Our First World energy gluttonous (read: sinful) lifestyles are fueling global warming which, in turn, is fueling these massively &#8216;spreading&#8217; wildfires in California, Australia, etc., etc., etc&#8230;  Think God might be trying to draw a graphic metaphoric corollary for us?  I do.  And by extension, here&#8217;s another metaphoric corollary:  In Fatima, Portugal in 1917, the Blessed Virgin Mary showed three young children a vision of Hell and said souls were falling into it &#8220;like snowflakes.&#8221;  (*This incident has been studied and approved by the Catholic Church.)  The children reported they saw a scene similar to what&#8217;s portrayed in this photo above, only the vision also showed scores of people screaming in pain amidst the flames. <strong> Note:<\/strong>  Incidentally, that was 1917.  Look around.  <strong>Q.<\/strong> How much more collectively, and individually, evil have we become since then? <strong>A<\/strong>. <em>A lot<\/em> more evil. <em> So&#8230; <\/em>Time to realign.
