Pope Leo XIII on the Most Holy Eucharist: The chief means whereby men are engrafted on the divine nature – Encyclical MIRAE CARITATIS

 “It is not too much to say that a great part of the human race seems to be calling down upon itself the anger of heaven; though indeed the crop of evils which has grown up here on earth is already ripening to a just judgment. Here then is a motive whereby the faithful may bestirred to a devout and earnest endeavour to appease God the avenger of sin, and to win from Him the help which is so needful in these calamitous times.”

Familiaris Consortio (November 22, 1981) | John Paul II           

“The Role of the Family in the Modern World” is a drastically different teaching than that of Pope Francis Amoris Laetitia, and it appears as if not only can’t the two be reconciled but there aren’t even any attempt to do so

By the lack of the attempts to reconcile the two contrasting teaching is there a statement in and of itself that this a new form of Catholicism ermerging that is breaking with the continuity of past sacred tradition –? More than a few theologians and Catholic journalists seem to think so

Cardinal Burke: ‘Highly questionable’ to say Islam worships Christian God and is therefore peaceful | News | LifeSite

‘The recognition that Nostra Aetate is not dogmatic may lead the Society of St. Pius X, a traditionalist group with an irregular canonical status, to full Communion with Rome. Many Catholics view the contentious Vatican II document as unclear or even at odds with Church teaching on Catholicism being the one true faith.’

Its more difficult to tell the real hard truths than gloss over false mercy and false optimism The glass is more half full when the landscape is painted in a realism illustrating the layout of the mine fields and turbulent waters that surround us without hiding it as the rest seem so adept at . The new majority having all gotten A + grades in pluralistic speaking class and ‘frameworks of ambiguity and personal definition’ class

The Incarnation – A God that would enter his own creation and sacrifice himself to open a gate of escape to live forever with him and the understanding that his own Mother’s heart was sacrificially offered to co-mediate with His graces is never discussed by the new Pharisees of our beloved mystical Body of Christ – only their daily intentions of their latest radical liberal initiatives and the endless debates of their defense as to what constitutes heresy and what does not, in their definition of course, which is now being redefined, by themselves

SSPX Has Accepted The Proposal Of A Personal Prelature Like Opus Dei  with details forthcoming over the next several weeks      Establishment Catholic media and liberal media are in rejection mode at the statements of the Prefect of the Commissioner of Ecclesia Dei that stated SSPX IS CORRECT in insisting the truth be stated that Vatican II propositions are non binding AND non doctrinal

Using google translator off the Italian newswire as follows

https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.periodistadigital.com%2Freligion%2Fvaticano%2F2016%2F08%2F13%2Freligion-iglesia-vaticano-monsenor-guido-pozzo-ecclesia-dei-la-fraternidad-de-san-pio-x-ha-aceptado-la-proposicion-de-una-prelatura-personal.shtml

The Secretariat Prefect also stated that

” it is also true of SSPX insistence that ecumenism with other religions and especially non-Christian religions IS an “innovation to the teachings of the Catholic Church and that it does deviate from the continuity of the deposit of Faith”And the dogma declaration that ‘there is no salvation outside the Church’ ( extra ecclesiam nulla salus) was NOT altered by Vatican II and is still in affect ” !    Because of his public statements to the press on the record at their insistence towards communion, SSPX, they said, will accept COMMUNION WITH ROME !

Many were unaware that the SSPX was in Communion with Rome from their formation at Vatican II until the 1988 dispute which was only about the ecclesiastical rubrics of canon law on the ordination of new Bishops to their society. Nor recognized of their beginnings as the high level prelates party of conservative traditional Catholics at Vatican II that were originally called ‘The Holy Ghost Fathers’

In contrast to what many say in relation to the need for them to be treated like protestants coming into the Church ,they are not protestants  They are traditional Catholics come to evangelize the majority who are Cathlo-protestantants within the Catholic Church

Statistics vary depending on which source it comes from but we’re talking about between 50 million and 100 million Catholics worldwide  that are about to become “in communion ” with Rome

Some of the beautiful Sacred Tradition and associated theology that make up the oral tradition elements of the Word of God handed down to us through divine revelation

Although the Eastern Liturgical tradition has their focal point on Her Dormition in sacred art and prayer it is technically incorrect to insinuate this view is the established Catholic view (See the Novus Moticus link below for reference to this subject)

Dormition gives suggestion of veneration of an empty above ground sarcophagus.The truth of the matter is that the Church does not define everything all the time – The Church has never defined as to whether she was taken up alive or dead

The early orthodox of the west maintained she was taken up ALIVE Many great homilies and teaching testimonies of the Priests and Friar theologians of the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculata have given great witnesses to same.

The key understanding is that we are FREE as Catholics to hold either to be their devotional understanding both cannot be true – Truth is absolute however and of course one or the other, we will learn, is what happened

We see in early western art the visible spectacle of our Queen being taken up by heavenly powers with wide open eyes – open arms and raptured in a state of prayer

Elijah an old covenant prophet, as most are familiar with , was taken up alive – Body , Soul AND Chariot – How can we believe that our God would not do the same for his Mother – – Conceived without sin and a predestined perfect human being ?!

And this is why we know that we still have recourse to Her as an intercessor to our God

Matt.22 “`I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not God of the dead, but of the living.”

Mark.12 “He is not God of the dead, but of the living…”

Luke.20 | Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living; for all live to him.”

The nice things about the Church having not declared which way she was taken up, alive or dead, while you wait to find out the final conclusion it will not, the Church tells us , affect our salvation for being wrong as to which one we chose to believe

---

Other acceptable traditions is that she lived some say for three years and others for fifteen years after Christ’s Ascension. Two factions claim her home of departure , one Jerusalem and the other Ephesus – Although Jerusalem could have been a guest home where she sometimes pilgrimaged to, it is more likely that her continuing apostolate was in Ephesus – which was closer to the Mother of John the Baptist family who came from the hermitages of the Essenes along the Dead Sea and we find within the writings of community of the Dead See Scrolls their continuing chants and vigil for the coming of the Son of Man and to which the liberal Jews considered them a sect , very similar to the way the mainstream Church today considers orthodox Catholics

Early 2nd century liturgical books have same types of veneration and prayer

Several in the east have traditions where she was assumed 3 days after the Ascension of Christ with old festal observances on the 15th and 18th of August and others have 40 days

What is certain is that there were recorded generations of the Assumption veneration very early on and in conjunction with her January 1st nativity

Her birth was the earliest of the Feasts that had good formal records in Rome – as seen here on New Advent
