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.

- Pope says churches in West look to be dying

Selected Quotes:
(Highlighting
by The M+G+R Foundation)
"The Pope blamed a change in social
attitudes
in the 1960s
for the Church's decline in the West, referring to what he
termed a "second enlightenment" of 1968, the year of the
so-called 'summer of love' and student and worker protests.
Mainstream churches in the West appear to
be dying as societies that are increasingly secular see less
need for God, Pope Benedict said in comments published on
Wednesday.
His outlook was even glummer than that of his predecessor
John Paul, who lamented the decline of faith in the developed
world and said it explained the Catholic Church's struggle with
falling attendance in the West in recent years.
Benedict said many developing countries were, by contrast,
enjoying a a
springtime for faith."
The
M+G+R Foundation Comments
As usual, Rome blames everything and everyone but itself
for their
failures without realizing that with
such excuses they are, in essence, ascribing greater power to satan
than the Divine power that is at our disposal through the Catholic
Faith.
Such witnessing and deference, by default, to a greater power
than God's - is the
real abomination of desolation.
Frankly, we would not be the least concerned about comments,
pronouncements, pontifications, etc. coming out of the Vatican. Their
spiritual clout - the so called "Keys of Heaven" - for some time
already has been reduced to just
dispensing the Sacraments
which have
been protected by God for His children for the End of
These Times.
Our concern - a concern that we must address since
it is for such
reason that we exist - is that the continuing antics of the Roman
Catholic
Church Administration are devastating the little Faith left. It is
amazing that Benedict XVI does not realize what went wrong,
first, then
second and then
third - in essence - what has
caused what he is
complaining about. They are even blind to see
what really works
within their midst.
Of course "... many developing countries were, by contrast,
enjoying a a
springtime for faith."
In underdeveloped cultures is where the Evangelization by deceit,
brainwash and manipulation through fear works best - the only
Evangelization that Rome has practiced since
the Church of Jesus Christ
was sold to Constantine. This is precisely why Leo XIII was
so
concerned about the dangers of modernism. What he was concerned about
was that people were becoming educated and being able to think for
themselves.
How sad that the root of true and unshakable Faith takes hold on
the minds of the educated
once
they realize that all that Rome has been doing since the time
of Constantine is playing the "Wizard of Oz" and the True Faith is not
at fault or deficient. By now
the reader
should know where we stand
regarding the Catholic Faith and that is
in spite of Rome and not
because of Rome. Our ability to
See and
Hear through the Grace of God
has assisted us in our Faith Journey - certainly not Rome!
Remember, the Church was created for man
(to
assist man in his journey
back to the Father), not man created for the Church. Man was
created
for God!
We pray that we may be of help to each and everyone one of you to
strengthen you Faith or to come back to it...
in spite of Rome!

