[Christmas
Eve]
Commentary on Malachias - "I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me"
Did you really understand... the meaning of the reading for yesterday's Mass? It was from the Book of Malachias, and it read:
1 “I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before
me. Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant,
whom you desire, will come,” says the LORD Almighty.
2 But who can endure the day of his coming? Who can stand when he appears? For he will be like a refiner's fire or a launderer's soap. 3 He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; he will purify the Levites and refine them like gold and silver. Then the LORD will have men who will bring offerings in righteousness, 4 and the offerings of Judah and Jerusalem will be acceptable to the LORD, as in days gone by, as in former years. [Malachias 3]
2 But who can endure the day of his coming? Who can stand when he appears? For he will be like a refiner's fire or a launderer's soap. 3 He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; he will purify the Levites and refine them like gold and silver. Then the LORD will have men who will bring offerings in righteousness, 4 and the offerings of Judah and Jerusalem will be acceptable to the LORD, as in days gone by, as in former years. [Malachias 3]
and
5 “See, I will send the prophet Elijah to you before that
great and dreadful day of the LORD comes. 6 He will turn the hearts of the parents to their
children, and the hearts of the children to their parents; or else I will come and strike the land
with total destruction.” [Malachias
4]
Firstly - The time was not when Jesus was born in a humble manger in Bethlehem. Obviously "But who can endure the day of his coming? Who can stand when he appears? For he will be like a refiner's fire or a launderer's soap." does not apply in any way to then. That time is Now!
Secondly - When he says that "he will purify the Levites and refine them like gold and silver. Then ... the offerings of Judah and Jerusalem will be acceptable to the LORD", God - through Malachias - is telling everyone who has ears to hear that the cleansing will start with the Levites - the priestly class of today. That obviously did not happen at the First Coming of Christ.
Thirdly - God is speaking of a "...great and dreadful day.." and not of a gentle and peaceful pastoral scene at some quaint manger. This is a time which will be announced by His messenger so that those who have Eyes to See and Ears to Hear will react - as Noah did - so that He will not "come and strike the land with total destruction". That is exactly what we are doing.... Now!
Blessedly, the destruction will be partial and not total, as explained elsewhere (2). Just as it was at the time of Noah's cataclysm (1), a few have heard and seen and acted upon it, therefore the destruction of the planet will not be complete.

