  • OK.

    So, what about the See being moved to Fatima - what does THAT mean to you (considering you said you thought the secret was authentic)?

    Clearly it has to do with the Blessed Mother and "the Reign of Mary." This will come after the Pope consecrates Russia to the Immaculate Heart. There will then be a short Era of Peace before the final battle with Satan (all happening within a few years). Then the Second Coming will happen. Then the General Judgement. Then the NHNE.

    But before all of that the Warning and the Miracle will happen. Those events are coming very soon.

    So, you still think it is in Rome for now?

    I don't think the Pope is in Rome right now. And wherever the Pope is, there the See will be.

    The Freemasonic prophecy says the Pope will be moved to Russia, hidden away, and protected by the Slavic autocrat. And after some time he will come out of hiding. Presumably this will be around the time of the Consecration.

    It all fits with the Fatima prophecy regarding the Consecration of Russia. But the Pike-Mazzini letter, speaks of these events involving Russia, but that letter was written in 1871.

    The Fatima prophecy came out in 1929, the same year the Lateran Treaty was signed. The LT was signed on February 11, 1929 (February 11 was the same day BXVI "resigned"). And the LT was ratified by the Italian parliament on June 7, 1929. A week later Sr. Lucia received the Tuy Locution.

  • The Letter of the Secret Chiefs (Pike to Mazzini) counts the same seven Popes. But he calls the BXVI the "Pope-Errant" (the Wandering Pope). He is called the "sixth successor of the man of pride under who the temporal power of the infamous pontificate has collapsed."

    The temporal power formally/legally collapsed when Pius XI signed the Lateran Treaty. The "man of pride" is just Albert Pike, the Freemason, bad-mouthing Pius XI. So, the "sixth successor" after Pius XI is:





    https://copilot.microsoft.com/chats/oM2g7aF6G13F1SsyQsi8W

    I think the AI understands it better.

    Plus, if it is prophecy - it is most certainly the prophecy of devils - which makes it tricky to deal with because they are consummate LIARS.

    Nonetheless, from above you can see the AI thinks the "man of sin" is NOT Pius XI but Pius IX so the 6th successor of the "man of sin" after the temporal loss of power would be...

    Tada! = JOHN XXIII

    Or, what is more likely true, is this 6th successor was Cardinal Siri. 
    But because the election went their way and Siri most likely "folded" for whatever reason here we are...

    If you read Fr. Palau's letter's to Pope Pius IX you can see that he was a PIVOTAL figure - the clock really did start ticking down somehow with him and the definition of papal infallibility.

    Our enemies have used that holy dogma against us to brainwash and whip people into a mindless false obedience and false acknowledgement of false authority - it NEVER should have come to this - but for the pride and cowardice of men - and God has allowed it to happen, pouring out His blazing wrath with the most horrific spiritual punishments the world has seen since before the Coming of Christ (read Fr. Palau on spiritual vs. temporal punishments).

    Yes, I think Benedict XVI is alive. Bergoglio faked his death and imprisoned him. And I think he will reconstitute the episcopate and the College of Cardinals from his place of refuge. 

    Here is Albert Pike's description of the events:

    "But it is also written that the Wandering/Straying/Erring Pope [Pape-errant], shepherd of a scattered flock, pilot of the helpless boat of Cephas, and sixth successor of the man of pride under whom the temporal power of the infamous pontificate has collapsed, will be collected, after expulsions upon expulsions, by the Slavic autocrat, who will affect to render him great honors. Adonaism will then attempt to reconstitute itself as before the expulsion from Rome; the Wandering Pope [Pape-errant] being near death in Russia, the imperial autocrat will prostrate himself at his feet, and the nations practicing until then Orthodoxy, that is to say the schismatic religion of the Orient, will rally fairly quickly to the old Roman Catholicism, vomited from Italy. The Wandering Pope [Pape-errant], on his deathbed, will be joyful to see these new followers replace the Westerners recently separated from his Church, and, within the nations which will have carried out the fragmentation of Adonaïsm, he will still have the faithful, these hiding to indulge in the practices of the reprobate superstition; before expiring, he will have maintained the episcopate to the bishops of the Orient schism, and he will have instituted, among them, Greek and Russian cardinals. His successor will be a Slav; the seat of the Adonaïe Papacy will be established in the northern city of Peter, with the reservation of reconquering Rome. But it will be in vain that the imperial autocrat, in the hope of extending his domination, will make himself the crusader of Adonaïsm; his efforts will not succeed, and the Church, once Roman, will remain fragmented in the nations of Western Europe. Thus, Russia will be the last refuge and the last bulwark of Adonaism claiming to be Catholic."

