THE PERVERSITY OF APOSTASY

“Society is at the present time, more than in any past age, suffering from a terrible and deep-rooted malady which, developing every day and eating into its inmost being, is dragging it to destruction (…) this disease is apostasy from God (…) this great perversity may be as it were a foretaste, and perhaps the beginning of those evils which are reserved for the last days.”

Saint Pius X
