The marble-patterned, hardcover book embossed with gold Hebrew letters looks like any other
religious commentary you’d find in an Orthodox Judaica bookstore — but reads like a rabbinic
instruction manual outlining acceptable scenarios for killing non-Jewish babies, children and
adults.
“The prohibition ‘Thou Shalt Not Murder’” applies only “to a Jew who kills a Jew,”
write Rabbis Yitzhak Shapira and Yosef Elitzur of the West Bank settlement of Yitzhar. Non-Jews
are “uncompassionate by nature” and attacks on them “curb their evil inclination,” while
babies and children of Israel’s enemies may be killed since “it is clear that they will grow
to harm us.”
“The King’s Torah (Torat Hamelech), Part One: Laws of Life and Death between Israel and
the Nations,” a 230-page compendium of Halacha, or Jewish religious law, published by the Od
Yosef Chai yeshiva in Yitzhar, garnered a front-page exposé in the Israeli tabloid Ma’ariv,
which called it the stuff of “Jewish terror.” (1)

A little over three minute long You Tube presentation by a Christian Orthodox faithful

theology their profession.
In that brief presentation a true Christian faithful will recognize what we have repeatedly said about the fundamental difference between the Church of the East - Orthodox Catholic (2) - and the Church of the West - Roman Catholic: There is none except in certain outward liturgical practices.

A slew of earthquakes continues to rattle Yellowstone National Park with the park seeing two of
its largest quakes in the recent swarm during a 24 hour period.
A magnitude 3.7 earthquake was recorded at 11:01 p.m. Wednesday, according to the University of Utah Seismograph Station's Web site. Minutes later, at 11:16 p.m., a magnitude 3.8 quake shook the park. Seven earthquakes were reported in the park during the 11 p.m. hour Wednesday.

The IPCC draws upon some 2,500 scientific reviewers and basks in the prestige of a Nobel

is, well, Himalayan.
"As of today, there are roughly 50 glaciers that have been worked scientifically," says Dr. Ganjoo. "Frankly speaking, 50 glaciers are absolutely a tip of the iceberg to get an idea about the other 9,500 [Himalayan] glaciers. I think it will take us ages to do work on each and every glacier."

...a sect in the Honduran Catholic Church known as “Opus Dei” allegedly participated actively in the coup against ousted President Manuel Zelaya, a study published said? (1)
According to the study, named “Opus Dei in Honduras, The Catholic Church in the Coup” by
sociologist Marco Burgos, members of the secret sect are active in Honduran national politics,
despite Honduras officially considered a secular country.
The study said that Opus Dei is headed by Cardinal Oscar Andres Rodriguez, spiritual leader of the Honduran Catholics, who has not denounced the coup and has instead blessed it, sources close to the church said.
Honduran de facto government Foreign Vice Minister Marta Lorena Alvarado and the Mayor of Tegucigalpa, Ricardo Alvarez are some of the members of the Opus Dei, which was featured in author Dan Browns best selling book and later movie – The Da Vinci Code.

The M+G+R Foundation Comments: No surprises here. That is the modus operandi of Opus
Dei.
With the following that Jesus had in the Holy Land area and as hated as their Roman masters were, why did He not lead a sure-to-succeed revolt against Rome? Couldn't the man Who could literally raise the dead - the Word of the God Who, through Moses, defeated the mighty Pharaoh - cause the Roman legions to flee in panic? Of course He could, but THAT is not the ways of God in Time.
Anyone - from a Pope of the last 1600 years to the Opus Dei cult - who would act otherwise, is acting against the teachings of Christ. Whomever acts against the teachings of Christ is nothing more than part of the mystical body of the Anti-Christ.
It really is that simple!

According to a new report by the Gallup Center for Muslim Studies the findings also reveal that
Americans hold more negative views about Islam than any other faith tested.
The M+G+R Foundation Comments: This should not come as a surprise since the anti-Muslim propaganda machinery can be compared with the Nazi anti-Semitic machinery. We are not denying the deeds of the fanatics within Islam; we are only highlighting how easily can large blocks of population be brainwashed and how grave the consequences will be.

The commission wrote to the Vatican’s Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith, of which Pope
Benedict had been head until April 2005, in September 2006.
It was asking for information on the document `Crimen Solicitationis’, which dealt with clerical sex abuse, as well as information on reports of clerical child sexual abuse conveyed to it by the Dublin archdiocese over the relevant period.
The Vatican did not reply. Instead it contacted the Department of Foreign Affairs stating that the commission had not gone through appropriate diplomatic channels.

