It works the same way that the Consecration of Russia to the Blessed Virgin provided the spiritual underpinnings for the fall of communism in that country.

In this case, I don't see the fulfillment of that prediction yet...but I believe that it will happen at some point. (Look at the article I posted earlier today that kids are becoming more pro-life than their parents...with the propagandizing going on in public schools, who'da thunk that would have ever happened either?)

consecration of Russia to the Blessed Virgin

So, it is a spiritual force at work rather than a cause/effect sequence that can be spelled out.

I would say if asked "How to change Iraq?" that the US should buy a computer and the internet for every home in the country. Exposure to the modern world would lead to the demise of backward beliefs would be how I'd explain "internet leads to changed Iraq." (This is just an illustration, so don't push me on this point. :>)

You don't think there is any cause/effect sequence that explains HOW the IC leads to the demise of naturalism. Is that correct?

“Coals to Newcastle” as we Greeks are wont to say, Padre.
