Five in One Pope! When Cardinal Tagle becomes Pope Francis II he will be made up of five Popes in one: the Vatican II spirit of Paul VI (doctoral dissertation on Paul VI's role in the Council); the smile (reflective of joy found in Christ) of John Paul I; the charisma (gift of attracting people and bringing them closer to Christ and the Church) of John Paul II; the theological mind of Benedict XVI (considered a first rate theologian by peers); and the pastoral heart (simplicity and closeness to the people he serves) of Pope Francis.

By the way.. This is the letter that I'm about to send to our parish priest I wrote down in text before I wrote it on. The letter Here it shall go... Dominus Tecum! I'm Valerie May G. Bustillo "Please read this carefully." And this is my open letter, I have a calling to be a (bride of Christ/consecrated person) But I have a question such as: can a raped girl conceived a child because it became a consecrated person? Because I wish I/we got the chance even if we've been abused, When I was in grade 3 I was molested by a classmate. I had not much idea how eerie was that! And behold my mother was a product of rape, which means my grandmother was assaulted, I understand her pains and traumas. Once I had met my co-student in our school's clinic, I saw her with suicide marks. She said she didn't ask it. So I made her calm she said that she was abused and she didn't want to get pregnant. I told her to tell the truth and we talked to a teacher and wrote down her case. I know that in consecrated virginity Virginity and being childless were required. I'm suffering as a victim but I still wish the church would allow me, to be engaged with the Man of my heart and soul. Many catholic faith defenders told me that a woman who was raped with a child, cannot be a consecrated person, because she's dependent. That's makes me cry a lot. Because it's unfair. Yes, I am childless but I was abused like them! I know their pains and their wishes. So if a woman was raped and with a child I hope she can still be a bride of Christ, without waiting too many years just to raise an unwanted child before she became. I cannot be a consecrated person if they cannot be, that's my vow to the Holy Monstrance of adoration room before the pandemic. I loved our Lord Jesus Christ, So if they cannot, I would just take spiritual director and take a private vow as also allowed for the abused victims with children. I just want to be fair because I was abused too, I also apologize to this country with many abused women and children. I would rather remain single for the rest of my life whether I became a spouse of Christ or not. My actions told it if I loved Him, I'd show mercy to His people. A real spouse of Christ is not selfish, being fair is my cross to carry on! Mia Oration: that God the Father shows love mercy and hope to us survivors who want to be spouses of His begotten Son. Please Padre or Bishop or someone talk to me privately or write back. "Dear Jesus, I can't give to You the gift of every bridegroom's dream to own. But I can do the reasons why You're born" Thanks for reading God bless us all. Shall I send this?

Dear Sister in Christ, I am so sorry for your pain. Cardinal Raymond Burke, who acted as moderator for the United States Conference of Consecrated Virgins for several years stated that his understanding is that in cases where a woman was violated as a girl she may still become a consecrated virgin because it was against her will. My advice is to talk with someone privately (a spiritual director or priest) who can help you on the path to healing and also vocational discernment. Please know of my prayers for you. Take care and know that Jesus, our Eucharistic Bridegroom, holds you close to His Heart and will be your constant companion.

