Countdown to the Kingdom

Introduction (By a soul):
I, “a soul,” was sent the below Facebook post by two friends of this blog, MaryRefugeOfHolyLove, and I have decided to post it to this blog, so it can reach a greater audience. Father Michel Rodrigue is a very holy French priest from Quebec, Canada, and is very good friends with Prophet John Leary (http://www.johnleary.com). In fact, Father Michel and John have often preached together for a number of years at the Gospa House in Southern California, along with other visionaries and chosen messengers of heavenly messages.

So it was not just the one time of September 21, 22, 2019

Someone on this forum posted a schedule of retreats by the two men and I can't locate it now. But I would say there were at least 10.

Carol55 did the research, Heavenly Hosts, but I can't remember the thread.

 

To me, Father Michel is/was THE reason to visit the countdown site. His prophecies were (for the most part) specific, simple, and clear. He gave definitive dates and instructions. It’s starting this fall! You must prepare now and here are step by step instructions!


Then, the “clarification” posts start. For example, Father Michel didn’t say “we have 20 minutes to get to a refuge” he said the heart of Jesus is our refuge. Ok, except he literally said we will go to physical refuges and that we will only have about 20 minutes to get ready.


Then we find out he doesn’t have his bishops approval. And that his fraternity for priests was actually a lay association. And then Dr Miravalle and Fr Ianuzzi lay the theological smack down. Then Bishop Lemay AND Bishop Bourgon come out and disavow him!


Certain contributors start to distance themselves. In a matter of months contributor Daniel went from calling Father M “authentic but not infallible” to “take him serious but not assume his prophecies are authentic.”


And what are the responses on the website?


“He’s not condemned.”


“The times are serious, and to fight against this prophecy, I feel, is to damage God’s plans and hurt the people of God.”


“I don’t know where the discrepancy is between what the bishops said and what Father Michel said.”



However, the contributors were able to go out of their way to get Father Michel to sign a document distancing him from John Leary to include on the website. Why couldn’t they verify literally anything else?



All this to say that I believe the website does, in fact, rise or fall on Father Michel’s specific prophecies and timeline. And that is why they won’t risk trying to verify any of what Father said lest they lose their audience.

 

The affidavit that Fr M signed was signed in 2018 in the Fall, saying he does not believe in John Leary. Then Fr M proceeded to do retreats with John Leary in 2019.

 

Yes, you have made a good point.

I also took the time to go on John Leary's site and go through his calendar to see if I could find out where and when Father Michel gave talks with him. I came up with the following which shows that they gave talks together at least from February 2018 through November 2019 in various locations including Puerto Rico, California, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, Texas, Alabama, and Arizona. Father Michel may have another circuit of tours that he does abroad in Europe but I really have no idea only that I believe that he eluded to this per another member on the forum.

Thank you, Booklady.

 

Great find, Heavenly!

The more that comes to light the more disappointed I am with the contributors to the site. They clearly knew of issues early on and don’t seem concerned about the consequences their actions will have on other people. They might be seeing “good fruits” now but what happens in October/November when things don’t shake out the way they expected. People that are all in on Father M are in for big disappointments... spiritual, financial, or otherwise. And will the contributors be bragging about those “fruits” then?

 

Just for the sake of the requested "humility" for "thee but not necessarily for me" as the saying goes.....one might take a word in its correct operation when used rather than projecting some personally desired meaning other than that in which it is used in truth. The first sense in which "collaboration" was used was in relationship to the "pastoral" connection to the people of the parishes to which he was assigned. The other use of "collaboration" was within the "desire" that Fr. Michel mentioned that he has re: working with the bishop since.....he is not under the authority of one or the other bishop currently while remaining a priest in good standing as is his fraternity. That decision wasn't of his making.....it was done by the authorities who left Fr. Michel in his current position. I mean, you can't have it both ways.

He's moving on with the alleged request from God to form this religious fraternity of priests, deacons, consecrated laity formed for these end times. I do believe that people are either confused by the use of the term "lay" or "laity" here when it comes to such recognized religious foundations, or.....they are attempting to imply some negative or lesser quality to such foundations when they are actually the future. Since the remnant Church is now being formed for the New Era of the Holy Spirit, we will see more of those with special missions come to form what is so necessary to serve the faithful as things become more and more confusing, difficult, and chaotic. Meanwhile we watch the institutional church and its authorities clueless about what is taking place all around them today as they leave the sheep in a state of helplessness and w/o guidance and/or explanation since those authorities don't personally accept such events and what comes with them for the purification....while, even worse, they give more credence to the status quo and worldly explanations for sin and the resulting reaction of nature to that sin. Better to believe in "climate change" for everything that is now literally "burning"! Meanwhile the Holy Spirit is renewing the face of the earth and causing man to be "recreated".....and without, it would appear, the Church's most necessary "collaboration"!

