Sg, Pease follow your well informed conscience. At my parish after our holy Catholic priest retired we were subjected to a priest who needed much prayer , he has since left the priesthood. I never followed his beliefs nor teachings, I knew better Praise God. If he had asked me to do an unethical thing I would not have done it and I would have felt vindicated in my opposition. He knew of my opposition to his leanings and teachings. At the time I wrote to our Bishop about this. Our Lady at Garabandal said.... "Many Cardinals, Many Bishops And Many Priests Are On The Road To Perdition And Taking Many Souls With Them." So we are individually called to not be in this number of those that follow the hierarchy into hell. But paradoxically we must obey our superiors. However, there is a difference between obeying our superiors verses following them into perdition! We are to use our God given sense of reason, our knowledge of moral law and our knowledge of true and authentic Catholic faith. If we are prayerful God we inform and lead us. God Bless, You will be alright God will not abandon those that truly seek His righteousness . Stay close to Our Lady and St Joseph. Do not worry or fear.
The point is, too, that Bishops have been given the charism to rule on private revelations. Wicked or not.
One of the best examples in modern times of lack of proper understanding of obedience to Ecclesial authority was the speech that John F Kennedy gave to Southern Baptist Pastors during his Election Campaign. He stated that he would not be under the religious authority of the Pope as President and this secured him the Presidency. In this he was the forerunner of Pelosi and Biden. As far as I recall he was advised by Jesuits in this. Kennedy bought the Presidency by selling out his Catholicism, as did Joe Biden. Obedience to the Church is at the very,very center of what it means to be a Catholic.
I’m in doctor office but I found the interview Can’t link, Google Alex Jones interview with Illuminati David Mayer Rothschild And it will be there Then you can link for me
It wasn't Alex Jones interviewing Rothschild. It was Alex Jones meeting a gentleman who was invited to Join the Illuminati by Rothschild. Alex Jones is very unsavoury really, I hate going through his stuff. But hopefully they have not deleted this
I see. I think I remember the video. It took place in London, or the UK somewhere, and some famous people were at the meeting. They acted like they already knew everything. I wish I could help you more there. I'm home now.
One of my childhood memories is of a nun, amidst all the excitement over Kennedy's election, shaking her head in disappointment over that. All she said was was something along the lines of "That's not right" and "We'll see". One of God's good and faithful servants, that nun has gone to her eternal reward now. May the Lord have mercy on JFK's soul and the souls of the priests who gave him bad advice.
Once we leave the main road and wander down the tempting shortcut it is harder and harder to retrace our steps and return again. There is often no going back. Perhaps we use the adjective, 'Catholic', too easily and too widely. Perhaps we should frame it with the question, 'What kind of Catholic?' Obedient? ..or disobedient? True Church? ..or False, make it up as we go alongm Church?
I'm just surprised that amid all the accusations about Phariseeism nobody takes a closer look at the accusers to see how many of them would have been bedfellows of the Sadducees. Jesus condemned the Pharisees for not practising what they preached but told the people to obey them. He told nobody to follow the Sadducees. Would some prominent clerics be today's version of the Sadducees? I suspect they would. Some Jesuits perhaps?
What conditions have I placed on Church teaching? The problem now is that wicked pastors who teach 'doctrines' contrary to what Christ taught, who in times past would have been excommunicated if they refuse to amend their ways, are allowed to carry on unhindered, and even promoted by PF. So how can we believe that such wolves still retain the charism to rule on matters of faith? As examples in recent news: 1. Pro-LGBT Fr. Martin, Fr. Massingale involved in pro-homosexual ‘Wonderfully Made’ film https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/p...olved-in-pro-homosexual-wonderfully-made-film 2. DC cardinal says he’ll give Communion to pro-abort Biden. Pope assigns him to life and family dicastery https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/d...pope-assigns-him-to-life-and-family-dicastery I wouldn't trust the priests/ cardinal named above to teach or rule in any matter of Faith, because they are blatantly opposing Christ in established Teaching of the Church. Father Orsi is right: Any bishop, cardinal who praises Biden as Catholic is ‘wolf in shepherd’s clothing’: priest Biden 'is not a devout Catholic,' said Father Michael Orsi. https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/a...catholic-is-wolf-in-shepherds-clothing-priest +
Josephite, thank you for your kind response. I am neither worried nor fearful, because thanks be to God, I know the true and authentic Catholic faith. I am also blessed to be able to go to an SSPX priory, where all the Sacraments are still available, and I get to assist at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass daily. But there are many souls who are being led into perdition by the 'wolves in shepherd's clothing'. The prophecies of Our Lady of Good Success are playing out now, in these terrible times. +
Yes, it is dreadful. But God is permitting it. I think that it is a test of our faith. Do we trust that God permits all things for our ultimate good? Do we trust the promise Jesus made that the gates of Hell will not prevail against His Church? I have great respect for Bishop Schneider, and he said that it is possible a future Pope will require that all clerics sign a declaration of faith. Some will refuse and go their own way. He didn't say that it would be the next Pope. I think that we could see a Pope Francis 11, 111 or even 1V before we get such a Pope. It will be when the Church and the papacy have outlived their usefulness in the eyes of the world's powers and Bishops more likely martyred than quoted in the press. We could even lose Vatican city although that's more likely to happen when we have a Pope unwilling to water down the faith to please the prevailing powers. Meanwhile, we have a duty to learn and practice the faith as best we can, praying for our priests and for secular leaders.
Our Lady in Quito has promised us "the Prelate who will restore the spirit of Her Priests" after the crisis She foretold in the second half of the twentieth century. If we go by St. Malachy's prophecies, we will have the Angelic Pontiff/Holy Pope soon. We should be careful of falling into erroneous opinions like sedevacantism. Sedevacantism that goes back to 1958 denies the Vatican I Dogma on St. Peter's Perpetual Successors. Since heretics cannot appoint Bishops or Cardinals to offices, it would follow that there is no Formal Apostolicity and no Ordinary Jurisdiction in the Church anymore, after the demise of the Bishops appointed by Pope Pius XII - which is heretical. The other simple consideration against it is that Universal Episcopal acceptance is a clear sign of a Popes valid election. This is very clear in the manuals. Robert Siscoe did an article on it for One Peter Five. So Pope Francis is indeed the Pope. Let us pray for him, and also for the Cardinal or Bishop whom God has already predestined to be Pope next.
I have never questioned this. Yes, I trust in Jesus. But like I've mentioned in another thread, the fact that Jesus had to say this simply means that the gates of Hell will indeed try very hard to prevail and it would almost appear to succeed. Our Lady will crush Satan's head. +
I don't know why the conversation has turned to sedevacantism. That was not in any of the posts in this thread. +
My personal belief is that Pope Benedict XVI and PF are the 2 men in white in the vision of the Third Secret of Fatima, and we won't have to wait too long to see the fulfilment of the secret. +
