Did you know that... World War III started on September 11, 2001, according the the US Commander in Chief at the time, President George W. Bush? (1)
As we published as a footnote of a document (2) published on January 2010:
US President George W. Bush has said the September 11 revolt of passengers against their hijackers on board Flight 93 had struck the first blow of "World War III". In an interview with the financial news network CNBC, Mr. Bush said he had yet to see the recently released film of the uprising, a dramatic portrayal of events on the United Airlines plane before it crashed in a Pennsylvania field.
But he said he agreed with the description of David Beamer, whose son Todd died in the crash, who in a Wall Street Journal commentary last month called it "our first successful counter-attack in our homeland in this new global war, World War III".
Mr. Bush said: "I believe that. I believe that it was the first counter-attack to World War III". (1)

Did you know that...
...the Vatican Bank is mired in yet another financial scandal? (1)
The Institute for Religious Works - the Vatican Bank - is under harsh new scrutiny in a case involving money-laundering allegations that led police to seize € 23 million ($30 million) in Vatican assets in September. Critics say the case shows that the "Vatican Bank" has never shed its penchant for secrecy and scandal.
The Vatican calls the seizure of assets a "misunderstanding" and expresses optimism it will be quickly cleared up. But court documents show that prosecutors say the Vatican Bank deliberately flouted anti-laundering laws "with the aim of hiding the ownership, destination and origin of the capital". The documents also reveal investigators' suspicions that clergy may have acted as fronts for corrupt businessmen and Mafia.
The documents pinpoint two transactions that have not been reported: one in 2009 involving the use of a false name, and another in 2010 in which the Vatican Bank withdrew € 650,000 ($860,000) from an Italian bank account but ignored bank requests to disclose where the money was headed.
The M+G+R Foundation comments: Can these people do anything else besides lying and deceiving? The tragedy is the many souls that will be lost, and those who will have to undergo tremendous avoidable suffering just because their blind faith is placed in the Vatican and not in God. Who needs Wikileaks? The Church Administrators are stupid enough to get caught every time - Thanks be to God!

Did you hear that... a global eruption on the sun has shattered old ideas about solar activity? (1)
Researchers presented their surprising findings at a press conference on December 13th at the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco.
The M+G+R Foundation comments: The "wise scientists" strike again and another dearly held "old idea", which a year ago was probably called a "firm fact", hits the dust. As we recently said - it is getting harder and harder to differentiate scientists from Roman Catholic Church Administrators.

From (Mr.) IW @ US
The most famous priest associated with SOLT (Society of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity) is the well known EWTN personality and Opus Dei trained (University of Navarre, Spain), Fr. John Corapi. (1)
But it would seem that both SOLT and US priests and Bishops of Opus Dei have now received a very public black eye via a SOLT priest - Fr. John M. Fiala. (2)
"Fiala was accused in an April 2010 lawsuit of having sexually assaulted a boy, ages 15-16, in
2007-2008. Accusations include rape at gunpoint and threats that he would hurt
the boy and his family if the boy told. Fiala is also said to have plied the boy with
alcohol and gifts. The boy disclosed the abuse to his school counselor, after running away and
trying to commit suicide. Omaha archdiocesan officials stated publicly in April 2010 that they had
received a complaint in 2002 that Fiala had "made sexual advances" toward a minor in the
mid-1980s. Fiala was arrested in Dallas County TX in Nov. 2010 for trying to hire a hit man to
kill a boy who had accused Fiala of sexual abuse." (3)
It also becomes obvious that SOLT founder, Fr. James Flanagan would have known Fiala personally, as Fr. Fiala was at one point Spiritual Director for the order.
Well known Opus Dei member, Archbishop Jose Horacio Gomez of San Antonio, Texas (now Coadjutor of Los Angeles) was the Ordinary there, who most certainly was consulted as to the appointment of Fr. Fiala as director of the Blue Army/World Apostolate of Fatima (4) for the Archdiocese.
Ironically, Fr. Andrew Apostoli, CFR [the Community of the Franciscans of the Renewal], is the Spiritual Advisor to the World Apostolate of Fatima, and its main mouthpiece through EWTN. He also is the Vice-Postulator for the canonization cause for Fulton J. Sheen. Even greater irony is that the CFR, the order he co-founded with Fr. Benedict Groeschel has had its own sex abuse issues. (5)
Interestingly, the clerical career of Fr. John Corapi (SOLT) has obvious intersections with Fr. Fiala, through this rather small order. (6)
So it seems that everybody has 'black eyes' from this. Yet we hear neither sincere "Mea Culpas" from these 'stars' of Opus Dei, nor do we see the Faithful showing up at their respective offices with the proverbial 'lighted torches and pitchforks' of justifiable outrage. Sadly, the Blind sheep continue to Pay and Obey the objects of their 'faith'.
(1) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fr._John_Corapi
(2) http://www.societyofourlady.net/founder.html - It would seem that the founder of this order 'saw the light' in similar manner to Escriva (Opus Dei) & Maciel (Legion of Christ).

