Isn't It Time For The Proclamation of The Fifth Marian Dogma

 The Lady of All Nations”

or
The Mother of All Nations”

 Previous Apparitions of Our Lady, The Blessed Mother

•  Lady of Guadeloupe
• In 1531 Our Lady of Guadeloupe appeared to a devout but humble peasant named Juan Diego. she asked for a church to be built on Tepeyac Hill, Mexico City, nad gave juan diego a sign in the form of her image on his rolled up tilma. As he unrolled the tilmain frnt of the bishop, after the bishop had asked Juan for a sign, roses spilled out and the image of our lady of guadalupe was contained or emblazoned on it. The tilma attracts thousands of pilgrims to the basilica in Mexico city where it hangs undecided ever since

•  Our Lady of Fatima  who called herself Our Lady of the Rosary appeared to three peasant children in Portugal 7 times. She told these humble children to pray the rosary and do other things to pray for sinners for many will perish due to sins of the flesh. She also warned of Russia but that Russia could be converted

•  Our Lady of Lourdes appeared to a poor peasant, fourteen-year-old, Bernadette Soubiroux The first apparition occurred February 11, 1858. There were eighteen in all; the last took place July 16, of the same year. 
• On December 8, 1854, Pope Pius IX proclaimed the dogma of the Immaculate Conception in the apostolic constitution Ineffabilis Deus. A little more than three years later, on February 11, 1858, a young lady appeared to Bernadette Soubirous. This began a series of visions. During the apparition on March 25, the lady identified herself with the words: “I am the Immaculate Conception.” 

•  On March 25, 1945 Our Lady appeared in Amsterdam to Ida Peerdeman (†1996).This was the first of 56 apparitions, which took place between 1945 and 1959.
•  On May 31, 2002, the local bishop came to the conclusion that the apparitions of Amsterdam are of supernatural origin. Our Lady appears under a new title, “The Lady of All Nations” or “The Mother of All Nations”. In this time she wants to be made known and loved by everyone under this title.In a prophetic way, she gives, above all, an impressive insight about the situation in the Church and in the world.see http://www.de-vrouwe.info/en/

Marian Dogmas of the Catholic Church

 Up to this point in history, the Church has proclaimed four “dogmas” or solemnly pronounced doctrines about the Virgin Mary:
1) that Mary is the Mother of God (Council of Ephesus, 431);
2) that she is a Perpetual Virgin (Lateran Council, 649);
3) that Mary was conceived without original sin, or her “Immaculate Conception” (Bl. Pius IX, 1854); and
4) that she was assumed body and soul into heaven, or her “Assumption” (Pius XII, 1950).

The Fifth Marian Dogma

The last major doctrine about Mary is her role as Spiritual Mother of all peoples under its three motherly aspects as Co-redemptrix, Mediatrix of all graces, and Advocate, which is already the official teachings of the popes, or the “Papal Magisterium.” What then would be the benefit of a solemn proclamation of a “fifth dogma” of Mary’s spiritual motherhood by the Holy Father?


In the world today and particularly within the United States of America we are living through an unprecedented time of atheism and an attack on God himself. Justice has become secondary to Tolerance. Justice has become the rule of society and of law. We see this in the murder of the unborn even the expansion of abortion beyond the third trimester, which the supreme Court had once made the dividing line between legal and illegal murder of children in the womb. Many babies are now free to be terminated up to the last days of pregnancy and even outside the womb. We are now seeing the harvesting of tiny infant organs for "scientific" purposes.

The attack on Christian truths does not just end with abortion. Make no mistake about it the  Catholic Church is the standard of Christian values being the Church that Jesus personally founded. We see the Holy Spirit ignored in the daily lives of a great many people in this country and around the world. 

Christian values once a very deep part of the American culture are being attacked by revisionist historians who deny the role of God in the lives of our founders and the formation of our nation. Revisionist history seeks to re-write American history in a manner that is not reflective of the true nature of the lives of our founders and the values which they instilled in writing in our deceleration of Independence and our Constitutions. 

This rebellion against God has it's roots in the protestant Re-formation, for the ideal of the separation of church and state was to rid the colonies and the new Unitied States of America from a state sponsored religion, ie, the Church of England ruled by the King of England as a false Pope. The idea of a monarch setting himself up as the head of a nations church is not a new one in hstory  as the emperors of Rome sought to do the same thing during thier time. These monarch  of Rome sought to set themselves as divine  and the punishment for Christians or at that time followers of the way for not acknowledging the Emperor as Father as God was death, often times death by being feed to animals as entertainment for the Masses.

