Our much-beloved Cardinal – a friend reminisces.

AM+DG

Dear readers this post is shared from: https://mercatornet.com/my-friend-george-pell/82659/

I felt I just had to share this beautiful letter, which gives us a wonderful insight into Cardinal Pell – the man and the Cardinal. Following are excerpts – please go to the original article.

My friend George Pell

A close associate of the late Cardinal reminisces about a colourful and much-loved man.

by Fr Brendan Purcell Jan 16, 2023

St Mary’s Cathedral in Sydney where George Pell was Archbishop from 2001 to 2014

“(…)

I knew nothing of then Archbishop George Pell, but I noticed that The Tablet hated his guts. I figured anyone The Tablet can’t stand must be good, so myself and my pal Dr Joe McCarroll, head of the Pro-Life Campaign in Ireland, arranged to call on him when we were on holiday in Australia.

I was surprised when the Archbishop opened the door of his residence himself, and made us tea—first time that sort of thing had happened to me.

One of my favourite interactions with Cardinal Pell was when he was preparing for a much-publicized debate on ABC television with the archbishop of atheism, Richard Dawkins. He asked a bunch of his advisers to throw up all the questions he might be asked, and when Dr Michael Casey, his private secretary, said, “the Eucharist”,’ I figured Dawkins would never ask.

But he did, as you’ll see below. Here are a few exchanges from that 2012 debate:

Pell: What he says is what Richard is describing as nothing is a sort of mixture of particles and perhaps a vacuum with electromagnetic forces working on it. That’s what [physicist Lawrence] Krauss is talking about under the heading of nothing and there’s a very good review of this in the New York Times, not a pro-religious paper at all, where Krauss is absolutely denied and demolished, although especially by his supporters claiming that he says things come out of nothing. He doesn’t say that.

Dawkins: You can dispute exactly what is meant by nothing but whatever it is it’s very, very simple.

(Audience laughs) Dawkins: Why is that funny?

Pell: Well, I think it’s a bit funny to be trying to define nothing.

Later, on Darwin:

Pell: Darwin was a theist because he said he couldn’t believe that the immense cosmos and all the beautiful things in the world came about either by chance or out of necessity. He said, “I have to be ranked as a theist.”

Dawkins: That is just not true.

Pell: It’s on page 92 of his Autobiography. Go and have a look.

And on the Eucharist:

Dawkins: I don’t believe you really mean that the wafer turns into the body of Christ. You must mean body in some rather special sense.

Pell: Mr Dawkins, I don’t say things I don’t mean.

Dawkins: Well, then what do you mean then?

Tony Jones (moderating the debate): Can I ask you whether you mean it in a metaphorical sense…?

Pell: No, I don’t. I understand it according to a system of metaphysics. It was spelled out by the Greeks before Christ came, which we have adopted, that is there is a substance which is the core of a being and it is revealed to us through what are called accidents. Now, I believe that the core of the being becomes the bread, becomes the body and blood of Christ and continues to look exactly as it was. We believe that in the Catholic Church.

Next day, Helen Hofman, a Baptist and our house manager, said that was the first time she understood the Catholic doctrine we call transubstantiation.

(…)

Thanks to the kindness of the Chancellor of the Archdiocese, Chris Meney, I visited Cardinal Pell in prison. The prison staff were incredibly kind, allowing us an almost two-hour visit (double the official time).

Utterly unbowed, Cardinal Pell seemed to be thriving. I wasn’t surprised to hear that Emeritus Pope Benedict in the later years of his retirement thoroughly enjoyed having the Cardinal’s Prison Journals read to him. The thousands of letters he received nearly broke the prison postal service—including some deeply appreciated letters from Pope Francis.

Like Pope Benedict’s writings, Pell’s Prison Journals are a classic of Christian spiritual literature. I advised him that he should condense the Journals into a single volume. Now I’m grateful to Fr Fessio SJ, of Ignatius Press that he printed the lot, they’re an enthralling read, the best thing the Cardinal had ever written.

Not all that long ago, I was coming back from a class in English with Korean friends when I met Cardinal Pell in our sitting room. He was bellowing “Babylon has fallen!” The news had just come in that Cardinal Becciu, the bête noir of the Cardinal, had been fired by Pope Francis. But as someone who himself had undergone an abuse of process, Cardinal Pell felt his fellow cardinal had been most unfairly treated.

Another time, when I accompanied Cardinal Pell to a film, The Death of Stalin, where there’s huge jockeying for power in the Central Committee, he remarked that the Kremlin was just like the Vatican.

(…)

When the proprietor of Alfredo’s restaurant near Circular Quay expressed his concern for him, then before the courts, Cardinal Pell said with utter conviction that he was completely at peace; he and God knew he’d done nothing wrong. And that was all that mattered. It was a peace that never left him.

Why did so many, including me, a mere member of the basso clero, love him?

He used to call Lesley, the lady who cleaned our rooms, his angel. So when he left for his appointment in Rome, she presented him with an angel. For the Cardinal, everyone mattered, whether they were a visiting Patriarch or Lesley. A rather pompous bishop demanded some liturgical garment for a ceremony in St Mary’s Cathedral and our hardworking sacristan had to tell him he wasn’t Gammarelli (the papal tailor).

Stung, the high-ranking cleric complained to Cardinal Pell, who told our sacristan he’d been quite right.

From a loftier view now than his earthly 6-foot 4-inches of height, may he continue to keep the Church on the right rails of truth and governance as he tried to do all during his life as seminary rector, Archbishop, Cardinal, Prefect of the Secretariat for Economy – and even in his retirement.”

 

 

 

 

Pope Benedict – What comes next? (Prophecies and Rome)

AM+DG

Today is the day of Pope Benedict XVI’s funeral.

He had endured nearly 10 years of isolation – some say “a prisoner”. The man who sits on the Chair of Peter – (elected, but not chosen) – during this time, made a point of visiting him, and even public displays of praying with him. He was forced into this position. Jesus message on the day that the false prophet was elected (13th March, 2013):

“My beloved Pope Benedict XVI was persecuted and fled, as foretold. I have not appointed this person, who claims to come in My Name. He, Pope Benedict, will guide My followers towards the Truth. I have not deserted him and I will hold him close to My Heart and give him the comfort he needs at this terrible time.His throne has been stolen. His power has not.”

About this day, it seemed to me that the date itself had to be manipulated – a mockery of Our Lady (13th) – one of many to come. I remember there were many things about this election – one was that there were more ballots than usual allowed on this day.

Pope Benedict was astute. He still managed to do things behind the scenes, even though he had “minders” who travelled between Francis’ court and the place where he lived. One thing that stands out, and that puts a smile on my face, when he collaborated with Cardinal Sarah to write a book, and published without the Vatican knowing anything about it. It was about celibacy and the priesthood. They got in first, before the Vatican could announce anything about celibacy. Afterwards, they tried to make the publisher remove Benedict’s name from the authors.

Last Humiliation: Requiem Without Roman Canon

The article below is from Gloria TV:

https://gloria.tv/post/M9V84VKc3BiP6ZTq7iAnbitHA

The Vatican has published the brochure for Benedict XVI’s funeral.

Most strikingly, for the first time since at least the 6th century, the Roman Canon will NOT be used at a Requiem for a Pope.

Also, the Gospel will not be solemnly sung in Latin – which has always been the case at such a liturgy.

Francis, 86, will not celebrate but be present in a cope. Nevertheless, he is referred to as the “presider”. His parts are labelled “The Holy Father”, but at the Eucharistic Prayer the booklet simply refers to “the celebrant” that is Cardinal Re, 88, the Dean of the College of Cardinals. (This, last part, is probably a blessing.

However, the devil does not have the last laugh. Today there will be many Requiem Masses celebrated for our beloved pontiff at the same time that it will be celebrated in Rome.

Prophesies involving Benedict and the devastation of Rome after his death.

