The true enemies of the Church are bad Catholics
It is a well-known account. Sister Marie Bernarde (Bernadette) Soubirous is in the convent of the Sisters of Charity in Nevers, it is 1870, war is raging throughout northern France as the Prussian-led German armies march towards Paris. The first printed version of the account,* published while she was still living, is the following. A visitor came to Bernadette at that time and made her the following questions:
- Did you receive, in the grotto of Lourdes, or after then, any revelations related to the future and fate of France? Did not the Blessed Virgin deliver any warning for France, any threats?
- No
- The Prussians are at our gates; does that not cause you any fear?
- No.
- There is thus nothing to fear? - I only fear bad Catholics. - You do not fear anything else? - No, nothing else. Words of great wisdom from the Saint. Our longtime guest-contributor and friend, Dr. John Lamont, has just had published in the …More

well, dr John Lamont is wrong about the jews, since they are the only people on earth having a 'great plan' t o establish a global dictatorship which they call a Universal Republic... where the Church would not exist... I think dr John Lamont needs to read St Maximiliano Kolbe's "The Poor Ones".

A Bad Catholic.
At the time of the Saint, there was but one form of Holy Mass.{The Traditional Latin Mass} I suspect that St Bernadette must have been referring to those {Bad Catholics} that deny the Truths and teachings of the Holy Catholic Faith.
Considering the last sentence
{And they are more dangerous the more powerful they are and the more empowered they feel, their fury, deception and bold …More
A Bad Catholic.
At the time of the Saint, there was but one form of Holy Mass.{The Traditional Latin Mass} I suspect that St Bernadette must have been referring to those {Bad Catholics} that deny the Truths and teachings of the Holy Catholic Faith.
Considering the last sentence
{And they are more dangerous the more powerful they are and the more empowered they feel, their fury, deception and bold vulgarity unleashed.}
She is speaking about those BAD CATHOLICS that can spread error against the doctrine they reject.{ Religious teachers, politicians, and Religious by Vow.}
In The 19th century when this Saint lived, France was not long out of the Bloody anticlerical Masonic Secular Revolution. Modernism was very much alive, and division within the clergy must have been palpable.Thanks to a few strong Popes Blessed Pius IX, and Leo XIII ,and St. Pope Pius X modernism was set back in the shadows until the latter half of the 20th century.
St. Bernadette must have seen much rebellion against traditional Catholic teachings, and defined truths. Today`s so called traditional Catholic readily and happily accepts, all the same truths this Saint would have held.
She being a Saint held them to a greater perfection.
This Church you speak of Kam: How many are just victims of circumstance?
The price of sin is Great. Verily Sin is what any Saint Hates, and Fears. If St. Bernadette feared Bad Catholics, then their sin must be Very Great.
There is a penalty for un-repented sin. The Faithful {sheep} are paying it now.
Two Theologies and Two Masses/ Two ideas of God/ and Two ideas of sin.
Still all under one roof. The Cross Kam
Not all victims of circumstance, but many most likely in these divided parishes.
Grace is not given equally to all.
The Cross is always very close to those that Love, and for those that He Loves.
Your Brother in Christ Jesus
The Nicene Creed goes here.

I agree wholeheartedly. I would have never have thought it but just seeing what happens in a parish that has both a Novus Ordo and a Latin Mass, one can see the division in said parish. Instead of somehow coming together, the two 'theology's' just grow farther apart. The Novus Ordo Mass goers can't wait for the Latin Mass priest to leave and the TLM worshipers cannot understand at all the N.O. Mass …More
I agree wholeheartedly. I would have never have thought it but just seeing what happens in a parish that has both a Novus Ordo and a Latin Mass, one can see the division in said parish. Instead of somehow coming together, the two 'theology's' just grow farther apart. The Novus Ordo Mass goers can't wait for the Latin Mass priest to leave and the TLM worshipers cannot understand at all the N.O. Mass people. It makes for a truly difficult time in a parish. We all have our own idea of who a 'bad Catholic' is. Right or wrong, we are an opinionated people, and at one time I thought we really could live together, the church goers who are TLM and the N.O. But now I'm not so sure. The bad Catholics really do bother me...
