  • A lot of people are hoping to survive this Covid time period, but I hope we can all receive the Last Rites like Donkath did. What a gift!

    I read a lot of her posts while a lurker and I'll keep her in my prayers :pray:
    I don't know where you live, but if you get sick with anything and you know you are struggling, don't wait to get Last Rites. The chances of you getting them if you have to go into a hospital in MANY places are drastically reduced to almost zero. If you happen to have a Priest that says you are "not sick enough?" Find another one! The Priests here were run off their feet making Last Rites visits underground, pre-emptively, begging to get into care facilities and hospitals, and all sorts of in-betweens such as house calls, etc. We got slammed with Covid--all ages were affected. Healthy, young, old, sick, never-been-sick, families, Priests. They also drove hours upon hours to say Mass quietly in every imaginable part of this country. They neglected nothing of their duties!!

    Anyone that gets sick with anything questionable now and needs medical attention (including an ambulance) better not take anything for granted. I could not even go in to see my own husband in the ER. That's my warning, take it or leave it. :pray:

    Especially since "managed [lack of] care" erupted from hell in the 90's, the "medical-industrial complex" has utterly destroyed health care. I believe the destruction is intended to augment depopulation by the usual war, pestilence, and famine.

    There remain some physicians loyal to their oaths. Unfortunately most med schools no longer require any oath. When I first heard this (about 10 years ago), only about 10% of grads were taking either the Hippocratic or Geneva Oath and that is reflected in the attitude of younger docs—venal, self-centered, and submissive careerists.

  • Does anyone have details of when she died, an online obituary?

    I want to place something in her signature line, post-humously.

    I've done that before with deceased members.
    Want to say "thank you"?

    I found this, which gives age, cause of death, and date of death:



    Requiem aeternam dona eis Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis. Requiescat in pace. Amen.


    In your charity, please pray for the soul of Mrs. Kathleen Donelly who passed away on December 29th from cancer at age 91.
    Some of you may recall that Mrs. Donelly ran the Cor Mariae website. Many of us remember her fighting spirit in the early days of the Resistance.

    Kathleen had a great love of the Faith and in these times of great confusion,
    we must pray very much for our fellow Catholics and remain humbly attached to the true Faith without compromise.

    May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace.  Amen.

  • :pray:  She was 91?  Somehow, I picture the “average” on CI to be in their 30s and 40s.
    May her soul RIP.

  • She died at 1am (Melbourne time) on 29th December, 2020.

    She was still a young woman at 91, a beautiful soul. I has no idea. :pray::pray::pray:

  • Yeah, if you go back through her posts, most of them are praying for others in the prayer requests subforum. That goes to show where her soul was. :incense:
    She always remembered that there was a human being behind every screen on this forum. That doesn't happen in a lot of places.

  • The below information is from one of her sons who exclaimed: "She was a real fighter that woman".

    She was diagnosed with bladder cancer in August and was doing well for a long time, but the last three weeks she became weaker and the pain became greater, but Deo Gratias, she received all the sacraments!

    He said that she was an amazing fighter for the faith, and a never ceasing voice for the pro-life movement.

    Requiesce in pace Kathleen.


    Here is her obituary:


    Kathleen Ann Donelly

    29th December 2021

    Wife of Norman Donelly.
    Mother of Allan, Rob, Geoff, Steve, Glenn, Greg and Peter.
