We see very dark clouds today, Phillip. What does this tell us? That it will rain. But, if for some reason you did not know this, and I did, and you needed to know in order to save your life, surely I, your loving father, would say to you: "Look at the clouds, it is going to rain, Phillip." And if you didn’t hear me I would shout. And if you did not hear or heed, I would repeat and repeat again. This is what God did before the end. He flooded the 19^th and 20^th centuries with Warnings from Heaven. He used holy people as His messengers and put the Signature of His miracles all around His Messages to authenticate them for us. For not even the devil can perform a real miracle; he can only project false appearances.
          God did not leave any important truth unrevealed. He warned us about the Divine and the human Chastisements to come if we did not stop sinning and allowing the enemy free reign. He pointed definitively to the infiltration of the enemy into the Church in their attempt to destroy it. He spoke of their plan for a One-World Church that would merge with their One-World Government. His greatest, most urgent warnings were of the errors promoted by His enemies that were designed to steal our Faith, the most precious gift He had given us.
          Remember what Feuerbach said, " …this being of man in community – this is God." If community is god, then the State, which is supposed to represent the community of men is above any individual or group in the community. But the truth is that community is an abstraction. God created individual human beings, not communities or races. Therefore, the primary relationship is between God and a human person. This is where the Catholic Faith resides, in persons, in living souls. Each person finds the hearth of his own personal home and destiny in this Faith that reveals the true God to him. This is where holiness and sanctity, reasonableness, order and all that is good is to be found in this world. Faithful souls are the building blocks of the Church and of society. They are really united in the unity of the one Voice of God, the Word, which speaks to each one of them unequivocally. This is the Community we call the Church. There is no contradiction within it, yet there is no end to the richness of diversity within it, for God deals with each human personality.
          But Communism involves elite satanists playing God by merging of church and the state, while using the doctrine of their separation to keep true religion from "interfering" in their domination of the affairs of men. As in every case, what they say is the opposite of what they do: HYPOCRISY is the real name of their stupid "Super-State."
          It was essential to Satan’s forces to appear to take over the voice of the Catholic Church, in order to lead the sheep astray. Their infiltrators who entered clerical and lay positions of influence were under orders to subtly change doctrine over time, by controlling official positions and offices by propaganda and slight of hand and misrepresentations. Modernism is the error they used. Let’s read this definition of it:

          "The first moment, the decades of the Nineteenth Century prior to the First Vatican Council, is identified by the work of a group of

144

priests, chiefly German, under the leadership of Father Anton Guenther (1783-1863). Enamored with the Modern Philosophy of Descartes and Kant, alienated from the patrimony of Christian Philosophy, Guentherism taught that the dogmas of faith are infallibly true, indeed, but only with a relative truth: relative to the progress reached by science and philosophy at the time of the dogmatic definition. As this progress advances, the articles and dogmas of faith must be re-interpreted accordingly. Definitions and formulations of faith, the best possible when the Church first stated them, become outmoded with the passage of time, and quite simply must be replaced. Thus the dogmas develop intrinsically, just as science and philosophy do. There is no absolute truth in the Catholic Fact, but only a relative truth, always more perfectible.
          It is this "prescription," as the Early church termed it, this "Ordinary and Universal Magisterium" in the words of Vatican I, which Modernism sets aside. Unlike earlier heretical movements, it takes its position not against this or that particular Article of Faith, but against the profession of the Apostolic Faith as such. This is done by a re-interpretation, as it is called, of the entire Creed in the light of Modern Philosophy. As a writer in the Encyclopedia Britannica puts it accurately, the Modernists "sought to re-interpret traditional Catholic teaching in the light of nineteenth century philosophical, historical and psychological theories." Participating in the essential characteristics of Modern Philosophy as such, in its Cartesian, Spinozan and Kantian metaphysics, it introduces into Religious thought the eclipse of the transcendent personal God of Revelation characteristic of Modern Philosophy, and hence its shift toward man-centrism, toward positivism and empiricism in epistemology. Faith, the very heart of religion, is the first element to suffer this reinterpretation: it is now an experience of the Divine (as the God of Abraham comes to be called) and not an intellectual assent to the Word of God revealed and committed to a teaching Church to hand on by means of the human discourse of Evangelization and Catechesis."

          Modernism was simply Communism warring against the Church while pretending to be of the Church. But it was really the church of man or the anti-church trying to misrepresent and discredit the true Church it tried to impersonate.
          Sometimes the enemy published phony private revelations, like those at Medjugorje, Yugoslavia in order to scandalize the pious and lead astray the foolish by sowing error and confusion, while discrediting true apparitions by parody. Those of us who took it upon ourselves to test the spirits and to publish the true Messages of Heaven had to use several criteria: 1) the complete orthodoxy or purity of doctrine in the Messages, 2) the proven sanctity of the seer, 3) the proven miracles, and 4) the agreement of the Messages’ statements with other Messages already known to be true. We leaned on Tradition most heavily; for, as St. Paul said: "Therefore, brethren, stand fast: and hold the traditions which you have learned, whether by word, or by our epistle. (2 Thessalonians 2:12-14) and "But though we (Bishops), or an angel from heaven, preach a doctrine to you besides that which we have preached to you, let him be anathema." (Galatians 1:8)
          The approval of the Pope was available only up to Fatima in 1917. And the enemy within fought and delayed this approval for 13 years. In 1966 Pope Paul VI ‘abrogated Canon Law articles 1399 and 2318, permitting us to follow and publish

private revelations without ecclesiastical approval, provided that they did not endanger Faith and Morals.’ A good bishop’s approval or disapproval was also a valuable indication of authenticity, as at Medjugorje, where the bishop disapproved of and condemned these supposed revelations from the beginning. But the disapproval of bishops or clergy known to be liberals or heretical could also be valuable. Their thumbs down were an indication that the Messages were probably true.
          Phillip, let us now review Catholic prophecy concerning the latter times up to the 1990’s. We begin with Holy Scripture:

          "But of the times and moments, brethren, you need not, that we should write to you: for yourselves know perfectly, that the day of the Lord shall so come, as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, peace and security; then shall sudden destruction come upon them, as the pains upon her that is with child, and they shall not escape. But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. For all you are the children of light, and children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness." (1 Thessalonians 5:1-5)
          "And then that wicked one shall be revealed whom the Lord Jesus shall kill with the spirit of his mouth: and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming, him, whose coming is according to the working of Satan, in all power, and signs, and lying wonders, and in all seduction of iniquity to them that perish; because they receive not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. Therefore God shall send them the operation of error, to believe lying: that all may be judged who have not believed the truth, but have consented to iniquity." (2 Thessalonians 2:8-11)

          A life of unrepentant immorality prevents one from avoiding the "operation of error," but the "children of Light" shall not be taken by surprise with the coming of the Lord. Modernist clergy liked to repeat every year that you cannot know the day or hour, so don’t worry about it; don’t believe anything you hear; don’t pass the word along. Do nothing; just be ready all the time to save your soul. They never quoted St. Paul: "despise not prophecy, but test the spirits." And they did not understand how this verse applied to them: "Know also this, that in the last days shall come on dangerous times. Men shall be lovers of themselves, covetous, haughty, proud … having an appearance indeed of godliness, but denying the power thereof." (II Timothy 3:1-2,5)
          At least 99% of the pastors in my time, Phillip, did not recognize the signs of the times. They did not prepare their flocks. They were infected with Modernism and humanism, and doctrinal and liturgical errors of all kinds. They especially reviled all the Warnings from Heaven. They would not speak to you or answer you concerning these matters. They were bound by human respect and false authority. We were told by heaven that the clergy was under especially heavy attack by the evil spirits let loose on the earth and that they needed our prayers greatly.
          In the Black Mass of the Satanists the congregation actually "kissed the butt" of the priest. This phrase became a common term to describe the fear of human opinion or servile human respect, the greatest tool of Satan. In his services of adoration it was a sign of worshipping him. Those motivated by human respect also served him, indirectly worshipping a principle of his evil kingdom.
          "So those who acted out of servile human respect were actually worshipping Satan?"

