Auggie Giuseppe Auggie Giuseppe 0 seconds ago THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH YOUR HOLINESS!!! It's about time you spoke to us, esp NOW~! Pray for us EVER Rebecca DelValle Rebecca DelValle 6 hours ago Better late than never. I hope he will continue to address these serious issues that are plaguing our Church. Praying ardently for our faith. 30 Khethatipet Khethatipet 7 hours ago Liberalism was a mistake. Pope Benedict is emulating Jesus Christ in his generosity of vision, but the message is lost on many I'm sure. Secularization must be condemned if more souls are to be saved -- the Church will not be prevailed against, but it will be shrunk and especially in Germany. 15 Joe Francis Joe Francis 9 hours ago The German Catholic Church has been an utter disgrace for decades, but it’s also the demonstration of what happens when you have no supernatural faith. 146 Al Tudy Al Tudy 8 hours ago Not a Catholic myself but always felt that Benedict xvi was a real Pope. A man of such intelligence, learning and scholarship as well as humility and spirituality. His every pronouncement as Pope was obviously the fruit of profound thought and consideration, unlike the current pontiff who makes off the cuff remarks which end up contradicting one another. Francis really lacks that quality of 'popeness' which all his predecessors from Pius xii onwards had (sorry, I am not old enough to remember back further). His demeanour and attitude always strike me as if he was someone elected to the papal throne by some freakish accident, rather like Peter Sellers in the film 'Being There'. I say this as a sympathetic and objective observer of Catholic affairs. No offence intended. 66 Mimi Ness Mimi Ness 7 hours ago "Children, pray for my consecrated so that they might convert their hearts. Reading the Word of God from the pulpit is easy, but some who ought to be shepherds for the lost sheep vomit words dictated by the devil when opening their mouth." Our Lady of Peace. 16 William Tate William Tate 9 hours ago I sense that Pope Benedict XVI is being held under "house arrest" in the Vatican basement. We pray for him. Jesus I trust in You. Ave Maria. 42 Al Swann Al Swann 9 hours ago Yes, it's too little and obviously too late. He had his chance to tackle the the German heretics when he was Pope and passed on any meaningful action This didn't happen overnight. 70 William Tate William Tate 9 hours ago I sense that Pope Benedict XVI is being held under "house arrest" in the Vatican basement. We pray for him. Jesus I trust in You. Ave Maria. 58 Zigbee Gooblesnort Zigbee Gooblesnort 7 hours ago Pray that the sacraligous packumama hugger and his pack of sacrilegious perfumed princess have a conversion. 18 S.L. Hill S.L. Hill 9 hours ago It's just a shame that Pope Benedict could not come forward and say more about his thoughts on everything that Francis has been saying and doing. I'm sure that there's a reason for that. I do wish he had spoken up sooner about the happenings in the church in Germany, but I'm sure there's a reason for that as well. I'm glad he did finally say something though so that we know his thoughts instead of opining about them. 69 Kim Pozon Kim Pozon 6 hours ago Let us pray for our father Benedict for strength and francis for conversion 14 John Fisher John Fisher 8 hours ago Benedict no doubt has spoken his mind about the attack on the traditional Mass to Francis directly. He is reminding his own country and the Catholics there not to appease the kultur as they have done so often. Surely the Germans grasp...dont elevate the kultur to idolatry. Don't do it...everytime you do you bring about your own destruction. 33 Kenneth Sage Kenneth Sage 8 hours ago Don't stop telling people about our faith! 12 Charlotte Ulbricht Charlotte Ulbricht 8 hours ago In Berlin (the capital of Germany) there are only two churches that celebrate the latin mass, the one belongs the the SSPX, the other (St Afra + Institut St Philipp Neri) was supported by Benedict XVI. It is now threatened by Pope Francis but our brave provost (P. Goesche) resists! Please pray for our two churches! In a report by bishop Fellay he said that outwardly Pope Benedict XVI must show distance to the traditionalists (like SSPX) but that behind the scenes the Pope showed much more sympathy and inclination towards them, but publicly he was/is constrained to negate that. God bless that channel! 56 Tom Baird Tom Baird 6 hours ago Too little, too late is exactly right. Two doors were flung wide open to the demonic. One in Germany… the other in Rome during the mama earth garden party. Our Lady of Revelation gives us a clear picture of what is on the horizon. Pray, pray, pray… penance, penance, penance. 10 Kimberly Young Kimberly Young 9 hours ago Thank you Anthony for keeping me updated on everything that is going on in the church..🙏🏻🙏🏻 35 Ann Sobieski Ann Sobieski 6 hours ago (edited) Is there a better snapshot of the church right now… former Pope speaking about the radicalization of the Church. It is surreal. Lord, have mercy. 7 Janete Chaney Janete Chaney 7 hours ago Not the Church is worldly. Bishops, schools, theologians are worldly. All the popes before, always wrote to bishops and other teachers within correcting or warning them of heresies. The Church is perfect and doesn’t need correction. It’s man who needs correction. Modernists are trying to correct the Church because they dont believe the Church is a divine institution. 60 szudy76 szudy76 6 hours ago I thought Benedict “retired” because of health? He could’ve stayed Pope and done us all a favor. 22 liz johnston liz johnston 8 hours ago Maybe Pope Benedict can keep speaking to the German bishops any time he wishes to speak to the faithful without seeming to be going over the pope's head 7 Maureen Redler Maureen Redler 4 hours ago Our Lord has clearly expressed His displeasure with plagues and destructive flooding 5 leev jr leev jr 3 hours ago (edited) Ratzinger was largely ignored and his writings filed away when he 'was' Pope; and so why would he enjoy any greater affect on The Church now? Benedict XVI was just a loyal extension of JPII and maybe "the brains" during the Wojtyla years which presided over a great scattering that started with Vatican II. Let's not re-write recent history or worse yet relive it, but rather take a sober assessment of it. 3 Raymond Ciarleglio Raymond Ciarleglio 5 hours ago Pray Pope Benedict has one last bit of strength during his passion to rise, pick up his cross, get his shears and shave the sheep 🐑 who are actually wolves 🐺 exposing the apostates and heretics for all to see. Ave Maria. 5 TheLeonhamm TheLeonhamm 8 hours ago This latest intrusion (it is an intrusion, btw, from an emeritus into a current debate) - while welcome - was clearly not composed at the drop of a papal saturno. Nonetheless, it deals deftly with the issues arising now: i) wholesale abandonment of the Catholic Faith, by her pastors and congregations, ii) the whole shamboozle of the 'German' path in experimental synodolatry, and iii) the attack on the realities of .. Sacred Tradition (now, not least, on his own form of Modernism's attempt at an accommodation with it). In some ways, I am rather more shocked (i.e. taken aback) by Benedict XVI's response than in the actions of Francis' clique. Not for the words, but because of their startlingly honest clarity - typical of Papa Ratzinger, of course, but not usual today; he describes nothing less than a state of apostasy within the institutions of the Church (in Germany and outside) - wrought against and in defiance of the Faithful (few as they are); if you desire a compact description of diabolic disorientation, stop here and go through the statement again. St Joseph : Stand by us. Keep the Faith; tell the truth, shame the devil, and let the demons shriek. God bless. ;o) P.S. No one standing outside the Vatican in October AD 1962 could have imagined such a statement from a pope (let alone a retired one). A few ambling about the Vatican in December AD 1965 were already beginning to suspect something like it .. but not the full horror - unveiled. Indeed, many holidaying about the Vatican in the autumn of 1968 CE would have begun to see that process in full swing - yet even they could be forgiven for not appreciating just how far the sense of progressivism would go (nor how high and wide among the instituted leadership and the rules of the radical-rebellionists it could travel). 9 Fr. Bob Fr. Bob 6 hours ago I find it so very interesting that Anglo Catholics have formed Ordinariates thinking they would be safe in Rome. Yet nothing could be further from the truth. The Novus Ordo has a horrible theology behind it, born out of liberation theology. The Anglican form very similar, also born out of liberation theology. Horrible! Many Blessings! Fr. Robert + 8 Sean Degidon Sean Degidon 9 hours ago 📿 Benedict is being Benedict: telling the truth, speaking it with erudition yet simplicity, trying to cut through the noise of daily headlines to the heart of the matter; but the effort is weakened by too much irenicism, too much subtlety, not enough teeth. 🤐 20 William Tate William Tate 9 hours ago I sense that Pope Benedict XVI is being held under "house arrest" in the Vatican basement. We pray for him. Jesus I trust in You. Ave Maria. 49 Mary Woolley Mary Woolley 9 hours ago Breaking away from the "worldliness of the world" is embodied in its fullest when attending the Latin Mass, where heaven and earth meet. The attack on the TLM and the acceptance of, and demand for, certain changes in Church teaching can hardly be divorced. Neither can they co-exist. Prayers for the Church 🙏 18 Wild Bear Wild Bear 6 hours ago I wish not only he did but all priests and bishops who still believe in the Faith would speak out. Where is the leadership? we have so few with courage. It seems like when they have dissent from Church teaching the groups will come out together like in Winnipeg document. Where is the unity when it comes to supporting the Faith? 4 D D D D 7 hours ago Well better late than never his words are always addressed at a problem that needs fixed and I believe this is his way of telling the German bishops to cease before they hurt holy mother church more by their actions and being from a German lineage I do know they get very very stubborn and obstinate they need to cease and desist and put all their focus and efforts back on Christ and the spiritual not the world 3 Wall Sign Wall Sign 9 hours ago Remember that the gates of hell shall not prevail‼️ 19 J. Dean J. Dean 5 hours ago Why isn’t the command of St Paul to kick out those embracing impenitent sin being followed? (I Cor 5) 2 JayReacio JayReacio 6 hours ago Utterly indistinguishable from the church of Calvin?? Calvinists don’t typically ignore the lgbtqlmnop agenda 3 Mary Jo Papaleo Mary Jo Papaleo 3 hours ago The last few sentences of Benedict XVI's installation homily are very telling. "Pray for me, that I may learn to love the Lord more and more. Pray for me, that I may learn to love His flock more and more--in other words, you, the holy Church, each one of you and all of you together. Pray for me, that I may not flee for fear of the wolves..." We did not pray for him as much as we should have. We need to step up, we're still breathing, it's never too late. 3 Jessica Blesses Jessica Blesses 8 hours ago Jesus, Mary and Joseph, please pray for the faithful children of God. Sorrowful Mother, forgive us. Ave Maria 🕊 20 Heather Whitehead Heather Whitehead 9 hours ago They allowed or prompted him to speak purposely at this moment in time and purposely not about the obvious. Because there was talk he is prisoner....and his silence on the matter they prove as his agreement? 14 Ggl Lab1 Ggl Lab1 7 hours ago I secretly hold hope that our Lord will keep Benedict in this world for much much longer than anyone, Benedict himself included, had expected. It would be glorious to see the old pontif still holding on in his Vatican garden refuge, while Francis comes and goes, and as the next pope after that comes, and goes. 10 more years? 15 years? It is not entirely out of the realm of possibility. There would start to be rumours like those surrounding John the Apostle. "If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you?". 7 Steve Davis Steve Davis 2 hours ago Hell may not be able to destroy the only Church that Jesus Christ Himself established here on earth for us, but no parish is safe, and the homosexual clergy has the Church currently in tatters. 2 M. Williams M. Williams 1 hour ago That was a bit of click bait...but, still good info. Benedictine, "handlers" will never let him speak on his true thoughts!! 1 Benny Benny 3 hours ago (edited) Anymore, listening to Vatican II NO Catholics argue is like listening to Protestants argue. Benedict is a modernist. Listening to modernists is never edifying. 2 Theresa Goldschmidt Theresa Goldschmidt 8 hours ago Thank you, Anthony for getting onto this so quickly. Love the TLM tradition. Please pray for South Africa - expropriation of land etc. without compensation couched in communistic, nebulous terminology is being put forward. 6 JB6802 JB6802 1 hour ago Good to know that Benedict is aware of what is going on. I'm assuming he speaks at great risk. 2 Mark Browne Mark Browne 47 minutes ago Detachment is something we as laity need to talk more about. through the detachment we weaken the demonic. 1 Anthony Tan Anthony Tan 8 hours ago I feel that in Indonesia, we are in the process of secularizing the Church ! Maybe worse than in Germany, but nobody pays attention. 8 Adam Redsoil Adam Redsoil 5 hours ago (edited) 90% of German bishops now are secular heretics. 2 wms72 wms72 8 hours ago I wonder if he wishes he had not resigned, or whatever he did to throw the Church into such confusion. 5 Tradcat Pat Tradcat Pat 7 hours ago It is telling that as the German church moves perilously close to outright defiance of Rome and Schism, Francis prefers to focus on hamstringing reverence and tradition. It only makes sense for one reason: to damage the Church. And that puts him decidedly on the wrong team. I do wish Pope Benedict XVI had spoken up years earlier. But follow that logic we might as well wish he'd never resigned in the first place. Which, I'd guess, we all sorrowfully DO wish. God bless you, Anthony, very grateful for your work. 5 Sweet Harmony Sweet Harmony 3 hours ago I think Pope Benedict is calling for some "social distancing" between the Church and the world. 😋 1 Robert Weidner Robert Weidner 4 hours ago One could argue, "Does that Latin Rite still exist?" With all the languages that the Mass is said in today, and all the various prayers that can be said on any given Sunday, is the term "Latin" correct to describe it? Aw Was here Aw Was here 3 hours ago Unfortunately, Benedict abdicated the thrown of Peter to the whims of the fickle voting eligible clergy. ( they should be divinely influence to make the decision best for the Lords church, as men they are prone to errors and evil influence) Benedict no longer has a say in the church or its functions. Yes , he is allowed to speak his mind (maybe ) but it is of no consequence as he is no longer Pope. I’m glad to hear he doesn’t go along with this mess. 1 Joseph Di Russo Joseph Di Russo 4 hours ago “I saw the dead, the great and the lowly, standing before the throne, and scrolls were opened. Then another scroll was opened, the book of life. The dead were judged according to their deeds, by what was written in the scrolls.” ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭20:12‬ ‭‬‬ R J Serra R J Serra 5 hours ago It's never too late. However, the later it gets the more difficult and time consuming it is to make corrections. As Jesus pointed out to us, anything is possible with God. 3 tallmikb croft tallmikb croft 7 hours ago (edited) I think it's ok to say "be Holy'. Our Lord said "Be Holy for I Am Holy'. Thanks for doing this work 3 john spizziri john spizziri 3 hours ago What do I think? Benedict is a prisoner. He cannot say much; and I believe Out Lord wishes for him to let this disaster play out to the end. He is commenting on root causes, and is absolutely correct. 2 Maureen Redler Maureen Redler 4 hours ago God bless Pope Benedict. He nailed it. Pray. Pray pray and do penance 2 nolo ishkabibble nolo ishkabibble 8 hours ago "Be in the world but not of the World" The excuse for the changes in the Church from the centuries-old traditions was that the Church was no longer relevant or attuned to the shift from the pastoral life to the urban centered one. Centuries of religious life, political life, and daily life being parts of a whole, were now facing being estranged from each other in the modern world. The trappings of the past with its slow rhythms no longer 'fit' with the rapid evolutions of the present. What didn't change with the pace of the world was quickly labelled obsolete and abandoned - especially in its outward forms. If it looked like something of the past, probably would slow your progression; and survival meant keeping up. The leaders in the Church made a decision to mimic that pace, in order to not seem irrelevant, to escape the taint of being a quaint ancient relic. They made the mistake of exchanging a vibrant spiritual life for the outward show of 'belonging' that chasing fashion makes. And fashion is nothing but the addiction to fleeting fancy, rooted in the tastes of fickle opinion, aimed at pleasing the senses. And now, like an aging supermodel, they are finding the cruel treadmill of plastic surgery and radical diets and outrageous behavior in a desperate attempt to remain relevant, to remain desirable...pandering to a crowd who'll only look at you if you support their follies and feed their perversions. Benedict helped put the Church in that direction - for him to try and turn that course without admitting to a Mistake is all just farting in the wind. 7 John McKeron John McKeron 19 minutes ago Pope Benedict talked about the political Church back in the early sixties and that’s has been Bergoglio trade mark who talks and acts like a politician like all the other corrupt hierarchy 1 No Compromise Catholic Faithful No Compromise Catholic Faithful 11 minutes ago If Benedict really "retired", he'd be going by the name Ratzinger. He knows he was run ot of office and that he didn't leave the office properly. Pray for the Pope. He's got to get this Vatican ii 💩 out of his head, return to Tradition, and finally do the job of Pope and consecrate Russia. Ave Maria Ave Maria 6 hours ago The land of Luther... 2 Martin Bliley Martin Bliley 4 hours ago Thank you . Unfortunate Pope Francis is a nightmare. Each month is more nightmare from him. Penance for the Catholic 2 Bradley Hoyt Bradley Hoyt 10 hours ago This is just infuriating! 😡 IM SO SICK OF LIBERALISM!!!!!! 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 18 Karen Patota, Founder of A Baby's Breath Karen Patota, Founder of A Baby's Breath 6 hours ago Accepting government money for doing Catholic work should be forbidden. It puts the control of the faith based organization outside of the control of the organization, and it doesn't base its support on God. A Baby's Breath does not accept government money and the integrity of our mission stays pure. The German church was very dependent on government support. 1 EricB EricB 1 hour ago We’re forced underground into catacombs called FSSP, ICKSP, and SSPX G Dasan G Dasan 8 hours ago (edited) Why doesn’t Benedict speak out about the heresy of Francis? When Benedict became Pope, he said to pray he doesn’t flee from the wolves. Well…looks like he fled from the wolves. Much as I wish he hadn’t, even the best of us still has human failings. He may say a few words here and there, but I’m not holding my breath for anything of true significance. I’d love to be wrong. 15 Virginia A Virginia A 2 hours ago Pray for the Virgin Mary’s message to have Presidents over other issues in the church. Remember when the blessed virgin Mary Came to Fatima she gave 3 secrets remember her plead for the pope to consecrate Russia to the immaculate heart of Mary then then the immaculate heart of Mary will triumph Richard Thornton Richard Thornton 1 hour ago Withdrawing from the world......de-worldly.....does not mean detachment from reality!! It means setting a standard for participation in the world from a Roman Catholic perspective. One embraces the "Reality of Jesus Christ" to witness in the world. Modernism of Bergoglio has nothing to do with this. The world replaces God!! Everything is defiled by these people including replacing the Traditional Monstrance with a Pachamama Pagan Instrument!! On the Churches present course, Traditional Catholicism appears slated for extinction!! They are trying to get the Traditional Catholic Church as a dead horse on the back forty that with sufficient time an adrenaline heart injection will not even give a twitch!! Bergoglio like his German Stooges are working 24/7 to dismantle the Church!! Remaining faithful must go all out against this!! "Blessed be God in His Angels and in His Saints!!" 1 Christof Bernhart Christof Bernhart 3 hours ago Tradition is essential in the Catholic Church because it is understood as a revelation of the Holy Spirit. The new Mass is not merely the old Mass in a national language, but something quite different. The Holy Mass is not a reminder of the Lord's Supper, as with Protestants, but it is the offering of Jesus to his Father in flesh and blood. The priest ascends Golgotha with the three steps before the altar. No one understands why the Second Vatican Council turned the Catholic Church into a second Protestant community. That already exists and there is no need for a second one. There is no schism in the Catholic Church, the Council Church stands as a Protestant sect outside the Catholic Church. The clergy have lost their orientation and are wandering around like lost sheep. Should they give in to the spirit of the times or stick to the revelation? How do they still want to give orientation to the faithful? No wonder the churches are deserted. It is clear that hermeneutics has its limits; one cannot turn the statements of Holy Scripture into their opposite by interpretation. The solution is not to ingratiate oneself with the spirit of the times, but to turn to tradition and thus to God. A Catholic lives in this world, but is not of this world. The figures also confirm that the traditional communities are growing slowly but steadily every year, with a very young average age. 1 Lyman Copps Lyman Copps 9 hours ago Where would we be now if Benedict never resigned? 5 Vickie Cummings Vickie Cummings 3 hours ago I am very thankful that Pope Benedict DID speak out against the German Church moving away from the Roman Church. After all, that is where all this upheaval began, right? He needed to present where exactly he stood in reference to everything going on. And I believe he may have hit “the nail on its head.” Thank you, Mr. Stein 1 Michael Stoddard Michael Stoddard 1 minute ago Yes I am a 70 who was raised as a mormon and have been looking at the catholic church for the last decade BUT withhout the Latin Mass and given the current direction under Pope F, i seriously doubt that I will now make the effort... lramos45 lramos45 1 hour ago The fact that you have to translate what he said to us in plain English is sad. There was no ambiguity in Francis’s latest motu proprio! Terror of Demons and Padre Pio Terror of Demons and Padre Pio 3 hours ago I have never clicked a video so quickly as I did this one! Not expecting this as the topic,it was great nevertheless ! I feel like it is too late but then again, better late than never. Some of the quotes here from Benedict show truly how a shepherd should be to his sheep of the Church. Absolutley beautiful! One doesn't see such shepherding done by the current pontiff! Gracie Mitchem Gracie Mitchem 48 minutes ago How is Francis still pope if he lacks faith? 1 Mimi Ness Mimi Ness 7 hours ago Partial Message by the Virgin Mary: " Beloved children, pray, pray, pray: war is at the gates, pray for the powerful of the earth so that they might take decisions different from those already established. Pray for America, which will be punished for having accepted everything that is against God. Once again I tell you: if God and prayer are not in your lives, you will not have hope; raise up songs of praise and read the Bible during the day. My beloveds, ecclesial Freemasonry wants a single church, with a single religion; the Church must rather follow in the footsteps of her fathers, because she is holy, Catholic, apostolic, founded on Peter. They no longer recognize Jesus alive in the Eucharist, and many of them are leading my children into the clutches of the devil. Children, there will be persecution, even because of the name of Jesus, but those who have faith will never have anything to fear, because Jesus will be your comfort and your serenity, and I who am your Mother will always protect my little remnant together with the my angels". 7 martin ginge martin ginge 1 hour ago I'm concerned more with the definition you put up Deposit of Faith which appears at 2:31 on the above video. I'm not sure where you found it, but it appears deeply suspicious to me. It's not only found in the written Word it resides within the main elements if Tradition itself. It is itself a product of Tradition.. Nicolás Fernández Aranda Nicolás Fernández Aranda 6 hours ago Vatican II is not only the dream of the Alta Bendita. It was also de work of protestantized "Catholic" German theologians like Rahner and Ratzinger, children of the Tubingen Protestant spirit.

Jesus knows our every weakness take it to the Lord in prayer as to - Why the departure that for whatever the reasons - Why had he to resign that today even Pope Francis would surely feeling awkward that a Pope is there to checkmate.

It is surreal. Lord, have mercy. 7 Janete Chaney Janete Chaney 7 hours ago Not the Church is worldly. Bishops, schools, theologians are worldly. All the popes before, always wrote to bishops and other teachers within correcting or warning them of heresies. The Church is perfect and doesn’t need correction. It’s man who needs correction. Modernists are trying to correct the Church because they dont believe the Church is a divine institution. 60 szudy76 szudy76 6 hours ago I thought Benedict “retired” because of health? He could’ve stayed Pope and done us all a favor. 22 liz johnston liz johnston 8 hours ago Maybe Pope Benedict can keep speaking to the German bishops any time he wishes to speak to the faithful without seeming to be going over the pope's head 7 Maureen Redler Maureen Redler 4 hours ago Our Lord has clearly expressed His displeasure with plagues and destructive flooding 5 leev jr leev jr 3 hours ago (edited) Ratzinger was largely ignored and his writings filed away when he 'was' Pope; and so why would he enjoy any greater affect on The Church now? Benedict XVI was just a loyal extension of JPII and maybe "the brains" during the Wojtyla years which presided over a great scattering that started with Vatican II. Let's not re-write recent history or worse yet relive it, but rather take a sober assessment of it. 3 Raymond Ciarleglio Raymond Ciarleglio 5 hours ago Pray Pope Benedict has one last bit of strength during his passion to rise, pick up his cross, get his shears and shave the sheep 🐑 who are actually wolves 🐺 exposing the apostates and heretics for all to see. Ave Maria. 5 TheLeonhamm TheLeonhamm 8 hours ago This latest intrusion (it is an intrusion, btw, from an emeritus into a current debate) - while welcome - was clearly not composed at the drop of a papal saturno. Nonetheless, it deals deftly with the issues arising now: i) wholesale abandonment of the Catholic Faith, by her pastors and congregations, ii) the whole shamboozle of the 'German' path in experimental synodolatry, and iii) the attack on the realities of .. Sacred Tradition (now, not least, on his own form of Modernism's attempt at an accommodation with it). In some ways, I am rather more shocked (i.e. taken aback) by Benedict XVI's response than in the actions of Francis' clique. Not for the words, but because of their startlingly honest clarity - typical of Papa Ratzinger, of course, but not usual today; he describes nothing less than a state of apostasy within the institutions of the Church (in Germany and outside) - wrought against and in defiance of the Faithful (few as they are); if you desire a compact description of diabolic disorientation, stop here and go through the statement again. St Joseph : Stand by us. Keep the Faith; tell the truth, shame the devil, and let the demons shriek. God bless. ;o) P.S. No one standing outside the Vatican in October AD 1962 could have imagined such a statement from a pope (let alone a retired one). A few ambling about the Vatican in December AD 1965 were already beginning to suspect something like it .. but not the full horror - unveiled. Indeed, many holidaying about the Vatican in the autumn of 1968 CE would have begun to see that process in full swing - yet even they could be forgiven for not appreciating just how far the sense of progressivism would go (nor how high and wide among the instituted leadership and the rules of the radical-rebellionists it could travel). 9 Fr. Bob Fr. Bob 6 hours ago I find it so very interesting that Anglo Catholics have formed Ordinariates thinking they would be safe in Rome. Yet nothing could be further from the truth. The Novus Ordo has a horrible theology behind it, born out of liberation theology. The Anglican form very similar, also born out of liberation theology. Horrible! Many Blessings! Fr. Robert + 8 Sean Degidon Sean Degidon 9 hours ago 📿 Benedict is being Benedict: telling the truth, speaking it with erudition yet simplicity, trying to cut through the noise of daily headlines to the heart of the matter; but the effort is weakened by too much irenicism, too much subtlety, not enough teeth. 🤐 20 William Tate William Tate 9 hours ago I sense that Pope Benedict XVI is being held under "house arrest" in the Vatican basement. We pray for him. Jesus I trust in You. Ave Maria. 49 Mary Woolley Mary Woolley 9 hours ago Breaking away from the "worldliness of the world" is embodied in its fullest when attending the Latin Mass, where heaven and earth meet. The attack on the TLM and the acceptance of, and demand for, certain changes in Church teaching can hardly be divorced. Neither can they co-exist. Prayers for the Church 🙏 18 Wild Bear Wild Bear 6 hours ago I wish not only he did but all priests and bishops who still believe in the Faith would speak out. Where is the leadership? we have so few with courage. It seems like when they have dissent from Church teaching the groups will come out together like in Winnipeg document. Where is the unity when it comes to supporting the Faith? 4 D D D D 7 hours ago Well better late than never his words are always addressed at a problem that needs fixed and I believe this is his way of telling the German bishops to cease before they hurt holy mother church more by their actions and being from a German lineage I do know they get very very stubborn and obstinate they need to cease and desist and put all their focus and efforts back on Christ and the spiritual not the world 3 Wall Sign Wall Sign 9 hours ago Remember that the gates of hell shall not prevail‼️ 19 J. Dean J. Dean 5 hours ago Why isn’t the command of St Paul to kick out those embracing impenitent sin being followed? (I Cor 5) 2 JayReacio JayReacio 6 hours ago Utterly indistinguishable from the church of Calvin?? Calvinists don’t typically ignore the lgbtqlmnop agenda 3 Mary Jo Papaleo Mary Jo Papaleo 3 hours ago The last few sentences of Benedict XVI's installation homily are very telling. "Pray for me, that I may learn to love the Lord more and more. Pray for me, that I may learn to love His flock more and more--in other words, you, the holy Church, each one of you and all of you together. Pray for me, that I may not flee for fear of the wolves..." We did not pray for him as much as we should have. We need to step up, we're still breathing, it's never too late. 3 Jessica Blesses Jessica Blesses 8 hours ago Jesus, Mary and Joseph, please pray for the faithful children of God. Sorrowful Mother, forgive us. Ave Maria 🕊 20 Heather Whitehead Heather Whitehead 9 hours ago They allowed or prompted him to speak purposely at this moment in time and purposely not about the obvious. Because there was talk he is prisoner....and his silence on the matter they prove as his agreement? 14 Ggl Lab1 Ggl Lab1 7 hours ago I secretly hold hope that our Lord will keep Benedict in this world for much much longer than anyone, Benedict himself included, had expected. It would be glorious to see the old pontif still holding on in his Vatican garden refuge, while Francis comes and goes, and as the next pope after that comes, and goes. 10 more years? 15 years? It is not entirely out of the realm of possibility. There would start to be rumours like those surrounding John the Apostle. "If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you?". 7 Steve Davis Steve Davis 2 hours ago Hell may not be able to destroy the only Church that Jesus Christ Himself established here on earth for us, but no parish is safe, and the homosexual clergy has the Church currently in tatters. 2 M.

Benedictine, "handlers" will never let him speak on his true thoughts!! 1 Benny Benny 3 hours ago (edited) Anymore, listening to Vatican II NO Catholics argue is like listening to Protestants argue. Benedict is a modernist. Listening to modernists is never edifying. 2 Theresa Goldschmidt Theresa Goldschmidt 8 hours ago Thank you, Anthony for getting onto this so quickly. Love the TLM tradition. Please pray for South Africa - expropriation of land etc. without compensation couched in communistic, nebulous terminology is being put forward. 6 JB6802 JB6802 1 hour ago Good to know that Benedict is aware of what is going on. I'm assuming he speaks at great risk. 2 Mark Browne Mark Browne 47 minutes ago Detachment is something we as laity need to talk more about. through the detachment we weaken the demonic. 1 Anthony Tan Anthony Tan 8 hours ago I feel that in Indonesia, we are in the process of secularizing the Church ! Maybe worse than in Germany, but nobody pays attention. 8 Adam Redsoil Adam Redsoil 5 hours ago (edited) 90% of German bishops now are secular heretics. 2 wms72 wms72 8 hours ago I wonder if he wishes he had not resigned, or whatever he did to throw the Church into such confusion. 5 Tradcat Pat Tradcat Pat 7 hours ago It is telling that as the German church moves perilously close to outright defiance of Rome and Schism, Francis prefers to focus on hamstringing reverence and tradition. It only makes sense for one reason: to damage the Church. And that puts him decidedly on the wrong team. I do wish Pope Benedict XVI had spoken up years earlier. But follow that logic we might as well wish he'd never resigned in the first place. Which, I'd guess, we all sorrowfully DO wish. God bless you, Anthony, very grateful for your work. 5 Sweet Harmony Sweet Harmony 3 hours ago I think Pope Benedict is calling for some "social distancing" between the Church and the world. 😋 1 Robert Weidner Robert Weidner 4 hours ago One could argue, "Does that Latin Rite still exist?" With all the languages that the Mass is said in today, and all the various prayers that can be said on any given Sunday, is the term "Latin" correct to describe it? Aw Was here Aw Was here 3 hours ago Unfortunately, Benedict abdicated the thrown of Peter to the whims of the fickle voting eligible clergy. ( they should be divinely influence to make the decision best for the Lords church, as men they are prone to errors and evil influence) Benedict no longer has a say in the church or its functions. Yes , he is allowed to speak his mind (maybe ) but it is of no consequence as he is no longer Pope. I’m glad to hear he doesn’t go along with this mess. 1 Joseph Di Russo Joseph Di Russo 4 hours ago “I saw the dead, the great and the lowly, standing before the throne, and scrolls were opened.

Thanks for doing this work 3 john spizziri john spizziri 3 hours ago What do I think? Benedict is a prisoner. He cannot say much; and I believe Out Lord wishes for him to let this disaster play out to the end. He is commenting on root causes, and is absolutely correct. 2 Maureen Redler Maureen Redler 4 hours ago God bless Pope Benedict. He nailed it. Pray. Pray pray and do penance 2 nolo ishkabibble nolo ishkabibble 8 hours ago "Be in the world but not of the World" The excuse for the changes in the Church from the centuries-old traditions was that the Church was no longer relevant or attuned to the shift from the pastoral life to the urban centered one. Centuries of religious life, political life, and daily life being parts of a whole, were now facing being estranged from each other in the modern world. The trappings of the past with its slow rhythms no longer 'fit' with the rapid evolutions of the present. What didn't change with the pace of the world was quickly labelled obsolete and abandoned - especially in its outward forms. If it looked like something of the past, probably would slow your progression; and survival meant keeping up. The leaders in the Church made a decision to mimic that pace, in order to not seem irrelevant, to escape the taint of being a quaint ancient relic. They made the mistake of exchanging a vibrant spiritual life for the outward show of 'belonging' that chasing fashion makes. And fashion is nothing but the addiction to fleeting fancy, rooted in the tastes of fickle opinion, aimed at pleasing the senses. And now, like an aging supermodel, they are finding the cruel treadmill of plastic surgery and radical diets and outrageous behavior in a desperate attempt to remain relevant, to remain desirable...pandering to a crowd who'll only look at you if you support their follies and feed their perversions. Benedict helped put the Church in that direction - for him to try and turn that course without admitting to a Mistake is all just farting in the wind. 7 John McKeron John McKeron 19 minutes ago Pope Benedict talked about the political Church back in the early sixties and that’s has been Bergoglio trade mark who talks and acts like a politician like all the other corrupt hierarchy 1 No Compromise Catholic Faithful No Compromise Catholic Faithful 11 minutes ago If Benedict really "retired", he'd be going by the name Ratzinger. He knows he was run ot of office and that he didn't leave the office properly. Pray for the Pope. He's got to get this Vatican ii 💩 out of his head, return to Tradition, and finally do the job of Pope and consecrate Russia. Ave Maria Ave Maria 6 hours ago The land of Luther... 2 Martin Bliley Martin Bliley 4 hours ago Thank you . Unfortunate Pope Francis is a nightmare. Each month is more nightmare from him.

