Well done. Your comment about the Roman, the Brit, and the American was particularly striking in light of Scott Brown's election in Massachusettes this week. What struck me is how so many voted for him, even though he supports abortion, because he was the lesser of two evils. I'm not sure that this is necessarily in-tune with what Jesus teaches us in His apocalyptic message. Perhaps He would say, far better to choose neither evil and rest in Him than to choose a lesser evil and rest in the world, for the US and the world are finite. What do you think?

I wonder if Fr. Barron would include the (institutional) Catholic Church in the list of temporary entities that will surely pass? Presumably yes?

@terrence - If Catholics are correct in their belief that the Catholic Church was istituted by Jesus Christ then the answer is no but that I suggest you ask him yourself he will give a much more eloquent explanation of it than I ever will.
