Update on the route to my PhD

I've decided that my best option for obtaining my PhD is by studying at home in Queen's University Belfast under the tutelage of Prof. Gordon Campbell. Prof. Campbell is one of the world's leading experts on the Book of Revelation, so it makes sense to avail of the opportunity to receive such academic tutelage in this field. Prof. Campbell is a member of the non-denominational Irish Biblical Association (IBA), which I am interested in joining. The IBA is composed of Ireland's leading biblical scholars (both Catholic and Protestant), so I think membership of this group will provide a brilliant resource for my future scholarly research.
In order to gain access to the doctoral program at Queen's, I will need to secure a Master of Research post-graduate degree first (MRes). Given that my area of focus for my PhD is most likely going to be in biblical studies, I will need to continue learning both Greek and Hebrew in greater depth.
Thanks to your generous support, I already nearly have enough money to cover the fees for a part-time MRes degree starting this year. I'm hoping to be able to study full time, but will know better about the feasibility of this later in the year. So I wish to thank you all for making this possible for me. I will be permanently grateful for each of you who donated, as you have brought me this life-changing opportunity. I hope to have your continued support throughout the course of my doctorate.

    The 100 Year Time Limit Regarding the Consecration

    enjoy

    ReplyDelete
  9. Listening to Father Gruner's comments in this video, I conclude that once again, mankind is imposing time limits on divine actions. Neither Our Lord nor Our Lady ever mentioned a time limit, only that it would "be late" when the Consecration was finally done properly. The key word here is "properly." In this video, Father Gruner pointed out that in 1952, the pope did indeed consecrate Russia, but he did not do it in concert with all the bishops, and therefore did not do it properly. Each time a pope consecrated the world, some good came out of it. After performing the consecration of the world in 1942, the pope was told by Our Lord that the time of World War II would be shortened. In 1984, when Pope St. John Paul II consecrated the world, a war with Russia was averted. I believe these are signs: If a mere consecration of the world could bring about these results, the proper consecration of Russia will do so much more, as we are assured by Our Lady's promises.

    Jeremiah 49:34-39 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

    Prophecy against Elam

    34 That which came as the word of the Lord to Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam, at the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying:

    35 “Thus says the Lord of hosts,
    ‘Behold, I am going to break the bow of Elam,
    The [a]finest of their might.
    36 ‘I will bring upon Elam the four winds
    From the four ends of heaven,
    And will scatter them to all these winds;
    And there will be no nation
    To which the outcasts of Elam will not go.
    37 ‘So I will [b]shatter Elam before their enemies
    And before those who seek their lives;
    And I will bring calamity upon them,
    Even My fierce anger,’ declares the Lord,
    ‘And I will send out the sword after them
    Until I have consumed them.
    38 ‘Then I will set My throne in Elam
    And destroy [c]out of it king and princes,’
    Declares the Lord.
    39 ‘But it will come about in the last days
    That I will restore the [d]fortunes of Elam,’”
    Declares the Lord.

  23. The burden against Damascus.

    is this close and next??

    Isaiah 17 New King James Version (NKJV)


    Proclamation Against Syria and Israel


    17 The burden against Damascus.

    “Behold, Damascus will cease from being a city,
    And it will be a ruinous heap.
    2 The cities of Aroer are forsaken;[a]
    They will be for flocks
    Which lie down, and no one will make them afraid.
    3 The fortress also will cease from Ephraim,
    The kingdom from Damascus,
    And the remnant of Syria;
    They will be as the glory of the children of Israel,”
    Says the Lord of hosts.

    4 “In that day it shall come to pass
    That the glory of Jacob will wane,
    And the fatness of his flesh grow lean.
    5 It shall be as when the harvester gathers the grain,
    And reaps the heads with his arm;
    It shall be as he who gathers heads of grain
    In the Valley of Rephaim.
    6 Yet gleaning grapes will be left in it,
    Like the shaking of an olive tree,
    Two or three olives at the top of the uppermost bough,
    Four or five in its most fruitful branches,”
    Says the Lord God of Israel.

    7 In that day a man will look to his Maker,
    And his eyes will have respect for the Holy One of Israel.
    8 He will not look to the altars,
    The work of his hands;
    He will not respect what his fingers have made,
    Nor the wooden images[b] nor the incense altars.

    9 In that day his strong cities will be as a forsaken bough[c]
    And an uppermost branch,[d]
    Which they left because of the children of Israel;
    And there will be desolation.
    10 Because you have forgotten the God of your salvation,
    And have not been mindful of the Rock of your stronghold,
    Therefore you will plant pleasant plants
    And set out foreign seedlings;
    11 In the day you will make your plant to grow,
    And in the morning you will make your seed to flourish;
    But the harvest will be a heap of ruins
    In the day of grief and desperate sorrow.

    12 Woe to the multitude of many people
    Who make a noise like the roar of the seas,
    And to the rushing of nations
    That make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters!
    13 The nations will rush like the rushing of many waters;
    But God will rebuke them and they will flee far away,
    And be chased like the chaff of the mountains before the wind,
    Like a rolling thing before the whirlwind.
    14 Then behold, at eventide, trouble!
    And before the morning, he is no more.
    This is the portion of those who plunder us,
    And the lot of those who rob us.

  24. This part really jumped out at me Chris even though I can't figure out any interpretation of it as it may reflect our present time; do you know if any good interpretation of this part of the prophecy exists?

    4 “In that day it shall come to pass
    That the glory of Jacob will wane,
    And the fatness of his flesh grow lean.
    5 It shall be as when the harvester gathers the grain,
    And reaps the heads with his arm;
    It shall be as he who gathers heads of grain
    In the Valley of Rephaim.
    6 Yet gleaning grapes will be left in it,
    Like the shaking of an olive tree,
    Two or three olives at the top of the uppermost bough,
    Four or five in its most fruitful branches,”
    Says the Lord God of Israel.

    And Mark W., isn't that so extremely disturbing? I just read an article today on Japan coming huge, huge demographic problem, where their number of births has dropped again for another year as it has every year since 1981, and the country is on track to losing 10s of millions of its population (and Russia has a very similar demographic crunch coming) where a very hard population will need more tax dollars than ever to provide them with even a bare minimum quality of living and no new young workers to pay those taxes. Japan is especially resistant to any sort of immigration as say Germany relied on to fill their demographic gap in the 1970s. All this leads me to believe that due to theur national insistence of keeping a homogeneous culture that Japan may be the place where we see human cloning of babies (possibly to be raised by an masse by some sort of state-run system) as the only answer they feel they have to make up for the birthrate that continues to fall so drastically despite HUGE governmental financial and other incentive... I can almost hear the Imperial Stormtrooper March playing in the background when I shudder at the implication that this might have if it becomes commonplace in almist all the Western Industrialized nations who are facing a demographic crunch as well that might put the most basic functioning of the economy in danger, such that they will be absoluteky fighting over who gets to take immigrants in another 20 years... and automation us no answer (robots don't pay taxes).

    ReplyDelete
  25. If you ask me, excessive automation is actually part of the problem. (Please note the key word "excessive.") Aside from the cultural pressure not to have "too many" children (What does that even mean?), why bring a child into the world when he won't be able to get a job when he grows up? Trump tells us that globalization has hurt our economy, and he's right...to a point. There are many factors that have turned us from a manufacturing economy to a service economy, and globalization is only one of them. Excessive automation is another. I don't pretend to know what the rest are, when even the experts don't agree on them.

  28. Okay, correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't the writings of Nostradamus condemned back when the Index of Forbidden Books was still around? The index isn't around anymore, but doesn't that NOT change the fact that Nostradamus' writings were condemned? As I understand it, that means we're no longer forbidden to read his works, but we're not supposed to put any stock in what he wrote.

    He wrote criptic quatrains in the late 1500's i think.. 98 per cent dont understand them. it is only in the last few years that some have bbecome discernable.. for example obama has answewred some riddles, turkeys erdogan has surfaced, trump has surfaced, the scary thing is that if he is correct turkey and greece are going to start things very soon along with a agreement in the orient which will be a clue to economic chaos

    so the point is only now can some sense be made of his prognostications. And if he was misunderstand by the people who were also at odds over Nicolaus Copernicus his development of the heliocentric theory, you are giving too much credit to the power that ruled against releasing the dead sea scrolls.. truth is dangerous and peace is a cause for a death sentence in your world.. don't be so confining until you get a bit more info.

  38. Thanks for the correction, Chris. You're right; sometimes things are forbidden simply because they are poorly understood, and thus dangerous, because, being misunderstood, they can lead people away from the faith. After all, heliocentrism was so thoroughly linked to the creation of man in most people's minds, that to refute it was to throw doubt on the whole issue of man as God's special creation. Galileo was silenced to allow time for the issue to be properly studied and addressed; when he jumped the gun and spread his findings about anyway, his writings were forbidden to try to contain the potential damage.

    Once things are more readily understood properly, then the danger is mitigated.
    .
    On a completely different note, I remember being told, many years ago, that Nostradamus once said something about a great war between a "bear" and an "eagle;" I still remember the quote (which may not be quite accurate, since it heard it secondhand) that said, "The eagle will be wounded, but the bear will die." This exchange took place at the height of the Cold War, and the person who told it to me firmly believed that it referred to that particular situation.
    .
    I read the quatrains a few years later, and did not find anything even remotely close to that in them. I've never seen any of his other works. Do you know if such a reference exists in any of his writings?
    .
    As for my outlook on unapproved sources...I, personally, have to be extremely cautious about approaching unapproved prophetic works, because I have been burned in that area in the past. An open-minded approach to such things, and clerics who were not of a mind to explain WHY the prohibitions existed, led me into a ten-year foray into the New Age movement, which only God's grace eventually got me out of. (Having a grandmother and a father who believed in astrology didn't help.) So if I come off as if I believe "truth is dangerous" etc., it's purely defensive.

