True Guadalupe & Haunted House Lightshow
Haunted House Lightshow
I am sorry if I appear primitive, but for my taste this lightshow prepared for Pope Leo XIV on the Sagrada Familia Basilica in Barcelona looks like a haunted house show.
I agree with your previous comments on the Gaudi's “art” in that religious building. It looks to me like a building made of ice-cream melting under the sun. Yes, with occult touch and purpose…
In Jesus & Mary,
P.M.

Consistory & Synodality
Here is the point of the Consistory Leo XIV just held – a call for cardinals to embrace synodality “as a way of life, not a method.”
It is to dismantle what is left of Hierarchy in the Papacy and Church.
All the other things he did there were secondary – showing concern about wars, poverty, injustice, violence, the struggles of young people seeking meaning, concern for Venezuela’s earthquake.
I am surprised that he didn’t show “concern” for Venezuela’s communist president Maduro's kidnapping…
Very sad how many Catholics he fools.

Novus Ordo Parish Bulletin
Herewith a no doubt typical ‘boiler-plate’ extract from the current weekly bulletin of a ‘reverent’ Novus Ordo parish in the UK.
It all sounds worthy superficially. What is absent is any explicit reference to bearing witness, specifically to our Catholic Faith, which is subtly substituted with the slippery concepts of promotion of the Gospel and the spirit of the Gospel.
It then poses the rhetorical questions ‘Have I grappled with the thorny moral issues of the day…”.or do I merely go with the flow to avoid being singled out or am I prepared to take a stand at the risk of unpopularity?”
Given that the clergy in this parish have never taken a single counter-cultural stance on any issue for decades and are comfortable with altar girls and every Novus Ordo novelty that comes along, it strikes me that their challenge to the congregation lacks any leadership from the front whatsoever.
Hades will freeze over before they genuinely preach any hard doctrines such as Extra Ecclesia Nulla Salus or the immutable availability of the death penalty as a civil sanction and they remain utterly silent on Prevost’s manifest endorsement of homosexual relationship blessings and Communion for adulterers.
Is it any wonder that their reverence and apostolate amount to little more than “sentimental religiosity”?
“So we ask ourselves: when was the last time I bore witness to Jesus and to the truth of our faith? Do I use my words and actions to promote the Gospel? Have I grappled with the thorny moral issues of the day, do I try to understand these and indeed the Church’s position and her social teaching, which is imbued by the spirit of the Gospel? And when these are challenged or even ridiculed, do I merely go with the flow, to avoid being singled out, or I am prepared to take a stand at the risk of unpopularity?
“The prophetic vocation which is ours from baptism is not easy, and at times can be very challenging to live out. Fear not! Christ tells us. Like Jeremiah, we commit our cause to the Lord, and we seek the help of the Holy Spirit to strengthen us, but also to enlighten our minds, as we seek to learn more about our faith to live it with greater conviction and coherence.”
Yours, craving true affirmation and,
in Jesus, Mary and Joseph.

Perforation not Craniotomy
I came across this objection to a book review and as a mother of 14 living children who has suffered a few labor and deliveries, I would like to offer a correction. The author of the objection admits that she is going from memory about the chapter "When Old Barns Burn" and I have the book and have read it.
So, I reread that chapter and the term is "perforation" not craniotomy. A perforation is the medical term for uterine rupture, which is life threatening for the mother and usually ends the child's life unless a swift cesarean can be performed. Under the circumstances- the late stage of the labor and the lack of sterile hygiene in the home, a cesarean was out of the question.
The mother and child were dying, or maybe even already dead, anyway and the midwife baptized the child. She did not in any way hasten the death of the child or assist in an abortion. It would be good to clear her reputation and also confirm her consistency in defending life and family, even in the face of heartbreaking situations.
I hope the record can be set straight so more people will read the book, shocking and upsetting as some parts can be, and learn and be edified by her unique perspective on family, childbearing and child rearing over the decades of radical change away from the natural law and God's law.
Thank you very much for your time and consideration!
Sincerely,
JM

The videos on this page, in particular The Introduction to Our Lady of Guadalupe, cover in detail this remarkable subject.
I found these a few years ago and have yet to find anything to match them in quality. These are definitely worth time that will have to be invested to watch them all.
