About 40 bishops and ordinaries of sui iuris Eastern Catholic Churches gathered at the Vatican from September 12-14, 2019. Received in audience by the Supreme Pontiff, approved a project to construct the first official sanctuary dedicated to Our Lady of Fatima in St. Petersburg, in the heart of Russia.
The first sanctuary officially dedicated by the Catholic Church to the Virgin of Fatima will soon see the light of day in Russia, more than a century after the apparitions of Our Lady in Portugal. The information has been confirmed from Siberia by the Apostolic Administrator of Novosibirsk, Bishop Joseph Werth.
Surprising as it may seem from a Catholic view, “the Orthodox confessions are not opposed to this project. Many Russians have a great devotion to Our Lady of Fatima, who interceded for the conversion of Russia during the Communist persecution,” as Fr. Alejandro Burgos, a Spanish priest exercising his apostolate in St. Petersburg.
To promote the devotion to Our Lady of Fatima to the Easterners, Fr. Burgos had an icon depicting the Virgin made with the quotation: “It is in you that unity is realized.” May the Virgin of Fatima indeed hasten the return of the Eastern Orthodox to Catholic unity, in the same faith and the one Church founded on Peter.
The future sanctuary which will house the icon will be dedicated to the Byzantine Rite.

I'm glad that Rome does NOT teach....
"Call no man father..."
If it's just a private arrangement, why is it included in what John says he wrote "that you may have life in [Jesus] name".
Your statement makes zero sense in light of the passage in question.
Context is your friend in understanding the Scriptures.
25Therefore the soldiers did these things. But standing by the cross of Jesus were His mother, and His mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26When Jesus then saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing nearby, He said to His mother, “Woman, behold, your son!” 27Then He said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” From that hour the disciple took her into his own household. John 19:25-27 NASB
"Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for instruction in righteousness" except this one, which inexplicably relates a private arrangement? And WE'RE being accused of eisegesis? LOL …
Context continues to be your friend in understanding the Scriptures.
30Therefore many other signs Jesus also performed in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; 31but these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name. John 20:30-31 NASB
And yes, the Roman Catholic is practicing eisegesis in their understanding of John 19:25-27.
If it's just a private arrangement, why is it included in what John says he wrote "that you may have life in [Jesus] name".
So the soldiers took charge of Jesus. 17 Carrying his own cross, he went out to the place of the Skull (which in Aramaic is called Golgotha). 18 There they crucified him, and with him two others—one on each side and Jesus in the middle.
19 Pilate had a notice prepared and fastened to the cross. It read: jesus of nazareth, the king of the jews. 20 Many of the Jews read this sign, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and the sign was written in Aramaic, Latin and Greek. 21 The chief priests of the Jews protested to Pilate, “Do not write ‘The King of the Jews,’ but that this man claimed to be king of the Jews.”
22 Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”
23 When the soldiers crucified Jesus, they took his clothes, dividing them into four shares, one for each of them, with the undergarment remaining. This garment was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom.
24 “Let’s not tear it,” they said to one another. “Let’s decide by lot who will get it.”
This happened that the scripture might be fulfilled that said,
“They divided my clothes among them
and cast lots for my garment.”[a]
So this is what the soldiers did.
25 Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her, “Woman,[b] here is your son,” 27 and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” From that time on, this disciple took her into his home.
28 Later, knowing that everything had now been finished, and so that Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, “I am thirsty.” 29 A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus’ lips. 30 When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
Hence my comments regarding context.
And Christ is the enemy of the serpent NOT Mary. In Genesis 3:15 it clearly says He when talking about the One who would crush the serpent.
Not every LCMS pastor is correct all the time. Context is also your friend and i see an isolated quote here and have no idea the context in which it was said. But if you want to play the whatever one of your clergy says must be what the entire denomination believes then how much more do you own everything that Frankie says as he is your leader? I’d rather have a pastor that I disagree on this point with than ones who molest little boys and are covered for by Church hierarchy....
And that is where Roman Catholicism starts the error by using a poor translation. The DR renders the passage as "she shall crush thy head".
15I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel. Gen 3:15 DRB
****
The Catholic Encyclopedia notes this regarding this passage.
The sentence against the first parents was accompanied by the Earliest Gospel (Proto-evangelium), which put enmity between the serpent and the woman: "and I will put enmity between thee and the woman and her seed; she (he) shall crush thy head and thou shalt lie in wait for her (his) heel" (Genesis 3:15). The translation "she" of the Vulgate is interpretative; it originated after the fourth century, and cannot be defended critically. http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07674d.htm
*****
If the translation cannot be defended then any theology built upon the passage is built on sinking sand.
You just reminded me of how beautiful the Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary is. I just recited it, fervently. Thanks for the reminder!
Thanks again. That makes twice that I recited it today.
You know, sometimes you remind me of a red-haired stepchild.
Don’t worry...Our Mother in Heaven loves you, too.
I like your othe list better with Mary as “Untier Of Knots”. That’s so funny. LOL!
It’s “Undoer of Knots”...and a beautiful painting.
If it's just a private arrangement, why is it included in what John says he wrote "that you may have life in [Jesus] name".
.................
Indeed!
After the morsel, Satan then entered into him. Therefore Jesus said to him, "What you do, do quickly."
John 13:27
Using the new Campion Hermeneutic, Mary is your mother and you should quickly betray Christ.
“Mary, Untier of Knots or Mary, Undoer of Knots”, per Wikipedia and a ton of other sites. In any case, it’s hilarious and I could sure use her when I’m quilting.
Is this supposed to offend me?
Oh? Looks like yet something else Catholics are not in unity about.
Ah, just anti-Irish bigotry...
Seems pretty simple to me.
They need someone to pray to in order to manipulate God, who is shown as an unloving and judgmental figure.
And if contorting Scripture means that they can keep ‘Mary’ between themselves and God, they’ll contort Scripture.
Sometimes I wonder if Roman Catholicism is just a big pile of daddy issues.
