Anti-Peter Next?
In fact, we take it as a sign from God that the pope’s confessor recently passed away.
And with the pope canceling his weekly audience and the medical experts stating his day-to-day health is no longer predictable, is not the predictable inevitably soon?
We are not doomsayers, nor do we believe the Lord will ever abandon the Rock, but we have stated several times that we must first be prepared for the changing of the guard and, with it, the simple and inescapable fact that while the gates of hell will not prevail against the Church, the Judgment of God can, will and is coming upon her!
(In fact, the ultimate outcome of this Judgment could be the pretext for His Coming to rescue that which is His!)
Why would the judgment of God come upon the Church?
We’re sorry, we guess anyone who asks that question has been living on a desert island for the last 40 years!
Despite what so many Catholics believe who live in a fantasy world, the Church is NOT upholding the Sacred Traditions handed down to us by none other than the Apostles themselves! Nor is it, any longer, rock solid.
We are in a war.
A war in which so many times we ourselves feel in the middle of.
We have the extreme traditionalists who do not even believe that the Throne of Peter has been occupied since Pius XII! (We do not fit in this category.)
Then we have the abusers who want everything from female priests to an end to kneeling during Mass! (We abhor this category.)
Reading Cardinal Ratzinger’s remarks after his interview on EWTN leaves one wondering how we have come to the point where the prefect who is so supposed to guard the sacred faith can give his “stamp of approval” to a movement — the charismatics — born in the heresy of pentecostalism!
How have we come to the point that there is even a discussion as to whether or not we should kneel after receiving Communion?
How have we come to a debate on whether there should be liturgical dancing?
As the Truth comes out — and we believe this is extremely indicative of how John Paul II feels about his legacy — the abuses of the past 40 years are now being reexamined. This review is then called “frightening” by the heretics who currently have control over the Church (we are not speaking of the pope, but of many of his underlings, whether he knows it or not).
A perfect example is we were in a private meeting with a confidant of the Holy Father when someone asked how is it that “altar girls” came to be?
The answer was quite revealing.
John Paul II NEVER approved of having altar girls brought into the liturgy. That was done without his knowledge and a fait accompli that left the pontiff holding the bag: did he publicly want to rebuke this new “innovation” or did he wish not to cause a further division in a Church that is so deeply divided we cannot even agree between those who believe in Fatima and those who believe in Medjugorje!
Now, in his waning years, John Paul II, perhaps out of some concern for his legacy, wants the question of altar girls formerly reviewed and, if we’re blessed, removed from the sacred liturgy.
(Those who think this is a harsh statement, since the Mass is based on the Passover feast which Christ Himself instituted, please indicate the role of girls during that ceremony. As Jesus once said to a visionary, if He could have women as priestesses, He would have appointed His Mother first and foremost — but His Father will not permit it!)
We have pointed out that we feel John Paul II has known for many years that he is sitting on a powder keg. And, in that knowledge, he has done, as “Mary’s pope,” what the Queen of Heaven has asked: RECONCILIATION! Because, as Jesus Himself told us through St. Faustina, before He comes as the Just Judge, He first comes as the King of Mercy. (An act already behind us and history as Jesus opened wide the gates of His Mercy in the Great Jubilee Year!)
Reconciliation: it is John Paul II’s pontificate summed up in one word, whether on a global scale, within the Universal Church itself, or extending it to those branches that have broken away.
Reconciliation: it is best viewed in the photo of John Paul II interacting with his would-be assassin, Mehemet Ali Agca, as the pope offered forgiveness for an unforgivable crime. (And let us not forget that Agca was previously serving time in a Turkish prison before his escape for the murder of a newspaper editor!)
Reconciliation: John Paul II has completed his mission.
Not perfectly, but as best as humanly (and humanely) possible.
When the world was approaching the Great Jubilee Year, we knew, as the Vicar of Christ and at the instruction of the King Himself, John Paul was bringing the greatest gift to the world since the Redemption itself: Divine Mercy. Divine Mercy not only available as a feast since 1995, but in every Jubilee Door throughout every Catholic Church in every single nation of the world!
It was the work of Christ Himself as written throughout the diary of St. Faustina and viewed so incredibly in the Divine Mercy Image.
Reconciliation in the act of Divine Mercy: it is one of the greatest accomplishments of any pontiff since Peter.
To ensure the work would not falter, John Paul II turned to the only One who could guarantee its result.
In the greatest act of his pontificate, Mary’s pope consecrated the 3rd Millennium in the Great Jubilee Year to the Immaculate Heart of the Mother of Mercy on October 8 in St. Peter’s Square before the pilgrim statue of Our Lady of Fatima!
We were privileged to be there, to have recited the Rosary with the Holy Father the day before on October 7, with a very special guest who, by satellite TV, led the crowd in the 5th Glorious Mystery, the Crowning of Mary. That special person was none other than Sister Lucia, the sole-surviving seer of Fatima.
The spirits of those around us knew we had witnessed something monumental.
Perhaps, one had to be there to comprehend the feeling.
For it was then that we realized John Paul II had lit a torch — a torch that was the beginning flame of the promised Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
We weren’t sure just what John Paul II could do to top this event.
We were pretty sure he wasn’t supposed to.
We weren’t even sure how much longer God would take before He took one of the longest reigning pontiffs in history home to his eternal reward.
Now we are sure.
It is not long off.
And John Paul II knows it.
