[Greek] μωρός (mōros), [Latin] fatuus, [Latin] stultus, [Latin] imprudens, [Latin] stupidus, [German] dumm: dull, insipid, foolish, stupid, unwise, dull-witted; Mt.5:22, Mt.7:26, Mt.23:17,19, Mt.25:2,3,8, 1Cor.1:25,27, 1Cor.3:18, 1Cor.4:10, 2Tim.2:23, Tit.3:9
Mater Populi Fedelis provides another illustration in how the Vatican seeks to downgrade the role and status of Mary in the Church. The Vatican also has downgraded its criteria for Marian apparitions.
Background information:
Greek Hellenism: This term means dull, sluggish (of the nerves), stupid, folly, foolish, and insipid (flat taste). Regarding the intellect, this term can refer to dullness, lack of judgment, and a deficiency of intellectual or spiritual capacity. In medicine, this term refers to slackness, fatigue or dulling of the nerves. In hibernation, animals act sluggishly in winter.
Xenophon’s Anabasis 7.6.21: “Are you not ashamed of being so stupidly deceived? But to be deceived seems to be more shameful than to be deceived.”
Aristophanes’ Ecclesiazusae 474: “It’s and old saying that our absurdist and maddest decrees always somehow turn out for our own good.”
Euripides’ Medea 614: “You would be a fool not to accept this offer. Forget your anger and it will be better for you.”
Demosthenes’ Phillipic 3 9.54: “But you have reached such a height of folly or madness. I know not what to call it.”
Sophocles’ Antigone 469: “And if my present actions are foolish in your sight, it may be that it is a fool who accuses me of folly.”
Old Testament: This term means foolish, folly, arrogant, senseless, stupid, quarrelsome, and wicked.
Foolishness (folly):
- Folly is the unintentional and intentional lack of knowledge of God.
- Having eyes that do not see and having ears that do not hear. Foolishness can involve arrogance, religious indifference, and lack of understanding.
- Folly can be condemned as apostasy from God. Foolishness and wickedness can ruin and destroy one’s relationships with God.
- Evil and corrupt leaders/rulers are often perceived as fools.
- Devotion to idols is seen as foolish and scandalous.
- The wisdom of Sirach is seen as a rule of life (warning) against human foolishness.
New Testament: This term means being foolish, foolishness, simplemindedness, and God’s ‘foolishness’ (wisdom).
Scripture:
Mt.5:22: “But I say to you, whoever is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment, and whoever says to his brother, ‘Raqa’, will be answerable to the Sanhedrin, whoever says, ‘you fool’ will be liable to the fiery Gehenna.” (Anger is the motive behind murder. It is important to settle these disputes. Otherwise, you may be subject to a judge’s severe judgment. This alludes to the unrepentant sinner in the coming judgment of God.)
Raqa: This name is an Aramaic term meaning imbecile or blockhead.
Gehenna: This name refers to the center of an idolatrous cult in which children were offered in sacrifice. Children were aborted in honor of Molech.
Mt.7:26: “And everyone who listens to these words of mine but does NOT act on them will be like a fool who built his house on sand.” (Without a strong foundation, there is no hope of salvation. God the Father has laid His foundation of His people on His own Son.)
Having a foundation built on sand:
- Only hearing the word, but not doing (acting) upon the word.
- Relying upon one’s own works, accomplishments, stature, wisdom, learning, justification.
- Relying upon one’s own tolerance, inclusion, niceness, mercy.
- Relying upon one’s own religious training, human doctrines, ignorance of scripture.
Foolish scribes and Pharisees:
- They preach but they do not practice (Mt.23:3)
- They lay heavy burdens on others (Mt.23:4)
- They lock the kingdom of heaven before humans. You do not enter yourselves, nor do you allow entrance to those trying to enter. (Mt. 23:13)
- On the outside they appear righteous, but inside they are filled with hypocrisy and evildoing. (Mt.23:28)
Mt.25:2: “The foolish ones [virgins] when taking their lamps, brought no oil with them.” (The Parable of the Ten Virgins illustrates the foolish Christians who are not prepared and not ready to receive Jesus, the Bridegroom. This Christian is not prepared to enter into the kingdom of heaven.)