          If they did so not out of human weakness, but as habitual principle, yes, Phillip, they were. Here is a good description of it:

          "To give ourselves up to the spiritual life is to put ourselves out of harmony with the world around us. We make a discord even with much that is amiable and affectionate, and with which, as natural virtue, we cannot be altogether without sympathy. We live in a different world, have different interests and speak a different language, and the two worlds will not mingle. Grace holds us in one world, nature draws us down again into the other …
          It (human respect) is as miserable as it is evil … No slavery is more degradedand unhappy. What a misery to be ashamed of our duties and principles! … Religion which ought to be our peace, becomes our torment. … A general wish to please, a laying ourselves out in particular subject matters in order to please, building castles in the air and imagining heroic acts, reflecting on the praise bestowed upon us, and giving way to low spirits when dispraised – these are all manifestations of this horrible human respect.
          It is the death of all religion. The especial task of Christians is the realization of the invisible world. They have different standards of right and wrong from the votaries of earth. They live inextricably mixed up with the children of the world, as men using the same language with different meanings and the confusion and apparent deceit grow worse every day."

          In order to carry on our mission, Phillip, we had to obey Jesus’ summons to suffer reproach and disfavor as He and His Saints did before us. Listen:

          "Those who love the Church, the Body of Christ, will suffer as did our Lord, who is ‘the Way, the Truth, and the Life."
          "Whom the Lord loveth, He chastiseth; and He scourgeth every son whom He receiveth." (Hebrews 12:6)
          "And all that will live Godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution." (II Timothy 3:12)
          Our Lord Jesus Christ was betrayed by one of His chosen Apostles, denied by His Vicar St. Peter, condemned in plenary council, and crucified at the instigation of the Jews, His own priests and people."

          Our last five Popes had been murdered. Millions and millions of Catholics had been murdered in our own generation. But no servant of human respect could add these things up to see that we were in the "Last Times." They were so disconnected with Christ’s Suffering in His own Church that they thought the end times were way far into the future. Some thought, Scripture concerning the end times was just a didactic myth, like the stories of Adam, the Flood, Job, and Jonah.
          Our priests seemed to regard most highly the "wisdom" coming out of their own mouths. They were not simply faithful witnesses to Christ and His Church; they were faithful witnesses to their own conceit. With this leadership the laity was in great danger. Each person had to shoulder responsibility for their own education and guidance by the true doctrine and tradition of the Church.
          I am becoming irritated, Son. Let us move on to the ancient prophecies alluding to our times and just keep going. The first thing to clear up though is a confusion about the Last Times. Whether Christ would come in a Day of the Lord, a prejudgement, before He came in the Final Judgement at the end of time. Here we consult at length an

eminent Doctor of Theology, Rev. Benjamin Martin Sanchez, in his book The Last Times:

          THE LAST TIMES AND THE END OF THE WORLD
          Since some lamentably confuse the "last times," with the "end of the world," I shall first explain this theme and clarify it with the words of the prophets.
          As I indicated, in the prologue, the "last times", according to the Bible, are those times characterized by a "lack of faith" and are the last times of the Messianic era, which we can denominate as the "times of incredulity."
          The following Biblical texts prove this premise: II St. Peter 3_3-4; St. Jude 1:17-18; II Timothy 3:1-5; II Thess.2:1-11.
          In those times, there will be a judgment of nations or a great chastisement upon the world, which the prophets announced frequently, because men will be living far from God and will turn their backs to the Gospel of Christ.
          The world will come out of the chastisement purified. After the punishment a period of wonderful peace and sanctity will follow during which time Christ will reign "from one end of the world to the other." During His reign "all His enemies will fall at His feet" and they will render Him their vassalage. His Church will be gloriously triumphant.
          The private messages and prophecies we present, as a continuation, agree perfectly, in every detail, with the texts of the prophets who are quoted hereafter. Let me reiterate, the purification of the world should not be confused with the "final judgment" about which the Bible tells us not even the angels of heaven know the date.
          That which is announced is not the end of the world (it cannot be announced) but a judgment of nations, a minor judgment, as the Message of Heede, Germany, warns us or a miniature judgment as Theresa Neumann also announced.
          We confirm this assertation with the ensuing texts foretelling "a great chastisement" coming upon the world, after which there will remain a small number of inhabitants who will enjoy a great peace and who will truly form the real people of God, continuing to invoke Him.

          Isaias 24:1-6. The thought of the prophet is: because the earth has been profaned by its inhabitants it will be devastated and there will only remain a few people upon it.
          This small number of survivors is reflected in the following imagery telling us that because of the punishment which shall overcome the world, "it shall be thus in the midst of the earth, in the midst of the earth, in the midst of the people, as if a few olives, that remain, should be shaken out of the olive tree: or grapes, when the vintage is ended." (Isaias 24:13) Therefore, there will remain some inhabitants after the great catastrophy, even though only a few, it is, nevertheless, an evident sign that it is not the end of the world.

          Isaias 66: 15-16; 19 and 23. There are many who doubt that the Gospel has been preached to all the world. However, it is one thing to have the Gospel preached and quite another to have it accepted. Therefore, the words of Christ, "And this Gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world, for a testimony to all nations, and then shall the consummation come." (St. Matt. 24:14) will be fully accomplished after the world catastrophy, or judgment of the nations, announced by the prophets, conforming to the words of Isaias. Then, too, all will be

148

fulfilled as our Lord said: "And there shall be one fold and one shepherd." (Eze. 37:24; St. John 10:16)

          Sophonias 1:14-17; 3:8-9, 13. Please note that after this judgment some survivors do remain, invoking the name of God, so it is therefore quite clear that if there are some survivors, after he executes His just sentence upon the nations, on the "day of the Lord," it cannot be the end of the world. One is very different from the other.

          Zacharias 13:8-9. "And there shall be in all the earth, saith the Lord, two parts in it shall be scattered, and shall perish: But the third Part shall be left therein.
          And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined; and I will try them as gold is tried. They shall call on My name, and I will hear them. I will say: Thou art My people: and they shall say: The Lord is my God."
          Note, that in the above text, there is to come a great chastisement over the earth, where only a third part remains and that they will be purified and will continue to invoke the name of God.
          Other parts of the Bible likewise confirm that once the universe is renewed, it will serve as the scene of human life. (II St. Peter 3:10-13)
          We could continue to cite many other texts about the same theme of the judgment of the nations, where the wicked will perish, however, it is sufficient to give the preceding to demonstrate that the universal judgment, which will be public, social and collective, against the nations, is not the final judgment nor the end of the world.
          A modern Scripture scholar, Fr. Garcia Ramos, C.M.F., has given us a clarification about this question: "As there are two ways of judging the dead, the personal and the universal so, also, there are two kinds of judgments of the living which are the same, the personal and the universal, according to which the Lord punishes a single nation (the day of the Lord against Egypt, against Jerusalem, against Babylonia, etc.) and that of all nations and peoples collectively at the same time."
          The universal judgment of the living we simply call universal judgment and that of the dead is called the final judgment. The final judgement of the dead is postponed for another time, the end of the world.
          The distinction is already expressed in the dogmatic formula: "And He will come again to judge the living and the dead," which is seen various times in Holy Scriptures. (Acts 10:42; II Tim. 4:1; I Peter 4:5)
          Now, we shall present a very interesting prophecy about Jerusalem and some of the evangelical texts containing words of Jesus Christ which seemingly refer to the last times omitting those which make a full reference to the end of the world.
          TIMES OF ANGUISH (St. Matt. 24; St. Mark 13; St. Luke 21)
          THE GREAT TRIBULATION (St. Matt. 24:21-24; St. Mark 13: 19-22) "For in those days shall be such tribulations as were not from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, neither shall be. And unless the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh should be saved: but for the sake of the elect which He hath chosen, He hath shortened the days … for there shall rise up false Christs and false prophets, and they shall show signs and wonders, to seduce (if it were possible) even the elect."
          The "elect," without a doubt, are the "remnant" who are left on earth and who will be preserved by God from death during the great catastrophe or judgment of the nations.

