Having just returned from a terrific weekend in Chicago for the Catholic Family News Conference, I offer here some commentary taken from the presentation that I gave entitled, “The prophetic warning of Cardinal Eugenio Pacelli and the virtual enthronement of man.”
CD’s of that talk, and all of the others, will be available soon. I’ll post a link then.
In the meantime, St. Paul tells us that the last days will be “dangerous times.” Just wait until you find out why…
Dear readers,
–
FYI (on topic too) I posted a new forum topic a few weeks ago titled, “Traditional Catholic Teaching on the End Times” on the “All things Catholic” section with a couple of magnificent talks on the teachings by St Robert Bellarmine (which in turn are a summary of the church fathers and other holy doctors of the faith).
CD’s now available here:

Louie, I’m wondering if we might read this in our day as a condemnation of “silly women” who have degraded two generations of their fellows through feminism, and who bulldoze men into an effeminate culture by their aggression. And dangerous bishops, including the Bishop of Rome who insist in allowing aggressive women into the hierarchy – advising at the Curial level no less. Are women deacons far behind?
–
Dangerous times, indeed.
Okay, I get it, for our shepherds are 98% a sorry lot of men–so craven to the world and in some instances allowing, even enabling the wolves to maul the sheep. But who are these legions of silly women? The nuns on the bus, certainly, and in the public square the despicable Nancy Pelosi, but would a fair assessment of the state of catechesis in the West impugn the majority of women religious ed teachers? Personally, I’ve encountered some very apostate religious education teachers who are women, yet I never tried to determine how widespread this problem was. I guess with the double whammy of Vatican II and feminism, it’s not a stretch to say women have destroyed the Church in America at least because they have not properly catechised our young.
“… would have thought the man had been beaten & stoned enough by this point in his life” – LOL!
I guess when you think of it, with American Catholic women contracepting and aborting at the same rates as the wider culture, it’s not surprising the women of the Novus Ordo Church have laid waste to the Catholic landscape. I’m a woman and you menfolk need not cower from this truth. Together traditional Catholic women and men must rebuild the Church. Louie, no need for you to be coy either. Call out these hateful, ball-busting witches for they still are spreading their poison.
Dear Louie,
Our Bible footnoted 2nd Tim. 6 with a letter of St. Jerome- responding to a friend (Ctesiphon) about heresies. He wrote that heretics continue to deceive the simple and untaught with nothing really new–“They cannot, however, deceive theologians who meditate in the law of the Lord day and night”.
___
He also made his your point about the females, with an historic list of examples:
-Simon Magus founded his sect with the help of the harlot Helena.
-Nicholas of Antioch -that deviser of all uncleanness -was accompanied by bands of women.
-Marcion -to prepare men’s minds to fall into his snares -sent a woman before him into Rome.
-Apelles -in his false doctrines -possessed an associate: Philumena.
-Montanus, that mouthpiece of an unclean spirit- used two rich and high born ladies Prisca and Maximilla first to bribe and then to pervert many churches.
__
“Leaving ancient history, he said, I will pass to times nearer to our own.”
– Arius instent on leading the world astray began by misleading the Emperor’s sister.
– Donatus defiled with his polluting baptism many unhappy persons throughout Africa- helped by the resources of Lucilla.
– The blind man Elpidius was led into the ditch in in Spain-by the blind woman Agape. -Priscillian, an enthusiastic votary of Zoroaster and a magian before he became a bishop -had his efforts seconded by a woman named Galla, who left a gadabout sister to perpetuate a second heresy of a kindred form.
____
In that same letter, he made a comment about the kind of “aped-humility” we see everywhere today:
“many.. have been deceived into a pride which apes humility and have said with the devil: “I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will be like the Most High.” Can there be greater presumption than to claim not likeness to God but equality with Him?”
======
A modern example comes to mind ( from an article linked yesterday by Servant of Our Lady”) in which ” the most senior woman at the Vatican”
(Sociologist/Prof. Margaret Archer lambasted a Pro-life leader/-Stefano Gennarini, for protesting the Vatican Reps’ caving- in to using U.N.terminology regarding Abortion [as reproductive “health” and “rights]

Her reply called his concerns “distorted criticism” and said “it raises some very serious questions about your understanding of Catholic Social Doctrine”.
“Is your sole concern with human dignity confined to the period between conception and live-birth?” she asked.

======
yes, thrones have been exalted above the stars of God…

And the males have their Cardinal Marx es:
On Adulterers and Communion for the unrepentant:
“Some bishops at the synod said, ‘They are living in sin.’ But others said, ‘You cannot say that somebody is in sin every day. That is not possible.’
“It is important the Synod does not have “the spirit of ‘all or nothing.’ It is not a good way.”
___
Asked about the fact that Jesus Christ presented the indisollubility of marriage so definitively and clearly:
..[I have] consulted with “many experts,” including canon lawyers and theologians, on the subject. There are DIFFERENT positions.”
“We have to use our imagination in asking, ‘Can we do something?’… The focus must be on how to welcome people.” “This whole pontificate has opened new paths. You can feel it.”
=====
The wrath of God is something you can feel, too.
Ave Maria…
Should we be asking if these are the end times? Or should we ask: where is the Church?