Palau on spiritual vs. temporal punishments).

    Read the description in Pike's letter of the Pope-Errant. It is not describing John XXIII:

    "But it is also written that the Wandering/Straying/Erring Pope [Pape-errant], shepherd of a scattered flock, pilot of the helpless boat of Cephas, and sixth successor of the man of pride under whom the temporal power of the infamous pontificate has collapsed, will be collected, after expulsions upon expulsions, by the Slavic autocrat, who will affect to render him great honors.

Thus, Russia will be the last refuge and the last bulwark of Adonaism claiming to be Catholic."

    And the temporal power did not collapse in 1870. Until 1929, the Popes were called "prisoners in the Vatican" but the temporal power situation was not resolved until the Lateran Treaty in 1929, in which Pius XI officially ceded the temporal power.

Palau on spiritual vs. temporal punishments).

    The "man of sin" is not mentioned. The phrase Pike uses (in an inverted way) is "man of pride." Pike, a Freemason, thinks all Popes are "men of pride." He thinks the true God is the "bad God" and that Lucifer is the "Good God." His value system is inverted.

    Also, your interpretation does not harmonize with the Apocalypse, which is talking about the same 7 last legitimate heads (Pope-Kings) after 1929. The eighth, an illegitimate antipope, refers to Bergoglio. The people ruling the Church after Bergoglio are referred to as the 10 Horns (the Cardinals and Bishops who take over the Church) in Apoc. 17:

    16 And the ten horns which thou sawest in the beast: these shall hate the harlot, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and shall burn her with fire.  17 For God hath given into their hearts to do that which pleaseth him: that they give their kingdom to the beast, till the words of God be fulfilled. 

    The Fourth Beast of Daniel 7 is this same group of Cardinals (Bergoglio included). And that Fourth Beast is described in even more detail in 4 Esdras Chapters 11-12 (https://www.pseudepigrapha.com/apocrypha_ot/2esdr.htm) as the Eagle with Twelve Wings:

    [7] And I said, "O sovereign Lord, if I have found favor in thy sight, and if I have been accounted righteous before thee beyond many others, and if my prayer has indeed come up before thy face,

    [8] strengthen me and show me, thy servant, the interpretation and meaning of this terrifying vision, that thou mayest fully comfort my soul.
    [9] For thou hast judged me worthy to be shown the end of the times and the last events of the times."
    [10] He said to me, "This is the interpretation of this vision which you have seen:
    [11] The eagle which you saw coming up from the sea is the fourth kingdom which appeared in a vision to your brother Daniel.
    [12] But it was not explained to him as I now explain or have explained it to you.

    We are in the time of the Fourth Beast. The Fourth beast took over in 2013. It is the final Beast before the Second Coming. 

    Fr. Palau's vision refer to future events. Just as La Salette's visions and Don Bosco's visions refer to the same final end times events. They are all the same events described in the Apocalypse and in other Scriptures referring to the Last Times. They describe the same events from different angles and emphasize different sub themes in the overall narrative.

    Well, I think that is just the point the AI was making.

    It is "allegorical" as you pointed out to me earlier about prophecy in general. Here YOU are holding to these devilish words to rigidly.

    In and of themselves, the words of the Masons cannot be trusted without great caution, they should NOT be put on the same level as prophecy that is seemingly coming from the servants of God - like Fr. Palau seems he was...

    And I took it a step further and pointed out according to God's will as expressed to Fr. Palau he was going to remove the papacy from Rome and destroy the priests and Religious there, and according to the Angel the See would never return there again...

    Without the loss of the papal states, I don't see the Lateran Treaty being signed. I think the AI nailed this.

    So it seems more likely that when Siri was cowed/forced aside that the seeming prophecy of the devils was proved false. Perhaps there could have been an alternate path that if followed would have led to that prophesied outcome - but really the OPPOSITE happened.

  • The "man of sin" is not mentioned. 
    Here I just misspoke.

    I agree with the AI that "the Man of Pride" they are referring to Pius IX - NOT pike.

    Trying to unravel the prophecy of demons is a fruitless exercise.

    What do you think of your above interpretation compared to what Fr. Palau saw?

  • I think Fr. Palau's description of the "two horns" is a variation on the same beasts described in Apocalypse 13. The Beast from the Sea is the temporal power of the Church, the papacy itself. The Beast from the Earth represents the moral authority of the Church's ministers. Both will be used by Satan to kill souls.

