Good afternoon, Eric.

I would like to be able to download your mp3 broadcasts onto my computer to transfer to my phone.  May I have your permission to do this?  If so, how do I do this?  I often do not have wifi connection. There is not an option to download on your page.  I am not very computer savvy.  Please assist me.  For the time being, I will listen while having a connection. 

Thank you,

From William N.

Dear Family and Friends,

Over the last four years I have come to greatly admire a few veteran Vatican journalists, because they have risked their careers by reporting many unpleasant developments within the Vatican. One, Pat Archbold, did lose his job, but was able to regain employment elsewhere. The rest seem to still be hanging on despite the ample opportunities to report on the negative elements of Vatican activities and papal initiatives.

One of those brave reporters I lean on for information is Sandro Magister. I would like to encourage the reading of a recent Magister article concerning Francis and Cardinal Sarah. I feel the article is insightful, certainly worth the time it takes to get to the ending paragraphs, in which Magister writes:

Because the “process” that Francis wants to set in motion is precisely that of changing, through a devolution of liturgical adaptations and translations to the national Churches, the overall structure of the Catholic Church, turning it into a federation of national Churches endowed with extensive autonomy, “including genuine doctrinal authority.” 

This is the article link:

TCK: Where Vatican II is not taught.  Find a valid priest not deceived....  

---------------------------

I was listening to what I believe was your Friday radio show about underground church. Upon  investigation of your comment on the purple scapular, low and behold I had one on the handle of my front door I bought several years ago.......WOW.  Now, do I simply start wearing it and take off the brown one?  Or do I find a particular priest to commission me as I did with the brown one? Do I wear both? (That sounds a bit superstitious). Please, when you get a spare minute to answer.  I've never been so excited to get things right in my life!  Truly, you are a very much loved Apostle of Our Blessed Mother.    

Thank you so much. Kathy L

=======================

Hi Eric,

I love your site...I've learned a lot. I hope you are getting my letters. I have been sick a lot w/ colds the past 2 months with my kids back in school.

It can be very overwhelming for me a former Novus Ordo Catholic to learn to be a traditional Catholic at times. I keep reading and praying daily. I would keep everything on your site the same but please consider adding 2 things.
1. Frequently Asked Questions tab somewhere on the right of your blog. (I have learned a lot from reading other people's questions the past 2 years.)

2. A prioritized spiritual Checklist. For example,
    Go to confession
    Pray the Rosary daily
    Consecrate yourself (and Kids) to Mary and Jesus (include consecration prayer)
    Read such and such book
    etc. etc Today I was listening to your show...only heard 40 min. before I had to leave house (plan to my husband help me get it via mp3)

Anyway, in the beginning there was a question about Kelly Bowring and I agreed with your answer. I literally almost bumped into him 2 years ago at a Novus Ordo mass in Atlanta and I asked to speak with him afterwards. I think he is a good person but I disagree with Dr. Bowring on several major points including the traditional mass, Medjugorie (Malachi Martin says Medjugorie is a satanic hoax and others have spoken out on it as well) and he has the 2 witnesses wrong too......even I know Moses is not one of them and I'm not a theologian. He lost a lot of credibility with me on these topics so I don't trust/follow his info. What I do like that he did is he is initially responsible for helping to wake me up to how bad pope Francis is (he has a thorough list on his site which is great for beginners) and  at the end of his coming chastisements book he gave a spiritual checklist and it is good. It helped get the ball rolling for me spiritually.
On a different note, I agree with everything you say 100% except for Kathleen Keating. In the next few weeks I'm going to mail you Kathleen Keating's book "the Warning". I decided to read the book because I thought if she saw the antichrist I want to know what she has to say. I read the book...easy read....not impressed....I think she is a presstitute fraud and the reason she is hiding is because she would be eaten alive and mocked ruthlessly about statements she made in her book by critics....too numerous to name here but she says a lot of crazy things in that book that are not Catholic. I think you will agree with me after reading it. In my most recent letter I mentioned how she believes in the rapture. I will be eager to hear your opinion after I send you the book. Some of the gov't info she mentions is reasonable to me but not thorough writing at all...the book is like a tabloid to me...some truths...many lies...she should know better.

FYI....one other thought...I know the flat earth theory is a lie.....a few weeks ago you did a flat earth post....approx. a 15 min video....at the end of it the person says they believe in the flat earth

Thanks for reading this email and please don't post it...or do so anonymously. I hope I have not offended you but I had to tell you my thoughts on Kathleen. Have a good weekend!

