    I suppose it doesn't really matter but your initial post in this thread does lead to his blog.

    Another point I wanted to make regarding those prophecies is the focus on 2029. Interesting in connection with fatima and the 1929 messge of Jesus to Lucia and its comparison with Louis XIV France 1689

    Prudence And Private Prophecy
    [​IMG]

    I read someone commenting (in an internet forum) that the words of Fr. Oliveira recently presented in this blog are questionable because the angel says: “Evil grows and walks in darkness” (see under The 27 stanzas). That is the beginning of a poem, comparable to “O say, can you see” etc. Often poets prepare the reader by describing the situation before entering the matter of the poem itself. The author of the American National Anthem is not questioning anyone’s eyesight or promoting the use of eyeglasses, he is simply beginning his poem by pointing at something and so does the Angel in Fr. Oliveira’s prophetic poem.

    Evil grows and walks in darkness.
    Few are those who know it,
    Few are the ones who will find out.
    The shadow that walks among you
    It’s called schism, division!


    In Portuguese in the original for those who know Portuguese:

    O mal cresce e caminha na escuridão.
    Poucos são os que o conhecem,
    Poucos são os que o encontrarão.
    A sombra que caminha entre vós
    Se chama cisma, divisão!


    In the third line, “encontrarão” —in my opinion— the verb “encontrar” (to find) should be understood as “I understand” which by the way is the most common usage of that verb in colloquial Brazilian parlance: “Eu acho …” (lit. “I find”) really means “In my opinion” or “as I understand it”. That is extremely common. Notice that Brazilian Portuguese is very rich in idiomatic usages of common words.

    So, the angel is not praising or promoting evil. The angel is warning the readers that evil uses darkness as a cloak to grow in strength when no one is aware of its presence. Again, eu acho (in my opinion) that the angel is warning us obliquely against the infiltration of evil just as Our Lord did when He taught us: “The enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat” —Jesus was not extoling sabotage but simply warning us about hidden evil activities— if one reads past the first verse it is obvious that the poem praises good and condemns evil.

    There is no obligation to believe the validity or authenticity of Fr. Olivera’s visions and dreams. Catholics are not obliged to believe in anything beyond Holy Tradition and Scripture as they and they only contain all that is necessary for salvation. Private revelation is a bonus in addition to Divine Revelation. It is up to us to discern the value of private revelations if we are so inclined since there is no doctrinal obligation to do so.

    “Evil grows in darkness” is an obvious truth. Evil belongs in darkness, evil can fester there and grow strong until its next futile attempt to attack light. One can see that light dispels darkness but darkness cannot dispel light.

    “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.” (John 1:5)

    That is de fide. Catholics are under obligation to believe that.

    “Few are those who know it” is another certainty: a growing number of Catholics believe the Church has been infiltrated by evil men but that number was never a majority. I was told in 1966 that Archbishop Hélder Pessoa Câmara was a Communist and I did not believe it. My thinking has evolved. Being better informed today I am as sure as anyone can be that he was a Communist cloaked as a minister of God. Yet, no one is under obligation to share my opinion.

    “Few are the ones who will find out.” is also true. Most Catholics today are completely unaware of the destructive infiltration of the Church. If Masses were celebrated tomorrow with a communion of pizza and soda pop, most people would approach the altar and receive such ‘communion’ —the reader may laugh at the idea but the species have been replaced a few times and only a few people questioned the change!

    The shadow that walks among you
    It’s called schism, division!


    I read here a sort of indirect allusion to Communism. Karl Marx had a famous dictum “A ghost haunts Europe!” and the “shadow that walks among you” projects a similar image. As Marxism continues to sow division amongst humanity, so does this last extreme version: the ecclesiastical Marxism presently in control of the levers of power in the Catholic hierarchy.

    I translated and published the visions of Fr. Oliveira because they seem to coincide with many other prophecies ancient and recent. Mere human beings cannot fake a prophecy without falling into contradictions and other errors. In the case of Fr. Oliveira one can see his words have a simplicity that is evidence of his humble sincerity. That is my opinion for what is worth. Remember most prudently the words of St. Paul of Tarsus, Apostle of Christ:

    Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecy, but test everything; hold fast to what is good; abstain from every form of evil. May the God of peace himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept sound and blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Thessalonians 5:16-22)

    I need someone to walk me through some of these prophecies, I think that I have prophecy block right now. Lol

    I suppose I’m trying to fit what he says in with Garabandal. I think that he is saying that the Chastisement ends in 2029 but does he predict the time of the Warning? Thank you @BrianK

  6. Gosh, didn’t expect that level of a reply! Thanks to you, Brian, and please pass on my thanks to whomever took the time to write this.

    It doesn’t, however, relieve my concern. Heaven speaks in a way which is always deeply literal as well as figurative, and the primacy of “o mal” at the beginning of what the visionary thinks is the main message is odd, using “cresce” is even stranger. This doesn’t mean evil spreads, it doesn’t mean evil becomes more prominent, it means evil grows, which is impossible because evil is inherently sterile.

    In common parlance it wouldn’t bother me that much, but I don’t think a heavenly messenger would phrase it that way.

