What was the message of Knock? Apologies for delay Anon, and for different sized paragraphs. It happens when I paste.
The next step is to try to interpret the ‘message’ of Knock. In the first place it is obvious that the Lamb on the altar dominates this vision, that is, the holy sacrifice of the Mass, celebrated by the Catholic priesthood. To this end we note the presence of St Joseph, a ‘son of David’, as we know from the Gospels, making him a Melchisedech priest (even though St Joseph never used his priesthood), and whose status was completed by divine Providence at Vatican I making him Patron of the Universal Church. He, like the Lamb on the altar is isolated, almost ‘out of the picture’ so to speak, and this was confirmed when that black line was later revealed, separating the vision into two frames. In other words, the Melchisedech priesthood of the Church is here ‘outside,’ just as the vision itself was placed ‘outside’ the Church of St John the Baptist.
Mary wears the rose and crown, symbols of those Principalities now lost. In other words she is now representing the lost Kingdoms, she being the unshakable Queen of all nations. The Blessed Virgin is looking to heaven, her hands raised as Advocate or Orante, that is, in the manner of a priest during the Canon of the Mass, pleading, to her Son to avert some disaster to come. St John the Evangelist stands beside the altar, clearly reading from his Book of Revelations that foresees all things to come.It is here we will show others with knowledge of the ongoing battle of Principalities and Powers, one of those instruments used by Satan to do his work of eliminating all means of graces that are needed to save souls from Hell, Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ. Here below they illustrate their position at the time of Knock.
‘And that great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, who seduceth the whole world. And he was cast unto the earth: and his angels were thrown down with him.’ (Rev. 12:9.)
Beneath we see the Masonic serpent with three heads. Two of these are raised, signifying the Masonic victory of the sword over the Melchisedech Kingship of Christianity. Not yet achieved at the time - its head still on the ground - is victory over the Melchisedech priesthood represented by the papal tiara on the serpent’s head. Let us recall here the ‘Permanent Instruction of the Alta Vendita,’[1] otherwise known as the ‘Alta Vendita Plan’ discovered in 1820, which speaks of working for a generation that will rejoice in having a pope ‘according to our wants’ and of a clergy who will ‘march under our banner in the belief always that they march under the banner of the Apostolic Keys.’ Significant also, is the symbol of Masonic-equilibrium, (false teaching) the ladder, dominating all.
[1] The secret papers of the Alta Vendita (written in the early 1800s), highest lodge of the Italian secret society, the Carbonari, acquired by Pope Gregory XVI and, on the orders of Pope Pius IX and Pope Leo XIII, was published by Cretineau-Joly in his work The Roman Church and Revolution, reprinted in 1885 and many times since. So, is there anything else of an allegorical nature about Knock that can give us a clue to the message? Yes there is, but we must now delve back into history to find it. On May 15th, 1213, King John, yes John, offers the Kingdoms to God through the Apostles Peter and Paul. ‘I, John, by the grace of God king of England and lord of Ireland,from this hour forward will be faithful to God and the blessed Peter and the Roman Church,and my lord the Pope Innocent and his successors following in Catholic manner.’ May 13, 1879 was the eve of the completion of 666 years since the act of consecration of Ireland and England. On the following day the 100 Masses that precede the apparition begin. In August 1649, the Puritan Oliver Cromwell, a British military and political leader invaded Ireland to quell an anti-Protestant revolt, conquering all he met. In response to Cromwell’s campaign to destroy the Christian Kingdom of Ireland, the Catholic Ecclesiastical Congregation of the Kingdom of Ireland met at Clonmacnoise on the 4th of December 1649, and issued a Motu Proprio, with reference to the English government’s intention to ‘extirpate’ (eradicate or destroy completely) the Catholic religion, warning Catholics not to be deceived by those supposedly acting in the name of God.[1] Given the universal nature of a proprio motu, i.e., a message for ‘all nations’, we feel there is a continuity and connection between the three elements mentioned here. ‘Take away the Mass, destroy the Church’ … Martin Luther.‘The Devil has always, by means of heretics, to deprive the world of the Mass. Making them precursors of the Antichrist, who before anything else, will try to abolish, and will actually abolish the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass as a punishment for the sins of men, according to the prediction of Daniel, “and strength was given him against the continual Sacrifice.”’--- St Alphonsus.
