URGENT: Romanian Greek Catholic Doctor’s speech to Synod! Members (all) get a serious talking to!
I saw this at Voice of the Family. You can find it other places too.
The entire Synod of Bishops (and the fancy people running it) received a marvelously cold slap in the face with the wet towel of real “reality” in a speech by a lay woman from Romania. She didn’t waste time or words, but laid right into them.
My emphases and comments:
The following intervention was made by Dr. Anca-Maria Cernea, President of the Association of Catholic Doctors of Bucharest (Romania), at the Ordinary Synod on the Family on Friday.Your Holiness, Synod Fathers, Brothers and Sisters, I represent the Association of Catholic Doctors from Bucharest.I am from the Romanian Greek Catholic Church.My father was a Christian political leader, who was imprisoned by the communists for 17 years. My parents were engaged to marry, but their wedding took place 17 years later.
My mother waited all those years for my father, although she didn’t even know if he was still alive. They have been heroically faithful to God and to their engagement.Their example shows that God’s grace can overcome terrible social circumstances and material poverty.We, as Catholic doctors, defending life and family, [that is, actually doingsomething] can see this is, first of all, a spiritual battle.Material poverty and consumerism are not the primary cause of the family crisis. [BAM!]The primary cause of the sexual and cultural revolution is ideological. [BIF!]Our Lady of Fatima has said that Russia’s errors would spread all over the world. [Do I hear an “Amen!”?]
It was first done under a violent form, classical Marxism, by killing tens of millions.Now it’s being done mostly by cultural Marxism. There is continuity from Lenin’s sex revolution, through Gramsci and the Frankfurt school, to the current-day gay-rights and gender ideology. [Naming names, too!]Classical Marxism pretended to redesign society, through violent take-over of property.Now the revolution goes deeper; it pretends to redefine family, sex identity and human nature.This ideology calls itself progressive. But it is nothing else than the ancient serpent’s offer, for man to take control, to replace God, to arrange salvation here, in this world.It’s an error of religious nature, it’s Gnosticism. [KA-POW!]
It’s the task of the shepherds to recognize it, and warn the flock against this danger.[OORAH! Is that what the Synod Fathers are doing? I’m just asking.]“Seek ye therefore first the Kingdom of God, and His justice, and all these things shall be added unto you.”The Church’s mission is to save souls. Evil, in this world, comes from sin. Not from income disparity or “climate change”. [Do I hear an “Amen!”?]The solution is: Evangelization. Conversion.Not an ever increasing government control. Not a world government. These are nowadays the main agents imposing cultural Marxism to our nations, under the form of population control, reproductive health, gay rights, gender education, and so on.What the world needs nowadays is not limitation of freedom, but real freedom, liberation from sin. Salvation.
Our Church was suppressed by the soviet occupation. But none of our 12 bishops betrayed their communion with the Holy Father. Our Church survived thanks to our bishops’ determination and example in resisting prisons and terror. [I guess they were culture warriors.]Our bishops asked the community not to follow the world. Not to cooperate with the communists. [Can we hand the Synod over to this gal? Please?]Now we need Rome to tell the world: “Repent of your sins and turn to God for the Kingdom of Heaven is near”. [Is this what you are hearing from your pastors these days? Or are you getting a bunch of half-mumbled, mealy-mouthed temporizing?]Not only us, the Catholic laity, but also many Christian Orthodox are anxiously praying for this Synod. Because, as they say, if the Catholic Church gives in to the spirit of this world, it is going to be very difficult for all the other Christians to resist it. [THWACK!]
Forward this to everyone.
God bless Dr. Cernea!
I have an imagine of some of the bishops, especially those from a certain country, blinking faster and faster as the speech goes on and, perhaps, pawing the ground with one of their feet while their hands work, aimlessly.

Owing to his connection with this Master and the other Apostles, he was enabled to write The Third Gospel, which Saint Jerome and Saint John Chrysostom describe as "The Gospel of Saint Paul".
Like The Doctor of The Gentiles (Saint Paul), he addresses himself to pagans to show them that Salvation is brought by Jesus to all men, without exception, who believe in Him. He is symbolically represented as an Ox, one of the four animals in the Vision of Ezechiel [Third Lesson of The First Nocturn at Matins], because, at the beginning of his Gospel, he mentions the Priesthood of Zacharias, and because the Ox was usually the victim in the sacrifices of The Old Law.
The Mass of Saint Luke, like that of Saint Mark, offers this particular, that its Gospel refers to the instructions given by The Saviour to His seventy-two Disciples, both these Evangelists (Luke and Mark) not having been Apostles, but only Disciples of Our Lord.
Saint Jerome relates that Saint Luke died in Achaia, Greece, at the age off eighty-four.

