Gloria.TV News on the 12th of May.
No Answer? Yesterday Pope Francis met with 7000 Roman school children and answered their questions. One of them asked the Pope why also children must suffer. Francis replied: “This question is one of the most difficult ones.” Then he claimed: “There is no answer to this question.”
Success: 225.000 Catholics – among them four Cardinals and 22 bishops - signed a petition asking the Pope in view of the Synod on the Family not to change the doctrine on adultery and homosex pseudo-marriage. The organizers pointed out that this number is big compared to the little interest the Vatican questionnaire on the Synod has raised, for instance in Germany. Thousands of Germans signed the petition while the questionnaire received very little feedback in Germany. For instance, in Essen diocese which counts 850000 Catholics, only 14 common faithful gave an answer to it.
Luxury? The Catholic Syro Malabar Church in India has issued strict instructions to parish priests to ensure that – quote – “luxury” is avoided while building new churches. According to the New Indian Express the bishops are concerned over the tendency to build quote “mega churches” and embarrassed by the criticism over the remodeling of St George Forane Church, Edappally.
Bishops Against Bishop: The bishops from Ivory Coast publicly disavowed their confrere, archbishop Paul Simeon Ahouanan Djro of Bouaké, the second largest city of the country. The reason: Ahouanan was named the president of the national commission for reconciliation and indemnisation of the victims of war. However, the rest of the bishops stated that they have nothing to do with this appointment. They also refer to Canon 285 which forbids members of the clergy to take up a public office.

If the Pope consecrates Russia solemnly to the Immaculate Heart of Mary with all the Bishops in the world, Our Lady promises to establish a period of peace, alleviating the suffering of everyone, especially children. Only the Mother of God can help us with these explicit instructions given by her Son. Doesn't the Pope know this? It is in his hands to do what she commands.

But he did not heal all the sick. His healings were signs of the coming of the Kingdom of God.
They announced a more radical healing: the victory over sin and death through his Passover.
On the cross Christ took upon himself the whole weight of evil and took away the "sin of the world," of which illness is only a consequence.
By his passion and death on the cross Christ has given a new meaning to suffering: it can henceforth configure us to him and unite us with his redemptive Passion. "
CCC: " 1500 Illness and suffering have always been among the gravest problems confronted in human life.
In illness, man experiences his powerlessness, his limitations, and his finitude. Every illness can make us glimpse death. "
(There are more than 30 paragraphs in the CCC about suffering.)

It is NOT Pastoral, Merciful, or Charitable to condone, or confirm anyone in their Mortal Sins.
In fact by aiding and abetting others in their sins, we become participants.

CCC: " 1868 Sin is a personal act. Moreover, we have a responsibility for the sins committed by others when we cooperate in them:
- by participating directly and voluntarily in them;
- by ordering, advising, praising, or approving them;
- by not disclosing or not hindering them when we have an obligation to do so;
- by protecting evil-doers. "
High ranking Clergy must stop their SCANDALOUS behavior by condoning or promoting the mortal sins of Adultery, Homosexuality, and Receiving the Body and Blood of our Lord sacrilegiously.
This Scandal is a Mortal Sin.
CCC: " 2285 Scandal takes on a particular gravity by reason of the authority of those who cause it or the weakness of those who are scandalized.
It prompted our Lord to utter this curse: "Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened round his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea."
Scandal is grave when given by those who by nature or office are obliged to teach and educate others.
Jesus reproaches the scribes and Pharisees on this account: he likens them to wolves in sheep's clothing. "

The 'Synod on the Family' of 2015 will be a failure if they do not require all Seminaries and Orders of Nuns use the "Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition" (aka CCC; 1997) as a required student text.
The CCC contains the 'Doctrine of the Faith'.
In addition all Diocese must encourage the literate to read a Catholic Bible and the CCC at HOME through Diocese and Parish web sites, Parish bulletins, Catholic newspapers, from the Pulpit, and all other appropriate forms of communication.
If most Bishops (including the Germans) taught Catholics the Faith fully and completely - by having them read both the Bible and CCC at home, there would have been no need for a 2015 Synod on the Family.
People would know their Faith, without relativism. They would UNDERSTAND the "whys" of Church teaching on adultery and homosexual acts.
Priests can not teach accurately and fully - what they do not know accurately and fully.