It was Cromwell who imposed the Penal Laws against the majority of Roman Catholics in Ireland, as well as confiscating a substantial amount of their lands and dwellings. These were a series of laws imposed in an attempt to force Irish Roman Catholics to accept the Protestantism of England. Cromwell, that docuмented Satanist who conquered in the name of his god, was one of the first to usurp the divine right of kings by purging his own Charles I of England, a Protestant married to a Catholic, and replacing him with the beginnings of freemasonic ‘democracy,’ where men and not kings subservient to God, would rule the world according to their own laws. Cromwell, who committed untold atrocities against the Catholic Irish, first and foremost hated the Catholic Mass. A champion of ‘liberty of conscience’ or ‘religious liberty,’ but this liberty did not include the traditional Latin Mass. Cromwell, a Satanist as we said, knew that the Mass of all time, the Mass of Trent, the Council that condemned Protestantism, was the way of Catholicism. He knew that to destroy the Mass was to destroy the priesthood, and destroy the Catholic Faith. Accordingly, Catholic priests were killed and expelled, with penalties as severe as death to those caught saying the Mass and punishment for those Catholics caught attending it. Here is a picture depicting Cromwell’s soldiers finding such a Mass.
[1]See, for example, Tom Reilly, Cromwell, Brandon Books, Dublin, 1999, pp. 292-3. It was during these times, in 1653 that Cromwell, having taken the lands off Catholics in Leinster, Munster and Ulster and given them to his soldiers and friends, ordered the remaining 850,000 Catholics of Ireland to be deported as slaves to the West Indies or go ‘To hell or to Connaught,’ that is to the west counties of Ireland or be killed. All Catholic priests not immediately killed at sight during the war were to get out of the country by 1654. Choosing Connaught to execution, many Catholics moved into this desolate, infertile and barren west of Ireland where they continued to be persecuted in any event. It was their descendants and those of the Celts who resided there from early times that occupied Knock in Connaught in 1879, the time heaven chose to give its warning. Final Interpretation God never leaves us ignorant. It is plain to see that God chose La Salette and then Knock to warn Catholics of the greatest battle of all to come, another attempt to try to eliminate traditional Catholicism and the Latin Mass of Trent by replacing it with one similar to that of Oliver Cromwell. Nowhere else in the history of the world after Holy Thursday was there a heavenly mention of an attack on the Mass of all time. In no other vision in history was the lamb on the altar portrayed. The Message here is delivered by St John the Evangelist, author of the Book of Revelation, the Book of Prophecy; the Book predicting a great apostasy incorporating the Beast, the forces of Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ.[1] Given the Mass is the source of grace that enables Catholics to know and keep the faith and thus Christianity alive and well, there is no doubt Knock was a reminder of Our Lady’s warning that of an attack on the Mass, its priesthood, and Catholicism to come throughout all the Catholic nations on Earth.
