Jesus’ teaching on the indissolubility of sacramental marriage is clear, the retired German cardinal said, and it would harm individuals and the Church to pretend otherwise. However, “after the shipwreck of sin, the shipwrecked person should not have a second boat at his or her disposal, but rather a life raft” in the form of the sacrament of Communion, he said.

  • The Broken Cross
    THE BROKEN CROSS BY PIERS COMPTON (1984) This book was written in the early 1980's by a Catholic layman alarmed at the direction of the post Vatican II church. The author makes well supported charges the uppermost offices of the Church have been infiltrated by Luciferian Secret Societies, and that the problem is not confined to liberal prelates. He provides evidence that John XXIII and Paul VI were likely members of secret cults, and that John Paul I was murdered. Such is likely to be disturbing to Catholics who put their trust in the Roman Curia.

    The Holy See LITURGY OF THE WORD FOR THE CONCLUSION OF THE MONTH OF MARY MESSAGE OF JOHN PAUL II READ BY H.E. MSGR. FRANCESCO MARCHISANO Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes in the Vatican Gardens Saturday, 31 May 2003 Dear Brothers and Sisters, 1. As every year, you have recited the Holy Rosary, contemplating in particular the mystery of Mary's Visitation to St Elizabeth which the Liturgy celebrates for us today. In this way you have wished to conclude the month of May at the Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes in the Vatican Gardens. I join you in spirit and greet you with affection. I greet Archbishop Francesco Marchisano, my Vicar General for Vatican City, the Cardinals and the other Prelates present, the priests, the men and women Religious, the young people and all the faithful. I pray with each one of you in front of the Grotto as it were to offer to the Immaculate Virgin the gift of the whole spiritual journey completed in this Marian month: every resolution, every concern, every need of the Church and of the world. May the Blessed Virgin hear your every prayer. 2. On this occasion I would like to renew to everyone the invitation to recite the Rosary diligently, paying great attention to the tone. I am thinking of priests first of all: that their example and their guidance lead the faithful to rediscover the meaning and value of this prayer. I am thinking of consecrated persons, especially women Religious, of whom I imagine there are many among you: may they closely follow Mary who cherished the mysteries of her divine Son in her heart.

    The Holy See MESSAGE OF JOHN PAUL II FOR THE 150th ANNIVERSARY OF THE PONTIFICAL COMMISSION FOR SACRED ARCHAEOLOGY To my Venerable Brother Archbishop Francesco Marchisano President of the Pontifical Commission for Sacred Archaeology 1. One hundred and fifty years have passed since my Predecessor, Bl. Pius IX, authorized the first plan of operation worked out by the Pontifical Commission for Sacred Archaeology that had been established a short time before to enlarge the collection of Christian antiquities, to gather them in suitable premises and to create a museum for them, subsequently called the (Pope) Pius Christian Museum (Museo Cristiano-Pio). Bl. Pius IX entrusted to this commission the task to work with prudent discernment to ensure "that all the items which could ... edify the devout by reminding them of the simplicity of the catacombs and that are not in danger of being lost, as far as possible stay in place in the catacombs" (in Archivio della Società Romana di Storia Patria, 91 [1968], 259). When he published the venerated Pontiff's mandate on 6 January 1852, Cardinal Giacomo Antonelli, then Secretary of State, announced the definite membership of the commission that included such distinguished and farsighted scholars as Fr Giuseppe Marchi S.J. and Giovanni Battista De Rossi. On this happy anniversary, I asked Cardinal Angelo Sodano, my Secretary of State, to greet warmly and encourage strongly the distinguished members of today's Pontifical Commission of Sacred Archaeology to continue conserving, studying and making known the precious heritage of the venerable memories of the Church, and particularly of the catacombs of Rome and Italy.
