Politically
Correct in the Church - EWTN
Having
just about complete control of the mass media, Masonry has worked
hard to promote POLITICAL CORRECTNESS.
Today there is great pressure on people to be “politically
correct”. And of course the world, with the secular mass media,
decides what is politically correct. But “the prince of the world”
is Satan (Jn 12:31; 14:30). And who controls the mass media, Masonry!
Fathers of families and pastors of parishes have the vocation from
God, nourished with sincere pray, to protect the souls entrusted to
them. Very often, if not always, to be politically correct means to
not protect the souls entrusted to fathers and pastors. Satan,
knowing well the vocations from God for fathers and pastors, has done
all he can to attack or push aside or ridicule the fathers of
families and good pastors of parishes. One
on Satan’s very effective groups to do this work is secular
feminism, along with the mass media,
which seeks to destroy the God-given vocation of the fathers of
families. The wife and mother does not have the vocation from God to
be the father of the family; she has another beautiful vocation, to
be the heart of the family. To destroy the fundamental cell of
society, the family, Satan seeks to confuse and change these
fundamental vocations from God, of man and woman, of husband and
wife, of father and mother, and of marriage itself. The fundamental
resistance to a dictatorship of the world, the New World Order, is
the family; if the family is weak or just about destroyed, there is
no viable resistance to total world domination by the dictatorship.
“The
responsibility of fathers of families, priests and bishops is very
great; pray for them that they might
live their God-given vocations for the salvation of the eternal souls
entrusted to them. I have a great sorrow in my heart for souls
entrusted to fathers of Catholic families, to priests and to bishops,
who do not live nor teach the true Catholic faith well summarized in
the Catechism of the Catholic Church for adults (CCC)! Satan offers
his catechism of the world; “Satan disguises himself as an angel of
light” (2Cor 11:14)! Where are the
real Christian men who reveal and warn
about these very numerous wolves in sheep’s clothing today, at the
risk of being ostracized, ridiculed and persecuted, for the good of
the souls entrusted to them? The TV
today portrays men as misfits, awkward,
cowards, wimps, womanizers, philanderers, skirt chasers, milksop,
namby-pambys, sissies, OR
arrogant
one-man saviors
like Rambo or Arnold Schwarzenegger who are seeking the glory before
men (Lk 6:26; Jn 12:43; 5:44) and thus are not instruments of God but
of themselves and thus of Satan! Where
are the real Christian women who
inspire the men in their God-given vocation (not according to the
world) instead of seducing them and ridiculing them and manipulating
them as we see continually in our mass media today?!? Saint Monica
did not have the greatest husband nor the greatest son, but
persevering in her God-given vocation as a wife and as a mother, with
much prayers and sacrifices and tears, her husband converted before
dying and her son became the great Saint Augustine, doctor of the
Church!” (“Have we truly arrived to a SCHISM?”;
http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2016/03/catholic-schism.html).
But
under this great pressure to be politically correct as well as the
fear of being attached and isolated and even destroyed, many people
and traditional Catholic groups are perhaps not politically correct
according to the world’s standards BUT
HAVE BECOME POLITICALLY CORRECT WITHIN THE CHURCH.
Many have sacrificed the Truth on the altar of unity!
“In
the Name of Purpose - Sacrificing Truth on the Altar of Unity”
(Jeremiah 6:16), by Tamara Hartzell
(http://inthenameofpurpose.org/inthename.pdf).
With
the excuse of obeying lawful representatives of the Church, a
great number of Church leaders
and lay people have closed their eyes to the possibility
that these representatives of the Church are not faithful to the
immutable Truth which the Holy Spirit has revealed to us in the 2000
year history of the Church, which we call the true and authentic
Magisterium of the Church. Certainly there are exaggerations and
great errors on both sides of the spectrum, such as the Donatists in
the time of Saint Augustine, and many groups in the history of the
Catholic Church who have put themselves above the Church (“The
Great Difficulty In Overcoming Pharisaism - The Difference Between
Schismatic Traditionalism and the False Pope Prophecies”
(http://schis-trad.blogspot.it/2016/05/overcoming-pharisaism.html).
On the other side of the spectrum are the liberals who do not respect
God’s laws either.
The
true saints, being truly humble and totally trustful in God instead
of themselves and their own human intelligence and wisdom, maintained
the proper balance as well as the courage to stand up and defend the
Truth at the right time with prudence and love.
The true saints during their lifetimes became totally detached from
the things of this world, including earthly security and human
respect, and thus were spiritually free and ready to lose everything
to remain faithful to Jesus Christ “the way, and the truth and the
life” (Jn 14:6).
“Anyone
who has tried to follow the signs of the times realize that the
false prophet, the
second beast of the Book of Revelation, the beast which has two horns
like those of a lamb (Rev 13:11,15;
16:13; 19:20; 20:10) will end up
deceiving a great number of people. It
might seem exaggerated that people will arrive even to the point of
adoring the Antichrist as we read in chapter 13 of the Book of
Revelation. But each time a person or a priest accepts even a small
lie of the devil, or a compromise in order not to lose something to
which he is attached in his heart, such as a group or friends or
honor before men or money or power or pleasure, there is always an
increase of spiritual blindness and pride; if this person does not
repent with a good sincere confession and with sincere prayer, he
will continue to seek the glory before men (Lk 16:15; :,26; Jn 5:44;
12,39-43; Mt 6:1-6. 16-18) and to accept more and more the beautiful
and easier and alluring lies of the “father of lies” (Jn 8:44),
as he becomes more and more blind to the truth and reality according
to God. The youth and also the adults (who were not mature or strong)
felt real important and fulfilled to be with Hitler during World War
II; at all costs they wanted to protect Hitler in order to protect
their “importance” in the Third Reich! Thus these immature
spiritually weak people did not let others criticize Hitler, that is,
the people who opened their eyes to the uncomfortable truth outside
of the Third Reich, to the possibility that Hitler was doing great
damage. The Freemasonry has worked very hard to promote and
manipulate people to want to be “politically
correct” in the world and in the
Church. “Everyone who acknowledges me before men, the Son of man
also will acknowledge before the angels of God; but he who denies me
before men will be denied before the angels of God” (Lk 12:8-9).”
(“Only a Remnant Will Remain Faithful to the Truth”;

Why
are pastors so afraid of losing their positions, titles, salary and
their life as Christ says a good pastor must do (Jn 10:11)? Why are
pastors so concerned about maintaining the establishment where they
find their “importance” before men, and thus will not open their
mouths to point out the great dangers for souls about what the head
of this structure is saying and doing?
Mother
Angelica (April 20, 1923 – March 27,
2016), the founder of “The Eternal
Word Television Network” (EWTN), was one of these saints,
who maintained the proper priorities and balance by keeping her heart
and mind fixed on the glory of God and the salvation of souls while
being a rebel to the pressures of being “politically correct”
even in the Catholic Church! She was a simple but powerful beacon of
light for our times. She was not afraid to risk and lose even the
television network to remain faithful to Christ, the Eternal Word.
Mother Angelica had the courage to open her eyes to the signs of the
times and to seek to discover the hidden and subtle but powerful
traps laid by our mortal enemy, Satan, for immortal souls. She had
the humility to not totally rely on her own human intelligence and
wisdom but to seek to discover the guidance in our times of great
confusion from the true prophets of our times, even though Satan has
given rise to many false prophets today. Those who do not have this
true humility do not have their eyes open to certain hidden dangers
and are looking in the wrong direction, while remaining “politically
correct in the Church”.
400
years ago the protestants left the Church causing great harm and
disunity and the death of thousands of people. But
today the protestants remain in the Church and put to silence or send
away those who remain faithful to the immutable Truth of God. An
example of this is what Msgr. Athanasius
Schneider was trying to say:
“The (Neocatecumenal) Way is a TROJAN HORSE in the Church”
(March 6, 2016;
http://rorate-caeli.blogspot.com/2016/04/exclusive-interview-with-bishop.html).
Why
does EWTN give prime time to at least one bishop who extols Martin
Luther while not offering the whole
truth about Martin Luther including the real history of Martin Luther
up to his death and the very negative fruits caused by Martin Luther?
