Many may be, but not all. Rome is still the See of Peter. Those who still fight for Our Lord there certainly will be heartened to know that LIGHT is being shed on this Dark and Satanic event. LIGHT is the enemy of the DARK and always prevails.
Oh, jeez! I'm starting to get that sickly sinking feeling.
I have no interest in this controversy. You guys can handle it.
This makes me too sad to say anything right now.
All so true, my friend, but these are especially dark times, despite the lavender-liberal-modernist-heterodox claims of this being some glory age of the Church.
Things that make you go, "Hmmm..."
Quotes from this thread:
This should put an end to the debate over whether this event actually occurred.
..., the pictures above represent an abomination and desecration and there can be no explanation
that will change that.
This just makes me sick. I don't know what else to say.
You know, I thought I could not be shocked. But I am. Those who permit these desecrations do not have the Catholic faith--and that includes many in the Holy See itself--and perhaps even the Pope.
At times, one honestly can't fault those who believe the see is vacant or that there is some concerted effort to create some kind of man-made world religion from hell.
I don't fault the sedevacantists. It's very difficult to resist their logic.
I think I'm going to hurl.
I am speechless. The people from de Nile almost had me convinced, but here is the smoking gun
Horrendous.
Oh man, this is enough to make me cry....
What a shame. Will no one in charge put a stop to such indifferent-ism?
Well, why let truth interfere with one's prejudices? Though this certainly is a major score in the credibility stakes for the "Grunerites" and the SSPX who protested at the original conference.
It seems to me personally that the shrine authorities went too far in this case.
This latest ecumeniac fiasco is only adding fuel to the runaway fires which are burning throughout the Church today.
Forget Canon Law - read your Bible!!!
Read what God thinks of golden calves, high places and baal worship - try Exodus, 1&2 Kings and
all the Prophets.
Just incredible. It's one thing to welcome and allow the Hindu delegation to honor Mary, it's
another to allow them to perform a Christ-less ritual on miraculous ground.
Every age looks dark to some. I am actually quite certain The Holy Ghost is using things like this to clean up His Church.
Deacon Sinkspur says:
I have no interest in this controversy. You guys can handle it.
I am curious though Deacon, why you call it a "controversy" rather than a DESECRATION. Can you explain your choice of words?
WOW. I faith, you are a paragon. Would that I could borrow some.
("the frenzy of the Mohammedans has devastated the churches of God" Pope Urban II)
Today it is the frenzy of the "One World Church" crowd.
"You shall have no other gods before Me."
The UN crowd would have us believe that ALL Gods are the same God. Sadly it appears that there are clerics and hierarch even in the Universal Church who havce fell for that heresy.
"Some may complain about the source,..."
Not this time. That crowd will IGNORE this thread. Period. The TRUTH is more than they are willing to accept.
The Faith, our Faith is Eternal. We "see through a glass darkly", but the Glory of the Lord is real, it is Present on the Altar and He will not be mocked.
The TRUTH is exactly what they oppose. They intend to sink it beneath their lavender-liberal-modernist agenda.
The Rector, Fr. Luciano Guerra appears to be, at best, a liar.
Until he does, it's a controversy.
"Did the bishop of Fatima say it was a desecration?"
No, His Excellency is quoted above as approving of the DESECRATION. That doesn't change the reality of what happened, did it? Res Ipsa Loquitur Deacon, the Thing Speaks for Itself. The Altar was DESECRATED. The BISHOP knowingly allowed the act. Why would his opinion be of any moment?
Do not mistake a dodge for an argument, my friend.
