May 13, Fatima Anniversary

It's now ninety four years since the Virgin Mary appeared to the three children at Fatima.

In almost a century the Church has failed to consecrate Russia or promote the five saturdays of reparation.

In the meantime secular humanism has become the world's religion, especially in the economically more developed world.

I have just finished reading the story of the St. Benedict's Center in Cambridge, Mass, where Father Leonard Feeney taught the Faith. Fr. Feeney was ultimately dismissed as a Jesuit but his words contained in a letter dated August 10, 1949, to the General of the Society of Jesus ring true today.

"The more I express my distress and suffering to see the Catholic Faith disappear from among the Catholics of the United States, because of the heretical teachings of my brothers of the Society of Jesus, the more do my enemies, who are betraying their Faith and their sacred vows of fidelity to the Catholic doctrine and to His Holinesss, the Pope, find themselves supported in their tyranical measures by the decrees and the disciplinary measures directed against me and proceeding from Your Paternity." (Trans from the French.)

In May of the same year he had written the General of the Society,
"If Your Paternity does not do this (investigate at once the orthodoxy of the Jesuit Provincial) it means the ruin of the Faith in this country, due to the negligence of our own order."

How prophetic were Fr. Feeney's words. He realized that the Jesuits had the power to stop the Liberalization of the Roman Church, but history now suggests they were prominent in the promotion of Liberalism.

Only six years now to the centenary of Fatima. Only six years to repent and be converted. God give me the strength to repent.