A. This story makes the murderous and soul-killing corruption of the Church Administration very clear.
This horrific example applies to the US, right now ... and blows a huge hole into the whole US Catholic neo-conservative enterprise.
"Holy" hit-men, indeed.

[Feast

From (Mr.) TK @ US
Just saw an article titled: "Evidence for ET is mounting daily, but not proven". (1)
It fits with your FYI&R page of December 8th (2) where you stated: "The scientific community is beginning to sound more and more like the Vatican... everything seems to be 'a mystery.'"
Looks like you nailed it again!
Do you think it will be much longer? I know the answer is soon but it is hard to watch all that is going on and most do not even have a clue or care for that matter.
The answer truly is "Pray (3) and Pray some more (4) for Divine Mercy (5)!"
The hour of Grace is at 12:00 noon today (letter sent on December 8th). I will be praying for all.
Thanks again for all you have done and are doing for us.
TK
A. Thank you for you kind words and prayers - they are always welcome and needed. As you know - it is God Who "is doing the nailing", that is why it is "again". It is refreshing to see Him doing the nailing as opposed to seeing Him being nailed by those who claim to serve Him.
We have just picked up the December issue of a magazine published in Spain (for all Spanish speaking countries) to feel "its pulse". It did not take much to "feel it" since it hit us right in the face... The cover stories: "Are they preparing us for the revelation about extra terrestrials?" - "Amazing discoveries and public statements" - "Disconcerting wave of UFO on a worldwide scale".
We know that they are aware of our publications which are tempering/guiding theirs to less tabloid fare (including such articles as "The Ouija Board solved a homicide") and more hard facts.
Regarding your question, which you aptly answered yourself, "Do you think it will be much longer?" - we will share with you our secret to remain sane and fully available to Him. We only want to know what is needed at the time so that everything that He Wills we accomplish is accomplished as well as my miserable humanity will allow.
Given certain specific information a human - any human - will react, well, in a very human way and, if that human is an instrument of God, his very human reaction will actually interfere with God working through him.
The hardest task for any instrument of God is for his/her self to stay out of the way and allow God to flow through him/her. This is the one instance when "Ignorance is indeed bliss" as long as God is given free rein to act through His instrument.
The "Tree of (anticipated) knowledge" got our ancestors - Adam and Eve - in trouble and we do not want to make the same mistake.
Therefore - we echo the answer to your own question: "Pray (3) and Pray some more (4) for Divine Mercy (5)!"

If you were wondering how... insecure and public your private information can get. it will be hard to top this:
RFID technology (radio frequency identification) is a newest thing in secure (??) technology and
some of the newer credit cards have it. The news report video linked here
(1) explains how to identify if yours has the RFID chip and how public your
privacy is.
New US passports and some other legal documents have it too.

An update on... our review of Benedict's "Light of the World". Some areas seem to have been taken straight off our pages - Papal Infallibility (1) being one of them.
Others show a complete disconnect with reality and outright lies. To carry out a point by point critique would yield a book twice as big as his.
One thing we can assure you: His Pontificate will lead most to perdition, just as Our Lady clearly announced in Her Garabandal messages (2), confirming what Our Lady had announced a century earlier in La Salette (3) .

From the latest news out of Israel (1)(2) it is obvious that... they are doing all that is possible so that our prophecies regarding their future (3) are fulfilled.
(a) A number of leading rabbis who signed on to a religious ruling to forbid renting homes to
gentiles – a move particularly aimed against Arabs – defended their decision on Tuesday with
the declaration that the land of Israel belongs to the Jews. Dozens of Israel's municipal chief
rabbis signed on to the ruling, which comes just months after the chief rabbi of Safed initiated a
call urging Jews to refrain from renting or selling apartments to non-Jews.

