Francis Rants Against Mary Coredemtrix

Mary is not "a redeemer." Much, less, she is not "alone a redeemer." or "a redeemer alone?" What the hell are you talking about, Pattfm?

Mary is the Mother of the Redeemer. She helped in her Son's work of redemption because that's what good mothers do.

She is the Mediatrix of Grace, but she is not co-redeemer, especially because these days, the prefix "co-" means co-equal. I know what people mean when they call her co-redemptrix, but the "co-" has evolved in our society to mean "equal." Rightly or wrongly, that what the prefix "co-" has meant. And it's not right to apply it in the case of Our Blessed Mother. Mary is not equal with her Son, her Lord and her God.

There are only four Marian dogmas that we ought to believe:
1. Mary is the Immaculate Conception.
2. Mary is ever-virgin.
3. Mary is the Mother of God.
4. Mary has been assumed into Heaven with her body and soul intact.

That's it. None of those says she is a co-redeemer, or an "alone redeemer." Only God can re-create what He has created. Only God can redeem what He has made.

“Forest Bathing” Counters Coronavirus Stress

These Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration are lucky to have a chapel for Perpetual Adoration of the Holy Eucharist. Eucharistic adoration is infinitely more restful and cleansing than forest bathing. Plus they can pray for other people's intentions which the Lord surely hears, but which trees in the forest don't.

Ruini Commission: Medjugorje Seers Are Not Mature In Faith, One Is Notorious Liar

Those apostles were newly-ordained priests at the Last Supper. Priests take and eat the Body and Blood of the Lord in their hands because their hands are consecrated. Lay people's hands are not consecrated, therefore it's advisable they receive on the tongue.

Fatima Authorities Forbid Traditional Mass

Moral of the story: Don't go to Fatima unless you're with a traditionalist-sympathizing Cardinal. You've got to show them your boss is bossier than theirs.
BTW, not surprising at all, considering the modernists who have all but thrown Melanie of LaSalette under the bus, declared her insane, and her mission hijacked.
Lord, have mercy.More

Cardinal Burke, I Have a Title But No Function

Your Eminence, When I asked if there will be a public correction of Amoris Laetitia, you told me not to worry about it; that you and the three other Cardinals were working on it. That was on March 19, in Oakland, California.
Now two Cardinals have died and only you and Card. Brandmuller are left to make the stand. It's now mid-September. Are you still working on it?
