The Mother of God at Fatima called for sacrifices and prayers for sinners: "[M]ake sacrifices for sinners, for many souls go to hell because there is no one to offer prayers and sacrifices for them." In an interview with LifeSiteNews' Diane Montana on March 7, Bishop Athanasius Schneider, in speaking of Pope Francis's sex abuse summit, said: "There are mighty clerical clans among bishops and cardinals who want... the intrinsic evil of homosexual acts... [to be] acceptable." These "mighty clerical clans... want... the intrinsic evil" of sin to be "acceptable" according to Schneider. Who are these clansmen? The clansmen are Francis's hand picked bishops and cardinals who ran the summit. We must, as the Mother of God said, pray and offer sacrifices for Francis, his "mighty clerical clans" and for the restoration of the Church. Pray an Our Father now, and a decade of the rosary if you have time, for the restorat...

Almost everyone seems to have forgotten that that Cardinal George Pell wrote two letter on May 3 and 5, 2017 reprimanding the Vatican's real estate body APSA for "serious irregularities" and lack of cooperation in the "'moment of truth' for economic reforms." (National Catholic Register, "Cardinal Pell Reprimands Vatican's Real Estate Body for Exceeding it's Authority," May 10, 2017) A few months after the reprimands, by coincidence, Pell was shipped off to Australia to face decade old accusations which ended in a shady secret trail. A few more months later, again by coincidence, Pope Francis installed his shady personal friend Archbishop Gustavo Zanchetta at the APSA who even back then according to the Argentine press was allegedly involved in shady economic mismanagement and who according to recently reported Argentine official Church documents is allegedly a gay pervert. Pray an Our Father now for the restoration of the Churc...

Does Pope Francis's Amoris Laetitia as confirmed by the Argentina Letter teach the sin against Hope which is presumption? Francis's teaching apparently declares that those committing adulterous sexual sin can receive Communion and hope to be saved without contrition or are "hoping to obtain forgiveness without conversion." The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches: "[P]resumption... [is] hoping to obtain forgiveness without conversion." (CCC, n. 2092) Amoris Laetitia apparently teaches a type of Martin Luther's Faith Alone heresy of "certain[ty] of salvation without... contrition" which is simply another version of the sin of presumption. The theologian Dr. Lawrence Feingold explains the heresy: "[T]he original doctrine of Luther presumed to be certain of salvation without the necessity of contrition." (Course Notes for Fundamental Moral Theology, December 2009 p. 160) Pray an Our Father now for the restoration of ...

" In this extremely painful situation, we would like to suggest that every bishop who truly desires to follow Christ in His immutable Truth possesses a reservoir of power and grace in this supreme crisis. It lies in the hearts all of those of his faithful who truly seek and hunger to follow Christ, and in their prayers for personal and collective interior purification. And it is each individual bishop who has the power and authority to harness and direct these hearts and these graces."   - James Larson It is the Catholic Monitor's honor to post Catholic scholar James Larson's analysis and Proposal for the U.S. Bishops. Larson is an American independent scholar who resembles the British independent scholar Christopher Dawson in depth of analysis and learning.     http://rosarytotheinterior.com/ Letter to All U.S. Bishops posted below: Letter to All The Bishops   On Ash Wednesday, March 6, 2019, we will be ...

LifeSiteNews reported: "[T]he words of the priest who signed the second document [testimony], "Zanchetta was a personal friend of the Holy Father." (LifeSiteNews, "Pope Francis knew of Bishop's abuse years before Vatican posting, new document indicate," February 27, 2019) Pope Francis's "personal friend" Archbishop Gustavo Zanchetta, who apparently lives "in Casa Santa Marta, where Francis himself resides," is a gay pervert according to the document. (Lifesitenews, "Vatican sex abuse cover-up unravels as prosecutors home in on bishop protected by Pope Francis," February 18, 2019) That is unless the testimony on Zanchetta by Argentinian Church officials is only them lying through their teeth about the "personal friend" of Francis. Is lying through your teeth about your boss's "personal friend" something any normal person is going to do? To put this situation in perspective, imagine Presid...

