I just found this and I want everyone, including myself, to visit it as often as possible:
We, the Church militant, must proclaim the love of Christ to the world. While on earth Jesus prepared His Church by giving authority to His disciples and by setting Saint Peter as the Church's head. Most importantly, He gave The Church "The Great Commission": to baptize all nations in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost.
PERPETUAL ADORATION OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IN THE BLESSED SACRAMENT!
AUGUST 15 -- FEAST OF THE ASSUMPTION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY
Today we celebrate one of the oldest Christian feasts, the very fact that the the Blessed Virgin's body was taken into heaven to be united with her soul and to reign in heaven with her king, Jesus Christ.
In 1950 this was declared to be a DOGMA, a belief that is required of everyone. If you do not believe it you are outside of Christ's Body, the Catholic Church.
Your can read it here: Pius XII (1950 MUNIFICENTISSIMUS DEUS)
or your can hear it by watching this video:
WHO'S MORE POWERFUL, SATAN OR THE VIRGIN MARY?
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
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.