This same bishop indicates that hell is empty, which is exactly the
strategy of Satan as pointed out by Archbishop Fulton Sheen! Why does
EWTN give prime time to another prelate of the Church who does not
help homosexuals to overcome their homosexual life style which does
great harm to the homosexuals, to those near to practicing
homosexuals and to the whole of society, and then even allows the
homosexuals, as a recognizable group, to publicize their group by
walking in a large public Catholic procession??? Is
this not false love, false mercy and misguided compassion which
Mother Angelica warned us about many times???
Is this not reversing the proper priorities - first God, not human
respect? Mother Angelica used to say: “If
you aren’t a thorn in somebody’s side, you aren’t doing
Christianity right.” But now in the
feminized “Church of the Nice”, few priests and bishops have the
courage to do as Mother Angelica, or as Saint John the Baptist, or as
Saint Peter the day of Pentecost, and as all of the saints, to risk
not being “politically correct” for the Kingdom of God and for
the salvation of souls!
In
the final message of the Blessed Virgin, October 13, 1973, on the
anniversary of the last apparition and of the miracle of Fatima, at
AKITA, Japan,
she said to sister Agnes Sasagawa: “The
work of the devil will infiltrate even the Church in such a way that
one will see cardinals opposing
cardinals, bishops against other bishops.
The priests who venerate Me will be scorned and opposed by their
conferees …churches and altars sacked,
the Church will be full of those who
accept COMPROMISE and the demon will
press many priests and consecrated souls to leave the service of the
Lord. The demon will be especially implacable against souls
consecrated to God.”
(“The
Hidden Broad Road to Perdition”;
http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2015/05/road-perdition.html)
Mother
Angelica hosted shows on EWTN until she had a stroke in 2001. As did
her Lord and Savior, Mother Angelica did not accept compromises with
the Truth. Mother Angelica was ready to lose everything before
compromising with her Lord and Savior. After
2001, did the ones in charge of EWTN maintain this vital fundamental
integrity? Are the ones in charge of
EWTN willing to follow Christ all the way in losing all on the cross,
according to divine logic and wisdom and not according to human logic
and wisdom, for the purification of the Church in this period as they
claim to be doing? How easy it is to justify compromises for a
seemingly important good of not losing EWTN, or viewers. Did Judas
Iscariot not believe he was doing something good by trying to force
the hand of Christ to free the Jews from the Roman tyranny, which is
essentially the same as the betrayal of Liberation Theology in the
Church today under many disguises?
The
very few cardinals, bishops and priests who have done as Mother
Angelica in maintaining the proper priorities of God the Truth first
before all else, are being deprived of their positions and titles and
public prestige. Is EWTN ready to do the
same for the glory of God and the
salvation of immortal souls, as did Christ during his passion and
death 2000 years ago, and all the saints and martyrs before and after
Christ???
Having
become the largest Catholic television network in the world, EWTN now
feels they are the voice of authentic truth at least in the English
speaking world and have slid into the
fundamental human temptation of being above criticism.
EWTN has lost much of the holy prudence of Mother Angelica and of the
saints. Even the disciples of Jesus and of Moses were greatly lacking
in maturity. “And when his disciples James and John saw it, they
said, "Lord, do you want us to bid fire come down from heaven
and consume them?" But he turned and rebuked them. (Lk 9:51-62).
Even Joshua, “one of his chosen men”, had the same lack of
maturity and humility: “My lord Moses, forbid them." But Moses
said to him, "Are you jealous for my sake? Would that all the
LORD's people were prophets, that the LORD would put his spirit upon
them!" (Num 11:25-29).
Our
Lady offers more details about what the Church explains that this is
the period when the Body of Christ, the Church, will be crucified and
buried and afterwards there will be the resurrection (CCC 677): “My
Adversary will one day think that he is celebrating
a complete victory: over the world,
over the Church, over souls. It
will be only then that I will intervene - terrible and victorious -
that his defeat may be all the greater when he is certain in his
conviction that he has conquered once for all. What is in preparation
is so extraordinary that its like has never happened since the
creation of the world. That is why everything has already been
predicted in the Bible. … First of all, it is necessary that my
Enemy have the impression of having conquered everything, of having
everything now in his hands. This is why he will be permitted to
penetrate even into the interior of my Church,
and he will succeed in plunging the sanctuary of God into darkness.
He will reap the greatest number of victims from among the ministers
of the sanctuary. This will in fact be a
time of great falls on the part of my beloved sons, my Priests”
(Our Lady to Don Stefano Gobbi; October 18,
1975). “Only a Remnant Will Remain
Faithful to the Truth”
(http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2017/09/only-remnant-will-remain-faithful-to.html).
Private
revelations are so important that Satan
seeks in every way to diminish their divulgation, influence and
effect. In 1882, Christ revealed to the
stigmatist, Marie Julie Jahenny of La Fraudais, France that:
"In the last days, a seemingly
unlimited amount of FALSE REVELATIONS will arise from hell like a
swarm of flies; a last attempt of Satan to choke and to destroy the
efficacy of the TRUE REVELATIONS by false ones." These
revelations to Marie Julie indicate that these revelations are
important enough for Satan to try to diminish their effectiveness
seeking to keep us far away from true private revelations by offering
false ones, as well as working to condemn true one (see below
directive no. 26 of the Masonic Plan). But this also indicates that
there are many false revelations and thus one must be wise and
prudent especially in regards to recent revelations in which the
proper Church authorities have not made any pronouncement yet.
St.
John also tells us: “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but
test the spirits to see whether they are of God:
for many false prophets have gone out into the world” (1Jn 4:1).
Saint Paul tells us: “Do not quench the Spirit, do
not despise prophesying, but test
everything; hold fast what is good” (1Thess 5:19-21).
Regarding
private revelations, Saint Thomas Aquinas tells us
“at all times there have not been lacking
persons having the spirit of prophecy, not indeed for the declaration
of any new doctrine of faith, but for the direction of human acts”
(Summas Theologica
II –II q174 a6 reply 3; see also Amos
3:7).
“Do
not despise prophesying”
(1Thess
5:20; 1Cor 14:31).
“Surely
the Lord GOD does nothing, without revealing his secret to his
servants the prophets”
(Amos
3:7).
Our
Lady revealed to Father Stefano Gobbi (02-09-1985): “Darkness,
with A THICK, COLD FOG, has entered the
Church, obscuring it in the splendor of its truth. For this reason,
every day, my word is forming you to the spirit of wisdom, that you
may always see, in the light, the truth which my Son has taught you
and proclaim it with courage to all in
its INTEGRITY.”
It
seems to me that this “FOG”
obscures above all the light of the Truth. The saints tell us to pass
as much time as possible kneeling before the incarnate Truth, the
divine Prisoner, in the tabernacle, with the help of the “Seat of
Wisdom”, Mary. Otherwise the words and the programs of a pastor in
a parish will be empty, even though for a few months or a few years,
it might seem that there are fruits, like more leaves on a tree that
is never pruned (no homilies on sin and on the “Four Last Things”,
or like fireworks or straw that burns, but after, these fruits will
not last if the pastor does not make the “First
Announcement” of the Gospel to
himself. Behold the activism which leads us to pray always less and
to trust more and more ourselves! Visit in Italian “A
Servizio di Tutti”
(http://cibo-spir.blogspot.it/2014/08/a-servizio-di-tutti.html);
“A Damned Priest Warns About Hell”
(http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2013/12/damned-priest.html).
Behold
why Jesus calls those hypocrites who do not look at the signs of the
times, who do not seek to discover
these things, the real situation in the world and in the Church from
the point of view of God, but go instead with the current of the
secular world, and say “I’m OK”. The inhabitants
of Sodom and Gomorrah had no idea that that they were about to be
annihilated (Gen 19). Like today, many governments promote the
principle sin of Sodom, homosexuality. Today the blindness of egoism
is more developed, to see everything only from our point of view,
which is called “relativism”, the cult of man, not the cult of
God.
