But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies,....And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 2 Peter 2:1,2

carrying out a special Jubilee Year, which began last May and will end
on July 31, 2022, feast of Saint Ignatius". This was reported to Fides
