St Francis of Assisi and the Book of Truth prophecies – the Battle for the Church

AM+DG

St Francis

I have always wondered why the prophecy of St Francis of Assisi has not been widely promoted in these times. Yes, Fatima, La Salette, Quito, Akita are all very relevant and very important. When nobody listens, God sends His Own Mother. Even Fr Gobbi’s (fairly recent )revelations from our  Blessed Mother to her ”Beloved sons”  are not even mentioned. As soon as PF/ F/P came to the throne, I immediately thought of St Francis’ prophecy not a true pastor, but a destroyer”.

His prophecies  hit the nail on the head! He states it all so clearly – but perhaps it is too close to the Truth. St Francis told us 

there will be very few Christians who will obey the true Sovereign Pontiff …”

and also

At the time of this tribulation a man, tribulation a man, not canonically elected, will be raised to the Pontificate, who, by his cunning, will endeavor to draw many into error and death.

and finally he said

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.

See his other prophecies here:  http://www.catholictradition.org/francis-prophecies.htm
(Taken from Works of the Seraphic Father St. Francis Of Assisi, Washbourne,
1882, pp. 248-250It)

For years now, there has been discussion about the validity of the election. It is only recently that discussion has  emerged about the current man sitting on Peter’s Chair as being the “False Prophet”of Revelation. I thought that even the fact that he dared to choose the name of St Francis was a mockery. (He was asked by God to “rebuild His Church).

St Francis’ prophecies tell us clearly about the FP’s election, and all facets of his destruction of the Church, his cunning, the errors, trampling the Truth and denying it, scandals, religious orders destroyed, schism, confusionThose who … adhere to virtue with love and zeal for the truth, will suffer injuries and, persecutions as rebels and schismatics; preachers keeping silent about the Truth.

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

Luckily our Lord and God is patient and merciful and keeps sending us  more prophets.  Jesus has given us the Book of Truth (as prophesied in Daniel), and the Jesus to mankind Mission to save us in these end times. As with the other prophecies, many of them have not been heeded.

In the Book of Truth prophecies, (from Jesus and His Blessed Mother, also God the Father and the Holy Spirit),   we were warned:

  • about a plot against Pope Benedict XVI
  • his “ousting’ from the Vatican
  • that the new man elected would be the “False Prophet
  • how this FP would take over the ministries of the Church
  • how he would persecute the “sacred servants” who tried to remain faithful
  • about his false humility and his demeanour
  • about how he would twist the Truth
  • about a global vaccination programme that would be inflicted upon us
  • that we should avoid it because it will kill
  • about paganism in the Church (multiple messages)
  • the destruction of the Sacraments

There are still may things that are still to come; global currency, food shortage, the Anti-christ, the Mark of the Beast, the Abomination of Desolation,…

He has messages for us and for all Christians. He wants to save all. He has special messages for His “sacred servants” and special prayers for them to say. He has instructed us about  food supplies and of water, as well as growing food.

++++++++++

I always find it difficult to choose a message  because there are 5 volumes and multiple messages for any particular theme. This is the extract of the message I chose for this post:

 

They will be accused of crimes against the Seat of Peter and will be publicly humiliated in My Holy Name

2 May 2013 @ 8:07pm; Message 0780

course-8501-the-devil-always-lies…) And so the schism will begin. Those who follow the false doctrine, where I, Jesus Christ, am not revered, will be torn to shreds by the beast and his demons. Those innocent servants of Mine, who have not accepted these Messages so far, will now come running to Me for comfort. My prophecies do not lie, and very soon many of these poor souls will be cast away from the Holy See. They will be accused of crimes against the Seat of Peter and will be publicly humiliated in My Holy Name.

I say this to them. Remain calm and be at peace, for when you follow the Truth you will be saved. You must never accept a watered-down doctrine, which will be empty of My Authority. To those who accept lies, in the belief that you are doing your duty, you must understand that you will have to face a difficult road. You have two choices. Remain in the Light of God, or turn your back on My Holy Sacraments.

Soon, many of you will see clearly what I have warned you about. The schism will be vicious and a war will ensue between Truth and lies. It will bring the Catholic Church down, until it resembles a heap of stones, but the One True Church will remain standing tall, as My faithful servants build up My Remnant Army. They will fight until the bitter end to uphold the Holy Word of God.

The Great Apostasy: Part 1- Scripture, Apparitions and Prophecies

AM+DG

 

“… When the First Commandment is broken by My Church on Earth – …the world will witness the worst chastisement since the flood. 

AM+DG

I remember Oct 4th, 2019 very well. It was the Feastday of St Francis of Assisi.

It was also the day there was a consecration ceremony for the Amazonian Synod.

This ceremony was held in the gardens of the Vatican – Sacred Space – where the False Prophet gathered with his cohort of bishops and cardinals as well as some visitors from the Amazon – including a Sharman shaking some rattles, dressed in war paint and feathers. In the middle was a “mandela’ – a pagan circle with 2 images of  the “pachamama” (Earth goddess). I was horrified. Even more horrified when the False Prophet blessed the images, and also accepted the black ring.

The horror movie didn’t end there. They all joined in prayers to this pagan idol. A Franciscan was shown with others bowing low to these idols. It didn’t end there. The idols were placed and carried on a “bier” which seemed to be in mockery of when we carry the Blessed Sacrament in Eucharistic procession – and they carried it into a church. Afterwards, they left the images there to be prayed to and worshipped by the people. How can anyone think that this person organizing all this,  the one who “sits in the Chair of Peter” can ever be a true Pope? They are heretical actions of the highest order. This Pachamama event seemed to be the precursor of the current cv state of the world. You can’t but help connect this to the vision of Pope St Leo XIII!

