An Edict
By a Friend of Medjugorje
In 2014,
Pope Benedict XVI predicted, quote:
What did Pope Benedict mean by “GENDER IDEOLOGY?”
When you read the following
you will understand.
A deliberate attack on all Christendom was launched during the Easter season
and was birthed by the U.S. Bishops.
How?
By their apathy,
weakness,
silence,
and cowardice.
From the White House
President Biden
March 29, 2024, Good Friday
A Proclamation on Transgender Day of Visibility, 2024
On Transgender Day of Visibility, we honor the extraordinary courage and contributions of transgender Americans and reaffirm our Nation’s commitment to forming a more perfect Union — where all people are created equal and treated equally throughout their lives.
I am proud that my Administration has stood for justice from the start, working to ensure that the LGBTQI+ community can live openly, in safety, with dignity and respect. I am proud to have appointed transgender leaders to my Administration and to have ended the ban on transgender Americans serving openly in our military. I am proud to have signed historic Executive Orders that strengthen civil rights protections in housing, employment, health care, education, the justice system, and more. I am proud to have signed the Respect for Marriage Act into law, ensuring that every American can marry the person they love.
Transgender Americans are part of the fabric of our Nation. Whether serving their communities or in the military, raising families or running businesses, they help America thrive. They deserve, and are entitled to, the same rights and freedoms as every other American, including the most fundamental freedom to be their true selves. But extremists are proposing hundreds of hateful laws that target and terrify transgender kids and their families — silencing teachers; banning books; and even threatening parents, doctors, and nurses with prison for helping parents get care for their children. These bills attack our most basic American values: the freedom to be yourself, the freedom to make your own health care decisions, and even the right to raise your own child. It is no surprise that the bullying and discrimination that transgender Americans face is worsening our Nation’s mental health crisis, leading half of transgender youth to consider suicide in the past year. At the same time, an epidemic of violence against transgender women and girls, especially women and girls of color, continues to take too many lives. Let me be clear: All of these attacks are un-American and must end. No one should have to be brave just to be themselves.
At the same time, my Administration is working to stop the bullying and harassment of transgender children and their families. The Department of Justice has taken action to push back against extreme and un-American State laws targeting transgender youth and their families and the Department of Justice is partnering with law enforcement and community groups to combat hate and violence. My Administration is also providing dedicated emergency mental health support through our nationwide suicide and crisis lifeline — any LGBTQI+ young person in need can call “988” and press “3” to speak with a counselor trained to support them. We are making public services more accessible for transgender Americans, including with more inclusive passports and easier access to Social Security benefits. There is much more to do. I continue to call on the Congress to pass the Equality Act, to codify civil rights protections for all LGBTQI+ Americans.
Today, we send a message to all transgender Americans: You are loved. You are heard. You are understood. You belong. You are America, and my entire Administration and I have your back.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim March 31, 2024, as Transgender Day of Visibility. I call upon all Americans to join us in lifting up the lives and voices of transgender people throughout our Nation and to work toward eliminating violence and discrimination based on gender identity.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-ninth day of March, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-four, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-eighth.
JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR
Quote from a Friend of Medjugorje in the broadcast “Three Monkeys”:
“…what is coming out, just in these last days, is just shocking. It’s so bad that you don’t have the imagination to even understand where we are.”
It’s up to you, the people, to confront the shepherds who –
- see no evil,
- hear no evil,
- speak no evil.
Who is Going to Save the Church?
Archbishop Fulton Sheen stated:
“Not our bishops, not our priests and religious. It’s up to you, the people. You have the minds, the eyes, the ears to save the Church. Your mission is to see that your priests act like priests, your bishops act like bishops, and your religious act like religious.”
Ordering and spreading the “Three Monkeys” broadcast is your torch to ignite a purifying fire to change mentalities in the Church.
We, peasants in the pew, must speak with truth and clarity.
Cardinal Robert Sarah, former head of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, stated:
“The Church is dying because her pastors are afraid to speak in all truth and clarity. We are afraid of the media, afraid of public opinion, afraid of our own brethren! The good shepherd gives his life for his sheep.”
A Friend of Medjugorje states in the “Three Monkeys” broadcast:
“The bishops are non-confrontation. That’s been the sin of the bishops for a long time.”
Joe Biden Should Be Excommunicated
Cardinal Gerhard Müller, former head of the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, in a recent interview said that Joe Biden, being a “nominal” Catholic, should be excommunicated for his support of abortion. Müller stated:
“The word ‘abortion’ is too much a soft word. The reality is killing, murder of a living person… It is absolutely unacceptable that you can say you are a Catholic and promote and justify killing of human persons…”
The “Three Monkeys” broadcast explains absolutely that excommunication must be instituted.
Excommunication is a last chance effort to save a soul.
Cardinal Raymond Burke also has stated that Biden and other pro-abortion politicians should be excommunicated from the Catholic Church. He said:
“Such a person who claims to be a Catholic and yet promotes in such an open, obdurate, and aggressive way a crime like procured abortion, is in the state, at least, of apostasy. In other words, to do this is to draw away from Christ and to draw away from the Catholic faith. And so, the second action which needs to be considered (after confronting the individual and urging them to repent), is a canonical penalty, a sanction, for the crime of apostasy, which would be excommunication.”
The “Three Monkeys” broadcast lays out how excommunication can lead to salvation.
Biden’s actions and statements have automatically excommunicated himself. Bishops must officiate what Biden has already done.
Responding to Biden’s Proclamation, made public on Good Friday, to recognize Easter Day, March 31st, 2024, as ‘Transgender Visibility Day,” a great sacrilege against Good Friday, Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday, Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano issued the following statement:
“I ask my Brethren in the Episcopate and priests to recognize that Joe Biden has incurred latæ sententiæ excommunication, and as such must be expelled from the churches and not admitted to Communion. I call on Catholics and all Christians to pray that, on this solemn Easter Day, the Risen Lord will have mercy on the United States of America and put an end to the onslaught of the infernal forces unleashed today more than ever before.”
The Latin phrase “Latae Sententiae” usually refers to an automatic excommunication. The phrase means that the “Latae Sententiae” penalty is ipso facto (automatic) at the moment that the law is broken (contravened). For example, the moment a person is involved in an abortion, an automatic excommunication is imposed.
“Biden’s Proclamation in and of itself is so wicked but the fact that it was written on Good Friday, and released publicly on Holy Saturday for Easter Sunday is spitting in the face of God and His Son.”

