Some Clarifications and Reflections on the Marian Dogmas.

Some Clarifications on the Traditional Doctrine of the Church.

Some Meditations and Reflections on the Mission of the Holy and Great Palmarian Council.

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, wish, in the present Document, to give all the faithful several explanations and points for reflection on our Pontifical Documents, in relation to the Traditional Doctrine of our Holy Mother the Church, namely:

We find several phrases in the prayers proper to the Mass of the Immaculate Conception that can give a certain appearance of contradicting truths of Faith which We have proclaimed infallibly in several of our Pontifical Documents. On the one hand, we find these words:  ". . . by the Death, foreseen by Thee, of the same thy Son, didst preserve her from all stain . . ."   In these words, understood in their perfect sense, we find no contradiction of the truth, because we need not take them to mean that Christ, by his Death, purchased the Grace of the Immaculate Conception of Mary. We are rather to understand that Mary attained that Grace for being chosen as true and worthy Mother of God. Thus, since Christ is true God, He merits such a Mother. To this truth is added another truth, namely: that the Most Holy Virgin Mary acquired such sublime graces for her role and dignity of Associate, as Exalted Co-redemptrix, in the Passion of Christ,- not for herself, but rather for the rest, since She had no need of Redemption.

We find also the following words: ". . . as we confess her to have been, by thy prevenient grace, immune from all stain . . ."  Neither in these words, do we find contradiction of the truth, since we are to understand the words "prevenient grace" as the grace given to Mary in the Mind of God from all eternity.  In this word "prevenient," in a manner mysterious and admirable, there is concealed the truth of "Mary Irredeemed."  For this reason, We interpret infallibly that the word "prevenient," in the context concerning Mary, is synonymous with her being Irredeemed. How admirable that prevenience, how marvelous!  What better prevention than that which needs no Redemption!

We have also the following words: ". . . the wounds of that sin, from which Thou didst in singular manner preserve the Immaculate Conception of Blessed Mary . . ."  In these words, We find no contradiction of the truths of Faith "Mary Immaculate" and "Mary Irredeemed."  Rather there is more: not only do we not find contradiction, but we even find a profound clarification of those truths; namely:

In the phrase "in singular manner", the Church most wisely in her Sacred Liturgy, lets us discern a singular privilege, something absolutely unique in the history of mankind. Mankind, in order to be cleansed of the stain of original sin, needs the Redemption; whereas the Virgin Mary, not needing Redemption, attains at the same time, the Grace of the Immaculate Conception. At no moment of her existence was she ever touched by the devil, nor had she ever been lost or sold.

In the words "didst preserve," the Church most wisely in her Sacred Liturgy lets us discern the sublime truth that the Virgin Mary did not need Redemption. In the words "didst preserve," we are to understand infallibly that God, in his infinite Wisdom and sovereign free Will, has enthroned Mary on a level apart from all mankind.

We teach infallibly that the word "preserved" in the context concerning Mary is synonymous with the word "separated" or "on a level apart".

Also, when in the teaching of the Church we meet the phrase: "Mary was preserved in view of the merits of the Passion of Christ", we find no contradiction of the truth. We are to understand in this phrase the merits proper to Christ, as true God, and the merits proper to Mary as Exalted Associate, Co-redemptrix in the salvific Work of Redemption.  All the truths of Faith concerning the Virgin Mary were believed and cherished by the Apostles, who received direct teaching from Our Lord Jesus Christ and, as well, direct teaching from the Virgin Mary herself. This tradition of the Apostles passed to the first Christians and to the Fathers of the Church. Later there arose in the Church an epoch of great theologians and great doctors. They, in the depths of their soul, believed and cherished the same truths that the Apostles believed and cherished; but not always did they find the forms to express them.  In many questions they did not find the exact words for expressing what they believed. God permitted that those great Doctors should not find the key words, in order that all the Church in this manner might at each moment attend to the words of the Vicar of Christ defining each question.

The Holy Ghost has continued to reserve to each precise question its precise moment. The very words of the great doctors have, in many questions, been interpreted in many different ways, in order thus to manifest the splendour of the infallible interpretations of the Popes, to whom the Holy Ghost reserves Infallibility.

