God allowed the last eight years of a diabolical regime to happen in our country and, indirectly, to the world because it was what it took to open our collective eyes to the truth.
The same thing is happening to the Catholic church and, in HIS time, will be cleansed of evil.
(IMHO)
2 Maccabees 6
Today’s reading for me.
God’s discipline or God’s full punishment
Amen.
Respectfully, the article is too long ......
[13It is, in fact, a sign of great kindness to punish the impious promptly instead of letting them go for long.
14h Thus, in dealing with other nations, the Sovereign Lord patiently waits until they reach the full measure of their sins before punishing them; but with us he has decided to deal differently,
15in order that he may not have to punish us later, when our sins have reached their fullness.
16Therefore he never withdraws his mercy from us. Although he disciplines us with misfortunes, he does not abandon his own people.]
Thank you for leading me to that because it aligns perfectly with my thinking, I just didn’t have eloquence of those words to express them.
Try this. Much better formatting.

All ‘popes’ subsequent to the evil destroyer of tenet and liturgy known as Vatican II, were complicit in the destruction of Christ’s Roman Catholic Church and the creation of an entirely new religion.
This new religion has little to do with God and Jesus Christ and much to do with elevating man thereby replacing the Holy Trinity.
These renegades have much to answer for when they come face to face with their creator.
There’s a lot of evidence which suggest Bennedict was blackmailed/threatened into resigning so that the globaists could force an atheist Marxist into his position
Well said. It’s like trying to read spaghetti.
In the article:
Russia Will Punish the World - 3rd Secret of Fatima Revealed
http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2016/10/russia-will-punish-world.html
you find this paragraph:
Pope John Paul II said to a group of pilgrims in Fulda, West Germany, in November 1980, speaking about the secrets of Fatima, that: “We have to be prepared to suffer, before long, great trials which will require of us the disposition to sacrifice even our life for Christ. Through your prayers and mine, it is still possible to diminish this trial (predicted at Fatima), but it is no longer possible to avert it, because only in this manner can the Church be effectively renewed. How many times has the renewal of the Church been brought about in blood! It will not be different this time.” (http://www.fatima.org/thirdsecret/fulda.asp).
Christ was crucified 2000 years ago for the redemption of the world. This time the Body of Christ, the Church, together with her head Christ, will be crucified in this period of the “great tribulation” (Mt 24.21).
The four cardinals are like the St. John Fisher’s for today. As written in the article: “The four cardinals only asked for clarity in the teaching of the Church for the true good of souls!!!”
“Only a blind man can deny that there is great confusion in the Church.”
January 15, 2017
An interview with Carlo Cardinal Caffarra about “Amoris Laetitia”, the reasons for the dubia, criticisms of the 4 Cardinals, and “the division among shepherds”
Bologna - “I believe that some things must be clarified. The letter - and the attached dubia - were reflected on at length, for months, and were discussed at length among ourselves. For my part, they were prayed about at length before the Blessed Sacrament.” Cardinal Carlo Caffarra starts by saying this, before beginning a long conversation with Il Foglio on the now famous letter “of the four cardinals” sent to the Pope to ask him for clarification in relation to Amoris Laetitia, the exhortation which summed up the double Synod on the family, and which has unleashed much debate – not always with grace and elegance – [both] inside and outside the Vatican walls. “We were aware that the action we were taking was very serious. Our concerns were twofold. The first was not to scandalize the little ones in the faith. For us pastors, this is a fundamental obligation. The second concern was that no person, whether a believer or not a believer, should be able to find in the letter expressions that even remotely could appear in the slightest lacking in respect towards the Pope. The final text, therefore, is the fruit of quite a lot of revisions: texts [were] revised, rejected, corrected…”
“The problem in the footnote [351] is the following,” argues Caffara: “Can a minister of the Eucharist (usually a priest) give the Eucharist to a person who lives more uxorio [as husband and wife] with a woman or man who is not his wife or her husband, and does not intend to live in continence? There are only two answers: Yes or No. Anything else calls into question that Familiaris Consortio, Sacramentum caritatis , the Code of Canon Law and the Catechism of the Catholic Church answer No to the aforementioned question…”
Read the rest of the article at: http://www.catholicworldreport.com/Item/5349/Only_a_blind_man_can_deny_that_there_is_great_confusion_in_the_Church.aspx
In short, we know who wrote the final chapter of the story, God. But before we arrive to the resurrection, the Body of Christ must pass through the crucifixion, and true Christians will be asked to even offer their lives, as Christ did for us, in this purification of the Church, as John Paul II told us.
Really? Please show the “evidence.”
Those who pray sincerely, “Thy will be done”, not “My will be done”, will be able to distinguish between the beautiful lies of Satan and the uncomfortable truth on the Cross, Jesus Christ. For Catholics, the Mass, Confession, Rosary, and adoration are extremely important in these times of great deception!

