When Piety Becomes Poison: The Precious Blood And Indifferentism
A Modernist cannot sincerely pray: “...for the conversion of sinners, the uprooting of heresy...” To him, heresy is dialogue, sin is inclusion, and conversion is arrogance. |
Preamble:
Since the beginning of the month of July, given that it is dedicated to the Precious Blood, I have had the thought of making a short post on one of the "Seven Offerings Of The Precious Blood" underlining how it couldn't be prayed genuinely by Modernists and modernist enthusiasts. My attempting to execute this plan made me discover something fatal: an expression of piety turned into poison!
Here we are to see and instance of how exactly in the Ecumenical Synodal Pan-Religious impostor church occupying Catholic buildings, piety becomes a poison to unsuspecting souls.
Different Theologies, Not Just Words:
Wanting to make my intended post, I opted to get the text of the specific Offering online, and clicked the first of the search results published by a media handle called "The Catholic Crusader".
On reading the "First Offering" I noticed something more that just different wordings and it got more arresting by the time I reached the "Third Offering" which was my target.
Let us see and analyze the words of the two versions to drive in the point:
The text from "The Catholic Crusader" reads:
Eternal Father, we offer You the Precious Blood of Jesus, poured out on the cross and offered daily on the altar, for the conversion of sinners, for the loving acceptance of Your word, and for the union of all Christians.
While the text from the "Confraternity Manual of the Most Precious Blood" which I have used for a while now for public weekly Thursday devotions , (and daily private devotion), and is essentially the same translation as the official text in the Roman Raccolta, reads thus:
Eternal Father, I offer Thee the merits of the Precious Blood of Jesus, Thy well-beloved Son, my Saviour and my God, for the repentance of all unbelievers, the uprooting of heresy, and the conversion of sinners"
Presented with both texts, anyone would objectively see the striking difference at first sight. But someone with an informed Catholic common sense would see beyond semantics.
Analysis of the Prayers:
A. Prayer 1:
- Liturgical Echo:
This prayer bears resemblance to language often found in post-Vatican II Eucharistic devotions, especially those influenced by ecumenical or charismatic trends. The phrase “union of all Christians” reflects ecumenist vocabulary not found in traditional devotions.
- Ambiguity in Intention:
The phrase “for the union of all Christians” presupposes a division within the Church as if the Mystical Body of Christ is fragmented among various sects.
This contradicts the dogmatic truth that the Church is One—unus—and that only those baptized and professing the true faith remain members.
Pope Pius XI, in Mortalium Animos (1928), condemned the idea that the Church is a “federation of separated Christian communities” working toward unity.
- Soft Language:
Instead of clearly naming error or heresy, the prayer speaks vaguely of “loving acceptance of Your word,” a subjective phrase that could mean different things to different people. It lacks the precision of traditional prayers that petition God for the conversion of heretics and schismatics, as found in the Good Friday prayers.
- Collective Offering:
While the use of “we offer” in this context could be commendable in its communal tone, the grammar of sacrifice in the Church is strictly hierarchical and liturgical. The proper context for offering the Precious Blood is the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, offered by the priest in persona Christi.
B. Prayer 2:
- Doctrinal Clarity:
This prayer is deeply rooted in traditional Catholic devotional theology, drawing from the Sanguis Christi tradition championed by saints such as St. Catherine of Siena and St. Gaspar del Bufalo.
- Hierarchy of Intention:
"Repentance of unbelievers": Clearly identifies the state of infidelity, those who do not acknowledge the true God or the Incarnate Word.
"Uprooting of heresy": This phrase is unambiguously militant in tone, echoing the prayers of the Roman Missal and breviary wherein heresy is described as a disease or weed that must be eradicated.
"Conversion of sinners": This shows pastoral charity without confusion—sinners must convert.
Individual Offering:
“I offer Thee” suggests a personal act of devotion, aligning with traditional oblationary spirituality. In private prayer, the faithful do indeed offer Christ’s merits in union with the Mass and the intentions of the Church.
- Theological Precision:
The phrase “merits of the Precious Blood” invokes the doctrine of superabundant satisfaction, where Christ’s merits are offered for the expiation of sin and the sanctification of souls. This is classically Catholic in both form and content.