Here
is a directive of the Grand Master of
the Freemason which was taught to many
Catholic university students and to many seminarians:
“26.
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.” (“The
Masonic Plan For The Destruction Of The Catholic Church”;
http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2013/11/masonic-plan.html).
There
are many Catholics and Catholic groups and blog moderators on the
internet who put themselves in the place of judging and interpreting
the licitness of reading, promoting or going to apparitions sites not
yet approved. THEY PUT THEMSELVES IN THE
PLACE OF THE LOCAL ORDINARY OR OF THE POPE HIMSELF.
Many like to pontificate, instead of having the humility to say: I do
not know; we must wait with patience to see if the fruits are good or
bad, as did Mother Angelica! They often interpret in their own
rigorous way the decree of the “Sacred
Congregation for the Doctrine and the Faith”, published in the
"Official Acts of the Holy See" (A.A.S.) 58/16, dated
December 29, 1966. Other critical Catholics want to accuse those who
read and promote these messages from these apparitions of Our Lady
(or also, for example the testimony of Gloria Polo) as being
motivated only by curiosity and pride (who is really prideful here?)
in seeking to know that which is not for us to know. But if one goes
even to this extreme one-sided interpretation and judgment, then why
are the number of apparitions of Our Lady increasing in our day as
Cardinal Ratzinger pointed out in "The
Ratzinger Report" (1985)? Why did Jesus say: “Be wise as
serpents” and not just “innocent as doves” (Mt 10:16)? Do these
critical “serpents” presume to know more than the Mother of God
about what is needed today? According to these “intelligent”
people (Mt 11:25; Lk 10:21), can there not be another possible motive
to read and to promote the messages of Our Lady in our very
particular times in which people need a particular help from heaven
just as God gave by way of the prophets and judges in the Old
Testament? The Church encourages us to read the whole Bible, also the
more difficult books such as the Book of Revelation, Daniel, Ezekiel,
Matthew 24, Luke 21, Mark 13, etc.? It is
amazing how many people choose to close their eyes and ears to the
signs of our times! Jesus calls these people “HYPOCRITES”!
(Lk 12:56; Mt 16:3; 24:51).
GOD
OR HIS MOTHER DO NOT NEED PERMISSION
from a bishop or a priest or a Catholic group or a blog moderator on
the Internet to appear or to give private revelations. I think that
very few of the seventy thousand people who went to Fatima on October
13, 1917 asked permission from their respective bishops or priests
before going to Fatima that day, and yet they were rewarded with the
great miracle of the sun. I also believe that as we approach this
period of “great tribulation” (Mt 24), God in His love for us,
like a loving mother, will give even more help, encouragement and
words to help all to prepare so as to take advantage of this period
of great trial and suffering, and in particular to give us a guide in
this “thick, cold fog”
of confusion even in the Catholic Church, above all in the Catholic
Church! In this way God will offer one last
help to those who might be willing to convert and put God in the
first place and priority in their lives rather than in themselves or
so many other things or persons.
How
many lay people, priests and bishops think they are so wise and
intelligent?
IT
IS SUCH A GREAT TEMPTATION TO BECOME ATTACHED TO THE ESTEEM OF
OTHERS. “The greater you are, the
more you must humble yourself” (Sir 3:18; Phil 2:5-8; Mt 20:26-28).
Instead a great number of those in charge go exactly the opposite
direction; they change the verse and they think rather: “The
greater you are, the more you are important and indispensible”
before others and even before God!!! “’Do not presume to say to
yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father'; for I tell you, God is
able from these stones to raise up children to Abraham’.” (Mt
3:9).
To
go toward one extreme or the other is the easier way:
to believe naively that just about all private revelations are true
and from God or to reject all private revelations a priory. I believe
this is why so many important “spokesmen” in the Church today
chose the less humble way of pushing aside just about all private
revelations for today to the detriment of their numerous listeners.
This is exactly what the Grand Master of the Masons wants (see
directive no. 26). Saint Thomas Aquinas tells us that virtue lies in
the middle between the two extremes which is usually the more
difficult path requiring much patience, discernment and humility.
“Truly,
I say to you, unless you turn and BECOME LIKE CHILDREN,
you will never enter the Kingdom of heaven” (Mt 18:3). How can one
become a child without a Mother? “I thank Thee, Father, Lord of
heaven and earth, that Thou hast hidden these things from the wise
and understanding and revealed them to babes” (Mt 11:25; Lk 10:21).
Saint
Augustine tells us:
It
was pride that changed angels into devils; it is humility
that makes men as angels. Humility is
the foundation of all the other virtues. The soul in which this
virtue does not exist, there cannot be any other virtue except in
mere appearance. There is something in humility that strangely exalts
the heart. This is the very perfection of man, to find out about his
own imperfections. You must be emptied of that which you are full
that you may be filled with that which you are empty. The greater the
building is to be, the deeper you dig the foundation. For once your
foundation is set, the height to which you can build has been
determined. You want a tower that will pierce the clouds, lay first
the foundation of humility. Humility must accompany all of our
actions. For as soon as we glory in our good works, they are of no
further value for our advancement in virtue.
I
wrote in my article, “Il Dio Infinito Fra Noi”, written in
particolar for many members of the Neocatecumenal Way who I was
helping at the time
(http://cibo-spir.blogspot.it/2014/01/il-dio-infinito-fra-noi.html):
“When
one reads the diary of Saint Faustina, one sees that while she
progressed in union with Jesus, she was MORE AND MORE CONSCIOUS OF
HER MISERY, and at the same time more trusting in the mercy of God
with much gratitude toward God for this inestimable gift of His
mercy! Instead many times, the more we
go forward in an ecclesial movement or in our priestly ministry, we
believe to be less in misery and more worthy to stand before God and
men. … What remains after death for
eternity, a great work that we believe we did or our personal virtue?
Saint Bonaventure and many saints tell us that without humility there
is no virtue, …”
With
pride there comes always spiritual blindness!
Fr.
William Wagner, ORC, speaking on EWTN,
“On Location”, in July 2017, with the topic, “100 Years, Our
Lady of Fatima, Her Immaculate Heart”, said: “Prophecy adds
nothing to the deposit of faith. Prophecy is a light of the Holy
Spirit focusing our attention on a particular moment in the history
of salvation so that we can see the divine truth in this hour of
history in the light of this truth. Prophecy is a stimulus for
theological development.”
Fr.
Seraphim Mickalenko of the Marians of
the Immaculate Conception while speaking on EWTN with “The Best of
Mother Angelica Live”, on the topic Devotion
to the Divine Mercy, talked about the importance
of private revelation.
Mother
Angelica, speaking on the topic, “Feast of the Assumption”, on
August 15, 2000, spoke about private revelation saying: “Man
cannot solve his problems; he needs God.
Today it is like a runaway horse. ... You cannot prove an apparition
until what is predicted happens. Then you know it’s true. But as
long as it doesn’t say anything heretical, you can believe it.”
Mother
Angelica went often to a mystic in Canton, Ohio, Rhoda Wise,
who was a victim soul with the stigmata; later Rhoda Wise healed
Mother Angelica. Later another mystic healed Mother Angelica of her
legs and back problem in 1998; again she spoke positively and
prudently about mystics and private revelation on the “Life on the
Rock” show with Jeff Cavins (1998), talking also about the
prophecies of St. John Bosco and of St. Faustina
Kowalska. Mother Angelica on
this same show, from her many readings from the prophets for our
times, said that after this period of great tribulation there will be
a re-awakening to the Eucharist. This same message is also found in
Our Lady’s messages to Don Stefano Gobbi (“To The Priests Our
Lady’s Beloved Sons”; http://our-lady-priests.blogspot.it/).
“In
fact, the coming of the glorious reign of Christ will coincide with
the greatest splendor of his Eucharistic reign among you.
The Eucharistic Jesus will release all his power of love, which will
transform souls, the Church and all humanity. Thus the Eucharist
becomes a sign of Jesus who, still today, loves you to the end,
because He is leading you to the end of these times of yours, to
introduce you into the new era of holiness and of grace, toward which
you are all journeying and which will begin at the moment when Jesus
will have restored his glorious reign in your midst" (Our
Lady to Don Stefano Gobbi, April 12, 1990; August 21, 1987).
