Q.  You frequently quote David S. from Ireland as stating:


I wish to comment on that particular issue further if I may.



Roman Catholic

A.  We thank you for your simple, straight forward and uncomplicated statements which we pray many will benefit from. We keep harping on David S.'s quotation with the hopes that those who have Eyes to See and Ears to Hear and are not quite open yet will snap out of that blind and deaf trance when faced with such a banal and robotic statement. As we have said many times, the Holy Spirit of God was sent to all mankind and not exclusively to the Administrators of the Roman Catholic Church.

As we write now, most Catholics believe in the Church and not in God, which, together with the latest satanic Coup d'Etat we revealed,  is amongst his most clever moves. As the Church (really - the Administration) collapses into satan's hands the "Faith" of those who believe in the Church and not in God, will falter, collapse and they will become easy prey to satan or.... they will embrace him just "because they know its face" and "it has been around 2,000 years" - never mind that it has failed in its original Evangelical mission miserably. A win win situation for satan. He'll bring upon them untold misery either way - a misery which God will utilize for their benefit. As we keep reminding all - even satan must serve God, the Almighty Creator Who Is above all and contains all.

We suggest our readers to review what we have published about H.H. John Paul II's trajectory so that your very appropriate statements are fully understood.

Regarding Ratzinger's election day, we suggest our readers to review m de P's Conclave Trip Report.

Q.  May the peace of the Lord be with you!
 
Having just read your recent mailing about the copyrights upon the Word of God (the mailing is reproduced in the Answer section) am sorry to say that a sarcastic reply comes to mind:  Has anyone gotten a copyright on the Sign of the Cross, or perhaps a trademark on The Lord's Prayer?
Could we take legal action against the pope for infringement?
 
I know... it's wrong to be sarcastic,  but I just don't see how anyone justifies keeping the Word of God away from people until they pay the royalties. 
 
Years ago a singer song-writer did a song called "Jesus You're making it big on broadway" - We thought it was satire.... sad to see it was prophetic.
 
Yours in Christ

SB

A.  We thank you for your right-on-target illustrative sarcasm. Maybe when our Vatican monitors read this they will realize that they have missed out on a great source of income and immediately contact the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to see if they can patent the Cross and trademark the Our Father without delay.  Let's face it, how low can they further go? - They even claimed that Constantine had willed them the Roman Empire!

From SG @ US   [Published on November 24th]

Q.  Dear Friends in Jesus and Mary,

I have just come across your site today and am very interested in any info you have on backing up your claim about Ratzinger being the antichrist.  Also do you still stick to this claim?

Yours in the Love of Jesus and Mary,

SG

A.  Our declaration on said matter stands just as issued. Mercifully for those who have Eyes to See and Ears to Hear but which are not quite open just yet, Ratzinger is fully "cooperating" by his actions and past statements to make it more evident. (Read the letter and response below).

If you wish to be added to our Mailing List, please let us know. We do not add addresses to our list without an act of the free will of the correspondent.

From KH @ US   [Published on November 22nd]

Q.  I was doing a search on biographical info on Ratzinger to apply the biblical revelation of 'who' the antichrist would be... I found this (1). While it
is mostly over my head, please see ending paragraphs regarding 'revelation.'
 
I am sure the Holy Spirit will reveal to you what I have seen to be another proof.
 
In HIM

KH

A.  As you well know, we are almost overwhelmed with critical issues that we must deal with and that I have been limited by God as to the time I may be able to spend before a computer screen or reading texts on a printed page.  Also, as you have heard us say many times, miguel is just a "gofer" for God, Who Is the real "Boss" - thus miguel's will counts for nothing.

Well... it was The Boss' Will that miguel pour over the twelve page text that you referred to us; not seeking proof for our pronouncement about Ratzinger - a "gofer" does not need to prove a message that he relays for his Boss - but just because God Willed that I do.  As always, He does not make any mistakes...

Ignoring the fact that the article in question was published by the Society of Dt. Pius X who wants to return Catholicism to the "Good Old Days" of a failed Evangelization effort...

First, we noticed that we had amply dealt with Ratzinger's concept about the developments in revealed truth in our letter to the Latin American Hierarchy attending Ratzinger's conference in Guadalajara, Mexico, in 1996.

