A 33 Year Journey of a Soul

+AM+DG+

My sister asked me to write down what I remember about Vatican II. (After her own reflection, she’d been asked for more by readers). I have just read what she wrote and it is very comprehensive. However, from my point of view I can add some things. See https://remnantdisciples.wordpress.com/2016/11/04/a-church-in-change-part-1-a-personal-reflection/ for her reflection.

Post WWII: Pre Vatican days

After we arrived in this country, late in 1949, I was 8 1/2 years old, altarboysand up until that time, I had not had the opportunity of becoming an altar boy.  We were placed into a migrant camp, where a Polish German priest, looking after the spiritual welfare of the migrants asked me to become an altar boy. I am now 75 years old and am still privileged to be able to serve on the altar as an altar server, even though it is now hard for me to kneel at the altar without support due to weakness in my back as a result of a back operation many years ago.

As my sister pointed out in her reflection, most Catholic chilolmc-friendsdren went to Catholic schools where all the teachers were nuns or brothers who were very dedicated to their Faith. As a result we received a good foundation in our Faith. Every Friday the whole school would go to Benediction and a priest would come to our school once a month to hear our Confession and if the Church was next to the School, we would go to confession there. There were always a lot of hymns that we used to sing, so we all know all the old hymns, which we sang at Benediction or the English hymns during the Latin Mass*. The Mass, however, except for the singing was completely silent, the only time the congregation said anything was when the priest turned to face the congregation for Communion  at the “Domine Non Sum Dignus” which was said in English** by all the congregation praying together : “Lord, I am not worthy…”.

(Comment by R.S:*It surprised us here in this country, that many Latin Mass  priests do not like us to sing English hymns during the Latin Low Mass. I don’t know if it was different in other countries pre Vatican II – but why then are there so many old hymns which date back centuries – to be sung at the Offertory and Communion? This was also the case in Europe from where our family emigrated – hymns were sung in the vernacular during the Latin Mass. **The same applies to the “Lord I am not worthy..” When the priest says it the second time, facing the people, we said it in English. Perhaps this was just a custom or indult for this country. I don’t know. At the Latin Mass now, we say it in Latin.)

Mass on a Saturday night, if there was one, did not count for Sunday, and there was only one place in the city that I knew of, that had a Mass on Sunday night. Fasting before Holy Communion was from midnight or from midday if Mass was on a Sunday night.

If there were 2 priests at a parish, the 2nd priest was always there to help distribute Holy Communion (kneeling and on the tongue) which would always take some time, as the church was always full.

When boys reached the age of about 14, Brother would arrange for all the boys who were interested in becoming priests, to spend the day at the seminary and when we arrived we would find hundreds of boys there – all for the same reason.

My last full year at school was 1955. We were in a class where Brother taught 2 classes at the same time (Years 8 and 9) of about 50 children. At this time, the metropolita1963_brothers_with_polly_farmern area was just one archdiocese and Cardinal Gilroy was the man in charge and was a good Cardinal. I was talking to a priest one day and mentioned how friendly Cardinal Gilroy was, and the priest said ”Yes, but if a priest came before him who had done something wrong, he would, with the same smile on his face, tell him that he would go and serve at some unknown place out the “back of Bourke” or somewhere. I, too (as my sister) was confirmed by Cardinal Gilroy and everybody thought very highly of him.

In my last year of school in 1955, I remember thinking at the time, that of the 50 or so boys in our classroom, most of whom would leave school in the next 12 months, I estimated that, about 50% of these boys would never enter a church again except at Christmas or Easter. So this good grounding in the Faith that we received, was not received with faith in a lot of cases and fell on barren ground.

With the Latin Mass, every male was expected to be able to serve on the altar. However, when we left school, we left the altar service, to make way for the younger boys coming up.

At that point, on leaving school, we would join the parish CYO – i.e. the Catholic Youth Organisation. We would have a meeting one night a week, and make plans to go out somewhere – to the pictures (movies), or the beach or bushwalking. And sometimes we would do these things together with the CYO from another parish.

Every Saturday afternoon, from 2 to 4pm there would be confessions at the church and again after 6pm as well.

Death of Pius XII

I remember when Pius XII died, in 1958: the cardinals met at the conclave to elect a new pope and I remember white smoke coming out of the chimney to indicate a pope had been elected. At this time television had only recently become available, but not many people could afford to buy them, so we would go down to the shops and watch it in the shop window. However, shortly afterwards, black smoke came out of the chimney, indicating that the vote was not successful and eventually John XXIII was elected. This caused a stir because the cardinal first elected was denied the right to accept the position.

Vatican II and John XXIII: The Leonine prayers and the Third Secret

John XXIII said  “let us open the windows and let some fresh air into the church” and he summoned the bishops for Vatican II. He also said that any priest or religious that wanted to leave their vocation could do so. As a result many thousands of priests and religious left their life’s vocation. This did not surprise me as I was aware that a lot of them had a faith that had become “lukewarm” (In 1962, I was 21 years old.)

When John XXIII set up Vatican II, he also invited the Russians (I presume he meant the Orthodox prayers-after-low-mass-card-02Bishops). But the Russian Premier Nikita Kruschev, refused to let them out of Russia unless John XXIII gave orders that the prayer to St Michael, and the Leonine prayers, which were said after very Low Mass for the conversion of Russia, were stopped right throughout the world. John XXIII gave that order and from that point on, these prayers were no longer said.

Our Lady of Fatima requested that the 3rd secret of Fatima be revealed no later than 1960. Pius XII died in 1958, and when John XXIII became pope, he read the 3rd secret, but refused to tell the world what it contained. In reference to this he said: “No, this is not for our time”.

Vatican II and Paul VI: the New Mass and the Ottaviani Intervention

He died while Vatican II was still in progress and the next pope was Paul VI. Who instructed Bishop Bugnini to write a new Mass – the Novus Ordo. 5 protestants and one Jewish theologian were invited to Vatican II as observers for the writing of this new Mass. We knew that the reason for all this was to try to convert the protestants to Catholicism. I thought at the time that this was not a good idea because we cannot compromise any part of our Faith. I felt that they were there more than just observers. In fact, when the Novus Ordo was completed, they came out of the meeting and the protestant theologians were shaking each others’ hands and one was heard to say “Not in our wildest dreams did we think we’d achieve so much”.

In the Vatican at the time, there was an old cardinal of humble 325__05838-1469067521-1280-1280background – a holy man who had served a number of popes. His name was Ottaviani and he issued a document called “The Ottaviani Intervention” – a legal document that I understand can still be accessed today. I understand that it warned the Pope that if he authorised this new Novus Ordo Mass, that he would be a heretic. So Pope Paul VI had the N.O. changed slightly so that the Mass would not be heretical. We were left with a watered down version of the old Latin Mass that left a lot of good priests in a state of shock.

Masonic bishops and Fr. Malachi Martin

There was also another Bishop in the Vatican called Bea and he, the same as bishop Bugnini, were both Masons and this Bishop Bea had an Irish Jesuit priest as Secretary called Malachi Martin who went to Pope Paul VI and said that he also wanted to leave the priesthood because in good conscience he could not say this new Mass.

So Paul VI asked him not to leave, and that he would give him permission to say the Latin Mass wherever he might be in the world. What I did not realize was that when all the priests were leaving the priesthood, a lot of our best priests left as well because in conscience they could not say the new Mass. Eventually Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI regulated certain parts of this Mass so that there would be no doubt that the N.O. was an authentic Mass. (E.g the words of Consecration which had been changed were changed back into the original – “for all” was deleted and replaced by ”many”. The clergy excused it saying that it was just an error, – a bad translation – but that’s rubbish – It was deliberate. I never passed a Latin exam, but even I knew that “multis” meant “many’.

Changes gradually introduced into the Mass

So as a young man in the 1960’s and as Vatican II progressed, we wondered where all this was leading to. I remember the Mass changing from Latin to English, which was not really a problem, as Latin stayed the official language of the Church and instead of the priest saying the Mass in Latin, he was now saying the same Mass in English just as we were reading it in our missals. My wife said that even the English was introduced gradually and the first thing they changed was that we were now praying the Our Father out loud in English. So all the changes were very gradual until two years later, when suddenly without any warning or explanation, the old Latin Mass was gone, never to be seen again. And the new Mass was celebrated with the priest no longer facing the Tabernacle, but had turned around and was facing the congregation.

