Anyone who has actually studied his work, even briefly, must realize that the "messages" don't hold up to scrutiny. <br /><br />We've had to read extensively from the Summa, and while the going is difficult, it's definitely worth it. I just never realized a "side effect" of studying his work would mean that it would be used to reveal very clearly some bit of a woman's hack job pretending to be him and calling it an "apparition".Adorohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853244433854822731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-4829474764204003402009-11-22T02:06:40.525-06:002009-11-22T02:06:40.525-06:00I just wanted to make an observation...maybe it...I just wanted to make an observation...maybe it's obvious or irrelevant, but the language of each of the messages are all the same no matter "who" is appearing.

I just hope that means that priests aren't trying to find a "loophole" in order to disobey their bishop. Nuff said. <br /><br />Second, you said you will remain in Divine Will...well, if you follow messages of this claimed "seer" that is telling you to follow THEM instead of what the Church has always taught about Salvation...then you have left Divine Will of God and you have made yourself God in his place...and those messages. It is idolatry. <br /><br />I will continue praying for you and for all who blindly follow the messages of someone recent as opposed to the wisdom and Divine Revelation of the Church, the Bride of Christ. <br /><br />It is clear who should be followed...and it ain't Maureen. <br />*<br /><br />Keep in mind...for those who say "The Bishop might be wrong": well, if he is, that is no reason to disobey. The Bishops mishandled Padre Pio and he was vindicated....after he humbly submitted in obedience. Maureen has instead separated herself from the Church and disregarded the Bishop. Clearly...she's a liar and a fraud. <br /><br />I pray for her eternal salvation. She won't find it and won't lead anyone to it through the false spirit talking in her ear and encouraging her pride and her empire and her blind minions.Adorohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853244433854822731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-29431927859022873032009-11-19T14:04:25.832-06:002009-11-19T14:04:25.832-06:00Teri ~ What the Bishop stated is that the events t...Teri ~ What the Bishop stated is that the events there are not supernatural. It's not the Saints or Mary or Jesus speaking through Maureen...it is herself. And she is perfectly capable of saying "Praised be Jesus Christ." <br /><br />The fact is that God can use anything to effect conversions. But that is not what is used to judge an apparition. Read the document I posted. <br /><br />It looks at the claimed visionaries and the content of the messages. The fact is that the messages contain clear doctrinal errors, repeated doctrinal errors. The fact is that Maureen herself does not hold up to scrutiny. <br /><br />The fact is that you're making an argument in a vacuum belonging to your love of your own opinion. You're basing everything on your own experience. That is not how God thinks, that is not how He acts. You're trying to make God into YOUR own image based on how YOU think things should be.<br /><br />Yet in comparing HL and especially the most recent events with the actions taken by Saints in the history of the Church, it is patently obvious that Marueen is NOT legitimate, that the site is NOT of the Holy Spirit, and that you are very much in the wrong, objectively, to be arguing against the action of the Bishop. <br /><br />People who are sincere in their faith can be caught up in things and God will act through them personally. But that fact does not legitimize the site, and that is why claimed conversions and Confessions heard there in the past is not a factor in the Church's discernment of the validity or authenticity of a claimed apparition.<br /><br />Note the Bishop's letter well: no priests are allowed to celebrate sacraments on the site, and that includes Confession. Priests need faculties to perform the sacraments (outside of imminent death) and the Bishop has removed faculties. If a priest comes from another diocese, he needs faculties to hear confessions. The Bishop in this document prohibits them. <br /><br />So realize you are treading on VERY thin ice, and arguing with me about what you want to believe about God who is objective and transcends us is not going to help your case. Nor does it give any validity to the fiasco going on at HL.