Byron and I are sharing the interpretation of the Third Secret of Fatima from a document released by the Vatican on June 26, 2000. In the document, then Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger offers some reflection on the vision that Sr. Lucia had. Here is copied the fourth to the last paragraph from http://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/c...on_cfaith_doc_20000626_message-fatima_en.html In the Via Crucis of an entire century, the figure of the Pope has a special role. In his arduous ascent of the mountain we can undoubtedly see a convergence of different Popes. Beginning from Pius X up to the present Pope, they all shared the sufferings of the century and strove to go forward through all the anguish along the path which leads to the Cross. In the vision, the Pope too is killed along with the martyrs. When, after the attempted assassination on 13 May 1981, the Holy Father had the text of the third part of the “secret” brought to him, was it not inevitable that he should see in it his own fate? He had been very close to death, and he himself explained his survival in the following words: “... it was a mother's hand that guided the bullet's path and in his throes the Pope halted at the threshold of death” (13 May 1994). That here “a mother's hand” had deflected the fateful bullet only shows once more that there is no immutable destiny, that faith and prayer are forces which can influence history and that in the end prayer is more powerful than bullets and faith more powerful than armies.
I think Popes soon will be more the Poes of the Catacombs. We may not even know their names. So strange. Imagine having a Pope and not having any idea who he is.
Pope JP II’s assassination attempt was in’81. How foolish of me! It was not about the Iraq war. Thank you Padraig, you must think I’m nuts!
Others seem to have attributed Pope John Paul, as the "bishop in white" as inferred in this video, but he did not say as much. He declared he was saved by our Lady of Fatima and put the bullet she saved him from in our Lady of Fatima crown at Fatima. Others have said this indicates him to believe he was was the "bishop in white". He did not say as much. As we know, the bishop in white is killed on the hill after walking over dead bodies, thus pending to still take place.
I think 1981 was a very special year. For many reasons. It was that year that saw a huge upswing of Marian events in the world. It was some kind of turning point.
Edward Pentin's blogpost about the Pontifical Biblical Commission's recently published document "What is Man? An Itinerary of Biblical Anthropology": https://www.ncregister.com/blog/edward-pentin/pontifical-biblical-commission-asks-what-is-man Imagine it took the Church 2,000 years to get around to asking such an important question. How did we manage without this grown up spirituality? In it's usual "nothing to see here" mode, the Catholic News Agency has interviewed an official from the CDF who has assured them that the document doesn't really mean what it seems to mean. In other words, when those "we won't call it marriage" ceremonies are approved in Germany, it wasn't really the intention behind Amoris Letitia or this new product of people in the Vatican who have long since abandoned the Church's mission: https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/...document-is-not-open-to-same-sex-unions-30867
Some good news. Former Anglican Bishop, Dr. Gavin Ashenden, will be received into the Catholic Church tomorrow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=A7XQ5e1gW0o&feature=emb_logo Dr. Ashenden had had enough of the dilution of Christianity in the Church of England. There is a link on Dr. Ashendon's twitter page to this article which sums up the modernist/cultural marxist takeover of Anglicanism: https://standfirminfaith.com/the-martyrs-and-missiological-damage/ The similarites with the tactics being used in our Church are striking. Same language to promote it, same acceptance by hierarchy, same promotion of clerics who embrace it, and same apologist types glossing over it and pretending that all will be well. Short of direct intervention from Heaven, we're sleep walking over the same cliff.
Some people say that he has already - to friends with similar preferences. Some people also say that it would a preference of most Jesuits although it's hard to tell because those of the lavender persuasion tend to be more vocal especially now when they have the go-ahead from the Pope. Don't forget that Pope Francis hand picked him to be a "Consultor" to Vatican Communications. For all anyone knows, he might already be a bishop. At the rate Pope Francis is promoting them, it won't be long before the Society is an army of generals and no foot soldiers. It's probably safest for orthodox priests to keep a low profile.
Dr Ashenden is a really nice man. I have been watching him for some time watching a blog of his with two wonderful fellow Anglican Ministers. Really good people. They are so interesting to listen too as all the terrible things that happened in the Anglican Communion are now spreading like wildfire in the Church. Actually the three Ministers on several occasions have compared events here to their own experiences as Anglicans. Great to get an outsiders take on things. They are wroth listening to here as they discuss Rome.