Many times the holy and wise doctors suffered terribly seeking to express the truths they believed, while they were hindered by the words proper to the language of their epoch. Those great doctors of the Church spent endless days, months, even years in profound study of the great mysteries of the Faith. They dedicated themselves to study with body and soul, enlisting in service their five bodily senses and three faculties of their soul. Many of those doctors suffered terrible headaches, since intellectual work is profoundly exhausting. They placed their, intelligence at the service of God and of the Church. There is no cause for reproaching the holy doctors of the Church, since they laboured lovingly within their human limitations. They offered, and continue to offer, a mighty assistance to the Church and to mankind. Through their writings, men have found well seasoned discourse whereby to learn to know the Creator. God, in his infinite Wisdom, has permitted the doctors to write words of apparent contradiction, at the same time providing the mysterious miracle that, in those words, the truth be hidden, and that the Holy Ghost, at the opportune moment, manifest what is hidden. Thus all the faithful feel the obligation to invoke the Holy Ghost that He might assist the Church, - as well as that the faithful have confidence and certitude when the Pope speaks infallibly.

In Sacred Scripture itself we find many words of apparent contradiction. For example: "If your right eye scandalize you, pluck it out."  These are words of Our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the Truth, the Way and the Life, and the Light, etc.  When Christ says: "If your right eye scandalizes you, pluck it out!", He does not mean us to do so materially, but rather spiritually,- which is done by mortifying the sense of sight; that is to say: turn your eyes away from every danger of sinning. What the Lord says about the eyes, He says as well for all our senses.

Who would dare say that Christ lied when He said: "If your eye scandalizes you, pluck it out"?  No one who is sensible could admit that Christ lied. Rather, what He did was to speak words in a way that would be understood by the humble and simple of heart, but not by the wise and prudent.

The apparently contradictory passages in Sacred Scripture would be endless to cite. There are apparently contradictory passages in the New Testament among the several Evangelists, including words put on the very lips of Christ. Nevertheless, no sensible person would dare call the Evangelists liars, since they wrote the Holy Gospels inspired by the Holy Ghost, who is called Father of Truth.

Thus, all the faithful have the sacred duty to believe in accord with the teaching of the Magisterium of the Church. It is sure doctrine that it is also the Holy Ghost who inspires the doctors of the Church,- naturally with respect for the form of expression of the instrument, a form which not always attains precision. The Holy Ghost leads the Church on the path of Truth, and never on the path of lies, only that the truth is expressed with apparent contradictions, in order that all might practise humility and be obliged to offer prayer and penance, imploring the light to understand the words expressed.

Also well known is that matter concerning Saint Francis of Assisi. This seraphic saint received from Christ the words: "I desire that you build me a Temple."  The humble Saint Francis set about building a temple, and placing the stones. While he was about this important work, he received from Christ this inspiration: "It is not a material temple I desire, but a spiritual temple."  And with that, Saint Francis understood that the Temple was his own body, consecrated to God. No sensible person would dare call Christ a liar, since in the words themselves the truth is present; however, the servant understood it in a different way.

It would be endless to speak of apparent contradictions.

We, as Universal Doctor of the Church, teach infallibly that all the defined truths have already, throughout the History of the Church, been believed implicitly, generally by the humble and simple of heart.

We avail our self of the present Document in order to continue speaking about the previous document, referring to the following, which was omitted.

There is need to speak of the title that could be given to the Church during the Pontificate of Our Venerated Predecessor, Saint John XXIII, whose family name was Roncalli. Bearing this family name in mind, the Church of that time could bear the title "Roncallian Church",- which by a play on words, can be interpreted as a snoring (Spanish, roncar - to snore), or slumbering of the Apostles in the Garden of Gethsemani.  Recalling that the Pontificate of Saint Paul VI signified the Golgotha of the Church, it is to be understood that the Pontificate of Saint John XXIII, as precursor, signified the Garden of Olives. During the Pontificate of Saint John XXIII, the Bishops, at the Second Vatican Council, were taken by surprise while in deep lethargic sleep, remaining asleep even during the capture of Christ. Imagining the Council as the Garden of Olives, and the traditionalist Bishops as the sleeping Apostles, there remains only to point out that the wide awake progressive Bishops, with Judas Iscariot at the head, and accompanied by a troop of soldiers, broke into the Conciliar Aula. The troop of soldiers was made up of masons, Marxists, Zionists, Protestants and every kind of heretic and atheist. That company of soldiers arrived at the Garden, armed with pickets and iron bars, that is, with their heretical doctrines; and with these they seized the Just One.

