Well the prophesies about England are pretty definite, that she will come back to the Faith, but after a great period of civil unrest in which she will totally destroy herself. It seems the France will intervene and restore order. The reason England will get the grace to return to the Faith is her ancient devotion to Our Lady , she was once called , 'Our Lady's Dowry'. The reason why she fell was her pride. The reason why she rise again in holiness is that she will be humbled. I think Americans should find this so interesting is that in this as in much else America and England are very close spiritual cousins and so they will, I believe from prayer go along the same future road. America will be destroyed her great Union ended , the Republic overthrown. Not as with England from enemies without but her own children will l tear her asunder. Her sin like England's is the sin of pride. If then Mary, the Mother of God brings healing graces to America as she will to England. America will indeed rise again, but not I believe as the United States, for what God breaks will never be repaired but as groupings of new much smaller disperate States. The most famous prophecy comes from the young martyr saint St Edmund Campion, a most remarkable and wonderful guy indeed. http://catholicgadfly.blogspot.co.uk/p/why-all-catholics-must-return-to.html

Zero Hedge Reads Alt-Market Bearish News Boom Bust Blog Guest Post: In The US, Democracy Is Now A Sham Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/08/2014 17:03 -040 Submitted by 'Ray' via ClubOrlov blog, The founding principle for this new form of government which emerged in the 18th century, was that the Common Man was the ultimate source of power. Citizen legislators would enact the laws and shape the nation’s destiny. But instead, our republic is now strong-armed by professional politicians. The two dominant concerns of these careerists are to STAY in power and to do the bidding of those who ENABLE them to stay in power. Anyone who doubts this statement might try explaining why campaign finance reform and term limits are perennially “off the table.” Actually, that is an understatement - they aren’t even in the building. It is bad enough that the President, Congress and the Courts serve the interests of a minority that is so tiny that it is almost microscopic. What is even worse, is WHO that elite constituency is. It is exclusively THE BIGS: Big banks, Big corporations, Big agriculture, Big energy, Big pharmaceuticals, Big health care, Big high tech and the BIGGEST of them all - the military-industrial complex. The “Vox Populi” – voice of the people is now as quaint and outmoded as telephone booths on street-corners. Even when there is a massive outpouring of disapproval for a policy - such as the enormous public outcry against Iraq Invasion 2 – the will of the people is disregarded. Instead, the “leaders” kiss the sterns of their financial backers. Ten million irate citizens cannot offset a single Halliburton. But not only has genuine democracy vaporized, its putrid carcass is used against the ordinary person for whom it was initially conceived. Our demagogues give stirring speeches applauding our inalienable rights and the freedoms that our constitution protects. But at the same time, they barely whimper when a whistle blower reveals that the surveillance grid that is monitoring our behavior is beyond the wildest imaginings of Orwell or Huxley. And when the head of the Department of Omnipresent Surveillance admits that he lied to Congress, he is not prosecuted for perjury. Amazingly, he doesn’t even lose his job. When the President signs the NDAA act which allows for “indefinite detention” of citizens without formal charges or without the right to a lawyer, it should be utterly clear that the boot of Soft-Core Tyranny is now on our neck. And that unchecked and almost unnoticed power continues to grow at an obscene pace. Examples of this are the militarization of small town police departments, the unending malignant growth of the Department of Homeland Security and the cessation of Posse Comitatus which keeps the military from being used as a domestic police force. But even though our career politicians only represent the rich and the powerful, and even though they abet the steady erosion of our constitutionally ordained rights, it is even worse! That’s because despite making a mockery of democracy at home, they trumpet its virtues abroad. This is shameful Hypocrisy with a capital H. What they are really trying to spread is not Democracy but Predatory Capitalism. They want to expand the sphere of influence of their financial backers who want greater market share in more and more markets. They do this through subtle intrusion via the IMF and the World Bank. Concurrent with this, they embrace the most corrupt and brutal local politicians they can find. The saying “He may be a genocidal dictator, but he’s OUR genocidal dictator” is not a punch-line in a joke. It is standard operating procedure for U.S. foreign policy. If this kinder, gentler approach fails, then the next steps are assassination or invasion. So the spreading of democracy leaves death, mutilation and destruction in its wake. So, in conclusion, it appears to me that America is no longer a world-wide exemplar of how to sculpt a civilized society. Instead, it is far down the road to becoming a full-blown Corporate Police State. It has fallen so tragically, that it is now just a self-deluded leper strutting about the global stage - unaware that the theater has already emptied.

Jesus is NOT Coming BACK – Roman Catholic Leaders SAID by T D • April 25, 2014 • 71 Comments A SPOKESPERSON for the Vatican (Roman Catholic) has officially announced today that the second coming of Jesus, the only son of the God, may not happen now after all, but urged followers to still continue with their faith, regardless of the news. Cardinal Giorgio Salvadore told WWN that this years 1,981st anniversary is to be the Vatican’s last in regards to waiting for the Lord to return to Earth. “We just feel Jesus is not coming back by the looks of it.” he said. “It’s been ages like. He’s probably flat out doing other really good things for people somewhere else.” Nearly two thousand years ago, Jesus promised his disciples that he would come again in chapter John 14:1-3 of the bible: “There are many homes up where my Father lives, and I am going to prepare them for your coming. When everything is ready, then I will come and get you, so that you can always be with Me where I am. If this weren’t so, I would tell you plainly”
This is either a scam story or at best the rambling of of an older retired Italian bishop who is most definitely not an official spokesman for the Church. http://www.modernghana.com/news/537520/1/catholics-rubbish-jesus-story.html
I'll go on being wise and keeping the lantern burning I think. The Bridegroom is on the way. http://catholicism.about.com/od/beliefsteachings/p/Understanding.htm Matthew 25:1-13 25 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: 4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. 7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. 9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. 11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. 13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
Fatima, you're going to have to spill the beans. What blog/news- source were you reading that gave you this story as a link. I googled "WWN cardinal" and got page after page of sites returning the same quoted line. eg Cardinal Giorgio Salvadore told WWN that this years 1,981st anniversary is to be the Vatican’s last in ... but i was none the wiser as to who/what WWN is. A separate search and i believe WWN could stand for Weekly World News. Is that your understanding of what WWN stands for?
Jerry, it was on Raymond de Souza's Facebook. He is world renown for evangelization and apologetics. You can Google him if you have not heard of him.
"Cardinal Giorgio Salvadore" is not even a real Cardinal. Clearly this is a bad joke that has gone viral. http://graphic.com.gh/news/general-...sus-will-not-come-again-catholic-bishops.html
