Semper Fi Catholic

I think what sister was saying was that the Blessed Mother (our heavenly Mother) wants us to say the rosary daily. If our own (earthly) mother were to ask us to do something and we did not do it, wouldn't we be disobedient? Please keep in mind I am paraphrasing what sister said here and not quoting ...

I was lucky enough to hear a young nun from Fatima speak last night. She is a member of the Alliance of Holy Mary community and she visits the U.S. periodically to speak about Fatima. She has been working on the canonization of Jacinta and Francisco for the last eight years. She emphasized the impor...

I contacted the advertising dept at my diocesan newspaper today. They were advertising a pilgrimage to Medjugorje to be led by a priest (I believe he is a pastor) in this diocese. I informed them that Medjugorje was not an approved apparition site and that organized pilgimages were a no-no. They put...

I just read the St. Joseph messages within the last 10 days and was very uncomfortable with them. It's been bothering me-I'm glad you brought it up.

Hopefully Archbishop Neary's statement will get their attention, but I have a feeling that it won't take long before some of them start to demonize him.

I know that the bishop is responsible for approving apparitions. I mentioned this because this is a claim that many websites make regarding Akita-including Unity Publishing (that Cardinal Ratzinger, while at the CDF, judged Akita worthy of belief).

I know all about Spirit Daily. I was shocked to find this info there. ( He is usually more concerned with pushing apparitions-approved or not.) I definitely think that this claim should be looked into. I just know that Akita always made me uncomfortable because the statue was a replica of Our Lady o...

Just an FYI: in an article on Spirit Daily today addressing miracles and how different clerics handle them, Michael Brown mentions Sister Agnes. Apparently, the bishop who approved these revelations died and the current bishop is skeptical. The article states that Sister Agnes was asked to leave the...

The connection to Our Lady of All Nations is interesting. I was never comfortable with those "revelations." Does anyone here have an opinion on the fact that the Akita messages (approved) came from a wooden statue carved from an image of Our Lady of All nations?

I was teaching my son from the Baltimore Catechism yesterday about the sacrament of Penance. It states, "The power to forgive sins by pronouncing these words of absolution is given to the priest at his ordination. In order to exercise this power the priest must have jurisdiction, or be authorized to...

I have a book called MARY IN OUR LIFE (copyright 1954) By Rev. William G. Most. There is an excellent chapter in the book on visions and revelations. The author deals with both the people who experience visions and the people who hear about them. Father Most states,"It is obvious that we must always...

How come so many good Catholics are falling for this stuff?! How could wisdom be in such short supply?

Does anyone know anything about Olive Dawson? She is either from Ireland or England and supposedly lives only on the Eucharist. She spoke recently at a local church here on Long Island. I declined an invitation to hear her speak-I'm really not into any of this stuff anymore. But, I have MANY friends...

Denise-
Thank you for the link to this website. I really appreciate it. I haven't had a lot of free time over the last 10 days to go online. I hope to have more time in the next week to look at this site.
Thanks again-
