It is granted to few to recognize the true Church amid the darkness of so many schisms and heresies,
and to fewer still so to love the truth which they have seen as to fly to its embrace. -St. Robert Bellarmine

The Third Secret of Fatima

"In the Third Secret we read, among other things, that the great apostasy in the Church begins at the top."

---Cardinal Luigi Ciappi, Papal theologian for 40 years to five popes

Based on what those who have read the Third Secret have said about it, we can deduce the warnings it contains...


( Facsimile of the third part of the Fatima Secret )

It warns that the dogma of the faith will be lost in some parts of the world,---possibly most of Europe, and other places too.

It warns of the subsequent loss of morals, both as a cause of loss of faith and then as a result of the loss of the faith.

It predicts that as a chastisement, God allows the Church to be infiltrated by bad clergy and the bad clergy then accelerate the apostasy of the faithful. Diabolical disorientation results in the Hierarchy and in lay people.

One of the sins that brings upon the diabolical disorientation of the lay people is the sin of contraception, as St. Raphael the Archangel explains to Tobias:

"Do you want to know over whom the devil has power? It is over those who go at marriage like the horse and the mule." (Tob. 6:16-17)

The Third Secret tells how the large masses of Catholics are deceived in their own hearts with diabolical disorientation. They in turn accept the wrong leadership that comes out of the ambiguous passages of Vatican Council II, especially regarding the New Mass, as well as the false theories of Ecumenism, Collegiality and Religious Liberty.

The betrayal known as the Vatican-Moscow Agreement (1962) allows Communists, radicals and Masons to enter our seminaries, our ranks of the priesthood and even be promoted to be bishops, both at home and abroad, even to enter the Vatican itself.

The Third Secret makes it plain that, above all, this is a spiritual war waged between the Blessed Virgin Mary---the Woman of Revelation---the Woman of the Apocalypse (Ch. 12) against Satan, Lucifer, the devil, and his followers. The only way we will be, and stay, on the right side is to stay close to the Blessed Virgin Mary. 


The ways we will distinguish between the good and bad clergy are by seeing if they uphold dogma, if they uphold Tradition, if they uphold what the Church has always taught and always stood for.

We need to look for these things in their words, but above all, in their lives. Do they make us follow Jesus and Mary, or do they draw us after themselves?

We must be careful not to judge by appearances but we must be on our guard against even bad bishops and Cardinals. We must even be on our guard to respect the Pope but be careful to not follow him if a reigning Pope were to give a bad example.

The Secret warns us of all these things and does it with an economy of words. Quite possibly it points us to certain passages of Scripture, notably Apoc. 12:1-4 as applying to our time with Our Lady's brief explanation of it.

It is most notable that Sister Lucy said that the Secret is contained in chapters 8 through 12 of the Apocalypse. This appears to be verified by Pope John Paul II and Pope Paul VI who both, in reference to Fatima, quoted from Chapter 12 of the Apocalypse.

There is nothing in the already published texts on Fatima about the Apocalypse. Thus, Fatima's most apocalyptic warnings must be contained in that part of the Secret that has yet to be released.

The Myth of Religious Tolerance

Excellent and high inspired article published in the Inside Catholic , written by Rev. Thomas D. Williams, L.C.:

The vehement, sometimes acrimonious debates that accompanied the drafting of the Vatican II declaration on religious freedom, Dignitatis Humanae, yielded an exceptionally precise and carefully worded document. Noteworthy in the 5,700-word declaration is the absence of even a single reference to religious "tolerance" or "toleration."

The choice of religious "freedom" or "liberty" as the proper category for discussion and the exclusion of "tolerance" flies in the face of the societal trend to deal with church-state issues in terms of religious tolerance.

