I have a feeling you may well be right!! The title of the synod is very new Age, globalist, leftist, secular and 'worldly' in a horizontal sense. The Vatican is fast becoming an NGO for the New World Order. The smoke of satan reigns at the minute I am afraid to say -- anyone who has any discernment can see that darkness obscures the church in a diabolical disorientation. Who would eve believe the one holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church could even dream up such a modernist title? Reminds me of the Church of England in the 1970s! Titled “Amazonia: New Paths for the Church and for an Integral Ecology'.
If this is factual, it is somewhat interesting too in that it states that Pope Benedict does not have direct access to Pope Francis. https://gloria.tv/article/Kr8n6ADpDMzs3MrnLePRjuDTg *** https://gloria.tv/article/4e7WnR8zbQ61Epvmcqek1qrUH *** https://gloria.tv/article/3u2NFCnM3LgyD9phssVk2ySwa *** One of the books about Our Lady of Garabandal goes into some detail about the timing of synods and the Warning and the Miracle but I honestly find a lot of what is stated to be very confusing. For awhile now, I have been simply waiting for Conchita to make the announcement of the Miracle 8 days before along with keep watch as we are doing here and following the rest of the instructions of Our Lady as best as I can. I also am trying to stay open and ready for the announcement of the Miracle to happen any time during the months of April, May or June as Conchita has stated in the mid-1980's. Iow, I finally gave up guessing exactly when it will happen.
There is much to hope for if we have even one little girl like this sweetheart to carry on the faith. Edited to add...watch this till the end! https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10157174253751798
Pope Francis has let it be known that he is an admirer of Robert Hugh Benson's 'Lord of the World', but he seems to model himself on the slick, globalist Antichristic figure rather than the heroic Pope of the novel. In his folly, he might well precipitate a similar apocalypse, at least for the Church, as ended that tale. Sadly, it is hard to evade the conclusion that this is the theme he admires in the novel.
Yes, love it. Her little Easter outfit is perfect, too. Her eyes looked to me like Our Lady was impressing something on her. What a grace!
Thanks, Carol, for posting the pics of the newly ordained priests. Today was a big day for Mario. His son's ordination in St. John Lateran in Rome with Mario serving as Deacon. Another big day for them on Monday with his son's first Mass and Mario giving the homily. Such an honour for that family, and we're blessed to have Mario on the forum. May Our Lady wrap her mantle around them and may St. Michael continue to protect them.
Dolours, You're very welcome. I thought of Mario and his son's ordination when I saw those pictures also. We are blessed to have him as a member, absolutely!
I saw today an article in ZeroHedge, describing how modern social movement trends demonstrate that the most successful and educationally accomplished in the US are increasingly coming to live in the same elitist districts, depriving their former communities of their drive and expertise. This is leading to two disastrous side-effects, firstly a mind-darkening group-think among the elites, exposed as they are to only their own know-it-all opinions and secondly a loss of their dynamism and intellect to the communities they have abandoned. To my mind, it strikes me that this trend in the US is a microcosm of what is happening globally. Globalism is really a neo-colonialism in disguise, a much more wicked one than any before, with the perpetrators stripping the Third World of its best people instead of its material wealth. Whereas older forms of colonialism traded for its physical commodities some degree of economic compensation and much, mostly now-abandoned, administrative, institutional and cultural guidance, this post-modern version returns precisely nothing to the decimated countries. What effect, for example, is likely to emerge in Syria with the loss of millions of young men in their prime-does this help the future of Syria and the remainder of its people, regardless of whether or not they prove to be of benefit to the West (itself gravely doubtful)? I have come across reports and rumours of people in high places who consider that there are too many 'useless eaters' in the world, depriving them of a bigger share of the available global wealth. The globalists advocate an anti-human environmentalism which ultimately depicts Man as a destructive global parasite, they promote abortion, euthanasia and universal contraception, they encourage multiple barren lifestyles, they sponsor veganism which will mentally and physically weaken that portion of the populace brain-washed into adopting it and will probably tax the rest into having to also accept it to varying degrees, and it threatens utter cataclysm by increasingly advocating the rapid abandonment of fossil-fuel energy, a policy which will rip up the entire foundation of the world economy and culture. Many in the Church are tripping over themselves to sign up to this insane depravity.
DeGaulle you analyze with (imo) great clarity and truth. It is indeed neo colonialism. Absolutely. I havent seen this expressed anywhere before and yet it is profoundly true. The snobbery of the so called elite even while they parrot their social justice mantras is so obvious to anyone with eyes to see and ears to hear. Of course they want to "decrease the surplus population" (quote from Ebenezer Scrooge). Al Gore was saying this 10 years ago. I wanted to say to him "okay. You start. Who of your family goes first?" Luciferian to the core.
I suppose we in Ireland who know our history can appreciate what is happening because we were, in many ways, the guinea pigs for this phenomenon, which has been coming for a while. Due to the suppression and destruction of the more ancient Irish culture by the British oppressors, our history is largely one of our best and most able being driven abroad, while our own island languished in poverty and stagnation for centuries. Ultimately, the society and its people became so demoralised that its complete dependance on the potato, combined with an inter-generational fragmentation of the available land, led to the Famine of the 1840's, probably an intended outcome for some, it is hard not to suspect. Globalism is, for some of its advocates, a recipe for similar genocide, I also suspect. This is one of the reasons for the growing advocacy of madness and disconnection from reality. A population inflicted with such a neo-Gnosticism will be much more easy to kill off, as they can be persuaded to believe any kind of rationalisation.
DeGaulle, This is extremely well stated, thank you once again for your thoughts. I think that many of us realize that what is occurring appears to be part of a chastisement, iow, that the minor chastisement has begun already. This is how I feel.
If the vultures are gathering, and they are....then the faithful, the soldiers of Christ will meet them on the field. Happily, we know how the book ends...God wins
Yes, but before the Resurrection the Passion. If we die with Christ, we will live with Christ. This is why Mary has come down to Earth to stand beside the Cross as the Church dies and is reborn.
I pray we hear from Our Lady soon about the current crisis. To ready the troops! Get our marching orders......
That is a beautiful way to put it. Our Mother has come down to earth to stand beside the body of Christ on the Cross as the Church dies and is reborn.
Just a few years ago we were at the "Judas" betrayal moment. Right now I think we are at the point where they have taken Christ away and we are, as the early Church, running around confused wondering if this is the end and what will happen to us. Things are moving swiftly...
