    Being a billionaire certainly doesn't necessarily imply wickedness. It does seem to make it a lot more likely, but there are exceptions to nearly every rule.

    Just thinking about that satanic symbolism. Consider how unoriginal it is. Satan is nothing but a negation...everything comes from the Creator. Satan is nothingness, the absence of the Good, without which leaves nothing. The symbol is a goat's head, derived from Our Lord's separation of the sheep and the goats; containing an inverted cross, an upturning of The Cross upon which Jesus died to allow us to reject Satan. Despite all the madness, evil and rejection of God, everything is still revolving around the centre that is The Christ.

    So so true. Even the heresies through the centuries. They are all the same original ones just dressed up in new costumes. Nothing new. And essentially the temptations are all basically "did God say...." introducing nuance:eek: and doubt and false mercy. Same old same old.

    I think people who use the goat and st peters cross are "edgy"\LARPers and not real occultists. Which DO exist and commune with demonic entities.

    I doubt it can be dismissed as mere "edginess". Why would You Tube censor something as innocuous as that? Even if this is all it was, it's at best playing with fire.

    I agree. If you're not for Christ, you're against Him. If you're willing to take on these symbols, then you're willing to open yourself up to the demonic and their influence. Also, many satanists try to present a deception/front of just being edgy or rebellious so that people won't keep them too strongly on their radar.

    I found this very interesting list. Forbes and others have a policy of not listing criminals , drug lords, or royalty, this list shows those secret characters :sneaky:
    saudi king, dictators, etc
    pablo escobar isnt listed but he was worth 30 billion, for example ,in the pre-pop-billionarie era . I have a political relative whose dad fought him, everyone in the family learnt to shoot guns for safety:eek:

    We're probably in the midst of a civilisational collapse. It's hard to discern because the lifetime of civilisations is much longer than the human lifespan, so we're stuck in a particular moment. History suggests that the social heresies and disorders that are growing are not qualities of a new civilisation that is magically emerging chrysalis-like from the old order, but the typical symptoms of the loss of discipline associated with the decline of all civilisations, there being none that have not yet completely collapsed. Our progressives imagine that civilisation is an easy thing, sustainable by an 'anything goes' attitude, but all civilisations, and this has been lucidly demonstrated by historians, required foundations of rigid discipline and self-sacrifice, most notably in the reproductive realm. It has been convincingly demonstrated that all civilisations have fallen in tandem with a relaxation of the principles of strict pre-marital abstinence and post-marital monogamy. Those built on polygamy, as clearly demonstrated by the historical facts, are capable of maintaining a civilisation, but of a kind that is severely restricted in the heights achievable.

    Therefore, the Western world is facing a future devoid of civilisation, which will be extremely unpleasant. It won't happen overnight, but like all such phenomena will finish surprisingly quickly after a slow approach. Those of us on here may be spared the final doom, please God, but our children and grandchildren are unlikely to be as lucky. We can only hope and pray that, as with Rome, the Catholic Faith will retain the seeds of a new civilisation which can eventually rise from the chaotic remains of the dead one. We have Our Lord's assurance that this will continue to be so. The Gates of Hell shall not prevail, but this does not imply that they won't have a jolly good run before being subdued.

    Sadly, Pope Francis is not providing any assistance to the provision and storage of those necessary, aforementioned Catholic seeds. Indeed, he seems to be trying his best to poison and liquidate them. Ironically, he will almost certainly achieve the opposite effect, but this will reflect no credit upon him, no more than that which was upon Caiaphas for his role in the Crucifixion and Resurrection.

    That's my reading of the situation. May God forgive me, if I'm wrong.
     
  10. Hi DeGaulle
    Thank you for going to so much trouble to respond to my post. I was simply using this quote to suggest that Pope Francis, as he contemplates the trip to Moscow prophesied at Garabandal, is fully aware of our temporal circumstance and the implications of that prophesy.

    It means that hostilities in Europe will escalate but not to a world war, and will follow as soon as he returns to the Vatican. We know that the Vatican was told the date of The Miracle by Conchita under obedience. If so it also knows the year of the Warning but not the exact date. The Feast Of The Epiphany is Jan 6 2024.

