    It should also be considered that perhaps high ranking Church officials are subject to diabolical influence which may drastically reduce their culpability. Satan is extremely sly, intelligent and devious and can operate in ways that are barely discernible. He must especially target priests, bishops, Cardinals and popes as that way more and greater and more widespread damage can be caused. We should be careful to consider all possibilities and not be too quick to ascribe bad intent or motives to individuals. Satan and his demons can and do target intellect, understanding, perception etc. None of us is immune from these attacks and attempted attacks. Hence the importance of praying for priests, bishops, Cardinals and the pope. I am not saying all are innocent. Not at all. Simply that we must be careful. We can identify concerns and defend Church teaching by all means but it is possible to do so charitably. Often more flies are caught by the sweetness of honey rather than by the gall of vinegar. We can explain and defend the perennial teaching of the Church and point out Why such is the teaching and why it is true rather than to attack individuals.

    Anywhere there is division and acrimony is the presence of the diabolic. Satan’s hallmark is division. He is like a fisherman with rod and baited line. We may speak and act thinking and intending the good but suit his purposes anyway by increasing division and suspicion. Be vigilant and test the spirits that underlie things. Satan is extremely happy when we tear each other apart. He doesn’t particularly care why or how we do it just so long as we are at each other’s throats.

    I don't believe that Satan has been given the power to robotise us. None of the people who are doing these evil things (including let's face it the Holy Father) are Satan's Robots or puppets. We all have Free Will, we all have choice. It is true that Satan can Darken the eye of the mind and heart if we go down roads that permit him to do so.

    If we live in a world of Satanic Robots or puppets what is the purpose of meaning of existence? Where is hope? These people know exactly what they are doing and know why they are doing it.

    Judas is a good example of this road. He stole from the common fund and at the Last Supper we hear, 'Satan entered into him'. But Satan could never have entered into him if he had not by his behaviour down the years opened the door of his heart to him and invited him in.

    We all of us have this choice. TO invite Satan in or not to invite him in. TO choose to do good or to choose to do ill.

    We none of us are robots, except by our own choices. If we choose to be Satan's slave ; we will be Satan's slave. Many, many in the very highest authority in our Church have chosen Satan.

    PART THREE
    LIFE IN CHRIST


    SECTION ONE
    MAN'S VOCATION LIFE IN THE SPIRIT


    CHAPTER ONE
    THE DIGNITY OF THE HUMAN PERSON

    ARTICLE 3
    MAN'S FREEDOM


    1730 God created man a rational being, conferring on him the dignity of a person who can initiate and control his own actions. "God willed that man should be 'left in the hand of his own counsel,' so that he might of his own accord seek his Creator and freely attain his full and blessed perfection by cleaving to him."26



    Man is rational and therefore like God; he is created with free will and is master over his acts.27
    I. FREEDOM AND RESPONSIBILITY

    1731 Freedom is the power, rooted in reason and will, to act or not to act, to do this or that, and so to perform deliberate actions on one's own responsibility. By free will one shapes one's own life. Human freedom is a force for growth and maturity in truth and goodness; it attains its perfection when directed toward God, our beatitude.

    1732 As long as freedom has not bound itself definitively to its ultimate good which is God, there is the possibility of choosing between good and evil, and thus of growing in perfection or of failing and sinning. This freedom characterizes properly human acts. It is the basis of praise or blame, merit or reproach.

    1733 The more one does what is good, the freer one becomes. There is no true freedom except in the service of what is good and just. The choice to disobey and do evil is an abuse of freedom and leads to "the slavery of sin."28

    1734 Freedom makes man responsible for his acts to the extent that they are voluntary. Progress in virtue, knowledge of the good, and ascesis enhance the mastery of the will over its acts.

    1735 Imputability and responsibility for an action can be diminished or even nullified by ignorance, inadvertence, duress, fear, habit, inordinate attachments, and other psychological or social factors.

    1736 Every act directly willed is imputable to its author:

    Thus the Lord asked Eve after the sin in the garden: "What is this that you have done?"29 He asked Cain the same question.30 The prophet Nathan questioned David in the same way after he committed adultery with the wife of Uriah and had him murdered.31

    An action can be indirectly voluntary when it results from negligence regarding something one should have known or done: for example, an accident arising from ignorance of traffic laws.