Drastic changes

The changes in the church itself that had already taken place or were in the process of taking place were very drastic. The altar rails were gone, statues were taken away, a new table replaced the old high altar and was placed forward in the sanctuary to enable the priest and acolytes to stand behind it. Some churches took the new table/altar, and put it half way down the aisle which looked silly. But in other places it was a lot more drastic. For instance in Christchurch, NZ the Bishop vandalized the Cathedral. He not only removed the altar rails, he also took down the statues and traditional stations of the Cross. He took out all the pews and burnt them and replaced them with cheap chairs. He dismantled the marble high altar and had it dumped into the ocean.

For his efforts he received a personal letter from Bishop Bugnini thanking him for his achievements. I am sure that there were families in Christchurch who remembered that their parents had with donations, helped build the church and its furnishings of this once beautiful cathedral and I am sure they would not have been happy to see it all destroyed.

Women in the Sanctuary

After things settled down somewhat, our parish priest asked me and a few other men to become acolytes. As I trusted our priest, I thought that if something were not in order, he would tell us. So I agreed and after instructions, we were installed by the Bishop as Acolytes. However, the changes continued. Other women and men became Eucharistic Ministers, but they were not installed by the bishop.

With the old Mass, the only time a woman was allowed inside the altar rails during Mass, was when she was being married with a Nuptial mass, now it seems all this no longer mattered. No one gave out any information. There was only the priest or the local Catholic newspaper to keep us informed.

The treatment of Garabandal

In the early 60’s, the Catholic newspaper wrote about the wonderful things that were happening in Garabandal and then all of a sudden – nothing – as if Garabandal never existed. We were all in the dark, no-one to enlighten us, and I was becoming more and more concerned, and eventually traumatised by what was happening.

A new magazine opened my eyes9780522852745_332x500

As I started to realize that the Church was heading down the path of Protestantism. I thought I was going mad as no-one else showed any concern. Then one day I picked up a magazine called ‘AD 2000” printed by Bob Santamaria, who had started a new branch of a political party this country, but later gave away politics to devote his time to religious matters. He was a protégé of Dr Mannix – Archbishop of another state, who by this time had already died. I discovered that this magazine was full of all the things I realized was now wrong with this new Mass and the path we were taking. So I realized that I was not going mad after all – that there were 1000’s of people all over the world who were concerned about what was happening.

Liturgical matters

One of the things that concerned me was the problem of the use of the big host (about 4”) to celebrate the Mass. (It was supposed to replace all the little hosts that they were trying to get rid of). The priest broke up this big host and small particles flew in every direction. After Mass because of my concern, I used to go around collecting these consecrated fragments: on the altar, in front of the altar where the priest stood, over on the side where the acolytes were given Communion and where the altar rails used to be where the congregation were receiving Communion. As all these pieces of the Host all had rough edges, pieces were falling everywhere and no-one took any notice. At the old Mass, of course, the small hosts were all perfectly formed and a Communion plate was used to catch any particles falling off. By this time I realized that Canon Law stated that only the consecrated hands of a priest or a deacon can touch the Eucharist.

Another big problem in my mind was that in my parish before Christmas and Easter we were invited to a communal confession where the priest gave absolution for venial sins and personal confession was available for serious sins. I thought this strange, but it was supposed to be for the huge numbers going to confession at these times of the year. This went on for a couple of years and then about the third year, I realized that this was different from the previous year and that in fact, that what Father was performing was the third Rite of Confession. I said to my wife that this was illegal under these circumstances.

This eventually became a concern of thoughtful Catholics all over the Western world and people were complaining about it but I seem to remember it took about 3 years before it was properly addressed and the Vatican put a stop to it.

In my mind it was this incident that did a tremendous lot of harm to the Faith of the congregation and the church. Because it seemed to me that from that time on, nearly everybody thought it was no longer necessary to go to Confession and from about that time, all the congregation started to come to Holy Communion and only about 20 people continued to regularly come to Confession.

Searching for another Mass

My sister  and I decided we would have to leave our parishes to look for the old Latin Mass which was taught to us in our Catholic schools by our brothers and nuns. So in the end we left our parish of nearly 50 years and went to a Maronite Mass until we found the Latin Mass. We knew that there was one in the area but we had to find it. I was delivering some literature from the Pilgrims of St Michael (who were visiting our country at the time from Canada). This woman to whom I delivered this literature was going to do a letter box drop and give them to friends and she mentioned that she goes to the Latin Mass. So I found the Mass I was looking for. This was in 2002 which was about 33 years after the introduction of the N.O. A huge weight was lifted from our shoulders and practically from the first day, I was again serving on the altar and it seemed that it was only yesterday that I had last served the Latin Mass. We had “come home” to where there is no doubt and everything was as it should be.

I came to realize, because of Bob Santamaria and the AD200 magazine and the Jesuit priest Malachi Martin, that the modernist bishops were taking control of the church and had co-erced conservative bishops in letting them have their way by putting up a front of solidarity. The bishops, in turn, forced this new point of view onto their priests, because if a priest refused to do as a Bishop said, the Bishop would strip him of his faculties. In most cases the priest that remained did not have the courage to say to the Bishop that he refused to say this new Mass and to go along with the changes, and to say that he refused to resign. There were not many priests with that sort of courage.

More Effects of the Novus Ordo

When all this came to a conclusion, with the attempted excommunication of the sodality_of_mary_agm_at_centocow_1Latin Mass, all the Sodalities were stopped, such as The Holy Name Society, the Legion of Mary, the Children of Mary,*** etc.

On the other hand, they introduced Parish councils which meant setting up committees of all types that were deemed to be needed. In other words, committees telling the priest how to do his job, which no good priest could tolerate. As if the priest was not already busy enough, now he had to contend with a bunch of lay people telling him how to do his job. However, in all this, the St Vincent de Paul society was left alone.

So from my point of view, all that had happened from Vatican II up to the present time was the first step to get us ready for what is happening now: that is, the attempt of  the total destruction of Christ’s church on earth.

BREAKING: Cardinal Burke says if Pope won’t clarify ‘serious error’, Cardinals must make ‘formal act of correction’

Galatians (1:8) 
If even an angel should preach unto you any Gospel
other than that which we preached unto you,
let him be anathema.

Matthew 24:35 (NRS) 
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.

 

ROME, November 15, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – After joining a group of four cardinals in releasing a call for Pope Francis to clarify grave errors in his apostolic exhortation Amoris Laetitia, Cardinal Raymond Burke has now indicated the cardinals are contemplating a “formal correction” should the pope fail to address their concerns.

The cardinals had written to the pope with their concerns on September 19, but after failing to receive a response for nearly two months, they released the letter publicly on Monday morning.

Now, in an interview with the National Catholic Register’s Ed Pentin, Burke discusses the next steps should the pope fail to address the cardinals’ concerns. Here is Pentin’s question and the cardinal’s response…( See the complete article at: https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/cardinal-burke-if-pope-wont-clarify-his-serious-error-cardinals-must-make-a  )

***

Burke goes on to insist that in a case of conflict between the pope and Church Tradition, the Tradition is binding.

“Ecclesial authority exists only in service of the Tradition,” Burke explains.

I think of that passage of St. Paul in the [Letter to the] Galatians (1:8), that if ‘even an angel should preach unto you any Gospel other than that which we preached unto you, let him be anathema.’

Cardinal Burke explains,
“It is the duty…, and historically it has happened,
of cardinals and bishops to make clear
that the Pope is teaching error and
to ask him to correct it.”

The September 19 letter, signed by Cardinals Walter Brandmüller, Raymond Burke, Carlo Caffarra, and Joachim Meisner, asked the pope 5 short questions which call for ‘yes or no’ answers that would immediately clarify the meaning of the confusion-plagued document on precisely those points where theologians, priests and even bishops have offered contradicting interpretations.

In the interview, Burke emphasizes that the cardinals have sought to act for “the good of the Church,” which, he says, “is suffering from a tremendous confusion” on the points they have raised especially. He notes, for example, that priests in different dioceses are being given contradictory directions on how to handle the question of access to Communion for those in adulterous unions.

“We, as cardinals, judged it our responsibility to request a clarification with regard to these questions, in order to put an end to this spread of confusion that is actually leading people into error,” he says.

“For us to remain silent about these fundamental doubts, which have arisen as a result of the text of Amoris Laetitia, would, on our part, be a grave lack of charity toward the Pope and a grave lack in fulfilling the duties of our own office in the Church,” he adds.