    We know the Miracle will come in April of an even year. One of the seers suggested a possible gap of 3 months between The Warning and The Miracle according to The Blessed Mother. ( she could not recollect if it was 3 weeks or three months) The Warning will be the greatest Epiphany (awakening) the world has ever had so it may fall on that Feast.

    Much needs to happen for a 2024 Warning and Miracle but we have been told that Russia will move “suddenly and unexpectedly.” Perhaps the world will wrongly believe that the papal visit succeeded in brokering peace.

    The Warning however will be far more sudden and unexpected than the Russian onslaught. Added to its many graces it will also serve to give peace a chance and to avoid the Chastisement. We may have to wait until 2026. It has been said that faith needs patience.

    Joseph Gregory, I so hope that you are right, because without the intervention of Our Lady, the future seems as grim as I described it in my post above. However, I still find it hard to accept that Pope Francis, from what we've seen of him, would pay any attention to these prophesies, except perhaps only to scoff. Of course, his opinion has nothing to do with whether and when they come about. The Lord is abundant in His mercy and let's hope He will spare us from this cup.

    But, if he knows, why does he not bear proper witness? Why Amoris laetiti, why Pachamama, why Bonino, why Scalfari, why attack those he labels 'rigid' for holding to the Faith, why suppress the Mass of the ages?

    Good question. But we know that God is omniscient and omnipotent.

    Great questions. But like HH wrote God is omnipotent. He is the one in charge. Maybe Pope Francis like a good modern Jesuit today is playing devil’s advocate. Jesuits today allow different opinions. Their way is to make people think for themselves. It’s why we are in so much trouble. The formation is not accurate. I can’t find a priest in my city, who believes the act of homosexuality is an abomination. It’s horrible. If it weren’t for priests like Fr Blount, I would be totally alone.

    I know exactly what you mean. I know of one priest here who denounces sin. And he gets grief for it.:eek:

  17. I understand your concerns, Byron and De Gaulle but must say I am blessed with good holy, learned, orthodox priests not afraid to preach on sin, heaven and hell and go against the grain of the culture of death. I know of several parishes that enjoy the same and all the benefits they provide. Just what an old sinner like me needs.

    In my parish we enjoy the full Catholic sacramental and devotional life I remember from my childhood. Will it last? I certainly hope so.

    I think of the prayer that priests used to say before feeding the Eucharist to every communicant: Corpus Domini nostri Jesu Christi custodiat animam tuam in vitam aeternum. Amen. Translated - May the Body of Our Lord Jesus Christ preserve thy soul to life everlasting. Amen. With the good catechesis of the day no further Amen was needed. Just silent, reverent and compliant reception.

    The priest in persona Christi opened his arms in supplication and praise enveloping the congregation in his prayer as he prayed the Our Father. Nowadays the congregation adopts the Protestant posture of prayer rather than joining their hands and humbly placing themselves mentally and spiritually between the hands of the priest.

    Just so the peace of Christ was all the peace we needed as it is a peace not as the world gives but proper only to Christ and those anointed in His Name.

    Thank God the words of Consecration were eventually restored and pro multis was translated properly. No further affirmation was needed, just silent adoration.

    It is the priest who still offers the mass in persona Christi for our salvation. It is a horrible thought that a time will come when it will seem that the Church has all but disappeared. May the Lord preserve us indeed.

    I still believe that Pope Francis is the Pope of the new era marked by the tribulations, the Warning and The Miracle which is for the conversion of the world to belief in Christ as taught by the Roman Catholic Church.

    Just like everyone else the Pope’s conscience will be corrected if it has caused him to sin. I have no doubt about that. I have received great mercy in my life and I pray the same for Pope Francis.

    The only local priest here who preaches explicitly about sin is the youngest in the diocese. Hopefully, that's a sign of things to come.

    There were, and hopefully still are, some Jesuits who retain the facility to make one think, without entering into heresy and blasphemy. I can think of the recently deceased Father Schall, for one.