  • POPE PIUS X  (1909)

Here is the prophecy of Pope Pius X, where he states that the “forced to flee” pope-martyr (also described by Sister Lucia of Fatima as the pope in white who will be killed) will have his name… Giuseppe = Joseph.  This could only be Joseph Ratzinger, Benedict XVI:

” In 1909, during an audience for the general chapter of the Franciscan Order, Pope Pius X suddenly fell into a trance. The audience waited in reverent silence. When he awoke, the Pope cried out:

“What I see is terrifying! Will it be myself? Will it be my successor? What is certain is that the Pope will quit Rome, and in leaving the Vatican he will have to walk over the dead bodies of his priests. [This was precisely the vision sister Lucia received of the martyr pope dressed in white!

Just prior to his death (August 20, 1914), Pope Pius X had another vision:

“I have seen one of my successors, of the same name, who was fleeing over the bodies of his brethren. He will take refuge in some hiding place; but after a brief respite he will die a cruel death.

  • OUR LADY OF GOOD SUCCESS (1563 – 1635)

“How the Church will suffer on that occasion – the dark night of the lack of a Prelate and Father to watch over them… The lukewarmness of all the souls consecrated to God in the priestly and religious state will delay the coming of this Prelate and Father.”

  • July 7, 1880  Jesus tells Marie-Julie Jahenny:

“The church will be deprived of Her supreme chief that is now the guidance. [This is the loss of Benedict’s administrative function- 2013.] The Chief of the Church will be offended outrageously.” [But “as a Lamb before the slaughter, he opened not his mouth.” ]

  • Ven. Bartholomew Holzhauser,founder of the secular clergy societies in the eighteenth century: “God will permit a great evil against His Church: they will come bursting in suddenly and unexpectedly while bishops and priests are asleep. They shall enter into Italy and devastate Rome, burn churches and destroy everything.”
    • Mother Elena Aiello, famed stigmatic who was often consulted by Pope Pius XII: “Italy will be shaken by a great revolution (…) Russia will prevail over the nations, and especially over Italy, and will raise the red flag over the dome of St. Peter.”

 

  • Elena Leonardi, spiritually guided by Padre Pio: “The Vatican will be invaded by communist revolutionaries. They will betray the Pope. Italy will suffer a major revolt and will be cleansed by a great revolution. Russia will march on Rome and the Pope will be severely endangered”.

 

  • Maria Steiner, mystic: “The holy Church will be persecuted, Rome will be without a shepherd.” Instead, as Our Lord said, “The Abomination of Desolation” shall “stand in the Holy Place” which can only be St. Peter’s.  Or as St. Paul said, that the “Man of Sin” “the Son of Perdition” will sit in “the Temple of God.” 

 

  • When Cardinal Manning Prophesied Exactly What We Are Living Through, Including the City of Rome Losing the Vicariate of Christ.

From: https://www.barnhardt.biz/2022/12/31/when-cardinal-manning-prophesied-exactly-what-we-are-living-through-including-the-city-of-rome-losing-the-vicariate-of-christ-anyone-still-living-in-rome-would-do-well-to-get-out-asap/

“The writers of the Church tell us that in the latter days the city of Rome will probably become apostate from the Church and Vicar of Jesus Christ; and that Rome will again be punished, for he will depart from it; and the judgment of God will fall on the place from which he once reigned over the nations of the world. For what is it that makes Rome sacred, but the presence of the Vicar of Jesus Christ? What has it that should be dear in the sight of God, save only the presence of the Vicar of His Son ? Let the Church of Christ depart from Rome, and Rome will be no more in the eyes of God than Jerusalem of old. Jerusalem, the Holy City, chosen by God, was cast down and consumed by fire, because it crucified the Lord of Glory; and the city of Rome, which has been the seat of the Vicar of Jesus Christ for eighteen hundred years, if it become apostate, like Jerusalem of old, will suffer a like condemnation. And, therefore, the writers of the Church tell us that the city of Rome has no prerogative except only that the Vicar of Christ is there ; and if it become unfaithful, the same judgments which fell on Jerusalem, hallowed though it was by the presence of the Son of God, of the Master, and not the disciple only, shall fall likewise upon Rome.

The apostasy of the city of Rome from the Vicar of Christ, and its destruction by Antichrist, may be thoughts so new to many Catholics, that I think it well to recite the text of theologians in the greatest repute. First, Malvenda, who writes expressly on the subject, states as the opinion of Ribera, Gaspar Melus, Viegas, Suarez, Bellarmine, and Bosius, that Rome shall apostatise from the faith, drive away the Vicar of Christ, and return to its ancient paganism.* Malvenda’s words are: “But Rome itself in the last times of the world will return to its ancient idolatry, power, and imperial greatness. It will cast out its Pontiff, altogether apostatise from the Christian faith, terribly persecute the Church, shed the blood of martyrs more cruelly than ever, and will recover its former state of abundant wealth, or even greater than it had under its first rulers.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Suffering Church Part 2: The Church, Pope Benedict and the False Prophet

AM+DG

There is no doubt that Pope Benedict XVI suffered (as shown in yesterday’s post). He expected it. He was Pope JPII’s right hand man and ‘Prefect of the Congregation of the Faith’. As such, he saw the sufferings of St JPII. Jesus told us:

“Many Popes have been prisoners in the Holy See surrounded by Masonic groups who do not represent God. They hate God and have spent fifty years spreading untruths about the Mercy of God. Their works have led to the collapse of the Catholic Church.This was not an accident. It was deliberately and cunningly plotted in order to destroy the faith of the Church. To destroy the homage of ordinary Catholics to the One True God. For this you will now be cast aside into the wilderness.  “(7 May 2012 Message 0413).

Pope Benedict XVI said on the day he was elected :

“Pray for me, that I do not flee for fear of the wolves.” In fact, he was not supposed to be chosen. As has been revealed, the “St. Gallen Mafia” (self-named group of Cardinal electors)  had been meeting regularly, over a period of years, designing strategies so that their own man would be elected. They did not want Ratzinger to be elected. Their man — a bishop from Argentina (Jorge Bergoglio) – narrowly missed out. The St Gallen group kept meeting. In the end they succeeded when Pope Benedict was “ousted” (Jesus’ words). The newly elected took the name “Francis”

Of this, Jesus said:

“This pope may be elected by members within the Catholic Church, but he will be the false prophet. His electors are wolves in sheep’s clothing and are members of the secret Masonic and evil group led by Satan. This is how Satan will try to destroy My Church. (12 April 2012 Message 0394)

Jesus also said:

My beloved Pope Benedict XVI is the last true pope on this Earth.”

On the day that Francis ascended the throne (13 March 2013), Jesus said:

“… My beloved Pope Benedict XVI was persecuted and fled, as foretold. I have not appointed this person, who claims to come in My Name. He, Pope Benedict, will guide My followers towards the Truth. I have not deserted him and I will hold him close to My Heart and give him the comfort he needs at this terrible time. His throne has been stolen. His power has not.” (Message 0728)

++++++++++++++++++

The suffering  of the Church in these times has also been prophesied:

  • St Francis of Assisi (1226) warned us about a false pope and his effect fruits:

“…there will be very few Christians who will obey the true Sovereign Pontiff and the Roman Church with loyal hearts and perfect charity. At the time of this tribulation a man, not canonically elected, will be raised to the Pontificate, who, by his cunning, will endeavour to draw many into error and death.

“. Then scandals will be multiplied, our Order will be divided, and many others will be entirely destroyed, because they will consent to error instead of opposing it.

“. There will be such diversity of opinions and schisms among the people, the religious and the clergy, that, except those days were shortened, according to the words of the Gospel, even the elect would be led into error, were they not specially guided, amid such great confusion, by the immense mercy of God.

“7. Some preachers will keep silence about the truth, and others will trample it under foot and deny it. Sanctity of life will be held in derision even by those who outwardly profess it, for in those days Jesus Christ will send them not a true Pastor, but a destroyer.“

 

  • ANNE CATHERINE EMMERICH:

May 13, 1820:  “I saw also the relationship between the two popes. . .I saw how baleful (harmful) would be the consequences of this false church

October 1, 1820  “The Little Black Man in Rome, whom I see so often, has many working for him without their clearly knowing for what end. He has his agents in the New Black Church also. If the Pope leaves Rome, the enemies of the Church will get the upper hand…”

  • LA SALETTE: 1846
  • ‘Rome will lose the faith and become the seat of the antichrist.’

