The Assumption Proclamation (1950)

A video of the Proclamation of the Dogma of the Assumption of the BVM in 1950, This was video was part of a newsreel. It was major news. I wonder what the reaction of the MSM today would be if a Pope were to declare the Third Marian Dogma?

Of interest is that both Alcide de Gasperi, Premier of Italy, and Robert Schuman, Foreign Minister of France and later the first President of the European Parliament, were in the crowd. Devout Catholics, both, they are considered to be among the Founding Fathers of the European Union. Their idea was the resurrection of Christendom, a federation of Christian States based on the Catholic principle of subsidiarity. I am sure they are spinning in their graves at the fact that the EU has become an atheist, secular humanist, anti-Christian leviathan, dedicated to the destruction of what shreds of Christendom are left.

Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
