Moving into our own latter days in every case were Jesus and Mary (as Queen of Prophets) appear to guide men and were the Saints (who always have a Prophetic role if only through their simple lives) Satan appears to quench the flame. But most notably Satan acts most notably through high religious figures and low in the Church itself. Just as he did in the case of Jesus and the Prophets in Scripture. Take for instance the apparitions of the Sacred Heart to St Margaret Mary Alacoque. The saint was dragged from her cell at night time by several of her fellow nuns and giving a very bad beating. In the case of St Bernadette of Lourdes she was persecuted by her Mother Superior and Novice Mistress in the most cruel and brutal way. In the case of Padre Pio the religious authorities both local and from the Vatican itself at the highest levels were pretty well lining up to get a piece of him. In the case of St John Bosco the Archbishop of Turin tired to suppress him. But in the case of pretty well all the saints we find that the highest level of persecution comes , not from non believers the highest and most deadly persecution comes from within the Church itself and very often from Bishops, Cardinals from within the Vatican itself.
Well time for mass. I will write about Modern Modern Marian apparitions and the role of the Vatican later.
A useful article from Catholic Answers: https://www.catholic.com/audio/caf/the-lady-of-all-nations-controversy
The same Tim Staples who told us Pachama was fine, nothing to see here,walk away: https://timstaples.com/2019/pope-francis-commit-a-sin-of-idolatry-with-pachamama/ The same Tim Staples who is one of the World's top Pope Francis explainers. Nothing to see here, walk away: https://timstaples.com/2019/9-reasons-to-calm-down-pope-francis-is-still-catholic/ If the well is poisoned all the water coming from that well will be poisoned too. If someone like Tim told me it was night or day I would be sure to look out the window to check for myself. Zero confidence. Zero. Matthew 7:16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?
As far as Modern Authentic Marian Apparitions ,such as those of Our Lady of All Nations two pieces of Scripture spring to mind: The words of Jesus Himself: Matthew 13:4 As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. In the case of Authentic Marian Apparitions the seed is the Prophetic word of Mary, sent as Queen of Apostles. The birds of the air who eat the seed are those in the Church often very high in Church, servants of Darkness who try to suppress or cover up the truth. ...and in the Book of the Apocalypse we read. Revelation 12:6 The woman fled into the wilderness to a place prepared for her by God, where she might be taken care of for 1,260 days. This represents Our Blessed Mother who flees from the dragon and those to whom she passes the Word who are pursued by Satan and his children in the Church and so are forced to go into the wilderness.
One of the best Modern examples of the False Church trying to suppress the truth at Fatima. The Third Secret of Fatima was supposed to be released on a certain date. It wasn't. When it supposedly was much later many believe it was only partial. The World was supposed to be Consecrated to Russia. Many would argue it never has been, or if it had it was far too late. The Church's usual practice is to leave the Discernment to the local Ordinary, the Bishop of the Diocese were the supposed event occurred. But what we now seeing is that, as in the case of Our Lady of All Nations and Akita the Local Bishop rules favourably. Then a little later the birds of the air from the Vatican and elsewhere swoop down to eat the seeds to destroy things. The highest example of this is the newly created , 'Pontificia Academia Mariana Internationalis', whose entire mission seems to be to supress all Marian Appartions and rule them as false. The black birds eating the seeds on steroids: https://theconversation.com/vatican...-local-catholics-have-always-had-a-say-204611 It's head, Stefano Cecchin OFM has said, “the apparitions which speak of the punishments from God are absolutely false.” So Fatima is false. So La Salette is false. So Garabandal is false So Akita is false. So Kibeho is false. So Medugorje is false. So Our Lady of Good Sucess is false. So Our Lady of All Nations is false. So pretty well any Marian apparition you ever think of is false. https://fsspx.news/en/news-events/news/vatican-disturbing-statements-president-marian-academy-82489 “Does a mother want to punish her children by sending them illnesses, death…? No not at all. So the apparitions that speak of God's punishments are absolutely false.” Stefano Cecchin OFM
So you see the pattern here? The Mother of God plants the seed and the black birds from the Vatican, the False Church, sweep in to gobble them all up. Such in the case with Our Lady of All Nations.
