  1. Kiko answers to hatred with music! How beautiful. As one trade unionist used to say. "the easiest thing in the world is to get people to hate..." Tim Rohr and company are succeeding. Let us answer to this hatred with our meekness....

  2. Diana, is Pius going to be replaced? Tim is saying that Pius is going to be replaced by Fr. Paolo Benetton.

    The latest word is that Pius is setting him up to take over as Rector of our own RMS and then push him into the list of candidates to succeed Apuron. That's good news and bad news. The bad news is obvious, he's a Kiko - and Pius' choice. The good news is that it is obvious that Pius has given up on David and Adrian. LOL. Out with the evening's trash.

      No, Father Pius is not being replaced. Tim is making up more fairy tales. I do not know where he got this information that Father Pius is going to be replaced by Father Benetton.

      I do not think it was Liz. I think it was Tim's delusional mind. A few days ago, he even said that the Archbishop was in Rome. The Archbishop never went to Rome.

    1. Hatred is being activated and the only way to DE-Activate hatred is to show LOVE. and how do we love? By asking God to give us this grace.... we show mercy, compassion, and forgiveness! Persecution is good for all of us... it brings us closer to God. God ALLOWS all the suffering and tribulations to enter into our life because he is preparing for our deaths... so that we may be united with him in HEAVEN!
