Cardinal
Joseph Ratzinger's election at the final conclave
From Various
@ Worldwide
Q. The following is a "composite question" from
several recent e-contacts with The M+G+R Foundation regarding Cardinal
Joseph Ratzinger's election at the final conclave.
You said that he was the last
legitimate pope of our time. How would that tie in with Benedict XVI?
There is no doubt that Satan has infiltrated the hearts and minds of a
great many people in the Church, including those given the great
responsibility of governing it. But this man like you have said after
your trip to the Vatican was selected 'by the active will of God', so
this would surely indicate that he is a legitimate successor to John
Paul II.
In accordance to what you wrote, is Joseph Ratzinger an impostor?
Could our new Pope be a False Prophet, elected to the throne by the
Illuminati?
Studying what you wrote about the active and passive Will of God, it
would seem to me that the Active Will of God wills for what is perfect.
God would not will for a pope who is not the true successor of Peter,
or who is the “antichrist” – WOULD HE? Jesus did not will for Judas to
betray Him.
I would feel better if on some points that did not turn out to be
exactly as you claimed they would be, according to you private
revelation, you would acknowledge you were mistaken. Somehow I don't
think that will happen because I see many times that you explain it by
saying that you already knew it and God used it to show something, etc.
Various
A. We understand that many issues are hard to
understand/comprehend. We strongly suggest that the moment anyone
encounters such difficulty, even after seeking the Illumination of the
Holy Spirit of God, it would be best to "drop it" and focus your
attention on prayer and acts of reparation.
The fact that in the last election the Active Will of God was
fulfilled, does not make either Cardinal Ratzinger a bad or undesirable
man nor it takes away the reality that Karol Wojtyla was originally
elected as the last Pope.
About this we will only clarify as follows: As we have have stated
elsewhere openly or hinted through the usage of veiled terminology –
Karol Wojtyla was elected as Pope John Paul II, however, that does
not mean that when he died he was still the Pope.
Man cannot supersede God's Will by performing this or that prescribed
ritual. God always has the Last Word and when men abuse His Goodness He will do whatever is
necessary to protect His children and confound the enemy. As we have
pointed out before – towards the end of the Papal sequence, there was
going to be one last true successor of Peter and one more historical
Pope.
Jesus Christ —as God and as man— through His Active Will appointed
Judas Iscariot as an Apostle, even though He knew that Judas was going
to betray Him.
As an act of charity, we will comment upon the outright accusation that
if miguel de Portugal were to make a mistake (which he does – after
all, not even Peter was infallible all the time [Galatians
2: 11-21]) he would not admit it.
One glaring example of the banality of such accusation may be found in
an official letter, which was sent
worldwide to scientific centers via regular air mail, acknowledging
having made a prediction without the appropriate permission from God –
a prediction which, of course was wrong because there was a change of plans.
God in His Merciful Goodness salvaged m de P's credibility before such
a large scientific forum through an astronomical event that is
described in the letter. That did not make the error less – it just
made us better appreciate the Loyalty, Support and Mercy of God toward
those who leave a life, as few have ever experienced, to follow Him – no
questions asked.
Lastly – we want everyone to keep very clear in mind a section from m de P's brief biography:
Should you believe what miguel de
Portugal says through the pages of The
M+G+R Foundation?
You do not have to. What is written is only for
those who have eyes to see and have ears to hear. Woe to miguel if
he does not speak loud and clear. Nothing has changed in the manner in
which God has communicate with His children in the last 6,000 years.
Unless God Wills otherwise – we consider this case closed lest we fall
in an old and well used trap used by satan and which, through the Grace
of God, we have learned to recognize soon.

