Again, I’m opening up a post to questions on a wide range of topics in theology. You can ask me general questions on faith, morals, or salvation. You can also ask questions on my writings in particular is eschatology, ethics, and other subjects.
This feature is only for questions that sincerely seek answers. Please do not ask a question merely to have a platform for your own views and arguments. If you think that you know the answer to your own question better than I do, then don’t ask.

Questions on “La Salette” / sorting it out
[…]
thanks
I deleted most of your comment, to prevent your claims from harming souls.
The alleged quotes you present are not found in the secrets of La Salette.
See my translation of the secrets here.
I used a version of the secret received by a French priest, entirely written by Melanie.
The years mentioned in the secret to Melanie (1864 and 1865) for the rise to power of the Antichrist require interpretation: these are dates in the Islamic calendar, corresponding to 2430 and 2431 A.D. Those dates match my interpretation of Daniel’s 70 weeks of years for the start of the last week of years, traditionally considered the start of the Antichrist’s reign. And the end of that week of years, which is the end of the Antichrist’s reign, is the time of Christ’s return, which is a Jubilee of Jubilees from the time of Christ’s birth (in my biblical chronology research). So the dates all work well.
The mention in Maximin’s secret of timing:
7. ‘And the monster will arrive at the end of the nineteenth century or at the latest at the commencement of the twentieth.’
refers to the arrival of Hitler, who was a foreshadowing of the Antichrist.

The Secrets of La Salette and the End Times
I have heard the Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic Church referred to as the “two lungs of the universal Church” or something to that effect. This seems to put the two on equal footing, but how can this be if the E.O. Church does not participate in the magisterium? How are they legit at all? Its as if the ecumenical counsels and decrees by Popes which are infallible mean nothing to them. Where am I confused on this issue? Thanks
Some Eastern Churches are part of the one Catholic Church; the Latin Rite and these are referred to as the two lungs of the Church. The Eastern Orthodox are in a state of schism and heresy, so they are separated from the true Church.
The procuring of a direct abortion and the murder of the Pope automatically excommunicate Catholics from the Roman Catholic Church under Canon Law, but other forms of murder do not automatically excommunicate Latin Rite Catholics from the Roman Catholic Church. Why would the Catholic Church impose the penalty of automatic excommunication for the procuring of direct abortion and the murder of Pope, but not impose the penalty of automatic excommunication for other forms of murder, such as euthanasia or infanticide? Will the Catholic Church make changes to Canon Law and subject other forms of murder, such as euthanasia or infanticide, to the penalty of automatic excommunication like direct abortion or the murder of the Pope are?
The punishment for every grave sin is from God. In addition, certain grave sins should be and often are crimes punishable under the laws of secular society. So the Church does not need to punish every grave sin with excommunication. Instead, She hopes for repentance and salvation for sinners.
Abortion is a special case of murder, because it is so widely approved in secular society. So the penalty helps the faithful understand that it is still a grave sin, despite being legal in many places.
The murder or attempted murder or assault on the Pope harms the whole Church, and so it is also a special case.
