  • The true disciples of Jesus Christ shall carry on their shoulders the bloody standard of the Cross, the Crucifix in their right hand and the Rosary in their left, the sacred Names of Jesus and Mary in their hearts, and the modesty and mortification of Jesus Christ in their own behaviour.

    These are the great men who are to come; but Mary is the one who, by order of the Most High, shall fashion them for the purpose of extending His empire over that of the impious, the idolaters and the Mahometans.

    St. Louis de Montfort, True Devotion, n. 59.

  • Pope St. Leo the Great (400-461)
    "He that sees another in error, and endeavors not to correct it, testifies himself to be in error."

    Pope St. Felix III (†492)
    "Not to oppose error, is to approve it, and not to defend truth is to suppress it, and indeed to neglect to confound evil men, when we can do it, is no less a sin than to encourage them."

    Pope St. Pius V (1504-1572)
    "All the evils of the world are due to lukewarm Catholics."

    Pope Innocent III
    "Not to oppose erroneous Doctrine is to approve of it, and not to defend at all true Doctrine is to suppress it."

    St. Athanasius
    "God has promised to be like a wall of fire round those who rightly believe in Him."
    "Catholics who remain faithful to tradition even if they are reduced to but a handful, they are the True Church of Jesus Christ."
    "May God console you!...What saddens you...is the fact that others have occupied the churches by violence, while during this time you are on the outside. It is a fact that they have the premises, but you have the Apostolic Faith. They can occupy our churches, but they are outside the true Faith. You remain outside the places of worship, but the Faith dwells within you. Let us consider: What is more important, the place or the Faith? The true Faith, obviously. Who has lost and who has won in this struggle? The one who keeps the premises or the one who keeps the Faith?"

    St. Ambrose (340-397)
    "Even heretics appear to possess Christ, for none of them denies the name of Christ. Still, anyone who does not confess everything that pertains to Christ does in fact deny Christ."

    St. Thomas Cajetan, O.P. (1469-1534)
    Theologian and Cardinal
    He points out that the famous axiom "Ubi Petrus, ibi Ecclesia" (Where the Pope is, there is also the Church) holds true only when the Pope acts and behaves as the Pope, because Peter "is subject to the duties of the Office" otherwise, "neither is the Church in him, nor is he in the Church."

    Anne Catherine Emmerich (1774-1824)
    "The Church is the only one, the Roman Catholic! And if there were left upon earth but one Catholic, he would be the one, universal Church, the Catholic Church, the Church of Jesus Christ against which the gates of Hell shall never prevail."

    Cajetan wasn't canonized.

    Also, although Anne Emmerich is likely a real saint the writings handed down to us of her visions are wholly kabbalistic and heretical. Best to avoid quoting her supposed words.

    Nonsense.  While it's true that here visions were likely embellished by Brentano, your allegations of kabbalistic heresy are nonsense.

    There is a Saint Cajetan, who lived around the same time as Cardinal Thomas Cajetan, and the two are often confused.  Thomas Cajetan, alas, was a proto-Modernist with some terrible ideas.

  • "Dear little friends, this beautiful rosebud is for you; it is one of the beads of your Rosary, and it may seem to you to be such a tiny thing. But if you only knew how precious this bead is! This wonderful bud will open out into a gorgeous rose if you say your Hail Mary really well." - St. Louis de Montfort, the Secret of the Rosary
    "God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ" - St. Paul to the Galatians

  • "Mine are the heavens and mine is the earth. Mine are the nations, the just are mine, and mine the sinners. The angels are mine, and the Mother of God, and all things are mine; and God himself is mine and for me, because Christ is mine and all for me. What do you ask, then, and seek, my soul? Yours is all of this, and all is for you. Do not engage yourself in something less or pay heed to the crumbs that fall from your Father's table. Go forth and exult in your Glory! Hide yourself in it and rejoice, and you will obtain the supplications of your heart." - St. John of the Cross, Sayings of Light and Love
    "God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ" - St. Paul to the Galatians

  • Love is strong as death.” (Cant. viii. 6.) As no creature can resist death when the hour of dissolution arrives, so there is no difficulty which love, in a soul that loves God, does not overcome. When there is question of pleasing her beloved, love conquers all things: it conquers pains, losses, ignominies. ”Nihil tam durum quod non amoris igne vincatur.” This love made the martyrs, in the midst of torments, racks, and burning gridirons, rejoice, and thank God for enabling them to suffer for him: it made the other saints, when there was no tyrant to torment them, become, as it were, their own executioners, by fasts, disciplines, and penitential austerities. - St. Alphonsus María Liguori, Sermon for Trinity Sunday
    "God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ" - St. Paul to the Galatians