Listen to and Spread the “Three Monkey’s” Broadcast by a Friend of Medjugorje. You will then understand why he states the following that has to be done:
The Church is Leaving Holy Wisdom and Embracing the god of Intellectualism
By a Friend of Medjugorje
An invasion of intellectualism has spread its tentacles through the whole Roman Catholic Church—its seminaries, its colleges, religious orders and on and on.
Example: A new document from the Vatican was released on April 8, 2024, named “Infinite Dignity.” At the press conference it was stated quote: “the main “novelty” of the document is the fruit of five years of work”!! It is a declaration about LGBT, poverty, dignity, etc. Five years of work for what a common sense peasant in the pew already knows. 20 Pages. Five Years!!! Wow! What a wonder!!! Jesus was never intellectual. Wisdom is brief and simple. The saints tell us Jesus couldn’t teach the Pharisees because they were indoctrinated.
The Vatican rolled this document out in a press conference saying first that abominables should be treated with dignity. Then he acknowledged that while the lifestyle is “intrinsically disordered,” this language was too strong. He blunted it in this new document, toning “intrinsically disordered” down and stating that it would be better said “that it is for a husband and wife to create life.” Wow! Really? That’s gonna really convert abominables.
No six-year-old changes their gender on their own without being led by adults.
As for the doctors, teachers and parents who manipulate children to accept and mutilate their bodies, what should the criminal punishment be for such a sin?
Jesus gave the death penalty.
You think not?
It is in the New Testament…in the Bible!
“It would be better for you if a millstone were hung around your neck, and you were thrown into the sea than for you to cause one of these little ones to stumble.” Luke 17:2
The death penalty/capital punishment.
It is clear.
These actions surpass the sins of Sodom and Gomorrah.
Bishops, you cannot refute this brief explanation that is penned and laid out.
Your silence is making you an accomplice.
Wisdom vs. Intellectualism
Five years!! We, the idiot peasants in the pew, need only 23 seconds to deal with the subject matter in the “Infinite Dignity” document. Yep. Just 23 seconds. That is how long it takes to recite the Ten Commandments.
1. I AM THE LORD THY GOD: THOU SHALT NOT HAVE STRANGE GODS BEFORE ME.
2. THOU SHALL NOT TAKE THE NAME OF THE LORD THY GOD IN VAIN.
3. REMEMBER TO KEEP HOLY THE LORD’S DAY.
4. HONOR THY FATHER AND THY MOTHER.
5. THOU SHALT NOT KILL.
6. THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT ADULTERY.
7. THOU SHALT NOT STEAL.
8. THOU SHALT NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS AGAINST THY NEIGHBOR.
9. THOU SHALT NOT COVET THY NEIGHBOR’S WIFE.
10. THOU SHALT NOT COVET THY NEIGHBOR’S GOODS.
First Commandment: You Shall Have no other gods besides me. They make themselves gods by changing God’s design. They change God’s natural law.
Fourth Commandment: Honor your father and mother. God was very clear. He didn’t say honor your father and your father. They rewrite God’s Commandments.
Fifth Commandment: The issue of trans surgeries is decided in the Fifth Commandment, You Shall Not Kill! You cannot kill parts of your body. They murder and kill any chance they have of pro-creating life the way God intended by living this lifestyle and changing their bodies. They murder the atom of society – that nucleus of the family as God intended.
Yep, intellectualism is a cancer and it is growing and it is sending souls to hell.
It is your Christian responsibility. Now that you know about these mandates, defend the truth and propagate this writing on mej.com and the broadcast, “Three Monkeys” that give the answer of what needs to be done.
I am telling you, all these things that are happening are not coming from the presidents.
They are not coming from Congress.
It is from the bishops.
Bishops have authority over everyone in their dioceses, both Christians and non-Christians, and thereby they can excommunicate anyone whose evil actions are worthy of excommunication.
A good shepherd has a good flock.
A bad shepherd has a flock that becomes sick if he is not moving them to good pastures.
Being weak, left behind, the wolf attacks the flock.”
Who Are the Peasants in the Pew?
They are those who pray, fast, sacrifice.
They do not consider themselves holy, yet they strive for holiness.
They love, they forgive, they are generous and are humble.
They know they are sinners.
They take care to examine their conscience at the end of each day.
We, the peasants in the pew,
Are millions,
We, the peasants in the pew,
Are fed up.
We, the peasants in the pew,
ARE RISING UP.
We are binding together as one
To confront you
Who are derelict in your duty of protecting the flock.
Bishops,
YOU SEE NO EVIL,
YOU SPEAK NO EVIL,
YOU HEAR NO EVIL.
We, the peasants in the pew, are calling to you:
Step forward
or
Step down.
You, peasants in the pew,
do not have to sit twiddling your fingers. You can do something to confront this attack on the Church and Christendom.
These bulk CDs of the “Three Monkeys” broadcast are being given to you below cost to help you, as your ammunition in this battle. The attack against Christendom is against you as an individual, and your family and friends.
This is a movement.
For too long we have been listless. This broadcast, “Three Monkeys,” gives you the ability to act. It is time to force a change in what the bishops are doing to us, by what they are not doing.

Below are comments from the Peasants in the Pew from across the world.
“I am a cradle Catholic although like some, I was not schooled in Catholic school beyond third grade. I was, however educated by my grandparents in the Catholic faith. There was never any hesitation, in telling us ‘young people,’ what was demanded, required or expected from us with regards to our moral behavior, in our Catholic faith. It came to Life in my teens…being in high school in the ‘60s
There was an Explosion of Freedom. If it makes you happy do it; It’s my body, no one can tell me what to do with it. Teachers hands were tied as far as discipline went and disposable marriages the norm rather than the rarity. Despite this onslaught of confusion our Catholic faith was our foundation. Our Strength. Our Security. Unchanged. WE WANT THIS BACK! The laws based on Our God-given 10 Commandments. One Nation Under God, Indivisible with Liberty and Justice for All.”
Fay Rome
“Thank you, Friend of Medjugorje! My husband and I have been wrestling with this for quite some time. Now more than ever, we have been seeing greater signs of complacency and indifference. When I recently asked a priest why we are not hearing more from the pulpit, in regard to moral issues, the pope’s opposite teachings and examples, etc., I was told that Pope Francis says that the homilies need to focus on the Gospel and bringing the people peace. Also, I was told that they have to be careful on how they approach moral matters. Why? They were not careful telling me the truth when I was being educated. Like it or not, the truth was told and morals were clearly defined. Your writing is with accuracy and aligns with what my husband and I have been seeing. With the complacency at hand, we are now dealing with a much bigger mess. Truth needs to be clearly revealed NOW. There is no reason to pacify the pope’s erroneous teachings (nor anyone else). Truth does not sway; it must be told with vigor! It must be followed by Biblical teachings, by the One True Doctrine of Faith! We pray for God’s mercy to be upon us and for many conversions to take place. We pray for our shepherds and for clarity in truth—for our eyes and ears to be opened, the fog removed leaving only the One True Faith! We pray for them to lead us on the path of righteousness via the Bible’s teachings. Our Lady reaffirms this in Her messages. As you have mentioned before that if Our Lady of Medjugorje is the last stop, we do not have time to evaluate it before the period of Grace is over and the critical nature of the messages are upon us. What will this hurt??? Obviously, there is so much evidence (even agreed by scientists, in regard to the supernatural involvement); there is so much love, peace and conversion. The enemy is at hand and we must carefully discern. However, by now, we can see that the enemy can not bring such peace and love as has been bestowed upon the people via Our Lady and Her messages in Medjugorje. If this is of God, it will not leave us; however, the time of Grace is upon us and will not be here forever. And so far, 40 years have remained. Let us not ignore Our Lord and Our Lady any further. We can plainly see that not acknowledging it for what it is has certainly kept our country from being a better place, not to mention the salvation of souls that could have transpired. Let us not wait any longer. May the Divine Intervention of Our Lord and Our Lady be upon us! God bless you all and thank you for your love and genuine commitment to Our Lord and Our Lady!”

