The Church, many said, had refused to enter the twentieth century. In response, Pope John launched Vatican II, an “ecumenical council” that summoned hundreds of church leaders to Rome. It marked one of the most progressive turns the Church had taken in centuries: “medicine of mercy,” as Pope John called it. Yet not everyone in the Church was prepared to accept this modernization.

Are you missing half the story about the last days? Virtually all attention these days is focused on the coming Antichrist—but he is only half the story.

After all, today’s Vatican is eager to join hands with Protestants worldwide. “The Catholic church has changed” is what we hear.

A beautiful object is whole and complete; it possesses a certain splendor or radiance that makes it attractive to us; and there is order through which the ingredients receive proportion and relationship toward each other. The pieces fit together. What do these aesthetic considerations have to do with Regnum Christi? The question is justified, because when we listen to our favorite music or admire our favorite work of art or literature, we usually do not think about harmony either; we just enjoy its implicit power.