If the Catholic resistance isn't praying and fighting for love of God for our souls and for the souls of others then we are lost. Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange put the immensity of the stakes well: - "Our chief concern will be the immensity of the human soul." - "[W]hat hell is: that boundless void which can never be filled; the unmeasured depths of the soul forever deprived of that sovereign good which alone could fill those depths." - "[H]eaven is, an instantaneous moment which will never pass away: the unchanging possession of life everlasting, of God who alone can fill the boundless depths of the human will... our will is illumined not merely by sense and imagination but by the intellect which, grasping universal reality, grasps likewise universal and boundless good which, speaking concretely, is found in God alone, the infinite good." - "Life everlasting then throws great light on our life here below. It draws us up out of our life he...

St. Thomas Aquinas says "[I]f not pertinaciously, then he is not a heretic, but only one who errors." (Encyclopedia of Medieval Philosophy Between 500 and 1500, St 2-2 q.5) In Latin pertinacious means "perversely persistent." (Vocabulary.com) Pope Francis appears to want to be perversely persistent in pushing the error that the death penalty is "inadmissible" with his newest statement that his contradiction of Church teaching is "matured" church teaching. Thomist theologian Peter Kwasnieski said on Francis's contradiction of Catholic teaching: "Whether Francis is a formal heretic - that is, fully aware that what he is teaching on capital punishment is contrary to Catholic doctrine, and proves pertinacious in maintaining his position in spite of rebuke - is a matter to be adjudicated by the College of Cardinals." (LifeSiteNews, "Pope's change to Catechism contradicts natural law and deposit of Faith," August ...

The Guardian reported that Nicolas Maduro's troops on Friday opened gunfire on protesters injuring many indigenous people and "killed a Pemon [indigenous] woman, Zoraida Rodriguez, after pro-opposition [indigenous] protesters tried to stop their convoy passing." Cartographer Salomon Martinez traveling with with Pemon injured because "several of his relatives were hit" said: "We want the world to know what is happening, that the blood of Venezuelan people is being spilled and the government is trying to hide it... They are killing the Indigenous on their land." (The Guardian, "'Venezuelan blood is being spilled': tensions flares near border with Brazil," February 24, 2019) The article reported that three people "were killed and more than 20 injured" as the Pemon tribal leaders are fleeing for their lives. "Candy, a leader of the indigenous Pemon Territorial Guard, told the Guardian": "I am protecting ...

Nicolas Maduro on a number of occasions likened himself to Joseph Stalin in looks. He and his military are indeed Stalinist in reality in that they are starving Venezuela as Stalin committed mass genocide by starving millions in the Ukraine. The only difference between the starvation policies of Stalin and Maduro is that the dictator's military is getting rich from the starvation by "trafficking in food" according to the National Public Radio (NRP): "In Venezuela, food has become so scarce it's now being sold on the black market. One person tells Associated Press, "it's a better business than drugs." "And the food traffickers are... the nation's military... Maduro gave the military complete control of the food supply." (NPR, "As Venezuelans go Hungry, the Military is Trafficking in Food," January 9, 2017) NRP in the article reported the apparent reason why the Venezuelan military is allowing Maduro to starve the p...

The heroic indigenous Venezuelan Pemon tribe armed with bows and arrows clashed with the Venezuelan regime's troops in a remote area near the northern border of Brazil. Bloomberg reported in an article that the Pemon Tribe attempted a peaceful blockade "to prevent the military from reaching the border" so the regime wouldn't stop food and medicine entering the country to relieve those in need. In the article, the 30-year-old Pemon Marcel Perez in an interview said: "We made a blockade, without any weapons but our traditional bows and arrows... They had tanks, buses and a lot of soldiers. And so they decided to shoot at us with live bullets." (Bloomberg, "Maduro's Troops Kill 1; Guaido Defies Travel Ban at Border," February 22, 2019) Bloomberg reported that police said "Zoraida Rodriguez, 45, was killed and 15 people were wounded... The Pemons captured three lieutenants... A general was negotiating with the community for their ret...

