Sister Teresa Forcades: Europe's most radical nun?

Our Church and society at large are full of the diabolical, they are strategically placed to do the most damage and lead many souls to hell!

 

Thanks for the open and considered comments Mac.

Hmmnn. If the traditional principle I am relaying here is proving unpalatable in principle then the Church really is in deep shite !

I lodged with the Dominicans for 5 yrs while completing my studies in the early 1980s. Their Roman trained lecturers and seminarians were regarded as rabidly conservative by all the nuns and laity (and many seminarians such as SVDs and some Franciscans but not the Carmelites) also studying Theology at the open Catholic Campus. Only these "rabidly" conservative seminarians thought it important to also take Aquinas's very heavy philosophy and theology papers taught by the Dominican lecturers. Very, very few laity of course took these papers as one could more easily get one's bachelor or masters degree by breezing through on the lighter papers. I was one of those laity who took exactly the same heavyweight papers as the Dominican seminarians because I lived with them and the lecturers and they were my friends. In fact I learnt a lot more theology in-house as I attended the specialised Dominican in-house training and informal common-room discussions with the Dominican professors and community I lived with.

These Dominicans (and myself riding shotgun) were probably one of the last groups of our generation to receive the same hi-level, traditional philosophical/theological training that was imposed upon the seminaries of the Western Catholic Church by the Council of Trent some 500 years ago due to the poor state of priestly education at the time. All this training started disintegrating, or becoming much diluted, after Vatican II. I ended up being better traditional theologically trained than most diocesan priests.

But back to the Campus I attended in the early 1980s. Needless to say, by associating with these habit wearing Dominicans, I was consequently lumped in with these so-called geeky, "ultra conservatives" derided by the rest of the "modern" seminarians and Sisters and other laity (unfortunately including the few young Catholic women attending).

And now, thirty plus years later, my traditional and conservative education (better than many priests) seems a "problem" for those who have a better conduit to God through "authentic prophecy". Ah well, no good deed goes unpunished as they say.

If this be the case it seems to me the Church needs more humility and compassion rather than righteous true believers. We cannot all be the totally correct, righteous true believers. That path seems to end in fascism.

 

Hi BH, you have a very interesting background and training! You could dance rings around me theologically. Also, I like your comment about the Church needing more humility and compassion rather than righteous true believers. Perhaps what is really needed is a blend of the two: more humility and compassion along with righteous true believers!

Thomas,

Hoping you are right and the pope is leading us there, hoping....and praying...

 

Thomas/Picadillo - and a great Amen to your sentiments and hopes also !

 

Anyway back to the thread, this nun is causing scandal...

 

I listened to this same sermon last night on audio sancto. I know this priest as he has preached at the Latin Mass I attend. He never fails to spend time before the image of Our Lady, a very holy priest. Great sermon

 

I hear he is on EWTN occasionally?

 

I'm not sure. I know his name but audio sancto does not publish names per request of the priests who do the sermons,..so I better not say

 

How can we think PJ23 is blessed and not thank God for Pope Francis? As a right-wing catholic I believe we have to love. Hard for me not to condemn, but did not Christ say that we have to love? I do not want to be a pharisee, "I came for sinners" is what my Lord and God said.
He shed his blood for ME.

 

I know scandal. I was involved in it for 15 years with Roman Catholic Faithful. We had NO friends. No bishops, cardinals, not even Pope JP2. Some priests, Frs Hardon, Kunz, Fiore, Martin, Dalby, and others I can only thank God for. Don't complain, have faith, trust, unless the pope changes the faith have trust. It is the Holy Spirit at work. God's ways are not man's ways. Victory is OURS! In time!

 

15 years on the frontline Pic,my hats off to you.

 

I use to have money. Six kids and my wife (faithful catholic) can't stand me. Going broke slowly, dry martyrdom as Fr Fiore used to call it. I'm all in! I have seen it all and this pope could end up being the holiest person since St Pio.

 

I hope, and do pray your right about that.

 

Sr. Teresa strikes again. The Spanish have recently tightened up their abortion laws and Sr. Teresa is (predictably) upset about this. She is now interested in 'queering the Church' and has stated that homosexual relations can be a 'sacrament of the Trinity'. She is only saying what many lay, religious priests and bishops believe but usually only hint at. I recommend that you read this very reliable link.

More interesting than her views is the silence of the Spanish Bishops. her Superiors and Rome. They were quick enough at shutting poor Padre Pio up.

Amazing.

 

Sr Teresa will be just fine in her beliefs.[after all , who are we to judge?]

To be condemned these days, you have to encourage devotion to Our Lady, pray the rosary ,say the latin Mass.....like say... Fr Gruner. or the FFI.

Serious trouble makers like these , Rome will sit up ,and take action!