  41. Spaghetti to the wall...LOL! Cute little anecdote about that. First, for those who don't get that reference, the old joke was, to see if spaghetti was cooked enough, you threw a piece at the wall, and if it stuck, it was done. Well, at one point, my dad decided to see if that was true. It was. The funny part was, since the flat we lived in at the time had fifteen-foot ceilings, and the piece landed just below the ceiling, it remained stuck to that wall until we moved out five years later, because we didn't have a ladder high enough to get up there to get it down!

  49. Personally, I don't buy any of the "dangerous food" stories there are out there. There's so much contradictory information, so much "science" whose results are skewed according to who's providing the funding for same, that I feel it's all unreliable. My brother's cardiologist bases a lot of his work on his own personal study and experience, and he says most of the stuff you find online is pure bunk. Butter is much better for you than margarine, and, eaten in moderation, eggs are safe. (Key word being moderation.)
    .
    The problem with such things is that they are assuming that health-care is "one size fits all," and nothing could be farther from the truth. Working in a hospital myself for fourteen years, I lost count of how many patients I saw come in with cholesterol levels in the low 200s, exercising regularly, and doing all the "right" things, but still having heart attacks...in their 30s and 40s.
    .
    On the other side of the coin, I've also known of patients who lived into their 90s, ate eggs, red meat, and all the things you're "not supposed to," and were found to have perfectly clear coronary arteries after death.
    .
    The truth of the matter is, no matter what you read or hear online, medical science simply does not know, in anything even remotely resembling a definitive manner, what causes heart attacks. Bottom line: If God decides you're time is not up yet, nothing you or anyone else does is going to end your life. But if it IS up, nothing you or anyone else does can keep you alive one second longer. So why worry about it?

    I once found a poem in a doctor's office. I don't know who wrote it; I was unable to obtain a copy of it. It decried the whole low-fat, low-cholesterol diet that was the fad of the day (this was in the late 1980s); the only part I remember is the last line, which says it all: "With food in our bellies, we'll starve to death - but our arteries will be clean."

    What was known only to a few in the Catholic world was that on June 5, 2017, the Pilgrim Image of Our Lady of Fatima had been brought by a group of South Korean priests and lay people to the Demilitarized Zone. There at the border between the two nations, they prayed for peace and reconciliation of the two warring nations. There was a symbolic turning of the pilgrim statue towards North Korea as the assembly prayed fervently. To the devotees of Our Lady of Fatima, there is no doubt that the sudden turn of events in the Korean peninsula, comparable to the Fall of the Berlin Wall and the eventual dissolution of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War, can only be attributed to the intercession of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

    uropean Leaders Set to Abolish the European Union, Signed Agreement to Create European Superstate, EU Chief: ‘We have to replace the United States’



    The biblical significance of these momentous developments in Europe has been widely recognized by students of Bible prophecy. For example, commenting on the signs of the times that point to the Lord’s soon return, Dr. S. Franklin Logsdon wrote:

    “The present statehood of Israel is a powerful indication of the ending of the age. The Ecumenical Movement is another. Perhaps equal to either of these is the European Common Market with its many implications… it is an economic community, a breaking down of national barriers, a getting together on certain common bases. The whole idea is to reshape the face of Europe. This was attempted by Caesar, by Napoleon, and by Hitler, but their means to this end were not subtle or as work-able as those proposed by the Common Market. They used ammunition; today’s promoters use bread. And let it be said that the reshaping of the face of Europe approximates the kingdom to arise out of the old Roman Empire — the last Gentile power.”3

    Those words were written in 1973, long before the European Economic Community had evolved into the much stronger and more significant European Union of 1993.

  54. right on JMC.

    Genes contribute a huge amount.
    Stress does too. Alcohol is a quandry for the med. community..one reason it's healthy is it helps us de-stress.

    for me, eating natural, normal foods is a way to glorify God. My spirit isn't happy when I eat a lot of processed foods, therefore my body follows my spirit. a old buddy of mine thrives on it and his numbers are perfect. it makes him happy. he is miserable eating vegetables and fruit - he hates it! look at warren buffet, drinking his daily cokes and daily McDonald's. the man simply loves life, he can't wait to wake up in the morning and continue studying his stocks. his life energy drives him, not his diet.

    my cholestrol is at a level of someone 40 years younger, and I eat eggs daily. shrimp often, too. but I am a naturally anxious person and I'll probably die young in perfect health.

    ReplyDelete
  57. I recently had to sell one of my vehicles (I kept one for winter driving as it was heavier and safer, but probably didn't need the summer car anyways) to pay for legal bills (despite not wanting to ever file a petition for divorce, my estranged wife wint sign a waiver on rights to my oention should i pass away, so to make sure my daughter wasn't kind of robbed of that because it's realky the onky ok inheritance I could g8ce her should I pass away, which is a possibility because if health problems), but my uncle who is also my lawyer decided to take 500 dollars off his usual fee becaused he kniws on disability my fixed income doesn't have a lot of room for disposable income. My initial reaction was, Yay, I can get a new iPad, or maybe go to the Maritimes for a weekend to visit old friends... but after thinking about it for a week I really couldn't get it out of my head that this was a financial windfall that Our Lord gave me very unexpectedly out of soneone else's generosity, and that it felt like it hapoened maybe jyst so I could share my good fortune with Emmett to hekpl him her closer to his goal.

    Although it may be difficult for anyone to believe that I'm posting this for reasons ither than self-aggrandizement (like the man donating in the temple but making a bug shiw of it), it is honestly as a challenge to other frequent readers of Emmett's book and blog. If we realky believe his take on things (which I believe strongly he has as very special gift and grace for the interpretation of prophecy), helping him further his educational goals really could have an impact on his message getting out further, which could really help save mire would and further the mission if the Church in general.

    I'd like to ask anyone out there, if you happen to come into some money through the specific ku ndness and generosity of someone, money you woukd never have otherwise received, to please consider sharing that good fortune with Emmett. I'm a goid exampke if someone of moderateky meager means but Our Lord blessed me, and if u can help Emmett I think many others coulkd reach diwn again or Maybe for the first time to contribute to his GoFund me educational fund. I believe akso that Our Lord will tears you in some way as well for donating to such a very worthy cause. Thanjs for reading, and if I am tooting my own hien, please know that was not my motivation... let's just all try to do anither round of pitching in to help Emmett and by doing so really potentially helping the world as well! His blessings and your intentions through the Immaculate Heart be upon all of y'all and I hope you all might cone into some pennies from Heaven as I did to help Emmett out.

  59. In 1963, congressman Hon. A.S. Herlong Jr. of Florida read a list of 45 communist goals into the congressional record in an attempt to warn America about the dangers of the movement.

    The congressman quoted from Cleon Skousen’s book “The Naked Communist.”

    https://www.infowars.com/read-the-secret-45-goals-of-communism-leaked-to-congress-in-1963/


    1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.

    2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.

    3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.

    4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.

    5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.

    6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.

    7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.

    8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev’s promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of
    the U.N.

    9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.

    10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.

    11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as
    they are now doing in the Congo.)

    12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.

    13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.

    14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.

    15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.

    16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.

    17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.

    18. Gain control of all student newspapers.

    19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.

    20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.

    21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.

    22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”

    23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”

    24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.

    25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.

    26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”

    27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.”

    28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”

  61. Most of those things had already been in motion in America since 1917. McCarthy had it right in the 1950s when he said there were Communist infiltrators in both major political parties; unfortunately, he got carried away and violated the Constitution himself in his "witch hunt." It was already too late anyway.

  64. JMC, I think that Jerusalem being recognized as the capital of Israel is definitely connected in some way with the centenary of Fatima. I'll try to work on some ideas when I find the time. The apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima happened around the signing of the Balfour Declaration, and much of the symbolism can be connected to the significance of the Jewish Holocaust.

    ReplyDelete
  65. I looked it up and found a facsimile of the actual declaration; the date on it (November 2, 1917) jumped out at me. It was only two weeks after the last apparition! That actually adds extra significance to a little-known fact about Our Lady's appearance during the apparitions. Sister Lucia, when describing her for an artist, said she was dressed all in white...and wore a yellow Star of David on her breast. That all by itself, to me, is one connection to the Jewish Holocaust, since before they started rounding up the Jews for deportation to the death camps, the Nazi government made all Jews wear that very symbol on all their clothing, and it was the symbol they wore on their prison uniforms as well.

  67. Hey JMC! I wondered the same thing. You should go back and read Emmett’s post last year about Our Lady of Fatima and the Conversion of the Jews.

    http://unveilingtheapocalypse.blogspot.com/2017/05/our-lady-of-fatima-and-conversion-of.html?m=1

    So, in relation to future events, I’m guessing the U.S. Embassy being moved to Jerusalem is just one more arrow pointing to the significance of Jerusalem where the Sign of the Son of Man will occur?

    ReplyDelete
  68. Hi, Bridget. I've read that post, though I could probably stand to review it. (I've been a regular at this site for a little over a year now and have been slowly working my way through his earlier posts as well.)
    .
    Interestingly, everything that's been said about the Sign of the Son of Man reminds me of something that was said in a book I read on the Akita apparitions. Our Lady said there would be no sacraments available after the firefall because there would be so few priests left. The only thing, she told the visionary Sister, the survivors would have was the Rosary and "the Sign left by my Son." From everything I've gathered, the fire falling from the sky is directly connected with the Three Days Darkness; writings concerning the latter often mention a rain of fire. The Sign is supposed to appear in the sky and be visible all over the world, and remain there throughout, and the Three Days is supposed to be one of the last things to happen before the end, though I imagine that there will still be some time left, since the prophecy also says that a few people who are caught outdoors when it occurs will survive and be converted. Clearly God has some particular plan in mind for them in the interim before His return. All told, I imagine we have quite some time before either of these things occur, since there's so much that has to happen first.

