All part of the Antichrist/Beast system developing. I wonder how long till this "free speech" in democratic countries is stomped out by the system? I give it two years at most. It is only a few within the faith that understand what this all means. Even good well meaning people with keen understanding from the world view cannot/will not understand what is going on with what this man is addressing. Most in the world do not understand that this reality, which is enslaving the free world, is in it essence antichrist. This video is the product of Saul Alinski tactics to attack and destroy the free world into pure communism.
Boy, where do they come up with this stuff? https://zenit.org/articles/ireland-...-nulty-for-launch-of-season-of-creation-2019/ “The poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind”[1] are those who suffer most because we fill our seas with plastic; because we pollute our air with toxins; because we eradicate indigenous populations in the name of so-called progress and development. The theme for this year’s Season of Creation is “The Web of Life”. The most vulnerable among us suffer most deeply as the web of life begins to unravel.
Hasten the day when Bishops are chosen by the Apostles' method of drawing lots. Then the Holy Spirit might have some influence.
The last number of referenda we have had in this country have had terrible consequences. The Marriage "Equality" referendum, the so called Childrens' "Rights" referendum and the abortion referendum. They have left a horrible, horrible stain on the country. The Children and Family Relationships Act 2015 has also given adoptive rights to same sex couples as far as I know, whereas unmarried fathers still have very little rights over their children. This is a disgrace.
There Is such ungodly speed to pull Ireland into the web of the NWO. Why? Unless their time is very short. That's the sense I get. Their time is running out.
Those three referenda were like some form of unholy trinity, and they say satanists and witches often do things in threes. It is almost as if a curse has been placed over the country.
What seems to be happening in this country is that people are so caught up in their passions and materialism that they are blind to what is happening. That is the point of the agenda of coarse.
It’s all evil and it is all escalating. I agree with you about evil factions putting the evil agenda in place. The rosary is the weapon. We may not always understand how God is working, but He is. This all must come to pass. I feel that it is too late to stop it. I could be wrong, but.....
I find that very many Irish people have transferred authority from the Church to the media. They believe everything they read in the papers or that is said on RTE. I spoke to two men last night who commenced to disparage Donald Trump simply on the basis of criticism by the Irish media of the crude tweets he puts out. I said I was an admirer of the man and that the Irish media were merely echoing an absurdly partisan US media and pointed out that these tweets were his only public means of fighting back. They rowed back at my stand, and one of them said he had an aunt in California who was a big Trump supporter. I can't fathom how he'd swallow the propaganda rather than believe his aunt. The level of thinking in this country is abominable. Perhaps it's the educational system which is almost entirely based on the regurgitation of memorised data. Whatever the reason, many of the Irish cannot think for themselves and like bovines follow the herd, always taking the path of least resistance. Those in public office that do take a moral stand, such as Mattie McGrath or the Healy-Reas suffer continuous disparagement in the media, which works quite effectively, as my Trump example demonstrates.
Sadly the majority of people I come across are incapable of thinking for themselves. They like to think of themselves as very independent liberals. They let the media operate as their brains. When challenged they can't come up with a properly reasoned out argument. I'm just back from Poland and I was so impressed by the faith evident in every aspect of polish life and all the young people who still attend church.
I see in , 'Spirit Daily', the strangest article . It suggests that Irish Exorcists are opposed to each other about the evils that are going on in the Church. Actually it only quotes from four exorcists. One supporting the evil and three opposing it. Actually I suspect the Father supporting the evil is the only Exorcist in the entire island doing so. https://spiritdailyblog.com/news/exorcists-take-different-sides-in-debate-over-pope-schism Exorcists Take Different Sides In Debate Over Pope, Schism November 15, 2019 by sd Our raucous times! Just look at the diametrically opposed views of exorcists — in the same nation (of Ireland). First, Father Pat Collins, Vincentian priest, exorcist and renowned Catholic charismatic, in a presentation to Catholic Charismatic Conference, Charleville, Ireland November 10, 2019 (Excerpt from Talk No. 4 – End Times) Speaking about darkness in the Church he listed (1) Abuse . (2) Bishops and priests in a particular area of the world in scandalous relationships with nuns. (3) Recent report citing gay activity by members of the Vatican. (4) Opposition to Pope Francis. On point No. 4 he warned: “Recently Pope Francis has said that the Church is in danger of a schism — that whole sections would just split off and the reason for this is that although there is a problem on the liberal side, the main problem is coming from conservative Catholics and that they are rejecting the legitimacy of Pope Francis’ election, it’s widespread on the internet and there are theologians saying this, that Benedict was, in a way pressured to step down, is their thesis and that therefore that renders the election of Pope Francis invalid so that he is not the real Pope and I saw recently that there’s a whole group now saying that priests should not mention his name when they are saying Mass, in the Eucharistic Prayer, that they should say Benedict our Pope and not Francis our Pope. A whole group of theologians and lay people have charged Francis with being a heretic and the cite one thing after another which, in their eyes, prove that he is not teaching what the Church has always taught and if you go on the social media and read what people, particularly the conservatives are saying about the Pope it is full of hate, envy, judgement and condemnation – it is coming from the dark side (applause) and I notice that a couple of weeks ago Francis gave a homily on calumny, this is spreading false reports about somebody else and he said those who do this are the agents of the devil. “Now the Charismatic Renewal tends to be very conservative and I have heard many things in the Charismatic Renewal, including from leaders, that trouble me greatly because they are on the