‘The Church will be eclipsed, the world will be in consternation..” [Abbé Combe, the editor of the 1904 edition, adds the following note after this paragraph. ‘I have from Melanie that the Church will be eclipsed in this sense, that 1) one will not know which is the true pope; 2) for a time: the holy Sacrifice will cease to be offered in churches, and also in houses: so there will be no more public worship. But she saw that yet the holy Sacrifice would not cease: it would be offered in caves, in tunnels, in barns and in alcoves.’]

  • VEN. ARCHBISHOP FULTON SHEEN (1950)

“The mystical body on earth today will have its Judas Iscariot and he will be the false prophet. Satan will recruit him from among our bishops.“

 “The False Prophet will have a religion without a cross. A religion without a world to come. A religion to destroy religions. There will be a counterfeit church. Christ’s Church [the Catholic Church] will be one. And the False Prophet will create the other. The false church will be worldly  ecumenical, and global. It will be a loose federation of churches. And religions forming some type of global association. A world parliament of churches. It will be emptied of all divine content and will be the mystical body of the Antichrist.”

Jesus speaks to the Suffering Church:

Excerpts from Book of Truth

7 May 2012 @ 6:19pm; Message 0413

“My dearly beloved daughter, to My churches through the world I say this. Know that I will always be with you at your side as long as your proclaim My Most Holy Word.

To My Catholic Church, even though you caused torment as a result of evil sin know that I will never forsake you, although you have sinned. But know this.Your faith in Me is not as strong as it should be. You do not love Me as you once did. All the wealth you accumulated, put a distance between Me, your Christ and Saviour, and God’s ordinary children. You scaled such lofty heights that I could not reach up to you and offer you My hand to salvage you from the rot within your core. You were taught the truth by My Peter upon whose rock you were built. And what did you do?

You built thick stone walls around you. This caused a lack of communication with those whom you needed to feed with My Body and Blood so that their souls could be nourished. The respect required of you in administering My Most Holy Eucharist was lost when you demeaned My Presence. When Vatican II declared new rules they were introduced by those evil Masonic forces from within your corridors. They cunningly presented new ways to administer My Holy Eucharist which are insulting to Me.

Your so called tolerant teachings proclaimed a series of lies including the refusal to acknowledge the power of St Michael the Archangel. He is the protector of the Church against Satan. Those forces among you knew this. This is why you stopped all prayers requesting his help before Me at the Holy Mass.

Then you perpetrated the biggest untruth that Hell was not to be feared. That it was just a metaphor. For this lie, accepted as the truth by many of God’s children, has meant the loss of billions of souls.

How you offend Me. For those humble and sacred servants among you I ask that you go back to My Teachings. Never allow riches to accumulate amongst you and think that they are acceptable in My eyes. Riches, gold and power accumulated in My Name will be your downfall. You cannot profit from My Holy Word. You have suffered because of the way you have offended Me.

Never think that I am blaming the many Holy Popes who have sat in the seat of Peter. Their mission has always been protected.

Many Popes have been prisoners in the Holy See surrounded by Masonic groups who do not represent God. They hate God and have spent fifty years spreading untruths about the Mercy of God. Their works have led to the collapse of the Catholic Church. This was not an accident. It was deliberately and cunningly plotted in order to destroy the faith of the Church. To destroy the homage of ordinary Catholics to the One True God.

For this you will now be cast aside into the wilderness. After Pope Benedict, you will be led by Me, from the Heavens.

Oh how you have made Me weep.

I call on all of My sacred servants who know the truth to stand up and follow Me, your Jesus, to spread the truth of My Teachings in humble servitude. You must find the courage and the strength to rise from the ashes. Above all, reject the lies which will shortly be presented to you by the False Prophet.

He will merge the Catholic Church with other churches, including pagan churches, to become one abomination, a one world church without a soul.

Your Jesus

  • “Please recite this Crusade Prayer (44) Strength to defend my Faith against the false prophet

    ‘Dear Jesus, give me the strength to focus on Your Teachings and to proclaim Your Holy Word at all times. Never allow me to be tempted to idolise the false prophet, who will try to present himself as You. Keep my love for You strong. Give me the graces of Discernment, so that I will never deny the Truth contained in the Holy Bible no matter how many lies are presented to me to encourage me to turn my back on Your True Word.  Amen’

    The Truth is written in Holy Scripture.”

 

  • “Make no mistake, the Truth has been revealed to you. I have told you, My followers, how you will be deceived. This will be very difficult for you because you will question this imposter who sits in My Father’s House. My beloved Pope Benedict XVI was persecuted and fled, as foretold. I have not appointed this person, who claims to come in My Name.” (13 March 2013 @ 9:20pm; Message 0728)

     

  • Mother of Salvation: The time for me to crush the serpent is drawing nearer

    10 April 2012 @ 8:45pm; Message 0392

    “… The time for me to crush the serpent is drawing nearer, until the day when Satan and his demons are cast into the wilderness, much confusion will erupt on Earth. For believers in my Son, it will be a time of torment. They will be pulled into two different directions, by the Catholic Church. One half will believe, out of duty, the need to follow the false prophet, the pope who will follow Pope Benedict XVI.

    He, the beast, is dressed like a lamb, but is not from my Father, God the Most High, and will fool poor souls, including priests, bishops and cardinals.Many will follow him and believe him to be sent by God to rule over His Church on Earth. Sadly, many souls will follow his teachings, which will be insulting to My Father. Others, filled with the Holy Spirit and given the graces of Discernment because of their humble souls, will know instantly, that an imposter sits in the Church in Rome.

    The new false pope is already scheming, even before he ascends to the Throne of the Seat of Peter, to denounce the Teachings of my Son. Then he will denounce me, the Blessed Mother of God and ridicule my role as Co-Redemptrix.      …

    Pray, pray, pray, for without prayer, especially the recital of my Holy Rosary, Satan can pull you away from the Holy Word of my precious Son.

    Remember also the importance of fasting, for it keeps the deceiver at bay.

    Without regular prayer, my children will find it hard to remain close to my Son.

    Never fear the future, children, for once you remain close to my Son you will be protected and given the necessary Graces to prepare your souls and those of your families, for the New Era of Peace foretold so long ago.

    Your beloved Mother

    Queen of the Earth, Mother of Salvation”

Jesus describes the imminent advent of the False Prophet

  • 17 February 2013 @ 7:00pm; Message 0708

“My dearly beloved daughter, the schism within the Catholic Church, as foretold, will now be witnessed, for all the world to see. The departure of My dearly beloved Holy Vicar, Pope Benedict XVI, marks the beginning of the end. I have, through you, My chosen prophet, over the last two years, tried to prepare My Church on earth for this sad event.

The Masonic elite have grasped control over My Church and they will wield the most wicked deceit upon Catholics. The Keys of Rome are now within My Hands having been passed over to Me by My Father. I will direct all of My followers so that the Truth can be sustained and that My Holy Word remains intact.

The false prophet will now take over the Seat in Rome and My Word, just as it was in My Time on earth, will be treated as heresy. …

My followers must remain calm and pray for the salvation of all of My most sacred servants who will be caught up in this abomination. I call on them to respond as follows.

Continue to follow My Teachings. Never waive from the Word of God. Remain loyal to your sacred duties and administer the Holy Sacraments as you have been instructed by Me.

The Teachings of the Catholic Church, based on its formation by My Apostle Peter, remain infallible. Now this will change once the foundation is rocked by the changes to come. Shortly, you will no longer recognise My Church and you will feel very uncomfortable when you witness how My Holy Word will be tampered with.”

  • 8 March 2013 @ 2:05pm; Message 0724

” The cunning imposter, who has lain in waiting in the wings, patiently, will soon declare his reign over My poor unsuspecting sacred servants. The pain he will inflict is too hard for Me to bear, and yet, his reign will culminate in the final purging of evil from within the core of My Church.