Adoro te devote, latens Deitas,
Quæ sub his figuris vere latitas;
Tibi se cor meum totum subjicit,
Quia te contemplans totum deficit.
Visus, tactus, gustus in te fallitur,
Sed auditu solo tuto creditur.
Credo quidquid dixit Dei Filius;
Nil hoc verbo veritátis verius.
O memoriale mortis Domini!
Panis vivus, vitam præstans homini!
Præsta meæ menti de te vívere,
Et te illi semper dulce sapere.
Pie Pelicane, Jesu Domine,
Me immundum munda tuo sanguine:
Cujus una stilla salvum facere
Totum mundum quit ab omni scelere.
Jesu, quem velatum nunc aspicio,
Oro, fiat illud quod tam sitio:
Ut te revelata cernens facie,
Visu sim beátus tuæ gloriæ.
Amen
I devoutly adore you, O hidden God,
Truly hidden beneath these appearances.
My whole heart submits to you,
And in contemplating you,
It surrenders itself completely.
Sight, touch, taste are all deceived
In their judgment of you,
But hearing suffices firmly to believe.
I believe all that the Son of God has spoken;
There is nothing truer than this word of truth.
O memorial of our Lord's death!
Living bread that gives life to man,
Grant my soul to live on you,
And always to savor your sweetness.
Lord Jesus, Good Pelican,
wash me clean with your blood,
One drop of which can free
the entire world of all its sins.
Jesus, whom now I see hidden,
I ask you to fulfill what I so desire:
That on seeing you face to face,
I may be happy in seeing your glory.
Amen
Amen

Fontevraud Abbey was Founded by the itinerant reforming Preacher, Robert of Arbrissel, who had just created a new Order, The Order of Fontevrault [Editor: Alternate name for Fontevraud.]. The first permanent structures were built between 1110 and 1119.
Eleanor of Brittany (1275 - 16 May 1342 ), daughter of John II of Brittany and Beatrice of England, was the sixteenth Abbess of the Double Fontevriste Priory at Amesbury, England. On her death, she bequeathed to Fontevraud Abbey The Gradual of Eleanor of Brittany. [Editor: Fontevriste is the adjectival name taken from Fontevraud.]

The Gradual had been given to Eleanor, the daughter of John II of Brittany, on her arrival at the Abbey of Fontevraud, in 1290 . There, she took her Vows. In 1304, she became the sixteenth Abbess of the Double Fontevriste Priory at Amesbury, England. She died on 16 May 1342, bequeathing her Gradual, which carried her Coat-of-Arms, to Fontevraud Abbey.
The Gradual was made in Paris in 1250, before Eleanor was born. It was possibly made in the studio of Nicolas Lombard, perhaps for Eleanor's parents, John II of Brittany and Beatrice of England (the second daughter of King Henry III of England). It would have been entrusted to their daughter in 1290, when she arrived at Fontevraud Abbey to take her Vows.
The Gradual is currently in the Public Library of Limoges, France. The Public cannot see it, but it is possible to browse online.

Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque, V.H.M. (French: Marguerite-Marie Alacoque) (1647-1690), was a French Roman Catholic Nun and Mystic, who promoted Devotion to The Sacred Heart of Jesus in its modern form. [Editor: The Order of The Visitation of Holy Mary (V.H.M.), or The Visitation Order, is a Roman Catholic Religious Order for Women. Members of The Order are also known as The Salesian Sisters, or, more commonly, as The Visitandines.]
Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque was born in 1647, in L'Hautecour, France, now part of the Commune of Verosvres, then in the Duchy of Burgundy, the only daughter of Claude Alacoque and Philiberte Lamyn, who had also several sons. From early childhood, Margaret was described as showing intense love for The Blessed Sacrament, and as preferring silence and Prayer to childhood play.
After her First Communion, at the age of nine, she practised, in secret, severe corporal mortification, until rheumatic fever confined her to bed for four years. At the end of this period, having made a Vow to The Blessed Virgin to Consecrate herself to Religious Life, she was instantly restored to perfect health. In recognition of this favour, she added the name "Mary" to her Baptismal name of "Margaret". According to her later account of her life, she had visions of Jesus Christ, which she thought were a normal part of human experience, and continued to practice austerity.

Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque lost her father at a young age, and the family's assets were held by a relative, who refused to hand them over, plunging her family into poverty. During this time, her only consolation was frequent visits to Pray before The Blessed Sacrament in the local Church. When she was seventeen, however, the family regained their fortune and her mother encouraged her to go out into society, in the hopes of her finding a suitable husband. Out of obedience, and believing that her childhood Vow was no longer binding, she began to accompany her brothers in the social events of her society, attending Dances and Balls.One night, however, she returned home, dressed in her finery, from a Ball for a Carnival, when she experienced a vision of Christ, scourged and bloody, in which He reproached her for her forgetfulness of Him, and of how His Heart was filled with love for her, due to her promise. As a result, she determined to fulfill her Vow, and entered, when almost twenty-four years of age, The Visitation Convent at Paray-le-Monial, on 25 May 1671, intending to become a Nun.
Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque was subjected to many trials to prove the genuineness of her vocation. She was "Admitted to Wearing The Religious Habit" on 25 August 1671, but was not allowed to make her "Religious Profession" on the same date of the following year, which would have been normal. Finally, she was admitted to "Profession" on 6 November 1672.