...Operation Cable Splicer is a subprogram of the Rex 84 Program, which was established on the reasoning that if a 'mass exodus' of illegal aliens crossed the Mexican/US border, they would be quickly rounded up and detained in detention centers by FEMA? (1)
Rex 84 allowed many military bases to be closed down and to be turned into prisons.
Operation Cable Splicer is "the program for an orderly takeover of the state and local governments by the federal government. FEMA is the executive arm of the coming police state and thus will head up all operations. The Presidential Executive Orders already listed on the Federal Register also are part of the legal framework for this operation."

...coded references to New Testament Bible passages about Jesus Christ are inscribed on
high-powered rifle sights provided to the United States military by, Trijicon, a Michigan company?
(1)
One of the citations on the gun sights, 2COR4:6, is an apparent reference to Second Corinthians
4:6 of the New Testament, which reads: "For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness,
hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of
Jesus Christ."
Other references include citations from the books of Revelation, Matthew and John dealing with Jesus as "the light of the world." John 8:12, referred to on the gun sights as JN8:12, reads, "Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."
Trijicon confirmed to ABCNews.com that it adds the biblical codes to the sights sold to the U.S. military. Tom Munson, director of sales and marketing for Trijicon, which is based in Wixom, Michigan, said the inscriptions "have always been there" and said there was nothing wrong or illegal with adding them. Munson said the issue was being raised by a group that is "not Christian." The company has said the practice began under its founder, Glyn Bindon, a devout Christian from South Africa who was killed in a 2003 plane crash.

whereby we know that it is the last hour (2). 19 They went out from
us, but they were not of us. For if they had been of us, they would no doubt have remained with
us; but that they may be manifest, that they are not all of us. 20 But you have the unction from
the Holy One, and know all things. [1 John 2]

...the intercessory power of the Virgin Mary is so great that even if God was not going to act on a situation, He will if She intercedes?
It is important to note, however, that She does not tell Him what or how to do it; She only
asks Him to resolve a situation. Let us drop by the Wedding Feast in Cana and carefully observe
what transpired.
Notice that She only stated the problem to Her Son and then instructed the waiters to do whatever Jesus instructed them.
She did not tell Him to make more wine nor how to do it, should He decided to do so.
When we present a problem to God, let us have the humility of allowing Him to determine what the solution should be and how to achieve it. As the saying goes: "God is well qualified and has plenty of experience; He does not need our instruction... just our devotion.."
...there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee: and the mother of Jesus was there. 2 And Jesus also
was invited, and his disciples, to the marriage. 3 And the wine failing, the mother of
Jesus saith to him: They have no wine. 4 And Jesus saith to her: Woman, what is that to
me and to thee? my hour is not yet come. 5 His mother saith to the waiters: Whatsoever
he shall say to you, do ye.
6 Now there were set there six waterpots of stone, according to the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three measures apiece. 7 Jesus saith to them: Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. 8 And Jesus saith to them: Draw out now, and carry to the chief steward of the feast. And they carried it. 9 And when the chief steward had tasted the water made wine,... [John 2]

...it is easier and materially safer to say the popular things; i.e. what is politically, socially
and religiously correct and not question the status quo?
The fear of those who avoid saying what is not politically, socially and religiously correct is that such a "Reality Check" may affect his/her material well being.
Thanks be to God that Jesus did not feel that way. It is a shame than most of those who use His Name as a label/badge do not practice it.

.... Haiti and Cuba (1) - the countries in the worst possible state in the Americas are the world centers for VooDoo and Santeria (2) respectively?
No. We are not saying that God punished them for said practices since God does not punish. We bring it upon ourselves through the violation of spiritual laws that came into being at the time of Creation.
The problem is that when man drifts away from God - which happens in most cases when those beliefs are practiced - evil moves in and assumes control. When God leaves so does His protection .
A review of Teresa de Jesús (de Avila) Interior Castle will make the mechanism crystal clear.
This does not, in any way, imply that one should take the attitude of: Well, they had it coming; let them deal with it. On the contrary, they are only victims of a completely failed Evangelization.
We should go out of the way to correct both - the source problem (no Evangelization) and their horrific material condition - before and after the earthquake.
Let us remember two passages from the Holy Scriptures which illustrate this position better:
They that are well have no need of a physician, but they that are sick. For I came not to call
the just, but sinners. [Mark 2:17]
...fear ye not them that kill the body, and are not able to kill the soul: but rather
fear him that can destroy both soul and body in hell. [Matthew
10:28]
Let us pray....

...swarms of snakes are attacking people and cattle in southern Iraq as the Euphrates and Tigris rivers dry up and the reptiles lose their natural habitat? (1)
[our highlights]
"People are terrified and are leaving their homes," says Jabar Mustafa, a medical administrator,
who works in a hospital in the southern province of Dhi Qar.
The rivers that made Iraq's dry soil so fertile are drying up because the supply of water, which once flowed south into Iraq from Turkey, Syria and Iran, is now held back by dams and used for irrigation. On the Euphrates alone, Turkey has five large dams upriver from Iraq, and Syria has two.
The diversion of water from the rivers has already destroyed a large swathe of Iraqi agriculture and the result of Iraq being starved of water may be one of the world's greatest natural disasters, akin to the destruction of the Amazonian rainforest.