Schismatic Side – So if you have ears to hear please listen to what the Spirit is saying to the Church – Francis is God’s anointed (applause), the charism of teaching Catholic faith and morals in a reliable and indeed in big situations infallibly has not deserted him, the problem lies with the people who don’t accept him and I beg you, examine your conscience because I hear it in prayer groups, I hear people talking and they don’t think I’m hearing…………………………” Now contrast that with four Irish exorcists have issued a joint statement asking Catholics worldwide to dedicate December 6 as a day of fasting, prayer and reparation, “for the purpose of driving out any diabolic influence within the Church that has been gained as a result of recent events.” Their statement in full: “In light of recent events regarding the Pachamama ritual in the Vatican Gardens, the subsequent procession of the idol into St. Peter’s, as well as placing the idols in St. Maria in Traspontina church, we are reminded of the words of St. Paul (1 Corinthians 10:20), ‘Do I say, that what is offered in sacrifice to idols, is anything? Or, that the idol is anything? But the things which the heathens sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God. And I would not that you should be made partakers with devils.’ “The Psalms (95:5) tell us that ‘all the gods of the Gentiles are devils: but the Lord made the heavens.’ These events bring home the reality that (Ephesians 6:12) ‘our wrestling is not against flesh and blood; but against principalities and powers, against the rulers of the world of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places.’ These events bring home the reality that we are in spiritual warfare and that warfare is happening within the Church, itself. “We are, therefore, encouraging all Catholics who recognize the evil of the events to join us in a day of prayer and penance on December 6th, for the purpose of driving out any diabolic influence within the Church that has been gained as a result of these recent events — along with any other events. “We are asking all of those who participate to do the following for this intention: 3.) to offer the prayers to the Sacred Heart, as seen below. Other recommended acts which we encourage others to do for this intention is make a Holy Hour in front of the Blessed Sacrament and attend Mass that day, offering the merits of the Mass for this intention. May the Divine Mercy rest upon all of us.” [Act of Consecration of the Human Race to the Sacred Heart of Jesus Most sweet Jesus, Redeemer of the human race, look down upon us humbly prostrate before Thy altar. We are Thine, and Thine we wish to be; but, to be more surely united with Thee, behold each one of us freely consecrates himself today to Thy Most Sacred Heart. Many indeed have never known Thee; many too, despising Thy precepts, have rejected Thee. Have mercy on them all, most merciful Jesus, and draw them to Thy Sacred Heart. Be Thou King, O Lord, not only of the faithful who have never forsaken Thee, but also of the prodigal children who have abandoned Thee; grant that they may quickly return to their Father’s house lest they die of wretchedness and hunger. Be Thou King of those who are deceived by erroneous opinions, or whom discord keeps aloof; call them back to the harbor of truth and unity of faith, so that soon there may be but one flock and one Shepherd. Be Thou King of all those who are still involved in the darkness of idolatry or of Islamism; refuse not to draw them all into the light and kingdom of God. Turn Thine eyes of mercy toward the children of that race, once Thy chosen people: of old they called down upon themselves the Blood of the Savior; may it now descend upon them a laver of redemption and of life. Grant, O Lord, to Thy Church assurance of freedom and immunity from harm; give peace and order to all nations, and make the earth resound from pole to pole with one cry: Praise to the Divine Heart that wrought our salvation; to It be glory and Honor forever. Amen. Act of Reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus O sweet Jesus, Whose overflowing charity for men is requited by so much forgetfulness, negligence and contempt, behold us prostrate before Thy altar eager to repair by a special act of homage the cruel indifference and injuries, to which Thy loving Heart is everywhere subject. Mindful alas! that we ourselves have had a share in such great indignities, which we now deplore from the depths of our hearts, we humbly ask Thy pardon and declare our readiness to atone by voluntary expiation not only for our own personal offenses, but also for the sins of those, who, straying far from the path of salvation, refuse in their obstinate infidelity to follow Thee, their Shepherd and Leader, or, renouncing the vows of their baptism, have cast off the sweet yoke of Thy Law. We are now resolved to expiate each and every deplorable outrage committed against Thee; we are determined to make amends for the manifold offenses against Christian modesty in unbecoming dress and behavior, for all the foul seductions laid to ensnare the feet of the innocent, for the frequent violations of Sundays and holidays, and the shocking blasphemies uttered against Thee and Thy Saints. We wish also to make amends for the insults to which Thy Vicar on earth and Thy priests are subjected, for the profanation, by conscious neglect or terrible acts of sacrilege, of the very Sacrament of Thy Divine Love; and lastly for the public crimes of nations who resist the rights and teaching authority of the Church which Thou hast founded. Would, O divine Jesus, we were able to wash away such abominations with our blood. We now offer, in reparation for these violations of Thy divine honor, the satisfaction Thou didst once make to Thy eternal Father on the cross and which Thou dost continue to renews daily on our altars; we offer it in union with the acts of atonement of Thy Virgin Mother and all the Saints and of the pious faithful on earth; and we sincerely promise to make recompense, as far as we can with the help of Thy grace, for all neglect of Thy great love and for the sins we and others have committed in the past. Henceforth we will live a life of unwavering faith, of purity of conduct, of perfect observance of the precepts of the gospel and especially that of charity. We promise to the best of our power to prevent other from offending Thee and to bring as many as possible to follow Thee. O loving Jesus, through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, our model in reparation, deign to receive the voluntary offering we make of this act of expiation; and by the crowning gift of perseverance keep us faithful unto death in our duty and the allegiance we owe to Thee, so that we may one day come to that happy home, where Thou with the Father and the Holy Ghost livest and reignest God, world without end. Amen.]