I believe, it was a blessing sent by God, to give us a little reprieve from this horror, when a very courageous man  (Alexander Tschueggel) and his camera-man grabbed all these idols from the church and threw them into the river Tiber.

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

Later that month, followers of the  Jesus to Mankind messages and prayer groups, were instructed to pray a “Daily Prayer Campaign” for 6 weeks. The reason was to mitigate effects of Cv .. and what is to come after. We wondered what it was, that would come after. Jesus’ intentions for the prayer campaign were:

  • to mitigate the effects of the Covid 19 Pandemic and all that will follow it.
  • For the Salvation of Souls

For a period of five weeks, beginning Tues. November 10, we were requested to pray for these two specific intentions every 3pm, local time.

The prayers we were to  pray at the minimum were:

  • the 3 O’Clock Prayer,
  • the Divine Mercy Chaplet,
  • as well as the Daily Core Prayers. (these were about 20 in number)

Now we know what “effects” Jesus was referring to – the lock-downs and the loss of freedom to speak, to meet, to worship in our churches; and it seems now the worst is the current situation where our medical status in mandated , where many have suffered horrific adverse events, and where people have lost their jobs and income, because they are following their Christian conscience. There is also the fact that many have only condescended to this mandate because of coercion and trying to feed their families.

It all makes sense. We were told in many messages (detailed in other posts) where Jesus told us to avoid these vc’s as they would spread disease and even kill us. He told us that it would be the worst genocide in history.

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

It is now all too obvious. But, getting back to the Pachamama story: Jesus gave us an amazing prophecy of what would happen once, we break the First Commandment.

 

“… When the First Commandment is broken by My Church on Earth – the final bastion of My Father over His children – the world will witness the worst chastisement since the flood. 

Once paganism grips My Church, this will mark the final chapter….”

When God’s children love themselves and preen before Him, He weeps bitter Tears. But, when He is replaced in the hearts of all by paganism and a false god, His Wrath will be unprecedented. …”

See the complete message at: 24 May 2014 @ 9:20pm; Message 1133

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

God is our loving Father and wants all to be saved. He warns us through prophecies and protects His children as He has always done; but this love also  entails  Justice – and His anger and wrath which is unprecedented.

We have to show and prove our Love and remain faithful to Our Lord and Saviour and to our Loving Father in Heaven. He will guide us. The reward is immense – His New Kingdom of Heaven and Earth, (See Revelation). We also knows who will win this Battle for Souls and what happens to those who have deceived God’s children.

 

The Christmas Star.

AM+DG

This year 2020 of Our Lord, has been toted as the year of the Christmas Star reappearing. This is because a very unusual conjunction will occur:- where the two planets of Jupiter and Saturn cross paths in order to create, what appears to be one great star.

Most great conjunctions are not particularly notable. But occasionally, like this year, Jupiter and Saturn cross paths so close to each other that they can be barely distinguishable to the naked eye. Or sometimes the two planets cross paths when they are opposite the sun, so their apparent retrograde motion results in a triple conjunction, as was the case in 7 BCE.

Reference: https://theconversation.com/the-christmas-star-appears-again-jupiter-and-saturn-align-in-the-great-conjunction-on-dec-21-2020-152370

There are over 26 verses about the Star of Bethlehem referred to in the Bible, which point to the coming of Jesus, the Messiah. Read them here:

https://www.openbible.info/topics/star_of_bethlehem

The thought of the Christmas Star prompts the attention to the Second Coming Of Christ.

The timing of the appearance of this ‘star’ seems significant and brings with it, a message.
The last time (before this year) that this astronomical marvel appeared is believed to be 1226 AD.
This was also the year of the great end-time prophecy of St. Francis, given just before he died. If the astronomers are correct, he gave his prophecy in the same year that the Star last appeared. That prophecy connects to now, which is many ways has been an unprecedented year.
You can read the holy Saint Francis’ significant and ‘relevant to now’, prophecy here:
St, Francis of Assisi sees the time of the end, directly before Christ’s Second Coming, even as he teaches others to tenderly love Christ’s First Coming.

St Francis adoring the Christ Child

In the Book of Truth, Jesus prepares us for His Second Coming which He says will be witnessed by this generation; and sooner than we think. This is not to be thought of with consternation but with great joy;- for those who love Him above all things and trust in Him, look forward to, await with alertness and prepare for, especially in our souls. In this, we must give ourselves to pray for others, even those we don’t know, with equal ardour, patience, trust and love; yes, even our enemies.
We leave you with this beautiful message from Jesus at Christmas, Who reminds us of the great significance and meaning of His Birth:

I shower you with this Special Blessing today

December 22, 2012 @ 8:36pm

My dearly beloved daughter, Christmas Day is My Gift to humanity. It is because of this day that eternal life became possible for mortal man.

I, Jesus Christ, Saviour of the World, welcome you all, God’s children, into the Kingdom promised to Me by My Father.

I came into the world unknown by but a few. My Birth changed the future. My Promise was accepted by My followers. They knew that I would come again but had no idea when. They listened to My Teachings, although many of them were not learned men. They were poor and lived simple lives. Yet, they were the ones who welcomed Me.

The same will be true now when I prepare you for My Second Coming. It will be those souls with a simple love for Me who will open their hearts to My Call. And it will be those amongst you, humble of heart and pure of soul, who become My disciples of today. It will be through you, just as it was when I walked the earth, that My Word will be heard and believed.

I shower you with this Special Blessing today. I desire that you accept My Blessing of Protection through this, Crusade Prayer to welcome Me, the Messiah, as I will unveil My New Kingdom.

