Thus, it has pleased our dear Heavenly Father to call to Himself, and to Her, the one that His Blessed Mother « was eager to clasp to Her Heart ». It came to pass like a candle going out, after a glance towards Our Lady of Fatima. In the eyes of the doctor, however, this death holds a mystery.

The Psalms, inspired prayer Psalm 18 (17): Apocalypse

Since it is the “medieval dating” that is “fake”, the Holy Shroud is true. This is why it will be the object of a new exhibition next spring. It will be a premiere, for, since 2002, the Holy Shroud resembles more what Peter and John discovered in the empty tomb than what we contemplated in 1998.

The truth is ours!

Brother Thomas’ article on St. Thomas in China gave rise to a friend’s reflexions. We publish extensive excerpts. Our Father has always taught that faith and science go hand in hand: we must therefore continue to study the scientific bases of the traditions of these Apostolic Churches.

Letter on the Sillon (2)

In the second part of his Apostolic letter, St. Pius X expounds the Sillon’s doctrinal errors that sow erroneous and fatal notions on authority, liberty and obedience, among Catholic youth, while at the same time instilling distrust of the Church. At the root of all their fallacies on social questions, lie the false hopes of Sillonists on human dignity.

The world-wide financial, economic, and social “crisis” into which the planet is sinking, makes it our urgent duty to continue reading and commenting on Gaudium et Spes’s third chapter, i.e., from the point where the Abbé de Nantes had left off.

In the mid-70s, the Abbé de Nantes foresaw that the triumph of the Faith would necessarily begin with reconciliation among Catholics. He did not content himself with foreseeing; he wished already to make provisions for this reconciliation by taking advantage of all the opportunities to specify the conditions for it.

« The humble Joseph is little known, » complained St. Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort at the beginning of the eighteenth century. Three centuries later, we are still deploring the same ignorance and indifference. Let us listen to the lesson that St. Joseph is trying to breathe into our souls, and into the whole Church.

Men believed in the myth of perpetual and accelerated progress during these years when the Council was listening to them. Our bishops make democracy their religion and therefore, hold fast to the old programme: to reduce inequalities by striking at wealth and distributing it to the poor… At the end of this study of the conciliar texts, the Abbé de Nantes expresses his stupefaction, his scandal, and his trembling.

Appeal to the Holy Father for clarification on the relativist and Islamically correct drift that has led highly placed Catholic prelates to legitimise Islam as a religion and transform churches and parishes into places of assembly for Islamic extremists.

Let us glance through Sacred History up to our days and see the extent to which the head of angels has taken an interest in the struggles of France and of the Church. Perhaps we will find in it more reasons to pray and invoke him along with Mary in this Apocalyptic combat that we are living through today.

“World” war is before our eyes as in 1914, as in 1940. It is indeed the most indisputable aspect of “globalisation”, against a background of financial crisis, recession, and, therefore, famine. There is holy war in the Sudan, in Afghanistan, in Pakistan, in Iraq, in Sri Lanka; piracy, in the Indian Ocean.

After having laid down the principles and foundations of its pastoral aid, which it offers to the whole world for its salvation and its earthly future, the Council intends to implement them. It thus chose to deal with some problems of special urgency that, in fact, fall under the province of individual morality, as we used to say formerly.

Crusade against the New Catechisms

The Dutch Catechism, Introduction to the Catholic Faith was published shortly after the Council, and in France, the Fonds commun obligatoire. The Abbé de Nantes immediately understood the plot that was being hatched: the bishops want to impose on us the « catechism of their new religion ». The new catechism would thus be the first battlefield of the Counter-Reformation.

The Messiah’s « heart » was crushed but finds its joy anew at the thought of God’s mercy, which it attracts by its sacrifice (Ps 13). The Messiah’s « heart » speaks the truth in answer to the « heart » of Nabal, who personifies the madman who knows only how to blaspheme (Ps 14). The Messiah’s speaking the truth is the reason that He is unshakable (Ps 16). Yahweh-Sedeq can test Him, but He will find nothing deceptive in Him.

• Ezekiel 16: Adultery
• The relationship between the Church and the world (40-41)

Among the numerous testimonies relating graces received through the intercession of John Paul I, here is the account of the healing of Giuseppe Denora according to Mgr Giorgio Lise, vice-postulator of the cause, rector of the “Papa Luciani” Centre. This recognition gives hope that the Italian Pope will be raised to the altars more rapidly than either his predecessor, Paul VI, or his successor, John Paul II.

While Russia continues her national recovery, in the West no one is able to say what is going to happen. God alone knows. He has perhaps decided to convert the world by means of poverty rather than by war or Communism. The Church was conspicuous by her silence; her « SOCIAL DOCTRINE » is quite incapable of providing solutions. As for Benedict XVI…

Humanly speaking, we do not see what could lead Benedict XVI to challenge the « Council’s achievements », as he says. He is too attached to them, for they are his own ideas since the early days of his priesthood. One day the vision that Jacinta had of the Holy Father praying on his knees in a church before the Immaculate Heart must be fulfilled.

