When Jesuits and Popes Dance With the Devil

Remnant Newspaper ^ | July 17, 2017 | Fr. Celatus

[ebb tide]

Years ago I was brought in as a priest to a psych ward in a VA hospital to work with a suicidal Vietnam veteran. His family was convinced that the root of his problem was not merely mental but diabolical. After spending some time with the tormented veteran, I agreed that something diabolical was at work. One thing I remember the veteran saying was that he “danced with the devil.” I shudder at the thought!

So I prayed the Rosary with him, taught him the prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel and enrolled him in the scapular. For a while he seemed better but then one day he hanged himself in the hospital. He was rescued before he died and as he was wheeled away a priest noticed the scapular and gave him absolution. The veteran died shortly after and I am hopeful the Blessed Mother saved his poor soul from the devil.

We should never underestimate the unsurpassable power of prayer and sacramentals but neither should we underestimate the powerful preternatural activity of the demons. If that veteran was, in fact, diabolically obsessed then it is no wonder that he was so suicidal and intent upon destroying himself.  But not all people believe in the devil. Take, for instance, the recent comment by the Superior General of the Jesuits: “We have formed symbolic figures such as the devil to express evil. Social conditioning can also represent this figure, since there are people who act [in an evil way] because they are in an environment where it is difficult to act to the contrary.” Predictably the Jesuits are spinning his denial.

Bad enough that a Superior General does not believe in the devil but remember that another prominent Jesuit denied damnation: “There is no punishment, but the annihilation of that soul. All the others will participate in the beatitude of living in the presence of the Father. The souls that are annihilated will not take part in that banquet; with the death of the body their journey is finished.” So said Francis of Rome.

No wonder the Vatican regime has now so tightly aligned itself with diabolically driven suicidal causes, including its obsession with massive Islamic immigration—jihad invasion— of a radical religion whose adherents are determined to preside over the final demise of western culture and Christianity. Can we not say that these reckless advocates of such a suicidal cause are “dancing with the devil?”

How else can we explain the diabolical disorientation that has so completely infested the institutional Church and western society? How else can we make sense of the suicidal strategy of ecclesiastical and political leaders to collapse western culture and Christianity through an overwhelming Islamic invasion? Consider this list of documented Islamic terrorist attacks that have occurred the past few years in Europe: 

- June 3, 2017: London Bridge: 7 killed, 48 injured
- May 22, 2017: Manchester Rock Concert: 22 killed, dozens injured
- April 17, 2017: Stockholm, Sweden: 5 killed, 10 injured
- March 22, 2017: Westminster Bridge: 4 killed
- December 19, 2016: Berlin, Germany: 12 killed, 48 injured
- July 14, 2016: Nice, France: 84 killed, 202 injured
- June 29, 2016: Istanbul, Turkey: 41 killed, 230 injured
- March 22, 2016: Brussels Airport: 32 killed, 100’s injured
- November 13, 2015: Paris, France: 129 killed, others injured
- January 7-9, 2015: Paris, France: 17 dead, others injured
- May 24, 2014: Brussels Jewish Museum: 4 dead, others injured
- May 22, 2013: London streets: 1 killed
- March 19, 2012: Toulouse Jewish School: 7 killed, others injured
- July 22, 2011: Norway: 77 dead, others injured
- July 7, 2005: London subway: 52 killed, hundreds injured
- March 11, 2004: Madrid commuter trains: 200 killed, 1800 injured
- November 20, 2003: Istanbul, Turkey: 27 killed, 450 injured

Notice that the higher the Moslem immigration rate the greater the frequency of Islamic terrorist attacks.

Though few in number, there is a small faithful remnant among the modernist Black Robes (and White Robe) who have not embraced the diabolical disorientation that so widely afflicts the Church and the world. One notable exception is Father Henri Boulad, a former Provincial of Jesuits in Egypt, who knows from his personal experience and scholarly study the extreme danger that Islam inherently represents.

In an interview with the National Catholic Register, Father Boulad stated that “Islam is an open ended declaration of war against non-Muslims” and that Islamic “extremists are just applying what their religion teaches them to do.” In a personal letter to the wayward Jesuit, Francis of Rome, Father Boulad wrote:

“It seems to me that — on the pretext of openness, tolerance and Christian charity — the Catholic Church has fallen into the trap of the liberal left ideology which is destroying the West. Anything that does not espouse this ideology is immediately stigmatized in the name of “political correctness”. Many think that a certain number of your positions are aligned with this ideology and that, from complacency, you go from concessions to concessions and compromises in compromises at the expense of the truth.”