Ratzinger/Maledict deflecting the blame of for the sexual abuse scandals
From miguel de Portugal @ EU - US
As if the Faith of most of the faithful was not damaged enough, now, Maledict (henceforth the name that we will use for Ratzinger) is willing to stain all of the Catholic priesthood and seminarians to deflect the blame for the sexual abuse in the Roman Catholic Church away from himself, the Cardinals, Archbishops and Bishops.
In his traditional Christmas greeting to the Roman Curia (1), Maledict told them that they must reflect on the church's culpability in its child sex-abuse scandal, while he also blamed a secular society in which he said the mistreatment of children was frighteningly common.
Firstly - If in the secular society the mistreatment of children is frighteningly common, it is because the Evangelization by the institution charged with it failed miserably. Because the power structure of the Roman Catholic Church has become fully centralized in the hands of the Bishop of Rome and the Roman Curia, the fault squarely falls on the Church Administration of the last 1600 years.
Secondly - The real issue is not the statistically miniscule fraction of priests involved in said debauchery. The real issue is the statistically substantial percentage of Bishops, Archbishops and Cardinals who covered this defilement of souls using the method that would cause the most harm: rotating the pedophile priests from unsuspecting parish to unsuspecting parish. Maledict has been aware of this, at least from the beginning of his career in the hierarchy.
On top of that, some of the most notable prelates who led the cover-up have been rewarded handsomely by the Vatican. Cardinal Law (2) was given tutelage of the Holiest of Marian Basilicas, Santa Maria Majore, by John Paul II. Archbishop Levada (3) was made Cardinal, and given the Prefecture of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, by Maledict.
Then Maledict has the unmitigated gall to remind his listeners of the alleged vision of Saint Hildegard of Bingen in 1170. She supposedly saw a lady, representing the Church, stained with the sins of the priests. We quote:
Christ’s wounds remain open because of the sins of priests.
They tear my robe, since they are violators of the Law, the Gospel and their own priesthood; they
darken my cloak by neglecting, in every way, the precepts which they are meant to uphold; my shoes
too are blackened, since priests do not keep to the straight paths of justice, which are hard and
rugged, or set good examples to those beneath them.
Somehow, Maledict forgets the most disgraceful men (4) who occuppied the Chair of Peter, not to mention the thousands upon thousands of Bishops and Cardinals who throughout the last 1600 years have raped and plundered Christianity at will.
Maledict seems to have forgotten that:
There was a holy monk - Joachim of Fiore (c.1135 - 1202) - born in the Kingdom of Sicily who had already labeled the Church as the "scandalous Babylon".
It was Francis of Assisi who Jesus Christ, from the cross, asked to repair His Church at the turn of the 13th century. (One does not need to repair something that is not broken!)
It was Mary (as Our Lady of La Salette) who, in 1846 said: (5)
The priests, ministers of my Son, the priests, by their wicked
lives, by their irreverence and their impiety in the celebration of the holy mysteries, by their
love of money, their love of honors and pleasures, the priests have become cesspools of impurity.
Yes, the priests are asking for vengeance, and vengeance is hanging over their heads. Woe to the
priests and to those dedicated to God who by their unfaithfulness and their wicked lives are
crucifying my son again! The sins of those dedicated to God cry out towards Heaven and call for
vengeance, and now vengeance is at their door, for there is no one left to beg mercy and
forgiveness for the people. There are no more generous souls, there is no one left worthy of
offering a stainless sacrifice to the Eternal God for the sake of the world.
It was Mary (as Rosa Mystica) who, in 1947 said: (6)
Those who have given their souls to God - the religious who, for
a long time now, have become indifferent thus betraying their vocation and as a result of their
offenses have brought about the punishments and persecutions which are raging against the Church
at the present time - will stop to offend Our Lord. They will again lead a life according to the
original spirit of their saintly founders.
Mary’s manifestation as Rosa Mystica was specifically addressing the state of the clergy and religious orders. However, it was ignored – just as the corrupt Church Administration has, for centuries, ignored any and all efforts by Heaven to bring renewal to them.
It was Mary (as Our Lady of Mt. Carmel at Garabandal) who, in 1965 said: (7)
Before, the cup was filling up. Now it is flowing over. Many
cardinals, many bishops and many priests are on the road to perdition and are taking many souls
with them. Less and less importance is being given to the Eucharist. You should turn the wrath of
God away from yourselves by your efforts. If you ask His forgiveness with sincere hearts, He will
pardon you.
No, we do not doubt that these men are the Successors of the Apostles. But neither do we doubt that most of them have belonged to the succession line of Judas Iscariot, who was also chosen as an Apostle.
The only penance that God will accept from the vipers who administer the Roman Catholic Church is the removal from office of all Bishops, Archbishops and Cardinals (Ratzinger included) who by their cover up activities allowed this holocaust of souls to proceed unchecked.
Of course, they will not do so. And it is this that we want the Faithful to remember when they see Babylon the Great razed to the ground. The Church Administrators earned it!
How will God do it? That is His business, not ours. Ours is to announce it in His Name; His is to execute it.

Year 2010 - One of the deadliest years for natural disasters
Did you know that... the year 2010 was the deadliest year for natural disasters in more than a generation? (1)(2)
This was the year the Earth struck back.
Earthquakes, heat waves, floods, volcanoes, super typhoons, blizzards, landslides and droughts killed at least a quarter million people in 2010 — the deadliest year in more than a generation. More people were killed worldwide by natural disasters this year than have been killed in terrorism attacks in the past 40 years combined.
"It just seemed like it was back-to-back and it came in waves," said Craig Fugate, who heads the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency. It handled a record number of disasters in 2010.
"The term '100-year event' really lost its meaning this year."

