‘The Book of Questions’ – St. Birgitta of Sweden – Interrogation 10, Revelation 4, pages 17-21; ‘Christ beautifully praises every limb of the Virgin Mary his Mother’

[Saint Bridget of Sweden – XIV Century AD; Uppland, Sweden/Rome, Papal States; Patron Saint of Europe, Widow, Mystic, Spiritual Writer]
Revelation 4 ~ The fourth revelation in the Book of Questions, in which Christ beautifully praises every limb of the Virgin Mary his Mother, giving them a spiritual and allegorical meaning by comparing them to virtues; he also declares the Virgin to be most worthy of a queenly crown.
The Son speaks: ”I am crowned king in my divinity without beginning and without end.
A crown has neither beginning nor end; thus it is a symbol of my power, which had no beginning and will have no end. I had another crown, too, in my keeping: I myself, God, am that crown. It was prepared for the person who had the greatest love for me. And you, my most sweet Mother, won this crown and drew it to yourself through righteousness and love. The angels and other saints bear witness that your love for me was more ardent and your chastity more pure than that of any other, and that …More

"Second question. ”How does your divinity encompass all things in itself yet is encompassed by none, and contains all things yet is contained by none?”
Answer to the second question. ”As to how my divinity can encompass all things in itself, I answer: I, God, am spirit. I speak, and it is done. I command, and all obey me. I am truly he who gives being and life to all, who, before making the sky and the mountains and the earth, exist in myself, who am above and beyond all things, who am within all things, and all things are in me, and without me there is nothing. And since my Spirit blows where and when it will, and can do all things, and knows all things, and is swifter and more agile than all other spirits, possessing every power and seeing beforehand all things present, past, and future, accordingly, my Spirit, that is my divinity, is rightly incomprehensible, yet comprehends all things.”

True, He doesn’t hear those who destroy for the sake of destruction, He never heard the ayatollahs for 46 years waging war against their own people and anyone else, but that is not what the false prophet is implying, no...

Anthony Stine: He (Prevost) did not rule out gay blessings. he ruled out FORMALIZED gay blessings. The Germans want (and will still push) a formalized ritual published in a ritual book.

Prevost once again legitimizes Bergoglio's homosexual pamphlet, *Fiducia Supplicans*, which promotes the sacrilegious blessing of the sin of sodomy

The entirety of the pro-homosexual pamphlet *Fiducia Supplicans*—which permits sacrilegious blessings of unrepentant homosexual concubines—is heretical, sacrilegious, and diabolical, just as Cardinal Müller warned.
To insinuate or affirm that God can bless two unrepentant homosexual concubines who cohabit and practice sodomy is a diabolical blasphemy.

German troubles

German Church defiantly moves ever closer to schism. After Pope's statement: Dioceses and laypeople defend blessing ceremonies.

Confusion with marriage is ruled out
On his return flight from his trip to Africa, the Pope rejected formal blessing ceremonies for same-sex couples. In Germany, Catholics are now wondering what the statements actually mean.
Following the recent statements by Pope Leo XIV, the Central Committee of German Catholics (ZdK) is defending blessing ceremonies for couples who are not married in the Church. There is no reason to retract a corresponding directive, said ZdK President Irme Stetter-Karp on Friday in response to an inquiry from the Catholic News Agency (KNA) in Berlin.
The document, titled "Blessing Gives Strength to Love," merely recommends "allowing blessing ceremonies for couples who do not wish to enter into a sacramental marriage or for whom such a marriage is not available," Stetter-Karp emphasized. "Nothing more and nothing less. Any confusion with the sacrament of marriage is out of the question."
Pope Leo does not approve of blessing ceremonies

It appears that Leo is between a rock and a hard spot. If he maintains strict actions with the Germans, he soon will have a mutiny to deal with.
However, this anti-blessing Papal talk, especially from a Pope who only promotes rump rangers to Cardinals and Bishops, doesn't make sense at all.
It' like deep inside Leo approves this, along with female Clergy, but to say it out loud would put his head on the chopping block.
My advice for Leo is to create a parallel Catholic Church, in which anything modern will be accepted and embraced, including the Amazonian Rite.
Let the Black Pope run that show ( Arturo Sosa )
The rest of the Church would adhere to the strict Apostolic Practices with a Particular Cardinal in charge. Leo thus would be King over both organizations, everyone would be happy, Rejoice.