Rebellious against the conciliar heresy, because « the truth is ours », the CCR is a work of Truth. As the enemy of schism, faithful to the law, to authority, to the unity of the Holy Church, the CCR is a work of Charity.

O Virgin ever virgin, this third millennium had to come, after the great disorder and crazy pride within the Church, in order that in Rome herself, mother and teacher of all the Churches, Fr. Salvatore M. Perrella, might, with an air of devotion, bite Your heel and spread his blasphemy in Ossarvatore Romano, an organ of the Holy See read by millions of trusting and defenceless faithful .

Before continuing his commentary on Gaudium et spes, the Abbé de Nantes recapitulates and sets out in a triptych the principle and foundation of what he calls Karol Wojtyla’s « gnosis » such as they are to be found in the first chapter of the PASTORAL CONSTITUTION ON THE CHURCH IN THE MODERN WORLD.

Here we continue the literal commentary on GAUDIUM ET SPES, as compared with the exposition of the pure Catholic Faith. The demonstration is damning for the Council’s religion. The Council’s only real object of adoration is man: his conquests, his genius, his courage, and his victories; from these stem his responsibilities in building the world for the happiness of everyone.
The communitarian nature of man’s vocation in God’s plan (n°23 to 26).
Reverence for the human person (n°27-31)
The Incarnate Word and Human Solidarity (n°32)

This chapter aims at convincing humanity that the extensive control that the great modern industrial powers take over all forms of material energy corresponds to God’s plan, which leads to material, moral, and finally spiritual betterment, all to the praise of the Creator.

Human navigation in the universe (n° 33 to 37)
Human activity and its fulfillment in the Paschal mystery (n°38 – 39)

Mgr Le Couëdic, the Bishop of Troyes, summed up the « Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World » in a sentence: « The Church has espoused the world », which thus justifies the Abbé de Nantes when he indignantly denounced this appalling adultery.

-PLEA FOR ATHEISM (19 TO 22)

Christians are so full of love for the three or five billion human beings who are their contemporaries that they have a message to pass on to them. The result will be that they pass from the anxiety and tears of today to the fulfilled hopes and laughter of tomorrow. For such is the religion, the Gospel of the Council.

The vision of 13 July 1917 still remains a « secret » today, because it was revealed to the children of Fatima in anticipation of our own times when missionaries would be deprived of their vocation to martyrdom, and not only the missionaries.

According to the best historians, it is the very ardent devotion of the Portuguese to Our Lady of Lourdes that brought this people to be favoured with the marvels of Fatima and the admirable restoration of a political authority favourable to the Church.

In this month of the Sacred Heart, which is dedicated to entering into this furnace of love that burns with – without being burnt up – the ardent desire of saving all men from the fire of Hell, it suffices to read the Decree Nostra Aetate to understand how Charity has cooled in the Heart of the Church, our Mother, since the Second Vatican Council.

During our pilgrimage, we are going to ask God that He may restore His Church through the power that He has given to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, through the intercession of holy Fr. Peyramale and through the merits of our Father, who has sacrificed himself to this cause for a long time...

God wills to reign by Mary over the whole earth; and in order to establish this Catholic reign, Mary has chosen France as a privileged instrument. The history of France since 1858 is a tortuous history in appearance, which leads, however, by the most direct “orthodromic” way, to the goal that is the Kingdom of God established on earth as in Heaven. This way that leads to God is « the Immaculate Conception ».

Processions are the great desire of the Heart of Mary because they are the most resounding expression of our love for Her; they are, moreover, the symbol of the pilgrimage of life and the combat that we wage together against the enemy of our souls. The account of our pilgrimage from Pau to Lourdes…

« Lourdes itself proves Catholicism. O Immaculate Mary, what the Apostle said, what the Prophet Isaiah announced is fulfilled every day in Your privileged sanctuary. This is where our delighted eyes contemplate a twofold wonder: proud minds are confounded, true believers are flooded with light and love. » Account of our pilgrimage to Lourdes.

From Pius XI to Benedict XVI, the Popes have not paid attention to the warnings of Our Lady… and the errors of Russia have spread throughout the world, even into the Church. A Salesian of Don Bosco, certainly inspired, speaks to Benedict XVI about the consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

The second part « Unitatis Redintegratio » implements a dialectical synthesis between Catholic truth and its antithesis, the equal value of the various Churches. The history of divisions is detailed without analysing their dogmatic causes and great events… Our conclusion shines with divine truth.

This Decree seems to be a discourse of consolation, a diplomatic act to make good to Catholic brothers who have been appalled by the small importance accorded them in the planned negotiations with the Eastern schismatics. But…

Vatican II’s brand of ecumenism is the story of a successful plot the intention of which was to make the Catholic Church accept the new conception of Christian unity. This marks a complete break with the traditional conception.

Under this title we have undertaken to establish a theological « dialogue » with Islam. Here is its last part, which establishes by means of text of the Gospel the redemptive value of the Passion of Jesus, the unique universal Saviour.

