The Minor Chastisement and the Reunion of Christians in the Divine Plan, a Poem

First it was God is Trinity and incarnation 300 to 1000

Then schism in bitterness between east and west 1000

Then scandal in in the hierarchy

Then rejection of the Tradition and hierarchy 1500, clinging only to the Scriptures, which are supernatural

Then rejection of all supernatural essence and clinging only to reason 1700

Then rejection of reason 1900

The world did not end when the rejection of reason confronted itself, that is, atheism in totalitarian horror and relativistic hedonism

And since reason is last on the list, it seemed to start over, like with the octave of music starting us over

So we go back to Islam and chastisement, meaning the Trinity and the Incarnation, terrorism, wars

The world hasn't ended with Islamic terrorism so now it progresses to the next one, which is east west and bitterness, and it seems the Eastern conflict may draw the East and the West into supreme conflict

Now we can foresee World War III bringing the world to its knees and repentance, the peak of the chastisement

Then we can foresee healing beginning, progressing as in the first cycle

East and West forgive one another and reconcile

The reunion of the two glorious Lungs

And if the East can forgive Peter his sins, should not the heretics be able to forgive the Bishops their sins, reuniting Protestantism with the Church

And if the supernaturally dead ones clung only to reason because of the division of Christians

What will the reunion of Christians mean except the restoration of faith in the world itself

And so the world goes from the darkness of pagan Rome to the light of the new Christendom

This is also a logical progression

These sources of Truth descend in reliability by themselves

God is supreme as the most reliable source of truth

Peter is next in command, not knowing as muc, but he's the head of our church, most wise

Under Peter is the general Bishops and Tradition; they don't know as much as he does, but they know more than the scriptures by themselves, which is to say, Protestants

Under the bishops are the scriptures, which taken by themselves are a prescription for chaos, but it definitely tells us more than reason which tells us nothing but God and morals

And finally reason is beneath the scriptures; again, only telling us there is a God and natural law so, they are the lowest

But the evidence for these sources goes the opposite direction

Meaning the most worthless source is most evident and the most reliable sources are the most difficult to find

Every Man Has reason and so it is most evident

Scripture is less evident, for the Indians had to be brought scripture, no one gave it to them

Bishops and tradition are even less evident than the Bible because in the fathers, whereas their scriptures are the most quoted source of Truth, mention of apostolic succession and Authority in Tradition is far less

Peter's special Authority is mentioned even less in the father's than Bishops in Tradition and so is less evident

Finally the Mysteries and dogmas of the Trinity and the Incarnation are the most elusive most hidden