I recently quoted the Catholic Encyclopedia on “Apostolicity” as follows:
“[I]f the Church of Christ still exists it must be teaching His doctrine“.
Here is an example of the Church “still existing”. In the early nineteenth century, theologian Fr. Louis Bautain claimed that divine revelation is the only source of certainty. He was obliged to retract this claim because it makes our faith appear irrational. We have to be certain that God exists before we can believe in divine revelation, so revelation cannot be the only source of certainty. (The Church confirms this common sense in her definitive teaching.)
Enter Eugenio Scalfari, who asks the straightforward question: is it erroneous to hold that there is no absolute truth? Bergoglio replies:
“I would not speak about ‘absolute’ truths, even for believers…. Truth, according to the Christian faith, is the love of God for us in Jesus Christ. Therefore, truth is a relationship”.
This is the same circular argument that was condemned in Bautain. We have to be certain that God exists before we can appeal to an argument based on Catholic faith. And philosophy does in fact confirm the absolute truth that God exists.
The difference between Bautain and Bergoglio is: who has asked Bergoglio to retract this (or any) statement that makes our faith appear irrational? As far as I have found, only the SSPX, though I am certain that Bp. Sanborn agrees with their response.
This tells me that these need not be the end times. The Church still exists, but only where Christ’s doctrine is actively being upheld.
Dear Dumb_ox,
Please post many more comments than you usually do, for our benefit.
It’s coming. Words are now changing how we think. Soon the law will attempt to force us into silence, then into thinking the ‘correct’ way. (see today’s Vortex – Voris articulates well the reality that is HERE.)
–
IF, what you present above is chilling. There really is nothing new as you show. But how frightening to hear this evil coming out of the mouth of a prince of the Church – and right now!!
–
I used to think this would all stop – that Our Dear Father in Heaven would just put out His Finger and make it stop. Now I see that the times will get worse and worse – we see things get deeper and deeper into evil without being able to do anything.
–
Yes, prayer and daily offering of The Son to The Father at Holy Mass – as Jesus is the High Priest and Victim – the only sacrifice perfect enough for praise and thanksgiving, but also to a lesser degree (because it is us offering) for propitiation and petition.
–
Are we in the End Times? Only God knows. Even if the end is not coming, each day might be our ‘end time’ and frequent Confession and Holy Communion are the only things that will save us if today is our last.
Some good books:
–
The End of the Present World by Father Charles Arminjon, published in 1881 reprinted by Sophia Press;
–
The Deceiver – Our Daily Struggle with Satan by Father Livio Fanzaga (Italy’s Radio Priest) published by Roman Catholic Books;
–
and one as a great antidote to the evils of feminism: Man, The Saint by Father J. Urteaga Loidi published in 1959 by Roman Catholic Books.
Dear Peter,
Thank you for that.
Barbara,

I think we can distinguish between the “End Times” and the “end of the world”. We are living, I believe, in the former period of time, that which precedes the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, indirectly alluded to in Sacred Scripture as the thousand year reign of peace (the number of years not to be taken literally of course, but a long period of time). This was the exegesis of Fr Herman Kramer in “The book of destiny”, even if he didn’t exactly allude this period of peace as the “Pax Mariana” or the triumph of Our Lady’s Immaculate Heart.
–
The “end of the world” (no the “End Times”) is described in Revelation 20:7-10, the preceding chapters 9-20 leading up to this great climax (now we would be living in the last events described in chapter 9).
Dumb Ox,
–
The church is too be found in the modern “Catacombs” and wherever the light of faith is still be found within the laity anywhere in the world… Regarding whether we are in the “end times” I have some thoughts above in reply to Barbara which you might be interested to read.
–
Thanks for your comment. You have contributed most insightful ideas on this site for a long time. 🙂
Dear a Servant of Our Lady, I’m trying to reply to you here because I wrote a long reply several times on last post under your message to me but none would publish. My phone can’t deal with the long thread on last post and unfortunately, I’ve only access to the mobile site, not the website, since format changed a few months ago. I’ll have to keep this shorter. Thank you!!! Well keep you in our rosaries this week. It’s literally hell here in Ireland. Pray for my 20 year old son who has same chronic illnes as I have, and crisis regarding what are Catholic friends whom he thought he could rely on, compromising publicly with intrinsic evil (lots of anguish as he still wants to associate with them). We got a 2 year stay of execution on foreclosure of mortgage on our apartment yesterday – must be your prayers!! Everyone, please pray for justice and Gods will to be done regarding scandal of Fr Gordon Macarae, 20 years in prison for crime he didn’t commit. And with collusion of evil Churchmen. His website is These Stone Walls – please visit. I’ll pray for your crisis, too, Mr Lamb (baby saver).
Barbara,

“The End of the Present World” might generally be a good book with pious reflections and might make for edifying reading, but I think it’s a good idea to have some background knowledge on the topic before digesting the whole work.