(Underscoring/Highlighting

"NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 20,
2005--Program distributor CABLEready and producer Great Projects Film
Company have joined forces to develop DECODING OPUS DEI, a major
television special that will
explore the truth behind the real-world controversial Catholic group
that figures prominently in Dan Brown's blockbuster novel The Da Vinci
Code.
Plans call for DECODING OPUS
DEI to debut in May 2006 in conjunction with the worldwide premiere of
Ron Howard's highly anticipated feature film based on the novel
and starring Tom Hanks.
Granted unprecedented and
exclusive access to Opus Dei, the producers will tell the
group's story from its founding in 1928 by Josemaria Escriva, a poor
small-town Spanish priest, to the group's infamous portrayal in The Da
Vinci Code - and will explain why it has become a lightning rod for
conspiracy theories, criticism and even hatred.
Great Projects Film Company, Inc.. is an Emmy-winning, Academy
Award-nominated independent production company based in New York City.
Great Projects has produced many hours of primetime national
programming for PBS and cable networks, such as A&E, Discovery
Channel, History Channel and AMC. CABLEready, based in Norwalk,
CT, is the television industry's premiere independent program
representation firm with clients located across the globe.
The
M+G+R Foundation Comments
We do not cease to thank and Praise God for His continued assistance in
the function He
has called m de P to fulfill.
As the reading may recall, in our document -
The
Real
Decoding of Brown's Da Vinci Code May be Found in the Real Purpose of
the Book. - we proposed that the real purpose of the
book
was to give an unequaled, free and worldwide opportunity to
Escrivá's Opus Dei machinery to present itself pure and holy as
a dove and the victim of outright slander. An effort that otherwise
would have cost them tremendous amount of money and would have been
viewed as a damage control PR.
As we have pointed out in other writings, and which is patently obvious
in our document highlighting
St. John
Bosco's
trajectory, the "False
Christ is to Christ as Escrivá is to St. John Bosco".
We have just read the following in a well documented (and not tampered
with yet) biography of Don Bosco:
"That
same afternoon (February 8, 1870) he (Pius IX) called him again (they
had already spent time in the AM) to talk with him some more about the
Salesians. He (P IX) told him that in the Council (Vat I) a bishop had
discussed the necessity of a religious society whose members were bound
before the Church but went about as true free citizens (*); then
another bishop (from Parma) had intervened in the discussion to state
thus:
"I
have the pleasure to be able to inform you that such Society does exist
already... and it is the Salesians." This caused all present to break
into an applause, without excluding those who have caused the most
difficulties for the approval of such Society."
(*) It is hard to explain
what is meant but, as we delve into the details of this situation, the
best we can describe it is as follows: You must have heard us say that
we do not need to legislate morals; that we need to form souls, then
laws would not be needed to prevent crimes such as abortion, adultery,
etc. because the well formed souls would not even consider this. As
those souls spread - like good salt - they would naturally, without
coercion or brainwash, "infect" others with such edifying behavior.
We make this distinction because
Opus Dei, Legionnaires of Christ/Regnum Christi, etc. people are
led to believe that they are free citizens - you'd would be amazed at
the brainwash technique we can see in the training manual of Regnum
Christi - when they are only zombies following preprogrammed orders.
Therefore, true children of God, do not
lose heart with these "triumphs" of the Opus Dei Administration - just
as we know how the pull the strings from behind the scenes, we also
know
how they will end.

- The First Three Months of Benedict XVI: New
Pope, New Style - July 15, 2005 - Espressolinoe
Selected Quotes:
(Underscoring/Highlighting
by The M+G+R Foundation)
"There has also been a change in
the wind at the Vatican press office. Joaquín Navarro-Valls has
been confirmed as director, but he does not have with Benedict XVI the
direct and osmotic relationship that he had with John Paul II. He can no longer permit himself to model
and amplify the pope's gestures, statements, and performance. He
knows that the newly elected pope wants to control and make very modest
use of his own image and public exposure.
Navarro still has his
relationship with the secretariat of state, which he depends upon by
statute. But in the course
of three months he has already had two mishaps. The first was connected
with the apparent denial of a preliminary Vatican investigation into
accusations of sexual abuse made against the founder of the Legionaries
of Christ, Marcial Maciel. The second involved the adjective
"anti-Christian," which was initially applied to the terrorist attack
in London on July 7 and later removed. Neither case was a shining
example of clarity in communication from the Vatican press office or
the secretariat of state.
Navarro was the
Jack-of-all-trades when it came to the books published by Karol Wojtyla
while he was pope. Not with Benedict
XVI."
The
M+G+R Foundation Comments
We thank and Praise God for His continued assistance in the function He
has called m de P to fulfill. The above is nothing less that
concrete confirmation of some of what we have been waning the Faithful
for some
time regarding the staged-by-Navarro-Valls Pontificate of H.H. John
Paul II.
First through
our
defense of H.H. John Paul II. Then through the clear
explanation of
his
trajectory. We have described
Dr.
Navarro-Valls
using his own words - something that should have awaken the
heaviest
"sleeper" and have clearly shown the reality of those most publicized
books
allegedly
written by H.H. John Paul II.
If in spite all the confirmation that continues to pour forth through
the Grace of God, many of the Faithful continue to adhere to
denial. He will
continue to confirm, through various events, that what m de P has
announced, has been on His Command, and not the result of a deranged
mind as
the disoriented
secretary of the Marian Movement of Priests
wrote. God will continue do so to the extent needed - up to
and
including the blinding lights resulting from
Step
No. 1. The reality of
Fátima was confirmed by a supernatural miracle witnessed by ca.
70,000 individuals, yet,
it
was and still is denied by many.
However, Step No. 1, which was made public when the U.S. and
Russia were at the height of their nuclear disarmament honeymoon - with
the celebration having taken place on June 17, 1991 in the Rose Garden
of the White House, will be very, very difficult to deny - most
specially since m de P will have as much direct control over that as
Lucía had over the Miracle of the Sun in October 13, 1917 - none!

