Why was the Holy Mass which was supposed to be said FOREVER AND ALL TIME according to Pope Saint Pius V's Papal Bull "Quo Primum" changed? Could it be changed legally? Look what has happened to the seminaries and the Churches. They aren't surrounding Rome/ the Vatican, they have taken over it Rome is the "Holy Place itself" and they have "Raised the thrown of their abominable impiety" there obscuring "the See of the most holy Peter and the Chair of Truth for the light of the world", which means they are inside!John Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09357755080498095233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767475475753279918.post-58820792737280295112016-10-17T16:24:04.298+01:002016-10-17T16:24:04.298+01:00Just pray.

Indeed, even Chapters 8-13, cited by Sister Lucy as pertaining to the content of the Third Secret of Fatima, are very difficult to understand.<br /><br />We may certainly judge by the "signs of the times" that great evil has arisen in our era, possibly a prelude to the reign of Antichrist. However, we cannot be certain of this, especially in light of Our Lady's promised triumph and the subsequent "period of peace" she guarantees to the world when the Pope and the bishops unite in a public and solemn consecration of Russia to her Immaculate Heart, which has yet to happen. So if we are to look forward to anything in the near future, it must be the happy time of a period of true Christian peace, not the end of the world.<br /><br />While I would certainly parallel the present supernatural Passion of the Church, the Mystical Body of Christ(since Vatican II), with the historical physical Passion of Christ, right down to the fearful hiding of Peter and most of the Apostles in the Upper Room, not to mention the apostasy of many former followers, scandalised by the disfigured body and countenance of Jesus Crucified, I would caution that such a trial is more likely the prelude to a resurrection of the Catholic Faith in its original Traditional glory, a new era of the reign of Christ our King and Mary our Queen over the nations, than the extinction of the nations phophesied for the time of Armaggedon.<br /><br />In fine, the present suffering is primarily spiritual. The Church has been infiltrated by evil and the Faith has been compromised, to the extent that division and confusion reign everywhere within the Church. Pope Paul VI said as much when he lamented that "through some fissure in the walls, the smoke of Satan has entered the Church and set her on a path of auto-destruction". This "smoke of Satan" is the liberalism that took control in the Church during and after Vatican II, undermining everything from the Holy Mass to the Sacraments, through doctrine and now, thanks to the recent Synod in Rome, the moral teaching. This is where the devil must be particularly identified and fought today, as Our Lady of Fatima indicated when she gave the year of 1960 as that when the chastisement would begin, the very year preparations began for Vatican II. And does not the text of the Third Secret begin with the words: "In Portugal the dogmas of the Faith will be preserved, etc., indicating that elsewhere they would come under serious assault?<br /><br />At any rate, a wise priest once said that we should not spend time trying to work out when the end of the world will come, for it is certain that it will come for each of us at death and we should prepare for that event by sanctifying our souls with the Mass, the Sacraments and a devtion to Our Lady's Rosary. The saints also have a little advice for us, which is that, in the event that prelates start altering the Faith in dubious or destructive ways, we must repsectfully refuse to obey, cleaving instead to antiquity, to the security of that which has been handed down for nearly two thousand years without alteration. In other words, stick with the ancient Mass in Latin, the Traditional administration of the Sacraments and all the teachings of the Popes against false ecumenism and inter-religious initiatives. I don't see how any of us can fail by doing this. Let the rest change as they will, we shall have the certainty of the Catholic Faith of the saints and martyrs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767475475753279918.post-11906195401020580682015-12-12T21:26:34.121+00:002015-12-12T21:26:34.121+00:00where does that nation gOD RAISED FROM ishmael,as ...where does that nation gOD RAISED FROM ishmael,as told to Abraham?

If you believe that Pope Francis is not the true pope, you need to be careful about falling into schism though. <br />My take on the 100 years of Satan's greater power is that this is the "little while of Satan" spoken of in the Apocalypse. As to the timing of when this period of the unbinding of Satan at the end time (or the "opening of the abyss") actually begins, the Apocalypse states that it would be marked by both a star falling to earth and the appearance of apocalyptic "locusts":<br /><br />"And the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star fallen from heaven to earth, and he was given the key to the shaft of the bottomless pit. He opened the shaft of the bottomless pit, and from the shaft rose smoke like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened with the smoke from the shaft. Then from the smoke came locusts on the earth, and they were given power like the power of scorpions of the earth."<br />(Rev 9:1-3)<br /><br />And if we look at the turn of the 20th century, we find the appearance not only a huge star falling to earth in the Tunguska event in 1908, but also the appearance of military aircraft just before WWI - which I argue in my book was the fulfillment of the prophecy of the apocalyptic locusts. So WWI marks the beginning of the fruits of Satan's greater power. I would agree that both 2014 and 2017 are also potentially important dates in relation to this. I There appears to be several layers to this prophecy.<br /><br /><br />Emmett O'Reganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01043723932377194248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767475475753279918.post-21259472172616430032014-06-10T18:13:18.705+01:002014-06-10T18:13:18.705+01:00pps - huh, I see that a few of these folks already...pps - huh, I see that a few of these folks already have had more or less the same idea about it...

