A Mother's heart is breaking. He accepts this suffering, My children, because He loves you.” * * * * * * * * * * * * Vigil of November 21, 1970, Eve of Christ the King Our Lady: "Who created the pagan rituals I see before Me in the holy places of prayer? For well I remember how they, too, danced about My Son's cross, clapped their hands to the beat of each drop of His Blood. Why must you make My Son continue His anguish? See the torn flesh, the heart laid bare! Won't you stand beneath the cross with Me now?” * * * * * * * * * * * * Vigil of February 11, 1971, Eve of Our Lady of Lourdes Our Lady: "O woe to ungrateful man who cares not for the Blood that My Son shed for them! Their own destruction will be made through their own hands, in their own evil hearts. For the blackened soul can seek faster the ways of satan.” * * * * * * * * * * * * February 28, 1971, Message for the world given to Veronica by Jesus and the Eternal Father Eternal Father: "My Son has shed His Blood on an unworthy generation. Heed My word; you have called down My wrath! I have called upon you for atonement, to be turned away. You will answer to your Father, and I shall spit you out as venom from the flames.” * * * * * * * * * * * * Monday, March 8, 1971, VERONICA WITNESSES THE PASSION OF JESUS Veronica: "I screamed and winced as two soldiers took turns hitting Jesus' bare back with a long brown, leather-like strap. On this strap were metal hooks, laid horizontally all along the strap. These nail-like, claw-like fixtures on the strap cut and scratched deeply into Jesus' flesh, causing blood to pour out. It was a despicable game with the soldiers. They laughed and joked. Jesus never said a word.” Veronica: "Jesus was barefoot; His sandals had fallen off as they banged a stake higher into the pole and raised poor Jesus up so His toes barely touched the floor. The floor was just dirt and blood. The soldier remarked, 'Maybe they cut out His lying tongue. Ha, ha!' Our poor Jesus remained silent.” Veronica: "Jesus' hands were tied again with the brown, leather-like material; and He was dragged to His feet. The soldier draped His top gown over His torn back. Oh, I could see it stick to His oozing blood. Oh, it was horrible!” Veronica: "Jesus tripped and fell. He was so weak now, the beam had thrown Him off balance as He staggered. Poor Jesus fell. One nasty old man ran out of the crowd to spit and kick Him - the nasty old beast! I tried to tear off my tunic to wipe the blood out of His eyes. It was awful! He looked up at me - the soldiers wouldn't let me through. I pulled at my hair in frustration and anguish. Jesus looked at me, and I saw the love of an eternal, glorious promise.” Veronica: "Soon a soldier grabbed a man out of the crowd. This man had a long gown on with stripes down the front, and he had a turban wrapped around his head with stripes in the front. He sure didn't want to carry the beam, but they knew Jesus couldn't make it to the outskirts of the town. So this man shouldered the beam while the insane crowd taunted. Jesus was pushed and pulled along. Dirt and blood were all over Him; He was a picture of bloody grime.” Veronica: "Soon two soldiers lifted the head of the wood and three the bottom, carrying Jesus on the cross, and dropped the end into a hole. It went in with a thump! Jesus winced. And it tore His hands more. Blood was trickling down His face. He couldn't move His head. The pain was awful; each movement cut deep. He sagged a bit, but pulled upward. The sagging tore more.” * * * * * * * * * * * * 3 Our Lady of the Roses ®, Mary Help of Mothers, P.O.

I will be with you to guide you.” * * * * * * * * * * * * Vigil of June 17, 1971, First Anniversary of Our Lady of the Roses Our Lady: "Love My Son. He has shed His blood for you.

My children, I would give you the last ounce of blood from My heart if I could save you. We do not wish to see one of Our children lost to Us.” Veronica: "Our Lady is standing now beneath a very large golden cross. Jesus is upon the cross. There is a deep gash in His heart area, and blood is pouring from it. His blood is dripping into the chalice. Our Lady is holding the chalice. The blood is filling the cup. It is flowing over on to Our Lady's hand and arm. The wound in Jesus' heart is bleeding very heavily.” * * * * * * * * * * * * Vigil of September 14, 1971, Exaltation of the Holy Cross, Eve of Our Lady of Sorrows Jesus: "My children, I have come not to add to the words of My Mother, but to give you My heart that has shed every last drop of blood for you.” * * * * * * * * * * * * December 24, 1971, Eve of the Nativity of Our Lord, Christmas Eve Our Lady: "I have wandered in tears throughout the world; I have pleaded in tears throughout the world. The blood of many will be shed to defend My Son's cross.” * * * * * * * * * * * * Vigil of August 5, 1972, Eve of the Transfiguration of Our Lord Veronica: "There's a cape . there's a cape; it's made from the back of His robe. And He's walking over to the right side of the flagpole. But I can see blood on the side of His face. Oh! He's taken His cloak off His head, and there's a heavy crown of thorns on His head, and the blood is running down His face onto His white gown. And He's standing there with His hands out.” * * * * * * * * * * * * Vigil of August 15, 1972, Eve of Saint Joachim Veronica: "Oh, now Jesus is standing over - He has raised His hand. Now as He raised His hand like this, I could see the deep wound in His hand.

  • Modern Alternative Popes*
    Modern Alternative Popes* Magnus Lundberg Uppsala University The Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) is arguably the most important event in modern Catholicism, and a major act on the twentieth-century religious scene at large. On several points, the conciliar fathers made changes in how the Catholic Church perceived the modern world. The language in the decrees was different from earlier councils’, and the bishops opened up for ecumenism and interreligious dialogue, seeing at least “seeds of truth” in other religious traditions. The conciliar fathers also voted in favour of liberty of religion, as meaning something more than the right to practise Catholic faith. A very concrete effect of the Council was the introduction of the New Mass Order (Novus Ordo Missae) in 1969 that replaced the traditional Roman rite, decreed by Pius V in 1570. Apart from changes in content, under normal circumstances, the new mass should be read in the vernacular, not in Latin as before. Though many Catholics welcomed the reforms of Vatican II, many did not. In the period just after the end of the Council, large numbers of priests and nuns were laicized, few new priest candidates entered the seminaries, and many laypeople did not recognize the church and the liturgy, which they had grown up with. In the post- conciliar era, there developed several traditionalist groups that criticized the reforms and in particular the introduction of the Novus Ordo. Their criticism could be more or less radical, and more or less activist. Many stayed in their parishes and attended mass there, but remained faithful to traditional forms of devotions and paid much attention to modern Marian apparitions.

In 1569 he was sent to finish it at the University of Leuven in Flanders. There he was ordained, and ob- tained a reputation both as a professor and a preacher. He was the first Jesuit to teach at the university, where the subject of his course was the Summa Theologica of Thomas Aquinas. His residence in Leuven lasted seven years. In poor health, in 1576 he made a journey to Italy. Here he remained, commissioned by Pope Gregory XIII to lecture on polemical theology in the new Roman Col- lege, now known as the Pontifical Gregorian University.
