You'll find that many if not most traditional Catholics reject Faustina and her false mercy. The novus ordo folks really like Faustina, because they believe that they get the mercy without repentance, and going to confession is not something the novus ordo crowd likes to do.

The irony (especially because I think it has one of the best pieces for confession I have read). I know why many traditionalists reject it, guilty by association, which is why I would need a new thread to discuss it all, these are mostly just character assassinations instead of refuting what I said and thus not serious discussions, furthermore, I can tell whether someone is being honest or not by the criticism they use, as I know what's fabricated and what's not.

Furthermore, it's private revelation so one doesn't have to believe it, some day it'll be an interesting discussion to have and even if you still disagree you will at least understand it, but others bringing it up here is mostly just for character assassination IMO.

There are two things I have read regarding St Faustina's diary that have shaken me before... but there is something else that has greatly reaffirmed me, so there is some legitimate criticism, but I am certainly sure enough and there is a whole bunch of just bogus criticism. 

God Bless

I read most of Faustina's diary many years ago. I don't recall any great writing on confession. What is your understanding of why two popes condemned Faustina's diary?

It's not even about St Faustina's Diary... lets get real... it's about who we think are valid Popes and who we think are not.

In terms of the condemnations, as said, one of them was Pope John XXIII who launched and presided over Vatican II which we all agree was a serious problem, so I don't know what to make of them all, but there was certainly darkness and infiltration going on.

In any case, the USA Church Committee, assassination of JFK, RFK and more were all the same time period as Vatican II and they absolutely had a hand in all that, so this is bigger than just the Church, all the more reason why the USA Deep State needs to go down and the full truth come out.

That's not an answer. I asked about why two popes before Vatican ll condemned Faustina's diary. I don't see that it has anything to do with the validity of popes. They are all valid IMO. All the Popes during and after Vll were Modernists though. Do you agree that they were Modernists? JP2 was the worst of the bunch until Francis came along. 

Ganswein later admitted that Benedict's intention in issuing the Motu was in fact to lure Traditional Catholics back into the Conciliar Church.

Like I said though, Ganswein absolutely had that intention because he betrayed Pope Benedict XVI also, you cannot trust anything Ganswein told you.

Yes, please do start another thread so as not to continue to derail multiple other threads.

Yet before you start that new thread, perhaps it would be helpful for you to read this older and more comprehensive thread carefully (especially since you claim somehow to "know what's fabricated and what's not" -- by what means do you possess this knowledge?): https://www.cathinfo.com/crisis-in-the-church/investigation-of-the-divine-mercy-devotion/ 

Maybe you should read the thread before you accuse me of something I'm not guilty of.

  The title of THIS here thread happens to be: "Archbishop Viganò endorses Trump"

Please stay on topic. Take the DM/Faustina stuff elsewhere.

To be fair, it wasn't Josh who started the divine mercy subject. The new forum member oxenandaves started the subject, as a response to Josh putting the Faustina quote in his posts. I do hope that Josh will start a new thread on what seems to be his favorite subject.

Yes, in fairness that's true. But there's a defendable difference between, on one hand, oxenandaves citing josh's DM fandom in order to question josh's political arguments vs., on the other hand, josh taking oxen's skepticism as an irresistible prompt to go galloping on and on again here on this thread after his favorite subject indeed....
