Baseball legend Babe Ruth was a Catholic who wrote this letter about Communion, Confession and the Miraculous Medal:
“In December, 1946, I was in French Hospital, New York, facing a serious operation. Paul Carey, one of my oldest and closest friends, was by my bed one night.
- They’re going to operate in the morning, Babe, Paul said. -Don’t you think you ought to put your house in order?
-I didn’t dodge the long, challenging look in his eyes. I knew what he meant. For the first time, I realized that death might strike me out. I nodded, and Paul got up, called in a chaplain, and I made a full confession.
-I’ll return in the morning and give you Holy Communion, the chaplain said, -But you don’t have to fast.
-I’ll fast, I said. I didn’t have even a drop of water.
-As I lay in bed that evening, I thought to myself what a comforting feeling to be free from fear and worries. I now could simply turn them over to God. Later on, my wife brought in a letter from a little kid in Jersey City.
‘Dear Babe,’ he wrote, ‘Everybody in the seventh grade class is pulling and praying for you. I am enclosing a medal, which if you wear will make you better. Your pal—Mike Quinlan. P.S. I know this will be your 61st homer. You’ll hit it.’
-I asked them to pin the Miraculous Medal to my pyjama coat. I’ve worn the medal constantly ever since. I’ll wear it to my grave.”
@FredSimonTLM What is worst is that the parish priest said in his homily that the dogma of the Assumption of Mary was MYTHOLOGY. This happened at the Church of the Assumption in Torrelavega, Spain, on August 15th.
@mellow63753@BreeSolstad What you’re saying is that God the Father created Jesus the Son.That’s a heresy called Arianism.God the Father & God the Son are one & the same.Jesus is “Consubstantial w/the Father.God from God,Light from Light,True God from True God,begotten not made,one in being w/the Father.”
@ChasRCurtis I wrote a book about the Church being infiltrated: INFILTRATION!
And what was the conclusion?
STAY WITH THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH AND WITH ROME!
That's the only solution. Sedevacantism and schism are grave errors.
So much of RadTrad and Ortho Bro twitter is puritanically searching for videos of Catholic masses that do not meet their standards, retweeting them, and saying "look at these sinners!"
This disgusting attitude might make them feel superior but it certainly destroys their soul.
