I pray for his salvation with every Rosary. At the same time I pray for the rescue and restoration of Holy Mother Church.
I hope and pray that there will be a resolution soon. I agree that at times we are too hard on ourselves and others. Our passion for the faith may shine through each of us in different ways, but we have all been called to defend the Truth.
The 50th anniversary of the final apparition / message of the Blessed Mother in Akita. The final words of that message: "...If sins increase in number and gravity, there will be no longer pardon for them. With courage, speak to your superior... It is Bishop Ito, who directs your community. You have still something to ask? Today is the last time that I will speak to you in living voice. From now on you will obey the one sent to you and your superior... I alone am able still to save you from the calamities which approach." October 13th, 1973. Our Lady of Akita, pray for us
And my morning offering has been “for the good and holy intentions of our holy father” for years now.
These Vatican occupants are using a well defined tactic called weaponized ambiguity. It is purposeful. It is effective as we've seen over the last 10 years and as evidenced by the comments above.
Didn't we have this discussion before and several people responded that, yes indeed, popes can be evil?
That's what my husband called it and I posted it. He said it's used all the time with gun control rules and laws. Its the modus operandi of the Vatican.
And next, as we sink under the weight of a massive, massive influx of fighting age foreign males, this drivel... https://news.sky.com/story/pope-francis-says-europe-does-not-have-migrant-emergency-12967847
What I find truly truly amazing is how intelligent well informed people fail to see what the current pope is doing. They love the man and think he’s the greatest thing since sliced bread. Even on this forum.
Really off topic. Let us keep our eyes on the Lord. I really like classical music but hey you gotta love Johnny Cash. What an inspired rendition. He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat (Glory, glory Hallelujah) He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment seat (glory Hallelujah)) Oh, be swift, my soul to answer, oh, be jubilant, my feet His truth is marching on
Why are they doing this? This has recurrently perplexed me. I can only assume that (given they know) this tactic (as evidenced in Sweden) will destabilise a country / society; then that must be their goal. And, from there, control of that country / society will not only be easily obtained; but will in fact be called-for by the people themselves. Meanwhile all of the apparatus has been (is currently being) installed in preparation for this scenario. Will the people accept the end of cash so as to prevent their houses being ransacked? There'll be no more robberies in the street etc etc. With violence everywhere, and directed at the indigenous populations (because we are in the main peaceful) and 100s of thousands of fighting age males - with no women, or families, are not. In addition, they lack Christian values. Will then the people accept a chip in the right hand and/or forehead if safety of our kids is promised by monitoring and tracking all individuals? Will the people one day ask for the mark!!?!