Questions
about: - Fr. Nicholas Gruner - The apparitions at Garabandal - Rick
Salbato's Unity Publishing
From TJSMIT @ USA
Q. I sometimes come to your site to read your
articles on Marian Apparitions. I have a couple questions:
-What is your stance on the work of
Fr. Nicholas Gruner and his Fatima Crusader Apostolate?
-Also, regarding the apparitions at Garabandal, Spain, what is your
response to a site like the one hosted by Rick Salbato? [This question
was also asked by CH @ Australia]
Submitted
by Two Individuals - An Ocean Apart
A. Regarding Rev. Nicholas Gruner – We are quite
(very) familiar with him and his ministry and this is our comment:
Rev. Gruner's self appointed mission has been to, literally, hound His
Holiness John Paul II to consecrate Russia to the Immaculate Heart of
Mary as it was requested through the Fátima events. According to Rev.
Nicholas Gruner, such action would prevent the nuclear holocaust that
will take place.
As we have shown with actual documents — Attachment
I and Attachment II — the timing for
such consecration lapsed well before World War II erupted and Sr. Lucía
was informed about that as we have also shown. However, this does not
mean that Rev. Gruner is not well intended. We understand his plight
and feel sorry and pray for him.
Regarding Mr. Rick Salbato's Unity Publishing. Once again – we know
that Mr. Salbato is well intentioned and has amply proven so. We have
also witnessed how he has been abused, slandered and close to have been
physically hurt. However, this does not make his publications correct.
We have already published a
clarification regarding the dissemination of erroneous information
about Garabandal.
As of our last information Mr. Salbato is Opus Dei friendly. Any one
friendly of Opus Dei, Legionnaires of Christ, and other sects within
the Roman Catholic Church, by nature are anti-Garabandal. Why? Because
each of those sects claim "to be the one"
who will save the Church and the World.
As the information through Garabandal and Roman Catholic Church
approved Akita tells the faithful: "The party
is over!"
God gave the Administration of His Church ample opportunities since 1830 to correct the failed
Evangelization they claim to have conducted. The Church Administrators
made a business of the Marian Apparitions and the world continued to
descend into a hell-like state.
Now God will directly intervene. Whether some of the Faithful and self
appointed prophets and Divine mouthpieces chose to deny it or not is
completely outside our area of responsibility since they have already been warned of how painful
it will be for them to Hear.

The meaning
of "Active Will" and "Passive Will" of God
From No Name @ Australia
Q. I know I might have read about the "Active Will"
and "Passive Will" of God somewhere previously as one of your
explanations but I just cannot remember and I am hoping you will
clarify this point for all of us old people out there with bad memories.
Could you possibly enlarge on that
phrase to help with the confusion surrounding choices recently made.
Thank you for being there for the masses and helping us try to
understand what is happening.
No Name
A. Thank you for your question which, if you notice,
has been given top priority.
We have addressed the meaning of "Active Will" and "Passive Will" of
God in the April 11th posting of our News
Commentary. More details may also be found at Open Letter to Joaquín Navarro Valls -
Spokesman, The Vatican and Divination and
Healing... and What About God?
For future reference we suggest the use of our Domain Search Engine
which may be found in our Board of Updates.
Mad memory: Nothing to be embarrassed about... we use the Search Engine
ourselves as we just did to answer your very valid question.

Difficulty to
concentrate on praying
From RMcA @ USA
Q. I'm no earthly use at the prayers, for, try as I
might, I can't keep my head together to concentrate. It is not that I
don't care – I most certainly do care, and greatly. It grieves me that
God's Name is not hallowed throughout the earth, but I still don't
manage to keep my mind for long on the prayer I'm saying. The truth is
that I can only struggle round five decades, plus the Divine Mercy
chaplet
RMcA
A. Dearest one – God thinks of everything! The
difficulty that you have in concentrating is more common than you may
think and the reasons are varied.
This is why The Scriptural Rosary is so
useful —intellectually and spiritually— it helps keep our thought
focused on each mystery through Biblical verses.
The same applies with The Stations of the
Cross and this is why we have provided a meditative version in our
Domain. Another powerful prayer is The
Chaplet of Tears – it is also designed to keep our minds and hearts
focused in God.
We pray that the above suggestions help you and many others whose
prayers are sorely needed in Heaven.

Who do you
think will be the next Pope?
Q. Who do you think will be the next Pope?
From:
Many
A. We have not had any revelation on that since it
will matter very little and it will not be settled in "Time" until
practically the last minute. We are in within the 42 month period
specified in the Holy Scriptures. [Revelations 13:5]
God has given satan a free hand in all affairs in the world subject, of
course, to His Will.
Since when Karol Wojtyla was elected Pope he became the last recognized
Successor of Peter, the next one only matters to the extent of how much or how little suffering will be
experienced by the world while Divine
Justice is dispensed while prophecy is fulfilled – just as we have
explained elsewhere. Or stated in another way: Our actions will
determine how much or how little damage God will allow satan to inflict
upon the world.
Therefore, in "Time" the next man elected
by the Cardinal's Conclave is completely up in the air and will be
until —at the last moment— God makes the determination explained above
base on our cooperation with Him.

