It is a very ill sign when we desire signs to make us believe in God. The signs which we demand to fortify our faith are often marks of our infidelity. There is not a more dangerous plague in the events of worldly affairs than to deal with the devils or to play with predictions. All these things fill men with more faults than knowledge. For divine oracles have more need to be reverenced than interpreted. He that will find God must seek him with simplicity and possess him with piety. - Fr. Nicolas Caussin, S.J.

Two Destructive Hurricanes just after the Eclipse? Another one on the way.....
ReplyDeleteSometimes I think you ignore the obvious
Fake news. What?
DeleteHey.... Famitaista Christopher A. Ferrara calls you and your blog dysfunctional exercises in attention-getting....
Deletehttp://www.fatimaperspectives.com/oc/perspective1077.asp
LOL!
I checked out your link - he's above reading blogs like this - there must be another one more important who wrote about him, for him to reference it. I'm so not interested in feeding the beast or turf building - I don't try to build or keep a small or large audience. If indeed he was referring to me, that's fine too.
DeleteHe and Fr. Gruner can't be considered reliable authorities on Fatima - the Holy See holds that position.
BTW - I do agree with you, I am guilty of avoiding the obvious. Which is another reason not to read me! Yay!
you're still one of my muses! that's why I always come back
DeleteFerrara is too important to name names of a lowly blogger - but I think he is referring to AKA Catholic Louie.
What about Katia?
ReplyDeleteWho is Katia?
DeleteOh, okay - Katia. It doesn't count because it won't affect the United States. What?

DeleteI tried kale once I don't like it....tastes like seaweed....
DeleteI like kale and seaweed.
DeleteI just looked up the most active hurricane years - 1950 and 2005 and 2010 rank right up there - 11, 12,and 15 hurricanes per year, respectively. So named, strong storms and hurricanes can and do train in some years.