It puts the control of the faith based organization outside of the control of the organization, and it doesn't base its support on God. A Baby's Breath does not accept government money and the integrity of our mission stays pure. The German church was very dependent on government support. 1 EricB EricB 1 hour ago We’re forced underground into catacombs called FSSP, ICKSP, and SSPX G Dasan G Dasan 8 hours ago (edited) Why doesn’t Benedict speak out about the heresy of Francis? When Benedict became Pope, he said to pray he doesn’t flee from the wolves. Well…looks like he fled from the wolves. Much as I wish he hadn’t, even the best of us still has human failings. He may say a few words here and there, but I’m not holding my breath for anything of true significance. I’d love to be wrong. 15 Virginia A Virginia A 2 hours ago Pray for the Virgin Mary’s message to have Presidents over other issues in the church. Remember when the blessed virgin Mary Came to Fatima she gave 3 secrets remember her plead for the pope to consecrate Russia to the immaculate heart of Mary then then the immaculate heart of Mary will triumph Richard Thornton Richard Thornton 1 hour ago Withdrawing from the world......de-worldly.....does not mean detachment from reality!! It means setting a standard for participation in the world from a Roman Catholic perspective. One embraces the "Reality of Jesus Christ" to witness in the world. Modernism of Bergoglio has nothing to do with this. The world replaces God!! Everything is defiled by these people including replacing the Traditional Monstrance with a Pachamama Pagan Instrument!! On the Churches present course, Traditional Catholicism appears slated for extinction!! They are trying to get the Traditional Catholic Church as a dead horse on the back forty that with sufficient time an adrenaline heart injection will not even give a twitch!! Bergoglio like his German Stooges are working 24/7 to dismantle the Church!! Remaining faithful must go all out against this!! "Blessed be God in His Angels and in His Saints!!" 1 Christof Bernhart Christof Bernhart 3 hours ago Tradition is essential in the Catholic Church because it is understood as a revelation of the Holy Spirit. The new Mass is not merely the old Mass in a national language, but something quite different. The Holy Mass is not a reminder of the Lord's Supper, as with Protestants, but it is the offering of Jesus to his Father in flesh and blood. The priest ascends Golgotha with the three steps before the altar. No one understands why the Second Vatican Council turned the Catholic Church into a second Protestant community. That already exists and there is no need for a second one. There is no schism in the Catholic Church, the Council Church stands as a Protestant sect outside the Catholic Church. The clergy have lost their orientation and are wandering around like lost sheep. Should they give in to the spirit of the times or stick to the revelation? How do they still want to give orientation to the faithful? No wonder the churches are deserted. It is clear that hermeneutics has its limits; one cannot turn the statements of Holy Scripture into their opposite by interpretation. The solution is not to ingratiate oneself with the spirit of the times, but to turn to tradition and thus to God. A Catholic lives in this world, but is not of this world. The figures also confirm that the traditional communities are growing slowly but steadily every year, with a very young average age. 1 Lyman Copps Lyman Copps 9 hours ago Where would we be now if Benedict never resigned? 5 Vickie Cummings Vickie Cummings 3 hours ago I am very thankful that Pope Benedict DID speak out against the German Church moving away from the Roman Church. After all, that is where all this upheaval began, right? He needed to present where exactly he stood in reference to everything going on. And I believe he may have hit “the nail on its head.” Thank you, Mr. Stein 1 Michael Stoddard Michael Stoddard 1 minute ago Yes I am a 70 who was raised as a mormon and have been looking at the catholic church for the last decade BUT withhout the Latin Mass and given the current direction under Pope F, i seriously doubt that I will now make the effort... lramos45 lramos45 1 hour ago The fact that you have to translate what he said to us in plain English is sad. There was no ambiguity in Francis’s latest motu proprio! Terror of Demons and Padre Pio Terror of Demons and Padre Pio 3 hours ago I have never clicked a video so quickly as I did this one! Not expecting this as the topic,it was great nevertheless ! I feel like it is too late but then again, better late than never. Some of the quotes here from Benedict show truly how a shepherd should be to his sheep of the Church. Absolutley beautiful! One doesn't see such shepherding done by the current pontiff! Gracie Mitchem Gracie Mitchem 48 minutes ago How is Francis still pope if he lacks faith? 1 Mimi Ness Mimi Ness 7 hours ago Partial Message by the Virgin Mary: " Beloved children, pray, pray, pray: war is at the gates, pray for the powerful of the earth so that they might take decisions different from those already established. Pray for America, which will be punished for having accepted everything that is against God. Once again I tell you: if God and prayer are not in your lives, you will not have hope; raise up songs of praise and read the Bible during the day. My beloveds, ecclesial Freemasonry wants a single church, with a single religion; the Church must rather follow in the footsteps of her fathers, because she is holy, Catholic, apostolic, founded on Peter. They no longer recognize Jesus alive in the Eucharist, and many of them are leading my children into the clutches of the devil. Children, there will be persecution, even because of the name of Jesus, but those who have faith will never have anything to fear, because Jesus will be your comfort and your serenity, and I who am your Mother will always protect my little remnant together with the my angels". 7 martin ginge martin ginge 1 hour ago I'm concerned more with the definition you put up Deposit of Faith which appears at 2:31 on the above video. I'm not sure where you found it, but it appears deeply suspicious to me. It's not only found in the written Word it resides within the main elements if Tradition itself. It is itself a product of Tradition.. Nicolás Fernández Aranda Nicolás Fernández Aranda 6 hours ago Vatican II is not only the dream of the Alta Bendita.

Pope Benedict is emulating Jesus Christ in his generosity of vision, but the message is lost on many I'm sure. Secularization must be condemned if more souls are to be saved -- the Church will not be prevailed against, but it will be shrunk and especially in Germany. 15 Joe Francis Joe Francis 9 hours ago The German Catholic Church has been an utter disgrace for decades, but it’s also the demonstration of what happens when you have no supernatural faith. 146 Al Tudy Al Tudy 8 hours ago Not a Catholic myself but always felt that Benedict xvi was a real Pope. A man of such intelligence, learning and scholarship as well as humility and spirituality. His every pronouncement as Pope was obviously the fruit of profound thought and consideration, unlike the current pontiff who makes off the cuff remarks which end up contradicting one another. Francis really lacks that quality of 'popeness' which all his predecessors from Pius xii onwards had (sorry, I am not old enough to remember back further). His demeanour and attitude always strike me as if he was someone elected to the papal throne by some freakish accident, rather like Peter Sellers in the film 'Being There'. I say this as a sympathetic and objective observer of Catholic affairs. No offence intended. 66 Mimi Ness Mimi Ness 7 hours ago "Children, pray for my consecrated so that they might convert their hearts.

