Coast to Coast??? Why??

I don't think there is any priest more ready willing and able to handle the firey
darts of the exrtaterrestrial-enthusiasts.  He has a lot of patience, and he
has a lot of experience in dealing with the Adversary.  

Coast to Coast has an enormous audience, some say it's the largest radio
audience in the world today, and it is a great honor to have a defender of
Our Lady of Fatima like Fr. Gruner get some air time.  You could look at this
as a kind of miracle, really.  Here we are with no Pope, and Fr. gets a
chance to field questions, probably mostly regarding the Third Secret, which
he will answer forthrightly, and use those answers to raise other questions
that are related, or, perhaps not so much obviously related.

Fatima Secrets
Thursday October 9, 2008

Catholic priest, Fr. Nicholas Gruner of the Fatima Center discussed his research into the Third Secret of Fatima. He declared the alleged visitation by the Virgin Mary in 1917, and her message imparted to three young children, to be "the definitive revelation of our time." Based on his research, he said that it is a misperception that the Virgin Mary bestowed three separate secrets. Instead, he claimed that the message is a sequential series of events with the infamous "third secret" being the conclusion. Detailing new information which suggests that the "official release" of the third secret by the Vatican in 2000 was actually incomplete, Gruner revealed that when Sister Lucia wrote down that portion of the prophecy, she divided it into two parts. "One is the words of 'Our Lady' and one is the vision," he said. According to him, the Catholic Church only released the description of the vision and not the words spoken by Mary. Gruner talked at length about the suspicious treatment of the longest living survivor of the Fatima visitation, Sister Lucia, who died in 2005, nearly 90 years after the event. He asserted that "no other nun in the history of the Church has been so closely controlled as to who she [was permitted to visit with]." As evidence of this, he pointed out that she was not allowed to conduct any public interviews after 1957. He also cited testimony from Lucia's own sister, who said that the famous nun was never allowed any private time with visitors and could only speak with close family members.

Advising people on what to do if they want the third secret to be truly revealed, Gruner said they should pray, inform themselves of the Fatima story, and contact the Vatican (via the Pope's email address: benedictxvi@vatican.va) to ask for them to release the complete message. He was optimistic that the third secret would be revealed in the not too distant future, theorizing it could be as early as a few months from now or as far out as three years.

Messages of Fatima
Date:    07-03-03
Host:    George Noory
Guests:    Father Nicholas Gruner, Tom Chase

Father Nicholas Gruner (fatima.org (1)), one of the Catholic Church's more controversial priests, was the main guest on Thursday night. A tireless advocate for devotion and interest in the messages delivered at Fatima in 1917, Gruner believes they hold the key to the fate of mankind. According to Father Gruner, the last surviving Fatima seer, Sister Lucia, was told a three-part secret in 1917 that she was to reveal over time. The first two parts were released in 1941, and included a vision of hell that was thought to refer to the first two world wars; and the second was a prediction that Russia would return to Christianity. The third secret was given out by the Vatican in 2000, and was said to be a vision of the assassination attempt against Pope John Paul II. However Father Gruner said this wasn't the real third secret. He believes it was a vision of a universal crisis for the whole Catholic Church. The "faith is in danger," he said, echoing the words of the late Father Malachi Martin. Alluding to parts of the church hierarchy being in collusion with a "nєω ωσrℓ∂ σr∂єr" or "one-world religion," Gruner painted a dire picture of humanity's enslavement along with a massive depopulation effort. And yet, he said if the "consecration" of Russia could be accomplished, as seen in the Fatima vision, this could instead bring in an era of peace.

Messages of Fatima

Controversial priest Father Nicholas Gruner (fatima.org (1)) was Barbara's guest on Sunday night. He commented at length about the messages that he believes the Blessed Virgin Mary delivered at Fatima in 1917.

I have a sedevacantist friend who claims that Father Gruner was invalidly ordained. Does anyone have any information on this. Was Father Gruner ordained in the New Right or the Old Rite and was the Bishop who ordained him Consecrated in the New Rite of the Old Rite. I know the SSPX treats him as a real priest. Does the CMRI, and do other groups who do not accept the New Rites of Ordination and Consecration to be valid accept him to be a validly ordained priest?