    I think that David Healy was offering some good advice to help us keep a level head and he was also wise to state that not all are innocent. Padraig is correct also, we all have free will with which we should fight evil as best that we can.

    Things probably will get worse so I think that it may be best in some respects to find a "safe place" to let off some steam from time to time, we are only human. I find discussing some of these things in a private conversation to be helpful. I can air out some of my thoughts a little easier in these conversations without the thought of creating a whole lot of distress, just a little distress amongst a smaller group. I am very thankful for this, for them, I think you know who you are.

    In addition, I believe the that fact that we are in uncharted territory creates a lot of emotions. I have and will continue to read what the experts are saying and remain as patient as possible, lean on those whom I am thankful for and I hope that I answer God's call when I hear him.

    Carol, Thank you for your kind words. I try to not commit too much in terms of pointing the finger or passing judgement on people in terms of what ails the Church at the minute. That’s all. Primarily because I recognise the limitations I am subject to in terms of my information and knowledge. I am merely a simple lay man. Of course like most of us on MoG certain developments and goings on in the Church cause me distress and alarm from time to time. We are in a real crisis. Undoubtedly. We are in the midst of a grave chastisement, largely of our own making or more accurately, the making of those with real power in the Church over many decades, with help from enemies of Christ within and outside the Church. Things will likely get a whole lot worse in the Church and the world before they get better. This has all been prophesied as you know. I don’t want to defend the indefensible but just sound a little note of caution as none of us really know the interior of another. We may look at and judge their actions and words but only God knows the heart.

    David,
    Your welcome. These are absolutely difficult times. We are smart to support each other as best we can until things get better and to continue praying for the clergy and the world.

    May God bless you.

    David, Cardinal Cocopalmiero said this recently:

    We say, everything is valid; nothing is valid. Maybe we have to reflect on this concept of validity or invalidity. The Second Vatican Council said there is a true communion [between Catholics and Protestants] even if it is not yet definitive or full. You see, they made a concept not so decisive, either all or nothing. There’s a communion that is already good, but some elements are missing. But, if you say some things are missing and that therefore there is nothing, you err. There are pieces missing, but there is already a communion, but it is not full communion. The same thing can be said, or something similar, of the validity or invalidity of ordination. I said let’s think about it. It’s a hypothesis. Maybe there is something, or maybe there’s nothing — a study, a reflection.

    What he fails to mention is that the missing "elements" are the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.

    Then there's his weird views on marriage and sexual morality: http://www.ncregister.com/daily-new...s-his-positions-on-catholics-in-irregular-uni

    What I see in this man favoured by the Pope is evidence of apostasy from the Catholic faith which far, far better people than any of us sacrificed their lives to pass on intact to the Cardinal and us. Pope Francis claims that the Holy Spirit wants it. If he is right and the Holy Spirit really wants this, then the Church has been following an unholy spirit prior to this papacy. How many souls should be sacrificed to this apostasy before someone like me can say what I believe: that the Cardinal and the Pope who leaves him in a position of authority have given their hearts over to an unholy spirit? Are we to pretend that God wants this for the sake of obedience to the Pope who is promoting this disobedience to the clear teaching of Jesus?

    It is a walk across a tightrope. We cannot judge the motives here any more than we can judge anyone's motives when they commit sin in a public way but we can judge the sin. We can say "to alter the words of Jesus and the 2000 year teaching of the Church from the apostles down to the present day is grave sin!!" But we leave the perpetrators to God's mercy and pray for them. We must especially pray for the Pope. God is testing the whole Church. I find it terrifying! I think of John the Baptist crying out "His winnowing fan is in His Hand." That is why I cling to the Blessed Mother. I cannot tell where to put the next step but she knows. And if my heart is breaking over these horrors one upon another what must she feel. We are all at the Foot of the Cross. God has placed us here for His own sovereign reasons. But it is a terrible chastisement if the soul.

    How true AED and well said.

    Prayer, fasting, and supplication for the souls of us who stray from our Lord's path should be our life at this moment.

    Our mother Mary is our intercessor , teacher and will be triumphant when the time is right. It is her mantle of love that I cling to. As she walked beside her son on Calvary and under the cross her suffering was and is incomprehensible. How she accepted the pain of her son and accepted the task of interceding and teaching each of us, suffering when we fall.

