Father Michel Rodrigue Facebook Post about the Warning.

Well said Fatima. It says a lot about some members. Personally as long as Fr Michel’s messages are not condemned, I’m going to continue to speak of them. We have the Fall to prepare for, so we’ll see. God bless.

 

What a nasty post.

 

Defending a priest whom no one is to judge but Jesus....from calumny....is now considered "nasty" here. Only proves every word of Fatima's reasoning.

 

No, judging the motives of people who don't share his view of Fr. Michel and his prophecies is nasty.

 

Just research.

 

I haven read any of you judging on Glenn Hudson’s thread. And thank goodness because some of us believe in Garabandal. So stop it with calling an exorcist priest a liar.

 

"Proclaimed them to the world"....ha! When his own Bishop was taken by surprise! There's one retreat where he gives homilies that someone there recorded. If you have to exaggerate to such an extent to prove a personal opinion that alone shows there's not much there, there!

Didn't know St. Faustina had the facilities for greater spread of her messages, esp. under strict protocols of a convent.....like immediate available publishing facilities or YouTube....which cannot be controlled. She couldn't go outside of the convent to retreats to speak of anything anyway. The similarities of the two would be that while such mystical connections were ongoing, as then and as today, there could not be any formal judgement by the authorities. And why people keep comparing apples and oranges for their defense shows a woeful lack of understanding of such separate callings for distinctively separate times and purposes for the chosen messengers themselves. And this Bishop now in question here would not have approved Faustina either.....even IF he were the one she submitted her messages too.....because he's prejudiced against the Warning/Illumination of Conscience! So the same people who point to her now for their inaccurate choice for a comparison would be screaming the same accusations since she and her mystical experiences would not get a go ahead from this particular Bishop either!!! Duh! Don't shut your minds to the whole picture here because it doesn't fit your chosen narrative.

 

I haven't called anyone a liar. I don't know the connection between Glenn Hudon's thread and Fr. Michel. For what it's worth, I'm not a follower of Garabandal or Medjugorje and have said so on threads about both. Some of the responses I receive haven't been very pleasant, especially from believers in Medjugorje.

 

You left out the basis that Fatima used.....the repetitive experience and excuses by same people no matter the unapproved messenger w/o including the known and entire history here. I didn't see any mention of his particular view....only the broader lack of charity for the targeted chosen priest/messenger.....which is obvious.

 

Our Lady of Guadalupe told Juan Diego, to go to the bishop with the message and signs she gave him!

Jesus complimented St. Faustina, when she chose to follow instructions from her confessor above all!

Have Jesus and Mary EVER told ANYONE, to tell ANYTHING to the world, BEFORE going to Church authorities? Getting THEIR Blessing on the message?

 

Well, then there's an established history of point of view re: PRs with you. That's a certain outlook that would prevent you from considering all of the circumstances including what the Church herself permits or even encourages for those who follow Medjugorje and Garabandal. It's a kind of prior mindset for disqualifying your judgements of the priest involved here then as well. Not criticizing but allowing for any bias which any jury selection for a trial would also have to consider and reject for a lack of impartiality.

 

You nailed it. This is the exact opposite of what Fr. Michel did!

 

And apparently Fr. Michel was told to speak of his given messages to the world while he spoke of everything to his spiritual advisor....advising everyone also to do so if they too should have such experiences.

 

There's a lot of mudslinging going on in this thread. Let Fr. Michel and his Bishop sort it out the mess. It surely won't be sorted out here.

 

Fr. Michel: "I tell you all, 7 nuclear missiles will hit the US. Write that down"

Bishop: "You what?"

 

I have made no judgements whatsoever on Fr. Michel.

 

Yes, I bet he was told to speak by the Countdown website and not by the bishop

 

Obviously Fr. Michel had permission to carry out what he was asked during his mystical experiences/messages.....founding of the Apostolate of Priests to be formed for these times; vowed lay; and families ..... from this same Bishop. Actions speak louder than legalistic narrowing of same for the sake of explaining why there was that kind of involvement all this time by this Bishop.

 

From Bishop Lemay:

1.) “I have to tell you that Fr. Michel NEVER SUBMITTED to me any of his locutions and visions for discernment or approval.”

2.) Moreover, I learnt about his teaching while reading some reports on the website (Countdown)

3.) I did not and I do not approve his teaching with regard to his locutions and visions.

4.) It is UNTRUE that he receives the full support of his bishop as written in the Countdown to the Kingdom website and book.



In my observation, I believe that Countdown website is guilty of not consulting the local bishop first.

 

Well, that's good to know since your comments would suggest otherwise. You said you don't share the view of Fatima towards Fr. Michel...and Fatima finds such messages to be helpful for these times and has defended the chosen messenger for them, considering all of the facts within this history. And we know what the good Lord has said about sitting on the fence!

When it comes to PRs I can never understand why people get so stuck in a rut of expecting them to be on same level as dogma or doctrine. There is much freedom for personal discernment and the Church can only give guidance...esp. since one local authority's pronouncement can be overturned by a future replacement authority who may be more interested or who has gathered more facts....and there aren't many such authorities today. Most simply want them to go away so as not to be bothered any longer. There has been a definite cut off in the training of priests for the mystical part of the Body of Christ...it is almost wholly denied these days....so when it "pops up" in a diocese the Bishop is often embarrassed if he even should give it the chance that the Church requires for fear of being attacked by the "secular" faithful in his sheepfold! They may be the ones who donate the most! Here we have one who doesn't seem to even relate to world happenings....so no acceptance of a need for even a correction of the conscience of the world in the Illumination of Conscience so people don't destroy themselves and the world....or any due chastisement for sins. It's a well established fact within the history of PRs of the Church....seers treated like lepers, banished...even from their own country, silenced. Unfortunately now that lack of acceptance of the mystical that comes to warn of even the obvious times, has trickled down to the grassroots so that such experiences are labeled as mentally disturbed or money grubbing efforts or just too demanding for the secular lifestyles now established.....even for the current hierarchy!
