In this video, I believe there's very strong research and evidence by Catholic attorneys that the Third Secret of Fatima was apostasy from the top—down.  That means especially the hierarchy.  And we clergy are supposed to constitute the most prominent aspect of the visibility of the Catholic Church according to many Catholic theologians.  Although Christ's love and grace is obviously not missing from the earth in our current Church crisis, this night of heresy and apostasy impeding the visibility of the Church is probably tantamount to "the eclipse" predicted at La Salette.  And what is the brightest guide at night?  The Moon, who the Fathers say is analogous to the [...]

Here's a text I got from a friend yesterday: "Okay, also, how is the Holy Spirit the uncreated Immaculate Conception, as Maximilian Kolbe says? Any good ideas on explaining it?"   My reply: "Yes it's because the Holy Spirit proceeds in eternity (not time) from the Father and the Son that one can even use the term 'ETERNAL Immaculate Conception' but one has to be very careful to extricate any sense of sex or time from it, since it's spiritual, there's no genders involved and the spiration of the Holy Spirit is in eternity ('Spiration' is the old school way to describe how the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father [...]

For those who heed the message of Our Lady of Fatima, the first Saturday devotion includes three things: 1) The reception of Holy Communion after Confession (within 8 days before or after) 2) Praying five decades of the Rosary. 3) Spending 15 minutes in meditation on the mysteries of the Rosary. This last one seems confusing in debates between good Catholics. Some believe this means meditating on all fifteen decades of the Rosary for a quarter hour. However, this would probably not be "meditation" according to Our Lady's definition, as you would only be spending one-minute on each mystery! The clearest answer comes from the late Father Dooley, an American [...]

The above painting is of SS. Joachim and Anne, the parents of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The 17th century Spanish Franciscan abbess, Venerable Mary of Jesus of Ágreda of Spain, received a private-revelation on the life of the Immaculate Virgin Mary that comes to a few thousand pages in a book called The Mystical City of God.  The Mystical City of God was attacked by the Jansenists as inauthentic.  Is it reliable?  Besides the fact that Sr. Mary of Ágreda has been declared "Venerable" by the Catholic Church, her book has the approval of Popes Innocent XI, Alexander VIII, Clement IX, Benedict XIII, Benedict XIV and Clement XIV.  By "approved" we mean [...]

Prius concíperet mente quam córpore.—Pope St. Leo, First Sermon on the Nativity of the Lord (found in Matins of the old Divine Office on the Maternity of the Blessed Virgin Mary on 10 October) on how the Immaculate Virgin Mary first conceived in her mind, even before her body. The Mystery of the Incarnation is defined as the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity (God the Son) becoming man as Jesus Christ—a zygote in the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Mary is also known as the Mother of God and the Holy Theotokos. Obviously, Mary was not the formal cause of the Incarnation, but she did more than just [...]
