This time period and these events are I suspect what are referred to in the ten secrets of Medugorje and other Marian phenomena.
'The present wickedness of the world is only the beginning of the sorrows which must take place before the end of the world'. Pope St Pius X, E Supremi (On the Restoration of All Things in Christ) , October 4 1903 View attachment 3250
'All the strength of Satan's reign is due to the easygoing weakness of Catholics' Pope St Pius X http://cathnews.com/cathnews/22216-...ses-can-be-rolled-out-throughout-church-in-uk
Pope Pius XII (1876--1958) "We believe that the present hour is a dread phase of the events foretold by Christ. It seems that darkness is about to fall upon the whole world. Humanity is in the grip of a supreme crisis." 1931 View attachment 3251
I am worried by the Blessed Virgin’s messages to Lucy of Fatima. This persistence of Mary about the dangers which menace the Church is a divine warning against the suicide of altering the Faith, in Her liturgy, Her theology and Her soul…. I hear all around me innovators who wish to dismantle the Sacred Chapel, destroy the universal flame of the Church, reject her ornaments and make her feel remorse for her historical past. A day will come when the civilized world will deny its God, when the Church will doubt as Peter doubted. She will be tempted to believe that man has become God. In our churches, Christians will search in vain for the red lamp where God awaits them. Like Mary Magdalene, weeping before the empty tomb, they will ask, “Where have they taken Him?” E. Cardinal Pacelli said this in 1931. He became Pope Pius XII in 1939.
Pope Paul VI: The tail of the devil is functioning in the disintegration of the Catholic world. The darkness of Satan has entered and spread throughout the Catholic Church even to its summit. Apostasy, the loss of the faith, is spreading throughout the world and into the highest levels within the Church. Address on the Sixtieth Anniversary of the Fatima Apparitions, October 13, 1977. Pope Paul was dead 10 months later.
J. Cardinal Ratzinger: Yes, I have read [the Third Secret]. [It refers to] a radical call to conversion; the absolute seriousness of history; the dangers which threaten the faith and the life of the Christian and therefore (the life) of the world (Jesus, November 11, 1984). Cardinal Ratzinger became Pope Benedict the XVI in 2005.
In an address during the 1976 Eucharistic Congress in Philadelphia for the bicentennial celebration of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, Cardinal Karol Wojtyla said: 'We are now standing in the face of the greatest historical confrontation humanity has ever experienced. I do not think that the wide circle of the American Society, or the whole wide circle of the Christian Community realize this fully. We are now facing the final confrontation between the Church and the anti-church, between the gospel and the anti-gospel, between Christ and the antichrist. The confrontation lies within the plans of Divine Providence. It is, therefore, in God’s Plan, and it must be a trial which the Church must take up, and face courageously…' View attachment 3252
Peter, just want to bump your earlier post (thank you for posting this remarkable information), so that no one overlooks Francine's magnificent volumes (English translations) which can be downloaded: Volumes 1-4 of her writings in English can be downloaded at https://onedrive.live.com/?id=B14F478BA16042B4!2929&cid=B14F478BA16042B4&group=0
The prophecy was read out in Dublin by Dennis Wrigley, he said it was aimed at England but included Ireland too.
It's difficult to know Maryrose but I remember the visionaries in medj saying it was good to continue to have children. So if they know something we don't and can still say that, then it gives me great hope.
I'm in much the same boat maryrose, I was in Mellary etc too all those years ago and the people I tried to warn back then and since, now see me as a scaremonger, and my words fall on deaf ears.
Border Collie, I too jumped the gun years ago with my family concerning prophecies. What I had hoped would bring us closer together sparked skepticism and worse. Meanwhile, this is the state of the Church in the area where I live. It was taken last Ash Wednesday at a service and posted online by the pastor himself (pictured). View attachment 3267
