From The M+G+R Foundation @ EU and US

Providentially, we have run into a chapter of the Book of Jeremiah which we have not read before.

As you read the chapter below, simply ignore the names of most kings and secondary towns and cities, even though they have their very definite counterparts today. Focus on the reality of Babylon and how all of it ties in perfectly with the Sequence of Events (1) we originally published in 1992.

You will reach a part in the following admonishments that most likely will bring to mind the imagery of the introduction of the final message from Garabandal (2):


Certain elements contained in the chapter quoted below may be found in various prophetic texts within the Old and New Testaments; however, this one contains and confirms, in one single Biblical Book, all the truth which God has revealed to miguel de Portugal.

Portions which are underscored trumpet that the time for the universal fulfillment of the message is "today", and not the time when Jeremiah delivered it, somewhere between 627-582 BC.

May those who have eyes, See and ears, Hear!




1 The word came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, which was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. 2 So Jeremiah the prophet said to all the people of Judah and to all those living in Jerusalem: 3 For twenty-three years—from the thirteenth year of Josiah son of Amon king of Judah until this very day—the word of the LORD has come to me and I have spoken to you again and again, but you have not listened.

4 And though the LORD has sent all his servants the prophets to you again and again, you have not listened or paid any attention. 5 They said, "Turn now, each of you, from your evil ways and your evil practices, and you can stay in the land the LORD gave to you and your fathers for ever and ever. 6 Do not follow other gods to serve and worship them; do not provoke me to anger with what your hands have made. Then I will not harm you."

7 "But you did not listen to me", declares the LORD, "and you have provoked me with what your hands have made, and you have brought harm to yourselves."

8 Therefore the LORD Almighty says this: "Because you have not listened to my words, 9 I will summon all the peoples of the north and my servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon", declares the LORD, "and I will bring them against this land and its inhabitants and against all the surrounding nations. I will completely destroy them and make them an object of horror and scorn, and an everlasting ruin. 10 I will banish from them the sounds of joy and gladness, the voices of bride and bridegroom, the sound of millstones and the light of the lamp. 11 This whole country will become a desolate wasteland, and these nations will serve the king of Babylon seventy years.

12 "But when the seventy years are fulfilled, I will punish the king of Babylon and his nation, the land of the Babylonians [or Chaldeans], for their guilt", declares the LORD, "and will make it desolate forever. 13 I will bring upon that land all the things I have spoken against it, all that are written in this book and prophesied by Jeremiah against all the nations. 14 They themselves will be enslaved by many nations and great kings; I will repay them according to their deeds and the work of their hands."

The Cup of God's Wrath

15 This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, said to me: "Take from my hand this cup filled with the wine of my wrath and make all the nations to whom I send you drink it. 16 When they drink it, they will stagger and go mad because of the sword I will send among them."

17 So I took the cup from the LORD's hand and made all the nations to whom he sent me drink it: 18 Jerusalem and the towns of Judah, its kings and officials, to make them a ruin and an object of horror and scorn and cursing, as they are today; 19 Pharaoh king of Egypt, his attendants, his officials and all his people, 20 and all the foreign people there; all the kings of Uz; all the kings of the Philistines (those of Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and the people left at Ashdod 21 Edom, Moab and Ammon; 22 all the kings of Tyre and Sidon; the kings of the coastlands across the sea; 23 Dedan, Tema, Buz and all who are in distant places [c] ; 24 all the kings of Arabia and all the kings of the foreign people who live in the desert; 25 all the kings of Zimri, Elam and Media; 26 and all the kings of the north, near and far, one after the other—all the kingdoms on the face of the earth. And after all of them, the king of Sheshach [ Sheshach is a cryptogram for Babylon] will drink it too.

27 "Then tell them, 'This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Drink, get drunk and vomit, and fall to rise no more because of the sword I will send among you.' 28 But if they refuse to take the cup from your hand and drink, tell them, 'This is what the LORD Almighty says: You must drink it! 29 See, I am beginning to bring disaster on the city that bears my Name, and will you indeed go unpunished? You will not go unpunished, for I am calling down a sword upon all who live on the earth, declares the LORD Almighty.'

30 "Now prophesy all these words against them and say to them:

"The LORD will roar from on high; he will thunder from his holy dwelling and roar mightily against his land. He will shout like those who tread the grapes, shout against all who live on the earth.

31 The tumult will resound to the ends of the earth, for the LORD will bring charges against the nations; he will bring judgment on all mankind and put the wicked to the sword,' " declares the LORD.

32 This is what the LORD Almighty says: "Look! Disaster is spreading from nation to nation; a mighty storm is rising from the ends of the earth."

33 At that time those slain by the LORD will be everywhere—from one end of the earth to the other. They will not be mourned or gathered up or buried, but will be like refuse lying on the ground.

34 Weep and wail, you shepherds; roll in the dust, you leaders of the flock. For your time to be slaughtered has come; you will fall and be shattered like fine pottery.

35 The shepherds will have nowhere to flee, the leaders of the flock no place to escape.

36 Hear the cry of the shepherds, the wailing of the leaders of the flock, for the LORD is destroying their pasture.

37 The peaceful meadows will be laid waste because of the fierce anger of the LORD. 38 Like a lion he will leave his lair, and their land will become desolate because of the sword of the oppressor and because of the LORD's fierce anger.

From (Mr.) IW @ US

A perusal of general information about Wikileaks.org leaves a very murky impression. One phrase in particular got my attention:


The tale of its founder is equally curious. (2)

On its own website (3) it posits the following very interesting rhetoric:

"Is WikiLeaks a CIA front?


Now is the real world, we know that spy organizations both gather AND disseminate information. The latter is usually termed propaganda. The intentional use of it is key to psychological warfare. Either as information or disinformation. Used to confuse, disorient, or destabilize an enemy (person, group, or nation). To create a phantom enemy, or distract from a real danger by creating a fake.