Robert Cardinal Sarah, Prefect emeritus of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments: Firstly, I would like to thank His Excellency Bishop Athanasius Schneider for inviting me to take part in this presentation of his latest book. But how can I not also thank all of you here present for your friendship, and especially for honoring us with your presence. This evening, you have agreed to consecrate your precious time to come and listen to distinguished speakers who help us appreciate this Compendium and the riches of the mystery of our Catholic Faith. At this time of serious crisis in the Church, of confusion, and especially as all too often we hear so many discordant opinions coming from the mouths of so many high-ranking prelates on doctrinal and moral issues, and on the acceptance of ideologies that deny God and His teachings on the nature and mission of man, the publication of the book “Credo: Compendium of the Catholic Faith” is an initiative of great importance, and it has come at the right time. Indeed, a true cacophony reigns today in the teachings of pastors: bishops and priests. They seem to contradict each other. Each one imposes his personal opinion as if it were a certainty. The result is confusion, ambiguity, and apostasy. Great disorientation, deep bewilderment and devastating uncertainties have been inoculated in the souls of many Christian believers. The German philosopher Robert Spaemann aptly described this bewilderment with a quotation from the First Letter of St Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians: “For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?” (1 Cor 14:8). This is precisely why I wrote in my Endorsement: So much is said by so many about the Catholic faith today--some of it is confusing, some is downright erroneous--that we must be profoundly grateful to Bishop Schneider for this faithful, succinct, profound, and truly up-to-date exposition of the teaching of the Catholic Church. Utterly conscious of the duty received at his episcopal consecration faithfully to hand on intact that which he himself has received in the living tradition of the Church, in this Compendium Bishop Schneider invites all men and women of good will to deepen (and even, where necessary, to correct) their knowledge of Catholic doctrine. His clear and concise questions and responses facilitate this, whilst his assiduous notation of sources encourages a deeper exploration of the riches of the Faith. Whilst I am sure that this book will serve Bishop Schneider’s aim of coming to the aid of those little ones who are “who are hungry for the bread of right doctrine,” it will also prove to be an important tool in the essential missionary work of evangelization and apologetics in announcing the Saving Truth of Jesus Christ in our world that so desperately needs it. This book reminds us of the nature and well-structured content of Christian truths. It helps us to believe. But believing presupposes knowing, and knowing implies a commitment of reason to better know, internalize, teach, and transmit. With this book, each of us may be enabled to retrace our own journey of faith, to return to the fundamental sources of the faith as it were, so as to rediscover a serene faith that is not ashamed of itself. This book can help us to discover Jesus Christ more deeply, to love and believe in Him, and to be able to say with St Paul: “For I know whom I have believed, and I am certain that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him, against that day” (2 Tim 1:12). We do not believe in a doctrine, but love a Person, Jesus Christ, in whom we believe. We do not believe in dogmas, ideologies, or the wisdom of this world (1 Cor 2:6), but through our faith in Jesus Christ, each one of us can say: “I believe in Jesus Christ. Nevertheless, I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me” (Gal 2:19-20). We believe in Him who said: “I am the light of the world: he that followeth me, walketh not in darkness, but shall have the light of life” (Jn 8:12). In the absence of light everything becomes confused; it is impossible to tell good from evil. There is an urgent need, then, to see once again that faith is a light, for once the flame of faith dies out all other lights begin to dim. In fact, the light of faith is unique, since it is capable of illuminating every aspect of human existence. A light this powerful cannot come from ourselves but from a more primordial source: in a word, it must come from God. (Lumen fidei, 3-4). When we speak of a crisis in the Church, it is important to point out that the Church, as the Mystical Body of Christ, continues to be ‘one, holy, catholic and apostolic’. The sources of theology and the Church’s doctrinal and moral teaching remain unchanged and unchangeable. The Church, as the continuation and extension of Christ in the world, is not in crisis. It is we, her sinful children, who are in crisis. She enjoys the promise of eternal life: the gates of hell will never prevail against her. Jesus says to Peter: “Tu es Petrus, et super hanc petram aedificabo Ecclesiam meam et portae inferi non praevalebunt adversum eam” (Matthew 16:18). We know and we firmly believe that in her there will always be sufficient light for one who sincerely desires to seek God. St Paul’s appeal to Timothy, his son in the faith, concerns us all: “I charge thee before God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who gave testimony under Pontius Pilate, a good confession… keep that which is committed to thy trust (the deposit), avoiding the profane novelties of words, and oppositions of knowledge falsely so called. Which some promising, have erred concerning the faith” (1 Tim 6:13, 20-21). The deposit of faith continues to be a supernatural divine gift. But today, the crisis of the Church has entered a new phase: the crisis of the Magisterium. Certainly, the authentic Magisterium, as a supernatural function of the Mystical Body of Christ, exercised and guided invisibly by the Holy Spirit, cannot be in crisis; the voice and action of the Holy Spirit are constant, and the truth towards which it leads us is steadfast and unchanging. The Evangelist John tells us: “But when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will teach you all truth. For he shall not speak of himself; but what things soever he shall hear, he shall speak; and the things that are to come, he shall shew you. He shall glorify me; because he shall receive of mine and shall shew it to you. All things whatsoever the Father hath, are mine. Therefore, I said, that he shall receive of mine, and shew it to you” (Jn 16:13-15). Dogma, doctrine, divine Revelation do not change at all. The Church stands before the Lord to adore and glorify Him, and her way of praying and believing, whilst always capable of harmonious growth and enrichment, is essentially unchanging. Lex credendi and lex orandi have walked hand in hand and nourished each other throughout the history of the Church. If we believe that our dogma is like a seed that grows day by day, why should we not see the way we pray and express our dogma in a similar way? Theologians begin the study of their subject by deepening their knowledge of the field, as it is presented to them in the Old Testament, New Testament writings, Church Fathers and finally in the Magisterium of the Church. Only after a long journey may they claim to know the Tradition and develop a theory that is in continuity with previous theology on the one hand, and on the other, offers a current and, in some ways, original perspective on the matter. Without changing doctrine. This is what His Excellency Bishop Schneider wishes to remind us of in his book “Credo: Compendium of the Catholic Faith”. For this we thank him immensely, and I thank you for your patience and indulgent listening.

