The official tone of Newchurch was set in 1962, and it persists to this day:

...

Pessimistic Voices

In the daily exercise of Our pastoral office, it sometimes happens that We hear certain opinions which disturb Us—opinions expressed by people who, though fired with a commendable zeal for religion, are lacking in sufficient prudence and judgment in their evaluation of events. They can see nothing but calamity and disaster in the present state of the world. They say over and over that this modern age of ours, in comparison with past ages, is definitely deteriorating. One would think from their attitude that history, that great teacher of life, had taught them nothing. They seem to imagine that in the days of the earlier councils everything was as it should be so far as doctrine and morality and the Church's rightful liberty were concerned.

We feel that We must disagree with these prophets of doom, who are always forecasting worse disasters, as though the end of the world were at hand.

A Basis For Optimism

Present indications are that the human family is on the threshold of a new era. We must recognize here the hand of God, who, as the years roll by, is ever directing men's efforts, whether they realize it or not, towards the fulfillment of the inscrutable designs of His providence, wisely arranging everything, even adverse human fortune, for the Church's good.

The Right Way To Suppress Error

In these days, which mark the beginning of this Second Vatican Council, it is more obvious than ever before that the Lord's truth is indeed eternal. Human ideologies change. Successive generations give rise to varying errors, and these often vanish as quickly as they came, like mist before the sun.

The Church has always opposed these errors, and often condemned them with the utmost severity. Today, however, Christ's Bride prefers the balm of mercy to the arm of severity. She believes that, present needs are best served by explaining more fully the purport of her doctrines, rather than by publishing condemnations.

...

Any talk of "chastisement" is shunned, and the topic is swept under the rug.  

Newchurch wants Fatima dead, buried and forgotten.

No more condemnation of error, but instead "the balm of mercy."  BYW, mercy does not heal anything, when error is allowed to fester without opposition.

Folk are happy as they, thank you very much. Bergoglio shows his bleached humility and Obama sheds a tear or two; what wonderful guardians! How can disaster visit us when our leaders reveal such humanity? The gods would be so mean to chastise us for their own selfish ends!

The point is the errors and heresies have been ushered into society by leaders of established institutions, so they would hardly declare them as such and make reparation. For them the new moral order is the way forward and those that disagree can receive the opprobrium of the establishment, the human consensus and history. So what is to be done? Those passive among us can pray for the chastisement to come and come quickly; the active ones like Fr. Kramer can seemingly continue their futile gestures in the hope that one day someone in authority sees the light  ......  or shield themselves from daily perversities as best they can and provide for the worst to come.

The more affluent societies have decided that heaven is to be found on earth and there is only space for religion if it can give some spiritual gloss to their earthly complacency. They have learnt not to expect disaster in their back yards because magicians in office have all the answers. They can conjure wealth out of the sky and destroy distant enemies by pressing buttons. All we need in life is technology and clever economists. Followed by a painless drug-induced death.    



   

With all that is going on, it seems important for us to all hear Fr. Gruner's important discussion of the last interview that Sr. Lucia gave on Fatima before she was silenced by the Vatican.  This interview is called the Fr. Fuentes interview.

Here is the link to it:


Let us hear and heed it -- and pass it on!

I'll pass, but not pass it on.
