MEDJUGORJE | POPE FRANCIS DOUBTS MEDJUGORJE APPARITIONS

MEDJUGORJE | RES IPSA LOQUITOR SED QUID IN INFERNOS DICET ?

...It Seems the Voice of Reason has finally been summoned...let us with a sincere and perfect charity put this charade behind us as a family of God...and strive to strive for humility...let us hear the voice of God in the stillness of our own hearts...and the travails of our neighbor...if we have won our neighbor...indeed we have seen God...Amen

MEDJUGORJE | NEWS... WHERE GRACE BLOSSOMS...???

MEDJUGORJE | JANSENISM and the new SEMI-PELAGIANISTS

...it seems curious that the Mother of God should promote emotive humanism over faith and reason...yet this is precisely what one sees in the message which is purveyed on a popular MEDJUGORJE blogloid....

Dear children, pray and open your inner self to the Lord so that He makes of you a harmonious and beautiful flower for Paradise.

-message December ,18, 1986

...so it seems the Mother of God is espousing  the heresy of Semi-Pelagianism...such that humans on their own intiative may dispose themselves to the interior workings of grace through their own power...by asking us to open our inner self..the Mother of God is directly contradicting the council of Trent teaching on Justification....

CANON III.-If any one saith, that without the prevenient inspiration of the Holy Ghost, and without his help, man can believe, hope, love, or be penitent as he ought, so as that the grace of Justification may be bestowed upon him; let him be anathema.

Trent Session 6 Canon 3

....indeed one may open themselves up to the working of the Holy Spirit...yet this prompting or Prevenient aid must precede the intiative of the person...and this is echoed in the Gospel...

 I am the vine: you the branches: he that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing.

John 15:5 Douay Rheims

...and so we must carefully discern what sort of spirit is at work in these subtle messages which craftily put us ahead of the working of God...indeed this is the hallmark of the MEDJUGORJE phenomenon...putting oneself ahead of the judgement of the magisterium....let us all proceed with prudence temperance and in a spirit of obedience...amen

MEDJUGORJE | MESSAGE CONTRADICTS THE GOSPEL....

MEDJUGORJE | WITHOUT CHARITY I AM NOTHING.....

 

...Any Christian worth their salt is familiar with the Gospel Verse from the First Epistle of Saint Paul to the Corinthians...

 

 

Charity is to be preferred before all gifts.

 [1] If I speak with the tongues of men, and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. [2] And if I should have prophecy and should know all mysteries, and all knowledge, and if I should have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. [3] And if I should distribute all my goods to feed the poor, and if I should deliver my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. [4] Charity is patient, is kind: charity envieth not, dealeth not perversely; is not puffed up; [5] Is not ambitious, seeketh not her own, is not provoked to anger, thinketh no evil; [6] Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth with the truth; [7] Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. [8] Charity never falleth away: whether prophecies shall be made void, or tongues shall cease, or knowledge shall be destroyed. [9] For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. [10] But when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part shall be done away.

1 Corinthians 13:1-10

....now as CHristians we must ask ourselves what is meant by Charity..for many who owing to the Spirit of Nature or fallen humankind have a skewed notion of Charity...some believe Charity to be almsgiving..and so they mistake this gift or this theological virtue which is nothing more than a bond of love with which we wish to possess our neighbour and God in the same bond of friendship...in this way Charity connotes unity of will...

..Thomas Aquiinas tells us what this friendship comprises...

I answer that, According to the Philosopher (Ethic. viii, 2,3) not every love has the character of friendship, but that love which is together with benevolence, when, to wit, we love someone so as to wish good to him. If, however, we do not wish good to what we love, but wish its good for ourselves, (thus we are said to love wine, or a horse, or the like), it is love not of friendship, but of a kind of concupiscence. For it would be absurd to speak of having friendship for wine or for a horse.Yet neither does well-wishing suffice for friendship, for a certain mutual love is requisite, since friendship is between friend and friend: and this well-wishing is founded on some kind of communication.Accordingly, since there is a communication between man and God, inasmuch as He communicates His happiness to us, some kind of friendship must needs be based on this same communication, of which it is written (1 Corinthians 1:9): "God is faithful: by Whom you are called unto the fellowship of His Son." The love which is based on this communication, is charity: wherefore it is evident that charity is the friendship of man for God.

..and so one sees that Charity is based on a friendship of well wishing for another...true we are able to wish well for others without true Charity...and this well wishing if not based in the precepts of the Church is only a friendship based in self-love not in charity...of course God wants us to love ourselves ..however we are not to make our decisions based on self-love exclusively..we are to base our decisions on the precepts of Holy Mother Church..so that our friendships will draw others into the unity of the fold and by so doing all of our respective willing will be willed by ONE...who is God..and so the words of the Our Father will be made real..Thy Kingdom Come Thy WILL Be Done....