  76. There was a lot of noise last year about the Vatican making a final decision on Medjugorje, and then...nothing. Was a decision ever made? If so, what was it? All I can find on the Internet is conflicting information. For every article/video that says it's been approved at least at the local level, there's another that says there has been no approval, citing comments from the clergy involved that run the gamut from "nothing supernatural" to "possibly diabolical." The very confusion itself is worrisome.

    ReplyDelete
  77. I've been a little wary of the alleged Medjugorje apparitions necayse of things like Our Lady supporting books that are on the Church's banned list (Poem of tge Man-God), which is hard to reconcile in my own mind, and also the incident when one if the visionaries said Our Lady allowed a scheduled apparition to be postponed so the visionary could finish watching a football match he didn't want to miss, which just feels realky sketchy.

    I wish the Church would make a ruling with finality to it, and if it's positive ruling so I feel I could get interested in the apparitions there.

    When I asked my parish priest about it (who very much believes in the veracity of the visions himself) he said its unlikely the Church would make a positive ruling ever becayse there are prophecies involved which are still to come to pass (with the implication seeming to be the Church wouldn't want egg on its face if they judged the visions to be authentic and the prophesied events didn't occur). Are there any other cases that have set a precedent for this? I'm not sure.

    I want to believe and accept and study the nessage if Medjugorje if they are genuine.... but I'm too skittish without a final decision being made.

    p.s. I'm glad I could help Emnett, but I'll respect your wishes about having donated enough (though I still really believe God gave me this extra thousand dollars or so to be able to help you out specifically). I'm hoping and praying very much that you reach your goal!

    ReplyDelete
  78. I understand it has always been Church policy not to approve prophetic apparitions until and unless at least one of the prophecies (as there are usually several) come to pass. And we all know it has less to do with the Church wishing to avoid egg on its face than avoiding people being led astray by false prophecies. (Though I'm sure there are some anti-egg individuals; after all, that's just in human nature. ;D)

    Shroud Hologram Reveals Secret End Times Message

  80. Okay, what I got from this video was that they found an object with a three-letter Hebrew word on it that translates, "the Lamb." How is this a secret end-times message? I mean, we already knew Christ was the Lamb of God. About the only significance I see to this is, it's proof to the open-minded skeptic that this probably really is Our Lord's burial shroud.
    .
    I do find it curious that there was this solid object with the word on it, when the Bible makes no mention of any object placed in the tomb with Him.

  82. Chris - it's actually an acceptable theological stance. The problem is that it's just bombed the mainstream media without any clarification. The statements can be ok, but they need to come with massive admonitions not to act out on this physically, and that it's a cross to be borne and endured, not celebrated and affirmed. That seems to be lacking in both the journalism and the pope's statement (though I'm never quite sure if the journalista's are quoting him correctly anymore).

    As it is, these comments could take many souls into darkness.

An avalanche of posts from a single user is intimidating to other frewyenters if the site I fear and coukd explain why so few people are posting compared to in the past.

    Ireland is one of the few places remaining on earth that guarantees the rights of the unborn and tomorrow is a pivotal day in Irish history,so please pray for my country.

Absolutely heartbroken and disgusted and quite frankly ashamed of my own people.Lucifer has long raged against Ireland in the form of brutal oppressions and famine and now finally he has his prize.

God forgive them and rememeber the heroic 30% who fought valiantly in defense of innocent life

  92. The flood that is prophesied to sweep away Ireland someday seems to be a double-edged sword: an act of mercy for the faithful, but a punishment for those who turned away. The chastisement in the form of natural disasters is prophesied to come down on the entire world, but I think I'm seeing a pattern: The worst disasters seem to be reserved for those places that spearheaded the "human sacrifice" movement...and yes, let's call it what it really is. When people turn to Satan, he always demands human sacrifice eventually...and that sacrifice doesn't have to be willing, or even be aware of what's happening, so society's "throwaways" - the unwanted babies, the vegetative elders no one wants to be bothered taking care of - are perfect for the purpose. God help us.

  93. We know our most natural state as Christians is suffering and ideally uniting our suffering with Christ... thinking of the countries in the past that suffered the most (Ireland starting further back, while Poland maybe suffered more than any other European country in the 20th century) were also the ones that seem(ed) most devoted to the faith. It feels like without the suffering the holiness can easily go out the window due to prideful intransigence that the ways of man are better than the ways of God. People and countries that suffer in a way may actually have it a lot easier spiritually thsn those that don't it seems.

  94. So, why do you all think God didn’t (or didn’t seem to at least based on our understanding) answer all of the prayers to protect the unborn keep the eighth amendment?? All of the rosaries, novenas, and fasting for months that I’m sure so many dedicated themselves to in preparation for this vote...were there just not enough prayers??? Is that a dumb question??

Today I've lost a huge part of me my nationality and it hurts but my faith consoles me so even in the midst of such angst and despair God never leaves us, it is to Christ the King we must place our hope.May God forgive those Irish people who leapt into lucifers arms for their treachery,and may He bless those heroic Irish who fought so resolutely in the defence of the unborn

  95. Jason, when you're right, you're right. The world is trying so hard to avoid suffering...but that very suffering can be turned into a prayer. Our Lady gave the children at Fatima a prayer to say in the midst of suffering: "O my Jesus, it is for love of Thee, in reparation for sins against the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and for the conversion of all poor sinners."
    .
    If suffering can save even just one soul from the fires of Hell, then it's definitely worth it.
    .
    Here's something I read in St. Mary of Agreda's "Mystical City of God" (not to be confused with St. Augustine's "City of God," which is a different book entirely): Our Lady told St. Mary that, when the Holy Innocents were killed by the soldiers of Herod, trying to kill the Christ Child, God gave those infants two great gifts: First, he sanctified them, cleansed them of Original Sin so they could go to Heaven; second, he gave them the use of reason so that they could offer up their sufferings, joined with those Christ would one day have to undergo, for the rest of us. I often pray that God would give those same gifts to those innocent souls who are killed before they can even be born, much less baptized, both for our own salvation, and so that those babies may not be deprived of the Beatific Vision. May this bit of information give hope to all of us who are grieving over the results of Ireland's referendum.

  96. JMC, thanks for that very inspiring (and dare I say spiritually inspired by the Trinity with Their Feast this weekend)... I got those particular chills that I get when I hear a homily that is just on fire with the Holy Spirit, God manifested in the Word of God delivered with the Helper! You shared such a wonderful spiritually insight that replaced my fear with hope.

    And thanks for that prayer so much, I only knew the one, "O my Jesus, forgive us our sins,...", but pray that one quite often outside of the decades of the Rosary. When im in a lot of pain which is faurly common, especually when my illness is fully out if remission and I'm stuck in bed for long periods if time I will pray this prayer constantly (sometimes the pain is so pervasive that I can't do anything, not read or watch TV or even really move... but I can always pray... which is another spiritual blessing that hadn't even occurred to me until now, thank You Jesus), it is just the right length and power behind thise words that I know I'll always be able to formulate it no matter what level of distraction).

    It is disheartening when our prayers aren't answered the way they like, but God always, always answered our prayers, sonetimes it's just that He just says "no", not out of any cruelty, but beca use His nature isn't to be a wishing well that always says "yes" (sorry for the crude analogy but it's all I could think of), because His ways always fit into a giant master-plan so to speak, His Will, that us too big for us to grasp the whole of it at once, or even parts of it ever until we're purified by Him enough to take part in the entire Beatific Vision, and most if all, because He created us in His Divine Image when it comes to our free will especially (I almost typed choice but that very word holds such instinctive negative connotations for me after living in Western industrialized liberal democracies for 48 years)... He knocks on the door of each and everyone of our hearts continuously if we have them closed, but here mentality, a warped and deceptive message, the abrogation of personal responsibility being divorced from sex, and increasingly divirced frim ever more things all the time.

    Today I'm reminded of the wuite, "Where they first burn books, they will later burn people", not exact wording, and how that came exactly to pass in Nazi Germany, and the thought, "Where we first burn babies, we were later burn our entire species"... people have so hardened their hearts on the topic of abortion that to turn us back towards Him and shake off our stubbornness and embrace His path of true happiness and joy it will take a very large chastisememt, maybe sperm-levels will continue to plummet or even speed up the rate of the decline by an order of magnitude, or through a nuclear holocaust that would indeed make the living envy the dead.

    (The burning I thought of both literally as aborted children are most often incinerated and figuratively as I suspect the Canaanite/Phoenician God Ba'al that demanded child human sacrifice burned alive is very much an actual demon and I believe still the driving force of our modern child human sacrifice to our pride in thinking we know better than God, just as the Canaanites did, and their fate was not pretty with the orders God gave the Israelites).

  97. If I may go off topic, I thought if a true miracle that happened to my Grandma when she lived in Nazi Germany and later Soviet Russia.

    My family were volkdeutsch (German speakers who lived in the East, in this case Austrian colonists in Galicia that had lived there mamy generations).

    They had been transferred to Posen (Poznan) in a population exchange with the Soviets after Poland was carved up between the two, and we're captured by the Soviets, my Grandma, two aunts, an uncle and my dad, in 1944, and were sent to a Russian work camp for many years before escaping first the camp and then to the West.

    The miracle began after my Grandma voted for Hitler in a sham election far into the War with only Hitler on the ballot of course; because his underlings wanted Hitler pleased with the election turnout though the only vote could be for him, if you didn't vote, you didmt get your ration card, which was at that point the sole source of food. My Auntie told me that Grandm was so upset, she needed to be able to feed her kids and had seen other families starve to death for displeasing the regime before by having their ration cards revoked, but she thought she committed an unforgivable sin by voting for Hitler even though it was purely symbolic (she had felt as if she had literally accepted the Mark of the Beast, the ration card, suspecting very highly that Hitler was an Antichrist), so much so that she was inconsolable. She had I guess what could be called some sort of vision where Our Lord told her she was forgiven but that also as a sign that He would *never* abandon her and always be with her and her children even when feeling very abandoned so she would never give up hope or the will to live, that she would have a certain Bible in the house for the rest of her life come what may, through thick and thin

    When they were being evacuated by the volkssturm to escape the approaching Soviet advance Bibles were very specifically forbidden to bring along, but though my Grandma's bags were searched several times it was as if the person had either ignored the contraband Bible or that somehow Our Lord didn't let them see it, though Grandma thought the former.

