St Thomas Aquinas Refutes The Errors Of Patrick Archbold On The Star Of Bethlehem?


First Archbold claiming that the star of Bethlehem is nothing but a star that is already part of a constellation:
So what was the Star of Bethlehem? As mentioned, I think there is a compelling case that the Star of Bethlehem was a series of astronomical events with significant symbolism. More detail can be seen at BethlehemStar.net, but I will attempt a brief summary. 
In 3/2 B.C., there occurred a rare triple conjunction of Jupiter (the king planet, through its retrograde motion) and Regulus (the king star). The Magi likely interpreted this rare triple conjunction as a giant neon sign in the heavens blinking KING-KING-KING. This all began at the Jewish New year and all within the constellation of Leo (the lion, a symbol of the tribe of Judah). So it heavily symbolized Jewish King from the tribe of Judah, a clear indication for those familiar with the Messiah. Further, rising right behind Leo was the constellation Virgo, with the sun and the moon at her feet. Remnant Read More>>>>
Now for the reality from St Thomas Aquinas that says the Star was a new creation and did not behave like the stars do:
Article 7. Whether the star which appeared to the Magi belonged to the heavenly system?

Objection 1. It would seem that the star which appeared to the Magi belonged to the heavenly system. For Augustine says in a sermon on the Epiphany (cxxii): "While God yet clings to the breast, and suffers Himself to be wrapped in humble swaddling clothes, suddenly a new star shines forth in the heavens." Therefore the star which appeared to the Magi belonged to the heavenly system. 
Objection 2. Further, Augustine says in a sermon on the Epiphany (cci): "Christ was made known to the shepherds by angels, to the Magi by a star. A heavenly tongue speaks to both, because the tongue of the prophets spoke no longer." But the angels who appeared to the shepherds were really angels from heaven. Therefore also the star which appeared to the Magi was really a star from the heavens. 
Objection 3. Further, stars which are not in the heavens but in the air are called comets, which do not appear at the birth of kings, but rather are signs of their approaching death. But this star was a sign of the King's birth: wherefore the Magi said (Matthew 2:2): "Where is He that is born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the east." Therefore it seems that it was a star from the heavens. 
I answer that, As Chrysostom says (Hom. vi in Matth.), it is clear, for many reasons, that the star which appeared to the Magi did not belong to the heavenly system. First, because no other star approaches from the same quarter as this star, whose course was from north to south, these being the relative positions of Persia, whence the Magi came, and Judea. Secondly, from the time [at which it was seen]. For it appeared not only at night, but also at midday: and no star can do this, not even the moon. Thirdly, because it was visible at one time and hidden at another. For when they entered Jerusalem it hid itself: then, when they had left Herod, it showed itself again. Fourthly, because its movement was not continuous, but when the Magi had to continue their journey the star moved on; when they had to stop the star stood still; as happened to the pillar of a cloud in the desert. Fifthly, because it indicated the virginal Birth, not by remaining aloft, but by coming down below. For it is written (Matthew 2:9) that "the star which they had seen in the east went before them, until it came and stood over where the child was." Whence it is evident that the words of the Magi, "We have seen His star in the east," are to be taken as meaning, not that when they were in the east the star appeared over the country of Judea, but that when they saw the star it was in the east, and that it preceded them into Judea (although this is considered doubtful by some). But it could not have indicated the house distinctly, unless it were near the earth. And, as he [Chrysostom] observes, this does not seem fitting to a star, but "of some power endowed with reason." Consequently "it seems that this was some invisible force made visible under the form of a star." 
Wherefore some say that, as the Holy Ghost, after our Lord's Baptism, came down on Him under the form of a dove, so did He appear to the Magi under the form of a star. While others say that the angel who, under a human form, appeared to the shepherds, under the form of a star, appeared to the Magi. But it seems more probable that it was a newly created star, not in the heavens, but in the air near the earth, and that its movement varied according to God's will. Wherefore Pope Leo says in a sermon on the Epiphany (xxxi): "A star of unusual brightness appeared to the three Magi in the east, which, through being more brilliant and more beautiful than the other stars, drew men's gaze and attention: so that they understood at once that such an unwonted event could not be devoid of purpose." 
Reply to Objection 1. In Holy Scripture the air is sometimes called the heavens--for instance, "The birds of the heavens [Douay: 'air'] and the fishes of the sea." 
Reply to Objection 2. The angels of heaven, by reason of their very office, come down to us, being "sent to minister." But the stars of heaven do not change their position. Wherefore there is no comparison. 
Reply to Objection 3. As the star did not follow the course of the heavenly stars, so neither did it follow the course of the comets, which neither appear during the daytime nor vary their customary course. Nevertheless in its signification it has something in common with the comets. Because the heavenly kingdom of Christ "shall break in pieces, and shall consume all the kingdoms" of the earth, "and itself shall stand for ever" (Daniel 2:44).
The Star of Bethlehem is a new creation. It is always the best way to follow the Church Fathers, not to make up your own ideas, that leads to errors.

