LIBERALISM - 1969 by Helen Howell

Liberalism is opposed to truth and cannot be of the Holy Spirit.

Outright lies of liberalism are: there is no internal threat of communism. (J. Edgar Hoover‘s “Masters of Deceit”  gives documented evidence to the contrary.) Coexistence with the enemy, which is like living with a rattlesnake and not knowing when it will strike. Their dialectics means just that, when they have infiltrated every key position, they will strike. Misinterpreting Pope John as endorsing these evils,  as well as the UN, an organization Communistically controlled, responsible for massacres and atrocities such as perpetrated in Katanga and the Congo. Father Cronin is their authority on Communism, never Pope Pius XI  on Atheistic Communism. 

The Devil’s logic of Liberalism within the church: the first big change in fasting rules: it was recommended that all who could, retain the old laws, but was soon followed by “don’t be more Catholic than the Pope” as if anyone knew just how Catholic the Pope was in this regard personally. The Fatima Message -“you don’t have to believe in private revelations“, overlooking Pope Pius XII admonition, “the time for doubting Fatima is past, it is now time for action;” overlooking  too that God has always dealt with his chosen people by sending emissaries to warn of danger, this time His own dear Mother. How wrathful He could be with this kind of indifference and scorn.

The Laity Movement so widely publicized, which draws in the staunch loyal Catholics in numbers to have their faith watered down with liberal doctrine. My Legionaries carrying Mary’s message, but also that of the enemy. My Sponsors,  who did so much to help me fully appreciate the Faith, accepting errors which were so strongly opposed before. We are constantly told how much we will enjoy the new Mass, the brainwashing repetition to accept what they want us to accept. Apologies for truth about things the Church has never been guilty of, such as persecution of the Jews.

The most dangerous and favorable to the eventual loss of souls is the omission of prayers and devotions in the Church, and pointing to the primacy of the Mass, overlooking our Lord’s admonition to pray and pray always; destroying  that grandeur and beauty, the length, breadth, and depth of contemplation of truth  that is never fully explored, the soul of spirituality; the personal, unique contact that God has with every individual soul and the many ways in which He does lead them to Him. How much our Novenas did for me to lead me to Mary and her Son and a desire for daily mass.

The darkness of this Advent has carried me to the heights of Calvary. My Blessed Mother reminds me that Christ was obedient unto death, even death on the cross, and so I will obediently seek the Christ Child on His birthday in the baroness of the stable as it was on that first Christmas, a baroness accentuated by surroundings that are too reminiscent of a past when I knew Him not, the emptiness of Protestantism that was made known to me so clearly with the Gift of Faith. My Mother will, as she always has, give me the true peace and joy of a loving Fiat to God‘s Holy Will:  I have but to trust in Her Immaculate Heart.
