I thinnk what will hapen is that ,at least in the first place is that miraculous signs will be left in Marian sites thorughout the world. These Signs wil lmake it impossible for people to deny the existence of God. From that point on when people choose evil it will be a much more pure choice of evil. It wil lresmeble the actions of the devils in theGreat Rebellion. More Stanic , more evil for evils sake. This is a harbinger for the coming of the anti Christ. I think you can already see soemthing of this coming in the world already. Some of the abortion laws in the USa for instance. The activites of the Chinese Governmetn towards the Church. The actions of Islamic nuts...and so on. But..and maybe this is my overactive imagination but I think youcan see it soemtimes in people around you. Again maybe this is my imagination but I was talking to someone the other night and I got the impression of a sudden descent of pure evil . I kind of have a feeling this kind of thing will become more generalised; that the sheep will become true sheep and the goats pure evil as time goes past. Another good example, I think is the mass shootings in the USA; I think they are clearly dialbolical..or the bixarre Satanic behaviour of the Drug Cartels in places like Mexico.
Pope St John Paul 2 of course spoke of this manyyears ago: https://www.catholic.org/news/national/story.php?id=57376 "We are now standing in the face of the greatest historical confrontation humanity has ever experienced. I do not think that the wide circle of the American Society, or the whole wide circle of the Christian Community realize this fully. We are now facing the final confrontation between the Church and the anti-church, between the gospel and the anti-gospel, between Christ and the antichrist. The confrontation lies within the plans of Divine Providence. It is, therefore, in God's Plan, and it must be a trial which the Church must take up, and face courageously."
Varadkar is just a self-absorbed puppet, who does exactly what he's told. To me, he is simply an enemy. You describe the sequence of descent very accurately. I would add that they started off by stealing our fish and by making slaves of our farmers via a mass of non-disentangleable regulations.
I used to think that an illumination of conscience would immediately turn a soul to God. How could it not? The majesty of God and the absolute truth of our own sinfulness! But in these last years I see what Fatima means. Because I see it on the abortion issue. We always knew that science would prove the humanity of the unborn child and naive ely thought that would change hearts but no. They double down. "So what if it's a child. I still have the right to kill it." Evil is self justifying madness. Incomprehensible. We must pray for loved ones who have embraced the world. Those prayers will be honored at the crucial moment. This I completely believe.
I believe this is why most of those who find God after the warning, will be those who have never heard of our God in the ways that the baptized have. Most of the baptized were taught beyond the minor teachings of the faith and have already said, "I want what the world offers". Now true, there will be fallen baptized now who will, like most of us at one time, come to find our faith that the world sucked away from us, but prophecy has it that most will continue to serve the beast and what he offers during the most horrific times the world will have ever seen. This, great saints have all known it to be, starting with our Blessed Mother, the daily rosary is the key for conversion of loved ones. They have stated it over and over again over the centuries. The chain of the rosary, said in faith, is what will bind the beast into hell forever.
This quote is no small thing.... PJPII made a bold prediction.... I believe we are there. The evil in our world is one big indication...but the evil within our church....well, that’s a whole new level of evil. He speaks of the anti -church...We are there imho. God protect our faith!
I hope you are wrong...I pray that my loved ones will see the light of Christ in this merciful warning.
Oh I hope they see the warning as coming from God...how could anyone, unless totally evil, not change.... I too believe that by virtue of our constant prayers that they will be saved...even at the last moment.
I think the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology or some national medical organization of neonatologists should sue the NYT and ABC. By presenting their statements as truth (which they do by virtue of their standing the the community) they are misrepresenting facts and thus making their jobs more difficult by misleading their patients.
I think I mentioned this a couple of years ago. Back when I was young and dinosaurs ruled the earth, one of the networks would have something on their Saturday morning cartoons called "Schoolhouse Rock" -- little catchy tunes that taught basics in math, geography, grammar, and civics. One of those songs was "I'm Just A Bill, on Capitol Hill" that covered the process of a bill becoming law from being introduced into Congress to being signed into law by the President. One Friday night, having more time than sense, I checked into Wikipedia to see what was involved for the European Parliament pass a law for the European Union. I could NOT believe it. There simply is no way to summarize the process of passing a law without using a flow chart and a 20-sided die. (For the uninitiated, you use a 20-sided die in Dungeons and Dragons or any other number of role-playing games to roll to get a number up to 20 to determine an outcome where there's a one-in-twenty chance of something happening. IOW, a totally random event.) There WERE, on the other hand, innumerable lines and squiggles detailing how appointed (i.e., un-elected) committees propose and pass regulations that have the same effect as EU laws. I believe, to my shame, that they copied this from the American model. Now, the big difference, from what I can tell, is that the people in America affected by these regulations can file lawsuits against the regulations for any number of reasons, usually because they pose an unreasonable hardship or (more frequently) the agency overstepped its authority in issuing the regulation. The one that comes to mind is where a couple built an addition onto their home on their property in the country, where the federal agency informed them after the fact that they would have to tear down the addition and restore everything to the way it was before because it threatened a pond that was also on their property, and BTW, here's the bill for your fine and legal costs. The agency claimed this authority because the law known as the Clean Water Act of 1972, as amended. The Act gave the agency authority over ALL "navigable waters" in the USA. Their reasoning: "Can you and do you put a boat in the pond to go fishing?" "Yes." "Then it's navigable". They also attempted to claim authority over the creek that lead out of the pond because at certain times of the year or after strong storms, the creek level grew from being a little over ankle deep most of the year to being hip deep at these times, i.e., navigable. Now, took several years and many, MANY hours in court (at several points, the courts had to order "stays of execution" to keep the agency from just rolling its own equipment onto their land to tear down the addition and then bill the couple for the work) before the court found that the agency did overstep its boundaries and was unreasonable in its definition of "navigable" -- the agency was attempting to put this occasionally-fast-running creek in the same category as the Mississippi River. The outcomes would have affected people WAY beyond what they tried to do to this couple: had the agency been successful, the agency could have claimed authority over any and all swales or farm ponds regardless of whether or not they were on private property. The agency could have prohibited hunting withing a specified distance of any such "navigable waters", for example, to prevent the entrails, etc. from polluting that waterway. For that reason, the couple got a lot of financial support and pro bono legal work from a number of organizations. There was no way the couple could have afforded to fight the agency on its own, which is probably one reason why the agency chose that particular couple for their case. The stated reason for the rule was designed to prevent environmental damage, since any environmental damage on private lands would eventually affect the public lands. Please correct me if I"m wrong, but are EU rules designed to keep people from challenging any such EU regulations, or require the regulations be challenged by courts designed to show favor towards the EU or against the citizens?
