Catholic Church

By Doug Mainwaring, LifeSiteNews - Westen said, “The late Cardinal Caffarra revealed at our Rome Life Forum last year that this attack is the fulfillment of Our Lady of Fatima’s prophecy of the ‘final battle between Our Lord and the Reign of Satan.’”… “Humanae Vitae warned of many of the consequences of the acceptance of contraception in ways which make it look like a prophetic document today,”… noting that the encyclical warned of four resulting trends: A general lowering of moral standards throughout society; A rise in infidelity; A lessening of respect for women by men; And the coercive use of reproductive technologies by governments.

By David Nussman, ChurchMilitant - Cardinal Raymond Burke says Church leaders have failed to defend Catholic moral teachings. He's also calling on the faithful to fight against moral evil, and be prepared to suffer… Above all, be brave. Do not let the idea overwhelm you that we can do nothing. Prepare to fight, also to suffer. This suffering can be both physical and social, eg ridicule, mockery, isolation, indifference. But there may also be persecution and imprisonment. But we must fight for what is our life, which is our eternal life. We cannot allow the Church to go in a false direction.

By Ryan Scheel, Founder and Editor, uCatholic - In the small parish of Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church in Hobbs, New Mexico, the faithful believe that a statue of Our Lady is miraculously “crying”… The pastor of the parish, Father Jose Segura, says parishioners noticed that the statue appeared to be crying after a Sunday mass… As a priest, I’ve been a bit incredulous about these types of phenomena. I don’t intend to be sensational, but God silenced me... “I asked if someone had poured water on her but that wasn’t the case. After Mass, we wiped her tears off and more came out. The statue doesn’t have any openings… We couldn’t understand. It also was emitting a strong scent of roses.”
