The Future of the United States of America.

Our priest is away for 5 weeks. He went back to India. It’s definitely hard when you are used to daily Mass. Many priest retiring here and Church closures are soon to come. Our priests are stretched to the limits and sometimes have 3-4 parishes. I feel so bad for them.

 

No, DeGualle [post 1620], I think not. Check out your local Missal in the pew. In the various Eucharistic Prayers, the fonts used for the words of Consecration are unique and always capitalized. I assumed publishers were directed to do so based on Church requirements. Thus, the importance of exact words are crucial. But then, in my entire life I have never heard the sacred words botched until the above clip. And that "botch" was unfortunately deliberate.


And if I recall correctly, the Abomination of Desolation will occur when the exact wording is changed and the Eucharistic Sacrifice thus forfeited.

Lord have Mercy!

 

The most recent development from Trump land...Gaza!

https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/bus...-u-s-will-own-and-develop-gaza-strip/6136191/

 

Is this the right thing to do? Can he end up doing this?

 

It's pretty wild and unexpected. Trump is talking about relocating Palestinians, not sure how this will all play out but it certainly won't be easy.

 

I just listened to the "consecration". Geez NO, he's ad libing!! He's clearly a super liberal.

 

It's so sad. The great danger these days if that if a priest says a Mass that is not really the Mass he will probably get away with it and keep on doing it forever and ever. So to the Faithful it will seem exactly like the Mass but not be the Mass at all. Sadly I grow more and more to suspect that increasing numbers of Masses all over the World may be invalid. I believe this is the Abomination of Desolation spoken of in the Book of Daniel. Numerous Catholic saints and mystics have warned us about this precise thing. Now we see this precise thing coming to pass.No ruling comes from the Vatican making invalid Masses happen what they simply do is create the atmosphere where it can thrive. This they have done and are so doing.

How can we protect ourselves from this? Well one good way is the Traditional Mass. In this the Liturgy is kind of frozen in Amber and would be very difficult to tamper with.

Another way is to get to know your priests and ask yourself if they are good people and trustworthy? This is such a very,very,very sad thing to write. But I am afraid it is the reality of the situation. I mean if you lived somewhere like Germany at the moment finding a good priest or Bishop, or Cardinal might be a real problem.

Another way is to follow the words of the Mass as said by the priest closely in your missal or App to confirm all is well. Catholics should be following along closely anyway.

To be aware that there might come a time when you have to press the ejector button. As St Paul said:

2 Corinthians 6:17

Therefore, “Come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.”


I don't mean to sound negative about all this but I am afraid this is what we face at present. In fact I am very positive about a lot of what I see in Catholic Parishes that I visit . Very holy priests and lay people. Sometimes even saintly . The older I get the more I admire and appreciate them. It is inspiring to look around my Parish Church and see people , many of which I have known since childhood, be so very,very holy and good people. So many truly very holy and admirable priests.

But there are warning signs. For instance I sometimes visit the Church in a nearby sea side town. There is a lay person there a gentleman who carries a big briefcase all the time and had been appointed a rep to the Synod on Synodalities in Rome. I can only say I get the chills every time I look at the the guy. Also a lot of things that are happening in that Church give very grave cause for concern.

Recall what Blessed Catherine Emmerich said of the false Church:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/2419255661497957/posts/8287367441353387/