 

He has carefully manipulated his position and soon his pompous demeanor will be seen amidst his splendid court. His pride, arrogance and self-obsession will be carefully hidden from the world in the beginning.  To the outside world, a sigh of relief will be heard as the trumpets peal out to announce his term as head of My Church.

My Body is My Church, but it will not be to Me, Jesus Christ, he will pledge his loyalty, for he does not possess any love for Me.  His loyalty is to the beast and how he will laugh and sneer at My sacred servants who will support him. 

He who dares to sit in My Temple, and who has been sent by the evil one, cannot speak the truth, for he does not come from Me. He has been sent to dismantle My Church and tear it up into little pieces before he will spit it out from his vile mouth.

My Body is My Church. My Church is still alive but only those who speak the Truth and adhere to the Holy Word of God can be part of My Church on earth. Now that the final insult is to be manifested against Me, Jesus Christ, through the Chair of Peter, you will finally understand the Truth.

The Book of Truth, foretold to Daniel, for the time of the end, will not be taken lightly by members of My Church, for its content will sicken My beloved sacred servants when they realise that I speak the Truth.

The false prophet – he who poses as the leader of My Church – is ready to wear the robes, which were not made for him.

He will desecrate My Holy Eucharist and will divide My Church in half and then by half again.

He will make efforts to dismiss those loyal followers of My beloved Holy Vicar Pope Benedict XVI, appointed by Me.

He will root out all those who are loyal to My Teachings and throw them to the wolves.

His actions won’t become apparent immediately, but soon the signs will be seen as he sets out to seek the support of influential world leaders and those in high places.

When the abomination takes root the changes will be sudden. Announcements by him to create a united Catholic Church by linking up with all faiths and other religions will come soon after.

He will head up the new one-world religion and will reign over pagan religions. He will embrace atheism by waivering the stigma he will say is attached in the pursuit of so-called human rights.  All sins, in the Eyes of God, will be deemed acceptable by this new inclusive-Church.

Any one who dares to challenge him will be sought out and punished. Those priests, bishops and cardinals who oppose him will be excommunicated and stripped of their titles. Others will be bullied and persecuted with many priests having to go into hiding.

To those poor sacred servants of Mine who recognise My Voice now, please hear Me as I reach out to you to bring you comfort. I would never ask you to reject My Church on earth for it was I, your beloved Saviour, who created it. I offered My Body up as the Living Sacrifice to save you. You have been given the responsibility to testify on My behalf in order to save the souls of those whom you instruct and guide.

All you can do is trust in Me and continue to serve Me. What you must not do is to accept any doctrine presented to you and which you will know, instantly, is not in accordance with My Teachings.  You must do what your heart tells you, but know this.

This period is going to cause you deep pain and the raw grief you will experience when you see how My Church will be desecrated will leave you weeping. But you must recognize the lies which are to be presented to you for what they are – an affront to My death on the Cross.

This destruction may result in the collapse of the structure of My Church. The changes and adaptations of buildings along with the new temple created for the one world church will be crafted and placed in Rome. 

Be assured that, just as My Temple is desecrated, that I, Jesus Christ, the Saviour of all mankind, will be discarded and thrown into the gutter.

Your Jesus

++++++++++++++++++++++

The prophecies are all coming to fruition. We have been warned by heaven for centuries about what is to come, but somehow we dismissed or ignored them. Satan is destroying the Church, brick by brick. Satan is very cunning, as we know, and has employed all of society in his evil plans.

Pray for Christ’s Church; pray for our priests and  bishops: they are also under attack and need our prayers. We need them to fortify us with the Sacraments. Stand up for Jesus!!!

The Book of Truth was prophesied in Daniel. Jesus loves all of us and weeps for the persecution we are undergoing. We are forewarned of events in the Book of Truth.

 

 

 

 

Prophecies of Pope Benedict’s sufferings

AM+DGProphecies are not always as clear as they seem to be. A clear example is the Fatima prophecy – the part about a a bishop dressed in white, and a figure referred to later as the “pope”. Many years ago, I always thought they were one and the same person, but in recent years we have had a pope, and then also a “bishop dressed in white”. The Pope climbs the “mountain”, stumbling over the dead bodies of priests and religious, and is finally “killed” with “arrows and bullets”.

Is the mountain the mountain of metaphorical Crucifixion? The one where the Mystical Body of Christ (the Church), will once again be tortured and mocked and finally crucified? Are the dead bodies of priests and religious the victims of this spiritual war? Are the bullets and arrows, the weapons used, actually words and actions; the denial of Hell, the blasphemies against our Lady, the Rosary and the traditional faithful; the scandals amongst the bishops and priests; the changes to the Sacraments, heresies, blasphemies and pagan ceremonies?Now, I have had to rethink it all. God’s ways are different to ours. Surely this message is figurative, and the meaning unknown because the “Third Secret” was not fully released. It is all guesswork.

Pope Benedict  after he was “ousted” (by the false prophet), lived in a “place other than before”. Did he just live a quiet life and pray a lot for the Church? Did he suffer? When he visited his dying brother, why did they quickly put him back into a plane and rush him back to Rome? Persecution of theology, silenced, ridicule of his person and teachings, scorned by religious peers who would not shake his hand…how else did he suffer?

++++++++++++

In the Prophecies of Our Lady and the Saints, there have been many prophecies about the sufferings of a pope in these end times.

Overview of prophecies about the sufferings of a pope in the end times:

Mother Mariana De Jesus Torres (17th Century) – Our Lady of Good Success, Quito, Ecuador:

“This apparent triumph of Satan will bring enormous sufferings to the good Pastors of the Church, the many good priests, and the Supreme Pastor and Vicar of Christ on Earth, who, a prisoner in the Vatican, will shed secret and bitter tears in the presence of his God and Lord, beseeching light, sanctity, and perfection for all the clergy of the world, of whom he is King and Father.”

Bl. Anne Catherine Emmerich: 1820

July, 1820

“I saw the Holy Father surrounded by traitors and in great distress about the Church. He had visions and apparitions in his hour of greatest need. I saw many good pious Bishops; but they were weak and wavering, their cowardice often got the upper hand…Then I saw darkness spreading around and people no longer seeking the true Church.”  

August 10, 1820

“I see the Holy Father in great anguish. He lives in a palace other than before and he admits only a limited number of friends near him. I fear that the Holy Father will suffer many more trials before he dies. … The Holy Father and the Church are verily in so great a distress that one must implore God night and day…”

“Last night I was taken to Rome where the Holy Father immersed in his sorrow, is still hiding to elude dangerous demands (made upon him). He is still very weak, and exhausted by sorrows, cares and prayers. He can now trust but few people. That is mainly why he is hiding. But he still has with him an aged priest who has much simplicity and godliness … It was required of me to inform him while he was praying, of the traitors and evil doers who were to be found among the high ranking servants living close to him, so that he might be made aware of it.”

October 1, 1820

“The Church is in great danger. We must pray so that the Pope may not leave Rome; countless evils would result if he did. They are now demanding something from him. The Protestant doctrine and that of the schismatic Greeks are to spread everywhere. I now see that in this place (Rome) the (Catholic) Church is being so cleverly undermined, that there hardly remain a hundred or so priests who have not been deceived. They all work for destruction, even the clergy. A great devastation is now near at hand.”

La Salette: 1846

  • “The Holy Father will suffer a great deal because for a while the Church will yield to large persecution, a time of darkness and the Church will witness a frightful crisis”
  • “Several religious institutions will lose all faith and will lose many souls…A great number of priests and members of religious orders will break away from the true religion. Among these people, there will even be bishops”

Pope Pius 1X:

“The church will suffer exceedingly. Her servants and her chieftain will be mocked, scourged, and martyred.”

Fatima 1917

“The world will be afflicted with wars, famine, the martyrdom of the good, persecution of the Church and the Holy Father, the annihilation of nations, and apostasy from the one true Faith.

Our Lady to Fr. Gobbi 

  • “The episcopates are maintaining a strange silence and are no longer reacting. When my Pope speaks with courage and reaffirms with force the truths of the Catholic faith, he is no longer listened to and is even publicly criticized and derided. There is a subtle and diabolical tactic, woven in secrecy by Masonry, which is used today against the Holy Father in order to bring ridicule upon his person and his work and to neutralize his Magisterium.”