<br /><br />Salvation is WITHIN the Church....HL is far outside of it.<br /><br />You choose. Just stop trying to drag people down with you.Adorohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853244433854822731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-31194858957371863902009-11-19T13:48:09.403-06:002009-11-19T13:48:09.403-06:00You have not addressed the fact that the devil wou...You have not addressed the fact that the devil would never utter the words "PRAISE BE JESUS" Also I do know for a fact that this place is bringing people to the faith. 4 years ago i went to this place with a 71 year old jewish woman that had a complete conversion and was welcomed into the Catholic Church as one of the most devote Catholics I have had the priviledge of meeting. Also on pilgrimages to this place, the lines for confessions go on for hours. I haven't seen many lines for confessions at many churches or thousands upon thousands of people praying the Rosary for the Church priests etc. If we won't do it WHO WILL? The Confraternity asks members to Love God above all else, love your neighbor as yourself and to go daily Mass, spend 1 hour a week in front of the blessed sacrament, go to confession once a month and to do service. this I would not call a tragedy. Also no one knows what prayers God will answer.The first prayer that we say daily"Hold me deeply in Your bosom of Divine Will" Is this a prayer that would not be embraced by a loving Father? I told you I ask for the grace against love of my own opinion---I did not say I have it. When you look around and see the condition of our world,the church and situations We need to come together and work together. I pray one day for harmony. Yes it will come and i beg for God's mercy for every person on Earth. Not for some but for all.I think God is calling the layity for their help.

If you're a mother, and your 3 year old says that if you love him you'll let him drive the big farm tractor, do you let him do it?<br /><br />What you are saying in your comment is that you don't really care what is objective Truth, but that you've made God the Father into an image of yourself that doesn't demand anything of you, such as obedience to an authority other than your own. What you are saying is that you are a relativist. <br /><br />Now, I don't know if you're Catholic or not, and if you are not, certainly I don't expect you to follow Catholic teaching. <br /><br />But whether you share this Faith or not, know that the Catholic Church DOES care for your soul, so does the Bishop, and when something objectively evil is going on and leading souls astray, that's a huge problem. <br /><br />This place ISN'T guiding souls back. It is encouraging disobedience, is separating people of good will from God's own House with a cheap substitution. <br /><br />This is a tragedy.<br /><br />Also, Teri, you contradict yourself:<br /><br /><i>One of my prayers is to guard myself against <b>Intellectual pride, the pride which is self love ,self righteous and loves one own opinion.</b> This for me is a grace i ask for daily. I am happy to discuss any persons faith journey. I love to share faith This property, <b>in my opinion is one that leads people to the sacarements.</b></i><br /><br />It is pretty clear here that you ARE very much attached to YOUR own opinion. <br /><br />But your right to an opinion like that on this property has been trumped by a higher authority, hasn't it? Will you still cling to your opinion or are you willing to give your assent of faith to the actual Authority established by Jesus Christ in His Church (if you are Catholic)?<br /><br />We all struggle with self-love, of course, we all have attachments. But this is a very grave matter demanding our obedience for the good of our souls. This is a real test. Where will we cast our lots? Are we among the sheep or the goats?<br /><br />I'm clinging to the True Church and known authority of Christ. Not some fly-by-night operation trying to tear souls away from it by claiming to direct them to it. <br /><br />Please open your eyes!Adorohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853244433854822731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-54165123737649576142009-11-19T10:27:34.565-06:002009-11-19T10:27:34.565-06:00Dear Freind this is anonymous here.

