"LIGHT AND GUIDANCE IN THE FACE OF FALSE DOCTRINES AND THE PRESENT SPIRITUAL DARKNESS".

We, Supreme Pontiff, Vicar of Christ, Successor of Saint Peter, Servant of the Servants of God, Patriarch of Palmar de Troya.

We, as Universal Doctor of the Church, see the need to offer some guiding norms, which are no other than the wise Doctrine of Holy Mother Church.

With stupefaction and amazement we observe how a great many souls have been led astray,‑ many who have been taught by false doctors. Sheep without shepherds, these are being served the deadly poison of false doctrines. Disgraceful to say, many souls are badly directed, and are enduring violent disturbances in the Faith. These vacillations are the result, also, of abandoning those sound doctrines fostered during centuries by Holy Mother Church. No one is free from blame, since if it is true that there are bad Bishops and bad priests; nevertheless the faithful still have their intelligence and their rational soul, created by God in His image and likeness. The soul is divine inasmuch as it bears the imprint of Divine Law. Added to this truth, for greater strength, there is the grace of baptism, which makes us children of God. If we add to the grace of baptism that grace we received in the Sacrament of Confirmation:  in which the Bishop places his hand on the heads of the baptized candidates, giving them the Holy Ghost, then as we know, we are made soldiers of Christ. Then we prepare ourselves for receiving first Holy Communion. Traditionally children were prepared during a long period in order to receive Christ in the Holy Eucharist for the first time. Before receiving Holy Communion, they prepared themselves devoutly to receive the Sacrament of Penance. In this way the children came to their first communion with pure white souls, just as they were on the day of their baptism. Given that they had once fulfilled these holy norms, the grown‑ups received a good start along the right path. But although they know what the true Doctrine is, they prefer to follow the directions of false doctors, since this is more comfortable. The Divine Judge, who is moved neither by bribes nor by appeal, will, on the Day of Judgment, exact a strict account for these things. The Just Judge will say:

"You received the Faith, you received the Sacraments, you received sound Doctrine, you received the Light; and in spite of all, you are party to treason. Depart from Me, accursed ones. Your dwelling is eternal fire, where is the gnashing of teeth".

In the name of Christ We say to you: most beloved children, the light has been given you; if you refuse it, you will enter fully into the number of the damned. The true Doctrine is unchangeable, since it is the sacred deposit of Truth revealed by God. Mountains will be moved, empires will fall, industrial progress will change the habits of society, men will travel in comfort; in short, everything will be rearranged,‑ but the Word of God will endure. Heaven and earth will pass, but the Word of God endures forever. No man on earth has the power to change the Word of God, which is contained in the Holy Bible, in the Traditional Doctrine of the Church, in the Pontifical Magisterium, in all the teaching of Holy Mother Church, all of which is guided by the Holy Ghost.

Availing Our self of the present Document, we desire to speak a little about the Church.

As is Our obligation, in accord with traditional doctrine, We desire to point out for the faithful the following: as all know, the Church is the Mystical Body of Christ.  We distinguish two things in the Mystical Body, one visible, the other invisible. The Church, the Mystical Body of Christ, we acknowledge to be the only true one, with the name One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic. This unique and true Church is distributed in this manner: the Church Triumphant, the Church in Purgation, the Church Militant. The visible part of the Mystical Body of Christ is formed by the Church Militant, to which we belong, living in this vale of tears in quest of the Church Triumphant. The Church Militant has a Visible Head, who is the Pope, the Vicar of Christ on earth, the Supreme Pontiff. This Visible Head, in the name of Christ, governs the various members of the Mystical Body. After the Pope come the various members, namely, Cardinals, Bishops, Priests of different kinds, Regular or Secular; followed by other admirable members, the brothers and the nuns; and then come all the faithful in general, married, unmarried, or widowed. Within the body of the faithful, there stand out those who belong to the Third Order, the Tertiaries. Also within the Mystical Body of Christ, there stand out those members who exercise civil authority, as representatives of God vested with the secular arm. Traditional Doctrine teaches that the Church and the State are two powers or authorities that represent God. Whence is deduced the necessity for a marriage between Church and State. Therefore every State united with the Church, must govern the nations according to the Doctrine of the Church. There is no doubt, the Catholic State is the perfect state, and ought to be the desire of all the nations. A Catholic state can never introduce laws contrary to the Divine Law.  A state that adopts laws that are opposed to God automatically becomes a heretic nation.

We wish to point out for all that it is necessary to refuse to obey orders that are against God, no matter who it is who gives the orders.

We wish to point out to all nations, the urgent necessity to return to the Catholic State.  All those governments of the various nations that introduce diabolical laws, such as abortion, euthanasia, divorce and other aberrations; those states do not represent God, since indeed God does not contradict Himself. There is no doubt, the majority of the governments of the nations today are against God. This has all been accomplished thanks to masonry, which is the antithesis of God.