++++++++++++++++

There is no doubt that Pope Benedict suffered.

Those who know that the prophecies foretold – that My Church will be the final target in ridding the world of all traces of Me, Jesus Christ –  are now taking place, will follow Me in My Remnant Army. They will remain loyal to My Teachings to the end of time.

Rise of the false prophet
They need to pray hard now, as the outcome of this attack on My Holy Vicar will be witnessed by you all. Pray, pray, pray that the false prophet will be identified for what he is. Watch out for his demeanour. His attention seeking agenda, the way in which My misguided sacred servants will drop in awe at his feet. Then listen to what he has to say, carefully. His humility will be false, his intentions mischievous and the love he exudes will be all about him. He will be seen as being innovative, dynamic – a breath of fresh air. While he is driven and energetic, his powers will not come from God the Eternal Father. They come from Satan, the evil one….”

I have, through you, My chosen prophet, over the last two years, tried to prepare My Church on earth for this sad event.
  • Jesus: The Crowning of Thorns during My Crucifixion is symbolic.  13 November 2012 @ 5:00pm; Message 0612 “My dearly beloved daughter, the crowning of thorns during My Crucifixion is symbolic for the end times. Just as the Church is My Body on earth, so it too will be crowned with the thorns of scourging as it was during My journey to Calvary. The Crown of Thorns signifies the Head of My Holy Church on earth. Pope Benedict will suffer much as he will be persecuted for speaking the Truth. He will be crushed, as Head of My Church, and no mercy will be shown to him. The opposition will mount quickly as he will be declared no longer relevant. Those who will claim to be more modern  in their approach to apostolic ways will swipe at him and ridicule his words. Then the Head of My Church will be replaced by the Head of the Serpent….”+++++++++++++++

There are many more prophecies about Pope Benedict in the Book of Truth. Anyone with the power of Reason can equate these messages with the truth of events that have happened. These ones, are all in the couple of years before he left the Vatican.

+++++++++++++++++

Jesus speaks and describes the False Prophet in some of these, and also many other messages. Since it seems that we now no longer have the one who has been restraining, it makes sense to expect the worst from the False Prophet.  I will publish more of these messages in full, in the next few weeks.

POPE BENEDICT’S RESIGNATION WAS INVALID, HE IS STILL THE POPE

Posted on June 15, 2022 by abyssum

THE CATHOLIC MONITOR

In 2012 even Leftist America said a Pope’s Resignation “had to be cleared by Canon Law; it was determined that if the resignation was Voluntary, Enacted Properly and Absolutely Necessary”

Anti Pope Francis Antipope, Heretic and Antichrist Apostate (Jorge Bergoglio)

It’s very interesting that in 2012 even the leftist America was saying about a pope’s resignation:

“This had to be cleared by canon law; it was determined that if the resignation was voluntary, enacted properly and absolutely necessary.” – The Catholic Monitor

There are three basic schools of thought on this phenomenon, the first of which has been nicknamed “Benevacantism.” The first two theories were openly discussed by Burke and Coffin (and summarized by Alt in his post), the third was only hinted at. The three theories are:

  1. Pope Benedict’s resignation was invalid; he is still pope. (Advocates: Bp. Rene Gracida, Antonio Socci, Msgr. Nicola Bux.)
  2. The conclave that elected Pope Francis was invalid or corrupt, thus voiding the election of Pope Francis.(Advocates: While I am not aware of any prominent figures who have announced explicitly that they believe Francis is not pope based on an invalid conclave, those advancing the possibility include Church Militantand Roberto de Mattei.)
  3. The resignation of Pope Benedict was valid, as was the election of Pope Francis. But sometime after his election, Pope Francis officially promulgated heresy from the See of Peter, and thereby abdicated his office automatically. (Proponents: the signatories of the Open Letter to the College of Bishops, including Fr. Aidan Nichols, Peter Kwasniewski, Fr. John Hunwicke, and John Rist.)

In a December 2016 interview with Catholic World Report, Burke was asked what might lead to the abdication of a pope:

CWR: Some people are saying that the pope could separate himself from communion with the Church. Can the pope legitimately be declared in schism or heresy?

Burke: If a Pope would formally profess heresy he would cease, by that act, to be the Pope. It’s automatic. And so, that could happen.

CWR: That could happen.

Burke: Yes.

The clear implication here, as well as the explanation for Cardinal Burke’s rejection of virtually everything that Pope Francis has formally taught, is that he thinks Francis hasn’t taught anything magisterial because he doesn’t believe Francis is pope. – Where Peter Is [https://wherepeteris.com/does-cardinal-burke-think-francis-is-an-antipope/%5D

Recently, the Modernist leftist America is discussing the possibility of Francis resigning:

This announcement might have gone unnoticed had it not been that Celestine V was the first pope to resign voluntarily, and that Benedict XVI had made a pilgrimage to the same pope’s tomb four years before announcing his resignation from the chair of Peter. It was this, Gerry says, “that provided ammunition for the guns of speculation.” 

And while neither Gerry nor Colleen believes a papal resignation is imminent, on this episode of “Inside the Vatican” they consider the reasons to heed, or not, the rumors that Pope Francis will soon follow in the footsteps of Benedict XVI and Celestine V.[https://www.americamagazine.org/faith/2022/06/09/pope-francis-retire-resign-podcast-2022-243132]

Moreover, why might Francis have been talking in 2021 about Dante since he is apparently only mostly interested in the socialist this-world utopias and rarely, if ever, talks about the Heaven and Hell of the poet’s epic?

Might it have something to do with Dante’s calling one of Pope Benedict XVI’s favorite popes, Pope Celestine V, who resigned a coward in Hell?

In 2013, Mark Giszczak wrote:

St. Celestine V. Scott Hahn made an interesting post in which he mentions Pope Benedict’s two trips to pray by the tomb and relics (respectively) of Celestine V–notably the Pope left his pallium on Celestine’s tomb on April 29, 2009. (Interestingly, as Rocco Palmo notes, this pallium was the one with which Benedict was originally vested. The pope “retired” it from use and went to a smaller size of pallium. More here: Fr. Z, NLM)…

… Now, on to Dante! In his Inferno, Canto III, lines 58-63 (in Dorothy Sayers’ translation) we read:

And when I’d noted here and there a shade
Whose face I knew, I saw and recognized
The coward spirit of the man who made

The great refusal; and that proof sufficed;
Here was that rabble, here without a doubt,
Whom God and whom His enemies despised.

Now, Celestine is found in Hell’s “vestibule” here with the futile, who run around after meaningless banners, goaded by hornets. They are at the very “top” so to speak, of Dante’s Hell. Dante’s condemnation of Celestine V was rooted in the problematic reign of his successor, Boniface VIII, who imprisoned his predecessor. Apparently, Dante felt that Celestine should have embraced the office and out of cowardice or a faint heart, he abdicated, which led to very bad things in the reign of the next pope. Celestine died in a fetid jail cell. [https://catholicbiblestudent.com/2013/02/pope-benedict-xvi-resigns-dante.html]

Did Boniface kill Celestine by jailing him?

Francis apologist Fr. Dwight Longenecker shows that Francis knows all about Celestine:

Dante placed Boniface in hell for his crimes and it was Boniface VIII who pushed papal claims to worldly power to their most extreme point. A corrupt and ambitious man, Boniface demanded that all people be subject to the Roman Pontiff and insisted that kings and princes bow to his power. After power struggles with King Philip IV of France, Boniface was imprisoned and it was rumored that he took his own life — by gnawing off his own arms and bashing his head against a wall. Boniface was accused of many horrible crimes by his enemies, and even if innocent of the worst offenses, he was still a completely worldly man world who stands as the stunning contrast to Celestine’s simplicity and godliness.

