Divine Mercy Novena: Modernist Distortion of Catholic Mercy
The EWTN News portal reports on the annual Divine Mercy Novena, originating from the alleged apparitions and diary of Sister Maria Faustina Kowalska, canonized in April 2000 by the antipope John Paul II. The article presents the novena prayers and Jesus’ purported promises of mercy without any reference to the necessity of the Catholic Church for salvation, the reality of eternal damnation, or the absolute primacy of God’s justice alongside His mercy. This promotion of a post-conciliar devotional novelty, built on a source condemned by the pre-conciliar Magisterium, epitomizes the theological and spiritual bankruptcy of the conciliar sect’s effort to replace the immutable doctrine of Christ the King with a sentimental, naturalistic cult of divine mercy divorced from the demands of the true Faith.