The cheapest way is to use the truth as a weapon, exposing verifiable secrets. Even cheaper when you can get hackers to provide it for you - for free!

This is called: Psychological Warfare (4).

If you use the search engine on Wikileaks.org, and enter "Opus Dei", you will get NO results. 'Sex abuse' yields NO Church related results. "Ratzinger" yields 3 results of no consequence. "Vatican" yields 17 results, all of no consequence.

So much for "improved transparency in institutions'!

Do you ever wonder... why God frequently would tell a key individual in the Old Testament that the punishment for his/her misdeeds would be manifested throughout his entire household, or at the time of the reign of the transgressor's descendant, or for "x" number of generations?

Well... we wondered too until two days ago when He clarified this to m de P during the Divine Liturgy.

As we have mentioned - God does not punish us; we do it ourselves. Remember - if one jumps off the tenth floor of a building, the law of gravity will see that the individual most likely will die upon impact. The law of gravity did not punish the individual... The individual killed himself by defying the law of gravity.

When man defies Divine Law negative consequences (called: "punishment") will follow. How severe, upon whom and for how long depend on the specific individual, position, laws transgressed and circumstances. Therefore, when God made such announcements He was only telling the transgressor what the future held for him/her as the result of the violation in question.

Allow us to remind you of another factor which will influence the consequences of a transgression:



Did you know that... Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad expects the United States to launch a military strike on "at least two countries" in the Middle East within the next three months? (1a)


and that...

... Russia joined Iran in condemning new sanctions the European Union imposed Monday to curtail Tehran's nuclear ambitions. (1b)

The M+G+R Foundation comments: As you should know, we oppose war under any circumstance. There is no just war... if such a Vatican creation would exist, Jesus would have led a revolt against the Romans which would have brought the Roman Empire crashing down.

However, let us talk as a military strategist would... The pathetic "shock and awe" technique of Rumsfeld failed in Iraq because a military strategist must take into account the cultural and sociological make up of the alleged enemy. This is far more important than their technological development. Remember how North Vietnam sent us running home with the proverbial tail between our legs?

The only "shock and awe" that will indeed shock and awe the population of any genetically strong willed country into absolute submission is the one that President Truman used in Japan. Unfortunately for man - and quite fortunately for satan - that strategy has not changed; the difference from then to now is that:


In conclusion: If the coalition forces do not really shock and awe those who need to be shocked and awed, the Vietnam effect (3) will be repeated on a global scale... but if they do... Step No. 1 (4) will be manifested.

We neither write the music nor pick the dancing partners... God calls the "dance figures" (5) and we only transmit the "calls" in His Name. We strongly recommend that our NSA "Guardian Angels" should pay close attention to what we are explaining, in detail, for all to understand.

From (Mrs.) IW @ US

I have come to the conclusion that most people in the US are not Christian. Their idea of Christian has nothing to do with what is in the Bible.

One example was on the local news tonight (July 25th). They interviewed a Baptist youth group that went down to Corpus Christi to help out the poor.

Wonderful!... then,... they started talking:


What????? Smell like us? GRRRRRRR!

Sorry; I had to vent.

(Mrs.) IW


A. Why did it take you so long to realize that? (1) That is what we have been "trumpeting" since launching these Domains twelve years ago.

However, let us not just pounce on the US Christians.

If you take the Roman and Greek pagans, change the references to "their gods" to "their saints" you will quickly realize that they functioned just like most European Catholics do today, and have for centuries... at the expense of the Real Presence tucked away in some corner in a human centered temple. (2)

That is the idolatry that the allegedly "evil" Second Vatican Council (3) tried to discourage when great restrictions were imposed in the number of statues of saints that were to be displayed in new and remodeled churches. That is the same idolatry they also tried to stamp out by downgrading the very human Bishop of Rome (4) from a god-like status that would have been the envy of the Egyptian Pharaohs. Despite the teachings of this holy Council, Benedict XVI has returned to the ermine trimmed stoles and hats plus the shiny red patent leather slippers... while at the same time taking the Body of Christ away from his official "Shepherd's Staff".

The one who claims to be the vicar of Christ on Earth, parading himself without the very symbol of our Redemption - The Crucifix. What next? (5)

Imagine the healing the Israelites would have achieved if Moses would have just erected a pole without a snake for them to look at it when they were sick. Let us not forget that the true symbolism of venerating a crucifix has its roots in the Book of Numbers, chapter 21 - one of the readings of the Mass for September 14th - the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross :


May those who have eyes, See! and ears, Hear!

Now it was our turn to vent, not steam but symbolic fire and brimstone in preparation for the real fireworks.

Through the Grace of God we have been able to prepare the documentation promised in our July 25th posting (see below). This documentation can reinforce the Faith of those who have eyes to see and ears to hear (even if they still are half closed), as proof of the awesome power of prayer.

May this display of Divine Providence bring the reader as much joy as it did to me.


We categorically denounce... the posting online Sunday of 90,000 leaked U.S. military records. (1)



The M+G+R Foundation comments: Even if we were 100 % against the US policies in Middle East, we would still be outraged by this security leak. If Mr. WikiLeak was trying to "snuff a fire" he should not have used high octane gasoline to do it with.

One can take each one of those documents out of context (time, language and cultural) and only God knows what it could be made to say.

The M+G+R Foundation comments: Perhaps they should be taken seriously now since, as we have stated before, the probability that North Korea really did sink the South Korean corvette is slim to none. That being the case, North Korea will have no doubt whatsoever that its enemies are "hell-bent" upon - and will do anything - to bring down its government or simply occupy it outright... in which case, the North Korean government would rather go in an unforgettable blaze of fire.

From RB @ Spain

In one of your documents about comets (1) I noticed that you indicated Noah's Flood taking place 4,350 years ago while in the Creation Time Line document (2) you speak of a time somewhere between 10,500 and 9,500 BC.