1Cor.1:25: “For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.” (Wisdom and power are found to be paradoxical in the relationship with God and man. The folly of the cross is often seen foolish contrary to all human reasoning. God’s wisdom and truth are often seen foolish by human reasoning. Likewise, man’s ‘wisdom’ is often seen foolish by God. The wisdom of this world is foolishness in the ‘eyes’ of God [1Cor.3:18]).
1Cor.1:27: “Rather, God chose the foolish of the world to shame the wise, and God chose the weak of the world to shame the strong.” (The weak and lowly, who have the riches of faith, confound those who have have riches (rank, knowledge, wealth, and power) in the world. This scripture illustrates the great differences of values.)
1Cor.3:18: “Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you considers himself wise in this age, let him become a fool as to become [truly] wise.”
Deceiving oneself: being filled up with vanity, wisdom, learning, philosophies, and human doctrines
Becoming a fool: becoming truly wise in the sight of God, submitting to the gospel, renouncing the world’s wisdom, being perceived as a fool by the world
Foolish Modernist and Synodalist clergy:
- They preach but they do not practice: Many clergy do NOT preach the Church’s teachings against homosexuality.
- They do not preach at all: Many clergy ignore, refute, “pay lip service”, or remain silent about Church teachings against homosexuality.
- They lay heavy burdens on others: Many (both clergy and laity) are led to believe that homosexuality is an acceptable lifestyle.
- On the outside they appear righteous, but inside they are filled with hypocrisy and evil doing: Many priests actively engage in the sinful homosexual lifestyle.
- They lock the kingdom of heaven before humans: Many souls will be put in mortal peril for having engaged in homosexuality at the time of their judgment.
- They produce Church documents which permit sinful activity: Fiducia Supplicans: allows for “non-liturgical blessings” for same-sex couples.
- They produce Church documents which lay heavy burdens on others: Traditiones Custodes restricting the TLM
- They follow human traditions: The Synodal Church DISREGARDS Jesus’ command TO MAKE DISCIPLES OF ALL NATIONS and TO BRING SOULS INTO HEAVEN but instead seeks to MAKE A BETTER WORLD/SEEK FAVOR WITH THE WORLD.
The Transalpine Redemptorists condemn the Vatican’s document on Mary as Co-Mediatrix and Mediatrix of All Graces:
- The primary purpose of this document is to initiate an ecumenical effort to Protestants. Catholics already know that Mary is NOT higher than our Lord.
- This document reeks of Jansenism, which seeks to minimize the status and honor of Mary. Mary must not be elevated this high.
- Jansenism downplays Our Lady’s active role at Calvary and emphasizes that Christ alone is the one Redeemer.
- Jansenists believe that “Our Lady co-redeemed the world” is pious excess and doctrinal error.
- The Transalpine Redemptorists has just called this Vatican document heretical.
- Some say that having to repeatedly explain Mary’s role in the Church is a weak argument. (In other words, the Vatican thinks the people are too dumb to understand. You just need to clearly define her role.
THE VATICAN WOULD BE FOOLISH TO IGNORE THESE APPROVED MARIAN APPARIITIONS.
Marian prophesies:
Akita (1973): “The work of the devil will infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, bishops opposing bishops. The Church will be full of those who accept compromises and the demon will press many priests and consecrated souls to leave the service of the Lord.”
- Cardinals and bishops oppose each other on Church teachings against homosexuality, moral character (chastity) vs. homosexuality proclivities of the priesthood.
- Modernist/Synodalist clergy continue to oppose the laity’s desire to celebrate the TLM.
- The laity continues to criticize the clergy who offend or cause scandal. The laity continues to criticize the clergy’ silence in responding to scandal and sacrilege.
- Compromising moral standards (toleration, inclusion, and false compassion): Church teachings are often ignored, disregarded, or watered down.
- The papacies of Pope Francis and Pope Leo continued to be defined by doctrinal and liturgical confusion and ambiguity.
Our Lady of Good Success (1635): “The sacred sacrament of holy orders will be ridiculed, oppressed and despised. These corrupted priests, who will scandalize the Christian people, will incite the hatred of bad Christians, enemies. The apparent triumph of Satan will bring enormous sufferings to the good pastors of the Church.”