- Blind Eye Unto the Holy See - July 13, 2005 - SF Weekly
Selected Quotes: (Underscoring/Highlighting
by The M+G+R Foundation)
During the 2002 U.S. Conference of
Catholic Bishops in Dallas
-- at
the height of public outrage over the clergy sex-abuse scandal -- San
Francisco Archbishop William J. Levada projected himself as a reformer
on the abuse issue,
chastising some fellow bishops for not doing enough
to remove miscreant priests from their domains.
In the end, the
conference voted to remove from ministry any priest who had sexually
abused a minor, even if the abuse occurred far in the past. Afterward,
however, the late Pope John Paul II felt the bishops' reforms were too
severe and appointed Levada to help reconcile them with Vatican policy.
The archbishop, in turn, asked Father Gregory Ingels, a prominent
canon
lawyer and a longtime Levada favorite, to help write the
guidelines for
a "zero tolerance" sex-abuse policy that the pope could later sign off
on.
In this ironic way, American bishops now
follow a program for
dealing
with sex-abuse complaints that was significantly influenced by two men:
A
Catholic priest and lawyer (Father Gregory Ingels) who has
had two serious sexual-abuse cases
filed against him -- one of which the church
recently agreed to settle
by paying an alleged victim $2.7 million.
And an archbishop who has helped shield
the lawyer/priest for
nine
years -- and who has now been appointed to what many consider to be the
Roman Catholic Church's second most powerful position.
The
M+G+R Foundation Comments
Brethren, the article is lengthy and very, very hard on the soul. The
only comment that we have is that the Church Administration has gone
from openly abusive to disgustingly revolting, but, then again, why
would God see
the need
to raze it to the ground otherwise?
I pray to God that each and every one of you remember the contents of
this particular article - as just
one example - so that you may fully understand the Divine Reasoning
behind
what God Will allow upon them as it manifests before the eyes of
mankind.
Come Lord Jesus!
P.S. Since it is obvious that to trust your children to those who were
intended to be their shepherds
would
be a
dereliction of parental
duties, we suggest that you visit the
Bishop' s Accountability
Site and
draw your own conclusions regarding the "safety" of a particular Bishop
in the U.S. as the need may arise.