Who has the deeper theological prowess and higher ecclesial standing? Doctrine of Faith Prefect Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger or Astana, Kazakhstan Auxiliary Bishop Athanasius Schneider? Ratzinger and a committee of top notch theologians upon the orders of Saint Pope John Paul II wrote the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC). About Credo, whether written alone by Schneider or with help of (ultra hard conservative, even schismatic) ghost low rate theologians is crap compared to the CCC.

Jesus is with his one holy catholic and apostolic Church forever. Saint Paul says that the Church is the pillar and foundation of truth” (1 Tim 3:15). So the Church can never be in crisis.

WHO collaborated with PROTESTANT ministers and the FREEMASONS ‼️. ,,and the The FINAL BLOW came with the introduction and approval of a New Mass (NOVUS ORDO ) that was pushed into the BELIEFS of CATHOLICS when in FACT it was a BETRAYAL to CHRIST And The APOSTLES with its totally anti CHATHOLIC FORMULARS and omissions !! read the OTTAVIANI INTERVENTION for more information about the GREAT APOSTASY beginning at the top and was kept HIDDEN.

Confusion abounds, caused by Vatican II. Credo, a Compendium of the Catholic Faith, Part I, Section 3, Chapter 16, written by Bishop Athanasius Schneider elaborates on schism. "564. Who are schismatics? Those who received baptism, yet have been separated from the unity of the Catholic Church by refusing to recognize the Supreme Pontiff or have canonical communion with him and the other members of the Church (e.g., the Orthodox). Nonetheless, there are various positions on what constitutes schism: 1.) One must recognize and submit to Francis to not be schismatic. 2.) One must recognize Francis as pope to not be schismatic but one can resist under certain conditions. 3.) One must say a papacy exists, has existed since the time of Pope St. Peter until now & one must both recognize and submit to it, but see it as being currently vacant. Schismatics, to them, are EO, protestants because they neither recognize nor submit since Luther, and those who submit to Francis on various matters but resist popes from past Councils until now who were all in agreement but who teachings are resisted by and not followed by modernist popes.

I personally think that the Pope should be from a country which has a significant Catholic majority (at least 60% of the country's population), and where Catholic traditions are a significant part of the country's society, e.g. Italy, Spain, Portugal, Poland, Ireland, Croatia, all of Latin America, etc. Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland, no thanks. 🙅🏻‍♂️ In these countries are catholics a minority of the population, and where their number is also decreasing year after year… 😁

It seems that, although, recently, all elected popes had been cardinals, the conclave can elect any Christian as the next Bishop of Rome. If he is not a bishop - previously - he is ordained a bishop. This being said, should we think of some one "out of the box"? What about bishop Georg Ganschwein? I think he is of one mind with Benedict XVI and knows the intra-mural business of the Vatican better than many cardinals.

Georg Gänswein hat selbst keinerlei Ambitionen, Papst zu werden. Er findet sich derzeit im neuen Leben in Freiburg zurecht und wird sich bis auf Weiteres "sie machen Urlaub und dann machen Sie nochmal Urlaub" (Zitat Papst Franziskus) nur noch als Privatmann bis zu seiner Pension in Freiburg und bei ihm angetragenen Auftritten als Erzbischof zeigen. Wer sich mit Erzbischof Gänswein etwas beschäftigt weiß, dass der Mann nicht gänzlich gesund ist. Nach den vielen Jahren im Vatikan, Aufopferung, Krankheit und Kampf gegen Windmühlen hat sich der aufrechte, inzwischen 67jährige Erzbischof Ruhe, Selbstbestimmung und Frieden um sich herum verdient. Katholiken sollten diesbezüglich verständnisvoll sein und nicht egoistisch nur an "ihre Kirche" denken. Danke! Georg Gänswein himself has no ambition to become pope. He is currently finding his way in his new life in Freiburg and for the time being "you go on vacation and then you go on vacation again" (quote from Pope Francis) will only appear as a private citizen until he retires in Freiburg and makes appearances as archbishop at his scheduled appearances . Anyone who has studied Archbishop Gänswein knows that the man is not completely healthy. After many years in the Vatican, sacrifice, illness and fighting against windmills, the upright, now 67-year-old archbishop has earned peace, self-determination and peace around him. Catholics should be understanding about this and not selfishly think only about “their church.” Thanks!