Would you please explain this apparent discrepancy?

Thank you!

RB

A. Thank you! for the opportunity to address this apparent discrepancy.

As we pointed out in one of the fundamental documents leading to the Creation Time Line document, historically speaking, theo-historians have a good handle on chronology from Abraham on forward. However, before Abraham any dating would be pure speculation based on traditions which were recorded, in many cases, millennia after the events (which inspired the traditions) took place.

However, the speculative pre-Abraham timeline/chronology based upon a literal reading of the first part of Genesis is not to be discarded when God tries to communicate with humanity in general. He communicates with His children in the terms that we can understand - thus the frequent mistake of thinking of a wrathful God in the Old Testament and a gentle God in the New Testament. Before Jesus, man could not understand that the misery which repeatedly fell upon humanity was man-made; i.e. caused by man's violation of laws of the spiritual domain clearly given by God.

To the man of that time a tit-for-tat interaction with God was more comprehensible: God gives you a law; man violates the law; God "slaps man silly"; man makes amends with God.

Using the traditionally accepted chronology we can communicate to the Faithful what we did in the document "Will a Comet Hit the Earth?" (1), for example.

Also, the promise "...and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years." [Rev. 20:4] will be coherent with the concept of working six days and one day of rest [Sabbath] when we use the traditionally accepted chronology.

According to Ussher, Creation took place 6,014 years ago. Considering that we are about to start living the period (3) - they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years - then we have 6,000 or so years of work and 1,000 or so years of rest until the end of the world - for a total of approximately 7,000 years.

For more on the announced end time for the world - 2832 AD - we suggest the review of two other documents we have published. (4) (5)

Why do most people... when preparing for what is already here (even though it has not touched everyone yet) focus on camping supplies, canned food, water purification units and the like? One thing is more important: a heart in tune with the Will of God. Nevertheless, most people relegate acquiring this spiritual orientation to the end of their list, if it is on their agenda at all.

We suggest that the following advice be taken to heart: Offer to God the sacrifice of praise: and pay thy vows to the most High. And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. [Psalm 50: 14-15]
Explaining the situation in another way...


With the key being...


Now, quoting the Psalms by heart it is not the key... the key is striving with all our heart, soul and mind to believe and live those words.

Then, you will know, without a shred of a doubt, that even if you find yourself in a foreign land, with not even money for a cup of coffee (literally) and no one to turn to, He will gloriously display His generosity and deliver you (1) by making every single promise He has made a reality... or... when crossing a border at midnight and coming face to face with a person you know was sent to kill you (since that was precisely the reason you were trying to get away at that time) ... you have the assurance that no harm will befall you, ... For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike yout foot against a stone... and He, of course, made that promise good as well.

A word of caution, however: Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. [Matthew 4:7]

That is - do not willingly place yourself in danger banking that God will bail you out. It does not work that way.

Just believe! God IS NOT a figment of our imagination; God IS!
              
(1) An independent - and apparently unrelated - "invoice" will be presented by God to those who could have helped but chose to look the other way. This is an excellent example of "sin by omission"; a sin that we all must be very vigilant about since is probably the most frequent one humans commit.



From miguel de Portugal @ EU and US

As we remember and honor Mary Magdalene today let us remember that we are not to judge anyone.


We are to judge behavior using Divine Law as a standard - but we are not to judge the individual soul.


And when we judge behavior, we must do so keeping in mind that:


After all...


Frankly, we should not venture to judge someone whom God Himself chose to appear first. Would you like to be in the shoes of those who passed judgment on the soul of Mary Magdalene before her conversion?

I certainly wouldn't!

Today's Mass Gospel reading... covers what may be a great mystery to many as well as an excuse for some to manipulate numbers (Bible Code like) instead of spending time in prayer. Quoting from Matthew 13:1-9:
[our underscoring]


The key reason for the mention of "some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, and some thirtyfold" is to illustrate - and remind all of us - that our (we are the "good ground") capacity to "produce" is unique and different from one another.

Our concern should be to "produce" all the fruit that He has ordained for each one of us from all Eternity - not more and not less. This further translates into:


Saint This and Saint That should just be a reminder what is attainable in the human condition by and through the Grace of God as well as an intercessor before the Throne of God.

Looking at it from another perspective: If you were a budding artist and wanted to try your hand at painting a copy of the Mona Lisa - would you use some other budding artist's copy as a model or would you use the original or a fine photograph of the original Mona Lisa?

From (Mr.) IW @ Somewhere in the World

In reference to your post of July 19th (see below) several things are noteworthy:


Because of the great time difference that separate us I read your posting in time to go online and catch the middle and end of a Greek Orthodox liturgy being offered in California. I prayed along with the congregation, and it was so familiar.

After doing this, I felt calm and peaceful for the rest of the day, and I realized the importance of this turning point.

To reiterate your message: You are now recommending that the Roman Catholic faithful forego the Masses of their own church, and attend (in person or on line) the valid Divine Liturgies of the Orthodox Church.

All of this is a call for Roman Catholics to understand and "live out" the reality that for them, the Sacrifice has really been taken away, in a way that has never occurred before.

In-person attendance at Orthodox Liturgies will presumably remain possible until:


Presumably, on-line attendance at such liturgies would be possible until (a) or (b) occur, or (c) until the Net goes down for good.

IW

A. We underscore what m de P stated (see below): After much prayer seeking His Will regarding this matter we understand that it would be advisable for the Faithful to, either migrate to any of the other Patriarchates which may have a Church nearby or follow (participate in) the live Orthodox Divine Liturgy on-line with the communion being of a spiritual nature.

Once such statement was made, our responsibility ends and the issue remains between the Holy Spirit of God and each individual Faithful.