(b) The United States has decided to abandon an effort to persuade Israel to issue a new temporary West Bank settlement moratorium in order for direct Israeli-Palestinian peace talks to resume, U.S. officials said Tuesday. (2)

Have you heard that... a Marian apparition at Champion, Wisconsin (US) dating back to 1959 has been approved by the local Bishop? (1)
[our underscoring]
The announcement was made during a special Mass for the Feast of the Immaculate Conception at the
Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help at Champion.
Reading from his decree, the Bishop stated, "I declare with moral certainty and in accord with the norms of the Church that the events, apparitions and locutions given to Adele Brise in October of 1859 do exhibit the substance of supernatural character, and I do hereby approve these apparitions as worthy of belief (although not obligatory) by the Christian faithful."
Today's declaration makes Our Lady of Good Help at Champion the first and only site in the United States of an approved apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
In October 1859, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared on three occasions to Adele Brise, a young Belgian immigrant. Brise stated that a lady dressed in dazzling white appeared to her and claimed to be the "Queen of Heaven who prays for the conversion of sinners". The Lady asked Brise to do the same, as well as to gather the children and teach them what they should know for salvation. The Blessed Virgin followed the commands with these words of assurance to Adele Brise, "Go and fear nothing, I will help you."
After receiving the apparitions, Adele Brise began work immediately to fulfill the obligations entrusted to her by the Blessed Virgin. She gathered local children and taught them how to pray, make the sign of the cross, and to give love, thanks, and praise to the Lord. As part of her commitment to the Blessed Virgin, Adele set up a Catholic school and began a community of Third Order Franciscan women. Eventually, a school and convent were built on the grounds to further the mission entrusted to Brise.

The M+G+R Foundation comments: Without doubting the reality of the apparitions, we doubt the intentions of the Bishop.
Does he really think that this will help sweep under the proverbial carpet, once and for all, the sexual abuse of children in the US and its cover up by the Bishops and Cardinals - Ratzinger included? Our answer: It is so late that, as with the five foolish virgins (2), the Roman Catholic Church does not have the necessary time to go and buy oil for its extinguished lamps.

[Feast of the Immaculate
Conception]
From miguel de Portugal @ EU - US
Henceforth, this page - For Your Information and Reference - will only be published on an occasional basis. Whenever it is updated, it will be noted on our Divine Encouragement page just as we do when the Board of Updates is updated.
God Willing the Divine Encouragement page will be renewed every other day as it has been for quite some time.
We must devote more time to prayer, sacrifice and behind the scenes correspondence. We must not forget the often-proven reality that one "on Divine command" letter to a world leader can move millions of people. Such a letter would take us no more time than is needed to prepare a daily FYI&R post. We are confident that our faithful readers will understand the shifting priorities.
On the other hand, there may be more frequent mailing to our List Members. We shall see how God works that out.
Did you know that... the annual Geminid meteor shower peaks this year on Dec. 13th and 14th? (1)
Researchers don't fully understand the Geminids, and new measurements, they say, make it more
mysterious than ever. The Geminid meteor shower is the most intense meteor shower of the year. It
lasts for days, is rich in fireballs, and can be seen from almost any point on Earth.
It's also NASA astronomer Bill Cooke's favorite meteor shower—but not for any of the reasons listed above. "The Geminids are my favorite", he explains, "because they defy explanation".
Most meteor showers come from comets, which spew ample meteoroids for a night of 'shooting stars.' The Geminids are different. The parent is not a comet but a weird rocky object named 3200 Phaethon that sheds very little dusty debris—not nearly enough to explain the Geminids.
"Of all the debris streams Earth passes through every year, the Geminids' is by far the most massive", says Cooke. "When we add up the amount of dust in the Geminid stream, it outweighs other streams by factors of 5 to 500." This makes the Geminids the 900-lb gorilla of meteor showers. Yet 3200 Phaethon is more of a 98-lb weakling.

