Pope Urban IIβs speech to initiate the First Crusade

Forwarded from Pope Leo XIV
The Catholic Church annually celebrates the feast of the Queenship of Mary on Aug. 22. by β₯ Pope Francis
The clearest scriptural indication that Mary of Nazareth is a queen is a remarkable passage in the 12th chapter of the Book of Revelation. The visionary author sees an extraordinary sign in the sky: a woman clothed with the sun, the moon at her feet, and a coronet of 12 stars on her head.
Twelve, of course, is a designation of the tribes of Israel, and the crown is a rather unambiguous indication that we are dealing with a royal figure. It soon becomes clear that this woman is not only a queen but, more precisely, a queen mother, for we hear that she is laboring to give birth to a king, one who is βdestined to rule the nations with an iron rod.β
Both the queen mother and the infant king are involved in a terrible struggle. The visionary tells us that a fearsome dragon is poised to devour the baby as soon as it comes forth. But God sweeps the child up and brings him to the safety of the divine throne, while the mother flees to the desert where she finds refuge. In the wake of this, a war breaks out between βMichael and his angelsβ and the dragon and his angelic supporters.
This image indicates that the queen and her kingly son are protagonists in a spiritual warfare of some magnitude. They are, in a word, warriors.
Those who have experienced a Jesuit retreat based upon the spiritual exercises of St. Ignatius will recognize the βtwo standardsβ meditation. Ignatius asks the retreatant to imagine a great field of battle. Arrayed on one side, under the standard of the Church, is the army of Christ; and on the other, under the standard of Satan, is the army of the dark powers. Then Ignatius compels the retreatant to make a decision, the most fundamental and important choice imaginable: Which army will you join?
Since the creation of the world GOD has placed enmity between the army of the Woman and the army of the devil:
βInimicitias ponam inter te et mulierem
et semen tuum et semen illius;
ipsum conteret caput tuum,
et tu conteres calcaneum eiusβ. (Liber Genesis 3:15, NOVA VULGATA)
JESUS ββhimself tells us who the seeds than bear fruit are in this Gospel's passage: Luke 8:4-15
The feast of the Queenship of Mary has to do with this choice: With whose army do you fight? Do you march under the banner of the Queen Mother and her Son, or with their enemies? Source

When people ask me βwhy do you hate the Protestants?β read their history
They were collaborators for the Muslims,jews and pagans
They butchered and belittled Catholics at every opportunity
They massacred and starved our Irish brethren
They treated different races as sub humans
They helped establish the false state of βisraelβ
They misuse scripture
They promote ancient heresy
They mock the Church
They insult Our Blessed Mother
They blasphemed Christ and His teachingβs
Desecrated the Most Holy Eucharist
The question isnβt why am I anti Protestant
The real question is why arenβt you?

In my old school when a shooter shot up a
gay club the school the next day they were immediate in their response
They condemned the attack and asked for a moment of silence
Then a tranny shot Christian children
The next dayβ¦Nothing
No words condemning the attack
No moments of silence
A few day went by and they eventually did it but the fact it wasnβt immediate still struck my nerve

CCC 963 Since the Virgin Mary's role in the mystery of Christ and the Spirit has been treated, it is fitting now to consider her place in the mystery of the Church. "The Virgin Mary . . . is acknowledged and honored as being truly the Mother of God and of the redeemer. . . . She is 'clearly the mother of the members of Christ' . . . since she has by her charity joined in bringing about the birth of believers in the Church, who are members of its head."502 "Mary, Mother of Christ, Mother of the Church."503
