Although, knowing how to dress a moose could prove useful...

FWIW, an old woodsman once told me that moose hate to be dressed in synthetic fabrics, so...

With the climbing cost of cotton, it's good to note these things now. :rolleyes:

Every time I read this verse in the Apocalypse I see Mount St. Michaels: Apocalypse Chapter 12, 6; "And the women (Church) fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that there they may nourish her a thousand two hundred and sixty days."

Possibly, but that thousand two hundred and sixty days may represent time that has already elapsed, from 1969 or whenever CMRI began until now.

You do realize that the last fifty-odd years WAS a wilderness, right? There will be at least one more, at the time of Anti-Christ, but Vatican II will probably go down as the second-biggest of all time.

I will have to take a look at that chapter. I feel like the last couple chapters, starting with seventeen, are crystal-clear to me. That in itself may be an illusion. But I haven't had any inspiration to try to figure out the entire book. I didn't even ask to understand what I think I do about the later chapters, it just came to me.

Offhand, I think this thousand two hundred and sixty days is literal and this chapter is probably talking about the time of Anti-Christ. I don't think the Apocalypse is chronological, there are sections that give a general view of end-times events, and then others that "zoom in" for a more specific description of certain things. Not de fide, as you say, just my opinion...

I agree that there is something fateful about the CMRI having that church and about it being called Mt. St. Michael's. That's very clear. But there may be a reason behind this that you can't see, something you would never expect.

At any rate, Michael protects the Church in ways that are often not obvious to our limited intellects. I have had many experiences in my life where I thought life was one way, and then God said "No, it's actually this way." So while I won't call myself a prophet, and never had an ambition to be such, I've been given enough insights, through no merit of my own, to know that there is a plan being set in motion that is beyond our comprehension, that is spectacular in design. And it goes beyond our prejudices, our self-centered way of thinking.

For instance, as I hinted, it's already amazing enough that Mt. St. Michael's preserved the faith to the degree it did IN THE PAST. But you are expecting it to be a shining light in the future.

I just don't think America has much more gas left in the tank. The future is about Europe. But surprisingly, America -- despite basically being to blame for Vatican II, which is nothing less than the ʝʊdɛօ-Masonic beast that the Whore of Babylon which is America rides -- had the most thriving traditional movement, relatively speaking. One of the many ironies in God's plan, sort of like the Jews in the Old Testament being both the most cantankerous and rebellious people, yet also the chosen ones.

France has almost nothing in the way of sede priests, and they don't have one single sede bishop. They certainly have nothing that is even remotely as well-organized as CMRI. I will give credit where credit is due.

P.S. Myrna, I wasn't worrying that I'd take away your supernatural hope ( in salvation ). But when it comes to your temporal hopes, that is where I may be a downer.

My last two posts were a gentle version of what I tried to say earlier.

At my age, any temporal hopes for myself are fading quickly, :geezer: I have hope for my adult children and grandchildren, that they may be chosen by God to be His instruments. That is my only prayer. I do admire the spunk coming from yourself and people like GV that are determined to survive and hopefully carry on the Tradition of the Church.

Yes, I am expecting the Mount to be a shining light in the future. There are so many clues, the biggest one being there Charity toward other traditional Catholics and groups, not to mention their compassion and unwillingness to compromise.