[Pearl Harbor
Memorial]
We, again, wish to remind our readers that... our Heavenly Mother, manifesting Herself as Rosa Mystica (1) on December 8, 1947, requested that H.H. Pius XII be notified of Her desire that an Hour of Grace be observed every December 8th henceforth.
Our Lady appeared once more to Pierina in the Basilica of Montichiari on November 22, 1947, in the
presence of several people, and demanded that the seer make the Sign of the Cross four times with
her tongue on the tiles in the center of the church. Our Lady then descended onto the spot and
said: I descend on this place, for many great conversions will happen here. And in a sad
voice She continued: The Christians of your Italian nation belong to those who offend most my
Divine Son Jesus through their sins of unchastity. Our Lord demands, therefore, PRAYER, GENEROUS
SACRIFICES, AND PENANCE.
Pierina asked: "What do we have to do to fulfill your demands for prayer and penance?" Our Lady replied full of tenderness: Prayer (2) . After a short, silent pause, She explained: Penance means to accept every day all the little crosses and the duties too, in the spirit of penance. (3)
Thereupon She promised solemnly: On the 8th December, at noon, I shall appear again here in the Basilica. IT WILL BE THE HOUR OF GRACE.
Pierina asked: "Please explain to me the meaning of Hour of Grace".
She responded: This Hour of Grace will produce great and numerous conversions. Hardened and cold hearts resembling this marble will be touched by divine Grace, and they will become faithful to Our Lord in loyal love.

times of global catastrophe.

...the National Security Agency (NSA) is conducting a counterintelligence probe at its Fort Meade, Md., headquarters in a top-secret hunt for a Russian agent, according to a former intelligence official close to the agency. (1)
The former official said the probe grew out of the case of 10 Russian “illegals,” or
deep-cover spies, who were uncovered last summer and sent back to Moscow after the defection of
Col. Alexander Poteyev, a former SVR foreign intelligence officer who reportedly fled to the U.S.
shortly before Russian President Dmitry Medvedev visited here in June.
Col. Poteyev is believed to be the source who disclosed the U.S.-based agent network.
NSA counterintelligence officials suspect that members of the illegal network were used by Russia's SVR spy agency to communicate with one or more agents inside the agency, which conducts electronic intelligence gathering and code-breaking.

It is for today and now... that these words - which are part of today's Gospel [Matthew 3: 1-12] are applicable. It was for today and now that they were uttered, and now we repeat again:
And seeing many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them: Ye brood
of vipers, who hath shewed you to flee from the wrath to come? Bring forth therefore fruit worthy
of penance. And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham for our father. For I tell you
that God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham. For now the axe is laid to the
root of the trees. Every tree therefore that doth not yield good fruit, shall be cut down, and
cast into the fire.
... he that shall come after me... will thoroughly cleanse his floor and gather his wheat into the barn; but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire. [Matthew 3: 7-12]
... he that shall come after me... will thoroughly cleanse his floor and gather his wheat into the barn; but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire. [Matthew 3: 7-12]
A prayerful meditation of the full Sunday Gospel - [Matthew 3: 1-12] - will clearly indicate the two applicable times - then and now.
It is when the above is fulfilled - Marana tha! - that what Isaiah announced - also read in today's Mass: - will be fulfilled:
But he shall judge the poor with justice, and shall reprove with equity for the meek of the
earth: land he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips
he shall slay the wicked. And justice shall be the girdle of his loins: and faith the girdle of
his reins.
The wolf shall dwell with the lamb: and the leopard shall lie down with the kid: the calf and
the lion, and the sheep shall abide together, and a little child shall lead them. The calf and the
bear shall feed: their young ones shall rest together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp: and the weaned child shall thrust his
hand into the den of the basilisk.
They shall not hurt, nor shall they kill in all my holy mountain, for the earth is filled with the knowledge of the Lord, as the covering waters of the sea. In that day the root of Jesse, who standeth for an ensign of the people, him the Gentiles shall beseech, and his sepulchre shall be glorious. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand the second time to possess the remnant of his people,... [Isaiah 11:4-11]

Did you know that... many books which may have been part of the Old Testament never made it to us? For example:
In the Second Book of Samuel (1:18) we read about a Book of the Just;
In the Second Maccabees (2:24) we read about the Book of Jason of Cyrene; and
In the Book of Numbers (21:14) we read about the Book of the Wars of the Lord
There are at least twenty of those Books which are cited in our Old Testament yet they were lost -
just like the Ark of the Covenant.In the Second Maccabees (2:24) we read about the Book of Jason of Cyrene; and
In the Book of Numbers (21:14) we read about the Book of the Wars of the Lord
There is so much man does not know! The more we learn the more we realize how little we know which moves God to give us more. That is what Jesus meant when He said:
Take heed therefore how you hear. For whosoever hath, to him shall be given: and whosoever hath
not, that also which he thinketh he hath, shall be taken away from him. [Luke
8:18]
You see, the more we learn - the more we have, while recognizing how little we have and how much more there is to learn. That moves God to give more. Those who have little do not realize how little they has and how much more there is to learn, thus, the little they have will be lost.
Jesus never meant material goods - He meant knowledge and wisdom.

