~ST.BERNADETTE~
whose body is incorruptible.
The INCORRUPT body of Saint Bernadette Soubirous
of Lourdes, France (1844-1879)
as it remains today.
A phenomenon reserved
to the Catholic Church and involving a
VAST number of saints going back almost
2000 years. Please refer to THE INCORRUPTIBLES
by Joan Carroll Cruz,
TAN books and publishers,
for the best documentation.

(Latin)~THE BREAD OF ANGELS ~
I AM, THE LIVING BREAD,
COME DOWN FROM HEAVEN.
IF YOU EAT THIS BREAD,
YOU WILL LIVE FOREVER.
THIS BREAD I GIVE IS MY FLESH,
FOR THE LIFE OF THE WORLD.

BUT, THAT YOU EAT THIS
BREAD AND DRINK THIS CUP-
YOU HAVE NO LIFE IN YOU.

~POPE LEO XIII ~
At LaSalette, France, The Blessed Virgin warned that:
"In the year 1864, Lucifer together with a large
number of demons will be unloosed from Hell;
they will put an end to faith little by little,
even in those dedicated to God".

At the end of the 1800's,
Pope Leo XIII was saying Mass,
and fell over as though dead.
Presumed dead by his color and failure to detect a pulse.
Before he could be properly taken away-he woke up.
Horrified, he related that he had been caught up
in a vision; allowed to witness an exchange between
God and Lucifer, in which Lucifer boasted that
he could destroy the Church. God asked, was this so?
He was permitted to try. Satan countered that he
needed more time. When God asked how much time,
Satan said: "75 to 100 years, and a greater power
over those who would give themselves to my service".
God granted him the time and the power,
but made no vow that he would not oppose him.

Sound a little bit like JOB in the Old Testament?
The seedlings spread by that one in that span of time
may only yet be budding. God alone knows when,
if, he will allow them to bloom.

THE HOLY SOULS IN PURGATORY ~

CANON XXX SESSION VI OF THE COUNCIL OF TRENT

"If any one saith that after the grace of
Justification has been recieved, to every penitent sinner
the GUILT is remitted, and the DEBT of eternal punishment
is blotted out in such wise that there remains not any
debt of temporal punishment to be discharged, either in
this world, or in the next in Purgatory, before the entrance to
the kingdom of Heaven can be opened to him-let him be anathema."

ECCLESIASTICUS (7;37) (24;45)

PSALMS (141;8)
DANIEL (12;10)
MATTHEW (5;26) (12;32)

ETERNAL REST GRANT UNTO THEM O LORD,
AND LET THY PERPETUAL LIGHT SHINE UPON THEM.

HERESY & APOSTACY ~

A Fundamentalist friend of mine once said, that,
once the Catholic Churhc goes to pot it spells the end
for all Christ based religions - since the Catholics
have always held strongly in their beliefs.

Sadly, today the Church is rapidly splintering,
with many countries wanting to break from Rome and
form their own little "vaticans."
Even in the U.S., if you look up
Catholic Church in many yellow pages you'll find,
under Catholic: (1) Roman, (2) American,
(3) Liberal, and even (4) New Age.

Entering a Catholic Mass today, you would not
know it for at least 90% of your visit.
Our Church is rapidly being stripped of any statues
of saints (the Blessed Mother in particular) and you'll have
to look hard to find a actual crucifix.
Morality, doctrine, dogma, sin,
purgatory, saints, Mary, even the Eucharist
-the center-
is not spoken of anymore except,
in quick passing. The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
is now called a "celebration", without being specific
as to what that means. And the U.S. Bishops
are generally in defiance of the Pope.
But, even the Pope(s) these days, "are reported" of doing things which,
100 years ago, would have seen them denounced. And so,
I wonder about the validity of the things I've mentioned earlier.

A poem published in a paper known as "The Wanderer"
a few years back, sadly, reflects what I have heard mentioned
in my own Church, and, what I know (from 1st hand)
is being shoved down the throats of those who are entering the
Lay Ministry-on up to formal seminary:


(A Priest and a Nun are wringing
their hands over what to do about
a 3rd grade student who is devout and giving them grief,
by countering what they tell the students, and standing
up for what the Church actually teaches)

PRIEST: "I just don't know, what do we do?

NUN: "Let's pray to the Person we always do."

OUR PERSON, WHO ART SOMEWHERE,
UNMENTIONED BE THY MASCULINE NAME.
THY NEW WORLD COME, THY SUGGESTIONS BE CONSIDERED,
ACCORDING TO HOW WE FEEL.
GIVE US THIS DAY OUR FEEL-GOOD MOOD,
AND FORGIVE US FOR NOT ALWAYS FOLLOWING YOUR ADVICE.
AN LEAD US NOT INTO THE HANDS OF THE DEVOUT,
BUT DELIVER US TO THE ROCHESTER DIOCESE
....A-PERSON.