    Please Mary help us to accept the cross and to carry it as well as you do. Please pray for us, that we may be found worthy on the eyes of our Lord Jesus, your son.

  11. Speaking of "sterility".....perhaps the Church authorities might consider how "sterile" the teachings have been now for decades about the Spirit Who creates all things, allowing for more than the material world's concerns. Without the first then the latter "talk" is without foundational meaning to the soul.

    Why does it seem that with our Pope now it's usually extremes that pertain mostly to the material world that he thinks, in pointing them out alone, will scare people to "do the right thing". Is it just a numbers game always that will solve the real problems which point to the willful detachment from God? Those who "know" more and remain connected to the Spirit seem to be the ones discouraged for their faithfulness these days while those who need such lights for examples are fed only earthly reasons for doing the "right" thing!

    Remember this Christmas that it's "Peace to men of good will"....not "Peace on earth, good will to men"!

    Pope Francis Decries ‘Demographic Winter’ of Nations That Have ‘Chosen Sterility’

    In the ancient world, sterility was seen as a curse and fecundity as a blessing, Francis noted. And yet some countries today “have chosen the path of sterility and suffer from that grave disease that is a demographic winter.”

    December 17, 1936 was a day of the most intense suffering for St. Faustina. She offered that suffering for priests. On that very day, Jorge Bergoglio was born.
    Not a coincidence, IMHO.

    Yes, look at the accusations of child pornography which led to whisking away Msgr. Carlo Alberto Capella a diplomat assigned to the embassy in DC back to Rome. The police wanted to prosecute him. After this Canadian officials issued a warrant as well for this man relating to his time assigned there also.

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...-the-sex-abuse-crisis/?utm_term=.5c81f2cea543

    While Pope Francis did make some changes to the way these accusations are handled it has continued to be a problem. One which a lack of communication on the part of the Vatican leaves people to wonder if anything is actually being done.

    These crimes of pedophilia are not ones in which people go to a center and are recovered from their attraction to children after 6 weeks. It speaks to a larger problem inside the workings of the Church. It is very sad.

    Yes, it is an issue of huge concern Don. Not least because I think sins and crimes of this sort appear to me to be so very,very close to Satan. The ordinary person , if they have Faith or no Faith at all is filled with huge indignation , indeed rage at such abominable crimes. Sins which criy out to God for vengeance. The very least that could be done in such circumstances is that the individual concerned be reported and handed over to the Civil Powers for Judgement and Punishment.

    This is not being done.

    Instead time and time again they are granted Diplomatic immunity and refuge in the Vatican itself.

    Sigh.

    I can't write anymore about this. It would make a horse cry.

    But it also fills me with a deep, deep anger and a burning shame that such things are being done in my name. In your name too. In the name of Our Holy Mother Church.

    Deep, deep anger and burning shame. Fierce indignation.

    Yes, I agree padraig and I think that few people are aware of the implications of this connection or the practices of those who worship him and all that entails, or we would see an outcry which is deafening over these matters. I have often wondered if this is not what many will use to come against the Church and persecute Her and the Body. We all know and see how those outside the Church delight in its persecution and defamation.

    I think about your earlier quote often and it gives me refreshment to carry on each day, and as well about what Our Lady of Fatima had to say about the Holy Father having much to suffer.

    It is difficult, Don. I think men have a very special role to play in all of this. As I get older I see more and more how wonderfully different men are from women. Not only physically different but spiritually. I mean our souls are different , deep, deep down. I think when men come up against evil a certain button should be pressed and they should become soldiers combative, ready to go so to speak.

    ..and as we recognise this very real spiritual quality in ourselves we recognise it in other men. When this quality, this urge to defend not only ourselves but those we love, our family, our friends, our neighbours, our country, our Church our God does not surge up in other men in the face of evil, if they do not show signs of a kind of holy, righteous anger , deep, deep questions about these people come to us.

    There should be an anger , an indignation a certain fighting spirit. I do not recognise this masculine spirit in the Vatican at the moment. Far from it. A kind of spiritual emasculation a lack of , well for lack of a better way of putting it spiritual cojones. A lack of fire.

    These goings on are talked about here to very great effect.

    I would advise everyone to pray about and take these things to their heart in prayer. The first step to curing an evil is to expose it.

    This exposes it. Please watch this and pray over it, very,very, very good.