Here is the Catholic without the Babylonian heresy.
You can find my comment below regarding the article:
The Great Difficulty In Overcoming Pharisaism - The Difference Between Schismatic Traditionalism and the False Pope Prophecies
http://schis-trad.blogspot.it/2016/05/overcoming-pharisaism.html
No, I do not think we are on the same page. The article offers the references of Cardinal Danneel’s Mafia, and the automatic excommunication for these activities in the Apostolic Constitution Universi Domini Gregis.
There is a real battle going on here. It would be a mistake to lump everything together. With the great lack of prayer today, and more sin than ever, we have given the power to deceive to the forces of evil.
In the above mentioned article there is the paragraph:
“THE CHURCH ON EARTH, THE “CHURCH MILITANT”, IS MADE UP OF SAINTS AND SINNERS AND EVERYTHING ELSE IN BETWEEN (Mt 13:36-40, 47-50). In the early Church the heretical cult, the DONATISTS, explained these two parables of the fish and of the weeds in a rather simplistic way: the Church was made up of only the good people and the world was made up of all the evil people without hope of salvation. The Church would be in the world as a “closed garden” or better, the Ark of Noah in which only for the very few there is salvation from the general flood. St. Augustine’s thought won out which was that of the universal Church. The Church herself is a field in which grow weeds and good seed, bad and good together . St. Augustine even exclaimed: “How many sheep there are outside the Church and how many wolves are inside!” The world is not divided into children of darkness and children of light; but rather we are all children of darkness, we are all weeds, but destined, if we desire it, to become children of the light and good grain, receiving the Kingdom and converting ourselves. Nothing is fixed or fatal, no castes of the elect or of the damned. The field is, yes, the world, but it is also the Church: the place in which there is room to grow, to convert oneself and above all to imitate the patience of God. “The bad exist in this world either so that they might convert themselves, or that by way of them the good exercise patience” (St. Augustine).” At the end of the world will be the separation between the saved and the damned, not now as many in the SSPX believe, or as Calvin believed!”
If one is truly humble and praying a lot, and willing to suffer with Christ in this period of the Church, this person will be able to distinguish the difference.
“It’s like trying to read spaghetti.”
Let us not bring the Pastafarians into this.
Yes. Read my comment to piusv. But if we are true Christians, we will be willing to suffer with Christ in this great purification in this “great tribulation” (Mt 24:21).
Just as Christ was crucified and buried 2000 years ago, and many disciples (Emmaus etc.) left Jerusalem, so too, the Body of Christ, the Church, will be crucified and buried and Satan will believe in his pride to have total victory over the Church as Satan believe 2000 years ago when Christ died. It will be more humiliating for Satan to believe that he has total victory and then to be crushed by the woman (Gen 3:15). To read a further explanation of this, you might look at the classic book of St. Louis De Montfort:
“True Devotion To Mary”,

Most likely some sort of blackmail.
I agree. We won’t know all the facts until later. In the meantime, the four cardinals, the “Dubia”, are right. It is rather revealing the reaction of “Pope Francis” to the simple questions of the four cardinals for clarification:
