MDM Prohibited by Bishop Malone of the Diocese of Portland, Maine,U.S.A.


Bishop Richard J. Malone has prohibited the dissemination of the Maria Divine Mercy messages. Here is the text of his letter to pastors, and below that are photos of the actual letter:



Dear Monsignor/Father:



Recently an inquiry was (sic) been made relative to some materials that are being disseminated through the website www.thewarningsecondcoming.com.  The website contains the writings of “Maria Divine Mercy” which is the pseudonym of an anonymous woman who reportedly lives in Dublin and who claims to be a Roman Catholic and to be “receiving spiritual guidance from the Catholic Church.”  Since some of the “messages” promote negative attitudes towards the teachings of the Second Vatican Council and of the Papacy, I have made further inquiry as to the “authenticity” of these alleged revelations.



Through the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, an inquiry was made of the Irish Catholic Conference to see if the Irish Bishops had issued any guidance.  Some of the Irish Bishops had no knowledge of these revelations and none had made any statements. However, since the individual uses a pseudonym and is anonymous, it is difficult to investigate.  However, there have been other statements made by other bishops. In particular, Bishop Mark Coleridge of Brisbane, Australia has stated: “I have examined some of these messages and found them to be patently fraudulent and corrosive of the true Christian faith as the Catholic Church teaches it.  The Alleged recipient of the messages operates anonymously and refuses to identify and present herself to local Church authority for a theological examination of the content of her messages. The messages contain certain theological and historical errors some of which fall within the category of bogus millenarianism, and they are more likely to provoke fear rather than the peace of the Spirit.  They play on elements of the Catholic Faith only to undermine it at its core.  Moreover, they are outrageous in their claims against Pope Francis.  Therefore, the messages of Maria Divine Mercy are not to be taken seriously, discussed or distributed within the Archdiocese of Brisbane.”



Additionally, both the National Catholic Register and New advent have posted negative evaluations of the Maria Divine Mercy revelations which can be found at http://www.ncregister.com/blog/jimmy-akin/9-things-you-need-to-know-about-maria-divine-mercy and http://blog.newadvent.org/2013/03/a-closer-look-at-false-prophecies-of.html  .



Given the fact that the Church has not yet pronounced on the authenticity of these “revelations”, and given the fact that more than one bishop has judged them to undermine the Catholic faith at its very core, I hereby prohibit the dissemination or promotion of Maria Divine Mercy materials in the Diocese of Portland. If anyone approaches you or you are aware of anyone in your parish that is speaking about or promoting these materials please make them aware of this prohibition.  This ban will be in effect, until such time as the “revelations” are authenticated by the Church. 



Thank you for your attention to this matter.  Thank you for your ministry to your parishioners and for your commitment and fidelity to the Church.



May God bless you with His peace.  Please know that you are in my prayers.



Yours sincerely in Christ,

Most Reverend Richard J. Malone

Apostolic Administrator of Portland

Bishop of Buffalo

MDM Leads to Grave Sin: Bishop Fabbro, London Diocese, Ontario, Canada


 Another bishop warns the faithful against following Maria Divine Mercy:

Message from PocketSketch

This letter from Bishop Fabbro of the London diocese is the first warning of a Canadian bishop against MDM. I heard rumors of it earlier but it was only today that I received a hard copy of it as it appeared in parish bulletins locally. It has not been officially posted on the diocesan website even though the excitement over this seer is not limited to the one small town mentioned in the message. A lay person, received an invitation to attend this meeting about Marie Divine Mercy which was slated for the feast day of the Assumption of Our Lady, August 15. Already familiar with her notoriety, she alerted a parish priest who then contacted his bishop. The meeting took place regardless, as it seems the notice came too late. The following is the bulletin insert:

Message of Bishop Fabbro

“Bishop Fabbro has been asked concerning a meeting about Maria Divine Mercy which is to take place at a house in Corunna on August 15, 2013.”

“Maria of Divine Mercy is a woman who chooses to remain anonymous and has made claims of alleged privation revelations. Bishop Fabbro warns Catholics of the diocese that Maria of Divine Mercy has not received the Church’s approval. Indeed, Catholic bishops who have studied her teachings have declared that they are heretical and have forbidden priests to be involved with or cooperate in matters associated with Maria of Divine Mercy. Her prophecies contain material that is both false and contrary to Catholic teaching. The faithful should know that adhering to her teachings can result in grave sin.”

“Bishop Fabbro warns Catholics that they should not be involved with Maria of Divine Mercy nor should they give credence to her messages.”

