BFP - The Consecration is Nice But Not What Our Lady Asks of Us Today

This past Friday, on the Solemnity of the Annunciation, Pope Francis performed a Consecration of Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. While this is a laudable act, is it what Our Lady Asks of us today? Looking at the second secret of Fatima itself, actual history, and the message of Akita, it appears that we are not doing what she wants... and we are paying for it.

Cincinnati’s past ignoring heterodoxy and heresy have caught up to it as Archbishop Schnurr rolls out a PR consultant led “Beacons of Light” crisis communications program designed to steer public opinion, but there is a much better (and far cheaper) way he could be fixing the problem instead of papering it over.

BFP USCCB Communion Statement Schnurr Communion in the hand

At this last USCCB meeting, the Spring 2021 meeting, setting the agenda resulted in a parliamentary question when a retired Bishop wished to add something to the agenda.  The parliamentarian is Archbishop Schnurr, the Archbishop of Cincinnati.

It was the spring meeting of the NCCB/USCCB in 1977 where the agenda discussion resulted in a parliamentary trick that removed a threshhold question from the motion to seek an indult for communion in the hand ... it happened at the hands of the then Archbishop of Cincinnati, Bernadin.

Comments from bishops and Cardinals in 1977 said that the fraud employed to ram the Communion in the hand vote was a disobedience of bishops and opened an era of "selective discipline."

Today, the USCCB is discussing what to do about politician that are selectively obedient to Catholicism yet go to Holy Communion as if they were in full communion.

The problem began in 1977 and today's issue is precisely what those Cardinals and Bishops warned of.  The USCCB cannot fix the problem today without acknowledging the poison in the well caused by Bernadin's fraud!
