I was roman catholic half my life.
Plenty of priests were family friends, mom worked as church secretary. Got to know priests as actual people and family friends.
More than one believed muslims will go to heaven because of their so-called love of Mary. While at the same time unsure they were going to heaven. Apart from incorrectly believing in purgatory, they believe they could still screw something up in purgatory and not go to heaven.
These were senior priests, in charge of a parish.
They think muslims are going to heaven while they don’t know, and these guys are supposedly the ‘leaders’ of the flock.
It’s not a wonder the roman church is in such a mess in more ways than one.
When you are stuck in a works-based religion you have no certain hope.

Interesting article.
Seems to be so true about the actions of todays church.
The fact that Mary told them when to publish it kind of says to me she saw they wouldn’t.

But if prayer is certainly indispensable, we must also not fail to fight the good fight, making ourselves the witnesses to a courageous militancy under the banner of the Cross of Christ.
Let us not find ourselves being pointed out as the handmaiden did with Saint Peter in the high priest’s courtyard: “You too were one of his followers,” only to then deny Christ.
Let us not be intimidated! Let us not allow the gag of tolerance to be placed on those who want to proclaim the Truth!
Let us ask the Blessed Virgin Mary that our tongue may proclaim with courage the Kingdom of God and His Justice.