[1] Five Papal Bulls have been directed against it by name, in 1738, 1751, 1821, 1826, 1864, and Pope Leo XIII would warn the Catholic world against it in Humanum Genus within five years (1884).HindsightThere is of course yet another means by which the interpretation of Knock can be known; by way of time itself. In 1884, five years after the apparition at Knock, Pope Leo XIII had an experience of his own, hearing the Lord allowing the Devil 75 to 100 years to try to destroy Catholicism on Earth. Unlike those trying to interpret the message of knock in 1879, and for many years after that, we now live in times well past those 75 to 100 years and can now see for ourselves what happened to Rome as La Salette predicted, the Catholic Mass of Knock and its priesthood, the one that Oliver Cromwell had tried to suppress and substitute, a Mass defended like so in 1570: “Quo Primum” is a papal bull decreed by Pope St. Pius V on July 14, 1570, which set in stone for all time the exactness of the holy sacrifice of the Mass to be said in the mother tongue of the Church. To quote his instruction: “t shall be unlawful henceforth and forever throughout the Christian world to sing or to read Masses according to any formula other than that of this Missal published by Us; ...” Another: “... which shall have the force of law in perpetuity, We order and enjoin under pain of Our displeasure that nothing be added to Our newly published Missal, nothing omitted therefrom, and nothing whatsoever altered therein.” Another: “In the case of those resident in other parts of the world it shall be excommunication ‘latae sententiae’ and all other penalties at Our discretion ...” Finally: “Should any person venture to do so, let him understand that he will incur the wrath of Almighty God and of the blessed Apostles Peter and Paul.”While not set in ‘infallible stone,’ the intent of this pope was to secure the unity the Latin Mass gave to Catholics worldwide. By then Protestantism with its own form of vernacular ‘service’ was spreading throughout Europe, breaking up into many different churches, all Christian unity gone. Now while very minor additions were added to the Catholic Mass right up to 1962 by different popes, the Latin Mass remained the same, its graces, instructions and Holy Communion kneeling on the tongue helping millions to keep the faith world-wide and drawing many, many vocations to the priesthood.
On 28 October 1958 however, at age 76, Cardinal Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli was elected pope taking the name Pope John of course; yes John, the first to do so in 500 years. Accordingly he became Pope John XXIII, the same name as the last Pope John XXIII (1410-1415) who was declared an anti-pope by the Church. Soon after his election John XXIII called a council of the Church, Vatican II. He said the call came to him in a dream. From where that dream came from we can only guess. Pope John XXIII promised a ‘renewal’ in the Church that was flourishing at the time. History records tradition was ‘thrown’ out of Vatican II to be replaced by ‘renewal,’ especially by way of ecuмenism, not a renewed conversion of non-Catholics but an acceptance of non-Catholicism without conversion. As regards the Mass, well it too was renewed to make it more compatible to ‘all in the world.’ To begin with, it was proposed the language of the Mass be changed from the Latin to the vernacular, the language of peoples all around the world. Cardinal Ottaviani said of this move:
‘To abandon liturgical tradition which for centuries was both the sign and the pledge of unity of worship (and to replace it with another which cannot but be a sign of division by virtue of the countless liberties simplicity authorised, and which teems with insinuations or manifest errors against the integrity of the Catholic religion) is, we feel in conscience bound to proclaim an incalculable error.’
Everything Ottaviani said came to pass. First the Latin was abolished, and then its format was altered and important parts of the old Mass were disposed of. Altars were torn out of their original positions, replaced with tables, just like the Protestants use for their ‘meal.’ The priest now faces the people with his back to the tabernacles of the old churches. Holy Communion, the actual body, blood, soul and divinity of Christ, is now distributed to the hand to queues lining up to receive. What was once the same Latin Mass worldwide, signifying a unity in Catholicism, became a potpourri with additions now according to the wishes of each parish priest, to accommodate such things from ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs to clowns to animals, happy-happy clapping, talking events, some including women, dancing in the sanctuary, all now docuмented by way of video. Gone is the fact that the Mass is an enactment of the events of Calvary. Can one imagine such behaviour in front of a sacrificing Christ dying on the Cross? Needless to say, millions abandoned these graceless Novus Ordos, priests left their duties in their droves, vocations dried up, seminaries, convents etc., emptied and Catholicism lost all its influence in the world.
Nevertheless, the traditional Latin Mass of Trent and Pope Pius V survived in the era of the Novus Ordo. In particular, a society of priests, the SSPX, was founded with the intention of keeping the Latin Mass and traditional teachings of the Church alive. Their Masses and traditional teachings were sough out by Catholics shocked by the ‘renewed’ doctrines and Masses of Vatican II.
Knock Today
Picture showing Muslims, Protestants and Syrian schismatics welcome, but not the Latin Mass of Trent.