Secondly, we took note of a statement made by Ratzinger in his book:

     

From DS @ Ireland   [Published on November 19th]

Q.  I hope and pray that you are well. It has been a few months since I last emailed you.

The last communication I had with you was with regard to providing some support to the MGR foundation. Honestly I would have been happy to forward some support of the order maybe of a few hundred euros but I am not at ease with this for a number of reasons. Primarily I was quite disturbed that you openly declared the Pope to be the Anti-Christ: If you are right then those with 'eyes to see and ears to hear' etc will observe that you are correct; for myself and for the moment I'd prefer to reserve judgment on the matter... 

I hope that this aside we may still keep an open discussion on matters affecting the world at large.

One thing that struck me recently is in relation to your timetable for the 'end-times' and how the New World Order might come into effect.

It would seem logical that for this to happen large disruptive changes in the world will have to occur and I wonder aside from the affect of nuclear weapons being released onto the '1st World countries', perhaps of equal or even greater consequence could be the impact of global warming on the worlds economies and governments over the next decade. Is it not ironic that the greatest impact of capitalism besides the greed it creates in man is the creation of such an imbalance in our co2 levels that the whole natural cycle of the planet will be disrupted to such an extend as to almost destroy all life in the coming decades. Such a situation could help leverage the events as you have described them; (famines, flooding, massive movement of populations - refugees etc).

Perhaps you have an opinion on the matter on how it will affect mankind.

God bless,


DS

A.  We sincerely thank you for this, yet another, golden opportunity to share some light with many.

First of all, your very statement regarding financial assistance illustrates the key to how the Church founded by Jesus Christ went the wrong way and prostituted itself to the highest bidder.  We are not talking about the pristine Faith which, through the Grace of God, reached us at these very critical times. We are talking about its Administration and its failed Evangelization; and Administration and its city which embodies what John the Evangelist described in Chapter 17 of the Book of Revelations.

If we were trying to satisfy man [Romans 16:18] , and raise funds, by being "prudent" as Rome has always done, to the extent of being the principal entity responsible for the horrors of World War II,  we would not have discharged our responsibility in accordance to the Will of God.

Secondly, you treat "our differences" as if you were a Tory and I a Laborite; or a I Republican and you Democrat; or I a fan of Benfica and you of the Porto soccer team.  The difference that we are talking about is that you wish to believe that Ratzinger is the anointed by God and we have fingered him as the anointed by satan to spring on the world the False Christ.  You lack of internal and external coherence is indeed astounding.

Why would you seek our opinion - on any subject  -  if the spiritual abyss that separates us is such?  We would certainly not seek yours for,  where denial may reign, even professional opinions are tainted enough to make them unreliable and even dangerous if lives are involved.

Once again, we thank you for the opportunity and assure you that we shall keep you and your family in our prayers. The abyss we speak about is still surmountable so long we are in the flesh, because, once we cross the veil, as Jesus taught us through the parable of Lazarus [Luke  16 :1-31] :  ... between us and you, there is fixed a great chaos: so that they who would pass from hence to you, cannot, nor from thence come hither.

From Roman Catholic @ USA   [Published on November 19th]

Q. Often the greatest truths are those uttered in jest.  Sometimes humor can get people to think.  As you are done laughing you come to realize the joke is more true than funny.

I quote a joke which was part of a very serious article in yesterday's New York Times:

“This is a blatant lack of respect,” Mr. Borgomeo, the president of an association that serves as a watchdog of television entertainment, said.

Roman Catholic

A.  Lack of respect? Respect of what? If we take a good and hard look at the condition of the world 2000 years after Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ established an organization - the Church - to assist His children in their way Home to the Father, we do not find Mr. Rossi's statement offensive - it seems quite accurate.

On the contrary, it packs more truth than the Vatican has shared with humanity  in centuries!  We have in our files a letter from the leading Spanish Cardinal Rouco Varela.  Over his signature he states that the failed Evangelization is not the Church's fault; he claims it is the fault of the people who did nor respond.  Not being that enough blasphemy, which is making the power of evil greater than that of God's, he went on to lump dear St. John Bosco and his living example with that of all other saints - we presume - including one of his favorites "Saint" Jose Maria Escrivá.

These are the men who excommunicate those who do not "toe their abominable line". That is indeed a joke if one enjoys dark humor.

NOTE: Providentially these two letters which have been published on the same date came from two physicians.  As it always is: It is not a matter of the level of education or social status, it is a matter of the level of illumination possessed or level of denial exercised.

From JB @ USA   [Published on November 13th]

Q. [The writer is referring to a mailing to our List which we will reproduce at the end of our the writer's letter. We will comment on her statements right within the writer's text using bold italics letters.]

 Does this election of the Democrats appear to be a Divine Intervention?

