What I Know

And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to be delivered; that, when she should be delivered, he might devour her son.
REVELATION 12:4 DOUAY-RHEIMS

The time has come for me to write down what I know. This is the story of how the Roman Catholic Church has fell into its present apostasy and scandals. This story and the details are not unknown to the faithful, and they will find nothing new or exclusive in this essay. What they will find is the story in its completeness as best as I know it. There may be errors in this tale, and I apologize. I am simply writing from the things I have read. Some will dismiss this as superstition and conspiracy theory, but I only have to point at the present calamities that were also conspiracy theories at one time. They are now fact. Satan and his allies in the Roman Catholic Church are devouring the faith and abusing the faithful. Many are losing the faith and falling into schism and apostasy. I hope and pray that this story will reassure and strengthen the faith of those in bewilderment.

I. Our Lady of Good Success

Our story begins in 1599, when the Virgin Mary appeared to Sister Mariana de Jesus Torres in Quito, Ecaudaor, and commanded that a statue be made in her honor. She also made revelations to Sister Mariana, but they were not for her time. Those revelations were for our time. Here are a few of them:
The devil will work to persecute the ministers of the Lord in every way, working with baneful cunning to destroy the spirit of their vocation and corrupting many. Those who will thus scandalize the Christian flock will bring upon all priests the hatred of bad Christians and the enemies of the One, Holy, Roman Catholic, and Apostolic Church. This apparent triumph of Satan will cause enormous suffering to the good pastors of the Church…and to the Supreme Pastor and Vicar of Christ on earth who, a prisoner in the Vatican, will shed secret and bitter tears in the presence of God Our Lord, asking for light, sanctity, and perfection for all the clergy of the world, to whom he is King and Father.  
~
The sacrament of Matrimony, which symbolizes the union of Christ with the Church, will be thoroughly attacked and profaned. Masonry, then reigning, will implement iniquitous laws aimed at extinguishing this sacrament. They will make it easy for all to live in sin, thus multiplying the birth of illegitimate children without the Church’s blessing…. 
~ 
Unbridled passions will give way to a total corruption of customs because Satan will reign through the Masonic sects, targeting the children in particular to ensure general corruption. 
~
The Sacrament of Holy Orders will be ridiculed, oppressed, and despised, for in this Sacrament, the Church of God and even God Himself is scorned and despised since He is represented in His priests. The Devil will try to persecute the ministers of the Lord in every possible way; he will labor with cruel and subtle astuteness to deviate them from the spirit of their vocation and will corrupt many of them. These depraved priests, who will scandalise the Christian people, will make the hatred of bad Catholics and the enemies of the Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church fall upon all priests.
This apparent triumph of Satan will bring enormous suffering to the good Pastors of the Church, the many good priests, and the Supreme Pastor and Vicar of Christ on earth, who, a prisoner in the Vatican, will shed secret and bitter tears in the presence of his God and Lord, beseeching light, sanctity and perfection for all the clergy of the world, of whom he is King and Father. Further, in these unhappy times, there will be unbridled luxury which will ensnare the rest into sin and conquer innumerable frivolous souls who will be lost. Innocence will almost no longer be found in children, nor modesty in women.
In this supreme moment of need of the Church, the one who should speak will fall silent!
The revelations of Our Lady of Good Success are a goldmine for our time. In this revelation, the Blessed Virgin reveals to us what is coming but also gives hope of triumph. These secrets have been hidden for some time, but they are being revealed now in a time when they are sorely needed. And, yes, this is an approved apparition. The details from these messages are uncannily accurate.

The gist of the message of Our Lady of Good Hope is that Freemasonry will cause a corrupting influence in society and the Roman Catholic Church. Remember, these revelations came at a time when the masonic sect had yet to become a formidable force in the world. Priests will be corrupted while good priests would be persecuted. Innocence would disappear among women and children. When a first grader can tell you where the porn is on the internet and tell you of all its varieties, you know this prophecy is now true.

II. Our Lady of La Salette

Our story continues in 1846, when two children in France at La Salette discovered a woman weeping on Mount Sous-Les Baisses. This woman gave secrets to these children pertaining to sins and abuses in their time. Upon investigation, it was concluded that this weeping woman was the Virgin Mary. Her message was concerned primarily with respecting the name of God and the Lord's Day. She predicted the potato famine which was coming shortly and other calamities stretching into our day. Her most striking prophecy speaks of our time:
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 honors and pleasures, and 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.
That is strong stuff. Yet, we see all of this today with sodomite priests and prelates, irreverence to the extreme in the Novus Ordo, and the propagation of heresies, errors, and immorality. Our Lady revealed that Rome would become the seat of the antichrist. Then, there is this:
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 will lose many souls.
That is a telling prophecy because it describes when the Devil began his diabolical strategy of slow corruption of Catholicism.

III. Pope Leo XIII

In 1878, Pope Leo XIII was seated on the Chair of St. Peter and would remain there until 1903. He was a good pope, and I have to wonder why he was never canonized. I think he was a more likely candidate than Pope St. John Paul II or Pope Paul VI. But canonizations are politicized today and done for the sake of less than pure motives. Pope Leo XIII will never be canonized in our time because of this politicization of the process. This is because Leo was the implacable foe of Freemasonry.

Under Leo's direction, the book Grand Orient Freemasonry Unmasked was written and published. It's original title was The War of Antichrist with the Church and Christian Civilization. You can get a free copy here. The book details the diabolical nature of Freemasonry, the incompatibility of Freemasonry and Catholicism, and the diabolical plans of the Freemasons to subvert the Christian world and the Roman Catholic Church. It is at this point where you are thinking to yourself that I have veered into the realm of conspiracy theory. So, I need to take a bit of time to explain things.

This book was written under papal direction and approval. Pope Leo XIII paid for it out of his own pocket. He would also condemn freemasonry in papal documents joining the many other pontiffs who called out the masonic cult. Freemasonry is a religion, and it is the religion of Satan and the Antichrist. Its main features are a call for religious indifferentism, ecumenism, and submission to secular one world government which now exists as dominating superstate systems like the EU. Basically, the aim of Freemasonry is to rebuild the Tower of Babel.

The tinfoil hat crowd has been screaming about this stuff for decades, but they are dismissed as nut jobs. Some of their conspiracy theories are off base, and they get things wrong. But where their brains may be wrong, their gut is right. They know the globalists are the bad guys.

