"....how long can Church officials speak about the 'positive values' of 'irregular relationships' until the average Catholic comes to believe that we no longer believe the words of Jesus that fornicators, adulterers, and those who actively practice homosexuality will not enter the kingdom of God unless they repent? How many still believe that there is really a hell and that, unless we repent from such serious sins before we die, we will go there? Have we ever heard from leading churchmen, even in Rome, in recent years, that adultery, fornication and homosexual relations are not only 'irregular,' but gravely sinful? Has the creeping 'universalism' (the belief that virtually everyone will be saved) so undermined the holy fear of God and belief in His clear word, which has been transmitted faithfully all these centuries and is found intact in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, that people have become 'understanding' about persisting in grave sin with no fear of God or of hell?....
"I'm beginning to see why the Lord has impressed on me so strongly in the past year the urgent need to heed the appeals of Our Lady of Fatima. Indeed, as Mary said,
"'Pray, pray very much, and make sacrifices for sinners; for many souls go to hell, because there are none to sacrifice themselves and to pray for them.'
"Let's continue to pray and offer sacrifices for the conversion of sinners and as reparation for sin, and let's pray the rosary daily as Mary requested, for peace in the world and true renewal in the Church."
