We are talking about a time AFTER Pope Francis Mystic Post is supportive of our Pope. Please do not read into this anything critical of Our Pope. God Bless When Pope Benedict XVI left the papacy, people saw this as a prophetic warning. Many concluded that Benedict XVI’s resignation was a harbinger of the opening of the “end of times” The prophecies of Saint Malachy, the 12th-century bishop from Ireland have mystified readers for centuries. He is best known for his claim that there would be only one more pope after “Benedict” and during his reign comes the end of the world. So Francis could be the last. The prediction in full is: “In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church there will reign Peter the Roman, who will feed his flock amid many tribulations, after which the seven-hilled city will be destroyed and the dreadful Judge will judge the people. The End.” Cardinal Ratzinger, who has read the Third Secret, said: “The Third Secret refers to the dangers to our Faith, and therefore to the life of the Christian and therefore to the life of the world.” Our Lady at AKita spoke of the dangers of the life of the Church in the future. She said: “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 will be 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” Jesus also warned us that the time will come when there will be “idol shepherds” that glorify themselves rather than God. Our Lady at Garabandal revealed to the visionary Conchita an unforgettable message. She told Conchita: “Many Cardinals, Many Bishops And Many Priests Are On The Road To Perdition And Taking Many Souls With Them.” Conchita then spoke of the Last Pope and the end of time. She said openly: “Our Lady did not speak of the” end of the world but END OF TIME. I just know that she said that, after this Pope there will be three more, then will come the “END OF TIME”. Some Catholic prophecy experts believe that the END OF TIME will begin with the revelation of the 10 Secrets of Medjugorje. They consider that a time, not so far into the future perhaps after the Pontificate of Pope Francis ends, will be when the Medjugorje Secrets begin to manifest themselves. In a Medjugorje Message on April 14 1982, Our Lady told Mirjana: “You must know that Satan exists. One day he presented himself before the throne of God and asked permission to tempt the Church for a certain period. with the intention of destroying it. God allowed Satan to put the Church to test for a century, but he added: you will not destroy it!” Satan, who is the prince of this world, has power over civilizations and nations. But that power was broken by the death and resurrection of Jesus, our Lord and that salvation is made available to us in the Church. Our Lady says we have the victory in Christ, but we must firm in faith and wage the battle to ensure the victory now and until the end of time. It is this decisive battle with the Antichrist against the children of God and the Church, the Virgin Mary comes to our aid today. She is the commander of God’s great army, in order to help us reach the victory that is truly fulfilled in Her Immaculate heart.
"But let us get back to the question at hand. Why on earth does such a venerable ancient Rite with stellar accomplishments in the pantheon of saints, not to mention the huge cultural impact it has had within western civilisation, merit exclusion?" —Fr. Christopher Basden, parish priest in Ramsgate, England — where St. Augustine of Canterbury landed in 596 A.D. on his mission for Pope Gregory the Great (590-604 A.D.) to convert England — in the essay published below "A question has to be sincerely posed: 'What are the fruits of the revolutionary transformation in the liturgy which heralded a huge plethora of changes in the Church?' Despite the continual denial of the aged ecclesiastics in power who suffer from the 'Emperor’s new clothes syndrome' one can truly say that the result is a huge devastation of the vineyard of the Lord." —Fr. Basden, in the same essay *** Letter #194, 2021, Wednesday, December 29: Father Basden of Ramsgate, England On Christmas Eve, an essay by Fr. Christopher Basden, the parish priest in Ramsgate, England — where St. Augustine of Canterbury landed when he came to England at the urging of Pope Gregory the Great in 596 A.D., more than 1,400 years ago — was posted on the Rorate Caeli website. The essay is a strong defense of the traditional Catholic liturgy, and a sharp critique of the language and arguments used in the July 16 decree of Pope Francis limiting the use of the old liturgy, Traditionis custodes ("Of tradition the custodians"). I found the essay eloquent and compelling, so I decided to share it with you. (text below) *** Our present "liturgy wars" are, I think, only a part of a general perplexity among all Catholics — and among almost all other groups as well — regarding modernity and change. There are many in this age seeking to hold on to revered traditions against the general thrust of our society, a society inebriated with the idea of discovering how to make "everything new." Our global society is relentlessly doing away with its oldest traditions, not just in the Amazonian rain forests, but also in the hallways of great universities and in the churches, convents and monasteries of the world. One point that I would like to stress, for the record: the issue in the liturgy is not the issue of Latin, of using the Latin language. Latin is the official language of the Church, yet it is true that it is hard for most people to understand. For this reason, the Council Fathers agreed that, while they did wish to keep Latin in the liturgy (yes, they voted for a place of honor to be given to Latin, and what has come of that?), an effort should be made to use the vernacular. They agreed on that. This was intended to mean: translate the old Latin Mass so that people could understand it. And that desire was, and is, legitimate (within certain parameters). But what was done was not a translation. What was done was a re-writing. Nearly all the prayers were changed. And it was this that has concerned so many in the Church, from ordinary people (like myself) up to and including Pope Benedict XVI, who openly lamented that the Mass texts were not simply translated, but altered — modernized. This has been the issue: not so much using a modern language instead of Latin (though Latin has its dignity, and a sacred language has its value, as it does not change over time), but using the opportunity presented by the "reform" to change the prayers. It may be that there is a certain "rigorist" or "literalist" spirit that does (unfortunately) motivate many who (like myself) are concerned about the direction the liturgical "reform" has taken for 55 years and more. If so, then yes, the literalism and rigorism needs to be recognized, and dealt with, setting it aside out of true charity for others. But a desire to keep the truths of the faith, to retain uncorrupted the depositum fidei (deposit of the faith"), is not rigorism. It is fidelity, it is faithfulness. —RM
Yes, they are different things. The end of the world is a point in time and refers to a single event, while the end of times is a period of time, in which many events are to happen. Conchita was told by Our Lady in Garabandal that "after this Pope there will be three more, then will come the end of times". This does not mean that there will be no more popes, nor that the Church or the people will disappear, or the world end. Rather it means that there would only be three popes before we entered this new period called the end of times. The end of the world is not a lasting period of time, but a point in time, when Christ returns in Glory. Only God knows the day.