You once stated that Clinton's election was a delay in the inevitable.  In our prayer time lately, we have been receiving "heavenly inspirations" about an "imminent catastrophic event coming" for the US.

What we said was and is that eight to ten years of suffering were shaved off the tribulation period by delaying the establishment of the New International Order.  The end point was not.  That is, the Sequence has been compressed but the position of Step No. 17 remains unchanged.

The imminent catastrophic events of course are imminent as we keep announcing and people keep ignoring even though God gave us a "Dressed Rehearsal"
 
I'm also reminded that Kruschev stated years ago that they would take over the US without shooting a bullet.

Exactly! That is why "the fall" of the Soviet Empire is no more than a Broadway Play...

Have you read the recent report that came out of Channel 5 News in the Rio Grande, TX about the state of the TX borders. It is chilling and yet most Americans are absolutely oblivious to what is really happening.  We could build 20 foot concrete walls around every section of the US and that would not help us.

Exactly! If we wrote - just from our past professional experience - how vulnerable we are, just as the European Union is, anyone who would read it and not have a spiritual balanced life, would slide into chronic paranoia. The money being spent by Homeland Security now would have been very well spent twenty years ago - now it is just another governmental waste of money - anothe pork barrel project.

God is in control.  Repentance and repentance only on a global scale will save us from what is coming upon the world.

If you see what we see (in the way of feedback and documents visited, etc.) you would see that, instead of moving in the Repentance and Reparation direction, people are moving, no, not moving, rushing into the fanatical man-made Christianity mode.  Their "Christianity" is to what Jesus Christ came to teach us, just as what Tupperware is when compared to Baccarat crystal.

 Did you hear the references from our Supreme Court in the arguments regarding late term abortion.  One so-called legal official referred to the baby being murdered as "half fetus and half baby" due to the procedure being done with a live baby in and outside the womb.  This is ludicrous and an example of the how inhuman we have become as a nation.  God will judge His people because He loves us too much to allow us all to be completely destroyed.

As we are hoarse from saying - Pain is the megaphone that God uses for the deaf to hear.

 I'm not afraid of a nuclear bomb.  I'm afraid of losing my soul.  We need to be preparing for "death", not life.  How many homilies do you hear about the joy of preparing for death?  It's time for those in position to speak to stand up and be counted.

With very few exceptions, they have not stood up and spoken for 6,000 years, so why should we expect them to do it now? If they were, there would  not have been a reason for the manifestation of m de P.

The prophets are speaking, such as you and others, but people would rather have their ears tickled and go on their merry ways allowing the piped piper to lead them to death.  Keep up the good work, Miguel.  You must suffer greatly for the ministry that the Lord has called you to do.  I, too, suffer greatly, but oh so willingly for the Lord.  Anything to save a soul from hell is worth it.

No human being has the power to save a soul from hell - none! As we have explained in our document regarding the Mysteries About Time and Eternity, the very best we can do is minimize the suffering of the soul - here and in Purgatory, while Divine Justice is being dispensed and Prophecy fulfilled.

 Let us pray for each other.  My love in Jesus and Mary and with hope is the coming day that I will be able to kiss the feet of Jesus Christ.  I long to see His face..........

Amen!

Q.  [Note from The M+G+R Foundation: For ease of understanding, the following letter has been handled in an "Answer and Question" format. We have had SB's prior letters posted before in the Public Forum.  We pray that the following may help some of those you are in contact with, since the situation SB is facing is universal and so are the remedies.]

May This find you with God's Peace and Blessing.

 

As I pray more, I become more saddened.

  I ask God to lift the sorrow from my heart, the anger from my soul, but I fear my prayers are un-answered, or that the answer is "No".

I say my rosary and anger seeps through.  I wonder if suicide really does mean hell.

I wonder if there is truly a demon set aside for each man.

Why do the steps become heavier, and the sorrow more real.

Do I need a psychiatrist, more faith, or an exorcist.

All seems hopeless.

 

I know you can't fix it.  But I knew you would listen.

 

SB

From Roman Catholic @ USA   [Published on November 6th]

Q. I continue to be impressed at how the world is either a mirror image or backwards of what it should be.

 Doctors enable suicide or promote therapies based on self serving data.  Priests exploit the very children Jesus told them to protect.  Politicians seldom serve the public good, but rather feast at the expense of the public. Public service is a joke.  It's all what's in it for me.

It was a Catholic historian who stated that "Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."  It really makes you wonder if all successful and powerful people have achieved their positions through corrupt means.