After having studied the Declaration on religious freedom, our Father turned to the Decree on ecumenism “UNITATIS REDINTEGRATIO”, to write a literal commentary with a pen « soaked in vitriol », as he said. What a surprise! These pages are afire with indignation and revive our faith in THE ONE, HOLY CATHOLIC CHURCH! Written in 1996 they have only gained in topicality.

Because the Abbé de Nantes has succeeded in keeping us in the integral Catholic Faith, free from all Modernism, but open to all the findings of theological and exegetical science, let us accept the challenge of replying to the “138” Muslim intellectuals and theologians who wrote to Benedict XVI.

The declaration Dignitatis humanæ on religious freedom, the inevitable preamble to the opening of the Church to the modern world, is the conciliar charter of their mutual reconciliation. To build up a fraternal world with the participation of all human religions and ideologies, without discrimination, such was the chimera that the Abbé de Nantes, denounced even before the closing of the Council.

A great admirer of Fr. Poppe, he led the battle in favour of Fatima with remarkable competence, starting in the 1940s, by refuting the theories of Fr. Édouard Dhanis He passed away peacefully last 26 August at a hundred years of age.

« Here in Lourdes, as everywhere on earth, the Virgin Mary is at work weaving an immense network of Her spiritual sons and daughters throughout the whole world in order to launch a powerful offensive against the forces of the Devil, in order to shut him away and thus prepare the final victory of Her divine Son, Jesus Christ. »

The encyclical of the Pope is an invitation to rekindle in our souls the theological virtue of hope. We soon realise, however, that the reason for the despair of man is lacking in the teaching of the Holy Father. Consequently, the motivation for hope is also lacking and we do not know « in what consists this hope which, as hope, is redemption »…

The more we move on in our critical examination of the Second Vatican texts in the school of our Father, the more we realise that, the Council having wanted to associate artificially the religion of Jesus Christ, Son of God, Saviour of men with the religion of man and of his liberty within the one and only Church, the latter has practically replaced the former.

Following the publication in of the « Letter of the Abbé de Nantes to H. H. Pope Benedict XVI » in the October issue of He is Risen, we have received the following letter from our bishop, Mgr Stenger, Bishop of Troyes.

I. Thirty-three years of appeals to Rome always frustrated.

II. Ten years of appealing to the Immaculate.

At the Second Vatican Council, the schema on the liturgy was the first one to be presented and discussed in the aula. Unlike the other schemata, it responded to the desires of the reformist party. Did it really fall within the framework of the liturgical renewal desired by St. Pius X and Pius XII?

On the eve of his eightieth birthday, Cardinal Giacomo Biffi has published his Memoirs. The ideas of the former Archbishop of Bologna spring without restraint from each of the 640 pages of this book, formulating surprising, sometimes serious, reservations on the present evolution of the Church Certain pages, very damaging for the Second Vatican Council, take the turn of a Liber accusationis.

The Dogmatic Constitution Lumen Gentium is considered, and rightly so, as the central document of the Second Vatican Council, the blueprint of its Reform of the Church. It imprinted in the minds of the Fathers the conviction that Vatican II was a sort of absolute beginning in the history of the Church.

He was the only one to explain what Christian social action should be, what it should not become at all costs, and why there was therein a doctrinal and moral question that engaged the whole of religion as well as the whole of societies… He saw everything, he did everything, and he was not listened to, understood and obeyed.

In October and November 1967, the first two issues of the CRC published the First Letter of the Abbé de Nantes to His Holiness Pope Paul VI. It has gone unanswered to this day; nevertheless, this Letter remains amazingly topical, to such an extent that it seems to have been written for His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI.

The dogmatic Constitution “Dei Verbum”, which was promulgated on 18 November 1965 by the Second Vatican Council, is « one of the pillars of the entire conciliar edifice », Pope Benedict XVI declared. The question is whether it brought about a renewal of the Church’s life or whether, since it was promulgated, the sources of the Faith have been forbidden to the mass of the faithful.

Psalm 16, Conserva me, powerfully and enthusiastically expresses the faithful Yahwist’s confidence in the promise with which Psalm 15 concludes: he will « never be shaken. »

Our Father used to say that his criticism of the Council appeared to him « as a duty for the salvation of souls, for the indefectible holiness of the Church, but also for the Truth of God, and even for the sole honour and credit of human and Christian intelligence. The cause of the ruin of the Church is there, under my scalpel, and it must be eradicated. »

The procession of all the bishops of the world, on 11 October 1962, was wonderful to behold as it ascended towards St. Peter’s. It entered a dreadful machine of manipulation. The two thousand good-willed conservatives who composed this mitred crowd were going to be continuously delivered up to the preaching and the pressure of the progressivist clan that daily became more arrogant.

The motu proprio Summorum Pontificum rehabilitates and restores the ancient Roman liturgy after thirty-eight years of proscription! It implements the measures for an indult of pacification that the Abbé de Nantes suggested in 1984 in order that the Roman Church be mindful of her Catholicity and renounce the sectarianism of the reformers.

Benedict XVI’s book, Jesus of Nazareth, marks the centenary of St. Pius X’s condemnation of Modernism but in an unequal manner. If he in fact reiterates the condemnation of certain errors, in particular those pertaining to the historicity of Jesus Christ and the Gospels, he repeats certain others.