A train was submerged under floodwaters in Texas as the state was battered by rain ahead of the first effects of Hurricane Patricia. No injuries were reported in the derailment, where two conductors were able to escape from their downed train before being picked up by emergency workers in Navarro County, south of Dallas. Some areas of the state have already seen more than 20 inches of rain as precipitation from one storm system, with much of central and southern Texas under flash flood watch until Monday. Rain has been worst so far in Navarro County, where a Union Pacific train locomotive and several of its cars derailed around 3.30am after water from a nearby washed over the tracks.

EVIL PORTENT! THE SYNOD CAT 5 HURRICANE PATRICIA MAKES LANDFALL ON EVE OF FINAL SYNOD DISASTER!



The strongest hurricane to ever hit the Pacific coast has slammed into western Mexico this evening as thousands of tourists desperately tried to flee. Hurricane Patricia made landfall with wind speeds of 165mph as it tore through the town of Emiliano Zapato in Jalisco state, according to officials. It is now expected to slowly move north west, laying waste to towns and villages in its path. Holidaymakers evacuated earlier today as forecasters said the storm would bring 200mph winds, 40ft waves, deadly mudslides and dump up to 20 inches of rain on parts of Mexico. Category 5 storm Patricia is the strongest recorded hurricane in history, with the US National Hurricane Center measuring 201mph sustained winds before it hit land and the lowest recorded atmospheric pressure of 880mb. The tail end of the hurricane has put 10million people under flash flood warnings, including swathes of Texas that are already being pounded with torrential rain from a slow moving storm system. Some officials even warn that Patricia could make it across Mexico as a hurricane, regain strength in the Gulf of Mexico and head towards the United States. Daily Mail Read More>>>>>>>>

Evil Portent For Marriage! Actual LAMIA Found!! Appears On The Eve Of The Synod On The Family!!! Creature Named In De Divortio ("Concerning Divorce") AS A THREAT TO MARRIAGE!

Lamia

Do not all charms fly
At the mere touch of cold philosophy?
There was an awful rainbow once in heaven:
We know her woof, her texture; she is given
In the dull catalogue of common things.
Philosophy will clip an Angel's wings,
Conquer all mysteries by rule and line,
Empty the haunted air, and gnomèd mine—
Unweave a rainbow, as it erewhile made
The tender-person'd Lamia melt into a shade.
John Keats 

What is a Lamia? a home wrecker, a devourer of children a real nasty bitch. Supposed to have a face of a woman (above leathery face looks like most faces of NYC hags) & boobs too I don't see any in the pics - I guess modesty prevents the scientists from showing the boobs (that's probably a good thing, because I bet the boobs would look like those that hang off that old hag in the bathroom scene in the movie the Shinning! - I still have nightmares about that one!)
....the chief characteristics of the Lamiae, apart from their thirst for blood, are their uncleanliness, their gluttony, and their stupidity".  John Cuthbert Lawson
Sounds just like your typical modern day woman...

In the De Divortio ("Concerning Divorce") treatise written by Hincmar, Archbishop of Reims (d. 882) Claims that the Lamiae is:
among the supernatural dangers that threatened marriages, and identified them with geniciales feminae, female reproductive spirits. (Succubus)
Wow! Just before the Synod on the family too! How's that for timing! 

The Lamia is a threat to Marriage just like the Synod is a threat to Marriage!


Mysterious creature which appears to be a hybrid between a crocodile and a buffalo terrifies villagers in Thailand
Villagers in a remote Thai village have been left bewildered and terrified by the appearance of this bizarre creature. The strange looking animal has dark, scaly skin like a reptile and a crocodile-shaped head - despite being born from a buffalo. Footage of the odd creature shows it laid out on a table as a gathering crowd prods its scaly skin and head while lighting candles and incense. The animal surfaced in High Rock, Wanghin in Thailand, and was born to a buffalo, local website Rath reported. It was claimed the buffalo had given birth to a previous litter of perfectly healthy calves. But exactly how the creature came to grow scales and form an elongated snout akin to a crocodile remains a mystery - though villagers now hope it will bring them good luck. Daily Mail Read More>>>>>

'It was a freak of nature': Rock slide in Vermont caused 57mph Amtrak commuter train to fly off the rails and into a ditch, injuring 7 The Amtrak passenger train which derailed in Northfield, Vermont, on Monday morning was sent hurtling by a 'freak' rock slide, the governor has said. One person was airlifted to hospital and another six went in ambulances to be treated for minor injuries after the southbound train traveling at 57 mph flew off the tracks 10 miles south of Montpelier at 10am. On Monday afternoon, Gov Peter Shumlin told reporters there was a rock on the track that could not have been avoided even if brakes were applied, adding: 'this really was a freak of nature'. 