Yes, many people take the, ' End of Times', or last Pope to be the end of an Epoch or Age. I think this is meant to be the Flight of the Pope from Rome and the City itself being burnt to the ground as has been forecast in many Catholic Prophecies. A bit like the Fall of the Roman Empire and the emergence of the Church and Society in a new form... It means the End of the Papacy as was. Also the End of the World as was. The End of the Western Babylonian Empire...as our World is now so to speak...
the Vatican Council (I) ensures us of the papacy's lineage to the end of time, I believe this could be symbolized by the last pope (representing Peter) handing over the keys of Church command back to Christ.
Clear and to the point. Excellent. The following I like best. What was done was a re-writing. Nearly all the prayers were changed. If so, then yes, the literalism and rigorism needs to be recognized, and dealt with, setting it aside out of true charity for others. But a desire to keep the truths of the faith, to retain uncorrupted the depositum fidei (deposit of the faith"), is not rigorism. It is fidelity, it is faithfulness. I personally remember back in Benedict's Papacy, some prayers at Holy Mass were reverted to better reflect the original Latin. I greatly appreciated the changes in the Collects. They seemed to me to come to life! Safe in the Barque of Peter!
"Peter the Roman" is an epithet that highlights in a very strong way a close association with the Catholic Holy See, the Papacy and Rome. It seems to me that it might refer to a Pope who, following in the footsteps of Peter the Apostle, reestablishes the Holy See in Rome as the center and summit of all Christendom. This impression of mine presupposes some kind of discontinuity in the apostolic line of the papal power which could come to light in these last times. Saint Peter, by Vasco Fernandes (1529)
Hi Terry I hope all you and yours and everyone on the Forum had a Blessed Christmas despite often struggling with often really huge Crosses. I am afraid I missed the Mass over Christmas because of working Night Shifts but finally got to Mass (in the Old Rite) yesterday morning at 8Am. What a joy. My hunger for the Mass turned it to one of the most memorable Masses of my entire life. It reminded of Scott Hahn who , quoting the Church Fathers cites the Mass as being the entrance way to heaven. There at the Altar we join Our Blessed Mother, the angels, the saints, the Holy Souls in purgatory in the Eternal Sacrifice. Physical hunger makes food taste better, Spiritual Hunger makes the Liturgy taste better. I feel like . It feels like I got to go a hundred Masses at once. The Mass is so very,very special, such a joy. What a huge Christmas joy. One the other hand I watched a little of a Christmas Mass in the Archdiocese of Chicago . Chicago of course has Cardinal Cupich as boss who is currently going all out to wipe out the Old Rite. I post a little of this to show the kind of Liturgy the Cardinal approves and appears to wish us to welcome. No comment needed. It's clearly a total abomination.
The Fatima seerers speak of seeing in Rome a future Pope fleeing over the dead bodies of his fellow priests. I think the Prophecies of Blessed Elena Aiello give the best insight into this specific period.

Basden, in the same essay As an historian the above resonates - There is just no way the Novus Ordo will have any impact on our civilization in its current form.
I'm wondering about what exactly the author of the article finds to support in Pope Francis? I think everyone knows that we have had many "bad" popes throughout the centuries and he is one of them. I always thought that the prophecy saying to "Pray that the Pope does not leave Rome" already happened when Pope Benedict LEFT Rome, or the Papacy. I think Francis IS the bad pope of the prophecies.....
Saint John Bosco speaks of the Pope's exile for 200 days I think the enemies of the Church would take advantage of the vacancy in Rome to impose their destructive reforms and liturgical innovations on the local Churches, the Church without a primacy would be susceptible to divisions