- Vatican Criticizes Catholics on Communion - Thu Jul 7, 2005 -
AP
NOTE: For the convenience of the reader
The
M+G+R Foundation Comments will be
intertwined with the news report in purple italic.
Selected Quotes:
The Vatican singled out divorcees who remarry and Catholic
politicians who support abortion on Thursday in criticizing the
faithful who continue to receive Holy Communion while in a state of
mortal sin.
Our
position on the matrimony/divorce issue has
been clearly presented
already and we restate: If there was no valid Sacrament of
Matrimony,
there is "nothing" that should be of the concern of the Roman Catholic
Church, except a well deserved malpractice lawsuit, of course.
Why
do they
keep avoiding the issue? Because if there was no valid Sacrament of
Matrimony it was the fault of the parish priest who did not discharge
his
holy duties in properly preparing spiritually the couple
before entering in such serious Sacrament. A "Church Wedding" is not the guarantor of
entering the Sacrament of Matrimony.... even if they paid their
monetary fees....
On
the other hand - Roman Catholic politicians have to be very clear and careful
in whether they support abortion or
the right of the individual to have
an abortion - there is a vast difference between one and another.
Once
again, the Church Administrators, refusing to learn
what God taught them again
through the long life
and fruitful work of St. John Bosco, want to assign the "abortion
blame" to everyone else but themselves. That is - have
recourse to civil law (the Law of Caesar) to compensate for the abysmal
failure of a 2000 year Evangelization effort. Nothing has changed - the
same
Inquisition mentality.
The lament came in a new document on the Eucharist that details
abuses of the sacrament and the need for better instruction to ensure
it remains sacred.
The paper covers a range of issues related to the Eucharist: ...that
Latin be used during international
liturgical gatherings so all priests involved can understand the
proceedings, ....that parishes consider using more
Gregorian chants to prevent more "profane" types of music from being
played.
Thanks
be to God! The Administrator's disorientation has had a lapse and now
they
speak with
clarity - in both instances:
Latin should be used in International
Liturgical Proceedings and no more "Honky Tonk" music in Mass!
It calls for priests not to be "showmen" who draw attention to
themselves and says lay people can have an important but "minimal"
presence in Masses. It says the tabernacle — which holds the bread and
wine held by Catholics to be the body and blood of Christ — should have
a prominent place in the church and not be shunted off to a corner.
Praised Be
Jesus! Another lapse in their blindness for the Glory of God!
.... the document laments the fact that fewer
and fewer Catholics are going to Mass on Sundays — in some countries,
only 5 percent of the faithful attend — and that fewer Catholics are
going to confession.
Darkness
has set in again. Why? Because the Church
Administrators
are the ones
to be blamed for this and, when it is their fault, they will play
dumb
and lie until the lie is finally believed as truth.
This
lie-turned-into-truth technique brings to
mind when
they send their duly convinced "Holy Ones" to sack Orthodox Christian
Constantinople
to punish them for "their heresies".
Incidentally,
"those
heretics-deserving-to-be-sacked" Christians still
use
the Byzantine Liturgy which far surpasses in Splendor and Holiness the
overly venerated and over-rated Tridentine Mass; therefore, they never
had to deal with
the Honky Tonk music problem in their Divine Liturgy ("Divine
Liturgy"
is what "those heretics" call what the "Holy Ones" from Rome just
call "Mass").
How can they
expect respect? They do not even respect themselves!
.....many Catholics are living in a state of mortal sin when
they receive Communion, it said.
What
about the clergy officiating the Mass? Don't their mortal sins
count?
Get the plank out of your eye, Rome, and then you can Shepherd as you
were intended to.
It noted that confession isn't always
available to the faithful
because of the acute shortage of priests in parts of the globe, but
said the sacrament nevertheless was necessary. It cited statistics
showing there was one priest for every 1,797 Catholics in 1978 compared
to one priest for every 2,677 Catholics in 2003.
Don
Bosco never had a problem with having boys to voluntarily - not through
brainwashing - chose the priesthood. Why? He truly represented the
Will
of God as manifested through true piety and love for his boys. Love,
mind you, not
lust!
Give Rome some
time and they will blame the lack of vocations on hole in the ozone
layer.
The document, "The Eucharist: source and summit of the life and
mission of the church," was written starting in 2004...
...stresses that it is not a theological treatise on the
Eucharist and in fact it restates church teaching on most key issues.
Just in case
they have to back down or add to it, they are leaving the back door
open with "...stresses that it is not a theological
treatise..." After all, "When
money talks, Rome listens!"
In one section, for example, the document criticized the faithful
who support Catholic politicians who themselves back abortion and other
policies contrary to church teaching.
What
do they expect? The Church Administration set the examples. The Church
backs men who do not support Teachings of God - teachings from the Old (1)
and New (2) Testaments.
Obedience to God , always, and without a single exception,
pre empt obedience to the Church or any man made organization. Peter
himself taught us that (3), or is the "new Vatican party
line" that the original Peter was fallible but his successors are
infallible, thus we must obey man over God?
In Conclusion: What part of
the above, Church Administrators, don't you understand?
We can answer that question for them: All
of it! Why? Our Lady
appearing in La Salette, France, said it in no
uncertain words:
"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.
The chiefs, the leaders of the people of
God have neglected prayer and penance, and the devil has bedimmed their
intelligence. They have become wandering stars which the old devil will
drag along with his tail to make them perish.

through
World Wars I and II
dates. This time, we assure you, there will
not be for opportunity for retrospection. Are we being
pessimistic? Is
the
