Thanks for the input. Something just seems fishy about this; given the masterful, deliberative, precision put into the several changes of terminology from WCF in other sections, this sounds downright sloppy. I mean "we expect..."? This sounds more like the endless round of bilge that supplanted Savoy starting 200 years later.

But then it may be, as you imply, just a carelessly worded expression akin to "well we all know how bad things have been, and it's looks like they're going to get a lot worse real soon, so let's not forget that eventually things will settle down again." That may be adduced from the complete lack of specific millenian language, rather just a general tendency seems to be in view, and many amils would find it hard to argue with that in certain times and places.

Bottom line may be: better not put explicitly millenial language in your confessions!

In Christ,
Paul S