The false peace of the Évian Accords, which « expels us from one battlefield but leaves us at war with one another », like the peace that withdrew us from Indochina, will soon allow the Enemy to eat into « the heart of the nation ».

For the centenary of the encyclical Pascendi, in which St. Pius X condemned Modernism, Benedict XVI’s book Jesus of Nazareth strikes a decisive blow to its latest manifestation, which has held sway since the 1950s under the name of « historico-critical research ». A critical commentary.

« Jesus, how little-known you are! » Letter to My Friends, April 1962.

« On 1 July, feast of the Precious Blood of Our Lord, the perjured Christian handed Algeria over to the Muslim assassin. This monstrous surrender is the fruit of a strict collaboration, a clever, cunning collaboration replete with violence, a collaboration of those in power with the Enemy in the crucifixion of a historical community, French in name and Christian in soul. »

When we informed the Abbé de Nantes of the election of Cardinal Ratzinger, he only said: « It will be difficult… » The first two years of this pontificate have to a great extent confirmed this forecast. This will be the intention of all our prayers and sacrifices until next October 13…

Cardinal Bertone’s book, The Last Seer of Fatima, My Conversations with Sister Lucy, fabricates for us a false Lucy, whose « revelations » are a hymn to the glory and praise of John Paul II. Proof of the imposture.

When de Gaulle called on both loyal and rebel Algerians without discrimination to decide the destiny of Algeria democratically, he set in motion the very mechanism that produced the abandonment of Algeria. As in classic drama, the same people cheered their saviour in the very forum where they would fall under the anti-riot police’s hail of bullets, or they would flee this hell.

The tragic state in which John Paul II left the Church is the fruit of his failings in the supernatural virtues of faith, hope and charity, and of the little importance that he attached to the demands of Heaven revealed at Fatima by the Virgin Mary. It is the doctrine that discerns the miracle and not the contrary. Thus, our opposition to his beatification is more necessary than ever!

The Abbé de Nantes has shown that in its Constitution on the Liturgy, the Second Vatican Council had decreed grand, perfectly traditional principles. But they had no practical effects, since the constitution added a single key word through which the revolution would rush in: participation.

The Psalms, inspired prayer
Psalm 15: Guest of Yahweh

Psalm 15 gives a summary of our entire holy religion. The Psalmist already sung his hope in the salvation of Israel that must arise from Sion and continues his meditation on this « holy mountain ». This psalm is a proto-Gospel.

Despite the successes of military operations in Algeria, Algiers imagined that it had found in De Gaulle the energetic leader of the real country; he was, however, nothing but the baneful organiser of this legal country that betrayed us. It is a common, horrendous error, or more accurately, in the spontaneous outcry of millions of Frenchmen, it is the trace of the enormous falsehood of the Liberation.

In order to restore the holy, the divine Eucharist, a major concern of our Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI, it is necessary to have recourse to good metaphysics. It alone can make it understood that it is Jesus who accomplishes anew what He has effected fully once and for all... it is the sacrifice of His Life for the remission of sins.

Insert : « Be wine, be bread! »

Is the « social doctrine of the Church » in conformity with the teaching of Jesus Christ? In the light of the experience of social Catholics and saints of the 19^th century, one may well cast doubt on it and set against this doctrine a « communitarian ecology ».

According to a recent survey, France is now only half “catholic”: one Frenchman out of two declares himself Catholic, compared to 80 % in 1990, and 69 % in 2000. The fall is dizzying… a fall to where? to Hell?

We celebrate this year the fiftieth anniversary of this « Battle of Algiers », in which the French army, grappling with savage terrorism, came out victorious, but at what a price! It did not lose its honour, but perhaps it lost a little of its soul.

Psalm 14 is familiar to us. It belongs to the same context as the preceding psalms, namely the persecutions and divisions following the return from the Exile. It is an act of hope in the coming of the Messiah, who is to be born of Sion and restore Israel.

The “historico-critical” method reveals that the life of Mohammed and the history of the Arab conquest were invented from beginning to end in order to explain a book, the Qur’an, which preceded both of them. Jewish and Christian tradition, on the other hand, existed first and the writings, both of the Old and the New Testaments, come after the founding events, in order to put down in writing the accounts transmitted by the tradition.

Our exact Catholic Christian Faith and our devotion to the peace and happiness of nations oblige us to refuse the remedy that Benedict XVI has proposed for the present state of the world. For all that, he nevertheless describes the situation with a certain lucidity: « The true conquests of the philosophy of the Enlightenment, the rights of man »

The ultimate combat that the Virgin and Satan are waging against one another in the very heart of the Pope is found in its entirety in this speech to the Curia on 22 December. Peace is presented as « a responsibility and a task » without consideration for the gift of God, as though the fulfilment of this promise depended on man and not on the Virgin Mary, to whom God entrusted it explicitly at Fatima.

The Algerian War: The Rebellion and its Accomplices (1954-1956)

In October 1954, General Boyer de la Tour, resident general in Tunisia went to Paris to warn Prime Minister Mendès-France of the imminence of a revolt in Algeria. The Prime Minister merely smiled. We know what happened. During the night of 1 November 1954, the Algerian insurrection broke out.