Mother
Angelica’s first priority was the glory of God and the salvation of
souls. And thus she tried to protect
the souls in the Church from the many heresies in the Church. Thus in
her zeal for warning souls of the dangers in the Church, on November
12, 1997, on one of her live shows she said: “In fact the cardinal
of California is teaching that it’s bread and wine before the
Eucharist and after the Eucharist. I’m afraid my obedience in that
diocese would be absolutely zero. And I hope everybody else’s in
that diocese is zero. But I mean you just kind of have to ask
yourself…” After this less than seventeen second statement,
Cardinal Mahony began to go to Rome to see if he could close down
EWTN by way of the superiors of the Poor Clare order in the Church.
Yes, Mother Angelica made a mistake, but her motives were for the
salvation of souls.
I
believe that it was the Providence of God of this conflict with
Cardinal Mahony which caused Mother Angelica to turn over control of
EWTN to a group of lay people, seeing
that today few bishops and priests have remained faithful to the
authentic teachings of the Church well summarized in the Catechism of
the Catholic Church for adults. The US Catholic bishops tried to
create a Catholic television network about the same time as Mother
Angelica but went bankrupt and lost a lot of money; are the US
bishops willing to admit the real reasons and causes for this failure
and the lack of interest on the part of Catholics in the US? On the
other hand, if Mother Angelica were still in charge of EWTN she would
not hesitate to remain faithful to the doctrines of the Church and
not allow any compromises on EWTN, including from cardinals or
bishops! Due to the great apostasy in this period of time (2Thess
2:3-4) “very few Christians will want
to obey the true Sovereign Pontiff and the Roman Church
with a sincere heart and perfect charity. At the decisive moment of
this crisis, a personage
not canonically elected, raised to the Pontificate,
will endeavor to administer shrewdly to many the mortal poison of his
error” (The “Prophecy of Saint Francis”
(Assisi)
http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2013/11/prophecy-st-francis.html).
But in the end, as pointed out by St. Louis de Montfort and by Our
Lady to Don Stefano Gobbi, Our Lady will crush the head of the
serpent (Gen 3:15) not with the esteemed and powerful people, but
with the little ones.

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGZocJZsMbk):
“As
Catholics we have been terribly quiet all these years.
After Vatican Council, those beautiful documents, inspired by the
Holy Spirit, they’re so beautiful when you read those documents,
it’s like reading Scripture. But they were misrepresented and
mis-portrayed and misinterpreted all these years. And every excuse,
like this mime (Way of the Cross, with a woman in the part of Jesus!)
has been blamed on the Vatican documents; they have even been
reworded. And all these years from the time they took Our Lady to the
time they took out the tabernacle, to the time they took out the
Stations, to the time they took out all devotions. To the time at
this point they have changed our churches, they have closed them. And
now we are not even allowed … the awesome Presence comes down into
this one little host. Some lounge, some sit, some stand. I’m tired
of your enneagrams, I’m tired of your witchcraft. I'm tired. I'm
tired of being pushed in corners. I'm
tired of your inclusive language that refuses to admit that the Son
of God is a Man. I'm tired of your tricks. I'm tired of your deceits.
I'm tired of you constantly just making a crack and the first thing
you know there's a hole and all of us fall into it. No. This was
deliberate. This was a group that was told what to do and how to do
it.
I
am so tired of your liberal Church in America.
And everything you've ever done has gone in silence. Nothing, nothing
you've done from your witchcraft to your anagrams to your centering
prayer to all this earth spirituality… No, this is not an accident.
We've swallowed this now for thirty years. I'm tired of it. We've
swallowed enough of your idea of God and you really have no God.
You
spread your errors to children. And our
children don't even know the Eucharist anymore. They don't understand
that it is the Blessed Sacrament. That it's the Body and Blood, Soul
and Divinity of Jesus. Your Catechisms are so watered down that they
say nothing but 'love your neighbor'. No, you've got to love God
first… I don't like your Church. You have nothing to offer. You do
nothing but destroy…”
(You
can watch a similar video clip of Mother Angelica in 1993 just after
the World Youth Day in Denver, Colorado in August: “Mother
Angelica on Blasphemy, the Second Vatican Council, and WYD 1993”
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCvX94US7SY&feature=youtu.be).)
Mother Angelic – Denver, Colorado, August 14, 1993.
Our
Lady revealed several times to Don Stefano Gobbi messages similar to
this one:
"Beloved
sons, today you are calling to mind my second apparition, which took
place in the humble Cova da Iria in Fatima,
on June 13, 1917. Even as of then I foretold to you that which you
are living through in these times. I announced to you the great
struggle between me, the Woman Clothed
with the Sun, and the huge Red Dragon,
which has brought humanity to live without God.I also foretold to you
the subtle and dark work, carried out by Freemasonry with the purpose
of separating you from the observance of the Law of God and thus
making you victims of sins and of vices. Above all, as Mother, I have
wanted to warn you of the grave dangers which threaten the Church
today, because of the many and diabolical attacks which are being
carried out against it to destroy it. … This Masonic infiltration,
in the interior of the Church, was already foretold to you by me at
Fatima, when I announced to you that Satan would enter in even to the
summit of the Church. If the task of Masonry is to lead souls to
perdition, bringing them to the worship of false divinities, the
task of ECCLESIASTICAL MASONRY on the other hand is that of
destroying Christ and his Church,
building a new idol, namely a false christ and a false church” (Our
Lady to Don Stefano Gobbi, June 13, 1989) (“To
The Priests Our Lady’s Beloved Sons”;
http://our-lady-priests.blogspot.it/).
I
think THE SILENCE ON THE PART OF A GREAT
NUMBER OF PRIESTS AND BISHOPS in the
Church about the great danger to souls in the Church today IS
FAR WORSE than an imprudent seventeen
second statement about the dangers to souls in the diocese of Los
Angeles, California in 1997! Visit: “Only a Remnant Will Remain
Faithful to the Truth”
(http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2017/09/only-remnant-will-remain-faithful-to.html).
In
contrast to Mother Angelica, many people who appear on EWTN in recent
years have succumbed to the great pressure to be politically correct
in the Church. There is less prayer than
ever before, more sin than ever before,
even worse, indifference as if sin no longer exists, and so we have
given very great power to “the father of lies”, Satan (Jn 8:44).
In particular Satan has more power to “disguise
himself as an angel of light” (2Cor
11:14), to offer his very deadly beautiful lies as if they were the
“truth that sets us free” (Jn 8:32)! Thus it is very important in
these times of great confusion, when
even Catholic bishops are no longer in agreement about the
fundamentals of our faith and morals, to not only pray much and to
study the Catechism of the Catholic Church for adults, but to
keep our eyes open so as not to fall into the beautiful lies of Satan
presented as if they were the Truth!
Mother
Angelica used to say: “If you aren’t
a thorn in somebody’s side, you aren’t doing Christianity right.”
But now in the feminized “Church of the Nice”, few priests and
bishops have the courage to do as Mother Angelica, or as Saint John
the Baptist before Herod, or as Saint Peter on the day of the first
Pentecost, and as all of the saints, to risk not being “politically
correct” for the Kingdom of God and for the salvation of souls!
Due
to this “thick, cold fog”,
this confusion in the Catholic Church causes great harm to the Church
and to souls, as Saint Thomas Aquinas tells us: “at
all times there have not been lacking persons having the spirit of
prophecy, not indeed for the declaration of any new doctrine of
faith, but for the direction of human acts”.
Programs
like “Faith and Culture”, and “Knights of St. Michael”
for high school kids, are no longer shown on EWTN. These programs put
the truth from God above any other sources of truth, without regard
for human respect and political correctness in the Church, which
Mother Angelica always did. These programs encouraged people to open
our eyes, to not be politically correct in the Church like puppets,
and to seek the saving Truth, even if cardinals or bishops were on
the wrong side of the Truth of the authentic Magisterium of the
Church.
