St. John Maximovich

The Antichrist will provide an opportunity for the life of the Church, will allow her worship, promise the construction of beautiful churches ... there will be a mass falling away from the faith, moreover, many bishops will change the faith and, in justification, will point to the brilliant position of the Church.The search for a compromise will be the characteristic mood of people, the frankness of confession will disappear. People will make elaborate excuses for their fall. And gentle evil will maintain such a general mood, and people will have the habit of apostasy from the truth and the sweetness of compromise and sin. - Saint John (Maximovich) of Shanghai and San Francisco