The founding fathers were great students of history as well as God fearing men most were protestans of some sort, but all in their writings and actions acknowledged the existence of Jesus Christ, God the Father and the role of the Holy spirit in the winning of our freedom.

Those revisionists who deny this thinking of out founding and our founding fathers rely on individual tracts or pieces of writing which do not give an entire picture of the mind and thus the souls of our founders -- the mind being an aspect a manifestation of our souls.

So these days we see the onslaught of atheism in competition with Christian values and supported by the revisionist historians as evidence that the separation of church and state meant that God wsa to be kept out of our government institution, when in fact it was an insurance and an assurance theat a state religion as the Church of England would be established here in the Uinited states. This removal of God from our institution can be seen as nothing more than the evil one taking advantage of the passage of time to subvert and corrupt the meaning and the validity of our institutions and Americans as a god believing and fearing people grateful to God for our foundation. It is an attack by the evil one on the very foundation of the United States of America. 

The atheists thought that would subvert our national values are not really atheists at all for human beings  cannot absorb such a concept as atheism. Atheists are worshipers of the human mind. Th trick of the evil one here is to postulate that since God cannot be completely understand or proven by human logic then he cannot exist, and thus many are moved to assert their right to worship their own minds by removing religious and Christian affiliations for our government institutions. 

There are other attacks on Christian values that have seemed to have on of vethe united dstates of America in promoting the value of tolerance over the value of justice. For example the Te government's usurpation of the institution of marriage. Marriage is a product of the Christian religion it's history is in the sacrament of Holy Matrimony honored only be the Catholic church. For the government to claim marriage as an instrument of government and an institution of government and thus a right as defined by the bill of rights in the US Constitution  is not based on hsotrical fact. the insitution of marriage is also a proof of the religous and chritian nature of the untred sates of america. Marriage was never intended as a right, it was not addressedd during the enlightenment period when it was determined by The thoughts guided by God himself that humanity was endowed with rights because they were human beings created by God and thus were are equal in the eyes of God. A careful reading of the Deceleration of Independence signed by pout founding fathers reveals this truth of God centered human beings and a God centered nation.

The difference between an atheist and a God centered human is that the atheists believe there own thoughts are god, wile the God centered human through faith the certain knowledge of the spritual realm knows that thoughts  as faith an intellectual ability are gifts of go9d driven Because an atheist cannot prove God in his/ her own mind the conclusion is that God doesn't exists. The logical fallacy in this should be obvious to the atheist in that the creature is not greater then the Creator therefore, no creature would have the ability to unsdrstand or prove God to the created mind. Unless the created mind were God. Atheists see their minds as their gods and they love and worship their own thoughts. This is trickery of the evil one and a play on, as all sin, the pride of an individual.

As Catholic we readily acknowledge this right relationship between God the Creator and ourselves the created, we do this by doing those things he said to do even those sacraments He instituted as mysteries.  We do them even though we don't understand them.  It may be said here that most likely do to Luther's pride there's a bit of the atheist in all protestants as they refuse to "eat His flesh and drink His blood" but rather see these things as a symbolic gestures rather than literal mysteries from God.

So there is sin in the untited states and in the world, and in the Church. We are not off the hool for the scandal that Jeusus prohesied inMatt 18 Yes, Jesus prophesied the infiltration of the evil one even into the church via the childhood sexual abuse scandal.

Matthew 18New International Version (NIV)

The Greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven

18 At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who, then, is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”

² He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them. ³ And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. ⁴ Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. ⁵ And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me.

Causing to Stumble

⁶ “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. ⁷ Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to stumble! Such things must come, but woe to the person through whom they come! ⁸ If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life maimed or crippled than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal fire. ⁹ And if your eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell.


These are powerful words of Our Lord, and when I speak as a sexual abuse survivor to my survivor friends, I often quote them for no other spiritual leader in no other Holy book speaks up for us survivors. Jesus does this in-spite of the church and her sins. Jesus warned his bishops of this very scandal and what is more told them what to do about it.

The Church must cleanse the temple ad keep it cleansed from evil men who would go so far as to go to seminary and put on collar so they could gain access to victimes to molest. This is the proper way of looking at the sexual abuse scandal. There is no "treatment" there is no changing  of these evil perpetrators, and besides perpetrators have been focused on far too long by the church. It is the survivors that deserve our ministering, and we deserve a clean temple cleansed of evil men who would go so far as to go to seminary and put on  a collar so they could gain access to child to victim.

Childhood sexual abuse is an evil as profound as abortion and the Church must be able to understand this he damage done to victims without the right therapy, healing is deep profound and leads to a life dominated by undeserved consequences. The Church must take the lead in not only cleansing the temple and keeping it cleansed and safe for survivors bur stand squarely with survivors and survivors alone  and turn perpetrators to the civilian authorities at once.