Encounter on the Shore of the great Torrent. Marie Julie Jahenny... Prophecies of la Fraudais page 196

He will come, the one longed after by the people of France. He will land upon that country

with  human armies, surrounded by Angelic Hosts. In the ranks of his armies, great Christians

will be found. great men whose honor will be preserved for the whole duration of this world.

 Saint Louis, walking close to the See where he reigned, let three painful  groaning escape,

 When they will have completely entered that country land, they will have come to a stand still in front of that seat of treason.

 My cursing is preserved for the one who, in a soon coming time, will take on that chair and 

take in hand the interests of this homeland.

 I let  them take action; they will ascend that seat for very short hours and with a guilty and

unfortunate honor.

 They will undergo the shame of defeat on the very road leading salvation back to the homeland.  I will throw them down to the ground by blinding them with the fire from Heaven.

Dear Mr Gejewski,

was away from the church for a long time, but my cousin was the book agent for Fr. Malachi Martin and got me to read Windswept House. After reading said book I started to realize the church is being set-up.

     I'm writing because I'm concerned for your health. I have met many people in my life and was told if I didn't shut up something would happen to me.  Out of know where I ended up in the Emergency Room with kidney failure. Very quickly they started saying I had all these mental issues, not of which stuck - they still almost got me committed. I can tell you people are being taken and chipped. When I was in Germany I found out this is how the Nazis got rid of the "undesireables".

     If you would like to call men I can tell you some of the items that my have caused me to get in there. Med charts are being falsified, and people are being made sick to get them in the hospital.  

GOD Bless, Kim

Eric- Would an EMP attack be considered part of the chastisements? 
Just wondering if our Purple Scapulars recommended from Marie Julie-Jahenny would help us in this type of situation..I have 3 of them. Thanks!

Eric, 

Just a quick note that I love that you opened up comments on the site.

 

I'm horrified.  You need to get this out to your readers.  Project is called a Fun-Vac for Fundamentalist Vaccination.  They are or were planning on doing this via aerosol dispersion. (Think chem-trails.) It surpesses the genes that express in the brain that fire when religious thought is provoked.

It's about a 6 minute video of a leaked presentation.

Against evolution:

It says:

Capra and others have evidence that Neandertal versions of genes make humans more prone to some diseases (SN: 3/5/16, p. 18). Of the thousands of ancestral variants reintroduced into modern humans, only 41 have been linked in genetic studies to diseases, such as skin conditions and neurological and psychiatric disorders, he said.

Hi, I hope you are doing well. Thank you for all the insight you put out there for us all. Wondering if you have been hearing about the medical fields requiring us to get the flu shot. I work for Essentia Health. I am not getting the flu shot. I haven't in years! If I don't get the flu shot they threaten to fire all employees that don't have it by November 20. They have to have 90% employees get it so they will get Medicare/Medicaid reimbursement. I remember you saying if you work in the medical field you should get out. I think this is my time. I trust God will take care of me. I put it for a religious exemption so I'll see if they deny it. I'm sure next will be the chip and if I don't get it I'll be threatened to be fired. 

Take care and God bless you,

Laudetur Iesus Christus!

Dear Eric,

I recently bought one purple scapular, yesterday got it consacrated by my local FSSPX priest and started wearing it.

I did immediately start feeling the purple scapular's power. It makes want to pray for hours in order to make reparations for my

uncountable sins and for the sins committed by others. The scapular really helps me strengthen my faith.

So I cannot thank you enough that you exhorted me to get it. So small a thing, yet immensely powerful in a heavenly sense.

============================

Hello Eric,

First, allow me to thank you for your work, it has greatly helped me in my growth in traditional Catholicism. I made my first financial contribution via PayPal last month, and I hope to make more in the future, as my tight finances may allow.

Now to the point of this email. I do not know where to begin, so please forgive me if this comes across as scattered – I have been wanting to share much of this for a while with you, but really haven't known how to assemble it or if it was even of interest to you. I will try to be as succinct as possible.

