Indeed. But we were born for THIS time. Let us remain faithful in the time remaining.Yep the Crusades, while a noble and righteous cause, had consequences back home socially, politically, fiscally, etc. But there was recovery also.
Believe me, I do wish I was born in a different age. Maybe the late 1887 instead of 1987 so I could've come of age in the early 1900s in the golden age of rail travel, before all the distractions of entertainment media (which is ironic of me to say since it's my profession, my livelihood today). But I digress.
I know every era has it's own set of problems, but the diabolical movements of 2020 and perhaps the past 25-50 years certainly make me feel as though I prefer almost any other era. What I think the radtrads are right about is that the faith was noticeably more unified, stronger, prior to the reforms of Vatican II. There were still apostates and heretics and lapsed Catholics to be sure, but the changes that came after the council have really ruptured and fragmented things in a different way.