Sexual abuse survivors join the victims of abortion as the holy innocents of our time and it is time th church saw things as they are. Aborted children are murdered in the womb, sexual abuse survivors are buried alive.

The family is nor sacred -- the Church is. The family  and family activists should be monitored and sexual abuse indeed abuse of any sot toward a child must be revealed and the perpetrators turned over to civilian authorities when they are clergy, parents grandparents uncles coaches etc, the list goes on and oin. In the Synod on the family the second such synod this non sanctity of the family and the supreme sanctity of the Church should be proclaimed.

So therefore, there is a real need for the proclamation of a fifth Marian dogma. 

Then we have the slaughter throughout the world of Christians my Islam. The failure of Russia to respect us.

We also have a government who is willing to let Christians be slaughtered around the world rather than protect our religious freedom, which is what the founders had in mind when they wrote the Constitution.

There is a need to  pray the rosary and urge the pope to proclaim the fith Marian Dogma.

This May Be The Most Important And Christ Like Man of the 20th and 21st Centuries

Thich (Thay) Nhat Hanh may be the most important figure of the last two centuries and the most Christ like, though he is a zen Buddhist. My love and admiration for this man cannot be explained save by faith, God, spiritual intuition --The Holy Spirit.  I have never met this man. I have read few of his books and yet I can say that I love him. 

I highly recommend that every Christian read his book "Peace Is Every Step."

Being Catholic I have refrained from mention him. His status if that is the right word is pn a par with the Pope and the Dali Lama, but one would never know this. He has managed to be famous, but really almost unnoticed and untouched by the corruption that is the mainstream media. 

Perhaps his greatest contribution to spirituality to region to Christians and non-christians  yes even to atheists is the concept of inter-being. In modern secular cynical terms inter-being can be thought of as co dependence that which the pop-psycholgists eschew, Thay promotes. That which the Pop_psychologists say does harm, Thay says does good. that which the pop-psychologists say will destroy us, Thay says is our saving grace. 

We inter-be we are and are meant to be co-dependent.  Thay expresses inter-being in such simple terms that it is transcendent it applies not just to spirituality nor human relationships but also the relationship with our planet. In the simplicity and this is paradoxical with zen and one of the aspects of zen that so attracts me in it's simplicity it is profound and transcendent. He describes the simple fact of writing on a piece of paper. The ink is not my own it was produced  by others perhaps on the other side of the world the paper was once a tree if not for others it would not be absorbing the ink I place on it now the desk the chair the lamp the very electricity all are from others all are interdependent and in fact all will hold this form this meaning the words I write on it only for a short time and even the act of distributing the words that translate into ideas in the minds of others is inter-being. We do, we are nothing alone. 

What I have taken from Thay's words and the idea of inter-being as a christian is that we are all here on this planet at this point in time with each other by divine appointment each and every single one of us could be or not be here at this time could have been born at and earlier time or later time but no God has put each and everyone of us who is here now ... well ... here now.  We need to act and treat each other and the planet in this manner we inter-are. 

So as Christians when we speak of ourselves as brothers and sisters, what is it we are saying we are here on this planet with each other at this time by divine appointment we inter -are. 

In Matt 22:36-39 Jesus says “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 37 And he said to him, g“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And ha second is like it: iYou shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 jOn these two commandments depend kall the Law and the Prophets.”

Thay Calls it inter-being. And who are our neighbors if not those people with whom we share this planet at this time by divine appointment. 

When Jesus tells us in Matt 25:31-46 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, jthen he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 Before him kwill be gathered lall the nations, and mhe will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates nthe sheep from the goats. 33 And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left. 34 Then othe King will say to pthose on his right, ‘Come, you qwho are blessed by my Father,rinherit sthe kingdom tprepared for you ufrom the foundation of the world. 35 For vI was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and youwgave me drink, xI was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36 vI was naked and you clothed me, yI was sick and you zvisited me, aI was in prison and you came to me.’ 37 Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? 38 And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? 39 And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ 40 And bthe King will answer them, c‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these dmy brothers,6 you did it to me.’

41 “Then he will say to those on his left, e‘Depart from me, youfcursed, into gthe eternal fire prepared for hthe devil and his angels.42 For iI was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’44 Then they also will answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?’ 45 Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, jyou did not do it to me.’ 46 And these will go away kinto eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

Thay says we inter are we inter-be. We are all here on this planet at this point in history with each other by divine appointment and we should treat each other as codependent as if we depend on each other because we do. The hungry depend on the fed for food, and the corollary is also true this is inter-being the fed depend on the hungry for food,  if we ate to take Matt 25:31-46 seriously which as Chrsitians we had better.  

