The Catholic Resistance must keep Fighting and Praying for the Restoration of the Church

There is no doubt that Pope Francis and his inner circle are behind the greatest crisis in the history of the Church.

We at the Catholic Monitor and the Band of Bloggers have documented this catastrophe.

The Catholic Resistance is fighting for the restoration of the Church by exposing the falsehoods and evil that have entered the Church.

We must keep doing this, but we will fail if we don't pray at Mass and outside Mass for the restoration.

Jesus Christ will restore the Church unless we, at the moment, are approaching the Last Judgment.

God, as with our eternal salvation, wants us to cooperate with His grace for the restoration with our works and prayers.

Outside Mass, our greatest weapon to bring about the restoration is the Rosary.

When you pray at Mass or pray the Rosary or any other prayer, keep in mind what St. Francis De Sales said are the necessary conditions to get your prayers answered:

"The first is that one be little by humility;

the second, that one be great in hope;

and the third, that one be grafted onto Jesus Christ crucified."

St. Francis De Sales said if we want our prayers "to reach Heaven," the first condition is that we be aware that we are beggars who are aware of "our nothingness."

Next, we place our hope "upon charity [God's love], otherwise it would no longer be hope, but rather presumption."

Finally, like St. Catherine of Siena who "while meditating on the Passion and Death of Our Lord... was in a bath of His Precious Blood... We, too, must never go to prayer without being similarly bathed... in the Blood of our Master, whose merits render them agreeable to the Divine Majesty."

Pray an Our Father now for the restoration of the Church.

Rex, I’m going to ask the Religion Moderator to remove your comment. You do not profess the Catholic Faith and you are violating the Catholic Caucus by posting here.

This is a catholic caucus; please do not mention non-Catholics.

“So, I’m really supposed to believe that a guy riding around on a camel 2,000 years ago was the son of God?!”

Well, I do not know “this guy riding round on a camel 2,000 years ago.” However, I do know the man who walked throughout the Holy Land and rode a colt donkey down the hill into Jerusalem 2,000 year ago. His name was Jesus the Christ, son of the living God, who taught us the way, the truth and the life.

Faith is a gift from God via the Holy Spirit. Some of us have received that gift, and some have not. My recommendation to you is study and prayer so that you too may receive the gift of Faith.

He said He would never leave His Church - even with the gates of hell monkeying around with it.

A few of them were responsible for initiating new religions and are associated with those religions more so than the Catholic religion.

Please honor the caucus and don’t break it.

**Pray an Our Father now for the restoration of the Church.**

And keep praying day after day. Offer your Mass and Communion for the Church. Dedicate your Rosary to saving the Church, etc. Novenas and Litanies — use them!

Sorry, but a lot of us older pew sitting Catholics are tired of supporting the church and financing the ultra liberal Cardinals and Bishops. The collections from the Parishes in my Diocese are down 50% {FIFTY} during the past 10 years. We are tired of paying for way the for Dolan, Cupich, McCarrick, etc. while Parishes can barely keep the doors open.

As always, the best way to clean the Church of heresy is to pray for truth. It will set you free from the one who occupies the chair at the moment. Light always destroys darkness.

That "inner circle" is quite large.

And it has existed and grown ever since Pope St. Pius X died.

Umm—St. Pius X (and Pius IX and Gregory XVI) weren’t reacting against nothing.

But was it an inner circle during those times?

I don't believe so.

Whatever circle is inner now has a long history. Benedict XV and Pius XI were very good—I don’t think things went from being great under Pius X to being thoroughly trashed under Benedict XV.

My argument is that a once outer circle has become the most innermost circle with the current pope in the middle of it.
