První, který je nám nejblíže a nejpřiměřenějšínašim schopnostem, je Maria. Druhý je Kristus a třetíje Bůh Otec. Abychom šli k Ježíši, je po­ třeba jít k Marii, naší Prostřednici­ Přímluvkyni.

Karel Dachovský Sarajevská 13 120 00 Praha 2 Úvod Patnáctá kapitola evangelia svatého Lukáše nám ukazuje dost idylickou situaci: Stádo ovcí se klidně popásá a pouze jedna ovce se zaběhla. Pastýřjde a hledá ji. Můžesi být jist, že stádo se mezitím nerozprchne. Naše Církev je v jiné situaci. Stádo se rozprchlo takřka celé. Kolik z pokřtěných katolíků soucítí s Církví a chce pro ni něco udělat? Ze Západu pronikají myšlenky, že papež není pro aggiornamento , ale pro restauraci. Prostě majetek a snadný život zatemňuje mysl. Kolik médií útočí na Církev a občas licoměrně dá prostor katolíkům, aby se tak dokazovalo, že jsou „objektivní“ Sleduji Lidové noviny, které ohlupují lidi. Církev je rozložená a slabá. V církevních dějinách jsou zaznamenány okamžiky krize, ale vždy se našlo hnutí, které ozdravilo společnost. Připomeňmesi františkány a dominikány 13. století, jezuity 16. století. Jaký to byl rozkvět! Naše doba si žádá toto: založení řeholí, které by plnou silou bojovaly proti interrupcím a za život. Takové řehole sice už existují (USA, Skotsko), ale mají jen několik desítek členů. Klérus 1 laici mají mít na paměti, že existuje holocaust nenarozených a je třeba proti tomu pracovat.

  • Vassula Ryden
    NOVEMBER 25/DECEMBER 8/12, 2012 Vassula Ryden: Problems with Rome, Bishops worldwide and her own Orthodox Church, but welcome in India Vassula Ryden is a controversial Greek-Orthodox "seer" who claims to receive written messages from God. The intention of this alert is to provide reliable information to the Bishops, heads of retreat centers, lay leaders in ministry, and the Catholic laity at large in the Indian Church about the status of acceptance by the Catholic and Orthodox Churches of the Greek Orthodox "seer" named Vassula Ryden and her "messages". This alert will gradually be developed into a more-detailed report* which can be viewed under the same title at the "REPORTS" section of this ministry’s web site. Interested readers are requested to check our web site periodically for updates and new articles. *This report was updated on December 8, 2012. See pages 27 ff. Also see VASSULA RYDEN-TESTIMONIES at http://ephesians-511.net/docs/VASSULA_RYDEN_TESTIMONIES.doc. That file in the "CATHOLIC ISSUES" section of our web site contains four testimonies reproduced from www.infovassula.ch, a critical website on Vassula Ryden and her "True Life in God" messages. The www.infovassula.ch website which was run by a Switzerland-based Catholic apologist Maria Laura Pio had to be shut down because of legal proceedings initiated against her in a civil court in Belgium in 2011 by the "True Life in God" [TLIG]"seer" Vassula Ryden and her team of legal experts. More of that later. The writing and publishing of this alert is immediately necessitated by the receipt of information concerning the imminent visit of Vassula Ryden to various Catholic locations in India* on the back of a trip by her to Paris and Strasbourg in France which however has elicited strong warnings from six French bishops**.

The general purpose of the congress was to deepen one's faith, to acknowledge one’s right and duty towards the mission work and to create awareness of mission needs, providing opportunity to give public witness of Christian faith to experience the common bond of faith and Catholicity of the Church and to proclaim Christ to the world. The Indian Mission Congress brought together the three Catholic Individual Churches in India - Latin, Syro-Malabar and Syro-Malankara.

They also listened as an Iraqi bishop made an impassioned plea on behalf of Iraq’s dwindling Christian population, and called on the U.S. prelates to press the Obama administration to take steps to protect religious rights in the Middle Eastern country. The meeting was on June 13-15 with public sessions the first day and a half. The rest of the time was scheduled for executive session and not open to media coverage. On the opening day, the bishops voted 171-26 to move ahead with a draft of a message on work and the economy as a way to raise the profile of growing poverty and the struggles that unemployed people are experiencing. It is expected to be ready in time for a final vote at the bishops’ fall meeting in November.

  • Catholic Candle's List of Priests & Those Who Claim to Be Priests
    Revision date: November 6, 2020 Catholic Candle’s List of Priests & Those Who Claim to be Priests This list primarily focuses on whether there is any doubt concerning the validity of the ordination of a priest whom the faithful might encounter. Note: Catholic sacramental theology requires that an ordination be treated as invalid if even the slightest reasonable doubt exists, concerning the validity of either the ordination or the ordaining bishop’s consecration. See the analyses elsewhere in Catholic Candle, which demonstrate the inherent doubtfulness of conciliar ordinations and consecrations: http://catholiccandle.neocities.org/faith/new-ordination-doubtful.html https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B49oPuI54eEGd2RRcTFSY29EYzg/view https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B49oPuI54eEGZVF5cmFvMGdZM0U/view Also, in the list below, Catholic Candle flags sedevacantist priests (or supposed priests) of which we are aware. Sedevacantism is a grave error and is schism. See this article analyzing the sedevacantist error: https://catholiccandle.neocities.org/faith/against-sedevacantism.html This is not a list of “approved” priests.

  • Is the Vatican Using Jiu-Jitsu on the SSPX?
    Is the Vatican using Jiu-Jitsu on the SSPX? “I myself saw, in the years after 1988, how the return of communities which had been separated from Rome changed their interior attitudes; I saw how returning to the bigger and broader Church enabled them to move beyond one-sided positions and broke down rigidity so that positive energies could emerge for the whole.”– Pope Benedict XVI’s 2009 Letter to World’s Bishops on the “Remission” of SSPX “Excommunications” Jiu-Jitsu is a form of Martial Arts where you use your opponent’s strengths against him. I cannot help but wonder whether this is the tactic used by today’s Vatican against the Society of St. Pius X. What is the strength of the Traditional Catholic if not a desire to be obedient; love of the papacy; filial piety; good order, and the longing to be instrumental in helping to bring an end to today’s unprecedented crisis of Faith. We now hear unofficially – that is, not directly from Pope Benedict himself – that for “regularization,” the SSPX will not be required to accept the Second Vatican Council and the New Mass. We hear the Pope is ready to grant this because he wants the SSPX to help him correct the crisis in the Church. Indeed, as I have said in the past: if it is true the SSPX does not have to accept the Council, this could be a real game-changer. It could mark the effective end of Vatican II. For it is impossible that one group of Catholics in the world could be considered “exempt” from embracing the Council, and other Catholics are still bound to accept it.