..yet at MEDJUGORJE we see a message from the Gospa which tells us that Charity is not important.. so our friendship here is based on selfhood..and not concerned with unity...of course this is a direct contradication of the Gospel and indeed is very troubling....indeed this could be a human error of transcription..where the Gospa stated one thing and through the human filter of the alleged seer we hear something else..however..if it is really the Virgin speaking at Medjugorje one doubts that she would make such a gross error..since CHarity is the life blood of the Church and without it we are lost..so too the Gospa would teach the seers the difference between Charity and ALmsgiving...so we see the Message from July 21, 1982...

"The best fast is on bread and water. Through fasting and prayer one can stop wars, one can suspend the natural laws of nature. Works of charity cannot replace fasting... Everyone except the sick, has to fast." (July 21, 1982)

...of course this message as it stands is dubious and should not be proliferated to the faithful...for we know that the Devil is wont to inspire newly initiated individuals in the way of the Spirit who lack proper guidance...into excessive mortification and excessive fanaticism...and by so doing bring about a ruin of a person's health....we must be balanced..of course not everyone can fast..some people must work hard for their living and they need to eat a balanced diet otherwise they could be killed operating heavy machinery or what have you..it is well known that the brain requires a sufficient quantity of fat in the diet for the proper physiological functioning of memory and cognition....inshort we must eat according to our vocation..and we should follow the proper Church prescribed days for fasting and abstinence...and if our vocation calls for extra-spiritual exercises.such as in a monastic setting then this should be undertaken under the guidance of a wise spiritual director....

.......we must remember Jesus as well said....

 

[11] Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man: but what cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man. [12] Then came his disciples, and said to him: Dost thou know that the Pharisees, when they heard this word, were scandalized? [13] But he answering them, said: Every plant which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. [14] Let them alone: they are blind, and leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both will fall into the pit. [15] And Peter answering, said to him: Expound to us this parable.   -Matthew 15:11-15 

[11] Not that which goeth into: No uncleanness in meat, nor any dirt contracted by eating it with unwashed hands, can defile the soul: but sin alone; or a disobedience of the heart to the ordinance and will of God. And thus when Adam took the forbidden fruit, it was not the apple, which entered into the mouth, but the disobedience to the law of God which defiled him. The same is to be said if a Jew, in the time of the old law, had eaten swine's flesh; or a Christian convert, in the days of the apostles, contrary to their ordinance, had eaten blood; or if any of the faithful at present should transgress the ordinance of God's church, by breaking the fasts: for in all these cases the soul would be defiled; not indeed by that which goeth into the mouth; but by the disobedience of the heart, in wilfully transgressing the ordinance of God, or of those who have their authority from him

.....let us all examine ourselves in a spirit of truth and self-denial..so that we walk in the Spirit of God and not according to the Spirit of Nature or the Spirit of the Devil.....amen

MEDJUGORJE | UPDATE | THE MESSAGE IS FALSE POPE FRANCIS TO RULE...

MEDJUGORJE MAY 25 th MESSAGE 2014 IS FALSE

 

 

“Dear children! Pray and be aware that without God you are dust. Therefore, turn your thoughts and heart to God and to prayer. Trust in His love. In God’s spirit, little children, you are all called to be witnesses. You are precious and I call you, little children, to holiness, to eternal life. Therefore, be aware that this life is passing. I love you and call you to a new life of conversion. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

 

GOSPA OF MEDJUGORJE MAY 25th 2014

 

...now the problem with the message as it stands is God is the first efficient cause of all things..we participate our being with that of God...

 

..now we see that our form is dictated by the nature of our soul..since a soul is nothing more than the substantial form  an animate being....God is the author of souls

 

..now since God is himself formless..transcendent...however he is the first cause of all form...and so without God there would be no form nor matter...

 

..hence it follows that there would be NO DUST...

&

..without God we little children would be NOTHING for we would not have a form nor matter...

 

..so we have the VIRGIN making a mistake here...true the mistake could be an error in translation,,however if the recipient heard the word NOTHING from the lips of Gospa and iterated it as DUST we see there is a big difference between dust and nothing...

 

..indeed the DEVIL hides in the DETAILS...

 

let us be all on our guard so that the DEVIL does not catch us napping...amen

 

 

 

MEDJUGORJE POPE FRANCIS' VERDICT....

MEDJUGORJE POPE FRANCIS' RULING....THE CALUMNY CHAPEL OF MEDJUGORJE

 

......Calumny.......