And it gets very difficult sorting out all sorts of anonymouse stuff. <br /><br /><br />Now...Anonymous without a name:<br /><br />The reason the Bishop spoke out is:<br /><br />1. The Holy See asked him to. <br />2. He is in charge of the care of the souls in his diocese, ALL of them, not just Catholic ones. Because this "visionary" is spouting things that are theologically WRONG and she has been in disobedience for a lONG time to her Bishop (she still claims to be Catholic, correct?) and because she is actively discouraging people from remaining loyal to the Church, it doesn't matter if she clings to this or that particular doctrine. <br /><br />Besides...why would she want people to pray the rosary, for example, at HER shrine when people can go to a Catholic Church and pray the rosary in community or alone, and obtain an indulgence?<br /><br />There are no indulgences or Blessed Sacrament at "Holy Love".<br /><br />Why would Jesus establish a place in opposition to His own Sons?<br /><br />By the way, Jesus won't accept "any prayer stated in love". Know that St. Thomas Aquinas defined sin as "disordered love". <br /><br />The prayer that IS heard is any prayer spoken within the Will of God. Given that His authentic spokesperson through Apostolic Succession has issued a Decree against "Holy Love", then it's very clear that ANYONE who is continuing to support that site, visionary, and messages is clearly NOT within God's Will, and in fact, may very well be in very grave sin. <br /><br />So it appears to me that all this woman is doing, as Satan's minion, is SEEMING to lead people into the Sacraments and proper devotions, but only to lead them into grave sin so that when they receive the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ they will be committing sacrilege and destroying their souls.<br /><br />Maybe YOU should think about THAT!Adorohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853244433854822731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-56180211076139033062009-11-19T09:32:29.394-06:002009-11-19T09:32:29.394-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-77941625556563481012009-11-19T07:38:34.572-06:002009-11-19T07:38:34.572-06:00HLMS ~ No, it's NOT possible that HL is of God...HLMS ~ No, it's NOT possible that HL is of God, especially given that the alleged "revelations" especially of the last several days are encouraging DISOBEDIENCE to the Church. The Bishops are not "merely human" authority, but THEY speak with the voice of Jesus Christ. Jesus gave the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven to St. Peter, and today through Apostolic Succession we recognize the very authority of Christ as passed down through St. Peter to continue to reside in our Bishops. <br /><br />HLMS, what YOU are claiming, in essence, is that the power of the Holy Spirit has left the Church and is now residing at HL and is now attacking the Church for not believing. <br /><br />The theology at HL is illogical, completely departs from authentic theology as upheld by EVERY mystic in history, HL has been in schism since 1996....by those fruits we shall know you.<br /><br />You are claiming, in essence that HL is a new Public Revelation. The Church, and all of Christianity is united in the knowledge, revealed by God, that PUBLIC REVELATION ended with Revelation. It's done.<br /><br />God is faithful to Himself and His covenant and His Bride, the Church. HL has left the Church in favor of a demonic interference which is actively leading people AWAY from the Church and from obedience to her Spouse the Bridegroom, simply by throwing in a few favored known devotions and nonsensically cobbling together a few more that sound good but don't hold up to scrutinty. <br /><br />In the history of the Church, the mystics who were under censure were fully obedient. If HL is receiving messages from Padre Pio, he would have smacked her silly by now. He was the most humble and obedient of them all, if comparisons are even POSSIBLE to be made. <br /><br />HLMS, What's with your proclamation, "God has not abandoned us"???? God doesn't abandon ANY of us. Rather, it is all of YOU at HL who have abandoned GOD and His CHURCH! It is YOU who should reconsider your false empire of lies and falsehoods, fall on your knees and ask God for forgiveness for your disobedience and VERY PUBLIC scandal!