This reminds me of Luke 22:31-32, where Our Lord told Peter that he had prayed for him, because Satan desired to "sift" him. It looks like the sifting is still happening today, with people being forced to make up their mind, either for the Catholic Church and against the Conciliar church or for the Conciliar church and against the Catholic Church. There is no middle way, we're either either for or against Christ, either for or against His Church. Let's pray that there will be lots of wheat left over after the sifting!