Much like what seems to be  your belief, I believe there will be a massive fake (demonic) alien deception at the heart of the coming societal upheaval. Before my conversion to tradition, I was very much into science and sci-fi, and I developed a decent knowledge of those spheres. When I began to come back to tradition, I drew back from “scientism”, and left much of that thinking behind. However, as I began to follow your work, I noticed the thread of alien deception. Reading more and more of your and others’ commentaries on the demonic alien aspect to the coming world events, I began to revive my experience and knowledge of aliens in mainstream science and (more importantly, I believe) science fiction. Looking more and more at scientific and sci fi trends (things like Star Trek, UFO sighting reports and theories, etc for example), and pairing these with my theological understandings (I do hold a degree in Catholic theology) I began to see what I think to be an underlying current of extraterrestrial “setup” through history, going back from the earliest history to our own times. In short, there seems to be, from an open-eyed, traditional Catholic view, a well planned deception about human origins and the gods. From this traditional Catholic view, we can say that this has as its authors and origins, the demonic, and its ends as a grand, final, attempt to lead a vast swath of humanity away from God and His Catholic Church.

Put even more directly, given what I have studied, I believe there has been a demonic “plan” since perhaps the very beginning of humanity (or atleast to any point in our ancient history) to lead mankind away from God in the End Times, by getting us to believe aliens were really all a long what we have called “God”. And moreover, once the demon-aliens “arrive”,  they will help mankind transfer its notion of God to the aliens. In other words, the demons have been “grooming” mankind for millennia, for this coming alien deception, as their last great attempt to take man away from the true God. 

Amongst secular science realms there is what's known as the “ancient alien/astronaut theory”.  This theory, in short, states that in the ancient past, “aliens” (of course, demons) visited earth, and influenced human development. Some theorists say that these aliens were actually the creators of mankind. Either way, they all agree that the various ancient cultures and religions were influenced by these “aliens”, and that humans misunderstood their alien visitors as gods. Thus giving rise to the myriad of religions and cultures of the world. In support of their Ancient Alien Theory, the theorists point to many things such as uncanny connections between otherwise disparate religions. They say that, in general, you can trace a general connection between all religions which boils down to people being given laws and customs from otherworldly sources.

Now, I'm greatly pairing down this notion and its implications for the sake of brevity. But if one follows the thinking and propositions of Ancient Astronaut/Alien theorists, and simply exchange the word “demon” for every time they say “alien” you begin to see what could be a pattern of demonic “grooming” of humanity to eventually abandon the Christian belief system for a belief in aliens (demons) as “god”.

Given that demons are angelic, and have a phenomenally advanced intellect and understanding of the world, I speculate that they have been developing a “long play” set up for humanity to make this transition. They have, in my theory, been implanting evidences throughout history of “gods” which would, thanks to the rise of secular science which they (demons) inspired, eventually be reinterpreted as being early mans interaction with aliens. The end goal of this long play being to, in the future, have a fake alien (in reality, demonic) “arrival” of "aliens” who will “connect the dots”, as it were, showing how all the ancient religions (even Judaism and Christianity) were really the aliens having interacted with mankind in the past. Moreover, the demonic aliens will show how they have been leading and developing humanity’s evolution, until we were ready to meet our alien “creators”. They will then purpose to help lead us to to a new and grand future. All of this seems to.play into well what you think will happen with Maytraya and the ascended masters etc.

Now, I also believe highly in the notion of predictive programming, or cultural shepherding to new ideas. This Ancient Alien Theory is actually the subject of a highly successful tv series called Ancient Aliens on History Channel. While this series is highly secular, if one watches it with a traditional Catholic mindset of what aliens really are (demons), you can immediately see a very incredible connection or blueprint of demons masquerading as gods throughout history, leading man to where he is now, so that we can eventually be ready intellectually to re-welcome them as our new “guides”. I believe they, the demons, have led mankind through intellectual, philosophical, and technological growth, by inspiring certain individuals to great knowledge of the natural world. By doing so, they led mankind through things like the Enlightenment, the Industrial Revolution, computers, space race, medical developments, etc all of which helped secularize man, and got us to see God as a myth and science as real. With this mindset, man would more readily believe the ancient god-myths as actually being interactions with aliens.

This above mentioned Ancient Aliens show has utterly confirmed my ideas. I believe it to be a bit of.predictive programing, preparing man to “reunite with our alien ancestors” as the show itself says.

I could go on and on about the details, but I have taken enough of your time. Hopefully what I have said makes sense. In all likelihood, you have already heard this before, as I know I am nothing, and bring no special news or ideas. But I have felt compelled to share this, for whatever it may be worth. I believe demon aliens will be a.major part of the future chastisements, and that they will attempt to steal mankind away from God, by showing they were really the subject of the ancient religions.

