XIX-XX Century AD; Rome, Kingdom of Italy/Rome, Italy - Cardinal Alfredo Ottaviani ~~~ We have been watching for years an intensification of the popular hankering for the 'wonderful' even in the matter of religion...
@Orthocat... Pope Pius XII, in Mediator Dei, clarified that while liturgy reflects belief, it does not independently determine doctrine. lex orandi, lex credendi is optional, not binding on anyone. Fatima has so many weaknesses it is unreasonable to believe it. Most Catholics believe it simply because they want it to be true when it is not.
I know the catechism definition of "private revelation" ... BUT with many apparitions having been elevated by being added to the liturgical calendar, the old maxim: lex orandi, lex credendi seems to apply here - the way we pray, leads to belief. IMO one would be hard pressed to ignore these events that the Church herself finds so worthy of belief that they're celebrated within the Mass & Divine Office. A story: in seminary the liberal progressives hated 'private revelation" as much as they despised "private devotions". In other words, they wanted them jettisoned because they were a major stumbling block to ecumenical dialogue with Protestants.
Leo XIV continues Francis' course on homosexual pastoral: Bishop Athanasius Schneider told the Confraternity of Our Lady of Fatima on 13 September that the homosexual procession into St Peter’s Basilica on 6 September was "very sad" and "a continuation of the confusion regarding homosexual activity created by Pope Francis". He added: "In this regard, almost nothing has changed or improved." Furthermore, Leo XIV received Father James Martin SJ, one of the most prominent activists campaigning for a change in the Church's teaching on the sinfulness of homosexual acts: "The Pope granted him an official audience, complete with photographs. Fr Martin's triumphant messages, that the Pope encouraged him to continue his activism, were not corrected."

Contemporary Europe is not merely conducting flawed politics. It is pursuing a policy openly contradictory to the basic principles of logic and the instinct of self-preservation. On one hand, it declares support for Israel in its conflict with Hamas or Iran—thus with representatives of the Islamic world. On the other hand, it eagerly opens its borders to hundreds of thousands of migrants from Muslim countries. No controls, no preconditions, no requirements for assimilation. This is not ordinary political inconsistency. It is pure schizophrenia—a result of ideological intoxication among Western elites. In the name of “openness,” “tolerance,” and “repairing colonial wrongs,” the West has dismantled the fundamental defense mechanisms of its own civilization. Western nations have lost the ability to distinguish guest from aggressor, refugee from invader, immigrant from colonizer. One of the most grotesque aspects of this situation is the fact that Islam—now supported by Western elites …More
IF HE HAS DEVIATED FROM THE CATHOLIC FAITH, HIS ELEVATION ’SHALL BE NULL, INVALID AND VOID’. HOW CAN YOU TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A REAL POPE AND AN IMPOSTOR?

Leo XIV must revoke Francis’s formal heresies & reinstate the bishops & priests that were falsely canceled or excommunicated. Including restoring the Latin Mass. If these things are not done, the destruction of the Church will continue.
"Esto es asunto del juicio de Nuremberg." El oncólogo Dr. Angus Dalgleish dijo: "Estas no eran vacunas. Estas fueron terapias genéticas horribles que realmente podrían integrarse en su genoma." "Y esta es una de las razones por las que estamos viendo este aumento horrendo en los turbo cánceres." "Nunca, nunca fueron efectivos... y nunca, nunca estuvieron a salvo."
"This is Nuremberg trial stuff." Oncologist Dr. Angus Dalgleish: "These were not vaccines. These were horrible gene therapies that could actually integrate into your genome." "And this is one of the reasons we're seeing this horrendous rise in turbo cancers." "They were never, ever effective... and they were never, ever safe."
The Demo-rats are at it again! Rubbishing anything that President Trump has to say, especially when he references religious sentiments to his quest to make America great again!
Christopher William Butler, an English seminarian who lived in homosex partnership in Britain, is on track to be ordained a priest, reports ChurchMilitant.com. He studies in the Pontifical Beda College in Rome. When his accomplice died, he was accepted as seminarian by Leeds Bishop Marcus Stock. Butler is still promoting homosexual fornication in statements on social media. He still keeps "Valentine cards from the years with my beloved deceased partner" and puts one of them out every year. This gives him, "not sad, but warm feelings." Picture: ChurchMilitant.com

Excerpt from Day Thirty-One of The Virgin Mary in the Kingdom of the Divine Will . . . As I gave my last breath of pure love in the endlessness of the Divine Will, my Son received me in His arms and took me to Heaven, in the midst of the angelic choirs which praised me as their Queen. I can say that Heaven emptied Itself to come toward me. All celebrated, and in looking at me, remained enraptured and said in chorus: “Who is She, who comes from the exile, all cleaving to her Lord? All beautiful, all holy, with the scepter of Queen? Her greatness is such that the heavens have lowered themselves to receive Her. No other creature has entered the celestial regions so adorned and so striking—so powerful as to hold supremacy over all.” Now, my child, do you want to know who She is—for Whom the whole of Heaven sings and remains enraptured? It is I—She who never did her own will. The Divine Will abounded so much with me as to extend more beautiful heaven, more refulgent suns, seas of beauty …More
1. God is the primary origin of all holiness. But the Blessed Virgin gave us Jesus, Who is our Redeemer, and the author of grace. For this reason she may be called the source of grace, the divine aqueduct, as St. Bernard puts it, through which the supernatural life of grace is brought to us. (In adv. Domini, Serm. 2, n.5) She was, moreover, full of grace and outstanding in holiness; as the Mother of God she can obtain anything for us from her divine Son, because “it is the will of God that we receive everything through the hands of Mary.” (St. Bernard, In Nativ. B.M.V., Serm., n. 7) Thirdly, even by her example she can be the source of sanctity for us. If we study her amazing humility, we shall learn to be humble, for our sinfulness gives us such good reason to humble ourselves. If we meditate on her spotless purity we shall experience a great desire and love for this beautiful virtue and shall have recourse to her in every danger to save us from impurity. Then let us reflect on her …More
Archbishop Viganò announced his plans for a new seminary under his supervision while insisting that 'good and holy priests are needed who are not subjected to the blackmail of having to accept the errors of Vatican II or the deviations of Bergoglio in order to exercise their ministry.' Dear Friends and Benefactors, On December 2, the President of Exsurge Domine offered hospitality in Torrita di Siena for the celebration of Mass on the First Saturday of the month, followed by a reception attended by a number of friends and supporters. It was an opportunity to get to know each other in person – or to meet again – and to let you know about the decision to undertake the establishment of the Collegium Traditionis, the house of clerical formation that will welcome young traditional vocations and accompany them with discernment toward the Priesthood: I invite you to read my homily for a more complete picture. Needless to say, this ambitious project responds to an obvious pastoral need of …More
Let us fervently pray that this effort of the good Archbishop, and those connected to it, will not be infected with the venomous taint and poison of sedevacantism; and that those men who enter therein will not be irreparably marred in their priestly formation with the mad heresies of those seduced into rebellion against the Holy See and Throne of Saint Peter.