We can understand that the Holy Father is concerned when he considers the situation of Christians in the East. Neither the openness nor the “dialogue” that Paul VI and John Paul II engaged in have remedied it; quite to the contrary. Nevertheless, we are going to see that Benedict XVI persists in the same political utopia.

« To bring Islam into the community of the faithful of the Bible, of the sons of Abraham, would be a magnificent work », Benedict XVI said. For our part, we can propose a rigorous translation of the Qur’an, suggesting a new hypothesis on the historical origins of Islam.

For souls that have been dramatically neglected for so many years, it is easy to undermine the very foundations of this historical community that Algeria constituted under French domination. The mysticism of « universal fraternity » would serve as a cover for pure and simple Marxist revolutionary ideology, in contradiction to Catholic order and true Christian charity.

The same hold true for our Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI as it does for the « Bishop dressed in White » of the Secret of Fatima who walks « with halting step ». What does this mean? His speech at the Pontifical University of the Lateran on 21 October and at the General Audience of 18 October will make us understand.

Fifty years ago, the Abbé de Nantes inaugurated a work, which today fills forty volumes, by writing a “Letter to My Friends” destined for his spiritual sons and daughters who were gathered together in the course of the first years of his priestly ministry.

The military conquest, the administration of the natives and even the colonisation of the Algerian lands were marked by this scandalous State apostasy. Grace would no longer pass through the legal country, but by means of the real country, which would nonetheless accomplish God’s work, despite incredible sufferings and contradictions.

The hope of the faithful Yahwists was focused on the Messiah during the five centuries that followed their return from the Exile. As a meditation on the prophecies, this psalm announces His joy amidst His sufferings, for He was to offer Himself as Victim for the salvation of His people.

In the matter of the establishment of the Institute of the Good Shepherd what is of ill omen is to observe that the Holy See and the new institute act as though « serious and constructive criticism » of the Council has not been offered hitherto and is yet to be made…

The Word took on flesh in order to speak to us the language of the Cross, a stumbling block for the Jews, and foolishness for the Gentiles, that is to say for the Greeks whose wisdom Benedict XVI praises, basically in the same manner as St. Paul in his discourse to the Areopagus of Athens.

From the first days of the conquest, French Algeria took over from Roman Algeria. Everyone – colonists, soldiers, priests, and academics of our colonial period – were conscious of reconnecting with Rome which, during six hundred years, had pacified and colonised Africa.

According to the message of Fatima, peace depends, while waiting for us to convert, on Our Lady and on no other person. Consequently, it is no wonder that we have war, for such was not Pope John Paul II’s vision, recalled by Benedict XVI.

The ministry of the bishops and the vocation of the faithful are referred to throughout Questions 177 to 190. Our Father’s experience in the Young Christian Students, which he relates in his Memoirs, remarkably sheds light on the participation of laymen in the apostolate of the hierarchy. Article

The errors of Russia assailed Fr. Krémer in Cameroon and pursued him on Reunion Island. We will also see how he sanctified his missions employing the Church’s ordinary means, with the help of his devotion to Our Lady of Fatima and his adherence to the work of the Catholic Counter-Reformation.

The example of true missionaries such as Fr. Joseph Krémer whose life we present to you in this special issue remains the sole remedy for the illusory aggiornamento of the missions advocated by the Vatican II, which ended in this poorly understood “openness to the other” that is deplored today by Cardinal Bertone.

A predestined childhood: « A little voice said to me: “You must become a missionary Father, go to Africa and eventually let yourself be eaten there.” »

From the Wehrmacht to the hell of the gulag: « After fifty years, there are events that cannot be forgotten… After my liberation and for ten years thereafter, I had nightmares every night. I was haunted by the war and my captivity in Russia. »

Return to religious life and the first missions: « The doctor asked me a few questions about my war wounds and my captivity. His diagnostic was quickly pronounced: I was a sturdy man and fit for the most difficult missions! Destination: Cameroon! »

Decolonisation: Everything would have been perfect had politics not introduced hatred among these good people.

Mauritius: Yes, truly each day of the year spent at Holy Cross parish was for me a real feast day! It was around this period that I went on pilgrimage to Fatima for the first time.

THE PARISH OF LA RESSOURCE: « It is the parish that I loved the most; it will always be in my heart. Divine Providence prepared me at length before giving it to me. I can say in all truth that I am a happy priest. »
FROM FATIMA TO THE CATHOLIC COUNTER-REFORMATION: « Providence granted me the grace of knowing the Abbé de Nantes at the right moment; otherwise I would have either lost the Faith or followed Mgr Lefebvre. »

« That is why I say to our many friends, the patient and impatient alike: it is for us to see clearly and to speak out but not to be rash or destructive. The sheep must await their Shepherds’ conversion, must wait for the Holy Spirit to speak into the ear and the heart of the Church. We must pray and suffer with the Holy Father, and, without doubt, for him. »

Even with a Catholic Pope, there is no way of dispensing with a Catholic Counter-Reformation. The other day in Warsaw, Benedict XVI was « bound » by something that our Father called the Conciliar Pact, a pact that dates back to Paul VI.

