Hey Simeon,

I got sidetracked and didn't get back to you on this. :P

A good priest talked me down from focusing too much on prophecies and apparitions some years ago so I can relate and I too believe in the approved apparitions.

I'm not sure what to make of the three days.  The playlist went through why many of the stories have been faked but I too have my blessed beeswax candle just to be on the safe side. :)

The tradcasters really push the three days of darkness so I'm a bit skeptical because they have also been pushing Bennyvacantism and obfuscating his outright apostasy which would take very little research (like reading his book) to uncover.

As for "the coven's technological prowess" as you put it (you have a lovely way with words :)  ) do you have any theories on how they are able to convince 100's of thousands of pilgrims for 30 years now at Medjugorje that the sun is blinking and dancing about in the sky.

Pardon me, Miser! I just now discovered the function that let's you look at replies to your posts and where you left off. I didn't know you replied!

Regarding that question, when I was in the novus ordo, the priest and church secretary had a "devotion" to Medjool-gorie. She came back from one "pilgrimage" all aglow, and insisted she had seen the miracle of the sun, had seen the streets all paved with gold. 

It has to be demonic. They burrow into our emotions and lay eggs there. The eggs hatch and become worms - unseen and undetected worms that play our emotions like fiddlestrings. In fact, this is how demons prevent us from acquiring virtue. They are so entrenched in the emotions that we believe we are thinking when in fact we are doing no more than following around like puppies a continuous barrage of emotional and demonic prompts.

Wormy emotions, masquerading as understanding and judgment, are the veritable soul of temptation, sin, error, self-destruction. 

So you pack your bag and get on a plane heading for Medjool-gorie.

Your luggage contains everything the demon packed for you: excitement, vanity, inordinate curiosity, pride. 

You left home those things you didn't need: prudence, counsel, judgment, rationality, knowledge of the Faith.

You get there, and your worms start putting sense images in your mind, whilst at the same time playing your emotions like a kalimba.  

Ahhhhhhh, even now I see the sun dancing in the sky!!! Don't you?

In his work The Latter Times, Fr. Martin Sánchez notes that in her times Blessed Ana Maria was consulted by Kings, nobles, Bishops and even Popes. He lists several of the multitude of fulfilled prophecies made by Ana Maria Taigi to assure us of the confidence we can place in those regarding the Latter Times: [1]

She predicted the abdication of Charles IV, King of Spain,

the fall of Napoleon,

the date of the liberation of Pope Pius VII,

the assassination of the Father General of the Trinitarian Order

time and date of the death of Napoleon;

Czar Alexander I converted before he died, seen by Blessed Taigi in her orb.

She announced a terrible plague that would break forth in Rome as a chastisement from God on the day after her death.

She foretold the death of the Czar Alexander I to a Russian general who visited her one day before the news came to Rome;

she also said that his soul had been saved because he had died a Catholic and protected the Pope and the Church. In fact, shortly before he died in 1825, Alexander I converted to the Catholic Faith.

During the last 25 years of her life, Msgr. Raffaele Natali, a trusted priest and secretary of the Chambermaster of Pius VII, recorded her prophecies and ecstasies in more than 4,000 handwritten pages.

This docuмent was carefully analyzed in the beatification process, which was introduced by Pope Pius IX in 1863.

In 1906, Pope Pius X declared the heroicity of her virtues, and on May 30, 1920, Pope Benedict XV placed Ven. Ana Maria Taigi among the Blessed. The Decree of her Beatification calls her “a marvel in the splendor of holiness.” [2]

Predictions of a great chastisement
When Ana Maria Taigi spoke of the continuing disorder in the Church and society, she used the word Revolution. She warned that when iniquity would parade openly and the Revolution would triumph, there would be a great chastisement that would come unexpectedly and destroy the impious and the enemies of the Church.
In the testimony of Msgr. Natali in the beatification process, he relates the words of the Seer about the Latter Times:

“Things will be so convulsed that man would no longer be able to put things in order, but the omnipotent Arm of the Lord will remedy everything. She told me that the great scourge of the earth had been mitigated, but not that of Heaven, for it would be horrible, shocking and universal.” Truly, the universal nature of the coming chastisement makes it a “Judgment of Nations.”
That great Chastisement would occur long after the holy people of her epoch had been buried, he continued. “It will arrive unexpectedly and in it the wicked will be destroyed. I saw the earth enveloped in flames, many buildings crumbling, the earth and Heaven seemed to be in agony.
“Many millions of men will die by steel, some in wars, others in conflicts, and millions more by unforeseen death, and this throughout the whole world. As a result, entire nations will return to the unity of the Catholic Church, many Turks, Gentiles and Hebrews will be converted in a way that will surprise Catholics, who will be amazed by the fervor and observance they will show in their lives.
“In short, she told me that the Lord wanted to purge the world and His Church, and for that He had prepared a new crop of souls who, unknown, would appear to perform great works and surprising miracles. She told me that after the Lord had cleansed the earth with wars, revolutions and other calamities, Heaven would begin [its chastisement].
“For, at the end of this scourge, there would be a general convulsion of shocking meteorological phenomena with many deaths. The Servant of God told me several times that the Lord showed her in the mysterious sun the universal triumph of the renewed Church, by a manner so great and surprising that she could not describe it. ” [3]

Three days of darkness
Blessed Ana Maria Taigi also describes the “Three Days of Darkness” that she saw in her “mystical sun:”

“There shall come over the whole earth an intense darkness lasting three days and three nights. Nothing will be able to be seen, and the air will be laden with pestilence which will claim mainly, but not only, the enemies of Religion. It will be impossible to use any man-made light during this darkness, except blessed candles.
