And yet Padre Pio would not speak against his superiors. Are we going to imitate the Saint or post about how bad our leaders are? Prayer obtains all things.
On Spirit Daily there was a link to an article in America mag, (which I rarely look at) with a header reading Pope: I Am Only Doing What Cardinals Requested. https://spiritdaily.org/blog/news/pope-i-am-only-doing-what-cardinals-requested The actual headline at America reads In new interview, Pope Francis says becoming pope made him less rigid and more merciful. (which immediately brought to mind the nutty son emperor in the movie Gladiator ) The interview was conducted on June 20th & published on July 1st. There was an interesting message from Gisella Cardia on June 21st that said :" Our Lady to Gisella Cardia on June 21th, 2022: Dear children, thank you for being here in prayer and for having bent your knees. Daughter, you must tell the priests that their confusion is between the heart and the mouth; in this way they are bringing confusion among My children and they still do not understand that the transubstantiation of the bread and wine occurs with the Consecration and the descent of the Holy Spirit who transforms [them] into body and blood and divinity. My children, pray much, for the earth is an immense desert and where there will be water, it will cause much damage. Children, my angels sing their lament because my Son Jesus is torn with pain; pray and love my Jesus and remember that He died for you and to free you from sin. The Bishop of Rome will be attacked by the very people who support him. Now I bless you, in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen. I couldn't help but wonder if he's starting to have doubts about the path he's been treading the last 9 years..... Can we dare to hope? What do you think?
The 5 things I most regret concerning this Pontificate are: 1) the refusal to respond to the Dubia revolving around Amoris Laetitia 2) the Abu Dhabi document 3) the unpublished Agreement with China and the desertion of the underground Church 4) the Pachamama scandal 5) the repression of the TLM and related cloister orders The 3 things I most appreciate: 1) the Marian Consecration 2) Pope Francis instructions on diabolical disorientation 3) Year of Saint Joseph
The Holy Father's statement here is the most curious thing. It reminds me of being a little child and saying , 'He made me do it!'
Padre Pio did not always stay silent. I think as regards himself and his own interests as a Victim Soul who walked in the footsteps of Jesus who was dumb before His accusers, he did stay silent. However one time his Capuchin Superiors turned up with Padre Pio from Rome. They had lost all their dough on dodgy financial investments they should not have touched with a barge pole. They ordered Padre Pio under obedience to hand over the huge amount of money he had saved from donations for the hospital he was having built. They hoped this would dig them out of the hole they had dug for themselves. Padre Pio angrily chased the lot of them. He pointed out the money was not his, that it was given for the hospital and that in asking for it they were engaging in theft and asking him to thieve too. So Padre Pio could speak out in defence of others. This rather than just himself. You know there are occasions that being silent is not only wrong but a deeply criminal, immoral and evil act.
Pope Francis has dismissed reports that he plans to resign in the near future, saying he is on track to visit Canada this month and hopes to be able to go to Moscow and Kyiv as soon as possible after that. https://www.rte.ie/news/world/2022/0704/1308301-pope-francis/
https://www.foxnews.com/world/pope-francis-dismisses-rumors-resigning It is interesting to me how he puts this out there. He must know all about Garabandal and any other prophecy that includes Russia. When he says this stuff it is a message to the people who know and believe in prophecy. The message i am receiving is….Prepare, for the illumination is coming sooner than we thought.
Wow!! Amazing times! The Prophecies of Our Lady of Mount Carmel at Garabandal in Spain falling into place right before our very eyes! Astonishing!
when it is said that hostilities would erupt when the pope returned from moscow it means he is effectively in rome or making the return journey? Because if it is the second option and russia launches some electromagnetic pulse attack he may have difficulties in returning (the that would possibly bring about the prophetic exile)?
Anyone who has taken a course in logic knows that speaking out of both sides of your mouth is pure nonsense. Pope Francis decries abortion, but... This is why Pelosi visits the Vatican at various intervals and receives the desired photo-op with Pope Francis.
Rev 3:15 I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were cold or hot! 16 So, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of my mouth. 17 For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing; not knowing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. 18 Therefore I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, that you may be rich, and white garments to clothe you and to keep the shame of your nakedness from being seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, that you may see. 19 Those whom I love, I reprove and chasten; so be zealous and repent. Pope Francis must have no Fear of the Lord for he literally speaks out of both sides of his mouth. He in effect states the following: "I find abortion reprehensible, but I won't correct the one who fully and publicly promotes and funds it- that is not pastoral."(hot, then cold, in his public way) Lord, "Please knock him "off his horse". St. Paul, pray for our Pope. I will refrain from speaking on the Forum about him anymore.
Don't ever forget the Year of the Holy Door. The Year of Mercy 2016 I believe, when we could make designated Holy Door visits to gain indulgences all around the world. I will treasure that year to my dying day. Praised be Jesus and Mary. Merciful Jesus, I Trust in Thee. And don't forget the years when Holy Father Francis asked us all to join him in 24 hours of prayer. Sometimes if feels like our Holy Father has to do deals with the devil (it's minions ensconced in the Vatican). Because each time he makes an announcement that is truly Catholic and immediately recognised as such by us all; it is followed by another announcement that is truly diabolically disorientated. We just must Keep Watch and Pray. The most recent remark from Holy Father that he is only carrying out what was agreed among the Cardinals prior to his election, is truly a cop out, and it is the second time he made that statement. I do wonder what the Dubia Cardinals would make of that statement. THEY MADE ME DO IT is what a naughty child says when caught out after doing something they know is wrong. God help our Holy Father, and please God help us all. It looks like we are being punished for not listening to the Popes in the recent years.
I find myself clinging to the hope that He is not "our Holy Father" but that we do have a Holy Father, Pope Benedict.
