Malachi Martin said this very thing. He said that if they seize the Chair of Peter then we have crossed into terrible terrible unprecedented never before seen times that would shake the faith of Catherine of Siena or Teresa of Avila. He said we must beg God to be spared because our faith could be shredded to bits.
Whe. I was young folks simply called a spade for what it was and is. They called evil, evil and good , good. How I miss this.
No one can sieze the Chair of Peter without God's permission. Whatever He is doing, it is ultimately for our good. His ways are far above ours. Our Lady of Good Success told us what to do. We must pray, and cry to God in our hearts...and when all seems lost, Mary will come and restore everything. We will not be left orphans!
Yes, it is in God's permissive Will that all this is happening. I have always prayed for the purification of the Church and now satan is bold in his short time left and everything is coming out in the open. I just never realized the purification would be so painful, because I have felt as if I had been stabbed through the heart. We are into the worst punishment of mankind. Our Lady is at work and when she cleans house, the house shall be clean indeed. St. Anthony Maria Claret If you see a bad priest at the head of a parish, you should be afflicted and fear that perhaps our sins deserved such a horrible chastisement, for Sacred Scripture teaches us that the greatest and most terrible scourge that God sends to a people is to give it bad priests. Until the wrath of the Lord reaches its apex, He permits that nations arm themselves one against the other; that the fields become sterile; that hunger, desolation and death exert their dominium over the earth. However, when His just indignation reaches its climax, He sends the last and most atrocious of His punishments by allowing unfaithful ministers, stained priests, scandalous shepherds to appear among men. Then it happens that the abominations of the people are the cause of the bad priests, and the bad priests are the greatest punishment with which God chastises the people.
Thank you for this quote, Sam. I know what you mean, feeling stabbed through the heart. It is such a heavy, painful, confusing feeling that hurts like a betrayal from your own father. But it is true, our sins have brought this upon us, and we must go to God humbly, with contrite hearts. He will have pity on our tears, and already has our rescue in mind.
The gates of hell will not prevail. God is still in charge. Unprecedented means nothing to our all powerful God. Have faith. Even when Jesus died on the cross God was always in charge.
The Lord is perfectly Just and full of Mercy all at the same time. Jesus sits upon the Throne and Mary Our Queen Mother is to His right. Nothing and none can thwart the fulfillment of God's Plan and Promises! Pax Christi!
It’s noteworthy the number of recent alleged messages from seers that warn the faithful about the synod. Here’s but a small sample. Manuela Strack (I believe she’s a credible messenger but of course it’s for each one of us to discern) “… I have come to you in order to convert people, to call people to remain steadfast and true, to follow the tradition of the apostles and the Holy Scriptures. Pray for the Synod, in which the Devil [German: Ungeist] has his place. Pray very much! Gisella Cardia My children, beware of the wolves disguised as lambs, pray for the Church and for the consecrated so that they do not lead My children into the confusion that reigns at this time. Martin Gavenda Remain faithful to the teachings of my Son and to Holy Catholic Tradition, so that your consciences would not be distorted: the Triune God will be pleased with you Marco Ferrari the Holy Church is in great danger. The struggle is becoming more and more heated and for the Church, there will be a time of great trial and great darkness.