The Roman Catholic Church knows these Freemason types are the bad guys, too, and have known it for a very long time. So, the Freemasons wish to destroy the Catholic Church. They began externally to no avail, so they have opted to subvert the Church internally. This was revealed in the Masonic document known as The Permanent Instruction of the Alta Vendita which Pope Leo XIII had published at his direction and can be found in Grand Orient Freemasonry Unmasked. You can read a nice book about the Alta Vendita here.

The instruction details a plan of subversion with the ultimate aim of getting a Pope that was to the liking of the secret societies. Here is the relevant quotation from the Alta Vendita:
The Pope, whoever he is, will never come to the secret societies; it is up to the secret societies to take the first step toward the Church, with the aim of conquering both of them.
The task that we are going to undertake is not the work of a day, or of a month, or of a year; it may last several years, perhaps a century, but in our ranks the soldier dies and the struggle goes on.
We do not intend to win the Popes to our cause, to make them neophytes of our principles, propagators of our ideas. That would be a ridiculous dream; and if events turn out in some way, if Cardinals or prelates, for example, of their own free will or by surprise, should enter into a part of our secrets, this is not at all an incentive for desiring their elevation to the See of Peter. That elevation would ruin us. Ambition alone would have led them to apostasy, the requirements of power would force them to sacrifice us. What we must ask for, what we should look for and wait for, as the Jews wait for the Messiah, is a Pope according to our needs...
With that we will march more securely towards the assault on the Church than with pamphlets of our brethren in France and even the gold of England. Do you want to know the reason for this? It is that with this, in order to shatter the high rock on which God has built His Church, we no longer need Hannibalian vinegar, or need gunpowder, or even need our arms. We have the little finger of the successor of Peter engaged in the ploy, and this little finger is as good, for this crusade, as all the Urban IIs and all the Saint Bernards in Christendom.
We have no doubt that we will arrive at this supreme end of our efforts. But when? But how? The unknown is not yet revealed. Nevertheless, as nothing should turn us aside from the plan drawn up, and on the contrary everything should tend to this, as if as early as tomorrow success were going to crown the work that is barely sketched, we wish, in this instruction, which will remain secret for the mere initiates, to give the officials in the charge of the supreme Vente (Lodge) some advice that they should instill in all the brethren, in the form of instruction or of a memorandum.
Now then, to assure ourselves a Pope of the required dimensions, it is a question first of shaping him... for this Pope, a generation worthy of the reign we are dreaming of. Leave old people and those of a mature age aside; go to the youth, and if it is possible, even to the children. You will contrive for yourselves, at little cost, a reputation as good Catholics and pure patriots.
This reputation will put access to our doctrines into the midst of the young clergy, as well as deeply into the monasteries. In a few years, by the force of things, this young clergy will have overrun - all the functions; they will form the sovereign's council, they will be called to choose a Pontiff who should reign. And this Pontiff, like most of his contemporaries, will be necessarily more or less imbued with the Italian and, humanitarian principles that we are going to begin to put into circulation. It is a small grain of black mustard that we are entrusting to the ground; but the sunshine of justice will develop it up to the highest power, and you will see one day what a rich harvest this small seed will produce.
In the path that we are laying out for our brethren, there are found great obstacles to conquer, difficulties of more than one kind to master. They will triumph over them by experience and by nearsightedness; but the goal is so splendid that it is important to put all the sail to the wind in order to reach it. You want to revolutionize Italy, look for the Pope whose portrait we have just drawn. You wish to establish the reign of the chosen ones on the throne of the prostitute of Babylon; let the Clergy march under your standard, always believing that they are marching under the banner of the apostolic keys. You intend to make the last vestige of tyrants and the oppressors disappear; lay your snares (nets) like Simon Bar-Jona; lay them in the sacristies, the seminaries, and the monasteries rather than at the bottom of the sea: and if you do not hurry, we promise you a catch more miraculous than his. The fisher of fish became the fisher of men; you will bring friends around the apostolic Chair. You will have preached a resolution in tiara and in cope, marching with the cross and the banner, a revolution that will need to be only a little bit urged on to set fire to the four corners of the world.
Those familiar with the recent history of the Church and the current state of affairs with the modernists and Pope Francis are having a light bulb moment as they realize that these Freemasons have succeeded in their aims.

I could probably end the tale here. But wait, there's more. There is a whole lot more. We are merely getting warmed up here.

On October 13, 1884, Pope Leo XIII had a vision during Mass that deeply disturbed him. The vision was of demonic spirits infiltrating and filling the Vatican. One story says that Leo heard the following exchange between Jesus and the Devil:
"I can destroy your Church.”
“You can? Then go ahead and do so.”
“To do so, I need more time and more power.”
“How much time? How much power?
“75 to 100 years, and a greater power over those who will give themselves over to my service.”
“You have the time, you will have the power. Do with them what you will.”
Did this vision occur? Did this exchange take place? Some doubt it happened, but I believe it did. As for the 75 to 100 years thing, Vatican II was summoned 75 years after this in 1959. In response to the vision, Pope Leo XIII commanded that the St. Michael Prayer be recited after each Low Mass. Here is the shortened form of that prayer so many Catholics know today:
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
The Prayer to St. Michael would be discontinued at Vatican II. It is seeing a resurgence today in response to the sex abuse crisis that is engulfing the Church now.

IV. Pope St. Pius X

Upon the death of Leo XIII, the good pope was succeeded by that lion, Pope St. Pius X. Pius was an awesome pope, and he is my personal favorite of all the deceased pontiffs. All popes should aspire to emulate his example. He was a real man and a true saint.