–
As an example, (according to this amazon review):
http://www.amazon.com/Present-World-Mysteries-Future-Life/product-reviews/1933184388/ref=cm_cr_pr_viewopt_kywd?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1&sortBy=helpful&reviewerType=all_reviews&formatType=all_formats&filterByStar=all_stars&pageNumber=1&filterByKeyword=china
the author claims that the Anti-Christ will likely originate from China, whereas we know through the Church Father (and St Robert Bellarmine – see the videos I posted on the forum) that the Anti-Christ will be of Jewish origin (which makes sense as well, because the Jews will worship the Anti-Christ as the “Messiah”.
–
Again – I am NOT saying that this is not a good book, but it will be more rewarding to read with some of the Catholic teaching on this subject already on one’s mind.
Dear Barbara, This scenario is already well underway in Europe, with the help of evil apostates in high places in the visible a Church structure. “Marriage” now means something wholly opposed to the objective truth that the word always and everywhere represented. Like all tyrannical regume’s, they have literally changed the definition of ancient words representing ancient truths to something evil. We must refuse to submit to the corruption of language, which loses all meaning if it cannot be linked to objective truths. 1984 is here, now – with the active help of an apostate hierarchy. Don’t you yet know that two plus two equals five?? Blessed Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle . . .
Cardinal Maradiaga, the great “heralder” of the “yet to arrive true spirit of Vatican II” – head of the “gang of eight”, has been up to no good lately (again), preaching in Santa Clara, California about the “true” mercy that the Church has somehow missed for 2000 years but is now started to wonderfully blossom as a result of the conciliar revolution…
–
“Cardinal Rodriguez Maradiaga asserts that nevertheless we must not go back. In his opinion, a spirit corresponding to the [conciliar] reforms must still be infused, so as to motivate and energize them.”
I’m sure people will not be surprised at what comes next:
“This spirit is mercy. And the pope has just announced a Holy Year of Mercy…. ”
–
http://www.sspx.org/en/year_of_mercy_Maradiaga_fatima_fellay_mercy
–
Bishop Fellay makes some great points in his letter but what he says here is somewhat surprising, if not outright baffling:
“Is he [Maradiaga] the interpreter of Pope Francis’ thought in this conference that was presented three months before the Bull of Indiction of the Holy Year? It is very difficult [???] to tell…”
As much as I respect Bishop Fellay I nevertheless have to ask: at this juncture he has not yet “connected the dots”?
Pretending that Pope Francis is not continually opposing the Deposit of Faith and the Natural Moral Law is dishonest, and of no good to anyone, but likely of great harm to many.
Dear Barbara and In Hoc,
Revelations seems to predict two periods, as In Hoc pointed out. Reading it through in it’s entirety is exhausting but very helpful in discerning that. They seem to overlap in areas, complicating analysis. But we noticed a difference in the numbers affected by plagues and chastisements going from 1/3 , to 2/3 overall. (Another reason Ireland’s fall by a 2/3 majority vote does not bode well) nor the fact that 2/3 of the world’s population claims to be Christian right now, just as Isis is gaining more and more power and still not being “proselytized” and the formerly Christian nations are all busy ousting God from their lives , and more and more water, air, and soil are contaminated by pollution and radioactive waste we didn’t (and still don’t) know how to contain when we started building nuclear facilities that produce it. Bees are disappearing – which are necessary for pollination of crops. Frogs are showing up deformed. Species of animals are becoming extinct. (And we’re on the top of that list. ) We recently discovered that contraceptives are not completely able to be filtered out of the drinking water, which means continual doses of hormones are being ingested by all who drink it. (May explain a lot about the increase in effeminate men these days)
But God is in charge, and the Promises of Fatima and His second coming are things we have His Word on.
___
Bottom line it all, it’s about sin and toleration of sin, and continued sin despite the plagues and chastisements sent to show the world what happens when it turns its back on Revealed Truth and its only means of Salvation, and fails to repent. We who know that are called to offer our sufferings and spread the word about what is causing these outcomes.
–Matthew 24-5 gives this all perspective. Jesus warned of a time when there would be a great scandals and falling away from Faith, charity growing cold in most, and Christians being put to death in the name of doing God’s will. Just as he predicted before the ascension If you love me, the world will hate you… He asked if the Son of Man will find any Faith on the earth when he returns, he asks?
– So, we need to ask ourselves, if we we say with the Prophet:
“As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”? No matter the cost?
—Revelations says” Here is the Patience of the Saints…
Do penance, and perservere to the end in order to receive the heavenly rewards. . (one of our favorites is the white marker on which is written a name known only to God) Interesting thought–that God has a personal nickname for each of us. (Just hope it’s something representative of our “perfected” selves. (Don’t want it to be “lazy bum” or something.)
🙂 🙂
Dear Lynda,
Continually opposing would require every thought, word and deed to oppose it.
We’ve been watching and listening to everything we can gain access to -on many of these modernists. We’ve also been reading more on diabolical disorientation, and as a result we’re convinced you won’t find “continually to be the case in most of them. Even Marx, who seems one of the worst of them right now, has made statements totally in line with Church teachings at times.
–Yes it’s frustrating not to be able to have is completely black and white, but the reality is, the Devil likes to keep it a mixture, to confuse “even the elect” if that were possible.
So it’s not pretending or dishonesty to say he’s NOT continually opposing the Deposit of Faith, it’s facing the actual situation with honesty. How will we ever reach those who know he says good and true things once in a while, if we start denying that fact to ourselves?
