VATICAN CITY — Blessed John Paul II’s 2004 meeting with and praise of the founder of the Legionaries of Christ — who later was banished to a life of penance because of sexual abuse — was a mistake, said the late pope’s longtime secretary.
“The Holy Father should not have received that individual,” said Polish Cardinal Stanislaw Dziwisz of Krakow, who served as personal secretary to the pope for 39 years.
In a new book, “Ho Vissuto con un Santo,” (“I Lived with a Saint”), released in early November, Cardinal Dziwisz said the meeting was just one example of a serious lack of communication in the Roman Curia, which Pope John Paul tried, largely without success, to reform.

The Excuse Machine is well oiled andI functioning well. It is true that JPII was not informed about Maciel. And who was it who didn't inform him? His own man, Cardinal Sodano, who was named because JPII wanted a Sec of State who was occupied with international politics and had little interest in the internal affairs of the Church.
If I heard it once, I head it 100 times, JPII's words: Evil will destroy itself. Well, with Maciel evil did destroy itself, but it took some good people with it.

This is what Christ have to suffer, this is just the beginning of the end... as next year the abomination of desolation found in the book of Daniel could be finally complete as the Eucharist will be NO more, His sacrifice... they will say 1 of 2 things: 1) No more Eucharist or 2) Instead of His sacrifice it'll be a sacrifice of humanity. When that happens the bible says that all faithful to Jesus should run. Whoever hears...

REMEMBERING OUR FAMILY, FRIENDS & BENEFACTORS:
Oh holy souls in purgatory, you are the certain heirs of heaven. You are most dear to Jesus as the trophies of His Precious Blood and to Mary, mother of mercy. Obtain for me through your intercession the grace to lead a holy life, to die a happy death and to attain to the blessedness of eternity in heaven. Dear suffering souls, who long to be delivered in order to praise and glorify God in heaven, by your unfailing pity help me in the needs which distress me at this time, particularly... so that I may obtain relief and assistance from God. In gratitude for your intercession I offer to God in your behalf the satisfactory merits of my prayer and work, my joys and sufferings of this day (week, month, or whatever space of time you wish to designate).
The souls in purgatory are satisfying the temporal punishment still due from venial or confessed mortal sins they’ve committed during their lives.

A top executive for America’s leading pro-life organization, the American Life League, says the Obama administration is “doing the work of Satan” through its abortion and abortifacient mandates.
The conclusion comes from Jim Sedlak, vice president of the pro-life group that faithfully follows Catholic teaching and opposes not only abortion but other death-related agendas such as euthanasia.
Sedlak’s comments came only a day after the Washington Post quoted “Exorcist” author William Peter Blatty calling a graphic abortion procedure “demonic.”
At virtually the same time, Obama’s Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius was waffling in testimony before Congress on whether health care insurance policies would be available under Obamacare that allow religious believers to opt out of funding abortion.
“We have always described the work of Planned Parenthood as Satanic,” Sedlak told WND on the issue of abortion and Blatty’s reference.

Novena for Souls in Purgatory - Oct 24-Nov 1
O most gentle Heart of Jesus, ever present in the Blessed Sacrament,
ever consumed with burning love for the poor captive souls in Purgatory,
have mercy on the souls of Thy departed servants.
Be not severe in Thy judgments,
but let some drops of Thy Precious Blood fall upon the devouring flames.
And do Thou, O merciful Savior,
send Thy holy angels to conduct them to a place of refreshment, light and peace. Amen. O most compassionate Jesus, have mercy on the souls detained in Purgatory, for whose redemption Thou didst take upon Thyself our nature and endure a bitter death. Mercifully hear their sighs, look with pity upon the tears which they now shed before Thee, and by virtue of Thy Passion, release them from the pains due to their sins. O most merciful Jesus, let Thy Precious Blood reach down into Purgatory and refresh and revive the captive souls who suffer there. Stretch out to them Thy strong right hand, and bring them forth into the place …More

Ex-priest Tom Pivinski and his gay-partner of over 20 years, Malcolm Navias, organized a "wedding" on Monday at their home in Asbury Park, New Jersey. They wed on the very first day that same-sex marriage was allowed to happen in New Jersey after Governor Chris Christie dropped his appeal to overturn legalization.
Pivinski had already officiated three gay-«marriages» in the wee hours of Monday morning.
In the evening, he went home to join hands with Davias in a alleged Jewish wedding ceremony officiated by Rabbi Kraus.

Muslims across the U.S. who have been lobbying schools to close down on their holidays of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha have found an ally in the next mayor of New York City.
Both leading candidates – Republican Joe Lhota and Democrat Bill de Blasio – have expressed support for recognizing the Muslim holidays by closing schools, according to the New York Post.
Lohta told the New York Daily News that with a growing Muslim community in the city, “their religion needs to be respected as all other religions are respected,.”
“Those who are Muslim will be allowed to have that day off to celebrate their holidays,” the Republican candidate said.
De Blasio said a child “who has an exam on a day that right now on one of the Eid holidays, they’re either respecting their religious obligation or they’re doing what their education requires of them.”
“They can’t do both,” he said.

Jews worldwide are mobilizing to fight a plan by the U.S. National Archives under the Obama administration to hand over to the Muslim government in Iraq thousands of mostly priceless treasures, including ancient Torahs, that had been stolen by Saddam Hussein.
The historical items, labeled the Iraqi Jewish Archives, were taken from the soggy basements of dictator Saddam Hussein’s secret police headquarters when U.S. troops arrived there in 2003.
The Jews argue the items – including books, school records and rare editions of the Talmud – are their heritage, and there are no Jews left in Iraq.
The U.S. took custody, promising to return the items later.
The JWeekly, a newspaper serving the Jewish community in Northern California since 1896, reports that the Iraqi government at that time only had the Jewish artifacts because, “over several decades, successive regimes in Iraq systematically destroyed the country’s 2,500-year-old Jewish community and expropriated its property – right down to …More

In a decision hailed as a win for small businesses everywhere, the U.S. Supreme Court this week put “the final nail in the coffin,” of the peculiar case pitting the Louisiana Board of Embalmers and Funeral Directors against a local abbey of casket-making Benedictine monks.
"I was hesitant at the beginning to file the lawsuit. But it's the best thing that could have happened to our business," Abbot Justin Brown of St Joseph Abbey told the Los Angeles Times.
"We had all this excellent publicity, and now we are selling more caskets than we had ever expected. I think a lot of people heard about our case against the funeral directors and decided to buy one of our caskets."
The Times writes the battle was begun when the state board mandated that the monks stop selling the rudimentary cypress boxes they have long hand-crafted – and used to bury deceased colleagues.
