Folha de S. Paulo, August 24, 1978 Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira October 23, 1978: the historic embrace between Pope John Paul II and his great friend Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński, Archbishop of Warsaw and Primate of Poland At the first preparatory meeting of the conclave, Cardinal Wyszynski, Archbishop of Warsaw, reported that 300,000 Poles — including 7,500 university students — planned to walk in a pilgrimage to the famous shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa to pray to the cardinals for divine guidance, so the Church might select a new pope suited to the difficult conditions of the time. A loud round of applause from the other cardinals celebrated Most Rev. Wyszynski’s words. There were many reasons for this.

[Saint Jerome – IV-V Century AD; born: Stridon, Roman Empire/died: Bethlehem, Palaestina Prima; Translation of the Bible into Latin – Vulgate; Doctor of the Church] 16. Now here we have the explanation of what I am endeavouring to show, how it is that the sons of Mary, the sister of our Lord's mother, who though not formerly believers afterwards did believe, can be called brethren of the Lord. Possibly the case might be that one of the brethren believed immediately while the others did not believe until long after, and that one Mary was the mother of James and Joses, namely, Mary of Clopas, who is the same as the wife of Alphæus, the other, the mother of James the Less. In any case, if she (the latter) had been the Lord's mother S. John would have allowed her the title, as everywhere else, and would not by calling her the mother of other sons have given a wrong impression. But at this stage I do not wish to argue for or against the supposition that Mary the wife of Clopas and Mary the …More

New crusade of the Vatican - the doctrine of lies: “Let us not retreat into our own convictions and religious certainties. This may ask us to follow unfamiliar paths and to make choices different from those we had imagined”. 1) Matthew 24:24; They will deceive, if posible, even the choosen. 2) There is no salvation in anyone else: a) John 14: 6; Jesus said to him, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. b) Acts 4:12; There is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” c) 1 Timothy 2:5; There is one God and one Mediator between God and mankind, Christ Jesus. 3) Hebrews 10:28-29; If anyone violates the Law of Moses, he is put to death without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. How much more severe a punishment do you think will be deserved by the one who has trampled underfoot the Son of God, treated as profane the Blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and insulted the Spirit of Grace? 4) Galatians …More

Jak o wiele surowszej kary, jak sądzicie, zasłuży ten, kto zdeptał Syna Bożego, uznał za bezczelną Krew Przymierza, która go uświęciła, i znieważył Ducha Łaski? 4) List do Galatów 1:8; Ale nawet gdybyśmy my sami lub anioł z nieba głosił ewangelię inną niż ta, którą wam głosiliśmy, niech będzie przeklęty! (Anatema). a) Ewangelia według św. Jana 10:10; Złodziej …More
For over a thousand years the Church had ember and rogation days. Then Vatican II abolished this traditional custom, where fasting and prayers for all of God's creation was performed. There were also processions and blessings of fields and crops.
