PURPOSE
The purpose of this News Commentary Section is to assist the faithful in recognizing the signs and lies of These End Times. Somehow, many self appointed Shepherds of These Times are trying to convince the faithful that the Apocalypse will be, using street slang, "a piece of cake" for them and "hell" for all others. They are led to believe that if they "do this" and "do that" they do not have a thing to worry about (of course, so long as that between the "do this" and the "do that" they send in a donation).
Others lead the faithful to believe that "All Is Well" and will continue to be, of course, as long as those donations keep coming in...
Wrong! For either case scenario to be true, the Old and New Testament has to be invalid. Logically, if the Holy Scriptures are invalid there is no use for "Shepherds", is there? So what is their function besides collecting money?
Spending it, of course!
Now, let us focus on the real world and the news about its crumbling structures, philosophies and half-baked theories. With the assistance of the Holy Spirit of God, Who cannot be falsified, the disoriented faithful will be able to understand what is truly taking place and why.

Providentially - for there is no other possible reason - we have come across this riveting and revolting news story. What makes it more impacting is that it was Posted by CNN at 5:21 AM EDT on September 11, 2001.
For the full original story stored from CNN Click Here. Brethren, this was sheer Divine Providence and we beg of you careful attention to its Apocalyptic implications. As we have stated before, we do not write the music for this Square Dance, we just call the steps....

News (appearing in all media): H.H. John Paul II is hospitalized again
The M+G+R Foundation Comments
We realize that the "Prophecy Rumor Mill" is warming up its engines, so that, when H.H. John Paul II expires, every possible and conceivable interpretation/justification be given to the prophetic events which involved him and appeared left undone.
To "apply the brakes" on another pious "commercial opportunity" we recommend that the true children of God review a recently published document addressing the apparent failed prophecies. There is a second document - which is linked from this document - which addresses why Heaven has had to make some adjustments.
If perhaps H.H. John Paul II had heeded the call from Heaven to submit his resignation to God and save himself to publicly participate on the events to come, his health would not have suffered so much. Such is life - God gave man a free will and look at what Eve did while not even being tainted by the original sin.

NEWS - Messianic Parallels: The Lubavitcher Jews and the Neocatechumenals
L' Espresso on-Line - Published: February 22, 2005
Selected quotes (highlights and footnote by The M+G+R Foundation):
"Messianism has come back powerfully to the fore in the Jewish religion. And the same thing has
happened in Christianity, especially in the "evangelical" and Pentecostal sectors that are
expanding strongly throughout the world. The latter phenomena are, for the most part, extraneous
to Catholicism, but even the Roman Church is marked by them.
One element that characterizes these new currents of Christianity is precisely friendship with Israel, contrary to the tendency of the historical Protestant Churches, which have generally been hostile. During the blackest period of the last intifada, when visits to the Holy Land decreased to almost nothing, the "evangelical" Churches never stopped bringing their pilgrims there. And the same was true, in the Catholic Church, of the communities of the Neocatechumenal Way, which is certainly the most pro-Israeli of all the Catholic renewal movements of the last half century.
The rediscovery of messianism brings a meeting of the minds between the Neocatechumenals and one current of Orthodox Judaism in particular: the Lubavitchers.
Last January 22, an entire page in the Italian newspaper "il Foglio" was dedicated to a learned and enthusiastic presentation of the messianism of the Lubavitchers. The author of the essay was Giuseppe Gennarini, one of the founders of the
Neocatechumenal Way in Italy."

and
"The Lubavitchers constitute a revealing and dynamic portion of Hasidic religious Judaism. They
are active in many countries, with more than 2,600 institutes. About 3,600 families have gone on
mission. In Italy, they are present in Milan and Venice, and control the most important kosher
abattoir in Rome. 150 rabbis from all over the world have signed a recognition of "rebbe"
Schneerson's messianic identity."
and
"In the Catholic world, the commentary of Giuseppe Gennarini is very similar to the preceding one.
This is the conclusion of his
note on the Lubavitchers:
"This debate sheds new light on the relations between Christianity and Judaism, demonstrating that many aspects of Jesus and of Christianity which according to some were the fruit of Hellenizing contaminations, or in any case of contaminations extraneous to the Jewish tradition, are instead profoundly rooted in the tradition of Israel. But above all, in an age of 'feeble thought' and in a world that sees the supreme ideal in conformity or assimilation, the Lubavitchers are living witnesses that faith in the Messiah - “already come or still to come" - is the center of the Judaeo-Christian faith."