    But the latter became increasingly clear. The Soviet soldiers, then commissars, then innumerable searches by the prison guards at the work camps, several a day over the course of many *years*, she and also the children *knew* a real miracle was taking place!! These guards who had no compunctions about beating the entire family, even my dad who was a toddler at first and raping my grandma and aunties in front if yhe two little boys regularly also over the course of many years, were not the type to turn a blind eye to anything, especially anything even remotely religious. And this was no miniature Bible, it was the size of a larged regular book and in no way hidden, there was no place for it except in plainest sight.

    My auntie said hearing the Word of God sustained them in hope that many other prisoners lacked, often running for the fence just to be machine-gunned down intentionally when the constantly beatings and raping got too much for some to bear (and for the grown men, being tortured, out-of-hand, random serious Medieval-style torture, and frequent summary-execution not for flimsy reasons, but no reasons at all, especially for the Polish priests.

  98. Cont... My uncle said over 600 priests were shot in front of the gathered prisoners in a single day out of nowhere because, through the prison grapevine, they heard apparently Stalin or Beria on a whim ordered it as he thought the total priests killed per month looked too low to him... and this 600 was at a single Gulag! I can't even how many Polish priests it total were murdered that month by the NKVD soevial troops brought in to do their filthy work.

    This Bible stayed with my family through their escaping the camp, in disguise to and in Hungary (on a long-distance cattle train which gave them milk to survive in, a bullied Mongolian guard that was the only sympathetic one out of the lot snuck them aboard, almost another miracle in itself, and that they neveer died of hunger or diseases that ravaged the camps periodically like typhus and dysentery... through their escape to Austria, through processing by the Int'l Red Cross, all the way to Canada and my grandma's entire life here. The Bible was buried with her earthly vessel in 1987 in Wolseley, SK, a little town on the Prairies.

    So miracles still hapoen to the mist ordinary of people, even one's own immediate family members sometimes. When His will seemed absolutely absent He gave my family a miraculous sign that was always with them physically.

    My auntie didn't tell me the full story of this until a few months ago, though I'd picked up some bits and pieces even as a kid. With my increasing temptation to despair at the state of the world she couldn't have told me at a better time though she didn't know that at all.

    I hope this may help someone whose faith is being tested, though i think God mainly works through our hands, He is always in control, and still does reach down into our lives in very metaphysical ways still, and I really believe these miracles can personally affect entire nations, and even the entire world as when Our Lady's hand stayed His divine justice in averting nuclear war in 1984 that we richly deserved based on thed modern slaughter of the innocents as JMC so aptly put it.

  99. Afternoon Emmett,
    Now i have returned from my self imposed exile can i just say how sorry i am to have read of your recent troubles.Unfortunately financially i am unable to contribute as i would like,ironically due to a diabolical assault im only recently attempting to drag my own personal life back to some sort of normality but rest assured of my prayers at least until such times as i can wing a few quid your direction!
    I was just wondering if you are feeling as ashamed,betrayed and as angry at the majority of irish people as i am? I have long known Ireland was on the slippery slope to apostasy but im still in deep shock that our countrymen and women voted for the holocaust of the unborn to ravage what was once a holy and pious land? I'm devastated and can honestly say i don't feel irish anymore,which as you well know is a heartbreaker for a murph man :( can you shed some light on the prophecy of the light in the north? Is it possible that northern ireland will save the rest of the island? I'm clutching at any straws i can!! God bless Donegal and the heroic 33%!

  100. Hi everyone, I though you guys might find this strange confluence of facts pretty interesting. This morning, a story showed up on my FB newsfeed about a weeping statue of Our Lady of Guadalupe in New Mexico. Obviously, lots of people associated the timing of this with the vote in Ireland.

    https://churchpop.com/2018/05/24/miracle-statue-of-our-lady-of-guadalupe-is-crying-tears-in-new-mexico-see-the-video/

    Then I started bouncing around google and came across this roadside attraction. The WORLD’s largest statue of Our Lady of Guadalupe is located on Ireland Rd. in Windsor, Ohio. Turns out this location is also almost right smack dab in the middle of the path of totality of the next American solar eclipse in 2024. Weird!

  102. Jason: Besides the "O, my Jesus, forgive our sins," and the one I mentioned in regard to suffering, there were several others taught to the children at Fatima. Here are four of them:

    1. Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, I adore Thee profoundly. I offer Thee the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, present in all the tabernacles of the world, in reparation for all the outrages, blasphemies, and indifferences whereby He is offended. Through the infinite merits of His Most Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of Thee the conversion of all poor sinners.

    2. O my God, I believe in Thee, I adore Thee, I hope in Thee, and I love Thee. I ask pardon for all those who do not believe in Thee, do not adore Thee, do not hope in Thee, and do not love Thee.

    3. Most Holy Trinity, I adore Thee profoundly. My God, my God, I love Thee in the Most Holy Sacrament.

    4. Sweet heart of Mary, be my salvation and that of Russia, Spain, Portugal, Europe, and the whole world. (You can also add your own nation to these.)

  103. Thanks for posting these HMM, I love them all, and that first ones really feels like the same spirit of the Divine Mercy Chaplet... I often just say the mist often repeated prayer of that when I have just a few moments to pray on and off during a busy day... but I'm going to learn that one to say instead as it feels like it encapsulates the whole Chaplet (and the others, too, what a gift right in front of me so to speak that I was too apathetic to think of seeking out. You are like a bit of a messenger for me right now!!

    RC, I'm so glad you are back even though under the saddest circumstances for your country that I grew to live so much vicariously through my wife and the culture she taught the girls and the Irish society here, the ceilis i learned the traditional dances and songs for that i got to play on with a big group of musicians on lots of stages... the Ireland that voted Yes (it should have been a No answer to me, No to the most basic respect for the life if the very most vulnerable that need us to protect not kill, that isn't the Ireland I've griwn to know of and love, and never will be to me. But I've missed your perspective and kindest if hearts... and though it seems we may disagree on a lot with politics and some Church isdues, I still contend that the bigger picture is we agree on 99.99% of the truly important stuff, living the Gospel as best we can by surrendering our will to His, and especially the Golden Rule and Bestitudes I think, we strive to fulfil Our Lord's will and heed Our Lady's solemn advice to the world. Please stay.

    Bridget, that is all super interesting stuff that feels more than coincidence (and this website and the fellowship as well as opening my eyes up more and paying attention with less noise and clutter in my life that I allowed to build up has me thinking mire and more that maybe there's no such thing as a coincidence in a way, it's all part of Our Father's often mysterious to pur human faculties plan.)

  105. Evening Jason,
    How are you my friend? I hope you are as well as can possibly be!
    Feel like I'm mourning at the minute.Incredibly numb that Ireland has done what it has.Never imagined that Ireland would turn on God to such an extent. To see so many wildly celebrating the prospect of slaughtering defenceless children has my blood boiling,the vitriol that has been displayed to both God and the church has been purely demonic. The Irish have been starved,been murdered,enslaved and oppressed,and who sustained the people during the darkest of days? Our Lord and Our Lady,who educated the poor and destitute children of Eire? Fine catholic men like the Christian Brothers and De la Salle brothers,the orphaned and sick were taken in by the church so to see the disgusting ingratitude of the majority of the irish people made me sickened to my core.I've lost my nationality but i shan't grieve for it,my faith sustains me,i have always been Catholic first and irish second.I won't neglect to pray for Ireland but I fear that God's hand will fall particularly hard on Ireland :( a particularly nauseating satanic caveat was that this abomination was delivered in the month dedicated to Our Lady :(

  108. Hawaii could collapse...My first reaction was to dismiss the theory as a panic reaction, but then I think of that that volcano to the east that geologists say could collapse into the ocean at it's next major eruption. The Hawaiian Islands are indeed volcanic; the Island of Hawaii itself sits atop the undersea volcano we know as Kilauea. That volcano has been erupting in a slow, oozing fashion continuously for the past thirty-five years...and how long has it been since Roe vs. Wade? That it's recent explosive eruption coincided roughly with Ireland's referendum is indeed concerning.
    .
    On a different, and definitely more positive note, has anyone seen the article on ChurchPop about how the parishioners of one Polish church greet newly ordained priests? By crowdsurfing them from the sacristy? I've been seeing more and more things like that in the news about that nation since the day the religious and secular authorities acted together to enthrone Christ as King. Certainly there have been a few downside-type reports, but the news coming from that nation has been overwhelmingly positive, and certainly heartening to the rest of us. This was a nation that has been under the Communist yoke for so long that most thought they had forgotten all about their former religious stance. Obviously not so. These are the people who have risked their lives for the sake of others for decades.
    .
    Some historians, particularly military historians, hold that one reason the Russians grabbed onto Communism with both hands - aside from the obvious ones of government and corporate corruption -is that they had been overrun by outsiders so many times in the past that they welcomed anything that would strengthen them against such invasions. To that I reply, look at the history of Poland. That nation has been kicked around like a football by just about every nation in its vicinity for centuries. Only in the twentieth century was it finally able to stand up and become its own independent nation, and then it was overrun again, first by the Nazis, then by the Communists. And yet here they stand, embracing the Christianity that has given the strength to endure. Two different approaches to the same problem...and we can certainly see which one is more joyful. Under Communism, people live in fear of the secret police; under the new light dawning in Poland, people are rejoicing in the midst of their concerns. Right now, they are the light of the world that the rest of us can take hope from.
    .
    Our Lady promised that, once Russia is properly consecrated to her Immaculate Heart, that nation will be miraculously converted...a statement which, in the era in which it was made to the three children, meant only one thing: Conversion to CATHOLICISM. The conversion will be nearly immediate after the Consecration, so that no one will be able to deny that it was CAUSED by the Consecration. It is a miracle intended, according to Heaven Itself, to prove the queenship of Our Lady alongside the kingship of her Divine Son. We have seen inklings of that kind of miraculous intervention three times in history. Portugal's bishops consecrated the nation to the Immaculate Heart before World War II, and they were miraculously preserved from that war. It is a matter of record that no Nazi even managed to enter Portugal, and as a whole never even tried to invade it; it remained more staunchly neutral even than Switzerland. More recently, Lebanon's bishops did the same, and while that nation is still enduring the ravages of the jihad going on all around them, you don't hear anywhere near as much about terrorism there as you do from the rest of the Middle East. Now, we are seeing things along the same lines in Poland. The message is clear, and it's full of hope.