Pope St. Pius X detected the heresy of modernism creeping into the Roman Catholic Church and sounded the warning in Pascendi calling it the "synthesis of all heresies." Basically, modernism is the Freemason religion injected into the Catholic Church. We recognize it today in its various guises of false ecumenism, liberation theology, secularism, and acceptance of all sexual immorality especially the sodomitic filth of LGBTQ. Pius saw it coming, and he demanded that all Catholic personnel swear the Oath Against Modernism:
Given by His Holiness St. Pius X September 1, 1910.
To be sworn to by all clergy, pastors, confessors, preachers, religious superiors, and professors in philosophical-theological seminaries.
I firmly embrace and accept each and every definition that has been set forth and declared by the unerring teaching authority of the Church, especially those principal truths which are directly opposed to the errors of this day.
And first of all, I profess that God, the origin and end of all things, can be known with certainty by the natural light of reason from the created world (see Rom. 1:90), that is, from the visible works of creation, as a cause from its effects, and that, therefore, his existence can also be demonstrated:
Secondly, I accept and acknowledge the external proofs of revelation, that is, divine acts and especially miracles and prophecies as the surest signs of the divine origin of the Christian religion and I hold that these same proofs are well adapted to the understanding of all eras and all men, even of this time.
Thirdly, I believe with equally firm faith that the Church, the guardian and teacher of the revealed word, was personally instituted by the real and historical Christ when he lived among us, and that the Church was built upon Peter, the prince of the apostolic hierarchy, and his successors for the duration of time.
Fourthly, I sincerely hold that the doctrine of faith was handed down to us from the apostles through the orthodox Fathers in exactly the same meaning and always in the same purport. Therefore, I entirely reject the heretical misrepresentation that dogmas evolve and change from one meaning to another different from the one which the Church held previously. I also condemn every error according to which, in place of the divine deposit which has been given to the spouse of Christ to be carefully guarded by her, there is put a philosophical figment or product of a human conscience that has gradually been developed by human effort and will continue to develop indefinitely.
Fifthly, I hold with certainty and sincerely confess that faith is not a blind sentiment of religion welling up from the depths of the subconscious under the impulse of the heart and the motion of a will trained to morality; but faith is a genuine assent of the intellect to truth received by hearing from an external source. By this assent, because of the authority of the supremely truthful God, we believe to be true that which has been revealed and attested to by a personal God, our Creator and Lord.
Furthermore, with due reverence, I submit and adhere with my whole heart to the condemnations, declarations, and all the prescripts contained in the encyclical Pascendi and in the decree Lamentabili, especially those concerning what is known as the history of dogmas. I also reject the error of those who say that the faith held by the Church can contradict history, and that Catholic dogmas, in the sense in which they are now understood, are irreconcilable with a more realistic view of the origins of the Christian religion. I also condemn and reject the opinion of those who say that a well-educated Christian assumes a dual personality—that of a believer and at the same time of a historian, as if it were permissible for a historian to hold things that contradict the faith of the believer, or to establish premises which, provided there be no direct denial of dogmas, would lead to the conclusion that dogmas are either false or doubtful. Likewise, I reject that method of judging and interpreting Sacred Scripture which, departing from the tradition of the Church, the analogy of faith, and the norms of the Apostolic See, embraces the misrepresentations of the rationalists and with no prudence or restraint adopts textual criticism as the one and supreme norm.
Furthermore, I reject the opinion of those who hold that a professor lecturing or writing on a historico-theological subject should first put aside any preconceived opinion about the supernatural origin of Catholic tradition or about the divine promise of help to preserve all revealed truth forever; and that they should then interpret the writings of each of the Fathers solely by scientific principles, excluding all sacred authority, and with the same liberty of judgment that is common in the investigation of all ordinary historical documents.
Finally, I declare that I am completely opposed to the error of the modernists who hold that there is nothing divine in sacred tradition; or what is far worse, say that there is, but in a pantheistic sense, with the result that there would remain nothing but this plain simple fact—one to be put on a par with the ordinary facts of history—the fact, namely, that a group of men by their own labor, skill, and talent have continued through subsequent ages a school begun by Christ and his apostles. I firmly hold, then, and shall hold to my dying breath the belief of the Fathers in the charism of truth, which certainly is, was, and always will be in the succession of the episcopacy from the apostles. The purpose of this is, then, not that dogma may be tailored according to what seems better and more suited to the culture of each age; rather, that the absolute and immutable truth preached by the apostles from the beginning may never be believed to be different, may never be understood in any other way.
I promise that I shall keep all these articles faithfully, entirely, and sincerely, and guard them inviolate, in no way deviating from them in teaching or in any way in word or in writing. Thus I promise, this I swear, so help me God.
The Oath Against Modernism was rescinded July 17, 1967 by the CDF at the direction of Pope Paul VI. Like the St. Michael Prayer, it did not survive the spirit of Vatican II.

In 1909, Pope St.Pius X had a vision concerning a future pope. Here are his words on the matter:
What I have seen is terrifying! Will I be the one, or will it be a successor? What is certain is that the Pope will leave Rome and, in leaving the Vatican, he will have to pass over the dead bodies of his priests!
The vision would be reprised again shortly before the death of Pope St. Pius X. Here are his words on that vision:
I have seen one of my successors, of the same name, who was fleeing over the bodies of his brethren. He will take refuge in some hiding place; but after a brief respite, he will die a cruel death. Respect for God has disappeared from human hearts. They wish to efface even God's memory. This perversity is nothing less than the beginning of the last days of the world.
From these words, we can gather a few things. This future pope would bear a resemblance to Pius X, and he would share his name. Pius's original name was Giuseppe which is the Italian form for "Joseph." This is also the name for Pope Benedict XVI who is Joseph Ratzinger. He also bears a strong physical resemblance to Pope St. Pius X.

This may be mere coincidence. For all I know, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI may be dying peacefully in his sleep. But my gut tells me that he will not be given the grace of a happy death.

V. Our Lady of Fatima

In 1917, our Lady appeared to three children in Fatima, Portugal. In a series of apparitions, the Blessed Virgin delivered three secrets to the children of an eschatological nature. They dealt with the two world wars, the errors of Russia, and calamities for the Roman Catholic Church and its prelates. Many doubted the children until October 13, 1917 when thousands witnessed the Miracle of the Sun. Entire books have been written on Our Lady of Fatima, but we want to focus on two things our Lady said that pertain to our discussion here. The first concerns the errors of Russia contained in the second secret:
You have seen hell where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If what I say to you is done, many souls will be saved and there will be peace. The war is going to end: but if people do not cease offending God, a worse one will break out during the Pontificate of Pope Pius XI. When you see a night illumined by an unknown light, know that this is the great sign given you by God that he is about to punish the world for its crimes, by means of war, famine, and persecutions of the Church and of the Holy Father. To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the Consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart, and the Communion of reparation on the First Saturdays. If my requests are heeded, Russia will be converted, and there will be peace; if not, she will spread her errors throughout the world, causing wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred; the Holy Father will have much to suffer; various nations will be annihilated. In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph. The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, and she shall be converted, and a period of peace will be granted to the world.
This secret pertains to World War II and its aftermath as Communism filled the world. The consecration to Russia was never done explicitly. But it was done implicitly in the consecration of the world in 1984. I believe this consecration was what brought about the fall of communism in such a dramatic fashion and why Russia inclines itself to a return to its Christian roots. But the explicit consecration of Russia still needs to be done. When this happens, Russia will return to communion with Rome.