149

          How will this tribulation be for men? Jesus Christ has already told us: "such as hath not been from the beginning of the world until now, neither shall be." St. John, in the Apocalypse, speaks to us about the seven trumpets that are like divine commands, which will bring upon the world those calamities God uses to exercise His judgments. We are told that the chastisements are so great "upon those who have not the sign of God on their foreheads" that their "torment was as the torment of a scorpion when he striketh a man" and that "in those days men shall seek death, and shall not find it: and they shall desire to die, and death shall fly from them." (Apoc. 9: 5-6)
          "Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth: by reason of the rest of the voices of the three angels, who are yet to sound the trumpet." (Apoc. 8:13)
          These will be followed by cosmic catastrophies, hard and calamitous times, "And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, by reason of the confusion of the roaring of the sea and of the waves; men withering away for fear, and expectation of what shall come upon the whole world. For the powers of heaven shall be moved." (St. Luke 21: 25-26)
          In the predictions of Jesus Christ there appears the revelation of two events intertwined; the destruction of Jerusalem and the universal ruin at the end of the times. The first was simply a pale image of the terrible desolation that comes later. If the prophecy about Jerusalem was fulfilled, we should surely believe that all the other things Jesus predicted will be fulfilled, too.
          EXHORTATION CONCERNING VIGILENCE (St. Luke 17: 26-30; 21: 34-36)
          "And as it came to pass in the days of Noe, so shall it be in the days of the Son of man. They did eat and drink, they married wives, and were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark; and the flood came and destroyed them all.
          "Likewise as it came to pass in the days of Lot: they did eat and drink, they bought and sold, they planted and built. And in the day that Lot went out of Sodom; it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man shall be revealed.
          "And take heed to yourselves, lest perhaps your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting and drunkenness, and the cares of this life, and that day come upon you suddenly. For as a snare shall it come upon all that sit upon the face of the whole earth.
          "Watch ye therefore, praying at all times, that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that are to come, and to stand before the Son of man."
          Jesus Christ announced to His apostles, referring to the destruction of Jerusalem, that "when you shall see Jerusalem compassed about with an army; then know that the desolation thereof is at hand. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains; and those who are in the midst thereof, depart out: and those who are in the countries, not enter into it." (St. Luke 21: 20-21)
          The Christians, of Jerusalem, who had taken into account this prophecy, left the holy city before its downfall, retiring to Pella on the other side of the Jordan, and so were saved. However, when Jesus Christ refers to the great chastisement which is to burst upon the world, He simply tells us that it will come suddenly, without warning, "in that

150

hour we least expect" and for this reason we should be prepared everyday. We should be even more prepared when we see the foretold signs because, "the day of the Lord shall come as a thief; in which the heavens shall pass away with great violence, and the elements shall be melted with heat, and the earth and the works which are in it, shall be burnt up. Seeing then that all these things are to be dissolved, what manner of people ought you be in holy conduct and godliness. Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of the Lord …?" (II St. Peter3:10-12)
          PROPHECIES OF THE APOSTLES
I Thessalonians 5:1-3
                   II Thessalonians 2:1-12
          One of the characteristics of the "last times" will be the general apostasy. The apostasy will be a religious defection, a separation or a seduction brought to a head by false messiahs …
          The "man of sin" is the Antichrist whose triumph will lead men to an apostasy, "the mystery of iniquity already worketh," which is working in the world disguised in discord and confusion. Actually, at the present time, one can note the infiltration of an apostasy everywhere and it is aided by the attitude of so-called Christians who are surrendering to error instead of defending the dogmatic truths of their faith and who are accommodating themselves, in their thinking, to a rationalized world, heeding theories that kill their faith.
          … But the worst of all, is that many of the apostates, for the large part, are staying within the Church (II Tim. 3:1-7) and infecting others. (Gal. 5:9)
          A most impressive announcement of Christ about the defection from the faith, despite the promise of His assistance to the Church until the consummation of the centuries, is: "But yet the Son of man, when He cometh, shall He find, think you, faith on earth?" (St. Luke 18:8) … And directly connected to the above another equally important announcement of His: "And because iniquity hath abounded, the charity of many shall grow cold." (St. Matt. 24:12)
          II TIMOTHY 3:1-5; 4:2-4.
          II ST. PETER 2:1-2; 3:1-13.
          "But we look for new heavens and a new earth according to His promises, in which justice dwelleth."

          I ST. JOHN 2:18-23; II ST. JOHN 1:7
          … "This is Antichrist, who denieth the Father and the Son.
          … Many are now actually falling into error, but they are those who never sincerely adhered to the truth of the faith.

          ST. JUDE 1:8, 12-21
          …"Now of these Enoch also, the seventh from Adam prophecied, saying: Behold, the Lord cometh with thousands of His saints. To execute judgment upon all, and to reprove all the ungodly …"

          COMMENTARIES OF THE HOLY FATHERS AND THEOLOGIANS
                    1) St. Augustine, in his Commentary on the 7^th Psalm, says:"There will be few with pure and sincere faith among the Christians," adding "The antichrist will be seated in the temple, that is, in the Church, as if the people of God were formed of a multitude of the impious."
                    2) St. Ephraim, in his treatise "Of the Consummation of the Century," assures that "when the Antichrist comes the apostasy of the century will be completed."

151

                    3) St. Hippolytus (martyr of the III Century) in his treatise "Of the Consummation of the World," recognizes that "the seduction will fill the entire world;’ that the deserted city of Isaias, Chapter 1, is the Church; then the pastors will be converted into wolves until the end when all will believe in the Antichrist.
          … The results we obtain from these texts and commentaries show us that in the epoch of the end of the times there will be very little faith and that very few will still persevere. Therefore, disorder and dissention will reign due to the ambition and the spirit of pride men will possess which carries in itself the confusion of ideas.
          The apostasy will be general and this will be caused by habits’ more than doctrines, since the Apostles tell us of the abundance of concupisciences of the heart which will be produced by a corrupting naturalism causing the faith to cool. There will not be any life of piety, but only men with an exterior or outward appearance of virtue who will, in fact, be far from God.

PROPHECIES OF THE BLESSED VIRGEN IN SOME OF HER MESSAGES
1.     Message Given to the World at Fatima.
     In 1917, the Blessed Virgin appeared at Fatima, Portugal, to three young shepherds, Lucia, Francisco and Jacinta, ranging in age from ten to seven years. Lucia is the only one of the three seers still alive, presently living in the Convent of Descalced Carmelite nuns of Coimbra, north of Fatima.
     The Message, or secret of Fatima, has three parts. The first was the vision of Hell; the second Lucia tells us was:
     "As if to ask for help, we raised our eyes to the Lady, who told us, with kindness and sadness: ‘You have seen hell where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish on earth the devotion to My Immaculate heart. If people do what I tell you many souls will be saved and there will be peace.
     But if it is not done and if the world does not cease offending God, Divine Justice will manifest itself with newer and even greater punishments. Russia will scatter her errors throughout the world, provoking wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer, and various nations will be destroyed…
     This war (1914-1918) will soon end, but if men do not cease to offend God, another and a worse war will begin during the next pontificate.’"
     … the child, Jacinta, later said something she repeated on her deathbed: "If men will repent, God will pardon them, but if they do not amend their lives, there will come upon the earth the most terrible chastisement ever known."
     These extracts are, briefly, the first two parts of the Fatima Message.
     … Although, the third part of the secret of Fatima remains hidden …we can dimly see what it might contain through another document already published.

A MESSAGE OF LUCIA OF FATIMA (Note: This was given to Father Agustin Fuentes who was, at the time, the postulator of the Cause of Beatification of the two little Seers, Francisco and Jacinta.)
          "I bring you a message of extreme urgency: the Holy Father has permitted me to visit Lucia.
          She received me sadly. She was very thin and quite afflicted. Upon seeing me she said: "Father, our Lady is very unhappy because they have not taken her message of 1917 seriously. Neither the good nor the bad have paid any attention to it. The good continue their way without preoccupying themselves with it, they do not heed Her celestial requests.