That is most likely a myth as so many generated by the Roman Catholic Hierarchical Administrators. What is true is that he was never aware of the messages from Fatima since the first was made known by Lucía in the year 1925 - that is, after he had crossed the veil.

...the Viennese Cardinal Schönborn continues to promote Medjugorje and now compares it to Lourdes while calling it 'a school of normal Christian life'? (1)
[our highlights]
The cardinal said that the alleged messages of Medjugorje are not as important as the prayer
that takes place there, including Eucharistic adoration, the Way of the Cross, Confession, and
the daily praying of the entire Psalter. “In order to doubt that into Medjugorje a stream of
grace flows, one must shut one’s eyes,” he added, comparing Medjugorje to Lourdes as a
place where hearts are transformed.
Also comparing the Church’s caution towards the alleged apparitions to the Church’s caution towards St. Faustina, the cardinal stated that the “personal reliability” of the witnesses, the sensus fidelium, and the charitable works associated with Medjugorje are “surely an important element.”
“What does one learn from the Mother of God? The faith in everyday life! For me Medjugorje is a school of normal Christian life.”.

“What does one learn from the Mother of God? The faith in everyday life! For me Medjugorje is a school of normal Christian life.”.
The M+G+R Foundation Comments: This is a reckless outrage. We remind our
readers about our position about Medjugorje:
The man who became miguel de Portugal visited Medjugorje in the second half of the eighties and it was not until he broke away from the tourist scene which pervaded the whole area that he reestablished contact with the supernatural which could be felt in that once holy village.
But before "we get misty eyed" let us have a reality check about that "stream of graces" which allegedly flows from Medjugorje.
What was one of the first teachings that Mary imparted at the very beginning? On July 21, 1982, She is reported to have said (and repeated frequently):
It was in 1987 - six years after the first Marian manifestation - when the winds of war started to blow in the Federal Republic Of Yugoslavia (3) - where Medjugorje was located. Essentially the Milosevic era started and the rest is history... a bloody war history still being worked out in the World Tribunal at The Hague.
Then we must pose the following: Either Mary lied or the millions upon millions that visited Medjugorje prior to the Milosevic era were no more than religious tourists who took home with them little more than their dirty laundry and a few souvenirs.
Of course Mary did not lie! What She said is true and we know it (not believe it, but know it from much actual practice). Obviously, as we have seen far too many times, once home most the new "converts" were only converted.... to Religious Tourism! Prayer, fasting (if they even tried it!) and sacrifice came to almost a standstill.
The same story with Kibeho, Africa. (4) Mary appeared there in 1981, it was approved in 1982.
One of the visionaries saw: "A river of blood, people who killed one another, abandoned bodies with no one to bury them, a tree on fire, an open chasm, a monster and decapitated heads."
This awful vision was the only one of its kind. In the rest of the apparitions, Our Lady, who had dark skin, encouraged the young women to pray, fast, and do penance.
Thirteen years later the world was shocked with the Rwandan genocide.
Why did it happened? After all, obviously Mary had tried to avert it.
It happened for the same reason as with the situation in Yugoslavia/Mejugorje - Talk is cheap and easy; Fasting, Prayer and Sacrifice, although free, is hard and requires devotional discipline.
The bottom line, brethren, is that the Vatican could not care less about what is going on as long as the Faithful have something to entertain themselves with and not pay attention to the less-than-holy activities of the Church Administration like the preparation for the False Second Coming.
Let us now rewind all the way to the year 911 AD and let us see what happens when the Faithful truly obey our Heavenly Mother:
In conclusion: Cardinal or no Cardinal; Benedict or no Benedict; Church Administration or no Church Administration; Apparitions or no Apparitions - either the Faithful quits talking and start praying and fasting in earnest or Divine Mercy will be unattainable for most.
Do you think our words are harsh? Not at all when compared with what God will allow (allow, not cause) upon humanity to wake up the few who need to be awaken.
It was from God at the beginning but when it was turned into just another business to be
exploited using the Holy Names of Mary and Jesus it was no more. That is why we say that we
agree with the local Bishops at the beginning - when it was accepted as being from God - and also
afterwards - when it was denied as a farce.

