Bc, you can check him out too. I should pm you with his name. His testimony is on the Internet. Let me know what you think.
Bc, I knew a Priest who was well into mdm. He came to a parish in our town a few years ago. I gave him a hard time quoting from Mark Mallet at him about why mdm was a heretic. I got a novena of Masses said for that Priest, had his contact details in the west of Ireland. I sent him the card. I expect other people were on to him as well as me of course, storming Heaven for him. LOL Anyway, in the end I heard he saw through her. Thank God, I remember telling him Our Lady needs great Priests like him, he should not be wasted on mdm. So now I think he is safe in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and Holy Mother Church.
Well done on all your prayers for him Julia, he was fortunate to have you on his case! I gave my man a hard time too, so much that he and his prayer group became very wary of me. I'm not sure how he fared out in the end though, he died a while back. He was a good priest though and was striving for holiness. May he rest in peace.
The people in this little country parish are so good, I am so touched by their deep faith and kindness
I also think that so long as we have parishes like this and people like this that the Church is safe. But the problem lies, not with the sheep, but their Shepherds
Padraig, I don't know if you have noticed it yet; but the glass that is half empty is also half full. So look at the Shepherds on the half full glass,and we can just pray about the Shepherds who should be in the half empty part of the Glass.
There is always a time for prayer there is also a time for prayer and speaking out. This is a time for speaking out. Several of our highest Cardinals,appointed by the Pope are heretics. That is the simple truth
At Judgment Day one thing I will never be accused of and that is cowardice,for it is not in my nature. Satan has gained a high ascendancy. In the Vatican and I will say so
My favourite example of standing up for God was when Elijah was beaking and chirping the pagans when they were making a sacrifice, and failing hard because it wouldn't light on fire.
Bc, it would be wrong to think I had anything to do with why that good Priest had a change of heart over mdm. There is no doubt there were other people praying for him, if God took action it would have been more through a group effort united in sincere prayer and with the Holy Masses, Jesus managed to change that Priests heart, or more likely opened his eyes to the reality of what mdm was. Thank You Jesus, thank You Holy Spirit, thank You Heavenly Father. All in the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Amen.
I found out in the book by Marjana Soldo that the only reason that Vienna has new Priests is because of Medjugorje. They would have had to have shut down the Seminary there otherwise.
Padraig, please don't focus on the Judas's and the Thomas's of our day. The Church of Jesus Christ is not defined by those who doubt or betray Him. It is defined by those who would die for Him. And we could be asked to do just that. Are you with us.