These
programs were not politically correct according to many bishops and
cardinals and priest today in the Church. Mother
Angelica had true humility and courage and thus was not afraid of
seeking the help and guidance of the prophets today, even though
there are also many false prophets today. Saint
Thomas Aquinas tells us that virtue lies in the middle between the
two extremes which is usually the more difficult path requiring much
patience, discernment and humility. The
easy way is to go to one extreme or the other, to accept all private
revelations or to reject all private revelations, without the effort
of proper discernment. The directors of
these programs were not afraid to indicate fundamental doctrinal
differences that are found today in our Catholic Universities and
among many bishops and priests. Our Lady at Akita, Japan (October 13,
1973), told us that in our times “the
Church will be full of those who accept compromise”. Jesus
offered mercy, but never any compromises as is very prevalent in the
Church today.
Our
Lady told us: “Darkness, with a thick,
cold fog, has entered the Church,
obscuring it in the splendor of its truth. For this reason, every
day, my word is forming you to the spirit of wisdom, that you may
always see, in the light, the truth which my Son has taught you and
proclaim it with courage to all in its
INTEGRITY. The time has now come when
ONLY the little children,
consecrated to my Immaculate Heart and entrusted completely to their
heavenly Mother, will have the gift of keeping themselves intact in
the faith and of bringing to the true faith the souls entrusted to
them” (February 9, 1985; http://our-lady-priests.blogspot.it/).
The
first priority of Mother Angelica was the glory of God and the
salvation of souls, and to protect
souls from the very numerous hidden traps in the Church, not the
glory of EWTN or even to save EWTN! Jesus never offered compromises,
even if he risked losing his followers (Jn 6:66), as did Mother
Angelica and all the true saints. Today the directors of EWTN have
washed their hands and have taken the easier route of not talking
about serious problems in the Church, or considering any non
condemned private revelations which indicate the grave problems in
the Church today. The directors of EWTN never talk about even
approved apparitions, such as La Salette which clearly stated that
Rome would become the seat of the Antichrist! The directors of EWTN
today have put a great emphasis on a type of triumphalism in showing
to protestants that the Catholic Church is the true Church, while for
the most part, have closed their eyes to the grave and devastating
problems today in the Church of hidden doctrinal shifts and the
ignoring of important doctrinal distinctions and the hierarchy of
values along with very damaging half truths.
It
seems that the directors of EWTN do not want to take to risk of
considering the possibility, that we
are the generation
(Mt 24:34) of the “great tribulation” (Mt 24:21) of which Jesus
spoke about, when “if possible, even the elect” (Mt 24:24) will
be led astray. It seems that the directors of EWTN do not want to
take to risk of considering the possibility, or do not want to
realize, that it is our generation of the great
apostasy of which Saint Paul wrote
about in 2 Thess ch. 2. It seems that the directors of EWTN do not
want to take to risk of considering the possibility, that the Body of
Christ, the Church, will pass through
the passion and crucifixion, as did
Jesus 2000 years ago, in this period (CCC 675-677;
http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/__P1V.HTM)?
To consider these things is certainly not politically correct in the
Church today even though the saints took this risk for the benefit of
the souls entrusted to them!
A
good pastor is ready to lay down his life for the sheep (Jn
10:11-13), and thus take the risk of identifying the great dangers
for the sheep. If a pastor does this
fundamental job, he will very quickly discover that what has come out
of the Vatican, since Pope Benedict XVI left, is doing great harm to
innumerable souls in a sly hidden way. Today there is more pressure
than ever before in the Catholic Church to be politically correct by
being “DUMB DOGS”.
EWTN has become complacent about
serious issues with an attitude that they
are the ultimate word of truth in the USA and thus do not have to
listen to or dialogue anyone not in agreement with themselves, as
happens so often in the history of mankind and of the Church. Pope
Francis does not dialogue with any cardinal or bishop or priest that
is not in total agreement with Pope Francis, even though these
cardinals, bishops and priests are simply saying that the Truth comes
from God not the Church and thus there must be continuity with Divine
Revelation and the Doctrines of the Church,
for example, the four cardinals who wrote the ‘Dubia?!
“A
religious leader should be careful in deciding when to remain silent
and be sure to say something useful when deciding to speak. In this
way he will avoid saying things that would be better not said, or
leaving unsaid things that ought to be said. For, just as thoughtless
remarks can lead people into error, so also ill-advised silence can
leave people in their error, when they could have been shown where
they were wrong. Negligent religious
leaders are often afraid to speak freely and say what needs to be
said – for fear of losing favor with people. As Truth himself says,
they are certainly not guarding their flock with the care expected of
a shepherd but are acting like hirelings, because hiding behind a
wall of silence is like taking flight at the approach of the wolf.
These are the people whom the Lord is reproaching through the
prophet, when he says: ‘THEY ARE ALL DUMB
DOGS, THEY CANNOT BARK’ (Is 56:10) …
If a religious leader is afraid to say what is right, what else can
his silence mean but that he has taken flight? Whereas, if he stand
firm in defense of his flock, he is building up a wall for the house
of Israel against its enemies. And so again the sinful people are
told: ‘Your prophets have seen false and foolish visions for you;
they have not exposed your iniquity in order to provoke you to
repentance.’ (Lam 2:14) …” (Pope St. Gregory the Great; Office
of Readings; Sunday, Week 27 of OT).
“WHAT
KIND OF MEN ARE THEY who, FEARING TO
HURT THOSE THEY SPEAK TO, not only do
not prepare them for imminent temptations, but even promise the
happiness of this world, which God did not promise to the world
itself?” (Sermon of St. Augustine on the Shepherds; Office of
Readings, Week 24, OT, Friday).
In
the final message of the Blessed Virgin, October 13, 1973, on the
anniversary of the last apparition and of the miracle of Fatima, at
Akita, Japan, she said to Sister Agnes Sasagawa: “As
I told you, if men do not repent and better themselves, the Father
will inflict a terrible punishment on all humanity. It will be a
punishment greater than the deluge, such as one will never have seen
before. Fire will fall from the sky and will wipe out a great part of
humanity, the good as well as the bad, sparing neither priests nor
faithful. The survivors will find themselves so desolate that they
will envy the dead. The only arms that will remain for you will be
the Rosary and Sign left by My Son. Each day recite the prayers of
the Rosary. WITH THE ROSARY, PRAY FOR THE POPE, THE BISHOPS, AND THE
PRIESTS. The work of the devil will infiltrate even the Church in
such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, bishops
against other bishops. The priests who venerate Me will be scorned
and opposed by their conferees, churches and altars sacked, the
Church will be full of those who accept compromise
and the demon will press many priests and consecrated souls to leave
the service of the Lord. The demon will be especially implacable
against souls consecrated to God. The thought of the loss of so many
souls is the cause of My sadness. If sins increase in number and
gravity, there will be no longer pardon for them.”
(http://www.miraclerosarymission.org/akita.htm).
We
need the guidance of the greatest prophet ever sent to the earth, Our
Blessed Mother, also from her more
recent messages from apparitions not yet approved by the Church, as
Mother Angelica indicated many times.
On
various occasions I listened to Fr.
Mitch Pacwa on EWTN who did not have
this openness to private revelations that Mother Angelica had, but
more of an attitude of looking down on those who are open to private
revelations and even those who seek to understand the prophetic books
of the Old Testament and passages from the New Testament such as the
Book of Revelation, chapter 24 of the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 21
of the Gospel of Luke and chapter 13 of the Gospel of Mark. During
the EWTN Family Celebration in Canada, in April 2017, Fr. Pacwa said:
“Don’t go to the Book of Revelation to
learn about the end times, you don’t know that, and don’t make it
up.” Before the Second Vatican Council sometimes the Church was
accused of discouraging Catholics from reading all the books of the
Bible, especially books like Daniel, Ezekiel and the Book of
Revelation.
Even
Professor Scott Hahn, when discussing
the Book of Revelation, only talks about the heavenly celebration,
the Mass of Heaven, while discouraging “apocalyptic
interpretations” as if these interpretations are always erroneous
and misguided.