We must, however, remind all of what Daniel announced in chapter 9, verse 27:


We wish to highlight that said "week" is a "period of seven" - which should be read as such: 7 days, 7 weeks or 7 years depending on the particular meaning of the message/prophecy. However, rest assured that there is not much time left.

We wish to also highlight the words of Our Lord Jesus Christ through Matthew in chapter 24, verse 15 through 30:


The immediacy of the actions we are to take, such as "flee to the mountains" and "not go back to take his coat" are not specific instructions for specific acts; they merely illustrate the urgency and importance of the actions the Faithful must take once "...you shall see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place". (1)

Unfortunately, many of the Faithful expect the Apocalypse to unfold following a precise script which will be distributed in advance by the Vatican at the Sunday Mass in their local parish (or broadcast by their favorite televangelist or end-times novelist). We state "unfortunately" because most will be caught off guard by the events already unfolding.

We shall close the above clarifying words with the following news report about the book published in 2010 by the Vatican's chief exorcist Father Gabriele Amorth: (2)


May those who have eyes to see, See and ears to hear, Hear. (3)

In reference to your post of July 19th (see below) - you list the following Patriarchates: Constantinople, Alexandria, Antioch, Jerusalem and Rome.

Isn't the Russian Patriarchate part of the Orthodox group?

RB

A. Absolutely!

The list you referred to was as the situation stood "At the turn of the first millennia" - not now. As it is now, the Russian Orthodox Church and the Greek Orthodox Church make up the largest Patriarchates.

Thank you for the opportunity to clarify this matter.

From miguel de Portugal @ EU and US

From time to time we receive letters from the distressed Faithful, who are at a loss regarding their difficulty in finding a properly offered Mass near their place of residence, and/or their concern about taking part in a Mass offered under dubious circumstances.

Such dubious circumstance include: Masses where (a) the consecration of bread and wine is done improperly or not done at all (1); (b) hosts offered at communion time, allegedly consecrated in previous Masses, are retrieved from the Tabernacle; and (c) prayers are offered for the man who has been identified as the AntiChrist (2) and who, as expected, speaks from both sides of his mouth about the sexual abuse scandal and other matters of grave import (3).

Considering that:


After much prayer seeking His Will regarding this matter we understand that it would be advisable for the Faithful to, either migrate to any of the other Patriarchates which may have a Church nearby or follow (participate in) the live Orthodox Divine Liturgy on-line with he communion being of a spiritual nature.

We have found an on-line selection of live Divine Liturgy from the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America. The schedule may be found in the listing of each Church broadcasting the Liturgy.

Remember, it must be live so that you may unite yourself - invoking the Communion of Saints - with the congregation and the clergy who are - at that very moment - offering the Mass.

Example of invoking the Communion of Saints just before the Divine Liturgy commences: Eternal Father, invoking the Communion of Saints, I unite myself with my brethren, bodily present in the offering of the merits associated with this Divine Liturgy, and in the Name of Jesus Christ, for the intentions set forth by the officiating clergy as well as for my intention (verbally express your intention now).

At the time of Holy Communion, when the consecrated bread and wine are offered to those physically present at the Divine Liturgy, the Faithful, who are not physically present may offer the following Spiritual Communion Prayer:


Regarding the Sacrament of Reconciliation - continue to use the confessor that you feel comfortable with in the Roman Catholic Church of your choice. It is God who forgives you through the confessor; it is not the Church that forgives, despite what some may say.

From (Mr.) WO @ US

Recently, author William Peter Blatty was a featured guest on 'The World Over Live', on EWTN - hosted by Opus Dei member Raymond Arroyo. This was in conjunction with related interviews with Fr. Thomas Euteneur (1), who now has been "anointed" an expert on exorcism.

Blatty's (2) presence on the program puzzled me. First, since have I never perceived him as anything close to being a devout Catholic; secondly, not being of the OD brand of conservatism. A closer look at Blatty's biography shed quite a bit of light on his apparently incoherent interaction with EWTN:


Considering that Blatty's famous book-turned-movie "The Exorcist" (5) had such an enormous cultural impact, some reconsideration of 'why' he was being featured in said program may be in order, just as we should consider the 'why' of the 'resurrection' of the 82 year old Blatty within the context of a rather curious series of reports on the 'radiant new exorcists' now being formed at the Vatican.

God Bless You!

The Second Reading... for today's Mass is from Col. 1: 24-28. Do not forget that most translations of verse 24 of that letter from St. Paul are not only wrong but outright offensive to God. To wit:

The overall impression is that Christ's suffering was incomplete. His passion, crucifixion and death just was not sufficient suffering - just "did not quite make it" - and Paul has now to "make up the difference." This concept/translation is somewhere between blasphemy and heresy. However, in the most accurate translation of the original texts that we have found found we see the correct translation:


As the reader can easily see, the suffering that was lacking was not Christ's suffering but His suffering manifested in Paul's flesh for the benefit of Christ's Body, the Church. This is a tremendous difference from all other man centered versions.

No Biblical error. Paul did not make a mistake either - it was simply that it did not occur to the translators for over a millenia, except to Msgr. Straubinger, that all that is Christ and of Christ was, is and will ever be perfect and no man can even think of making up something that Christ lacked (except, of course, Mr. and Mrs. Moon (1), who seem to be the "wannabe" version of the False Christ; they claim to be making up Christ's incomplete mission.)

Well, considering the story of the Iranian alleged nuclear specialist (2) who "miraculously" appeared in the US [just where did he get his entry visa? and who gave him the extension beyond the standard 30 days stay?]; was in the US of his own free will (Christmas shopping?); and could leave whenever he wanted - brethren... Anything goes!

This reflects the level of stupidity national leaders (not only from the US, believe me!) ascribe to the world citizens... and we may just agree with the national leaders.

Thus, Mr. Medvedev's statement will be seen as the final "Green Light" the West needed.

On July 13th, 1947, exactly 30 years (to the day) after delivering the key messages of Fatima (2), Mary said...