Communism and the Russian Revolution sprang from Freemasonry. Like the American and French Revolutions, Freemasonry had a hand in the uprisings. The lodges do not hold direct power, but they do wield influence on its members that do have power. Unfortunately for the Freemasons, the Bolsheviks would turn on the Freemasons and outlaw them.

The errors of Russia are virtually identical to the errors of Freemasonry except they are the same errors on steroids. There was extreme antipathy between the Communists and the Catholic Church. The Soviets responded by external persecution and internal subversion. This was identical to the aims of the Freemasons. More will be said about this in the discussion concerning Bella Dodd.

The Third Secret of Fatima is the one that pertains most to our discussion here, and it is the one that contains the most mystery and controversy. The secret was transcribed with the direction that it could be made public in 1960. It wasn't. It would not be made public until 2000, and many believe what was published was incomplete. Here is what they published:
After the two parts which I have already explained, at the left of Our Lady and a little above, we saw an Angel with a flaming sword in his left hand; flashing, it gave out flames that looked as though they would set the world on fire; but they died out in contact with the splendour that Our Lady radiated towards him from her right hand: pointing to the earth with his right hand, the Angel cried out in a loud voice: 'Penance, Penance, Penance!' And we saw in an immense light that is God: 'something similar to how people appear in a mirror when they pass in front of it' a Bishop dressed in White 'we had the impression that it was the Holy Father'. Other Bishops, Priests, Religious men and women going up a steep mountain, at the top of which there was a big Cross of rough-hewn trunks as of a cork-tree with the bark; before reaching there the Holy Father passed through a big city half in ruins and half trembling with halting step, afflicted with pain and sorrow, he prayed for the souls of the corpses he met on his way; having reached the top of the mountain, on his knees at the foot of the big Cross he was killed by a group of soldiers who fired bullets and arrows at him, and in the same way there died one after another the other Bishops, Priests, Religious men and women, and various lay people of different ranks and positions. Beneath the two arms of the Cross there were two Angels each with a crystal aspersorium in his hand, in which they gathered up the blood of the Martyrs and with it sprinkled the souls that were making their way to God.
The unpublished part supposedly refers to schism, rival popes, and the Apocalypse. I don't know if a second part of this secret actually exists. But we can gather information from this part. For a long time, I didn't get it until one day I did. The "Bishop dressed in White" and the Holy Father are not the same person. This is why the secret is explicit in stating "we had the impression that it was the Holy Father." What we know is that there are two guys going around dressed up as the Pope.

According to the Third Secret, these two guys are coming to a violent and bloody end along with other prelates, priests, religious, and laity. If there is a hidden part of this secret, it would be nice to have it. But the rumor is that the reason it is hidden is because it pertains to the sodomy and sex abuse scandal in the Roman Catholic Church.

VI. Bella Dodd

In the 1930s and the 1940s, Bella Dodd was a tireless worker for all things Communist. She was a red through and through. Then, she met Fulton Sheen, and her life changed. This enemy of the Church became a friend of the Church and returned to the fold in 1952. She spent the rest of her days dishing the dirt on communism and their infiltration in the USA and in the Roman Catholic Church. She died in 1969, and we ask God's pardon and forgiveness for her sins. May she rest in the peace, love, and joy of our Lord and our Lady forever.

One of Bella Dodd's activities was to install in the Roman Catholic Church men sympathetic to communism and debased in their morals and doctrine. This directive came from Joseph Stalin, a former seminarian who fell into atheism. The ideal candidates for this infiltration of the Church were homosexuals. Bella Dodd testified under oath to the House Un-American Activities Committee. Here is what she said:
In the 1930s, we put eleven hundred men into the priesthood in order to destroy the Church from within. The idea was for these men to be ordained, and then climb the ladder of influence and authority as Monsignors and Bishops.
Other sources tell a similar tale. Alice von Hildebrand, a friend of Dodd, reported this to Church Militant:
Stalin, soon after he came to power ordered his cronies to invade Catholic seminaries with young men that had neither faith nor morals. Now, the ideal cases: homosexual. . . . But if you’re a homosexual, then it was a tragic mission.
Then, there is the story of AA-1025 which was the story of a man killed in a car crash who had a memoir in his personal effects about how he was one of those communist agents tasked with infiltrating the Church and becoming a priest. You can find the text of this book here. The memoir is essentially a blueprint of how the subversion of the Roman Catholic Church was accomplished. One only has to look at the communist modernist homosexual garbage in the Church today to see that those efforts succeeded. The irony is that the Soviet Union is gone, but the damage those commies did still lives on in Roman Catholicism.

VII. Vatican II

You would be hard pressed to look back over the history of the Roman Catholic Church and not conclude that Vatican II has been an unmitigated disaster for Catholicism. I don't think good Pope St. John XXIII had an idea of what was coming, but it is rumored that he called an end to the council on his deathbed. Pope Paul VI ignored this and continued the council.

Vatican II was not the cause of all the calamities that afflict the Church today. It is fashionable among trads to lay the blame on the council, but they overlook the obvious fact that the filth was already in the Church before Vatican II. The only thing was that this filth was cloaked and hidden. Vatican II pulled the cloak off of it. The modernists and the sodomites were allowed to reveal themselves as they sought to capitalize on the opportunities the council presented to them. It is probably better that we know than we continue fumbling in the dark as the conspirators became more entrenched.

Vatican II did not open the door for the evildoers, but it did crack open a window. That open window is all that the bad guys needed to work their evil. The Latin Mass gave way to the Novus Ordo and its abuses. The spirit of Vatican II swept through the Church, and the bad guys leveraged the opportunity as much as they could. Here is what Pope Paul VI wrote about the council:
We would say that, through some mysterious crack—no, it’s not mysterious; through some crack, the smoke of Satan has entered the Church of God.
Paul was more correct than he realized. The smoke of Satan had entered the Church, and I know how it was done.