I heard once that someone knew a person who called himself Catholic, but acording to this person the last real Pope was from the 19th Century. I think I read it here or on FE.

I hope to listen to the replay. Even though I am out west, it is still too late for me.

It's just that this is the same audience that calls in to talk to mediums and ET contactees and all sorts of nonsense.

Sensible choices of categories of show-topics not to bother with.  Be sure to add crop-circles, numerology, NDE, and OBE

• to them.

I just don't want the Truth comingled amongst the drivel for entertainment/ratings purposes[.]

Altho' host George Noory and his fellow hosts are in the entertainment business, and choose guests accordingly, he handles his guests respectfully.  In interviews (of himself), he's insisted that it's his duty as host to let his guests speak, rather than cross-examine or argue with aspects of their presentations that he might consider literally incredible (a word he does use way too loosely) or even ridiculous.

Noory is also a cradle Catholic, albeit of the Maronite Church: an Eastern rite (which they claim to be) in communion with the Pope.  He's plainly become a New-Ager, but I've never heard him disparage the Catholic Church as an institution, except perhaps as warranted by the on-going sex & financial scandals.  Alas, I missed the October 9, 2008 "Fatima Secrets" show, but that having been in the final month before the presidential election, staying awake past 5 a.m. ET before a work-day wouldn't've been an option.

Fr. Malachi Martin would be an outstanding choice, had it not been for his suspicious death (July 27, 1999).  But even if he were still alive, he'd be 91 now.

So whom would you have Noory invite in his place?  I'd be happy to hear Bp. Williamson, but perhaps a radio broadcast to C-to-C's huge audience would seem to be a wee bit too brazen a provocation to Menzingen at this time?  Maybe Bp. Pivarunas of CMRI?  Would the TRADITIO Fathers be willing to abandon their anonymity?  U.S. Papal Nuncio Abp. Carlo Vigano, formerly, in effect, Novus Ordo mayor of Vatican City, exiled to the U.S.A. by Pope Benedict, could make for a very newsworthy show.

From the dark side, guests might've included Bp. Fellay, or Novus Ordo stars like Card. "Twee" Mahony, or the expatriate Overseer of the See of Baghdad-by-the-Bay: Card. Levada, or his fellow expatriate Abp. Raymond Burke, formerly of St. Louis.  Now that Timothy "What a card!" Dolan of N.Y. has been deposed (i.e.: given out-of-court testimony under oath to lawyers) 2 weeks ago, about his tenure as Abp. Weakland's successor in Milwaukee, I suspect he's been directed by his own lawyers to stifle himself.

We may never know who declined C-to-C. invitations.  But being a frequent listener, my experience suggests that the greater risk to Catholics is enduring Protestants getting on the air for a chance to do breathless run-on readings of Bible quotations at the captive audience, trying to advance antiCatholic arguments like those the evangelical-Baptist theologian Cris Putnam did in the antiCatholic book Petrus Romanus: The FINAL Pope is Here (coäuthored with Thomas Horn, 2012).

It worries me.

I disagree that it ought to.  Perhaps as passive listeners to a radio broadcast, instead of as active adversaries of traditional Catholics, some Novus Ordo "Catholics" will relax enough to actually listen, and be able to consider setting out on the path to Catholic tradition.

Does the CMRI, and do other groups who do not accept the New Rites of Ordination and Consecration to be valid accept him to be a validly ordained priest?

You could ask your sede friend if he thinks Padre Pio was a fraud, too.  Because
Fr. Gruner met Padre Pio in person, when the saint stopped in his tracks and
gave Fr. Gruner his blessing, telling him he would have a very important
apostolate to defend Our Lady, especially regarding the Fatima Message.  So
your sede friend would need to explain why Padre Pio did not tell him that he
ought to seek conditional re-ordination or whatever, just to be "sure."

Matto, my suggestion is get a new friend.

There are some intelligent folks here who manage to effect the results of good breeding and manners while remaining convinced sedes.  I appreciate their good will and patience even though I could not possibly more disagree with their conclusions.

But this old bugaboo that OTHER sedes ( like your friend ) flick from their nostrils at ordained priests of the Catholic Church is simply beyond the pale.

That's good advice!