Yes, he does seem to be a nice man. There's just something about him that leaves me short of being fully convinced of his conversion. He was a member of the Episcopal Church which is part of the Anglican Communion although to us "Anglican" tends to mean Church of England. If he's going to be a Catholic priest, I hope that he will be properly ordained because Anglican orders are not valid. They were valid but not licit after the split until they changed the rite of ordination. He's a married Bishop. There was a question on his Twitter feed about whether he could be a Catholic Bishop after his reception into the Church and somebody responded that married former Anglicans can be an Ordinary but not a Diocesan Bishop (at least I think that's how they explained it). I think that I would be wary of going to a Mass celebrated by him unless I saw a recording of his ordination as a Catholic priest because, in all honesty, I'm not convinced that Pope Francis would insist on his being properly ordained. Here's a link to a March 2017 article on an Anglican website: https://archbishopcranmer.com/gavin-ashenden-leaves-church-england-ordinariate-circles-like-vulture/ Note how they quote him back then as saying that he wasn't resigning his Orders because "Orders are indelible". He was talking about Orders in the Episcopal Church. And that video you posted was a conversation from last week. Why was he dressed as an Anglican clergyman? Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Pope Francis is likening rigidity to imbalance (presumbaly mental imbalance). It's a pity he doesn't have such an indepth understanding of narcissism. And here's further evidence that what we're suffering through is the Cardinal Martini papacy being implemented by Pope Francis. Jesuit Cardinal Martini was a central figure in the St. Gallen Mafia and actually boasted about telling Pope Benedict to resign unless he sorted out the Curia. https://twitter.com/CatholicSat/status/1208329931068981248 Catholic Sat @CatholicSat Pope Francis in his annual Christmas address to the Roman Curia, quoting the late Carlo Maria Cardinal Martini SJ: "The Church is 200 years behind the times, why is she not shaken up? Are we afraid; fear instead of courage? Yet, faith is the Church's foundation" 2:14 am - 21 Dec 2019
How sad when I am finding myself nodding and smiling in agreement with an Anglican Bishop and two Ministers and gasping in horror at a Pope and Cardinals. I suppose Bishop Ashenden will go to the Anglican Ordinariate, in many, many ways they are far more Catholics than mainline Catholics.
You know the thing about all this Modernist thing is it is moving target. Say I was to take some kind of inner moral breakdown and cave in to all the current Vatican Clique is trying to sell me. Say I was to agree that Sexual perversion was fine and dandy, that adultery was A OK, that idol worship was no bad thing, that abortion was an irrelevance, that Marxist analysis was great, mass immigration fine, married and women priests wonderful and so on and on and on. Say I became as up to date and modern, progressive as the Holy Father . Would it end there? No . For modern secular morality is a moving ship. Next, you can see it coming is Mass Euthanasia. Mass political Censorship, One World Religion and Government....it keeps on moving to Progressive Liberal/ Marxist Heaven and seeks to drag us all there with them. It will never stop. People like Pope Francis and his friends will always want more and more and more. The Progressive moving target sails on into the sunset. I am not getting on board. This vinegary hearts old reactionary is not getting onboard. It's a terrible thing to say I suppose but thank God I'll be dead soon and not have to see too much of what they get up to next, the devils. Shame on them. Shame on them. Shame on them. But then again that's the problem, isn't it? These sell outs have no shame whatsoever.
I try not be bitter and sarcastic and nasty about it all. But its very, very hard to swallow sometimes. Well not sometimes. All the time.
So we're all mentally disordered, that's why we can't see the good in the change he is wielding against our Faith, changing church teaching on homosexual unions. Can't wait for for him to explain how God just make a mistake with Sodom and Gomorrah, that was old news, we need to get with the times! Setting the table now for the big one coming soon to a mass near you, changing the consecration and taking Christ out of our Mass, good gravy! https://www.breitbart.com/faith/201...epochal-change-rigidity-conceals-derangement/
