O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest of all my sins because I dread the loss of Heaven and the pains of Hell, but most of all because I have offended Thee, my God, who art all good and deserving of all my love.
And I firmly resolve with the help of Thy grace to confess my sins, to do penance and to amend my life. Amen.
So none of the evils in the world were ever committed by lukewarm secularists, Jews, Protestants, muslins, Hindus, Buddhists, etc. Just evil lukewarm Catholics. This guy sounds like Feckless Frankie. Got it.
Pius V was one of the greatest Popes the Church ever had. He knew what he was talking about. He bears no resemblance to Pope Francis.

He was also given the vision of victory at Lepanto as it occurred. Rather unlike some of today’s clerics who are little more than grown up flower children of the 60s dressed in a Roman collar.
If we fully cooperated with God’s grace in one generation, would there be any non-Catholics in the next? Saint Catherine of Siena talked about how our prayers for others slightly open the door for them. They still have will of their own, so we can’t pray anyone into heaven, but we can channel grace their way (of course, it’s not our doing but God’s grace). How much more we could do!
ALL!? the evils of the world are lukewarm Catholics fault. BS! Sounds pretty judgmental to me.
Of course it is judgmental. That is what good Popes do to sinners.
Sounds pretty judgmental to me.
Actually, it sounds like a possible “fauxtation”:

Here’s a larger version of a quote referenced in that link:
“How clearly Pius V understood the religious situation in Germany was evidenced by his insistence that Catholic professors should also take the oath of the Tridentine profession. For it was not so much the out-and-out Protestants that made the Holy Father’s heart bleed; it was the lukewarm Catholics who, while they still retained an affection for Catholic rites and practices, were frequently indifferent about the doctrine and spirit of the Church. These near fallen-away Catholics, like their leader, Maximilian II, were constantly complaining about papal zeal. They tried to argue that the reforms of Pius V were not applicable to Germany. Many of these faint-hearted Catholics were perfectly sincere in trying to save the Church in Germany by winning the Protestants back to a watered Catholicism, bereft of strong ties with the Church of Rome, and without her vital, clear-cut doctrines.”
