Let GOD arise,
Let His enemies be scattered;
Let all who hate Him flee before His Holy Face.
~Psalm 67
This an old blog post, in response to
an email sent out and the person responded to all, so I felt the door had been
opened for me to comment and make corrections to errors. I hope you will be
able to understand the email and hopefully get information that will help you
combat bad Catholics. Please note this is old information, I felt needed to
be revisited.
“Grant me, O Lord my
God, a mind to know you, a heart to seek you, wisdom to find you, conduct
pleasing to you, faithful perseverance in waiting for you, and a hope of
finally embracing you."
~St. Thomas Aquinas
I
normally do not respond to all, but since the door was opened, I thought I
would comment and "Speak up."
I, for the record, agree totally with Michael Voris and the Church Militant
crew. I think what "truthful" information they bring into the light
is very important for the Church.
As for causing division, I think that scandals cause division. Division, at
times, is not a bad thing. Jesus Himself said in Matthew 10:34 "Do not
think that I came to send peace upon earth: I am not to send peace, but
the sword." and in 10:38 "And he that taketh not up his
cross, and followeth me, is not worthy of me." What
Church Militant is doing is difficult. I think it hurts them deeply that the
Church management (I call it) is the problem. It's because of disobedient
bishops and priests that are causing the problems, and those who are good and
holy bishops and priests get sent to what I call "Faithful Siberia"
or are silenced.
Venerable Fulton Sheen put it perfectly when he said:
“Who is going to save our Church? Do not look to the priests; do not look to
the bishops. It’s up to you the laity, to remind our priests
to be priests and our bishops to be bishops.”This makes it rather tough
when they will not see or listen to you; I know this from personal experience.
I am sure this is where Michael Voris had to be before he started on this
long and tedious journey in calling out names.
As
for Cardinal Dolan being a heretic, he makes it perfectly clear when he said:
“The primacy of our faith” when speaking to the Muslims at the Statan Island Mosque, please watch the
short clip on this link. When he speaks about the “primacy of our faith” he is
implying that we have the “same faith” which our faith is dogmatic faith.
Muslims have no dogmatic faith, nor do they believe in Jesus, the Holy Ghost or
the Papacy. Our faith is not the same; we believe in the Triune God and
should want them to convert and be saved. What did our Saints and Church
doctors have to say about Islam and their prophet?
As for the gays/sodomites being a very small portion of the “St. Patrick’s Day
Parade” isn’t a small portion enough to cause scandal? What did our Lord and
Pope Francis say about scandal with the little children? What do our Saints and
Church Doctors say about sodomy? For the record, I personally think we should
sue to get St. Patrick's name off of that parade, since it is no longer
Catholic. We sued to get the Holy Eucharist back, on the grounds It was the
Catholic Churches property, from the satanists in Oklahoma City. I believe the
Catholic Church also own the rights to St. Patrick's name, since he is a
Catholic Saint.
Cardinal
Dolan is not being “slandered” in these videos. To slander someone is to make a
false spoken statement that causes people to have a bad opinion
of someone, they are lies not truths. What has been said about Cardinal Dolan
in the Vortex videos
are true and are backed up with video proof.
As for the Holy Catholic Church the Mystical
Bride of Christ, She is “Perfect” in every way but the people managing it right
now need shaking up as Pope Francis said. For the record,
many of us out here are yelling from the roof tops and have been escorted to
the door of rectories. We pray daily and spend much time in Adoration and Mass
for our bishops and priests. We Catholics are in decline, in the Church.
As
for seeing evil, Pope Francis said during a recorded Mass on April 10th:
“Look out because
the devil is present! The devil is here.” And we mustn’t be naïve, right?” Those
are his words, not mine.
About
Communion in the hand and hand holding at the Our Father, I have
attached(below) information from the Minutes (not exact because of the law)
from the NCCB(now USCCB) meeting on May 3-5 1977 on how Communion
in the hand was done illegally and anything that is done out
of disobedience needs to be corrected. Hand holding is not a sin, but it is
distracting and brings the attention to ourselves which is not where our minds
and hearts should be during Mass.
God
Bless and ¡Viva Cristo † Rey!
¡Viva la Virgen de Guadalupe!

An
official of the French Army asked St. Bernadette once whether she feared an
invasion of the Prussians. She responded,
“I only fear bad Catholics.”
He responded, “Don’t you fear anything else?”—“No, nothing."
ABRIDGED MINUTES FROM THE MEETING:
The
NCCB meeting starts with the presentation of the agenda shown on page five of
the minutes. This is the third year in a row the issue of Communion in the hand
comes up at the NCCB meeting for the bishops to discuss, and vote on their
decision whether or not to petition Rome for permission to distribute Communion
in the hand.
On
page five and six, the minutes show that Bishop Romeo Blanchette from Joliet
Illinois tried to stop Communion in the hand from being on the agenda by acting
quickly at the start of the meeting with five other bishops. He wrote up a
proposed amendment and gave it to his fellow bishops.
He
was asking for a written vote by his fellow bishops if Communion in the hand
was a prevailing custom in America. This was one of the preconditions necessary
for any nation’s bishops to ask for an exception.
Bishop
Blanchette made the motion that this all be done by written ballot.
