[@AM-iy6qe]

​@ebaiz40 Let's start with Francis saying all religions are paths to God. He also worshiped pachamamas in the Vatican. Said same sex couples can be blessed. Said who am I to judge when asked about gay marriage. He does not profess the Catholic faith, so he cannot be the Pope.

[@ebaiz40]

@@AM-iy6qe Thanks for your reply. A few point, please read Lumen Gentium (Document from the second Vatican council). but as an introduction, Let me quote St John Paul 2..."[T]he Council [Vatican II] says that the Holy Spirit works effectively even outside the visible structure of the Church, making use of…the common soteriological [salvation-related] root present in all religions." Present in all religions...Note that this is the teaching of the church way before Francis... that is not to say that all religions are the same. When he said "Who am I to judge" was not in the context of gay marriage... he said if a gay person is seeking of God, then who am I to judge. If a gay person is seeking of God, we should encourage them and trust the lord to guide them, not judged them. He did allow a pastoral blessing of same sex couples, but not in their relationship but as individuals seeking a blessing. All sinners get blessings... This does not mean we approve of sins. You do have a point with the Pachamama ritual, I am not sure that it was worship, but was horribly misguided. But please read these things carefully... not all that the news say is tru, left news or right news.

the latín mass is allowed, just ask your bishop and he will let you do it. There is no reason we can't have both latín and novus ordo (Vatican council 2). For background, the changes came because when the bishops were surveyed many of them were worried that the folks doing the latín mass held the view that the novus ordo mass was not valid, this if course is not the position of the catholic church. If you hold the view that novus ordo is not valid, sorry but you are not following catholic teachings. Thus, the bishops are responsible to assure that those doing the latín mass do so out of love for the mass and not out of rejection to the novus ordo mass.

There has been no listening to the concerns of a great nature. The hypocrisy of the current Vatican situation that JD notes re the synod on listening and discussing etc could not be more obvious. It is stark and self evident. Indeed it is horrendous. Check the plank in your own eye first comes to mond. The reality is the Vatican exists in a small world of its own. A comfortable world, a very comfy one for the cardinals and bishops incl the bishop of Rome who reside there.

When I first encountered them, my impression was that they were elitist and sect-like, prioritizing people of wealth, influence, and good appearance. Later, while studying philosophy and theology in the 1990s in Arequipa, I met some Sodalites personally. I came to understand that their staunch opposition to liberation theology was a reaction to the influence of Marxist ideology in a context where violence and resentment hurt Peruvian society. They positioned themselves as defenders of orthodoxy, but this also led to a rigid and insular culture. The revelations of abuses within the group-including manipulation, authoritarianism, and criminal behavior-are deeply disturbing. These cases remind us of the dangers of unchecked power in any organization, especially those with rigid hierarchies. Accountability is essential, but I feel that the recent measures against them go beyond justice and lean toward revenge. Some of the accusers are former members who, now aligned with ideological groups, seem to be exploiting their influence to harm the Sodalites. This raises concerns about fairness and motives. Justice should focus on accountability and healing, not settling ideological scores or deepening divisions. The Sodalites have always been polarizing, caught between their conservative stance and the critiques of their exclusivity and authoritarianism. The Church must ensure a transparent and impartial process-one that rebuilds trust, addresses real harm, and avoids vengeance. True justice must heal, not divide further.

Wait. All they have to do is sell one masterpiece! Would support church for years. One is probably is worth millions$$$$

Those masterpieces are too high priced. Who has enough money to buy one that would support the church for several years. And why would the want to buy it?

Lol. I have to watch the whole thing when I'm free but I recall a bishop telling me that the pensions are quite high. Maybe a few extraordinary options: 1. Get the local church to take over pensions and pay according to what is reasonable. 2. Offer cardinals to retire in a Third World country like Malaysia :)

Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. For the kingdom is the LORDS; and he is the governor among the nations. And the LORD he it is that doth go before thee: he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsaken thee: fear not, neither be dismayed. Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whither soever thou goest. There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand, a man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps. Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; YEA, I will help thee; YEA, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish. Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, as a thing of nought. For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself, Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God? But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased. For God hath not given us the Spirit of fear; but of power, and of Love, and of a sound mind. Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God; Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began. The LORD of hosts hath sworn, saying, surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand. The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil. Everyone that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: Though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished. The Kings heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will. Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you, let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say Rejoice. Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. Becareful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus... When thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him... Finally my brothers and sisters... Philippines 4:8.... read... God Bless and keep you all... AMEN, AND AMEN.

Dearest brothers and sisters read the Bible and especially Revelation 1, 2 and 3 and be brave and decide what to do. Our church, Church of England and your Catholic Church have taken a foul path. You need to read and study the word of God and run as fast as you can from any apostate church. I pray just like Revival takes place currently in the Muslim countries, the Holy Spirit removed the scales from each Christian that follows an apostate church. In Jesus precious name. Love and blessings from London.

The true Catholic Church remains intact, yet less visible. It is a false Novus Ordo religion that has occupied the Vatican since the death of Pius XII (1958).

Did you know that Pius the 12th was not referred to as the holy father in the third secret of Fatima, neither was John the 23rd or John Paul the second, however each of those people were referred to in the letter and so was the holy father but his name was not mentioned which was Gregory the 17th