Hill 9 hours ago It's just a shame that Pope Benedict could not come forward and say more about his thoughts on everything that Francis has been saying and doing. I'm sure that there's a reason for that. I do wish he had spoken up sooner about the happenings in the church in Germany, but I'm sure there's a reason for that as well. I'm glad he did finally say something though so that we know his thoughts instead of opining about them. 69 Kim Pozon Kim Pozon 6 hours ago Let us pray for our father Benedict for strength and francis for conversion 14 John Fisher John Fisher 8 hours ago Benedict no doubt has spoken his mind about the attack on the traditional Mass to Francis directly. He is reminding his own country and the Catholics there not to appease the kultur as they have done so often. Surely the Germans grasp...dont elevate the kultur to idolatry. Don't do it...everytime you do you bring about your own destruction. 33 Kenneth Sage Kenneth Sage 8 hours ago Don't stop telling people about our faith! 12 Charlotte Ulbricht Charlotte Ulbricht 8 hours ago In Berlin (the capital of Germany) there are only two churches that celebrate the latin mass, the one belongs the the SSPX, the other (St Afra + Institut St Philipp Neri) was supported by Benedict XVI. It is now threatened by Pope Francis but our brave provost (P. Goesche) resists! Please pray for our two churches! In a report by bishop Fellay he said that outwardly Pope Benedict XVI must show distance to the traditionalists (like SSPX) but that behind the scenes the Pope showed much more sympathy and inclination towards them, but publicly he was/is constrained to negate that. God bless that channel! 56 Tom Baird Tom Baird 6 hours ago Too little, too late is exactly right. Two doors were flung wide open to the demonic.

Calvinists don’t typically ignore the lgbtqlmnop agenda 3 Mary Jo Papaleo Mary Jo Papaleo 3 hours ago The last few sentences of Benedict XVI's installation homily are very telling. "Pray for me, that I may learn to love the Lord more and more. Pray for me, that I may learn to love His flock more and more--in other words, you, the holy Church, each one of you and all of you together. Pray for me, that I may not flee for fear of the wolves..." We did not pray for him as much as we should have. We need to step up, we're still breathing, it's never too late. 3 Jessica Blesses Jessica Blesses 8 hours ago Jesus, Mary and Joseph, please pray for the faithful children of God. Sorrowful Mother, forgive us. Ave Maria 🕊 20 Heather Whitehead Heather Whitehead 9 hours ago They allowed or prompted him to speak purposely at this moment in time and purposely not about the obvious. Because there was talk he is prisoner....and his silence on the matter they prove as his agreement? 14 Ggl Lab1 Ggl Lab1 7 hours ago I secretly hold hope that our Lord will keep Benedict in this world for much much longer than anyone, Benedict himself included, had expected. It would be glorious to see the old pontif still holding on in his Vatican garden refuge, while Francis comes and goes, and as the next pope after that comes, and goes. 10 more years? 15 years? It is not entirely out of the realm of possibility. There would start to be rumours like those surrounding John the Apostle. "If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you?". 7 Steve Davis Steve Davis 2 hours ago Hell may not be able to destroy the only Church that Jesus Christ Himself established here on earth for us, but no parish is safe, and the homosexual clergy has the Church currently in tatters. 2 M. Williams M. Williams 1 hour ago That was a bit of click bait...but, still good info. Benedictine, "handlers" will never let him speak on his true thoughts!! 1 Benny Benny 3 hours ago (edited) Anymore, listening to Vatican II NO Catholics argue is like listening to Protestants argue. Benedict is a modernist. Listening to modernists is never edifying. 2 Theresa Goldschmidt Theresa Goldschmidt 8 hours ago Thank you, Anthony for getting onto this so quickly. Love the TLM tradition. Please pray for South Africa - expropriation of land etc. without compensation couched in communistic, nebulous terminology is being put forward. 6 JB6802 JB6802 1 hour ago Good to know that Benedict is aware of what is going on. I'm assuming he speaks at great risk. 2 Mark Browne Mark Browne 47 minutes ago Detachment is something we as laity need to talk more about. through the detachment we weaken the demonic. 1 Anthony Tan Anthony Tan 8 hours ago I feel that in Indonesia, we are in the process of secularizing the Church ! Maybe worse than in Germany, but nobody pays attention. 8 Adam Redsoil Adam Redsoil 5 hours ago (edited) 90% of German bishops now are secular heretics. 2 wms72 wms72 8 hours ago I wonder if he wishes he had not resigned, or whatever he did to throw the Church into such confusion. 5 Tradcat Pat Tradcat Pat 7 hours ago It is telling that as the German church moves perilously close to outright defiance of Rome and Schism, Francis prefers to focus on hamstringing reverence and tradition. It only makes sense for one reason: to damage the Church. And that puts him decidedly on the wrong team. I do wish Pope Benedict XVI had spoken up years earlier. But follow that logic we might as well wish he'd never resigned in the first place. Which, I'd guess, we all sorrowfully DO wish. God bless you, Anthony, very grateful for your work. 5 Sweet Harmony Sweet Harmony 3 hours ago I think Pope Benedict is calling for some "social distancing" between the Church and the world. 😋 1 Robert Weidner Robert Weidner 4 hours ago One could argue, "Does that Latin Rite still exist?" With all the languages that the Mass is said in today, and all the various prayers that can be said on any given Sunday, is the term "Latin" correct to describe it? Aw Was here Aw Was here 3 hours ago Unfortunately, Benedict abdicated the thrown of Peter to the whims of the fickle voting eligible clergy. ( they should be divinely influence to make the decision best for the Lords church, as men they are prone to errors and evil influence) Benedict no longer has a say in the church or its functions. Yes , he is allowed to speak his mind (maybe ) but it is of no consequence as he is no longer Pope. I’m glad to hear he doesn’t go along with this mess. 1 Joseph Di Russo Joseph Di Russo 4 hours ago “I saw the dead, the great and the lowly, standing before the throne, and scrolls were opened.

However, the later it gets the more difficult and time consuming it is to make corrections.

