The Market isn’t the primary standard for how well a society is doing. The Law of God, and the degree to which a society is conforming to His Law, is the standard by which to know a society’s well-being. That will be reflected in the Market, but only over time. And how long did it take Rome to collapse? Centuries. So I find it unconvincing to, as some do, look around at the present state of the economy and, seeing the Market rolling along somewhat as usual, on the basis of the economy determine that the “doomsayers” have simply been off their rockers about how Western Civilization is doing. Civilizations that depart from the Law of God decline and eventually die. They simply take their time in doing so, because God is patient and longsuffering, delaying His harshest of judgments as long as possible, giving a people much time to repent.
God gives an unrepentant people wicked rulers. What is the Biden administration’s stance on sexuality and abortion? The answer to that question tells you everything you need to know about where we are.
