Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith

It is as if, in a first movement of frankness and loyalty, he had already said far too much, infringing the law of silence, not to say dissimulation and lying, which the popes have imposed on Rome since 1960, regarding this terrible secret which burns them up.

Six months previously, the prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith had taken up the question of the third secret in an article entitled, Here is Why the Faith is in Crisis.

The section devoted to the secret bore the double title, The Madonna as Defense of the Faith, Why it is Necessary to Turn to Mary.

And he began this way.

So I said, okay, I'll write to the Vatican.

And at that time, Cardinal LaVeda was the prefect for the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.

And I told him about the problem in the U.S. adult catechism.

And on page 131, and his secretary, Archbishop Amato, conceded that he received it and that he would take it under advisement and get back to me.

It may be printed, July 15.

Sure they have a conceit, if he of the bottomless pit had not long since broke prison, that this quadruple exorcism would bar him down.

I fear their next design will be to get into their custody the licensing of that which they say Claudius intended, but went not through with.

Now again, I can actually refute all the Roman Catholic coping over this passage because did you know the Vatican issued a clarification of what this means? Yep.

There's a Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith document that Loftin has highlighted many, many times.

And the clarification says, what we mean by these passages in Nostra Aetate and Lumen Gentium are that the Holy Spirit uses Islam to save people and uses Hinduism to save people.

That's what it says.

We now have a solid proof that this theme really belongs to the Third Secret in Cardinal Ratzinger's declaration to Vittorio Massori in August 1984.

After stating that he had read the secret, the prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith answered the journalist who had asked why this secret was still not revealed.

Because, according to the judgment of the popes, it adds nothing to what a Christian must already know from Revelation, a radical call to conversion, the absolute gravity of history, dangers threatening the faith and life of the Christian, and therefore the world, and also the importance of the last times.

But the things contained in this third secret correspond to what is announced in scripture.

one man in the world who is really master of the minds and hearts of others, an old man clothed in white garments.

End of Chapter 8 Chapter 9 of Pope Pius X Pius X and Modernism In July 1907 the Sacred Congregation of the Holy Office issued the decree Lamentaboli.

which condemned sixty-five distinctive modernist doctrines two months later appeared the encyclical paschendi denouncing under the name of modernism a group of errors which struck at the very roots of the christian faith these events marked the breaking of a storm that had been threatening for some time of which the condemnation of certain books of the abb luisi and other incidents had been the warning rumblings luisi's condemnation let loose an outburst at the rationalist anti-clerical and modernist press the old shadowy images of rome gagging her progressive men will be revived with added venom to poison the mind of the public prophesied a writer in the ecclesiastical review and the prophecy was certainly fulfilled in vain did abb monchamp point out after close analysis of loisy's book the impossibility of escaping a conclusion which places the writer in direct opposition to the authoritative teaching of the church the authoritative teaching of the church was to the minds of many a much less important thing than the retaining of a few intelligent men within her fold yet even among those outside the church there were men who saw more clearly from the paternal standpoint of the church of rome or professor sanday it seems to me if i may say so that the authorities have acted wisely it is not an insuperable barrier placed in the way of future progress but the intimation of a need of precaution the storm of abuse which had arisen at the condemnation of loisy had been increased by the publication of the decree lamentable reached its climax at the appearance of the encyclical paschendi which tore the veil from modernism and exposed its errors with ruthless precision Modernism, like Jansenism, had made up its mind to remain in the Church and to mold her teaching to its will, and now it was only one more of these many heresies that had fallen on the rock of the promise and had been broken in the falling.

The Pope and Cardinal Marie Duval, who as Secretary of State had the honor of sharing in all the attacks that were leveled at his illustrious chief, were denounced as intolerant fanatics.
