WHO'S MORE POWERFUL, SATAN OR THE VIRGIN MARY?

I would like to have written this, but it is a very well put together article, so here's the link:
https://www.catholic.com/magazine/online-edition/is-satan-more-powerful-than-mary

From the article:

So this raises the question: who’s more powerful, the Virgin Mary in heaven or the devil in hell?Strangely, some Protestants seem to believe it’s Satan. Of course, this is rarely something that Protestant Christians consciously or explicitly profess, but consider some of the objections to Catholics praying to Mary. We’re told, for example, that Mary can’thear our prayers because she’s a finite creature, and so she can’t hear everyone’s prayers at once, and she can’t understand the different prayers uttered in different languages. Michael Hobart Seymour (1800-1874), an anti-Catholic polemicist, put the objection neatly:
It seems difficult to understand how she or any saint in heaven can know the wishes, the thoughts, the devotion, the prayers of the millions, who are praying to them in so many different parts of the world at the same time. If she or they were omnipresent—if omnipresent as the Godhead, all would be easy to conceive, all would be intelligible; but as they are no more than finite creatures in heaven, this cannot be.
We find the same argument used today. In A Woman Rides the Beast, for example, Dave Hunt objected to the line, “Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us” from the Salve Regina on the grounds that “Mary would have to be omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent (qualities of God alone) in order to extend mercy to all mankind.”
So Mary and the saints, being “finite creatures in heaven,” are too limited and weak to hear your prayers. Satan, on the other hand . . .

THE SADDEST DAY IN THE HISTORY OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN CANADA

I just found this post about the

Tragedy at Winnipeg: the Canadian Catholic Bishops’ Statement on Humanae Vitae”

From this article:

"Canada Before Humanae Vitae

The Church’s teaching against artificial contraception was constant and unchallenged from within until the early sixties of this century. "

Please pray for our shepherds!!

There has been some change in perspective, but as far as I know there has been no official renunciation of this horror.

LOVE AND TOLERANCE (Link)

Here's a link to a post that expresses what I often try to say in this secular society.

https://thesparkandtheflame.blogspot.com/2013/07/love-and-tolerance.html

From the above post:

" Hence love entails truth and truth always entails not only the recognition of what is, but what ought to be.  It may entail recognizing that a thing that is, should not be. "

 We have to recognize that there are things in our society that DO exist but should not exist.

Poverty exists.  Disease exists.  Pornography exists.  Rape exists. Gender disorder exists as does homosexuality.
These are some examples of things that exist that, out of Love, we ought not tolerate.

If our vocation is marriage then, out of Love and Truth, it's prime purpose is not 'romantic love' but rather procreation.
Same-sex attraction is a terrible cross to bear.  The people who give in to their disordered problem can never be married, no matter what a government may say.  Common sense, science, and logic show that they can never produce offspring.

As with so many people in difficult circumstances, they need our true love and prayers!
