She wore a crown of roses and a glowing crucifix.
But she was weeping uncontrollably.

What she told two children on a mountain would warn of famine, blasphemy, and judgment.

The Church approved it. Most Catholics have never heard it.

ORIGIN OF CHRISTIAN DENOMINATIONS

🤔 Martin Luther didn't like the Catholic Church and founded the Lutheran Church. (October 31, 1517)

🤔 John Calvin didn't like the Lutheran church and founded the Reformed or Calvinist church. (1530's)

🤔 Henry VIII didn't like being denied Catholic marriage and founded the Anglican Church. (1534)

🤔 John Smith disliked the Anglican Church and founded the Baptist Church. (1609)

🤔 William Miller didn't like the Baptist Church and founded the Adventist. (1842)

🤔 Ellen G White really liked what William Miller said and founded the Seventh Day Adventist Church. (May 21, 1863)

🤔 Charles T Russell didn't like the Adventist church and founded Jehovah's witnesses. (1872)

🤔 Joseph Smith disliked the Methodist Church and founded the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (the Mormons) (April 6, 1830)

🤔 John Wesley disliked the Anglican Church and founded the Methodist Church.(1738)

🤔 Some pastors didn't like the Methodist Church and founded the Pentecostal Church. (January 1, 1901)

🤔 Many did not like the Pentecostal Church and founded thousands of churches like, 'Stop Suffering, Assemblies of God, Light of The World', etc.

🤔 The Evangelical movement came from the Baptist Church, while the different ‘Born Again’ movement came from the Evangelical Churches.
The National Association of Evangelicals was formed in 1942.

🤔 The ‘BORN AGAIN’ faith emerged in the late 1930s from the US, and it gained popularity in the 1970s and 1980s, its golden age.

There are now 45,000 different so called Christian religions who claims their interpretation of the Bible is the right one.

🙏 REMINDER 🙏:

Before the Bible, the Church already existed.

The Bible is the fruit of the Church. Truth was not bound, it became Incarnate, truth is not an idea or a thing, or is tied to a book only, truth is a Person, Christ! The Second Person of the Holy Trinity, Head of the Church which is His Body, the Body that gave us the Bible.

The party who pushed out their voted on nominee for president, then installed their DEI candidate instead without a single primary vote from the people, are now trying to call the candidate who defeated her in all swing states, popular vote and electoral college a "king".

WHY would this be a problem??

[Dr. Henry Cloud @DrHenryCloud]

Love may stretch you—but it shouldn't wound you.
It shouldn't feel like walking on eggshells.
It shouldn't belittle you.
It shouldn't leave you second-guessing your worth.
It shouldn't hurt.
If family has become more a source of pain than a source of safety, it may be time to redefine the way your family loves.

“The Catholic Mass is unbiblical”

[ChurchPOP @Church_POP]

Want to send a video message to the newly elected Pope Leo XIV?

The parish software development company eCatholic recently launched a campaign inviting people to send video messages to the newly elected Pope Leo XIV.

“We invite you to record a short video message of congratulations to our new shepherd,” the website invitation says. “Whether you're part of a parish, school, or ministry, your voice is part of the church's story, and this is your chance to share a prayer or maybe a word of encouragement to our new Holy Father.”

eCatholic Marketing Director Michael Josephs spoke with ChurchPOP about this initiative. He explained why they decided to do this, the overwhelming response they have received, and how eCatholic plans to deliver the messages to the Holy Father.

“We wanted to do something meaningful—and a little creative—to mark the moment and celebrate with the universal Church,” Josephs said. “Pope Leo XIV’s election is a beautiful reminder that the Church is alive and growing in every corner of the world.”

Josephs said the initiative is “even more personal,” since Pope Leo XIV is from the United States.
“There is a sense of connection and pride that makes submitting a message feel even more personal,” he explained. “While the Church is universal, there’s something powerful about seeing the fruits of centuries of missionary work in America now reflected in the election of a pope from the U.S.”

The marketing director also explained how eCatholic plans to deliver the messages to the Holy Father.
He said they will create a “video montage” of the submissions and “share it with key Catholic media outlets and contacts in Rome.”

“We hope that it makes its way to Pope Leo XIV—or at the very least, that he sees the love and support pouring in from the faithful around the world,” Josephs adds. “Whether or not we get a direct response, we trust that these messages will be a source of encouragement as he begins his pontificate.”

“If you haven't submitted a message yet, there’s still time! We're keeping submissions open a little while longer as we work behind the scenes to share these with the Holy Father,” Josephs said.

“Whether it’s a quick prayer, a word of encouragement, or a heartfelt blessing, we invite Catholics everywhere to be part of this moment in Church history. It’s not every day we welcome a new pope, so let’s flood him with the love, support, and encouragement he deserves.”

Keep this post in your back pocket for when you face a big (or small) decision.

The Vatican has published a photo of the newly-elected Pope Leo XIV taken just outside the Pauline Chapel.

[Alessandro Gisotti @AGisotti]

The episcopal motto of Pope Leo XIV is “In Illo uno unum”, words pronounced by Saint Augustine in a sermon on Psalm 127 to explain that “although we Christians are many, in the one Christ we are one.”

[Vatican News @VaticanNews]

White smoke! The 133 Cardinal electors gathered in the Vatican’s Sistine Chapel have elected the new Pope. He will appear soon at the central window of St. Peter’s Basilica.