152

The bad walk through life swollen with perdition, not taking into account the punishment that threatens them. Believe me, Father, God will chastise the world very soon. Think, Father, about all the souls who will fall into Hell. This will happen because no one prays, because they do not do penance.
          All this is the reason why the Blessed Virgin is sad. Father, tell everyone that our Lady has, frequently, announced to me that many nations will disappear off the face of the earth. Russia is the scourge chosen by God to punish mankind, if we, through prayer and the sacraments, do not obtain the grace of their conversion. Tell them, Father, tell them that the devil has begun a decisive battle against our Lady, because what most afflicts the Immaculate heart of Mary and the Sacred heart of Jesus is the fall of the souls of religious and priests.
          The devil knows that when religious and priests fail in their beautiful vocations they carry along with them many souls into hell. And now, precisely, is the moment to stop the chastisement of Heaven. We have at our disposition two very efficacious means of doing this: prayer and sacrifice.
          "The devil does everything he can to distract us and take away our liking for prayer; we shall save ourselves or condemn ourselves together. Furthermore, Father, it is now necessary to tell the people that they should not wait for a call to penitence and to prayer from the Holy Father, nor from the Bishops, nor the pastors, nor the Superiors. It is the right moment for them to use their own initiative in fulfilling good and holy works and reform their lives as the Holy Virgin desires.
          The devil desires to strengthen himself through consecrated souls; he tries to corrupt them so he can deceive others into a final impenitence. He uses many tricks even the ruse of suggesting tardiness in entering a religious life.
          The results are a sterility of interior life and a coldness among the laity keeping them from renouncing pleasures and from offering a total immolation of themselves to God.
          Tell them, Father, that two things are the basis of the sanctification of Jacinta and Francisco, the sorrow of our Lady and the vision of hell.
          If is as if our Lady were between two swords: On one side She sees humanity obstinate and indifferent facing the announced chastisements and on the other side She sees how we profane the Sacraments and ignore the punishment which is coming ever nearer and nearer, remaining incredulous, sensuous and materialistic. Our Lady has said: "We are on the border of the last times."
          Our Lady has told me three times:
          a)     First: She has affirmed that the devil has begun a decisive battle, that is to say, from which one or the other will win or lose. We are with God or we are with the devil.
          b)     Second: She repeated to me that the last remedies given to the world are the Holy Rosary and the devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
          c)     Third: She told me that other means of salvation have been despised by men many times. In Her anguish She offers us the last anchor of salvation which is Herself (perhaps the other means were Her numerous apparitions, signs of tears, messages of various seers scattered throughout the world).
          Our Lady has also said that if we will not listen and continue to offend God, we will not be pardoned. Father, it is urgent to understand this terrible reality, we do not wish to frighten souls, but it is an urgent call to humanity.
          Since the Blessed Virgin has given such a great remedy as the

153

Rosary, there does not exist a single material, spiritual, national or international problem that cannot be solved through the Holy Rosary and our sacrifices. To pray the Rosary with love and piety will console Mary and erase the numerous tears of Her Immaculate Heart." (taken from the "Messagero del Cuore di Maria" No. 8-9 August –September, 1961, Rome, Italy)

THE SECRET OF LA SALETTE in Melanie’s own words
          "Melanie, what I am about to tell you now will not always be a secret. You may make it public in 1858.
          The priests, ministers of my Son, the priests, by their wicked lives, by their irreverence and their impiety in the celebration of the holy mysteries, by their love of money, their love of honours and pleasures, the priests have become cesspools of impurity. Yes, the priests are asking vengeance, and vengeance is hanging over their heads. Woe to the priests and to those dedicated to God who by their unfaithfulness and their wicked lives are crucifying my Son again! The sins of those dedicated to God cry out towards heaven and call for vengeance, and now vengeance is at their door, for there is no one left to beg mercy and forgiveness for the people. There are no more generous souls, there is no one left worthy of offering a stainless sacrifice to the Eternal for the sake of the world.
          God will strike in an unprecedented way.
          Woe to the inhabitants of the earth! God will exhaust His wrath upon them, and no one will be able to escape so many afflictions together.
          The chiefs, the leaders of the people of god have neglected prayer and penance, and the devil has bedimmed their intelligence. They have become wandering stars which the old devil will drag along with his tail to make them perish. God will allow the old serpent to cause divisions among those who reign in every society and in every family. Physical and moral agonies will be suffered. God will abandon mankind to itself and will send punishments which will follow one after the other for more than thirty-five years.
          The Society of men is on the eve of the most terrible scourges and of gravest events. Mankind must expect to be ruled with an iron rod and to drink from the chalice of the wrath of God.
          May the curate of my Son, Pope Pius IX never leave Rome again after 1859; may he, however, be steadfast and noble, may he fight with the weapons of faith and love. I will be at his side. May he be on his guard against Napoleon: he is two-faced, and when he wishes to make himself Pope as well as Emperor, God will soon draw back from him. He is the master-mind who, always wanting to ascend further, will fall on the sword he wished to use to force his people to be raised up.
          Italy will be punished for her ambition in wanting to shake off the yoke of the Lord of Lords. And so she will be left to fight a war; blood will flow on all sides. Churches will be locked up or desecrated. Priests and religious orders will be hunted down, and made to die a cruel death. Several will abandon the faith, and a great number of priests and members of religious orders will break away from the true religion; among these people there will even be bishops.
          May the Pope guard against the performers of miracles. For the time has come when the most astonishing wonders will take place on the earth and in the air.
          In the year 1864, Lucifer together with a large number of demons will be unloosed from hell; they will put an end to faith little by little, even in those dedicated to God. They will blind them in such a way, that, unless they are blessed with a special grace, these people will take on the spirit of these angels of hell; several religious institutions will lose all faith and

154

will lose many souls.
          Evil books will be abundant on earth and the spirits of darkness will spread everywhere a universal slackening in all that concerns the service of God. They will have great power over Nature: there will be churches built to serve these spirits. People will be transported from one place to another by these evil spirits, even priests, for they will not have been guided by the good spirit of the Gospel which is a spirit of humility, charity and zeal for the glory of God. On occasions, the dead and the righteous will be brought back to life. …
          Everywhere there will be extraordinary wonders, as true faith has faded and false light brightens the people. Woe to the princes of the church who think only of piling riches upon riches to protect their authority and dominate with pride.
          The Vicar of my son will suffer a great deal, because for a while the Church will yield to large persecution, a time of darkness and the Church will witness a frightful crisis.
          The true faith to the Lord having been forgotten, each individual will want to be on his own and be superior to people of same identity, they will abolish civil rights as well as ecclesiastical, all order and all justice would be trampled underfoot and only homicides, hate, jealousy, lies and dissention would be seen without love for country or family.
          The Holy Father will suffer a great deal. I will be with him until the end and receive his sacrifice.
          The mischievous would attempt his life several times to do harm and shorten his days but neither him nor his successor will see the triumph of the Church of God.
          All the civil governments will have one and the same plan, which will be to abolish and do away with every religious principal, to make way for materialism, atheism, spiritualism and vice of all kinds.
          In the year 1865, there will be desecration of holy places. In convents, the flowers of the Church will decompose and the devil will make himself like the King of all hearts. May those in charge of religious communities be on their guard against the people they must receive, for the devil will resort to all his evil tricks to introduce sinners into religious orders, for disorders and the love of carnal pleasures will be spread all over the earth.
          France, Italy, Spain and England will be at war. Blood will flow in the streets. Frenchman will fight Frenchman, Italian will fight Italian. A general war will follow which will be appalling. For a time, God will cease to remember France and Italy because the Gospel of Jesus Christ has been forgotten. The wicked will make use of all their evil ways. Men will kill each other, massacre each other even in their homes.
          At the first blow of His thundering sword, the mountains and all nature will tremble in terror, for the disorders and crimes of men have pierced the vault of the heavens. Paris will burn and Marseille will be engulfed. Several cities will be shaken down and swallowed up by earthquakes. People will believe that all is lost. Nothing will be seen but murder, nothing will be heard but the clash of arms and blasphemy.
          The righteous will suffer greatly. Their prayers, their penances and their tears will rise up to heaven and all of God’s people will beg for forgiveness and mercy and will plead for my help and intercession. And then Jesus Christ, in an act of His justice and His great mercy will command His angels to have all His enemies put to death. Suddenly, the persecutors of the Church of Jesus Christ and all those given over to sin will perish and the earth will become desert-like. And then peace will be made, and man will be reconciled with God. Jesus Christ will be served, worshipped and glorified. Charity will flourish everywhere. The new kings will be the right arm of the

155

holy Church, which will be strong, humble, pious in It’s poor but fervent imitation of the virtues of Jesus Christ. The Gospel will be preached everywhere and mankind will make great progress in it’s faith, for there will be unity among the workers of Jesus Christ and man will live in fear of God.
          This peace among men will be short-lived. Twenty-five years of plentiful harvests will make them forget that the sins of men are the cause of all the troubles of this earth."

