Pius XII having also read the Third Secret. The looks were that of fathers with sorrowing hearts that were deeply disturbed by something. I wondered what they saw in the future that put such concerned and sorrowful expressions upon their holy faces. Now I know.<br /><br />Pray FOR John XXIII and John Paul II.

Grasping at straws is, sadly, what many of us Catholics are wont to do when faced with some of these outrages, and as regards John Paul II's defense of the unborn what I perhaps should have mentioned is that singular incident when he was standing next to Bill and Hilary Clinton condemning the crime of abortion. It was fun to watch those two cretins cringe when the Pope said those words.<br /><br />But, again, you are correct: words are fine, but they must be followed by firm actions, like excommunications and refusing the sacraments to public and notorious sinners. <br /><br />Thank you for your comment.Aged parenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05217229048176272954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5637864682999679595.post-61378142637093571092014-04-24T05:04:20.010-05:002014-04-24T05:04:20.010-05:00What you say about the the sacraments administered...What you say about the the sacraments administered , the Masses and prayers is true, Paul. But Sacraments can be sacriligiously received. Contracepting, Sodomy accepting, Abortion accepting, Co-habiting novus ordo catholics receive the Eucharist and are prayed for too. Think they are in a state of grace? God will not reward those who caused His little ones to go to Hell. Woe to the world because of scandals and woe to the man by whom that scandal cometh. Matthew 18<br /><br />These canonizations are as false as an obama "presidency" and will serve the devil just as well if for no other reason than the great SCANDAL they will cause to novus ordo catholics and the heretics who are watching. Like the Anglicans. <br /><br />Yes, we stay in the Boat but not by condoning evil with our silence and calling evil good.<br /><br />Pray for the Consecration of Russia.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5637864682999679595.post-52726794068765080582014-04-23T22:10:04.392-05:002014-04-23T22:10:04.392-05:00It is important to keep in mind that a canonizatio...It is important to keep in mind that a canonization, at its root, is only a declaration that the person in question died in the state of grace, and is now in heaven. All the stuff about heroic sanctity is nice, desirable, even, but that is not the part that is guaranteed by the Holy Spirit. <br /><br />It is morally impossible that one can be honored as being among the blessed, who is actually a reprobate burning in hell.<br /><br />Additionally, if a pope who received that sacraments, last rites, weekly (daily?) confession, and had innumerable masses said for his soul, as well as maybe half a billion people praying for him cannot make it to heaven, then what hope do we have?<br /><br />I don't think that this is prudent, either, but I'll accept it if it happens. I also think that a lot of things in the church will be taken away from us, possibly everything that God has not explicitly guaranteed. It is going to get rough.<br /><br />Don't get out of the boat.<br /><br />PaulAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5637864682999679595.post-7968460785448013002014-04-23T20:02:25.399-05:002014-04-23T20:02:25.399-05:00I have not seen a "sterling defense" of ...I have not seen a "sterling defense" of the unborn out of JPII, Benedict XVI or...and certainly not out of Francis. A sterling defense would be to at least pray in front of an abortuary and to EXCOMMUNICATE any and ALL who vote a baby killer into office. Personally, I don't find anything less to be a defense at all.Amelia P.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5637864682999679595.post-21522929671918022942014-04-23T19:56:19.249-05:002014-04-23T19:56:19.249-05:00The Church is like unto Christ, she will seem dead...The Church is like unto Christ, she will seem dead, but she will arise.