 

That's not actually true. Fr. M was invited to the same venues as apparently was John Leary. That was decided by those using that venue and conducting the gathering. It was not Fr. M's. And while he spoke as well to those who attended he has stated that he did not back Leary's ideas and he agreed with the bishop's understanding. But then we do have Christ "appearing" at "venues" w/ others not appreciated by the authorities of His day, condemning Him for such associations. Each "teacher" has influence and that influence isn't meant only for those already true believers. Leary was stated by his bishop as being a good man, a good Catholic, but that his predictions were from his own mind....which actually was pretty obvious. One could read the latest news and come to same predictions....only with Leary that was also twisted into various conspiracies. But then there is a lot of that today that people are effected by in all quarters. Many such conspiracies gathered from the latest "news" with possible "predictions" created from them are even tossed out for discussion on this forum.....can you imagine!!

 

Great points. WTW.

 

The institutional church is our church. It is where we receive the body and blood of Christ. It is where our sins are forgiven. It is where priests that perform exorcisms get their authority from. It is the power of Christ that casts out demons and that authority only comes from the church. It doesn’t matter what the bishops personal beliefs are. He is the one given the authority and charisms by God. The bishops will have to answer to God if they are not acting in good faith. But we will also have to answer to God if we choose to reject His authority because we don’t like the bishop.

 

That assessment is "clericalism"......that the bishop should have no repercussions in this life for leading the faithful to hell. All authority comes from God, not an institution. The "institutional church" is an established public organization and is the one protecting still the likes of McCarrick. We are receiving messages to stay with the "true magisterium". That orders for the sake of salvation that the faithful must be aware of those within the institutional church who teach other than what is mandated for the Body of Christ on earth. And we witness those within the institutional church (created by prelates' "personal opinions") currently responsible for dividing the Body of Christ as we watch those priests teaching the truths of the true magisterium and being reviled and silenced by their bishop. The faithful are not called to obey an institution but the truth of Christ.....there is no authority from the devil and no one is called to obey other than the Truth. This is no less than what Archbishop Vigano has been stating. He differentiates between the institutional church (one created by just such personal opinions and personal desires and designed by the masonry and other types of diabolical intentional twisting of that true magisterium that has infiltrated, serving the Deep State and New World Order) and the Body of Christ on earth as intended from the beginning.

 

Where does the “truth of Christ” come from if not the Catholic Church?

 

Thank you! Clearly stated truth! Simple and direct.

 

Quite close to heresy on its face, ETA. Do not presume to know the "True Magisterium" and feel free to ignore that 'other magisterium.' Or tell other Catholics they are free to ignore it!

This is all way above your pay grade.

Is the "true Magisterium" considered most anything that complies with pre Vat II?

That is my understanding.

 

Situation ethics

 

Vat II had itself to comply with the True Magisterium.....from the beginning, as Christ instituted His Church. It involves of course the dogma and doctrine that cannot be changed. Currently we are witnessing the build up to possibly creating new liturgies that could go outside of that continuing Truth. There are also those who preach outside of the boundaries of what is still to be considered sinful, giving permissions that are simply not allowed, thus leading the "flock" to assume that certain sins are now permitted, etc.

For instance:

A Compilation of Accurate and Readable Summaries of the Magisterium

............

This volume, and the series that will be published, makes no claim to originality; it is rather an accurate and readable summary of official Church teachings. Its compilers have rendered an important service in making these important documents accessible to a wide range of readers. Accurate knowledge of the Faith is so important for anyone who truly wishes to follow Christ and to live as members of His Church. Church teaching opens our mind and heart to Christ and to the plan of redemption which He revealed and accomplished by His birth, His teaching and above all His death and resurrection.

We cannot be content with the view that religion is simply a matter of subjective opinion.

Rather, we need to ensure that our life of faith has strong foundations in the authentic teachings of the Church, in the teaching of the Holy Father and the bishops in communion with him.

The magisterium is truly at the service of the Word of God by ensuring that the teaching of Christ will come to us in all its entirety, without dilution or distortion.

I encourage clergy, religious, teachers and anyone wishing to know their faith more deeply and accurately to read this volume carefully and to refer to it often.