Shumlin praised the 104 passengers, many elderly, who scrambled up the steep hillside to safety after the crash. 'I've just been meeting with the passengers,' Shumlin said, 'and it's really a remarkable thing to hear. 'It was a pretty brutal derailment caused by ledge on the track, and as one of the passengers said to me, "Someone was looking out for us, because literally we walked out of a very difficult situation."' He said the six passengers with minor injuries were taken to Central Vermont Medical Center in nearby Berlin to be treated. The seventh was airlifted to Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center. Their injuries are unknown. Daily Mail Read More>>>>>

Solange Hertz, RIP: Little Apocalypse of Our Lady On THE SECRET OF OUR LADY OF LA SALETTE


Little Apocalypse of Our Lady
by Solange Hertz

"Well, now, my children, you will pass this along to all my people."

With these words Mary the Mother of God concluded the famous message she came to earth on September 19, 1846 to deliver to two poor peasant children employed as cowherds on the mountain of La Salette, Famous as the message is, its full contents continue unknown to the vast majority, not only in the world, but even in the Church. This leads one to wonder who "all Mary's people" really are, for only these, it would seem, does it succeed in reaching, as our Lady said it would.

She didn't ask the children, Melanie Calvat and Maximin Giraud, to pass it along. She simply told then they would, and that was that. And they have. Somehow, in every generation since, little souls are found who transmit our Lady's words faithfully and quietly, although for the most part painfully, by the most humble, nay, bumbling means, please God this may be one of them.

Outside the Gospel itself, hardly any communication from heaven has encountered such furious and determined opposition, and that not so much outside the Church, as from within, from those members who would be most expected to take the Secret to heart and preach it from the housetops. It has continued unabated, despite the fact that the apparition at La Salette enjoyed almost immediately the full approbation of the Church, with rich indulgences granted to pilgrims there, and that canonically approved miracles have taken place on the spot. Why?

"Alas," wrote Melanie to her director Abbé Combe in 1903, "the bishops, those who considered themselves referred to in the Secret, are the enemies of this merciful Secret, just as the high priests condemned the divine Savior to death! . . . And inasmuch as the Mother of God and of all Christians by adoption at the foot of the Cross has recommended that her message in its entirety be made known to her people, what are we waiting for to obey the Virgin Mother, seeing that every day we behold the punishments announced by the Secret taking place?

"What more are we waiting for, inasmuch as Holy Church has shown herself in favor insofar as She can where revelations are concerned? Pius IX ordered the Bishop of Grenoble to build a beautiful Church on the mountain of La Salette. Leo XIII crowned the statue and gave the sanctuary the title of Basilica. What more do we need to beat our breasts, to admit that all, all of us, have sinned, all of us have provoked God's justice, all of us have set our lips to the poisoned fount of our depraved passions, drunkenness from which plunges us into darkness? Whoever is ill-willed in regulating his life according to the law of God, according to the maxims of the Gospel, will always find reasons for doubting everything he wants to be in doubt about; the faith of these people is not a sanctifying faith. . ." (Documents Pour Servir á l'Histoire Réelle de La Salette, Nouvelles Editions Latines, Paris, 1963-66)

In our days the Secret has been largely consigned to oblivion. In the lifetime of the visionaries some confessors refused absolution to penitents who read it. Melanie and Maximin were subjected to unparalleled and totally unfounded calumny and persecution. Melanie's own Bishop, along with many other persons, made her out as insane, or at best unstable. Maximin was reputed an alcoholic. To this day, at best, the general judgment would agree with that expressed by Fr. John Kennedy in his Light on the Mountain: "The deficiencies and idiosyncrasies of Maximin and Melanie are but gargoyles on the monumental, enduring fact of La Salette." La Salette, yes" Maximin, Melanie and the Secret, no.

After receiving the first communication from our Lady dealing with the divine displeasure at profanations of Sunday and the Holy Name - generally propagated as the Message of La Salette and beyond the limits of this paper - both children were entrusted with a secret. Maximin's, apparently never intended for the public, was carried to the grave with him. Melanie's, however, was meant to be revealed in due time: and the moment she began doing so in obedience to heaven, she attracted the full brunt of hell's fury.

Many good people when they heard it were convinced that Melanie had made it up, so sure were they our Lady would never say such terrible things about the clergy. And if it's true, what good does it do to reveal it?