Jose Azel, a senior scholar at the University of Miami, in the respected international relations quarterly journal World Affairs wrote a review of a book by Pope Francis, which he wrote in 1998 while he was still the then Archbishop of Buenos Aires, which apparently the pontiff and Vatican don't want publicized or read. There is only one copy of Jorge Mario Bergoglio's book "Dialogos Entre Juan Pablo y Fidel Castro [Dialogue between John Paul II and Fidel Castro]" available on Amazon and it is selling for $864. The Spanish speaking Azel in his review of the book reported "[i]n my reading of the pope's complex Spanish prose...": - "he favors socialism over capitalism provided it incorporates theism..." - "He does not take issue with Fidel Castro's claim that 'Karl Marx's doctrine is very close to the Sermon on the Mount'... " - "... and views the Cuban polity [form of government] as in harmony with the C...

According to a Spanish language Neo Club Press website article, the former head of "the medical services of the Revolution Armed Armed Forces" Roberto Ortega said that Pope Francis's longtime close Latin American collaborator and ally Cardinal Jamie Ortega was a "blackmailed" Communist operative. The article said the Communist Cuban "regime takes advantage of the cardinal's homosexual condition to blackmail him": (Neo Club Press, "Cardinal Jamie Ortega is being blakmailed for homosexuality," April 30, 2012) "[A]n agent who worked for intelligence was the cardinal's husband," said Roberto Ortega "All religions are penetrated (by the State Security) including the Catholic Church and its highest authority, the cardinal." Reuters reported the close relationship of Ortega to the Communist regime and Francis: "Ortega, 78, enjoys unrivaled access among religious leaders to Cuban President Raul Castro and he...

- Updated December 2, 2019 Apparently, Steve Skojec's One Peter Five is accusing the Catholic resistance against the errors of Francis of schism. These persons need to realize the Arian heretics were saying the same thing as One Peter Five is saying about the Catholic resistance about St. Athanasius. That he was in schism. The historian Warren Carroll admitted that Pope Liberius excommunicated Athanasius which isn't an infallible papal action. (EWTN.com, "Has any Pope been Guilty of Heresy") (As an interesting note, in the article above the historian Carroll said "I deny that any Pope was ever a heretic." He wrote this before Francis) The saint was resisting the Arian heretic bishops outside the papal approval. Cardinal John Henry Newman said he ordained priests against the authority of the Arian heretical bishops (apparently outside papal approval). Newman in his "The Development of Christian Doctrine" denied that Bishop Athanasius...

In Superman comics there is a bizarro world where everything is inverted or "the exact opposite" of reality: "[G]ood is bad, wrong is right,.. insanity is sane, liberty is tyranny." (Urban Dictionary, "bizarro world") We recently saw the bizarro world with the left and the leftist media directing their hatred at the calm Catholic pro-life Covington kids because they smiled: At a liar who was with one of two racist lunatic groups who were publicly verbally shouting things leftists usually denounce such as racist and homophobic bigotry at the Covington kids. Now, as the Twightlight Zone music plays, we are about to enter the bizarro world of Pope Francis's sex abuse synod. Journalist Hilary White on her blog reported that Pope Francis's head of the upcoming sex abuse synod Cardinal Blasé Cupich at a press conference said it "remain[s] at the level, of hypothesis" responding to the question: "On the "hypothesis" ...

Cardinal John Henry Newman expert Fr. John Hunwicke says: "I suggest that Jorge Bergoglio's formal refusal to respond to the Five Dubia constituted a formal entry into a period of Temporary Suspense of the function of his Petrine Magisterium." (Liturgical Notes, "Suspense of the Magisterium," November 25, 2016) Hunwicke gets this from Cardinal Newman which means there is a temporary "cessation of the Magisterial teaching or office during a 'suspense.'" Liturgical Notes, "The temporary suspense of the Ecclesia Dozens," February 26, 2018) Newman saw the Suspense of the Magisterium during the "Arian controversy, in which the great majority of the Bishops... including the Successor of S Peter, were either heretics or were cowed into silence" according to Hunwicke. The Newman expert by this means that the Arian compromised pope and bishops as well as Pope Francis and those who follow him into error "lost...