What was one of the first teachings that Mary imparted at the very beginning? On July 21, 1982, She is reported to have said (and repeated frequently):
"Through fasting and prayer, one can stop wars, one can suspend the laws of nature."
(2)
It was in 1987 - six years after the first Marian manifestation - when the winds of war started to blow in the Federal Republic Of Yugoslavia (3) - where Medjugorje was located. Essentially the Milosevic era started and the rest is history... a bloody war history still being worked out in the World Tribunal at The Hague.
Then we must pose the following: Either Mary lied or the millions upon millions that visited Medjugorje prior to the Milosevic era were no more than religious tourists who took home with them little more than their dirty laundry and a few souvenirs.
Of course Mary did not lie! What She said is true and we know it (not believe it, but know it from much actual practice). Obviously, as we have seen far too many times, once home most the new "converts" were only converted.... to Religious Tourism! Prayer, fasting (if they even tried it!) and sacrifice came to almost a standstill.
The same story with Kibeho, Africa. (4) Mary appeared there in 1981, it was approved in 1982.
One of the visionaries saw: "A river of blood, people who killed one another, abandoned bodies with no one to bury them, a tree on fire, an open chasm, a monster and decapitated heads."
This awful vision was the only one of its kind. In the rest of the apparitions, Our Lady, who had dark skin, encouraged the young women to pray, fast, and do penance.
Thirteen years later the world was shocked with the Rwandan genocide.
It happened for the same reason as with the situation in Yugoslavia/Mejugorje - Talk is cheap and easy; Fasting, Prayer and Sacrifice, although free, is hard and requires devotional discipline.
The bottom line, brethren, is that the Vatican could not care less about what is going on as long as the Faithful have something to entertain themselves with and not pay attention to the less-than-holy activities of the Church Administration like the preparation for the False Second Coming.
Let us now rewind all the way to the year 911 AD and let us see what happens when the Faithful truly obey our Heavenly Mother:
In 911 AD, Constantinople was under military threat and the people were praying for God's help in
the Blachernae Church in the suburb of the city. It was in this church that the omophor or
veil of the Virgin Mary was reserved as a most precious relic.
The church was crowded for an all-night vigil. Andrew, the future Saint known as a
fool-for-Christ, was there, along with his disciple Epiphanius. At about four in the morning,
Andrew and Epiphanius had a vision of the Virgin Mary: She entered through the church doors,
escorted by St. John the Forerunner and St. John the Theologian and preceded by a host of
angels.
She stopped at the ambo (the great stair-cased pulpit in the center of the church) and
knelt there, praying fervently and with tears. She then entered the altar and prayed again and
finally removed Her veil and held it out over the faithful as She ascended from them.
They concluded from Her presence that Her intercession would be the protection to the faithful in
this hour of trial. And so it happened that the feared military menace was averted.
This Miraculous Manifestation and happy consequences are celebrated by the Eastern Catholic Church
on October 1st. (5)
In conclusion: Cardinal or no Cardinal; Benedict or no Benedict; Church Administration or no Church Administration; Apparitions or no Apparitions - either the Faithful quits talking and start praying and fasting in earnest or Divine Mercy will be unattainable for most.
Do you think our words are harsh? Not at all when compared with what God will allow (allow, not cause) upon humanity to wake up the few who need to be awaken.

...the already infamous Blackwater-changed-into-Xe is nothing more than the End of These Times version of the Templar Crusaders and is made up of mercenary soldiers and security personnel at the beck and call of certain elements within the US government? (1)
Erik Prince, the founder and owner of the now infamous US corporation, Blackwater, hails from
Holland, Michigan where his family was both powerful and prominent in two institutions - (a) the
Republican Party and (b) the evangelical Christian Church. After scandals hit his large and
lucrative firm, Prince ordered a curious rebranding that changed its name to Xe.
X is an archaic form of abbreviation for Christ and/or Christian that was derived from the cross and the Greek Alphabet. X or Chi is the Greek letter that is the initial of "Christos" - X - which at the same time served as a symbol for the cross. Sometimes written Chi-Rho, (Xp) is another abbreviation for Christos and his followers, the Christians. From the perspective of medieval Christian symbology, 'Xe' is a combination of the Christic cross and the Greek letter, Epsilon, the first letter in the Greek word, Evangelion, glad tidings or gospel. From the perspective of a modern member of the Knights Templar, Xe is immediately recognizable as it symbolizes Christian Evangelism.
Eric Prince's father owned a thriving automotive parts business and sent his son to Holland Christian School - an evangelical establishment that accepts students from Kindergarten through the 12th grade. Since then, Prince has converted to Roman Catholicism - and may be a member or associate of Opus Dei, a very conservative cult now described as a prelature that is a strong ally of the current pope, Benedict XVI, who - when he was a Cardinal - paved the way for the beatification and canonization of the cult's founder, St. Josemaria Escriva by his predecessor, Pope John Paul II.

As the military rushes to place more spy drones over Afghanistan, the remote-controlled planes are
producing so much video intelligence that analysts are finding it more and more difficult to keep
up.
Air Force drones collected nearly three times as much video over Afghanistan and Iraq last year as in 2007 — about 24 years’ worth if watched continuously.