As someone who has studied theology on the academic level, I abhor the use of single sources for developing ideas, but in this case I think it's justified. The Ancient Aliens show has really tipped the hand of this agenda to those with “eyes to see”.

I'll leave you with a few videos, which may give a basic idea of what I'm saying. Though virtually all of its episodes are of value.

Here we can see how alien demons have purposely influenced pop culture and sci fi, preparing mankind for the coming alien arrival. A notion the demon aliens apparently admit to. Things like Star Trek may have been inspired to led man to expect a certain alien reality, namely a “federation” could be what “arrives” which claims to have been watching and guiding us, and is now here to save us from a crisis. The story a Valiant Thor, is very intriguing, I suspect he was a demon.

Ancient Aliens: The Mysterious Nine - http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4jvrh7

Here is an expose on how various geniuses may have been influenced by aliens to prepare mankind with technology, for the coming alien arrival. You'll note how all these people had connections to pagan rituals and religions, thus creating connections to demonic influence.

Ancient Aliens: The Visionaries

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5jfzc4

This episode gets into CERN and it's linking us to aliens. It covers a lot of what you have said about CERN

Ancient Aliens: The God Particle –

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3l9hhg

These are just three episodes of dozens which coherently describe what I believe to be a grand plan to deceive mankind, which has been in the works for millennia. There are numerous examples in this series (and some others) which can readily be interpreted as being demons masquerading as divine or supernatural beings, guiding mankind. This notion is rather explicit throughout the series, that there is a grand plan to guide mankind to a point of enlightenment, so we can finally reunite with our “alien creators”.

Anyway, I'll leave you with that. I can point you towards more videos if you'd like. But I suspect this is all nothing new to you. So I hope I haven't taken your time needlessly.

Again, thank you for your work. You are a great help to many people, including me. I've even begun ordering from Thrive Life, thanks to you haha.

God bless

===========================

Sorry to drag you down with so many questions I haven’t anybody to talk to about this every one I approach thinks I’m lulu. During the time of the anti christ how do we survive I have been drying seeds and sealing them in air tight containers as well as stocking canned goods and dry goods and water but I don’t live off grid hoping that God puts us somewhere safe off grid praying for that, but my husband is very stubborn and headstrong it like trying to move a train. I pray to St. Anne and St. Martha to put the idea in his head to move off grid but no luck yet. Anyways if we are off grid and grow our own food and farm chickens or something like that so we have no paper trail won’t the antichrist or his minions be aware of us. How do we all survive in those times. I just recently had to give up my position with our prison ministry they wanted to fingerprint all volunteers and dig into more personal details of finances etc.. I thought it was absurd considering I’m a volunteer not an employee and there for the rosary once a week too weird for me. I figured God is closing this door so I must move where he needs or wants me after all we belong to him he brought into this world to do his will and I’m sure has a mission for each of us.
Thank you once again for answering my questions on your blog last night.

Eric,

I am listening to your talk on Pius X. Interestingly enough my morning reading was Fr. Arminjon's book, The End, pg 57, was on this subject. It was Suarez who took from Daniel the world would last only 45 days after the death of the AntiChrist.

Hope all is well

Chris Gagnier

===============================

Hello! My name is Michelle. im 25 and live on Long Island, NY.

I'm hoping you could help me out because I am at a loss of what to do in my current spiritual situation.

A little background info - I was raised in the novus ordo, but not strictly. My family was never very catholic to begin with divorced parents etc etc so it was never a good example for me in terms of a good catholic upbringing.

I was baptized as a baby, made my first holy communion and confirmation all in the novus ordo.. I remember going to the religious instruction classes and I dont remember learning a single thing. Needless to say as i grew up, I am ashamed to say that i strayed from the christian faith and life almost as much as you could get. In middle and high school i became interested in buddhism (thanks to a teachers influence) and read books on "wicca" and. i got into a pattern of flip flopping between reading about Catholicism, and then 6 months or so later rejecting religions and reading on neo-paganism.

So as ive gotten older I've begun to feel a great thirst for God and the one true Catholic faith. In 2014 or so I began reading the Bible, which I had never read at all, and attending novus ordo masses and going to confession, subscribing to lots of the media outlets like EWTN and Catholic Answers and such, thinking I was on the right track.