You can’t judge his interior any more than we can. Only God knows if a man is totally given over to Satan and is deliberately trying to destroy the Church on his behalf. Our take on this Pope, is that he’s deluded into thinking that what he’s after is in accord with the will of God. If people realize that, it will do them great good. They will understand that they should EXPECT a mixture of truth and falsehoods from him, which is what we keep getting, and they will trust our assessments more and more.
I stand over continual (continuous, no; continual, yes). Yes, he sometimes says things that can be made to conform to the Faith; it doesn’t change his continual opposition. I think he’s fairly consistent in that respect. If he weren’t , he’d really be insane, which he isn’t.
Dear IF, if it’s any consolation, the ratio of the infamous Ireland vote on whether to reject or accept the truth of marriage, was 1.63 to 1. God bless.
Dear Lynda,
We think he’s demonstrated that his personal agenda is to pull down the walls of the Church that were constructed by Our Lord to Protect the Truth and keep God’s enemies out until they repent and accept Revelation and their Salvation. That in itself, is so overwhelmingly destructive, that it goes without saying that he either needs to convert or the Hierarchy needs to remove him.
But we’ve read homilies he’s given that actually do conform to the Faith without needing any alterations– some of which Louie has commented on when talking about how the neo-cons run to quote him to show how “Catholic” he is, while he makes the point that it sadly seems to be the exception, rather than the rule.
At least we agree on the two best solutions. But if he doesn’t change soon, we fear the Fatima prophecy made come to pass, instead.
You are welcome, Lynda.
You have my prayers for all your intentions.
Brilliant Tradwriter, Louie. Unchanging Catholic teaching to combat the spirit of the age (zeigeist).

PS. “And if the watchman see the sword coming, and sound not the trumpet: and the people look not to themselves, and the sword come, and cut off a soul from among them: he indeed is taken away in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at the hand of the watchman.” Ezechial. The ‘watchman’ = the “Bishops” and the ‘people who look not to themselves’ the “silly women”.
I see ‘feminism’ as simply an unholy branch of ‘liberalism’ which enshrines ‘freedom of thought’ = in other words complete ”liberty” to sink in the silly thinking of consumer minds who want, not knowledge of Truth, but a sense of freedom FROM Truth = ‘let’s get unconscious’ goes the song.
If the ‘restrainer’ or ‘one who holds back’ evil is the Pope (given the doctrine infallibility I think there is merit in this exegesis) then we are in the last days of the end times. The glory of Christendom rose by Divine grace and those who received Christendom have, over centuries now, apostatised from it:
–
“Now that the political obstacle embodied by Christianity has been removed by the revolutionary surge, we are at the progressive suppression of the religious obstacle, that is, the Papacy, won over as it is by revolutionary ideas for more than a half-century. And this obstacle against the manifestation of the Man of Iniquity, this mysterious katejon [the restrainer] of whom Saint Paul speaks (2 Thess. 2:7), who delays his coming, seems to me to be precisely the Papacy, light of nations and master of truth. It is only when this obstacle will have disappeared that “the wicked one shall be revealed” (2 Thess. 2:8)……Conclusion. I am overwhelmed to find myself in all conscience forced to write all this. Deeply saddened. Devastated, to be completely honest. I would love for things to be otherwise. To be able to trust and be guided. I have a horror of challenging authority, of dispute, of controversy—it’s not in my nature. Every day I ask the Lord to please shorten this so painful and humanly intolerable situation. Until such time as He deigns to intervene, I cannot remain silent. Yet I would so much like to. More than you might imagine. But I cannot do it, I’d be ashamed of myself. Because the hour is grave. Confusion reigns. The evil is deep. To keep quiet is to become an accomplice. The stakes are high: it is simply to keep the Faith. And to continue to profess it publicly. Inside the Church as outside. To witness to the Truth in face of our contemporaries in the grip of the errors and lies that have become systemic. Institutionalized. We must witness “in season and out of season,” as Saint Paul exhorts us. (2 Tim. 4:2) You know, the word witness, in Greek, means martyr. Today we are there. In the strict sense perhaps not yet in our country, but figuratively, very often and everywhere. I greet you fraternally in the Lord. May He enlighten our earthly journey with His divine light and guide our steps to the glory of His coming Kingdom. Maranatha: “Come, Lord Jesus!” (Apoc. 22:20).” http://www.novusordowatch.org/mileschristi-francis-englis.pdf
PS. the ‘obstacle of the papacy disappearing’ in the link ; the ‘Perpetual successors’ doctrine of Vatican I means that the See of Peter can never become “extinct”. It says nothing of the lengths of time between valid occupations of the Chair of St Peter and in no way precludes a succession of invalid claimants who ‘disappear’ (keep vacant) the seat of the ‘restrainer’.