...when our Lord Jesus Christ walked amongst men He did so as a 100 % human with the exception of being Immaculate?
That is why we read in the Scriptures passages like...
You have heard that I said to you: I go away, and I come unto you. If you loved me, you would
indeed be glad, because I go to the Father: for the Father is greater than
I. [John 14:28]
And Jesus advanced in wisdom, and age, and grace with God and men. [Luke 2:52]
And at the ninth hour, Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying: Eloi, Eloi, lamma sabacthani? Which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? [Mark 15:34]

And at the ninth hour, Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying: Eloi, Eloi, lamma sabacthani? Which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? [Mark 15:34]
....and other similar statements which would indicate that He was not God and which, of course, is
used by the enemies of the Faith to "prove" that He was not God.
He had to be stripped of His Divinity for the Redemption process - He had to live just like
another man except for the stain of the original sin.
The real confusion may come in when we read about the miracles He worked which erroneously we ascribe to His Divine Nature.
To clarify that confusion let us go back to the Holy Scriptures again. Did He not say...?
Obviously another human could perform such miracles if it were in accordance to the Will of God. Remember - every time Jesus performed a miracle, that we heard of in the Scriptures, there was a purpose and that purpose was never to show off that He was the Son of God. Remember the exchange with satan when standing on top of the Temple.
Then you may ask - How can man achieve such feats? Let us see what He said about that....
Now then - could there be anything more important in the world than to approach, as much as possible, the state required to achieve "greater than these" deeds?
And how can we get "from here to there"? He said it: If you love me, keep my commandments. And the First Commandment is placing God First and above all for there is no greater glory for man than to serve God with every breath taken - regardless of his station in life.

Otherwise believe for the very works' sake. Amen, amen I say to you, he that believeth in
me, the works that I do, he also shall do; and greater than these shall he
do. [John 14:12]
In that day you shall know, that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in
you. [John 14:20]
Because I go to the Father: and whatsoever you shall ask the Father in my name, that
will I do: that the Father may be glorified in the Son. [John 14:
13]

5 Then the devil took him up into the holy city, and set him upon the pinnacle of the temple, 6
And said to him: If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down, for it is written: That he hath
given his angels charge over thee, and in their hands shall they bear thee up, lest perhaps thou
dash thy foot against a stone. 7 Jesus said to him: It is written again: Thou shalt not tempt the
Lord thy God. [Matthew 4]
Then you may ask - How can man achieve such feats? Let us see what He said about that....
10 Do you not believe, that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I speak to
you, I speak not of myself. But the Father who abideth in me, he doth the
works.
11 Believe you not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? 12 Otherwise believe for the very works' sake.

...a high profile visit to the controversial Roman Catholic shrine of Medjugorje by Vienna’s Cardinal Christoph Schönborn seems to have deepened the divide between Catholics who fervently believe the Virgin Mary appears to visionaries there and those who believe it to be a hoax? (1)
The visit over the New Year’s holiday provoked a surprisingly undiplomatic public complaint from
the bishop of Mostar, the Bosnian region that includes Medjugorje. It prompted a
little-noticed theological comment from Schönborn that might point to where the debate over
Medjugorje may be going.
Schönborn engaged in a bit of Church one-upmanship by visiting the pilgrimage site without consulting the local bishop, a noted sceptic about claims that the mother of Jesus has been visiting the place almost daily since 1981. While his visit was described as private, his public comments there were so positive as to raise the question whether the Vatican might change its long-standing reservations regarding events there.
The visit prompted a sharp reaction by Mostar Bishop Ratko Peric, a leading sceptic about Medjugorje. He declared himself surprised by the visit and said it could encourage “a growing number of new communities and disobedient associations of the faithful.” In a statement on his diocese’s website, Peric announced:

any recognition of the authenticity of the ‘apparitions’ related to Medjugorje. I regret that
the cardinal, with his visit, appearance and statements, has added new sufferings to those already
present of this local Church which do not contribute to its much needed peace and unity.”

and that....
...John Allen, a biographer of Ratzinger and author of an Opus Dei white wash book wrote:
"Having seen fascism in action, Ratzinger today believes that the best antidote to political
totalitarianism is ecclesial totalitarianism. In other words, he believes the Catholic Church
serves the cause of human freedom by restricting freedom in its internal life, thereby remaining
clear about what it teaches and believes," (1)
This is the same Ratzinger who also defended the Vatican from criticism during the sex scandal in
the US. At the height of the scandal of priestly pedophilia in the United States, he blamed the
uproar on a media conspiracy. "I am personally convinced," he told an interviewer, "that
the constant presence in the press of the sins of Catholic priests, especially in the U.S., is a
planned campaign."
The M+G+R Foundation comments: Are we to presume that the horrendous sex abuse scandal spanning decades in Ireland was also whipped up by the media? We would then also have to presume that, according to Ratzinger, the only antidote for such behavior be: "...ecclesial totalitarianism."
Have these non-believers who present themselves as Divine spokesmen considered that if they really believed in God and loved Him such "...ecclesial totalitarianism." would be unnecessary? Of course not! How can one love the One Whom one does not know?
If they would spend more time studying the methodology in the life and work of John Bosco (2) they may learn what they should have decades ago.