By proclaiming a jubilee year in honor of Celestine Pope Francis is making a clear call for all Catholics to turn away from the worldly values of power, pride and corruption and walk in the way of Christ. [https://www.patheos.com/blogs/standingonmyhead/2014/07/the-real-celestine-prophecy.html]

In 2012, the Francis apologist leftist America magazine wrote an article about “Celestine’s Prophecy”:

Celestine V, the pope who quit, is remembered mostly as a footnote. Histories of the popes treat him as a medieval curiosity. Dante condemned him to the inferno for his cowardice. More recently, his resignation has been viewed as the odd precedent that would permit an ailing pope to step down… 

… He [Celestine] announced that he would resign, the first and only pope to do so.

This had to be cleared by canon law; it was determined that if the resignation was voluntary, enacted properly and absolutely necessary—if the pope was useless or suffered a serious impediment such as insanity—resignation would be acceptable.

The holy man, officially deemed useless, fled. But his authoritarian successor, Pope Boniface VIII, was evidently uneasy with having another pope about and ordered him imprisoned. It is “not far-fetched” to suggest that Boniface had Peter [Celestine] murdered.[https://www.americamagazine.org/issue/culture/celestines-prophecy ]

It’s very interesting that in 2012 even the leftist America was saying about a pope’s resignation:

“This had to be cleared by canon law; it was determined that if the resignation was voluntary, enacted properly and absolutely necessary.”

Pray an Our Father now for reparation for the sins committed because of Francis’s Amoris Laetitia. 

Pray an Our Father now for the restoration of the Church as well as the Triumph of the Kingdom of the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Stop for a moment of silence, ask Jesus Christ what He wants you to do now and next. In this silence remember God, Father, Son and Holy Ghost – Three Divine Persons yet One God, has an ordered universe where you can know truth and falsehood as well as never forget that He wants you to have eternal happiness with Him as his son or daughter by grace. Make this a practice. By doing this you are doing more good than reading anything here or anywhere else on the Internet.

Francis Notes:

– Doctor of the Church St. Francis de Sales totally confirmed beyond any doubt the possibility of a heretical pope and what must be done by the Church in such a situation:

“[T]he Pope… WHEN he is EXPLICITLY a heretic, he falls ipso facto from his dignity and out of the Church, and the Church MUST either deprive him, or, as some say, declare him deprived, of his Apostolic See.”
(The Catholic Controversy, by St. Francis de Sales, Pages 305-306)

Saint Robert Bellarmine, also, said “the Pope heretic is not deposed ipso facto, but must be declared deposed by the Church.”
[https://archive.org/stream/SilveiraImplicationsOfNewMissaeAndHereticPopes/Silveira%20Implications%20of%20New%20Missae%20and%20Heretic%20Popes_djvu.txt]

– “If Francis is a Heretic, What should Canonically happen to him?”: http://www.thecatholicmonitor.com/2020/12/if-francis-is-heretic-what-should.html

– “Could Francis be a Antipope even though the Majority of Cardinals claim he is Pope?”: http://www.thecatholicmonitor.com/2019/03/could-francis-be-antipope-even-though.html

– If Francis betrays Benedict XVI & the”Roman Rite Communities” like he betrayed the Chinese Catholics we must respond like St. Athanasius, the Saintly English Bishop Robert Grosseteste & “Eminent Canonists and Theologians” by “Resist[ing]” him: https://www.thecatholicmonitor.com/2021/12/if-francis-betrays-benedict-xvi.html 

–  LifeSiteNews, “Confusion explodes as Pope Francis throws magisterial weight behind communion for adulterers,” December 4, 2017:

The AAS guidelines explicitly allows “sexually active adulterous couples facing ‘complex circumstances’ to ‘access the sacraments of Reconciliation and the Eucharist.’”

–  On February 2018, in Rorate Caeli, Catholic theologian Dr. John Lamont:

“The AAS statement… establishes that Pope Francis in Amoris Laetitia has affirmed propositions that are heretical in the strict sense.”

– On December 2, 2017, Bishop Rene Gracida:

“Francis’ heterodoxy is now official. He has published his letter to the Argentina bishops in Acta Apostlica Series making those letters magisterial documents.”

Pray an Our Father now for the restoration of the Church by the bishops by the grace of God.

…

Pray an Our Father now for the grace to know God’s Will and to do it.SHARE

Jesus to Mankind Crusade Prayer Meeting on Tues. 19th April, 2022

Prayer Theme: Faith, Family, Nations  (Groups A&F)

Bible:  Isaiah 11; 1-9

Book of Truth: 6 July, 2011

Thoughts: Our theme today is inter-related. As on many other occasions, Faith often goes together with Family and Nations. Today the readings both centred around a King. Isaiah spoke to us of a “Davidic” King, who was to come; and in the reading from the Book of Truth, Jesus spoke to us regarding the Sacraments, Which today are much disregarded and not valued. He signed this message : “Your loving Saviour; King of Mankind, Jesus Christ” (Note the date of the message – 2011- -and the reference to Pope Benedict )

Reading from the Bible

Isaiah 11: 1-9The Ideal Davidic King

1 But a shoot shall sprout from the stump of Jesse,

and from his roots a bud shall blossom.

2  The spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him:

a spirit of wisdom and of understanding,

A spirit of counsel and of strength,

a spirit of knowledge and of fear of the LORD,

3 and his delight shall be the fear of the LORD.

Not by appearance shall he judge,

nor by hearsay shall he decide,

4 But he shall judge the poor with justice,

and decide fairly for the land’s afflicted.

He shall strike the ruthless with the rod of his mouth,

and with the breath of his lips he shall slay the wicked.

5 Justice shall be the band around his waist,

and faithfulness a belt upon his hips.

6 Then the wolf shall be a guest of the lamb,

and the leopard shall lie down with the young goat;

The calf and the young lion shall browse together,

with a little child to guide them.

7 The cow and the bear shall graze,

together their young shall lie down;

the lion shall eat hay like the ox.

8The baby shall play by the viper’s den,

and the child lay his hand on the adder’s lair.

9 They shall not harm or destroy on all my holy mountain;

for the earth shall be filled with knowledge of the LORD, as water covers the sea.

Importance of Sacraments – Marriage and First Holy Communion

6 July 2011 @ 3:30pm; Message 0132

My dearly beloved daughter, watch now as the faith of My children begins to grow and blossom. While there is much darkness in the world the light of My followers becomes brighter by the day because of the Flame of the Holy Spirit, which has descended over the whole world.

Today, My daughter, I wish to remind all of My followers of the importance of prayer to ease suffering in the world. Your prayers are now helping to avert many global disasters foretold. Prayer is the most powerful mitigation and when said on behalf of others, they will be answered.

While I Am happy with those of strong faith; I Am still fearful for those who are adverse to My Divine Light, the Truth. Many people now wander around the world as if in a stupor. Nothing brings them peace. Nothing brings them joy. No amount of material comfort eases their pain. Their empty souls are lost. Please pray for them.

My daughter, please pray for My Vicar, Pope Benedict, for he is surrounded by masonic forces who are now making every effort to dethrone him, these evil forces have been infiltrating My Church since Vatican II and have diluted My Teachings. Many laws were passed which offend Me, especially the presentation of My Holy Eucharist by lay people. The lack of respect shown to Me and My Eternal Father, through new laws introduced to facilitate modern society has made Me cry with sadness.

The Most Holy Eucharist must be received on the tongue and not soiled by human hands. Yet  this is precisely what My sacred servants have done. These laws were not passed by Me in Spirit. My sacred servants have been led down a path not in line with the Teachings of My apostles. Today My Sacraments are not taken very seriously, especially those who seek the Sacraments of Matrimony and the First Holy Communion.

The Vow of Matrimony is very serious, for remember it is a Sacrament and is made in the Presence of God the Father, yet for many it all about materialism and the exterior trappings. Many who receive the Sacrament of Matrimony do not acknowledge its importance thereafter. Many break their vows so easily. Why do they do this? Why pay lip service to this most holy union only to part soon afterwards? This is a mockery of one of the most important unions blessed by the Hand of My Eternal Father. Many people do not pay any heed of My Father’s Will that no man shall pull asunder such a union thereafter, yet many people divorce, which is a law not recognized by My Father. Divorce is an easy way to run from your responsibilities. All marriages are made in Heaven. No man can destroy a marriage without offending My Father.

