When I was a catholic, I believed in Fatima. Now that I am an ex catholic, I certainly do NOT believe it. Now, I have no doubt those people actually saw something, but it was NOT the Virgin Mary (Semiramis) Since we know Satan can appear as an angel of light. I think its possible fallen angels can physically appear. The people saw a fallen angel, masquerading as Semiramis, er, I mean the Virgin Mary. 😁
It had to be fallen angels, since they gave a bunch of false doctrines, about the rosary, and maybe other issues as well. Mary has been dead for two thousand years. She isnt going to be appearing to anyone. 👍
The brown scapulars are out of stock...must be a whole lot of Catholictizing goin’ on. Is that the right word for Catholics “evangelizing” Protestants?
"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.
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.
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.

Did you intend to support the fraud of Fatima, because that is how your post comes across. A real phenomenon occurred at Fatima in 1917. There was a photographer recording the event. He captured images of the dull silver disc in the ait over the crowd and which ‘buzzed’ the mass of people. Radiation burtns were real and the eyewitness reports taken by the local Priest have been preserved in the museum at Fatima.The fourth child who saw a vision of an above the knees toga wearing apparition was real. But none of them saw The Mother of The Lord.
Ahhh, so that’s what purgatory is for..waiting for restocks of Catholic essentials!
I believe you just conjured up a new word. 😁😁🤪🤑 Congratulations. If you keep doing that, you might force Elsie and I to start conjuring up Limericks. Are you sure you want to open that Pandoras box, and release the kraken? 😉😀😊🤑🤣🤪
Elsies post did not come across that way to me. 🤣🤣😊
Well, I never thought of it that way, but you might be on to something there. 👍
You know there’s a bad moon rising
When gift stores start advising
We’re out of those things
Essential church blings
For sharing our Catholictizing.
YES! The boys have a competitor for best limericks now!
Oh I love a good limmerick! Ping me!
You be too much for them ... coined a new word and used it in a great limerick!
;)
😁🤑😆🤪🤣👍
I wonder if those children were in great danger of alien abduction? Someone told me once, that God uses miracles. Fallen angels use technology.
Remember to avoid the black eyed children. 😁👍
But that's not what it is...They have pitted their god against our God...They have put their Church against Jesus Christ...
We seek the words of Jesus and his wisdom...They seek the words of men and their philosophy and wisdom...
It was not Martin Luther who led me to a non Catholic religion...It was the bible...
Marty was used by God to put the scriptures into a language that Catholics could understand...People could read what God actually said and then make up their own minds...And this led to the greatest schism religion has ever encountered...Those who chose to read the scriptures for themselves left the Catholic religion...Those who didn't bother with the scriptures but loved to hear the religious sounding Latin language and the religious looking settings stayed...And it's still true today...
The Catholic religion is their god...