- Faithful traditional (conservative) are sometimes criticized, censured, deposed, and laicized for upholding traditional Church teachings because they are “divisive“.
- Clergy often cause liturgical scandals at Masses, Vatican events, and pilgrimages.
- There are too many clergy (cardinals, bishops, and priests) who promote LGBQT “outreach” with disregards or pays lip service to Church teachings against homosexuality.
- There are too many clergy who engage in the homosexual lifestyle. This is more notable in the liberal and more progressive older generations of priests
- Too many clergy are being influenced by Satan’s efforts to undermine Church teaching, structure, doctrine, Church attendance, and vocations.
- In contrast, the younger priests and seminarians are become conservative and traditionally minded. They favor the TLM.
- The Church sex abuse scandal was greatly influenced by the clergy’s homosexual proclivities and devaluation of celibacy.
Fatima (1917): “There will be a wicked council planned and prepared that will change the countenance of the Church. Many will lose the faith. Confusion will reign everywhere. The sheep will search for the shepherds in vain. A schism will tear apart the holy tunic of My Son. The Church will bleed from Her wounds.”
“More souls go to hell because of sins of the flesh than for any other reason.” ***
- Pope John XXIII naively believed that it was necessary to “bring in fresh air (worldliness) so that the Church can get with the times.”
- Pope Paul VI later stated that the “smoke of Satan” (confusion and upheaval against the Church) has entered into the Church.
- Synodality explicitly seeks to continue what Vatican started: to make a worldly Church made in the image of man and his lived experiences. (CHANGING THE STRUCTURE OF THE CHURCH)
- Since Vatican II has lead to a pastoral and spiritual disaster for the Church: lack of Church attendance, loss of vocation, liturgical sacrilege, sex abuse scandal, and disobedience of the bishops.
- Pope Francis and Pope Leo continue to sow the seeds of doctrinal and liturgical confusion (ambiguity).
- The German Synodal Church is “renewing” and “reforming” itself into heresy and decline. (CHANGING THE STRUCTURE OF THE CHURCH)
- There continues to be a schism between traditional (conservative) Catholics and Modernists (Synodalists).
- Synodality introduces toleration, inclusion, and rejection of Church teachings. Synodality (lived experiences) take precedence over Church teachings. Synodality becomes and IDOL!
- Synodality is introducing shared decision making authority between clergy and laity in order to become a “listening Church”, redefining vocations, decentralized authority, becoming more like a Protestant Church. (CHANGING THE STRUCTURE OF THE CHURCH)
- The Vatican and Synodality continue to focus primarily on Making A BETTER WORLD and SEEKING FAVOR WITH THE WORLD. Bringing souls into heaven has become a less important priority.
Pope John XIII and the “prophets of doom”: Pope John stated that the “prophets of doom” were those critics who believed that the modern world and the Church were in a state of inevitable deterioration, decay, and pessimism. Those “prophets of doom” [illustrating the warnings of Fatma] were right!
Two Cardinals suggesting how the Mary has prophesied the problems of the Church.
“In the Third Secret, it is foretold, among other things that the great apostasy in the Church will begin at the top.” Cardinal Ciappi
“The Blessed Virgin was alerting us against apostasy in the Church.” Cardinal Oddi
The Marian apparition has NOT been technically approved by the Church. THIS IS AN EXAMPLE WHEN AN APPARTION DOES NOT NOT NEED TO BE APPROVED TO BECOME TRUE!
Garabandal (1965): “Many cardinals, many bishops, and many priests are on the road to perdition and are taking many souls with them.” (Not officially approved by the Church, but this prophecy still self-incriminates the Vatican)
- The Vatican issued Fiducia Supplicans, a document that allows “blessings” for same-sex unions. Some have said that the Church has reached its “millstone moment.“
- The Church is disregarding the grave sin of homosexuality. Many clergy and laity are putting eternal souls in mortal peril at their judgment.
- Many clergy unfortunately are engaged in the homosexual lifestyle. This also has contributed to the Church’s sexual abuse crisis.
- Kyle Clement, assistant to exorcist priest Fr. Rippenger, warns that blessing same sex unions flings the door open to the demonic.