MDM is Wrong Again! Benedict Says God Told Him to Retire


I gave in to necessity and joined Facebook this spring for the purpose of reaching more Catholics to help them understand that the Maria Divine Mercy messages are a scam and they violate uncountable Catholic teachings. In my debates with MDMers, the one prophecy of which they were very proud was this one discussed below, because MDM "received" it exactly one year to the date of Pope Benedict XVI's retirement announcement. So it MUST be true, right? It said he would be "viciously ousted" from the Vatican and would have to "flee" Rome. However, this is not at all the case.  Pope Benedict Emeritus is happily living at the Vatican in full communion with Pope Francis. According to this article , Pope Benedict XVI said God told him to resign from his position as Vicar of Christ. The Maria Divine Mercy messages are FALSE and the ones I urge strongly to FLEE from them...are CATHOLICS as well as all others who love truth in faith.

Benedict says God told him to step down as pope






















(Globalpost/GlobalPost)

Vatican City, Aug 20 (EFE).- Benedict XVI said it was God who told him to resign the papacy, Catholic news agency Zenit reported Tuesday.
During one of the few private visits he has granted since his retirement, Benedict, when asked by one of those present why he took that decision, he answered "God told me to," according to Zenit.
It wasn't "any kind of apparition or any phenomenon like that," but rather it was "a mystical experience" in which Our Lord caused to grow in his heart "an absolute desire to remain alone with him, secluded in prayer," the former Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger said.

Benedict also commented during the meeting that the more he observes the "charisma" of his successor, Pope Francis, the more he realizes that his decision to resign the papacy was "the will of God."

During these meetings, Zenit said, the pope emeritus "does not make comments or reveal any secrets, he does not make statements that could seem to have the importance of words spoken by the other pope, but maintains the discretion that has always characterized him."
He said that at most, "he observes with satisfaction the marvels that the Holy Spirit is doing with his successor."

Pope to Consecrate World to Our Lady, October 13, 2013



"August 14, 2013. (Romereports.com) The statue of Our Lady of the Rosary of Fatima will travel all the way from Portugal to the Vatican, where Pope Francis is planning on consecrating the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.  

The 'Marian Day' ceremony, which is scheduled to take place at the Vatican on Sunday, October 13th, will be attended by hundreds of religious movements and institutions that have a special Marian devotion. This Mass is one of the last main events scheduled for the 'Year of Faith.' 


Even before that Mass, things will be busy at the Vatican. On Saturday October 12th, different prayer events are scheduled along with a pilgrimage to the tomb of St. Peter. Then on the 13th, Pope Francis will celebrate Mass in St. Peter's Square before thousands of faithful. 

The Statue of Our Lady will make its way to Rome, at the request of Pope Francis, who has shown a great devotion to Mary, since the very first day of his pontificate. 

The Statue will depart from the Shrine of Fatima on the morning of October 12th. It will make its way back in the afternoon of October 13th."

"William Kamm the Fragmented Pebble"

QUOTE OF THE DA
 

Excerpts from the article "William Kamm the Fragmented Pebble" by George G. Amad:
 
"I wanted to help warn people about this treacherous cult leader by writing my own article, which is only the tip of the iceberg. Graeme Webber, a young journalist with ethical concerns for in-depth reporting and social responsibility, plunged into the entire 360-degrees of Kamm's world, and left no stone ( or 'Pebble' ) unturned. Kamm's sordid and reprehensible world - of iniquitous socio-psychological, financial manipulations of millions of dollars, et cetera, - behind his sanctimonious façade, has been stripped, and fully exposed in Webber's book: 'a WOLF among the SHEEP' --   2.   An exposé which covers religious/ecclesiastic and secular perspectives for those genuinely concerned about serial paedophiles, and the proliferation of cults. "

"'BAYSIDE' APPRENTICESHIP.

In the early 1970s Kamm formed informal rosary groups dedicated to devotion to Mary ( B.V.M. ), in the suburbs of Sydney, Canberra and Wollongong, which, in 1987 (q.l.), he formalized as the 'Marian Work of Atonement, Ltd.' In the intervening 17-year period (q.l.) he had travelled twice to New York in the United States, first in 1978 and then in 1980, making brief visits to the controversial, and infamous, oracular organization known as 'Bayside,' 8. which had been established in 1968 (q.l.) by the canonically discredited Veronica Lueken. 
"WARNING

The late Bishop Francis Mugavero † ( 1914 - 91 ), the then Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn NY, made a 'Declaration Concerning the “Bayside Movement”', ( 4/11/1986 ). He stated: 
“No credibility can be given to the so-called "apparitions" reported by Veronica Lueken and her followers ... “Anyone promoting this devotion in any way, be it by participating in the "vigils," organizing pilgrimages, publishing or disseminating the literature related to it, is contributing to the confusion which is being created in the faith of God's people, as well as encouraging them to act against the determinations made by the legitimate pastor of this particular Church”. 9.