Also: the first appearance of the Blessed Virgin at Fatima occurred in May 1917. Exactly 33 years after Pope Leo released his encyclical which was entirely about and against FREEMASONRY. Therefore, 1884 was a big year in the spiritual battles of Pope Leo XIII. And the events of Fatima followed on from them exactly 33 years later. And given that the miracle of the sun prefigured the literal last days "end of times" eclipse of the sun and God´s final judgement of men...is it not equally possible that God also has a general timeline that 2017 will be the literal time of the "Great Chastisement" and thus also the end of 100 years in which Satan will have done his best to corrupt and destroy the Catholic church and the whole world? For this to be true: between now and then there needs to occur: 1) WW3 (evidently this is occurring and anything can happen at any time as the world siruation teeters on the edge of conflict and potential chaos). 2) Drastic world economic crisis, famines and currency collapse...all quite possible. 3)The full-scale Apostasy of Rome. This is already in progress as pope Francis leads the church further and further into liberal compromises. October´s Extraordinary Synod is set to surprise us all, according to Francis´own words. 4) The violent sacking of Rome by Russia and other communist or anarchist hordes...and the ruthless martyrdom of the "holy father"/"bishop in white", who can only be Pope "Emeritus" Benedict XVI...who is STILL technically ALSO the real Pope (we now have TWO Popes, as foreseen by Catherine Emmerich and told to Mari-Loli at Garabandal). All of this must occur during the next three years for this to come about. We shall have to wait and see... But one thing is certain, the POSSIBILITY for it all to occur within this timeframe is very realistic. 2014 would represent the year in which the seeds of world war 3 must come to fruition, just as 1914 was for ww1. World war is also the perfect environment of chaos in which the devil can then unleash his other dirty plans, to ruin humanity and to destroy the church from within. Out of THIS mess he intends to begin building a "New World Order" with a new world religion of man to unite it...but God has other plans. I believe that everything is now set for the end-times wargame to begin; and Pope Francis, far from being the great restorer of the church will turn out to be the great destroyer as he leads her into increasing Apostasy and agreement with sin. It is THIS which will bring down the final judgement of God both on the Church of Rome and on the world. If that seems extreme to you, watch and wait... We already Ukraine, Israel-Iran, Korea and China-USA tensions brewing with No diplomatic solution in sight. Even if Francis´s recent efforts peace do seem to be leading to a two-state solution between Israel and Palestine, there is still the much greater problem of the conflict between Iran and Israel to solve...which will NOT be solved by planting trees and wishing for peace! Once any one of these ingrained conflicts begins to explode, the whole edifice of the present world order (false peace) can quickly degenerate into WW3...with Communist Russia and China coming against the USA and NATO countries, which themselves are likely to descend into various kinds of civil war as different people´s movements fight it out for who is in control. I say all of this not to inspire panic, but only to raise awareness that the FULLNESS of Catholic prophecy could well be about to fulfil itself in these very days. So pray and try to get your house in order before the great and terrible day of the Lord.broRobnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767475475753279918.post-11599331647753336522014-06-10T13:55:28.767+01:002014-06-10T13:55:28.767+01:00Good article, thanks.

This period covers exactly from when Satan was loosed according to Melanie, La Salette... until the completion of Vatican II council which undermined so many of the foundations of all that has been Catholicism. 2) 1914/17 to 2014/17. The period of WW1 began a major demise of the Church and moral condition of humanity... Leading up to our own times: 2014 to 2017: the time when The Church will finally Apostasise to the FULL and break up, as well as WW3, focussed against Europe and USA by Russia and China (gulp...). Therefore I say, BOTH of these two timelines offer a much more compelling and convincing context for the fulfilment of this prophecy. I offer this for profound thought in humility for the truth, not for any one-up-manship.