To which Mélanie replied: "No, no, the Seat of Wisdom never spoke ill of the Ministers of the Altar! Mercifully, Mary, Patroness of France. Queen of the Catholic clergy, pointed out the diseases infecting the souls of the pastors of God's people. Those who have forgotten prayer and penance and filled their hearts with affection for transitory things, their faith has cooled. . . Instead of rebelling, they should have entered into themselves, revived their faith, their charity, wisely regulating their conduct in accordance with the examples of Jesus, our divine Master and model," (Letter to Fr. Combe, September 1902)

That Pius IX believed in Mélanie absolutely, indeed countering her detractors with, "Melanie is a good girl," seemed to weigh little in her favor. Nor did the fact that he later relieved her of her religious vows, which would have kept her in the cloister where the enemies of the Secret wanted her kept, even going so far as trying to do so forcibly. She tells us, "His holiness Pius IX relieved me of such vows as could not be kept in the world; he said that I couldn't accomplish my mission in the cloister and he granted me privileges I would never have dared ask him."

Badgered beyond endurance, even excommunicated by one French Bishop, Melanie eventually fled incognito to Italy, to publish the Secret there under the protection of friendly Italian prelates. Pope Leo XIII, who approved of Melanie as heartily as his predecessor, called her to Rome in 1879 to confer with her not only about the Secret, but about a rule for a religious order which our Lady had given her at the same time and wished founded immediately against the coming crisis. Specifically the Order of the Mother of God, the "Apostles of the Latter Times" predicted by St, Louis de Montfort, it was encouraged in every way by the Pope, who in fact kept Melanie in Rome six months finalizing its Constitutions, but despite several abortive attempts, it always failed to materialize. (The present religious organized under the name of La Salette do not follow this rule, nor are they in any way connected with it.) This great work is yet to come.

The ire of the French bishops, whom Melanie knew to be masonically controlled pursued her even into Italy, where she was driven from pillar to post in her attempt to remain hidden from the world. Applying heavy pressure on Rome to have the Secret put on the Index, these high ecclesiastics even threatened to withhold Peter's Pence from the impoverished Apostolic treasury. This was never done, but to placate them Cardinal Caterini sent a letter from the Inquisition forbidding Melanie in 1880 to write about or publish anything further on the Secret.

"This unhappy letter has finished, you might say, poisoning my existence," said poor Melanie," and has evaporated my trembling hope that by Christianity's return to its God the long and great scourges which our prevarications deserve might be much mitigated." In great anguish she complied with the letter. "As for me, I want to be submissive to the Holy Church of God." Nevertheless she conceded that if she could be certain "that the Caterini letter was unknown to the Holy Father, then I would be free to write and would write." (Letter to A. M. Schmid, of the periodical Légitimité, July 25, 1896).

Apparently never accorded this certainty, she continued obedient. Contrary to her detractors, Melanie's life was one of high virtue, austerity and prayer, her apparent eccentricities and "instability" due almost entirely to her fidelity to her mission and her determination to keep herself and her many extraordinary gifts (among them the stigmata) hidden from public view. On reading an account of her life in 1910, Pope St. Pius X exclaimed to the Bishop of Altamura, in whose diocese she had died and was buried, "La nostra Santa!" He suggested to the Bishop that her cause for beatification be introduced immediately.

Testimony to her holiness is plentiful if one knows where to look, but that of the Fr. Rigaux, her last director, should suffice: "In the 48 years that I've been a priest, I've known and directed some very beautiful souls. I dare state before God, who will soon judge me, that never have I encountered a soul so humble, gentle, pure, obedient a virgin so pure, a character so strong, a victim so resigned in frightful trials, a martyr in body, bearing the stigmata from her tenderest years."

Melanie died at the age of 72, alone and unattended, on December 14, 1904, but she left us the Secret. It's extraordinary how many people today are still hesitant about reading it, let alone believing it, because they think it was on the Index. Nothing could be further from the truth. Although it's true that several publications dealing with it were condemned - some of them with very good reason - the Secret itself has never suffered any official condemnation. As a matter of fact there is extant a letter from Fr. Lepidi, Master of the Sacred Palace, dated December 16, 1912 to Cardinal Luçon, stating officially, that the Secret of La Salette has never been condemned by the Index nor by the Holy Office.

Delivered orally hundreds of times by Melanie herself. It was first published under the Imprimatur of the Bishop of Naples. It appeared a second time under the Imprimatur of Salvatore Zola, Bishop of Lecce, Italy, who gave his permission after consulting with Leo XIII on the matter. This edition was reprinted ne varietur in France in 1904, a few months before Melanie died.