On 27 December 1673, The Feast of Saint John (Apostle and Evangelist), Saint Margaret Mary reported that Jesus permitted her to rest her head upon His Heart, and then disclosed to her The Wonders of His Love, telling her that He desired to make them known to all mankind and to diffuse The Treasures of His Goodness, and that He had chosen her for this work.
Initially, discouraged in her efforts to follow the instruction she had received in her visions, Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque was eventually able to convince her Superior, Mother de Saumaise, of the authenticity of her visions. She was unable, however, to convince a group of Theologians of the validity of her apparitions, nor was she any more successful with many of the Members of her own Community, and suffered greatly at their hands.

After Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque's death, the Devotion to The Sacred Heart was fostered by The Jesuits and was the subject of controversies within The Church. The practice was not officially recognised until seventy-five years later.
The discussion of Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque's own mission and qualities continued for years. All her actions, her revelations, her spiritual maxims, her teachings regarding the Devotion to The Sacred Heart, of which she was the chief exponent, as well as the Apostle, were subjected to the most severe and minute examination, and, finally, The Sacred Congregation of Rites passed a favourable vote on the Heroic Virtues of this "Servant of God".

In March 1824, Pope Leo XII pronounced her Venerable and, on 18 September 1864, Blessed Pope Pius IX declared her Blessed. When her tomb was Canonically opened in July 1830, two instantaneous cures were recorded to have taken place. Her incorrupt body rests above the Side Altar in The Chapel of The Apparitions, located at The Visitation Monastery in Paray-le-Monial, and many striking Blessings have been claimed by Pilgrims attracted there from all parts of the World.Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque was Canonised by Pope Benedict XV in 1920, and, in 1929, her Liturgical Commemoration was included in The General Roman Calendar for Celebration on the day of her death, 17 October.
In his 1928 Encyclical, Miserentissimus Redemptor, Pope Pius XI affirmed The Church's position, regarding the credibility of her visions of Jesus Christ, by speaking of Jesus as having "manifested Himself" to Saint Margaret Mary and having "promised her that all those who rendered this honour to His Heart would be endowed with an abundance of Heavenly Graces".

Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque's short Devotional Writing, La Devotion au Sacré-Coeur de Jesus (Devotion to The Sacred Heart of Jesus), was published posthumously by J. Croiset in 1698, and has been popular among Catholics."And He [Christ] showed me that it was His great desire of being loved by men, and of withdrawing them from the path of ruin, that made Him form the design of manifesting His Heart to men, with all the treasures of Love, of Mercy, of Grace, of Sanctification and Salvation, which it contains, in order that those who desire to render Him and procure Him all the honour and love possible, might themselves be abundantly enriched with those Divine Treasures, of which His Heart is the source." — from "Revelations of Our Lord to Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque".
In James Joyce's Short Story, "Eveline", part of his "Dubliners", a "coloured print of the promises made to Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque" is mentioned, as part of the decorations of an Irish home at the turn of the 20th-Century, testifying to Saint Margaret Mary's enduring popularity among Irish Catholics.

Margaret Mary Alacoque was born at Vérosvres, in the Diocese of Autun, France, in 1647. While still young, she Consecrated herself to Jesus Christ by a Vow of perpetual Virginity. At the age of twenty-three, she entered the Convent of The Visitation Order at Paray-le-Monial.
The Mysteries of The Sacred Heart were revealed to her in three special manifestations, all unknown to her Community. Saint Margaret Mary spent the last years of her life in spreading this Devotion. She died on 17 October 1690, at the age of forty-three years. Her body was buried under a slab, close to the grille in the Nuns' Chapel, on the spot where she was kneeling when Our Lord appeared to her.
She was Beatified by Pope Pius IX, in 1864, and Canonised by Pope Benedict XV on The Feast of The Ascension 1920. Pope Pius XI extended her Feast to the whole Church on 28 June 1929.
In order to live in the spirit of The Liturgy (which is also the spirit of The Church), and Consecrate The First Friday Of The Month to The Sacred Heart (as The Church does by granting Indulgences), let us adapt this Devotion to the different Feasts of The Cycle. It will thus give a greater variety, both in its material object (The Sacred Heart of Jesus born at Christmas, dying on Good Friday, rising again at Easter), and in its formal object, the love of Jesus in His Joyful, Sorrowful, and Glorious Mysteries.

Alma Redemptoris Mater (English: Loving Mother of Our Saviour) is a Marian Hymn,
written in Latin hexameter, and one of four Seasonal Liturgical Marian Antiphons
sung at the end of The Office of Compline (the other three Antiphons being
Ave Regina Cælorum, Regina Caeli and Salve Regina).
Hermannus Contractus (also called Herman the Cripple, 1013–1054) is said to have
composed the Hymn, based on the writings of Saints Fulgentius, Epiphanius and
Irenaeus of Lyon. Alma Redemptoris Mater is mentioned in "The Prioress's Tale",
one of Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. Formerly, it was recited at Compline only
from The First Sunday in Advent until The Feast of The Purification (2 February).
Diego Ortiz (1510 – 1570) was a Spanish composer and musicologist, in service to the
Spanish Viceroy of Naples, and, later, to King Philip II of Spain. Ortiz published influential
treatises on both instrumental and vocal performance.