First Holy Communion
Receiving My Body in the Sacrament of the Eucharist for the first time is another example as to how I Am mocked. So many parents pay no heed to the importance of their children receiving the Bread of Life. They are more concerned as to how well-dressed their children are, rather than the wonderful Gift they are receiving. This Gift will lead them to salvation. Yet the materialism, which surrounds the event, has nothing to do with their souls. For Me the saddest part is that these little children are not being told about Me. The Love I have for little children is all-encompassing. When they receive the Holy Eucharist, in the full knowledge as to what they are receiving, then their souls become pure. The more they receive Me in this way, the stronger will their faith be.Remember, without the Sacraments, your faith becomes weak. After a time, if your soul is bereft of My special blessings, it becomes dormant. All faith in Me and My Eternal Father disappears in time with only a tiny flicker of recognition flaring up from time to time. Return to Me through the Sacraments. Show respect for the Sacraments in the way you are supposed to and you will truly feel My Presence again.

Remember, the Sacraments are there for a reason, for they are the nutrients you need for eternal life of the soul. Without them your soul will die.

I love you all. Please embrace Me properly, by respecting the Sacraments given to you as a Gift from God the Almighty Father.

Your loving Saviour
King of Mankind, Jesus Christ

The Wisdom and Hope we need (from Pope Benedict XVI)

AM+DG

We must always strive to have Faith, Hope and Charity. We have Christ as our Head – He leads us! We also have a true pope, Pope Benedict XVI who has not renounced the title of Vicar of Christ. Not many know and obey the true Roman Pontiff at this time!

Although the Chair of St Peter has an impostor on it, Pope Benedict still lives- and occasionally still speaks or writes. Occasionally his words reach us, outside his virtual prison of silence. He has left a legacy of writings over the years and even in more recent times, from which we can draw much information and wisdom. Sometimes he appears to give pointed messages such as, “The Lord wins in the end.”

Pope Benedict, in many speeches and encyclicals which share his wisdom, seeks to lead us. The article below holds much to encourage us. Look to him to be led, look to God and to the Saints. Remember, God knows what He is doing and we must trust in Him!

“Benedict XVI Warned Us Years Ago of Dangers Ahead

Several times during his pontificate, Pope Benedict XVI sounded the alarm about the direction society was taking, and told us what we must do in response.

Joseph Pronechen January 2, 2021

Like the seers and prophets of old, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI several times warned about the direction society was taking and where it was heading, and what we should do.

“In the Old and New Testaments, the Lord proclaims judgment on the unfaithful vineyard,” Benedict XVI said in his homily to bishops gathered together in October 2005.

“The threat of judgment also concerns us, the Church in Europe, Europe and the West in general. … The Lord is also crying out to our ears… ‘If you do not repent I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place.’ Light can also be taken away from us and we do well to let this warning ring out with its full seriousness in our hearts, while crying to the Lord: ‘Help us to repent! Give all of us the grace of true renewal! Do not allow your light in our midst to blow out! Strengthen our faith, our hope and our love, so that we can bear good fruit!’”

…

During his 2010 Christmas greetings he warned, “The Book of Revelation (18:13) includes among the great sins of Babylon — … — the fact that it trades with bodies and souls and treats them as commodities. …”

…

Benedict warned that this “fatal misunderstanding of freedom… actually undermines man’s freedom and ultimately destroys it.”

…

Benedict put a spotlight on the “power of terroristic ideologies. Violent acts are apparently made in the name of God, …  then the drugs “like a voracious beast clawing “all parts of the world ..;.Or even the way of living proclaimed by public opinion: today we must do things like this, marriage no longer counts, chastity is no longer a virtue, and so on.”

…

Earlier in 2010 Benedict also turned to the Book of Revelation. “Concerning this battle in which we find ourselves, of this taking power away from God, of this fall of false gods, that fall because they are not deities, but powers that can destroy the world, Chapter 12 of Revelations mentions these, …” He focused in on the river of water the dragon spews at the fleeing woman.

Benedict looked on the river as “the currents that dominate all and wish to make faith in the Church disappear, the Church that seems no longer to have a place in the face of the force of these currents that impose themselves as the only rationality, as the only way to live.”

On Pentecost 2012, in his homily Benedict reminded about Babel and its tower, “a kingdom in which men had concentrated so much power that they thought they no longer needed to rely on a distant God and that they were powerful enough to be able to build a way to heaven by themselves in order to open its gates and usurp God’s place.”

This biblical account holds “a perennial truth” we see in history and in our world. “The progress of science and technology have enabled us to dominate the forces of nature, to manipulate the elements and to reproduce living beings, almost to the point of manufacturing the very human being. In this situation praying to God seems obsolete or pointless, because we ourselves can construct and achieve whatever we like… Yet we do not realize that we are reliving the same experience as Babel….

Benedict (affirmed) that Sacred Scripture tells us unity can “only exist as a gift of God’s Spirit who will give us a new heart and a new language, a new ability to communicate. And this is what happened at Pentecost.”

In Caritas in Veritate he warned again, “A humanism which excludes God is an inhuman humanism. Only a humanism open to the Absolute can guide us in the promotion and building of forms of social and civic life.”

In 2010, during his Christmas greetings, Benedict echoed the prophets of old, saying, “Excita, Domine, potentiam tuam, et veni (Stir up, O Lord, your power and come).”

“Repeatedly during the season of Advent the Church’s liturgy prays in these or similar words. They are invocations that were probably formulated as the Roman Empire was in decline. … The sun was setting over an entire world. Frequent natural disasters further increased this sense of insecurity. There was no power in sight that could put a stop to this decline. All the more insistent, then, was the invocation of the power of God: the plea that he might come and protect his people from all these threats.”

…

… Benedict did not leave us without hope and without a way forward and out. For instance, he said in Light of the World, “The Church is always called upon to do what God asked of Abraham, which is to see to it that there are enough righteous men to repress evil and destruction.”

Hope and Action

When Benedict talked about Revelation 12 and the water spewed at the Woman and her Child, he emphasized something other than the possible harm. The Woman is not harmed because “the earth that absorbs these currents is the faith of the simple people, that does not allow itself to be overcome by these rivers and that saves the Mother and saves the Son.…”

…

Benedict added that Psalm 82 has a “final word” on a source of the problem and solution even after verse 5 laments that “the foundations of the earth are shaken. We see this today, with the climatic problems, how the foundations of the earth are shaken, how they are threatened by our behavior. The external foundations are shaken because the internal foundations are shaken, the moral and religious foundations, the faith that follows the right way of living. And we know that faith is the foundation, and, undoubtedly, the foundations of the earth cannot be shaken if they remain close to the faith, to true wisdom.”

But Benedict… asserted, “History, in fact, is not in the hands of the powers of darkness, chance or human decisions alone. When evil energy that we see is unleashed, when Satan vehemently bursts in, when a multitude of scourges and ills surface, the Lord, the supreme arbiter of historical events, arises. He leads history wisely towards the dawn of the new heavens and the new earth of which, in the image of the new Jerusalem, the last part of the Book of Revelation sings.”

And in the 2010 speech he directed us to hope and to a solution as he quoted Psalm 82:8: “Rise up, O God, judge the earth; for all the nations belong to you!”

Then he ended with this plea:

“Thus we say to the Lord:

‘Arise at this moment, take the world in your hands,

protect your Church,

protect humanity,

protect the earth.’

And we once again entrust ourselves to the Mother of God, Mary, and pray:

‘You, the great believer, you who have opened the earth to the heavens, help us, open the doors today as well, that truth may win, the will of God, which is the true good, the true salvation of the world.’ Amen.” ‘

Early in January, 2012, through The Book of Truth, we were given a prayer to pray for Pope Benedict; it was to keep him safe and enable him to lead us. Read the prayer below:

Crusade Prayer (23) for Pope Benedict’s safety

O My Eternal Father, on behalf of Your beloved Son, Jesus Christ, and the suffering He endured to save the world from sin, I pray now that You protect Your Holy Vicar, Pope Benedict, Head of Your Church on Earth, so that he too can help save Your children, and all Your sacred servants, from the scourge of Satan, and his dominion of fallen angels who walk the Earth, stealing souls.

