Well one thing for sure we need God to intervene and bail us out at present like crazy. Humanly speaking we are lost.## But even after we get the Great Sign and the Illumination of Conscience. Consider Cardinals and Bishops of the False Church. Imagine some who is a homosexual cleric, living a totally depraved life and is deeply immersed in total heresies of every kind. We have , many, many clerics of this type in the Church at the moment, many of whom having been appointed by Pope Leo . For conversion they would have to do a totally 180 degree turn from total wickedness to a true Catholic path. This is a big, big ask. Catholic Prophesy indicates many will die at this time when they see to their horror what they really are in the Sight of God.. But I don't think it will be until the Three Days of Darkness that these wicked Prelates and Priests will be truly uprooted. So perhaps this is why Our Lady spoke at Akita of fire falling from heaven.
Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. 2 Peter 3v3
THE DEFINITION OF A RANT: I have blown a casket and feel like throwing up! I know solid Catholics who have same-sex attraction who lead chaste lives. This is like throwing mud in their faces because their good example is really "unnecessary". Lord, where do I go? What if individuals approach me concerning this question? I am speechless! Up to this point I've been upset because the Vatican has danced around the issue. Now it is a mockery of Sacred Tradition! What will truly seal this is if the current Vatican has the gull to "update" the Catechism once more! Lord, there is no where else to flee but to the arms of your Blessed Mother!...Help me never to speak untruth! Good grief, I got pushback for refusing the vaccine. What will happen the next time I recommend only a life of chastity. I can't believe the Church will officially cave in, but if one of my priest sons does, it will be the first time in my life that I "consider" suicide! (Really, I do trust them.) End of rant. O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee! Psalm 131: O Lord, my heart is not lifted up, my eyes are not raised too high; I do not occupy myself with things too great and too marvelous for me. 2 But I have calmed and quieted my soul, like a child quieted at its mother’s breast; like a child that is quieted is my soul. 3 O Israel, hope in the Lord from this time forth and for evermore.
The betrayal is shocking. They threw the Courage apostolate under the bus. Those synodal documents are not Catholic but Anglican gobblygook.
I am still reflecting on my above post one more time, thinking what I might say if Fr. James Martin would happen to chime in. I bring up Genesis 19. First the text in consideration and then the applicable footnote. 5 ...and [the crowd of men] called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us, that we may know them.” 6 Lot went out of the door to the men, shut the door after him, 7 and said, “I beg you, my brothers, do not act so wickedly...do nothing to these men, for they have come under the shelter of my roof.” 9 But they said, “Stand back!” And they said, “This fellow came to sojourn, and he would play the judge! Now we will deal worse with you than with them.” Then they pressed hard against the man Lot, and drew near to break the door. 10 But the men [the two angels] put forth their hands and brought Lot into the house to them, and shut the door. 11 And they struck with blindness the men who were at the door of the house, both small and great, so that they wearied themselves groping for the door. The footnote to Genesis 19:5 and following...the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible (RSV, Second Catholic Edition) comments on the sexual depravity of Sodom and the specific actions of its inhabitants. Note how in verse 11, the sinfully disposed who had been blinded by the Angels actually still try to force their way into the home.
I remember back when Pope Frankie started us down on this awful diabolical downward spiral and which smiling Pope Leo is accelerating. It felt like my head was going to explode / But just at that time a Trad group took over a local beautiful Protestant Church. I recall visiting it the first time and the tears ..of joy running down my face the first time I visited. It came at just the right time and not by accident just before Covid. God is so good. After all there years I have found a real peace about it all. I have kind of walked away from it all and handed it all over to Jesus whose Bride is Our Holy the Church. Now I understand the agenda and how these children of Satan their Father are leading us to Hell and that good Catholics know it I have found great peace. My heart still breaks but apart from prayer what can we all do? If we had a role which enabled us to battle; fine. But really for we ordinary Catholics what can we do but pray? May God and His Holy Mother have mercy on us all and rescue us from these ravening wolves.
There’s no need to criticize the Pope. I watched his interview where, in simple layman’s terms, he explained that the Church can grant an individual blessing, as it does at the end of Holy Mass, but that the Church’s teaching on gay marriage is very clear and that it does not support it... There are various people inside and outside the Church who push this topic and spread false rumors in order to gain support and put pressure on the Church and the Pope