In support of his contention that Islam is inherently intolerant and violent, Father quotes from the Koran:

- 'Kill the unbelievers wherever you find them.' (2:191)
- 'Make war on the infidels living in your neighborhood.'  (9:123)
- 'When opportunity arises, kill the infidels wherever you catch them.'  (9:5)
- 'Any religion other than Islam is not acceptable.'  (3:85)
- 'The Jews and the Christians are perverts; fight them.' (9:30)
- 'Maim and crucify the infidels if they criticize Islam' (5:33)
- 'Punish the unbelievers with garments of fire, hooked iron rods, boiling water; melt their skin and bellies.' (22:19)
- 'The unbelievers are stupid; urge the Muslims to fight them.' (8:65)
- 'Muslims must not take the infidels as friends.' (3:28)
- 'Terrorize and behead those who believe in scriptures other than the Qur’an.'  (8:12)
- 'Muslims must muster all weapons to terrorize the infidels.' (8:60)

The evidence is overwhelming, expressed in texts of the Koran and headlines of the world, that Islam is an intolerant and dangerous religion that demands complete submission and crushes all opposition. Only someone dancing with the devil would be so suicidal as to welcome the spread of such a diabolical force. If Jorge Bergoglio wants to swap his zucchetto for a fez and Hillary Clinton wants to hide her face under a burka so be it, but as for The Last Word, we remain faithful to the one true religion and the one true God.

Whatever? Really? You keep praying to Mary for salvation - good luck with that! I'll pray to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ for my Salvation.

Indeed, seeing as the Holy Spirit inspired approx. 200 prayers to Heaven in Scripture but none ([]) addressed to anyone but the Lord, who also is the only one shown able to hear all such and respond to them, as is position, power and prerogative.

Faced with trying to justify why the Holy Spirit would not include even one prayer by a believer to anyone else is Heaven when He so abundantly records prayers, yet does record pagans praying to created beings, Caths resort to extrapolating this from praying for each other in the earthly realm, but which ignores the manifest divisions.

They also seem top imagine that clarifying that Mary does everything thru the Lord Jesus somehow justifies teaching what the Spirit of Christ never does, but warns us not to think of mortals above that which is written. (1Co. 4:6)

And rejecting this, and the very tempered manner in which the Holy Spirit describes mortals, Catholic have created a Mary who is far beyond what it written of her or of any created being. Such as that that "No one achieves salvation except through you...No one receives grace except through you...no one obtains mercy except through you." "Thou are all-powerful in saving sinners.." "if you go to God through Mary, your work will become Mary's work, and consequently will be most noble and most worthy of God." “sometimes salvation is quicker if we remember Mary's name then if we invoked the name of the Lord Jesus.." "that one alone is solicitous for us in Heaven. ".. who "alone art truly loving and solicitous for our welfare." "when she acts, it is also He who acts;...and through her alone does He dispense His favours and His gifts" "the greatness of the power which she wields over one who is God cannot be conceived..." "He is a debtor to you." "through Whom the Holy Trinity is sanctified..." "the greatness of the power which she wields over one who is God cannot be conceived...

"The union between the Immaculata and the Holy Spirit is so inexpressible, yet so perfect, that the Holy Spirit acts only by the Most Blessed Virgin, his Spouse. This is why she is the mediatrix of all graces given by the Holy Spirit. And since every grace is a gift of God the Father through the Son and by the Holy Spirit, it follows that there is no grace which Mary cannot dispose of as her own, which is not given to her for this purpose." — Manteau-Bonamy, Immaculate Conception, 91; F.X. Durrwell, The Holy Spirit of God (Cincinnati: Servant Books, 2006), 183-185.

No one achieves salvation except through you...No one receives grace except through you...no one obtains mercy except through you."