Why
does Scott Hahn and Fr. Mitch Pacwa not have the humility of Mother
Angelica to at least say that I do not
understand all the meanings in the Book of Revelation and that there
could be other interpretations besides the heavenly celebration, the
Mass of Heaven?
Fr.
Robert Spitzer, while speaking at
Franciscan University, for the “Symposium On Pope Francis's Vision
For The Renewal Of The Church Pt. 1”, broadcasted on EWTN “On
Location”, with great intelligence defended everything that Pope
Francis says or writes, without ever talking about the other side of
the coin, without discussing the great dangers to souls of offering
only half truths!
Cardinal
Burke said in an interview (February
2015) that he would be willing to “resist” Pope Francis, if the
pontiff were to attempt to change the Church's practice of denying
Communion to those in “second marriages.” Shortly after this
interview a cardinal who appears regularly on EWTN, called
Cardinal Burke a “dissenter”,
without using his name, because Cardinal Burke and other brother
bishops “are less than enthusiastic about Pope Francis”.
Fr.
Joseph Mary Wolfe, MFVA, on the program “The
Church Universal”, when talking with the Neocatecumens, never talks
about the great dangers for members of the Neocatecumenal Way because
the three founders refused to obey Pope John Paul II and Pope
Benedict XVI who ordered the Neocatecumenal Way to “obey
the liturgical books of the Catholic Church faithfully and exactly”
(“La Messa Neocatecumenale”;
http://cibo-spir.blogspot.it/2015/02/la-messa-neocatecumenale.html).
Is this not the “Church of the Nice”,
a “Politically Correct” Church, at
the expense of not being good pastors (Jn 10:11) by WARNING
THE SHEEP ABOUT THE POWERFUL HIDDEN POISONS OF THE WOLF?
“The Antichrist will conquer many people by saying: “You can do
all that you like... it is enough to love each other...”.” -
Saint Hildegard of Bingen, doctor of the Church (1098-1179) (in
Italian:
http://profezie3m.altervista.org/ptm_profx_santaildegarda.htm).
Why was Christ crucified, because he was a nice guy?!? Why were most
of the prophets of the Old Testament killed?
A
HALF TRUTH IS WORSE THAN A LIE, because
one believes to have received “the
truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth”
(as is said in civil courts of law). Similarly the saints tell us
that sins of omission are worse than sins of commission! In the last
four and a half years in the Church we have heard only half of the
truth about the mercy of God but not the other half of the truth: “Go
and sin no more!” (Jn 8:11; 5:14)! According to this type of
“mercy” offered as a half truth, should we eliminate the phrase
in the “Act of Contrition”: “I firmly resolve, with the help of
Thy grace, to sin no more, and to AVOID
the near occasion of sin”??? (sin according to God explained by His
Church, the Magisterium of the Church, not according to the
relativism of each person or of the world or of many priests and
bishops in the Church!)? (“The
True Easter!” ;
http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2017/05/the-true-easter.html).
People
who have the courage to open their eyes, so as not to be hypocrites
according to Jesus, regarding the great underlying hidden dangers
that the Mass Media and even EWTN do not talk about, are truly
labeled with the sickness of the “apocalyptic mentality” or
reactionary or not with the times, as if Masonry or the New World
Order or what Our Lady of La Salette (1846) told us: “Rome
will become the seat of the Antichrist”,
are just fictional unimportant things. According to many politically
correct groups in the Church, was Christ imprudent because he spoke
the whole truth
and thus allowed himself to be humiliated and crucified and thus he
lost his groups of followers who went away like the disciples of
Emmaus?
There
is broadcasted regularly on EWTN the programs by Archbishop Fulton
Sheen, but you will never find on EWTN certain things that Sheen
wrote about our times, which would not be politically correct in the
Church today!
Archbishop
Fulton Sheen and Cardinal Biffi gave us an idea of what the New World
Religion would be like:
The
Servant of God, Archbishop Fulton Sheen, wrote in 1948:
“[Satan]
will set up a counter church which will be the ape of the [Catholic]
Church … It will have all the notes and characteristics of the
Church, but in reverse and EMPTIED OF
ITS DIVINE CONTENT.”
“We
are living in the days of the Apocalypse, the last days of our era.
The two great forces – the Mystical Body of Christ and the Mystical
Body of the anti-Christ – are beginning to draw battle lines for
the catastrophic contest.”
“The
False prophet will have A RELIGION
WITHOUT A CROSS. A RELIGION WITHOUT A WORLD TO COME.
A religion to destroy religions. There will be a counterfeit Church.”
“Christ’s
Church the Catholic Church will be one; and the false Prophet will
create the other.”
“THE
FALSE CHURCH WILL BE WORLDLY, ECUMENICAL, AND GLOBAL.
It will be a loose federation of churches and religions, forming some
type of global association.”
“A world parliament of Churches.
It will be emptied of all Divine content,
it will be the mystical body of the anti-christ. The Mystical Body on
earth today will have its Judas Iscariot, and he will be the false
prophet. Satan will recruit him from our
Bishops.”
“THE
ANTICHRIST WILL NOT BE SO CALLED; OTHERWISE HE WOULD HAVE NO
FOLLOWERS. He will not wear red tights, nor vomit sulphur, nor carry
a trident nor wave an arrowed tail as Mephistopheles in Faust. This
masquerade has helped the Devil convince men that he does not exist.
When no man recognizes, the more power he exercises. God has defined
Himself as “I am Who am,” and the Devil as “I am who am not.”
“Nowhere
in Sacred Scripture do we find warrant for the popular myth of the
Devil as a buffoon who is dressed like the first “red.” Rather is
he described as an angel fallen from heaven, as “the Prince of this
world,” whose business it is to tell us that there is no other
world. HIS LOGIC IS SIMPLE:
if there is no heaven there is no hell; if there is no hell, then
there is no sin; if there is no sin, then there is no judge, and if
there is no judgment then evil is good and good is evil. But above
all these descriptions, OUR LORD TELLS
US THAT HE WILL BE SO MUCH LIKE HIMSELF THAT HE WOULD DECEIVE EVEN
THE ELECT – and certainly no devil
ever seen in picture books could deceive even the elect. How
will he come in this new age to win followers to his religion???”
(Communism
and the Conscience of the West, by Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen,
Bobbs-Merril Company, Indianapolis, 1948, pp. 24-25)
How
closely related these words of Sheen are to The
“Prophecy of Saint Francis” (Assisi):
“2.
The power of the demons will be greater than usual, the immaculate
purity of our religious community and of others, will withered to the
point that very few Christians will want
to obey the true Sovereign Pontiff and the Roman Church
with a sincere heart and perfect charity. At the decisive moment of
this crisis, a personage
not canonically elected, raised to the Pontificate,
will endeavor to administer shrewdly to many the mortal poison of his
error.
7.
Some preachers will keep silent about the truth and, denying the
truth, they will trample upon the truth. The sanctity of life will be
held in derision by those who only profess it outwardly, and for this
reason Our Lord Jesus Christ will send
them not a worthy Pastor, but a destroyer.”
Fr.
Mitch Pacwa also does not follow the
example of great prophets of our time such as Archbishop Fulton Sheen
and Cardinal Biffi, but consistently remains silent about the very
negative fruits of what Pope Francis says and writes. On Threshold of
Hope (07/18/17), when a person in the studio audience asked a
question about these negative fruits of what Pope Francis says and
writes, Fr. Pacwa answered in a smooth, politically correct way,
almost making the person who asked such a question feel imprudent for
asking such a question.
A
subtle and hidden, but powerful ploy of the elite to greatly diminish
the protection of the family and of society today is to promote the
vocation of the husband and of the wife, not according to Sacred
Scripture or Divine Revelation, but according to the world and
secular feminism. It is the man who has been given the vocation from
God, not from the world, to protect his wife, family and society. In
a powerful and hidden way, the elite of the world have pushed the
father of the family aside or at least made if very politically
incorrect to speak about this God-intended protection of the family
and of society. The few truly Christian men in positions to speak and
to be listened to by the public have been silenced or at least pushed
out of the public square. If a man prays his vocation can be lived
according to God. Among other things, the wife has the God-given
vocation to inspire her husband, as the heart of the family. Studies
have shown that if the mother of the family goes to church regularly
without her husband, less than 5% of the children continue this
practice later, while if the father of the family goes to church
regularly without his wife, more than 40% of the children continue
this practice later. This is the way God has made man and woman, with
equal but different roles. The world, with secular feminism, sees
things from the point of view of power, not of service, and thus
seeks to pit man against women, e vice versa, to destroy the family.