In the meantime the full text had been examined by the congregation of the Index, which found no change necessary. When Leo XIII read it initially, not only did he voice no objection, but he ordered a version with fuller explanations to be undertaken! The Bishops of Arras and bayonne granted further Imprimaturs in 1893, followed by many others throughout Christendom. Fr. Rigaux, writing around the turn of the century, stated that he had in his possession "28 editions of the Secret, with Imprimatur from Cardinals and Bishops."

Nevertheless, as Mélanie wrote then, "With Imprimatur and all the Imprimaturs, I wonder who will believe the teachings of an apparition, when almost the whole Church of God no longer believes in the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Or if she does believe, it's only with the faith of the intellect and not with the faith of the will." (May 19, 1904) Although never placed on the Index, the Secret suffered grievous impediments due to the cause Melanie saw so well. It must be forcibly noted here that by a decree of the Holy Office dated December 21, 1915, all the faithful are forbidden to write commentaries or interpretations of the Secret. As far as can be ascertained, this decree is still in effect and must be obeyed.

But are commentaries really necessary? As Mélanie told her director in 1903, "souls who are God's friends can guess the Secret's meaning without help, and the others won't want to because it applies to them too closely." When all is said and done, "The Secret only proposes observance of God's law, and complains of the lack of observance of this same law, and it threatens the transgressors of this holy law with chastisements and scourges." Pope Plus IX summed it up even more briefly: "If you don't do penance you will perish!"

If this was clear at the turn of the century. It's even clearer now for those with eyes to see. Hardly any soul of good will needs help interpreting the Secret of La Salette today. It has become an open secret if ever there was one. In the same letter to her director just quoted Melanie explained to him exactly the sort of thing our Lady was referring to when she said, "There are two holy places: the Church and the spouse, or if you prefer, the soul which no longer belongs to herself. In 1865 there passed like a gust of rebellion: an archbishop who poisoned a king; cardinals and others sold the great See of Catholicism, after having become fathers several times, and events of like nature, it's a long story. But nobody knows about it you say? Haven't we heard tell that Napoleon, Garibaldi, Gambetta and certain priests were in the habit of visiting convents from time to tine, that they were very charitable towards these nuns? and that in other countries or kingdoms the rendezvous took place in churches? And hasn't Freemasonry been solemnly established, that is to say, recognized? But it's useless. I'm not capable of uncovering the stratagems, the brood of crimes which only apathy and frenzy for pleasure have hidden from the eyes of those who already no longer see. We shall see: it's not everyone who will see, but those souls nearest to the spotless light!" She concludes, "At most we can say that God is reproaching us with the same crimes which caused the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to perish by fire from heaven."

The prohibition against her publishing anything about the Secret must have weighed on her ever more heavily as she saw public morality sink lower and lower, for apparently she had been given to understand very much more than our Lady's words conveyed on the surface. Speaking of the apparition she says, "Each word develops and the future action takes place within the moment, and thousands and thousands more things are seen than the ears hear...One sees plots hatching, one sees the kings of the earth, each of whom has several guardian angels; one sees them moving about, doing, undoing; one sees the jealousy of some, the ambition of others, etc., and all that in one word escaping from the lips of her who makes hell tremble." (Letter to Fr. Bliard) In 1897 she mourned to Fr. Combe, "God used to speak continually to His prophets and they weren't held to obedience to...when this was contrary to God's will. Today one must obey or be struck with excommunication. I can only groan at the lamentable state of our loving Jesus' representatives..."

Yet, even given permission, Mélanie would have been powerless to transmit it all. To the pious and zealous Fr. Roubaud - who had hoped in the beginning to publish a volume on the subject from her pen - she said, "I don't feel I have the grace to explain. The world isn't disposed to hear it. What's more, the little people of God don't need to touch with the finger. Our sweet Mother Mary didn't come for believers, but for those who don't practice the promises made at their baptism." She had prefaced this with the rueful comment, "It's possible, and it's even certain, that the Jews will re-assume their title of people of God and perhaps we shall be rejected."

Melanie was not acquainted with the famous prophecy of St. Malachy, but in 1894 she told this good priest that among the future events she saw unrolling in the course of the apparition, "I didn't see, I don't see, any Great Pope or Great Monarch before an extremely great tribulation, horrifying, terrible and general for all Christendom. But before that time, twice there will be a short-lived peace two shaky, servile, doubtful popes."

