Arthur Schopenhauer ~ All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.
Bishop Schneider: Christ’s enemies have carried out “a hostile takeover” of the Church. At the Catholic Identity Conference in Pittsburgh on October 4, Bishop Athanasius Schneider delivered a diagnosis of the crisis in the Church, describing it as a “hostile takeover” from within. “We are witnesses of an unprecedented crisis of the Church,” Schneider said, pointing to “poisonous doctrinal ambiguities” and even “brazen heresies in the ranks of the high clergy”. “The world Christ warned of seems to have occupied the Church’s strategic administrative positions. There took place a hostile takeover.” Schneider said the crisis now affects virtually every aspect of Church life: “doctrine, morals, liturgy, discipline.” He also spoke of the “marginalization and a true persecution” within the Church of “all what is true Catholic.”
Bishop Schneider at CIC conference: A hostile takover of the Church took place.
If Bishop Schneider is just now figuring this out no wonder our Church is in serious trouble. His statement suggests that he only recently picked up one of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre’s books on the hijacking of Vatican II, SMH
Disgraceful. Let the Church hierarchy reflect carefully - bullies and cowards are among the goats, not the sheep. What did she say that you fear so much?!!
Diane Montagna said at the Catholic Identity Conference in Pittsburgh on October 3 that Leo XIV has shown he can overturn decisions made by Pope Francis — but so far largely on administrative and financial matters. What about things that matter “much, much more”? “Does Pope Leo have the light, the will, and the courage” to reverse the “draconian restrictions” on the liturgy imposed through Traditionis Custodes and the “ongoing revolution” of the Synod on Synodality, Montagna asked. “Or does he feel beholden to those who elected him or to those who surround him?” While Leo repeatedly speaks of unity, Montagna asked “what he wants unity with.” “Does he want uniformity with the ideologies of the past pontificate, or will he allow us to return to the idea of reform in conformity with tradition?”
Leo XIV only reversed Francis' course on financial or administrative matters, not on matters much more important, such as liturgy or faith,' said Diane Montagna at the CIC.
@maria divine mercy And everyone else who believes in this fake seer, should read this well.
It's amazing Catholics are still following this fraud. Maria Divine Mercy was exposed in 2015 as Irish businesswoman Mary Carberry, who made millions of dollars in profits on her so-called visions of Jesus and Mary.
“In those years,” says satan, “I will make many revelations. (I.e.,False revelations through apparitions that are actually demonic.) It will be impossible to expose my language. I will imitate all too well the words of Christ and His revelations. By loading these souls, I want a lot of pious priests to be lost, to mislead them deeply into all these things. I also want to lose many souls (the same way) who are not priests. (Other religious and the laity.) If I can not lose these souls, I will (make them) lose their reputation at least, I will make them charges of heavy slander, I will make them denounce up to the point of counsels of human laws.” A possible interpretation of this text: in the years when satan creates great confusion in the Church, he will cause many false apparitions to occur to mislead even the zealous and faithful with high sounding mysteries. It will be difficult to tell the difference between a false message from the true ones as satan will mimic how Our Lord and …ተጨማሪ
many of her prophecies came to fruition And many have not. 1. They take our very own prophecies and use them against us. Most of the time with a twist of their own beliefs. 2. It is said, most do it for money, fame and attention. 3. Some "maybe" mentally ill. This is what Priests have said and come to the conclusion. Which I already knew and saw many years before any Priest started to warn us against them. If I can see those things, I wonder all the time why others haven't. It doesn't seem good in the end that they easily fall for such lies from such people. You will do what you want. Whether it is to keep going off on our Religious, or following these fake seers. There is nothing I can do for such stubbornness and pride in a person. Not just you but for all who refuse to listen, read and learn. We have a lot of bad religious. Both men and women. I would think by now, most know this. Even those in the protestant no mess have woken up. GOD and ONLY GOD can help them. But mainly through …ተጨማሪ

The last letter from Fr Gruner April 30, 2015 Message from Fr. Gabriel Amorth to Fr. Nicholas Gruner Father Gruner's Newsletter - March 12, 2015 (Feast of Saint Gregory the Great) I recently returned from Rome, where I went to attend the February installation of the new cardinals. But while I was there something unexpected happened, something soul-shaking that I did not expect! I spoke with Father Gabriel Amorth, the world's most famous living exorcist. His words shook me as few things ever have! Father Amorth told me that we have but a Short-Time left before the chastisements predicted by Our Lady of Fatima begin to rip our world apart in ways we can hardly imagine! How Long? Less Than 8 Months! Father Gabriel Amorth told me that unless the consecration of Russia is performed as our Lady had asked that by the end of October 2015, the dark prophecies of Fatima may well come to pass any day after that! Why did Father Gabriel Amorth tell this to me? So that Our Lady's Apostolate will raise …ተጨማሪ
I pray every midnight 3 Our Fathers as The Blessed Mother told us to do and plead with GOD The Father to destroy all evil. Then I say an extra Our Father separate from the first 3 we must say for The Consecration of Russia to The Immaculate Heart of Mary to be done and said as the Pope was ordered to do it. I have confidence that GOD'S Will be done. And everything will be done according to His Will. For His Glory and for the good of the people. I accept and I never worry that GOD'S Will and His Great Chastisement that the world has never seen before. Or what His Will be for me. As long as in the end there shall be one fold and one shepherd. The one thing I dream and think of a lot. I have to correct myself. I say the 3 Our Fathers when I am able to. Which is nearly every night. I just want to be totally honest about what I say or do.