...then Pierina asked whether a miracle would follow. Our Lady replied:


The seer, Pierina, interpreted the words Mystical Rose as follows: "Mary is the master teacher of the innermost, mystical life and the Mother of the mystical body of Christ; in other words: She is the Mother of the Church."

This obviously inspired interpretation by Pierina was magnificently confirmed by Pope Paul VI in his final speech during the third meeting of the Second Vatican Council, on 21st November, l964. Irrespective of the presence of observers from the separated Churches, he declared Mary as the Mother of the Church; finally, he let his heart speak out and said: We want that, in the future, the Most Blessed Virgin is still more honoured under this title, and called by this lovely title by the Christian people.

From Lee Penn @ US

In the FYI & R post of July 8th, “WO” and you both warned against an ongoing Opus Dei plan: to allow (or to promote) the collapse of traditional Church structures, while creating a world-wide parallel, counterfeit “church” that could replace the “old” Roman Catholic Church. All of this would be done to pave the way for the false “Christ.”

I would not be surprised for this to occur; I found mainstream Church sources talking openly about this plan for a parallel church when I prepared a long story for the Journal of the Spiritual Counterfeits Project about Opus Dei in late 2005. (1) (2)

Note that the following findings (a) are documented from mainstream Catholic sources, and (b) were published more than four years ago, and (c) have never had their accuracy challenged.

Lee Penn

              
(1) The complete Part 1 of the story
(2) The complete Part 2 of the story, from which I quote the excerpts below.


The EXCERPTS

Excerpt 1:

On the eve of Pentecost 2004, Pope John Paul II said, “The ecclesial movements and new communities are a providential answer, inspired by the Holy Spirit given the present need of new evangelization.” [1]

Upon the rock of these movements, the Catholic authorities propose to build a new Church for the Third Millennium.

The new ecclesial movements “are in practice largely autonomous from the local Churches.” [2] An article published in 2004 by La Civiltà Cattolica – a paper whose contents are reviewed by the Vatican’s secretariat of state before going to press – warns of three dangers: “The first danger: ‘The tendency to make absolute their own Christian experience, holding it to be the only valid one, for which reason the ‘true’ Christians would be those who are part of their own movement.’ The second: ‘The tendency to close themselves off; that is, to follow their own pastoral plans and methods of formation for the members of the movement, to carry out their own apostolic activities, refusing to collaborate with other ecclesial organizations, or seeking to occupy all the territory themselves, leaving scarce resources for the activities of other associations.’ The third: ‘The tendency to cut themselves off from the local Church, making reference in their apostolic activity more to the methods of the movement and the directives of its leaders than to the directives and pastoral programs of the dioceses and parishes. From this arises the sometimes bitter tensions that can be created between the ecclesial movements and the bishops and pastors.’” [3]

In 2003, Vatican reporter John Allen forecast the emerging structure of the Catholic Church, based on what he learned from two Opus Dei leaders in Spain: “the parish will not disappear, but it will play a very different role. Instead of being the center of Catholic life, the crucible in which one’s spirituality is forged, it will function as a meeting place for the movements. The parish would become a sort of ecclesiastical piazza, in which adherents of the Neocatechumenate, Opus Dei, Regnum Christi, Catholic Action, Communion and Liberation, etc., meet to share experiences, to work on joint projects, and at least sometimes to worship together, before moving back down their different avenues.” [4] As an Italian Catholic journalist noted in 2003, the new ecclesial movements “refer directly to the pope as their one connection to the Church. To different degrees they bear the distinctive features of a sect. The risk is that they will transform the Catholic Church into a body of memberships in juxtaposed groups that don’t communicate with each other: each movement with its own liturgy, its own discipline, its own system of authority and beliefs.” [5] Catholic parishes and dioceses would cease to embody the unity of the faithful. They would instead become recruiting grounds for competing authoritarian, politicized sects.

A former member of Focolare warned, “It is ironic that the most pernicious and inhuman idea of the twentieth century, the deification of the collective, has found its last refuge and most passionate proponents in the very Catholics who fought communism so fiercely.” [6] It should be a red flag that most of these “new ecclesial movements” have spawned groups of bruised and disillusioned survivors (organizations such as the Opus Dei Awareness Network [7] and REGAIN [8]), and that these new ecclesial movements have a place on standard anti-cult web sites [9] – an “honor” not shared by traditional Catholic religious orders such as Benedictines, Dominicans, and Franciscans.

As Opus Dei and the other new ecclesial movements grow, the Catholic Church is likely to change in ways more radical than Call to Action, We Are Church, and other leftist dissenters would have ever dreamed.

Excerpt 2:

At the end of “The Way”

Here’s the situation, in summary:


The Self-Demolition of the Roman Catholic Church

A mystery remains: why have Opus Dei (and other sectarian new ecclesial movements) grown within the Catholic Church, while other Catholic structures imploded so swiftly after 1965?

It may be that the “powers that be” in Rome have made a decision to allow this to occur. A conservative Catholic journalist (editor of Inside the Vatican magazine) explains: “The 20th century ended, for the Catholic Church, on October 6, 2002. It ended precisely 40 years after the opening of the Second Vatican Council in 1962. It ended on a warm, blue autumn day with John Paul II’s canonization of Josemaría Escrivá de Balaguer, the founder of Opus Dei, as a saint. ... The essential historical purpose and effect of that Council – as it now seems from a vantage point of 40 years – was to prepare the Church for a new world order: the order which is now nearly upon us. ... No longer would the Church be primarily organized in small, separated communities (parishes, dioceses) of people who lived most of their lives in one place, in one cultural context; the Church would increasingly be organized as one world-wide community ... a world-wide order, or organism – like the new Church movements” or personal prelatures, such as Opus Dei. [10] John Allen, Vatican correspondent for the liberal National Catholic Reporter, noted in 2004 that the European Union has rejected any mention of the Christian heritage of Europe in the proposed constitution. He added, “In a culture that often seems not just indifferent, but positively hostile, to organized religion, it may be that only disciplined, highly motivated groups operating outside traditional ecclesiastical structures will have the capacity to evangelize and catechize.” [11]

In short, the authorities in the Catholic Church seem to have given up on the structures that had characterized the Church for almost 2,000 years. The easiest way to move them aside was to neglect them – and to ignore the voluminous pleas that the faithful made to Rome after 1965 to rein in the manifest heresy and vice that spread through the Catholic Church. In their stead, there are to be new institutions for a new, more-disciplined Church.

