TRADITION, FAMILY & PROPERTY
QUESTION? / COMMENT!
Terry & Jesse were promoting a Fatima novena from TRADITION, FAMILY & PROPERTY (TFP) and these GNOSTICS have been flogging Fatima for fun and profit for decades, being twice condemned in their home country of Brazil by her bishops. Are you at ALL curious to know why?? Read the TFP book Nobility and Analogous Traditional Elites: A Theme Illuminating American Social History: Plinio Correa de Oliveira and honestly tell me what you think! Do your homework, please, I beg you. Most of all don't let TFP or AMERICA NEEDS FATIMA/ANF near your mailing lists or you are DOOOMED! Do your homework. Use your common sense. You have a responsibility as the public face of Christ and His Church. You have been duped by people who pray, not to Mary, but to the founder's mommy, Dona Lucilia, and in so doing call Plinio the "AXIOMATIC PRINCIPLE," the First Cause, or God. May the real God bless and protect you and yours and thank you for your otherwise yeoman's service.

I quote all kinds of organizations and authors that I may not necessarily agree with on a host of other issues. I quote Protestants, Anti-Catholics, I quote Jews, I quote homosexuals and lesbians, I quote secular humanist, I quote Politicians whenever they speak truth consistent with the perennial teachings of the Catholic Church. Even a broken clock is correct twice a day. I absolutely have quoted and will continue to quote America Needs Fatima (ANF). – Tradition, Family & Property (TFP) whenever they speak truth consistent with the perennial teachings of the Catholic Church.
St Paul quotes pagan sources in the New Testament to make his case. He quotes the poet Aratus of Cilicia in Acts 17:28; he quotes a Cretan poet Epimenides in Titus 1:12; He quotes an Athenian writer Menander from his play Thais in 1 Cor 15:33; St Luke borrowed a phrase from Aeschylus, a Greek poet when he wrote Acts 26:14; St Jude quoted a non-biblical source, the book of Enoch in verse 14-15 of his epistle. If you want to see more examples of quoting from people you may not necessarily agree with you entirely, then read this article where it shows Our Lord & Savior quoting from pagan sources often. Why? To drive home an eternal truth that even pagans know Gods commandments by the natural law, because God has written his law in our hearts (cf. Romans 2:15) Does the New Testament quote extrabiblical writers? - Biblical Hermeneutics Stack Exchange.
Now, I am certainly not the Magisterium, I have no authority to determine who is a real Catholic organization and who is not, that's above my pay grade.
As to the few things I have gleaned from their website https://americaneedsfatima.org/ & tfp.org, it’s been absolutely spot on. A good piece of advice that I have followed for years, I stay "in my lane." I have deep knowledge about certain Catholic topics, but I don't get into the weeds of who is a real Catholic organization and who is not. Some are quite obviously phony Catholic organizations, like those George Soros funded Catholic groups, you can spot them a mile away.