I'm not certain where to post the following but I am certain that it should be posted on the forum because it is the story of a miracle. May. 30, 2019 ‘Tiny But Mighty’ Saybie, World’s Smallest Baby, Goes Home Known as a micro-preemie, born at 23 weeks and 3 days, the baby was given only one hour to survive. Alyssa Murphy | http://www.ncregister.com/blog/alyssamurphy/tiny-but-mighty-baby-saybie-survives While the nation has become a battleground on the issue of abortion with states like Missouri, Alabama, and now Louisiana standing to protect babies in the womb — and on the other side — Illinois now passing legislation darker than the new abortion-on-demand laws in New York, we now can open our eyes to the miracle of life, witnessing one baby’s struggle for survival outside the womb this week. An expectant mother [who wishes to remain anonymous] entered into a San Diego hospital feeling “uncomfortable” and having pains. In a video released by Sharp Mary Birch Hospital, the mother said it was the “scariest day of my life.” “I kept telling them: ‘She’s not going to survive. She’s – I’m only 23 weeks [pregnant]’.” The mother was diagnosed with pre-eclampsia, a complication some women experience in pregnancy involving high blood pressure, which can prove fatal for both mother and child. In the video, the mother says, “My blood pressure was over 200.” She was told by the doctors that the baby had to be born immediately to give her a fighting chance. Saybie’s mother had an emergency C-section three months ahead of her due date. Saybie’s birth was so premature, she fell under the category of “micro-preemie” — a baby born before 28 weeks’ gestation. When Saybie was born in December 2018, she could fit into the palm of the doctor’s hand. Weighing the same as a large apple at just 8.6 ounces, she is believed to be the smallest premature birth on record to survive. Saybie’s dad was told he would have an hour with the baby “before she passed away” but “that hour turned into two hours, which turned into a day, which turned into a week...” Sharp May Birch Hospital’s Neo-Natal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) Registered Nurse Emma Wiest had heard about Baby Saybie as rumors of a ‘miracle baby’ quickly spread down the hospital corridor. “It sounded unbelievable, because I mean, she’s about half the weight of a normal 23-weeker.” Wiest had to investigate and couldn’t believe her eyes. “You could hardly see her in the bed, she was so tiny.” Her mother is so grateful for the love and support she received from Saybie’s primary care team. She was moved to tears walking in each day to visit her daughter, seeing signs that staff members wrote with monumental accomplishments the baby was making each day: “No More Feeding Tube,” “I’m 3 Pounds!,” and “Tiny but Mighty.” Teeny-tiny Baby Saybie defied all odds and graduated from the NICU. She is now home weighing 5 pounds after 5 months in the hospital. Saybie captivated the hearts and minds of not only her parents but the entire medical team. Members of the staff couldn’t stop thinking about her, wondering how she was doing each day. Registered nurse Spring Birches said, “We do everything we can for each preemie, as well as we can, and after that, it’s really up to our babies,” adding, “Some really have the strength to go through it all and survive outside the womb.” Baby Saybie is doing just that, fighting for her own life, and entering a world where many think being born is a choice at 23 weeks, not to mention, nearing a full 40. As I carry a child in my womb just 26 weeks old, feeling her kick and somersault around as space is getting cramped down there, I’m moved to tears thinking of this young baby with such an amazing story and life ahead. Here’s to hoping Saybie's story will enter into the national conversation about abortion because we all deserve a right to life, even with the odds stacked against us.
Europeans do not have the republican traditions of freedom and independence that are taken for granted by the citizens of the United States and usually are more passive in the face of tyrannical over-regulation. However, the Italians and the French Yellow-vests might be signs that something is astir.
Interesting to note that last year Cardinal Parolin the Vatican Sec of State was invited and attended the meeting and was reported to have given a talk and this year there was no Vatican representative nor has there ever been in the years past that is freely available information. It was reported that the group was very insistent on his attending and yet he was only there for a little under 2 hours. On the topics for discussion last year was the "post truth world". Gee, I wonder what they were trying to convey with that.
