“I hear around me innovators who wish to dismantle the Sacred Chapel, destroy the universal flame of the Church, reject her ornaments, and make her remorseful for her historical past. Well, my dear friend, I AM CONVINCED THAT THE CHURCH OF PETER MUST AFFIRM HER PAST, OR ELSE SHE WILL DIG HER OWN GRAVE.”
- Pope Ven. Pius XII.

Devotion to the souls in Purgatory contains in itself all the works of mercy, which supernaturalized by a spirit of faith, should merit us Heaven. de Sales
Re: Wise Words Spoken
good saying
but the church cannot 'dig her own grave'
She always under the protection of the Holy Spirit
who guides her throughout history for God's greater plan.
Past indiscretions or questionable Popes are sometimes permitted
for instruction purposes....to show that the agenda of the Pope
or cardinals or others, were not part of God's plan
If he permits it, it is for instructional purposes.
Prayers for the conclave that the new Pope realises
his real duty to God and the Church / people, listening
to the Spirit for guidance and being open to God's plan
