'All' Is Now 'Many'
Decades ago I was taught by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet that any change in the form or the matter would make a sacrament invalid. Has the Church admitted with the new change from 'all' to 'many' in the Consecration of the Wine that they have used an invalid form for over fifty years?
Theologians can make up all kinds of excuses however facts are facts. The word 'all' was not a translation mistake but was used on purpose by the Church.

The Triumph Over the Rosary
A retired Novus Ordo priest who I have immense respect told me that many of today's Catholics don't even know about the Rosary. Then recently there was a story on a 'Traditional' Catholic website that showed upwards to 500,000 people attending a Rosary rally at the Polo Field in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park in 1961. This story caught my eye because I remembered being at that rally with my parents thanks to the urging of my aunt a Dominican nun
who had such true devotion to the Holy Rosary that she made thousands of them during her spare time. It was also reported in the same story that fifty years later they had difficulty drawing 1,000 people to a Rosary rally ignored by the Archbishop of San Francisco.
Sister Lucy told Fr Fuentes in 1956 that Our Lady said to my cousins as well as myself that God is giving two last remedies to the world. These are the Holy Rosary and Devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. These are the last two remedies which signify that there will be no others. She also said, "Father, the Most Holy Virgin is very sad because no one has paid any attention to Her message, neither the good nor the bad." Can we even imagine how she feels today over fifty years later?
Vatican II altered the Catholic Church's teaching on Our Lady, making not one reference at all to her Most Holy Rosary. Modernists and sadly many traditional Catholics believe that Fatima is only a 'private revelation' and therefore you are under no obligation to believe it. Don't worry about it, the Age of Revelation ended with the death of the last Apostle St John the Evangelist. God gave all of us a free will. Mary said yes to God at The Annunciation. Why do so many choose to ignore the Blessed Virgin when she offers us her help?

A New Catherdal for Orange County
The Crystal Cathedral run by Robert H. Schuller for decades will soon be the site of a new Cathedral in Orange County California. Some Catholics were for the purchase and others opposed but regardless all would have to agree that it is a fantastic piece of real estate. Most Protestants wanted the property to be awarded to Chapman University a well respected college in Orange County but they have nothing to fear since today there is little or no difference between protestants and Catholics services.
Bishop Tod D. Brown said, "It would have cost us $200 million or more to build a new larger Catholic Cathedral in Orange County. This estimate has increased 100% in past few months, but regardless the savings will be tremendous. The Bishop also said, "We will get a renowned architect to renovate that building so it will be suitable for a Catholic place of worship. But we have no intention to change the exterior of the building."
If the interior is perfect for the protestant service it will be very suitable for the Catholics. You don't need to hire an architect to find an obscure corner or closet in the building to put a tabernacle that reminds us of the future Pius XII quote in the early 1930's "In our churches, Christians will search in vain for the red lamp where God awaits them."
Will the Diocese of Orange follow Oakland and reject the Mother of God? In Oakland's 21,600 square foot 'Cathedral of Christ the Light' there is not one sign of Our Blessed Mother. When His Mother is rejected, this upsets the Son which is not a good idea and might be considered a sin against the Holy Ghost which according to the gospels is not forgivable. Since the Diocese of Orange is Catholic in name only it is almost assured that the Blessed Mother will not been seen in the Cathedral. When was she last seen in any new Catholic Church? The more revealing question is, Will there even be a crucifix?

Central Bank
This morning (October 2011) I opened up the Drudge Report and read the headline, "Vatican Calls for Central World Bank." I remembered the words of Blessed Jacinta of Fatima, "You must pray for sinner, and for priests and religious. Priests should concern themselves only with the things of the Church ."