Agreed with Padraig. And regarding: "It's head, Stefano Cecchin OFM has said, “the apparitions which speak of the punishments from God are absolutely false.” So Fatima is false. So La Salette is false. So Garabandal is false So Akita is false. So Kibeho is false. So Medugorje is false. So Our Lady of Good Sucess is false. So Our Lady of All Nations is false. So pretty well any Marian apparition you ever think of is false. https://fsspx.news/en/news-events/news/vatican-disturbing-statements-president-marian-academy-82489 Not only that, if any supernatural revelation that "speaks of punishments from God is false", then even the Gospel is false. But in fact, the only false modernist with modernist teachings or at least modernist leanings is this Stefano Cecchin OFM and others who deny "the punishments from God". God has every right to punish His People as their Sovereign Judge if they fall into wickedness and refuse to repent, as we see in both OT and NT. Smh at this.
If I understand it correctly, as Byron mentioned, Our Lady of All Nations (Amsterdam) was approved by the local Bishop (who has this authority) in 2002. Then, in 2020, under "Pope Francis", this decision was overturned without any new investigation. Is my understanding correct? If so, it speaks volumes about the state of affairs under "Pope Francis". Interestingly, the apparitions at Akita (church-approved and witnessed by thousands) came from a Japanese-styled statue of Our Lady of All Nations. This kind of confirms the Amsterdam apparitions, doesn't it? God bless!
There are a lot of bad dudes/ blackbirds out there ready to steal the precious words that are planted like seeds in our hearts. The biggest and blackest bird of all happens to be sitting on the chair of St Peter. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/...paradigm-shift-in-theology-for-world-of-today Galatians 1:8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse!
Yes, they say: "We are the only ones competent in the whole world on the subject of the figure of Mary.." Our government said: "We are the only ones competent on the subject of vaccines."
Thanks Padraig, I was thinking about this yesterday when you posted about the prophecies of Ida Perdeman in Amsterdam. They are very striking and made me have another look at these events, which I've tended to avoid because of all the confusion about whether they have official approval etc. I also watched some of Dr. Mark Miravalle's videos and found this one from 9 months ago which looks at the latest decision and current position. It answers some questions and helps to clarify things. Maybe these prophecies and events will have to be 'officially' addressed again in light of all that's going on at the moment. Unlikely, I know, but we can hope and pray.
Thank you. Because Our Lady addressed directly the problem of evil in the Church and since that evil is now in control, I doubt we'll hearing anything good from the Vatican about Our Lady of All Nations. The Apostasy of a large number of priests and religious. Prophesied from August 29, 1945 up until January 6, 1980. The dissent regarding celibacy. Prophecies dated: May 31, 1956 and May 31, 1957. The prediction of a one world government "very briefly and powerfully". Prophecy dated: August 15, 1950.
Indeed, there's been a lot of shennanigans going on at the Vatican, now and even before. They tried to obfuscate the Third Secret of Fatima, Cardinal Bertone claimed the Secret had been fulfilled by the attempted murder of Saint Pope JP II; yet, Pope Benedict XVI, contradicted this by saying that it was still in play and he mentioned that the apparition at Akita was a continuation of Fatima. And of course of Our Lady of All Nations, because it was this statue which according to Sister Sasagawa, wept tears of blood. NEW AKITA MESSAGE | Mother of God (motheofgod.com)
Being a Catholic these days is a bit like playing a football game where your team captain, many of the players and supporters are actually playing for the other side.
That puts another slant on things. I was unaware of that. I'll still just eat the popcorn regarding this apparition. Fatima and Akita provide me with enough strong meat.
