The Soul Predators
Man is destined by his very nature for transcendence, that is, for an eternal future in God. We see this from the very dawn of the history of all peoples and throughout the world. The teachings of the Judeo-Christian revelation are the only consistent basis for a monotheistic religion that opens direct access to God for a personal relationship with him.
In the 17th century, Descartes introduced, on a philosophical level, the abandonment of realism in order to see things unrealistically, as the subject sees them within himself. This principle wreaked havoc on the philosophical and theological understanding of God, relegating Him to the realm of non-scientific thought. This has had a profound impact on school and university education over the last 200 years, opening up a void that is ultimately the cause of the current chaos in the moral order.
Thus, for about 120 years, substitutes for the truth about the world and God have burst onto the world cultural scene, opening the doors to ideologies (Marxism and communism) and so many other evils. This has blocked access to revealed truth, opening a void in souls.
Having lost everything that filled their longing for transcendence, people became easy prey for sects, which has created, in economic terms, a market demand. Thus arose sects that offer pseudo-religions in exchange for money.
This is where many opportunists have entered, founding their sects to make money. The videos below show the situation in the world and in the United States:

It is striking that sects tend to have a Protestant imprint, because it was Luther who rejected the Catholic magisterium, which for two thousand years has been guarding the deposit of divine revelation, warning against any error or divergence. In the last century, it warned Catholics and the whole world against communist and Nazi ideologies, just as it now condemns WOKE ideologies.

This video presents a problem that is distinct from and parallel to cults. We see how digital technology can be used to take over a person’s soul in an Orwellian way if it is not anchored in truth. Logically, the ideal would be a deep and firm spiritual formation that ensures inner freedom and great stability of spirit.
Never before have there been true psychopathic pandemics like those of recent years.

This is because man has a spiritual soul, which means he has a very high dignity, but at the same time, and for that very reason, he is the most vulnerable living being in the universe. If parents neglect their children, they can become addicted to the small screen of their mobile phones.
If this does not lead to greater evils, in adolescence and adulthood, that person is likely to live a very self-centered life, overly dependent on their cell phone, uncommunicative, and therefore with few friends. If they manage to start a family, they enter a positive process of revitalizing their natural capacity for interaction with others.
Good defeats lies and evil
In any case, as long as the person has not been appropriated by the predatory system, they can always break their chains. And even in serious situations, they can always get back on their feet and avoid dangerous digital situations in the future. In the US, there is a whole new wave of clubs and associations that help each other in this regard, and where faith in God plays a very important role.
In addition, there is a strong resurgence of faith around the world, with countless videos on the subject on YouTube. This is also confirmed by the million young people who went to see the Pope in Torre Vergata, Rome. Evil makes a lot of noise, seeking to be seen, while normal people are always the silent majority who ultimately keep the world going.