“It is truly a shame that our bishops and Church did not educate their flock about their responsibility as Catholics to vote in accordance with Jesus’ teaching and Church teachings. A few in my extended family voted for Biden and I was unable to convince them otherwise because they had been indoctrinated by the media and untruths spoken in our culture. If the priests and bishops had done their job and guided the flock, many would have voted responsibly but silence gave permission to vote for Biden. And the silence continues to allow him to “act” like a Catholic, attend mass and receive Communion. He and the other people in high office should be excommunicated without hesitation. They are a disgrace to the Catholic faith. Thank God we have a Friend of Medjugorje to give all of us a voice and speak what we hold in our hearts. We must continue this message and share with all we know. We are so grateful to have our Holy Mother with us to teach us and guide us. Let us pray as She says for the shepherds. We need them to hear us and lead us. Thank you, Friend of Medjugorje and God bless you and the community.”

“While reading this and based on the ‘Friend of Medjugorje’s’ proclamation that he is not a highly educated man, It is inconceivable to not be aware that the Holy Spirit wrote these words through him. The eloquence of this statement is sublime (and long overdue).”

“My wife and I are very strong Conservatives and strong believers in the Catholic Church. We have followed the visionaries since the 90’s because of a Friend of Medjugorje.
“We were very disappointed with our Catholic bishops supporting President Biden, knowing how he feels about abortion and certain marriages. For Biden to want unity in America and killing 11,000 jobs on Day 1 was insane, un-American. He has already signed over 25 Executive Orders in two days. We pray for Biden to wake up before America destroys itself. May God have mercy on us. God bless a Friend of Medjugorje and Caritas. Stay strong.”

“It breaks my heart so much to know that there is now a President in the White House who hates the gift of God’s babies. I try to do as much as I can to help the little ones by praying for them, signing petitions and helping friends who want an abortion. I hate the word and would happily do what I could, in excess of what I have already done, if it were possible. If I lived in America it might be easier but where I live it is more difficult. I just know it breaks my heart now that Trump has left and the babies no longer have a champion. They have a killer in the White House now!”

“Beautifully written. Prayer and fasting, as requested by our Blessed Mother, will be our salvation if we only follow Her requests. I have been to Medjugorje twice, and have been blessed to have been present during two apparitions. Highlights of my life. This is the eleventh hour, and it is now or never for the conversion of souls. The bishops need to lead their flocks. We, the believers, will support them when they follow God’s Commandments. Do not be afraid. Lead by example. Many will follow.”

“Ever notice that those with the courage to give a STRONG homily—are the RETIRED PRIESTS, filling in for a pastor. They no longer fear the feedback of those upset by THE TRUTH! For some reason I have admired COURAGE! The courage of ‘Students for Life,’ a good example, whom I donate to and thank God for!! I have found that you need to Pray ‘ASK THE HOLY SPIRIT’ for the courage – to do God’s Will for you!!!”

“Right on. The Bishops should tell their sheep Joe Biden & Nancy Pelosi are excommunicated from the Catholic Church. In 1991, I visited Medjugorje and returned to Church after being away for 15 years. What is wrong with these bishops!!”

“Thank you for such a justified upbraiding. We should have taken these men to task years ago. Biden has just refunded International Planned Parenthood, and committed our tax dollars to pay for it. satan has surely taken over control of our country, but we both know that God is stronger than satan. Thank you for giving the bishops fodder to chew and I hope and pray that they accept this as positive feedback that they have earned. May God have mercy on them. Now I understand much better why our Churches are losing membership and financial support. May God bless you and the family of Caritas.”
Larry
Grand Rapids, Michigan
“If I were a bishop, I’d sure take another look at my actions (or inaction) and consider immediate changes. Well done and well expressed. Even I understood all of it. Our Lady must be happy with you as Her Apostle. Biden has now reversed President Trump’s protections against abortion and is making taxpayers pay the cost. God help us. I’ve set on Church boards several times, charged with the task of determining the cause of people leaving the Church and not contributing financially or morally toward the welfare of the Church. You’ve opened my eyes and I feel more prepared for the future if I’m ever asked to sit on a board again. God bless you, and the family of Caritas.”

“Thank you once again, and again, and yet again, for your inspired writings. ‘Way back about 1960 (when I spent a few years in a Catholic seminary) the prophetic word was making the rounds that ‘the time of the laity was upon us’ and the standard (deliberately innocuous) interpretation given was that the laity was then to be given more activity in ecclesiastical functions (this because at that day it was very true that most lay people left everything up to the clergy, even Catholic education of children). We all know about what the ever-present satanic influence did to this concept (for only one example, extraordinary ministers of the Eucharist); in fact, I have seen this concept in print in a church document as ‘extra ordinary ministers’ and I still see priests sitting down or standing behind the altar while others distribute the Eucharist. OK. We are where we are. But back to the prophetic word: I myself did not realize at the time that what was actually meant and prophetic was that the majority of the Catholic clergy would soon come to abdicate their responsibilities, and that Our Lady would be right there to fill up the gap by using the peons in the pews. It’s time to put my name and address on the line as being 120% behind this writing.”

“At Mass last weekend, the priest, who is traditional and one of two beautiful priests at our parish in Baton Rouge, read the ‘Prayer for Our Government’ written in 1791 by the first bishop in America, Bishop John Carroll, whose prayer to God was to endow the gifts of the Holy Spirit on our government and government leaders. Immediately following that prayer from Bishop John Carroll, the priest read a letter written by our Bishop of Baton Rouge to all Church parishes, reinforcing the use of face masks and social distancing!!! I exclaimed out loud ‘What a contrast!’ Where are our shepherds, O Lord?”

