KNOCK, Ireland (LifeSiteNews) — The Irish Catholic Bishops’ Conference has been addressed today by heterodox Jesuit priest Father James Martin in the Marian Shrine of Knock, Co. Mayo, where Our Lady appeared to villagers in 1879.
A trusted source in Ireland told LifeSiteNews that the meeting included discussions on how to implement the blessing of ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ 'couples' and even the desire to implement ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ 'marriage.
A notoriously pro-LGBT member of the Dicastery for Communications, Martin has enjoyed increasing papal favor despite his longstanding record of promoting LGBT ideology in dissent from Catholic teaching.

How ironic, meeting at Knock, the very place that god chose to warn 'all nations' to reject the Protestant mass of Cromwell.

La Salette and Knock
An allegorical interpretation

Heaven’s awareness of the freemasonic revolution against Christ and His Church was made known first to a French nun Sister Marie de St Pierre (1816-1848) and then by her request at La Salette in France on Sept. 19, 1846, where a crowned Mother of God appeared to two children. Among the most poignant predictions was that: ‘Rome will lose the faith and become the seat of the Antichrist.’ Three popes, Pius IX, Leo XIII and Pius X, approved this apparition, but the message was met with furious opposition from many bishops. It seems the Masons and some Masonic-controlled clergy already ensconced in the Church, must not have wanted any such revelations to be taken seriously.

Thirty-three years after the apparition, on 20th August 1879, a basilica at La Salette was consecrated, and the following day, August 21st, the Archbishop of Paris in France (representing the Melchisedech Priesthood and Melchisedech Kingship) crowned the statue of the Virgin of La Salette according to the prescription of the sacred Congregation of Rites. Heaven’s awareness, it seems, was given new impetus.

On the very same day as this coronation, 21st August 1879, as only heaven can co-ordinate, there occurred an active but silent apparition at Knock, a small town in west Connaught, Ireland, a place ‘ruggedly inhospitable and not conducive for agriculture.’

On that miserable wet night, in a meadow field outside the gable-end of the church of St John the Baptist, a small church ‘dedicated to all the nations of the world,’ there occurred an active but silent (i.e., the figures were speaking but could not be heard) apparition at Knock, that small town in Connaught. The apparition, which lit the immediate area with a brilliant light, included magnificent images of St Joseph (Powers-Priesthood-Tiara), the Virgin Mary, Saint John the Evangelist (Powers-Priesthood-Tiara), and a forlorn Lamb on an empty altar (Holy Sacrifice of the Mass) surrounded by angels, it of course representing Christ and the Sacrifice of the Catholic Latin Mass of the time, codified at the Council of Trent (1545-1563), all bathed in a wondrous light. This vision, mounted on an invisible platform a few feet above the tall grass, showed a crowned Blessed Virgin, with her hands held up praying to heaven. It showed a vested and mitred St John in full Mass vestments, superimposed between Mary and the Lamb, holding a book (his book of Revelation?) in one hand while gesturing in a preaching stance with the other. St Joseph, with his head bowed glancing sideways, was isolated, separated by a mysterious black line, noticed only by a few of the selected observers and seldom mentioned in books on the apparition.

‘Though the Knock witnesses experienced various emotions – happiness, wonder, devotion, exaltation of spirit, one being moved to tears – not one of them was rapt in ecstasy. None of them heard a word; neither did they receive any interior message or sign. That the Mother of God, who bade Bernadette pray for sinners, who had pleaded for conversion of life at La Salette, for prayers and penance at Fatima, should have remained silent to her devoted Irish children was, and still is, a stumbling block to many. There was no message, they say, so the Apparition is devoid of meaning.’ --- Mary Purcell, Our Lady of Knock, p.18.

Of course there was a message, similar to every other message from Heaven, all trying to save souls. Heaven does not indulge in meaningless pictures, but few, if any, could/can interpret this strange apparition of Knock because of its kind. The main reason for this is probably because Knock was not a proper ‘Marian’ message or prophesy, but a Johannine one, and, like his Apocalypse, has to be read in an allegorical sense, a form of exegesis thrown out by Martin Luther and one that is hardly ever found among modern Catholics. Thus a considerable amount of research on the place and its history and timing is needed to begin to try to interpret the message or warning. So, we can ask: (1) Why Knock: (2) To whom was it addressed: (3) Why was it silent: (4) What was it trying to tell us?

Before one can possibly try to understand such ‘messages’ from heaven, one must fully accept and comprehend the war declared by God in Genesis 3:15 between the Christ and the antichrist, and know how this battle of ‘Principalities and Powers’ is carried out on a temporal and spiritual plane. The message of Knock, we suspect, was, like the Book of Revelation, a warning to the flock of the current state of this war as it was in 1879 and warning of what was to happen in the future.