MESSAGE OF HEEDE, 1937, Heede, Germany
          "… The parish pastor of Heede says as follows:
          We possess unequivocal and irrefutable evidence about the truth of the apparitions of Jesus Christ. … the message of Heede:
          Humanity has not heeded My Blessed Mother, who appeared in Fatima, to exhort everyone to penitence. Now, I have come, in this last hour, to admonish the world. The times are grave. Men should do penance for their sins …
          I am near. The earth will tremble and will suffer. It will be terrible. A minor judgment. For those who are not in a state of grace it will be frightful. The angels of My justice are now scattered all over the world. Men do not listen to My calls. They close their ears, resist My graces and refuse My mercy, My love and My merits. They will agonize in the blindness of their faults. Hatred and greed fills the hearts of men. All this is the work of Satan. The world sleeps in a dense darkness.
          This generation deserves to be annihilated, but I desire to show Myself as merciful. Great and terrible things are being prepared. That which is about to happen will be terrible, like nothing ever seen since the beginning of the world.
          All those who have suffered, in these last times, are My martyrs and they prepare the newly converted of My Church. That which will shortly happen, will greatly surpass everything that has ever happened until now. The Mother of God and the angels will intervene. Hell will believe that victory is theirs, but I will seize it from them. Many blaspheme Me and, because of this, I shall allow all kinds of misfortunes to rain upon the earth for, through this, many will be saved. Blessed are those who suffer everything in reparation for those who offend Me.
          My beloved children the hour is near. Pray incessantly and you will not be confounded. I unite My elect. They will come together, at the same time, from all parts of the world and they will glorify Me.
          I come. Blessed are those who will be prepared. Blessed are those who hear me."

MESSAGE OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY TOLD TO SISTER ELENA
AIELLO (this Message was reproduced with the Imprimatur of the Bishop of Cadiz-Cueta in 1959)
          "Listen well to what I tell you and announce it to everyone. My heart is saddened by the many afflictions which threaten the world. The justice of our Heavenly Father is gravely offended.
          Men continue to live willfully in their sins. The wrath of God is near at hand. The world will be visited by great misfortunes, by bloody revolutions, by terrible hurricanes and floods of rivers and seas.
          Raise your voice until the priests of God heed My messages and advise men that the time is near and if they do not convert and return to God through prayers and sacrifices, the world will be involved in a new war. The dictators, of the world, infernal creatures, will destroy the churches, profane the Holy Eucharist and destroy the most cherished and holy things.
          In that new pitiless war, much that men have constructed will be

156

destroyed. Clouds with lightning rays of fire and a tempest of fire will pass over the whole world and the punishment will be the most terrible ever known in the history of mankind. It will last 70 hours. The wicked will be crushed and eliminated. Many will be lost because they stubbornly remained in their sins. Then they will feel the force of light over darkness. The hours of darkness are near.
          I am bending over the world and detain the justice of God, otherwise, these things would have already happened. Prayer and sacrifices are needed. Men must return to God and to My Immaculate heart, Mediator for men, then, at least, part of the world will be saved.
          Speak out loudly. Propagate these words everywhere as a true echo of My voice. Make them known because it will help to save many souls and impede much destruction of the Church and the world."

BLESSED ANNA MARIA TAIGI (1837 AD)
          Events she predicted:
          Our Lord announced to her that "after the purification of the world and the Church and the uprooting of all of the bad weeds," He would prepare a renewal, a miraculous triumph of His mercy, adding: "My all-powerful hand will once again put order wherever human force is impotent."
          Then He added: "God will send two punishments, one in the form of wars, revolutions and dangers originating on earth, the other will be sent from heaven. There will come upon the earth an inner darkness that will last three days and three nights. Nothing will be visible and the air will be pestilent and foul and will harm, although not exclusively, the enemies of religion.
          During the three days of darkness artificial light will fail, only blessed candles will burn. During those days of darkness the faithful should remain in their houses, praying the Holy Rosary and asking God for mercy.
          All the enemies of the Church, known and unknown, will perish all over the world during the universal darkness, with the exception of a few who will be converted. St. Peter and St. Paul will intervene in the election of a new Pope." (This is part of the beatification documentation.)
          Finally, in a vision she had: "I saw the earth enveloped in flames, many buildings crumbling, the earth and heaven seemed to be in agony."
          "Millions of men will die by steel, some in war, others in civil strife; other millions will perish in an unforeseen death. After this trial there will be a universal rebirth. This change will happen when the Church will seem to have lost all human means to defend itself in the persecution."

VENERABLE ISABEL CANORI-MORA (1774-1825 AD)
          "… In the chastisement … God permitted the powers of darkness to abandon their infernal abyss. A legion of demons were dispersed over the world and, as emissaries of divine justice, they destroyed houses and palaces, wiped out villages, cities and even whole provinces and gave a cruel death to a multitude of the rebellious. The servant of God saw all those monsters, depicted in the most horrible figures, spurt forth from infernal caverns and raze all the places where God had been most gravely offended and where sacrileges had been committed. Not a trace of them was left.
          In 1821, she heard Our Lord speak of the triumph of the Church, for it would come out of those storms renovated and it would be recognized universally by all the people, giving the Church a new Pastor, full of His Spirit and animated by His zeal who would guide His flock and would send out zealous and holy priests."

157

VENERABLE SISTER ANNA CATHERINE EMMERICH (1774-1824 AD)
          "I saw the Church of St. Peter and an enormous multitude of people working to demolish it. At the same time I saw others repairing the Church. The demolishers took away large pieces; they were, above all, sectarians and apostates, in the majority. In their destructive work these people seemed to follow certain orders and a certain rule. I saw, with horror, that among them there were Catholic priests. I saw the Pope praying, surrounded by false friends who, frequently, did the contrary of what he had ordered."
          … She also said: ‘Fifty or sixty years before the year 2000 Satan will be unchained for a time.’
          Later she saw the Church of St. Peter with its high copula. St. Michael was on top, resplendent, dressed in a robe red as blood and a large banner of war in his hand. In violent battles, accompanied by bands of celestial spirits, he had to defend the Church against the assaults of the world. The Wounds of Christ shown splendidly from the heavens. It was as if she, the stigmatic of Christ, wanted to give a grand idea of the importance of Christ’s Wounds in the history of the Redemption. She said: …‘In the most terrible moment of the battle there will descend, to the battlefield, to the side of the "good" the angels who will multiply the forces of the combatants. A marvelous courage will inflame the ardour of everyone. St. Michael himself will wound the enemies, followed instantly by a general overthrow of these enemies. A sword of fire will then appear above the heads of the triumphant good.’
          ‘When the battle finished upon the earth and the Church, the angel became white and luminous, then disappeared. The Cross, too, disappeared and there was seen in its place, above the Church, a Woman, tall and resplendent, who extended her radiant cape of gold over it. In the Church, acts of reconciliation were observed accompanied by acts of humility. The sects recognized the Church, in her admirable victory and in the light of the revelations which were seen to shine over the Church.
          I felt a splendor and a superior life in all Nature and in all men a holy emotion, as if the birth of the Lord were near and I felt, in such a way, the coming of the reign that I saw myself forced to run to meet it shouting cries of joy."

MARIA JULIA JAHENNY (1850-1941 AD)
          This woman was the oldest stigmatic of modern times. … Born on February 12^th, 1850, she died in 1941 at the age of ninety one.
          … She had, to a high degree, the gift of prophecy which was principally manifested in her visions about the last times and the coming of the Antichrist.
          She said: "There will come three days of great darkness." During those days only blessed candles of pure beeswax would give light in the horrible darkness. A single candle would burn for the three days, but in the houses of the wicked they would not burn. During those days demons would appear, in horrible and abominable shapes, and would make the air resound with frightful blasphemies. Lightning and sparks would penetrate the houses, however, the winds, storms and earthquakes would not put out the light of the blessed candles.
          A cloud, red as blood, would cross the sky, a clap of thunder would make the earth tremble. The world would become an immense cemetery. The bodies of the wicked and the good would cover the earth. The hunger that would follow would be terrible. All of the vegetation would be destroyed as well as three fourths of the human race. The crisis will come to everyone, suddenly, and the chastisement would be worldwide."

158

VENERABLE SISTER NATIVITY (d. 1798 AD)
          "The year 2000 will not pass before the judgment comes, as I have seen it in the divine light."