Crusade Prayer (90) Thanksgiving for Your Most Glorious Second Coming

O My Jesus, I offer You praise and thanksgiving for Your Most Glorious Second Coming.
You, my Saviour, were born to give me Eternal Life and to free me from sin.
I offer You my love, my thanks and my adoration as I prepare my soul for Your Great Coming. Amen.

Go now and prepare. For the times are short and much is needed to be done in order to salvage every soul. I bring you Peace, Love and Joy on this special day.

Your Jesus

Do not forget Him this Christmas. Re-introduce Him in to as many hearts as possible and welcome Him in your own. Open your heart to Him fully and do not be afraid to listen to Him. Gaze upon and marvel in the Glories of God.

Wishing you all a blessed and holy Christmas, filled with the Peace that only Jesus can bring. +++

Pope Benedict, St Bonaventure on “the Seal of the LIving God”.

AM+DG

The Book of Truth, St Francis of Assisi, St Bonaventure and Joseph Ratzinger and Era of peace

“…St Bonaventure, the seventh leader of the Franciscan Order, after having a mystical experience on Mount La Verna (the site of St Francis’ stigmatisation)…”

As Joseph Ratzinger reminds us in “The Theology of History in St Bonaventure”, the Stigmata of St Francis reveals him as the angel in the Book of Revelation who ascends ‘from the rising of the sun’ and carries ‘the seal of the living God’ and has power to seal the ‘servants of God in their foreheads’ (Revelation 7:2).

St Bonaventure and Ratzinger both contend that St Francis will in the future bring about a new Order of Franciscans who will emulate the original perfection that Francis manifested and will usher in an era of Peace in the world, in preparation for the final coming of Christ.

From: https://jesusrisen.me/category/st-francis-of-assisi/

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

For me, (except for the Book of Truth) the key prophecy foretelling the state of the papacy today, has always been that of St. Francis of Assisi. To teach people the Truth, you have to start with something that people will be able to accept. Who would question St Francis?

“  2. The devils will have unusual power, the immaculate purity of our Order, and of others, will be so much obscured that 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.
“3. 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.
“4. 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.”

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

The previous quote (from “Jesus risen”) above tells us much more – indeed of a connection between St Francis, St Bonaventure and Pope Benedict – specifically – about the “Seal of the Living God”, the  “era of peace” and the “final coming of Christ”.

This, indeed, is Good News. Because, when people are afraid to read the Book of Truth, we have other sources to quote, to lead them towards the Truth.

The Book of Revelation tells us about the “Seal on the foreheads” and how this Seal was carried by an angel, before people were sealed with it on their foreheads. Therefore, this “Seal of the Living God” is both an object, as well as a mark (an indelible, spiritual mark that sets us aside as belonging to God).

 Revelation7: 2-4

“…Then I saw another angel come up from the East, holding the seal of the living God. He cried out in a loud voice to the four angels who were given power to damage the land and the sea,

3“Do not damage the land or the sea or the trees until we put the seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God.

4 I heard the number of those who had been marked with the seal, one hundred and forty-four thousand marked from every tribe of the Israelites: …”

Rev 14:1

“[1] And I beheld, and lo a lamb stood upon mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty-four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their forehead.”

This concept is not surprising . Kings have always had seals to mark their Kingship and their property. In the days of old, a king‘s seal (on a letter, for example) would give protection to those who bore it.

Therefore it is to be noted, that Pope Benedict (Ratzinger), in quoting St Bonaventure, recognizes the significance of this Seal.

In this unbelieving and deceptive world, however, the fact that we have a “Seal of the Living God” mentioned in the Book of Truth, is held as being wrong, or even heretical, when we print it and put it in our homes for protection, or wear it as a scapular. Most priests dismiss it as soon as they know that it comes from the Book of Truth. They say it is simply a “spiritual mark”. However, Scripture itself refutes this.

 

 

 

It is so reassuring, therefore, in knowing that there is a saint, and our dearly beloved Pope Benedict, that holds this to be true. There have been many testimonies, as to the power of this “Seal”. By possessing it, and praying the prayer that goes with it, we are marked spiritually with an indelible mark that sets us aside.

Book of Truth On “the Seal” (extracts from messages)

“My promise is this, children. I will protect all of My children who have the seal of My love embedded in their souls. You will be spared the persecution so that you remain strong to pray with all your might for these wicked people. (God of The Most High, February 14, 2012)

I desire to take all of you, loving children, who know and understand My Love for you, into My beautiful New Paradise on earth. I promise you, that the persecution will be swift, and that you will be protected. For I now bequeath the Seal of My Love and Protection. With this, you will escape the notice of those who will cause hardship in your countries. My Seal is My promise of Salvation. My Power will surge through you, with this Seal, and no harm will come to you. This is a miracle, children, and only those who bow before Me, their Lord and Creator of all things, as little children with love in their hearts for Me, can be blessed with this Divine Gift. (God of The Most High, February 20, 2012)

My daughter the time has come for the first of the seals to be broken and how this saddens Me. I have promised that before this happens I will offer My Seal of Protection on the foreheads of all those who believe in Me. Now I give you, children, a last chance to stand up and decide. You are either for Me or against Me. The choice is yours. If you accept My Seal of Love you will be within My protection at all times. This protection will cover your families. This is My final call to offer you My Seal of Love. To those who know Me, and accept My Seal, know that you will have eternal life. (God of The Most High, February 21, 2012)

New readers might like to know also that the Book of Truth is fulfilment of Scripture:

Daniel 10:21
Bible: USCCB – U .S. Conference of Catholic Bishops
“ but I shall tell you what is written in the book of truth. No one supports me against these except Michael, your prince,”

In this final battle of Good against Evil, God would not forsake His people.

The Seal of the Living God described in the Book of Revelation  and the Book of Truth is the fulfilment of that promise!!!

