The Remnant and other sites delete posts and also bans posters who disagree with them. It appears +Vigano has now fallen foul of this policy. Ironically, I have many issues with some of the Archbishop's political ideas and it is disagreement with them that often gets me banned, but I find it appalling that this has been done. The speech was apparently just cancelled 'from the roster'. How many people paid to hear him?

Thanks, Adrien, for taking the time to reply in such great detail. It's much appreciated. We won't agree on everything - eg Faustina and, although I know nothing of Ryden, from the bit I've just read about her probably won't be following her either! I steer clear of modern mystics.

However, the rest is very interesting. I knew about Liu Ming and the suspect resignation but it's always good to be reminded about such details. I'll work through your links later. Have just dropped by thewildvoice, which I didn't know about, and see there is plenty to read about Francis. I'm sure at least some of it will be new to me. If those documents are genuine - and I have no problem at all with the idea of him being involved in Freemasonry - it just shows how little anyone in the hierarchy cares about such 'minor' details. Mind you, half of them are probably tied up in it these days.

Your English is fine - I wouldn't have known it isn't your first language. In Christo.

@Sancte Teotónio Thanks for the reply. I looked them up on Wikipedia and it says 'The missionaries are not, strictly speaking, a religious institute, whether "order" or "congregation". Instead, they are a society of apostolic life.'. So then I looked that up and I still don't understand the situation either generally or in this context!!! Wikipedia's not the best place to read up on it all. They don't appear to be Diocesan Priests either.

Cardinal Burke should re-read Daniel :

"And strength was given him against the continual sacrifice, because of sins: and truth shall be cast down on the ground and he shall do and prosper." (Dan 8:12). "The victim and the sacrifice shall fail: and there shall be in the temple the abomination of desolation." (Dan 9:27). "They shall defile the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the continual sacrifice, and they shall place there the abomination of desolation." (Dan 11:31)."

The idea that any of this is valid Catholicism in any sense is a joke. They're all nutters - "Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad" comes to mind, but the original source from Sophocles is much fuller.

Chorus
[615] See how that hope whose wanderings are so wide truly is a benefit to many men, but to an equal number it is a false lure of light-headed desires. The deception comes to one who is wholly unawares until he burns his foot on a hot fire. [620] For with wisdom did someone once reveal the maxim, now famous, that evil at one time or another seems good, to him whose mind a god leads to ruin. [625] But for the briefest moment such a man fares free of destruction.

I reckon PMama and her fellow 'gods' are quite busy at present and that there are going to be more than a few burnt feet and hot flames around in the spiritual sense!

Well, I suppose there are plenty of people who haven't yet delved into the history of the last few decades and genuinely think that everything was fine before Francis and that it is he not VII which is the only problem. I think though that there are also plenty (probably the vocal majority) who are indeed trying to mislead the first group. I'm not sure how many people would fall into the third group of those who know the real reasons and acknowledge them!!!