    1. Hi JMC, about the consecration of Russia. It Has already occurred and frankly if you or anyone else believes that it has not been done properly I submit to you that that even if it were redone there would still be people saying that it was not done properly no matter what. Frankly this is a matter of private revelation and not necessary for anyone's salvation so continuing to harp on it will continue to bear no fruit.

      Here is the fruit of the consecration of Russia that has occurred, the swift collapse of the Soviet Union in large part due to the efforts of the Pope that offered the consecration.

      Here's some good news on the Russian front, the Ukrainian Orthodox Church recently petitioned to separate itself from the Patriarchate of the Russian Orthodox Church. The interesting dynamic of this separation, should it occur, is that the Ukrainian Orthodox are intending to reunite with their Ukrainian Greek Catholic brethren under the omophorion of Constantinople.

      This would be a gigantic paradigm shift as it would effectively reverse the effects of the schism in Ukraine and effectively open the door for additional reunification to occur in other national and ethnic Catholic-Orthodox churches. Much in the same way that Poland took a stand against the Soviet Union which lead to the fall of the USSR, Ukraine standing up against the Russian Orthodox Church and their allegiance to Putin and the Russian oligarch ruling class may signal the conversion to the one true Catholic Church among those in the lands of Rus.

  109. I point out that Our Lady said that the Consecration was to be done by the Pope TOGETHER WITH ALL THE BISHOPS OF THE WORLD. Yes, there have been several consecrations of the WORLD since then, but each one was done either by the Pope alone, or perhaps with a few of his Cardinals. As for the collapse of the Soviet Union, that is indeed attributable to the consecration of the world that was done in 1984. After all, that same consecration prevented a war from breaking out over the accidental firing of a missile at the US by Russia. But the consecration to Catholicism is supposed to be immediate and obviously miraculous.
    .
    Private revelation? Not at all. A private revelation is when one person has a vision that tells THAT PERSON to practice a certain devotion, for example. When Our Lord, Our Lady, or a saint says they want the message to be known THROUGHOUT THE WORLD...does that sound private to you? I will acknowledge that it is officially classed as a private revelation. But I believe it was Fiscar Marison, who translated St. Mary of Agreda's "Mystical City of God" from the original Spanish, who said that, while we are not obliged to believe in a private revelation, it would be folly to ignore one that has the Church's approval.
    .
    I went through a period when I had my doubts, as well. Having seen for myself that Pope St. John Paul II's consecration of the world did for us (I was in the military at the time, so I am perhaps better acquainted with the immediate results of that consecration), I believed that it was the requested consecration. However, when I heard a priest say that, while it had been accepted by Heaven, it was not the one requested by Our Lady, I questioned him about it. He advised me to pray the Rosary daily, specifically asking Our Lady for help in understanding the matter; he told me, and I quote, "She will never lead you astray." I now pass that same advice on to you, and everyone else who has doubts.

    1. JMC, thank you for your thoughtful response. I follow the Byzantine Catholic tradition and our view on private revelation is that, upon receiving approved validation by Church authority, that it is certainly worth being aware of but not required for our salvation.

      I myself began developing an interest in Fatima in 2011 and it culminated in a Byzantine Catholic pilgrimage to Fatima last October for the centennial of the last apparition. Unfortunately many Eastern Christians have little to no knowledge or understandingof the importance of Fatima or the other approved Marian apparitions it seems aside from one famous occurrence in Constantinople. For years I only knew about the Latin-Western Catholic perspective on Fatima but I can assure you that after my pilgrimage last October that the message of Fatima has as much to do, if not more to do, with Eastern Christianity as it does with that in the West.

      What I related earlier about the reunion of Catholic and Orthodox churches, I have a strong belief that it is what Our Lady spoke about at Fatima. You speak of widespread instant conversions to the Catholic faith, reverse the 11th century schism and you'll have just that.

      The key here is, just as Our Lady repeatedly emphasized at Fatima, the conversion of Russia. Why? Because the center of the Orthodox Church is in the Patriarchate of the Russian Orthodox Church based in Moscow. I can personally envision the dissolution of the Orthodox Pariarchate much in the same way that the Soviet Union ceased to exist. The problem is that the Russian Orthodox Church
      is beholden to the Putin regime and Russian Oligarch ruling class so to take a stand against the Patriarchate in Moscow you have to be willing to take a stand against all the major power brokers in the Russian sphere of influence.

      The following article puts it in a nutshell:

  110. Kevin, I love going to Ukrainian Catholic Mass where I live (very high concentration of Ukrainian settlement, the Canadian Prairies), I'm German descent myself but from just south if Lemberg/Lviv, and have tons of cousins who are Ukrainian Catholic (so I get lots of perogies, cabblerolls, kubasa, the special desserts only at Christmas and Easter like Kutya, and traditional Ukrainian Dancing at family reunions, real professional Ukrainian Dancing when the Ukrainian National Ballet tours here to close out there shows... I really love Ukrainian culture!), and grew up viewing the Byzantine Rite as as natural as the Latin Rite liturgy.

    I can assure you that Latin Rite Catholics share the exact same views as yours on private vs. public revelation as we both get ur from the same place, the Catechism of the Catholic Church:

    Public revelation is binding on all Christians, but private revelation is binding only on those who receive it. The Catholic Church teaches that public revelation was completed, and therefore was concluded, with the death of the last apostle (Vatican II, Dei Verbum 4), but private revelation has continued.

    "Throughout the ages, there have been so-called ‘private’ revelations, some of which have been recognized by the authority of the Church. They do not belong, however, to the deposit of faith. It is not their role to improve or complete Christ’s definitive revelation, but to help live more fully by it in a certain period of history. Guided by the magisterium of the Church, the sensus fidelium[collective sense of the faithful] knows how to discern and welcome in these revelations whatever constitutes an authentic call of Christ or his saints to the Church. Christian faith cannot accept ‘revelations’ that claim to surpass or correct the revelation of which Christ is the fulfillment, as is the case in certain non-Christian religions and also in certain recent sects which base themselves on such ‘revelations’" (Catechism of the Catholic Church 67).

    ReplyDelete
  111. Okay folks I am very well aware of the dynamics of public versus private revelation, I was Latin Rite prior to transferring to the Byzantine tradition in recent years and I am quite familiar with both sides and how they view things. This is a tangent that has gotten the subject off track.

    Rewinding to my original comment in this thread I my intention was to comment on the private revelation regarding the consecration of Russia and the related conversion of many to the Catholic faith. I think it is best to look at thing in terms of how such a revelation would come to be fulfilled in practical, real world terms. That as well as look at worldly signs of ongoing occurrences that would contribute.

    Perhaps I have spoken to too many people who would read something about widespread conversions occurring in a seemingly miraculous manner and to often the people may not realize that Our Lord tends to set things in motion to achieve His ends but what ends up occurring does so within worldly parameters.

    Unfortunately many people want to believe in some Catholic fantasy about such an occurrence. It is as if millions of Russians will receive a Holy Zapping from on high and instantaneously they will declare allegiance to the Pope of Rome. No, the fastest AND MOST REALISTIC way the mass conversion of Russia will occur is through the reversal of the schism.

    I see too many people who nitpick things like JP2's consecration of Russia yet when I refer them to real world occurrences that may very well be leading up to the fulfillment of the consecration I wonder if they are actually more focused on getting what they want on their terms or actually seeing the fulfillment of what they say they want?

    ReplyDelete
  112. I certainly agree with the "secondary cause" concept; sometimes those causes are so obscure you don't see them except in hindsight. And while MOST of the time things happen through such secondary causes, that does not rule out the occasional miraculous occurrence. Why are we seeking a "miraculous" occurrence...the "Holy Zapping" you refer to? Because Our Lady told us that the whole purpose of the exercise, so to speak, was to show to all that God has chosen to make her the Mediatrix of Grace, to hold up Her Immaculate Heart beside His Sacred Heart.
    .
    I don't think we're getting off-topic here, simply because the "period of peace" is part and parcel of the whole end-times scenario.

  113. Sorry Kevin, I didn't mean to insinuate anything about your knowledge or experience, more just to clarify JMC's previous comment regarding what public revelation actually means.

    RC, my heart goes out to you... even though I live in a Catholic majority country we were unfortunately at the forefront of legalizing and normalizing abortion in our country, and even the world, so much so that now even the right-wing Conservative Party won't touch the issue.

    I know it is scant comfort, but these words came to my mind from one of my favourite poets:

    Into The Twilight
    OUT-WORN heart, in a time out-worn,
    Come clear of the nets of wrong and right;
    Laugh, heart, again in the grey twilight,
    Sigh, heart, again in the dew of the morn.
    Your mother Eire is aways young,
    Dew ever shining and twilight grey;
    Though hope fall from you and love decay,
    Burning in fires of a slanderous tongue.
    Come, heart, where hill is heaped upon hill:
    For there the mystical brotherhood
    Of sun and moon and hollow and wood
    And river and stream work out their will;
    And God stands winding His lonely horn,
    And time and the world are ever in flight;
    And love is less kind than the grey twilight,
    And hope is less dear than the dew of the morn.