...while the specific request by Mary at Fatima to avoid World War II went ignored, thus unheeded, Pope Pius XI was concerned about world finances and unemployment?
In his October 2, 1931, Encyclical Nova Impendet - ON THE ECONOMIC CRISIS (1) he fretted about the consequences of the world depression while the world raced toward the martyrdom of over 50 million people.
Placing that date within the Fatima context... (2)
On June 13, 1929:
The Virgin Mary appeared to Lucia at her convent in Tuy, Spain, regarding the Consecration of
Russia:
"The moment has come in which God asks the Holy Father, in union with all the Bishops of the
world, to make the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart, promising to save it by this
means. There are so many souls whom the Justice of God condemns for sins committed against me,
that I have come to ask reparation: sacrifice yourself for this intention and pray."
[Original Text, in English and Portuguese, may be seen as Item C in ATTACHMENT II
]
'Later' The Virgin Mary complained to Lucia regarding the
consecration:
"They did not wish to heed my request. Like the King of France, they will repent and do
it, but it will be late. Russia will have already spread her errors throughout the world,
provoking wars, and persecutions of the Church; the Holy Father will have much to
suffer." [Original Text, in English and
Portuguese, may be seen as Item D in ATTACHMENT II ]
The definition of "later" is established through a letter from Lucia to Pe. Gonçalves dated January 21, 1935, wherein she states: "Three years ago Our Lord was very unhappy because His request (about the Consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary) was not fulfilled. I made that known to the Bishop in a letter."
"Three years ago" would place the date signified by "later" in the year 1931. We have not been able to find a copy of the referenced to letter Lucia wrote to the Bishop, however, other sources have placed the exact date at August 1931. Although we cannot vouch for the other sources, the date that they claim such letter was written to the Bishop is coherent with all else; therefore, we will accept it as valid.

By the end of 1929:
The Pastoral Letter that was published by Bishop D. José Alves Correia Da Silva solemnly declared
that the Apparitions of Our Lady of Fátima from May 13 to October 13, 1917, were worthy of
belief. In this letter, the Bishop fully approved the cult of Our Lady of Fátima.
The M+G+R Foundation comments: We wonder what is the difference between Herod's order to slay the children under two years of age and the order-by-default to allow World War II by defying the specific instructions through Fatima by of Those Pius XI claimed to serve/represent. The difference seems to be about fifty million deaths.
Tragically it is Pius XII who gets all of the blame for the death of the Jews in World War II when the whole situation seems to have been allowed by his predecessor Pius XI. The poor man did what he could - a late (not through his fault) and incomplete Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary on October 31, 1942. (3)

With the governing Socialists and other left-wing parties enjoying a strong majority, the new law
is likely to sail through the first reading debate and gain final approval before a visit by Pope
Benedict XVI, due in Portugal in May.
In contrast to Spain, where the lead-up to the legalisation of gay marriage in 2005 brought hundreds of thousands of demonstrators onto the streets, the bill in Portugal has provoked only muted opposition even from the right.
While normally vocal on the role of marriage and the family in society, the Catholic Church has refused to mobilise on a subject which, according to Lisbon's Cardinal Patriarch Jose Policarpo, is "parliament's responsibility".

...it seems that God continues to issue symbolic warnings of what is to come through a multitude of channels - including Dan Brown?
We are told that at the end of Angels and Demons movie there are some striking scenes that seem to be like a preview of the manifestation of the False Christ. A brief summary of what that part of the movie entails follows:
Just after the death of a future Pope, four cardinals who are leading Papal candidates were
kidnaped and threatened with execution that night. At the same time, the terrorists , representing
the pro-science "Illuminati," threaten to blow up the Vatican with an anti-matter bomb, as
devastating as a small A-bomb.
The Camerlengo proves to be the villain of the piece. He is a right-wing opponent of
scientific "blasphemy" (like the search for the "God particle" and like the hadron collider), and
wants to convince the Cardinals that the Church is at war and needs to fight back. So, he fakes-up
the "illuminati," and arranges for the kidnappings and the bomb threat. At the last possible
moment, after the 4 papabile kidnapped Cardinals are killed and just before the anti-matter
bomb is set to go off. the Camerlengo heroically takes the bomb up with him in a papal
helicopter, parachutes out just in time, and the bomb detonates high over Rome, doing little
damage on the ground but creating a spectacular light show in the sky and strong wind on the
ground. Out of the sky parachutes the Camerlengo, and the Cardinals in conclave are on the verge
of electing him by "adoration," a verbal, unanimous acclamation.
In the nick of time, investigators discover proof that the Camerlengo murdered the former
Pope, and arranged for the murders of the 4 Cardinals ... so that he could be selected as the
"heroic" savior of the Church. The investigators take their findings to the Conclave, and the
authorities close in on the Camerlengo and prepare to arrest him. The Camerlengo goes into St.
Peters, goes to the area of St. Peter's tomb, and burns himself to death with holy oil and a flame
from one of the candles near the altar.
Comments: So the film contains the image of a light show over Rome; a false "savior" descending from the sky and on the verge of taking the Papacy by deceit; his exposure; and finally his fiery doom.