Glad you had an encouraging, though brief pilgrimage, maryrose. Did you visit any of St. John Paul II sites? O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee!
Mario A large part of our pilgrimage was following the footsteps of JP2. We visited Wadovwice(so)?, the hometown. It was very emotional to see where he was born and raised. The Basicilica is right beside his home and his mother had the window of the apartment opened right after he was born and she could hear the people praying evening devotions in the church. We also went to visit the shrine of Our Lady of Calvert where he went regularly to pray and where his father took him after his mother's death and told the young Karol that from now on Our Lady would be his mother. It was all a very beautiful and emotional pilgrimage.
What Father Collins doesn't seem to understand is that if a pope deviates from the historical Scriptural, Traditional and many-centuries-old Magisterial teachings of Christ's Self-appointed Church, it is himself and his followers he is removing from the faithful Church Militant and all the generations of the Church Triumphant. Since The Truth is, by definition, immutable, one cannot enter schism by staying where you are. By remaining in the one place, one is no different to all faithful Catholics who went before, right back to the Apostles. Schism is an active, not a passive phenomenon. In an apparent attempt to shut people up, he speaks of Pope Francis talking of calumny. As he pointed out, calumny refers to false reports. Is he therefore implying that all the reports, including video and photographs, of idolatry, including Pope Francis' own speaking of the 'Pachamama' are simply made up? Is one not to condemn scandal and is not the identification and definition of it part of the process? We are accused of 'hate, envy, judgement and condemnation'. This Father Collins has a very weak sense of irony. Apart from that, I have seen none of the above here, but rather a horrified, reluctant and heart-broken coming to terms with events and actions which we could no longer rationalise away as being well-intentioned or misinterpreted. To the 'conservative', as he labels us, the notion of going against a pope is like having a limb torn off, while for the progressives this was something easy for decades until the present incumbent arrived...now they have become uberpapalists overnight.
I'm disappointed in Fr Collins as I heard him speaking a few weeks ago and he spoke about the scandals in the church and our calling to pray. I can't understand how he is accusing those of us that are scandalised by the goings on in the Vatican of calumny. Of course most Catholics are blissfully unaware and maybe he is protecting their ignorance/ innocence
He accuses all who object to the papal scandals of calumny and asserts that we are the ones who are 'judgemental'. I hope your last sentence is correct. There are some who have been too quick to rush to judgement on the 'conservative' side and many of these have been crude and insulting in the process. They haven't done anyone any favours. Nevertheless, there are enormous numbers of highly respected, utterly dedicated Catholics who have expressed their reservations and discomfort in the most respectful and thoughtful manner and it is not very edifying for Father Collins to dismiss their objections in this callous way. Not to mention his arrogance in taking it upon himself the authority to make such judgements and to link them to something as critical as schism. I think the idea of schism has only been brought into play as a weaponised political ploy against the American bishops. He has lost that war hands down, by all appearances. If Pope Francis played the schism card to its ultimate, he would find himself uncomfortably isolated. Only McElroy and Cupich stood by him in the US bishops' conference, hardly a team to inspire the Catholic people. Most bishops and priests have kept their heads down, including the Americans, but when push came to shove, it was obvious where they stood and that obviously included many who were Francis appointees. I think this would be reflected in most of the rest of the Church. Maybe this quietism is the best tactic in the long run. By being given enough rope, the liberals with their recent antics may have done themselves irreversible damage. Only the lunatic fringe could possibly conceive of bowing to something as utterly repulsive as 'Pachamama'.
I think the Americans have done all the heavy lifting and they pay the Piper. Quitism is OK for us in Ireland as our financial contribution is small and many are still clinging on to the idea of the Pope being above reproach. The media here reports on nothing and that includes Catholic media. Thank God for the Americans. If the downward spiral continues and speeds up then all Catholics will have to make choices.