The M+G+R Foundation Comments
This is a perfect example of fanatics helping fanatics to help God. The satanic roots of this disorded behavior can be fully understood if past Biblical Events would be rewritten, thus:
(1) Moses went on looking for a suitable bush, set it on fire and then said: "Speak to me,
God!" [Exodus 3]; or
(2) Abraham preparing a dinner party for three and then start looking in the area roads and by-ways for the three visitors that
were supposed to come to eat. [Genesis 18] ; or
(3) Joseph campaigning with Caesar so that he would order a census in the hopes that he, accompanied by the pregnant mother of the Messiah, would have to travel to register in Bethlehem and the Messiah would be born in Bethlem as prophecied. [Luke 2]

If the above sound ludicrous - the efforts of fanatics to force the Hand of God by "setting the stage" for the coming of the Messiah is truly stupid given the level of historical and Biblical information available to mankind today.
But then again, Hitler was not really the problem that lead the world to WW II - the problem were the masses who believed him and blindly obeyed him. By himself he would have been essentially innocuous.
Every day that goes by m de P better understands God's logic behind the past destruction of most of the world by water and the upcoming destruction by fire.

Note: Yesterday we providentially came across the following news report that we had shared with a large number of members of the clergy worldwide back in 1994
NEWS - "The Pope is not well psychologically" - One of John Paul II's
physicians concerned about his "mental state" / "mood".
El Mundo - Published: October 7, 1994
Translated by The M+G+R Foundation
Following are excerpts from an interview with Dr. Corrado Manni back in 1994. Dr. Manni is a Professor and Chairman of the Institute of Anesthesia and Intensive Care in the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Rome and still is John Paul II's chief anestheologist as of the year 2005. Underscoring done by The M+G+R Foundation for later commentary.
One of John Paul II's physicians, Corrado Manni, has made publicly known his concern about the
"mental state" / "mood" of the Pontiff, but he denied that he suffers form Parkinson or
cancer.
Manni, director of anesthesia and Intensive Care of the Roman clinic Agostino Gemelli, stated during an interview with the weekly magazine The European that he does not consider that John Paul II should retire, but that he should reduce his activities.
In its opinion, the attempt to murder the Pope in 1981, when they shot him in the Piazza de San Pedro, had a deep effect in Karol Wojtyla, now 74 years old. "If you are a man who loves peace and see that someone wishes to kill you, the effect of such attempt reaches very deep in the mind, although it is not perceived immediately", said the doctor to the weekly magazine, which entitles the article "The suffering of the Pope, by his doctor".
"He is neither crazy nor senile, but, in my opinion, he is not well psychologically. I would not suggest for him to retire. In my opinion, the Pope would have to work a little less" he added.

FULL TEXT of News Report
As the reader may see - since 1994 there seem to have been major psychosomatic problems with John Paul II Pontificate as the result of the attempt against his life in 1981. This is not related by a tabloid publication by a nameless reporter, this was done by one of his key physicians who still is in charge of him; that is, obviously what he said could not be contested by the Powers of the Vatican. Otherwise, he would not have come close to John Paul again - much less, take care of him professionally.
Also notice Dr. Manni's denial that H.H. John Paul II had Parkinson and/or cancer. The acknowledgment of either illness would have been of lesser import and impact than what he diagnosed: "He is neither crazy nor senile, but, in my opinion, he is not well psychologically."
One can ably lead being afflicted with either Parkinson or cancer but, not being well psychologically is a different situation completely.
We shall leave the remaining commentaries and conclusions to be drawn individually by each individual reader.
We recommend reviewing two key documents that we have published in the past regarding H.H. John Paul II and his Papacy.