A mystery unmanned Air Force space plane - The X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle
...a mystery unmanned Air Force space plane that spent seven months in orbit returned to Earth two weeks ago? (1)
[our highlights]
The X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle was scheduled to land at Vandenberg Air Force Base northwest of Los
Angeles sometime between Friday (December 3rd) and Monday (December 6th), depending on the weather
and other factors.
The X-37B resembles a small space shuttle. Since it launched in April, space enthusiasts have speculated about its ultimate purpose. The Air Force has said the space plane was to serve as a test platform for unspecified experiments.
Hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent on the X-37 program, but the current total hasn't been released.

Force, intolerance and violence is not the right answer to One-World Religion
Do you wonder... whether opposition to a new One-World Religion (1) means support for religious intolerance and violence?
In his book False Dawn, (2) Lee Penn explains why this is not so:
Opposition to force, fraud, enticement, and manipulation in the name of religion is the one thing
that the United Religions Initiative is right about. As the Catechism of the Catholic Church says,
“One may not do evil so that good may result from it.”
Christ himself firmly rebuked his disciples for considering use of force against those who rejected him: “And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem, And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him. And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem. And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, ‘Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?’ But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, ‘Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. For the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.’ And they went to another village.” [Luke 9:51-56, KJV]

The doctrine of total war, the year 1864 and La Salette Prophecy
From (Mr.) RBB @ Spain
It seems very interesting that this Fall, in North America, began with a great and bright moon ("Super Harvest Moon" on Sept. 22th, Autumn equinox) (1) and now ends with a bloodstained and dark moon ("Solstice Lunar Eclipse" on Dec. 21th). (2)
Looking for some symbolic historic event, I found this: (3) (4)
... in 1864 ... The doctrine of total war was introduced.
..... in the American Civil War (1861-1865), the campaign of the Union Army under General William Tecumseh Sherman to march across Georgia, from the city of Atlanta to the Atlantic Coast. ..... the soldiers engaged in organized plunder. In addition to seizing foodstuffs and livestock for the army, the soldiers destroyed 369 mi of railroads, burned bridges and public buildings, plundered private homes, and engaged in wanton vandalism. The march, at the rate of 12 to 15 mi a day, cut a swath 40 to 80 mi wide through the richest section of Georgia. On December 23 the army reached Savannah, which surrendered without a fight in time for Sherman to present it to President Abraham Lincoln as a "Christmas gift."

A poll - The belief that God created humans or guided the development of humans
Did you know that... a recent Gallup Poll indicates that 40 % of Americans believe God created humans in their present form about 10,000 years ago, 38 % believe God guided a process by which humans developed over millions of years from less advanced life forms, while 16% believe humans developed over millions of years, without God's involvement? (1) (The remaining 6% offered other answers to the question, or had no opinion.)
The M+G+R Foundation comments: This is good news! Viewed under the light granted by God through the Real Creation Time Line (2) - 40 + 38 = 78 % of Americans are essentially right about Creation. That is, of those who responded to this poll, approximately 83 % see the correct Divine action in Creation, vs. the 17 % who disavow God.

A. Thank you for the information. We take note that again the "almighty and all-knowing" scientists continue to be swamped by "mysterious" events.

Lunar Eclipse in the Winter Solstice
Have you heard that... winter in the Northern Hemisphere is beginning in a special way? (1) (2)
The luster will be a bit "off" on December 21st, the first day of northern winter (the winter
solstice), when the full Moon passes almost dead-center through Earth's shadow. For 72 minutes of
eerie totality, an amber light will play across the snows of North America, throwing landscapes
into an unusual state of ruddy shadow.
The eclipse begins on Tuesday morning, Dec. 21st, at 1:33 am EST (Monday, Dec. 20th, at 10:33 pm PST). At that time, Earth's shadow will appear as a dark-red bite at the edge of the lunar disk. It takes about an hour for the "bite" to expand and swallow the entire Moon. Totality commences at 02:41 am EST (11:41 pm PST) and lasts for 72 minutes.