Thoughts for the 7th Day of Christmas: St Francis’ devotion to Baby Jesus

AM+DG

St. Francis of Assisi had a special devotion to the Child Jesus, and he is credited with creating the first nativity scene on Christmas Eve of the year 1223.

THE FIRST NATIVITY SCENE

St. Francis recreated the scene of Christ’s birth in a special ritual and Mass he held inside of a cave in Greccio, Italy, inviting both his fellow friars and the townspeople to join in the celebration.

Later he told a friend why he desired to create the first nativity scene in his town:

“I want to do something that will recall the memory of that Child who was born in Bethlehem, to see with bodily eyes the inconveniences of his infancy, how he lay in the manger, and how the ox and ass stood by.”

He set up an empty manger (the feeding trough of farm animals which served as Jesus’ crib) inside a cave, and even included a live ox and donkey beside the manger just as it was believed to have happened on that first Christmas night. Through these visual aids he wanted everyone to impress more deeply into their understanding how Christ came into the world in such poverty and simplicity. 

It is also said that St. Francis—who was radically devoted to the virtue of evangelical poverty—was inspired to recreate the original nativity scene to overcome the rampant greed and materialism prevalent at that time in Italy.

St. BONAVENTURE TELLS THE STORY

St. Bonaventure (1221 – 1274), a follower and contemporary of St. Francis, has given us a complete account of the night of the first live nativity scene:

“It happened in the third year before his death, that in order to excite the inhabitants of Grecio to commemorate the nativity of the Infant Jesus with great devotion, [St. Francis] determined to keep it with all possible solemnity; and lest he should be accused of lightness or novelty, he asked and obtained the permission of the sovereign Pontiff. Then he prepared a manger, and brought hay, and an ox and an ass to the place appointed.

The brethren were summoned, the people ran together, the forest resounded with their voices, and that venerable night was made glorious by many and brilliant lights and sonorous psalms of praise.”

St. Bonaventure goes on to talk about St. Francis of Assisi’s personal devotion to the Baby Jesus that sparked this event:

“The man of God [St. Francis] stood before the manger, full of devotion and piety, bathed in tears and radiant with joy; the Holy Gospel was chanted by Francis, the Levite of Christ. Then he preached to the people around the nativity of the poor King; and being unable to utter His name for the tenderness of His love, He called Him the Babe of Bethlehem.”

Acknowledging the true pope is the first step towards not being deceived

AM+DG

 


Pope Benedict XVI

Gradually we have come to know some of the details of Pope Benedict’s supposed ‘resignation’. But Jesus warned us (in the Book of Truth) many times through many messages between 2010 and 2012, well before it came to pass, that an imposter would soon take over the throne of St. Peter. He told us that the False Prophet would stand in his place. We were expecting it. But not even we were expecting that the prophecy given on February 11th, 2012 would become apparent on the exact same date a year later, almost to the hour.

Read it here:

https://missionofsalvation.com/message-0336/

We were also told (in several messages) exactly what his supposed successor -who is not just a false pope and deceptive usurper, but the False Prophet of Revelations- would be like. An extract of the message from March 11th, 2011, is below:

All Christians Repent Now, Catholics Pray for Pope Benedict…

…My beloved daughter, I want you to continue to move quickly to spread the Word regarding these Messages. I have explained to you before that they must be given to as many people as possible in the shortest possible time. As this event looms, so too will an event regarding the Holy Vatican.Ask everyone to pray for My beloved Holy Vicar Pope Benedict, for he is surrounded by the enemies of My Eternal Father. Pray for the priests who have never wavered in their faith to Me or My Eternal Father.

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.

Pray, pray, pray. For you, My children, need to be on your guard. You need Me to guide you now as these prophecies are revealed to mankind. Be strong, loyal to My Teachings. Pray in groups. Pray the Holy Rosary to seek protection from the evil one.

Remember one lesson. My Teachings never change. They are the same as they have always been. As I said before, it is when you find that they are tampered with, toned down, or as will be the case, distorted in a way that seems strange, or at odds with My Teachings, turn away and pray to Me for guidance.

Your Divine Saviour
Jesus Christ”

Is it any wonder that the messenger was hated and castigated? Is it any wonder these messages were rejected with great force?

Gradually, after the ‘supposed resignation’ of Pope Benedict and the election of a supposedly new ‘pope’ (Jorge Bergoglio; who refers to himself as Pope Francis),  various theories began to be raised about the invalidity of the conclave.

From memory they included: the illegal meetings of the St. Gallen group, the grammar mistake in the resignation itself, the fact that there were too many elections on the day of the election (but I have read that this doesn’t matter) etc.

Since then, so much more has been discovered : that there was actually vote harvesting beforehand so that they had already arranged a guaranteed 25 votes before the election; the deliberate, definitive wording of the resignation regarding the munos and ministerium; the fact that Card Sodano was meant to do an enquiry into the resignation first etc.

 St. Francis of Assisi warned us of “an uncanonically elected pope”, who was not a “true pastor but a destroyer”. The arguments continue but few want to take up the battle. None can understand. The fact is that it is all in the Book of Revelation, and this all has to come to pass. People just don’t want to face the fact: that this is it!

We all struggle, first of all, with convincing our uninformed friends and those “with blinkers on” of what is happening. We don’t want them to be deceived but it is difficult to get the whole message across, or to get them to accept the truth.

The easiest first step is often to inform them of all the Catholic prophecies through the ages from Our Lady and the Saints: St Francis, Our Lady of Good success, La Salette, St Leo XIII, Pius X, Fatima, St Faustina, Garabandal, Akita. This is the easy part – most Catholics will accept these. ( See our menu – “Tools for Evangelisation”  to download a booklet to hand out.)