"Thou are all-powerful in saving sinners.." "the greatest consolation that I receive from God... the light of my soul when it is enveloped in darkness...the hope of my salvation" ( St. Germanus (638-730), first bishop of Cyzicus, patriarch of Constantinople, various works; http://campus.udayton.edu/mary/prayers/SaintsPrayers2.htm)

"In "Glories of Mary" by Liguori, whose writings were declared free from anything meriting censure by Pope Gregory XVI (1839) in the bull of his canonization, he teaches,

Beware, chosen soul, of thinking that it is more perfect to direct your work and intention straight to Jesus or straight to God. Without Mary, your work and your intention will be of little value. But if you go to God through Mary, your work will become Mary's work, and consequently will be most noble and most worthy of God. - THE SECRET OF MARY, St. Louis de Montfort; http://www.ewtn.com/library/Montfort/SECRET.HTM

According to Eadmer (A.D. 1060–1124), an English monk and student of Anselm, “sometimes salvation is quicker if we remember Mary's name then if we invoked the name of the Lord Jesus...[who] does not at once, answer anyone who invokes him, but only does so after just judgment. But if the name of his mother Mary is invoked, her merits intercede so that he is answered even if the merits of him who invoked her do not deserve it.” Through her “the elements are renewed, the netherworld is healed, the demons are trodden underfoot, men are saved and angels are restored.” — Andrew Taylor, “Three medieval manuscripts and their readers,” University of Pennsylvania press; page 173

And where can we find an advocate who is more earnest in the affair of our salvation, or who loves us more than Mary? "We acknowledge," says Saint Augustine of her, "that one alone is solicitous for us in Heaven. "...in order that our Lord may pardon us our sins, help us with His grace, free us from dangers, and relieve us in our wants, says, addressing in the words of an ancient writer: 'We know that we have as it were but one solicitous in Heaven for us, and thou art this one, so greatly does thy solicitude for us exceed that of all the Saints.'" - Liguori, Saint Alfonso Maria De'. (2013). pp. 181-2. The Glories of Mary. London: Forgotten Books. http://www.forgottenbooks.com/readbook_text/The_Glories_of_Mary_1000665057/181"

that God loved Mary more than all the other Saints together... "We acknowledge," says Saint Augustine of her, "that one alone is solicitous for us in Heaven." Mary could not be more closely united to God without becoming God. Saint Alphonsus de Liguori, The Glories of Mary, in Little Book of Saints by Christine Barrely; http://www.catholictradition.org/Mary/marys-book20.htm

the tenderness that Thou showest us in Heaven, in obtaining for us by Thy prayers so many mercies from God, obliges us to acknowledge that in Heaven we have but one advocate, and that is Thyself; and that Thou alone art truly loving and solicitous for our welfare. - Alphonsus de Liguori, The Immaculate Heart of Mary is the Refuge of Sinners;

Mary can be declared by the Church to be not only the “helpmate” of that Second Divine Person — Co-Redemptrix in Salvation, Mediatrix in grace — but actually “like unto Him.”...when she acts, it is also He who acts; and that if her intervention be not accepted, neither is His.... Her position as "the first of all creatures, the most acceptable child of God, the nearest and dearest to him," (Cardinal Newman); As Mother of God, says Lepicier, Mary contracts a certain affinity with the Father; · The pre-eminent resemblance which she bears to the Father, which has fitted her to pour out into the world the everlasting light which issues from that loving Father.... He has no children but by her, and communicates no graces but by her...and through her alone does He dispense His favours and His gifts. A Marian Synthesis; http://www.catholicapologetics.info/apologetics/general/msynthesis.htm

Mary is the sealed fountain and the faithful spouse of the Holy Spirit where only he may enter...She is the sanctuary and resting-place of the Blessed Trinity...the holy City of God, the greatness of the power which she wields over one who is God cannot be conceived...her prayers and requests are so powerful with him that he accepts them as commands...because it is always humble and conformed to his will, the dispenser of all he possesses...What immeasurable greatness...Mary has authority over the angels and the blessed in heaven...God gave her the power and the mission of assigning to saints the thrones made vacant by the apostate angels who fell away through pride....all the angels in heaven unceasingly call out to her...They greet her countless times each day with the angelic greeting, "Hail, Mary", while prostrating themselves before her, begging her as a favour to honour them with one of her requests...The whole world is filled with her glory,... Moreover, we should repeat after the Holy Spirit, "All the glory of the king's daughter is within".... Whatever desires the patriarchs may have cherished, whatever entreaties the prophets and saints of the Old Law may have had for 4,000 years to obtain that treasure, it was Mary alone who merited it and found grace before God by the power of her prayers and the perfection of her virtues." — St. Louis de Montfort, in Treatise on True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin, miscl. http://www.legionofmarytidewater.com/docs/true.doc

He who fills heaven and earth, and is the Lord of all, was pleased to be in need of you...you have made Him a debtor who gives being to all creatures. We are all debtors to God, but He is a debtor to you." (St. Methodius (d. 847), "The Greatest Marian Prayers")

More by God's grace.