<br /><br />Praying ~ Yes, praying is a right...that has nothing to do with any of this. No one is suggesting you stop having a dialogue with God...what is being suggested is that the dialogue with the Evil One stop. However,there is this little thing we call "intent" and "will" and this wonderful virtue called "obedience" that dictates that if we are praying with a bunch of others people in a place with harmful theology led by a disobedient "mystic" claiming locutions and visions that the Bishop recognizes as NOT supernatural (or at best, Demonic, which he left unsaid), well, that's a much different thing, isn't it? <br /><br />You don't have the authority to extend any blessing to me, and your version of "Jesus" and "Mary" aren't anyone I desire to come into any contact with at all. <br /><br />You ask me with whom I cast my lot? Certainly not with YOU. I cast my lot with the fullness of the Faith, to be found in the Church that was born out of the side of Christ, and all of those who authentically speak for Our Lord through the ordinary magisterium. <br /><br />Please refrain from posting more of your propaganda on my blog. I answer you this one time because I posted against your "ministry" and you have a right to respond, and did so. But as I don't want any other souls misled I would suggest you take your blathering nonsense back where you came from, consider your own conversion of heart and return to the Church in humble obedience.<br /><br />Please stop spamming my posts, it doesn't make you any more intelligent nor does it help your case.Adorohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853244433854822731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-82817859601568327392009-11-18T22:32:08.644-06:002009-11-18T22:32:08.644-06:0011/17/2009
Hey guys.....I appreciate reading your ...11/17/2009<br />Hey guys.....I appreciate reading your input. However, I would like your consideration of this slight possibility: <br /><br />Would if the Cleveland Bishop's discernment and your opinions are wrong? <br /> <br />The reason why I am very concerned is because, there appears to be a lot of similarity of thoughts and actions in comparison to when JESUS was being put to death. <br /><br />The Sanhedrin and Soldiers and majority of the Jewish People were fully convinced that JESUS was a heretic not following the Laws of the Covenant. <br /><br />Also, they were without doubt, convinced that they were right in judging their victim especially, as they crucified JESUS. <br /><br />Moreover, they were assured that they were in good standing before GOD. <br /><br />If Holy Love Ministries and more importantly, the Messages are truly coming from Divine Providence, than what side do you think you will be supporting; especially, if you have condemned verbally and through actions convinced other people to go against Heavens intervention at this special site -- Maranatha Spring and Shrine on Earth. <br /><br />If we do not support TRUTH when it is set before our eyes, we then will be charged with guilt as fallen Christians and will be of no help in Heaven's DIVINE PLAN now or in the future.<br /><br />JESUS tell us that when we die we will no longer have Free Will and we will only take with us our memory of what we did on Earth and how we abided under the Laws of Holy Love -- Loving first, with all thy heart, mind, and soul GOD above all false gods and secondly, loving thy Neighbor as thyself - (Ten Commandments).<br /><br />TRUTHS continue to be revealed through the Prophets, as written in the Nicene/Apostles Creed to Generations, to bring as many souls back to their Faith and to the CHURCH to receive the Holy Sacraments in preparation for Eternal Life. <br /><br />GOD has not abandoned us! I hope you will reconsider your opinion of Maranatha Spring and Shrine and home of Holy Love Ministries and come with faith and joy to this Holy Property to pray.<br /> <br />Praying is a Divine Right of our Freedom granted to all GOD'S People and thankfully, a person can pray in any place that they choose. <br /><br />I extend to you the complete Blessing of the United Hearts of JESUS and MARY! <br /><br />Sincerely, HLMSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-10748469670848891952009-11-18T12:24:55.169-06:002009-11-18T12:24:55.169-06:00Elizabeth ~ Thanks, WOW I agree...demonic fury.

Major major issues, but have to say my issues there are considerably less than those I have with M. <br /><br />So while I'll outright go with condemnation of HL here (especially because decision has been made and it's formal), but with M I'm just stepping back and waiting.<br /><br />If I were to go on a pilgrimage, I'd be most likely to go to the Holy Land or Rome, anyway, not the site of any apparition or private revelation, but to hard-core Catholic places involving solid doctrine, dogma, history, etc. The Foundation, not the side shows.Adorohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853244433854822731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-19637484685149853992009-11-16T20:45:49.270-06:002009-11-16T20:45:49.270-06:00Yup, I actually read backwards.

She gets even snarkier. Clearly NOT Jesus, but maybe a woman having PMS and getting her comeuppance at the same time.<br /><br />Hidden One ~ I'd forgotten that a few years ago they had to remove the word "Catholic" from their title or association, so this Decree is actually for the Faithful, both priests and clergy.