Anyone who thinks the crisis In the Church we suffer today began with the Second Vatican Council need only read Melanie's correspondence. The following extracts from her letters to Fr. Roubaud are a fair sample:

"When the Secret has been scorned, misunderstood ... held back for money, one must be surprised at nothing. The Church will endure forever, our Lord said so; but among the teaching members of the Church, what traitors, what apostates, what mercenaries, what sectarians, who bear the imprint or the sign of the beast with ten horns St. John speaks of in his vision on Patmos! But this beast similar to the Lamb, who rises out of the earth, isn't it the figure of faithless ecclesiastics? I firmly believe so. Happy those who die in God's grace, for those who live will see sad and terrifying things. We still haven't reached the beginning of the end." (January 2, 1892)

Later the same year, her words apropos of a good priest who was losing his eyesight have sadly increased in relevance today: "Oh, how God afflicts His true servants in these times! But this affliction is a punishment for the half-Christians who have rendered themselves unworthy of hearing the word of truth, which they obstinately refuse to put into practice. When God favored us, when He was giving us all we needed, we abandoned Him; now we blaspheme Him like the damned. God was giving us His graces in manifold ways, now He deprives us of everything. [36] He plays deaf, indifferent, as we did towards Him. We have nothing to say. And now He is taking from us the few good priests who, despite all the thunderbolts of those sold for gold, never ceased teaching us the practice of the Christi virtues and flight from sin...

"... You'd think the devil would keep quiet inasmuch as men are almost all working for him, for his triumph. Well, no, he turns himself into an angel of light, aping true apparitions, truly divine. Later he'll show his horns, in order to destroy the true divine apparitions by his impostures. It's noteworthy that in all these false apparition there are always many flattering words directed to certain persons, which these seers, seeing only the devil, apply to some gullible person wrapt in refined self-love. It's also true there are visionaries without visions, who don't even need the devil's help, being themselves possessed."

The rash of false signs and wonders, tongues and prophecies soliciting our attention so generally now was evidently well under way in the last century. On September 9, 1894, she writes, "The devil is a liar, what he says mustn't be believed because if he says something true, it's preceded and followed by lies and wrapped In obscurity. The good Lord doesn't permit His true worshippers to be playthings of evil spirits at their expense. Today already in the world, in families (Christian in appearance) there are supernatural-diabolic things; these are treated as illness, and bit by bit the serpent's wonders insinuate themselves noiselessly into society - Mistrust of self, deep and true humility, supreme love of God alone can deliver these souls from the eternal abysses. It seems to me, if I'm not mistaken, that we don't have to wait for the reign of the Antichrist to see apostates behind masks; today we have a great number, whom Satan recognizes as his own. The sentinels of the sanctuary have passed into the enemy camp!!! The divine supernatural has been scorned! We'll be taken in the nets of the diabolic supernatural."

Sad to say, that Melanie prophesied truly here can now be demonstrated. All the more reason, therefore, to heed the Secret. Why risk setting our sights to doubtful prophecies from lesser sources? The words of the greatest saints can never measure up to those of the Mother of God, whose motherly apocalypse could rank second only to that of our Lord himself spoken in the Gospels and through St. John on Patmos.

With this thought in mind we can proceed to a first hand reading of the authentic Secret. The accompanying part is that of the definitive 1904 edition, of which Melanie said in April of that year to Fr. Rigaux: "The Secret is word for word that of our gentle Mother, just as I gave it to His Holiness Leo XIII in 1879." The following October she wrote, "I protest highly against a differing text, which people may dare publish after my death, I protest once more against the very false statements of all those who dare say and write: First, that I embroidered the Secret; second, against those who state that the Queen of Wisdom did not say to transmit the Secret to all her people."

We might note here that the Secret was given to Mélanie in French. Although she spoke only patois at the tine and learned French later, she was able to understand the message, and retained it perfectly word for word. When a gentleman asked her as a child how such a thing was possible, she answered, simply, "I don't know. If the holy Virgin so willed it, sir, I understood." Our translation may be rather stiff in spots, but every effort was made to hew as closely as possible to the original, inasmuch as in a communication of this kind a change in the nuance of one word can shift the interpretation.

The Secret must be allowed to speak for itself, coming to us as it does from our Lady herself. A true apocalypse, it must be read like all apocalyptic literature, which uses enigma and metaphor precisely so that only those for whom it is intended may grasp its true meaning. Let him who reads understand. Our Lady's own people, by supernatural instinct, will know not to take its terms in their purely literal sense, any more than they would in reading the Apocalypse of St. John. For instance, they would know better than to take in a carnal sense the "Hebrew nun," the "false virgin" who is to bear the Antichrist as a result of relations with a Bishop. Genuine apocalyptic messages deal primarily in spiritual matters. These are clothed in material imagery designed to give the clue to the meaning, but which remains secondary. Nor is there any strict chronology sometimes the same event is described in different ways.