But I always felt something was missing, it didnt feel right. the more I attended Novus Ordo masses, seeing the people who attended the masses how they dressed and spoke, the protestant music played in the teen masses, the flyers for LGBT teen nights in the church lobby. i listened to what these priests were saying in the homilies- "love one another, accept your gay family, and fellow parishioners!, the only thing that matters is God's love" etc etc. over months I began to see the recurring themes of this one world religion which you speak of.

Admittedly, one of the things I confessed in Penance one Saturday evening was that I had a gay friend and i wasnt being outspoken about the evils of homosexuality and I wasnt having a conversation with him to try to help him come to God... and I will never forget his words to me- this priest told me "Gays have been here since before Christ walked the earth. They've always been here and they always will be. We cannot change it so we must accept them for who they are."

That moment, my jaw almost hit the floor. I was stunned, absolutely speechless, and I got up and walked out of there. that was when i knew my gut was right and there was really something wrong here.

So long story short  over 2015-2016 i began searching online for traditional catholic things and found your youtube channel and others, i stopped attending the novus ordo but i didnt really do anything after that until last year.

In the summer of last year I began watching and reading the things being posted by  "the most holy family monastery" and i learned about the evils contained in vatican ii and during that time i discovered a local chapel called the Saint Pius V Chapel (in Oyster Bay, NY)  run by the Society of St. Pius V. in the autumn/winter i threw all my pants away exclusively dressing in skirts like a good catholic girl should, even before going to the SSPV.

I met with one of the priests there and we spoke briefly I believe in november or early december last year. and New Years Day i attended mass there for the first time (not receiving holy Communion of course) . I also began the catechism class which I had to do to be conditionally baptized.

I sent those dimond bros an email asking their opinion on the SSPV and they basically told me i committed mortal sin because i had the knowledge that the sspv accepts baptism of desire as valid, yet i attended their mass anyway and so i gravely sinned.

i disregarded them and continued going to a few more masses, but in February I stopped going, experiencing a feeling of such confusion over all of this, some people say this some people say that, i felt very overwhelmed and distressed, so i just stopped going, and i didnt tell anyone there.

the rest of this year ive just had my bible and rosary and little booklets and icons put away, not living in any sort of religious way, not doing anything but working really.

I always used to struggle with faith, thinking that logically all the teachings of the church make sense but i dont think I fully believed. In learning all about the church and history and the schisms and heresies, i got overwhelmed and  lost my way completely.

But ive come to the realization in the last few weeks that Catholicism is truth, its THE truth, . you accept it and do what is necessary for your salvation, or you dont. Its very simple. and its taken me a while to realize this.

so all of this was to simply ask you

Where do I go from here?

Do I go back to the SSPV and take the Catechism class for conditional baptism and attend their chapel regularly? are they good/not good?

do I do what the feenyite dimond bros say and just stay home and pray the entire rosary every day?

I know in my heart and soul I need to live a good catholic life. Faith is not the issue, but how exactly i do that is where I am confused and doubtful.

I hope you can help!!!

thank you!!

Dear Apostle;   About 2 months ago I stumbled across a YouTube show of Tradcatknnight.  I certainly believe things do not happen by chance. I listened to several more of your shows, I find them very interesting and a lot of the topics are things I have been thinking about myself lately.                                                           

First off, I should tell you I consider myself somewhat of a pre-Vatican 11 Catholic. I wear my scapular and pray the rosary every day along with prayers for priests and purgatory souls.      

I've heard you say that in the past you were no saint. I indeed was no saint!  This brings me to one other thing that troubles me. If the Holy Mass now is not valid then receiving Communion is not valid communion, is that right?  I am an extraordinary minister and bring communion to the sick each week. If I shouldn't be touching the communion than what should I do for these poor elderly folks that probably wouldn't be seen by anyone. Our priest, Father John has 2 churches in his care. We keep loosing priests and they are not replacing the ones that are retiring. I felt like I was doing a great service for Jesus but now again I feel sickened. Can you help me with this?                                          

You are very good with stating your references please help me find where I can get answers to these questions.  I believe that I was led to your channel however  I'm not so sure sometimes what spirit led me. I am very outspoken but have been attacked many times for my zeal and strong Catholic beliefs. I want to mention I am a Third Order Franciscian. 

          

Thank- you for your time! 

