Starting with several listener requests, S.R.M. asked “how to have hope today?” and J.D. asked “what’s the real Akita Message?” And yours truly is still scratching his head why a 60 year old news story is suddenly a headline in the AP newswire again…

News Story That was Out of Place: AP headline July 21, 2024: Vatican’s Pius XII archives shed light on another contentious chapter: The Legion of Christ scandal

The story covers the sudden restoration of Maciel from an investigation by Cardinal Ottaviani (the real Ottaviani Intervention) that was going to end Maciel’s drugs addiction, pedophilia, perverse mockery of the faith in the 1950’s. The article misses HOW, though: it was a cash stuffed envelope handed to the carmenlengo during the interregnum… bribery!

Other documents released this past week show a connection between Cardinal electors and the US Dpt of State… meaning something fishy is afoot. Worse, the Podesta email becomes relevant again (time for a Catholic “springtime” (CIA euphemism for color revolution/coup)).

On Akita, we draw parallels to Fatima (eucharistic catechism by an angel, messages from Our Lady, and miracles), and draw out the differences in time ==> Akita happened after the Japanese Bishops applied for and were granted an indult for Communion in the Hand… Obviously, Our Lady does not approve. Also highlighted is Bishop Ito, and some special purposes for which he founded the convent that highlight the need to end Communion in the hand.

How to have hope? The odd news, the traction of events that seem to be pointing to events imminent that will out the corruption. Maybe it can be extracted without the Fire from Heaven.

Meanwhile, nothing has been done to remedy this disrespect for and demonic attack upon the Blessed Sacrament, and it looks like the Eucharistic Revival isn’t helping at all.

Back in the 80’s and 90’s everyone in the American Church was fine criticizing the Holy Father… in fact, it was encouraged and nearly expected. Why is it different today?

All of it served with a healthy reminder to pray your rosary! It’s truly our best weapon in all of this, but more importantly, it appears things are coming to a head!