“An amazing piece. I learned so much from this writing. It saddened me when New York passed the late-term abortion law and the law makers stood and applauded with not retribution from the Church. Also, when California passed laws favorable to pedophiles with the Church remaining silent. All I could think of was Sodom and Gomorrah right here in our country.”
Janice
Odell, Illinois
“THANK YOU! I felt like getting up and cheering that someone finally said it as it is. I hope and pray that Our Lady cleans out the hierarchy… they are doing such a disservice to the flock. Their duplicity and ‘nuanced’ approach is sickening. So thank you for clearly stating the truth. May Our Lady and Our Lord bless you and keep you and give you peace, and give us wisdom and peace as we fight the good fight – without our bishops. THEY are the problem!!!”
K.M.
“I could not believe that our bishops had gone so low until a friend sent me this Facebook message from Bishop John Stowe this afternoon. I was sick at heart. To speak about My Biden as a noble and honorable man when he promotes abortion and [abominable] marriages, it’s hypocrisy!!! He goes against everything our Church believes! He promotes sin against the people, the Commandments, against God!! I am worried for our Church, for our nation, for the souls of our leaders!!!”
Vicki

“I just went to Confession on Saturday and I Confessed to our priest that I am currently helping my daughter. She has to live with me at the moment, but she brought her fiance because they had nowhere to live (they lost their jobs). I wanted to Confess my part in contributing to their mortal sin. The priest told me that it was OK because this is the culture! I asked, ‘But does GOD say this is ok?’ I totally see what AFOM is saying. I am so grateful that my mother visited Medjugorje years ago. I am new to this website and group, but I am learning so much. I plan to print this and give it to our bishop and priest. I printed the previous writings from AFOM and gave my priest the book They Fired the First Shot. I really hope he reads it.”

“The Friend of Medjugorje is wise in this writing about the Church and the bishops. We are all sinner’s and in need of repentance and forgiveness. I left the Roman Catholic Church right around the time the Blessed Virgin began appearing at Medjugorje for reasons I don’t care to divulge. Unfortunately, the bishops have bought into what the world has to offer rather than buying into the Word of God. I may be way off base when I say this, but I firmly believe that the reason none of the so called ‘Catholics’ who are in power in Washington D.C. is they are too powerful, and the bishops are afraid of losing their 501(c)(3) tax exempt status. All of us, no matter which religious denomination we belong to, need to focus on God and what an important role the Blessed Virgin Mary has played and continues to play in all of our lives. I pray that the bishop’s come to their senses and believe that the apparitions of the Blessed Virgin are real and that they allow those sitting in the pews to come to know God’s work in the world today. Blessings on your ministry.”

Palm Coast, Florida
“Wow! I am so happy to have read this. Finally, a dumb slap in our faces to wake us up. It is all our faults that we are asleep in the pews. Because we let our bishops and priests not speak of, or to get us all involved in the hardest of subjects. We all need courage to defend our God-given human rights to life and liberty. Have no fear because our God is always near. Thank you to Mary our Loving Mother.”
Vicki—Massachusetts
“WOW! This is AWESOME! Yes, I am copying and sending this to my local cardinal, former President Of the USCCB. Now is the time, backed by Our Lady through much, much prayer, penance, fasting and Her messages to show moral courage, No Matter What! Thank you, Caritas and Terry Colafrancesco, for your faithful witness and convictions in this our great time of need! Thank you for your witness and tirelessly getting out those Great Messages. I am now clinging to them like a life preserver and through the Holy Rosary am now beginning to find peace amid sooo much confusion. This question has been on my mind lately, given all this horrible news of evil seeming to prevail everywhere, even in Holy Mother the Church. What does a Faithful Catholic do, where do I go, when even some of my seemingly faithful Catholic friends and my family, too seem to just lay down, lick their wounds, roll over and say, Well, it’s ‘God’s Will.’ Let’s obey, put our mask on and go along to get along hoping and praying for better times. Our Lady’s messages say different, as does this writing. Thanks for giving this poor soul a sense of direction and sooo much peace and joy! I am not afraid of whatever the future holds because in the end, ‘Mary’s Immaculate Heart Will Triumph’ God’s Love to Caritas, Our Lady’s First Apostles”

“Blind to your wrong and deaf to the Holy Spirt it seems most shepherds seem to be . We all are on the via Dolorosa our Shepard Christ our Redeeming King went before us. As a lamb led to the slaughter. His example we are to follow. Three crosses on that hill our Savior with outstretched arms offered salvation to both. A free will choice to ask for forgiveness, one chooses wisely. Do we listen to the Truth revealed by the Holy Spirit? Do our bishops listen or are we being driven as sheep without shepherds into prediction by the devil and his minions? The Lion of Judah, Christ the Lamb of God will rule in His Glory. Our Queen and Mother is preparing His apostles for His return. May the Queen of Peace protect us with Her mantle.
Thank you, Caritas, for stepping up and out in all that you do. Viva Cristo Rey!”

“I sure hope all hear and listen and understand what you have been doing. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I ask God for forgiveness. For strength to do His will. For courage to remain faithful. May the Queen of Peace reign soon, thank you Sweet Mary our Mother, thank you God our Father, thank you Jesus our Friend and Brother, and thank you Holy Spirit and May You dwell in us all.
P.S. I love what you are doing! Blessing on you, thank you. Our Mother in Heaven and here on earth is so beautiful. I wish all to know Her, She loves and heals and helps everyone who ask. Thank you and thank Her and also the Father in Heaven for letting Her come and stay with us She is the best Teacher in the whole wide world. Love and thanks.”

“Another awesome writing, direct from your heart to the world. It is time for me to grow some backbone and confront the bishops over here. I did a timid contact with the local priest not wanting to offend out of respect about one to two years ago that failed miserably. If this writing and a CD of one or two of the broadcasts doesn’t wake them up, then I don’t know what will. I will include my favorite that woke me up – the 2018 Special World Report ‘Our Lady’s Here Because Of What Is Coming Out Of The Church,’ plus the one about Our Lady’s Apostles mission mentioned in this writing called ‘Fables, Bipolar, Church Leaders’ from February 2019. Thank you AFOM, may God bless you and your family plus all at Caritas of Birmingham. I too believe the Secrets aren’t too far away which will start to fix this big mess of a world. Thank you AFOM for listening to Our Lady’s call and creating these broadcasts and writings. I look forward to them every week and will miss them when Our Lady’s messages stop as assuming your mission may change then too.”
David—Gillieston Heights, Australia
“I believe that no one genuinely wants to make mistakes. Unfortunately, they happen for a variety of reasons. And at this point, admit the mistakes, repent, and move quickly and do the right thing, before it is too late. Follow Mary and Her Messages. If one is in an important position, forget your reputation. What’s more important your reputation or your eternal life? AFOM is extremely knowledgeable and has a deep understanding and insight into the messages. Maybe it’s time to take him up on his offer to visit Caritas. Please, move quickly time is running out. God Bless to All.”