Venerable in years, Saint John XXIII, with the ardent heart of a country man, was incapable of suspicion; and as he felt himself choking in the rarified air, he decided to open the windows to let in fresh air. But instead of admitting wholesome oxygen, all he did was to add to the pollution of the poisoned air in the Conciliar Hall. This all took place because the Apostles were asleep, contrary to the precept of Christ: "Watch and pray, that you do not enter into temptation."

With the Second Vatican Council and with the optimism of Saint John XXIII, all were hoping for a lovely new spring for the Church. But the sad reality showed that the hoped-for spring had turned into a winter more cruel and tempestuous than ever the Church has known.

It has long been announced that at the end of times an Angel would open the door to the Devil. To be sure, Saint John XXIII was called Angelo Guiseppi. This Angel did not open the door in order to harm the Church. However, believing in the goodness of others, and being himself good, he was incapable of seeing the malice of others. If the Apostles, that is the traditionalist Bishops, had been awake, there is no doubt that Good Angel, represented in that venerable old man, would not have opened the window.

In the succeeding Pontificate, that of Saint Paul VI, the Church was found everywhere full of open windows, fit to give pneumonia to everyone inside. It was precisely Pope Saint Paul VI who said:

"The smoke of Satan has come into the Church through some crack".

We say that the crack to which Saint Paul VI refers indicates the innumerable open windows that the Venerable Old Man, trusting the goodness of the Bishops, had forgotten to close.

We, who reign under the name of Gregory - which means awake and vigilant - feel the urgent need to close well all the windows, with locks, bolts, chains and bars, and not only to shut the windows tight, but also to stand at the door and guard the entrance.

We are convoking the Holy and Great Palmarian Council in order, precisely by means of this Council, to shut tight all the Windows and doors so that the smoke of Satan may not get into the Church again.

We, as Head of the Holy Palmarian Church, direct our word of authority to the venerable Fathers of the Holy Council.

Venerable brethren in the Episcopate and very beloved sons in communion with Us:

We, with the authority with which We are vested, exhort you to be awake and vigilant. We say to you with Christ: "Pray and watch that you do not fall into temptation!"

We speak to you paternally: it belongs to you, Venerable Fathers of the Palmarian Council, to intensify your prayer and penance, in order that this Palmarian Council be the Light for the world and attain the conversion for many.

Venerable Fathers of the Holy Palmarian Council: invoke the Holy Ghost who dwells in you, in order that He enlighten you. Invoke the Divine Mary, Most Pure Spouse of the Holy Ghost in order that She, as the White Dove, protect and keep you under her Holy Mantle.

We hope with great vehemence that the Holy and Great Palmarian Council be the true spring that will enable the Church to banish from her midst all storm and tempest.

We are confident, through the Infinite Mercy of God and our co-operation with grace, that the word will be fulfilled: "Another Angel will chain the Devil".

We exhort all the faithful to offer prayers to the Most Holy Virgin in order to attain the grace that the Holy Palmarian Council be the greatest Council in the History of the Church.

We exhort all the faithful to implore Joseph Most Holy in order that he, as Father and Doctor of the Church, lend his powerful assistance to the venerable Fathers of the Holy and Great Palmarian Council.

We exhort all the faithful to entreat the Mystical Doctor, Saint Teresa of Avila, in order that she, as Reformer of Carmel, give her intense assistance to the venerable Carmelite Fathers of the Holy and Great Palmarian Council.

Given in Seville, at the Apostolic See, on the 8^th December, Feast of the Immaculate Conception of Mary, in the year of Our Lord Jesus Christ MCMLXXIX.