 

-Calumny of Apelles, Sandro Boticelli Circa 1495

 

....commentary on the painting....

 

On the right of the painting sits Midas with very large ears, extending his hand to Slander while she is still at some distance from him. Near him, on one side, stand two women—Ignorance and Suspicion. On the other side, Slander (Calumny) is coming up, a woman beautiful beyond measure, but full of malignant passion and excitement, evincing as she does fury and wrath by carrying in her left hand a blazing torch and with the other dragging by the hair a young man who stretches out his hands to heaven and calls the gods to witness his innocence. She is conducted by a pale ugly man who has piercing eye and looks as if he had wasted away in long illness; he represents envy. There are two women in attendance to Slander, one is Fraud and the other Conspiracy. They are followed by a woman dressed in deep mourning, with black clothes all in tatters—she is Repentance. At all events, she is turning back with tears in her eyes and casting a stealthy glance, full of shame, at Truth, who is slowly approaching.

 

-Lucian (On Calumny)

Calumny

Latin: (Calvor, to use artifice, to deceive)

“Etymologically any form of ruse or fraud employed to deceive another, particularly in judicial proceedings. In its more commonly accepted signification it means the unjust damaging of the good name of another by imputing to him a crime or fault of which he is not guilty. The sin thus committed is in a general sense mortal, just as is detraction..... Objectively, a calumny is a mortal sin when it is calculated to do serious harm to the person so traduced. Just as in the instance of wrongful damage to person or estate, so the calumniator is bound to adequate reparation for the injury perpetrated by the blackening of another's good name. He is obliged (1) to retract his false statements, and that even though his own reputation may necessarily as a consequence suffer. (2) He must also make good whatever other losses have been sustained by the innocent party as a result of his libellous utterances, provided these same have been in some measure (in confuso) foreseen by him. In canon law the phrase juramentum calumniae is employed to indicate the oath taken by the parties to a litigation, by which they averred that the action was brought and the defence offered in good faith.”

-Catholic Encyclopedia

..we see that in MEDJUGORJE serious harm has been meted upon the Authoritative character of two good Bishops at Mostar since many in the clergy as well as the lay faithful have openly ignored his directives....which is to desist from attributing any supernatural character to these messages...and to submit all messages to him.. the current 4^th commission had not abrogated his authority on the matter & it is the Bishop’s canonical duty to guide the faithful and many have willfully ignored this duty to comply...thus spreading scandal in the Church and leading many to complicit membership of the CALUMNY CHAPEL OF MEDJUGORJE...

-Taking of Christ, Caravaggio 1602

..now if one is objective and uses reason along with faith in the articles and laws of the Church one is able if guided by Counsel (prudence or the execution of right reason guided by the HOLY SPIRIT)..one will see that the sin of detraction and calumny is being committed against the good BISHOP of Mostar as well as his predecessor....since many proponents of MEDJUGORJE willfully claim that he has never had any authority but only personal opinion equivalent in measure to any lay person to discern these visions or to vanquish the promotion of such phenomenon as a supernatural occurrence....indeed this is no true..since according to the Canons of Church of which God is the first efficient formal cause we see it written...

Can. 375 §1. Bishops, who by divine institution succeed to the place of the Apostles through the Holy Spirit who has been given to them, are constituted pastors in the Church, so that they are teachers of doctrine, priests of sacred worship, and ministers of governance.

Can. 377 §1. The Supreme Pontiff freely appoints bishops or confirms those legitimately elected

...so one sees the Bishop is entrusted with the duty to govern the faithful with whom he is entrusted...the Pope has appointed such Bishop and so if one defies a Bishop they are defying the Supreme Pontiff indirectly....true Bishops who compel us to sin are not to be obeyed since this would fall out of the spiritual jurisdiction of their authority..however at MEDJUGORJE two good Bishops have never given anyone permission to sin through a directive....and so according to the law of the Church we are bound to obey....indeed until the results of the 4^th commission are made public the faithful are bound by the Bishop’s ruling as well as the Zadar Commission of not to make any pilgrimage a validation of supernatural events which call for further study if necessary....

Indeed the apparition itself has calumniated the Bishop which is quite quite a pity...from the chronicles of the apparition one reads...