Readings from the Book of Truth

2. Thunder and lightning will descend upon the Temple of the Lord

January 3, 2015

My dearly beloved daughter, when God gave the world the Truth, through the prophets, it was an act of mercy on His part. So many had forgotten about God, adored false gods – which come from the hierarchy of satan – that they began to believe in their own invincibility. Were it not for God’s Intervention many people would have suffered a terrible punishment.

What God told the prophets, since the beginning, happened. The warnings He gave to humanity resulted in those, who heeded them, being saved while those who ignored them were cast away.

All that has been foretold will come to pass, and those who oppose God in His attempts to bring peace and salvation to His children will have to account for their defiance. Because the Truth has been twisted and the Word of God ignored, people will continue to turn their backs on the Holy Word of God. Their descent into darkness will result in a punishment by God, the Most High.

It pains My Eternal Father to see the depths to which man has fallen in the pursuit of anything that brings him pleasure. But, the day when the Holy Sacrifice ends, and the hour that the imposters desecrate My Altar, will be the final thorn by which they will pierce My Side. At the appointed time, thunder and lightning will descend upon the Temple of the Lord and it will come crashing down. Woe to the man who participates in this sacrilege for he will be cut off from every reprieve and he will fall into the abyss like a stone. No one will defend the man who desecrates My Altar then, for once the Hand of God descends like a heavy axe, they will realise the Truth.

Many may have fallen away from God but, for the most part, many will still call out to Him seeking solace in His Arms. But, there will exist a core – a band of beasts – whose outward appearance disguises the wickedness, which lies within, who will urge, seduce and draw towards them the souls whose hardened hearts have made them the perfect cohorts in the plot to desecrate My Body. This is the group, foretold of long ago, who will try to destroy humanity. Their power will be limited, however, though it may seem great. My Father will only permit so much opposition against Me, His only begotten Son, for so long.

The good of heart will rally and come to Me. It is through the sins of pride and arrogance that the greatest division will be created amongst men and, unless they discard their weaknesses, they will find it impossible to accept My Mercy.

The Truth must be upheld for if you accept anything but the Truth – the Word of God – you will end up with nothing.

Your Jesus

 

  1.  I will come in the clouds surrounded by all the angels and the saints in Heaven

18 March, 2012

My dearly beloved daughter, My children must know that the reason the world is spiritually empty is because they no longer know the difference between right and wrong. If it were not for My Light, which fills each soul, including sinners, the world would cease to exist. It is My Light, which keeps the world alive.

Many of My followers, who consecrate themselves to suffer in union with Me, also help keep this Light alive. Just before I return, My Light will disappear in the world, for a period of three days. This will happen at the very end and must not be confused with The Warning.

It will be during these three days, that there will weeping and gnashing of teeth and people will scramble looking for My Light, even though they rejected Me. This will be the time for the Truth.

My followers must not fear these three days, for while you may not be aware of My Presence, I will be with you.

Then after the three days, I will return to Earth, exactly the way in which I ascended into Heaven. I will come in the clouds, surrounded by all the angels and saints in Heaven in Great Glory. How beautiful and joyful will that Day be when I come to Reign over the Earth according to My Father’s Will. No man will be in any doubt that it is I. Nor will they have any doubts about their future. This will be the Day I come to Judge.

I will divide My people into those who love Me and those who hate Me. Those, who rejected Me and paid homage to all things evil, will be banished in the eternal fires of Hell. The rest will come and live with Me, in Paradise, along with the resurrected righteous. This is the goal, which every soul must look forward to, when I come again as I promised you.

To Christians, I say this. Know that this Great and Glorious Event will take place soon. Your generation will witness My Glorious Return.

I will never reveal the Day, for only My Father knows this, but I can assure you that the time for My Second Coming is close.

To My sacred servants I tell you that it is your duty to prepare My people, those souls for whom you are responsible, so that they are included in the Book of the Living. I plead with you to work hard, through the power of communications and prayer, to prepare the world for My Second Coming.

Your loving Saviour,

Jesus Christ

Redeemer of all Mankind

4. My Love for humanity is whole. I love all, including those who commit the most wicked acts

January 9, 2014

My dearly beloved daughter, look around you and what do you see? A world full of contradictions. On one side you will see love, joy and goodwill. But then this will be counteracted, on the other side, by the hatred, which the evil one has for humanity.

Any unrest, sorrow, confusion, lack of trust, venom, hatred and evil which you see take place in the world; know that this can only come from one source. The scourge of humanity, that is Satan, has created desperate unhappiness amongst God’s children. Their pain then becomes Mine and this is why the evil one creates such havoc – to hurt Me.

My daughter, everywhere you walk and every face you see, as and from this day, will be as I see them – each a child of God. How I love them all, how I want to cherish each of them – irrespective of their faults or their sins. It makes no difference what they have done to offend Me; I still love them – each and every one. I feel great joy when I see the love radiate from them – a love they have received as a Gift from My Father, Who created them. Their love is My Love and it draws other souls to them and this then spreads the Love of God everywhere.

But when I witness pain and suffering, in any soul, then their pain becomes Mine. Their pain can be caused by terrible suffering, brought about by lack of love for others, which brings a sense of desperate desolation. Their loneliness and isolation is felt by Me also and this ignites My Compassion further.

Then there are those souls who spend all their time chasing things, which do not come from Me. Those who reject Me, completely break My Heart in two. How I shed many Tears of Blood for these souls, for they have cut the umbilical cord, which joins them to their Saviour – their only hope of Salvation. When you see these souls, My daughter, you will feel a terrible sorrow in your heart, just as I feel for them.

Finally, there are those who say that they represent Me, but who are not worthy to wipe My Feet. Their hatred of Me is caused by their love for themselves. Yet, no matter how often they insult Me and mislead My flock, I still crave their souls.

My Love for humanity is whole. I love all, including those who commit the most wicked acts. So it will be until the end. I will embrace all souls until the last day, when after all efforts by Me to save souls have been exhausted, only those who run into the abyss of the beast and who refuse Me, despite knowing how much I love them – will be lost to Me, forever.

Always love each other, faults and all – the way I love you. When you disapprove of someone, remember My Love and remain silent. When you despise another know that this hatred does not come from Me. When you look at one another, see them as if through My Eyes. Not one of them should be shunned by you. Instead, show compassion to those who displease you, offend you or cause you harm, for they are loved by Me. If you love Me, you will show love to all of those with whom you come into contact.

Love is infectious because it comes from God. Only good can come from love.

Your Jesus

Total Depravity heresy of Luther

+AM+DG+

By Dave Webster

28 October 2016 at 17:14

As a former fundamentalist Baptist pastor I can assure you that the Reformed Protestant doctrine of the Total Depravity of humanity is the most fundamentally disruptive and destructive heresy of the Luther/Calvin Reformed movement. Without it the greatest and most tragic schism in the Church would never have taken place — the Protestant rebellion simply COULD NOT have taken place. Total Depravity is the entire basis for the false notion that faith alone, a true gift of God, is alone the cause of one’s Salvation.

Total Depravity means there is nothing man can do that God could accept as helpful to his salvation. Total Depravity means not only man by very nature, from Adam’s Fall, is barred from Heaven but man has no ability of himself whatsoever to do anything about his condition. He cannot OF HIMSELF even freely chose to respond to the faith God puts in various measure into every human heart. The claim then is that its faith ALONE THAT ACTUALLY DOES THE SAVING. Then in addition, if it is ALONE the divine impartation of faith into the heart of those God chooses to save that saves, then salvation has nothing to do with one’s free will to accept or reject faith’s voice and call.

That indeed was the view of Luther and Calvin and that has been the view of most evangelical fundamentalist Protestants to this day. This is why these also believe that even the most egregious sin committed by the “saved” cannot UN-save him. That’s the “once saved always saved” heresy. Once saved always saved and salvation by faith alone has not only led many into a very dangerous false assurance but nothing has created more animosity among so many non-Christians who have been led to believe this is true Christianity. With the lost having no real part in Salvation, with God merely choosing who He wants to save, leaving all the rest to perish in Hell, who could blame anyone for this negative reaction?
This is not however the end of the damage this heresy had caused. Reformed theologians and teachers, seeing the injustice of this thinking have over the years decided to alter their views. Oh, not to deny the heresy Total Depravity or that it is alone God’s gift of faith that saves, (to do that would admit you’re Catholic!) but to simply deny the teaching of Jesus, the Bible and the Church that “many” shall end up in an eternal Hell. They have decided to accept the view that in the end all will end up chosen of God to Salvation! That doctrine is usually called “Universalism.”