NEWS - Brazil's Marxist president in fight against child prostitution
SF Gate - Published: February 5, 2005
Selected quotes (highlights and footnote by The M+G+R Foundation):
"Rio de Janeiro -- Fun seekers descending on Rio for perhaps the most carefree, gloves- off
celebration in the world are being greeted with a sobering message this year: Illegal sex can get
you 10 years in prison.
Seeking to crack down on an epidemic of child prostitution, the Brazilian government is targeting Carnival, the annual pre-Lenten festival during which the illicit trade reaches its zenith. The celebration begins today.
Across the country, local officials and workers with UNICEF are putting up posters and handing out flyers at airports and popular Carnival locales warning adult tourists that they could spend four to 10 years in prison if they have sex with anyone younger than 18.
After Thailand, Brazil has the second-largest number of underage prostitutes in the world, about 500,000, according to UNICEF. President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva pledged to make fighting sexual exploitation of children one of his top priorities after taking office in 2003, addressing the issue in his first Cabinet meeting."

The M+G+R Foundation Comments
The following Comments are from a guest commentarist - however, we fully endorse his comments.
1. Can you imagine any Pope making a crackdown on priestly abuse and the cover-up a part of
his first meeting with the Cardinals and the Curia?
2. The Brazilians have a clear law, backed up by jail terms: it's worth 10 years in jail to "do it" with teens. Their age of consent is 18 - and it is only recently that the Vatican canonists raised the age in canon law from 16 to 18.
3. The Brazilians are not making fine distinctions between pedophilia and ephebophilia ... they are cracking down on all of it.
4. This drive is being led by Lula, a Leftist (who is reputed among conservative Catholics to be a Marxist ... and maybe he is. Indeed, he might ally with Castro and Chavez against us when the Third World War begins.)

To the above comments we add:
1. Remember - It is not our objective to harm the Catholic Faith in any way. On the
contrary, it is one of our objectives to protect the little Faith left from being splattered by
the ingrown decadence of the Church Administrators, which
seems to increase day after day; in addition, we must keep reminding one and all that when God
plows-under the Church as-is, it is not that He abandoned His Church. He will do it
so that it may rise again Glorious as it was intended it to
be.
2. In case that the reader has forgotten the damage done by enticing and subjecting minors to sexual activities, we suggest that you review two professional documents about Sexual Abuse of Children: - Its Psychosomatic Consequences and Risky Sex May Stem From Early Abuse

As if all of this were not enough, "Catholic hero now faces Vatican inquiry - Mexican founder of Legionnaires of Christ at centre of child abuse allegations". The worse part is that Father Marcial Maciel's secrets have not been secrets for decades and still John Paul II has made him his protégé. Thanks be to God that someone within the Vatican walls has crushed through the Papal protection of Marcial Maciel and will proceed with the investigation they should have done years ago.
This is another example of how whatever little is left of the pristine Catholic Faith is being tacitly demolished from the very Chair of Peter.

NEWS - Church calls halt to popes for life
The Australian - Published: February 4, 2005
Selected quotes (highlights and footnote by The M+G+R Foundation):
Future popes will have to retire at a fixed age, under secret plans being discussed by Catholic
cardinals, ending a tradition of service until death that has lasted 2000 years. According to
senior church sources, cardinals have discussed among themselves the need to choose a future
pontiff who is open to a retirement age, probably 80.
They do not want a repeat of the past few years, when the ill-health of Pope John Paul II, now 84, has forced him to take an increasingly light role in directing the church, responsible for the spiritual welfare of 1.1 billion believers.
The church has in effect been run by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, the ultra-conservative head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. But Cardinal Ratzinger, whose nickname is John Paul III, is considered too old, at 77, to succeed him. Also at the heart of every decision is Joaquin Navarro-Valls, the celibate Opus Dei member (*) and qualified doctor (**) who is the Pope's media officer and most trusted adviser.

The M+G+R Foundation Comments
Do we really have to? We wonder if the Cardinals in charge have informed the Holy Spirit of God who must be selected as the next one - as they all claim Popes are selected....
