State of the Roman Catholic Faith in Portugal
The Truth
The Truth
PURPOSE
The purpose of this document is to conclusively illustrate to the Faithful the true state of the Roman Catholic Faith and how much it has been eroded - even in the country where "...the dogma of the Faith will always be preserved..." - Portugal.
Maybe this reality check will move some to prayerful acts of reparation so that we may be able to answer "Yes!" to Our Lord's question: "But when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on earth?" [Luke 18: 8]
BACKGROUND
As part of the Message of Fátima of 1917, Mary, the Mother of Jesus Christ, thus, of God in the Flesh (1), conditionally stated:
"In Portugal, the dogma of the Faith will always be preserved; ..."

CONCLUSION
The above is the current profile (a profile which is getting worse day by day) of the population of the country where "the dogma of the Faith will always be preserved" - Portugal (8).
The illuminated reader can then draw his/her own conclusion regarding the State of the Catholic Faith in the rest of the world, thus the magnitude of the chastisements required to bring the world back to God.
EPILOGUE
Why does miguel de Portugal (9) continue to bring up the dismal state of the Faith, and the world, to our readers?
You will know the answer when you respond in your heart to: "Why did Jonah set out for the great city of Nineveh?"
If the reader has a Bible that is not exclusively used as a coffee table decoration, he/she may want to reread the Book of Jonah followed by the Book of Nahum. He/she will then have the full answer to said question as well as the Titanic-like "end of the story" (10).
The reader may now think: "Why bother then if the end of the story is Titanic-like?"
The answer is also quite simple: The Titanic could have sunk with no casualties at all, or it could have taken all to their deaths; however, a small fraction was saved. What awaits humanity is quite similar.
Dear brothers and sisters - as it is commonly said: "The ball is squarely in your court!" (11) That is, it is up to you to take the next step (11) to minimize the "casualty list".
May the Holy Spirit of God guide your every step. We assure you - without it, you will be hopelessly lost.