After chaos, there would be a religious New Order. Bishop Swing, the Episcopalian founder of the United Religions Initiative, would approve of the concept, if not of this application of it. In 2004, he wrote: “In the first words of the Bible we read where the Spirit brooded over the chaos. ... Chaos is the necessary ingredient that prompts the Creator’s Spirit to be inventive. High praise for chaos. If Creation is an ongoing phenomenon and if chaos is a necessary ingredient beckoning to the Spirit, then we must be living on the edge of the Spirit’s Pentecostal blast. Our world has more than enough of chaos. Surely the Spirit cannot be far behind. A new creation must be just ahead.” [12] He added, “Perhaps in the chaos of our own deaths and frightening uncertainties, the Spirit will bring us to a new order, for which at present we have no language or metaphors.” [13]

The Bible, however, testifies against any church authorities who seek a new order through chaos. Through the prophet Isaiah, the Lord said, “For thus says the Lord, who created the heavens (he is God!), who formed the earth and made it (he established it; he did not create it a chaos, he formed it to be inhabited!): ‘I am the Lord, and there is no other. I did not speak in secret, in a land of darkness; I did not say to the offspring of Jacob, ‘Seek me in chaos.’ I the Lord speak the truth, I declare what is right.” (Is. 45:18-19). [14]

Leaving aside the Machiavellian strategies of Opus Dei, we can give the last word to one of the cult’s survivors, María del Carmen Tapia. After she was expelled from the movement, she continued to attend church. A priest who knew her story asked her, “Why do you go on believing in God?” She replied, “Because God has nothing to do with Opus Dei.” [15]

Did you know that... today, Sunday, July 11th, a total eclipse of rare beauty will sweep across the South Pacific?



From miguel de Portugal @ EU and US

Believe it or not, a certain level of "denial" can be very beneficial. You have heard us denounce "denial" probably on a weekly basis but we must qualify exactly what level of denial we are referring to.

Imagine "denial" being the lenses of your eye glasses. If the lenses are totally opaque and you cannot see reality, or if you "project into your eye" an image that is contradictory to reality, that is the denial we denounce. However, those imaginary eye glass lenses can come in transparencies all the way from crystal clear (with no filtering of reality) to shades matching the darkest, yet approved, sun glasses - which provide the highest softening (but not distorting) of reality.

Why is this so? It is quite simple after God has demonstrated it.

Our psychological make-up - specific to each human being at birth and then molded by our experiences as we journey into adulthood - can handle only so much of reality; thus our view of it must be softened somewhat just as sun glasses soften the sun’s rays to protect our vision. Our ability to withstand the absolute reality will, through God's Grace, automatically vary the "shade" of the lenses through which we see reality.

We will give you just one example which God used recently to resolutely demonstrate this to m de P.

On the FYI&R posting of June 14th and 17th (1) we addressed the issue of the alleged plane which allegedly impacted on the Pentagon on September 11, 2001. We discussed the National Geographic video, composed of security camera shots as well as of the news reports immediately after the alleged impact. In the June 14th Posting we stated:


Although the Pentagon incident does not affect our belief that the 9-11 events were allowed to happen - if not outright produced just as a Hollywood disaster movie is staged, we made the following statement, referring to the National Geographic documentary, in our June 17th response:


So far this is what we have: (a) Supernatural and circumstantial evidence of foul play by certain shadowy authorities; (b) A legitimate documentary issued without delay (and obvious possible censorship) which visually denies the plane-into-Pentagon claim.

There was one more thing that we could do to rule out perception or documentary production errors in the video, and, through the Grace of God, we realized that we have a ten year old DVD player with which we could view and examine a fixed frame of the video at one second intervals.

It was during this exercise that God showed me the Degrees of Denial theory exposed above.

I realized that "I was still wearing light colored sun glasses" to soften the realities of 9-11. Then, faced with the naked truth, as we examined frames one second at time, I simply became sick to my stomach... the last "tinting of the glasses" through which I was viewing that reality vanished.

Beginning with the famous security camera footage, one can see without a shred of a doubt that the explosion was from the inside of the Pentagon walls out and not from the outside in. This was followed by the other realities confirmed as we further scrutinized the still frames, just one second apart from each other. There is not a shred of doubt that no airplane parts are anywhere outside the walls, or inside the building wreckage, whether from a frontal or an aerial view. Then, the truth of 9-11 stood before our eyes "stark naked as a jay bird", and even m de P had a difficult time dealing with it.

May God have Mercy on His Elect!

Today's Mass Gospel reading... closes with:


Just for the record:

What our Lord Jesus Christ meant by "shall confess me before men" is not signing up in a Christian denomination like one would do with a club or association or political party, or decorating one's car with a Christian bumper sticker, or checking the box indicating religious preference in the few forms that still require it.

The "confession of Him before men" means living Him; i.e. striving with all our strength to live the Word of God, which, of course is Jesus Himself.

Through Luke, He says the same thing in a different way:

We just don't want any surprises when the rush to light the lamps [Matthew 25: 1-13] is on; a rush that may take place whenever we meet Him face to face - at the Second Coming or... when we expire our last breath - whichever comes first.

We simply could not... make up stories like this - even if we really tried. (1)



And, if all of that were not enough to cause deep consternation to a true member of the Faithful...



