For the last six months I
have been contemplating the war going on between two camps of people claiming to
be the true and approved promoters of Our Lady of America. In spite of the Last
Will and Testament of Sister Mildred leaving the devotion to Sister Joseph
Therese, many have asked me why it is so important that one center be in
charge, and why not have many people promote the devotion, even
if in different ways.
I have answered that in order
to protect the purity of the messages and story, there has to be one source of
the truth as a pin that all may trust. This is true of
I wanted also to show some
real examples of how these false promoters of Our Lady of America have distorted
the messages and harmed the cause Our Lady asked of us. I went over again
the stacks of documents I have collected over the past three years, and re-read
the “True Story of Our Lady of America.”
I read over and over the false web site. Then like a light from heaven
came the answer; it came from a friend who
directed me to a statement of Sister Mildred herself.
Before I reveal what I learned,
let me set up why this is so important. I believe Satan is using men
whose hearts are not pure enough to discern his trickery to manipulate bishops
into a catch 22.
There is a group of powerful
men in the Rome City, IN area who also have influence in high places in the
church, and who have been twisting the truth and manipulating information in
order to deceive the public and the bishops. This is an attempt to
destroy the remaining sister and to get Bishops to give the public apostolate
for the devotion to Our Lady of America to them.
They want to shift the
devotion to Rome City, IN where the
first apparition took place and build a huge
shrine there. There would be a great deal of personal gain, as there is a
large facility of bedrooms there, restaurant, a former mineral spring, a soccer
field, etc., and the present owner has been on the verge of bankruptcy.
One of them also has a huge warehouse and would take over the
distribution of materials. It behooves the owner, Larry Young, to
create a lot of publicity about the place in the public so he can find big money
to buy the place.
Mr. Young has numerous You
Tubes out claiming Our Lady made a prophesy that the place, once sold by the
Precious Blood Sisters, would fall into a period of darkness (cult), but before
the turn of the century a Catholic would buy it and restore it to a religious
purpose. He bought it before the turn of the century and claims seeing 2 women
who said “You are the one!”
No doubt some day that chapel
might be important for a religious purpose, but, according to the remaining
sister and confidante of the visionary, no such prophesy was ever
made. Nor another falsehood that Our Lady told Sr. Mildred to tell people
to come to this site,
What Our Lady did say is
documented on the correct official web site, under the True Story, http://www.ourladyofamerica.com/truestory/The_True_Story_Part_3.pdf
and I can provide the actual letter of Sr. Mildred to Archbishop Leibold in which she describes her dread of going back
to Rome City the second time and how she felt she was in a “ring of evil” and
she wanted to “jump out the window” to get away. She asked her superiors
to let her leave but since she couldn’t find a replacement for her work, she
stayed. . It was at this time Sr. Mildred also describes in a
letter an encounter with Satan. Then Our Lady appeared.
Later she commissioned her
remaining Sister, Sr. Joseph Therese, to guard the integrity and purity of the
message with her life and warns her “they will be coming after you.” She
also made it clear to Sr. Joseph Therese nothing was to take precedence over
the statue in the National Shrine.
These men have violated Sr.
Joseph Therese’s copyrights and trademarks and seduced others to do the
same. That copyright is proving to be vital to protecting the integrity
of the message as these men have deliberately removed the later messages
directly related to the false teachings and crisis within the Church today,
printed at the behest of Sr. Mildred’s second spiritual director; hence, Arch. Leibold could NOT have approved them.
These men also, without
Sister’s permission and knowledge, deleted the vital prayer to the Most Holy
Trinity given the imprimatur by Arch. Leibold in 1963
and which is part of the central doctrine at the heart of the message.
Now I ask you, how can people
using such impure methods of promotion and illegal activity and violating
copyright and trademark law be given the apostolate of a
devotion about purity, especially purity of heart that stands against
the heresy that the end justifies any means and speaks to doing the right thing
for the right reason? Would Our Lady bless such evil?
The role of the National
Shrine and the purity and integrity of the message must be protected. God
has made His choice and He has chosen the little ones, as in previous
apparitions, for His work.
Who could know the mind of
Sr. Mildred and the devotion better than her companion who shared her passion
and suffering for this cause? How can anyone who has been so little
involved in the long term be chosen over the one the visionary herself
commissioned to finish her work?
Sister Joseph Therese may not
like me exposing this truth right now, just before liability court trials, but
I just cannot wait any longer while these people harm this devotion. I
have been through this before with Our Lady of Soufanieh,
but this time I am going to fight harder because I love this nation, and I am
going down fighting.
