News flash page for Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice

Based on the requests of the Sacred Heart of Jesus to St Margaret Mary, and on the writings of the world famous Apostle of the Sacred Heart, Fr Mateo Crawley-Boevey SS.CC, the Sacred Heart Nightly Devotion is being relaunched as a means of making reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and to win graces and blessings for our families and for society in these perilous times, when the family and Christian values are under attack more than ever.
Night adoration consists of family members giving up one hour a month in between the hours of 9pm and 5am, to make a Holy Hour of Reparation within the home. They simply let us know which hour and which day of the month they wish to make the Holy Hour, and we will send them a reminder via e-mail, to help them keep their commitment.
As well as the normal intentions Father Mateo had suggested, we have added one for the UK. That is, "The creation of good Catholic schools for both genders, upholding all Catholic values."

A leaflet is available from the web site below:

The wesite has been translated into Spanish and French as well.

God bless,

"The Church must use the Shepherd's rod to protect the Faith against those who falsify it . . . true love will not allow Heresy to spread and the Faith to be twisted and chipped away as it were something we ourselves had invented".
- Benedict XVI

A major factor in home-schooling is the expense – and this petition is an attempt to get funding, among other things, to help parents choose homeschooling.

During the recent Ad Limina Visit, the Holy Father announced his forthcoming trip to the UK, possibly sometime in September 2010. Sadly there is already opposition headed by the Secular Society of Great Britain to this visit. The Secular Society have submitted to Downing Street an online petition which has attracted over 25,000 signatures.

You are asked to visit the website below and sign the supporting petition as we welcome the Holy Father to our country.

Please support this and spread it to others who may not know, by e-mail, word of mouth, put it in your local newsletter, whatever, I am sure we could beat their number if we try.

By August 28th 2010 this petition contained 30,871 supporters for the Pope's visit.

God Bless

DAPHNE McLEOD'S RECENT SERIES ON EWTN

“DISCOVERING OUR GLORIOUS FAITH ”

is now available on DVDs from EWTN.

Almighty God - The Blessed Trinity - Sanctifying Grace - Ourselves in God's Image - Our Lady - The Church - the Bible Promise of a Redeemer - Jesus' Life on Earth - The Blessed Sacrament - The Moral Law - The Sacramental System - Our Life of Prayer - the Four Last Things.

This series is designed to help parents, teachers and catechists present the truths of the Faith to their charges. It is also being used in parishes as an Adult Education Course and by priests instructing converts.

To purchase the set of four discs containing thirteen 30 minute talks, visit the EWTN web-site ( www.ewtn.com) click on to Religious Catalogue and then on the option called Quick Shop at the foot of the page and enter order Number #HDDOGF - or telephone 001 800 854 6316

It is now possible to place online orders for a small experimental range of publications at the Pro Ecclesia shop, using the "Pro Ecclesia Shop" button on the left. During this exploratory phase, payments can only be accepted by sterling cheques payable to Pro Ecclesia Et Pontifice.

A whistleblower reveals the inside story of the betrayal of Catholic children by our Catholic education establishment . . . and names those responsible.

This remarkable book by Daphne McLeod is now once more available and at the bargain price of £2.50 including p & p.

We are praying that all the bishops of England and Wales will recognise this crisis and each take full responsibility for the proper teaching of the Faith in the schools, parishes and seminaries that he, and he alone, is answerable for in his diocese;

• that our bishops will maintain complete obedience to the Holy Father;

• that our bishops will exercise the powers of their office to defend their flocks against heretics, apostates, false prophets and teachers;

• that our bishops will use their authority to correct errors and false teaching;

• that our bishops will foster the spiritual lives of their flocks by word and example.

As failure to do this for the last forty years has caused the ‘genuine crisis' our Rosary crusade could be enough to resolve it, for as St Thomas of Canterbury wrote in a letter to the bishops of England and Wales in 1170,

“God gives no harvest unless what the bishop plants is the Faith of Peter and unless he himself assents to Peter's teaching” .

We suggest that everyone pledges ten Rosaries at least for this intention and those who can manage more, add all they can. We hope to set up a place on our web-site to record your pledges and of course pledges can be sent to us by post. We would like to present the Bishops of England and Wales with this Spiritual Bouquet when they meet next November so you have plenty of time to be really generous.

To tell us of your pledge (you can add additional details in your e-mail if you wish), please click here.

A good quality Rosary can be seen at the PEEP Shop via the Pro Ecclesia Shop button on the left of this page.

A new web site dedicated to Blessed Alexandrina of Balasar, Portugal, has been created. It features a video and a brief life history written by Kevin Rowles.

For readers who have wondered where they could find the Teachings of the Catholic Church in spoken form, we now have a collection of about 175 talks, in .mp3 format, by some eminent Catholic speakers, including our own Daphne McLeod and her set of 16 talks on "What We Catholics Believe". There are many more talks, on Confession, on the Sacraments, on the Gospels, on the Mass - and they are all free to download. Just click on the button called "Talks - free downloads" on the left, and take your pick. Unfortunately, due to the size of the files involved, it really is necessary to download them with a broadband connection. Feel free to record them on to disc or tape, but they must not be altered in any way, nor may they be sold on.

Please tell your friends about this new resource - we think it will be of great value to catechetics, and indeed all the Faithful, all around the world and by making it widely-known you will be doing something to defend the Faith.