Incidentally, we first found the Opus Dei connection, not in the quoted news articles, but in a major Spanish daily which is considered of the center-right political persuasion and which used to be very Opus-friendly.

Not even in his best day could Dan Brown come up with any Opus Dei thriller even close to the actual fact that you have read above.

From (Mr.) WO @ US

If even a fraction of what I am conjecturing here is true, the implications are devastating.

The US Supreme Court (1) has recently declined to hear an appeal of the Vatican in a pending and heavily contested sex abuse lawsuit. This clears the way for the Vatican not only to be sued, but for Cardinals of the Roman Curia and the Pope himself to be compelled to be deposed in courts of law. And we are not just speaking of one single case...

Additionally, the 'discovery' part of any such trial would legally compel the Defendant (a Diocese and/or the Vatican itself) to produce ALL pertinent documentation regarding sex abuse cases, personnel files, and perhaps even those of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith which handled them – perhaps even those from the Roman Rota (the internal Vatican 'Supreme Court" for clergy matters).

One needs no great imagination to realize the potential tide of filth which would pour forth from courtrooms into the news as all such evidence would be presented in open court, and is thus public knowledge – unless, of course, a 'closed court' is ordered by the judge (which is rare).

In this scenario, all the denials and overt lies of Bishops would be exposed; as well as those of the Vatican itself.

I have pondered this over the last few days, in its multiple ramifications. During a recent episode of EWTN's 'The World Over Live', their TV news magazine hosted by Opus Dei member Raymond Arroyo, a lawyer, doubtless of the same persuasion, explained aspects of this scenario.

This "open talk" served to confirm other things already known or understood by other means.

The conclusion is that the notoriety of the scandals is intentional from certain quarters, while others try to maintain silence about these abuses. In a seeming paradox, the church administrators are fulfilling what Christ said ("that which was whispered in the chambers shall be shouted from the mountain tops..."). Even the Devil has to serve God...

It is not a secret that the Opus Dei has control over the Vatican and many dioceses globally (remember how many Bishops were rooting for the canonization of Escrivá?). They also have had de facto control over the wealth of the Vatican for some 30 years - in addition to their own 'war chest'. That is, they have the Ecclesiastical and financial clout needed for the fulfillment of their plans.

Why would they want to destroy what they now own - the oldest and wealthiest global mega-corporation: The Roman Catholic Church?

The first step in answering that question is posing another one: WHY did Opus Dei plan for decades, going to great lengths to have themselves officially set up as a "Parallel Church"?

The goal of the unfolding crisis seems to be the destruction of faith in God for untold hundreds of millions of the Vatican’s faithful, and the end of the "old and decadent portion of the Church". But that is a mere intermediate goal; a means to an end... because the Parallel Church - spearheaded by the "saviors" from Opus Dei - will triumph and will race to "save" humanity.

After all - as Escrivá wrote in "The Way" - The ends justify the means

God Bless You!

(Mr.) WO
              
(1) The US Supreme Court has a majority of Catholic justices, including several Opus Dei members.


A. Your conjecture fits very well with (ties neatly) all that we have published, yielding a coherent segment to the Road Map to Hell - that is: Steps Nos. 9 and 10 of the Sequence of Events (1).

In addition, your Road Map highlights for those who have not yet noticed what Paul wrote in the second letter to the Thessalonians. To wit:


The key lies in the phrase: "...for unless there come a revolt first..."

The correct translation is: "...because first there will be the apostasy..." and of course, with the parallel church either taking over or separating itself from the Church is the much awaited, talked about and mislabeled "apostasy".

As we see the latest sexual abuse scandal in the Belgian Catholic Church enmeshing itself with one of the most heinous sexual serial crimes perpetrated on children (2) since the Second World War, it is obvious how easy it will be for the allegedly "pristine" Parallel Church to denounce the original Church, and to contribute to its sinking.

From (Mrs.) LM @ US

I came across an article published in the National Catholic Reporter on 7/2/2010, "Seven days that shook the Vatican", written by John. L. Allen Jr. It looks like something the readers of this web site might be interested in. It lists several events that occurred during the past week, three involved the sex abuse scandal and one about a financial scandal. Two involved appointments. It states:

and


Are any of these men members of Opus Dei? The author of the article also gives some interesting insights. He notes that the Pope borrows terminology for Arnold Toynbee who is a historian, in reference to "creative minorities". What are your insights on this article? Is it credible?

The article written by Castro that was referred to yesterday, was amazing.

Thank you for your time and may God continue to Bless you with his Love.

(Mrs.) LM

A. Your kind words and wishes are greatly appreciated. Unfortunately we were not able to read the article due to a continuous overload of our "In Boxes" - both from Heaven and from Earth. Nevertheless, we will be able to answer your questions.

Without a doubt - and without even trying to search for it - those three appointees are either full fledged Opus Dei members or so OD-friendly that the difference would be unimportant. Tragically Opus Dei has metastasized to such a degree within the Roman Catholic Church that no position of power is left without them controlling it - directly or indirectly.

Regarding any work by Mr. Allen - other than reporting straight facts such as Vatican or political appointments, etc. - we dismiss his credibility altogether. An individual who believed that the Opus Dei truly gave him full access to them while writing a book praising the Opus Dei needs to further "credentials" for us to dismiss him.

However, as the very true saying goes: "God is good!" - He deemed appropriate to place in m de P's hands concrete confirmation of that. To wit -

In an article written by Mr. Allen and published in the NCR he relates an interview with a well known individual - a pathological liar. Some people, who are in the dark or simply quite naïve, think of this person as Mr. Fatima, while the majority in the Fatima circuit worldwide know him for what he really is. In said interview "Mr. Fatima" made some serious accusations and disparaging remarks about another Fatima related individual who is well known worldwide.

