“Presently Francisco did begin to grasp what the Angel had meant by sacrifices. From that day forth he vied with the girls in giving up little pleasures and satisfactions for the sinners of the world. All three would spend hours at a time lying prostrate on the ground, repeating over and over again the prayer that the Angel had taught.” (Our Lady of Fatima, p. 41.)
“I reject the heretical invention of the evolution of dogmas, passing from one meaning to another, different from that which the Church first had.” (Pope Pius X, The Oath Against Modernism, A.D. 1910)
St. Hilary (360): “Bodies corrupted by lust are the dwelling places of devils.”
St. Alphonsus (c. 1760): “See also the special love which God has shown you in bringing you into life in a Christian country, and in the bosom of the Catholic or true Church. How many are born among the pagans, among the Jews, among the Mohammedans and heretics, and all are lost.”
Pope St. Leo the Great: “The desire to hurt us is indeed ever active in the tempter, but he will be disarmed and powerless, if he find no vantage ground within us from which to attack us.” (Sermon 78)
St. Alphonsus (1760): “To a spiritual life the reading of holy books is perhaps not less useful than mental prayer. St. Bernard says reading instructs us at once in prayer, and in the practice of virtue. Hence he concluded that spiritual reading and prayer are the arms by which hell is conquered and paradise won… Hence St. Athanasius used to say that we find no one devoted to the service of the Lord that did not practice spiritual reading.”
St. Gregory Nazianzen: “Seeing many people… expending a great deal of time on their efforts for which no reward awaits – or only empty chatter…”
Pope St. Gregory I (c. 590): “… if you be Christ’s then you are the seed of Abraham (Gal. 3:29). If we because of our faith in Christ are deemed children of Abraham, the Judeans therefore because of their perfidy have ceased to be his seed.”
Our Lady to St. Dominic (1214): “Dominic, do you know which weapon the Blessed Trinity wants to use to reform the world? ‘Oh, my Lady,’ answered St. Dominic, ‘you know far better than I do…’ Then Our Lady replied: ‘I want you to know that, in this kind of warfare, the battering ram has always been the Angelic Psalter (the Rosary) which is the foundation stone of the New Testament. Therefore if you want to reach these hardened souls and win them over to God, preach my Psalter (the Rosary).’” (The Secret of the Rosary, p. 18.)
St. Aphraates (336): “And Jesus handed over the keys to Simon, and ascended and returned to Him who had sent Him.”
St. Patrick (450): “The miseries of Hell, as they truly are, no tongue can tell; no mind can conceive; for in their reality they are far more dreadful than they are thought to be.”
Pope Gregory XVI, Mirari Vos (# 10), Aug. 15, 1832: “Therefore, it is obviously absurd and injurious to propose a certain ‘restoration and regeneration’ for her (the Church) as though necessary for her safety and growth, as if she could be considered subject to any failing health or dimming of mind or other misfortune.”
St. Louis De Montfort (1706): “… the devils, who are skillful thieves, wish to surprise us unawares, and to strip us. They watch day and night for the favorable moment. For that end they go round about us incessantly to devour us and to snatch from us in one moment, by a sin, all the graces and merits we have gained for many years.” (True Devotion to Mary #87)
Pope St. Leo I (445): “… as we detest Arians, whose desire it is to place a certain division between the Father and the Son, so do we likewise detest Macedonians, who… believe at the same time that the Holy Spirit is of a lower nature; not thinking that they are falling into that blasphemy which shall be forgiven neither in this world nor in the world to come.”
“Other Christians accepted Hell on faith, because Christ had said repeatedly and with solemn emphasis that there is a Hell, but Jacinta had seen it; and once she grasped the idea that God’s justice is the counterpart of His mercy, and that there must be a Hell if there is to be a Heaven, nothing seemed so important to her except to save as many souls as possible from the horrors she had glimpsed under the radiant hands of the Queen of heaven. Nothing could be too hard, nothing too small or too great to give up.” (Our Lady of Fatima, p. 89)
St. Ambrose (386): “This denial of the Divinity of Christ was written in the Council of Rimini, and I am right when I shiver at the thought of that Council. I follow the teaching of the Council of Nicaea, from which neither death nor the sword shall ever be able to separate me.”
Isaias 33:14: “Which of you can dwell with devouring fire? Which of you can dwell with everlasting burnings?”
St. Thomas Aquinas (1262): “Wisdom may fill the hearts of the faithful, and put to silence the dread folly of heretics, fittingly referred to as the gates of Hell.” (Intro. To Catena Aurea.)
St. Alphonsus (1760): “If you neglect God’s call on this occasion, he may perhaps abandon you forever. Resolve, then, resolve! ‘The devil,’ says St. Theresa, ‘is afraid of resolute souls.’ St. Bernard teaches that many souls are lost through want of fortitude.”
