This is the last post for a while. We will be back in early November! I’m off to a monastery for some serious prayers.
This was just posted about 1/2 hr. ago, (Oct. 19, 2015):
“No stable, moral truth anymore…”
“Situation ethics…”
“We have to meet people at where they are…”
“”A total capitulation…”
“An act of cowardice…”
“This is not adherence to the truth….”
“What is this new language?”
“A grotesque insult…”
The following message is now circulating on FB. It comes from a true bishop providing much needed guidance and encouragement to all those fighting the good fight against the likes of a Cupich. Truly, we are seeing confrontations of bishops against bishops; none of us may remain undecided. The line in the sand has been drawn. Where do you stand?

“I was pleased to see that some Catholic journalists and internet bloggers behaved as good soldiers of Christ and drew attention to this clerical agenda of undermining the perennial teaching of Our Lord. Cardinals, bishops, priests, Catholic families, Catholic young people have to say to themselves: I refuse to conform to the neo-pagan spirit of this world, even when this spirit is spread by some bishops and cardinals; I will not accept their fallacious and perverse use of holy Divine mercy and of “new Pentecost”; I refuse to throw grains of incense before the statue of the idol of the gender ideology, before the idol of second marriages, of concubinage, even if my bishop would do so, I will not do so; with the grace of God I will choose to suffer rather than betray the whole truth of Christ on human sexuality and on marriage.”
– Bishop Athanasius Schneider.
Chicago Catholics, are your ready for the return of your Ordinary from the Synod? Look what he has in mind for you.
“When asked by LifeSiteNews if the notion of accompanying people to the sacraments who had a clear indication of conscience to do so also applied to gay couples in the Church who wish to receive Communion, Cupich indicated an affirmative answer.”
If you are not horrified, then you can’t be a real Catholic!
This petition just put out this morning has garnered over 750 signatures in a very short time. As someone commented about this, the petition will probably do no good. It may not, but at least we will have declared ourselves publicly for Christ and His church.

“If you look to the left where Our Lady’s statue used to be, that is where after every Mass, I’d go to kneel before our Lady to rest within her Immaculate Heart. Then, I’d move over to the side where St Joseph was, and there I would spend time with the lord and master of the house, St. Joseph.
“It sad to think that those particular visits will no longer be possible for-who-knows how long. How much more sad it must be for the priests who offered the traditional Latin mass there! Could you help them with donations according to your means? If not, please do pray for them and for the whole community, that the church will be magnificently restored.” _______________________________________________________________
“The Infant King statue was still standing atop the High Altar when the firefighters found it. ‘Even with all the jet streams, he was not knocked down,’ said the Rev. Michael Stein, a canon at the shrine. ‘He is three centuries old and he did not go up in flames.’ The statue did lose an arm, and its vestments were covered in ash, but Stein pointed out that the statue’s remaining hand was still held up in a sign of blessing: ‘That he was saved shows our story isn’t over here, he’s still with us, his hand is still raised in blessing, ‘ Stein said.”

The Sunday Mass will be celebrated by Msgr. Schimitz, Oct 11, at St. Thomas the Apostle church, 54725 S. Kimbark, Chicago.
The author of the following article has asked that it be disseminated far and wide. Share it with others, let everyone know.
“At the launch of the book [his biography, Cardinal Godfried Danneels] in Brussels this week, the cardinal said he was part of a secret club of cardinals opposed to Pope Benedict XVI.
“He called it a “mafia” club that bore the name of St. Gallen. The group wanted a drastic reform of the Church, to make it “much more modern”, and for Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio to head it. The group, which also comprised Cardinal Walter Kasper and the late Jesuit Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini, has been documented in Austen Ivereigh’s biography of Pope Francis, The Great Reformer.
“Rod Dreher has picked up the story at The American Conservative, and he emphasizes the importance of the fact that ‘Pentin got his hands on a copy of the authorized —repeat, authorized — biography’ – and that this is where the information is coming from, not some anonymous source.
“Marco Tosatti, the Senior Religion Correspondent for the the Italian daily, La Stampa, also did a story on this yesterday, which has now been translated by the good folks at Rorate Caeli:
The election of Jorge Bergoglio was the fruit of secret meetings that cardinals and bishops, organized by Carlo Maria Martini, held for years at St. Gall in Switzerland. This is what is claimed by Jürgen Mettepenningen and Karim Schelkens, the authors of a just published biography of the Belgian Cardinal Godfried Danneels, who refer to the group of cardinals and bishops as the “Mafiaclub”.
Danneels, according to the authors, had worked for years in preparation for the election of Pope Francis, which happened in 2013. He himself, however, in a video recorded during the presentation of the book admits that he had taken part in a secret club of cardinals that were in opposition to Joseph Ratzinger. While laughing he calls it “a Mafia club whose name was St. Gall”.
The group wanted a drastic reform of the Church, much more modern and up to date, with Jorge Bergoglio as Pope Francis at the head. And this is just as things turned out. In addition to Danneels and Martini, among the others who made up the group according to the book were the Dutch bishop Adriaan Van Luyn, the German cardinals Walter Kasper and Karl Lehman, the Italian cardinal AchilleSilvestrini and the English cardinal Basil Hume.
The Belgian newspaper “Le Vif” wrote: “ On March 13, 2013, an old acquaintance was at the side of the new Pope, Francis: Godfried Danneels. Officially he stood there in his role as the dean of the cardinal-priests, but actually he had operated for years in secret as the king-maker.”
Danneels has been invited again by Pope Francis to attend the Synod on the Family that will take place in October in Rome. But he has been severely criticized. He tried to dissuade a victim of sexual abuse from accusing the man who abused him, a bishop, who was the uncle of the victim, and because of this, at the time of the Conclave in 2013 there were those in Belgium who asked that he not be allowed to elect the new Pope.
In addition, his positions on homosexual marriage and on abortion, (according to the revelations of two parliamentarians Danneels had written to the king of Belgium urging him to sign the law that permitted it) does not seem to be in harmony with the Magisterium of the Church. And not in harmony as well with what Pope Francis affirms.
Think of the implications – not only for the excommunication of Danneels, bur also for the canonical standing of the present pope.
“Excommunication is the penalty for collusion and conspiracy to elect a given candidate. This is serious business. It is astonishing that even someone as brazen as Cardinal Daneels would admit to doing so openly, and on the record.”
For the full story as it appears at IPeter5:
Note: We here at Kankakee Latin Mass had posted the article – Intrigue at the Papal Conclave, over two years ago. But then we didn’t know the Cardinal’s name!
“Hence, too, that meaning of the sacred dogmas is ever to be maintained which has once been declared by Holy mother Church, and there must never be any abandonment of this sense under the pretext or in the name of a more profound understanding.” (Infallible declaration, Dogmatic Council, Vatican I)
Pray for an end to abortion. The greatest evil confronting this nation is not unemployment or even illegal immigration. It is the slaughter of its innocent children made even more ghoulish and Satanic by the tagging of their tiny, bloodied body parts with dollar signs.
Such people who participate in this horrific evil are a disgrace to their country. Spiritually adopt an abortionist, and pray for his or her conversion at every Mass at which you assist.
“From email black-outs to contorted oxymorons like ‘donation for remuneration,’ the lengths to which Planned Parenthood leadership will go to cover-up their illegal sale of aborted baby parts are nothing less than the desperation of a guilty conscience. Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards openly admits they receive ‘$60 per tissue specimen,’ and their contracts with StemExpress offer payments per fetus ‘determined in the clinic to be usable.’ Planned Parenthood runs their abortion and baby parts business in open disregard for the law and should be prosecuted immediately….”