What is important for people to see is that Pope Benedict XVI is still the pope, regardless of whether Bergoglio is still there as the “great pretender“. Getting rid of him won’t happen in the way we think- prophecies foretold will be fulfilled. This does not reduce our obligations however, – it increases them due to the nature of the battle. In the Book of Revelations, both the False prophet and the Antichrist are thrown into the lake of fire.

As for Pope Benedict XVI and his resignation, a very thorough article has been posted on Bishop Gracida’s blog by David Martin, which is very helpful in explaining all the  facts and where Canon Law stands.

The parts we are concerned with – that Pope Benedict is the pope- are reproduced below:


A Closer Look at Benedict’s Resignation                       and the Ensuing Papal Crisis

 By David Martin

“With the controversial buzz that surrounded the election of Pope Francis upon the resignation of  Pope Benedict XVI, it seems that we may have lost sight of a key element in this episode,  namely, that Benedict never fully resigned the papal ministry but only the active exercise thereof.

On the eve of his resignation, he said:

“Anyone who accepts the Petrine ministry no longer has any privacy. He belongs always and completely to everyone, to the whole Church… The‘always’ is also a ‘forever’ – there can no longer be a return to the private sphere. My decision to resign the active exercise of the ministry does not revoke this.” (General Audience, February 27, 2013)

From these words it appears that there has been no revocation of Benedict XVI’s office. According to Church law, a pope must give up his office for his resignation to be valid. (Canon 332) The text indicates that Benedict XVI chose to retain his office “forever,” which is why he continues to wear the papal garb and to go by the name Benedict XVI.

No Shared Papacy 

Naturally, there is no such thing as a “shared papacy.” Christ said to Simon, “Thou art Peter.” He didn’t say to Simon and John, “Thou art Peters.” And while the papacy indeed has various facets, i.e. contemplative, theological, active, etc., it is all one ministry. 1 The idea that two dimensions of the Petrine office can be cubbyholed into separate departments (active and prayerful), each with its own capacity and each occupied by a separate Petrine representative, is heresy. Gänswein no doubt realizes this, but his explanation to the press was apparently the best he could do to cover for a very embarrassing situation that caused his mentor to be dethroned.    

Rules and Regulations Violated

Clearly, there was intense politics and vote canvassing at work around the time of the conclave, which directly violated Pope John Paul II’s Apostolic Constitution Universi Dominici Gregis, governing papal elections. Therein he makes it clear that vote canvassing among cardinal electors is strictly forbidden, and that it incurs automatic excommunication. Consider the following from his Constitution:

“The Cardinal electors shall further abstain from any form of pact, agreement, promise or other commitment of any kind which could oblige them to give or deny their vote to a person or persons. If this were in fact done, even under oath, I decree that such a commitment shall be null and void and that no one shall be bound to observe it; and I hereby impose the penalty of excommunication latae sententiae upon those who violate this prohibition.” (81)

This prohibition applies not only to the election itself but to that time just before the election when preparations are underway, since it is during this time that illicit political activity would exert its greatest influence on the vote. “Any form of pact” obliging electors “to give or deny their vote to a person” would be secured before the election.

The pope also says in his Constitution:

“Confirming the prescriptions of my Predecessors, I likewise forbid anyone, even if he is a Cardinal, during the Pope’s lifetime and without having consulted him, to make plans concerning the election of his successor, or to promise votes, or to make decisions in this regard in private gatherings.” (79)

A clique of cardinals did “make plans” to force Benedict XVI’s resignationand to campaign for “the election of his successor, with up to 25 cardinals “promising votes” the day before the election, this having come about through “private gatherings,” thus revealing the illicit conduct of those cardinal electors to be.

Under the pain of excommunication latae sententiae, Pope John Paul forbids “each and every Cardinal elector, present and future, as also the Secretary of the College of Cardinals and all other persons taking part in the preparation and carrying out of everything necessary for the election” to allow “all possible forms of interference, opposition and suggestion whereby secular authorities of whatever order and degree, or any individual or group, might attempt to exercise influence on the election of the Pope.” (80)

Unfortunately, secular and political interference played a key part in the election of Pope Francis.  According to John Paul II, such interference renders the papal election null and void.

Should the election take place in a way other than that prescribed in the present Constitution, or should the conditions laid down here not be observed,the election is for this very reason 2 null and void, without any need for a declaration on the matter; consequently, it confers no right on the one elected. (76)

A Pope “Not Canonically Elected”

Bearing this in mind, we turn now to the prophecy of St. Francis of Assisi concerning a future pope. This is found in the Opuscula or Works of St. Francis, which was published by the preeminent Franciscan historian Fr. Luke Wadding in 1621. 

Shortly before his death in 1226, St. Francis of Assisi called together the friars of his Order and detailed this prophecy of what was to come upon the Church in the latter days. The following is an excerpt taken from Works of the Seraphic Father St. Francis of Assisi, R. Washbourne, 1882, pp. 248-250, with imprimatur by His Excellency William Bernard, Bishop of Birmingham.

“At the time of this tribulation, a man, not canonically elected, will be raised to the Pontificate, who, by his cunning, will endeavor to draw many into error…. 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. “

Evidence of a pope “not canonically elected” would be his success in drawing “many into error,” something that has been ongoing since Francis’ election.For instance, on February 4, 2019, he signed a joint statement with the head of Egypt’s al-Azhar Mosque, which states that “diversity of religions” is “willed by God.”This blatantly contravenes the Church’s dogma that there is no salvation outside the Catholic Church, yet this “religious diversity” heresy is now preached everywhere from the pulpit, courtesy of Francis.