St. Jerome: “For if many heresies have been condemned by the Church on account of one word or of two, which are contrary to the faith, how much more must that man be counted a heretic who has invented so many perverse things, so many false doctrines! He stands forth as the enemy of God and of the Church… The only people we do not welcome are heretics…” (Apology Against Rufinus - Book III)
“The perverse are hard to be corrected, and the number of fools is infinite.” (Ecclesiastes 1:15)
Jesus said: “He that is of God, hears the words of God. Therefore you hear them not, because you are not of God.” (John 8:47)
Pope St. Gregory VII, Sept. 10, 1074: “… the Kingdom of France… In truth, in these times both the loftiness of its honor and the whole aspect of its adornment seem to have fallen asunder, seeing how, with laws neglected and all righteousness trampled underfoot, whatever is foul, cruel, wretched, and insupportable is there both being done with impunity and, license being afforded, is now regarded as custom.”
St. Athanasius, Discourse Against the Arians, Chap. 3, A.D. 356: “Therefore, since all that remains is to say that from the devil came their mania (for of such opinions he alone is sower), proceed we to resist him— for with him is our real conflict, and they are but instruments —that, the Lord aiding us, and the enemy, as he is wont, being overcome with arguments, they may be put to shame, when they see him without resource who sowed this heresy in them, and may learn, though late, that, as being Arians, they are not Christians.”
St. Louis De Montfort (1710): “The Hail Mary is a blessed dew that falls from heaven upon the souls of the predestinate. It gives them a marvelous spiritual fertility so that they can grow in all virtues. The more the garden of the soul is watered by this prayer the more enlightened one’s intellect becomes, the more zealous his heart, and the stronger his armor against his spiritual enemies.” (The Secret of the Rosary, p. 46)
Second Council of Nicea, 787: “To those who dare to say that the Catholic Church ever accepted idols anathema!” (Seventh Session, Definition of Faith)
St. Benedict: “Idleness is the enemy of the soul…”
Pope Leo XIII (1902): “By his (Christopher Columbus’) toil another world emerged from the unsearched bosom of the ocean: hundreds of thousands of mortals have, from a state of blindness been raised to the common level of the human race, reclaimed from savagery to gentleness and humanity; and, greatest of all, by the acquisition of those blessings of which Jesus Christ is the author, they have been recalled from destruction to eternal life.” (Encyclical, Quarto Abrupto)
St. Patrick (450): “In the Kingdom of God nothing is desired that may not be found: but in hell, nothing is found that is desired. In the Kingdom of God there is nothing that does not delight and satisfy; while in that deep lake of unending misery nothing is seen, nothing is felt, which does not displease, which does not torment.”
Pope Innocent III (1215): “The devil and other demons were created by God naturally good, but they became evil by their own doing. Man, however, sinned at the prompting of the devil.” (Fourth Lateran Council)
Dan. 7:9-10: “I beheld till thrones were placed, and the Ancient of days sat: his garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like clean wool: his throne like flames of fire: the wheels of it like a burning fire. A swift stream of fire issued forth from before him: thousands of thousands ministered to him, and ten thousand times a hundred thousand stood before him: the judgment sat, and the books were opened.”
Errors of the Modernists #62: “The principal articles of the Apostles’ Creed did not have the same meaning for the Christians of the earliest times as they have for our times.” – Condemned by Pope Pius X
Jacinta: “‘Francisco! Francisco, are you going to pray with me? It is necessary to pray a great deal to save souls from Hell. So many are going there! So many!’ And they said the prayer again together, for those who said no prayers.” (William Thomas Walsh, Our Lady of Fatima, p. 90.)
Pope St. Celestine: “If anyone dares to say that Christ was a God-bearing man and not rather God in truth, being by nature one Son, even as ‘the Word became flesh,’ and is made partaker of flesh and blood precisely like us, let him be anathema.” (Council of Ephesus, 431, Can. 5, Against Nestorius)
St. John Eudes (17th century): “Is it not a deplorable truth, that many who fill the highest offices, and occupations the most holy, lose the merit of all their actions in failing to perform them with that purity of heart and intention which is necessary?”
“Know you not that the unjust shall not possess the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor the effeminate, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor railers, nor extortioners, shall possess the kingdom of God.” (1 Cor. 6:9-10)
St. Basil: “For how is a man the better for having his belly filled yesterday, if his natural hunger fails to find its proper satisfaction in food today? In the same way the soul gains nothing by yesterday’s virtue unless it be followed by the right conduct of today. For it is said I shall judge you as I shall find you.” (Letter 42, 4th century)
Isaiah 40:12-13,21-22-“Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and weighed the heavens with his palm? Who has poised with three fingers the bulk of the earth, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance? Who has forwarded the spirit of the Lord? Or who has been his counsellor, and hath taught him?... Do you not know? Has it not been heard? Has it not been told you from the beginning? Have you not understood the foundations of the earth? It is he that sits upon the globe of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as locusts: he that stretches out the heavens as nothing, and spreads them out as a tent to dwell in.”
Saint Bede: “The door of the heavenly kingdom is open to all; but the quality of men’s merits will admit one man and reject another. How wretched must it be for a man to be shut from the glory of the saints and to be consigned with the devil to eternal flames!”