It is obvious the apparition at Knock cannot be interpreted by way of theological norms. Its purpose therefore is allegorical, coming as it did in the wake of the continuous attacks on Europe’s Christian Kingships and the Papal States in the early years of the 19th century; most by then replaced by Masonic republics, democracies etc., all now under the sole protection of Mary in Heaven. It is also a fact that the only place where the word allegory is mentioned in Scripture is in St Paul’s Letter to the Galatians: ‘things are said by an allegory’ (Gal. 4:24). We also know that it was the Galatians who were advised that if an angel from heaven should preach a different gospel to that which they had been taught, to reject it. (Gal 1:8)

Scholars on the origin of European peoples tell us that a fair number of the old and true Galatians (Celts) had migrated from southern Europe to the northern states including Ireland and settled there. Then along came Oliver Cromwell with his infamous reform in the sixteenth century. Cromwell, that docuмented Satanist who conquered in the name of God, was the first to deliberately usurp the divine right of kings by purging his own in England and replacing him with the beginnings of freemasonic ‘democracy,’ where men alone and not kings subservient to God would rule the world according to their own laws. Cromwell, who committed untold atrocities against the Catholic Irish, was a champion of what he called ‘religious liberty,’ but this liberty did not include traditional Catholicism and certainly not the traditional Latin Mass which he hated. Thus began the Penal times for Irish Catholics. One of these laws was against the traditional Catholic Mass, with penalties as severe as death to priests caught saying it. Hereunder is a picture depicting one of these hidden Masses, with British soldiers searching for them.

It was then Cromwell ordered all Catholics of Ireland to decide their destiny: ‘To hell or to Connaught.’ Choosing Connaught to death, or Protestantism, some Catholics moved into this desolate, infertile and barren west of Ireland where they continued to be persecuted in any event. It was their descendants, some of those Celts who resided there from early times that occupied Knock in 1879. Weren’t these people some of the same flock that St Paul had advised ‘things are said by allegory,’ a place worthy to convey to the world a message wrapped in allegory as happened at Knock.

Johannine Message?

Now why can Knock be interpreted as a Johannine message rather than a Marian one? Well Knock was also the site of a church named after St John the Baptist, with its inscription on the west wall that reads: ‘My house shall be called the house of prayer to all nations. This is the gate of the Lord: the just shall enter into it.’ Knock then was a Johannine link ‘to all nations.’ Add this to the fact that St John the Evangelist was present in the apparition, preaching a silent message from the book in his left hand. The appearance of the two St Johns of course leads us to yet another combination of the same saints, the fact that Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ chose them as it patron saints.

Here above is a picture of Masonic symbolism for phallic fecundation by word, the profane version of the fructification of the waters by Word. It shows the two St Johns, the Baptist on the left, and the Evangelist on the right. Of profound importance in Albert Pike’s revelations is the reference to the Johannites and the fact that by then, 1870, the ‘Order that has existed for centuries in despite of its anathemas, has its Sanctuaries and Asyla even in Rome.’ We need to know that the entire profane religion of Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ is built on the great truth of esoteric Catholicism is termed Johannism, they having chosen St John the Baptist and St John The Evangelist as the patron saints of Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ.

The Biblical Apocalypse tells of the snatching of divine fecundity by the dragon as the mystic issue is born at the foot of the cross. This then is why the Gnostic-Illuminati chose the two St Johns to profane among all the saints? Almost certainly it was to arrogate to themselves symbolically the divine fecundating power of St John in his baptism and that preserved alive in St John (and Mary) between Calvary and Pentecost, a fecundating or generation power impossible to Lucifer. Be aware also, Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ was very active in Ireland and even Knock, as it was in Fatima in 1917, doing the work of the Devil.

‘Grand Lodge of Ireland is the second most senior Grand Lodge of Freemasons in the world, and the oldest in continuous existence. Since no specific record of its foundation exists, 1725 is the year celebrated in Grand Lodge anniversaries, as the oldest reference to Grand Lodge of Ireland comes from the Dublin Weekly Journal of 26 June 1725. This describes a meeting of the Grand Lodge to install the new Grand Master, the 1st Earl of Rosse, on 24 June. The Grand Lodge has regular Masonic jurisdiction over 13 Provincial Grand Lodges covering all the Freemasons of the island of Ireland, and another 12 provinces worldwide.’ --- Wikipedia.

The Parish Priest of Knock at the time was Archdeacon Cavanagh, a saintly man, full of devotion to Our Lady and her Immaculate Conception. In May of 1879, Fr Cavanagh began a novena of 100 Masses for the souls in Purgatory, the final Mass being said on the morning of the day that the vision appeared. Not known to many and hardly ever broached is the fact that in Mayo at the time, Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ was active. It has been written that a group of Freemasons from Foxford had planned to ambush Fr Cavanagh and cut off his ears on the day he finished his century of Masses.