  116. Has anyone here ever heard of the SCO (Shanghai Cooperation Organisation)? I've been following it's progress I guess you'd call it casually over the years, but when Pakistan and India joined it very much grabbed my attention. While not a full military alliance like NATO or the defunct Warsaw Pact, seeds such as this are what full alliances grow out of. Iran's number one foreign policy goal after it's destabilization plan of Sunni-led nations and staying sanctions-free ideally is joining the SCO.

    This is just pure speculation with no back-up in any private revelations but it seems to me that this alliance could very well facilitate the alliance between Russia (and possibly China and India, too?) and the Dar-al-Islam that would be needed for a joint Russian-Muslim led countries invasion of the Balkans, Eastern, and Southern Europe foreseen in so many Catholic Saints visions around the Great Monarch and the Angelic Shepherd.

    Just an organization to watch, especially if Trump really intends to leave NATO as a long term goal of his America-Firsters' agenda, which could speed up the SCO's growth exponentially.

    And, yes, RC we must always never lose heart for a moment that when evil seems to not just persist but grow by leaps and bounds in this world that even that fits into Our Lord's greater plan for eternity, which isn't too say we are to be complacent, but stand with courage knowing come what may Yahweh, Our Father, is in firmest control of things. Like the saying says, if we cannot believe in the Sun even when it isn't shining we would never be able to make it through the night. Take heart in this at least good friend.

I believe the conditions were very similar to those under which a Catholic may be permitted to receive the non-Catholic Communion. Emmett, if you have the time, can you perhaps weigh in on this?

    On another subject, has anyone else noticed that the Ring of Fire seems to be waking up? First Hawaii's Mt. Kilauea explosively erupted after quietly oozing for some 35 years; with that still going on, a volcano in Mexico went off. Today I read a headline that a volcano in Japan has erupted explosively. Now I've been seeing a very fine gray dust coating some of our farm equipment over the last few weeks; after seeing the thicker stuff that plagued the entire US when Mt. St. Helens blew in the 1980s, I'm pretty sure this is also volcanic ash...and we live on the East Coast of the US.

A supernova normally takes weeks to go through its cycle of increasing brightness, exploding, then dimming down. The Cow did it in just three days, and was actually several times brighter than the usual supernova when it exploded. Given the times in which we live, is this just another of those anomalies that are so often found in space, or does it possibly have some significance?

    This afternoon mom presented herself as queen and mother of the universe.
    Mom was all dressed in white, even the mantle that wrapped her was white and encrusted with glitter. Mom had a queen crown and under her barefoot feet a carpet of flowers on which she rested her feet. Mother had in her right hand a long crown of the Holy Rosary of light, which came almost down to her feet and in her left hand had the world. Mother's boss was covered by the same mantle that hovered in the wind and wrapped so many of her children.

    Praise Jesus Christ

    " my dear children, thank you very much today, too, to greet me and answer my call.
    My children, even today I am here asking for prayer for my beloved church. Pray children, do not beg to pray, your day is prayer.
    Children Beloved, the church runs serious dangers, the prince of this world is about to make the last of his most vile gestures, he wants to alienate the people of God from truth and faith and wants to meddle in minds for plagiarle and aside."
    At this point I had a vision. I saw the crown of the Madonna rolling down the stairs and with it also fell Pope Francis, it was like pushed behind. The ladder filled with blood and everything went dark. Outside of the dome there were large black birds that were down against the glass of st. Peter's.
    Then mom started talking again.
    " sons beloved, his project is about to be implemented, but you do not fear. Pray with the tight crown between your hands and kneel before the tabernacle, there Jesus my son is alive and true, that's where Jesus donates the sigh thank you, that's where Jesus awaits you.
    My children, the church needs worshipers who can be silent in front of God's face.
    My children, hard times await you, but I taught you to pray, to fasting and to give up. Learn to be humble and small before God. Learn from me, humble handmaiden of the Lord.
    Say your yes, but say it with your heart, the true Christian must speak with gestures and with works, do not need words.
    My children, today I give you many thanks and bless in particular my beloved children, here gathered to greet and honor me."
    Finally, mom blessed everyone. In the name of the father, the son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

  131. I followed one of Chris' links to a talk by the late Father Gruner. That talk was bad enough; the string at YouTube also included talks by Father Isaac Mary Relyea and a few other people from the Fatima Apostolate, and they all said pretty much the same thing: Pope Francis is a stumbling-block. Fr. Relyea cited some quotes from St. Robert Bellarmine, a Doctor of the Church who is particularly known for defending the primacy of the pope. Bellarmine advises that, when a pope espouses immoral behavior, we must resist him. Deposing him isn't even on the table, but we still must resist his erroneous opinions. AL isn't even the only time he's done this; it's only the most egregious. There's a story out there that a little girl once questioned him about a friend who kept asking her to do something she knew was wrong; he told her that, in charity, she MUST NOT CORRECT HER FRIEND!!!! Even more shocking was a letter that the Pope Francis sent to clergy in South America in the wake of AL, telling them that they MUST NOT USE DOCTRINE OR DOGMA in dealing with the divorced and "remarried."
    .
    This is no longer about whether the Pope is a heretic or about whether he should be deposed. That is not our concern; our concern is to resist him, to his face if necessary. AL is not an infallible document; it cannot be considered "magisterial," because the simple truth is, when a law is given by Christ Himself, even the Pope does not have the authority to change it. This Pope is on record as having discounted what Christ said in the Gospel about divorce.
    .
    All of this refers to Our Lady's statement above about Pope Francis. She is warning us that the devil is about to make his final move. This Pope consecrated his pontificate to the Immaculate Heart, but he seems to be betraying Our Lady at every turn. Our Lady's imagery here seems to suggest that he has tossed the crown of Our Lady aside (down the stairs), and he will fall after it. The phrase she used called to mind the phrase "fall of man," and I find that terrifying.
    .
    We must pray our Rosaries daily. If we are given the time, we must make the Five First Saturdays. To this, I add the advice given to St. Faustina, described in her diary: Make a novena for the Pope, a novena consisting of the Litany of the Saints. Our Holy Father is in grave danger, and with him millions of souls. He needs our prayers!

  132. Could the latest message have anything to do with the upcoming World Meeting of Families in August? Pope Francis is scheduled to visit the Knock Shrine on August 26th. The messages of Our Lady of Zaro weren’t really on anyone’s radar until the earthquake struck Ishia last year on the feast of Our Lady of Knock. ??? Could there be a connection? Especially since the Knock apparition features the Holy Family?

    If it was morally wrong, not even an emergency can excuse it. But if it is permissible depending on circumstance, the Church has the authority to bind or loose when the circumstances apply, because it is not a moral evil. Why not condemn popes who have permitted this concession?

    Coast to Coast AM March 17, 2018. Paul Stark, director of The Vatican Deception, and Joanna Swords of the Fatima Center joined Richard Syrett to discuss the key questions that have remained unanswered regarding the mysterious Third Secret of Fatima. Swords said that "Fatima stands alone" in its uniqueness as a vision of the Virgin Mary because the revelations revealed during the miracle had far-reaching implications. Stark said that the time of the Fatima event was important because there was a movement of secularization in Portugal at the time, and WWI was just beginning.

  136. If the Medjugorje visions are not from heaven, can their 'secrets' be for real?

  137. Their secrets can indeed be real, for the simple reason that the devil likes to use real truths to mislead us, through the subtle twisting and warping of those truths. That's if those alleged visions are indeed diabolical, as some have posited in the past. On the other hand, if they're merely "not supernatural," that is, products of the alleged seers' imaginations, then they may be nothing more than accurate extrapolations of observed trends. Yes, even children can be capable of such extrapolations; I knew several, back in the 1960s, who accurately predicted where the hippie movement and the Sexual Revolution would lead us, all before their respective 12th birthdays.

  144. Sadly, I could not listen to the interview with Fr. Paul Kramer; I'm hard of hearing, and the sound quality of that vid was...well, I could barely make out one word in ten, and that was with earphones. But what I did manage to hear was indeed life-changing. It certainly did direct the intention of my prayers for the Pope that day...both of them, if, in fact, we are in the "two pope" situation of prophecy. Right now, only God and the parties directly involved know for certain, but it is possible to pray in the conditional mode, after all. ;D

  145. I listened to the Fr. Kramer interview, but what I wonder is why EWTN doesn't seem to be on board with Fr. Kramer's views?

    ReplyDelete
  146. EWTN is not on board because the Modernists took over once Mother Angelica left - or did they drive her out? I seem to remember she'd left because of some kind of scandal...

    On another topic, Chris, I grew up listening to Ven. Fulton Sheen's broadcasts, on the radio when I was very small, and on TV later. For all that he was speaking on an adult level, he was also very understandable to small children. I used to love listening to him.
    .
    They showed us the Fatima movie when I was in school; I think I was in the fifth or sixth grade. It's the only time I ever saw it. I cried when I saw it then, and I cried again seeing the clip on that link. When I saw it in school, I recall asking myself (I was 10 or 11 at the time) why people had to be so stupid. A full one-third of the entire world's population of Jews was wiped out by Hitler, and it DIDN'T HAVE TO HAPPEN. Every nation in the world today is Communist to one degree or another (I think many people have forgotten that Socialism is only the first stage of Communism), and it DIDN'T HAVE TO HAPPEN. Hundreds of Christians are being wiped out daily in the Middle East, and that didn't have to happen, either. The first time I saw the movie, I couldn't tell you why I was crying. Mostly because it was so deeply moving to think that God and Our Lady were essentially bending over backwards to give us another chance. Today I cried because people in general are, as I put it when I was 11, still being stupid. Man's foolishness is worse now than it has ever been before. We have come to the point where it's going to take the miracle of Russia's conversion to open our eyes. World War III, as things stand now, is almost inevitable. When that conversion happens, everyone is going to realize that all the suffering we had to endure didn't have to happen, and THEN penance is going to be done. Souls will be saved, but it will be too late for the souls that will be lost in that war. And that doesn't have to happen, either. O foolish men, when will you be wise?