“I too am perplexed that the Catholic Church does not openly relay the messages of Our Lady. Does it not believe them to be true? It seems not. I too believe if these messages were spread throughout the Churches of the world, true conversion would happen on a mammoth scale and so many more people will be saved.”
Michael Pater
Berwick, Victoria , Australia
“I support the recommendations and spiritual truths of this letter. These messages spoken by Our Blessed Mother are for everyone in our Church are critically important.

“I agree wholeheartedly with you. We have been waiting…and waiting….and waiting for good priests, bishops, cardinals and the pope to stand for truth and we have not received it. Woe to them who could have spoken, but did not speak, who could have saved others, but did not take one action to save. Whitewashed tombs and filled with dead mans bones!”
Jeanette A. Coury

“If all bishops stood together against the degradation and persecution of our Catholic faith that is happening not only in the secular world, but sadly also within our own Church, then many conversions would occur, and Catholics would once again have faith in their spiritual leaders.”

“THANK YOU, a Friend of Medjugorje, for this beautiful, necessary letter to our bishops. May they all read it prayerfully and take action. Our Lady has been waiting 40 years! May Jesus bless us all and help us to follow Blessed Mother with the Rosary in our hands. It’s not too late. May God give us all the grace we need. God bless.”

“Thank you for saying what no one else in the world will say. I’m proud to be part of a Friend of Medjugorje’s defining and leading the Medjugorje phenomenon for the entire world. Spread this. Start speaking up like a Friend of Medjugorje – tell your bishop and others that evil is evil and that stupid is stupid.”
Jason Terrell
Caritas, Alabama
“I wish our Churches were overflowing and people would come together in great numbers to pray. Rip off the masks, fill the pews, and keep the faith!!! We had one priest tell us to not come to Church if we are not wearing a mask. I love Church. I no longer feel comfortable there. I keep going.”

“Promise to fast more, pray more and stay true to my Lord by following the Ten Commandments. I pray for all our priests and all my brothers and sisters in Christ and especially those who do not believe and are causing havoc, those who are lukewarm in their faith and those who are not practicing Catholics. Thank you, our Dear Blessed Mother and Holy Trinity.”

Jodie Faltysek

“Thank you, a Friend of Medjugorje, for this much needed writing. I pray our bishops will read it all and act on it. I am so disgusted and disheartened by most of the leaders in the Church. I trust in our Lord Jesus Christ and I believe in the messages of our Blessed Mother. O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee. Crush the plans of satan under your heel. God bless all of you at Caritas.”

Jackie Ramnarong
Fort Wayne, Indiana
“Time and thought was given to this writing…a well written writing. As I was reading this, I was thinking of all the years of praying the 7-7-7 prayers for our bishops. They truly are blind in many ways. Blind in that they cannot see how we truly need them to lead us. Blind in how we have waited for them to take a lead for so long. Blind in their call. Blind in that their flocks wait to no avail, hoping beyond hope. AVAIL…do you realize the Latin meaning of that world…from Latin valere be strong, be of value. I guess that says it all. Thank you, a Fiend of Medjugorje for penning this. The Holy Spirit inspired you perfectly in showing their blindness.”

“I learned so much from your message. I applaud you for your words. I wish our priests would speak out against what is going on today: the late-term abortions in New York, the laws passed In California.”
Janice Hirsch

“Please bishops, sand up for the teachings of Our Lord Jesus Christ. I am no one, but I am everyone who is watching their beloved Catholic Church fall into ruin. We need you to shepherd us, His flock. We will stand with you in His Truth. You are under the protection of Our Lady’s Mantle. Be not afraid.”
Deb
Romeoville, Illinois
“Wow, if this writing doesn’t convict the bishops and priests of how their silence is misleading their flocks, I don’t know what will. Specially not calling out Biden, Pelosi, and the rest as poor Catholic examples for the country and the world. God bless you for always speaking the truth and not being afraid. My prayer group is always praying for our priests and bishops and the pope to know the Truth. I pray this works.”

Kathy Winner
Minster, Ohio
“WOW! Thank you for making everything crystal clear! You have not judged, but rather courageously rebuked our Church leaders. I pray that they will ask for the intercession of St. Romero, who abandoned his comfortable priesthood and became the voice of the people.
“If Jesus, the Son of God, was obedient to Mary and Joseph, who are we not to do the same, especially those who were given authority within the Church! So, I dare to say—not if, but when our Church leaders choose to run to Our Lady, Queen of Peace, She will multiply the graces, undo the knots, and usher in an era of peace! God bless us all!”

“For years I had questions about what some bishops were saying or not doing. This is evidence that my and others’ fears were not unfounded.

Sharon Allende
Fountain Valley, California
“Absolutely wonderful article and filled with truth. I am ashamed in front of non-Catholics to call our current politicians ‘Catholic.’ How outrageous! Shepherds need to lead their flock with powerful sermons and not get quiet at election time (orders from the bishops) because of fear of being ‘political.’ Life is the most important issue, period.”
Barbara Heagy
Milton, Delaware
“To the bishops, understand the time has come! You were chosen to shepherd His people, but you have become another Judas of our times. Mary called out to Judas in his day, but he would not listen, your actions of nonaction condemns you. You have not recognized the time of your visitation. Otherwise, you would have repented and turned from your wicked ways. St. Michael the Archangel said to lucifer, God be your Judge. So I, as a Friend of Medjugorje, say the same to you!”
Kathie Jackson
Tulsa, Oklahoma
“This writing so precisely summarized all my thoughts on this issue, much better than I could have ever done. Our bishops need to have courage and stand up! Of the 12 apostles, one was a traitor, ten were cowards (at least initially) and only one was courageous throughout. That is about the same ratio of our bishops today. Here is hoping those 10 out of 12 cowards find their courage!!”
Mike Albertone

“A powerful writing and message for all bishops and all clergy. You cannot be on the fence. You must pick the light or the darkness. By your silence you are making a decision for the darkness and taking others with you.”