Notwithstanding Bishop Mugavero's earlier 'Declaration', Kamm continued his false pretensions, appropriating and disseminating Lueken's discredited falsehoods, and so-called "apparitions”. 
QUALIFIED “SEER” AND “POPE”.

Subsequent to Kamm's return to Australia, he metamorphosed into a soi-disant “seer”, 10. with self-given grandiose titles: “New Abraham”, 11. “Little Moses”, 12.“ last Pope”,  13.  “modern day prophet”  14. int. al. He began having his own “apparitions” beginning on 11 November, 1983 (q.v.)  15.   And from the Bayside blueprint established his own cult (1984), duplicating the prophetic and millenarian model he plagiarized from 'Bayside', disseminating well rehearsed Lueken's mélange of apocalyptic millenarian falsehoods, and “apparitions”; continuing these follies beyond 1986; notwithstanding Bishop Mugavero's 'Declaration'. An example of Kamm's sterile imagination occurred in December 1984 when he alleged that Jesus said: 
“I tell you most solemnly, my dear child, my Little Pebble of Love: it was on Peter the rock that I built my Church and it is upon you, the Pebble, that I will renew and save my Church”. 16.

Sixteen years later, in October 2000, he claimed to have received:
 
“revelations” with “...some four hundred other mystics throughout the Church ... that I [ he ] will be the Pope and not the next one but the last one...” brackets mine ]; 17.  and “the new Abraham”. 18.

Kamm would face fierce opposition from several other contenders for the papal leadership, e.g., David Allen Bawden ( or “Pope Michael I” ), Delia Kansas U.S., and Manuel Alonso Corral ( “Pope Peter II” ), of Palmaria Spain. 
Kamm began his cult on a 10-hectare property, to become known as 'Gethsemane', in Cambewarra, west of Nowra NSW. On 2 February 1984 he assumed the alias “Little Pebble”, and began expanding his activities globally. He accumulated numerous “seers” within his network. Webber lists sixteen adults and fifteen children of the Cambewarra constellation, and five outside the compound, and a further twenty-four in fifteen other countries. 19. Furthermore, Webber in his footnotes [ in part ] says: 
“Neither Kamm nor any purported seers from Cambewarra have been recognised as such by the mainstream Church”, and that the “...list is only a small selection; hundreds of seers from virtually every continent have exchanged Messages with The Little Pebble”. 20.

In the following year ( 1985 ) Kamm formally established his cult naming it the 'Order of Saint Charbel'"...  Read entire article:   Father's Home Page

MDM: Jesus Doubted His Divinity


Wisdom by PocketSketch
In the March 24, 2013 message Jesus revealed to M-DM how Satan tormented Him during His Agony in the Garden. Apparently, Jesus saw the power Satan will enjoy despite His death on the Cross. One could argue that his power was greatly diminished, even crushed, after the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Jesus but we can put that aside for the time being. For now, let us focus on the following purported statement of this Jesus of M-DM.

“SO POWERFUL IS SATAN THAT HE PLANTED DOUBTS IN MY MIND ABOUT BEING THE SON OF MAN.”

Can anyone believe that Jesus ever lost sight of who He is? Does anyone believe the omnipotent Son of God was ever so powerless? The fact is, Jesus could never “doubt” His divinity. Jesus was tempted at the beginning and at the end of His public ministry but He never showed a moment of weakness before Satan and as the Son of Man was always in full control, never doubting Himself or His mission for a moment. When Jesus assumed human nature He never ceased to be LORD. This is the faith we have received.

So what does Scripture teach about doubt? In this example from St. James, doubt is in the context of a weak faith. “HE WHO DOUBTS IS LIKE A WAVE OF THE SEA THAT IS DRIVEN and TOSSED BY THE WIND. For that person must not suppose that a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways, will receive anything from the Lord.” James1:6-8

No good Catholic believes that Jesus was “a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.” This preposterous statement by M-DM is an insult to the authentic Jesus who “is to be acknowledged in two natures {human and divine} without confusion, change, division or separation.” Council of Chalcedon in 451. Yet again we have someone who is disturbing the faithful with a “different gospel” than the one we received. This is mindless drivel which has no basis in Sacred Scripture and is one more good reason not to believe a word from this fictitious Jesus of M-DM.

Followers of W2C, put your faith in the true light of Jesus Christ who preached out in the open and shun this Jesus who dwells in the shadows of anonymity.

St. Joseph, Patron of departing souls, pray for me. Amen.