There is also the issue of Francis’ ongoing collusion with U.N. globalists. On October 28, the Pontifical Academy of Sciences partnered with U.N. pro-abortion advocates to pledge fidelity to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) championed by socialist rebels like George Soros and Jeffrey Sachs. The pope has also honored abortionists Emma Bonino and Lilliane Ploumen for their work.

And let us not forget that Francis engaged in idol worship in St. Peter’s Basilica during the recent Amazonian Synod. The pope and several cardinals were filmed chanting, dancing, and praying before the Pachamama idol as part of the synodal effort to make “reparation” to “Mother Earth” for the “sins” committed against her. Vatican rep denies claims that alleged ‘pagan’ statue is the Virgin Mary

Sr. Lucy’s Vision

Hence Pope Benedict XVI, in an emotional farewell speech at St. Peter’s on February 25, 2013, told a crowd of 100,000 that God had called him to  step down and devote himself to prayer, and to scale the mountain.’https://ynaija.com/god-told-me-to-climb-the-mountain-pope-gives-farewell-speech/

This would suggest that Benedict XVI is “the Holy Father” who scales the mountain in Sr. Lucy’s vision. If you’ll recall, it was in conjunction with the Third Secret of Fatima that Sr. Lucy of Fatima received this symbolic vision,which she penned on January 3, 1944. The following is an excerpt that was published by the Vatican on June 26, 2000.

“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 rough-hewn 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.” 

In her vision, Lucy sees two popes as it were. The first is a mirrored image of what appears to be the pope, but is actually “a bishop dressed in white” who gives the “impression” he is the popeThe true pope [BXVI] and his followers scale the mountain amidst peril and danger, praying for the spiritually dead along the way, before which they pass through a city half in ruins, which represents the Church in shambles. At the end of their journey they are martyred for their allegiance to Jesus Crucified.It is a symbolic picture of the Church being put to death. 

We should note that a reflection in the mirror is not a reality, but only an appearance – an impression. Lucy makes the point that this impression is “a bishop dressed in white.” It doesn’t appear that the bishop dressed in white is Benedict XVI or any previous pope, but Pope Francis.

The interpretation of the vision of Sr. Lucia is subjective. The interpretation  presented (above) by David Martin view is very convincing, but we won’t really know the complete Truth until it happens.. What is important is that Pope Benedict XVI is the one in the prophecy scaling the mountain, as he says in his farewell speech, that God had called him to ‘devote himself to prayer’ and to ‘climb the mountain.’ (see link to this speech in David Martin’s article above.)

Feast Day of St Francis – A blatant mockery!

AM+DG

I think we are all still reeling from the events of October 4th. As you can see it was supposed to be a consecration of the Pan-Amazonian synod to St Francis.  A pagan ceremony!!! But then we knew that – it was all obvious in the Instrumentem Laboris.

It was the Feast day of St Francis of Assisi – a favourite saint of many people. The day was organized to celebrate his feastday.

To begin with, the man who sits on the Chair of Peter, when “elected’ chose his name. No pope had ever done this before. It was a first! Considering what has transpired since this eventful day in 2013, we can say that it was an evil and cunning ploy to misdirect us from the very beginning of his papacy.

Some of us knew from the beginning. It was prophesied in the Book of Truth, so we were not surprised. Some of the prophecies included (and there are many more..):

My beloved Pope Benedict XVI is the last true pope on this Earth. – April 12th, 2012

They plan to replace the Holy Vicar, Pope Benedict XVI, with a dictator of lies. He will create a new church in league with the antichrist and his group, in order to deceive the world. – January 18th, 2012

One half will believe, out of duty, the need to follow the false prophet, the pope who will follow Pope Benedict XVI. – April 10th, 2012

They, My daughter, are being sent to prepare God’s children to accept the next pope, who comes after My beloved Vicar, Pope Benedict. 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. Sadly, he will, this false prophet, attract a large following. Those who oppose him will be persecuted. – April 12th, 2012

Other faithful, however, took a long time to realize the truth of the matter, and tried to make excuses for him. They did not know of St Francis’ prophecy, and many still don’t know, and despite all that has happened, refuse to accept it.

Before his death in 1226, St. Francis of Assisi called together the friars of his Order and detailed this prophecy of what was to come in the latter days concerning a future pope. The following is taken from Works of the Seraphic Father St. Francis of Assisi, R. Washbourne Publishing House, 1882, pp. 248-250, with imprimatur by His Excellency William Bernard, Bishop of Birmingham.((Except for breaking up the narrative into numbered paragraphs and adding bold print for emphasis, the prophecy is presented without any alteration.)

“2. The devils will have unusual power, the immaculate purity of our Order, and of others, will be so much obscured that 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.

“3. 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.

“4. 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.”

So, this man is an anti-pope.  The Book of Revelation  (as does the Book of Truth) calls him the False Prophet. He deliberately chose this name to mock our much loved saint. St Francis was told by Our Lord to “rebuild the church”. The False Prophet (FP) has deliberately used this for his own ends, and we do, indeed see him trying to do this, but actually he is building a new church – of his own making, that eliminates Jesus and His teachings. We can readily see that many of St Francis’ prophecies have been realized.

St Francis loved Creation and all of God’s creatures. This is what we love about him. The famous hymn we love to sing “All Creatures of our God and King” tells us how all of Creation praises God.  Sadly the Fp uses St Francis and his love of creation in order to idolize creation, not the God who created it. The FP has turned this aspect upside-down as well. The Fp and other bishops were there, a woman Shaman presented 2 naked pregnant statues to the Fp, who blessed them; ”spirits”were invoked and people bowed down in adoration. They were gathered around a ”mandala” (pagan circle) and one of these people bowing down was a Franciscan.