Pope Eugene IV: “It is also necessary for salvation to believe faithfully the incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ. The right faith, therefore, is that we believe and confess that our Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, is God and man… At His coming all shall rise again with their bodies, and shall give an account of their own deeds. Those who have done good shall go into eternal life, but those who have done evil shall go into eternal fire.” (Council of Florence, Athanasian Creed)
St. Basil, Letter 2, 4th Century: “Now solitude is of the greatest use… For just as animals are more easily controlled when they are stroked... the soul’s deadly foes, are better brought under the control of reason, after being calmed by inaction, and where there is no continuous stimulation. Let there then be such a place as ours, separate from interactions with men, that the tenor of our exercises be not interrupted from without.”
Pope Benedict XIV, Quod Provinciale, Aug. 1, 1754: “The Provincial Council of your province of Albania… decreed most solemnly in its third canon, among other matters, as you know, that Turkish or Mohammedan names should not be given either to children or adults in baptism… This should not be hard for any one of you, venerable brothers, for none of the schismatics and heretics has been rash enough to take a Mohammedan name, and unless your justice abounds more than theirs, you shall not enter the kingdom of God.” (Quod Provinciale #1, Aug. 1, 1754)
St. Catherine of Siena to Blessed Raymond Capua: “I saw the pains of Hell and of Purgatory, [which are] so great that no tongue of man is able to declare them. I saw also the bliss of Heaven and the glory of my Divine Spouse, which only to think of fills my soul with a loathing for all things that are in the world.”
St. Anselm, against those who refuse to believe until they understand: “For I do not seek to understand that I may believe, but I believe that I may understand. For this I also believe, that unless I believe, I should not understand.” (Chapter One of the Prosologion)
“…when it began to dawn towards the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary to see the sepulcher. And behold there was a great earthquake. For an angel of the Lord descended from heaven: and coming, rolled back the stone, and sat upon it. And his countenance was as lightning, and his raiment as snow. And for fear of him, the guards were struck with terror, and became as dead men. And the angel answering, said to the women: Fear not you: for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified: He is not here; for he is risen, as he said.” (Matthew 28:1-6)
“As they were talking about these things, Jesus himself stood among them, and said to them, ‘Peace to you!’ But they were startled and frightened and thought they saw a spirit. And he said to them, ‘Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Touch me, and see. For a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.’ And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet. And while they still disbelieved for joy and were marveling, he said to them, ‘Have you anything here to eat?’ They gave him a piece of broiled fish, and he took it and ate before them. Then he said to them, ‘These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.’ Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, and said to them, ‘Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things. And behold, I am sending the promise of my Father upon you. But stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.’ Then he led them out as far as Bethany, and lifting up his hands he blessed them. While he blessed them, he parted from them and was carried up into heaven. And they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy...” (Luke 24:36-53)
Sister Lucia of Fatima: “Look, Father, the Most Holy Virgin in these last times in which we live has given a new efficacy to the recitation of the Holy Rosary. She has given this efficacy to such an extent that there is no problem, no matter how difficult it is, whether temporal or above all, spiritual, in the personal life of each one of us, of our families, of the families of the world, or of the religious communities, or even of the life of peoples and nations that cannot be solved by the Rosary. There is no problem I tell you, no matter how difficult it is, that we cannot resolve by the prayer of the Holy Rosary. With the Holy Rosary, we will save ourselves. We will sanctify ourselves. We will console Our Lord and obtain the salvation of many souls.” (From the 1957 interview with Fr. Fuentes)
Pope Leo XIII: “To reject dogma is simply to deny Christianity.” (Tametsi # 9, Nov. 1, 1900)
When the Philistines captured the ark of God: “And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it into the temple of Dagon [their idol], and set it by Dagon. And when the Azotians arose early the next day, behold Dagon lay upon his face on the ground before the ark of the Lord: and they took Dagon, and set him again in his place. And the next day again, when they rose in the morning, they found Dagon lying upon his face on the earth before the ark of the Lord: and the head of Dagon, and both the palms of his hands, were cut off upon the threshold.” (1 Kings 5:2-4)
Pope Pius X: “That the State must be separated from the Church is a thesis absolutely false, a most pernicious error... Hence the Roman Pontiffs have never ceased, as circumstances required, to refute and condemn the doctrine of the separation of Church and State.” (Vehementer Nos #3, Feb. 11, 1906)
St. Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologiae, I-II, Q. 88, A. 5, Reply 1: “With regard to drunkenness we reply that it is a mortal sin by reason of its genus; for, that a man, without necessity, and through the mere lust of wine, makes himself unable to use his reason, whereby he is directed to God and avoids committing many sins, is expressly contrary to virtue.”
Pope Benedict XIV, Ex Quo Primum (# 61), March 1, 1756: “The first consideration is that the ceremonies of the Mosaic Law were abrogated by the coming of Christ and that they can no longer be observed without sin after the promulgation of the Gospel.”