Kathy L

Hi Eric,  I have been raised Catholic but stopped going recently as things Francis has said was bothering me.  Since Vatican 2, our church and all Windsor Ontario churches have completely changed.  I miss how beautiful our church used to be.  My question was should I go back and just dress as I  should [veil] etc.  As Traditional Churches don't exist here anymore.  Thank you Emily Brecka

 Quo Vadis Catholic Leaders?

Pope Pius XI's "Mortalium Animos" professes the authentic meaning of Unity for Catholics and shows how some in the Church would actually compromise the faith in the name of "Unity".  Such compromise constitutes the Modernism, Indifferentism, and even Blasphemy of False Religious Unity.

                                                                                                                       MORTALIUM ANIMOS

EXCERPTS:

"2... For since they hold it for certain that men destitute of all religious sense are very rarely to be found, they seem to have founded on that belief a hope that the nations, although they differ among themselves in certain religious matters, will without much difficulty come to agree as brethren in professing certain doctrines, which form as it were a common basis of the spiritual life. For which reason conventions, meetings and addresses are frequently arranged by these persons, at which a large number of listeners are present, and at which all without distinction are invited to join in the discussion, both infidels of every kind, and Christians, even those who have unhappily fallen away from Christ or who with obstinacy and pertinacity deny His divine nature and mission. Certainly such attempts can nowise be approved by Catholics, founded as they are on that false opinion which considers all religions to be more or less good and praiseworthy, since they all in different ways manifest and signify that sense which is inborn in us all, and by which we are led to God and to the obedient acknowledgment of His rule. Not only are those who hold this opinion in error and deceived, but also in distorting the idea of true religion they reject it, and little by little. turn aside to naturalism and atheism, as it is called; from which it clearly follows that one who supports those who hold these theories and attempt to realize them, is altogether abandoning the divinely revealed religion.

6. From which it follows that there can be no true religion other than that which is founded on the revealed word of God: which revelation, begun from the beginning and continued under the Old Law, Christ Jesus Himself under the New Law perfected. ..A good number of them, for example, deny that the Church of Christ must be visible and apparent, at least to such a degree that it appears as one body of faithful, agreeing in one and the same doctrine under one teaching authority and government; but, on the contrary, they understand a visible Church as nothing else than a Federation, composed of various communities of Christians, even though they adhere to different doctrines, which may even be incompatible one with another. Instead, Christ our Lord instituted His Church as a perfect society, external of its nature and perceptible to the senses, which should carry on in the future the work of the salvation of the human race, under the leadership of one head,[4] with an authority teaching by word of mouth,[5] and by the ministry of the sacraments, the founts of heavenly grace;[6] for which reason He attested by comparison the similarity of the Church to a kingdom,[7] to a house,[8] to a sheepfold,[9] and to a flock.[10]

7...Controversies therefore, they say, and longstanding differences of opinion which keep asunder till the present day the members of the Christian family, must be entirely put aside, and from the remaining doctrines a common form of faith drawn up and proposed for belief, and in the profession of which all may not only know but feel that they are brothers...There are some, indeed, who recognize and affirm that Protestantism, as they call it, has rejected, with a great lack of consideration, certain articles of faith and some external ceremonies, which are, in fact, pleasing and useful, and which the Roman Church still retains. They soon, however, go on to say that that Church also has erred, and corrupted the original religion by adding and proposing for belief certain doctrines which are not only alien to the Gospel, but even repugnant to it...Among the chief of these they number that which concerns the primacy of jurisdiction, which was granted to Peter and to his successors in the See of Rome. Among them there indeed are some, though few, who grant to the Roman Pontiff a primacy of honor or even a certain jurisdiction or power, but this, however, they consider not to arise from the divine law but from the consent of the faithful. Others again, even go so far as to wish the Pontiff Himself to preside over their motley, so to say, assemblies. But, all the same, although many non-Catholics may be found who loudly preach fraternal communion in Christ Jesus, yet you will find none at all to whom it ever occurs to submit to and obey the Vicar of Jesus Christ either in His capacity as a teacher or as a governor. Meanwhile they affirm that they would willingly treat with the Church of Rome, but on equal terms, that is as equals with an equal: but even if they could so act. it does not seem open to doubt that any pact into which they might enter would not compel them to turn from those opinions which are still the reason why they err and stray from the one fold of Christ.

