The archbishop of Madrid, Carlos Osoro Sierra, appears to be a "consensus candidate" for the next conclave.
Don't know what he's like, which might itself be a commendation, but the cardinals that are tipped rarely get elected, in my memory. Sadly, I think Bergoglio was one of the exceptions.
A Pope wDill die in Spain in the near future, with all his household, many souls at the hands of New Islamists all dressed in black who will occupy half the sad country. A martyr, after fleeing Rome as Fatima said. A Marian Pope. The founder of the New Jihad will I believe come from North Africa. After that a new Requonquista of all of Europe. They will be dressed in Black from toe to toe, will kill many millions and will actually employ bows and arrows as Fatima indicated. Who knows why? Evil, by definition is insane. The SS during the Second World War had daggers. Who wears daggers? Mad.
I've long thought Soros was possessed. You can tell by the eyes, they are blank. It's as if there is no soul there. Of course everyone has a soul, but perhaps those who have sold theirs have that empty look. Three people with empty eyes who may be possessed are Soros, Hillary C, Nancy Pelosi. They no longer look really human. Nancy can talk all she likes about raiding ice cream late at night, but it is just a facade, made to look as if she is just like the rest of us. She is not. I always thought that Cardinal Wuerl was another 'dead eyed' one. I had no idea what he was like, I just went by his face. I re-read the prophecy of St Francis concerning the 'destroyer pope'. Can anyone show me why it can't apply to our time? There's a lot about the church splitting. The Lord willed us to live in these times. I do wonder why he put me here at this time. We have almost no ordinations in the UK. Our parishes will be amalgamated and it will mean a long drive to Mass. All exactly as Joseph Ratzinger predicted long ago. But it's hard to face the reality. The Catholic church is going through a dark night of the soul. Fr Goring made a tape telling us that he's going into the desert this summer. I was pleased to see that this echoes my own desire. I don't live alone and it's hard to create a desert for myself, but over the last couple of months I have been doing what I can. The desert fathers admitted it's harder to keep one's focus on God among people, but this is what I have to do. Back in the 1980s, when things looked bad then (modernism rampant), a friend and I used to say, it's God's church, he will sort it out because we can't. Well it's now worse since the lunatics have taken over the asylum. I am powerless but I can pray. Incidentally, i read a nice meme on Facebook, a saying of one of the fathers, that one praying person can bring protection to a whole family. Our loved ones are in danger of falling for the hellish zeitgeist. Here in the Uk it's very bad. People who openly criticise woke (including the Pride thing) can be, and have been, cancelled by their banks. Without a bank account, it's almost impossible to function in society. There is a move towards cashless society, which would mean that if a person were denied a bank account they would need to rely on charity for food and shelter. Satanic.
I believe the world Health organisation recently issued advice to men who are breast feeding their babies. We are dealing with Nut cases. In case you hadn't noticed.
I saw that. They basically said the milk produced by hormone-induced lactation is nutritionally inferior to female breast milk and is full of chemicals but that's OK because it's gender-identity-affirming and that's what matters. Pack of absolute demons.
Does this have anything to do with Ninrod, the prototype 001 of the antichrist? The book of Genesis portrays this insane man as a powerful hunter, and some of his icons portray him as a hunter carrying a bow and arrow. I think symbols acquire the spiritual value you attribute to them; see the case of the eye of the Masonic pyramid that was used in the past to represent God but was appropriated by secret societies.
Clare, Carmelite nuns and other orders of both male and female religious are communal. They adapt to living together.
This reminds me of Our Lady's warning at Medjugorje in which she said to repent and convert because when the sign comes and the secrets are made known it will be too late. It puzzled me but as time goes on I begin to see how that could be.
VATICAN CITY — Cardinal Gerhard Müller has confirmed the Vatican’s doctrinal office had a file containing theological concerns about Archbishop Victor Manuel Fernández, whom Pope Francis last week appointed to head that office. The file, also confirmed by a second senior Church source, dates to when Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio of Buenos Aires appointed then-Father Fernández rector of the Pontifical Catholic University of Argentina in 2009. In July 5 comments to the Register, Archbishop Fernández downplayed the file’s contents, saying the Vatican’s concerns related to “accusations” based on his writings “were not of great weight,” and that after an exchange of letters with Vatican officials in which he “clarified” his “true thinking, everything was resolved serenely.” On July 1, Pope Francis appointed Archbishop Fernández, a close papal adviser and purported drafter of some of the most contentious passages of Francis’ apostolic exhortation Amoris Laetitia, prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, a position he will take up in August, brought forward from a previously announced start date of mid-September. Cardinal Müller, who from 2012 to 2017 was prefect of the dicastery (formerly called the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith), told the Register on July 4 that the file had been drawn up sometime in the late 2000s by Archbishop Jean-Louis Bruguès, Secretary at the then-Congregation for Catholic Education, after Cardinal Bergoglio had proposed then-Father Fernández as rector of the university. The purpose of the file was to supply the CDF with enough information so it could either award or withhold a nihil obstat (nothing stands in the way) declaration — a requirement for any new rector to a Catholic university. “The CDF is always involved in giving the last word,” Cardinal Müller said. “The Congregation for Catholic Education must therefore ask for the nihil obstat from the CDF, in giving the official yes, so the Church can be absolutely sure there isn’t anything problematic with such an appointment.” Due to the contents of the file, the CDF, then headed by Cardinal William Levada, delayed issuing the nihil obstat until the concerns had been resolved. Father Fernández was therefore not able to take the oath of office until May 2011, two and half years after his unofficial appointment, due to the ongoing concerns raised in the file about some of his theological views. Cardinal Müller stressed to the Register that despite the existence of the file, it was possible that Father Fernández had sent the CDF a letter “pledging to do better,” adding that this is “always the tactic for these things, to destroy any doubts.” Archbishop Fernández appears to have taken that approach. He told the Register that after his appointment as rector in 2009, some articles he had written “arrived in Rome” and “from that moment on, an exchange of letters began in which I clarified my true thinking and everything was resolved serenely.” “It took more than a year at the Roman pace of work, but I want to make clear that the accusations were not of great weight,” he said. “For example, they questioned half a page I had written in a small newspaper in my city, in the interior of Argentina. There I explained that we priests could not bless gay unions because we had a certain conception of marriage. But nevertheless, we did not judge or condemn people.” “My accusers said that I had not sufficiently explained the Church’s understanding of marriage,” Archbishop Fernández continued. “Believe it or not, this took up several months of my time.” He added it was not deemed “necessary or appropriate” for him to publish a corrective article on the matter because he explained he was “not an expert on the subject.” In general, he said, “theologians try to write articles on subjects in which we have been able to specialize.” In a July 3 interview with Perfil, an Argentine radio station, Archbishop Fernández reflected on the experience, recalling that the DDF used to be the Holy Office of the Inquisition and saying it “even investigated me.” He said the process “was really very annoying” and that he “spent months on the nonsense” having to justify himself. Archbishop Fernández continues to weigh in on the controversial subject of blessing couples in homosexual relationships. He told the Spanish Catholic website Infovaticana July 5 that nothing can compare to “marriage” in the “strict sense” between a man and a woman, and that “the greatest care to be taken is to avoid rites or blessings that could feed that confusion.” But he added: “Now, if a blessing is given in such a way that it does not cause that confusion, it will have to be examined and verified. As you will see, there is a point where we leave a purely theological discussion and move on to a question that is more prudential and disciplinary.” continued