Let us savour the questions in the abridgement of the Catechism of the Catholic Church concerning the Church, accompanied by a commentary of quotations, from Benedict XVI and the Abbé de Nantes, resonating with the same love for the Church and for the Truth.

The story began late in the afternoon on 19 August 2005 in front of St. Pantaleon’s Church in Cologne. The Pope smiled, stretched out his two hands in order to bless the seriously ill child whose mother held him in her arms: Victor is bald, wears a mask over his mouth, and a hearing aid.

In a world that is crumbling and destroying itself under the influence of false religions and ideologies hostile to men, inventions of demons, the Church alone possesses the energies and the supernatural means of salvation that come to her from Christ.

Twenty years of excavations and more than twelve hundred methodically inventoried sites have led a team of researchers directed by Emmanuel Anati to locate « the mountain of God ». This revolutionary discovery leads to a new dating of the Exodus and challenges many exegetic interpretations.

The members of the Catholic Counter-Reformation submit to the approval of the Holy See an Act of Union, an expression of their Faith and of their programme of action, in the hope that it will serve the cause of the reconciliation of all Catholics around their common Father, in the service of God and of all our human brethren.

Questions 109 to 133, dedicated to the Passion and the Resurrection of Jesus, now Judge of the living and the dead, will be an excellent meditation for this end of Lent and for Holy Week. On the Cross, the pierced Christ visibly attests to the forgiveness of sinful humanity by the invisible God.

« Now that my sacrifice has been made, they can say or do whatever they like. What do I care? » In the mystery of the destiny of the Marshal, his crown lacked the seal of suffering, humiliation and supreme sacrifice.

The “rehabilitation” of the Abbé de Nantes has arrived through an unexpected channel: nothing less than an encyclical! Of course, Benedict XVI did not do it intentionally! It is all the more marvellous to see, by sheer force of Catholic truth, two great minds thinking alike.

An adage from the Carmelites opens the corpus of the writings of the Abbé de Nantes: « In the evening of life, only one thing is left: love. Everything must be done through love. » Our Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI marks the beginning of his pontificate with the same maxim, by posing straightaway the great question: what does it mean to love God?

In Part 2, the Pope proves to be distinctly more reactionary in comparison with his immediate predecessors, stating once again the specific role of the Catholic Church. Nevertheless, we can observe a lack of knowledge of politics as the science and the art of the common good, anterior to any individual good and distinct from the sum of particular goods.

In his speech to the Curia, Benedict XVI poses a question: « Why has the implementation of the Council, in large parts of the Church, thus far been so difficult? » Let us heed his reply. The validity of the Abbé de Nantes’ opposition, which he has maintained despite all obstacles, is at stake.

For Midnight Mass, Pope Benedict XVI gave a homily worthy of the Fathers of the Church: « The Lord said to Me: You are My son; this day I have begotten You. » With these words of Psalm 2, the Church begins the Vigil Mass of Christmas, at which we celebrate the Birth of Jesus Christ our Redeemer in a stable in Bethlehem.

The programmes of the television channel Arte, broadcast throughout the Christmas season under the title The Bible Unveiled, claimed to demonstrate to millions of television viewers that Abraham, Moses and David never existed. In order to prove the contrary, let us begin by remarking that their history produced our civilisation because it is true.

The life of Nazareth, the Baptism of Jesus, His temptations in the desert, the proclamation of the Kingdom, the signs and miracles that manifest it, these are the topics of the questions of the Catechism of Benedict XVI that the Abbé de Nantes comments on for us.

After the loss of Dien Bien Phu the French Republic hastened to abandon to the Communists the northern part of what had formerly been the pearl of our empire. In order to understand the underlying reasons for such a setback, we must go back nine years to 9 March 1945, the date of the Japanese offensive.

It is this spirit of Saint Pius X that is being reborn today in Italy and Spain, under the direction of Benedict XVI. On the other hand, France is paying for a century of secularism and forty years of religious freedom. But the Pope’s homily for the feast of the Immaculate Conception strengthens our confidence in God.

Psalm 12 describes the pride of the wicked that the faithful Yahwists came up against on their return from the Exile, a pride comparable to that of the builders of the tower of Babel. Its conclusion, which is also the lesson of the Exile, is an anticipation of the Magnificat.

The Church in Vietnam, the second largest Catholic community in Asia, is often mentioned in the news today. It is to France that Indo China, today divided into three countries, owes its Catholicism. Here is the moving historical retrospective.

Cardinal Frings’ biography, which has just come out in Germany, reveals to us that objections against the “cult of man” proclaimed at the Council by Paul VI go back a long way in the mind of Pope Benedict XVI.

It is Our Lady’s sadness that St. Catherine Labouré witnessed 175 years ago during the vision of the Virgin with the Globe that manifested itself at Saigon on Saturday, 29 October 2005. The Abbé de Nantes, in a meditation on the Third Secret of Fatima, in the form of a complaint of love and mercy, gives us its profound meaning.