8.This being so, it is clear that the Apostolic See cannot on any terms take part in their assemblies, nor is it anyway lawful for Catholics either to support or to work for such enterprises; for if they do so they will be giving countenance to a false Christianity, quite alien to the one Church of Christ. Shall We suffer, what would indeed be iniquitous, the truth, and a truth divinely revealed, to be made a subject for compromise? For here there is question of defending revealed truth. Jesus Christ sent His Apostles into the whole world in order that they might permeate all nations with the Gospel faith, and, lest they should err, He willed beforehand that they should be taught by the Holy Ghost:[15] has then this doctrine of the Apostles completely vanished away, or sometimes been obscured, in the Church, whose ruler and defense is God Himself? If our Redeemer plainly said that His Gospel was to continue not only during the times of the Apostles, but also till future ages, is it possible that the object of faith should in the process of time become so obscure and uncertain, that it would be necessary to-day to tolerate opinions which are even incompatible one with another? If this were true, we should have to confess that the coming of the Holy Ghost on the Apostles, and the perpetual indwelling of the same Spirit in the Church, and the very preaching of Jesus Christ, have several centuries ago, lost all their efficacy and use, to affirm which would be blasphemy.

9. These pan-Christians who turn their minds to uniting the churches seem, indeed, to pursue the noblest of ideas in promoting charity among all Christians: nevertheless how does it happen that this charity tends to injure faith? Everyone knows that John himself, the Apostle of love, who seems to reveal in his Gospel the secrets of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and who never ceased to impress on the memories of his followers the new commandment "Love one another," altogether forbade any intercourse with those who professed a mutilated and corrupt version of Christ's teaching: "If any man come to you and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into the house nor say to him: God speed you."[18] For which reason, since charity is based on a complete and sincere faith, the disciples of Christ must be united principally by the bond of one faith. Who then can conceive a Christian Federation, the members of which retain each his own opinions and private judgment, even in matters which concern the object of faith, even though they be repugnant to the opinions of the rest? And in what manner, We ask, can men who follow contrary opinions, belong to one and the same Federation of the faithful?...And in what manner, We ask, can men who follow contrary opinions, belong to one and the same Federation of the faithful? For example, those who affirm, and those who deny that sacred Tradition is a true fount of divine Revelation; those who hold that an ecclesiastical hierarchy, made up of bishops, priests and ministers, has been divinely constituted, and those who assert that it has been brought in little by little in accordance with the conditions of the time; those who adore Christ really present in the Most Holy Eucharist through that marvelous conversion of the bread and wine, which is called transubstantiation, and those who affirm that Christ is present only by faith or by the signification and virtue of the Sacrament; those who in the Eucharist recognize the nature both of a sacrament and of a sacrifice, and those who say that it is nothing more than the memorial or commemoration of the Lord's Supper; those who believe it to be good and useful to invoke by prayer the Saints reigning with Christ, especially Mary the Mother of God, and to venerate their images, and those who urge that such a veneration is not to be made use of, for it is contrary to the honor due to Jesus Christ, "the one mediator of God and men."[19] How so great a variety of opinions can make the way clear to effect the unity of the Church We know not; that unity can only arise from one teaching authority, one law of belief and one faith of Christians. But We do know that from this it is an easy step to the neglect of religion or indifferentism and to modernism, as they call it.

10. So, Venerable Brethren, it is clear why this Apostolic See has never allowed its subjects to take part in the assemblies of non-Catholics: for the union of Christians can only be promoted by promoting the return to the one true Church of Christ of those who are separated from it, for in the past they have unhappily left it.

12. Let, therefore, the separated children draw nigh to the Apostolic See, set up in the City which Peter and Paul, the Princes of the Apostles, consecrated by their blood; to that See, We repeat, which is "the root and womb whence the Church of God springs,"[27] not with the intention and the hope that "the Church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth"[28] will cast aside the integrity of the faith and tolerate their errors, but, on the contrary, that they themselves submit to its teaching and government.

Hello Eric, 

Because of the hurricane named Ophelia who is passing near the french britain, in many towns of bretagne the sky was yellow today because of the presence of the sand in the air.

There is another interesting and different thing, at the same place there's an odour of burned things in the air, it's in fact caused by large fires in the Portugal. 

The visibility is also low for all the day, and this phenomenon seems to touch only the west of France, only the french britain. 

And if i tell you all that, it's of course because you are a good reader of Marie Julie Jahenny, and because we are few days after the 13th of October, and that there's also a link with portugal.

Look at that link if you want to see some natural sepia photos of bretagne (there's also the explanation of the odour inside in french):