Question. Are we living in the last days ? My answer Yes. Im suprised to see so few comments on this particular post. I left it a couple of days to see if more would comment but at the moment seems not. Working backwards for a moment (im not possesed although im sure some would disagree) the Antichrist is a man in the flesh that has to take position on the world stage and for the majority will be worshiped by the people as if he was divine. He will use the demonic to show so called miracles which most people will believe his rule will last 3-1/2 years then our lord will return to judge the living and dead. I beleive francis is the precursor to the antichrist the biblical false prophet as the true prcursor to christ was john the baptist so to the devil will mock God with the false prophet. Before the antichirst can take his seat in the false church the false prophet has to get it ready for him. Thats what francis is doing at the monent and after the october synod will be even clearer to see for some not for all. The jews are still awaiting the messiah and the zionists led by satan are preparing the world to receive him he will be the Antichrist. Expect more changes to the new mass to the point of the prophecy spoken of by daniel abomination of desolation the taking away of the sacrafice which is the sacrafice of the mass. Then as our lady said at la sallete her prophecy will become a reality. In short expect even more changes to the new mass a greater falling away from the true faith economic colapose WW3 the Antichrist will make his apperence on the world stage as a great peace maker , introduction of the mark of the beast ( microchip ) people without will not be able to buy and sell without it. The biblical false prophet and Antichrist arent opinions they have to happen and prophecy has to be fullfilled. The arguments only start when like me someone says i think its him or him but the antichrist has to reign so i hope and pray non of us are deceived.
Things for people to look up Apocalypse chapter 2 v 9 & chapter 3 v9 this is the nwo zionists. Look up hugh akins for a traditional catholic view of things the protocols of the elders of zion ,the alta vendita , prophecy of our lady of good success , la sallete the real 3rd secret not been revealed all the usual stuff all those who comment here already know i think its trying to understand that the man of perdition the Antichrist is going to make an apperence soon. I hope im wrong but i honestly think that most catholics cant accept that the Antichrist will come and deceive us and he will have a human body and will deceive with demonic powers. Tin foil hat stuff you may think time will reveal the truth if we live to see it GOD BLESS ALL
Dear Salvemur,
I once watched a video presentation on the strategies of Cultural Marxism designed to destroy Western Christian Civilisation (based on the Kingship of Christ), by a former KGB member. Their methods were very logically planned on all fronts – politics, economics, culture, religion etc., with religion being top on the list. The Jews are the masters of masonry, marxism and their bedfellows. The tenets of the Alta Vendita were implemented, with great patience and the Church infiltrated by judeo-masons and marxists. VII, conciliar popes and NO religion are the fruits of their sustained efforts. Always bearing in mind that destruction of the Catholic Faith is numero uno target number one. If that goes, then controlling the rest is relatively chicken feed. Hence the extreme importance of “… the progressive suppression of the religious obstacle, that is, the Papacy, won over as it is by revolutionary ideas …”
I don’t agree with Miles Christi that the Papacy has been “won over.” That implies that a true Pope has been perverted and proceeds to teach error to the Church, which we know the Holy Ghost will not permit. That option is impossible.
Total sedevacantism would say the chair is empty, there is no Pope, we are in a very extended interregnum. Problem is, then where does the next true Pope come from ? The implications of the various proposed solutions to that question, as previously discussed, are very problematical.
I believe Bishop des Louriers has provided the solution to our problem, in sedeprivationism.
The heretical conciliar popes are popes materialiter, until such time as they are legally deposed by the proper authorities. The perpetual Papal Succession and Vatican I are satisfied. There is no interregnum in terms of Canon Law.
Consequent upon their heresies, the conciliar popes are not Popes formaliter. So, for PRACTICAL purposes the Papacy has been utterly destroyed and the usurpers may teach error to their hearts’ content and seek their ends with impunity. They have invalidated many sacraments and the Mass and triumphantly march forward to the New World Order. The “… obstacle against the manifestation of the Man of Iniquity, this mysterious katejon [the restrainer] of whom Saint Paul speaks (2 Thess. 2:7), who delays his coming … the Papacy, light of nations and master of truth ” has “disappeared” and now “the wicked one shall be revealed” (2 Thess. 2:8)…”
Well put. In other words, the bloke on the corner dressed as a cop, but bought by the mob might flash his badge, yet God isn’t impressed.
Interesting comment because you seem to be trying to take in the ‘big picture’. I reckon that no one who doesn’t want to be deceived can or will be deceived. If we truly are in the ‘last days’ (how long may that be?) we are in a time of deception promulgated publicly by seeming ‘authority’. But God will never give those who seek truth over to lies without recourse – never.

The anti-Catholicism of the Novus Ordo Heirarchy should be evident to every person of Faith by now. But how to respond to that anti-Catholicism is less than evident to most of us. The Truth of Tradition, Scritpure and History is given by God Almighty. Why we think we need to ‘think’ outside of revelation is….wierd.
I generally agree with everything you said above, EXCEPT where you mention that after the coming of the anti-Christ Our Lord will come to judge the living and the dead. Not at all – this is in fact not confirmed from Sacred Scripture.
Chapter 19 of Rev describes the final demise of the Anti-Christ:
“And the beast [the Anti-Christ] was taken, and with him the false prophet, who wrought signs before him, wherewith he seduced them who received the character of the beast, and who adored his image. These two were cast alive into the pool of fire, burning with brimstone.” (v 20)
The early verses of chapter 20 describe the “thousand year” reign of peace with the saints who had been martyred by the anti-Christ (the “Pax Mariana”).