"On 19 06 1983, being present the visionaries Jakov, Marija and Ivica, Our Lady appeared. After having answered some questions about the sick, by herself began to talk about you, Excellency. These are the thoughts that she told me : Tell the Bishop that I seek a quick conversion from him towards the happenings in Medjugorje, before it is too late. May he accept these events with plenty of love, understanding and great responsibility. I want him to avoid creating conflicts between priests and to stop publicizing their negative behaviours.
The Holy Father has given all bishops the duty to fulfill certain tasks in their respective dioceses. Among these, bishops are to solve problems and arguments. The bishop is the spiritual father of all the parishes in Hercegovina. For this reason I seek his conversion towards these events. I am sending my second-last warning. If what I seek does not come about, my judgement and the judgement of my Son await the Bishop. This means that he has not found the way to my Son Jesus.

...what judgement could the Virgin be speaking of since private revelations are never required for eternal salvation since they are not part of the deposit of faith and no one is obliged to believe...indeed the Virgin by making this statement is damaging the Bishops freedom and repudiating his fidelity to the doctrines of the Church...in effect she is saying he is a BAD Catholic....and so giving the faithful more fodder with which to defame his good character...

As well one reads.....

"26 April 1982 Monday
The bishop - she says – doesn’t possess a scrap of the true love of God for those two.
With regard to the bishop, Ivica and Ivan should be peaceful because he has placed a too heavy load on their shoulders, only to get rid of them. In fact, he has begun with the younger (friars) and then more and more forward [...] The bishop is not acting according to the will of God, and can do what he wants. But one day justice will be done, of the sort you haven’t seen for a long time. I will begin to slowly tidy all this and many Friars will be irradiated by a great happiness."

..now only God is the just judge...for Our Lady to read the breadth and depth of one’s soul in such a way is incorrect theologically speaking ...true we can judge whether a person has acted in a sinful manner but we cannot judge the content of the soul...by this statement Our Lady has caused many people to have a negative impression of the Bishop who is only doing his duty according to God’s Church which is no sin...it is calumnious for Our Lady to speak this way and as Pope Francis said recently in a homily..calumny is a device of the DEVIL....

“Calumny aims to destroy the work of God, and calumny comes from a very evil thing: it is born of hatred. And hate is the work of Satan. Calumny destroys the work of God in people, in their souls. Calumny uses lies to get ahead.” Be in no doubt, he said: “Where there is calumny, there is Satan himself."

-Pope Francis

..many good Catholics have been deceived by the spin doctors who promote MEDJUGORJE as a place where supernatural apparitions occur ..these are effectively bypassing the lawful agents of the Church....some do this through lack of prudence some do this knowingly and so incur greater guilt before God....

..now let us all examine ourselves through a spirit of honesty and simplicity so that we do not let the vice of the devil implant itself insidiously in our soul...amen

MEDJUGORJE POPE FRANCIS: INFORMAL OPPROBRIUM

MEDJUGORJE POPE FRANCIS: INFORMAL OPPROBRIUM

..from the words of Pope Francis in a recent homily...

 

“The spirit of curiosity distances us from the Spirit of wisdom…which gives us peace,” Pope Francis said at this morning’s mass in St. Martha’s House in the Vatican. Bergoglio emphasised that the Virgin Mary “is not postmistress, who sends messages every day" and asked faithful to understand that “the Kingdom of God is among us” and we should “not seek strange things.”

 

...we see the Pope is referring to visions on demand..these types of visions subvert the faith...by replacing the things not seen with things seen and touched...to walk in the dark light of faith is to walk in the way of abnegation (mortification)...or agnosia...the way of forgetting...when the soul has cleared itself of everything it is only God which remains...

...curiosity is a form of anxiety...it is taken as a vice opposed to wisdom if pursued with impetus of pride and self glory...

As St. Augustine says

Augustine says (De Morib. Eccl. 21): "Some there are who forsaking virtue, and ignorant of what God is, and of the majesty of that nature which ever remains the same, imagine they are doing something great, if with surpassing curiosity and keenness they explore the whole mass of this body which we call the world. So great a pride is thus begotten, that one would think they dwelt in the very heavens about which they argue."

 

As St Thomas Aquinas says curiosity becomes a vice opposed to virtue when…

, when a man studies to know the truth above the capacity of his own intelligence, since by so doing men easily fall into error: wherefore it is written (Sirach 3:22): "Seek not the things that are too high for thee, and search not into things above thy ability . . . and in many of His works be not curious," and further on (Sirach 3:26), "For . . . the suspicion of them hath deceived many, and hath detained their minds in vanity."