O Father, protect Your Pope so that Your children can be guided on the True Path towards Your New Paradise on Earth.

Amen.

A link to the message that came with the prayer is here: https://missionofsalvation.com/message-0320/

The first line of this message especially gives us hope:

“My child, Satan’s power is getting weaker by the day, as the Holy Spirit continues to spread His wings over all of God’s children.”

+AMDG+

Msgr. Georg Ratzinger, R.I.P….

AM+DG

“Katholisch.de has reported that Msgr. Georg Ratzinger, the older brother of His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI has passed away, at the age of 96, just 2 days after the 69th anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood.”

Eternal Rest grant unto him O Lord,

Let perpetual Light shine upon him

May he rest in peace. Amen.

“For Msgr. Georg Ratzinger, … may the Angels escort him to the Kingdom of the Heavens”.

This news is so sad!

Even more so, because Pope Benedict managed to get to see him, but couldn’t stay to be by his side.

Everyone assumed – even the Bishop of Regensburg that he would stay as long as he could. There was no reason why he had to get back to Rome. He should be able to do as he wants. It is no coincidence that as soon as the papal nuncio in Germany heard about him being there, he came to “welcome” him. Right after that, it was announced that Pope Benedict would return in a couple of days.

That is so cruel! They were so close. The imposter pope was obviously very mad that he even got away without anyone knowing. Just proves, that Pope Benedict may be frail, but he still has his marbles.

This surely proves that he is a prisoner – the prophecies say so. But we must thank God that he even got to see his dearly beloved brother before he died. And the good thing is that we now have another advocate for Pope Benedict and the Church to intercede and pray for us left down here in this vale or tears!

See the post from Bro. Alexis Bugnolo FromRome at:

Msgr. Georg Ratzinger, R.I.P….

When he really does have to flee the Vatican, as foretold, let’s hope that he has the right people to manage it. There is no doubt that God’s will be done!

Keep praying for our beloved Pope. He has a heavy Cross to bear!

 

Pope Benedict -Prophecies and Theories.

AM+DG

 

There is lots to consider.  What is on everyone’s mind is the prophecy of Bl. Anne Catherine Emmerich regarding the pope leaving Rome and its consequences:

Bl. Anne Catherine Emmerich

October 1, 1820

“The Church is in great danger. We must pray so that the Pope may not leave Rome; countless evils would result if he did. They are now demanding something from him. The Protestant doctrine and that of the schismatic Greeks are to spread everywhere. I now see that in this place (Rome) the (Catholic) Church is being so cleverly undermined, that there hardly remain a hundred or so priests who have not been deceived. They all work for destruction, even the clergy. A great devastation is now near at hand.”

“In those days Faith will fall very low and it will be preserved in some places only.”

“The Little Black Man in Rome, whom I see so often, has many working for him without their clearly knowing for what end. He has his agents in the New Black Church also.If the Pope leaves Rome, the enemies of the Church will get the upper hand. I see the Little Black Man in his own country committing many thefts and falsifying things generally. Religion is there so skillfully undermined and stifled that there are scarcely 100 faithful priests. I cannot say how it is, but I see fog and darkness increasing … All must be rebuilt soon; for everyone, even ecclesiastics, are laboring to destroy (and) ruin is at hand. The 2 enemies of the Church who have lost their accomplice are firmly resolved to destroy the pious and learned men that stand in their way…”

N.b. The Jesuits wear black. The head of the Jesuits is referred to as the ”black pope”. Pope Francis is a Jesuit.

Also   Blessed Anna-Maria Taigi:   early 1800’S

“Religion shall be persecuted, and priests massacred. Churches shall be closed, but only for a short time. The Holy Father shall be obliged to leave Rome.”

and here is the prophecy of Pope Pius X:

where he states that the “forced to flee” pope-martyr (also described by Sister Lucia of Fatima as the pope in white who will be killed)   will have his name… Giuseppe = Joseph.  This could only be Joseph Ratzinger, Benedict XVI:

” In 1909, during an audience for the general chapter of the Franciscan Order, Pope Pius X suddenly fell into a trance. The audience waited in reverent silence. When he awoke, the Pope cried out:

“What I see is terrifying! Will it be myself? Will it be my successor? What is certain is that the Pope will quit Rome, and in leaving the Vatican he will have to walk over the dead bodies of his priests.  [This was precisely the vision sister Lucia received of the martyr pope dressed in white!] “Do not tell anyone this while I am alive.”

Just prior to his death (August 20, 1914), Pope Pius X had another vision:

“I have seen one of my successors, of the same name, who was fleeing over the bodies of his brethren. He will take refuge in some hiding place; but after a brief respite he will die a cruel death.

“Respect for God has disappeared from human hearts. They wish to efface even God’s memory. This perversity is nothing less than the beginning of the last days of the world.”  

and Pope Benedict himself  at His Inaugural Address (2013)

“Pray for me, that I may not flee for fear of the wolves”. 

and St Paul in Thessalonians 2: 6-8

6 And now you know what has been restraining him [from being revealed], that he may be revealed in his time. 7 For the mystery of iniquity already works,only he who now restrains does so, until he is taken out of the way. 8 And then that Wicked One  shall be revealed whom the Lord Jesus shall slay with the breath of His mouth…

“J.M.J. The third part of the secret revealed at the Cova da Iria-Fátima, on 13 July 1917. 

“… And we saw in an immense light that is God: ‘something similar to how people appear in a mirror when they pass in front of it’ a bishop dressed in white ‘we had the impression that it was the Holy Father.’ 

“Other bishops, priests, men and women religious going up a steep mountain, at the top of which there was a big cross of roughhewn trunks as of a cork tree with the bark; before reaching there the Holy Father passed through a big city half in ruins and half trembling with halting step, afflicted with pain and sorrow, he prayed for the souls of the corpses he met on his way; having reached the top of the mountain, on his knees at the foot of the big cross he was killed by a group of soldiers who fired bullets and arrows at him, and in the same way there died one after another the other bishops, priests, men and women religious, and various lay people of different ranks and positions. Beneath the two arms of the cross there were two angels each with a crystal aspersorium in his hand, in which they gathered up the blood of the martyrs and with it sprinkled the souls that were making their way to God.”

The events at this time do not seem to fit in with the whole prophecy as decriberd by Our lady at Fatima. There is a “bishop dressed in white” as well as “the Holy Father”. The latter was in a city in ruins (could this be Rome? or some other place ?)

These things are all foretold and must happen. But it does not seem to be the way we would expect. Only God knows.

Does Pope Benedict still have enough strength left to return to Rome and then again flee? ( it does not seem to be)

What about stumbling over the dead bodies of priests – is this figurative or in real time? ( Our Lady of Fatima and Pope Pius X)

Is the False Prophet glad that he is out of Rome, so the spiritual wall that is preventing evil will be demolished, so that the false Prophet can continue with what is planned? (St Paul and B. Anne Catherine Emmerich)

 The seminary in Germany does not seem like a “hiding place” ( Pope Pius X

What part does the letter play that Pope Benedict has written and which is to be read after his death?

The only thing for us, is to wait and see. Most of all, we must PRAY!!!

The Lost Prophecy of Father Joseph Ratzinger on the Future of the Church

The end result as foretold by  Fr. Joseph Ratzinger in 1969:

“…But when the trial of this sifting is past, a great power will flow from a more spiritualized and simplified Church. Men in a totally planned world will find themselves unspeakably lonely. If they have completely lost sight of God, they will feel the whole horror of their poverty. Then they will discover the little flock of believers as something wholly new. They will discover it as a hope that is meant for them, an answer for which they have always been searching in secret.

And so it seems certain to me that the Church is facing very hard times. The real crisis has scarcely begun. We will have to count on terrific upheavals. But I am equally certain about what will remain at the end: not the Church of the political cult, which is dead already, but the Church of faith. It may well no longer be the dominant social power to the extent that she was until recently; but it will enjoy a fresh blossoming and be seen as man’s home, where he will find life and hope beyond death.”