It is not AFTER the “thousand years” have been finished that THE FINAL battle between SATAN (not the Anti-Christ this time) and Christ will take place in “Gog and Magog”. (Rev 20 7:10) Verses 9 and 10 are explicit that when “the devil” is finally cast into the pool of fire and brimstone the Anti-Christ and the false prophet will already have been thrown into the bottomless pit. i.e. we are dealing with two separate events here: the first, the arrival of the Anti-Christ and his final demise, described in chapters 13-19, and THE final battle between Christ and Satan is described in 20:7-10, immediately followed by the last judgment (verses 11-15).
“The jews are still awaiting the messiah and the zionists led by satan are preparing the world to receive him he will be the Antichrist.”
That’s completely correct.
The long awaited “Messiah” of the Jews will indeed be the Anti-Christ. This is the teaching of the Church Fathers and of the doctors of the Church.
Don’t forget the Synod of Bishops – 2/3 majority required, or 66.6%!
Seeing that we have been witnessing almost universal apostasy, from the top down, and the collusion of local and universal church authorities with the secular state and globalist tyrannical powers, there can be little doubt but that we are in that time immediately preceding the False Prophet and the AntiChrist. Lord, have mercy. Reparation! Reparation! Reparation! Blessed Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle . . .
“In other words, the bloke on the corner dressed as a cop, but bought by the mob might flash his badge, yet God isn’t impressed.” Yip, but sadly many innocent, i.e. ignorant, poor NO souls are.
Dear john6,
The Mass is already disappearing big time. Invalidating key Sacraments by altering their forms was an early and crucial step. All bishops consecrated in the NO rite are invalid, as are the priests they ordain, as are the invalid eucharistic consecrations they confect. The Mass is gone from the thousands upon thousands of parishes where the Bugnini mass is said and all those parishes where the TLM is said by invalid priests.
Dear de Maria, Apologies, but my replies to you on previous post would not publish as my phone can’t cope with the long comment thread. I think you answered well enough for anyone to understand. The words alone of the pope were enough to reveal serious errors in something so fundamental as the Holy Trunity, using a most unhelpful ploy of appearing to debunk what he referred to as some “Godspray”, a strawman of no use to explaining the truth. This is, in my opinion, an objective attack on the virtue of Faith, that necessary response of the intellect and will of the person to the revealed object of the Faith. Thank you. I’m not well enough to try to explain further. Others have done so. God bless you.
Dear Lynda,
Thinking of you and praying for you and your son.
I was surprised that you left out a key part of this passage “Now as Jannes and Mambres resisted Moses,”: “For of these sort are they who CREEP into houses, and LEAD CAPTIVE silly women [laden with sins, who are led away with divers desires: Ever learning, and never attaining to the knowledge of the truth]. Now as Jannes and Mambres resisted Moses, so these also resist the truth, men corrupted in mind, reprobate concerning the faith.” 2 Tim 3:6-8 [Jannes and Mambres: The magicians of king Pharao. (Exodus 7:10-12)]
“Because it is like the sin of witchcraft, to rebel: and like the crime of idolatry, to refuse to obey.” 1 Samuel 15:23
Lucifer rebelled against God. He then LED CAPTIVE (seduced) Eve to sin who in turn seduced her husband Adam. I think you are ignoring the satanic/witch craft aspect of VC2 and also the purposeful leading of women into sin by these priests whose rebellion has led them to become warlocks/magicians/tools of Satan.
All the liberal groups (UN, Caritas, Bread for the World, homosexuals) work to change the wives via birth control and telling them they are enslaved to their husbands (need the vote, need to drive, etc.) to get them to go along and then they in turn lead their husbands and children. This is one reason the Muslims are so infuriated. Here are some recent examples of Catholic Church appealing to silly women:

The use of “silly” to describe these women, reminds me of the use in Proverbs of the word “foolish”/”fool” and also of the 5 foolish virgins.
Only one thing worse that they are doing is to corrupt children: I know as a child in the early 70s they were constantly telling me that my parents would not understand the changes, but it was up to us children (who understood nothing)–as they led me to sing guitar songs in front of the sanctuary.