VIII. Malachi Martin

Father Malachi Martin is a controversial figure in Roman Catholicism. He is either fiercely loved or fiercely hated. I love the man, and I pray for his soul. Others who hate him have spread many lies and falsehoods about this man claiming that he was a laicized priest, an adulterer, a flim-flam artist, and on and on. The problem is that these slanderous claims come from people who have something to gain from discrediting Martin. What is the truth?

The truth is that Father Martin was born 1921 in Ireland and became a Catholic priest in the Society of Jesus. Martin was essentially a Catholic version of James Bond. I can't even list all of his education and exploits because they are so numerous. He was a learned and devout man who was rumored to have worked underground behind the Iron Curtain on behalf of the faithful. Martin was also a Vatican insider and was at Vatican II. Had Father Martin dropped dead then, he would have been unquestioningly revered as a great man and perhaps a saint. But his fortunes changed when he became disillusioned with Vatican II in general and the Jesuits in particular.

Malachi Martin decided that the Society of Jesus had been utterly corrupted. Martin was totally right on this as the bulk of the SJ is now consumed by Marxism and anal sex. Of all the orders in Catholicism, the Society of Jesus is now the absolute worst. It should immediately be disbanded and virtually all of its priests laicized. There are a few good Jesuits left, but you can count them on one hand.

Martin lobbied Paul VI to be released from some of his Jesuit vows and be secularized. To be laicized is to be returned to the lay state. Martin merely asked to be released from his vows of obedience and poverty. By being released from obedience, Martin didn't have to submit to the Jesuit superiors anymore. By being released from poverty, Martin was able to work a day job as a cab driver in New York City. Malachi Martin continued to work as a priest celebrating the Latin Mass and writing his many books. He also observed his vow of chastity and remained a celibate. Pope Paul VI granted the permission for secularization.

Malachi Martin was a prolific writer, and he would also stumble into becoming an exorcist after a priest asked for his assistance at an exorcism. Needless to say, Father Martin continued to live a very interesting life. He would also be calumniated fiercely by former Jesuits who weren't too happy about the things he wrote about them. But his real battle was yet to come.

Father Martin already had many enemies in the Church and even among the demons he had exorcised. But his hardest blow to evil came in the form of a novel. This novel was Windswept House. I have written a brief review of it here.

The novel is mostly true stuff. Why did Martin choose to tell a fictionalized version of the story? The answer to that is obvious. He never lived to tell the non-fiction form of the story. He was working on this story when he fell in his apartment striking his head and dying in 1999. Some people suspect foul play. He was either murdered by an assailant, or he was pushed by a demonic force. Or, maybe he just tripped. I don't know. I just know that he was not able to put into nonfiction what he touched on in fiction which was very convenient for some really nasty people.

One of those nasty people was Joseph Cardinal Bernardin. When Windswept House was published in 1998, it was too fabulous to be believed. Since that time, it has become way more believable as the fiction of that book is now fact. It's all in there--sodomy, Freemasonry, the Lavender Mafia, and on and on. People who dismiss this book as the work of a crackpot are fools.

The most fabulous claims in the book concern Bernardin, his sodomy, child molestation, and satanism. I know. That's a lot to swallow. But no one believed the allegations about Cardinal McCarrick that had been around for decades. McCarrick was a good friend of Bernardin. Bernardin was like Palpatine to McCarrick's Vader. When the story on Bernardin comes out, it will make McCarrick look like a Boy Scout in comparison.

Francis Cardinal Spellman was a prelate from the old school. He was doctrinally orthodox and a conservative. He was also a sodomite. When asked how he could live such a double life and get away with it, Cardinal Spellman was reported to have said, "Who would believe it?" And that, Gentle Reader, is how these bastards get away with it. The Catholic faithful never want to think the worst of their prelates and priests, so they don't. This inability to question these men is what has given them a feeling of invincibility. Plus, I think the devil helps them as well as this sort of thing happens outside the Church with guys like Jimmy Saville and Jerry Sandusky.

The Bernardin thing hits close to home for me as the late cardinal got his start in the Diocese of Charleston. In our backwater, Bernardin is revered as some kind of hero and local boy who did good. The man even attended my alma mater before deciding to become a priest. I have to endure seeing this evil man's name and memorials on a lot of stuff here in SC. Our clueless bishop has taken to using Bernardin's old crozier.

I pray that I live long enough to see the memory of this man disgraced as he richly deserves and see his name scraped off of everything erected in his honor. I don't even have to go to what is alleged about the man to feel this way as his homophile actions and seamless garment communist garbage are enough for me to consider the man pure evil. But I believe what is alleged about him. Here it is.

Joseph Bernardin was born on April 2, 1928 to immigrant parents in Columbia, SC. Bernardin's father died of cancer when Bernardin was only six years old. Bernardin received his sacraments at St. Peter's in Columbia and would grow up with ambitions of becoming a physician and enroll in the pre-med program at the University of South Carolina (my alma mater.) Bernardin was not especially religious, but he abruptly changed course and decided to become a priest. I'm not sure what brought about this change. Maybe it was flunking organic chemistry or something, but I doubt it. I have a theory about this. Here it is.

Bernardin must have had homosexual inclinations and interests when he was at USC and discovered that many Catholic priests and prelates were running a hothouse of sodomy. This was the 1940s, so it's not like Bernardin could go check out the bathhouse scene in San Francisco or Greenwich Village. Such things as this simply didn't exist. This also establishes firmly that the rot and filth existed in the Roman Catholic Church long before Vatican II.

Upon completion of his studies, Bernardin returned to South Carolina to receive ordination under Bishop John J. Russell. Russell allegedly was a sodomite and a satanist. I know. It just blows your mind to hear this. Bernardin and Russell formed a strong bond, and Bernardin would do much in the Diocese of Charleston. Among Bernardin's other friends was Monsignor Frederick J. Hopwood who would go on to molest a hundred or more boys during his time in the Charleston Diocese. The Diocese is still fighting over and paying for what that pervert did. When Hopwood got into trouble, it was his friend, Joe Bernardin, that paid for Hopwood's lawyers. And where did Hopwood come from? He was one of Spellman's boys sent down from New York. Like I said, it was a hothouse of sodomy.

I can go into many details concerning Bernardin's nefarious activities after leaving for a glorious career beyond the Diocese of Charleston. But others have already written about this. Needless to say, Bernardin rose to the pinnacle of the Catholic Church in America. He replaced Spellman as the shot caller except Spellman had the decency of being conservative and orthodox and an ardent anti-communist despite his sexual perversion. Bernardin was a liberal, a closet commie, and a promoter of the LGBT agenda before it became fashionable.

