The Woman calls humanity to conversion but everyone hears other voices. Power, pleasure, wars and destruction dominate. What once was strong is destroyed. What was true is denied. All go their own way, enjoying each day and not worried about the night.
Humanity stands at its crossroads. Only later will this be seen. For now, all are blinded except those guided by the Woman.
Who can save humanity? Protect it? Move it away from destruction? The Woman. However, she must wait in the wings, in the shadows, until the pope places her on the Church’s mountaintop.