[Feast of Mary's
Expectation]
The symbolic time-line of the generation of Jesus in Matthew 1
Are you aware that... the counting of the generations, up to that of Jesus, that we read in Matthew 1:1-17 is a strictly numerical exercise to define the Time-Line of the generation of Jesus, and not any implication whatsoever that Jesus was a blood relative of Joseph?
We know that the above comment may sound to many the same as if we were proclaiming that the Earth is a spheroid and not a flat table - however, you'd be surprised at how many people, symbolically speaking, fall for the flat Earth theory even though they may have believed before that it was a spheroid.
which brings us to...
The fabrication of a story on the Third Secret of Fatima related to the year 1980
...a demonstration how fables are fabricated and then become gospels.
In this case we are dealing with the alleged statement made by Pope John Paul II at Fulda, Germany on November of 1980, regarding the third part of the Secret of Fatima. The October 1981 issue of the German magazine Stimme des Glaubens reported on a discussion that Pope John Paul II had with a select group of German Catholics, in November of 1980. The following is a verbatim report (1)(2) of the discussion:
Part of the text of the published report
The Holy Father was asked, "What about the Third Secret of Fatima? Should it not have already been published by 1960?"
Pope John Paul II replied: "Given the seriousness of the contents, my predecessors in the Petrine office diplomatically preferred to postpone publication so as not to encourage the world power of Communism to make certain moves."
"On the other hand, it should be sufficient for all Christians to know this: if there is a message in which it is written that the oceans will flood whole areas of the earth, and that from one moment to the next millions of people will perish, truly the publication of such a message is no longer something to be so much desired."

Those well familiar with the John Paul II and the Fatima phenomena know that:
(a) The attempt to assassinate John Paul II took place on May
13, 1981
(b) Because of the significance of the date, he was alerted to the possible connection between Fatima and his life being saved.
(c) It was during his convalescent period that he, for the first time, studied the documents related to Fatima at the Vatican
(b) Because of the significance of the date, he was alerted to the possible connection between Fatima and his life being saved.
(c) It was during his convalescent period that he, for the first time, studied the documents related to Fatima at the Vatican
It logically follows that he could not have made those statements on November 1980 - statements that are obvious fabrications made to lend credibility to some unofficial and highly creative versions of the third part of the Secret of Fatima.
We have published all that needs to be published about the Fatima issue, while always deferring to the Holy Spirit of God regarding what our readers should have access to.

The prominent position of a priest who in the past was involved in a child molestation
From (Mr.) IW @ US
Are you aware that....
"Two years ago, US
Catholic officials secretly paid a six-figure settlement to a man who he (KP) molested as a
child years ago by a Catholic figure. Later, that employee became a priest. And today,
that predator is a prominent Jesuit priest who continues
to work for the church in Rome. Fr. Keith Pecklers
(1) ... is
now a prominent Jesuit scholar. A professor of liturgy
at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome, he has written, contributed to or edited nine
books, according to his Facebook page, and is a frequent commentator on Vatican affairs for
American media outlets, including the sex abuse scandals."
(2)
"Fr. Pecklers, who began teaching at the Pontifical Liturgical Institute in 1996, is also an adjunct professor of fundamental liturgy at Pontifical Gregorian University. He was deacon of the Sacred Heart Parish at the University of Notre Dame and a teacher of religious studies at Xavier High School in New York City." (3)(4)

He was deacon of the Sacred Heart Parish at the University of Notre Dame and a teacher of religious studies at Xavier High School in New York City." (3)(4)
Pecklers' stature in the Gregorian University Foundation (5), along with his work in the Pontifical Liturgical Institute (6), places him very close to both Cardinal Levada and Msgr. Guido Marini (Papal Master of Ceremonies and media manipulation expert). Peckler is thus within 'touching distance' of Ratzinger himself. Such status and teaching authority, as well as being a media spokesman, indicates far more than a mere 'rubber stamp' approval.
(Mr.) IW
Xavier High School in New York City is a very prestigious college prep school whose
graduates include some elite persons. Like Justice Scalia of the Supreme Court, and prominent
churchmen; e.g.:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Francis_Flannelly
A. No, we were not aware of that situation but is not surprising at all.
Nothing has changed with the core behavior of Church Administration since the Fifth Century. It will not change until Jesus Christ razes it to the ground so that it may resurrect (1) as He intended it to be - a Glorious Institution instead of a den of thieves, which had been labeled already as Babylon the Great by Joachim of Fiore a holy monk of the 12th century. (2) (3)