The M+G+R Foundation comments:
As it is customary (4) for the Church Administration when Mary gently reminds them of their abysmal failures and the consequences to expect when Her requests are ignored... Her requests were summarily ignored once more. As a matter of fact it is said that "the Church Administration has disapproved the Rosa Mystica manifestations". Of course, we are not surprised. What can we expect from a brood of vipers [Matthew 3:7 and 12:34] in a den of thieves [Matthew 21:13]?
Of course, all came to pass and will continue to do so, for Rome has not seen the end of the Sexual Abuse Scandal yet. Our Lord promised the full consequences for such hideous transgressions and He will deliver them:
But he that shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me, it were better for
him that a millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be drowned in the depth
of the sea. Woe to the world because of scandals. For it must needs be that scandals come: but
nevertheless woe to that man by whom the scandal cometh. [Matthew 18:
6-7]
For them we must pray just as Jesus also taught us [Matthew 5:44] for only an insane creature (5) would want to be in their shoes - whether they are still living or already gone.

Know that finally... the Spanish translation of Benedict XVI's book - Light of the World - reached our hands yesterday, after our book supplier ordered it through different sources - publishing company included - since the day before its release on November 24th. The book publishing specifications indicate that it is the First Edition (but) the Second Printing. Considering that this issue is part of the first group available to the libraries, thus, the general public, our suspicion that the initial printing was recalled for "touch ups" seems to be well founded.
The "key issue" - the use of prophylactics by a male prostitute - has been "polished" enough so that "its glare" will not allow the brain of a reader to raise a red flag. The term used is "un prostituido" which culturally may be translated into English as "a prostituted one".
When we read in English the phrase "a prostituted one" it really does not tell you the gender. In Spanish, it is a bit trickier. Traditionally the male gender - ending in "o" - was taken as a global term encompassing male and female genders. That is, "un Americano" used to be understood as "an American", any American of any gender. After women's liberation the situation has been changed thus: "un Americano" now means an male American while "una Americana" now means a female American, yet, in English they still both translate as "An American".
The young Spanish speaking people now demand the specific terminology: "un prostituto" (a male prostitute) and "una prostituta" (a female prostitute) whereas to the mature audiences "un prostituido" could refer to a male or female prostitute.
We must tip our proverbial hats to these spin masters: This as as close to perfection as anyone could have spun this most explosive issue.
In general terms, after just a scan looking for the "key issue", we must say: the book seems to be interesting. The questions are varied, tough and direct and Benedict seems to be rather candid in his responses. We will report in this forum anything that would be in keeping with our functions. (1)

Did you know that... Japan (which is vying for the World Cup 2022 tournament) will find out on December 2 whether its ambitious proposed ideas, which appear to be stolen wholesale from science fiction, paid off?
At the heart of Japan's bid is a plan to broadcast entire games to stadiums on the other side
of the world in what appears to be life-sized holograms.
The M+G+R Foundation comments: Of course, the world will have been transformed by then, and there will not be any 2022 World Cup, but the False Christ (2) Technology is more than a mature idea now.

Notes
(1) If you are a new visitor, you may get the I'dea (from what you may read on this page) that we are part of what is known as the "liberal movement" within Catholicism. We strongly suggest that you first review our positions regarding the Pristine Catholic Faith (we saI'd "Faith" and not "Church Administration), RC Church Administration, Only Possible Changes Within the RCC Allowed by God and Our Function.
(2) If you prefer to evaluate positions using the "liberal", "moderate" and "conservative" labels, we would fall in the "practicing conservative" group, without the fanaticism which most "talking conservatives" exhibit. The difference between "practicing conservative" and "talking conservative" is that the first strives to live what Jesus Christ taught, while the second one, the "talking conservative", just talks about the faith and practices just enough for others to see.