If indeed Satan rules this world, are all the leaders of this world agents of Satan?  In short, are all the good people marginalized since they would not go along with the status quo?  Is the world a mirror image so that the ostensibly good are really bad and the ostensibly bad are in fact the good people? I agree that only God can fix this.  We are all proud of the great things some of us humans have done through the Grace of God.  It is disappointing that after all these years of history and the same lesson, we are unable to muster the courage to mount an offensive against this.  I continue to pray every moment that I can so that our punishment will be minimized.  Thanks again for being there, Miguel.

Roman Catholic

A.  We could "write a book" just commenting upon the items you have so kindly brought to light, however, due to the restrains you know well that I have, we shall "hit the high points", so to speak, for the Glory of God.

You state: It really makes you wonder if all successful and powerful people have achieved their positions through corrupt means.

We comment: Yes, if we measure "success" and "power" utilizing world measuring devices. The only power that does not corrupt man is the Power of God when He allows us to access it.  Then we can literally move mountains and remain humble because we know that it was His Power and through His Grace that we accomplished what is impossible for man.

Since He can read our hearts He can see when we are really sincere about that humility; then, in turn, He makes more of His Power accessible to that individual who in turns utilizes it for His Honor and Glory; then, in turn, etc., etc.  God will never be outdone in generosity and, remember - Moses did not part the Red Sea.  God did it using a willing and humble Moses.

You state:  If indeed Satan rules this world, are all the leaders of this world agents of Satan?

We comment: Once again, the leaders of this world, if we utilize world definition of "leader", are indeed serving satan even if they are not aware of it. Should we really care who is in the White House if what we need - on a world stage - we can achieve it bypassing one and all? (1) Keep in mind - whether he likes it or not, satan must serve God for God contains, and is above, all and satan is nothing more than another part of God's Creation.

You state: Is the world a mirror image so that the ostensibly good are really bad and the ostensibly bad are in fact the good people? We comment:  We have found more saints in discos, clubs, bars and the streets than I have found in Churches. If, after God "reprogrammed my heart in an instant" and I started to go back to the Faith (2) again, I had allowed what I found in those Churches - clergy, religious and parishioners - interfere with my spiritual development, I would have never returned.  But you see, as I have said many times - I know, not believe in, but know God, and the amount of sin nor perversity I came across was not going to interfere with what, that God I knew, wanted me to be.

But this is not to say "How great miguel is" or "How much Faith he has" or, etc. etc. - It is ALL of God - without His action, as miserable as I am,  "I would have never made it past first base".  This is not "pious" humility - that is an absolute reality of which I am continuously aware of.

You state: It is disappointing that after all these years of history and the same lesson, we are unable to muster the courage to mount an offensive against this.

We comment:  What we see is the result of  what we learn in Matthew 23: 13 But woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because you shut the kingdom of heaven against men, for you yourselves do not enter in; and those that are going in, you suffer not to enter.

How could the Faithful mount an offensive if he has been "spiritually de-clawed and de-fanged"?  That is precisely what we are trying to do now [read: What God is doing through m de p] - undo 1600 years of darkness for the benefit of those who need to see the Light now, before He directly intervenes.

Once again we quote David S. for Ireland: We know the face of our Holy Father, but we do not know the face of Miguel De Portugal, (3) and therefore it is difficult to accept that he is right.

That is the mentality (4) that has neutered, so to speak, the Faithful over the last 1600 years - They are unable to recognize the Light unless it has a world-applied label on it.

You state:  I continue to pray every moment that I can so that our punishment will be minimized.

We comment:  That is all mankind can do now. I can say that I have only had one prophetic dream - all other communications has been by other various channels.  That prophetic dream has not been published and may never be but, be assured, "That is all mankind can do now." and m de P's function resolutely confirmed.

Regarding Mr. Haggard situation which triggered your letter to us

 If I were to start a new Evangelical Church today and needed a preacher - we probably would hire him immediately. Now he could really become a power house in bringing the Father's prodigal sons back home. (5)  He has a gift - preaching; he believes in God, even though he has struggled with a sexual problem and has fallen several times; and he now knows that he is capable of being very, very stupid. Once he experiences  the healing power of the infinite Mercy of God (6) - he will be ready to serve Him just as Saul did. Let us not forget that Saul was the "Master of Ceremonies" of the stoning of our beloved Stephen.

