Title: Bad news for Cassini
Post by: cassini on August 23, 2025, 07:14:57 AM
Over the last two months i have been diagnosed with motor neurone disease 

Gradually all my muscles deteriorate until death. 

Already my arms and legs are losing their function.

If I disappear from CIF you will know what happened.

Will keep going as long as I can. 

Your friend Cassini.

Some inspiring words of Archbishop Lefebvre that I just stumbled across to comfort you:

There is the entire mystery of Christian civilization. There is that which is the root of Christian civilization: the comprehension of sacrifice in one’s life, in daily life, the understanding of Christian suffering, no longer considering suffering as an evil, as an unbearable sorrow, but sharing one’s sufferings and one’s sickness with the sufferings of Our Lord Jesus Christ, in looking upon His Cross, in assisting at the Holy Mass, which is the continuation of the Passion of Our Lord upon Calvary.

Once understood, suffering becomes a joy and a treasure because these sufferings, if united to those of Our Lord, if united to those of all the martyrs, of all Catholics, of all the faithful who suffer in this world, if united to the Cross of Our Lord, they then become an inexpressible treasure, a treasure unutterable, and achieve an extraordinary capacity for the conversion of other souls and the salvation of our own. Many holy souls, Christians, have even desired to suffer in order to unite themselves more closely to the Cross of Our Lord Jesus Christ. There you have Christian civilization...

Sorry to hear about your recent new challenge.  It seems when we hit our 70's God allows us to start our purgatory, and then in our 80's things intensify.
I guess we're given the opportunity to have the end (lessening purgatory) justify the means.
Will offer prayers for your perseverance.  :pray:

Dear Cassini,

Like so many others, I am much indebted to the great clarity of vision and some really profound insights you have shared in your very knowledgeable and dare I say inspiring posts on CathInfo.  I am especially indebted to your relatively little known -- it certainly deserves a much wider audience by placement on Amazon and elsewhere  -- yet highly riveting and informative The Earthmovers which I've striven to bring more notice to by my OP today at The Earthmovers - The Library - Catholic Info (https://www.cathinfo.com/the-library/the-earthmovers-77707/).  May that your severe health condition bring you by the grace of God closer to the love of Christ Crucified.  Know that you ARE in my prayers.  :pray:

Your friend in Christ,
Mat183

Dear Cassini, I only just discovered today a post of yours outlining the main points of your book. It was extremely helpful and I intend to study your book cover to cover. I love the title! May God bless you and keep you close to His Sacred Heart, may He give you the love and strength to bare this infliction - and if it be the will of God - that you discover a way of putting it into remission. The brain is an incredible thing. As your work proves!

In our prayers - will get a Mass said for you!

Go to the thread 'The Earthmovers' - a poster called Mat183 has posted information regarding the book and author. I've asked him where we can get hold of the book to purchase. History is my great love and its the first time in a long time I have come across an author so in tune with what really happened.

Dear friends on CIF, I am overwhelmed with the prayers and sympathies sent to me with regard to the days ahead. Needless to say I now understand and share Christ’s agony in the garden, asking the Father to help while knowing His will will be done. As a Catholic I can offer what is ahead for the salvation of other souls.Thank God for my faith. I can still type with one hand. 


I also read about the post regarding my book THE EARTHMOVERS, GALILEO'S REFORMATION. I have no doubt God asked this one time mink-farmer to correct that lie that all the Fathers were wrong in their moving-sun meaning of Scripture, and that popes in 1616, 1633 and 1664 were wrong in the Galileo case for 33 years. I am no scholar, never read a book before I was 50, and it was this book that inspired me to investigate the whole subject of the Galileo case. It was then God put me in contact with many people whose writings added to my task to find out how Satan fooled the world and popes that changed  how humans viewed the universe and how popes changed the supernatural Creation, the Holy Bible, and the supernatural to a secular view of origins. God then put a Catholic man of science in touch with me to show me the scientific truths that were abandoned by most. It was this U-turn on a formal heresy that led to modernism and the decline of supernatural Catholic faith on Earth for many and how the Church was led from a 100% supernatural Creation to a secular one based on delusionary ‘science’ billions of years ago. When I tried to tell the truth on Catholic forums I was banned very quickly. Only CIF allowed the truth be discussed and for that I am so grateful. I will end now and discuss TE on the other post. Meanwhile I will add all on CIF on my prayers.

YES Germia, my CIF name is after God's astronomer.

Cassini’s talent as a surveyor was also well known. In 1657 he was asked by Pope Alexander VII to resolve a dispute regarding the flow of the River Reno between Bologna and Ferrara that was causing flooding. For the next seven years Domenico Cassini was occupied with similar work around the Papal States, spending only a little of his time at astronomical studies.

While working for Alexander VII, Cassini sent a letter to the Jesuit Riccioli recommending the Immaculate Conception be celebrated as a special feast day. This happened 200 years later in 1854 when Pope Pius IX made it a dogma.

I will post a copy of his book translated into English in the library section for any interested.

Cassini I will be praying for you. Can I suggest that you pray the prayers of reparation to the Holy Face of Jesus? There is a promise that he will work miracles by his holy face. 2 such miracles have already been recorded by the Sisters of the Holy Face of Jesus In Ireland in recent years, through people making the prayers of reparation. One miracle was a person recovered from stage 4 cancer, and another was that someone recovered from a full body disability. You can find the prayers here: https://carmelitesholyface.com/prayers

The latest miracle was recorded in the sisters most recent newsletter and the other one was recorded in an older newsletter.

I'm sorry to hear that. Isn't there anything that can be done? I don't know anything about such conditions. There was a time not long ago I thought I wasn't long for this world. To tell u the truth, I didn't really sweat that because this world is very hostile to true Catholics, and my own family probably thinks I'm an extremist. I don't know because I don't talk to them much at this point.. too much water under the old bridge.

Anyway, I will pray for you. Have others pray also and who knows... I've heard of people recovering through prayer alone. I don't want to get your hopes up because it's just something I've read about.. never knew anyone who was actually cured that way (that I know of). 
Do you pray the rosary regularly...  Visit the Real Presence?

Thank you for your prayers. I am overwhelmed by all the prayers being said for me. If the good Lord wanted more prayers He knew how to get them. I say endless rosaries myself and dwell on the Agony in the Garden. I feel blessed with the faith that lets me know I can get to heaven to be with my late wife Liz again. I have received the Last Rights as my illness is 100% terminal.

MN IS A SLOW DISEASE. I was given a year but the progress of disability is unknown, it could be sooner or later. Legs and hands nearly numb now and will eventually stop being able to eat and breath. There will come a time I can no longer type even with one hand. When that happens I will get someone to let you know.
I am fortunate with 5 children, all good Catholics.
Meanwhile I will carry on as usual until that happens.
