This is the third or fourth such over-dramatizing "gloom and doom" pure-politics NCR article written by a religious or cleric in as many days. 

It lowers further my respect for these want to be political religious!

These articles are really beneath our intelligence and what should be our unshakeable Christian confidence in the providence of God. 

fRANCIS would chastise NCR for continuing their gloom and doom prophecy; it reminds me of the silly apocoleptc Protestant-based Left Behind series.
