"This severity of Divine Justice in regard to the most fervent souls is explained by the infinite Sanctity of God, who discovers stains in that which appears to us most pure."
Chapter XVI Pains of Purgatory — St. Antoninus and the Religious — Father Rossignoli on a Quarter of an Hour in Purgatory— Brother Angelicus. That which shows still more the rigour of Purgatory is that the shortest period of time there appears to be of very long duration. Every one knows that days of enjoyment pass quickly and appear short, whilst the time passed in suffering we find very long. Oh, how slowly pass the hours of the night for the poor sick, who spend them in sleeplessness and pain. We may say that the more intense the pain the longer appears the shortest duration of time. This rule furnishes us with a new means of estimating the sufferings of Purgatory. We find in the Annals of the Friar Minors, under the year 1285, a fact which is also related by St. Antoninus in his Summa.1 A religious man, suffering for a long time from a painful malady, allowed himself to be overcome by discouragement, and entreated God to permit him to die, that he might be released from his pains …More

According to Catholic faith, you cannot see the face of Jesus in Lucifer rather, Lucifer (Satan) is the ultimate adversary, a fallen angel who seeks to deceive by appearing as an "angel of light" or even Christ, but his true nature is darkness and evil, contrasting sharply with Jesus, the true Light and Morning Star. While both Jesus and Satan are sometimes referred to by the title "Morning Star" (Lucifer in Latin), this highlights their opposing roles: Jesus brings salvation, while Satan brings darkness and death. Satan's Deception: The Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) notes that Satan, once a good angel, became evil by his own choice and can disguise himself as an "angel of light" to deceive people, as warned in 2 Corinthians 11:14. No Blending of Identities: The Church distinguishes clearly between the Creator (Jesus) and the fallen creature (Satan), emphasizing that Satan's goal is to corrupt and destroy, not to reveal God's face In essence, seeing Jesus in Lucifer would be …More

Bishop Eleganti’s comments stand in stark contrast to Pope Leo’s recent statements. On January 25, 1986, Pope John Paul II announced the first multi-religious World Day of Prayer for Peace, which took place on October 27 of the same year. It was attended by 150 representatives of various religious groups, including the Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso, representatives of Tibetan Buddhism, Hinduism, and Sikhism, Inamullah Khan from the Islamic World Congress, and the Chief Rabbi of Rome, Elio Toaff, to name but a few. Further meetings followed with different emphases: in 1993, 2002, 2011, and 2016. As far as the interfaith meetings in Assisi were concerned, there were concerns from curia officials and bishops from the very beginning. They wondered whether this meeting of non-Catholic and non-Christian religious leaders was not dangerously close to “the heresy of syncretism.”[1] Above all, did these meetings not ipso facto place all religious traditions on the same level? “How could the pope …

On 1 December, Pope Leo XIV proclaimed at Martyrs’ Square in Beirut, Lebanon, that "every bell and every adhān" is united "into a single hymn" to "the one God". The adhān is the Islamic call to prayer performed by a muezzin. The 'one God' professed by Muslims rejects both the Trinity and the Incarnation. The two key phrases of Pope Leo XIV during the inter-religious meeting were: "… minarets and church bell towers stand side by side, yet both reach skyward, testifies to the enduring faith of this Land and the steadfast devotion of its people to the one God." "Here in this beloved land, may every bell toll, every adhān, every call to prayer blend into a single, soaring hymn." #newsTwkidoagja
God’s prophets warned humanity of the dangers of embracing paganism, as it leads to complete destruction. When this happens, the nations who allow this abomination into their churches will be wiped out, with little Mercy shown. Do not accept tolerance for pagans to take over the churches of God. You must never forget the great Sacrifice made by God when He sent His only Son to bring you salvation. The day that you accept the practices of other churches, not of God, or when you show respect for pagans, is the day when you will turn your back on the Truth. Keep your eyes open and pray that your churches will not force you to forgo your allegiance to Jesus Christ. Your beloved Mother Mother of Salvation: Do not accept tolerance for …
[Saint Bridget of Sweden/ Heliga Birgitta; XIV Century AD: aged 69-70; Uppland, Sweden/Rome, Papal States; Widow, Mystic; Spiritual Writer; Founder; Patron of Europe] Chapter 47 Our Lord’s words to his bride about the contempt of the New Law, and about how that same Law is now rejected and despised by the world, and about how bad priests are not God’s priests but God’s betrayers, and about the punishment and damnation they receive. “I am the God who in ancient days was called the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. I am the God who gave the Law to Moses. This law was like clothing. For as a mother with her child in the womb prepares her infant’s clothing, so too I, God, prepared the New Law, for the Old Law was nothing but the clothing and shadow and sign of future things to come. I clothed and wrapped myself in the clothing of this Law. And then when a boy grows up somewhat, his old clothes are laid down and new clothes are taken up. In this way, I fulfilled the …More
"Two things are found in the New Law: First, a prudent temperance in soul and body and the right use of all things. Second, a readiness for heeding and keeping the Law; for the person who cannot endure to stay in one thing can stand in another. Hereby follows that a person who cannot endure to be a virgin can live in in honorable marriage, and he who falls into sin may get up again and better himself. But this Law is now rejected and despised by the world. For they say that the Law is narrow, heavy, and ugly. They say it is narrow, for the Law orders one to be satisfied with the necessary and to flee the superfluous. But they want to have all things without reason like senseless cattle and above the necessity of the body, and that is why the Law is too narrow for them. Second, they say it is heavy, because the Law says that one should have enjoyment with reasonable temperance and at established times. But they want to fulfill their lust more than what is good and more than what is …More
"Accursed be therefore everything of what they take from the earth for their own benefit, for they do not praise their God and Creator who has given them this. Accursed be their food and drink that enters their mouths and nourishes their bodies to become food for worms and destines their souls for hell. Accursed be their bodies that will rise again in hell to suffer and burn for all eternity. Accursed be the years in which they lived uselessly. Accursed be the moment that begins hell for them and that never will end. Accursed be their eyes with which they saw the light of Heaven. Accursed be their ears with which they heard my words and did not care. Accursed be their taste with which they tasted my gifts. Accursed be their touch with which they touched me. Accursed be their smell with which they smelled the delightful things of the world and forgot me, the most delightful of all."
