Thanks for this summary. It answered my questions about the history of the so-called “Consecration Controversy”with charity and clarity. Well done!

One of the most readable and informative reports I have seen so far in The Pillar. Bishop Aymond is a credit to the Church on the order of Bishop Gomez. There may be hope for us yet.

Fr. Gruner knew the consecration had not satisfied Heaven. He was sanctioned. Sr. Lucy was silenced. BVM said "It will be late, but the consecration will be done." Thanks be to God.

The consecration has not been and will still not be done because of political correctness. So more suffering because the church leaders care more for diplomacy than obeying the Mother of the Lord, Queen of Heaven

Thank God the Pope is doing this without fear of retaliation from anyone. I have not always agreed with the holy Father but I am in full support of this act of consecration. Thank you , Pope Francis.

If we as Catholics can renew our vocational vows, I see it as a good thing to renew our commitment to trusting our mother Mary intercession with our Lord.