The veteran died shortly after and I am hopeful the Blessed Mother saved his poor soul from the devil.

*Unbiblical* is being kind.

It's right from the pit of hell.

Acts 4:11-12 This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone. And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

[HarleyD]

It's right from the pit of hell.

Let him who has ears hear this truth.

Jer 44:17  But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil. 

[Elsie]

So I prayed the Rosary with him, taught him the prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel and enrolled him in the scapular. For a while he seemed better but then one day he hanged himself in the hospital.

I guess he should have graduated...

For a low; LOW! price of ONLY $11.95...

Does Catholicism still teach that suicides go to hell?

[Elsie]

Totally unBiblical!!! Jesus saves souls, NOT Mary.

Sorry; Mom; but a LOT of LEARNED Catholic disagree mightily with you!!

Ambrose: …constantly pray ‘Open to us, O Mary, the gates of paradise, since thou hast its KEYS.

Anselm: It suffices, O Lady, that thou willest it, and our SALVATION is certain.

Antoninus: …souls protected by Mary, and on which she casts her eyes, are NECESSARILY JUSTIFIED AND SAVED. 

Athanasius: …And, thou, O Lady, wast filled with grace, that thou mightiest be the way of our SALVATION and the means of ascent to the heavenly Kingdom.

Bernadine: …all gifts, all virtues, and all graces are dispensed by the hands of Mary to whomsoever, when, and as she pleases. O Lady, since thou art the dispenser of all graces, and since the grace of salvation can ONLY come through thy hands, OUR SALVATION DEPENDS ON THEE.

(Leo XIII: Adiutricem populi, September 5, 1895) — [p. 19, no. 44]

Blosius: To the, O Lady, are committed the KEYS and the treasures of the kingdom of Heaven.

Bonaventure: …the gates of heaven will open to all who confide in the protection of Mary. Blessed are they who know thee, O Mother of God, for the knowledge of THEE is the high road to everlasting life, and the publication of thy virtues is the way of ETERNAL SALVATION . Give ear, O ye nations; and all you who desire heaven , serve, honor Mary, and certainly you will find ETERNAL LIFE.

She says, "He that shall find Me shall find life, and shall have salvation from the Lord.   "Qui me invenerit, inveniet vitam, et hauriet salutem a Domino."

Listen," exclaims St. Bonaventure on these words, "listen, all you who desire the kingdom of God: honor the most Blessed Virgin Mary, and you will find life and eternal salvation."  "Audite qui ingredi cupitis regnum Dei: Virginem Mariam honorate, et invenietis vitam et salutem perpetuam."-psalt. B.V.ps.48.

 

Ephem: …devotion to the divine Mother…is the unlocking of the heavenly Jerusalem.

Fulgetius: …by Mary God descended from Heaven into the world, that by HER man might ascend from earth to Heaven.

Guerric: …he who serves Mary and for whom she intercedes, is as CERTAIN of heaven as if he were already there…and those who DO NOT serve Mary will NOT BE SAVED.

Richard of Laurence: Mary, in fine, is the mistress of heaven; for there she commands as she wills, and ADMITS whom she wills.

 

“The Catholic Church has always and with justice put all her hope and trust in the Mother of God.”

(Leo XIII: Encyclical, Supreme Apostolatus, September 1, 1883.) — [p. 32, no. 104]

“... Yet our manner of praying to the Blessed Virgin has something in common with our worship of God so that the Church even addressed to her the words with which we pray to God: ‘Have mercy on sinners.’”

(Leo XIII: Encyclical, Augustissimae, September 12, 1897.) [p. 68; no. 302]

"Only She Can Help You"
by Father Nicholas Gruner, S.T.L., S.T.D. (Cand.)
In this letter introducing The Fatima Crusader Issue 38, Father Gruner discusses the growing lies and deception about Russia's errors and the consecration of that nation. He also reminds us that, while it is urgent that we be informed about and fight for Our Lady's cause, we must ask for Her help and intercession.

In the Fatima sanctuary, at the exact spot where Our Lady appeared, Father Gruner pays homage to Her while touching the original statue of Fatima. Father Gruner was recently graced with this rare opportunity since normally this sacred image is always protected by a glass covering which completely surrounds it all day long.