We declare and proclaim the following truth: every Catholic nation has the right and the duty to be governed by a state that professes the Catholic Faith.

We desire to speak now of the Church Triumphant, which is composed of the blessed in Heaven. In the Church Triumphant we see a Head,‑ this Head, invisible to us, who is Christ. There we see as well a rock, formed by the exalted pair Mary and Joseph; and thereafter follow all the angels and saints.

We wish to begin this part by speaking primarily of the Most Glorious Saint Joseph. We begin by exclaiming: who is this sublime man? And the clear reply: Saint Joseph, the just man, the man of peace, the man full of grace. We must learn to know the glories of Saint Joseph, for in knowing him, we give God the glory, since He is the author of such sublime glory. We have to see Saint Joseph sanctified in the maternal womb, to contemplate the sufferings, sorrows, bitter afflictions, and anxieties, endured and offered by this just man. Since Saint Joseph was pre sanctified, he was born without sin,‑ and this grace he vigorously preserved to his death, a death that was a sweet transition. The most Glorious Saint Joseph had, logically, no obligation to suffer, since he had nothing to expiate. This just man, mystically speaking, is a great acquisition to the hypostatic order. God desired to endow Saint Joseph with admirable graces, in order for him to attain to the dignity of Spouse of the Mother of God and putative Father of Jesus. In spite of his having received such graces, this man is suffering, The Virgin Mary, his Spouse, is about to give birth. They both go about the city of Bethlehem, seeking whore to lodge; but the inhabitants, with a thousand excuses, close their doors in the face of the Holy Family. Later, the Blessed Patriarch must flee to Egypt, with the Child Jesus and the Virgin Mary. He must leave the house, the workshop, the friends and neighbours. For years, the sufferings of Saint Joseph were many without number, so that they exalt him to the rank of martyr. If, as we are contemplating him, Saint Joseph endured such great suffering without, as we have seen, being under an obligation to expiate sins, we recognize in Saint Joseph the grace of Co‑redeemer. All his sorrows and sufferings form part of the saving work of Redemption. Reason itself tells us that Saint Joseph is Co‑redeemer. This glorious man was pre‑sanctified.  He is putative father of the Redeemer and Spouse of the Co‑redemptrix. With infinite wisdom, God disposes all things with beauty and harmony. Behold the holy Family, united:  in Bethlehem, in Egypt, in Jerusalem, on Golgotha as well, in Heaven, and of course, in the Church.

We wish to point out for all the faithful the urgent necessity for all to meditate and contemplate the Glories of Saint Joseph. Precisely in these times we are urged to call upon Saint Joseph, since he is Father and Doctor of the Church. Going to Saint Joseph, we at once find the Most Holy Virgin Mary. Just as we say "to Jesus through Mary," we say as well, "to Mary, through Joseph."  All the faithful who are with Saint Joseph are consequently with Mary and Jesus. Saint Joseph has the exalted mission to lead us to Mary. Those who profess particular devotion to Saint Joseph are strengthened in singular fashion.

Through Saint Joseph, We desire God to lead you to the Virgin Mary.

We ardently desire that the whole Church overflow with grace from the Immaculate Heart of Mary. In this Heart of Mary, we find sure refuge, sweet shelter, and most sure path to the Sacred and Divine Heart of Jesus. Through Mary, full of grace, we come to know our Lord Jesus Christ. She is the Mother of the Church. When the Church is afflicted, Mary hastens to comfort her.

On Golgotha, at the foot of the Cross, the Most Holy Virgin Mary received in her arms the body of Christ. Before this sublime moment, she accompanied Jesus along the way of sorrow. She beheld her Son, nailed to the Cross, and seeing this, her Immaculate Heart was mystically crucified. Then, holding the dead Body in her arms, she cleaned the wounds of the Head, those caused by the thorns. As exalted Co‑redemptrix, she offered all to the Eternal Father, uniting herself to the full, in a most singular way, to the saving work of Redemption. This very Mother of Golgotha continues, on the way of sorrow, to accompany the Mystical Body of Christ, the Church. The Church is suffering the Passion, but we need not be afraid, we are in the company of our Mother. There will be the crucifixion of the Mystical Body, but in that sublime moment the Church will not be alone, she will be with the Celestial Mother. There will be the moment when the Church, the Mystical Body of Christ, reposes in the sacred embrace of Mary. For this reason it is foolish to be afraid. The Church, imitating her Divine Founder, will rise again in the presence of the Celestial Mother, the Virgin Mary.

