Ratzinger, Tyconius, and Fatima: An Interpretive Key for the End Times

Thanks!

 

Concerning my critiquing of the Holy Father, there are times when I've stepped over my own line of self-restraint and not expressed my thoughts in a charitable manner. I will post the following article that first appeared on MOG (not submitted by myself) in 2019. This article clearly expresses for me the mindset behind Pope Francis' not infrequent irking statements. My job is not to agree with him always, but to love him always.

Everyday during our Rosary, Geralyn and I pray for the Holy Father and we lovingly will continue.

O Mary conceived without sin, pray for Pope Francis whom you love as a true Mother should!

 

Thank you andree, such an extraordinary video. Such a blessing to listen to Fr. Blount.

 

Mario, Yes I do the same, pray for the pope, the holy father, each day in a rosary and I let God workout exactly who that is. It’s above my pay scale to do otherwise.

I try not to be too tough on Pope Francis but at the same time I share news about him with all of you. There are a lot of things that I question but that is usually all. God will work things out in his own time, my job is to keep praying.

 

Praying for the Pope is essential. I was with a Franciscan priest this weekend who was convinced Pope Francis was going to go against the German synod. But I have listened to Pope Francis, and then watched what he does. So, we shall see. I believe Fr Blount is praying hard for this Pope’s soul, as we all should be. But commenting on the path our Church is going is not evil. It benefits us all to prepare for what may be coming.

 

Sorry HeavenlyHosts, I don't agree with you. Instead, I have to agree with Padraig in the following post from a few days ago:

Saturday at 7:00 AM

We must recognize the Truth and stand up for Jesus and His unchangeable teachings at all times. We must always love Jesus above all things. No human being, no matter what his presumed title, should be allowed to contradict the teachings of Our Lord and His One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church.

 

Well, of course.

 

In the video Father mentions a devotion to the precious blood that came out of a revelation/apparition in Nigeria - he says a special prayer 1000 times each day - a precious blood chaplet -

Most Precious Blood of Jesus Christ, save us and the whole world.

Information below in the link - looks good to me -- because when I pray the 5th sorrowful mystery I have added a wee prayer I made up - Dear Lord, let not your precious blood be spilled in vain but protect and bless (person/town/city) through your precious blood.

Has anyone on the forum come across Barnabas Nwoye before and the chaplet?

We can always do this without criticizing the Pope.
edit
God allows free will to all, including the Pope.

 

Do you mean like St. Paul who "criticized" St. Peter in Galatians, chapter 2?

[11] But when Cephas was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed. [12] For before that some came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them who were of the circumcision. [13] And to his dissimulation the rest of the Jews consented, so that Barnabas also was led by them into that dissimulation. [14] But when I saw that they walked not uprightly unto the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas before them all: If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of the Gentiles, and not as the Jews do, how dost thou compel the Gentiles to live as do the Jews? [15] We by nature are Jews, and not of the Gentiles sinners.

[11] "I withstood": The fault that is here noted in the conduct of St. Peter, was only a certain imprudence, in withdrawing himself from the table of the Gentiles, for fear of giving offence to the Jewish converts; but this, in such circumstances, when his so doing might be of ill consequence to the Gentiles, who might be induced thereby to think themselves obliged to conform to the Jewish way of living, to the prejudice of their Christian liberty. Neither was St. Paul's reprehending him any argument against his supremacy; for in such cases an inferior may, and sometimes ought, with respect, to admonish his superior.
​

Tough words. St. Paul said that St. Peter, the first Pope, "was to be blamed." Are you saying, HeavenlyHosts, that St. Paul should have kept his mouth shut?

 

These men were members of the hierarchy.

 

HeavenlyHosts, are you not familiar with Canon 212 (https://www.vatican.va/archive/cod-iuris-canonici/eng/documents/cic_lib2-cann208-329_en.html)?

Can. 212 §1. Conscious of their own responsibility, the Christian faithful are bound to follow with Christian obedience those things which the sacred pastors, inasmuch as they represent Christ, declare as teachers of the faith or establish as rulers of the Church.

§2. The Christian faithful are free to make known to the pastors of the Church their needs, especially spiritual ones, and their desires.

§3. According to the knowledge, competence, and prestige which they possess, they have the right and even at times the duty to manifest to the sacred pastors their opinion on matters which pertain to the good of the Church and to make their opinion known to the rest of the Christian faithful, without prejudice to the integrity of faith and morals, with reverence toward their pastors, and attentive to common advantage and the dignity of persons.
​

Now, HeavenlyHosts are you saying that only "members of the hierarchy" can correct and admonish the hierarchy (including the occupier of the Roman See) for any errors or faults in their teaching. To say such a thing is contrary to Canon 212, as I interpret it. Please explain your position, HeavenlyHosts.

​

 

PNF, when I am on the forum I try to share my experience, strength and hope with other fellow members. I hope my posts have edified and helped you. God bless you always.

 

Contentiousness is unnecessary here. Can we give this a rest please. We are all well aware that the Vatican hierarchy including the Pope are often problematic.

 

I have, and I prayed it for a few days before discovering only an official prayer book has a bishops approval.

I think he might be a genuine seer. The microchip is the mark of the beast.

If you can find a prayer book that is approved and not copyrighted please share.

 

Yes! Fr Blount in his homilies on you tube talks about this young man who I believe is now studying for the priesthood. His prayer book on the devotion to the Precious Blood was given to him by Our Lady and Our Lord. Some years ago when I was at my hour of adoration an elderly gentleman was always there praying from that book. He told me about it. This is an extremely powerful and fruitful devotion. If anyone can't pray the simple prayer 500 times then do it as much as you can.("Precious Blood of Jesus Christ save us and the whole world.")
I like so much the wee prayer you say in the sorrowful mysteries. I am going to start doing that too!
This prayer has the imprimature.

 

I have an official French translation of the English prayer book called Devotion to the Most Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

I didn't look at the link you gave Garabandal, but I will share what I was told years ago, which is it's important to find a source affiliated with the apostolate and be wary of various websites that distribute prayers because many false sites arose after this apparition with modified prayers. The book has an imprimatur and the rights for publishing all the devotional prayers are with Queenship Publishing on this website. I can't find the book in English but people interested can write to ask. I see they have prayer cards here: http://www.queenship.org/product/Devotion_Precious_Blood_Prayer_13041a.html

The seer's name is Barnabas and he was given prophetic visions and messages concerning the end times. He received many powerful prayers of protection, consecration, reparation and many deliverance prayers to break ancestral curses which is much needed in Africa I think (hence the many false prayers that sprung up). Precious Blood apostolates were created as a result in Nigeria and elsewhere.

I'm glad Fr Blount mentioned that simple prayer, because I'm ashamed to say that I had forgotten about it!

 

It’s the time of purification as Padraig mentioned. We can be critical of the sins, not the sinner. Pope Francis is the Pope for a reason. Our decaying world deserves him. One can still be critical towards his confusion, but still support his papacy.

 

Me, around 2014. Did some investigating about him then and found this website which tells about what he has been teaching his followers. After that, he was history for me.

I just checked this. I agree with Catholic Planet that we are at the end of an era and not the final end of the world. Thanks. The issue about the seal is very troublesome, that no one can be saved from the Antichrist without it.
There are other troubling teachings associated with this man which can be discovered at Jason’s posted link.