It was even mentioned that the 2 statues could represent Mary and Elizabeth!!! I can’t comment anymore. It speaks for itself.

It was nothing but a pagan ceremony!! It was nothing but a blasphemous mockery.  St Francis would be recoiling in horror to think that this pagan ceremony would be used as a consecration to him.

The events of October 4th were  meant to celebrate the Feast of St Francis of Assisi. The event was organized by the Pan-Amazonian Ecclesial Network, the Order of Franciscan Friars Minor, and the left-wing Global Catholic Climate Movement.

This is not the first time such blasphemy and mockery was used. In May, 2015 he released an encyclical about it, entitled “Laudate Si “ which focussed on humanism and environmentalism. This encyclical has very little to say about God. In fact, he mentioned that there were sins “against creation” (??). Sure we are stewards of creation, but we sin against the Creator. A sure sign that the FP has no Faith.

In fact this encyclical was celebrated on the Feast of Immaculate Conception on Dec 8th by showing a video- all about the environment and which also included pagan gods and godesses. Notice this too, was on a Feast day. This time the mockery was our Blessed Mother and the Vatican building onto which it was projected – a Sacred Space.

The Vatican News statement blatantly mentioned the “Parchamama” idols which were used.

I am sure that St Francis and the rest of Heaven is in mourning.

Beware of God’s anger! He will not be mocked!

We have to pray, pray, pray. It is only going to get much worse.

Why talk of schism?  So cunning, so deceptive…so …

AM+DG

Beware.

I was shocked when I heard it but I knew I shouldn’t have been. He knows what’s coming; what’s inevitable – people are waking up to him. He had to get his foot in first.

My initial thoughts were: What is he talking about? He is the one who is schismatic. Schism means to break away from Christ’s Church which holds all His Teachings. We (those faithful to Christ’s teachings ) are sticking to the Truth handed down by Christ and the apostles. They are creating the schism – in fact the false prophet (or anti -pope, imposter,) and his Freemason friends  are the ones who are slowly, brick by brick, dismantling the church – the structure and the doctrines/teachings – all that makes us Catholic. They are slowly building their own new church. But we, on the other hand are sticking to the original true Church – to Christ’s teachings. They are the schismatics.But you know, it is a very clever tactic. It is called  tu quoque.  

This means to  charge your accuser with whatever it is you’ve just been accused of rather than refuting the truth of the accusation made against you. In fact, FP/PF is a devious political opponent who commits many logical fallacies and straw man arguments.

It will come to the point where the faithful will have to choose to follow Christ’s teachings, not those of the Usurper’s church. This is already happening now but who knows what is in store for us after this next synod? When people speak with their feet and return to the safety of traditional priests, he will be able to say: ‘See? I told you so. They are leaving the Catholic faith.’ Many of  these poor souls will then be so confused. They don’t really know the correct teachings of the church anymore. They will want to STAY,  thinking they must remain loyal, but not realizing that to be Catholic they have to stay loyal to Christ’s teachings . If the pope isn’t true to Christ’s teachings, then he isn’t Catholic!

He reels them in with his twisted and forked tongue: “I pray that there be no schism” but “I am not afraid”. He said “I pray that there will be none, because what is at stake is people’s spiritual health”. He adds truth to lies. He is the one ruining the people’s spiritual health. 

And I think he is afraid. The more souls he loses to the Truth, the fewer that will be led in to the One World Religion and the fewer that will worship the Anti-Christ. He does not want people to see through this great deception.

He said: “Let there be dialogue, let there be correction if there is an error, but the schismatic path is not Christian,” he said. His critics were putting ideology over Catholic doctrine and deserved sympathy, not hostility.”

It is all upside down and back to front. There has been pointed out to him many errors by some very highly regarded and lettered bishops ( eg Dubia ) but he refuses to answer any of them, let alone correct them. He doesn’t accept correction and frequently ignores it!

“..ideology over Catholic Doctrine..” He means his critics (the conservative, traditionalist faithful Catholics who are loyal to the Truth) are ideologists and not Catholic. He is implying that he is being true to Catholic doctrine, when in actual fact, he is the one destroying it. It is again, upside down and back to front. And ideology and doctrine are not opposed to one another. And traditional Catholics always hold doctrine as vitally important in forming ideology. Whereas, PF tramples doctrine and destroys it, in order to espouse his own false ideologies.

He is very clever at deflecting anything negative. For example, “The social things that I say are the same things that John Paul II said, the same things. I copy him. But they say, ‘the Pope is a communist.’” We know how he twisted Pope John Paul II’s words by omitting parts of it and making it suit his own agenda in ‘Amoris Laetitia’. In his case, he actually is a communist  and focuses on humanism and other Marxist ideas.

The sad part is that people will fall for it!! Even if they don’t recognize how he is destroying Catholic doctrine and usurping God’s Commandments – why aren’t they horrified at his lack of charity when speaking of those who pose a threat to him and at his very coarse language at times??  St Francis of Assisi in his prophecy of the two popes called him ‘not a true pastor, but a destroyer”

We all know who fits this description of one who turns everything upside down and inside out, who deceives: it is the King of lies. This so-called pope’s actions are of a diabolical nature.

All this talk of schism. Where did this come from? It’s not all just getting his foot in first. Why mention it now? It’s not as if anyone is currently a real threat to him. There is too much fear amongst the clergy for anyone to move on anything, although there is plenty of evidence.

No, this is because of what he is about to launch!

Bergoglio: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow!

AM+DG

Our last series of articles focussed on the taking down, brick by brick, the structure of the Catholic church.

The world in general, knew nothing about Bergoglio, although his election was not a surprise to the puppeteers. After all, they had been meeting in St Gallen for years trying to get rid of Pope Benedict. Bergoglio was chosen and his fan club worked to get the results they wanted.

