I had the strangest dream the night before last while I was still away camping. I dreamt that there were three senior priests in front of me (one of them was the Abbot of a Monastery). They were all men in about their sixties, I guess you would say venerable. I have no idea who they were I have never met any of them. Anyway the three of them began quizzing me on my opinions on Pope Francis and the direction he was taking the Church. As I began answering their questions as honestly as I could they became angrier and angrier even to the point of waving their fists at me. Strange dream. But it made me think a lot about anger. I was thinking if at any time in my life getting angry ever did me any good. I think maybe to be honest there were a few times getting angry was a big help. But generally speaking I think when folks get angry at you it is because they're unhappy with being faced with the Truth. Strange dream. But it has truth in it. I think folks if you Defend the Catholic Faith you will have to face loads and loads and loads of anger and even fury...even violence. Something to think about anyway. I sense loads and loads of anger out there hovering about..and it's only going to get worse.
By moderate I was referring to Ann B, in the matter of her immoderation and rabidity, and also the characteristics of her followers, to which SG objected. I don’t think we can compare Ann B’s preaching to Jesus. There are other ways of gleaning truth from many authors in this age of the internet. She does not personify my idea of a Catholic lady. Also what was missed is our obligation to fulfill the duties of our state life. It all ties in. My quote did in no way advocate that there was no need to know the truth about this crisis.
‘He was a great,’ Pope Francis says of St. John Paul II https://www.archbalt.org/he-was-a-great-pope-francis-says-of-st-john-paul-ii/
Francis’ Response To Amazon Synod Coming February 12, Vatican Announces https://www.ncronline.org/news/vatican/francis-response-amazon-synod-coming-feb-12-vatican-announces
What truth? Whether or not Chris Ferrara gave Ann the impression that he agreed with her about Benedict's resignation? What purpose will that serve? It surely won't make any difference to the people in authority. So, nothing will change unless there's direct intervention from Heaven. No matter what transpires between Ann and Chris, we're not going to see a group of Bishops getting together and electing a new Pope. Remember that only four Cardinals put their names to the dubia, and two of them have since gone to their eternal reward. Here's Edward Pentin talking about the situation in the Vatican over two years ago. Do you think anything has improved since then? It's looking like the Apostolic Exhortation will approve the ordination of married men, that there won't be women deacons (at least not yet) but there may be women Cardinals and possibly some kind of opening for "we won't call it marriage" ceremonies. So, that woman who keeps pushing for women's ordination may get to be a Cardinal as a consolation prize, Cardinal Marx can have a showy ceremonial blessing of that German politician and his "husband", and the priesthood will gradually develop into a family affair. Only the Pope and possibly Jeffrey Sachs know how much of the UN's Agenda 2030 will be written into the Exhortation. Of course, all the speculation could be wrong and Pope Francis could surprise everyone and make some effort to protect the Church from internal attacks by issuing a clearly written magisterial document for the first time in his papacy . We need to pray for the Church and for ourselves like we've never prayed before because the more the Church compromises with the world, the more the world will descend into the abyss and the harder it will be for us to live the faith handed down to us.
Another great post from Dolours. She's a woman well worth paying attention to. I just wish she had a wider audience than this forum reading her stuff. Anyway wonderful insightful stuff.
I usually wait for the official translation into English before posting these on their own forum thread but this latest Luz de Maria message seems to incorporate much of what is discussed on the Forum....so ....here is a portion of the latest message to Luz de Maria (approved), this time from St. Michael the Archangel. It is not as yet officially translated into English so this is a rough Google translation. But it shows how close we are getting to the schism. It also explains how the absolute sub-human behavior of sins today have elicited stronger and stronger reactions from nature...as nature is ordered by the Divine Will: "The inexorable passage of time accelerates the prophecies. ....... BEFORE THIS, I INVITE YOU TO STAY ATTENTIVE TO THE DECISIONS THAT PASS OVER THE DIVINE WORD BY MEN IN AUTHORITY TO REMOVE AND THEN WORK AND ACT AGAINST DIVINE WILL. The confusion in the Mystical Body of Christ opened the path of the schism that will reach the Church of Our King and Lord Jesus Christ. ........ STAY ATTENTIVE, VERY ATTENTIVE TO THE NOVELTIES THAT WEAKEN THE DIVINE WORD EXPRESSED IN THE SACRED SCRIPTURE! Great trials have settled on the Church of Our King and Lord Jesus Christ. Unjustified changes attract spiritual calamities that allow Demons to enter human creatures. Woe to those who are permissive with the fall of the Sons of the Most High! Great calamities loom over the entire Earth, man will not find where to take refuge, neither in the mountains, nor in the meadows, nor in the cities (Cf. Rev. 6.15-17), because the human creature has come to question to his King and Lord. The human creature has detached itself from its King and its Lord to surrender to the lower instincts, to such an extent that the Demons themselves will celebrate them when men pounce on the same men, worse than wild beasts. Then it will be when everything created is astonished and ashamed of man and his behavior and the Earth groans upon receiving so much abomination. Earthquakes increase their intensity, more than at this moment, the seas are agitated due to the movements that arise from the depths of the Earth and the seas. Ecosystems, broken by human hands, force insects to look for food in other habitats and cities are invaded by lobsters, grasshoppers and grasshoppers, leaving man without food. They lack humility to raise prayers to your Queen and Mother of all men, Our King and Lord Jesus Christ does not despise those who come to His Mother to intercede. Pray all, pray. The plagues advance in silence, some arise before man, others are caused by misused science. Pray all, pray. Before the silenced truth, be prudent, do not expose yourself to the diseases that will travel the Earth. Pray all, pray. Several countries suffer from major earthquakes on earth including Central America, Chile, Ecuador, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico and Puerto Rico. The state of California and the city of San Francisco move with great force. Argentina shudders. Great volcanoes go into activity and most men ignore it until they suffer. This is the great ignorance of man, he follows his idols of music, his idols in sports, but of the signs of Heaven they know nothing, they ignore what Heaven warns. ........ We the Heavenly Armies guard you, invite us to assist you, do not forget that you have Guardian Angels, invite them, talk with them, give them permission to intervene and do not allow you to go astray. =============================================================================== And this seems to go hand in hand with Mark Mallett's latest: THE GREAT TRANSITION https://www.markmallett.com/blog/2020/02/07/the-great-transition/
Unfortunately you are correct. When it erupts wildly we'll see unspeakable things like what happened in Rwanda
This seems to fit a pattern of the assault upon each of the 10 Commandments that has been a feature of this papacy. In this case, the Seventh and Tenth. There are numerous factual errors. Despite Bergoglian hysteria, the poor are not increasing qualitatively nor quantitatively. Although 'the poor are always with us', it is undeniably the case that our present economic system has ensured that, despite an unprecedently large population and that by orders of magnitude compared to previous times, there are proprtionately far less people living in destitution than ever before. This is continuing to improve. The Stalinist policies advocated by this pope would, from all known experience, catastrophically reverse this position. Christianity is 'whatever is mine is yours', satanic Marxism is 'whatever is yours is mine'. Which direction is Bergoglio heading?
What creates such rage and anger? GUILT G.U.I.LT. GUILT They're going straight to Hell and they are raging with fury we're not dragged along down there with them. The pervert community that calls themselves Gays are the perfect example. They want to drag the entire world to hell.
I don't think it's guilt, they truly believe they are right and we are the ones in the wrong. Rather, it's diabolical disorientation. They see up as down, left as right, and right as wrong. Pray for them, they all are just poor lost souls, like all of us. They're just really really lost, but the Lord came for all of us. Mabye through our charity towards them when the worst hits and we're all on our knees is when they'll be drawn to him, keep shining your light.
This is so true, Padraig. Why are there gay parades? Why are there drag queens in libraries? Why the legalization of gay unions (I will never equate this with marriage)? The satanic urge to flaunt their sin in public, to loudly cry out, "I will not serve!" This is the reason. The insanity of "bathroom laws" which put females at risk to be abused by males is just that: pure insanity. Why are abortion-until-birth laws now being enacted in a number of States in America? It is actually the shaking of fists in the face of a Holy God. How humble and and patient He is! What is left to ensure their dead consciences remain dead? The persecution of those who love and strive to remain faithful to God is required. For we are the reminder that there is Truth; He is a Person, the Lord Jesus Christ. And so these Abrahamic temples are being constructed. See, we are fair and you can believe what you want, but don't dare evangelize! Don't insist there is one Lord over all! Or else! And when the Man of Lawlessness arrives they will follow him because he is just a man telling them what they want to hear, until this Man of Lawlessness pulls the rug underneath their feet and demands them to bend the knee. God willing I will refuse if he appears before my death. Phil 2: 9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name which is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Of course, you are right, FP; My follow-up post ultimately speaks of those who will remain blind. John 9: 39 Jesus said, "For judgment I came into this world, that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may become blind." 40 Some of the Pharisees near him heard this, and they said to him, "Are we also blind?" 41 Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you would have no guilt; but now that you say, `We see,' your guilt remains.
St. Paul said, "the law of God is written on all man's heart". So all know truth deep down inside, but they rationalize it to their own likening. All know God's objective truths, such as the 10 commandments, but have dismissed them for the lie of relativism to allow their conscience to partner up with their choices.
I think their anger is rooted in fear, and their fear is rooted in their consiance. Because deep down they know or they suspect that what we are saying is the truth. We must pray for them God help them that they get the grace to turn back before it's to late.