The source of the following prophecy is taken from The National Educator, September, 1986.
          "Prophecy of St. Nilus, A 5^th Century Hermit – After the year 1900, toward the middle of the 20^th century, the people of that time will become unrecognizable. When the time for the Advent of the Antichrist approaches, people’s minds will grow cloudy from carnal passions, and dishonor and lawlessness will grow stronger. Then the world will become unrecognizable. People’s appearances will change, and it will be impossible to distinguish men from women due to the shamelessness in dress and style of hair. These people will be cruel and will be like wild animals because of the temptations of the Antichrist. There will be no respect for parents and elders, love will disappear, and Christian pastors, bishops, and priests will become vain men, completely failing to distinguish the right-hand way from the left.
          … At that future time, due to the power of such great crimes and licentiousness, people will be deprived of the grace of the Holy Spirit, which they received in Holy Baptism and equally of remorse.
          The Churches of God will be deprived of God-fearing and pious pastors, and woe to the Christians remaining in the world at that time; they will completely lose their faith because they will lack the opportunity of seeing the light of knowledge from anyone at all. … At that time men will also fly through the air like birds and descend to the bottom of the sea like fish. …
          Then the All-good God will see the downfall of the human race and will shorten the days for the sake of those few who are being saved, because the enemy wants to lead even the chosen into temptation, if that is possible… then the sword of chastisement will suddenly appear and kill the perverter and his servants."

          "Father, if so many prophecies of good repute were given to the Church, wouldn’t all good Catholics have believed?"
          Most laity and clergy were not interested in such matters, because they were caught up in the pride of being citizens of the modern age, and they did not hear much about private revelation because their publication was suppressed or ignored by the worldly-wise clergy. And, most did not understand their obligation to search out the revelation of God and to test the spirits, that is, to investigate for themselves and make a personal decision about such things and then to act upon it. Many, too, did not understand the reason why God gives us these revelations. Let us read:

          "The purpose of private revelation, as defined by St. Thomas Aquinas, is not to prove the truth of Christian doctrine or add anything to it but to offer men of a certain period and because of the circumstances of that period, a direction for human action."
          "May we remind you that according to the doctrine of the Fifth Lateran Council and Pope Leo X (1512): ‘When there is a question of prophetic revelation the Pope alone is the judge.’
          Pope Urban VIII says in cases like this – it is better to believe than not to believe, for if you believe and it is proven true, you will be happy that you believed because Our Holy Mother asked it: If you believe and it should be proven false you will still receive all blessings

159

as if it has been true because you believed it to be true.
          Tanquerey, a recognized theologian and one of the most eminent, cites the following in his textbook for seminarians, not as an opinion, but as the teaching of the Church: ‘Private revelations which are certain must be believed by those to whom they are made, or by those for whose benefit they are made, and even most probably by those to whom they are not directed, provided they are supported by sufficient arguments. For we must believe what we know for certain has been revealed by God, because of the respect due to the authority of God; but when revelation, even private, is presented to us with sufficient arguments, for example, miracles, we know with certainty that it has been revealed by God.’
          The Rosary, the Brown Scapular and the Green Scapular were given to us through Private Revelations, likewise the Devotions to the Sacred Heart and to the Immaculate Heart of Mary."
          The following are the words spoken from the throne of the Basilica Of Saint Martin and were published in a pamphlet shortly afterwards. They Were spoken by His Excellency, the Bishop of Liege, Belgium, regarding The apparitions of the Most Holy Virgin at Banneaux from January 15 to March 3, 1933.
          "Regarding this event," His Excellency said, "I should like to warn you against a twofold indifference: Indifference toward the fact itself and indifference towards our personal share in the recognition of the fact."
          1.  Let us not be indifferent to the fact: "Does not everything merit our interest that is of such a nature as to quicken faith, enliven piety, increase confidence, convert and save souls? … Faith teaches us that the Blessed Virgin is in Heaven, that she reigns there in glory, and that she nevertheless interests herself efficaciously in her children on earth. But if she comes to visit these children, appearing to one or to several of them … is that not a sensible proof of the compliant goodness and the motherly care of our Mother in Heaven? Such news certainly does not leave me indifferent, and anyone who has a filial love for the Blessed Virgin must share my emotion. And undoubtedly, one of the first effects of this emotion will be the desire to know these facts better, to examine them thoroughly, and to contribute as much as we can to bring them to light.
          2.  Let us not be indifferent to the recognition of the fact: "Here we meet with the second of the indifferences denounced above, the attitude of: It’s up to the Church to bring these facts to light. Let the Church do it. In the meantime, I’ll not make it my concern. Yes, it’s up to the religious authority to give an authentic decision to such facts, if it judges a decision to be opportune. Suppose your unanimous desire is realized and the tribunal ‘approves’ … don’t you see the great effect of that sentence? It would be a source of great joy for millions of the faithful: It would put an end to the doubts of many; it would give a new and lasting impetus to the cult of the Blessed Virgin … but that is still in the future. Must we simply wait for it with our arms folded? Certainly not! In the first place, it is not necessary for us to have an authentic judgment of the Church in order to admit the truth of the apparitions. We can accept them either on the basis of a personal study of the facts themselves, of their development and their effects; or on the authority of persons whose knowledge, prudence and piety we know, or on the basis of special favours which we might have received. … This personal conviction may be expressed in private acts of piety. Do not forget that the important, final decision must be pronounced by men."

          "Father, was the Third Secret of Fatima ever known?"

          It was known verbatim by very few. The actual words of Our Lady were apparently "dropped into a deep hole" by the agents of Satan within the Vatican Curia. But, as one of our tabloids explained:

          "The Third Secret has not been officially revealed to the world. But Frere Michal, in 1985, published Volume III of his 600-page book, which is entirely about the Third Secret of Fatima. He says that since "a certain number of facts have become know" about the Secret they form "an impressive mass of sure information from which the historian can precisely retrace its entire history and expose its essential content with a considerable degree of certitude.
          This eminent living authority on the Third Secret concludes that it undoubtedly concerns a grave crisis of faith within the Church and the spiritual chastisement this will entail. This was also (and first) the published conclusions of the official archivist of Fatima, Fr. Alonso. And Bishop Amaral of Fatima publicly confirmed these conclusions on his own after speaking with Lucy.
          It is known that the Third Secret begins with the words, "In Portugal, the dogma of the faith will always be preserved, etc." The rest of the Third Secret is "contained" in this "etc." which must go on something like this: "… but in the rest of the world …" (See "The Fatima Crusader," Issue 20: RD 1, Box 258, Constable, NY 12926)
          Confirming these conclusions we have the evidence of heresy and all manner of distortions in the Church today, as well as the words of Pope Paul VI himself, when he stated publicly: "The smoke of Satan has entered the Church." This great tragedy for the world and for souls has now been revealed by Jesus and Mary through their current apparitions at the Vatican Pavilion Grounds in Bayside, NY:
          "I say this evening as your God that on that date as promised at Fatima (1972, through Jacinta) Satan entered my Church upon earth. He brought with him his agents. And Satan, himself, the deceiver of all mankind, sat in on Vatican II and maneuvered all the outsiders to come in and distort my doctrines and distort the truth. At Fatima my Mother tried to warn of this coming event. But who cared to listen. … To this day, to your earth year of 1986, you have not been given, my children, the full secrets as given to the children at Fatima. Therefore, I must make it known at this time to you. If you are perceiving and interested in My Church upon earth, I do not have to explain myself too fully; for you will already know of the chaos that Satan has wrought when he entered My Church. …
          My child and my children, I come once more with an urgent and pleading message to the hierarchy in the Church, My Church upon earth: I want you to know now that we look upon you and find many that do not fall into grace. They are falling out of grace and misleading many of Our sheep. Therefore, I warn you now as your God, you will stop your intricacies within My Church. You will stop experimenting. I gave you the rules to follow many years ago – two thousand years, approximately. And why now 2000 years later do you deem it necessary to change my Church upon earth. I your God say to you, you will be judged accordingly. You will return My Church to its former glory, and in that manner you will have more vocations and more entering the seminaries and not fleeing from them as they hear the heresies and all other innovations that are going on within My Church."

          "Father, is this what Our Lady meant when she said at La Salette in 1846 that "Rome will lose the Faith and become the seat of Antichrist?"

          What she referred to is still in the future, Son. But it was true in a general sense, as I will explain. The enemy was encamped around the Holy Father in the years before the Great Chastisement. They entered in 1972, holding Pope Paul VI prisoner and drugging him from 1975 until his death in 1978.