Is not
sacrilegious to ponder about the day and time of God's plans?
From R @ USA
Q.
(a) I heard
last evening that in the new testament, per Jesus, that only God knows
the day and time of when our times will change due to his plan and
divine will. Isn't it dangerous and almost sacrilegious to begin to
ponder about such matters?
(b) Also, if I may, who are you, Miguel?
(c) It is obvious that you have an awful lot of money for such a
site and an awful lot of education...
(d) I am curious about where you receive your authority.
Please excuse my questions if I have offended you, however, as you
stress wisdom and knowledge of what will occur within the church, I
would like to know your basis for such information you provide.
Thank you for reading this and I hope I receive a response.
R
A. We have labeled your questions with (a), (b),
(c), etc. so that we may be able to focus our answers properly
for the benefit of the many readers who visit our Public Forum.
First of all, you have not offended us. Your questions, which indicate
your lack of familiarity with our Domain, are valid and genuine and we
thank you for the opportunity to clarify some issues for newcomers to The M+G+R Foundation.
(a) You may find the quotation you loosely refer to in the the
New Testament Matthew
24:35-37:
“Heaven and earth shall pass away,
but my words shall not pass away. But of that day and hour knoweth no
man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. But as the days
of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.”
First – Jesus is speaking about "the state of affairs" —that is, "who
knew what"— at the time He was speaking to His disciples in the Mt. of
Olives and not necessarily in the future.
Secondly, He states:
“...as the days of Noe were, so
shall also the coming of the Son of man be.”
Obviously, Noe had a schedule to follow in building the Ark and a
schedule necesitates dates.
Thirdly, in the Lesson of the Fig Tree [Matthew 24:32-35],
just before
the above quoted verses, Jesus states:
Now learn a parable of the fig
tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know
that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these
things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you,
This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
By "this generation" He meant the generation which "...shall
see all these things...". The "things" He describes are
clearly listed in Matthew
24:15-28
He further warns us to be ready through the Parable of the Ten Virgins
through Matthew 25:1-13
lest some are not ready and be lost.
Then we ask you: If Jesus is so concerned about us being ready and
warns us so, would then, God the Father, when the time comes, would not
even give a clue to His children, through His chosen ones, so that they
wake up from their lethargic sleep of indolence and become ready?
What is sacrilegious is to try to block Divine Action and add confusion
by misquoting the Holy Word of God.
(b) The brief biographical sketch of
miguel de Portugal will give you all the information that God deemed
appropriate that he reveals about himself at this time. This is about
God and not miguel de Portugal.
(c) From God! Where else? Whether this is believed or not does
not affect him at all. It will certainly affect those who do or do not
– but not miguel de Portugal.
You did not ask what is the function of The M+G+R Foundation. In case you
wish to know – and we recommend that you do, you are welcome to read about it.

Do you
believe Pope John Paul II is a saint?
From AM @ Australia
Q. Hello, fellow brother in Christ.
Notwithstanding Church protocols in
these matters, do you believe Pope John Paul II is a saint?
God bless you and your labours,
AM
A. We will answer that question in full via a new
document in preparation; however, we will comment upon a much more
serious post mortem situation – the Final Judgment of H.H. John Paul II
In spite of the fact that the world is in far worse condition (in all
aspects) now than when he assumed his Pontificate, he tried with every
ounce of energy he had to bring all of mankind together. As miguel de
Portugal has stated elsewhere, in the Final Judgment God does not look
at the net result of our efforts; God passes judgment on how hard we
tried to fulfill what we perceived as His Will as well as how sincere
we were in our intentions.
In both areas, H.H. John Paul II seems to have excelled. Nonetheless,
the Final Evaluation — in Time and Eternity
— is, of course, in the Hands of God.

Is the 1864
calendar exactly the same as the 2005 calendar?
From D @ USA
Q. It would seem that the 1864 calendar is NOT
exactly the same as the 2005 calendar if the link provided by your web
site is accurate. Only after feb. 29, 1864, are the calendars the same.
You should be more cautious.
D
A. We sincerely thank you for the opportunity to
Glorify God and be as date specific as He Wills.
Indeed, the calendar of the year 1864 is not —in its entirety— exactly
as the calendar of the year 2005; as you aptly pointed out, it is
exactly only after February 29th.
This would have bee a "mistake" in our part, except, when at the
service of God and not man, God allows His servants to make "mistakes"
for a purpose. In this case it is obvious that He Wills that we reveal
more information regarding the issue at hand.
Therefore, we have complied with His request —delivered through your
less than charitable criticism— and made the appropriate clarifying
statement in the NOTE added in our document about the Secret of La Salette. In a nutshell, the
calendar is identical from the time that matters.
As the readers may see, too much caution, as too
much prudence, may be deadly.

