“We must except the holy Virgin Mary, concerning whom I wish to raise no question when it touches the subject of sins, out of honour to the Lord; for from Him we know what abundance of grace for overcoming sin in every particular was conferred upon her who had the merit to conceive and bear Him who undoubtedly had no sin.”
On the day I was entrusted with the ministry of the Successor of Peter, exactly one year ago, the Church celebrated the Supplication to Our Lady of the Holy Rosary of #Pompeii. I therefore had to come here, to place my service under the protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary. #PastoralVisit https://t.co/uui9x3qPhh
@Templarpilled There are no videos of Spaniards destroying statues of Our Lady. The recent viral video features a Latin American woman. Evangelicalism is growing in Spain due to Latin American immigrants.
@BreeSolstad “The Virgin Mary is mystically contained in all the books of Sacred Scripture, and in all the Canticles; indeed, even in each verse, directly or indirectly, her Scriptural Conception is manifest.”
— St. Vincent Ferrer, Sermon on the Feast of the Conception of the Blessed Virgin
The most clearest example of papal supremacy is seen in the actions of Pope Vigilius. He deposed a bishop in the east with no appeal and no council. He deposed the bishop in the east for simply disobeying him.
This is Vatican 1.
In 1646, a powerful Dutch Protestant fleet of up to 19 warships sailed to conquer the Catholic Philippines. Facing them were just two old Spanish galleons, the Encarnación and Santo Rosario, crewed by brave Spaniards and Filipinos (many Kapampangans), heavily outnumbered and outgunned.
Instead of despairing, the defenders turned to Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary. They prayed the Rosary fervently on deck before and during the battle, entrusting their lives to her maternal protection and making a solemn vow to walk barefoot in thanksgiving to God through the Virgin if they were granted victory...
From March to October, they fought five major naval battles in Philippine waters. Against all odds, they emerged victorious each time. The Catholic forces lost only about 15 men total, while the Dutch suffered hundreds of casualties, with ships sunk and damaged. Many called their galleons “the ships of the miracle.”
After the final victory, the soldiers fulfilled their vow by walking barefoot in procession to thank the Blessed Virgin.
On April 9, 1662, the Archdiocese of Manila officially declared the victories miraculous, attributing them to the powerful intercession of Our Lady of the Rosary.
Our Lady of La Naval, pray for us!
Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, intercede for us!
Viva la Virgen de la Naval!
@TuiteroMartin@CasetaBosque No es lo mismo y lo sabes. Reparar el oleoducto de Druzhba al menos servirá para que Hungría deje de bloquear los 90 billones €.
“No amount of argument can overcome the evidence for the fact that apart from Rome there only exist national churches such as the Armenian or the Greek church, state churches such as the Russian or Anglican, or else sects founded by individuals such as the Lutherans, the Calvinists, the Irvingites, and so forth.
The Roman Catholic Church is the only church that is neither a national church, nor a state church, nor a sect founded by a man; it is the only church in the world which maintains and asserts the principle of universal social unity against individual egoism and national particularism; it is the only church which maintains and asserts the freedom of the spiritual power against the absolutism of the state; in a word, it is the only church against which the gates of Hades have not prevailed.”
Vladimir Soloviev, “The Russian Church and the Papacy” (1889)