Mary Leads Her Servants to Heaven
by St. Alphonsus de Liguori
In this article taken from The Glories of Mary, Saint Alphonsus explains that there are countless souls in Heaven who are there now only because Mary, by Her powerful intercession, led them there. If a soul persists in true devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, She will certainly lead that soul to Heaven.

The Rosary
by Father Stefano Manelli, S.T.D.
It is greatly important that Our Lady insisted on the Rosary. When at Fatima She spoke of the salvation of sinners, of the ruin of souls in hell, of wars and peace, and of the future of our age. Our Lady indicated and recommended the Rosary as the prayer that saves, that brings peace, that preserves the faith.

Hail Mary, Full of Grace
by Father Stefano Manelli, S.T.D.
It is truly a treasure to have a strong devotion to Our Lady, for it is She who unites us to Jesus and brings us to Heaven, as this article explains.

Mary, Our Life, Our Sweetness, Our Hope
by St. Alphonsus de Liguori
St. Alphonsus de Liguori explains how Mary is our life, how She is our sweetness, and how She is our hope.

The historical record of the worship of Mary accumulated by St. Alphonsus de Liguori who wrote “The Glories of Mary” in the year 1745, which has been since translated into English and printed again and again and again with the full affirmation and imprimatur of the official Roman Catholic Church.  In this book there is the sum of all the glories of Mary which has been vouchsafe to the Roman Catholic Church and the Church itself calls upon all its constituents to give Mary that honor she is due.  She is identified as Mary, our Queen; Mary, our mother; Mary, our life; Mary, our sweetness; Mary, our hope; Mary, our help; Mary, our Mediatress; Mary, our advocate; Mary, our guardian; and Mary, our salvation.  It is said that Mary delivers us from hell, Mary delivers us from purgatory, and Mary leads us to heaven.  And it should be said that de Liguori, who collected all the Marion dogma and devotion, was himself one of the most celebrated and revered authorities in the Roman Catholic Church.  De Liguori was himself a cardinal in life, and a saint in death.

 

Jesus said "Without Me you can do nothing". In this crisis which looms ahead of us, Our Lady has told us that we need Her help, Her intercession. We must ask for Her help with the Rosary and the Scapular.

At Fatima, Our Lady told us very plainly that "Only I can help you". Today more than ever is this so true.

Pray the Rosary and sacrifice yourself for Our Lady.

I urge you to also make some sacrifices as Our Lady of Fatima asked us. For those who are able, do some fasting. If you can, abstain from meat by eating meat only during one meal a day. Try to do this for two days, even ten days or 30 days. Of course we should abstain totally from meat every Friday.

 

 Jesus and Mary — Our Hope

It is so urgent that we reach as many souls as possible before it is too late. Let us be of good cheer and remember the words of Jesus to each of us, "It's never too late to have recourse to Jesus and Mary." That is why it is so important to reach the many millions of souls who do not know this, and who do not know the grave dangers lying in wait for their souls.

No, we must never lose hope. Mary is our hope. She can obtain for us what we cannot by ourselves. Read what St. Alphonsus has to say regarding confidence in Our Lady's intercession in "Mary Leads Her Servants to Heaven". Father Manelli also reminds us of the importance of devotion to Our Lady. (See "Hail Mary, Full of Grace"). Our Blessed Mother tells us to turn to Her in confidence. She tells us repeatedly to ask Her intercession through the frequent fervent praying of the Rosary. (See "The Rosary"). She tells us we must pray the Rosary every day. She wants us to pray it many times a day.

"Blessed is he whose interior offers the Blessed Virgin Mary a place of repose." Devotion towards the Blessed Virgin remains in all who are the inheritance of Our Lord; that is to say, in all who will praise Him eternally in Heaven.

O, how many blessed souls are now in Heaven who would never have been there had not Mary, by Her powerful intercession, led them thither. I made that in the heavens there should rise light that never faileth. Cardinal Hugo, in his commentary on the above text of Ecclesiasticus, says in the name of Mary, "I have caused as many saints in Heaven through Her intercession, who would never have been there but through Her ."

...in the words of St. Ambrose, "Open to us, O Mary, the gates of paradise, since Thou hast its keys." "Aperi nobis, O Virgo coelum, cujus claves habes." Nay more, the Church says, that "Thou art its gate." 

