1976 was probably the turning point from which Society has been fracturing at an accelerating pace,directly proportional to the loss of Faith,and unfortunately the failure of the Shepherds to guard the flock. Bishop Murray was prophetic in a simple and direct manner. This interview is extremely pertinent to ...here...and...NOW. These are the testing times. Peace on Earth to all men of goodwill,and may God confound the rest.