Dear peter
i beleive the new mass is the trojan horse to the 1 world religion i wish every catholic church celebrated mass as before the changes were made to holy week as the sedes do at St Gertrudes. I can only imagine the amount of sacrilage being commited at parishes around the world who celebrate the NO mass especially at this time. But i think the sedes have jumped the gun with daniels prophecy i beleive where bread and wine are used and the words of consecration are said the NO mass is valid. Faith in the real presence is just that faith so prove for you is a theological debate why the NO mass isnt valid . I understand that if theres genuine doubt for theological reasons about a scrament then 1 shouldnt partake but please look at this link below of some recorded eucharistic miracles buenos aires 1992 , 94 & 96 India 2001 mexico 2006 poland 2008 my point is i would use these as scientific evidence of the validity of the NO mass but i dont know of any scientific evidence to show the NO mass invalid
http://www.therealpresence.org/eucharst/mir/engl_mir.htm
Also i think the devil would rather have world wide sacrilage of the blessed sacrament than practically none at all if only priests ordained in the old rite offering the TLM could actually consecrate i would imagine sacrilage to be almost non existent. Then theres the problem of exorcist priests who are ordained in the new rite if not validly ordained would not be able to confer the rite of exorcism over a possessed person but there are priests ordained in the new rite perfoming exorcisms. Which leads to my last point the satanists didnt stop stelling consecrated hosts when the new mass was introduced and by all accounts people who are deeply ivolved in the occult know very well a consecrated host from a piece of bread. I think under francis we will see the prophecy of daniel revealed but in my opinon it hast happened yet. I only attend the TLM i belive the NO mass and sacraments if matter & form are correct to be valid but illicit
Dear TWN, I don’t know if you’re a man or a woman? Yes, I was force fed that heretical stuff as a child too. I always knew it was wrong even if I couldn’t have articulated the objection well as a child. Women were targeted for “reeducation”, and through them, as the lynchpin, marriage and the family (the bastion of Faith and morals). Contraception, abortion, divorce, women abandoning their vital roles as mothers and wives. I think that also indirectly led to the burgeoning of sexual hedonism and depravity, in sodomy, etc., which, when accepted, destroys all sense of right and wrong, of the natural goods of marriage, motherhood, fatherhood, large and strong families growing strong communities living in obedience to God and imbued with natural and theological virtues.
Thank you, Mr Lamb! God bless you. Your sister in Christ, Lyndaz
Dear john6,
“i beleive the new mass is the trojan horse to the 1 world religion …”
So do I, but you can’t say that if you believe that the NO mass is a valid Mass. The trouble is that the words of consecration have been changed and that’s what makes the NO mass invalid. One can get Fr. Cekada’s book “The Work of Human Hands” from St. Gertrude’s and that explains the matter very well. There really is genuine doubt, for theological reasons, about the validity of the NO consecration and mass.
Your scientific approach is very interesting, but I’m not sure we can bank on it. They say that all 153 miracles are recognized by the church, but I am not sure if that is true of the later ones. It is interesting that there are only 5 in recent times out of 153 miracles. All the others were very long before the NO church. You make a very good point, but please remember that satan can also do miracles to mislead us. I would believe those ones recognized by the Church before Vatican II, but I’m not so sure about the ones after Vatican II, because I think they might have been done by the devil, precisely to hoodwink people into thinking the NO mass was genuine. If they were all genuine, then your conclusion must be correct, but I have doubts because of the theological doubts about the NO consecration. I feel safer sticking with the Mass at St. Gertrude’s.
Please remember that one does not have to be a valid Catholic Priest to do exorcisms. Even protestants can do exorcisms, so that is why invalid NO priests can do exorcisms. satan and demons can tell the difference between real and fake hosts for sure, but I’m not sure every dumb ass ordinary satanist can and that’s why they still steal them. The matter of the NO sacraments are generally fine, but they have changed the forms, which is the problem. Thanks for your interesting reply to my comment. God bless you. 🙂
I can really understand where your coming from iv watched the work of human hands by fr cekada and i listen to sermons from sedes priest quite alot. “Even protestants can do exorcisms “pls have a read of this story the priest was ordained in the old rite but i think it could be an intetesting read for any1 https://olrl.org/stories/exorcism.shtml
also we have to be careful because you beleive catholic priests ordained in the new Rite arent really priests so cant confer the sacraments save baptism but then your saying protestants do have the power to confer the rite of exorcism which is only for a catholic priest . An excellent traditional exorcist priest named fr chad ripperger a link to his sermons ere http://www.sensustraditionis.org/multimedia.html
Says hes been called to instances where the possessed person has told the protestant they have no athority. Whats quite interesting is altough a solemn exorcism isnt a sacrament a possessed person can say to even the catholic priest you have no power if the local bishops permission hasnt been given. I know where your coming from with the Devil could be behind the eucharistic miricles of new but it makes us sound more Protestant than ever when we really are and want to be true catholics. Im sure any persons that witnessed these miracles if they were not showing correct reverence or even making sacriliages cummunions after seeing these things with their own eyes would only increase their reverence towards our lord in the blessed sacrament. Peter in all good will i can see you only want to be true to our lord and not offend him as we all want but it would be more of a devilish plan in my opinion to get good solid catholics to doubt his real presence in the eucharist. Agian i beleive its coming soon when daniels prophecy will be a reality but i beleive our lord is still there.
Dear john6,
You have got me stumped on a few points and I am going to have to do a bit of homework. I’m going out today but I will get back to you as soon as I can. Can anybody else help with the points john6 has raised?
Peter a humble response can’t say fairer than that don’t get your friends to gang up on me though (joking) I know they will anyway hahaha. Im busy working today & tomorrow so I will get back with my responses when I can. Again I can’t deny that a sedevacantist has not got a theological reason to cause enough doubt in them not to take a chance with sacraments conferred in the new rite or by priests ordained in the new rite. My main 2 points are Eucharistic miracles that have taken place and if a lay person can’t perform a solemn exorcism which they can’t how does a priest ordained in the new rite do it if he’s only layman in other words instead of a theological approach which is basically an opinion backed with fors and against on both sides there is no physical proof I’m suggesting a Eucharistic miracle is proof and a priest either ordained in the new rite or a priest ordained in the old rite by a bishop who was ordained in the new rite if he performs a solemn exorcism not just deliverance prayers and his successfull the demon knows he has the authority from Christ because he is a catholic priest.
