But a very clear mission.
When the Roman Empire finally collapsed, which historians peg as September 4, 476 A.D., that's the day the barbarian king Odoacer deposed the last emperor in the West, Romulus Augustulus.
But imagine for a moment you are of the generation of Romans who saw with your own eyes the literal last day of the Empire. Gone, literally overnight, was all the glory of Rome. On the third day of September, you went to bed and an empire still existed, albeit in tatters. You wake up the next day and it's gone, never to return. A thousand years of Roman domination have just been wiped out.
Imagine the confusion, dread, uncertainty, anxiety and fear that would grip you in this new world order. Fast forward 1,600 years, and here we are again. The barbarians are on the verge of demolishing whatever existed of American greatness, the so-called American empire.
We won't get into the many reasons how we arrived here, except to say it was laziness, indifference and moral suicide. But that's for another Vortex. Today, we need to concentrate on what we do in the face of this uncertain future as Catholics and as baptized non-Catholics.
First, and put simply, baptized non-Catholics need to convert to the One True Faith, the only Church because it is the only one He established.
