Before I comment on the text of this book that was published 5 years ago and, yet, has been so well hidden from public view, I would like to just make some general comments concerning my impressions of the text. In this regard, I find myself extremely troubled and saddened. These two men, who I have spent decades admiring for one aspect or another of their work, have proven, in this exchange of letters, to be both imprudent and compromised in the extreme. From the text, made up of Dr. Wolfgang Smith's letters to Fr. Malachi Martin and the, subsequent responses from Fr. Martin, we are burdened by a terrible thought. That two famous and notable men, so highly prized for their achievements, intellectual acumen, and great personalities, have wandered into the intellectual territory of the enemy. This is a hard saying, but it is clearly true. In this text, and other publications and works that we have mentioned on this blog, Dr. Wolfgang Smith has fully embraced the esotericism of the
What sort of lawyers could be hired to bring charges, at least for crimes committed or abetted outside the sovereignty of Vatican City.
ReplyDeleteI would be willing to make monthly payments toward such a case, as would others here.
Saw the Fatima movie yesterday. Nothing in it really disturbed my Catholic sense, although it certainly was not a 'Catholic movie'. It was not quite a parody of Fatima but the movie certainly would defuse any zeal for the words of the BVM. Some of it was historically inaccurate to the point of absurdity. The near comical interviews with the supposed elder Sr. Lucy and the failure to even mention freemasonry seems suspect. If I were to produce a film that would turn one of the most important historical events in history (if you except Fatima) into a quaint story of some innocent children creating a hysteria in a backward ignorant European village this would be it. Further if I sought to discredit any supernatural events that had occurred and wanted to discredit any authority on the matter and put to rest the whole thing, this too would be it. I think it would be impossible to deny that this movie could be the perfect 'anti - authentic Fatima message - propaganda hit piece'
ReplyDeleteAnd then - we have Sister Lucy Truth.
I watched the credits at the end and there was really nothing of note that indicated that the movie was supported, sanctioned or underwritten by any formal Catholic group, order or organization. (although I may have missed it) It is almost as though the producers consciously looked to distance themselves from any formal or 'traceable' direct financial support. I know a little about movie production and investments that support independent and small studio productions. If Opus Dei put out a note for cooperators to financially support this film, they could have easily raised enough for the production.
The timing of the film juxtaposed with the great work being done to achieve Justice for the true dear Lucy seems too coincidental. Finding a link between Opus Dei and this film would likely further this great two-lucy cause.
PS. I saw a reference as some point that the name that Lucy was given by her order
was "Maria of sorrows" . Could that be confirmed? and indicate if that was as a Dorothean or later as a Carmelite (or the suspected Opus Dei simulated Carmelite convent)
Thanks for all you do!