Joseph Iannuzi is an exorcist priest in good standing in the Roman Catholic Church.<br /><br /> People fail to realize that Pope Leo XIII's "Prayer Against Satan & His Apostate Angel" can be recited by the Catholic Faithful as a private simple exorcism.<br /><br /> Priests go to Rome become learn the basic rubrics of exorcism. They return and teach; but it is received by most in total disbelief.<br /><br /> We are taught to say they are simply ignorant; but I think it is far worse. Pope Paul VI said in his homily at Mass on the solemnity of Saints Peter & Paul, June 29, 1972: "Though some fissure the smoke of Satan has entered the Church." <br /><br /> The best evidence of the veracity of Pope Leo XIII's vision is the 20th Century until the present.<br /><br /> People call themselves Catholic traditionalist argue over things like the Latin Mass vs the New Mass. Pope St. Pius X said: ""Do not allow yourselves to be deceived by the cunning statements of those who persistently claim to wish to be with the Church, to love the Church, to fight so that people do not leave Her...But judge them by their works. If they despise the shepherds of the Church and even the Pope, if they attempt all means of evading their authority in order to elude their directives and judgments..., then about which Church do these men mean to speak? Certainly not about that established on the foundations of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the cornerstone (Eph. 2:20)." [Pope St. Pius X: Allocution of May 10, 1909]"<br /><br /> Pope Francis said recently something to the effect "instead of giving the Bread of Life," in reference to the Gospels and the truth, "they give them poison."<br /><br /> Inform yourselves. Know what private, public, simple, solemn mean in reference to prayer.<br /><br />ThomasAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767475475753279918.post-51427842015652604552013-12-20T01:36:34.525+00:002013-12-20T01:36:34.525+00:00November 7, 1917, the beginning of the Bolshevik R...November 7, 1917, the beginning of the Bolshevik Revolution, and October 13, 2017, the Centennial of the Miracle of the Sun are exactly 36,500 days, 100 hundred years apart.

This recent meteor strike and the Tunguska event appear to be related, and the fact that they have both occurred in Russia draws our attention to this country (which is the focus of the secrets of Fatima). If Tunguska marked the opening of the abyss, then Chelyabinsk would signify the abyss closing again at the end of the period of greater power, when Satan is cast from heaven to earth (cf. Isa 14:12-15) in order to allow the Second Pentecost to take place. This would then tie into the significance of the election of Pope Francis, if he truly is the "Worthy Shepherd" who will restore the Church.Emmett O'Reganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01043723932377194248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767475475753279918.post-81911642158745260822013-06-28T19:12:01.123+01:002013-06-28T19:12:01.123+01:00Emmett, this is on another topic but I'm posti...Emmett, this is on another topic but I'm posting it here.

But we are told that the appearance of these locusts occurs at the opening of the abyss by the angel holding the keys of Death and Hades - which is at the start of the "little while" given to Satan. And the start of the "little while" in Rev 20 is the same as the 100 years of greater power in Pope Leo's vision. So the "locusts" appear at the very beginning of the "little while" or the 100 years. Given the fact that military aircraft first appeared at the beginning of the 20th century (which is identified by Pope Leo's vision as the beginning of the period of Satan's greater power), this would further suggest that the "locusts" were the aircraft of the world wars.Emmett O'Reganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01043723932377194248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767475475753279918.post-12545594928378973832013-06-14T23:16:11.150+01:002013-06-14T23:16:11.150+01:00I believe that the hundred years of Satan's re...I believe that the hundred years of Satan's reign began with the success of the Russian revolution which coincided with the last apparition at Fatima.

(It also occurs to me that maybe 'drones' are more like locusts than military aircraft).Lepantohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02487748842744745860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767475475753279918.post-19589214498201372962013-06-04T19:19:56.398+01:002013-06-04T19:19:56.398+01:00From a pure logical standpoint I would like the mi...From a pure logical standpoint I would like the millennial apologists( all of those who believe in the intermediate tribulations and following "era of peace") - why would those who already survived the chastisement and now experience "era of peace" sin again and even worse just to fall off the grace again? If men are being punished so gravely that they eventually convert - there is no way, being left about 1/3 of the current population they will revert to even more grave sin again.<br />It is simply against any logic and any pattern of behavior.<br /><br />On a contrary, if one assumes that the wave of sin is just growing in it's potency throughout time and will eventually break the patience of God and we will encounter all the tribulations and punishment, including the persecution of the Church and Antichrist before the Last Judgement - it is absolutely logical and fits the line of events told us by Our Lord Jesus Christ Himself.<br />He never talked about any intermediate punishments and intermediate eras of peace.<br /><br />anon11Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767475475753279918.post-42435083664407367572013-06-04T10:44:36.776+01:002013-06-04T10:44:36.776+01:00Part Two