Even so, only the light of the Holy Ghost, supported by prayer, penance and innocence of life can unlock divine mysteries for the human intellect, which no amount of purely human explanation can enlighten in such matters. This makes obeying the Decree of 1915 rather easy, for as Melanie said, commentaries are largely useless anyway.

Who will not heed Mélanie may heed St. Gregory the Great: "... Unless the same Spirit is in the heart of the one who learns, unprofitable is the word of the teacher ... Unless He is within who will teach us, the tongue of the teacher labors in vain. All alike hear the voice of the speaker, yet all do not understand alike the meaning of the words they hear. Since the word is the same, why do your hearts not understand alike, if not for the reason that, although the voice of the speaker is directed towards all, it is the Master within us who teaches us what is said, and some more than others?" (Serno 30 In Evangelia)

We can do no better than to introduce the Secret with the same words Melanie used before setting down her recital of the marvelous happening at La Salette:

"I obey the most holy Virgin Mother of God and Mother of all believers. I submit this publication to the judgment of the Holy Apostolic See, and I declare condemned in advance all found therein contrary to Catholic doctrine:"

'Capsula Mundi' Burial Rites In The New Laudato Si Church Built To Serve Evil Spirits Who Will Have Great Power Over Nature

“Evil books will be abundant on earth and the sprits of darkness will spread everywhere a universal slackening of all that concerns the service of God. They will have great power over Nature: there will be churches built to serve these spirits. People will be transported from one place to another by these evil spirits, even priests, for they will not have been guided by the good spirit of the Gospel which is a spirit of humility, charity and zeal for the glory of God. Our Lady of La Salette 19 Sept. 1846 (Published by Mélanie 1879)
Some of you who have stumbled across this blog may think I am making things up....this is reality. The blog takes its view from the words of Our Lady spoken at La Salette as written down by Mélanie in 1879. Many of these posts are in reference to the vengeance that Nature is about to rain down on mankind because of the sins of the priests and of course your sins as well. I also take from the above section of the message on this: 
there will be churches built to serve these spirits. 
Churches built to serve demons? Why would anyone other than satanists want to build a church to serve evil spirits?

Because:
They [Evil Spirits] will have great power over Nature 
 People will be transported from one place to another by these evil spirits, even priests
And considering that Nature will take its vengeance on mankind because of the sins of mankind - meaning - very great natural disasters, some lost souls will look to other than the Catholic Church to save them from the dreaded natural disasters. And who will give the appearance of saving men from natural disasters? The evil spirits who have been given power over nature. In order to honor and appease these evil spirits who have control over nature demented men will build churches in their honor.  These evil churches will have sacraments and worship rites. This evil church will mock and ape the true Roman Catholic Faith and Sacraments.

What form will these evil sacraments & evil customs & evil worship take on?

Well for starters the 'gospel' of this church is the encyclical Laudato Si. Since there are four Gospels I would like that this new church to serve evil spirits will also have four gospels. If Laudato Si is the first gospel expect three more.

As for worship rites in this church that serves evil spirits I was caught off guard and did not seeing this one coming:
New green burial plans will see corpses placed in giant 'seed pod' chambers with a tree growing out of the top in a scheme to turn graveyards into 'sacred forests' 
Two artists are developing a bizarre new method of burial - in which a corpse is stuffed inside a giant capsule and buried below ground to nourish a newly-planted tree. Italian designers Anna Citelli and Raoul Bretzel have created the 'Capsula Mundi' concept - a radical programme designed to 'promote the realization of green cemeteries'. They hope their proposed method of burial will catch on to the point cemeteries will 'no longer be full of tombstones and will become a sacred forest'
On their website, the pair write: 'Death is a mysterious, delicate and inevitable step. The dead cannot be just a technical problem, it cannot be treated as a taboo. 'Capsula Mundi saves the life of a tree and proposes to plant one more. By planting different kinds of trees next to each other it creates a forest.  Daily Mail Read More>>>>>>
Here is the website for the designers Anna Citelli and Raoul Bretzel and their own description of their wicked project to do away with Catholic Cemeteries:
Capsulamundi
It’s the first Italian project created to promote the realization of green cemeteries in our country. Capsula Mundi is a container with an old perfect shape, just like an egg, made with modern material -starch plastic- in which the dead body is put in a fetal position. Capsula Mundi is planted like a seed in the soil, and a tree is planted on top of it. The tree is chosen when the person is alive, relatives and friends look after it when death occurs. A cemetery will no longer be full of tombstones and will become a sacred forest.
The reason why Catholics buried their dead next to a church is that the dead could be remembered by those who attend Mass. Death was ever before their eyes when they had to pass the church cemetery on the way to Mass

Church Yard Cemetery

But these deluded folk would rather have you not remember the dead or pray for the dead. These wicked souls would replace the church yard cemetery with a memory forest. These two will have you forget the dead and forget your own death:

Very Strange & Bizarre Portent? The Same NJ Priest Who's Church Was Flooded By Hurricane Sandy Now Pulls Out A Musket On A Boy Over Football Just Days Before The Arrival Of Hurricane Joaquin!

