  • Cardinal: Archbishop Lefebvre Will One Day Be Recognized As a Doctor of the Church; Was “Prophetic”

    Cardinal: Archbishop Lefebvre Will One Day Be Recognized As a Doctor of the Church; Was “Prophetic”

    Cardinal: Archbishop Lefebvre Will One Day Be Recognized as a Doctor of the Church; Was “Prophetic” Professor Armin Schwibach, a teacher of philosophy and Rome correspondent for the Austrian website Kath.net, has reported on Twitter that a cardinal has recently made to him some supportive comments about Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, the deceased founder of the Society of St. Pius X. On August 21, Schwibach wrote: “As a cardinal recently stated: Archbishop Lefebvre will one day recognized as a Doctor of the Church. Therefore, ‘others’ have to measure up to him.” Catholic Family News reached out to Professor Schwibach, and he confirmed that indeed these words have only recently been spoken to him by a cardinal of the Catholic Church. On another occasion, according to Schwibach, this same cardinal added that Lefebvre was “prophetic.” However, the cardinal spoke these words privately does not wish to say so in public. This reliable fact, as revealed by Schwibach, is of great importance for the Catholic Church since it shows that there are other high-ranking prelates besides Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò and Bishop Athanasius Schneider who are seeing the validity of Archbishop Lefebvre’s own sustained criticism of the Second Vatican Council, of aspects of the post- conciliar Magisterium, and of the Novus Ordo Mass. Time for a Respectful Hearing It is to be hoped that this cardinal, as well as other prelates who are thinking in similar terms, would come out candidly into the public. It is time that this traditionalist position, which has been suppressed and ostracized for so many decades, to now be respectfully heard.

  • Signs and Wonders

    Signs and Wonders

    www.amazingdiscoveries.org 2011 Signs and Wonders Do you believe God exists? Why? There are many reasons people believe in God. Some base their beliefs on the teaching of Scripture, or perhaps on role models and people they admire. Some say they've been convinced by the Holy Spirit of His presence in their lives. Others had an emotional experience or even saw something amazing that led them to believe God is real. The Holy Spirit is at work in the world, but we need to ensure that the spirit we choose to listen to is in fact the Spirit of God. While supernatural signs and wonders have drawn many to God—including Saul, who became Paul, the world’s most famous missionary—we must be careful not to be guided exclusively by circumstances and emotions. In fact, Hebrews 11:1 tells us that faith is the evidence of what we do not see. As humans, what we can see is never the whole picture. When Jesus was on Earth, He performed many supernatural miracles and signs. But even then, many people still didn’t believe He was God (John 12:37). In Matthew 12, we read of some of the Jewish religious leaders who ask Jesus for a sign from heaven. Jesus responds by telling them, “An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign” (Matthew 12:39). Later He tells the Jews through a parable that if the ancient law and prophecies He had given them could not convince them, neither could a miraculous sign (Luke 16:19-31).

    “Shining the Light of Christ with Mary and the Luminous Mysteries of the Holy Rosary”

    “Shining the Light of Christ with Mary and the Luminous Mysteries of the Holy Rosary” October 27, 2018 St. Thomas Catholic Church The Holy Rosary • One tradition tells us that the Rosary came from Saint Dominic Guzman around the year 1221. Saint Dominic had been to southern France to preach against the Albigensian heresy, which denied the goodness of creation and held that the spirit is good but that matter (including the body) is evil. A common saying in Albigensianism was “the body is a tomb,” suggesting that true freedom is realized only when one is freed from the flesh. This heresy held that there are two supreme beings: a good god who created the spirit world, and an evil god who created the material world. Since matter was evil to the Albigensians, marriage and procreation were evil. Jesus was not thought to be human, nor was Mary considered the mother of God. Albigensianism denied the humanity of Christ. The Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus were only illusions, and the whole concept of the cross in the Christian life was rejected. Cavins, J. (2004). The Rosary: It Beats the Rhythm of Human Life. In S. Hahn & L. J. Suprenant Jr. (Eds.), Catholic for a Reason II: Scripture and the Mystery of the Mother of God (Second Edition, p. 188). Steubenville, OH: Emmaus Road Publishing. The Holy Rosary • Albigensianism, like many newer religious fads, discounted the fact that divinity intersected with humanity in Christ. In contrast to this dualism, the prayers of the Rosary continually focus on the reality of the Incarnation.

    Gaudium et Spes Labor Report September 2017 Clayton Sinyai Executive Director Among the basic rights of the human person is to be numbered the right of freely founding unions for working people. These should be able truly to represent them and to contribute to the organizing of economic life in the right way. Included is the right of freely taking part in the activity of these unions without risk of reprisal. Gaudium et Spes, Pastoral Constitution on the Church and the Modern World (1965) On the parish and diocesan level, through its agencies and institutions, the Church employs many people; it has investments; it has extensive properties for worship and mission. All the moral principles that govern the just operation of any economic endeavor apply to the Church and its agencies and institutions; indeed the Church should be exemplary. US Catholic Bishops, Economic Justice For All: Pastoral Letter on Catholic Social Teaching and the U.S. Economy (1986) Catholic social teaching endorses the right of workers to form labor unions and calls upon labor and management to establish cooperative relationships to advance their craft and the common good. When Catholic institutions and trade unions establish mutually rewarding partnerships, they teach in deed as well as in word. The Catholic Employer Project tracks labor relations at Catholic institutions across the United States. The CLN is pleased to report that we have identified approximately 500 Catholic institutions in the United States modeling Catholic social teaching through collaborative, mutually rewarding relations of collective bargaining with their direct and indirect (contract) employees.

No matter how much you have read, you can always find something new. Christ said that he would make all things new, (Apoc. 21:5) that he would establish a new covenant, and put new wine into new bottles. We have now arrived at the newest, the most recent, the last, and perhaps the best, period of human history. “Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.” 1.

    FEAST of OUR LADY of the ROSARY - OCTOBER 7TH Excerpts from America Needs Fatima and Encyclopedia Britannica

    FEAST OF OUR LADY OF THE ROSARY - OCTOBER 7TH excerpts from America Needs Fatima and encyclopedia Britannica Brief History of the Rosary The Blessed Virgin Mary first gave the Rosary to St. Dominic of Guzman in a vision in 1208, as he earnestly begged God for a solution to the Albigensian heresy. This particular heresy maintained that all material creation was evil, and only the spiritual was good, and was aggressively infecting the south of France. After St. Dominic began to preach the reciting of the Rosary, as instructed by the Blessed Virgin, the days of the Albigensian error were numbered. Our Lady of the Rosary The feast of Our Lady of the Rosary was instituted by Pope St. Pius V in honor and thanksgiving for the great naval victory of the greatly outnumber allied Christian force called the “Holy League,” against a much larger but less disciplined, Muslim fleet at Lepanto located in the waters off southwestern Greece in 1571. The "League" was formed in response to the attack against Cyprus by the Muslim Ottoman Empire, which had all the intentions of a continued invasion of Western Europe. This battle was also historically remarkable, in that it was the last and greatest engagement with oar-propelled vessels and the first great victory over a Turkish fleet. During the battle, while the fate of Christian Europe hung in the balance on October 7, 1571, the Sovereign Pontiff called for a Rosary procession in Rome. It was during that procession that the victory was decided for the Christian fleet while engage in the “Battle of Lepanto”.
