    Just when you think it can't get any worse...

    Mary comes and warns us as any grieving Mother would.

    To axe any number of her approved apparitions or parts thereof, would be to insult her. Our Lord demonstrates much patience, but to create a new "Madonna" will surely open the door to God's just wrath.

    My Mom's been gone for almost 50 years. If anyone showed up today demeaning her character, look out! :mad:

    That is so true, if there is one thing I would fear to do , that is to insult Our Blessed Mother. By doing so we would have all Three Persons of the Blessed Trinity on our backs, Father, Son and Holy Spirit in a real rage for trying to shut down she who is the Mother of God. But they seem totally fearless , don't they? Even the demons in exorcisms don't dare try to insult Mary. But the folks in the Vatican seem perfectly at home with it all. Poor, poor people. I must pray for them at Mass tonight. I predict they have a very,very short shelf life; it won;t be long before the whole crowd of them are called to the Judgement Seat of God. May God have Mercy on them, everyone. Their poor, poor souls.

    One glaring , evil mistake. They say that Our Lady as Mother of Mercy would never never chastise the World. They are right in this. Mary would never ever throw thunder bolts.

    But she never ever said she would.

    What Our Lady has been saying is that God Himself would Chastise and Punish..as a means to Purification. This occurs time and time in Scripture. In fact when the Hebrews were the forty days in the desert getting zapped by God for foul behaviour seems to have been almost and everyday occurence...and goodness did He Zap them big time.

    But of course these World Experts in the Vatican know all this. They are a lying , scheming pack of heretical scoundrels and that's all there is to it.:):);):D

    By the way they are also implying that all the Popes and Vatican Departments that approved all these previous Marian Apparitions, such as La Salette, Akita , Kibeho and Fatima got it badly wrong, but that Pope Francis and themselves finally got it right.

    Well I know who my money is on.

    I am confident that God will never tolerate such lies about our Holy Mother's prophecies. There will be an accounting. In this video he briefly touched on some inappropriate things that took place in Portugal at WYD. I understand that they were dealing with a massive crowd, but there were some questionable scenes posted on social media from this event including a video of a DJ priest who played techno music. I saw some images during this that actually looked satanic. :eek: Sadly I think mistakes in judgement were made during this WYD. I don't know who was responsible for organizing this event but in my opinion they could have done better. :( I would be very concerned about allowing young Catholics to attend this event in the future.

    That’s why we make the Five First Saturdays in reparation for the offenses against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

    It is maybe a Sign of the Times when the Blessed Mother herself becomes a Sign of Contradiction. In some sense she was always a Sign of Contradiction to non Catholics to some extent or other. But I never dreamed that the day would dawn when the Mother of God would prove to be a Sign of Contradiction to the Vatican and the Pope. On the other hand it is easy to see that many of our Protestant sisters and Brothers have opened their hearts to her in recent years and even Islam can show respect at times.

    But not, apparently the Vatican and our Holy Father. Can we fall any lower as a Church? I doubt it.

    IV. The Cult of the Blessed Virgin in the Church

    66. Placed by the grace of God, as God's Mother, next to her Son, and exalted above all
    angels and men, Mary intervened in the mysteries of Christ and is justly honored by a special
    cult in the Church. Clearly from earliest times the Blessed Virgin is honored under the title of
    Mother of God, under whose protection the faithful took refuge in all their dangers and
    necessities.(21*) Hence after the Synod of Ephesus the cult of the people of God toward
    Mary wonderfully increased in veneration and love, in invocation and imitation, according to
    her own prophetic words: "All generations shall call me blessed, because He that is mighty
    hath done great things to me".(301) This cult, as it always existed, although it is altogether
    singular, differs essentially from the cult of adoration which is offered to the Incarnate Word,
    as well to the Father and the Holy Spirit, and it is most favorable to it. The various forms of
    piety toward the Mother of God, which the Church within the limits of sound and orthodox
    doctrine, according to the conditions of time and place, and the nature and ingenuity of the
    faithful has approved, bring it about that while the Mother is honored, the Son, through whom
    all things have their being (302) and in whom it has pleased the Father that all fullness should
    dwell,(303) is rightly known, loved and glorified and that all His commands are observed.
    67. This most Holy Synod deliberately teaches this Catholic doctrine and at the same time
    admonishes all the sons of the Church that the cult, especially the liturgical cult, of the
    Blessed Virgin, be generously fostered, and the practices and exercises of piety,
    recommended by the magisterium of the Church toward her in the course of centuries be
    made of great moment, and those decrees, which have been given in the early days regarding
    the cult of images of Christ, the Blessed Virgin and the saints, be religiously observed.(22*)
    But it exhorts theologians and preachers of the divine word to abstain zealously both from all
    gross exaggerations as well as from petty narrow-mindedness in considering the singular
    dignity of the Mother of God.(23*) Following the study of Sacred Scripture, the Holy
    Fathers, the doctors and liturgy of the Church, and under the guidance of the Church's
    magisterium, let them rightly illustrate the duties and privileges of the Blessed Virgin which
    always look to Christ, the source of all truth, sanctity and piety. Let them assiduously keep
    away from whatever, either by word or deed, could lead separated brethren or any other into
    error regarding the true doctrine of the Church. Let the faithful remember moreover that true
    devotion consists neither in sterile or transitory affection, nor in a certain vain credulity, but
    proceeds from true faith, by which we are led to know the excellence of the Mother of God,
    and we are moved to a filial love toward our mother and to the imitation of her virtues.
