you see fit! Your knowledge has already puffed you up so much
that you will soon burst! Truly did My Apostle write: „Knowledge
puffs up. Charity alone builds up”.

Know, therefore: you have become false prophets! You
speak and act according to the tastes of men. You are seeking to
flatter their ears. You proclaim a way of comfort and not the one of
the cross. In the coming time you will know how much your doing
provoked My anger.

And to you, bishops
I ask you: for what did I call you to the ministry, then, if you have
been called and chosen at all? You were meant to be leaders and
shepherds in My stead. But where is your imitation? Do you act as I,
your LORD and Master, did? Have I not taught you in every-
thingonlytodothewill of My FATHER andtoseek the
glory of My FATHER, and this even to the giving of your life if
need be? But you are even afraid of an opposing word or the loss of
the bishop‘s see. Did your holy predecessors and models not rather
go into exile for their courageous words? And you? Are you not
ashamed, then, to celebrate the feasts of your holy predecessors
who, for their clear and decisive words to the glory of GOD, went
with holy composure, nay, with pleasure and readiness to their
deaths? How should I be able to save My Church with you?

Let each of you ask himself what he has done in the Church to the
greater glory of GOD. Has he, for example, even helped to abolish
the appropriate expressions of whorship to GOD (removal of Com-
munion rails, omission of genuflections, irreverent behaviour in the
House of GOD)?