He knows it as he asks for a reexamination of the liturgy and Eucharistic celebration, trying to weed out that which in false and heretical experimentation has abused our Lord in His own Home, the Tabernacle.
But the ailing pontiff is not finding allies.
Instead, he finds the same deceptive practice in which many speak one way to his face and fail to do or purposely omit doing that which he believes will be done.
It was best observed by Bill O’Reilly as he investigated why John Paul II failed to act more decisively in the sex abuse scandal. As O’Reilly reported, when the news was given to the pontiff that the rug had been pulled out from under former cardinal Law’s empire and the disgraced Boston cleric would be forced to resign, John Paul screamed at the aide: “You told me this would be handled properly!”
O’Reilly was told the Holy Father then retreated and went off to prayer, leaving Bill to question whether John Paul was really running the show anymore.
John Paul has not been running the show for quite some time now. Perhaps since the Great Jubilee Year.
Instead, bishops who no longer feel a responsibility to the Magisterium are running the show. There is no one, including Ratzinger, to rein them in. Their rebellion is apparent in their lack of concern regarding the institution of the Divine Mercy Feast in every parish throughout every dioceses in the world. (There will be no excuses for this one before the Just Judge!)
This rebellion has occurred for one simple reason.
It is one of the greatest faults of John Paul’s pontificate: a democratization of a Church that should, in reality, be a theocracy.
A theocracy in which the Head of the Church, Christ, speaking through His deputy, the pope, steers the ship of state as the King sees fit.
But it is no longer so.
The King, as in Divine Mercy, speaks; the deputy informs, celebrates, canonizes, but hardly anyone in the hierarchy listens and very few act. (We actually did a presentation on the Shroud to a parish in 2002 and NOT ONE person knew Faustina had been canonized! In fact, one priest actually disputed us on the subject!)
This poison of democratization has now gone too far.
There is, we believe, no turning back.
In this reality, when John Paul II faces his God and our God, he will certainly be rewarded for his unwavering Marian loyalty.
But he will leave a Church in a fractured condition he tried desperately to avoid after his mistake of the excommunication of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre and the Society of St. Pius X. A condition in which John Paul II did everything, including looking the other way at abuses such as “altar girls,” to keep the Catholic Church from fracturing any further.
He is, to us, like a cork in the bottle.
Unfortunately, the contents of the bottle is not champagne, but beer with a yeast that, like the pharisees, we must be extremely wary of.
When the leavening is complete, who will sit on the Throne of Peter?
We all know that the antichrist is far more subtle than anyone believes, while the anti-Mary is far more blatant than anyone sees.
So we will ponder: is this now the time for the anti-Peter to raise his head?
Instead of a pontiff who will fix the schisms, raise up and exalt the Truth found in 2,000 years of Tradition, while condemning those who abuse the liturgy and discard what the Saints have taught, will we find ourselves saddled with a pope who will sink deeper into the abyss known as “ecumenism”?
Even worse, a pope who will open the floodgates to an agenda that will make the pedophile scandal a memory of the past?
Again, we are not doomsayers, but we must, instead of living in the comfort of a fantasy world — a world proven to be unrealistic by the reign of a pope like Alexander VI — be prepared that we may not be moving into a “springtime” for the Church.
Not even the watered-down “springtime” Ratzinger spoke of.
Instead, we may be moving into the dead of winter.
A winter in which the Lord will chastise that which is displeasing Him as He chastised Israel and the pharisees with the destruction of their Temple.
A destruction brought about by their rejection of the Son.
After the pontificate of the Marian pope, John Paul II, will we, in the Catholic Church, find ourselves in a similar position as the pharisees of 2,000 years ago?
A Church that rejects the profound worship of the Eucharist in the Mass and the respect and reverence due to the Mother of the Eucharist.
As time keeps slipping further into the blackness of tomorrow and John Paul II’s health becomes more and more critical, we may find ourselves, as Ratzinger has already indicated, ignoring, like the pharisees did, not only the Son, but the Son’s Mother.
For has this hierarchy not already done so from Fatima to Our Lady of America?
In this sad, dark light, the likelihood of the Final Marian Dogma being propagated by an ailing pontiff with little or no support among the bishops of the world, including Ratzinger himself, keeps slipping quickly away. It is akin to Jesus asking the question will He find faith on the Earth when He returns.
For those waiting for the propagation of the Final Marian Dogma with Mary proclaimed as the Co-Redemptrix, Mediatrix of All Graces and Advocate of the People of God, enjoy the chastisement of the “growing” charismatic renewal, instead.
A chastisement given to a Church that has truly turned its back on its God and His Mother, wanting to raise its hands and sing, babbling like idiots, instead of falling on its knees in heartfelt prayer.
We believe, as the inevitable end of John Paul’s pontificate becomes more and more a reality, the Judgment of God will come upon a Church for a litany of sins — from the pedophile scandal to liturgical abuses.
Sins which ultimately point to Mary’s warning from La Salette: “Rome will lose the faith and become the seat of the antichrist!” (Imprimatur Bishop Zola of Leece, France, 1879.)
Does anyone think Mary made that statement just for shock value?
In the upcoming reign of the anti-Peter, this, then, will be a Divine Judgment that will remove God’s Hand of Protection from a Church that has removed Him from the Center of His Altar.
And it will be a reign which could culminate in the final triad in the leg of an unholy trinity that will find the antichrist not reigning from the rebuilt Temple in Jerusalem, but from, as Mary warned, the Throne of Peter.
