Regarding the scandalous Doctrinal Note “Mater populi fidelis” The Doctrinal Note presented in the past few days at the Vatican, with only its Latin incipit, Mater Populi Fidelis, constitutes yet another scandalous affront from a treacherous and deviant Hierarchy, which for over sixty years, in an unstoppable crescendo, has used its authority to speciously impose its own doctrinal and moral deviations on Catholics, with the aim of dismantling the Catholic Church and losing souls. The haste—one might almost say the fury—to destroy is such that it also highlights the contradictions existing within the synodal body itself, afflicted by a significant pathological bipolarism: on the one hand, it declares the Marian title of Co-redemptrix attributed to the Virgin Mary to be improper, and on the other, it promotes John Henry Newman to Doctor Ecclesiæ, who had defended that title against the Anglicans after their attack on the dogma of the Immaculate Conception. The indignation and sense …More

On 31 October, Rev Michael Korell of the Archdiocese of Munich, Germany, held a "Halloween-service" in the funeral hall of the city cemetery in Freising. Dressed in a Dracula cape, he prayed beside a half-open coffin amid fog effects. Around 50 people attended. Following criticism that the service appeared 'occult', the city parish issued a brief apology, stating that the concept should have been explained more clearly and that the name 'Halloween service' may have been inappropriate.
Kaplan Michael Korell von Freising (Erzbistum München) feierte am 31. Oktober im Dracula-Cape einen „Halloween-Gottesdienst“ in der Aussegnungshalle des Stadtfriedhofs. Er betete am halboffenen Sarg mit viel Kunstnebel. 50 Schaulustige kamen. Nach Kritik an der „okkulten“ Veranstaltung veröffentlichte die Stadtkirche eine halbherzige Entschuldigung. Man hätte das Konzept besser vorstellen sollen. Der Name „Halloween-Gottesdienst sei problematisch“.
You said it, "CRAP" but as far as I know, not this way, the way it's been done today is truly 'crap', before people never did that in the least, those days were days of reflection, and prayer, and offering sacrifices and mass for the faithful departed and the ones agonizing, you never saw anyone dressed up to go to the devi'ls party, I grew up as a child with that kind of formation, respect to the dead, the church's teachings and what to do and what not to do, today all is valid, all is permissible, you want to go to mass dress as a gigolo or as a prostitute you can no problem we are all children of God, you want to show how gay, transgender you are, etc, no problem you are loved a child of God, do not be judgemental. What? I did not grow up like that and children today are being taught that's ok, and it's normal, NO IT'S NOT, ENOUGH IF ENOUGH AS A CHILD THEY TAUGHT US ABOUT THE DANGERS OF LOSING OUR SALVATION, TODAY NO WORRIES GOD IS SO MERCIFUL YOU WILL MAKE IT TO A GOOD PURGATORY, …More

The Life and Passion of Jesus Christ (1903) "The Life and Passion of Jesus Christ" - (Original title Fr. "La vie et la passion de Jesus Christ" ), directed by Lucien Nonguet et Ferdinand Zecca, produced by Pathe Freres in 1903, is a over 40 min. French religieuse silent film. As such, it is one of the earliest feature-length narrative films. The film, with B/W sequences, but many times enhanced using Pathéchrome process and sold as "de luxe" coloured copies , takes a straightforward approach to its subject matter. All scenes are introduced by an intertitle giving the traditional name of the event (the Annunciation, the Nativity, etc.) followed by the actors playing out the familiar stories from the Gospels. Other than the scene titles, there are no other inter-titles. "The Life and Passion of Jesus Christ" is a very charming production from Pathe, originally filmed in 1902 but expanded and finally released in 1904. Imagine a series of famous religious paintings coming to life, separated …More
" Consider gold : the oftener it is melted the more pure does it become ; continue to melt it and every imperfection is destroyed. This is the effect of fire on all materials. The soul, however, cannot be annihilated in God, but in herself she can, and the longer her purification lasts the more perfectly does she die to herself, until at length she remains purified in God."
[St. Catharine of Genoa – XV-XVI Century AD; Genoa, Republic of Genoa] " The great importance of Purgatory, neither mind can conceive nor tongue describe. I see only that its pains are as great as those of hell ; and yet I see that a soul, stained with the slightest fault, receiving this mercy, counts the pains as nought in comparison with this hindrance to her love. And I know that the greatest misery of the souls in Purgatory is to behold in themselves aught that displeases God, and to discover that, in spite of His goodness, they had consented to it. And this is because, being in the state of grace, they sec the reality and the importance of the impediments which hinder their approach to God. " From that furnace of divine love I sec rays of fire dart like burning lamps towards the soul ; and so violent and powerful are they that both soul and body would be utterly destroyed, if that were possible. These rays perform a double office ; they purify and they annihilate. " Consider gold …More
St Louis Marie de Montfort: God has established not just one enmity but "enmities", and not only between Mary and Satan but between her race and his race. That is, God has put enmities, antipathies and hatreds between the true children and servants of the Blessed Virgin and the children and slaves of the devil. They have no love and no sympathy for each other. The children of Belial, the slaves of Satan, the friends of the world, - for they are all one and the same - have always persecuted and will persecute more than ever in the future those who belong to the Blessed Virgin, just as Cain of old persecuted his brother Abel, and Esau his brother Jacob. These are the types of the wicked and of the just. But the humble Mary will always triumph over Satan, the proud one, and so great will be her victory that she will crush his head, the very seat of his pride. She will unmask his serpent's cunning and expose his wicked plots. She will scatter to the winds his devilish plans and to the end …More
El infame Bergoglio afirmó hipócritamente que “Cristo es el único redentor”. Llamarla Corredentora es “una expresión exagerada de amor, pero sabemos que el amor nos lleva a hacer cosas exageradas”, añadió. Si Él es el único Redentor al que Prevost y Bergoglio traicionaron, al dejarse conjurar por chamanes. El único Redentor al que ellos traicionaron participando en rituales paganos y apoyando el vicio de la sodomía.