When he was elected, the Masonic newspaper in Rome’s headline was:  “at last we have our man”. Well what does that tell you? We know what Jesus told us in the Book of Truth so it was no surprise to us – but the Catholic world in general did not know what was coming.!!!

One lone journalist did! But very few took any notice. Looking back now, it all seems to be spot on!

His article was printed  by Marcelo Gonzalez in Rorate Caeli  on 13th March, 2013, then used by Christopher Pearson in “The Weekend Australian” on 16th March, 2013.

(The following information was sent to me by a fellow member of the Remnant.)

“The Horror!
A Buenos Aires journalist describes Bergoglio

We have many friends around the world, including in the dear Argentine Republic. And we asked a cherished friend Marcelo González, of Panorama Católico Internacional, who knows the Church of Argentina as well as the palm of his hand to send us a report on the new pope. Here it goes:

Horror!

Of all the unthinkable candidates, Jorge Mario Bergoglio is perhaps the worst. Not because he openly professes doctrines against the faith and morals, but because, judging from his work as Archbishop of Buenos Aires, faith and morals seem to have been irrelevant to him.

A sworn enemy of the Traditional Mass, he has only allowed imitations of it in the hands of declared enemies of the ancient liturgy. He has persecuted every single priest who made an effort to wear a cassock, preach with firmness, or that was simply interested in Summorum Pontificum.

Famous for his inconsistency (at times, for the unintelligibility of his addresses and homilies), accustomed to the use of coarse, demagogical, and ambiguous expressions, it cannot be said that his magisterium is heterodox, but rather non-existent for how confusing it is.

His entourage in the Buenos Aires Curia, with the exception of a few clerics, has not been characterized by the virtue of their actions. Several are under grave suspicion of moral misbehavior.

He has not missed any occasion for holding acts in which he lent his Cathedral to Protestants, Muslims, Jews, and even to partisan groups in the name of an impossible and unnecessary interreligious dialogue. He is famous for his meetings with protestants in the Luna Park arena where, together with preacher of the Pontifical House, Raniero Cantalamessa, he was “blessed” by Protestant ministers, in a common act of worship in which he, in practice, accepted the validity of the “powers” of the TV-pastors.

This election is incomprehensible: he is not a polyglot, he has no Curial experience, he does not shine for his sanctity, he is loose in doctrine and liturgy, he has not fought against abortion and only very weakly against homosexual “marriage”[approved with practically no opposition from the episcopate], he has no manners to honor the Pontifical Throne. He has never fought for anything else than to remain in positions of power.

It really cannot be what Benedict wanted for the Church. And he does not seem to have any of the conditions required to continue his work.

May God help His Church. One can never dismiss, as humanly hard as it may seem, the possibility of a conversion… and, nonetheless, the future terrifies us.”

________________________________________________________

(To read these words just after the election, was a shock for most people and unbelievable. No-one else had anything like this to say. But reading it today, people can look back and say – ‘Yes. It’s all correct. It describes Bergoglio to a”T”)’.

______________________________________________________

Three days later, The Australian published Christopher Pearson’s article. Some excerpts appear below.

“March 16, 2013 12:00AM

Pope can’t pick a poor model

By Christopher Pearson

HABEMUS Papam! The shock of pope Benedict’s resignation has been swiftly replaced with the excitement that surrounds the election of Jorge Maria Bergoglio, his successor.

…  “The other novel element in this election is that Bergoglio is the first Jesuit pope, something conservative Catholics may find disquieting.”   …

“The first and most important responsibility of a pope is as a pastor. Pope Francis’s choice of a namesake and his experience in an archdiocese that is large and poor should stand him in good stead. But he is also the Bishop of Rome, with all the ceremonial duties that attend the office, and there are obvious problems with modelling himself too literally on il Poverello.

To take an obvious example, insisting on wearing a wooden pectoral cross will look like an affectation to appease the church’s enemies. Paradoxically, it is out of humility that he must learn to wear the finery the poor expect of their pope and – although no friend to tradition in his former post – he must preserve the solemnity of the papal liturgies.

No successor as pope could hope to rival Benedict in distinction as a theologian and no South American Jesuit could be expected to have such an inward understanding of the role of tradition in the life of the church. But as one who has struggled with the advance of evangelical Protestantism, Bergoglio should grasp the necessity of maintaining a distinctive Catholic formation and identity for his flock. There is no future in the universal church trying to adopt the theatrics and sacro-pop of the Pentecostalists.

...

“May God help His church. One can never dismiss, as humanly hard as it may seem, the possibility of a conversion … nonetheless, the future terrifies us.”

(This journalist, too, could recognize underlying problems with Bergoglio.)

________________________________________

All the things mentioned about Argentina and Bergolio have occurred over and over again  during his papacy. It is actually a blueprint.

We already know what to expect, but how do we convince the bulk of poor unsuspecting Catholics who think he is a pope for the people? As my friend who sent me this information said: “It is one thing to show his heresies after becoming pope, but what if he was already a heretic beforehand?

You can’t elect a heretic to be pope!!

Well that’s more evidence of anuncanonical election(as per St Francis of Assisi) on top of the other reasons.

Bergoglio’s pattern of words and actions today have shown to follow his past patterns of actions and words, (attacking doctrine, his use of language, his attacking of conservative and faithful priests, bishops and lay Catholics, etc) so in the future we can expect that  they will just continue in the same way.

Remnant Disciples

Our job – yours and mine, is to open the eyes of all the unsuspecting so that they are saved. Jesus wants all souls to be saved. He wants us to help Him.

So keep praying and spreading the news, Remnant Army!!!
