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)

According to one author, if Pope Innocent IV had allied the Crusades with the Mongol armies the Islamic empires could have been destroyed.
Earl Dusty Trimmer in "Unbreakable Hearts" (on page 56) writes:
"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.
