I mean, the scripture that Christians shall be brought up to heaven in 1 Thessalonians 4 clearly exists, but I don't find any basis in scripture that tells Christians to give up without a fight before that moment comes. Quite the opposite, in fact, I would imagine. So whatever the evangelicals say about how we should give up and not fight would (or could) be a psyop, but that's why it's important to follow the Holy Spirit.

Catholic monarchies were a... well, in some regards yes. In others not so much. I don't fault you for wanting such a thing to happen again, but the fall of Constantinople did also happen on the Catholic church's watch.

I too wish that more nations of the world could uphold Christ, and, as it were, become a new 'Christendom' like the days of yore, but it is difficult. I would not really ascribe this wholly to the Catholic church itself, however, but the common beliefs of the people.

As for the relentless attacks against the Catholic church - every real church undergoes such attacks, as does every Christian who wants to pursue God. It is a fact of life. It would be great if the Catholic church could be restored, but I don't actually know any Catholics who are very passionate about this in real life, though they evidently exist (I read about and of them all the time on the internet, and Archbishop Vigano is representative of the archetype). This doesn't mean that I don't respect Catholics at all, I just think that you should get your local church excited about God before you tell people halfway across the world from you that the way they conduct their worship service and the way they pray is wrong.

At the end of the day, the only thing we can do is try to reach out to the people immediately around us. As in the parable of the talents, we are given them by God (our Heavenly Father!) and He expects us to use them. That's how churches grow - organically.