What matters to our discussion here is what Russell and Bernardin did. According to Malachi Martin's account in Windswept House, these two bastards conducted one half of a satanic rite to enthrone Satan in the Vatican. The other half of the rite was conducted in the Pauline chapel in the Vatican.

The Pauline Chapel was the target chapel. The targeting chapel was reportedly in the basement of a Catholic school in Greenville, SC. The satanic rituals were linked by phone with the messier and noisier bits done in the targeting chapel. One of those messier bits involved the sexual violation of a young girl known by the name of "Agnes" to protect her identity. I won't go into the sordid details because they are too sick to repeat here. But this satanic ritual apparently took place on June 29, 1963, shortly after the election of Paul VI as the new pope.

Did all of this really happen? I don't know. I can't prove any of it, and we are left with Malachi Martin's account and the testimony of Agnes who told the story to Martin. It really comes down to whether you believe Malachi Martin or not. I believe him. In addition, I found it interesting that the PA grand jury report that exposed Cardinal Wuerl's past in Pittsburgh included details regarding satanic ritual sex abuse.

So, we have Freemasons, communists, and sodomites. Now, we throw satanists in the mix to make the Nightmare Team of Subversion. It just boggles the mind. But there it is. Satan himself came to join the party after pulling the strings for a century. Pope Leo's vision came true. The Devil had now taken his seat in the Vatican.

What effect did this enthronement have? From what I know, the enthronement diminished the power of the papacy. Pope Benedict XVI was famous for his admission that his power stopped at the threshold of the doorway. This diminished power was accredited to something known as the "superforce." We know that it is simply Satan and his buddies having free run of the Vatican. This is also why both JP2 and B16 were essentially powerless to make reforms or affect lasting change in the Roman Catholic Church.

As for the Vatican, the ones involved in Satanism are there, and they keep it going. I don't know who they are as I am not as informed on the inner workings of the Vatican. I just know the bad guys who pulled off the enthronement in 1963 almost certainly left behind allies and friends pursuing the same agenda.

IX. Our Lady of Akita

In 1973,  the Blessed Virgin appeared to Sister Agnes Katsuko Sasagawa near Akita, Japan. The sister who was deaf received the stigmata and a message from the Virgin Mary. The apparition also involved a weeping statue which was broadcast on Japanese television. I won't go into detail except to say that Sister Sasagawa was cured of her deafness. Among the revelations of our Lady of Akita was this bit pertinent to this discussion:
The work of the devil will infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, bishops against bishops. The priests who venerate me will be scorned and opposed by their confreres...churches and altars sacked; the Church will be full of those who accept compromises and the demon will press many priests and consecrated souls to leave the service of the Lord.
The demon will be especially implacable against souls consecrated to God. The thought of the loss of so many souls is the cause of my sadness. If sins increase in number and gravity, there will be no longer pardon for them.
Our Lady makes mention of the demon. Clearly, Satan was at work within the Church, and we see the culmination of that work today. Cardinals and bishops are opposing each other. We have the Church, and we have the Antichurch. The goal of this antichurch was to put a man on the Throne of Peter to their liking. I think they have succeeded.

X. The Bishop in White

On February 28, 2013, Pope Benedict XVI resigned the papacy. I remember it because I was not yet a Catholic but still in the RCIA process and a candidate. By the time I was accepted into the Church, Pope Francis was the new guy. At the time, I felt trepidation over the new pontiff. Those initial bad feelings have been confirmed since then as Pope Francis has now established himself as the worst pope in the history of the Roman Catholic Church. But the truth is that he may not be a pope at all. Bergoglio chose the name of Francis as his papal name in homage to St. Francis of Assisi. But there is a prophecy from St. Francis concerning the papacy. Here it is:
At the time of this tribulation a man, not canonically elected, will be raised to the Pontificate, who, by his cunning, will endeavour to draw many into error and death. Then scandals will be multiplied, our Order will be divided, and many others will be entirely destroyed, because they will consent to error instead of opposing it.
This prophecy, the scandal of this pontificate, and the cloud of doubt and suspicion surrounding Benedict's abdication have led some to suspect and even declare that Pope Benedict XVI is still the pope while Francis is an antipope. Is this the case? Such a discussion is worthy of its own essay, and I will have to save that discussion for that time. Without saying one way or another, Francis being an antipope would make sense of all the calamity we find ourselves in today.

It doesn't take much to see why the Devil would wish to have an antipope. If Francis was a legitimate pope elected upon the death of his predecessor, his pontificate would not be the disaster it is today. The bad guys probably thought they had their man in Paul VI, but he was a legit pope who for some reason kept frustrating the Antichurch. The most glaring example was when he reaffirmed the Church's teaching on artificial contraception in Humanae Vitae. Paul was expected to side with the bad guys on that one and gave every indication that he would. Paul VI punked them in a way that affirms our Lord's promises concerning Peter.

A true pope can't serve the ends of the Antichurch. The divine promise and the Holy Spirit won't allow it. To get the job done for the Antichurch, they need a guy who is acknowledged as the pope but is not the actual pope. They need a counterfeit pope. Pope Francis may very well be that counterfeit pope. Venerable Archbishop Sheen outlined this diabolical plan of the Antichurch in this telling quotation:
He will set up a counterchurch which will be the ape of the Church, because he, the Devil, is the ape of God. It will have all the notes and characteristics of the Church, but in reverse and emptied of its divine content. It will be a mystical body of the Antichrist that will in all externals resemble the mystical body of Christ. . . .
So, we would have a counterfeit church with a counterfeit pope, but everyone in the world would be fooled into thinking it was the real church. This is how you end up with a Holy Father and a "Bishop in White" who is not the Holy Father. Is Francis the Bishop in White? At Fatima on the 100th anniversary of the apparitions at Fatima, Pope Francis said that he was the "bishop dressed in white." Either you believe this was a coincidence, or you believe in Providence. There are no coincidences with Providence.

Pope Francis has also declared at other times that he would be the man who split the Church. I totally believe him. This man has been generating a schism for some time now, and he has shown no indication of trying to heal the rift. He has protected sodomites and pedophiles while expunging orthodox and faithful priests and prelates. He has persecuted faithful and traditional Catholics. And he has betrayed the faithful in China by colluding with the Communist Chinese against the underground church there. Each day brings a new scandal, heresy, and betrayal.