I have quite a few people I can name. But they will find out that there is no getting away from the evil deeds they have done and still plotting and planning to do.
US Bishop attends smudging ceremony. On July 11, the Diocese of Raleigh hosted its first multicultural celebration honoring St. Kateri Tekakwitha - the first North American Indigenous saint - at Holy Cross Church. The gathering included discussions, music, and indigenous dances. Richard Duran, a member of the Pascua Yaqui Tribe from Arizona, led a smudging ceremony, which the diocese described as sharing cleansing smoke “as an act of prayer and spiritual connection.” Bishop Luis Rafael Zarama was present and drew laughter when he said he would dance with his heart, not his body, because dancing to music can frustrate him. Smudging has nothing to do with St. Kateri. She left her indigenous community and moved to the Christian Mohawk community at Kahnawake, where she could freely live her Catholic faith.
The bishop of Raleigh, North Carolina participated over a shamanistic “smudging” ceremony to celebrate St. Catherine “Kateri” Tekakwitha, who rejected her native Mohawk religion. Pascua Taqui tribe member Richard Duran led the congregation of Holy Cross Catholic Church in Durham in a “smudging” ceremony in July. Smudging is a shamanic ritual that involves burning herbs and resins to “cleanse” a space of negative energy.

I have already spoken of the devotion of the ancient Jewish Church to the souls of the departed. But perhaps you arc not aware that the Jews retain to this day, in their Litany, the pious practice of praying for the dead. Yet such in reality is the case. Amid all their wanderings and vicissitudes of life, though dismembered and dispersed, like sheep without a shepherd, over the surface of the globe, the children of Israel have never forgotten or neglected the sacred duty of praying for their deceased brethren. Unwilling to make this assertion without the strongest evidence, I procured from a Jewish convert an authorized Prayer-book of the Hebrew Church, from which I extract the …ተጨማሪ
Hope he's right: " Amid all their wanderings and vicissitudes of life, though dismembered and dispersed, like sheep without a shepherd, over the surface of the globe, the children of Israel have never forgotten or neglected the sacred duty of praying for their deceased brethren."
Andrew, can you tell me which of your posts has GOD and Our Lord warning us about us about the scandals of our Religious and how we must avoid them? I can't find them in my folders that I saved. I don't wish for you to dig through your posts. Only if you know which ones I am referring to. Please! Don't go out of your way. Maybe which Saint revealed what was said. Or the title of your posts maybe? But please don't go out of your way.
ST. FRANCIS PATH: CHOOSING CHRIST OVER COMFORT - October 4 SGNEWS-SG Francis Bernardone il Poverello Memorial 4 October Profile Son of Pietro Bernadone, a rich cloth merchant. Though he had a good education and became part of his father‘s business, he also had a somewhat misspentyouth. Street brawler and some-time soldier. Captured during a conflict between Assisi and Perugia, Italy, he spent over a year as a prisoner of war. During this time he had a conversion experience, including a reported message from Christ calling him to leave this worldly life. Upon release, Francis began taking his faith seriously. He took the Gospels as the rule of his life, Jesus Christ as his literal example. He dressed in rough clothes, begged for his sustenance, and preachedpurity and peace. His family disapproved, and his father disinherited him; Francis formally renounced his wealth and inheritance. He visited hospitals, served the sick, preached in the streets, and took all men and …ተጨማሪ