“I am totally in agreement with the recent letter by a Friend of Medjugorje to the bishops in the USCCB. Thank you, Friend of Medjugorje, for expressing the courage of your convictions and for all you have done to spread Our Lady’s messages. May we all go forward as Mary’s apostles and carry on with the work She has entrusted to us, and continue to pray for our families, our communities and our nations, as She has requested.”

“How can I get information to talk to pastors about allowing Medjugorje information in Church?”
Geralyn Suhor

“I agree with everything a Friend of Medjugorje said. Those government officials who are Catholic and support abortion and abominable relationships should be excommunicated and denied the Eucharist.”
Pam Coulon
Gonzales, Louisiana
“Come Holy Spirit Come! We have been stopped even in a neutral space, from publicly distributing Our Lady’s Messages, gifts from our family, not from our parish. Our priest allowed us to have private conversations with others, but stopped any public distribution. Our bishop read and enjoyed reading They Fired the First Shot 2012. He mentioned that it contained Truth and was still on his bookshelf. But, the next time he visited, he wouldn’t accept any Medjugorje information, despite having visited Medjugorje personally while traveling in Europe and having recognized Truth coming from Medjugorje. We have had parishioners explain how we were not in line with Church teaching, only to have a random website with someone’s opinion condemning the entire movement as their evidence. Forty years is long enough. The fruits of Medjugorje stand for themselves. I don’t need to hear a priest give a homily on Medjugorje, I would just appreciate support to be able to tell people why/how Our Lady has impacted my life. To be able to share messages that have convicted me. To be able to share this Fire that was set ablaze after hearing Her words. A Fire of immeasurable compassion, empathy, and love for souls.. There are so many who are afraid to even hear about Our Lady’s words, because they are under the impression that they could somehow be tricked or deceived. Pope Francis has allowed official pilgrimages to Medjugorje. Dynamic Catholic is starting their first pilgrimage to Medjugorje. There are years worth of scientific proof available. What else do you need? Why not listen to Her words yourselves? Why not see what others are talking about? Why only read the reviews about Her without experiencing/judging Her yourself? So many people have, in love, tried to talk our family out of following Our Lady. They point out all of the good our family does for others, but how we have been led down a bad path. I patiently remind them that our family is who we are because of Our Lady. We have gone through and daily continue to go through conversion. We are called to be a reflection of Christ. We are a reflection of what we have learned from Our Lady, making us a better reflection of Her Son. Going to Confession is hard. Taking cold showers is hard. Ripping band-aids off is hard. But like the band-aid, there are things that are better to do without weighing out the consequences. Be Bold Bishops! Take a stand for your diocese; defend your flock; be clear about supporting Our Lady of Medjugorje! Our Lady said that there is still time. Seize the moment!
Michael Capelle
Caledonia, Mississippi
“I stand with Our Lady The Queen of Peace and the Friend of Medjugorje, our Blessed Mother has always been the catalyst and conduit for God’s plan. She, in great humility, said YES to bring our salvation the WORD her Son Our Lord Jesus Christ. She suffered His Death and Passion in full knowledge of Who Jesus is. Our Lord, out of great love sends His Mother again, and we ignore Her. Blessed Mother Mary spends Her time in Heaven in TEARS interceding on behalf of poor sinners, and we thank Her by rejecting Her Son, Her Spouse the Holy Spirit and the Will of God our Father. She spends Her Heaven in tears. I will pray more urgently, work harder to repent of my sins, I promise to incorporate nine days of fasting and other penance in great HOPE that our Shepherds do not delay further. May the Holy Spirit guide us and bless us to fulfill HIS will.”

“Yes! Please bishops, tend to your flock before they completely scatter! It is our Heavenly Mother’s time to be with us as never before. She has many cenacles gathered throughout the world, I am privileged to be there in prayer now for 28 years!

“Extraordinary piece. I was happy to see that the bishops responded by criticizing Biden, but until they act it’s only words. The bishops unfortunately aren’t the only ones that are guilty. So is the head of the Catholic Church, our pope. May God hear the prayers of the faithful and may Our Lady continue to help us.”
Linda
Joliet, Illinois
“Thank you for always speaking the truth. Our nation is certainly in a very bad spot as most Catholics believe what is “preached” to them instead of what is Divinely inspired in them as truth. It is a sad day for our nation that we have to endure Joe Biden’s presidency and all the harm that it will bring, but with your voice out there we will have a beacon of light to follow. May God bless you and everyone at Caritas for putting your lives on notice for all of us.”
L.G.

Yes, the Church hierarchy has failed us. With the prophesies from Fatima and with Medjugorje. I see a revival in other Christian denominations, but not here in our Catholic Church. Our flock lacks leadership. As Mother Mary continues to tell us pray, pray, pray.”
Tom
Belmont, NH
We have followed Our Lady’s Messages from the beginning and have presented ourselves in Medjugorje. With a strong and fervent belief in Her Messages our lives have been changed. We, too, are disgusted and dismayed at the lack of leadership from our Bishops and Cardinals. Our fervent, daily prayer is for the conversion of hearts, salvation of souls, and an end to the lukewarmness which exists in our Church and its members. May god have Mercy on us and our country!

Dear A Friend of Medjugorje,
“This is a must read for all the bishops with little time that is left and that they may change their course of direction to allow Our Lady to help bring about many souls to conversions. Your conviction and the truth of this writing should be an eye-opener for majority of the bishops who needs to be spiritually awaken. We, the sheep in the pews, are demanding for a change to remove all darkness and false conflicting actions by your inactions and by our sinful ways we have allowed darkness to infiltrate the Church. We continue to pray for you in hopes you heed the warnings. We are all sinners, no judgment, but only pleas, for many souls are at stake. Let Our Lady guide us all!
“Thank you, A Friend of Medjugorje (Community of Caritas and Birmingham), for living Our Lady’s messages and helping us all along the way to strive to live and imitate into our way of living. We love Our Lady and Mother and give ourselves under Her care to be Her extended hands. Glory and thanks be to God in this time of Grace by Her presence and guidance. Thank you, Blessed Mother, for guiding us for 40 years! May God bless us all!”
With Love and Prayers,
C.C. of Texas
“God bless you Friend of Medjugorje and the Community of Caritas. Tirelessly, you work, pray unceasingly, and strictly fast according to Our Lady’s instructions. Our shepherds’ fasts are a joke in comparison. I am so grateful and thankful for your presence in my life. O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to You. I surrender myself and my will to Jesus, my Lord & Savior. I have much to atone for but with God’s guidance, the Sacrament of Reconciliation, and the Eucharist, I will be armed with the resolve to follow Our Blessed Lady’s Messages and follow her instructions.”
Thank You so Much,

“No, we are not to judge, but we can be fruit inspectors! Thanks Friend of Medjugorje for doing just that. Heard on Truth Broadcasting—they have 10 radio stations in these states: NC, Utah, Iowa, Virginia. Contact them and ask them to read this letter over the air. I did. So many Catholics RINOS on all levels of government profane our faith to our embarrassment. We’ll be doing another nine-day bread and water fast and three-hour Eucharistic Adoration. I had the grace of three hours of prayer today, but this is not always the case.”