  148. I don't know what to make of these particular priests. Kramer, Martin, and the lot. I can say this with certainty.

    Malachai Martin is not a terribly reliable source. I looked into his work rather extensively at one point. I am absolutely unwilling to say that he's completely wrong, but he did say some things with certainty that were certainly incorrect.

    But with everything Martin has said, there's one thing to determine whether he was a fraud or not with absolute certainty. In 1999, he gave an interview in which he said - based upon his personal and intimate knowledge of the 3rd Secret - that we didn't have 20 years left before the antichrist would be upon us. So if we get through next year, then we can put Malachi Martin in the same box as Garabandal via Joey Lomangino.

    And no, I wouldn't bet against either side on this question.

  149. We're not going to see the final persecution of the Antichrist anytime soon, since the proclamation of the Gospel to the ends of the earth during the renovatio mundi has to occur yet. This is set in motion by the Two Witnesses and is reversed within a matter of years/decades, when the Antichrist finally does appear and martyrs the very people responsible for the restoration of the Church. So if Martin had locked himself into the idea that the Antichrist would appear by 2019, it would seem that he was deluded in some manner or another. Way too soon for that...

  150. JMC,
    I don't believe the Modernists were able to take over EWTN. Mother Angelica won is my understanding. Fr. Mitch Pacwa, Johnette Benkovic Williams, Dr. Anders, Scott Hahn, Dr. Ray Guarendi to name a few are really solid and they don't totally condemn Vatican II and the Novus Ordo Mass.

    Chris,
    Is it your understanding that Fr. Kramer and the Fatima Center folks are saying that nothing but the Tridentine Latin Mass valid? Would the implication be that all of the consecrations of the hosts at Novus Ordo Masses have been invalid?

    ReplyDelete
  151. "Is it possible it could mean the birth of the antichrist?"

    Well, that depends on how you interpret something else he said.

    In the 1999 interview with Art Bell (yes, it was on the Art Bell radio show), Martin said, "...the antichrist is already afoot." Now, you can read that in a couple of ways. Within the context of the interview, he seemed to say that the antichrist had already been born into the world. But to give Martin the benefit of the doubt, you could read it as the antichrist is already influencing the world in some supernatural way, but is not really physically present in the world.

    The reality is that he said it as if the antichrist was really upon the earth already, but if you prefer to spin it, feel free. Who knows.

    Martin was in the right places at the right times to have access to everything he claimed, and he certainly knew all the major players at Vatican II. So he still hold the potential to be a solid source, but he also hold the potential to be a massive fraud.

  152. "Stupid but genuine question,is there anywhere on this earth that the gospel hasn't been preached already?"

    Not a stupid question in the least. In fact, from an eschatological point of view, it's one of the most important questions around at the moment.

    I remember reading a JPII quote some years ago, where he said point blank that the Gospel had indeed been preached to the entire world. But I have never been able to find the quote again, and I was never able to validate its authenticity.

    1. Evening Mark,are you well? I certainly hope so

      Regarding Malachi Martin, yes he does seem to be quite a controversial character,so many theories,accusations and cults built around him. I have to confess I have read several of his books and enjoyed them immensely, although Hostage to the devil was extremely lurid it seems to suggest that if he had faculties from a bishop to exorcise he must have been in good standing as a priest?.The Jesuits among other of his books reads like he had a mind into future events,and many of his interviews concerning the church have proved weirdly prophetic regarding what has played out,but then again he was an extremely intelligent man who could have been very adept at merely reading the signs of the times so all in all I'm more or less on the fence when it comes to MM,Was it cardinal bea the high ranking prelate he worked for?

      I'm struggling to think of anywhere that wasn't evangelised? Pure speculation on my part, but could it be once the total rejection of the gospel that has already been preached has occured then these chain of events will come to pass? Again given the total rejection of the Kingship of Christ worldwide i'd be amazed if i don't see antichrist in my lifetime!

    Yes, it was Cardinal Bea. Martin was his secretary during Vatican II.

  155. The year 1999 was connected with the birth of the Antichrist in a few places. Most notably in the prophecies of "Brother John of the Cleft Rock" mentioned in Yves Dupont's book. The original source of the prophecies attributed to this figure are completely untraceable however, and must be held with the utmost suspicion. Nostradamus is frequently cited to support this claim. Rudolf Steiner honed in on the year 1998 as the incarnation of the sun demon Sorath, because 666 x 3 = 1998. This logic also seems to have appealed to Fr. Gobbi. W B Yeats' poem "The Second Coming" also appears to allude to the birth of the Antichrist around this time period:

    Surely some revelation is at hand;
    Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
    The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
    When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
    Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
    A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
    A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
    Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
    Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
    The darkness drops again; but now I know
    That twenty centuries of stony sleep
    Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
    And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
    Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

    ReplyDelete
  156. That's not to say I support this claim though! I just find it interesting that so many notable figures converged on the idea that the turn of the 21st century was in some way related to the arrival of the Antichrist.

  158. Thus may be nit-picky, but I've considered a number of tribes/nations (some have their own unique languages and distinct cultures), that though relatively a tiny amount of people, these are still peoples that have zero chance through no fault of their own of ever hearing the Good News, and isn't that what the Commission was meant to be all about?

    It seems a little suspicious the incredible legal penalties the governments who have de jure jurisdiction over these uncontacted tribes impose on anyone even planning attempting contact with them. The penalties are incredibly harsh in most cases... in my experience liberal democratic nations (at least) do not usually put that much effort into helping any group that is such a tiny minority of the population.

    I guess an anthropologist would say and I'd agree that there is something special about any group that has never had real contact with "our" global community and all the runaway sin that goes with it (and I'm including myself in the list of habitual sinners), wondering if maybe these groups are somehow less spoiled (though some common social tensions occur in any type of society) and haven't fallen into our levels of decadence and depravity (those might sound like strong words, but in just a small number of generations in the traditional domains of the former Western Empire/Latin Church a large (and ever-growing) number of people have completely lost the the Gospel including even some religious orders as official teachings. We're a mess!! I still hope and pray that out of Eastern Europe, Africa and parts of Asia will come a new evangelization of Western Europe and the Americas especially, like the evangelization and reevangelizations that happened between Ireland and England (not sure about Wales or Scotland) when Christianity was brand new to both islands.

    The Prophecy of Father Malachi Martin: We Won't Have Long To Wait Now

    Father Martin stated in his last book, "Windswept House", that a black magic ceremony had been performed in Rome and South Carolina simultaneously on June 29, 1963. The notes of interest on South Carolina it being the home of Freemasonry in America, the state of origin for the Civil War, and also has a St. Peters in Columbia. This ceremony was to "enthrone Satan".

    What is of interest here is that Father Martin stated that the enthronement was enabled to occur sometime within 50 years of the ceremony.

    This means that no later than June 29, 2013, Satan is invited to assume the Papal throne.

  164. A lot of interesting points brought up here today.

    Veritas: Thanks for your info on EWTN. I've never actually been able to watch them on TV; when the network first started up in the mid 1980s, I was living in Alabama, but unable to afford cable at the time. By the time I was able to afford it, years later, I had moved to another state, where the network was - and still is - available ONLY in Spanish, which I don't speak. So I really have only hearsay to go on about them.
    .
    Yes, it does indeed sound as if the Fatima Center folks thing the NOM is not valid. One or two of their speakers have actually said so point-blank. It's notable that Fr. Gruner himself never said that. He certainly decried the fact that the NOM is vulnerable to a lot of liturgical abuses, and the Mass is far too close to an Anglican service for comfort; that's why he always strongly encouraged TLM attendance whenever possible. As for the validity of the NOM, I had a brief correspondence with Fr. John O'Connor in the 1990s, during which he told me that the NOM certainly IS valid; one just had to watch out for very specific abuses that would render the Consecration, or even the entire Mass, invalid. Anyone remember the flap about the so-called "cookie priest" in the 1990s? I don't remember his name, but this guy was infamous for using *cookies* instead of bread or the wafers normally used for the Eucharist. That certainly made for an invalid Consecration. Liturgical dancing is something that renders the entire Mass invalid; in fact, the Vatican condemnation of the practice was so strong that the faithful are actually required to get up and leave if they see such a thing occurring, because by staying they incur sin of participating in a sacrilege. There is one exception, and that is the Coptic Catholic churches, because their culture has a strong tradition of sacred dance.