In Ireland there was a traditional SSPX pilgrimage to a Mass rock first and then on to Knock for rosary and devotions. In recent years the authorities at Knock allowed the Latin Mass to be said in the church of the Apparition, with the usual 15 decades of the rosary and devotions afterwards. In 2017 however, on informing the authorities of their proposed visit they were told they were forbidden to say Mass in any of the Knock buildings. Members of the annual trip decided they would bring a tent with them for the Mass. On September 15th, 2017 however, two young priests of the Society, one American and the other Australian, with a congregation of around 100 men, women and children, upon their putting up the tent were asked to take it down and leave the grounds of Knock. This order was questioned and one of the security men went off to check up on it. When he returned the message was clear, yes, the group was to vacate the Knock shrine grounds and not to return for their rosary or anything as a group. The reason given was that the Society of Pope Pius X are ‘canonically irregular.’ Given the SSPX is a society of priests, the 100 or so on the pilgrimage with them were wondering if they too were considered ‘irregular’ when told not to come back for their rosary? The two priests were shocked to say the least but told all to leave quietly and with dignity. It seems heretics and schismatics are welcome in Knock, but those Catholics dedicated to the traditional teaching of Catholicism and the Mass of all ages are no longer welcome. It was raining at the time. Given there was ‘no room at the inn’ they looked for somewhere to say their Mass. As it happened, a restaurant car-park owner gave permission for the priests to say their Mass in it. Kneeling in the wet mud, the priest, under an umbrella, Christ’s sacrifice was re-enacted. The pilgrims then said the full rosary along the streets of Knock village.“By their Fruits you will know them”The good Lord told us: ‘By their fruits you shall know them.’ Could anyone be in any doubt now that the apparition at this same church of St John the Baptist of 21st August 1879, foretold the return of Cromwell’s hatred and suppression of the traditional Latin Mass. It is almost unbelievable that those who are now implementing Cromwell’s orders to suppress the Mass defended by Pope Pius V, do so under orders from Rome, the same Rome Our Lady at La Salette warned ‘would become the seat of the Antichrist.’ The Mass that Pope Pius V tried to protect was abandoned by Rome. With it went the graces necessary to remain Catholic, obedient to the commandments of God and His Church. What are left in the Novus Ordo church now obey their own conscience, which as often as not differ from the teachings of the Church. Proof of this came in Ireland when ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ ‘marriage’ was voted into law by a majority. In 2018, the same Catholic majority of Ireland voted to remove from the Irish constitution all rights of the unborn, allowing their abortion according to civil law. Comment by a friend.
‘Many of my ‘Novus Ordo’ friends go on regular day trips/pilgrimages and visits to Knock Shrine. They return seeming more and more confused about the Catholic Faith, relating wonderful testimonies delivered by ‘speakers,’ mostly non-practicing ‘pick’n mix’ lay Catholics or non Catholics. They attend Guided Prayer Sessions given by ‘mufti’ nuns promoting New Age ideologies. ‘Healing Services’ are offered in the middle of Mass after the Gospel, announced as ‘The Sacrament of the Sick.’ I stood in the line at one of these ‘Sessions’ myself to inquire from the priest if this was ‘Extreme Unction’ as I didn’t know there were eight Sacraments. He became a bit uneasy, and said ‘Speak to me later.’ I declined! Catholics are being as seriously misled in Knock as they are now in Novus Ordo churches. I believe its present practices are a danger to the Faith. How sad! I would never go there again unless I could be part of a Traditional pilgrimage similar to one I experienced three years ago when I was privileged to attend a SSPX pilgrimage there. Holy Mass was offered in the Apparition Church (with permission). So many ‘modern’ people joined with the ‘irregular’ group that the church was overflowing. The priest had to return to the altar to subdivide the Sacred Host many times during the distribution of Holy Communion. It was like the miracle of the loaves and fishes. Everybody received, kneeling and on the tongue. There was silence in the church that day. Our Lady was truly at the Foot of The Cross of Calvary. My guess is that this didn't go unnoticed by the ‘Powers that Be.’
On September 16th 2017, they ensured that the regular pilgrims would not witness the True Mass.
May Our Lady of Knock restore the Mass of all ages to our altars. (Imelda Tobin).