....an alleged Biblical "Scholar" claims that the real date for the end of the world is on May 21, 2011? (1)
Harold Camping lets out a hearty chuckle when he considers the people who believe the world will
end in 2012.
"That date has not one stitch of biblical authority," Camping says from the Oakland office where he runs Family Radio, an evangelical station that reaches listeners around the world. "It's like a fairy tale."
The real date for the end of times, he says, is in 2011.
The Mayans and the recent Hollywood movie "2012" have put the apocalypse in the popular mind this year, but Camping has been at this business for a long time. And while Armageddon is pop science or big-screen entertainment to many, Camping has followers from the Bay Area to China.
Camping, 88, has scrutinized the Bible for almost 70 years and says he has developed a mathematical system to interpret prophecies hidden within the Good Book. One night a few years ago, Camping, a civil engineer by trade, crunched the numbers and was stunned at what he'd found: The world will end May 21, 2011.
This is not the first time Camping has made a bold prediction about Judgment Day.
On Sept. 6, 1994, dozens of Camping's believers gathered inside Alameda's Veterans Memorial Building to await the return of Christ, an event Camping had promised for two years. Followers dressed children in their Sunday best and held Bibles open-faced toward heaven.
"That date has not one stitch of biblical authority," Camping says from the Oakland office where he runs Family Radio, an evangelical station that reaches listeners around the world. "It's like a fairy tale."
The real date for the end of times, he says, is in 2011.
The Mayans and the recent Hollywood movie "2012" have put the apocalypse in the popular mind this year, but Camping has been at this business for a long time. And while Armageddon is pop science or big-screen entertainment to many, Camping has followers from the Bay Area to China.
Camping, 88, has scrutinized the Bible for almost 70 years and says he has developed a mathematical system to interpret prophecies hidden within the Good Book. One night a few years ago, Camping, a civil engineer by trade, crunched the numbers and was stunned at what he'd found: The world will end May 21, 2011.
This is not the first time Camping has made a bold prediction about Judgment Day.
On Sept. 6, 1994, dozens of Camping's believers gathered inside Alameda's Veterans Memorial Building to await the return of Christ, an event Camping had promised for two years. Followers dressed children in their Sunday best and held Bibles open-faced toward heaven.
The M+G+R Foundation comments: What is amazing is: (a) His basic understanding of the Scriptures in sophomoric (after 70 years of scrutiny!); and (b) That there are enough people out there to fall for the same story twice. The only consolation is that for those of the world's population that will be lost, logically, there must be ways available for that to happen in Time.

...researchers at the Johns Hopkins University are seeking volunteers who have an active interest in exploring and developing their spiritual lives to participate in a scientific study of the combined effects of meditation, spiritual practice, and the entheogen psilocybin? (1)
[our highlighting]
In recent years, scientists at some U.S. universities have been conducting studies using
entheogens, resuming research in pharmacology, psychology, creativity, and spirituality that was
suspended following the drug excesses of the 1960s.
Entheogens (roughly meaning God-evoking substances) include the peyote cactus used by the Native American Church, the psilocybin-containing mushrooms used as sacraments in Mesoamerica, and certain other plants and chemicals. Such substances have been used for thousands of years in cultures from the Amazon to ancient Greece as a means of inducing non-ordinary states of consciousness for spiritual or religious purposes. (2)
These states of consciousness are most widely known in connection with practices such as meditation and prolonged fasting. Scientists have found, however, that the entheogens sometimes bring about states that are indistinguishable from the mystical and visionary states reflected in the sacred texts and poetry of the world's religions.
The study will take place over 6 to 8 months during which volunteers will be encouraged to initiate or maintain daily meditation and spiritual awareness practices. Volunteers will also receive careful preparation and 2 or 3 sessions in which they will receive psilocybin in a comfortable, supportive setting. Structured guidance will be provided during the session and afterwards to facilitate integration of the experiences. The study complies with FDA regulations.