Now they would never want to deny Total Depravity and Luther’s “Bondage of the Human Will” because that gives them the excuse to live in their sins and pass the buck to God for them. This was the reason Luther created his “Bondage of the Will” and it’s the reason Francis has bought into the doctrine. Francis however does not have a completely Universal Salvation, he clearly wants to leave room for the damnation of the “ridged” and the resisters of his new toleration of human sin. That’s a reference to the same group of Catholics who are voting for Donald Trump, the Deplorables, the Irredeemables.

Error and Truth: FP and the Lutherans

+AM+DG+

On 31st Oct, 2016, the FP/(pf) signed a declaration with the Lutherans. Some excerpts:

“we are profoundly thankful for the spiritual and theological gifts received through the Reformation”.

“Many members of our communities yearn to receive the Eucharist at one table, as the concrete expression of full unity.” And “we seek to remove the remaining obstacles that hinder us from attaining full unity”

“With this Joint Statement, we express joyful gratitude to God for this moment of common prayer in the Cathedral of Lund, as we begin the year commemorating the five hundredth anniversary of the Reformation. “

“Fifty years of sustained and fruitful ecumenical dialogue between Catholics and Lutherans have helped us to overcome many differences, and have deepened our mutual understanding and trust”

“Theological differences were accompanied by prejudice and conflicts, and religion was instrumentalized for political ends”

“Lutherans and Catholics have wounded the visible unity of the Church.”

This and other of fp’s speeches can be found on Vatican Radio and also at : http://biblefalseprophet.com

David Webster is a Catholic convert and former Baptist pastor.

His website is : saveourchurch.org

He commented on some of FP’s statements and Lutheran doctrine/teachings: 

(on 3 Nov. 2016)

The call for Christian unity is not only needed but it is an urgent matter as has been presented but the view that somehow “we closed in on ourselves out of fear or bias with regard to the faith which others profess with a different accent and language” is utter nonsense.

The “Reformation” of Luther was no mere difference in accent or language! Luther’s profession was a contradiction to the faith!

And are we to even believe that the Reformation helped give greater centrality to sacred Scripture in the Church’s life? What contribution could Luther and the “reformers” have given us in making the Sacred Scriptures central in the Church who denigrated, denied and then stripped the Scriptures of seven of its books?

Had Luther had his way The Revelation to St. John and the Letter of St. James would have also been discarded! The alleged supreme respect for Scripture by the Reformers is merely a cleverly devised myth and its proven even by its wilful ignoring of Catholic teaching within the remnant of Scripture they have left.

What could not be ignored had to be mistranslated. This includes the mis-translation of Acts 10:22 because it denied the Reformed doctrine of total depravity. (See separate post on total Depravity)

 

Francis signed Statement: “we are profoundly thankful for the spiritual and theological gifts received through the Reformation”  on 2 Nov. 2026

If Francis is “profoundly thankful for the spiritual and theological gifts” why does he not list even just one of them? No, he cannot because there are none!

If he dared to rise the straw man issue of Luther exposing the so called “selling of indulgences” he not only would be shot down but it would be turned on him for the hypocrisy that this charge actually was. The abuse of giving for divine favor first of all is always on the part of the giver who has an unholy spirit and motive. Second, it was Luther who gained the support of the German princes for his rebellion and heretical Church over which he made himself pope by promising them the riches he robbed from the Catholic Church in Germany! I do not think Francis is ready to call outright theft and bribery a spiritual gift –quite yet.

And what are these “many differences” that “have been overcome,” in the 50 years of ecumenical dialog?

Finally Mr. Fraudcis, we do NOT ”cast off any “remaining disagreements,” we resolve them with an understanding of and surrender to the Truth! We do not believe Truth changes. We do not worship the “Christ” who changes, the false Christ, the false Light, the god of your favorite Theologian Cardinal Kasper. His theology is not serene as you have publicly claimed but is utterly diabolical, patently and literally Luciferian. Birds of a feather flock together.

 

Lutheran Intercommunion is Impossible!

6 Reasons Why Lutheran Intercommunion Isn’t Possible

From: http://www.onepeterfive.com/6-reasons-why-lutheran-intercommunion-isnt-possible/

Father Brian Harrison, O.S. November 1, 2016

The joint proposal to work towards shared Eucharistic communion, signed yesterday in Lund, Sweden, by Pope Francis and the President of the Lutheran World Federation (whose member churches, by the way, generally support abortion and same-sex “marriage”), is extremely troubling. For the following facts must be remembered:

1) Lutherans do not believe in the Sacrifice of the Mass (which Luther himself constantly and virulently execrated as a diabolical abomination). This disbelief is condemned infallibly with anathema by  the Council of Trent (DS 1751-1759 = Dz 948-956) – a judgment solemnly confirmed by Pope Paul VI in his 1968 Credo of the People of God (“Solemn Profession of Faith”).

2) Nor do Lutherans believe in the transubstantiation of the bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ. This denial is also solemnly anathematized by Trent (DS 1652 = Dz 884). Again, Paul VI solemnly confirms this point of our Faith in his 1965 Encyclical Mysterium Fidei and in the 1968 ‘Credo’.

3) They believe the Body and Blood of Christ become present in what remains bread and wine, but that this type of presence in any case ceases as soon as the distribution of Communion is over. Condemned with anathema by Trent (DS 1654 = Dz 886), and also again by Paul VI in MF and  the 1968 ‘Credo’.

4) Following logically from the above, Lutherans reject the reservation of the remaining Hosts in the tabernacle after Mass. Condemned with anathema by Trent (DS 1657 = Dz 889), and also again by Paul VI in MF and  the 1968 ‘Credo’.

5) With equal consistency, Lutherans reject Eucharistic adoration outside of Mass and Eucharistic processions. Condemned with anathema by Trent (DS 1656 = Dz 888), and also again by Paul VI in the aforesaid documents.

With at least five anathemas against Lutheran heresies regarding the Eucharist, there is no condemnation by the Council of Trent of the idea ofintercommunion with these separated brethren. But that’s simply because the idea would have been considered so utterly outlandish and totally unthinkable at that time that in fact, well, . . . nobody on either side did even think of it, as far as we know – much less propose it.

Nevertheless, intercommunion with Lutherans (and other Protestants) is indeed strictly prohibited by the present Code of Canon Law. In a ruling which is clearly linked inseparably to divine law about the importance of receiving the Body of Christ worthily (cf. I Cor. 11: 27-30), canon 844 #4 rules that not even in danger of death may any non-Catholic Christian be given Holy Communion unless he/she “demonstrates the Catholic faith in respect of [this Sacrament]”.

Pope Francis’ words and actions yesterday in Sweden therefore raise extremely grave questions. To me they are beyond comprehension. How can they escape the charge of constituting a betrayal of our faith in the central mystery of Catholic worship?

 

Popes Paul VI, John XXIII, La Salette and Masonry

+AM+DG+

By TtCrusader

Paul VI’s quote mentioned in your article was on 29 June 1972, the feast of St Peter and Paul, i.e. the feast day of the papacy.

“From some fissure the smoke of Satan has entered the temple of God.”

3) He also said, on December 7, 1969

“The Church finds herself in a period of anxiety, of self-criticism, one could say of self-destruction. It is like an internal upheaval, serious and complex–as if the Church were flagellating herself.”

You do not have to be a rocket scientist to figure out that the aforementioned “fissure” was opened up by John 23rd  when he announced the second Vatican Council,  3 months after his questionable election in 1958:

“Throw open the windows of the church and let the fresh air of the spirit blow through.” ~ 

As some, or now many, of us can very, very, very, clearly see, that, after the 50 years of grey that followed the 1933 years of black and white, the fresh air that John 23rd let into the Vatican has turned out to be, as Paul VI so correctly discerned,  the masonic smoke of satan, fulfilling the first part of the La Salette prophecy of 170 years ago where Mary said, 

“Rome will lose the faith ….”, 

and we are living through, right now, the end game of this window opening infiltration of ecclesial masonry, this final faux papacy of the false prophet of the Apocalyse, the 2nd Beast of Revelation 13, who has prepared (what’s left of) the Catholic Church for the entry of the antichrist, the first Beast of Revelation 13, after the Abomination of Desolation when Jesus will be removed from his own house, so that very, very, very soon, the second part of the La Sallette prophecy may be fulfilled, 

“… and become the seat of the antichrist”.