LA SALETTE- September 19, 1846: Our Lady: "The Vicar of My Son will suffer a great deal, because for a while the Church will yield to great PERSECUTION, a time of darkness, and the Church will witness a frightful crisis."

FATIMA – 1917: "There will also come a time of the hardest trials for the Church. Cardinals will be against Cardinals, and Bishops against Bishops. Satan will put himself in their midst. What is rotten will fall, and what will fall must not be maintained. The Church will be darkened and the world plunged into confusion."

          Canon Law 2335 decrees automatic excommunication for either clergy or laity for joining a Masonic Order. This act, if unrepented, condemns a soul to Hell. Why then did so many Masons infiltrate the Vatican and change centuries of traditions?
          The list of Masons below, with their entrance dates, appeared on the front page of the Puglia Gazette on July 26, 1976. Puglia is near Milan, Italy, which is considered a Communist stronghold.
          Cardinal Danielou had announced that he would reveal a list of Masons. He was found dead four days later. The newspaper published the List nonetheless.
          The Catholic Church was taken over by Mason infiltration in 1972. The troika of this unholy clique was led by Cardinal Giovanni Benelli, the Under Secretariat of State, Cardinal Villot and Cardinal Casaroli, who is the Present Secretary of State. Pope Paul VI was drugged and kept prisoner in The Vatican while an Italian actor appeared in the Pope’s place. Numerous photographs, including these from the book Shepherds Are Lost, attest to the fact that there was an impostor.

Pope Paul VI before 1972: Long, straight nose - almost to end of ear lobe. Ear is full and round.	The Impostor: Nose is shorter and more round - reaching only 3/4 length of ear. Ear is longer and not as wide.
Pope Paul VI: Long nose - reaching to the end of ear lobe.	The Impostor: Nose much shorter in comparison to ear.

          Below is a partial list of Masons who gained power in Rome:

NAME	ENTERED MASONRY	POSITION
Cardinal Jean Villot	8-8-66	Secretariat of State; usurped Pope Paul VI’s power.
Cardinal Agostino Casaroli	9-28-57	Present Secretariat of State.

Cardinal Ugo Poletti	2-17-69	Vicar General of Diocese of Rome.
Rev. Pasquale Machhi	4-23-58	Personal Secretary to Pope Paul VI. Excommunicated by Paul VI; but later reinstated by Cardinal Villot.
Rev. Sebastiano Baggio	8-14-57	Picked bishops for dioceses of entire world.
Rev. Levi Virgilio	7-4-58	Vatican radio and L’Osservatore Romano Press.
Rev. Virgilio Noe	4-3-61	Secretary of Liturgy Congregation-Destroyed Latin Mass.

Rev. Paul Marcinkus	8-21-67	Involved in Vatican Bank loss of millions to Masonic controlled Banks. Masonic number 43-649; Masonic name is "Gorilla."

          There is a list of 130 high ranking clergy enrolled in Freemasonry. Most have a secret name and number. The Masons are largely responsible for the destruction of the Church from within. According to the apparitions of Our Lady at Bayside, New York, Pope John XXIII and Pope Paul VI were "laid low" by the enemies of God, and Pope John Paul I "received the horror and martyrdom by drinking from a glass … given to him by a now deceased

162

member of the Clergy and the Secretariat of the State." Cardinal Jean Villot was the Secretariat of State during John Paul I’s pontificate.

          "Were there Masonic clergy in other countries besides Italy, Father?"
          Yes, and these clergy were headed by the papal delegate for that country, who was a Mason appointed by Masons in the Curia. Let me read again:

          "He is the Most Reverend Pio Laghi in Washington, D.C His Masonic number is 0-538. His secret Masonic name is Lapi. He entered Freemasonry 8/24/69, which means he was automatically excommunicated (Canon Law 2335) from the Church – yet he currently chooses her U.S.Bishops! The Pope almost always follows the Apostolic Delegate’s recommendations for the choice of Bishops.
          What are the fruits of the Bishops chosen by the Masonic
Apostolic Delegate?
-- Destroyed or removed the altar of Sacrifice.
-- Removed statues of Angels and Saints.
-- Removed Stations of the Cross.
-- Removed altar-rails.
-- Ignored the pope and Catholic Church Doctrines.
-- Suppressed Novenas, organ music, Gregorian Chant, the Rosary, the Scapular, Apparitions, Sacramentals, Blessings and Indulgences.
-- Lessened reverence to Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament.
-- Replaced the Church Doctrines on sin and Confession with the fallacy that God is Love and does not punish. There is no hell of Purgatory in their new religion of man.

          If Pio Laghi is not a Mason, why does he choose Bishops who have made a shambles of the Church in such a short time? The fact is, the Most Rev. Pio Laghi is a Mason and has done his Masonic task well. He is gradually destroying the Catholic Church in the United States.

          "Didn’t you say once, Father, that an Ecumenical Council in union with the Pope is infallible?"
          Yes, and Vatican II was infallible in its actual documents, properly interpreted. But the potential for ambiguous interpretations had been crafted by the enemy into certain documents by certain phrases, thus providing the means for heretical applications by the Vatican Commissions at a later date which implemented the Council. The current head of the most important Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Cardinal Ratzinger, realized what had happened, as evidenced in this interview with him:

          "… Developments since the Council seem to be in striking contrast to the expectations of all, beginning with those of John XXIII and Paul VI. … What the Popes and the Council Fathers were expecting was a new Catholic unity, and instead one has encountered a dissension which – to use the words of Paul VI – seems to have passed over from self-criticism to self-destruction. … There had been the expectation of a step forward, and instead one found oneself facing a progressive process of decadence that to a large measure has been unfolding under the sign of a summons to a presumed ‘spirit of the Council’ and by so doing has actually and increasingly discredited it.
          … It must be clearly stated that a real reform of the Church presupposes an unequivocal turning away from the erroneous paths whose catastrophic consequences are already incontestable.

163

          … Vatican II in its official promulgations, in its authentic documents, cannot be held responsible for this development which, on the contrary, radically contradicts both the letter and the spirit of the Council Fathers."

          I know what we can read to give you the inside story on this invasion of the Church, Phillip. Hand me the light brown satchel.

THE ANTI-PRIESTS

Adapted from the French by Yves Dupont

          This is the story of a man who wrote his memoirs, about which he had had dreams for many nights until it had become an obsession. He yielded to the urge to write them though not understanding why. "Anyway, it does not matter", he ruminated, "for no one will ever read this; I shall destroy it in due course."
          This man was a Communist agent who became a Catholic priest to better destroy the Church. He was ordained in the early forties, died in the late sixties, and his confessions survived him. He had overlooked one very important fact, however, that no man is master of his own life. He died in a hospital as a result of a car accident. His papers were found in his briefcase, and read by the Catholic nurse who looked after him.
          … "I was fully confident now that I would eventually enter the seminary, and I was already making plans for the future especially as regards my work for the Party. I was to inject into Catholic thinking a whole set of new values and a new train of thought. I was to foster remorse in their hearts, a gnawing sense of guilt, quoting the Gospel: ‘Be ONE as the Father and I are ONE.’ That sense of guilt must grow into an obsession to the point of rehabilitating Martin Luther. They will be made to believe that schisms and heresies were caused by their own intransigence, that the time had come for them to atone and make reparation by throwing their arms open to their Protestant brethren and confessing their own sin of pride and stubbornness. of course, we shall not tamper with the Creed except for the word "Catholic" which must be changed to "Universal" or "Christian" as the Protestants use. But we shall not use the name of God except when necessary. We shall speak of man, stress his dignity and nobility. We must transform the language and thinking pattern of every Catholic. We must foster the mystique of the human race. At first, we shall say that God exists, but we shall point out that God remains forever outside the field of human experience, and experience is what counts for sensate beings. We shall lay much stress on experience and sensory perceptions. The positive, the experimental and the sensorial must be the basis of the new thinking. We shall say that, since God is invisible, the best way to serve Him is to set up a universal Church in which all men can meet as brothers in mutual good-will, love, and understanding. This new mystique must finally obfuscate the concept of God or whom we shall speak less and less, except for saying that we are God because God is in everyone of us. In this manner, we shall re-direct the religious yearnings and superstitions of the people. We shall deify Man …"
          "Once Catholics have accepted this new mystique, we shall tell them to strip their churches bare of statues and ornaments because these things are unessential and abhorrent to their dear Protestant and Jewish brethren. Thus all symbols of Catholic worship and devotion will go by the board, and when they are gone devotions will go too. Yes, we shall promote an iconoclastic zeal especially among the younger generation. They themselves will destroy that jumble of statues, pictures, vestments, reliquaries, organs, etc. It would be a good idea, too, to spread a "prophecy" that says: "You shall see married priests, and you shall hear the Mass in the language of the people." This should make