The M+G+R Foundation comments: We truly believe that most individuals in the First World countries and quite a sprinkling amongst our readers do not grasp how far gone we already are and that the Divine allowed cataclysmic machinery has been set in motion and it is unstoppable now. Most humans should now be more concerned about drawing closer to God and, symbolically, what style of loin cloth they will be wearing - if any - than about anything else.
You see, these people were also warned but few believed.... and there were not even loin cloths for many of them.... and they are no more....

....there was a very real - yet veiled - reason why Jesus said: "Have you any thing to eat?" when He appeared to the Apostles and other disciples after His (apparent) walk towards Emaus?
In Luke 24 we read:
[our highlights]
39 See my hands and feet, that it is I myself; handle, and see: for a spirit hath not
flesh and bones, as you see me to have. 40 And when he had said this, he shewed them
his hands and feet. 41 But while they yet believed not, and wondered for joy, he said:
Have you any thing to eat? 42 And they offered him a piece of a broiled fish, and a honeycomb. 43
And when he had eaten before them, taking the remains, he gave to them. 44 And he said
to them: These are the words which I spoke to you, while I was yet with you, that all things must
needs be fulfilled, which are written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms,
concerning me. 45 Then he opened their understanding, that they might understand the
scriptures.
The reason was revealed as part of a dream John Bosco (1) had. We are not sure that our dear John Bosco realized the connection since we have not read anything yet that would indicate it.
On December 6, 1876, John Bosco had an elaborate dream which included other Salesians priests which had already crossed the veil as well as some of the boys - including Dominic Savio (2) - a very saintly boy who now was more radiant than all others in the dream. In the dream Don Bosco engaged in conversation with Dominic and one of the topics was their bodily appearances. Dominic said (3):
[our highlights]
"You see, when the soul is separated from the body and with God's permission is allowed to be seen
by someone else, it preserves its external form and appearance, with all the features of the body
itself, as when it lived on earth, and so, although greatly embellished, preserves it until it
is reunited with it on the day of universal judgment. Then it will have it with it in
paradise. So now it seems to you that I have hands, feet, head, but you could not hold me, for
I am pure spirit. It is this external form that lets you know me."
Jesus, at the time of the quoted request had already been resurrected - as all the Elect will be after the Final Judgment - therefore, His body was as it was before His death - flesh and bones, thus He could certainly eat. That was the revelation that He was making when asked "Have you any thing to eat?"

....Europe, the most secularized region on Earth, has decided to launch a regular dialogue with the organized religions that many on the continent once thought would wither away? (1)
[our highlights]
The M+G+R Foundation Comments: Not really. The Lisbon Treaty is the de facto European Union Constitution which could not be passed as Constitution, therefore, it was repackaged as a Treaty. Then, to have the Treaty approved they had to pander to whomever they had to and add words, clauses, articles to suit "every Tom, Dick and Harry" - from agreeing to these concessions to impacting the navigation of the European Ship of State there is a very, very long way.
Of course - such article does open the doors to officially accept the URI sponsored religion (2) for the New World Order- which is not exactly what the Irish, Poles and Checks had in mind
and that....
In a little-noticed article of its Lisbon Treaty, which went into effect on December 1, the
European Union agreed to hold an "open, transparent and regular dialogue" with churches, religious
associations and secular groups.
What this dialogue will look like is not yet clear, but the fact the European Union has agreed to it reflects the evolving role of religion in a region where it is often overlooked.

....the Basque Separatist terrorist group in Spain - ETA - has completed 50 years of disruption,
bombings and assassinations in Spain and the Spanish State has not been able to stop them, even
though they only operate within the territorial confines of Spain and France?
Now, consider the following..... The members of ETA do not function as suicide terrorists. Their activities are designed so that they do not get hurt. Now then, when facing a worldwide patchwork of terrorist groups whose members consider an honor to die as they inflict harm upon their enemies.... anyone who thinks that they will be brought to heed using the tactics that the much talked about International Community (IC) is using, is completely out of touch with reality.
If to that equation one adds the fact that to impose the New World Order upon the world population, the first step is, as we published as early as1993:

The whole world, country by country is brought into great turmoil. Propitiated by political,
financial, ethnic or religious confrontations or whatever is the best means in each country to
achieve the desired purpose: Generalized chaos. In Summary: "Bring the world up to its boiling
point". [Does this "ring a bell"?] (1)
Therefore, brethren, the end of the so much talked about "War on terrorism" is nowhere in
sight..... and it will only end when God finally steps in and renews the Creation.... one
last time (2).
Therefore - all else the IC does regarding this issue, outside of prayer and sacrifice, is just a
complete waste of time.