Besides than for his monumental stupidity - can we really blame Mr. Haggard?  Who could he confide in? Where could he go for strength to defeat the evil forces lurking within him? To the "Christians" associated with his Church?  His fellow Evangelists? Chuckle!

Allow us to share one more thought with you.  miguel de Portugal "forced" his submission (they did not want to accept the post at first) to two spiritual directors early in his journey.  One was a priest theologian professor at a Catholic University; the other was a Portuguese priest, one of the few Chaplains of the Sanctuary of Fatima.  Very quickly miguel became their spiritual director and comforter. Why? Where could they go where they would get straight dogma (to the right of the Vatican - mind you!) - without political dilution, accompanied with the faith and mercy required to place one's spiritual house in order?

What empowered miguel to do so? miguel's certainty of his misery and sinfulness accompanied by his certainty of the reality of God and His Unfathomable Mercy did so.

So, one may ask: "Whose Glory was it?" God's, of course! It is like Jesus' definition of "good" in Matthew 19:  Good master, what good shall I do that I may have life everlasting? 17 Who said to him: Why asketh thou me concerning good? One is good, God.

The Glory is only for God - Always!

I cannot help but chuckle when I see the world leaders, political and religious, parading themselves amongst "the plebeians" with "their tails fanned out" as if they were Royal Peacocks. If they could only see themselves they would die of shame!

From Visiting Jehovah's Witnesses @ USA   [Published on November 3rd]

One of our frequent readers discussed our recent document about the agenda of Jehovah's Witnesses with three elements who paid her a visit yesterday. We wish to air their feedback in our Public Forum and respond in accordance to the Will of God. For the convenience of our readers, we will use the format of "JW Statement" and "We Respond".

JW Statement  (Upon our reader questioning them why they did not bring said flyer to the meeting) This flyer is for world-wide distribution, and there are teams out to distribute them.

We Respond Being that the flyer was for worldwide distribution above-board logic would dictate that the first to receive it would be those who they were witnessing to.

JW Statement (Upon our reader pointing to the fact that Jesus was being regarded only religious figure) This flyer is intended for the WORLD.  Everyone is going to receive it.  Because not everyone has a Christian perspective, that is why it is written so.

We Respond But he that shall deny me before men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven. [Matthew 10:33]

JW Statement We believe that Jesus was resurrected

We Respond If they believe that, why do they clearly state in their flyer that "Jesus taught that the dead will be resurrected - an unnecessary action if humans had an immortal soul."

JW Statement The whole thing is "an attack."  The statements were taken out of context.

We Respond The actual flyer was scanned for all to see exactly where the statement were and they could be read in the context presented.

JW Statement  (Our reader mentioned that she had been unable to find a copy of the flyer on-line and that she guessed that was why The M+G+R Foundation had scanned it.)   They (The M+G+R Foundation) should have included the rest of the flyer.

We Respond If this is for the WORLD, why on earth would they not have the publication on-line?  Why are they unwilling to share their message outside of the presence of their witnesses?

JW Statement (The witnessing meeting continued.)  We read the Bible and take it literally, we do not believe in the Trinity, but in each individual entity.

We Respond If they not believe in the Trinitarian concept, they, either, do not believe that Jesus is the Word of God Incarnate - thus of Divine substance  - or they have three gods. They take the Bible literally but ignore Matthew 3:16-17 completely. In addition, God said Let us make man to our image and likeness [Gen 1:26] . "Us"? "Our"? Furthermore we read  And the Lord appeared to him in the vale of Mambre as he was sitting at the door of his tent, in the very heat of the day.  And when he had lifted up his eyes, there appeared to him three men standing near him: and as soon as he saw them he ran to meet them from the door of his tent, and adored down to the ground. [Gen.18:1-2]

We could go on endlessly.  Is a clear "either" "or" situation.

We thank our reader for the feedback and God for confirming through their own mouths what we have already announced.

From LP @ USA   [Published on November 1st - All Saints Day]

Q.  You have encouraged us, once more, to pray for the souls in purgatory invoking the Indulgences associated with such act of piety during the period of November 1 through November 8.

In said document you state that:

However, in another document you have identified the man currently apparently occupying the Chair of Peter, Joseph A. Ratzinger, as the AntiChrist - the precursor of the FalseChrist.  Therefore, how can we reconcile the requirement of  "(c) Prayer for the intention of the Sovereign Pontiff." with the claim that, at this point in Time, the individual who appears to occupy the Chair Of Peter is not the Sovereign Pontiff?