To the Austrian bishops who had come to make their ad limina visit, H. H. Pope Benedict XVI addressed this discourse on the tone of a paternal admonition in order to identify the key points that require « their particular attention for the salvation and good of the flock ».

For the Advent season, the Catechism of Benedict XVI teaches us the Catholic Faith concerning angels, the creation of man, original sin, the good news of salvation in Jesus Christ, the mystery of the Incarnation, the Immaculate Conception and the Maternity of the Most Blessed Virgin…

What delights us is to discover for each of the 598 questions and answers of the catechism of Benedict XVI an appropriate commentary in the rich and diverse work of the Abbé de Nantes. Thus may catechists exchange the bishop’s “catechism suitcase” with the Pope’s “Catholic catechism”.

Once it is absolutely established that Revelation only comes to us in and through the infallible and unchanging teaching of the Church, everyone is allowed to draw from it to the extent of the gift that is given to him and to unite himself to God in contemplation. Is there anything better here below than this divine teaching?

Cardinal von Galen ranks among the figureheads of Catholicism in Germany. His beatification by our Holy Father Benedict XVI last 9 October enters into a plan of grace and mercy of the Holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary, whose ardent desire is to see this nation return to the bosom of the Roman Church.

« When we have a pope and when he is doing his job, our duty is twofold: first, let him do his work, and then help him to carry it out. » A dream of Don Bosco announced a century in advance this first phase of a necessary Counter-Reformation The events through which we are living confirm this analysis in an impressive way.

According to Abbé Ratzinger, the New Covenant begins at Nazareth. « It is only from that point that the Church can make a new start and be cured. She could never provide the true response to the rebellion of our century against power and wealth, if Nazareth is not a true-life reality within the Church. »

After having demonstrated that this catechism was not merely an abridgement of the CCC, but that it corrected it, we must now nourish our souls with this renovated teaching. We propose to offer to our readers, each month, if it so pleases God, a catechism lesson by means of a systematic commentary on the catechism of Benedict XVI, translated by us from the original Italian text.

God recognises His own in the midst of the wicked and the impious, in that they long in their hearts for the Messiah who will come to redeem them from their sins by His suffering. Since the return from the Exile, their hope was renewed by the meditation of the songs of the Suffering Servant.

The Trial of John Paul II, finally opened!

As a contribution to the process of beatification of the said Servant of God, Brother Bruno, in the name of the Little Brothers and Little Sisters of the Sacred Heart, has addressed the following report to the postulator of the cause.

The Catechism
of Benedict XVI

In 1993, after having submitted a Book of Accusation Against the Author of the Supposed Catechism of the Catholic Church, which denounced twelve heresies in it, the Abbé de Nantes, demanded a new edition of the Catechism, revised and corrected of all its errors. Does the catechism of Benedict XVI answer this request?

Just as John Paul I very quickly proved himself to be a new St. Pius X without knowing it, Benedict XVI is proving himself to be a new John Paul I without knowing it and even, in his criticism of the Council, a true Abbé de Nantes without knowing it.

It was between November 1942 and August 1944 that France’s fate was decided, or rather that of the “two Frances”, the ideal and the one that actually conducts business. To understand how, we will follow in parallel the history of the Maréchal, legitimate sovereign, loved by his people, and that of General de Gaulle, eternal figure of the rebel.

Let us not be reluctant to share in the joy of the entire Church. There are signs, portents, that encourage us to have confidence, and numerous comparisons are evident that make Benedict XVI… another Jean Paul I without knowing it! Let us listen to Jacinta repeating to us: « Poor Holy Father! We must pray very much for him! »

An article by Rogers gives an account of the precise and numerous experiments he has carried out since 1988. The results call into question the validity of the medieval dating of the Holy Shroud: the sample that was used in the radiocarbon test was not part of the original cloth and is invalid for determining the age of the Shroud.

A source of blessing for man, source of life, the cult of God and obedience to His Commandments are not optional. Man is free to obey or to disobey, of course, but he suffers the consequences. Sister Lucy, the messenger of Our Lady of Fatima, recalls to us Her teachings on faith, hope and charity; teachings that are also those of Benedict XVI.

In order to demonstrate without delay our heartfelt adherence to all the good that is accomplished in the service of Christ and His Church, without asking for the impossible, let us re-read the open letter that our Father addressed in 1985 to him, who has become our Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI.

Since John Paul II persisted until death in his gnosis, what remains for us to do is to pray for the successor that God gave him. If we had no faith, and were not expecting a resounding miracle from the Immaculate Heart of Mary, we would no longer believe it possible for a successor to be able to leave behind this error that today earns Jean Paul II the unanimous approbation of the World.

The Catholic Faith professed by the Abbé de Nantes, which remains « unchanged, unchangeable, and non-negotiable by reason of its divine perfection », contrasts with the profession of « faith in man » of John Paul II. His Letter addressed on 11 February to Mgr Jean-Pierre Ricard, the President of the Bishops’ Conference, and to all the Bishops of France, is the most recent proof of this.

