So, this letter sent to the cardinals was from a traditional priest...not Pope Leo or anyone high up in the Vatican. I wish that had been clarified from the beginning. I actually saw a post on FB that falsely claimed it was Pope Leo who sent the proposal.
Recall what Judas said to Jesus when Mary Magdalen wiped His feet with expensive ointments. 'This money could have been spent on helping the poor!' On the face of it this is a very good and inarguable argument. In fact Judas was stealing money and was grinding his teeth at missing a big chance to steal some more. On the other hand Mary saw the big picture the divinity of Christ and His eventual death. As Fulton Sheen said the devil when he tempts us is our advocate. He tempts us with good things. But then after we fall he is our prosecutor. We are being tempted with good things in order to lead us to much greater evils. As the Irish says it takes a long spoon to sup with the devil.
I wonder what the Catholic Trads , including Cardinal Burke will make of this with the hush and stay silent policies? They thought that if they stayed silent about the shennanigans he would give them what they wanted. All their hopes and boats are burning. No Latin Mass, no nothing. What now? Still stay silent about the grave evils and hope and hope and hope for maybe somehow something? The keep quiet and don't rock the boat thing doesn't seem to be getting any payback? Just constant kicks in the teeth.
Reminds me of the sirens who led ships to their wreck. From what I'm reading recently, it seems very plausible that Pope Roncalli deliberately chose to ignore Our Lady's warnings so that he could follow the directions of his ego and establish a new Council that would enable Man to provide his own salvation, without Christ's or His Mother's help. That's obviously worked out so well that they need to double-down, including their recent attempted downgrade of the status of the Co-Redemptrix and Mediator of All Graces. As for the Trads (with a capital 'T'), they're evidently happy with a few Masses in Latin and a few long episcopal trains and other fine vestments.
Wise and brave words from a very holy bishop. I pray his words are listened to very carefully https://cardinalnews.substack.com/p/cardinal-zen-denounces-bergoglian
https://johneighteenthirtyseven.substack.com/p/we-all-knew The above link is particularly damning…to the very top. The issue of sodomy in the Church continues to exceed our worst imaginings.
Yes. It is a scandal of gigantic proportions. I have no answers but to beg deep pardon for these horrors and offer what reparation I can and pray as hard as I can for the rescue and restoration of Holy Mother Church. This past week I made two hours of Adoration. During the first I " received" psalm 12. I was shocked by how relevant it is to our Church and our world. Later in the week I " received" psalm 94. Again i was shocked to see basically the same message. These men's souls are in such peril it should chill us to the bone. What a particularly evil and tenacious demon --I won't name it --this is. And the demons themselves despise those who practice this because they still retain enough angelic sensibility to hate it even as they tempt poor souls to fall into it.( this from the Church Fathers)
Interview with Mother Miriam warning about the dangers of silence in the Catholic Church, especially among Bishops who recognise the errors privately but don't speak out in public.
Well, apparently they are losing the grip of being able to hide it all. Following the general theme of everything being exposed, which is wonderful. I am so very much looking forward to a clean church. All of this while losing their globalist NGO funding at the same time. If we see a bunch of prelates suddenly stepping down we will know what is happening and about to happen.
Reading Antonino Socci's book on Fatima recently, it struck me that, with respect to the Third Secret vision that was released in 2000 featuring the death of many prelates and eventually the Pope, there is a worse death than bodily death... Monsignor Agostini is just another whistleblower that has been shafted. Who are they fooling? Unfortunately, an awful lot.
Hi, the author of this article is a former priest who married and has children. He has an agenda and it may not be in our best interest to read his work. I was looking through the comments of the article and someone posted a link to a Catholic profession of faith. I was curious to read it and found in the body of the document that the author of the profession of faith feels there had not been a legitimate pope since 1033 A.D. Not trying to nit pick, but be careful what you read.
You're not nitpicking at all. Thank you for the heads-up. I was under the impression that he was an active priest. That he is now a married man certainly weakens his authority. Nevertheless, he didn't make up what Monsignor Agostini said and many, if not all, of his references are verifiable in the public realm. For example, the link from Father Michael Briese leads to a shocking corroborative article in LifeSite News. Whatever this ex-priest's faults, they're greatly outweighed by the known decades-long history of abuse and cover-up, that is still continuing. Even a pope is known for giving sanctuary to at least one convicted vile abuser, but it's peremptory justice for those who blow the whistle. The author might have an agenda-maybe it is a good one? Even a less than wholesome agenda does not necessarily imply that he is lying. I don't think it is fair to judge the author on the basis of a link posted by a commenter. Anyway, even the most extreme sedevacantism pales in comparison with the takeover of the Church by one of the four sins that cries to Heaven for vengeance. But, it is well to know our sources. Another point: being laicised takes him out of the power of his superiors. It gives him the freedom to speak out. Those who cover up homosexual behaviour and abuse make a mockery of obedience. If this is what it takes to counter such mockery, so be it.
