an empire that becomes too tolerant will not crumble with a thunderous crash; it will end with a wink and a nod as its suicide pact…

Armageddon is given, perhaps symbolically in Revelation (The Apocalypse) as the site for the Final Battle (between good and evil) and the Last Judgment.

Bishop Padovese canceled Cyprus trip to avoid assassination of Pope
An Italian Vatican expert is saying that Bishop Luigi Padovese, Apostolic Vicar of Anatolia and President of the Turkish Bishops’ Conference, canceled his trip to Cyprus because he feared that his driver –who later confessed to killing the bishop- might attempt an attack on Pope Benedict XVI during his stay on the island, reports Catholic News Agency.
Analyst Fr. Fillippo di Giacomo, who writes for publications such as L’Unitá and La Stampa, revealed that “hours before Padovese was killed, the Turkish Government called him to say that his driver, who they themselves had put in his service four years before, had gotten out of hand. That is to say, he had embraced the fundamentalist cause.”