The actual
deceptions in the first part of the Fátima messages
From FP @ USA
Q. Since most of us do not read Portuguese please
inform us of the actual deceptions in the first part of the Fátima
messages.
Thank you for bringing us the truth.
FP
A. The main thrust of the document in question was to
illustrate, once again, the way the faithful is shamelessly lied to by
those they have placed their trust in.
That is: The Ecclesiastical authorities claim and publish both
handwritten texts as original from Sister Lucía when that is an out
right lie as we have shown by publishing scans of the alleged original
texts.
The next step —which will be part of a separate document, as God Wills
it— will be to translate the passages which have been changed and
explain how the may fit with their
overall plan.

Catholics
around the world reluctant to accept that John Paul II's historic
pontificate was at an end
Concern about H.H. John Paul
II @ Worldwide
... anguished prayers from Catholics around the world reluctant to
accept his historic pontificate was at an end.
A. Until Christians learn to defer to the Will
of the Father, as Jesus taught us, to wit:
Luke 22:42 ...
Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not
my will, but thine, be done.
they will be acting as Peter did when he tried to prevent Jesus from
going to Jerusalem, to wit:
Matthew 16:22-23
Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke
him, saying, Be it far from
thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee. But he turned, and said unto
Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou
savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.
When all those well intentioned well wishers cross the veil, they will
find out how much suffering they caused H.H. John Paul II by refusing
to subject their requests to the Will of God. This is another painful
example of a failed Evangelization
where men, leaders and followers alike, have taken the place of God
—just like the Egyptian Pharaohs, Roman Emperors, et al— by not humbly
deferring to His Will which it is always perfect.
If the reader has a difficult time understanding the above, we refer to
them to our document where we discuss the
relationship of Time and Eternity and how they are related.

Catholics in
the pro-life movement, disregarding prayers
Relayed Question/Concern.
A reader has taken a combative —but always "humble"— position in
reference to our statement published in the
News Commentary Post of March 27th.
Specifically our statement:
We are not impressed with the
theatrical religious outpouring by so many Christians in the U.S. How
come they are not doing the same for the 8 million humans who die every year
because they are to poor to live? These brethren of Terri
Schiavo are also children of God and while most of these theatrics
performers —without a doubt— could feed millions with the excess of
goods and resources, spiritual (*) and
material, that they have available to them, they chose to look the
other way.
A. Allow us to explain ourselves by relating a
true story.
In Houston, Texas, during the late
eighties, the pro-life movement was very active – mostly on the streets
demonstrating and making public displays of piety and prayer. A
behavior foreign to the teachings of our Lord and Master – Jesus
Christ. A behavior He actually denounced.
[Matthew 6:5-8]
From this group – a couple (he was a soft spoken and level headed
Engineer for a major Engineering firm) truly illuminated by the Holy
Spirit of God decided to do it the right way (Yes – we have said,
and
with God given authority [Luke 20:1-8] – the
Right Way).
They instituted an evening of Prayer and Adoration of the Blessed
Sacrament at the Annunciation Church in downtown Houston with the
objective being the conversion of the abortion promoters and, thus, the
end of abortion. Just as Jesus commanded.
[Matthew 5:43-48]
We "signed up" for that and hardly missed a week. It was truly
wonderful. The street marching and displayers of public piety were
invited... and they did not show up. In addition, in their inflammatory
"pro life" bulletins they never publicized said hour of Adoration to
End Abortion... such was their "Catholicism" and "true concern" to end
abortion.
Our little group of less than ten (!) dwindled to the organizers, m de
Portugal and two more. Eventually it was canceled "due to lack of
interest" – literally. However, the public displays of false piety and
hypocritical religiosity to end abortion continued unabashed.
We have seen this behavior over and over again and continue to
denounce, one and all, the theatrical display of religiosity as
worthless except for driving people away from God and achieving nothing
else.
Fanatics are fanatics – it does not
matter what disguise is used or under what banner they group
themselves. Jesus had one adjective for them which He used frequently:
Hypocrites!
[Matthew 23:13-36] [Luke 11:37-52]
Note: Of course,
there are some fine individuals who, due to lack of proper
Evangelization, and desirous to do something to end abortion will take
to the streets with very good intentions. Our statements are not
addressed to them. We are addressing those who, dripping in false
humility, claim that they know better and act contrary to the Teachings
they claim to uphold.