Satan wants to pervert the fundamental God-given vocations of man and
woman so as to weaken and destroy the family, the fundamental cell of
society. Lenin and Stalin promoted secular feminism so as to take
away this protection and weaken the family so as to have very little
resistance to their dictatorship. It is very politically correct,
even in the Catholic Church, to promote the role of woman according
to the world and secular feminism, instead of according to the great
call of women according to God as shown in the lives of the saints
for 2000 years, which today is considered old fashioned and
prejudice. EWTN offers programs which talk about “EMPOWERING
WOMEN”, but very rarely does this “empowerment” entail living
as the women saints lived in the past according to their great
God-given vocation. This “empowerment” promoted even in the
Catholic mass media today is usually very similar to what secular
feminism promotes. The greatest creature every created is the Mother
of God, “the handmaid of the Lord” (Lk 1:38)!!! “For he has
regarded the low estate of his handmaiden. For behold, henceforth all
generations will call me blessed; for he who is mighty has done great
things for me, and holy is his name” (Lk 1:48-49)! We are living in
the period most deceptive in the history of the world and of the
Church (Mt 24:24; 2Thess 2:11-12; Dan 12:8-10; Rev 13:7). Thus it is
even more important to have humility (Mt 11:29-30) today to seek
together the Truth from God in dialogue which truly sets us free (Jn
8:32) which and strengthens and builds up family and society. Great
damage is done by the promotion of political correctness through the
mass media which is very highly controlled by the real, hidden rulers
of the world.
Recently,
with the crisis in the Church and in the Marian Movement of Priests,
Father Quartilio Gabrielli, the first successor of Don Stefano Gobbi,
asked Father Ivan Pojavnik, a professor emeritus of theology at the
faculty of Ljubljana-Slovenia, who has published various theological
studies on the Second Vatican Council and on the Church, to offer his
insights and guidance regarding how the Movement should relate with
the present "Bishop of Rome":
“Among
other things, Father Ivan wrote in Father Quartilio’s letter: Not
understanding well some of Our Lady's messages and ignoring other
uncomfortable ones, Fr. Larroque's circular letter defends a total
and unconditional infallibility of Pope Francis. With this great
mistake he has confirmed those members
of the Movement WHO SLEEP
AS NAIVE CHILDREN IN GETHSEMANE at this
hour of the Church’s agony, and he has put to sleep many others. In
addition, by virtue of its ambiguity, the circular letter has led a
number of members away from the Movement of Our Lady to another
movement. … Don Stefano said, "We must be intelligent
children, that is, CHILDREN WITH OPEN
EYES, and not stupid children, that is,
with eyes closed." … As prophetically predicted by Don Stefano
in the meditation on Gideon's battle against the Madianites (Judges
ch7), only a remnant of the Movement will be ready for the heroic
climb of Calvary up to the end, but with this remnant Our Lady will
obtain her triumph.” (Visit: “The Rosary: The Prayer of the
Little Ones for the Victory”;
http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2016/03/rosary-victory.html)
(How To Relate With the Present ‘Bishop of Rome’;
http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2017/06/how-to-relate-with-present-bishop-of.html).
Are
the bishops and priests today and the ones in charge at EWTN worried
about the great danger of NOT CONFIRMING
the souls “who sleep as naïve children in Gethsemane”?!?
In
this situation in the Church today, read the words of Father
Quartilio Gabrielli as well as the full response of Father Ivan
Pojavnik in both English and Italian at:
“Ready
To Die For Christ Truth”
(http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2017/05/ready-to-die-for-christ-truth.html;
https://josephdwight.wordpress.com/2017/06/07/ready-to-die-for-christ-truth/;
https://www.scribd.com/document/350644809/Ready-To-Die-For-Christ-Truth).
A
priest who comes to me, unofficially sent by the bishop, to spy on
me, while criticizing my suspicions of
Pope Francis, said to me (December 27, 2017), how nicely Pope Francis
spoke recently about humility and charity. I responded to him: “Is
it humility and charity to never dialogue with four cardinals
regarding the “Dubia” and that there are grave problems with
Amoris Laetitia?” He did not have an answer. I then said to him
that Jesus said you will know them by their fruits, not by their
beautiful words. “Beware of false
prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are
ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits” (Mt 7:15-20).
Jesus did not say “you will know them by their leaves”, which
would be their nice words!
DOES
THE TRUTH COME FROM GOD OR FROM THE CHURCH? Is
the Church the handmaid of the Truth of the Author of the Truth? How
many today make themselves like little gods by sliding into
subjectivism and relativism, as did our first parents: “But
the serpent said to the woman, "You will not die. For God knows
that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be
like God, knowing good and evil" (Gen 3:4-5)”. Many modern
philosophers led us into the “COPERNICAN REVOLUTION” of not
seeking anymore reality and the truth outside of ourselves by way of
our five senses but inside of ourselves, as if each one of us “will
be like God”. (“Who Decides The
Truth?”;
http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2014/06/who-decides-truth.html).
We
have arrived to the point today that the
few priests who do as the GOOD SHEPHERD,
ready to lay down their lives for the sheep (Jn 10:11), who preach
the WHOLE
Gospel and ALL
of the teachings of the Magisterium of the Church, are labeled
ridged and old-fashioned, insensitive, lacking in compassion,
divisive, judgmental, moralists. While at the same time “THE
HIRELINGS” (Jn 10:12), the
priests and bishops who maintain a culpable silence,
the ones who tell their people what they think they want to hear, are
seen as understanding, sympathetic, pastorally sensitive and
merciful. Of course it is more ego satisfying and much easier to be
“politically correct” and to go along with the people and a
powerful dictator than to follow the uncomfortable Truth, who is
Christ Crucified and humiliated! This cowardly way of doing things is
not authentic and true mercy! THIS IS
FALSE LOVE, MISGUIDED COMPASSION, false
mercy, false ecumenism, that does not lead to paradise for all
eternity!?! “Woe to you, when all men
speak well of you, for so their fathers did
to the false prophets” (Lk 6:26). “For
they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God” (Jn
12:43). “How can you believe, who receive glory from one another
and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?” (Jn
5:44; Gal 1:10).
I
AM A CATHOLIC. It is very important to
keep in mind some very fundamental Truths. One Truth that may seem
obvious, but no longer today in an atmosphere totally dominated by
subjectivism and relativism, is that the
Truth comes from God, not from me or any other creature and also not
from the Church, and thus no priest,
bishop or pope can change the Truth of Divine Revelation which is
well summarized in the Catechism of the Catholic Church for adults. I
am not referring to the catechism that Pope Francis published this
year, 2017! I am referring to the CCC published in 1992 by Pope John
Paul II which the very numerous puppets of our mortal enemy, Satan,
have managed to get the great majority of the diocese in the world to
forget about, or to put aside or to scorn, especially in most
seminaries, as old and out of date for out new “modern church”!
Our
Lady referred to this CATECHISM OF POPE JOHN PAUL II:
(January
1, 1993; “To The Priests Our Lady’s Beloved Sons”;
http://our-lady-priests.blogspot.it/):
“The
great trial has come for the Church, so
violated by the evil spirits, so
divided in its unity, so darkened in its holiness. See how error has
flooded throughout it, error which leads to the loss of the true
faith. Apostasy is spreading everywhere. A special gift of my
Immaculate Heart for these times of yours is the CATECHISM
OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, which
my Pope has wished to promulgate, to be as it were his shining last
testament. But how many are those pastors who grope about in the
mist, become speechless out of fear or compromise, and who no longer
defend their flocks from the many rapacious wolves! Many priestly and
consecrated lives have become dried up by impurity, seduced by
pleasures and the search for comfort and well-being. The faithful are
being drawn in by the enticements of a world which has become pagan,
or by the countless sects which are spreading more and more. The hour
of its great trial has above all come for the Church, because it will
be shaken by the lack of faith, obscured by apostasy, wounded by
betrayal, abandoned by its children, divided by schisms, possessed
and dominated by Freemasonry, turned into fertile soil from which
will spring up the wicked tree of the man of iniquity, the
Antichrist, who will bring his kingdom into its interior.”