Pope Francis has decided to throw under the bus his long time close collaborator ex-Cardinal Theodore McCarrick. McCarrick helped Francis get elected pope, helped him promote pro-gay bishops and construct with Cardinal Pietro Parolin the Vatican's China deal that betrayed the Chinese Catholic underground Church. The laicization of McCarrick appears to be a obviously public relations ploy to show Francis is tough on sex abuse predators and their cover-up bishops just before a anti-sex abuse conference even as he promotes almost all of McCarrick's pro-gay collaborators and his hand picked pro-gay Cardinal Blasé Cupich who will head the so-called anti-sex abuse Vatican meeting. The current pope brought McCarrick back into power after Pope Benedict XVI had de-legitimized him by disallowing him from taking part in any type of ministry or activity. Once the pope brought him back to power he kept him in power until he made Francis look bad especially after the Archbishop Carl...

Pope Francis's Vatican official Fr. Antonio Spadaro called the mouthpiece of the pope apparently approved of a book, "In the Closet of the Vatican: Power, Homosexuality Hypocrisy," by gay activist and pro-Francis Frederic Martel even giving an interview for the book. The apparently Vatican approved book reports according to Breitbart that: "Francis had been informed that Cardinal Theodore McCarrick had been having sexual relations with seminarians and priests, but considered this facts "insufficient to condemn him." (Breitbart, "Report: Pope knew of McCarrick's Crimes, considered them Unimportant," February 17, 2019) It is important to repeat that the Breitbart article revealed that the pro-Francis and gay activist author said the pope knew that McCarrick was a predator but judged this fact "insufficient to condemn him" quoting Martel. Moreover, the article said: "Martel claims to have met with a number of Vatican of...

Now that ex-Cardinal Theodore McCarrick has been laicized, or removed from the priesthood, the question that remains: Is Pope Francis a McCarrickist and a Homosexualist? If Francis is a McCarrickist and Homosexualist that doesn't mean he is a gay sex abusing predator. It means that like McCarrick, and his close American bishop associates, he protected and covered-up for predators as well as promotes a homosexual and sexual moral agenda counter to the infallible Catholic moral teachings. McCarrick and his collaborators at the 2014 Synod on the Family were the biggest pushers of Communion for those in an objective state of adultery which according to Fr. Z is only a means to eventually make the intrinsically evil sexual act of homosexuality acceptable. Francis used McCarrick collaborators and that Synod to eventually produce his papacy's center piece document Amoris Laetitia which apparently is ultimately a ploy to make homosexuality acceptable which Francis...

The Wall Street Journal reported that one of the Pope's closest advisers C9 Cardinal Sean O'Malley accused Pope Francis of causing "a scandal": "O'Malley, the Journal reported, met with top aides to Francis in 2017, concern that... an appeals panel set up by the pontiff had reduced the punishment of priests found guilty of abusing minors." "'If this gets out, it will cause a scandal,' the Journal quoted O'Malley as telling Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican's secretary of state, and other Vatican officials." (Boston Globe, "Cardinal O'Malley and Pope Francis had disagreements over clergy abuse crisis, report says," February 15, 2019) The Journal article, also, reported that Francis never created a supposedly O'Malley inspired "special tribunal to try bishops who ignore or cover up abuse." Moreover, the article recounted that O'Malley said "I really don't know the answer" ...

After Pope Francis wrote God wills "a diversity of religions" which infers the heresy of religious indifferentism in the "Document on Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living," Cardinal Gerhard Müller in his "Manifesto of Faith" said: "The Church is the universal sacrament of salvation in Jesus Christ..." "... To keep silent about these and other truths of the Faith... [is] 'the price of their apostasy' (CCC 675); it is the fraud of the Antichrist." Cardinal Robert Sarah connected "religious indifference" and the "silent apostasy": "This 'religious indifference' and 'silent apostasy'... [is] the major challenge the Church has to take up today." (LifeSiteNews, "Vatican Cardinal warns of 'silent apostasy'; says Catholic charities must evangelize," 2011) Pope John Paul II said that a "vision of man" which is "apart from Christ" or a k...