    ReplyDelete
  165. RC: I found "Hostage to the Devil" to be deeply disturbing, because of its very luridness. Every other exorcist, in describing an exorcism, goes into detail, but censors the more lurid and obscene things the devil says. Videos of exorcisms (I've seen one or two on YouTube) usually have large sections "bleeped out" when the devil gets obscene. Fr. Martin, on the other hand, includes everything. I found these things actually starting to corrupt my own thoughts, so I stopped reading fairly early in the book and deleted it from my computer. (I had it as an e-book.)
    .
    While it's entirely possible Fr. Martin was a charlatan, I think it's more likely that he became a bit of a sensationalist. In "Windswept House," he did NOT describe in detail what precisely was done to that poor child who ended up as the sacrifice in the enthronement ceremony. He only made broad references, so vague that I couldn't be certain if he was saying what I thought he was saying. In a later commentary on a tape I still have, he says that that ceremony did indeed happen; I have to wonder how he knew. It's unlikely that one of the participants told him, though I do admit to the remote possibility.
    .
    Emmett: I remember a news broadcast in the late 1990s about a grown man in the Middle East whom many there were proclaiming as the Messiah. I don't remember his name. I do recall being frightened by it, because I had just read one prophecy commentary that had speculated that the prediction of the Man of Iniquity setting himself up in the Tabernacle meant that the Antichrist would be proclaimed as the Messiah. It frightened me to the point that I turned off the TV and went and said what was probably the most fervent Rosary of my entire life to that point. It was at the very end of the news program, where they usually insert the "filler" pieces they need to fill up the last few minutes of the broadcast, and I suspect they only included it because of the prominent belief that the Antichrist would "appear" in 1998 or 1999. At the time, I was in the position of most of the faithful these days: a victim of poor catechesis who was only just discovering how much my own knowledge was lacking, and just starting to take the steps necessary to correct that lack...steps which, by the way, eventually led me here! ;D

    Chris: That was a part of the enthronement I didn't catch when I read "Windswept House." I was under the impression that the enthronement took place immediately. Your statement that Satan was invited to come in no later than June 29, 2013, made me sit up and take notice, especially in light of some of the things Fr. Kramer said about prophecies of a period of "two popes," and the comparisons Our Lady made about certain popes in the Third Secret, comparing one to a serpent, and another to a chameleon; there was even one who was "under the [control or influence, I couldn't make out which word he used] of the devil. My mind made the very leap I'm sure he intended his listeners *would* make, and that was the fact that Francis became Pope in March of 2013. I have to admit I shoved that possibility away; I'm simply not willing to make that sort of an assumption about a sitting Pope. That's where the "conditional" prayer I mentioned in an earlier post comes in. ;D

If we're guaranteed that hell will not prevail against the Church, then how could Satan assume the papal throne at all? I suppose it's all in the semantics of the sentence at that point.

    Putin says: ‘Pope Francis Is Not A Man Of God’ |


    Have you seen any of this reported in our fake news in the usa

  168. I think it's possible Satan could *pretend* to assume the Papal throne; that could occur either in a period between valid popes - after one has died and his successor has not yet been validly elected - or in a "two-pope" situation, where the true pope would be either in exile or in hiding. This is not in contradiction to Our Lord's promise at all, because the promise means that, though it will certainly *look* like Satan has won, that situation will not be permitted to exist for long. We are promised that, when it looks as if all is lost, i.e., that Satan has won, that is when the Triumph will occur. In fact, I believe there is a prophecy about a time when the pope will have to go into hiding. That argues against our current situation being the one of prophecy, simply because we know where Fr. Benedict (as he prefers to be called now) is. We may not even know when that prophecy is fulfilled until after it's done and over with.

    Chris: I just watched that video about Putin saying that Pope Francis is not a man of God. Listen VERY carefully to the narrator; there are a couple of places where it actually sounds more like a computer-generated voice than a real person speaking. I don't know if this actually says anything about the veracity of the report or not, but there you have it.

  169. Chris, JMC - that story about Putin saying that Francis is not a man of God is fake. There are plenty of sources saying it's fake, and not a single source that gives the original quote. Note one.

  177. Pope John Paul II in Veritatis Splendor explains what primacy of conscience is from a perspective of Revelation:

    "Certain currents of modern thought have gone so far as to exalt freedom to such an extent that it becomes an absolute... This is the direction taken by doctrines which have lost the sense of the transcendent or which are explicitly atheist. The individual conscience is accorded the status of a supreme tribunal of moral judgment which hands down categorical and infallible decisions about good and evil... But in this way the inescapable claims of truth disappear."[http://www.catholicworldreport.com/Item/5346/a_malta_laetitia.aspx]

    The dissenter perspective of primacy of conscience is explained by gay activist theologian Matteo Gagliardi:

    "Previous Popes – including John Paul and Benedict – tried to quash
    the views of theologians who didn’t tow the party line and promote the moral supremacy of the Church’s teachings...If Pope Francis is indeed promoting the Catholic teaching of the primacy of conscience... It may show people that it’s OK to be both Catholic and part of, say, the LGBT community – because that is what God is instructing them to do in their hearts... The primacy of conscience is the idea that God’s voice lies in your soul, and it is a sin not to listen to it. It is reconcilable with the notion that the Church is a moral authority, though only if it can be fallible and challenged by human conscience, as Pope Francis himself is showing."

    Prophecies of Our Lady of Good Success About Our Times
    April 19, 2000 | TFP.org

    Prophecies of Our Lady of Good Success About Our TimesDuring the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, Our Lady of Good Success appeared in Quito, Ecuador to a Spanish nun whose little-known but extraordinary life has a direct connection with our days.

    The Pope’s “infallibility will be declared a dogma of Faith by the same Pope chosen to proclaim the dogma of the mystery of my Immaculate Conception. He will be persecuted and imprisoned in the Vatican through the usurpation of the Pontifical States and through the malice, envy, and avarice of an earthly monarch.”

    “Unbridled passions will give way to a total corruption of customs because Satan will reign through the Masonic sects, targeting the children in particular to insure general corruption.

  179. “Unbridled passions will give way to a total corruption of customs because Satan will reign through the Masonic sects, targeting the children in particular to insure general corruption."

    you can see the targeting of children right now, in American/Western school curricula. And as a parent, it's almost impossible to counter.

  180. Mark: Add to that the fact that the Satanists on the West Coast have successfully established after-school Satan clubs in some schools, and you have a truly horrifying picture. The last I heard about it, no one has joined those clubs, but even if no one ever does, the very fact that they exist is chilling. If the school officials are smart, they'll shut them down for lack of activity before people start changing their minds.

    There is no question that there exists today a vast overworld in the Catholic Church, starting at the Vatican, with arms that reach into every diocese in the world. The main function of this overworld is to coverup the scandal-ridden underworld of the homosexual/pederast networks in the Church. The great tragedy is that both the overworld and the underworld are fueled by the long-suffering Catholic laity with the money they toss into the collection basket every week.

  182. Unfortunately, in the absence of a publicized conviction, we have no way of knowing which accusations are true and which are of the "me too" variety. While it is licit to withhold contributions in the face of hard and fast evidence of wrongdoing, doing so on the basis of rumor and speculation is not. There's hard and fast evidence that something is rotten in the Vatican, so it's not wrong to withhold contributions to something like the "Peter's Pence" collection. On the other hand, while we know bishops have covered for pederast priests, I can't be certain the bishop of my diocese is one of them, so it wouldn't be entirely licit to withhold contributions to the diocese on mere suspicion. The sad fact is, many people today don't even know that this proviso exists; they're convinced that it's a sin not to contribute, period.
    .
    I do agree with you that there are indeed those lukewarm ones, who don't care one way or the other; they continue to contribute simply out of habit, or because it's the "done thing..." It's the same phenomenon you see in some places where people go to church simply because it's the "done thing," and it's necessary in order to be respected in society.

  183. It is not unreasonable, however, to target a worthy church charity directly with your giving rather than the usual planned giving in your diocese. For example, the Church in Need organisation supports priests operating in war torn regions of the world in an 'on the ground' funds and resources way and without the vast administrative overheads association with most NGOs and charities.

  184. Likewise, if your parish priest is faithful to the true church, you may choose to support him directly under the guise of Mass offerings for your deceased family and relatives. Also, Mass offerings for those still with us are immeasurably more valuable than after they have passed.

  187. Yeah does anyone have a theory about the lunar eclipse significance? The American solar eclipse was the big news last year, but it seems like North America is the only area that WON’T see the lunar eclipse. Hmmmm. ????

    This afternoon Mum showed up dressed all in white.
    The Mother was wrapped in a large white mantle, thin, like a veil, studded with glitter. Mother had a queen crown on her head and her arms outstretched. In her right hand she had a long white crown of light that almost reached her feet.
    Mama rested her bare feet on the world; on it was the snake, like a dragon that Mama held firm with her right foot. The only thing that could move was the tail that banged loudly. Mum had a beautiful smile, but a tear streaked her face until it fell to the ground.

    Praised be Jesus Christ

    "Dear children, thank you that today you are here in my blessed forest to welcome me and to listen to what I come to give you.
    My children, I love you, I love you immensely and if I am here it is because I want everyone to save you.
    Children, I want every child of mine to know and live the path of salvation. Children, in every message I recommend and pray for you, please listen to me!
    Sons beloved also today I tell you that hard times await you and that I seek help from each one of you. I am here today to ask for prayers for my beloved Church and for all those my beloved children who with their behavior make me suffer so much and draw so many souls away from the truth.
    Children, this is a great battle, every Christian is called to live a great tribulation. Many will lose faith and many will deny God. But whoever perseveres until the end will be saved.
    My children, the Church needs so much prayer and worshipers to help the Lord implement his plans and live in joy and peace.
    My children, now there is no more peace, pray for the unity of families and for their holiness. "
    At a certain point, Mum told me: "look". He stretched out his arm and showed me the square of St. Peter: on the sides there were two rows of priests, there were many, the ranks were very long. The priests who were on the right side held the crown of the holy rosary in their hands, but in the left row there were various orders of priests with various ways of dressing but, instead of having the holy rosary in their hands, they had goblets and bottles , they were like drunks and instead of blessing they cursed.
    "Behold, when my Son comes, what will he find? Do not be unprepared, pray. I love you, I am close to you and I hold you by the hand.
    Pray, pray, pray. "
    Finally, Mother has blessed everyone. In the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

  189. i have many predictions that are associated with a passing comet.. i n that light........


    Naked eye visible comet approaching and visible in December, set to make a spectacular show. Comet 46P/Wirtanen will come close enough to Earth in December to be seen by the naked eye. It will be the 10th closest comet in modern times, according to scientists at the University of Maryland.


    Will it appear to rip the skies even as the Church is ripped by apostasy?