A.  Thank you very much for such a valid and leading question. As we now show in the revised document, the third condition should be (c) Prayer for the intentions of the true Shepherds of the People of God.  There are a few priests, bishops and cardinals who have not been contaminated with the cancer which has essentially consumed the leadership of the Roman Catholic Church.  These men need our prayers now more than ever and the Elect should come to their spiritual assistance by means of fasts and prayers. Rest assured, God will gladly accept such condition in lieu of the one which is no longer possible.

From D @ USA   [Published on October 28th - Feast of Sts.  Simon and Jude]

Q.  Regarding the recent mailing (*) about Opus Dei activities....

 I lived in Spain for 4 years 1994-1998 and then Italy (Siciliy) 1998-2001 and I was shocked at the feeling I received from the local populations concerning the Catholic Religion and their public lives. This article doesn't surprise me at all.

I was robbed many many, many times while in Europe both my home and car. I traveled to Portugal several times and especially in Portugal I felt the presence of God. I loved it there!!!!!!!  I was shocked at the behavior of the Priests I saw and knew while in Rome.

How could we expect the children to be any better? The Catholic Church is losing so many to evangelical Christians in Europe. The Hierarchy in Rome doesn't seem to care a whit as long as they get theirs. That's how I saw and see it.

I know this is no surprise to you. I went to several military Conference of Catholic Women gatherings in Germany where there were Priests trying to push Opus Dei. Honestly, I walked out of their seminar quickly when they started talking as they really gave me the creeps. I didn't even know why, just felt very strange around me.


D

A.  Your kind words humble us, while, at the same time provide much needed encouragement - it is a lonely road, but so was calvary...

We pray that our readers appreciate the information contained in your communication.  Almost one has to be there for such reality to "soak in". During the last "Conclave" miguel de Portugal was in Rome and he wrote a Trip Report.  We do not think that many people believed it, even though it was a second one, the first Report was written in January 2001.

You will be surprised where Portugal "is at" these days with the clergy leading "the way". The social condition of Spain is beyond description and Portugal are "importing" it very rapidly.

All continues to get worse because the Faithful has decided that if they "look the other way" it "will go away". How much we wish that they would understand the full meaning of Pain Is the Megaphone that God Uses for the Deaf to Listen to Him and the gravity associated with Denial.

Thank you very much for sharing with all of us - here and in the audience.

Quote from article:

Rev. Roy Cimagala writes:

And the more I got to know about St. Josemaria, the more I got convinced of the consistency between his words and his deeds. And yes, he can easily throw a spell on you, the kind that leads you to conversion and self-giving.

When I read St. Paul's "We speak not in the learned words of human wisdom, but in the doctrine of the Spirit, comparing spiritual things with spiritual." (1 Cor 2,12), I think of how St. Josemaria entered my life and affected it.

The greatest lesson I learned from him is that loving and achieving sanctity is just a matter of decision of the heart that can and should be made at any time and in any place. On the part of God, his grace never lacks. It's our call.

Comment by The M+G+R Foundation:

His comments, plus the rest of his Opus Dei "commercial" should be viewed in light of:

http://www.mgr.org/OpusIndex.html and http://www.mgr.org/OpusIndexEsp.html

In addition to the social and moral condition of Spain - a country Opus Dei essentially controls:

The "Fundación Santa María" prepared a report  "Jóvenes Españoles 2005" (Spanish Youth 2005) directed by Pedro González, Professor of the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid..  This report was based on a survey of  4,000 Spaniards ranging in age from 15 and 24 years.

Although we - from personal experience - "lived and witnessed" these results - that tragedy - now there are black-and-white numbers to confirm it.As if this confirmation were not enough, God granted us the Grace of having - in the form of a personal letter of the highest profiled prelate in Spain, Cardinal Rouco Varela - the justification used by the Church Hierarchy for such abysmal failure.

DETAILS

49 % consider themselves Catholics  (down from 77 % in 1994) (1)

46 % consider themselves agnostics, atheist or  indifferent to religion (up from 22 % in 1994)

80 % do not trust the Church at all

79 % think that the Church is too wealthy (2)

82 % consider the Church too antiquated in sexual matters (3)

50 % believe that the Church helps the poor and the marginalized by society (4)

36 % consider that the Church served them for something (little or much - but at least "for something") (5)

Regarding Unions

43 % prefer a "Church Wedding" (6)

22 % prefer a civil marriage

16 % prefer union without any formalities (7)

67.7 % believe that organized immigration should be allowed (8)

0 % would mind living next door to a person with AIDS ( 25 % would not in 1990) (9)