    But the main focus after the mention of the "two horns" is on the temporal power of the Church (the 7 Hills that dominate Rome). Those 7 hills represent the 7 papal regimes that the Apocalypse is referring to.

    In those 7 papal regimes, Fr. Palau says, are "fortified by princes of darkness which are subordinated to the Dragon." The "Princes" are the princes of the Church, the Cardinals, who are actually agents of Satan manipulating the Curial machine to move things along as Satan prefers.

    So, the vision is a vision of the future, after 1929. It is not a vision of the Church in Pius IX's time. It is an end times prophecy picking up where the Apocalypse picks up, with the 1st head of the Beast, that is, the Vatican in 1929. It is not Pius XI himself in 1929 that is the main problem. But the Cardinals running the show behind his back are the problem.

    The Princes (Cardinals) say they "already possess the crowns of all the grandees of the earth." The grandees are the bishops of the Church. The Dioceses of the Roman Catholic Church cover every inch of ground on the planet. These Princes (Cardinals), who actually will control the Vatican (with the Pope as a mere figurehead), are saying that they control the Bishops as well. Why? Because the Bishops are appointed by the Vatican Curia with the Pope's signature.

    But they say they only "lack this one," i.e., they don't control the Pope himself yet. He is referred to as "the temporal power" but that is simply another name of the Vicar of Christ on Earth. The Pope is "the temporal power" in this context. It is not referring to the Papal States issue at all. They are complaining that although they control the Curia, they do not yet have one of their own in the Papacy itself.

    That is what finally happens AFTER the 7th Head of the Beast is removed. Then the Cardinals/Princes have one of their own in the papacy as an Antipope. That is what happened with Bergoglio. That is the essence of the Fourth Beast which Daniel says is different from the other beasts that he described. It is why the "eighth" is not described as an actual head but rather "of the seven" or "like the seven." [Apoc. 17]

    And by the way, the Pike docuмent explains the exact same strategy. To put one who agrees with the Freemasonic vision in the Papacy. That is their goal because as Fr. Palau says, that is Satan's goal.

    It says, "princes of darkness"

    Where in Scripture is that equated with humans?

    What does Scripture say about what are the "princes of darkness"?

    Now, could many-to-most of the Cardinals have actually become possessed or were already under the influence of the demons - yes.

    But again you are stretching here and trying to weave;

    1) A Masonic prophecy.

    2) A dubious 3rd Secret of Fatima from a untrustworthy source.

    3) Fr. Palau's visions that he handed to Pope Pius IX.

    Which, of all three it is only number 3 that really merits any trust...

    So trying to weave them together is just to tie yourself in knots I think.

    If you actually start to delve into that 2000 page beast of Fr. Palau's work you will see that so much of his fight was centered on fighting the actual demonic through exorcisms of actual demons, and he explains that why his visions will come to pass is because all the devils have been slowly loosed from hell and returned after they were cast out by Christ, the Apostles, the Fathers, etc. They started to return because the few that were left were allowed to remain due to the negligence of the office of exorcist, they caused ever increasing damage and aided other demons in getting released from the pit as a punishment for sins and negligence. Palau was censured by his own bishop (who seemed to have been diabolically influenced) from performing exorcisms. He was trying to warn Pius IX about what needed to be done. Fr. Palau was exiled by the Masons (who he openly opposed) to an island of the coast of Spain/Portugal. From there he would often life in solitude in a cave on the mountain and that is were he heard this voice speaking to him for 20 years. He seems to have been gifted with seeing angelic and demonic spirits at many and various times. He was also highly sensitive to the spiritual and could sense the presence of evil. He actually does seem like another very holy priest like Padre Pio. The fake Church considers him a Blessed (though that means little to me).

    What does Scripture say about what are the "princes of darkness"?

    Regardless, they are Princes of the Church (the Cardinals) who are working for Darkness (Satan). And my interpretation fits perfectly with my thesis that the Crisis of the Church is primarily at Cardinal-driven phenomenon not a Pope-driven phenomenon (Bergoglio/Prevost are mere Cardinals).

    You are welcome to disagree.

    There are 7 heads mentioned, and the 7 heads are 7 kings (Apoc. 17), referring to 7 Popes. But I believe they are merely the figureheads of those regimes. Their power was usurped, more or less, depending on the individual Pope. But the overall agenda pursued by those regimes (to slowly undermine and invert the Church) was not that of the agenda of the Popes. The agenda came from Freemasonic Cardinals who had infiltrated into positions of power in the Curia, like Bugnini.
