The Two eras.
n.b. Note that the primacy for all reading is what it has always been: The Bible! Always seek as a priority a Catholic Bible that has a traditional Catholic commentary. (Before Vatican II.)
This Era (the two eras.)
We have, in effect, two final eras. The era of Preparation For The Lord. And the era that the apostate angels have set in place.
The World is flooded with apostate angels; and with their vast intelligence, the "locusts" released from the bottomless pit (Apoc 9:1-3.) The build up to Armagedon (Apoc ch 16 & 19 (17-21) is a difficult time for the relatively few humans left in the world (we are in that time Now!) See: The Two eras, Guide to The Apocalypse, The Secrets of La Salette, Locust amidst mankind, and Fallen creatures.
The Two Eras:
Humans are amidst a terrible final chastisement upon mankind; the apostate angels, in human form (incarnate demons) and with their vast intelligence; the “locusts” released from “the bottomless pit” as foretold in the Apocalypse (Apoc;9:1-3.) And with the warning given to the Church at La Salette in France in 1846, as to their approaching release from hell (in 1864.) Around the mid - late mid nineteenth century seems very accurate. This, the “locusts” and with their swarming, has become the final “flood” upon wayward mankind.
Now, more than one hundred and fifty years and numerous generations on from [1864], humans are (perhaps more condensed in some circumstances than others), in effect, dispersed intermittently amidst the apostate angels, and ever decreasing in numbers as we move towards the 2030's. There are relatively very, very few humans left in the world. This, in turn, affirms that we are in the very, very last days of the world as we know it. And also, of course, draws attention to the great (especially spiritual) dangers that humans are in.
Accordingly, what is written on this site is underlined with urgency.
In effect, we are living in two distinct eras that are running concurrently; the era of the preparation for the Lord's Second Coming in judgement (the era that humans must be in.) And the era that the apostate angels have set in place and which humans are amidst, and caught up in.
The apostate angels have set in place what can be termed: “the era of the hollow facade.” Their societal setting is a general setting of distraction away from God and our needed focus on the Eternal Wisdom, our true treasure, and our true learning, unto salvation; unto eternity. A general distraction for humans by which they lead humans astray with their goal of leading souls on into their abode of hell, where they reign and reside. A place where, at all and every conceivable cost imaginable, humans MUST NOT GO!
And in this, their era of distracting humans, they are in control in the sense that they take both sides in any dispute; are in both teams, are on all sides, are in all groups and organizations, and humans are amidst and embroiled in this. And all built upon, all or for the most part, from a previous human era. The eighteenth century was the last whole century of mankind.
Humans must stand in the right era; the era of preparations for The Lord.
We must always be asking ourselves as to how we can love God more, always seeking to please Him; pleasing God is the award that all humans should crave. To give greater glory to God (see esp. St John's gospel ch 14- 17 .) All whilst making our paths straight, our lives steady and stable; away from distractions and help as many humans as possible to do the same. And all in what is ever increasingly an immediate preparation for the Lord.

cont..
No believer seriously doubts that the fallen angels have been intertwined with mankind's destiny from the very beginning; their vast cunning and evil intelligence made known early; in the garden of Eden itself. Lucifer, the serpent, the devil, knew where the garden of Eden was, he knew why Adam and Eve were there, he knew exactly what they were allowed and were not allowed to do, and he found Eve, and tempted her accordingly. The fall of Adam and Eve, and the whole of mankind with them, meant an automatic descent into hell upon death; a place where humans, at all and every conceivable cost imaginable, must not go.
God, In His great mercy and love, set in place a chance for mankind; a battle. It is the one great battle, it is always in place, it is the battle for human souls. God's words, addressed to the serpent, are found in Genesis III:XV:
"I will put enmity between you and the woman, between your seed and her seed;
He shall crush your head, and you shall lie in wait for his heel "[Gen 3:15.]
Thee greatest help for mankind in the battle is the Saviour, Our Lord Jesus Christ, His living, teaching, suffering and dying amongst us that we might be joined with Him in His glorious resurrection from the dead. His victory is to which we must be joined. The devil and his demons always seek to prevent this; they who have no soul to lose, no heart to touch. They have never ignored the great battle, but mankind's own complacency, in spite of the great efforts by the Church down through the centuries, finds the final chastisement upon us; apostate angels living in our midst; it is the great battle of Genesis III:XV at an absolute pitch.
Just as Lucifer did in the garden of Eden, the demons cunningly disguise their real intent; they are not really after your money, or your profession, or your trade, they are not after your applause, or your compliments or your votes, or your cheering or praise, they are after human souls, and they influence humans (who are caught up amidst them and now vastly reduced in numbers) into assisting them in their scheming and ways.
In order to try and combat this humans must try to live good, organized, Faith filled, simple style lives, thinking carefully as to what we do and how we are influenced in and during each day, and focused on the goal of salvation and the Lord's Second Coming.
The Catholic Church is the one true Church, and joined to God through heavenly union. Catholics must strive at all times to keep to good traditional Church teaching and stay as closely within the Church as possible. And TRUST God. And Our Lord said that He would be with His Church all through the days:
.. and behold I am with you all days, even unto the consummation of the world. "[Mt 28:20]
And at all times mindful that this is a very short sojourn upon God's earth but which determines [all] unto our futures.
Holy Michael the Archangel, defend us in the day of battle, be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust down to hell Satan and all wicked spirits who wander through the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen. Pope Leo XIII

The following question, (the question itself contained in the Booklet) is unique to these last times of the world as we know it; it can only make sense (and which it does make sense) in the circumstances of this era (the question has its own build up to it) and the question itself is for secularists/non-believers to answer. But it is of interest to both believers and non- believers, as reflected in the full Booklet's task, and which is: To help non-believers to believe, and to believe that these are the very last times of the world as we know it. And to help those who already believe to understand that these are the very last times of the world as we know it.