We desire to speak a little on the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. This meekest and sweetest Heart of Jesus, is also the centre of the Mystical Body, the Church.  The Heart of Jesus is always disposed to open itself and let us enter in. To know the sweetness and meekness of the Heart of Jesus, we have first only to contemplate the Holy Face. Let us meditate and search into the Divine Face of Jesus. Let us contemplate that face, covered with blows, dust, spittle and blood. This Divine Face expresses thus the infinite pity of the Heart of Jesus. The Divine Face of Our Lord Jesus Christ shows us our own sins in those bruises. Very beloved children, it is necessary for us to have a sublime and sweet devotion to the Holy Face. In this way we shall understand the folly of the Cross. In this way we shall meditate on the crucified, and thus fathom the great mystery of the love of all loves, Jesus in the Eucharist. In this sublime way, we shall receive abundant graces of the Holy Ghost, in order to find, at the end of our days, the arms of the Eternal Father open to receive us. Once in the embrace of the Eternal Father, we shall be able to take possession of the heavenly mansions, contemplate God face to face, serving Him, and rejoicing in Him.

We wish to point out for all the faithful, that this path to the Heavenly Father is difficult and easy at the same time, ­depending on our cooperation with grace. Let us go then to the Heavenly Father in union with the Holy Family, Jesus, Mary and Joseph.

We wish to avail Our self of the present document to contradict a remark in one of the discourses of the Antipope John Paul I. This antipope explained that God is more Mother than Father. Here We must speak out: this statement is altogether obnoxious to God.  It overturns traditional doctrine about God and the mystery of the Trinity.  When we make the sign of the Cross, we say:  in the name of the Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.  No sensible person would think of beginning the sign of the cross saying: in the name of the Mother. . .  We all know that God is named Father.  Jesus Himself teaches us to call God the blessed name of Father.  We have always spoken of the Paternity of God. Therefore one can never teach that God is more Mother than Father.  It would be another matter, speaking in the manner of a parable, to say that God is like a mother who lovingly cares for her children.

We wish to teach that it would be altogether absurd to present God as Mother. If we wish to speak of maternity, we have the Virgin Mary; not only in the New Testament, but also in the Old,‑ since in the Book of Genesis, there is prophesied the Woman; and when it speaks thus, no other woman is meant than Mary, the Mother. After the fall of Adam and Eve, God announces the Woman, that is, the Mother; and this is confirmed by Jesus at the marriage of Cana, and on Golgotha.

The Mother, that is Mary, was expected by the Holy Fathers of the Old Testament, announced by the Prophets, sung by the Angels, acclaimed on those journeys of Jesus, when they said: "Blessed the womb that bore thee, the breasts that nursed thee". To this celestial Mother, all Christians have turned for Help. To this Mother they have turned for Perpetual Succor. To this Mother they have turned, proclaiming her Queen, and Splendor of Carmel. With infinite Wisdom, God has given to the Church a Mother, who is the Most Holy Virgin.

Reflecting on the words spoken by the antipope John Paul I regarding this matter, We think his remarks were intended to change the concept of the role of women in the Church. In this way the faithful would become accustomed to hearing about the superlative rank of women, until there would come the day when women would be admitted to the priesthood. We all know that the ordination of women to the priesthood is totally invalid. For all the ceremony, whatever ritual a Bishop might use to attempt to confer the priesthood on a woman, the whole remains a theatrical show with no possible effect whatsoever. For ordination to the priesthood, the indispensable minimum is that the subject be a baptized man.

We, as Universal Doctor of the Church, teach the following: the True Church will never ordain women to the priesthood. It is perfectly clear that Divine Law prohibits the ordination of women to the priesthood.

We direct a word to you, Christian women:   Very beloved daughters, yours is a great role to fulfill in the Church. One most important role is found in the religious life, as virgin spouses of Christ. Another when God calls you to the Sacrament of Matrimony, to a fulfilled married life, to be fruitful mothers, to fill up the number of the children of God. You who have the holy joy of being mother of a priest, blessed are you, for having born in the womb a minister of the Lord. The Most Holy Virgin Mary, the most exalted creature, blessed among all women, was not a priest, rather she was the Mother of Our Lord Jesus Christ, the High and Eternal Priest.

Had Our Lord Jesus Christ desired the priesthood of women, without any doubt, His Most Holy Mother would have been the first.

We wish to teach, God has established his Laws,‑ and we creatures are created to fulfill the Will of the Creator.

We implore the Most Holy Virgin Mary, Mother of all Priests, that she spread her protective Mantle over all the Church, and free us from all false doctors.

Given in Seville, at the Apostolic See, 10th October, Feast of the Divine Maternity of Mary, in the Year of Our

Lord Jesus Christ MCMLXXVIII.

With our Apostolic Blessing,
