Technically this just IS the consecration of Russia because Ukraine belongs to Russia 😎

“unless pope francis does the consecration to Russia with all the bishops in the world balancing a glass of chocolate milk on his head while reciting the bikini bottom national anthem it doesn’t count 😤”

in all seriousness the Pope announcing an intention to specifically consecrate Russia to the Immaculate Heart (even if he is including ukraine separately) is a huge deal and we should pray that this brings about the conversion and peace Our Lady of Fatima said would result from this being done

How do some Catholics especially who are trying to guilt trip everyone into supporting Ukraine not understand this?

If Ukraine:
- Refuses to implement the Minsk Accords (1 & 2)
-Refuses to relinquish Donbass or Crimea
-Refuses to give up on NATO membership
-Refuses to surrender this unwinnable war
-Will not accept neutrality
-Continue to push NATO for a no-fly zone (WWIII)

Who is really responsible for the death and destruction???

at this point if you’re still defending Zelensky you’re either hopelessly stupid or have zero moral integrity

and if you’re Catholic (looking at people like Matt Fradd) you really should know better

there’s absolutely no way our just war tradition would fall on the side of Zelensky and the West

“Saint Patrick’s Breastplate” prayer
Very powerful for these times!

LFG

tradcaths who impulsively became sedes under Francis are probably feeling extremely conflicted now that despite all his faults Francis is the only Pope poised to do the consecration of Russia correctly according to Our Lady of Fatima’s request

God certainly has a sense of humor

one thing that makes Catholicism unique is that every facet of human nature is reflected in the heavenly order of grace:
birth (baptism)
rites of passage (confirmation)
food and sustenance (Eucharist)
family (sacrament of marriage),
redemption (penance)
friendships (communion of Saints)
a hierarchical political and social order (episcopacy and papacy),
timekeeping (liturgical year)
ritual (liturgical rites)
sacrifice (the Mass)
language (sacred languages),
passion (sacramentals and affective devotions)
intellect (the deposit of Faith as divinely protected by the Magisterium), etc

Nothing that is most essentially human is left out of the Incarnate Son of God, so likewise is nothing essentially human left out of His Mystical Body, the Church

if you call yourself a “traditional catholic” but can’t even bring yourself to praise Pope Francis for performing the Consecration and singling out Russia, the one thing trads have been obsessed over for decades, you are putting your reflexive antipathy towards Pope Francis before your moral duty to be a faithful son of the Church

honestly you should repent if this describes you

if God did not love you, you wouldn’t exist. simple as.