- Some have said with Fiducia Supplicans, the Church has entered into its “millstone moment”. The Church is permitting a blessing for a sinful lifestyle so terrible that it would be preferable to be drowned by millstone around one’s neck than to engage in this sin.
New Vatican provisions regarding Marian apparitions:
Why is this a foolish and questionable provision?
- This provision states that an apparition that “creates division with the Church” will NOT be approved.
- Many of these past APPROVED Marian apparitions, prophesying divisions and problems in the Church, have already come true!
- This new Vatican provision essentially undermines and ignores these past apparitions: to provide the Church warnings of divine chastisement and punishment.
- These actions reflects more on the Vatican’s efforts to whitewash Mary and these Marian apparitions.
- Vatican Marian “expert Fr. Maurizo Gronchi claims that considering the Virgin Mary as “Co-Redemptrix or “Mediatrix” leads to a superstitious view. This view contradicts past established Catholic teaching on Mary. (Huge Red Flag!)
- It seems that the Vatican loses credibility in light of all these Marian apparitions coming true.
- The Vatican seems more interested in controlling the narrative that these Marian messages do NOT reflect negatively on the Church (clergy and laity).
More foolish nonsense from the Vatican: having to backtrack on their the Vatican document.
- The Vatican perceived that this document had pleased the Protestants and yet disappointed Catholics.
- This Vatican document has contradicted past saints’, doctors’, popes’ support for these Marian titles.
- Cardinal Fernandez “clarifies” “Co-Redemptrix” off limits in official Vatican documents, but permitted in private devotion. Yet, this undermines their statement saying, this Marian title is “always inappropriate. What???
The Church’s foolish LGBT “outreach”:
- Many clergy are ignoring, refuting, or paying lip service to the Church’s teachings against homosexuality.
- This is also evidenced by the many clergy who are actually living in a homosexual lifestyle.
- These clergy are ignoring Jesus’ statements on sin and sinning no more.
- Many laity are unaware or not being told that homosexuality is sinful. As a result, many souls are in eternal peril (unwilling or unable to enter into heaven).
- Tolerance, inclusion, and false compassion are essentially becoming a “slippery slope” toward sinful activity.
- There is no focus or emphasis on sin, forgiveness, and conversion of heart.
More synodal foolishness:
“We must not evangelize the whole world. God will find away to guide non-believers. Many do not need religion, faith, or any church.” German bishop Overbeck
“The end of Christendon is not a defeat, but a kairos, the chance to return to what is essential, the freedom of beginnings, to that yes spoken out of love, without fears and guarantees.” (This cardinal is actually celebrating loss of Catholic faithfulness and membership!)
“The theology of the Church has changed.” Cardinal Roche (This cardinal sounds like an arrogant Pharisee who thinks he knows better.)
Update: ***You will know them by their fruits (priorities): The Church continues every opportunity to MAKE A BETTER WORLD and to SEEK FAVOR WITH THE WORLD. The Church is DOUBLING DOWN on its efforts to promote immigration (and illegal immigration) and oppose a nation’s right to secure its borders.
Many empowered bishops are enacting Traditiones Custodes, under the guise of “unity”, is foolish because it causes division and marginalizes the laity’s desire to worship in the TLM.
These same empowered bishops evidently are more concerned about promoting their Modernist/Synodality ideology rather than responding to the laity’s concerns.
Amoris Laetitia and Fiducia Supplicans are foolish in that these documents “push the doctrinal envelope under the guise of mercy above all else.” This can lead to scandal, heresy, and sin.
When local bishops continue to permit sacrileges, Pope Leo remains quiet. One questions whether if Pope Leo will lead by example and tell other bishops to show integrity and fidelity to Church teachings.
“Foolish is the questioning of man against the goodness of God.” St. Gregory
“We were ensnared by the wisdom of the serpent, we are set free from the foolishness of God.” St. Augustine
“Whoever perverts the sayings of the Lord for his/her desires is the firstborn of Satan. Let us there, leave the foolishness and false teachings of the crowd.” St. Polycarp
Now there will follow seasonal posts (Advent, Christmas, and New Years)