During the war in Vietnam Thay was a zen master -- the head of a monastery --- in protest against the violence although against Thay's specific commands to the contrary more than one monk sat in the middle of the street dowsed himself with gasoline and set himself afire to protest the killing.  

To Thay and the other monks the sides did not matter the killing the destruction of this beautiful country the heart of every Vietnamese must stop  there is no reason to support such violence. That is the essence of inter-being as well as love thy neighbor. There is no cause worthy of such violence on another with whom we share this time on this planet by divine appointment. That is not why we are here. That is not why we be. 

Certain things, injustices evoke anger a normal human emotion and perfectly valid as long as expressed appropriately. To deny our emotions to repress them is mental illness not mental health how can this be spiritual?

All human emotions are neither good not bad the just are. They are part of our humanity. To repress our anger or any other human emotion is mental illness not mental health.  It is their expression that can get nasty and that includes the expression of compassion. Compassion is putting oneself with the other, not leading not directing but co-passionate feeling the feeling as another human this is compassion 

For example when Thay describes his war experience in Vietnam this beautiful and peaceful land that is home to him with all that that word home means. I can sit with him and be co-passionate. Human to human.

 I can share the experience of the emotions including anger and frustration at the destruction of home. I do not have to give advice, assuage his frustration, his anger. I can just sit and feel. I can experience the emotions he experiences. We are inter-being.. 

For me to deny and repress even through meditation the reality of the emotion of anger I would not be able to sit with him, which from reading his words I have. I have sat with Thay in co-passion many times. He has given me that gift. Even though I have never met him personally. Yet he is everywhere. Not as God, but as humanity. And I thank him for being. Pax Ghristi. Thich Nhat Hanh means a great deal to me and his being has influenced my life. 

I will not mediate away my humanity. I used to give away copies of "Peace Is Every Step" to my friends. I never knew if they quite got from it what I did, but I would write on the inside cover -- "This Book Changes Lives"

 Pax Christi means Peace of Christ. my brothers and sisters. I can feel Thay now, what a great joy to share in his humanity all of it the fullness of the gift of humanity. Who is the teacher and who is the student? I do not know. Does it matter? I wish I could take his pain away as we Americans delivered it and rebuild his country as he sees it for us all to enjoy. I hear it is very beautiful.

We he and I are loving each other s Christ commanded as neighbors, as inter beings, ,even though we have never met. This is inter-being. There is a reason we all share this planet at this particular time we are here for each other we inter-be,. We are here to love and be loved. 

For me to deny our humanity even those emotions which some consider to be unpleasant is to set up barriers to inter-being to loving my neighbor.  For how can I love my neighbor, how can I inter-be with him how can I be co-passionate, if I deny his humanity, his human emotions.

As an incest survivor some evil people tried to steal my humanity. They only succeed in corrupting the outer layers of me. These outer layers of pain and betraylk unspeakable hoooror and terror are very difficult to break through to my inner self. But that inner self remains as it al;ways has. They could not corrupt my soul my humanity. 

War trauma as Thay has experienced and many others even our own veterans is from the outside in but still can corrupt the self in a fashion similar to the trauma of childhood Sexual abuse. 

The trauma of childhood sexual abuse this violent raping of me over and over again by all the adults in my life all of them, the only ones I had to turn to, at such an early age between 4 and 9 on a continuous basis corrupts from the inside out. It left me unwhole, I did not have a chance to develop wholeness. That is what I work on becoming whole from the inside out.. From my perspective the perspective of the inner uncorrupted self with the EGO, the seat of my hopes, dreams and aspirations intact, I can see the importance of emotion and processing them. As Thay called it in one of his books "cooking my potatoes,"  Cooking my potatoes means processing my emotions the parts of me that were corrupted until they are cooked/processed and I am whole. 

Emotions are part of  the fabric of our lives and are neither good or bad they just are. Emotions are a part of all of us woven into our inter-being.  I must learn to be inner to love myself as I love my neighbor. To love myself as I love Thay. 

  I am in deep pain right now. recent events have hurt me deeply,. I am learning to break through this pain. It is real and the events the evoked the pain are real, but it is also from those who attempted to corrupt me the real me the true me the inner me the very me of me. This inner being remains intact and will emerge at that time I will be whole again. I wil have cooked my potatoes. 

I hope the same for Thay and for Vietnam. 

Pax Christi Thay..

John Paul II spoke en cathedra of anonymous Christians. Thich Nhat Hanh is certainly one of these. He may in his humility and love be even greater than John Paul the Great.