 

---

 

St. Antoninus tells us "that this divine Mother has already, by Her assistance and prayers, obtained Heaven for us, provided we put no obstacle in the way."23

Hence, says Abbot Guerric, "he who serves Mary, and for whom She intercedes, is as certain of Heaven as if he was already there."24

St. John Damascene also says, "that to serve Mary and be Her courtier is the greatest honor we can possibly possess; for to serve the Queen of Heaven is already to reign there, and live under Her commands is more than to govern."25

On the other hand, he adds, "that those who do not serve Mary will not be saved; for those who are deprived of the help of this great Mother are also deprived of that of Her Son and of the whole court of heaven."26

 23.  "Coeleste nobis regnum, suo interventu auxiliis, et precibus, impetravit."—Paciucch. Sup. Salve Reg. exc. I.
 24. "Qui Virgini famulatur, ita securus est de paradiso, ac si esset in paradiso."
 25. "Summus honor, servire Mariæ, et de ejus esse familia; etenim ei servire, regnare est; et ejus agi frænis, summa libertas."
 26. "Gens quæ non servierit illi, peribit; gentes destitutæ tantæ Matris auxilio, destituuntur auxilio Filii et totius curi’‘ coelestis."— De Laud. B. M. I. 4.

The veteran died shortly after and I am hopeful the Blessed Mother saved his poor soul from the devil.

Let's try some easy math:

There are approximately 1.2 billion Catholics world wide;

If merely 1% of them  'ask' Mary for help just once each day;

that means that 12 million separate prayers are headed Mary's direction every day.

Given that there are 86,400 seconds per day... (24 hours times 60 minutes times 60 seconds)

...that means that Mary has to handle approximately 139 'requests' per second!

Purty good fer someone NOT 'divine'!

[Iscool]

A very sad commentary

The veteran died shortly after and I am hopeful the Blessed Mother saved his poor soul from the devil.

I and you (have available) the very words of God printed in his bibles...Where have you or anyone ever seen where it says or is hinted at that the mother of Jesus can save souls??? You haven't...That ought to send the flags flying...

1Co 3:21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours;
1Co 3:22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;
1Co 3:23 And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.

1Co 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

So here is the order of things:
Woman
Man
Christ
God
The mother of Jesus is not on the list...

But not all people believe in the devil. Take, for instance, the recent comment by the Superior General of the Jesuits: “We have formed symbolic figures such as the devil to express evil.

Bad enough that a Superior General does not believe in the devil but remember that another prominent Jesuit denied damnation: “There is no punishment, but the annihilation of that soul. All the others will participate in the beatitude of living in the presence of the Father. The souls that are annihilated will not take part in that banquet; with the death of the body their journey is finished.” So said Francis of Rome

And that's not all...The same person, Francis, your pope claims that Heaven is not a real place but a state of mind...

There is no heaven...There is no hell...There is no devil...So do you think they actually believe in Jesus??? So why even bother??? And that's not all...

It is the official position of your religion that there is no physical heaven and hell...They are just a state of mind...

Does God agree with your Church??? Absolutely not...

Just remember, these same popes and cardinals and bishops and Catholic Church fathers who do not believe what God says are the same people who have convinced you to believe that the mother of Jesus can save people, or provide grace for you, and give you comfort in time of need, when God never said any such thing...

If you ever come across another desperate, deprabved soul, this is what you should tell/show him...

Mat 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Mat 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
Mat 11:30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Eph 1:12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
Eph 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
Eph 1:14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

[2nd amendment mama]

AMEN!

[2nd amendment mama]

“sometimes salvation is quicker if we remember Mary's name then if we invoked the name of the Lord Jesus.

Absolute heresy!!! I really feel sorry for them that they don't see the absolute fallacy and danger in this idolatry for Mary. They are risking their salvation. I have NEVER seen it in Scripture that we are to pray Mary for salvation. Jesus is our ONLY path to salvation.

Matthew 12:46-47 plus some that OBVIOUSLY got lost in translation...

 

While Jesus was still speaking to the crowds, His mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to Him.
Someone told Him, “Look, Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to You.”
But Jesus replied, “When I'm gone; check with Mom over at John's house.  She'll be handling requests on Earth in my absense.

She will bundle all your requests and send them to me on the Overnight Angelic Express.  I'll then deal with the one's she deems worthy.

. The veteran died shortly after and I am hopeful the Blessed Mother saved his poor soul from the devil.

Most assuredly she did not. Christ is the only one that can save. Hope in anyone or anything else is in vain .

Actually the way it appears here is Catholics seem to think Jesus does nothing without Mary Someone is in for a big surprise