Now while the Church has never officially interpreted the apparition at Knock, the Freemasons, who know the state of the war of Genesis 3:15 far better than even the most learned Catholic, had their own image of the war of Principalities and Powers.’ As you can see in the Masonic illustration above, which has as its background one of its symbols of equilibrium, a balanced ladder, two of the serpent’s heads are held high in victory, one with the sword and one with the kingly crowns, depicting their victory over the Christian kingdoms of the world for all to see. The third head however, with its papal tiara (the coronation crown, a symbol abandoned and sold by Pope Paul VI in the 1970s and which led to Pope John Paul II’s refusal even to be crowned Pope in 1978). This battle against the Mass of all time and its priesthood, similar to that of Cromwell, had yet to be won. Destroy the Mass and destroy the source of most graces, a destruction that would destroy the Catholic faith itself.

Another factor in an allegorical understanding of Knock in the fact that 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 Dec. 1649, and issued a proprio motu, 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. Given the universal nature of a proprio motu, i.e., a message for ‘all nations’, we feel there is a connection between the three elements mentioned here.

Fascinating and wonderful as the actual events of the sighting were, space does not permit a complete account. We can say the sensational events of the day saved Fr Cavanagh ears, but as divine Providence would have it this saintly priest was not to witness the vision. A reason for this could be to save the vision from accusations of being conjured up by a priest so pious and spiritual that the world may not have believed it. Instead it was to be witnessed by a group of people, of all ages, the likes of which could be found anywhere. Such a group could not be said to have had illusions, nor could a motive for any conspiracy be levelled at them. Great miracles later gave final witness to its authenticity. There was also something unique as regards those that witnessed it. Unlike the Marion apparitions of the times, messages confined to one, two or three persons, usually children, eighteen people were granted the experience at Knock, aged between six and seventy-five. Here is a second sign that the vision was meant for the special attention of all those that would heed it.

Final Interpretation

God never leaves us ignorant. It is plain to see that God chose Knock to warn Catholics of the greatest battle of all to come, the attempt to try to eliminate the Latin Mass of all ages by replacing it with one similar to that of Oliver Cromwell. Nowhere else in the world or in history after Holy Thursday was there mention of an attack on this Mass of all time. The Message 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. Given the Mass is the source of grace that enables Catholics to keep the faith and thus keep Christianity alive and well, there is no doubt Knock was warning of an attack on the Mass and its priesthood to come. (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).

There 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 the Catholic Mass of Knock and its priesthood, the same Mass that Oliver Cromwell had tried to suppress and substitute with one more based on Protestant lines, a Mass the Irish were warned by proprio motu in 1649 not to be deceived by. We refer of course to the Latin Mass of Trent and Knock in 1879, 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 forms of ‘service’ was spreading throughout Europe. 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 helping millions to keep the faith 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; yes John, the first to do so in 500 years. Accordingly he became Pope John XXIII, the same 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. Pope John 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. As regards the Mass, well it too was to be renewed to make it more compatible to Protestants and others. 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. What was once the same Mass worldwide, signifying a unity in Catholicism, became a potpourri similar to a Protestant meal service, while other such Masses were adopted to accommodate such things from clowns to ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs. Needless to say, millions abandoned such graceless Novus Ordos, priests left their duties in their droves, and 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. 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 ‘renewed’ doctrines and Masses of Vatican II.

Knock Today

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. But worse that that, for now heretics and schismatics are welcome, but those dedicated to the traditional teaching of Catholicism and the Mass of 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.’

In retrospect, whereas Knock would be established as a Marian shrine, an allegorical interpretation of the apparition has to show a warning of the final assault on the Melchisedech priesthood and traditional Mass by Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ within the Church, which happened at Vatican II (begun from within the Church by a pope who had to be named John) , both almost eliminated worldwide by the end of the twentieth century.
Be aware also that here at la Salette and Knock, the latter witnessed by so many people of all ages and dispositions, the master conspiracy is confirmed, and the enemy, the Johannites, identified for those who want to see. The place of Knock has to be one of the most important shrines in the world, and given the new religion practiced by the authorities in Rome and Knock itself today, the apparition’s symbolism may well be the only spiritual refuge left in a Masonic-controlled world for any adept that may be converted by the grace of God.

They reject the word of God and have come to worship Satan.

Maybe St. John is saying in silent , “Open and read your bibles.”

Jesus’ view on marriage is that it is to be between one man and one woman. He refers to the created order that is revealed in the book of Genesis, particularly Genesis 2:24. In this verse, we see the creation of Adam and Eve and the admonition for the man and woman to join and become one flesh. Jesus referenced them.

Matthew 19:4-6, “And He answered and said, ‘Have you not read that He who created them from the beginning made them male and female, 5 and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? 6 “So they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate.’”

Thanks Cassini for this piece on Knock. I do find it interesting that the Apparition of Knock was "silent," and of course we who attend the Latin Low Mass can relate to its silent nature. Contrast this with the Novus Ordo Mass which is all about noise. The whole nature of New Mass is that if the priest faces the people and makes some noise, then the people will be better able to relate to the divine.

In 1879 the world was still silent (the steam engine being the one exception), but all that would change with the radio, the television, and cellphones.