As one notable example, along with the 40th anniversary of Dignitatis Humanae, 2005 also marked the tenth anniversary of the United Nations' "Year for Tolerance." Back in early 1995, Federico Mayor, director-general of UNESCO, made the following remarks in New York:

Fighting intolerance takes both state action and individual responsibility. Governments must adhere to the international standards for human rights, must ban and punish hate crimes and discrimination against all vulnerable groups, must ensure equal access to justice and equal opportunity for all. Individuals must become tolerance teachers within their own families and communities. We must get to know our neighbors and the cultures and the religions that surround us in order to achieve an appreciation for diversity. Education for tolerance is the best investment we can make in our own future security.

If the umbrella of tolerance necessarily covers hate crime legislation and "appreciation for diversity," with all that has come to signify, these remarks may well give pause. In modern discourse tolerance is never just tolerance; and even if it were, it would hardly present the best category for describing attitudes toward religion. Rather, we would do well to heed the wisdom of the Council Fathers regarding the true meaning of religious freedom.

Dancing with the saints: Retreat master says that's the key to Lent

Lord have Mercy , Christ have Mercy !
I just wonder how far Vatican II can go ..

Carmelite Father Francois-Marie Lethel gives one of 17 talks during a March 13-19 Lenten retreat for Pope Benedict XVI and his top aides in the Redemptoris Mater Chapel at the Vatican. The theme of the retreat was: "The Light of Christ in the Heart of the Church: John Paul II and the Theology of Saints." (CNS/L'Osservatore Romano)

VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- The saints aren't just people to turn to when something is lost or a situation seems hopeless; they are examples to follow in prayer and in efforts to reform and renew the church, said the priest who was preaching Pope Benedict XVI's Lenten retreat.

Carmelite Father Francois-Marie Lethel, secretary of the Pontifical Academy of Theology, led the pope and his top aides in their Lenten reflections March 13-19.

He said his 17 talks during the week would focus on the saints and Pope John Paul II.

In addition to helping Pope Benedict and Vatican officials prepare for Easter, Father Lethel said he wanted to help them prepare for the beatification May 1 of Pope John Paul.

"This beatification, which will be an event of immense importance for the church and the entire world, requires deep spiritual preparation involving the entire people of God and, in a particular way, the Holy Father and his closest collaborators," Father Lethel wrote in the introduction to the retreat program handed out to participants.

The tradition of having weeklong, preached "spiritual exercises" for the pope and members of the papal household began with Pope Pius XI in 1925. But for more than 35 years it was an Advent, not a Lenten retreat.

Pope John XXIII broke the Advent tradition in 1962 when he spent a week in September on retreat to prepare for the Second Vatican Council. His successor, Pope Paul VI, made the retreats a Lenten staple in 1964 and hugely broadened the list of preachers, who almost always had been Jesuits.

Father Lethel is the first Carmelite to be chosen to preach the pope's retreat, and three famous Carmelites figured prominently in his meditations: Sts. Therese of Lisieux, Teresa of Avila and John of the Cross.

The three were chosen, though, not because they were Carmelites, but because of their influence on Pope John Paul, Father Lethel said in an interview with L'Osservatore Romano, the Vatican newspaper.

The Holy Church: Papal Infallibility

Just saying that ...

..  I love the Holy Father , no matter what ..even ..
( please read down the picture )



We have a great passage written by Dr. Scott Hahn about  the mission of Vicar of Christ and Papal Infallibility :

Quote :
So when we look at the Pope, as we will this morning, we are going to be looking at him, not as some tyrant, not as some authoritarian "know-it-all" and not as some magician who can just kind of concoct a new revelation to satisfy all parties, or anything like that. We are going to be looking at a father figure that Christ has established over the family that He has purchased with His own blood.

Now, there are many misconceptions that people have. They sometimes think that the teaching of the Church is that the Pope is infallible; therefore, he can't sin. That's nonsense, although the present Pontiff goes to confession, I understand, at least once a week. He's got to have something to confess for it to be a valid sacrament administered to him. Others think that he always says the best thing at the right time. No, the Church has never insisted upon the fact that the Pope will always say the best thing at the right time. Rather, the teaching of the Church would allow for the Pope perhaps to postpone out of cowardice, a right thing. Or when he says the truth, when he teaches the truth, he might do so in a way that includes an ambiguity.