(TtCrusader also sent me the masonic plan as described in last post. Seems to be the same source: “From the column «Storia» of the magazine:«Teologica» n. 14 – March/April 1998 – pages 22-25; Edition Segno – Udine – Italia”)

P.S. I just noticed that Pope John XXIII said “spirit” not “Holy Spirit” (??? See masonic plan)

A church in Change: Part 2: The Masonic Plan and its Implementation.

+AM+DG+

If you have read the former post “A church in Change: Part 1: A personal reflection” what you read below will resonate with you, especially if you are old enough to remember the changes as they occurred.)

The Masonic Plan For The Destruction Of The Catholic Church

A French priest who has renounced his membership of Freemasonry, announced this Masonic plan that he followed when he was part of the sect.

Translated from: http://www.preghiereagesuemaria.it/sala/il%20piano%20massonico%20per%20la%20distruzione%20della%20chiesa.htm Also: http://tracceinfinito.blogspot.it/2012/07/il-piano-massonico-per-la-distruzione.html http://lachiamatadimaria.forumfree.it/? I, Father Joseph Dwight, translated this document from an Italian translation in September 2013.

Directives of the Grand Master of the Masons to the Catholic Bishops, effective since 1962. (Updating of Vatican II).

All mason brethren will have to report on the progress of these crucial provisions. Revised in October 1993 as a progressive plan for the final stage. All Masons employed in the Church must welcome them and carry them out.
  1. Remove once and for all St. Michael, the protector of the Catholic Church, from all the prayers within the Mass and outside of the Mass. Remove the statues, saying that they distract from the Adoration of Christ.
  2. Remove the Penitential Exercises of Lent such as abstinence from meat on Fridays or even fasting; impede every act of self-sacrifice. In their place should be favored acts of joy, happiness and love of neighbor. You say, “Christ has already won for us Paradise” and “every human effort is useless.” Tell everyone that they must be seriously concerned about their health. Encourage the consumption of meat, especially pork.
  3. *Assign the Protestant ministers to reconsider the Holy Mass and to desecrate it. Sown doubts about the Real Presence in the Eucharist and confirm that the Eucharist – with greater proximity to the Protestant faith – is only bread and wine and is intended as a pure symbol. **Spread Protestants in seminaries and schools. Encourage ecumenism as the path towards unity. Accuse anyone who believes in the Real Presence as subversive and disobedient to the Church. *
  4. Prohibited the Latin liturgy of the Mass, adoration and songs, because they communicate a sense of mystery and deference. Present them as spells of soothsayers. People will stop considering the priests as men of superior intelligence, to be respected as bearers of the Divine Mysteries.
  5. Encourage women not to cover their heads with a veil in church. The hair is sexy. Demand woman readers and women priests. Present the idea as democracy. Found a movement of women’s liberation. Those who enter the church should dressed badly in order to feel at home. This will reduce the importance of the Mass.
  6. Prevent the faithful from taking Holy Communion kneeling. Tell the nuns that they must dissuade the children from keeping their hands together before and after Communion. Tell them that God loves them as they are and that they should feel completely at ease. * Eliminate in the church kneeling and any genuflection. Remove the pews. Tell people that during the Mass they must show their faith in an upright position.
  7. Eliminate the sacred music of the organ. Introduce the guitar, jew’s harps, drums, trampling and holy laughter in the churches. This distracts people from their personal prayer and conversations with Jesus. Do not give Jesus the time to call children to the religious life. *Perform liturgical dances around the altar in exciting clothes, theaters and concerts.
  8. *Remove the sacred character from the songs to the Mother of God and of St. Joseph. Indicate their veneration as idolatry. Render ridiculous those who persist. Introduce Protestant songs. This will give the impression that the Catholic Church finally admits that Protestantism is the true religion, or at least that it is equal to the Catholic Church.

9 Eliminate all the hymns even those to Jesus because they make the people think of happiness and serenity that comes from the life of mortification and penance for God already from childhood. Introduce new songs only to convince people that the previous rites were somehow false. Make sure that in every Mass that there is at least one in which Jesus is not mentioned and instead *speaks only of love for men. The youth will be thrilled to hear about the love of neighbor. Preach love, tolerance and unity. Do not mention Jesus, prohibit any announcements of the Eucharist.

