St. Catherine of Sienna's Letter to the Popes of Vatican II
St. Catherine of Sienna's first letter to Pope Gregory XI:
"Oh, sweet and true knowledge... if he loves himself for his own sake and not for God - -he cannot do other than ill, and all virtue is dead in him. Such a one is like a woman who brings forth her sons dead."
(The Letters of Saint Catherine of Sienna, page 86)
If Pope Innocent IV had Allied with the Mongols could the Islamic Empires have been Destroyed?
Unbreakable Hearts: A True, Heart-wrenching Story About Victory...Forfeited!
According to one author, if Pope Innocent IV had allied the Crusades with the Mongol armies the Islamic empires could have been destroyed.
"As much damage as the Mongols did to Islam - they almost wiped them out... [they sought] possible alliance... between the Mongols and Christians against Islam... Pope Innocent IV never acted on the gesture. Big mistake?... Innocent's decision would only start a revival of Islam... the Shiites betrayed the Sunni and sided with the Mongols."
Pray
an Our Father now for the restoration of the Mass and the Church as
well as for the Triumph of the Kingdom of the Sacred Heart of the Jesus
and the Immaculate Heart of the Mary.