If Francis is a true pope, then all of this should and does cause scandal, discouragement, and loss of faith among the faithful. If Francis is an antipope, then nothing he does matters, and we just endure his crap until he dies. For some reason, there is great consolation in that antipope idea. I can only point people to crazy Ann Barnhardt and her argument that Benedict XVI never validly resigned the Petrine office setting up Bergoglio to become an antipope. If she is right, it would explain a great many things to a high degree of satisfaction.

As it stands, we have a silent man in white who haunts the Vatican in his enfeebled state watching all of this unfold in silence. As Our Lady of Good Success said, "In this supreme moment of need of the Church, the one who should speak will fall silent!" We sure need Benedict right now, and his mere word or gesture is enough to generate headlines and a sort of reverence. Despite his lurking in the shadows, bad guys in the Vatican have declared that Benedict acts like he still runs the place. I don't think Benedict actually thinks this, but the bad guys do. If Benedict is still the pope, weird statements like this make sense. Meanwhile, we have a man who claims to be pope but refuses to live in the papal residence but chooses to live in a hotel. He still keeps the name "Bergoglio" on his Argentine passport. He is such a disgrace now that no serious orthodox Catholic acknowledges him now with any reverence or filial affection.

What do I think? I can't make such declarations on popes and antipopes. It is above my pay grade. But my gut tells me that the Barnhardt Thesis is correct even if my head is agnostic on the topic. The result of this is that I take everything that Francis says and does with a grain of salt while resting on all that the Church has taught before him. When will this get cleared up? My gut tells me that the pope/antipope thing will become a moot point when both Francis and Benedict fall dead on the same day. This is the Third Secret of Fatima. But I am skipping ahead.

XI. What Happens Now?

Just when you think you've gotten all there is to say concerning this topic, there is more. Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich was an Augustinian nun who lived from 1774-1824. She was a very ill woman who experienced visions and the stigmata. Her visions were recorded by others, but the recording of these visions is suspect. I believe that what she said was absolutely true but well intentioned people like Clemens Brentano may have corrupted it with their fumblings. Despite the possible corruptions, we can glean insight from Emmerich and fill in some of the details. Here are some of her prophecies concerning our time.

The first prophecy concerns two popes. Here it is:
I saw also the relationship between two popes … I saw how baleful would be the consequences of this false church. I saw it increase in size; heretics of every kind came into the city of Rome. The local clergy grew lukewarm, and I saw a great darkness…
The immediate conclusion is that these two popes are Francis and Benedict, but I am in agreement with Steve Skojec that the two popes are actually Pope Boniface IV and an unidentified future pope. Boniface expunged idolatry from the Church while the future pope would bring it back. I think this is happening today.

Emmerich had more to say concerning the counterfeit church we see today:
Last night, from eleven to three, I had a most wonderful vision of two churches and two Popes and a variety of things, ancient and modern…. I saw the fatal consequences of this counterfeit church; I saw it increase; I saw heretics of all kinds flocking to the city. I saw the ever-increasing tepidity of the clergy, the circle of darkness ever widening. And now the vision became more extended. I saw in all places Catholics oppressed, annoyed, restricted, and deprived of liberty, churches were closed, and great misery prevailed everywhere with war and bloodshed. I saw rude, ignorant people offering violent resistance, but this state of things lasted not long. Again I saw in vision St. Peter’s undermined according to a plan devised by the secret sect while, at the same time, it was damaged by storms; but it was delivered at the moment of greatest distress. Again I saw the Blessed Virgin extending her mantle over it.
This vision is more explicit. Make note of the "secret sect" and the variety of things "ancient and modern." Clearly, this refers to Freemasonry and our times. This is the thing about all of these prophecies. They overlap each other and reinforce one another. People separated by time and place end up saying the same things.

Emmerich writes about a pope who clearly resembles Pope Emeritus Benedict:
 I see the Holy Father in great distress. He lives in another palace and receives only a few to his presence. If the wicked party knew their own great strength, they would even now have made an attack. I fear the Holy Father will suffer many tribulations before his death, for I see the black counterfeit church gaining ground, I see its fatal influence on the public. The distress of the Holy Father and of the Church is really so great that one ought to pray to God day and night. I have been told to pray much for the Church and the Pope…. Last night I was taken to Rome where the Holy Father, plunged in affliction, is still concealed in order to elude dangerous exigencies. He is very feeble, quite worn out by distress, anxiety, and prayer. His chief reason for lying concealed is because he can now trust so few.
This was written in 1822. This gives me goosebumps to read this. It is rumored that Benedict resigned as a consequence of pressure and perhaps blackmail and threats from the the Lavender Mafia/St. Gallen Mafia that are well known in the Vatican. The interesting thing is that Emmerich calls him the Holy Father. This indicates that this enfeebled man is still the pope.

Emmerich writes about the schism as well:
I had another vision of the great tribulation. It seems to me that a concession was demanded from the clergy which could not be granted. I saw many older priests, especially one, who wept bitterly. A few younger ones were also weeping. But others, and the lukewarm among them, readily did what was demanded. It was as if people were splitting into two camps…
This part has yet to happen, but I can see it coming. Pope Francis has already decided that he can change the Our Father to his liking and admits adulterers to Holy Communion. The devout older folks and the devout younger generation despise this crap while lukewarm and apostate Catholics are on board because they could give a damn. The split is already there, but I see worse things to come. I suspect Francis may make radical changes to the Mass rendering it completely invalid. This would end the Real Presence on the altars and become a true abomination of desolation.

Emmerich tells us about destruction:
As I was going through Rome with St. Francis and the other saint, we saw a great palace engulfed in flames from top to bottom. I was very much afraid that the occupants would be burned to death because no one came forward to put out the fire. As we came nearer, however, the fire abated and we saw the blackened building. We went through a number of magnificent rooms (untouched by the fire), and we finally reached the Pope. He was sitting in the dark and slept in a large arm-chair. He was very ill and weak; he could no longer walk. The ecclesiastics in the inner circle looked insincere and lacking in zeal; I did not like them. I told the Pope of the bishops who are to be appointed soon. I told him also that he must not leave Rome. If he did so, it would be chaos. He thought that the evil was inevitable and that he should leave in order to save many things beside himself. He was very much inclined to leave Rome, and he was insistently urged to do so. The Pope is still attached to the things of this earth in many ways…
This sounds like something from the Third Secret of Fatima.

