you just hit on the big picture. Now the Church can't be trusted. Sad Sad Sad You have a point...but we still must follow the magisterium. This nonsense is going to cause such confusion... the Holy Father needs to start thinking of the big picture. If he continues to be silent and hide the truth...the church is in big trouble.
I think it'll be up to each cardinal, bishop, religious, priest, and laity member to follow Christ in their own capacity, no matter what comes out of Rome. I don't know if this is stupid or wise, but I don't keep up on the news from Rome *much*. I just know that the Reformation was a mess, and that while ancient and beautiful, Orthodoxy is not the Church founded by Christ, either. Squabbles over autocephalacy and dominion show that these are national, ethnic churches, loosely associated but not truly united. That leaves only the Catholic Church. Which everyone seems love rejecting, mocking, leaving, criticizing, and objecting to. It's weird and surreal, but the errors of Protestantism are being aired in bulletins and by the Pope. They know the Truth, they just reject it and call it "rigid". I guess, just keep going. Rome will get worse and worse. But it won't last forever.
Well said Gracia. The Blessed Mother is our sure guide now. Her warnings from Akita and LaSalette are unfolding before our eyes.
Thank you, peace. Matthew 23:2 Woes to Scribes and Pharisees 1Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to His disciples: 2“The scribes and Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. 3So practice and observe everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach.…
Yes. Things are definitely heating up. Even Protestant Bibles are oozing oil. Really, really interesting. I think this is a wake up call for all sincere, detached followers of Christ that something difficult is around the bend. Keep awake, focus on Christ, not this world, get your priorities sorted out, repent, and have your lamps burning.
With all that is going on in the Church at the moment, I'm just wondering if anyone thinks Maria Divine Mercy may be valid?
Absolutely not. The evil one gives doses of truth mixed in with lies. Her whole modus operandi seemed illicit. Doesn’t matter if you don’t like the Bishop, he has still been given absolute authority to decide over such matters. It’s condemned.
No and it has nothing to do with the "Church's" ruling, it's a long history of failed predictions. A LIST OF FAILED PROPHECIES ! Tuesday, May 31st, 2011 @ 15:30 ( failed Warning prediction ) My dearly beloved daughter, we have come a long way in such a short time. That was for a reason. For it was all the time needed to impart My Most Holy Word in a world starving of My Love. Still they do not listen, because they do not want to know. While many of My loyal followers are alert now, to the changes coming, so many have no interest whatsoever in the warnings given to the world by My beloved Mother up to now. The prophecies given at Garabandal will now become a reality. Prepare now for this event, for you have only a few months left to prepare your souls. http://www.thewarningsecondcoming.com/prophecy-at-garabandal-will-now-become-a-reality/ Message 17th Feb 2011: “There will be three world leaders assassinated shortly one by one…Two of them from the Arab world and one from mainland Europe.” Message 4th April 2011: “The Chastisement will now befall on the world.” Message 16th April 2011: “But be assured the time [for the Warning] is now upon the world.” Message 20th July 2011: “You are now, My children, in the middle of what is called the Tribulation…The second part, the Great Tribulation will commence as I have said before the end of 2012.” Message 9th Aug 2011: “This My daughter [the further turmoil which will erupt before the Warning], has been foretold as just one of the signs that mankind will experience during 2011 the year of the Purification Message 28th Aug 2011: “Time is short now as the Warning is almost upon Interim report!

I will make myself known in Sacred sites, which will include Lourdes, Fatima, La Salette and Guadalupe. I will also appear at Garabandal. These apparitions will begin this Spring, just as my Son has instructed. After speaking to Conchita personally and the information we already have from Garabandal….MARY WILL NOT APPEAR AGAIN IN GARABANDAL ! NOVEMBER 13,1965 Mary speaking to Conchita: She said to me, “ This is the last time you will see me here, but I will always be with you, and with all My children”. “Garabandal“ -p.201