  1. Remove all the relics of saints and later also from the Altars themselves. Replace them with pagan tables not consecrated which can be used to offer human sacrifices during satanic masses. Eliminate the Ecclesiastical law which wants the celebration of the Holy Mass only on Altars containing relics.
  2. Discontinue the practice of celebrating the Holy Mass in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament in the Tabernacle. Do not admit any Tabernacle on the Altars that are used for the celebration of the Holy Mass. The board should have the appearance of a kitchen table. It must be transportable to express that it is not at all sacred but must serve a dual purpose as, for example, a table for conferences or for play cards on it. Later place a chair at that table. The priest must take that position to indicate that after the Communion he rests as after a meal. The *priest must never kneel during the Mass or do genuflections. At meals, in fact, no one ever kneels. The chair of the Priest must be placed in the place of the Tabernacle. Encourage the people to worship and also to adore the priest instead of the Eucharist, to obey him instead of the Eucharist. Tell the people that the priest is Christ, their leader. Place the Tabernacle in a separate room, out of sight.
  3. Let the saints disappear from the Ecclesiastical calendar, leaving always some at fixed times. Prohibit the priests from preaching about the Saints, except for those that are mentioned in the Gospel. Tell the people that any Protestants, probably in the church, could be scandalized. Avoid anything that disturbs the Protestants.
  4. In the Gospel reading omit the word “holy”, for example, instead of “the Gospel according to St. John,“ simply say: “Gospel according to John.” This will make the people think that they should not venerate the saints anymore. Continuously write new bibles so that they will identical to the Protestant ones. Omit the adjective “Holy” in the expression “Holy Spirit”. This will pave the way. Emphasize the feminine nature of God as a mother full of tenderness. Eliminate the use of the term “Father.”
  5. Try to get all the personal books of piety to disappear and destroy them. As a consequence of this the Litanies of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, of the Mother of God, of St. Joseph will cease also as the preparation for Holy Communion. The thanksgiving after Communion will become superfluous as well.
  6. Cause to disappear also all of the statues and images of the Angels. Why should the statues of our enemies get in the way? Define them as myths or good night stories. Do not let the talk on the Angels since this perturbs our Protestant friends.
  7. Repeal minor exorcisms to expel demons: work on this, announcing that the devils do not exist. Explain that this is the method adopted in the Bible to describe evil and that without a wicked one there cannot exist interesting stories. As a result people will not believe in the existence of hell nor will they be afraid to ever fall into hell. Repeat that hell is nothing more than the distance from God and that there is nothing terrible in that if we are basically speaking about the same life as here on earth.
  8. Teach that Jesus was only a man who had no brothers and sisters and who hated the holders of power. Explain that he loved the company of prostitutes, especially of Mary Magdalene, who did not know what to do with churches and synagogues. Tell them that he advised not to obey the leaders of the Clergy, explained that he was a great teacher but deviated from the correct path when he neglected to obey the leaders of the church. Discourage the discussion on the cross as a victory, on the contrary present it as a failure.
  9. Remember that you can induce the sisters to the betrayal of their vocation if you will concentrate on their vanity, charm and beauty. Have them change their Ecclesiastical habit and that will naturally lead them throw away their rosaries in disapproval. This will dry up their vocations. Tell the nuns that they will not be accepted if they do not renounce their habit. Favor the discredit of the ecclesiastical habit also among the people.
  10. Burn all catechisms. Tell the teachers of religion to teach to love God’s creatures instead of God Himself. To love openly is a testimony of maturity. Let the term “sex” become a household word in your daily religion classes. Make sex a new religion. Introduce images of sex in religious lessons to teach children the reality. Make sure that the images are clear. Encourage schools to become progressive thinkers in the field of sex education. Introduce sex education through the Bishop’s authority so parents will have nothing against it.
  11. Suffocate the Catholic schools, preventing the vocations of the nuns. Reveal to the nuns that they are underpaid social workers and that the Church is about to eliminate them. Insist that the lay Catholic teacher receive the same wage as those of government schools. Use non catholic teachers. The Priests must receive the same salary as the corresponding secular employees. All priests must put away their Clerical Robe and their crosses so as to be accepted by everyone. Render ridiculous those who do not conform.
  12. Annihilate the Pope, destroying his Universities. Detach the Universities from the Pope, saying that in this way the government might subsidize them. Replace the names of religious institutes with profane names, in order to favor of ecumenism. For example, instead of “School of the Immaculate Conception,” you say, “New High School”. Establish departments of ecumenism in all the dioceses and take that they be controlled by the protestant side. Prohibited prayers for the Pope and for Mary because they discourage ecumenism. Announced that the local bishops are the competent authorities. Uphold that the Pope is merely a figurehead. Explain to the people that the Papal Teaching is useful only for conversation but which is otherwise unimportant.
  13. Fight Papal Authority, putting an age limit on his activity. Reduce the age limit gradually, explaining that you want to preserve him from excessive work.
  14. Be bold. Weaken the Pope by introducing Episcopal synods. The Pope will then become only a figurehead as in England where the High chamber and the Low chamber reign and from them the queen receives orders. Then weaken the authority of the Bishop, giving rise to a concurrent institution at the level of the priests. Say that in this way the priests receive the attention they deserve. Finally weaken the authority of the priest with the formation of groups of lay people who dominate the Priests. In this way you will give rise to such a hatred that even Cardinals will abandon the Church and then the Church will be democratic … the New Church …
  15. Reduce the vocations to the priesthood, making the laymen lose their awe of it. The public scandal of a Priest will destroy thousands of vocations. Praise priests who for the love of a woman abandoned everything, defining them as heroes. Honor Priests reduced to the lay state as true martyrs, the oppressed to the point of not being able to endure anymore. Also condemned as a scandal that our mason brethren in the priesthood must be made known and their names published. Be tolerant with homosexuality within the Clergy. Tell the people that priests suffer from loneliness.
  16. Begin to close the churches due to the shortage of clergy. Defined as good and economical this practice. Explain that God hears prayers everywhere. In this manner the churches become an extravagant waste of money.* Close above all the churches in which they practice traditional piety.
  17. Use committees of lay people and priests weak in faith who might condemn and reprehend without difficulty every apparition of Mary and apparent miracle especially of the Archangel St. Michael. Make sure that nothing of this, in no measure, will receive approval according to Vatican II. Call it disobedience to authority if anyone obeys the Revelations or even if someone reflects on them. Indicate the Seers as disobedient against Ecclesiastical Authority. Bring down their good name in the mud, so that no one will hold in consideration their Message.
  18. Elect an Antipope. Affirm that he will bring back the Protestants in the Church and perhaps even the Jews. An Antipope will be able to be elected if the Bishops might be given the right to vote. In this way many Antipopes will receive votes so that an Antipope will be installed in office as a compromise. Affirm that the true Pope is dead.
  19.  Remove Confession before Holy Communion for the students of the second and third grade so that they do not care anything about Confession when they will go to the fourth or fifth grades and then the upper classes. Confession then will disappear. *Introduce (in silence) communal confession with absolution as a group. Explain to the people that this happens due to the shortage of clergy.
  20. Have the distributing of Communion done by women and lay people. You say that this is the time of the laity. Begin with giving Communion in the hand, as do the Protestants, rather than on the tongue. Explain that Christ did it the same way. Collect some hosts for “black masses” in our temples. Afterwards distribute instead of the personal Communion a cup of unconsecrated hosts that one can bring home with them. Explain to them that in this way they one can take the divine gifts into everyday life. Place automatic dispensers of hosts for communions and name these Tabernacles. Tell them that they must be exchanged peace signs. Encourage people to move into the church to interrupt devotion and prayer. Do not make Signs of the Cross; in place of it instead a sign of peace. Explain that also Christ got up to greet the Disciples. Do not allow any concentration in such moments. The Priests must turn their back to the Eucharist and honor the people.
  21. After the Antipope has been elected, dissolve the synod of bishops as well as the associations of priests and parish councils. Forbid all religious to question, without permission, these new provisions. Explain that God loves humility and hates those who aspire to glory. Accuse of disobedience against Ecclesiastical authority all those who raise questions. Discourage obedience to God. Tell the people that they must obey these higher ecclesiastics.
  22. Give the Pope (= Antipope) the maximum power to choose their successors. Order under pain of excommunication all those who love God, to bear the mark of the beast. Do not call it though the “sign of the beast.” The Sign of the Cross should not be done nor used on people or through them (you should not bless anymore). To make the Sign of the Cross will be designated as idolatry and disobedience.
  23. Declare previous dogmas as false, except Papal Infallibility. Proclaim Jesus Christ as a failed revolutionary. Announce that the true Christ will soon come. Only the elected Antipope must be obeyed. Tell the people that they must bow when his name is uttered.
  24. Order all the subjects of the Pope to fight in holy crusade to extend the one-world religion. Satan knows where one finds all the lost gold. Conquer the world without pity! All this will bring to humanity all that it has always craved: “the golden age of peace.”

Comments from Remnant Survivor:

*3.  The Commission that made the changes to the  Mass after Vatican II, consisted of Protestant Ministers and one Catholic cardinal who happened to be a freemason.  The average Catholic did not know that this commission was not all Catholic. I guess it was in the name of “ecumenism”. After it was issued, and before it was implemented  a good Catholic Cardinal (Cardibal Ottaviani) told the Pope that if he approved this Mass, he would be a heretic, so minor changes were made so that this would not happen. It was called the Ottaviani Intervention.” **Also Bela Dodd (1940’S /50’S) as a communist introduced 1000’s into seminaries>

*6. Pews were not eliminated, but kneelers certainly were. We still kneel during the Consecration, but there have been parishes, which remain standing. Whan I was teaching, and we has School masses in the School Hall, everyone would remain standing because it would be too noisy with the (plastic) chairs being moved around and scraped on the floor, and also because the floor was wooden and not carpeted.

*7. This also happened in our parish, but the girls wore respectful all in one, loose flowing, white gowns.

*9. We have many of these songs now.

*11. Guess which priest never genuflects

… I left some for you… but just 2 more:

*25. This happened fairly recently in the U.S. where a traditional Latin Mass church was closed and on nearby, which had welcomed homosexuals  was allowed to remain open.

*28. This happened in 1990’s, and was very popular, but after enough people complained, it was corrected.

You may notice, that some have happened under our present Pf. e.g. “sex education introduced by the bishop” with “graphic pictures”.

A Church in Change: Part 1: A Personal Reflection

+AM+DG+

Being Catholic Pre Vatican II

When Vatican II ended, I was in my mid teens. I remember very well, my Catholic schooling, the Latin Masses, women wearing head coverings inside the church, the hymns, the Parish missions, devotions such as Eucharistic Processions. We usually wore hats. It wasn’t until the late 60’s/early 70’s that “mantillas” or “veils” became popular. It wasn’t until after this, that women started to not wear head coverings. We were encouraged, when passing a church, to pop in and “visit” Jesus in the tabernacle. If we didn’t have a head covering, we all had clean cotton handkerchiefs (usually white), so we simply put it on our head. Women were not allowed in the sanctuary. Usually nuns did the cleaning.

The hymns at a “Low” Mass were in English. In fact, the only Latin hymn we knew was “O Sanctissima”. “High Masses”, in the ordinary parish only occurred on special occasions – maybe once a year. When we went to Mass, we had a Missal. The children had children’s missals. As soon as we could read, we would follow the Mass with our missals. Children had children’s missals with simple language and pictures of the priest on every page, to help us follow. We would “pray the Mass” with the priest – not out loud, but silently with a meditative concentration. There was a “sacred Silence” and an air of sacredness – no distractions. No-one would dream of speaking in Church (let alone have a gossip session – which is a common occurrence now).

Each year we would have a Parish Mission, run by the Redemptorists. We would attend each evening for a whole week. The workers would make a special effort to go also, even though they had to get up early for work (or school for us children).

We knew Protestants hated us, and children would have rhymes with which they teased Catholics. In my late teens, I noticed that when applying for a job, many ads said “Catholics need not apply”. The world hating us was just part of being Catholic. It didn’t worry us. We were proud to be Catholic.

There was also a Catholic Radio station, which was quite competitive against the other radio stations. I remember the famous “Dr Rumble” (a priest evangelist) would have a show on Sunday nights. His famous answers to people’s questions (often protestants) can still be found on the ‘net.

Religion lessons in Primary school came from the “Green Catechism” (Q and A style) and the Junior Bible History. The latter was basically a children’s bible. These lessons also included lots of stories of the saints and their heroic feats – children love stories!!! During the last year of primary school, we also had a book called ‘Pray the Mass” which described the prayers, and actions of the Mass and what they meant. We were told to go to Confession once a month, and so each Saturday afternoon you could see the long lines for Confession. It was a good education in the basic doctrine and teachings of the Church.