Emmerich writes about the influences already mentioned in this essay. Remember, this was seen in 1820:
I also saw the various regions of the earth. My Guide (Jesus) named Europe and pointing to a small and sandy region, He uttered these words: "Here is Prussia (East Germany), the enemy. "Then He showed me another place, to the north, and He said: ‘This is Moskva, the land of Moscow, bringing many evils." 
“I see many excommunicated ecclesiastics who do not seem to be concerned about it, nor even aware of it. Yet, they are (ipso facto) excommunicated whenever they cooperated to [sic] enterprises, enter into associations, and embrace opinions on which an anathema has been cast[i.e. become Freemasons]. It can be seen thereby that God ratifies the decrees, orders, and interdictions issued by the Head of the Church, and that He keeps them in force even though men show no concern for them, reject them, or laugh them to scorn.
This describes the Antichurch, the cabal of Freemasons and Communists, and the satanic superforce that does not invalidate what the pope decrees but enables him to be rejected, laughed at, and ignored.

Emmerich speaks more about the Antichurch and the pope/antipope who bring about these calamities:
I saw that many pastors allowed themselves to be taken up with ideas that were dangerous to the Church. They were building a great, strange, and extravagant Church. Everyone was to be admitted in it in order to be united and have equal rights: Evangelicals, Catholics sects of every description. Such was to be the new Church…But God had other designs…
I see that when the Second Coming of Christ approaches, a bad priest will do much harm to the Church. When the time of the reign of Antichrist is near, a false religion will appear which will be opposed to the unity of God and His Church. This will cause the greatest schism the world has ever known. The nearer the time of the end, the more the darkness of Satan will spread on earth, the greater will be the number of the children of corruption, and the number of the just will correspondingly diminish… 
They built a large, singular, extravagant church which was to embrace all creeds with equal rights: Evangelicals, Catholics, and all denominations, a true communion of the unholy with one shepherd and one flock. There was to be a Pope, a salaried Pope, without possessions. All was made ready, many things finished; but, in place of an altar, were only abomination and desolation. Such was the new church to be, and it was for it that he had set fire to the old one; but God designed otherwise….
This is very disturbing stuff. I don't know if this is figurative or literal, but it definitely describes the Pope Francis agenda of ecumenism and indifferentism. In with the new and out with the old but true.

Emmerich speaks about desolation and destruction:
I saw the Church of St. Peter.  It had been destroyed but for the Sanctuary and the main Altar. St. Michael came down into the church, clad in his suit of armor, and he paused, threatening with his sword a number of unworthy pastors who wanted to enter. That part of the Church which had been destroyed was promptly fenced in with light timber so that the Divine office might be celebrated as it should. Then, from all over the world came priests and laymen, and they rebuilt the stone walls, since the wreckers had been unable to move the heavy foundation stones. 
 
The Church is in great danger. We must pray so that the Pope may not leave Rome; countless evils would result if he did. They are now demanding something from him. The Protestant doctrine and that of the schismatic Greeks are to spread everywhere. I now see that in this place (Rome) the (Catholic) Church is being so cleverly undermined, that there hardly remain a hundred or so priests who have not been deceived. They all work for destruction, even the clergy. A great devastation is now near at hand.
There is a large quantity in Emmerich's visions. There is a lot of troubling stuff but also the consolation that our Lady would come through. Great suffering is to come, but it will not last long for the sake of the elect. After this tribulation, there will be a great renewal in the Roman Catholic Church.

Conclusion

That is a lot of information. As I said, this is what I know. But it is not all that I know. This story and my knowledge grows by the day as I discover new things from old sources and new things happen in the world. My expectation is that further calamity and schism will come from Pope Francis as he wreaks havoc on the Catholic Church.

The Third Secret of Fatima discusses a violent end to this mess as prelates, priests, religious, and the two popes are cut down by soldiers with rifles and arrows. Is this merely a metaphor for spiritual upheaval? Or, is this an actual physical violent end that comes as a chastisement from Heaven? I am not a visionary or a prophet, so I don't know. The things I have written could be totally wrong. I may have retrofitted all that I have read to fit our present time, and I am merely guessing what the future may hold. But I will tell you what I feel in my gut.

The bad guys aligned with Pope Francis will concentrate themselves in the Vatican. Part of this will come from a desire for Francis to have his people around him while driving away the faithful from him. The other part may come from a desire for many of these bad guys to escape criminal prosecution by various countries for sex abuse and cover up by holing up in the Vatican like Cardinal Law did after the Spotlight scandal. There are already a lot of bad guys in the Vatican now.

As for Pope Benedict, he will keep on living despite the fact that he claimed poor health as the reason for his abdication. If Benedict dies long before Francis, you can take all that I have conjectured here in this conclusion and toss it in the garbage. I will be wrong in what the future holds. Maybe the Third Secret is purely metaphorical.

My gut says that Francis being the ecumenical pro-migrant fool that he is will welcome the Musloid barbarians into the Vatican much like Montezuma welcomed Cortes and his men into the Aztec capital. It may even happen during one of these ridiculous false synods that Francis loves so much. And like Cortes, the Musloids will cut down these degenerates as God uses them as his instrument of chastisement. Many will die, and St. Peter's will suffer fire and destruction. Both Francis and Benedict will die at the hands of these men. And the rest of the world will be shocked but will acknowledge they had it coming.

As for the remaining cardinals, I think they will convene in Fatima, Portugal, in acknowledgement of our Lady's warnings and elect a new pope. As our Lady said, "In Portugal, the dogma of the Faith will always be preserved." This new pope will be nothing less than awesome and will be in the mold of Pope St. Pius X. He will lead the Roman Catholic Church in the greatest renewal it has ever seen.

But as I said, if Benedict dies a peaceful death today or tomorrow, you can disregard my speculation as just speculation. I am not a prophet. I am just a guy who reads and makes the best guess that he can from what he has read. That may be all that any of us can do at this point. But if it does happen as I said, all I can say is that we warned. There is much consolation in that. Regardless if I am right or wrong, I firmly believe that our Lord and our Lady will triumph, and the Roman Catholic Church will survive and be renewed. Until then, keep praying and stop sinning.
