Before the coming of the Holy Ghost, the world was full of idolatry, superstition, tyranny, oppression and revolting practices. The poor and suffering were uncared for. Half the world was enslaved. Yet the Holy Ghost renewed the face of the earth! Civilization flourished and the world became a far better place, filled with truth and compassion. By way of example, we can look to Prince Vladimir of Kiev (+1015). He was a cruel, vice-ridden leader who even offered human sacrifice. Then he was baptized, married a Christian princess, destroyed idols, brought his nation to Christianity, and became a saint. Sadly in today's post Christian world, a neo-paganism has returned. Many baptized people have rejected the faith of our Fathers. The results are all too obvious: coldness, harshness, revolting vices and a culture of death are pervasive. The 'spirit of the world' destroys civilization. The face of the earth is once again becoming desolate.