Changes after Vatican II and their impact

I don’t remember any particular announcements about the changes. We just took them in our stride. We trusted our priests, the Vatican and the Pope. There were new rules – priests had to keep to the topic of the Readings / Gospel in the homily. This meant that saints were not mentioned, and that moral issues, confession, purgatory, hell were no longer mentioned. This was the time when contraception was becoming freely available, but there were never any homilies about this issue. Nothing was ever said. If you asked a priest, you were usually told that it was a matter of conscience. (But we didn’t know that a conscience had to be properly formed). Although, there was a light in this darkness – “Natural Family Planning” – but many, if not most, took the easy way out, not having been told anything to the contrary.

Things didn’t change all at once. It all happened very slowly. The ordinary Catholic thought not much of it – after all, “the Pope said so”. What we were told was simply that the Vatican Council had determined that the Mass could be in the vernacular language. That seemed reasonable to most people. It was still the same Mass. If we could have seen the church 50 years later, there would have been a revolt. The first thing that I remember, was the Our Father was said in English and by the people (not just the priest), and the sitting and kneeling was altered. It all took years. In fact, the changes never stopped.

Eventually, most tabernacles were removed from the centre of the front of the Church; the beautiful high altars were removed and replaced with a plain flat “table”. When this happened, the “president’s chair was placed in the middle – right where the tabernacle used to be. The congregation no longer was inspired by the Tabernacle and the Sacred Presence within it, but the priest, who was now the centre of attention.

The Offertory Procession, Prayers of the Faithful and the Sign of peace and “the Mystery of Faith” were introduced. Much later, genuflections were being replaced by simple “bows”. I always had an aversion to the Sign of Peace, because, having been brought up with the sense of sacredness, we had to turn to each other, and to the people behind us. It was after the consecration. Jesus, our King was present and we were ignoring Him and turning away from Him and greeting everyone else.

Proclaiming the ‘Mystery of Faith” always puzzled me. I knew (because it was drummed into us as children) that the Mystery of Faith was that “Jesus was present, Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity in the Sacred host.” If that was true, how could “Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again” be a mystery. That’s history, it’s fact -not a mystery. “We proclaim your death Lord Jesus until you come again” – how can  that be a mystery? I didn’t realize, till afterwards, that the words “Mystery of faith” were taken out of the words which the priest says at the Consecration of the Blood”. They were now in the wrong place!

Other things started to change – Communion in the hand and no longer kneeling, and Mass facing the people. When receiving Our Lord, we no longer received the beautiful blessing of the priest’s prayer – he just simply said “The body of Christ” and we answered “Amen”. I always wondered why he said this – “didn’t everyone know that it was the Body of Christ”? Why do we have to say” Amen”?

In my final year of High School (1968), we were at the very forefront of the “folk Mass” with guitars and trendy new hymns. By the late 1980’s “liturgical dancing “was common and a ‘way of including the young’. My own daughters were involved in this and one of them was the leader and choreographer – (thankfully always under the direction of the priest).

Women Eucharistic Ministers became the norm. Priests were no longer in control of their parish – they were dictated to the members of the Parish Council. I myself became a Eucharistic minister because I was asked to do so. I can’t believe I was so trusting and naive! We had a music ministry – with guitars, drums, etc – especially for the “Youth Masses”

My awakening

By the mid 1990’s, I became aware of Fr Gobbi and other prophecies. As I started to read more, I became alarmed at what I was seeing at Mass. I read much about Communion in the hand and Eucharistic ministers -especially women. I remembered how we were always taught that only consecrated hands could touch the Sacred Species or even the chalices, ciboriums, etc. I could not believe that I fell for it. I knew all that. We were taught in Primary School. We were taught well. We knew it all!! I had forgotten and was just swept along with all the changes. Then I discovered prophecies – Garabandal first, then La Salette.

A priest in our parish allowed children (it was a children’s liturgy) to come up beside him on the altar and a child on either side of him was chosen to hold up the Chalice and Ciborium at the Consecration! I couldn’t believe it – I had to get out of there. At one time, this same priest didn’t wear his chasuble – but I think he was corrected, and didn’t do it again. (This was about 20 years ago! Today, this would not surprise us.)

My brother was an Acolyte in a neighbouring parish. He was 10 years older than me and was an altar server in the Latin Mass when he was young. He too started to become alarmed. He would often see fragments of the Sacred Host scattered on the altar and on the floor. They would simply be swept up, or vacuumed – Jesus in the rubbish! It traumatised him. Needless to say, we both resigned from our “Eucharistic Minister’s” role.

Despite all this, I thought we had a good parish with many devout people, and loved my parish to which I had belonged for 30 years. We had all day Adoration every day (For more than 20 years now… it still occurs). It was difficult to just walk away, but I couldn’t stay. We began to realize what we were missing and pining for. We had to find it again!

My daughter’s (Donna Liane) journey: (When Donna read this post – we always bounce our thoughts and ideas off each other- she suggested that I add her thoughts as well):

“I’m younger. I was practicing devoutly like you, Mum, but at a N.O. Mass. Then I met a holy, old Italian man at (L..) Parish. He wrote Vandals in the Church. I read about all the abuses, including Communion in the hand and Eucharistic ministers too. I spoke to my priest who told me not to worry so much but I resigned from the Ministry. I went to the Maronite Mass too. As soon as I could, I followed you to go to the Latin. It was so Holy! I couldn’t believe they took it from us! I knew nothing from my 70-80s schooling. I learnt fast!”

Home again

Each week we would go to a different Mass. We ended up at the Maronite Church which had an English version for their youth. One day, we somehow (in God’s amazing way), became involved in the Pilgrims of St Michael, who were visiting our country from Canada. While we were showing them around, somehow we were led to a new Latin Mass apostolate in our area – Masses were held in a converted room.

The first time I went, I felt I was home. So did my husband. I have learnt a lot since. You do, when attending a Traditional Mass. I have been blessed to return to the Latin Mass of my youth – for over 15 years now. I still attend Novus Ordo Masses when I have no other choice, but I choose what I think are conservative parishes with conservative priests.

This brings me to the point: Masonry in the Church.

I didn’t know any of this stuff. I came across a booklet in the mid 1990’s about the Masonic Plan for the destruction of the Church. This opened my eyes. It was so obvious. Everything began to fall into place, but it was still another 5 or so years before we would act on our intuition.

At the time, I was worried about my children – in their mid twenties – but they took to the Latin Mass right away. They loved it. The sad part is that younger people who did not live through pre Vatican II have no idea what they have missed – not just the Mass, but how much MORE “catholic” we were then.

The other day I came across this information about freemasons again on the net. I had seen it about 20 years ago and was shocked at what I read, and the things that had already been implemented. I could relate to Communion in the hand, the homilies without saints, the hymns without the names of Jesus – hymns which sounded more like songs; nuns who no longer wore their habits, priests whom you have to struggle to identify as a priest when in public. When you read the 33 point plan – you can see the points they achieved, the ones they sort of did, but not totally according to their plans, and the ones that are being implemented under the ‘antipope’ (their words) and the ones that will be implemented under the one world religion, which have yet to be implemented.

Stay tuned!!!

Reading from theBible (NAB)

 

Psalm 94: 7-23

They say, “The LORD does not see; the God of Jacob takes no notice.”

8Understand, you stupid people! You fools, when will you be wise?

9Does the one who shaped the ear not hear? The one who formed the eye not see?

10Does the one who guides nations not rebuke? The one who teaches man not have knowledge?

11The LORD knows the plans of man; they are like a fleeting breath.

12Blessed the one whom you guide, LORD, whom you teach by your instruction,

13To give rest from evil days, while a pit is being dug for the wicked.

14For the LORD will not forsake his people, nor abandon his inheritance.

15Judgment shall again be just, and all the upright of heart will follow it.

16Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand up for me against evildoers?

17If the LORD were not my help, I would long have been silent in the grave.

18When I say, “My foot is slipping,” your mercy, LORD, holds me up.

19When cares increase within me, your comfort gives me joy.

20Can unjust judges be your allies, those who create burdens by decree,

21Those who conspire against the just and condemn the innocent to death?

22No, the LORD is my secure height, my God, my rock of refuge,

23Who will turn back their evil upon them and destroy them for their wickedness.

Surely the LORD our God will destroy them!

Readings from the Book of Truth

2. When you defend My Word, you will be deemed to be cruel, unkind and lacking in sympathy to those who do not believe in God

5th August, 2013

My dearly beloved daughter, how I weep with sadness when I see the terrible division which looms within My Church on Earth. The bitterness of My Agony is eased though, by those who truly love Me and who already feel concern for the way in which My Body is being treated.

