Someone was recently blacklisted from CMTV.

"Wow. I Just got blacklisted from the comments section at CMTV.
They have their "article" on Monsignor Hugh O'Flaherty. I simply stated "Mons. O'flaherty worked in the Holy Office (today's CDF) and he twice signed, under two popes, the condemnation of the text, devotions and images of the Divine Mercy." That is all I wrote. Those are facts, not opinions. That was enough to get be blacklisted. Incredible."
I can't find these docuмents in a search. Do you happen to have a link to them?
I've never cared for Faustina and she has many fanatics running around today.
Didn't mean to derail the topic. I have found that most neoCats have no use for facts, especially when those facts topple their sand castles.

Thank you. The TIA article by Fr. Perez was very good.
I'm looking though to read the actual Vatican docuмents. I'm assuming that the Acta (if I download it) is all in Latin? Doesn't help me. My rudimentary knowledge of Latin would not enable me to translate a docuмent.
Do you happen to know where the actual docuмents are in English?
It's actually in Italian and Latin.
The first condemnation is in Italiano.
The Second, in Latin.

You can copy paste it onto google translator. Here is the text in Italian.

(And here again, that was just the first condemnation)
Of course, "bad translation" is the pretext given as to why it was condemned. And magically pronounced as dogma by a Polish pope...