The
Chairman said that would be done as there were five bishops who had
seconded
Blanchette’s motion. You will understand why Bishop Blanchette wanted
everything in writing.
He’d
done his homework. He knew Rome required that Communion in the hand must
already be a prevailing custom as a condition before Rome would even consider
granting permission.
As
it was not a prevailing custom at that time in the U.S., and Blanchette had
covered all legal bases at the meeting, then this should have been the end of
the discussion.
But
now watch the Bernadine Machine roll over him and his motion effortlessly.
As
documented on page six of the minutes, Bishop William McManus of
Fort
Wayne - South Bend stood up and questioned whether Blanchette's motion was in order
and if it was ruled in order, how could that ruling be overruled. And who did
he ask? None other than Archbishop Joseph Bernadine who wasconveniently the
chairman.
Archbishop
Bernadine ruled the motion to be in order. But he quickly went on to explain
how the assembled bishops could overrule him and thus prevent
Blanchette’s
motion from being voted on.
In
other words he coached the supporters of Holy Communion in the hand how to use
a parliamentary procedure to vote down opposition.
They
followed his not so subtle cues and lead and with a voice vote, voted it down.
What
this did, was clear the decks to petition Rome for permission to begin
distributing
Holy Communion in the hand in the United States by use of a clever trick to
keep Rome from knowing that one of its requirements to make the request in the
first place had not been fulfilled.
This
is just one example of what people meant by the 'Bernadine Machine' and what
Argentinian Bishop Rodolofo Laise meant by 'pressure mechanisms which operate
inside the Church'.
And
you can also see why Bishop Blanchette did his homework and came prepared for
battle. He knew he was up against the whole Bernadine Machine but he still
lost.
Page
thirty-one of the minutes pertains to the next day. They show
Cardinal
John Carberry of St. Louis standing up and saying that Rome
had
ordered in 1969 that Communion on the tongue be maintained and not changed.
He
also brought up a picture in L'Osservatore Romano, the Vatican’s newspaper,
which people said was the Pope giving Communion in the hand but was really him
just giving a rosary. We note that such false media reporting still goes on
today. He went on in the minutes to say that with Communion in the hand there
was great danger of irreverence.
More
importantly, page thirty-one of the minutes goes on to show that Cardinal
Carberry is on record saying there is an extraordinary amount of mail received
by the bishops from people opposed to the introduction of Communion in the
hand.
He
said straight out there was no mandate from the laity for this practice. So...
how is it a prevailing custom?
This
is hard proof Communion in the hand was not a prevailing custom in the U.S as
required by Rome in order to obtain the necessary permission.
Finally,
on page thirty-three of the minutes it is revealed that Cardinal John Krol of Philadelphia
stood up and protested the previous day’s parliamentary maneuvering to side
step the Vatican’s rules. According to the minutes, he was deeply concerned
that a new approach was beginning whereby bishops could institutionalize abuse.
But
most importantly page thirty-three of the minutes’ reveal that then Archbishop
Bernadine admitted that he DID NOT get the two-thirds vote required by the
Vatican to petition Rome to be able to distribute Communion in the hand.
But
does that stop the Bernadine Machine? Heck No! Bernadine simply said the matter
could not be concluded until the absent bishops were polled.
WHAT??
Polling absent bishops who were not part of the discussion? Who were they? Who
would poll them? How would the questions to them be phrased? Who would count
the votes?
According
to canon law the vote must be done by a secret ballot for validity.
As
to the alleged private balloting conducted by Bernadine after the meeting of
bishops who were not at the meeting, many canon lawyers agree that this type of
activity doesn't pass muster when in regards to canon law.
So,
what did Bernadine do? As chairman, he coached allied bishops how to kill a
motion that would have prevented the vote from happening.
That
cleared the way for the vote to happen. Failing the required two-thirds
majority, that he knew he was not going to get, he pulled out his trump card
and purported to have gotten the necessary votes to reach a two-thirds
majority. In other words, he stuffed the ballot box.
And these extra votes that supposedly came in,
according to Fr. John Hardon, were gotten from retired bishops and bishops on
their death beds. And remember these bishops were not
at the meeting and were not part of the discussion. They didn’t have the
option as required by canon law to cast their votes in secret.
Bernadine
and his cronie bishops sent their trumped up request to Rome and without realizing
it was bogus, Rome granted permission. In short, Bernadine, with the help of
other liberal bishops’ steam rolled through the process and imposed Holy
Communion in the hand on the Church in the United States.
And
here is how this happened. A very narrow exception was granted by Rome if
certain conditions were met. Here is the official wording that Rome required.
QUOTE:
“Where
contrary usage, that of placing Holy Communion in the hand, ALREADY prevails...
in THESE SPECIFIC CASES, the Episcopal Conferences after a prudent study... the
decisions are to be made by a two-thirds majority and by a secret vote. They
should present them to the Holy See for the necessary confirmation, accompanied
by a careful explanation of the reasons by which they were led to making them.
The Holy See will examine each case carefully....”
Consider
these three points for 1969.
1.
Polls shows almost no one wanted communion in the hand.
2.
No one was doing it.
3.
The Vatican had just issued a document that year saying don’t do it.
So
if that was the case in 1969, how was it that within a few years, the practice
had become so wide spread in the United States?