You must never feel the need to accept any deed, action or words which are against Me. If you feel uncomfortable with what you witness within my Church, by those who swear that they are in union with Me, when they desecrate My Body, you must follow your heart. I Am with you every second of this great apostasy and for those who will continue to call out to Me, I will open your eyes to the Truth, so that you will remain true to Me.

The time is almost upon you now. The doors of My Church will soon be closed to those who will insist on remaining loyal to the traditional practices of Christianity. These doors will be slammed in your faces when you bear witness to Me. Your faith will be ridiculed, in the most cunning way, so that when you defend My Word, you will be deemed to be cruel, unkind and lacking in sympathy to those who do not believe in God.

You will be scolded if you are a sacred servant of Mine and you will be made to answer for your allegiance to Me. Gather now, all of you. I demand that you do not deny Me. I will protect you, so that you can serve Me. I will help you by lifting your burden. All the Graces of Heaven will be poured down upon you.

Warning to Priests:

I will cut down all those of you who follow the false church – the church of the beast – when it is presented to you. Follow this new church and you will be selling your souls to the beast. Instead of saving souls, in My Name, you will be responsible for handing them over to eternal Hell.

I Am telling you the Truth now, so that you are given ample time to prepare for this day, as it is not far away.

Your Jesus

3. Media and Other Censorships to come

     1st January, 2011

My beloved daughter, the time has come for yet another year when my beloved children will learn more from me, about how to adapt their lives so that when I come as judge, mankind will be ready. My beautiful children, all of whom I hold close to my sacred heart, you must listen to Me now. I will never forsake you when you recognise me and the truth of the new paradise – the promise I gave you all before I died on the cross for your sins. The time is drawing close now, my beloved children. Never fear. If you love Me and believe in Me what is there to fear? For love is not fearful. Love is joy, happiness and for all of you who believe in the eternal life in heaven, there is nothing to fear. I love you all

.
Mother of God’s role in second coming of Christ
My beloved mother, who was responsible for taking up the chalice of accepting my existence, at the moment of conception to herald a new beginning for mankind, will also herald my second coming. I will redeem all those who turn to Me for mercy.  mother, sent by the Eternal Father to bring redemption and salvation to the world, will stand by Me this second time. My beloved mother, the angel of light, will now triumph to deliver my  mercy and herald my second coming on earth. My devoted mother, the Immaculate Conception, as Mediatrix, will help prepare the world for my second coming. She has been preparing mankind for many centuries, but has now, in the last 100 years, been trying to instil love in your hearts, to ignite the sometimes stagnate love you have for me and my eternal father. There was a time when My mother, who, through divine manifestation, would command attention on earth. Sadly, since Fatima and Garabandal, few of my sacred servants take her divine apparitions seriously, nor are her visionaries, the chosen few, taken seriously.

This time, as the year 2011 commences, many, many changes in the world are now about to take place.This is because the world, my children, as you once knew it is about to change.

Secret of Fatima – connection with future
So many of you innocent and trusting souls fail to grasp the evil that is about to unfold. My children, and I include those reading these messages for the first time out of curiosity who may feel a gap in your spiritual welfare, listen now. You and your fellow brothers and sisters are being led into a world dictated by the group, foretold in the last secret of Fatima, to which you are not privy, where you will soon find the following.

1.Your money will be worthless and the only way to trade will be in gold or silver.
2.You will need to pray in groups and find a sacred servant, brave enough, to stand up before the persecution.
3.You must find shelters for prayer because your churches will be sold for monetary gain.
4.Hold onto scripture, you may never have read them before, but be assured, copies will be impossible to buy in the future.
5.Set up prayer groups to pray for the salvation of mankind. In three years’ time you will understand why this is important.
Media Censorship
To the media, I have this to say. As communicators to the world, the arrogance you display today will turn to despair when your word is no longer heard. You too will soon realise the importance of prayer when mankind turns from the truth. Your word today can still represent the important independent truth.
but this gift will now be taken away from you. Instead, the truth will now be hidden from mankind through the dictatorship you are about to witness during the great tribulation. Then your word will be denied just as My word is.
The “secret channel” of communication
No one will listen to you because the only word delivered to mankind, which will have any impact, will be by the secret channel delivered to the world through technology. You will find yourself in the wilderness and will end up trying to communicate to a disbelieving world, just as I do at this point in time, when your word is not heard. Beware of dictators. Have no fear those of you, irrespective as to which path you follow God, just hear me now. Fight those who impose dictatorship in your world, for they are of satan. Never be fooled by them no matter how much they pay you to report lies. They will face eternal damnation unless they repent; though time is not on their side. Fight for the freedom to report the injustices you witness. No matter that you believe in me, because when you see this prophecy unfold, then you will realise the truth of My teachings.

Book of Revelation
Today, in a world that may look battered and bruised because of economic collapse it is easy to believe that things will be okay. Yes, my children, in the past that would be a natural assumption, but not so any more.
The plots devised by the core group of organizations, worldwide in every country, joined at the hip of satanic origin, are now ready to spring. Those among you who do not believe in me, will now, finally understand the prophecies contained in My Father’s book and the Book of Revelation. Fear not, my children. Turn to me and speak to me privately in your own words and i will give you the strength, hope and energy to get through this dark passage in the history of mankind.
Those of you reading this message, think carefully. If you doubt the content, then look around you and decide if you dare to consider the signs. Do you notice that your freedom of free will, given to you as a gift from my eternal father, is now being tampered with? I and my eternal father, would never interfere with this divine gift, so sacred a gift is it. But if man decides to accept satan and the flames of hell, then so be it. God, My eternal Father, cannot prevent this. Yet satan will try to take this gift of free will from you.
When you find that your free will is being snatched from you, through powerful forces, over which you have no control, then you will know that the evil one is behind this.

Satan will never win
Please, please keep alert, my precious children. Do not give in. If enough of you pray and stand up, you will save souls. Satan and his army will never win. They can’t. It is impossible. Only God has the power to end this terrible conflict. I, your Saviour and appointed judge, urge you now to stand-up, be courageous and fight for what is right in your hearts, even if you suffer fear. Fear is given to you by satan.
Fear is never put into your hearts by Me or My eternal Father. Put down your guard and open up your heart to love, not fear. Love comes from god. I have told you that love is not something that you feel, unless you open your heart. Love and God the Eternal Father, Creator of this earth, go hand in hand.
They cannot be separated. When they are, then satan is at work. Go now, my children, and make up your minds. Do you want love to envelop you through My Sacred Heart, or fear?
It’s your decision.        Your divine teacher, Saviour and Just Judge of Mercy

 4. Ask and you will receive. Remain silent, tight-lipped and I cannot respond to you

10th August, 2014

My dearly beloved daughter the tides have turned and in their wake will come many changes as foretold. Do not be fearful for I have, many times, given you My Word that all will end with My Great Mercy, which will sweep every soul up into the Light of My Love and Compassion. Fear only My Justice but when it is unleashed know that it will be for the good of others and for the salvation of the world that this is permitted. I carry out punishments only to stop hatred from spreading and to awaken within those souls, blackened by the stain of sin, any love, which may still linger within them so that they will come to Me.

Why does man and, especially the devout man, believe that he knows more than Me? Is more intelligent than He who created him? That his rational evaluation of all things from Me can eradicate My Presence? Man’s arrogance and pride in his own prowess will be his downfall. Man has no power only that, which lies within his soul. Faith, when pure, is a powerful thing and it is through faith and faith alone that I, Jesus Christ, bring you hope, love and joy. Only I can empower man with great gifts but unless he asks Me for these I cannot impose them upon his free will.

Ask and you will receive. Remain silent, tight-lipped and I cannot respond to you because you do not come to Me. Always turn to Me and ask Me for every favour, for I will answer your call every time.  Do not turn your back on Me and say – all will be okay, life will take care of itself. Life must be earned. Eternity is a Gift from God and it is given to those who ask for it. Sadly, many will squander their chance of Eternal Life because they believe that humanity is more powerful than any God who may or may not exist. And so they will dictate their own fate and they will turn their backs on Eternal Life because of the sin of pride, so stubborn are they.

They denied Me in their lives on earth and they will deny Me when I stand before them, arms outstretched, on the Great Day.  They will turn away and walk into the lion’s den from where they will never find a minute’s peace.

Your Jesus
