“He will be someone VERY HIGH UP, HIGH LIKE A HEAVENLY BODY, not a human star that shines in a human sky, but a heavenly body from a supernatural sphere. Giving into the enemy’s enticement, he will experience pride after humility, atheism after faith, lust after chastity, the craving for gold after evangelical poverty, the thirst for honors after concealment.” “His abjuration shall shake the heavens under a deep shudder of horror and make the pillars of My Church tremble in the dismay brought about by his fall.” Jesus to Maria Valtorta, 1943 (The End Times) It seems to me that this is talking about a Pope. The Church is rapidly heading in this direction. The door has been opened! https://www.advocate.com/religion/2...c-named-cardinal-far-right-catholics-appalled
Ralph Martin in a very recent interview with Fr Mark Goring said we are in the midst of a false church and the true Church side by side. Makes me think of weeds and tares and the words of Bishop Sheen.
Galatians 1:8 No Other Gospel …7which is not even a gospel. Evidently some people are troubling you and trying to distort the gospel of Christ. 8But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be under a curse! 9As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be under a curse!… One thing that really strikes me recently is the immense difficulty many otherwise apparently good and even holy people often seem to have is recognising pure and unadulorated evil when it stares them right in the face. To recognise it, let alone to call it out for what it is when it stares them face to face. So the prseit child abuse child abuse crisis was such a superb example. A priest is accused of child abuse and it is proven to be true. He is brought before his Bishop . Are the police called? No. Are the authorities summoned? No. Are the Faithful warned or notified? No. Does he get thrown out of the Priesthood? No. He gets moved to another Parish or Diocese maybe with a stop off at some kind of, 'Treatment Centre' (whatever they are meant to be...the mind boggles). He is a priest (or Bishop, or Cardinal( who abuses children. Is he considered to be evil? No. He has a problem. Must he be arrested and punished? No. That would be , 'Uncharitable' and a source of 'scandal'. That would not be nice. We're dying as a Church of niceness. The same with Our Present Holy Father the Pope. He is evil. People swoon over and collapse when I write things like this. But he is all out pure evil. That's not a nice thing to write, but there you go. He's evil and the next one heading in our direction looks like he's going to be ten times worse.
I doubt very much he will be Pope. I think Rome will get destroyed in the near future when attacked by Muslim extremists -- The good archbishop doesn't stand a chance -- We are getting really close to major wars and disasters --
This is an excellent point and something I also struggle with. We’re not supposed to talk about the Pope but at the same time what is going on?!? Two weeks ago the pope’s Instagram account “liked” a picture of a “scantily dressed model”. Then there was that NYT op-ed. And Vigano’s latest letter said it’s “a small step to legitimizing pedophilia.”
Sometimes I get this gut check that seems to show me how dire things really are--how close to all the warnings scripture gives us of the man of sin. We don't recognize it because we are always trying to normalize but the apostasy is here. The restrainer is being removed. We have a false church and false teaching surrounds us. We are facing a possible "mark" by way of a hideous vaccine that will be used to control who buys or sells. The abomination of desolation was placed in the see of Peter--the Holy place. If I add it all up it is hard to escape the conclusion that we are very very close. Elijah and Elisha must be just around the corner. If this isn't the scenario Daniel and St John warn of then it is a very good rehearsal. Thoughts?
The Corona vaccine is not the mark of the beast. It cannot be, because we know the mark comes after the Antichrist is manifested and he is still under the restrainer spoken about in Revelations. According to a message Verne was given on 10-17-07 in the book God Speaks Will You Listen www.godspeakswillyoulisten.org the Antichrist is revealed after Pope Benedict dies. His mission is not through till then. I believe he is the restrainer of the Man of Sin.
I agree. It is definitely NOT the mark. It is highly probable though, we will not be able to travel without proof of receiving some version of it, perhaps by end of next year? There are many versions in development. Research Covid vaccine options! From what I hear, that may come in the form of a credit card type digital record.
I believe that the Mark of the beast as a visible sign of a person's apostasy will be a consequence of the Person having already denied Christ before him, certainly the religion of Antichrist will bring many scandalous heresies such as the denial of the divinity and resurrection of Christ, so when accepting the mark that will come in the name of the false religion of Antichrist, no one can claim that he was unaware of the danger this represented for his own salvation
What do we make of the prophecy of Popes from St. Malachy Are we not on the last pope now? Peter the Roman. I kind of think we are on the last line of Popes before we conclude St. John Bosco vision. Francis gets taken down and a new pope emerges and the new era thus new line of Popes. This new era being the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Also could tie into the Great Monarch and Great Pope to come. http://www.todayscatholicworld.com/great-catholic-monarch.htm
Perhaps Pope Francis is the last Pope - validly elected. Perhaps the next Pope will be an anti-pope - not validly elected.
I have to read up, but I believe all will know who has received the mark. Not so with any vaccine (mask or no mask!)
The so called prophesies of St Malachy are very, very problematical. Apparently a pair of young French Jesuits in the 19th Century did a rewrite job on them. They have nothing at all to do with with St Malachy, the patron saint of my Diocese an, he would not only be turning in his grave he would be swirling if he could see them now.
It is fine to surf the Internet but you can't beat reading schorlaly books , doing study and checking out footnotes and resources.