On 5 January 1889, Mgr Freppel published “The French Revolution: On the Subject of the Centenary of 1789”, a brochure that was destined to be widely circulated. Mgr d’Hulst, the very liberal director of the Institut catholique de Paris, was forced to admit: “You have produced a masterpiece saying in 150 pages the last word on the Revolution.”

Who killed the Lord? Why? Where? When? How?

Why did the Jewish people crucify Our Lord? The film of Mel Gibson on the Passion has brought this question back to the front pages. This is fortunate, because an answer must be given in order to avoid crucifying Him a second time. This is a diabolical temptation that recurs from century to century, as certain reactions provoked by the film prove. Let us view it in the light of the teachings of our Father.

Sister Lucy died at ninety-seven years of age. In all truth, she is the great prophet of the twentieth century, together with Pope Pius X. As little heeded by her people as the holy Pontiff, and as little as the Old Testament prophets were by the people of Israel.

By carefully protecting us from all heresy and all schism, our Father made sure that his Counter-Reformation fight, i.e., his confrontation with Rome in view of obtaining a doctrinal judgement on the teachings of the Second Vatican Council, was placed under the protection of the laws of the Church.

A Son of the Church (7) : « THE SPIRIT OF FATHER DE FOUCAULD »

The Abbé de Nantes is to Father de Foucauld what St. Paul is to Our Lord. First, by defending French Algeria against its wreckers, then by coming to the defence of the universal Church. This is when he proved himself to be truly a “universal brother”, just like Father de Foucauld when he went to Sahara as a “lost priest.”

After Psalm 9, the Messiah’s thanksgiving for the defeat of the pagan peoples, Psalm 10 appeals to God against the hypocritical and greedy false brethren who triumph insolently, in the interior of the Country. Thanksgiving gives way to an earnest prayer to Yahweh in order that He break His incomprehensible silence and His cruel inaction. This is topical!

 A Son of the Church (6) : « CHILDREN ARE ASKING FOR BREAD » (1987-1993)

The impasse in which our French bishops find themselves in their workshop for a new catechesis does have a solution. The book of Sister Lucy recapitulating the Calls from the Message of Fatima offers material for a complete catechism that we could entitle “The Immaculate Heart of Mary, a path of divinisation”.

Psalm 9 is a magnificent continuation of Psalm 8, to the glory of the Son of God, Our Lord Jesus Christ, and of His Mother. It well and truly envisages the death of the Son Himself, Son of God, son of David, yet at the same time it is a pure call to the resurrection of Him who was sent to die for our Salvation. This psalm already proclaims the annunciation of the « daughter of Sion ». Article

The Church replied to him through her artists, even before any dogmatic definition. Drawing their inspiration from Holy Scripture and liturgical tradition, according to the adage lex orandi, lex credendi, « the law of prayer is the law of belief », the artists represented the Virgin of the Immaculate Conception as we see Her here.

On 2 February 1849, Pius IX sent the encyclical Ubi Primum to all of the bishops in the world, asking them to express their opinion and that of their faithful regarding the Immaculate Conception. This Council in writing did not cause the Church any expense, but it procured her a treasure: the promulgation of the bull Ineffabililis Deus, wherein the Pope defined the dogma of the Immaculate Conception, on 8 December 1854.

Sister Lucy did not write her book on her own initiative, but was charged with the mission to teach. In the course of the Calls from the Message of Fatima she teaches everything that is lacking in the new catechesis, which is itself the fruit of the new evangelisation desired by John Paul II. There is no way to dispense with Fatima, with the “Message of Fatima”, « which, she writes, God chose to entrust to me for all men ».

In November 1970, the Abbé de Nantes noted three causes for the terrible disintegration of the Church: modernism, the complicity of the Pope and the bishops with the modernist sect, the lack of holiness in the Christian people. The Abbé de Nantes, therefore, did not content himself with merely criticising and accusing Pope John Paul II of having fallen under the censure of Saint Pius X.

Islamic terrorism, therefore, has invented nothing. The worst of it all is that the Vatican proves itself to be its active accomplice by claiming to be a defender « of the full and equal freedom of the three Abrahamic religions », Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Achille Cardinal Silvestrini by perfectly expressing the thought of John Paul II comes close to the thought of the author of the Koran!

It is a « happy encounter » in Heaven, that of two persons who loved one another with no other aim than to love God better, and who enter into the eternal today of their love. May the Virgin Mary hasten the hour of this happy encounter and re-form in Heaven all the families of our Phalangists, which are forever consecrated to Her Immaculate Heart!

The visions and apparitions with which the holy Jesuit was favoured at the beginning of the eighteenth century are a continuation of those at Paray-le-Monial and a confirmation of their veracity. Our Lord’s promise to St. Margaret Mary that « I shall reign in spite of My enemies » was certainly fulfilled in Spain.

Louis XVII’s return began humbly on the morning of 10 April 1975. Since then, the most pure, the most afflicted, and the most deserving of our kings of France awaits the acknowledgment of France in order to bring her the gracious divine pardon, and to pour out over her a profusion of graces, of which the most beautiful will be the return of the most Christian King, Christ’s lieutenant.