Many of the faithful will be martyred. Several prophecies indicate that the Holy Father (the Third Secret of Fatima of the vision of the Bishop in White and St. John Bosco's vision of the two columns being just two) will we among the martyrs as well as many priests and religious. According to some prophecies the minor chastisement will last about four years. The Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph in the end and a period of peace will be granted to mankind. The duration of this peace depends entirely upon mankind and how well he cooperates with God's grace. During this golden age of peace, the final victory of the One True Church, the Gospel will be preached to every person living on the planet. [BtW, the fact that the Gospel still hasn't been proclaimed to all the ends of the earth is how we can know that the end is not imminent. There are still many places in the world particularly in Asia and Africa were people have never heard of Jesus. The age of the Gentiles is not yet complete.] That doesn't mean that all will embrace the truth. The weeds and tares will co-exist in this world until the time of the final harvest which will take place during the final persecution of the Church (aka the major chastisement) under Antichrist at the close of world history. During the age of peace God will shower mankind abundantly with many gifts and graces. The earth will be the more fertile than it has ever been before. Man will be blessed both materially and spiritually to an extent never before witnessed. For some reason mankind can't handle extended periods of peace and prosperity. He tends to forget that all blessings are from God and even starts to delude himself into believing that he is the source of them. As a result of this, little by little man will again start to grow lax in his duties and obligations owed to God. His love for God and his fellow creatures will eventually become extinguished (the elect excepted). Because man will have been so richly blessed, those who refuse to believe will be without excuse. That is why Jesus said that when He returns will he find any faith? This is why the present times we are living in cannot be the "Great Apostasy". Sure we are witnessing an apostasy from the faith but is is not the "Great Apostasy" foretold by St. Paul in 2 Thess. 2:3. The great apostasy doesn't begin to happen until towards end of the age of peace and will last the entire duration of Antichrists reign, the time when the love of many will grow cold.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767475475753279918.post-19427214538486348392013-06-04T10:42:07.623+01:002013-06-04T10:42:07.623+01:00Part One.

The End of the Pr...Part One.<br /><br />Check out this link.<br /><br />The End of the Present World and Mysteries of the Future Life - Father Charles Arminjon<br />http://www.catholic-soe.org/catholicbooks.html<br /><br />Fr. Arminjon's book was written in the late 1880s, long before Our Lady of Fatima promised a final age of peace before the end of the world. After doing and extensive study of Scripture and writings of the Patristic Fathers, this is what he wrote:<br /><br />"These texts are explicit and precise. It is clear from their testimony that there will come a time when all heresies and schisms will be overcome, and when the true religion will be known and practiced in all places illuminated by the sun."<br /><br />Speaking of Our Lady of Fatima, Sr. Lucia once revealed that the Third Secret was contained in chapters 8-13 of the Book of Revelation.<br /><br />If you haven't already read "Trial, Tribulation and Triumph" by Desmond A. Birch and Rev. Bernard Herman Kramer's "Book of Destiny" I highly recommend you do. Mr. Birch did an extensive study of all the prophecies given to the saints that have received full approval from the Church. He has a chapter that lists some private revelations about the coming age of peace. Fr. Kramer spent 30 years studying the greatest scriptural commentaries written on eschatological exegetes before he wrote his book. He explains line by line the meaning of the entire Book of Revelation. Scripture confirms there will be an age of peace granted to mankind before the advent of Antichrist before the second coming of the Messiah. One thing that must be kept in mind is that Book of Revelation is not written in chronological order. Fr. Kramer was of the opinion (as of 1955) a full 57 years ago that we were then on the cusp of the second woe foretold in Revelation. <br /><br />The world at present is on the verge of the minor chastisement, a chastisement unparalleled in the entire history of the world up to present. It is estimated that as many as two thirds to three fourths of mankind will perish during the chastisement. The chastisement has two parts, the first is man-made. Because man has refused to obey God's laws and precepts, He has withdrawn many graces. He will allow man to suffer from all the consequences of his own folly. This includes wars, famines,etc. During the second phase, God will directly intervene to put an end to all the carnage. Some believe God's intervention will manifest itself in the "Three Days of Darkness". All this because mankind refused to heed Our Lady's warning to better ourselves by true repentance and conversion and by offering up many sacrifices and penances for our sins. The whole sorry event could have been completely avoided if we had just listened and obeyed. God in His ineffable goodness and mercy and has been so outraged by our sins, we will now experience His just wrath. JPII said that the minor chastisement can no longer be averted but that some of the punishments can still be somewhat mitigated by our prayers and penances. Unfortunately the chastisement itself is inevitable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
