ST DOMINIC SAVIO, THE VISION OF ENGLAND, & THE SYLLABUS OF ERRORS.
In 1857 Dom Bosco related to Blessed Pius IX a vision of St. Dominic Savio:
St. Dom Bosco
'One morning, while I was doing my thanksgiving after Holy Communion, I
was taken by a strong distraction. It seemed that I was on a very vast
flat land surface, full of people surrounded by thick darkness. They
were walking, but did so as though they had lost their way and could not
see where they set their feet. Someone beside me said, "This region is
England."
St. Dominic Savio
'Then
I saw the Supreme Pontiff, Pius IX. He was dressed in a majestic
fashion, carrying in his hands a splendorous light, and advancing amidst
the multitude of people. As He advanced, the darkness gradually
disappeared and the people were bathed with so much light that it seemed
noon time.
'The friend said, "This light is the Catholic Religion, which must illuminate England."'
What is the significance of Pope Pius IX in today's day and
age? Well, it was Pope Pius IX who gave us both the infallible dogma of
the Immaculate Conception and the famous Syllabus of Errors, both of which England needs right now.