As God would have it, m de P was an actual physical witness of what truly transpired back in 1992 – 1993. The truth was the complete opposite of what "Mr. Fatima" reported, and which Mr. Allen bought "lock, stock and barrel", and reported in the NCR. Allen’s inaccurate report – based on an unreliable witness – was picked up worldwide, and is being taken "as gospel" for many today.

Both Mr. Allen and "Mr. Fatima" should be thankful to God that the individual who was slandered on a worldwide scale did not file defamation charges against them. One of these days the NCR management may wake up to a lawsuit that could have been avoided by screening better the investigative abilities of their "star" reporters - but that is their problem, not ours.

A star investigative reporter is an individual with the qualifications and record of Mr. Lee Penn (1) who will exhaust every avenue imaginable to confirm sources, statements and facts. No; we are not claiming that he is infallible - not even those who claim to be infallible are (2); we are citing what we consider a shining example of reporting professionalism.

Did you know that... not only the ownership of the alleged North Korean torpedo which sank a South Korean warship may have been an invention to justify a possible attack on North Korea (see FYI&R post on July 4th (1)) but now the authorities are admitting that the 2009 cyber attack - also blamed on North Korea - did not originate with them either? (2)


The M+G+R Foundation comments: Not only someone is bent on justifying a war against North Korea but we are not even able to track down the culprits after a full year investigation by experts. Of course, that is assuming that someone really want to find the culprits... which is, believe it or not, the least of the two evils. If there are cyber-hackers out there that can outsmart the US cyber-technology... What next? A highjacked drone?

Did you know that... Benedict XVI (1) may be paving the way to resign and make way for the False Christ (2)?


The M+G+R Foundation comments: Another option has been made available to introduce the Falsified Christ. There is no doubt that they are "keeping all their options on the table" - and creating new ones as needed.

True admiration for Celestine cannot be the reason for such religious-splash by Benedict. After all, Celestine V cannot be a favorite of a man who wears red patent leather shoes and ermine-trimmed garments, carries a corpus-less cross-staff, and lives in a splendor that would make Ramses II envious.

Nonetheless, Benedict has declared the year ending in August 29, 2010 to be a "Celestine year". (4)

Did you know that... the first probes into the alleged conspiracy to carry out "deep cover" Russian espionage in the United States came in 2000? (1)
[our highlights]


The M+G+R Foundation comments: As we were saying...

              
(1) News Report


While meditating during... the Feast of St. Thomas (July 3rd), we were given a few thoughts to highlight. Among the Apostles we have...



Some may say: Yes, but that was before Pentecost. To which we will say: Wrong!

Tragically those four "traits" have been seen throughout the 2000 years of Christianity more often than not.

The problem lies squarely in our free will. Remember Adam and Eve? They did not even need to be baptized; they were in face-to-Face communication with God. And yet – they betrayed, they lied, they fell for satan's trick, they did not have enough faith and they ended up not being blessed.

Therefore - before we "pass the buck" (American slang for: Blame someone else for our failings) take a look at the mirror and you will see someone who may fall just the same way.

What to do then? Tirelessly seek more faith from the only one Who can give it: God; place God above all - and we mean ALL; abandon yourself to His Will; and understand that, with a "Baptism under the belt" and the mechanical following of some basic rituals, you are not automatically "Saved".

Remember...


Of course - "heareth my words, and doth them" - as we have often explained, carry the proviso that one is trying with all one's might to do so which is not always easy. Remember - God judges based on the degree of our effort to live His Word and not the level of achievement.

Rejoice in the knowledge that, and certainty of this promise:

From (Mr.) IW @ US

As I recall, you have cast doubt on the "official" US/South Korea story about the sinking of the South Korean navy ship this spring, in your May 27th FYI&R post (1).

Following is more evidence ... it seems that the cover-up guys are "not even good at being bad."

I think that the North Korea regime is evil ... but if indeed they are being falsely accused of sinking the South Korean ship, I can see why their recent behavior is so truculent.

From (Mrs.) LL @ US

I noticed that you just posted The Christian Religious Days of Note (see July 2nd post below ) for the month of July.

I just wanted to ask you to also remind The M+G+R Foundation family that the Rosa Mystica Novena starts Monday, July 5th.

Thanks and Many Blessings!

LL

A. We are indebted to your kindness and generosity for reminding us to do so.


From (Mr.) IW @ US

This article (1) - Discovering The Truth In Time by Fidel Castro - just hit my In-Box. Are we on schedule, or what?

It was published by "Information Clearing House", a leftist news source that I have heard of before, but do not often see myself.

I was not even sure that Fidel was still alive, and do not know what his current role is in running Cuba.

Quotes:

Castro is rambling and wandering ... but sounds as if he is directly copying material from the MGR web site.

There may be this difference: You know what you know as a revelation from God; Castro knows what he knows because he is part of the planning team for the events described above.

IW

A. Thank you for pointing this out to us.

No, he does not know because he is a part of the planning team.

He knows from The M+G+R Foundation documents published in our domain (sorry, no invisible inks, nor encoded words, nor short range wireless connections).

One never knows who read our pages, does one?

Notes

(1) If you are a new visitor, you may get the idea (from what you may read on this page) that we are part of what is known as the "liberal movement" within Catholicism. We strongly suggest that you first review our positions regarding the Pristine Catholic Faith (we said "Faith" and not "Church Administration), RC Church Administration , Only Possible Changes Within the RCC Allowed by God and Our Function.

(2) If you prefer to evaluate positions using the "liberal", "moderate" and "conservative" labels, we would fall in the "practicing conservative" group, without the fanaticism which most "talking conservatives" exhibit. The difference between "practicing conservative" and "talking conservative" is that the first strives to live what Jesus Christ taught, while the second one, the "talking conservative", just talks about the faith and practices just enough for others to see.

You are encouraged to be an instrument in reaching all who must be reached in His Name through your assistance.