Hurricane Joaquin 
Non-Event?
First the good news:


Millions along the east coast breathed a little easier on Friday after forecasters said hurricane Joaquin would probably veer out to sea instead of joining up with a drenching rainstorm that is bringing severe flooding to parts of the Atlantic seaboard. For days, various computer models showed Joaquin hitting North Carolina’s Outer Banks, New Jersey, New York’s Long Island or Cape Cod, Massachusetts. But on Friday, with Joaquin over the Bahamas, the US National Hurricane Center director, Rick Knabb, said the hurricane was no longer expected to make a direct hit. “The models have become much more in agreement, and we are pretty confident the hurricane is going to pass well offshore of the east coast of the US,” he said. That did not mean the danger was over. Guardian Read More >>>>>>>>>>

Now the stupid news:



Kevin Carter alleged to have pointed musket at eight-year-old after he said he would support New York Giants’ rivals A New Jersey priest is alleged to have pointed a gun at an eight-year-old boy because he was a fan of the Dallas Cowboys. Bergen County prosecutors say that Kevin Carter, a priest at St Margaret of Cortona Roman Catholic church in Little Ferry, asked to see the boy in private on 13 September. Carter is a New York Giants fan and was unhappy the boy was supporting their divisional rivals, the Cowboys, later that day. Carter reportedly told the boy to stand against a wall before pointing a civil war style musket at him. “As he raised his weapon and pointed it at the boy, he said, ‘I’m going to shoot you,’” Bergen County prosecutor John Molinelli told NBC 4 New York on Friday. The boy was unharmed but Carter faces charges of endangering the welfare of a child and aggravated assault by pointing a firearm. “The young boy was apparently a fan of a particular football team, the priest was not. So perhaps we have indication it started out as that,” Molinelli said. “There’s no such thing as joking around with a weapon when you’re dealing with an eight-year-old kid.” The Guardian Read More>>>>>>>

Now the bizarre connection:
St. Margaret of Cortona Re-opens Its Doors
After nine months of exile from their flood-damaged church, parishioners of St. Margaret of Cortona Church in Little Ferry celebrated its rededication Sunday. 
“We were looking forward to today,” said Giulio Vlacancich, a parishioner for 40 years. “At one point, we didn’t know whether we could go back, so it’s a great feeling.” 
“My dear people, I have good news for you, St. Margaret of Cortona Church has been raised from the dead,” Auxiliary Bishop John Flesey said during his homily, drawing applause from the more than 800 people in attendance. 
The two-hour Mass began with a procession from the parish center where parishioners had been worshipping on Sundays since Superstorm Sandy last fall. 
At the door of the church, trustee Regina Coyle declared: “The floodwaters of Hurricane Sandy have receded and we are now ready to worship in our new church.” 
“Go within the Lord’s gates giving thanks,” Bishop Flesey replied. With that, pastor Rev. Kevin Carter unlocked the doors and parishioners entered inside. 
The rituals of bringing the church back to spiritual life began with the blessing of the baptismal font’s water, followed by a rite of sprinkling the marble altar, the four walls and the assembly. 
Later, Bishop Flesey consecrated the altar by anointing it with Sacred Chrism. Then incense filled the church when a brazier was kindled on the altar and deacons carried swaying censers throughout the aisles. 
At the end of the Mass, Father Kevin was formally installed as pastor. Although he has been at the church since February, he said he purposely saved the official transfer for Sunday’s celebration. 
“In Christ we are stronger than the storm,” he said, later adding that the task of building would not end with the estimated $1 million restoration. The floodwaters caused floors and walls to buckle and damaged pews. Repairs were first made in the parish center, which for a week after Sandy served as a community emergency center. Work will now shift to the rectory, where Father Kevin has lived, using a microwave and hot plate in his upstairs rooms. Downstairs, the kitchen is stripped bare and, where carpeting once covered the floors, planks form an awkward path across open support beams. 
But it was the joy of the day that Father Kevin reflected upon during the festive Mass. 
“What more can a priest want than to proclaim the paschal mystery: that Jesus died and rose?” he said. “We’re called not just to build a building but to build a community.”
I've heard of dogs, birds, cats, etc... acting strange just before an earthquake, but a priest acting strange just before the arrival of a Hurricane?