EWTN
has great influence. Just because the directors of EWTN are not
bishops or cardinals, they cannot hide
behind cardinals and bishops who are not faithful to the constant and
authentic Magisterium of the Church.
Mother Angelica knew this well because she had at heart the true
glory of God, Who is the Truth (Jn 14:6), and the salvation of souls
who can only find true freedom and salvation in the truth (Jn 8:32)!
At
least is seems that EWTN allows Raymond Arroyo to offer a critique of
some of the things that Pope Francis says and writes with the help of
Fr Gerald Murray and Robert Royal on the World Over.
In
a recent interview with OnePeterFive (September 2017) which Raymond
Arroyo very briefly mentioned, Bishop
Athanasius Schneider said that some of
the “ambiguous affirmations” in
Amoris Laetitia are “causing a moral
and disciplinary anarchy in the life of the Church.”
Bishop Schneider continues: “This principle of fraternal correction
inside the Church was valid at all times, even towards the Pope, and
so it should be valid in our times as well. Unfortunately, whoever
in our days dares to speak the truth –
even when he does it with respect towards the Pastors of the Church –
is classified as an enemy of the unity,
as it likewise happened to Saint Paul; for, he had stated: “I have
turned into your enemy simply by saying the truth to you” (Gal.
4:16). … Those who are afraid of weakening Church unity by
criticizing Pope Francis’ teachings must remember that the Pope is
the servant of the Church. He is the first who has to obey in an
exemplary manner all the truths of the unchanging and constant
Magisterium, because he is only an
administrator, and not an owner, of the Catholic truths.
The Pope must constantly bind himself and the Church to obedience to
God’s word. When the Pope is himself tolerating a wide
dissemination of obvious errors of faith and of grave abuses of the
sacraments (like the admittance of unrepentant adulterers to the
sacraments), the bishops should not
behave themselves like SERVILE EMPLOYEES wrapping themselves in
silence.”
“So
everyone who acknowledges ME (the Truth
– Jn 14:6) before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who
is in heaven; but whoever denies me before men, I also will deny
before my Father who is in heaven” (Mt 10:32-33).
For
the most part, why does EWTN along with a great number of bishops and
cardinals today “behave themselves
like SERVILE EMPLOYEES wrapping themselves in silence”? Is
Pope Francis the source of the Truth or is God the source of the
Truth??? This is the moment of the great apostasy (2Thess 2:3-4).
This is the moment when “the Church will
be full of those who accept compromise” (Our Lady; Akita, Japan;
October 13, 1973). This is the moment when
“the Church will enter the glory of the kingdom only through this
final Passover, when she will follow her Lord in his death and
Resurrection” (CCC 677). This is the moment when the true followers
of Christ will be humiliated and will lose their followers as Jesus
did on the Cross. These are truly the times when the true followers
of Christ will be killed in the name of God: “Indeed, the hour is
coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to
God” (Jn 16:2; Mt 24:9)! These are the times when “Only a Remnant
Will Remain Faithful to the Truth”
(http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2017/09/only-remnant-will-remain-faithful-to.html).
Is EWTN and the priests and bishops today willing to follow Christ
all the way or only as far as each one decides according to his own
human intelligence and wisdom and political correctness in the Church
today?
Dear
brothers and sisters in Christ, let us heed the constant call of Our
Lady who asks us every time she appears to pray
for our religious leaders because their
responsibility is very great, and also very difficult in these times
full of subtle deceptions and half truths. The majority of the few
religious leaders in this period of the great tribulation who remain
faithful to the truth will be killed as good pastors of their sheep”
The
good pastor protects the sheep from the wolf (Jn 10:11). Today, due
to less prayer and more sin than ever before, the wolf, Satan,
“disguises himself as an angel of
light” (2Cor 11:14) better than ever
before. Unlike Mother Angelica, the leaders of EWTN, by succumbing to
being politically correct in the Church today, are not doing well
their fundamental job of protecting the sheep, the immortal souls,
from the very well hidden and promoted poisons in half truths,
nuances, innuendos and outright lies from very high ranking clerics
in the Church today (John 10). EWTN has slid back into what the
Second Vatican Council sought to eradicate - to bring the Church back
to true humility and to eliminate in the Church this triumphalism of
being the true Church, with the fullness of Truth and the means of
sanctification (LG 8) (“Evangelization VS
the Trilogy of Devils in the Church: Triumphalism, Clericalism and
Juridicalism”; http://trueevangelization.blogspot.com).
In recent years one sees on EWTN this certain complacency
of self righteousness or sureness of self, instead of the attitude of
Nineveh (Jonah 3) and humility with Mary at the foot of the cross and
preparation as the Church confronts her crucifixion with Jesus (CCC
677) in this period of time of the great tribulation
(Mt 24,21). This reminds me of so many people today who are happy to
be active in the Church, like being happily protagonists inside a
house, but they refuse to listen to the warnings or consider the
possibility that the roof and house are on fire! Is this not the real
message of Our Lady at Fatima, at La Salette, at Akita, Japan and at
many other apparitions sites. But this is not politically correct,
this is alarmism, this is not what people want to hear! Our Lady was
imprudent and she exaggerated, but we are people of the modern church
with much human wisdom and intelligence!?!?!
Sister
Lucy of Fatima said to Father Agostino Fuentes, the postulator of the
cause of beatification of Giacinta e Francesco (December 26, 1957):
“Our Lady is very displeased because it is not taken into account
her message of 1917. Neither the good nor the bad have held them in
consideration. Believe me my Father, the Lord will punish the world
very soon; the punishment is immanent! Many nations will disappear
from the face of the earth, many nations will be annihilated. … THE
DEVIL KNOWS THAT THE RELIGIOUS AND THE PRIESTS, NOT LIVING UP TO
THEIR BEAUTIFUL VOCATION, DRAG MANY SOULS TO HELL. … We have at our
disposition TWO EFFICACIOUS MEANS: Prayer and Sacrifice. … The
third time she said that, the other means exhausted and despised by
men, He will give with trembling the last anchor of salvation which
is the Most Holy Virgin in person, signs of tears, messages of seers
spread in all the parts of the earth. Our Lady said that if we do
not listen and if we still offend we will not be pardoned. Father,
it is urgent that we realize this terrible reality. WE
DO NOT WANT TO FILL THE SOULS WITH FEAR, BUT ONLY IT IS URGENT A
RECALL TO REALITY. From when the
Holy Virgin gave such a great efficaciousness to the Rosary, there
does not exist any material, spiritual, national or international
problem that cannot be resolved with THE HOLY ROSARY AND WITH OUR
SACRIFICES. To recite it with devotion will be to consol Mary and to
wipe away so many tears from her Immaculate Heart. … Our Lady
expressly said: “We are approaching the end times”.”
Saint
Michael the Archangel at Garabandal, sent by Our Lady, (Spain, 1965)
said: “Many Cardinal, many Bishops and
many Priests are on the road to perdition and with them they are
bringing many souls”!

There
is less prayer than ever before, more
sin than ever before, even worse, indifference as if sin no longer
exists, and so we have given much greater power to “the father of
lies”, Satan (Jn 8:44). In particular Satan has more power to
“disguise himself as an angel of
light” (2Cor 11:14), to offer his
very deadly beautiful lies as if they were the “truth that sets us
free” (Jn 8:32)!
Thus
it is very important in these times of
great confusion, when even Catholic
bishops are no longer in agreement about the fundamentals of our
faith and morals, to not only pray much and to study the Catechism of
the Catholic Church for adults, but to
keep our eyes open so as not to fall into the beautiful lies of Satan
presented as if they were the Truth!