So we are responsible as Catholics to understand, not only what the Church teaches, but what the Church doesn't teach to help clear up these misconceptions. The Church teaches in a simple summary that the Holy Father, the Pope, the Bishop of Rome, as the successor to Peter and the Vicar of Christ, when he speaks as the universal teacher from the Chair of Peter in defining faith and morals does so with an infallible charism or an infallible gift through the Holy Spirit so that we can give to him the full assent of our intellect and our will, and we can hear the voice of Christ coming to us through the voice of the Pope when he is speaking in this capacity.
[...]
Infallibility, in a sense, is a negative gift. It doesn't mean he always says the right thing, it's always the right time; but that when he speaks with the authority that Christ gives to him, we have this Divine guarantee, because Christ promises that "I will build my Church." The Church of Christ is not a human institution first and foremost. Jesus identifies it as His own. "My church" and the institution and edification and up-building of the Church Jesus claims for himself, "I will build my Church." So, whatever instruments that Jesus chooses to use, ultimately are going to be under His control and He is going to be using them with this ultimate intention in mind, of building His Church, of governing His family and thus bringing about the guarantee that He imparts in Matthew 16, as we will see, that the gates of hell will not prevail against the Church, and will not prevail against the Rock which is Peter and the Popes who are in the line of succession with Peter.
[...]
One of the greatest Protestant Biblical scholars of the century supports this -- W. F. Albright, in his Anchor Bible Commentary on Matthew. I opened it up. I was surprised to see, "Peter as the Rock will be the foundation of the future community, the church. Jesus here uses Aramaic and so only the Aramaic word which would serve His purpose. In view of the background in verse 19, one must dismiss as confessional interpretation any attempt to see this rock as the faith or the confession of Peter."

A DETAILED REFUTATION OF INTER-RELIGIOUS PRAYER MEETINGS (PLURALISM) BASED ON SCRIPTURE

One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic Roman Church



Pope Pius XII said in Mystici Corporis: "If we would define this true Church of Jesus Christ - which is the One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic Roman Church - we shall find nothing more noble, more sublime, or more divine than the expression 'the Mystical Body of Jesus Christ'- an expression which springs from and is, as it were, the fair flowering of the repeated teaching of the Sacred Scriptures and the Holy Fathers."

There is no such thing as a "partial communion" between the Roman Catholic Church and non-Catholic religions or sects . To assert that there is a partial communion between the Roman Catholic Church and non-Catholic sects is overtly heretical, since it is directly contrary to the Church's teaching.

Pope Pius IX: "None [of these religious societies differing among themselves and separated from the Catholic Church], not even taken as a whole, constitutes in any way and are not that one, Catholic Church founded and made by Our Lord and which He wished to create. Further, one cannot say in any way that these societies are either members or parts of that same Church, because they are visibly separated from Catholic Unity."

Pope Leo XIII: "Jesus Christ never conceived of nor instituted a Church formed of many communities which were brought together by certain general traits - but which would be distinct one from another and not bound together among themselves by ties which make the Church one and indivisible - since we clearly profess in the Creed of our Faith: " 'I believe in one...Church.' "

Pope Pius XI: "It is absurd and ridiculous to say that the Mystical Body can be formed out of separated and disjunct members."

Pope Pius XI: "It is to depart from divine truth to imagine a Church which one can neither see nor touch, which would be nothing more than spiritual in which numerous Christian communities would be united by an invisible bond, even though they are divided in faith

Eternal Father, I offer You the most precious blood of thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the Masses said throughout the world today, for all the Holy Souls in Purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, for those in my own home and in my family. Amen
