ST PIUS X AND HOLY COMMUNION..

Last week we had the feast of St Pius X and on Sunday the Gospel of John in which Jesus promotes the eating of HIs Flesh and lost many followers in doing so.   It was indeed a 'hard saying' and among the followers of the ant-catholic Spirit of Vatican II there were many who began to question the teaching all over again.   We can note that Jesus in talking about this mentioned that 'he' who eats of this bread will live forever and I will raise 'him' up on  the last day.   As with the manna in the desert it was to keep individuals alive so that the community could survive.   The emphasis by the anti-catholics in the Church was somehow to make the community survive independent of the individual faith of the members.   So we had all the nonsense about processions of the body to the altar and receiving only as a Community.    And to ensure it was a Community exercise and not personal devotion people were forced to stand and indeed they are still forced to stand and receive in the hand.     The personal choice of individuals to kneel was out of the question and altar rails were smashed to ensure this anti-catholic doctrine prevailed.  Then of course there was an anti-catholic drive against Adoration which was a natural progress from the teaching.   Little wonder they call themselves Progressives.

As in all things contrary to the will of Christ the fruits were a disaster.    And just as the new Catechesis in schools which was brought in to combat a 50 per cent lapse in Church attendance of young people raised the lapse rate to 95 per cent so the new teaching on the Community turned people away from Christ and the Church.   The mystery of the Mass which was at the heart of attendance on Sundays was removed and we had dull Church services instead and having removed Catholic Hymns in the false Spirit of Ecumenism the music became dull, dreary, and suffocating and we went from bad to worse.    Yet Catholic Churches are still heavily influenced by people who blame everything but themselves or indeed wear the Emperors New Clothes and fail to see or perhaps do not want to see the emptiness they have created.

St Pius X introduced daily Communion into the Church and at a time when there was much debate and different ages were applied for the reception of a First Holy Communion in different countries, he consulted the Bishops of the Word and made a universal age of 7 years.   It is in Canon Law.   Yet there are parishes where this group of ant-catholics make up their own minds.   I was involved in a dispute on this.  I sent all the information on the subject and demonstrated that no priest or group of people can act against the Church.  I of course was ignored.  The truth is that they were running the Church according to their own laws and they did not give a damn about the wider Church.   But this law still applies and if a parent wants their child to make a First Holy Communion at the age of 7 then all they have to do is first apply to the parish priest and if this fails take the matter to the Bishop.   Why do Catholics accept such dictatorship?

Translation of Luke 1: 28 in the Latin Vulgate by St Jerome.

.......et ingressus angelus ad eam dixit have gratia plena Dominus tecum benedicta tu in mulieribus..... If indeed we are to have a Year of the Bible and indeed praise St Jerome, as indeed he deserves to be praised, for translating the texts approved by the Church into Latin, the language of the Mass, then surely we should check what the Latin says according to St Jerome before we rush into translating into other languages.    In this case translating  from the Gospel of Luke, St Jerome wrote the above, which translates  "..and entering the angel said to her 'Hail full of grace the Lord is with you and blessed are you among women".   Now you do not have to be a scholar to realise that this means much more than 'highly favoured'.   So why I ask myself does the translation we read in our Catholic Church at the gospel read 'highly favoured' rather than 'full of grace'  Why is this important?   Because if she was born 'full of grace' t

FAIR AS THE MOON, BRIGHT AS THE SUN, TERRIBLE AS AN ARMY SET IN BATTLE ARRAY

'Who is she that comes forth as the morning rising, fair as the moon, bright as the sun, terrible as an army set in battle array'. The above quote will be familiar to only a few Catholics today,   It was once on the lips of members of the Legion of Mary which was present in many parishes.    Fair as the moon and bright as the sun certainly describes Our Lady of Fatima but who exactly is meant by 'terrible as an army set in battle array?'   Certainly Our Lady appeared to ask us to pray for the conversion of sinners many of who were going to Hell for their sins as forewarned by her Son Jesus when he preachedHis Gospel.  Often we are trying and feel we are succeeding in living good lives when suddenly everything goes wrong  Like St Paul we often do the things we do not want to do rather than those that we want to do.   It is because we are involved in a war between Good and Evil and we are the children of Mary that the red Dragon wishes to devour in Revelations 12    We

The meaning of 'virgo Immaculata'

Image
As you will see from the stained glass window the name given to the image is Virgo Immaculata.   Mary was the virgin who remained sinless and spotless.  Yes she would have been tempted by Satan, but as the image shows she kept close to God in prayer and all the wiles of Satan, the forbidden fruit he offered, depictdd by the apple, ended up stuck in his throat while the right foot of Mary crushed his head. "I will put enmity between Thee and the woman and between thy seed and her seed", God tole the serpent in Genesis   Satan was no match for Jesus who was God made Man but he had overcome a mere mortal before in Eve, What a triumph it would have been to destroy she whom Jesus loved above al others - his mother.   But Mary kept close to Jesus and to God, the new Eve, and mother of the new children that the death of Jesus brought into being.    And as Revelations 12 tells us having failed to destroy the birth of Jesus Satan  went after her other children - us.       When
