That's the tricky part Michael Wood. Sustaining the magic. Especially when the forces of status quo seek to crush the change and peace makers... It takes honest leadership and harsh accountability for the space invaders, two things that are rare. If the high priests in power or their lowly operatives show the signs of crushing the invited dissent then may the good Lord replace them with honest leaders who do not crush the poor souls who dare to speak the truth. Time will tell as you said. In the meantime, Hopefully there is someone in the Church who will have the backs of those who pursue positive, lasting change.