“Extraordinary!!! Brave and clear as it is will print it and go to my Bishop to give him a copy. If he does not speak English will offer him to translate in any form that would be needed. We must stop being cowards and letting our shepherds to be so!!! This false pandemic is taking so many out of discernment and Our Lady´s messages are needed more than ever to convict and convert. Thanks a lot to a Friend of Medjugorje for this writing.”

“Thank you, Friend of Medjugorje. It needed to be said. Unfortunately, they won’t even bat an eye!

Peace to all here.”

“Our Lady, definitely, spoke of politics at Fatima, she said consecrate Russia to her Immaculate Heart. First Fridays. First Saturdays. Our Lady obviously is political. And yes, Our Lady is a Trump supporter. If these people say otherwise it is because they are drinking fluoride in the water. They might not be red pilled. Q is totally Christian. I believe the Mother of God is on the side of Trump. It’s obvious if you have heard of the Weiner laptop that God, Himself, has stopped the evil one from the HRC third Obama administration. It’s so plain that the Left is deceived.”

“As I have mentioned before: ‘I’m worried about my judgement day for transgressions that I was not aware are sins. How much more the Bishops should be worried, they have received all the teachings of Jesus!! Those of whom much is given, much is expected.” I hope that this writing is sent to ALL the bishops in the USA. They have failed us miserably. May God have mercy on them. I will print this out and send to my bishop and it will probably be read by a subordinate and then thrown away. I might believe them when they divest of all their trappings, especially certain cardinals of which I am thinking. No more platitudes, DO SOMETHING CONCRETE. Stop pillorying our beloved priests who do speak out!! Excommunicate James Martin also, he is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Many more also! I could say more, but I would just get ‘worked up’ all the more, and AFOM says it much better than me. May Jesus have mercy on us! Our Lady Queen of Peace, pray for us.”

“I just sent this text message to several friends: WOW! A Friend of Medjugorje wrote and released a letter to the bishops this morning. Someone in the comment section mentioned this podcast of February 2, 2019! I just finished listening. Remember St. Francis thought he was to rebuild the physical Church and then he realized that it was the internal Church that needed rescuing?! My thoughts after reading AFOM’s letter and listening to this podcast gives me the sense that it is not a coincidence that we have a Francis in the Church that is attempting to dismantle the teachings of the Catholic Church. Our Lady is here to help us to renew the Church and She is using AFOM, as a NEW Francis to counteract the destruction in order to help Her reach Her apostles; Apostles Of the End Times to renew the Church!!! What do you all think?”
M.S.
Paso Robles, California
“Dear Friend of Medjugorje, you have given us an example of standing up for your convictions, and yet respectfully, not judgingly. May we all be able to stand up without fear. Lord, the next time I am faced with danger for Your sake, let me remember that You are faithful to reward Your people, no matter how much I may fear. Amen! Isn’t that the definition of courage! ‘God’s Word….is the…Light of common sense.’ (December 2, 2007) ‘And the one on whom seed was sown on good soil, this is the man who hears the word and understands it; who indeed bears fruit and brings forth, some a hundredfold, some sixty, and some thirty.’ (Matthew 13:23) Medjugorje, Caritas of Alabama is holy ground, I believe!! ‘…this time is my time…’ (January 25, 1997) Thank you Heavenly Father for the many gifts of Graces through Your Son and His beautiful Mother.”

“Of the original 12 bishops—the 12 apostles—which one did not suffer martyrdom? Of the original 12 bishops—the 12 apostles—which one stood at the foot of the Cross with Our Sorrowful Mother—Our Lady, knowing that at any minute he might be arrested and crucified with Our Lord? The answer to both questions is St. John. Ten apostles ran away in fear, one ran out and hanged himself. Stand with Our Lady at the foot of the Cross! AFTER Pentecost, the 12 bishops boldly proclaimed the Gospel, and later 11 suffered martyrdom. Bishops, do not wait until after the Warning to boldly proclaim Our Lady of Medjugorje.”

“Thank you, thank you, thank you! You have called a Spade a Spade and rightfully so! I will continue to pray for the bishops that they will be moved to action by the Holy Spirit as you have been all these years! Biden & Pelosi MUST be excommunicated! So many in the pews see this, yet the Bishops refuse to use the power given to them by Almighty God! I pray they heed this message! YOU, and a few holy priests, are what has kept me faithful to the Catholic faith all these years! I have longed for the Church of my youth, and a world where morality and truth within the Church were what convicted sinners. When we lost that, we lost the ability to see our own sins. Bishops included! God has given his Mother to us and She has given You to us! God Bless you, your family and the Community of Caritas!”

“WILL THE BISHOPS EVEN HAVE THE BACKBONE TO READ THIS THROUGH??? Perhaps it could be read to them in the Confessional…Thank you AFOM for writing the words on many, many peoples’ minds.

Lorraine

“My heart has been so very heavy for so long as I have watched the downfall of the Church and I feel like a prisoner for my strong warrior feelings for Our Lady. I thank you so much for standing up to the Bishops for their retreatment to safeness!! I keep thinking about how did the people, who were in the crowds shouting Crucify Him on Friday and waving their palm branches the Sunday before, feel as the veils of hatred were lifted and they finally realized what they had done. We are right back there!! May God protect us to do what is needed to save souls.”

“Amen…..that says it all.”
Dianne—Pennsylvania
“Amen! Perfectly explained. Spot on with the explanation of bishops and priests (our shepherds) regarding their tepidness toward Medjugorje and their political correctness; you have described the anger of all believers perfectly. I have always felt conflicted about having negative thoughts of someone holy, because we are taught it is a sin to say anything bad about a priest, pope or bishop. However, it is hard not to when they do not follow the Commandments themselves or make excuses (in my opinion) for those who would help them with power or image. I agree, Biden and Pelosi should be excommunicated until they repent for their vile words and actions. Thank you!”