..of course this can do no-one any good since the knowledge they glean will be abused and be cast as pearls of wisdom before swine….curiosity is also known as concupiscence of the eyes since it is concerned mainly with the lust of knowledge for its own sake and not for the properly ordered knowledge of wisdom which is related to charity…

..as well if abnegation of the imagination exercises faith and abnegation of the will exercises charity and abnegation of the memory exercises hope then it follows that daily apparitions are an enemy to faith hope and charity…the three theological virtues…since daily apparitions provide food for the imagination to gorge in spiritual lust after signs and beautiful images, they provide food for the memory in which to bask and feel consoled thus subverting hope in the world to come and replacing it with rest in this world..as well by allowing the will to attach the intellect to such curiosities a soul fails in charity since it detaches itself from the love of neighbor and loses God who forever dwells in the moment…since such a one thinks of their own desires and seeks to satiate their own curiosity and fails in seeking God’s will..without charity no virtue is pleasing to God..since God is charity…

MEDJUGORJE COMMISSION POPE FRANCIS: Neo-Revelationists & PEACE???

MEDJUGORJE  COMMISSION POPE FRANCIS: Neo-Revelationists & PEACE???

 

 ...the spiritual quagmire that is the phenomenon of MEDJUGORJE is a substantial departure from the truth contained within the Gospel...the truth of which Jesus announced he was the incarnation of and of whom this truth ennobled within would make one free...

.....to be prepossessed of spiritual poverty one must not forsake material goods per se but be at odds with them if these articles tear asunder a soul from  love of Christ and engendering of truth within....

...to be spiritually impoverished means to remove all obstacles which stand in the way of  the achievement of perfect spiritual potency....whether thought, desire, or temporal chattel....

..in some vocations the use of material goods is a benefit yet in other vocations material goods can hinder God’s will for a soul..indeed the beauty of poverty is seen in the merit which is awarded to the practitioner who for love of the privations and sacrifices which involve its practice unites a soul to the Cross of Christ through true unity of the mystical body of Christ....

 

..to be spiritually impoverished means to be empty of any impetus for action save that of desiring to do God’s will in all things..

..in the pursuit of heroic virtue a vow of poverty is required as a promise to God that interiorly one will forsake all temporal conveniences in a spirit of constant renunciation in order to follow Christ to the best of one’s ability....

..in summary to be spiritually impoverished means to mortify the memory of any temporal good and fill it with hope of the world to come....

...now POPE FRANCIS chose as his eponym  St. Francis of Assisi or Il poverello (the  poor one)...

 

....St Francis was a mendicant friar of the middle ages who was gifted with  graces and nurtured the holy desire to emulate Christ ...conscientiously seeking Christ in the poor and disenfranchised....to preach the Gospel with actions since through obedience to the whims of one’s neighbour one cannot fake the action yet one can easily fake the exterior expression (acting)....

 

...as we see to practice poverty one must vow and promise God that one will be obedient to one’s neighbour in whom Christ dwells...and also to be obedient to ones spiritual superiors ..upon our baptism and subsequent confirmation we all make a reasonable tacit vow to pursue Christ and forsake satan who is the spirit of contention...and so we see as it makes it clear in the Catholic Encyclopedia...

 

A sin against the vow of poverty is necessarily an offence against the virtue of religion, and when committed in connexion with religious profession it is even a sacrilege. It may be a grave or a slight offence. The question, what matter is grave, causes great difficulty to moral theologians; and while some regard the appropriation of one franc as a grave matter, others are more lenient. Most theologians are inclined to compare the sin against the vow of poverty with the sin of theft, and say that the same amount which would make theft a mortal sin would, if appropriated contrary to the vow, constitute a grave offence against poverty

 

.now to end this short summary of holy poverty we can reflect on a verse from the little flowers of St. Francis and from some of the wisdom from one his early followers Brother Giles….

 

 

A certain Religious once complained of his superior in the presence of Brother Giles, because of a severe obedience which he had received from him; to whom Brother Giles made answer: "Dearest brother, the more thou complainest, the heavier dost thou make thy burden, and the harder will it be to carry; but the more humbly and devoutly thou submittest thy neck to the yoke of holy obedience, the sweeter and the lighter will that yoke be to bear. But it seems to me that thou art not willing to bear reproach in this world for the love of Christ, and yet desirest in the next world to be with Christ; thou art not willing in this world to be persecuted and evil spoken of for Christ, yet in the other world thou wouldst fain be blessed and welcomed by Christ; thou willest not to labour in this world, and thou wouldst repose and take thy rest in the other. Brother, brother! I tell thee that thou dost grievously deceive thyself, for it is by the way of shame, humiliation and reproach that a man attaineth to true celestial glory; and by patiently enduring derision and contumely for the love of Christ, doth a man attain to the glory of Christ. For the worldly proverb saith well: `He who gives not what costs him something, shall not receive that which he desires.

 

..when one weighs these words against the phenomenon at MEDJUGORJE one can honestly see many truancies and diversions from the spirit of truth..let us all examine ourselves through a recollected spirit…amen