    This response was on the same blog as the original thread posts of these messages, so that Argentinian blog author and interpreter must have seen your comments on this thread and felt your comments deserved a response.

    I do not personally know the blog author myself, but if he’s still following this discussion, I would encourage him to contribute to this forum thread.

    I certainly identify an understanding of some of the messages of Fr Oliveria as they speak of things that most Catholics believe in their hearts at this point in time. Like you Brian I have reservations regarding these messages, not just because, they speak in positive lights regarding Pope Francis, nor because they speak of the mark of the beast as possibly a virtuous thing if those that receive this mark help or save those that do not get the mark. My main problem with these messages is in alingment with any name you wish.

    ANYW, I understand your hesitancy with these prophesies, your points are valid but in addition I would like to add to this that Fr Oliveria has also repeated near word for word the same scenario of Fr Michel Rodrigue of Canada.

    In Fr Oliveria's May 12, 2020 inner locution during a retreat, he reiterates the prophesy given by Fr Michel Rodrigue.

    That being the necessity for the faithful to be called to refuges by the light of a flame from our guardian angel and we will have the mark of the cross on our foreheads, we will be safe in these refuges because God will provide supernatural things such as food, we will also have priests who will bilocate to give us holy communion.

    Maybe both priests are correct!

    Maybe this supernatural event will happen and we good Catholics will be lead by this flame, to the secure and evil untouchable refuges.

    In my mind a little bit like the protestant rapture but in this case we Catholics will escape martyrdom, because we are so close to Jesus and His most blessed mother, therefore unlike Jesus and His blessed Mother we will be spared martyrdom and suffering!?
    What!
    I can't figure!

    I know that with prayer we give ourselves the best chance to survive in unprecedented times, like St Maximillian Kolby, St Edith Stein, St John the baptise, St Peter and St Paul however if God wills our return to Him, we can not depend on our saintliness nor on a refuge; this is all in Gods hands!

    Well for what it's worth I understood it in this sense. Evil grows. Yes evil grows but in a negative manner. That is, evil having no substance of its own is parasitic, it is pure privation. It grows in the sense that what ought to be good has become deformed, corrupted, twisted. What should be for goodness, truth, beauty and unity is now at the service of evil, lies, ugliness, disunity. And these have certainly "grown" in our day.

    Yes, very well said. You enumerated my reservations exactly.

    But I didn’t want my own reservations to bias the overall assessment of the MOG community. (Especially because so much of my own reservations regard his positive assessment of Pope Francis.)

    I’ve always found this idea of refuges to be a false hope too. But I could be wrong and want to be wrong.

    Now that you’ve laid this out so well and I’ve had a chance to ponder the body of messages for a couple days, I’m more inclined to disregard them.

    Isn't evil a lack of goodness? God cannot be evil, and He is everywhere. But if He is rejected, the goodness goes with Him, does evil moves in to fill the void left? So, maybe it isn't so much that evil grows, but spreads to fill the void left where Goodness is rejected? idk

    I would have thought that anyone reading the signs of the times would have agreed that evil is spreading. I think we can get too bogged down in semantics here. The power of evil certainly seems to be growing as weeds among the wheat flourish in the relevant soil.

    As for the ‘positive’ references to PF - I may be playing with semantics here but Francis isn’t named. Will he still be pope in 2029?

    I do like these prophecies as they are not over wordy and they are specific. They can be proved wrong. The prophecies I have no time for are rambling and vague, allowing the reader to put their own interpretation on them in the light of events. That’s just my personal take and I could easily be wrong. I fell for Charlie Johnson so I try to be more wary these days. Nevertheless I like Fr Oliveira, he seems humble and I don’t think he is attention seeking.

    Same here. And I haven't written off Fr Rodrigue either, but "keep a distance", sort of. The two bishops who had authority over him never condemned his writing/prophesy. They more or less said they didn't believe such things at all and basically told him to shut up (my take anyway). One of them shortly after supporting the other, resigned under strange circumstances.
    https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/...signs-at-age-of-64-for-the-good-of-the-church
    The bishops in Fr Rodrigue's case, did not do their job, while Archbishop Acquila, in the case of Mr. Johnson did do his.

    Fr Oliveira comes across, to me anyway, as sincere. My question is whether he has ever had contact with Fr Rodrigue, given the similarities of the messages.

    Yes evil is a lack. The term used traditionally is privation. What ought be there is not. Being/existence is good so in this respect even old nick himself having being and being held in being is an aspect of the good. Evil itself is a deformation of what exists. Evil as such has no positive independent existence of its own since it is privation. A Good will and a malevolent will. Both exist but the latter is an abuse a debasement of the former.

    Yes. That’s the beauty of open discussion. It helps discernment. I didn't realize how closely they resembled Fr Rodrigue's revelations. Uneasy.

    The biggest issue for me with Fr Rodrigue is that he traveled the US with John Leary on speaking tours. John Leary’s bishop ruled that his messages were not supernatural.

  20. Yes that is a biggie for me. John leary if you read his stuff. Wow. I feel the same about father Rodrique. I do believe the Holy Spirit will lead us to Safety but alot of his writings don't sit well with me. Prayers and discernment are needed.
