“He [Satan] will set up a counter-Church which will be the ape of the Church because, he the devil, is the ape of God. It will have all the notes and characteristics of the Church, but in reverse and emptied of its divine content. It will be a mystical body of the anti-Christ that will in all externals resemble the mystical body of Christ. In desperate need for God, whom he nevertheless refuses to adore, modern man in his loneliness and frustration will hunger more and more for membership in a community that will give him enlargement of purpose, but at the cost of losing himself in some vague collectivity.”
“Who is going to save our Church? Not our bishops, not our priests and religious. It is up to you, the people. You have the minds, the eyes, and the ears to save the Church. Your mission is to see that your priests act like priests, your bishops act like bishops.”
- Fulton Sheen

"But if, in any layman who is indeed imbued with literature, ignorance of the Latin language, which we can truly call the 'catholic' language, indicates a certain sluggishness in his love toward the Church, how much more fitting it is that each and every cleric should be adequately practiced and skilled in that language!" - Pius XI
"Let us realize that this remark of Cicero (Brutus 37, 140) can be in a certain way referred to [young lay people]: 'It is not so much a matter of distinction to know Latin as it is disgraceful not to know it.'" - St. John Paul II
Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Prayer Before Using The Internet HERE
Almighty and eternal God, who created us in Thine image and bade us to seek after all that is good, true and beautiful, especially in the divine person of Thine Only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, grant, we beseech Thee, that, through the intercession of Saint Isidore, Bishop and Doctor, during our journeys through the internet we will direct our hands and eyes only to that which is pleasing to Thee and treat with charity and patience all those souls whom we encounter. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Mi fa morire da ridere! Perfetto!
At least you can always s e e what she’s saying.
Translation anyone ?
Punto, e basta!
Imagine being MARRIED to her !!!
My 1.5yo girl thoroughly enjoyed this.
what is the Italian for Karen. Momma Mia they start early
monstrance: She’s giving the bureaucrats in Brussels a piece of her mind about the new EU banking regulations. Then she ordered a pizza.
Mariana2: Glass half-full!
Zephyrinus: A match made in Heaven if husband and wife were both playwrights. Every day would be a Shakespearean drama, every vacation in the Family Truckster an epic Greek tragedy.
She definitely has the hand and arm gestures down perfectly!
Malatesta!
Wonderful! The body language is soooooo expressive!
Does anyone have an estimate on her age? I thought she was very young (2 to 3) to start (she is not very tall), but her command of language is quite good so I pushed it to at least 4. Is that still too low?
You were not the only one who thought her command of languahe was exceptional for such a young age. She does not look over three.
This is hilarious! She may well be 2 or 3, especially if she has older siblings or lives in a multi-generational household… the drama and gestures sure remind me of my Italian friends’ “nonnas ” and “nonnis” when I was growing-up! Girls certainly seem to master both the spoken word and non-verbal communication earlier than boys… three of our sons uttered barely more than “mama”, “dada”, “gimme”, and of course “no!” until they had surpassed 18mos., but our only daughter spoke very intelligibly and was able to carry on real conversations at 13 mos. Alas, no gestures or gesticulations, but by the time she was 3 she could switch from her mother’s non-accented speech to an impression of my Boston “accent”!
I hear that this young lady is now auditioning for The Female Lead in the proposed new GODFATHER (PART FOUR) Movie !!!