“God bless you and the Blessed Mother of Jesus. I look forward to your readings always. I wish I could make a trip to Medjugorje, but it will only be in my prayers. Please keep praying for all of us. Thank you!”
Susanne
Philadelphia, PA
“Thank you for your leadership in addressing our Shepherds. I wholeheartedly agree. Most of them have missed the time of their visitation. As a governing body, they have utterly failed us and firmly placed us in the cattle cars of the anti-human, antichrist globalist agenda, with which Biden is absolutely tied. The Red Dragon of communism has spread its errors over the whole world and is preparing to enslave us physically in addition to the spiritual enslavement of confused Catechesis (ie, “socialist justice”) we have been enduring so long under the USCCB. Keep fighting. I unite my prayers and longings to yours.”

“Praying for the bishops to see the injustice they are doing to all the people they are to be leading to their Eternal Home. I have often felt if it is alright for these, so called, Catholic leaders when they do not speak out against the blasphemy of Biden, Pelosi and others receiving the most Holy Sacrament. It should be justified then that anyone of other faiths can receive the Eucharist as well.”
Barbara Wilson

“I am tired of listening to sermons that have no meat every week but when are we going to hear what we need to hear regarding how to live our faith in this dark time. Why are we praying for the vaccine during the prayers after the Creed? Why is it ok for people to be maskless at the Latin Mass and receive on the tongue but not ok during the Ordus Novo Mass? Why has the Church never outwardly thanked President Trump but in my Church’s bulletin asking to pray for President Elect Biden? Really? I decided after USBBC congratulated Biden as president elect, I wrote my bishop and told him take me off the mailing list for Annual Bishop’s Appeal…I am done giving to the Church that is not serving the needs of the people. I had a conversion experience with Our Lady of Medjugorje and credit Her for leading me to Her Son Jesus. I was a cradle born Catholic, but I’ve learned more from a Friend of Medjugorje than my own parish priest. I am proud to say I am an apostle of Our Lady and will be a Child of Light.”

“WOW! I feel so blessed to have gone to Medjugorje with Caritas and been a part of something so profound! I will always remember how a Friend of Medjugorje stressed to the pilgrims to use every minute wisely. While reading this writing, my heart was on fire with conviction. I wanted to shout out to the whole world how real Medjugorje is (Mary’s Israel)!! Your words are so convicting and so full of Truth! Thank you for being so courageous to stand up and speak the TRUTH! WE, the peasants in the pew, needed to hear these words! Praying for our bishops to awaken and be courageous! Thank you again, a Friend of Medjugorje, for an OUTSTANDING ‘A+++’ writing! AMEN!”

“I totally agree with this writing by a Friend of Medjugorje, especially the part about standing up against the policies promoting abortion and I totally agree with this writing by a Friend of Medjugorje, especially the part about standing up against the policies promoting abortion and abominable marriage and socialism and condemning the policies of Joe Biden and others. We need our leaders to lead!”

My trusted friend, bishops won’t defend our church. Good priests are left all alone. I have written my bishop about this subject and no results, also to defend HOLY SUNDAYs. WHAT has happened to our church? Afraid of law suits, shame, a scandal to our church. As always, as our MOTHER SAYS AND CARITAS, AND WITNESS EVERY DAY IS TO PRAY FOR THEIR SOULS AND PHYSICALLY HELP THEM. After hearing “A Bishop Gets Slapped in the Face”, I will email Tucker Carlson, Glenn Beck and others. ALWAYS IN OUR HEARTS, John

Thank you for always standing for the truth and exposing the darkness of this world. I will keep on spreading the message. Our lady is using you as an example for other men to have the courage and the gut to stand and defend what is from God and reject what is not from God.
I thank you for putting a smile on Our a lady face. May Her Holy Mantle always protect you and guide you.
So many wonderful comments maybe FOM should print them and send those comments to all 50 states Bishops and let them know how we feel.
Calling all Catholics Arizona Supreme Court
has ruled abortion illegal. As Catholics, we need to help support them and send a letter to the Arizona Bishop and let him tell his Priests that any Catholic that votes in favor of Planned Parenthood’s, planned opposition to change abortion in Arizona and make it legal will be excommunicated for partaking and legalalising abortion, by voting yes in November on the ballot initiative.
. We need to write letters to all the Bishops in those states where planned parenthood is putting abortion on ballot to enshrine in constitution of those states. Also in Montana they are trying to enshrine in state law. Im not sure what other states are putting it on the ballot in November. But we need to be active and help our fellow Catholics from making a grave mistake by voting to legalize abortion.

One more thing…I believe that all of our troubles could be immediately remedied if we made the conscious and bold decision to return to the 10 Commandments. As individuals and as a nation. Therein lies the true solution.
IMPORTANT REMINDER:
Our Lady herself said, “If you do not return to God and His Commandments, you do not have a future”.
Let’s start there and get the bishops onboard.!

Thank you for putting this together! We will reach out to our bishops and voice our disgust for their silence and remind them that they need to speak truth! The so-called ‘proclamation’ by our so-called ‘president’ DOES NOT represent the majority of American people. I’m 100% sure of that.! Also, it is blasphemous and sickening that during our holy Easter season this garbage was spewed. All of those involved with have to answer to God himself.
Note: I will gladly share this info and urgently send it to LifeSite News (my preferred news source)

Just this morning I was reading Luke 12 vs 57 “And why do you not judge for yourselves what is right?” I won’t judge the person but the actions of the President of the United States, who presents as Catholic, are condemned. What is referred to as “trans” genderism is an abomination before the Lord; it is a rejection of Him and an afront to the dignity of the human person created by God. Here in the UK we have the same problem: our Parliament has enacted a law called the Gender Recognition Act, which overrides the truth and declares that a person can declare themselves to be of the opposite sex; their “new” status comes under the protection of the Equality Act. Our judiciary are expected to endorse their choice by using their preferred pronouns in court. To do so denies God the Glory due to Him in creation “…male and female HE created them.” (Gen 1 vs 27) i.e. we do not create ourselves. This law conflicts with our right of Freedom of Religious Belief, so WHERE ARE THE BISHOPS??

I agree with everything that is written on this document; however; the source of this issue is not only in the US. You should take a much closer look at the Vatican in its own Pope. He has been seen and heard several times defending a criminal in Lula (president of Brazil) where the pope not only defends him, he says that all charges of corruption were fabricated. Now Lula is back in power and continue his corruption scheme as well as pushing for abortion legalization in Brazil for up to 9 months. How can the Pope defend such individual?

If not now, then when? If not us, then whom? Evil is taking to the streets and has boots on the ground everywhere, stopping traffic, destroying property, pulling down statues, and assaulting people. When will the Christians take to the streets? Thank you AFOM. Alabamians are fixin’ to launch out and kick some tail. But we gotta start with the spiritual and we gotta start with the authority of the Bishops.
To Bishop Raica of the Birmingham Diocese: We respect your position and your authority, but you are failing us miserably. Step up… or STEP DOWN. You’re running out of time.