Thanks for doing this work 3 john spizziri john spizziri 3 hours ago What do I think? Benedict is a prisoner. He cannot say much; and I believe Out Lord wishes for him to let this disaster play out to the end. He is commenting on root causes, and is absolutely correct. 2 Maureen Redler Maureen Redler 4 hours ago God bless Pope Benedict. He nailed it. Pray. Pray pray and do penance 2 nolo ishkabibble nolo ishkabibble 8 hours ago "Be in the world but not of the World" The excuse for the changes in the Church from the centuries-old traditions was that the Church was no longer relevant or attuned to the shift from the pastoral life to the urban centered one. Centuries of religious life, political life, and daily life being parts of a whole, were now facing being estranged from each other in the modern world. The trappings of the past with its slow rhythms no longer 'fit' with the rapid evolutions of the present. What didn't change with the pace of the world was quickly labelled obsolete and abandoned - especially in its outward forms. If it looked like something of the past, probably would slow your progression; and survival meant keeping up. The leaders in the Church made a decision to mimic that pace, in order to not seem irrelevant, to escape the taint of being a quaint ancient relic. They made the mistake of exchanging a vibrant spiritual life for the outward show of 'belonging' that chasing fashion makes. And fashion is nothing but the addiction to fleeting fancy, rooted in the tastes of fickle opinion, aimed at pleasing the senses. And now, like an aging supermodel, they are finding the cruel treadmill of plastic surgery and radical diets and outrageous behavior in a desperate attempt to remain relevant, to remain desirable...pandering to a crowd who'll only look at you if you support their follies and feed their perversions. Benedict helped put the Church in that direction - for him to try and turn that course without admitting to a Mistake is all just farting in the wind. 7 John McKeron John McKeron 19 minutes ago Pope Benedict talked about the political Church back in the early sixties and that’s has been Bergoglio trade mark who talks and acts like a politician like all the other corrupt hierarchy 1 No Compromise Catholic Faithful No Compromise Catholic Faithful 11 minutes ago If Benedict really "retired", he'd be going by the name Ratzinger. He knows he was run ot of office and that he didn't leave the office properly. Pray for the Pope. He's got to get this Vatican ii 💩 out of his head, return to Tradition, and finally do the job of Pope and consecrate Russia. Ave Maria Ave Maria 6 hours ago The land of Luther... 2 Martin Bliley Martin Bliley 4 hours ago Thank you . Unfortunate Pope Francis is a nightmare. Each month is more nightmare from him.

It puts the control of the faith based organization outside of the control of the organization, and it doesn't base its support on God. A Baby's Breath does not accept government money and the integrity of our mission stays pure. The German church was very dependent on government support. 1 EricB EricB 1 hour ago We’re forced underground into catacombs called FSSP, ICKSP, and SSPX G Dasan G Dasan 8 hours ago (edited) Why doesn’t Benedict speak out about the heresy of Francis? When Benedict became Pope, he said to pray he doesn’t flee from the wolves. Well…looks like he fled from the wolves. Much as I wish he hadn’t, even the best of us still has human failings. He may say a few words here and there, but I’m not holding my breath for anything of true significance. I’d love to be wrong. 15 Virginia A Virginia A 2 hours ago Pray for the Virgin Mary’s message to have Presidents over other issues in the church. Remember when the blessed virgin Mary Came to Fatima she gave 3 secrets remember her plead for the pope to consecrate Russia to the immaculate heart of Mary then then the immaculate heart of Mary will triumph Richard Thornton Richard Thornton 1 hour ago Withdrawing from the world......de-worldly.....does not mean detachment from reality!! It means setting a standard for participation in the world from a Roman Catholic perspective. One embraces the "Reality of Jesus Christ" to witness in the world. Modernism of Bergoglio has nothing to do with this. The world replaces God!! Everything is defiled by these people including replacing the Traditional Monstrance with a Pachamama Pagan Instrument!! On the Churches present course, Traditional Catholicism appears slated for extinction!! They are trying to get the Traditional Catholic Church as a dead horse on the back forty that with sufficient time an adrenaline heart injection will not even give a twitch!! Bergoglio like his German Stooges are working 24/7 to dismantle the Church!! Remaining faithful must go all out against this!! "Blessed be God in His Angels and in His Saints!!" 1 Christof Bernhart Christof Bernhart 3 hours ago Tradition is essential in the Catholic Church because it is understood as a revelation of the Holy Spirit. The new Mass is not merely the old Mass in a national language, but something quite different. The Holy Mass is not a reminder of the Lord's Supper, as with Protestants, but it is the offering of Jesus to his Father in flesh and blood. The priest ascends Golgotha with the three steps before the altar. No one understands why the Second Vatican Council turned the Catholic Church into a second Protestant community. That already exists and there is no need for a second one. There is no schism in the Catholic Church, the Council Church stands as a Protestant sect outside the Catholic Church. The clergy have lost their orientation and are wandering around like lost sheep. Should they give in to the spirit of the times or stick to the revelation? How do they still want to give orientation to the faithful? No wonder the churches are deserted. It is clear that hermeneutics has its limits; one cannot turn the statements of Holy Scripture into their opposite by interpretation. The solution is not to ingratiate oneself with the spirit of the times, but to turn to tradition and thus to God. A Catholic lives in this world, but is not of this world. The figures also confirm that the traditional communities are growing slowly but steadily every year, with a very young average age. 1 Lyman Copps Lyman Copps 9 hours ago Where would we be now if Benedict never resigned? 5 Vickie Cummings Vickie Cummings 3 hours ago I am very thankful that Pope Benedict DID speak out against the German Church moving away from the Roman Church. After all, that is where all this upheaval began, right? He needed to present where exactly he stood in reference to everything going on. And I believe he may have hit “the nail on its head.” Thank you, Mr. Stein 1 Michael Stoddard Michael Stoddard 1 minute ago Yes I am a 70 who was raised as a mormon and have been looking at the catholic church for the last decade BUT withhout the Latin Mass and given the current direction under Pope F, i seriously doubt that I will now make the effort... lramos45 lramos45 1 hour ago The fact that you have to translate what he said to us in plain English is sad.

Not expecting this as the topic,it was great nevertheless ! I feel like it is too late but then again, better late than never. Some of the quotes here from Benedict show truly how a shepherd should be to his sheep of the Church. Absolutley beautiful! One doesn't see such shepherding done by the current pontiff! Gracie Mitchem Gracie Mitchem 48 minutes ago How is Francis still pope if he lacks faith? 1 Mimi Ness Mimi Ness 7 hours ago Partial Message by the Virgin Mary: " Beloved children, pray, pray, pray: war is at the gates, pray for the powerful of the earth so that they might take decisions different from those already established. Pray for America, which will be punished for having accepted everything that is against God. Once again I tell you: if God and prayer are not in your lives, you will not have hope; raise up songs of praise and read the Bible during the day. My beloveds, ecclesial Freemasonry wants a single church, with a single religion; the Church must rather follow in the footsteps of her fathers, because she is holy, Catholic, apostolic, founded on Peter. They no longer recognize Jesus alive in the Eucharist, and many of them are leading my children into the clutches of the devil. Children, there will be persecution, even because of the name of Jesus, but those who have faith will never have anything to fear, because Jesus will be your comfort and your serenity, and I who am your Mother will always protect my little remnant together with the my angels". 7 martin ginge martin ginge 1 hour ago I'm concerned more with the definition you put up Deposit of Faith which appears at 2:31 on the above video. I'm not sure where you found it, but it appears deeply suspicious to me. It's not only found in the written Word it resides within the main elements if Tradition itself. It is itself a product of Tradition.. Nicolás Fernández Aranda Nicolás Fernández Aranda 6 hours ago Vatican II is not only the dream of the Alta Bendita.

Jesus knows our every weakness take it to the Lord in prayer as to - Why the departure that for whatever the reasons - Why had he to resign that today even Pope Francis would surely feeling awkward that a Pope is there to checkmate.
