Dear Brothers, Presidents of the Conferences of Bishops,

We turn to you with deep distress!

The Catholic world is adrift, and, with anguish, the question is asked: Where is the Church going?

Before the drift in process, it seems that the difficulty is reduced to that of the abuse of minors, a horrible crime, especially when it is perpetrated by a priest, which is, however, only part of a much greater crisis. The plague of the homosexual agenda has been spread within the Church, promoted by organized networks and protected by a climate of complicity and a conspiracy of silence. The roots of this phenomenon are clearly found in that atmosphere of materialism, of relativism and of hedonism, in which the existence of an absolute moral law, that is without exceptions, is openly called into question.

Sexual abuse is blamed on clericalism. But the first and primary fault of the clergy does not rest in the abuse of power but in having gone away from the truth of the Gospel. The even public denial, by words and by acts, of the divine and natural law, is at the root of the evil that corrupts certain circles in the Church.

In the face of this situation, Cardinals and Bishops are silent. Will you also be silent on the occasion of the meeting called in the Vatican for this coming February 21st?

We are among those who in 2016 presented to the Holy Father certain questions, dubia, which were dividing the Church in the wake of the conclusions of the Synod on the Family. Today, those dubia have not only not had any response but are part of a more general crisis of the Faith. Therefore, we encourage you to raise your voice to safeguard and proclaim the integrity of the doctrine of the Church.

We pray to the Holy Spirit, that He may assist the Church and bring light to the Pastors who guide her. A decisive act now is urgent and necessary. We trust in the Lord Who has promised: “Behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world” (Mt 28,20).

In the minds of the others sodomy is not only a sin crying to Heaven for vengeance, it is a gift to the Church. We know this from recent synods. Of course, there are some remaining who would like to support the two Cardinals, but are to worried about their position. These are old men, about to reach the finish line, and still they are worried about losing the approval of evil men. How then can we believe that they believe in eternal life and eternal condemnation?

The time for talking is over. It is now over three years since the Dubia was first submitted & the prospect of a formal correction made. Since then two Cardinals have died. The silent Cardinals are now seen as complicit & subservient to Satan, not Christ. With The Holy Ghost & Our Lady on our side why don't the remaining Dubia Cardinals just go for the jugular & have done with it - denounce these self-serving effeminate cowards & let God Himself deal with the aftermath. We have His assurance He will be with His Church until the end of time & Our Lady's statement that Russia will be consecrated to Her Immaculate Heart. Why keep the faithful dangling on a string any longer? Collectively the prelature has betrayed Christ, the Catholics of China, countless priests & laity who dared object to AL, unborn babies, Asia Bibi, Mary Wagner & the priests & lay people who supported their efforts to save abortions being carried out in PP clinics. What will it take to rid ourselves of this predetermined takeover of the OHC&A Church? There is already a huge schism taking place which will end catastrophically for the entire Church if allowed to continue. Be brave, be honest, be spiritually aroused to call out these malefactors for what they are - the curse of Satan whose power is already waning. He was given one hundred years & he still is unable to win this spiritual battle, but the laity is sore, weary & thoroughly disgusted with the sodomite riff-raff we have endured for six decades, foisted upon us without interruption. Give us a break - Denounce PF this week-end!

Dorota, cynical me figures the rest stay silent because they are active participants at the sodo-parties....

Peter Lamb said...

Dear Dorota, Surely you know that there is no hell; that unrepentant souls merely get annihilated and are not immortal; that eternal punishment in hell is against the nature of the Gospel? The Pope himself has told us this! You betta get with the times before it's too late! Eat! Drink! Be merry! For tomorrow we die! And then - poof! We gone!

PS and stop looking at those bad videos. There is no good there. :(

@ Peter Lamb

Even after I left the Church, everything crumbled and life had no meaning without the hope for eternal life. Nothing seemed worth doing, and all distinctions between good and evil, true and false disappeared. Therefore - as I often told my daughter - I lived as though God was.

But when one insists that God is not, he wants to live in the moment and - if one is naturally inclined toward kindness, for there are psychopaths also - to be good to people. After all, life is short, and only happiness and pleasure matter.

Such people react with indifference to what seemed erroneous and/or immoral, because a stubborn insistence on the existence of an objective reality is senseless and - what is worse - creates unpleasantness.

What difference does it make anyway? Why can't we just get along?!!! - Behead them fundamentalists! Peace, love and unity.

Once, when my child was still little, the gifted students were tasked with creating a blueprint for a perfect society. Everyone based their system on the assumption that people want to get along. Obstacles (poverty, one evil individual, unequal wealth distribution) were removed and... heaven on earth ensued.

I got involved in my daughter's project by telling her that this assumption of natural unity is false. I explained that this has been tried before. Needless to say, her group created a very interesting and intelligent plan, where the system aligned itself with nature of man. It was also brilliantly delivered.

This student group got the poorest grade of all, because - as the teacher explained - the point of the project was to dream boldly of a better world. One without objective reality. Social, environmental justice, diversity, equity and inclusion.

Things have been deteriorating for a long time, and the brainwashing is complete in all Western societies.

You get a poor grade, Peter. As a matter of fact, all faithful Catholics get a failing grade. Shallow and sentimental fools (as well as psychopaths) are too incompetent to imagine that the God-given order we talk about might be their salvation too, even here and now. They have lost the capacity to think. Sodomy will do it to you. It is an intrinsic disorder, contagious and deadly.

Not just two. But two of the guys known to not follow up on a previous course of action.

There is nothing for Francis to fear from these two. He is counting on the mainstream media to 'do their jobs.'

Those who endlessly try to wreck the church are in league with the devil. Those who criticize those who try to wreck the church go against the devil and fight the devil and his minions, including the devil’s minions dictating evil nonsense from the Vatican, especially the antipope. The Truth will set you free. Get your head out of the sand!

As I learned while growing up, THE TRUTH HURTS.

Hmm . . . we wrote the dubia, got no answer for three years, what should we do?!?! I got it, let's write a strongly worded letter!

Nothing will change until faithful deny that Bergoglio is pope. Nothing can chage as long as he and other modernists are believed to be valid popes. All the petitions, dubias, and other claims of resisting the man to his face are absolutely meaningless if you call that heretic a pope.