1. THE VISION OF THE FALSE CHURCH
Emmerich’s visions describe a future in which a false, man-made church would arise.
This false church would be a counterfeit version of the true Church, seeking to resemble it outwardly while being devoid of its spiritual essence.
She saw a church that was worldly, politically motivated, and overly concerned with secular issues, losing its focus on Christ and the salvation of souls.
In one of her visions, Emmerich saw two churches:
One that was authentic but small and suffering, and another that was large, well-organized, and full of people but lacking true spiritual substance.
She described this false church as “a dark and deceptive power,” one that seduces many faithful through confusion, appealing to modern values but undermining the core truths of the faith.
---
2. CHARACTERISTICS OF THE FALSE CHURCH
▪︎ Secularization of the Faith:
According to Emmerich, the false church is marked by an excessive focus on political and social issues at the expense of spiritual truth.
While the Church has a duty to advocate for social justice and the common good, the false church distorts this mission by prioritizing secular ideologies over Gospel values.
This leads to a dilution of doctrine and the marginalization of essential teachings, such as sin, salvation, and the sacraments.
▪︎ Compromise of Doctrine:
The false church, in Emmerich’s vision, would compromise on essential truths in order to accommodate modern culture.
This may manifest in the acceptance of practices or beliefs that are contrary to Catholic doctrine, such as moral relativism or the denial of the existence of sin.
For Emmerich, the false church represents a departure from the truth of Christ’s teachings in order to appease the world.
▪︎ False Ecumenism:
Emmerich also warned of a false ecumenism, where the Church would seek unity with other religions or movements by downplaying essential Christian truths.
This false unity would not be based on a genuine search for truth but on a desire for worldly peace and harmony, ultimately leading to the dilution of the faith and confusion among believers.
▪︎ Persecution of the True Church:
Emmerich’s visions also included scenes of the true Church being persecuted and marginalized.
This smaller Church would be faithful to Christ’s teachings but would suffer ridicule, isolation, and even physical persecution from the world and from those within the false church.
She saw the faithful remnant as a group that would remain loyal to Christ despite immense challenges.

 

I think it’s tied in with Jared Kushner’s desire to develop Gaza. Kushner is Trump’s son-in-law. Just my thoughts.

 

This is an idea from the bottom of hell and probably one of the most cruel crimes of the 21st century just thinking about it, and I'm afraid only if it starts to be implemented...

I said a couple of months earlier that it was strange to me that the media against Trump, in the end even the elites shut up and gave him their support. I also said that I consider him far more capable than the Biden administration, which was incompetent. Now when you add 2+2 and add this statement, then it is clear to you that Trump was brought in to achieve the cleansing of Gaza and Greater Israel...

On the one hand, he satisfies his electorate, and on the other hand, he works for his sponsors.

No one has the right to ethnically cleanse a people who were born there and have lived there for centuries, not to mention that the same people were mercilessly bombed and exterminated for a year and two months out of pure hatred and revenge.

This is a sin that cries out to heaven, a despicable and criminal act. In the end, the question arises, were Stalin, Hitler and the others bad at all if this is allowed today? Killing, torturing and banishing can if it serves those who dictate with money, the media and the world stage.

You should never support for others what you would not want someone to do for you. We have to put ourselfs in the shoes of those people and imagine what it would be like if someone did this to us and persecuted us from our land and the land of our ancestors.

I have no words to describe how disgusted I am with the statement.

 

Only someone completely devoid of any sense of justice and compassion would see a heinous genocide as an opportunity for real state development and huge financial gain.

But I suppose that was the plan all along.

That’s the Greater Israel project taking shape before our eyes - with the full support of the United States and millions of our Christian brothers and sisters.

I am sick at heart. I have a chilling suspicion that he is in huge overreach on many serious issues. The latest --shutting down USAID--this seems excessive to me. And now Gaza. God help us and especially the poor people of Gaza.

 

Exactly. I was shocked when I heard this news. People are going crazy with this on social media, posting images of a Trump resort on the Gaza Strip. This will not end well for the Palestinians or the US, we will be targeted.

 

They shut down USAID to do an accounting of the books. It is being absorbed by the state dept. it’s about time there was an investigation. It’s shocking where billions of dollars have gone. Auditing is way overdo. Our govt has been poorly mismanaged, sadly.
Millions of dollars wasted on woke causes, sad.

 

Yes. You're right. I was listening to Joni Ernst explaining how Congress had tried to exercise oversight and were rudely rebuffed. They refused yo give an accounting.

 

The left is being exposed and they are screaming like pigs in a poke.

 

Yep.

 

My late father visited Palestine (what the Holy Land was called in the WWII time frame) and he was sickened by the events which took place afterwards, after Israel was founded circa 1948. I didn’t understand his feelings as I was growing up, but I do now.

 

Blizzard, I wondered the same thing. How long has this planning been going on?

 

Probably a long time.