164

our task easier. We shall incite women to assert their right to the priesthood.
          "All sorts of exciting ideas came surging into my head, and I coded my whole programme before sending it to Moscow. Looking back on these days, I now feel a legitimate pride at having been the first to suggest these ideas to the Party. It is now plain that these were the right ideas, far superior to a mere dialectical attempt at destroying religious belief. Some time later, an order came from Moscow: "New assignment: go to Rome." And so I left Poland for what was going to be my lifetime work …"
          "Once in Rome I met a priest-professor who was in our network. He was a scholar and a scriptural expert. He was then busy preparing a new English version of the Bible, but his work was still secret. In that new version the old cliches about the Virginity of Mary, the Real Presence and like fables were to be adroitly amended and re-interpreted. Instead of "Virgin", Mary will be called "maid". The "brethren" of Jesus will become His "brothers". The "Real Presence" will be explained as a feeling, or experience, when "Christians are gathered together in His name". The notion of "gathering" is an important one to promote the community spirit. Those who do not conform to the Group will be reproved as trouble-makers and bad Christians. We must absolutely stifle individual attitudes if we are to control the Group as we please, and the control of the Group is essential for the establishment of Communism.
          … Later, of course, the mass will be radically modified; we shall play down the sacrificial aspect, we shall exalt it as a meal taken by the Community. In case some reactionary priests refuse to conform, and insist on saying the old prayers, we shall direct that the Canon in its entirety be said aloud. This will also make it possible for the people to say the words with the priests, and once this is possible we shall rule that it is indispensable also. Thus the Mass will cease to be the privilege of the priest alone …"
          "The professor was already working on a draft for a New Order of the Mass, and he urged me to do likewise because, he said, it was greatly desirable that we should give the people different kinds of Masses; this will help destroy unity, the mainstay of Catholic power. …"
          "The merging of all religions and the brotherhood of man, must always be re-asserted as the basic motivation for all the changes. "Love thy neighbor as thyself" will be our scriptural justification. The greatest change, and the most desirable one, is the suppression of the papacy; but this appeared very difficult to me in view of Christ’s promise: "Thou art the Rock, and upon this Rock I shall build My Church." We shall therefore endeavour to undermine the authority of the pope in every possible way, and we shall try to enlist his cooperation to introduce the changes that will make this possible. We shall promote the concept of Episcopal Equality and the priesthood of the laity. When the bishops are elected by the people, and the pope is no more than the president of the bishops, our victory will be near at hand. …"
          "All must be done in the name of love. Also in the name of love, we shall promote the idea that God is far too loving to want His only Son to die a cruel death for us and to want to create an everlasting hell. Christ will be described as a good man and great revolutionary, and hell as a superstitution of the Dark Ages. We shall no longer mention sin, and Angels will be relegated to the realm of mythology and fairy-tales. Once the people cease to fear God, they will soon forget Him. Our task is to promote these ideas among the Catholic elite via the theological journals which we control, and they in turn will promote them in the Church as their own ideas. We shall also encourage many new translations of the Bible; the greater the number of translations, the better; it will help to create confusion. The number of Catholic scholars who are itching to produce their own versions – undoubtedly the best ever produced in their own eyes – is not lacking; all they need is a little prodding from us.

165

We are faced with a huge task; many problems remain to be solved: the Rosary, Lourdes, and the twenty odd feasts of Mary are annoying things, but we shall be patient. In any case, we will have to draw up a new calendar and dispose of many Marian feasts as well as many other Saints. The new calendar must look as bare as the table on which they will say the new Mass …"
          "Such is the substance of the orders which I issued to the network. The following year I began to work on the draft of a new catechism which would be acceptable to all believers. It must be practical, human, noncommittal, and ambiguous. It must stress the humanity of Christ who, in fact, was a brother of ours. But the word "charity" is to be banished absolutely; we shall say "love" instead. Love can be many things, but charity has an intolerable religious connotation. We shall say, of course, that it means the same and the change is more conformable to modern usage. Concerning the precepts of the Church, we shall say that Christians are now fully mature and adult, that the precepts were necessary when the people were ignorant and uneducated, but that it is more fitting to adult Christians to let their own consciences decide. God, in any case, is far too great and remote to worry about our eating meat on Fridays! …"
          "Private confession is a waste of time; we shall promote a communal penitential rite with emphasis on sins committed against our brothers. The precept of Sunday attendance will be modified too. We shall say that, because of the working conditions in this modern age, people need their Sunday to relax in the countryside away from the city’s fumes. They should be allowed to attend Mass on Saturday, even on Friday. God did not say what day was to be reserved. In all cases we shall stress the primacy of the individual conscience over set rules and petty precepts which are unworthy of an adult man and an insult to his dignity. We shall retain the "Our Father" for the time being, but we shall replace "Thee" by "You" and we shall find suitable substitutes for such words as "forgive, temptations, trespasses" and other similar nonsense. The seven sacraments will receive our special attention. The first I would like to abolish is baptism, but it will have to stay for a while; we shall say that Original Sin is not the sin of Adam and Eve who, in any case, never existed; we shall re-interpret it. Baptism, then, will merely be a ceremony marking the coming of a new member into the human brotherhood. We shall do likewise with every sacrament. Concerning marriage, it shall not be refused to those priests who wish to receive it …"
          "In the Mass, the words "Real Presence" and "Transubstantiation" must be deleted. We shall speak of "Meal" and "Eucharist" instead. We shall destroy the Offertory and play down the Consecration and, at the same time, we shall stress the part played by the people. In the Mass, as it is today, the priest turns his back to the people and fills a sacrificial function which is intolerable. He appears to offer his Mass to the great Crucifix hanging over the ornate altar. We shall pull down the Crucifix, substitute a table for the altar, and turn it around so that the priest may assume a presidential function. The priest will speak to the people much more than before: to achieve this, we shall shorten what is now called the Mass proper, and we shall add many readings to what is called the Foremass. In this manner the Mass will gradually cease to be regarded as an act of adoration to God, and will become a gathering and an act of human brotherhood. All these points will have to be elaborated in great detail and they may take anywhere up to 30 years before they are implemented, but I think that all my objectives will be fulfilled by 1974. …"
          "Thus I laboured for twenty long years. Pius XII died in 1958. When John XXIII announced a new council, my interest was greatly stimulated. I reported to my chiefs that this was perhaps the last battle: no effort should be spared. They were obviously of the same opinion because they immediately

166

appointed me to the highest position in the West European network, and they gave me unlimited financial backing through our Bank in Switzerland. Hearing that Pope John had appointed a commission to draw the schemas of the forthcoming Council, I immediately started to work on counter-schemas with the help of avant-garde theologians who had been won over to our way of thinking. Thanks to my contacts I managed to obtain copies of the projected papal schemas: they were terrible! I was in a cold sweat! If these schemas are carried, my work of 20 years will have been in vain. I hastily put the finishing touch to my counter-schemas, and I circulated them. Eventually, they were tabled in the Council. Thanks to the cooperation of some bishops whose thinking had been conditioned previously, the majority of bishops, reactionary but ill-prepared, were completely disconcerted by the highly efficient and coherent interventions of our friends; most of my counterschemas were carried…"
          "But I am not satisfied: many of my schemas, although they were accepted, have been watered down by Pope Paul himself in contempt of the majority vote at the Council. Fortunately, the revised versions contain many ambiguities; in this manner, it will be possible to initiate further changes, alleging that they are in the spirit of the Council. However, we must begin to work for Vatican III even now. Vatican III, as I see it, will mean the destruction of the Church and the death of God … Then, I shall come forward, not to nail Christ upon His Cross, but God Himself into His coffin."

          This perfidity all seems to come from a human origin, doesn’t it, Phillip? But who is guiding this human work? The full Apocalyptic horror of these events must not be lost sight of. The world will not last forever. All these events we are highlighting, from beginning to end, affect the eternal destiny of billions of souls. Time swiftly marches on. Our end is always near.
          A holy mystic of the 20^th Century, Professor Drexel, can give us insight into this drama.
