Questions from Ladies of the Lord

Edited

• Why is God allowing this time of spiritual blindness, political chaos and suffering?

• How do we KNOW we are doing God's Will?

• If Obama gets in again what will that mean for the Catholic Church? Will that cause the final divide which the Media has done such a 'smashing' job in creating? Will the "True" Church grow small and holier as the bigger one who obeys "Caesar" emerges?

• When the Blessed Mother visits here in her apparitions it is usually to warn about a coming disaster, as in Fatima and Kibeho. Since she cannot lie, why do we not listen? Why isn't her word enough for us? Do you think she is the "Bridge" between Muslims and Christians?

• Why don't many of the priests and nuns in the West follow the directives of the Pope? Isn't that a grave sin and in doing so aren't they leading many on the road to perdition?

• At least 2 generations made their confirmations with little or no understanding of the Real Presence in the Eucharist. Do you think this has contributed to the lack of use of sacrament of confession and for a great many leaving the Catholic Church?

• Why is confession not spoken about more from the pulpit and why is there such a short time to go? It's usually 3-3:30 on a Saturday.

• Could you possibly say something about the reason the Media is so bent on bringing down the Catholic Church?

• Renée: A great topic for discussion would be one regarding the books of the Catholic Bible that are missing from the Protestant Bibles. I have had discussions about them with co-workers and it is a difficult topic. It seems that the Catholics claim the books have been there all along and were taken out by the Protestant churches in the 1500s. Then some Protestants claim that they were only added in that century at the Council of Trent. Some say the books are relevant and others say they are not. It's all quite confusing.

• Sarah: In Mark 6, it says that Jesus "was amazed" at the lack of faith that he found in Nazareth. Was that a characteristic trait of the people of Nazareth, or was this just a response to Jesus on that occasion? In other words, did they have a reputation for being skeptical or hard-hearted prior to this event?

• Sarah: How could Jesus send the spirits into 2000 pigs? Pigs don't have human souls, so it seems that they couldn't be occupied by demons. Could animals in the present day be inhabited by evil spirits?

Divine Mercy

• Could you explain Divine Mercy and the importance of it? In St. Faustina's Diary it says the spark that will ignite the world will come from Poland. Do you think that spark is referring to Pope John Paul II, St. Faustina, or the work of Divine Mercy?

Holy Orders

• What was the special designation that Msgr. Rupert received last year?
• Do you go from being a priest to being a Bishop?
• Is our Bishop retiring?
