On Saturday, four bishops prayed an Act of Reparation at the 'Catholic Identity Conference' in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. They were Athanasius Schneider (Kazakhstan), Marian Eleganti (Switzerland), Robert Mutsaerts (the Netherlands) and Joseph Strickland (USA). The prayer doesn't name a prelate. The text notices that the "Authorities" of the Holy See are complicit in the "abomination" of a homosexual march in St Peter's Basilica on 6 September.

Are you "Fomenting Rebellion & Disobedience" Against The Pastors of Holy Church? Mortal Sin.

And, He speaks that we are above the Angles: "...united with the purity of My Deity, and of this mass of their Adam nature raised above all the choirs of Angels..."
From Saint Catherine's of Siena 'Dialogue'; God the Father speaking: 'Oh, ugly soul, where hast thou left thy dignity ? Thou wast made sister to the angels, and now thou art become a brute beast.'