Dear Lynda,
Very sorry to hear that you’re having more health issues. We’ll add some more prayers to our usual for you.
When you’re up to it, we’re curious as to what it was about that homily concerning the Trinity, that you found attacked the Faith? We found another report of it –when he get’s to the Trinity he says:
“There is the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, they are persons, they are not some vague idea in the clouds … This God spray does not exist! The three Persons exist! Jesus is our companion on the journey who gives us what we ask; the Father who cares for us and loves us; and the Holy Spirit is the gift, the extra gift from the Father, that our consciousness does not dare to hope for.”

Granted there is so much more that could be said about them. But what is contrary? Have we missed it?
Dear jonn6,
OK, so now I know that an Exorcist is:
“In general, any one who exorcises or professes to exorcise demons (cf. Acts 19:13); (2) in particular, one ordained by a bishop for this office, ordination to which is the second of the four minor orders of the Western Church.”
Also that “The practice of exorcism was not confined to clerics in the early ages, as is clear from Tertullian (Apology 23; cf. On Idolatry 11) and Origen (Against Celsus VII.4). The latter expressly states that even the simplest and rudest of the faithful sometimes cast out demons, by a mere prayer or adjuration (Mark 15:17), and urges the fact as a proof of the power of Christ’s grace, and the inability of demons to resist it.”
“After a time, as conditions changed in the Church, the office of exorcist, as an independent office, ceased altogether, and was taken over by clerics in major orders, just as the original functions of deacons and subdeacons have with the lapse of time passed to a great extent into the hands of priests; and according to the present discipline of the Catholic Church, it is only priests who are authorized to use the exorcising power conferred by ordination.”
OK, so a Priest should do it, but in a pinch, you, or I could do it, as Catholic laymen. Protestants not included so far. (Catholic Encyclopedia – Exorcist.)
Exorcism:
“Expulsion by adjuration is, therefore, the primary meaning of exorcism, and when, as in Christian usage, this adjuration is in the name of God or of Christ, exorcism is a strictly religious act or rite. But in ethnic religions, and even among the Jews from the time when there is evidence of its being vogue, exorcism as an act of religion is largely replaced by the use of mere magical and superstitious means, to which non-Catholic writers at the present day sometimes quite unfairly assimilate Christian exorcism.”
Still not looking good for Protestants.
“But superstition and magic apart, it is implied in Christ’s answers to the Pharisees, who accused Him of casting out demons by the power of Beelzebub, that some Jews in His time successfully exorcised demons in God’s name: “and if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out?” (Matthew 12:27). It does not seem reasonable to understand this reply as mere irony, or as a mere argumentum ad hominem implying no admission of the fact; all the more so, as elsewhere (Mark 9:37-38) we have an account of a person who was not a disciple casting out demons in Christ’s name, and whose action Christ refused to reprehend or forbid.”
I’m starting to wonder again.
“Holy water, the sacramental with which the ordinary faithful are most familiar, is a mixture of exorcised water and exorcised salt; and in the prayer of blessing, God is besought to endow these material elements with a supernatural power of protecting those who use them with faith against all the attacks of the devil. This kind of indirect exorcism by means of exorcised objects is an extension of the original idea; but it introduces no new principle, and it has been used in the Church from the earliest ages.”
Havn’t got a definitive answer yet – still looking.
Hey john6,
I havn’t come up with a definitive statement, BUT:
1. “…even the simplest and rudest of the faithful sometimes cast out demons, by a mere prayer or adjuration (Mark 15:17),”
2. “some Jews in His time successfully exorcised demons in God’s name:”
3. “we have an account of a person who was not a disciple casting out demons in Christ’s name, and whose action Christ refused to reprehend or forbid.”
OK, so a Catholic CAN exorcise.
An invalid NO priest is still a Catholic in the external forum, so he CAN exorcise.
An old Testament Jew CAN exorcise – they were then the People of God i.e. old time Catholics.
One who was NOT a disciple of Jesus, but who exorcised in Jesus’ Name, DID exorcise successfully.
From the above, I would SPECULATE that an invincibly ignorant Protestant, in his state a sincere disciple of Christ, CAN exorcise.
Eucharistic Miracles to follow.
P.S. Some years ago, I read “The Exorcist” by Fr. Gabriel Amorth. I remember him writing that Protestants were far more aware of exorcism and practiced this ministry much more often than Catholics did. That’s where I got the idea that Protestants could exorcise from. These days some “priests” don’t even believe in the devil, or hell. What a rude surprise is in store for them!
P.P.S. It is interesting that although Nicola Aubrey was exorcised by means of the Blessed Sacrament, today the Instructions of the Roman Ritual prefixed to the rite, advise that: “The Blessed Sacrament is not to be brought near the body of the obsessed during exorcism for fear of possible irreverence; but the crucifix, holy water, and, where available, relics of the saints are to be employed.”
Dear peter still working will respond to your coments soon av a look at this tell me what you think
