Timely article.

The contents. would be shared by most, if not all, traditionally minded Catholics. What can be done about it? In terms of any direct intervention - probably very little in the short term apart from an active prayer life and recourse to the sacraments.

Saint John Paul II was once asked “Holy Father, why don't you renew the Church? He replied: I can't until the Virgin comes again". Then holding up his Rosary he said: "This is your weapon". Here we have an insight as to why the status quo remains unchanged, if Pope John Paul II was constrained in 1989, it logically follows so would his successor; Pope Benedict 16 for the same reason. The restoration hoped and prayed for by so many good catholic people must await the return of the Holy Virgin - Fatima; the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart and Garabandal; the Great Miracle - to be sent by God for the conversion of the World and with it the long awaited Consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

"On March 13, 2013, I sat in my office and watched my screen as a new pope — a man whom I had never seen before that moment — walked out onto the loggia of St. Peter’s Basilica. I had never heard of him. I did not even know his name. Like most Catholics, I had approached the papal conclave with a sense of hopeful anticipation. But the feeling that came over me when I saw the man the cardinals had elected was shockingly forceful. It was a feeling of icy cold dread. As I looked at him, standing there, staring out at the crowd, I heard seven words distinctly in my mind, unbidden: “This man is no friend of Tradition.”
It was a strange sentence. Oddly phrased. I knew, just as surely as one knows that the voice of someone speaking to them in a quiet room is not their own, that this was not my thought, but some sort of external prompting. It would have been impossible for me to even attempt such an assessment, since I knew literally nothing about the man, this Argentinian cardinal, Jorge Bergoglio".

Meantime we need not despair but rather hope in the Lord who in His own good time will intervene to rescue us. Saint Pio's recommendation: "Pray Hope and don't worry". I commend his instruction to all readers of this blog.
Pax.

Thanks Basto.
At the rate things are going there won't be any Ukraine left to convert, if there is, it's more likely to become part of the Russian Federation. I remember reading an article where Padre Pio was quoted as saying 'The conversion of Europe will be at the shedding of much blood' - an ominous prediction if ever there was one - hence my reference.
Fr Malachi Martin having read the Fatima Third Secret qualifies him as a credible authority.
