This large fig tree in Curtain Fig Tree National Park is unique because the extensive aerial roots, that drop 15 metres to the forest floor, have formed a ‘curtain’. Starting from a seed dropped high in the canopy, this strangler fig grew vertical roots, which gradually became thicker and interwoven. Over hundreds of years these roots have strangled the host causing it to fall into a neighbouring tree-a stage unique to the development of this fig. Vertical fig roots then formed a curtain-like appearance and the host trees rotted away, leaving the freestanding fig tree. The tree is thought to be nearly 50 metres tall, with a trunk circuмference of 39 metres, and is estimated to be over 500 years old.

I actually could see the majority of our SSPX attendees going along with a conservative, latin Mass bishop.  Our pews are filled with refugees from the indult.  My personal opinion is that is the plan.  A melting together of all the clans.
Agreed

There has been video 3 hours long but you all say nothing.
Did you watch all 3 hours?  What is the summary?

I don't think it's traditional to separate the message from the recipient. Those claiming to receive messages from Heaven have always been heavily scrutinized. Why would a message about Tradition be delivered to a N.O. nun?

The La Salette apparition seems to be an exception to this rule.

The two seers had an apparently erratic life. They were not heretics, of course.

I suspect that +W uses these "messages" to help his Faith, in these trying times.  Some messages do bring consolation.  I don't fault him for that.  God can use even false messages to provide hope.

But the fault lies in promoting such to the general public.

Just to add one more point: normally the Church (and therefore the faithful) require a MIRACLE to prove that a message is from heaven. No miracle, no locution.

Even then, "miracles" can be simulated by the devil, and a "miracle" by itself does not guarantee any authenticity.  It's only the Church's judgment that can result in moral certainty, of at least "safety," of heeding the words of an alleged locution.  That's my issue with Bishop Williamson's use of alleged "Eucharistic miracles" to "prove" the potential validity of the NOM.  It would be childsplay for a demon to swap out a host with some human heart muscle (and then to keep it fresh) ... assuming that's even what those phenomena were in Poland, for instance, rather than some red mold.  #1 criterion of the Church in evaluating any private revelation or miracle is its theological orthodoxy.  Because the NOM Eucharistic Miracles give the impresion that the sacrilegeous bastardized Prot Liturgy can be not only valid but even pleasing to God (to confirm it with miracles), that would instantly rule them out on the basis of heterodoxy.  We don't derive our theology from private revelation, but judge private revelation on the basis of Catholic theology.

But that does not answer what those lights were.  Do you know?  You have many questions,  but no answers either.
Most heavenly bodies can't be seen in any detail with the human eye; they require a telescope.  Given the fact that there are (literally) 1000s and 1000s of low-earth-orbit satellites in the sky, it's hard to tell if something is a machine or a star.

Philosophically speaking, how can one believe that space is millions of miles away, yet still believe they can see space object with their own eyes?  It makes no sense.  (This isn't directed at you, personally).
