Thanks. Yes just wanted to confirm.
I worried you all might interpret my question as opposition. That was not the intent, just a genuine question.
i have read it, and i do understand much because i keep my eyes open.
read it and you'll understand
I guess... I don't know if not believing is the correct way to put it. More like, not obliged to have a devotion to it. But the devotion to the Immaculate Heart (the 2nd secret ) is how we can stop this run away train. This apparition pretty much tops the list of apparitions. I cannot imagine or understand any Catholic not believing it. I wish y'all would just read the link. Its long but it covers everything discussed in this thread...even the fighting between Mike and LWU. It talks about scoffing at prophecy and the differnce studying prophecy and predicting the future, trying to unveil future event. It tells exactly how we are to take private revelation, public revelation, and the purpose of prophacy. everyone should read this.
So Russia is leaning towards communism again? Communism, as Mary basically put it, is a direct attack against the Church. If it's leaning towards this, that ain't good.
I don't know. It sems to say the holy father, clergy, relgious, and layity, that their suffering is a result of atheist communism's attack on the Church and Christians of the 20th century. But it just may continue into this century. Where I get confused is, Russia was to convert and their was to be a time of peace. Was the 90's really it? Was that the new springtime? I was there. I didn't see it. I saw the wall come down, I saw Our Lady of Fatima being carried in procession in Russia but then soon after, the county went EO. And in America Clinton legalized the killing of the preborn. So I'm confused.
I haven't seen any evidence that Russia is going back to socialism. There's been western propaganda war against Russia ever since Russia's law that made it illegal to promote homosexuality in their country. But it's obvious that the United States is at least unofficially socialist since we even have a presidential primaries candidate who is openly and proudly a socialist.
It has to do with Obama's oppressive HHS mandate and how it forces everyone to pay for contraceptives, abortions, and other things that are morally repugnant. Hobby Lobby, EWTN, and Little Sisters of the Poor are among those who have been trying to fight it in court. When the HHS mandate first came out, 100% of U.S. bishops wrote a letter in protest of it. And in 2012, the bishops organized the first "Fortnight for Freedom" to protest the mandate. This was unprecedented in U.S. history. Since that time, the Fortnight for Freedom has become an annual event because Obama continues to ignore the complaints of Catholics. I'm surprised that you haven't heard about it.
I don't think they are. I admit though, I don't really know what it even is. I thought Dorothy Day was Dorris Day, the 1950's actress. Lol.
Because they seem to pertain to the sign of the times. A urgent call to faith, repentance. Lourdes is also pretty widely accepted. I mean Mary came as the immaculate conception. Lourdes is my favorite.
