Yep, Cupich was smart enough to keep his sheep costume on until the right time. Now he boldly proclaims lies. AND GETS PROMOTED!!!
This comes from page 34 of The Pieta Prayer Book Criticism Of Priests Our Lord's revelations to Mutter Vogel: "One should NEVER attack a priest, even when he's in error. Rather, one should pray and do penance that I'll grant him My grace again. He alone fully represents Me, even when he doesn't live after My example!" (page 29, Mutter Vogel's Worldwide Love, St. Grignion Publishing House, Altoting, South Germany, June 29, 1929) "When a priest falls, we should extend him a helping hand THROUGH PRAYER AND NOT THROUGH ATTACKS! I Myself will be his judge, NO ONE BUT I! Whoever voices judgment over a priest has voiced it over Me; child, never let a priest be attacked; take up his defense." (Feast of Christ the King, 1937)
Soooooo...lets go extreme here and say a priest rapes a child. Don't call the police (attack?)? Just pray for him instead? If you CATCH a priest physically hurting someone, don't tackle him down? Just pray instead?
I'm all for prayer and respect for Priests, but keeping silent about their sins brought harm to a lot of children. Btw, the above "revelation" was private and not approved by the Church.
Canon Law also has something to say: "Christ's faithful are at liberty to make known their needs, especially their spiritual needs, and their wishes to the Pastors of the Church. [Lay persons] have the right, indeed at times the duty, in keeping with their knowledge, competence and position, to manifest to the sacred Pastors their views on matters which concern the good of the Church. They have the right also to make their views known to others of Christ's faithful, but in doing so they must always respect the integrity of faith and morals, show due reverence to the Pastors and take into account both the common good and the dignity of individuals. --Canon 212
One thing that bothers me about all of this... is that there is always this desire to reform the church. As if somehow we can reform ourselves into something the world will accept. Until we reform the Church to something where we follow our feelings and urges, and treat it as if it were holy and righteous, the church will never be accepted. I would like to see the Church reform back to Faith. Where the Blessed Sacrament took presedence over Social Justice and the ideas of men. When the Blessed Sacrament was the centre of the Church, Religious Vocations were on the Rise, and Church grew like never before. Too many hippies with "better" ideas entered the Church.
Read the prophesies of Our Lady of Good Success.It says it all 'P Priests will become careless in their sacred duties. lacking the divine compass ,they will stray from the road traced by God....How the church will suffer during this dark night! Lacking a related and father to guide them...many priests will lose their spirit, placing their souls in great danger. The poor priestly souls left to uphold the church will suffer greatly' We are in these times and Our Lady spells it out. Priests are lacking a father to guide them, but she also says 'clamor insistently for an end to these ominous times sending the church a prelate and father who would restore the spirit of priest's. Could she be any clearer?
So instead of becoming depressed lets take up the challenge and pray for an end to this time and for the church to get the father and prelate it needs to restore everything.
Where in this statement specifically are you pointing out AB Cupich's sins? "Yep, Cupich was smart enough to keep his sheep costume on until the right time. Now he boldly proclaims lies. AND GETS PROMOTED!!! " Sheep costume? Lies? These are accusations, not sins. Don't get me wrong, I don't think he's the right choice for the job based on his liberal stances, but talking crap about someone, just to talk crap is not right. It's like calling someone evil or a heretic but not backing it up. If you have something specific to say that he's done wrong, well, that something worth discussing. But, in the end, he must be prayed for.
Padraig, it should be obvious where posts such as the one above and those sent at the same time, are coming from. And they are certainly not coming from the Holy Spirit. I don't know how long I can remain active on this forum. I remain simply because there are still a lot of good people still posting.
And having just seen the continuing poison being posted by BrianK on the other thread I realise I have to leave the forum. But I think it is these posts about Archbishop Cupich that have broken the camel's back so to speak. They are simply sinful.
It is the simple truth . Satanic monsters like Cupich are on the road to hell and are going to drag faithful , unsuspecting Catholics to prison and to death. They are the spawn of Satan: http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/n...-allow-lgbt-couples-94915/?platform=hootsuite
Jesus was very, very frank in His descriptions of the Pharisees and Saducees; these new Judas's dressed up as Cardinals and Bishops are a million times wosre than they were. Servants of Hells. Heretics. Blasphemers. Seducers of the Faithful. Angels of the False Light. Serpents of Apostasy. Betrayers of the Gospel.
I feel like picking up my dog and throwing it at the computer screen. Blah. A pity Cupich was not here so I could punch him on the nose as St Nicholas did to a simliar devil. Scumbag. Agent of hell. Where's that dog till I get throwing it? https://www.stpeterslist.com/11939/when-santa-punched-a-heretic-in-the-face-13-memes-on-st-nicholas/
