CATHOLIC BELLATOR

OUR LADY WAS RIGHT! “The work of the devil will infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, bishops against bishops. The Church will be full of those who accept compromises...”    -Our Lady of Akita, October 13, 1973 I have have posted this warning and talked about this to people in the past.  She was talking about our time now and it is being fulfilled. Should we continue to ignore her warnings as well as other warnings from different apparitions?  Time is running out!  "As I told you, if men do not repent and better themselves, the Father will inflict a terrible punishment on all humanity. It will be a punishment greater than the deluge, such as one will never have seen before. Fire will fall from the sky and will wipe out a great part of humanity, the good as well as the bad, sparing neither priests nor faithful. The survivors will find themselves so desolate that they will envy the d...

THE EIGHT WOES! Today's reading is so fitting for our corrupt abusive clergies! The  'Eight woes' !  The Lord again is speaking to our Church Leaders.  May God have mercy on them.  St Monica, pray for us and for them! Matthew 23:13-30 "But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you shut off the kingdom of heaven from people; for you do not enter in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in.  Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense you make long prayers; therefore you will receive greater condemnation.] “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you travel around on sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves. “Woe to you, blind guides, who say, Whoever swears by the temple,  that  is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold o...

Pope Francis covered up McCarrick abuse, testifies former US nuncio (OFFICIAL TEXT) Diane Montagna Sat Aug 25, 2018 - 7:01 pm ROME, August 25, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) — What you are about to read in the explosive testimony of the former apostolic nuncio to the United States, implicating Pope Francis and several senior prelates in covering up Archbishop Theodore McCarrick’s alleged sexual abuse of seminarians and priests. In an extraordinary 11-page written statement (see official English translation below), Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, 77, claims that Pope Francis knew about strict canonical sanctions imposed on McCarrick by Pope Benedict XVI but chose to repeal them. In his written testimony, Archbishop Viganò, who served as apostolic nuncio in Washington D.C. from 2011-2016, states that in the late 2000s, Benedict had “imposed on Cardinal McCarrick sanctions similar to those now imposed on him by Pope Francis,” and that Vigano personally spoke with Francis about the...

Why preaching the Good News necessarily includes telling the   ‘ bad news ’ August 23, 2018 ( LifeSiteNews ) – I have discovered over the years a certain reaction to Christian journalism that covers unsettling, painful, and sometimes downright terrible news. This reaction could be summed up as: “Hear no evil, see no evil, say no evil.” According to some people, we should not be “focusing on” or “obsessing about” the bad news, but only looking out for the good news! There is a grain of truth to this observation when it comes to the secular media, who seem hellbent (if I may so say) on covering every last murder, rape, and theft, and give a lot less space to stories of good people doing good things. And it would never be appropriate for monks and nuns to use up their time in the monastery reading the latest newspapers and magazines, for they have a higher calling than the battle on the streets. But if it is taken to mean that  laity, men and women living in the world ...

The Jesus Prayer burns the demons Domine Jesu Christe, miserere mei!

Thus says the Lord GOD:  Look! I am coming against these shepherds (Wednesday's First Reading;  Aug. 22, 2018) Memorial of the Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary This was the first reading from yesterday.   Sounds familiar? The word of the Lord came to me: Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel. Prophesy and say to them: To the shepherds, thus says the Lord God: Woe to the shepherds of Israel who have been  pasturing themselves ! Should not shepherds pasture the flock? You consumed milk, wore wool, and slaughtered fatlings,  but the flock you did not pasture . You did not strengthen the weak nor heal the sick nor bind up the injured. You did not bring back the stray or seek the lost but ruled them harshly and brutally. So they were scattered for lack of a shepherd, and became food for all the wild beasts. They were scattered and wandered over all the mountains and high hills; over the entire surface of the earth my sheep ...

Cardinal Raymond Burke on the Abuse Crisis with Raymond “Let’s be honest: we’re dealing here with the gravest of sins and ecclesiastical crimes.." "...We have to focus our attention on that and on doing what is just with regard to all parties involved and for [a] bishop [like McCarrick] who has failed grievously in this area, the Church’s penal remedies…are for his good also.... For the bishop to prey upon the flock in…committing mortal sins – this is simply unacceptable.” “Our Lady warned us at Fatima about an apostasy from the faith.  I believe there’s been a practical apostasy from the faith with regard to all the questions involving human sexuality and principally, it starts with the idea that there can be legitimate sexual activity outside of marriage, which of course is false, completely false.” "Only those who live by faith really know what is happening in the world."  - Ven. Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen +++++++++++++++++++++++++++...

NOVENA FOR OUR NATION – ST. MICHAEL’S LENT PRAYERS FOR PROTECTION AND REPARATION Just found out about  St .  Michael's Lent , a 40 day period of fasting from the Feast of the Assumption (August 15) to Michaelmas (September 29). I wish I had known this ahead of time to prepare, but it's not too late to start. This is what Brother Thomas was talking about from one of our previous meetings during lent. You don't have to do this but I highly recommend participating on  St Michael's Lent  - seeing what's going on within the church getting infiltrated by evil.  Might be a good time to ask St. Michael to destroy the demons in the Church. St Michael pray for us! St Michael, defend us in battle! Protect our families and our Church!

Vatican adviser: Pope ‘breaks Catholic traditions whenever he wants’ A frightening and disturbing statement by a homosexualist priest Fr. Thomas Rosica "Pope Francis  breaks Catholic traditions  whenever he wants because he is “free from disordered attachments.” Our Church has indeed  entered a new phase : with the advent of this first Jesuit pope, it is openly  ruled by an  individual  rather than by the authority of Scripture alone or even its own dictates of tradition plus Scripture."  -Fr. Thomas Rosica I smell heresy.  This is totally contradicting the  Catholic Teaching . "It is clear therefore that, in the supremely wise arrangement of God,  sacred Tradition ,  Sacred Scripture  and the  Magisterium  of the Church are so  connected  and associated that  one of them cannot stand without the others . Working together, each in its own way, under the action of the one Holy Spirit,...

The Sorrowful Mysteries: A Prayerful Response to Clergy Scandals By  KATHLEEN BECKMAN Every Holy Thursday, Pope John Paul II would address all priests of the universal Church by letter. In his message dated 17 March 2002, the Saintly Pontiff wrote the following: At this time, as priests, we are personally and profoundly afflicted by the sins of some o our brothers who have betrayed the grace of Ordination in succumbing even to the most grievous forms of the  mysterium iniquitatis  at work in the world. Grave scandal is caused, with the result that a dark shadow of suspicion is cast over all the other fine priests who perform their ministry with honesty and integrity and often with heroic self-sacrifice. As the Church shows her concern for the victims and strives to respond in truth and justice to each of these painful situations, all of us — conscious of human weakness, but trusting in the healing power of divine grace — are called to embrace the ...

Dear Troubled Catholics: A Letter From Ralph Martin About the Current Crisis by  Ralph Martin |  July 31, 2018 Dear Troubled Catholics, I have never seen so many “ordinary Catholics”—who usually never follow or hear about Church news—as deeply troubled as I have seen them in response to the recent revelations about the retired archbishop of Washington, DC. Cardinal Theodore McCarrick was asked by the pope to resign from his membership in the College of Cardinals and ordered to live in seclusion until a canonical trial can be held to verify the validity of charges of sexual abuse and harassment made against him.  After the first brave person came forward (whose accusations were found credible by the Archdiocese of New York Review Board), more and more followed. The climate of fear among many of our clergy—the fear of being punished or marginalized if they report sexual immorality among their fellow clergy or leaders—is starting to break. Cardinal ...