- Christological Focus:
The invocation “Thy well-beloved Son, my Saviour and my God” is a strong confession of divinity, reminiscent of St. Thomas’s exclamation after the Resurrection (“Dominus meus, et Deus meus!” – John 20:28), and is a direct repudiation of modernist Christologies that reduce Christ to a “teacher” or “brother.”
Verdict from a Traditional Catholic Perspective:
After the quick analysis of the two prayers above it is clear that:
- Prayer 1 may express good will but is doctrinally vague, potentially misleading, and formed in the ambiguous spirit of Modernist ecumenism.
- Prayer 2 is robustly Catholic, doctrinally sound, spiritually rich, and aligned with the spirit of the saints, martyrs, and holy Church throughout the ages.
- Prayer 2 is to be promoted (indeed it is an indulgenced prayer from the Raccolta)
- Prayer 1 should be avoided by all means: it is not an expression of Catholic piety, but a poison to Catholic Faith. Even devotion to the Precious Blood becomes poison when emptied of Truth.
Modernists and their sympathizers Cannot Consistently Pray Prayer 2
What got me into this discovery was my intention to simply make a short tweet that Modernists and modernist enthusiasts are intrinsically unable to consistently say the "Third" offering of the Precious Blood. Again, it reads thus:
Eternal Father, I offer Thee the merits of the Precious Blood of Jesus, Thy well-beloved Son, my Saviour and my God, for the repentance of all unbelievers, the uprooting of heresy, and the conversion of sinners.
If the reader is familiar with modernist slogans and fundamental orientation, the justification for our claim is easy to figure out.
But, for the sake of those threading an unfamiliar ground, we must spell it out that Modernists and modernist enthusiasts are intrinsically unable to consistently say the "Third" offering of the Precious Blood because to do so, they must first admit:
- That unbelievers need repentance (not merely “dialogue” or mutual enrichment),
- That heresy is real, damnable, and not just “another theological perspective,”
- That sinners must convert — not just be “accompanied” in their journey.
But, you see? Modernism erases all three:
- It denies objective truth in religion,
- It calls heretics “separated brethren,”
- It rebrands sin as “authentic expression.”
Thus, for them to say this prayer sincerely would be to condemn their own program — to uproot Modernism itself.
So either
- the prayer goes,
- or their “new theology” does.
They can’t keep both.
An Impossible Devotion
Given what has been noted above, it easy to see that true devotion to the Precious Blood is impossible in the Ecumenical, Synodal Pan-Religious impostor church.
Why so?
- True devotion to the Precious Blood is a cry for reparation, for conversion of heretics, for cleansing from sin — not affirmation of error, ambiguity, or “diversity of beliefs.”
- The Precious Blood is the price of truth, not a symbol of pluralism.
- It was shed to conquer heresy, not to coexist with it.
- It redeems, it doesn’t dialogue with error.
- Modernism, which denies objective truth and the need for conversion, is a betrayal of the Blood.
To venerate the Precious Blood while promoting Modernism and Modernist indifferentism is to kiss Christ and still betray Him — like Judas, with blood on your lips.
Summing Up:
Is the version of the "Seven offerings of the Precious Blood" found on the website of "The Catholic Crusader" the official text? I have no idea, but does it matter?
The theology of that version is consistent with that of the Ecumenical Synodal Pan-Religious impostor church occupying Catholic buildings. Following that theology, every expression of piety becomes a poison to any vestige of Catholicity still left in unsuspecting souls.
It is undeniable that a Modernist or Modernist enthusiast cannot in conscience pick up the text of the traditional "Seven offerings of the Precious Blood" for his "devotion" if he really knows the meaning of the words and theological importance.
Every expression of piety divorced from right doctrine becomes spiritual poison. The more beautiful its form, the more deadly its deceit. Like Judas’s kiss, it comes cloaked in reverence.
Let the faithful beware: the name “Catholic” is not proof. Modernism wears masks. And “The Catholic Crusader,” if anything, crusades against the Faith, not for it.
Yes, the faithful must wary of online "devotional" sites offering Modernist poison as expressions of Catholic piety. It doesn't matter if such a website lay claims to a Catholic name - the Modernist ecumenical synodal Pan-Religious impostor church does the same, remember?
Thank you Padre. The site, for example, called prices latinae, while rich in Catholic prayers, is however filled with Modernist errors and additions. It is best to be careful and to scrutinize before using these prayers.