A Polish priest laments the condition of the Polish Catholic Church

It refers to the letter to the Vatican’s nuncio in Poland, archbishop Celestin Migliore written by father Ludwik Wiśniewski, a legendary priest in communist times. In the letter, Wiśniewski laments the condition of the Polish Catholic Church, stressing that some members of the episcopate support apparently Catholic initiatives which in fact are “pagan as they inflame and divide the society and the Church itself”.
What is more, half of the Polish priests are “infected with xenophobia, nationalism and coyly hidden antisemitism”. Father Wiśniewski also accuses his colleagues of not knowing “how to communicate with the constantly changing world” and of “blurring the boundaries between the Gospel and politics”. 14 December 2010 Gazeta Wyborcza Warsaw

The Vatican, planning to be self sufficient in electrical power supply in preparation for the world chaos
From miguel de Portugal @ EU - US
If we were planning to launch the False Christ from the seat of the Anti Christ - The Vatican - what would be one of the highest priorities in our "To Do List"?
Considering that: (a) it is from the Vatican that the necessary world chaos is being orchestrated; (b) the Vatican must navigate through such chaos up to the perfect time for enacting of the falsified Second Coming of Christ; and (c) the Vatican would be the nerve center of the world wide actions of the False Christ....
....The Vatican would need to be 100 % energy self sufficient. That is - their electrical power supply would have to be totally independent from anyone on Earth.
Welcome to the 100 % totally energy independent Vatican......
With the completion of a € 500 million, 100-megawatt solar
photovoltaic installation, Vatican City - the 0.2-square-mile country tucked snugly inside Rome -
is now able to provide power to its 900 full-time residents using only the
sun.
"The Vatican has reached a small record in solar energy power production per capita: 200 watts at peak times... per inhabitant, compared to 80 in Germany, the world leader in this field," declared L'Osservatore Romano.
By comparison, Italy produces just four watts per capita from solar energy. (1)
"The Vatican has reached a small record in solar energy power production per capita: 200 watts at peak times... per inhabitant, compared to 80 in Germany, the world leader in this field," declared L'Osservatore Romano.
By comparison, Italy produces just four watts per capita from solar energy. (1)
[Note: The indented paragraphs printed in green is purely technical and may be skipped without losing the thrust of the message]
Considering that the cost of electricity in Italy for 2009
was 0.224 €/kW-h [kilowatt-hour]
(2)
it does not seem justifiable to spend a capital of 500 million € (Euros) at a time when the
world economy is in the biggest slump since the Great Depression of the 1930s. After all
…
It is easy to estimate the cost of the Vatican buying its power from the same sources that other Italians do, and then to compare this “buy power” expense to the capital cost that the Vatican is incurring by generating its own solar power.
200 watts per capita power production at peak times is equal to 0.2 kilowatt-hours (kW-h). Thus, if the whole amount of power were used, it would cost 0.2 kW-h X 0.224 €/kW-h = 0.0448 € per hour per capita. (That is about six cents in US currency.)
Now if all 900 full-time residents would consume the full 200 watts in one hour, it would cost: 0.0448 € X 900 = 40.32 € per hour.
Considering that there are about 365 x 24 = 8,760 hours per year, it would cost the Vatican 40.32 € per hour x 8,760 hours per year = 353,203 € per year for its entire full time population using electricity at peak levels.
Therefore, to recover the expenditure/investment of 500 million €, assuming no maintenance cost, it would take: 500,000,000 € / 353,203 € per year = 1,416 years assuming constant energy cost. If we instead assume that the energy price would double to 0.448 €/KWh, it would cost the Vatican €706,406 to buy all its energy from Italy. Even with such an annual power bill, it would still take about 708 years for the Vatican’s electric bills to equal what that they have paid to generate their own solar power.

Any way one looks at this situation - the "Handwriting on the wall" seems to confirm all that has been announced for years regarding the manifestation of the False Christ and how close we are to it.

NOTES
(1) If you are a new visitor, you may get the I'dea
(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 saI'd "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.
