David is in the unenviable position of defending the indefensible and of doing this like some later day Don Quixote almost alone.I am fond of the Don Quixote's of this world who tilt at windmills alone. “Destiny guides our fortunes more favorably than we could have expected. Look there, Sancho Panza, my friend, and see those thirty or so wild giants, with whom I intend to do battle and kill each and all of them, so with their stolen booty we can begin to enrich ourselves. This is nobel, righteous warfare, for it is wonderfully useful to God to have such an evil race wiped from the face of the earth." "What giants?" Asked Sancho Panza. "The ones you can see over there," answered his master, "with the huge arms, some of which are very nearly two leagues long." "Now look, your grace," said Sancho, "what you see over there aren't giants, but windmills, and what seems to be arms are just their sails, that go around in the wind and turn the millstone." "Obviously," replied Don Quijote, "you don't know much about adventures.” ― Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, Don Quixote
Yes I can't believe how quickly Rome had gone into meltdown. All across the board. It is absolutely astonishing. My thoughts keep going to what Fr. Malachi Martin would say if he could comment on all of this. Though I truly don't like to put words in people's mouths, this surely is the time and these are the events he was warning of, no?
Frankly, I think we may be wasting valuable time and effort responding to those in denial. You can lead a horse to water...
I think so, Praetorian. Fr. Martin said that many in power would lose their faith and they would not even know they had lost it. This resonates every time I read an article about the excesses of the clergy and curia in Rome. Many there mirror the world and abrogate worldly ways instead of mirroring Christ, and the way to heaven. One can only pray for these folks, that they find their way back into Christ's arms. This is not our final destination.
Puzzling that this priest is attacking cardinal Chaput for presenting the true path for homosexual people in a frank and gentle way. Reminds me how Fr amorth expalined to Zavala how free mason priests in the Church are taught how to subtlely criticize bishops that are firm in the faith in order to incite enemity and suspicion of the people against them. One typical attack he mentioned is to portray them as intolerant, rigid and harsh.
Well, we know for certain that this is the final battle between our Lord and satan, because it is over marriage and the family, as Sr Lucia said. The evil one's time is running out and he is in a great hurry to do what he can. Lord, have mercy on us. Mother Mary, pray for us.
This is so sad. We can't put a stop to it. God's elect are doing this, so only God can stop them. Does God want this? I don't know any more. All I can think of are the millions of babies having their brains vacuumed out of their heads, their spinal cords cut with a scalpel, their tiny, defenceless bodies dismembered and sold. More homage to forgotten greatness, all in the name of the God of love and mercy.
God does not want this Dolours any more than He wanted the Israelites to sacrifice their babies to Baal. But with free will the Israelites freely did it. God sent prophets to warn repeatedly but as scripture tells us they were a stiff necked people. The parallels to the Church are so scary. And God punished them finally when mercy and warning didn't work and the punishments were devastating. We are living this pattern in these days. We have prophets. We have the Blessed Mother herself coming to warn us! But like the priests of Israel our churchmen don't want gloom and doom and the open the gate to the wolves. It is time for sackcloth and ashes! Your horror and anger are a pale reflection of what Our Lord feels. He dwells in your soul and He is sharing with you the pain He feels. He will act be sure and when He does.....well pray for these false shepherds. "It is a terrible thing to fall into the Hands of the Living God. "
Now we know why, when the pope came to the US he said NOTHING about the breaking selling of baby parts scandal. What do they have on him?
To the liberals, to do these things is almost a 'sacrament' to them, but your truthful, frank description would be considered cruel and hateful. Don't you know we're meant to be nice?
I have my suspicions too that Pope Francis may not be a free agent. Note the recent report of his concern with the orthodoxy of AL. Unfortunately, he ran it by Schonborn. Maybe this was the only option allowed him in the nest of vipers that is the Vatican? Was his recent support for little Charlie Gard a breakout from his prison guards?
Possible. I still think the whole truth about this good, humble man's resignation is yet to be disclosed...