Bishop Bätzing Stands by Homosex "Blessing Ceremonies"

Bishop Georg Bätzing of Limburg, Germany, told KNA that his diocese continues to offer "blessings" for homosexual couples: "Pastoral workers are encouraged to responsibly respond to this desire and organize blessing ceremonies with the couples."
As he put it: "Even though there are differing views on this within the global church, I see this practice in the diocese of Limburg as being within a responsible framework."
Those blessings "serve people and do not endanger the unity of the Church," said Bishop Bätzing.
Until a few weeks ago, he served as chairman of the German Bishops’ Conference.

Old Age: Decrepitude or Glory? Saint Mary Euphrasia Pelletier

Ambiences, Customs and Civilizations
Catolicismo, Campos (Rio de Janeiro), no. 23 – November 1952
by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira
How the modern world, caught up in sensuality, deceives itself when it sees only decadence in aging. When one knows how to esteem the spirit more highly than the body, growing old is to grow into what is most noble, the soul.
Although aging does entail bodily decadence, this is only the material element in the human person. The body may indeed lose its beauty and its vigor, but it may enrich itself with the translucence of a soul that knew how to develop and grow along the course of life. This translucence constitutes the highest beauty the human face may acquire.

la verdad prevalece

Prevost promotes the falsification of Jesus and the Virgin—depicting them not as Jews, but as Black—in Equatorial Guinea.

Mocking the biblical Jesus Christ, the Marxist apostate Robert Prevost recited the *Regina Caeli* before an image of a black woman with a black baby on her back.
Prevost celebrated a Marxist, inculturated "Mass" at the Malabo Stadium, before an image of a Black "Virgin" and a Black, Marxist "Baby Jesus." Equatorial Guinea.
The Marxist Prevost—while promoting a false Black Christ—has the cynicism to proclaim himself the successor of Peter.
Note that Prevost also failed to denounce the Islamization through which the impostor Muhammad de-Christianized Africa—and, by means of the sword, compelled many to apostatize and worship the false god Allah.

It is also necessary to clarify that there is no apparition in Africa depicting a Black woman carrying the Baby Jesus on her back. Yet, it turns out that modernist heretics now take the liberty of fabricating statues with Marxist messages at their whim.

💥💥💥 SHOCK: Dr. Chris Shoemaker.
The chromosomal karyotype of people "vaccinated" against COVID has been genetically and permanently altered: "One-third of the weight of every injection you received was deoxyribonucleic acid, which has the capacity to pass through the nucleus of your cell. And once inside, something called transfection occurs. It has nothing to do with an infection. Transfection simply means absorption into the very part of the body that contains your genetic karyotype—your chromosomes"...
"Thus, these tiny fragments of DNA settle alongside the chromosomes; they are processed by certain enzymes, and the body naturally begins to integrate them into itself. And that is what they discovered"...

Christian pastor is arrested for 'criticising Islam' while preaching in Watford town centre - as police officer tells him 'in the name of Jesus, get in the car' A video of a 66‑year‑old Christian pastor, Steve Maile, being arrested in Watford town centre has gone viral. He was preaching, singing hymns and pop songs adapted to a Christian message. Pastor Maile, a grandfather with no criminal record, was arrested after briefly criticising Islam and LGBT lifestyles while preaching, something he says he has done peacefully for decades. Footage shows multiple police officers converging on him within seconds, placing him in handcuffs in full view of the public and his family. The arresting officer arguably mocks the Christian faith by saying to him before putting him in the police car: 'In Jesus name get in the car.'
