The Church explains prophecy, not YOU. We await the judgment of the Church while you figure it out on your own, condemning others who disagree with your opinions.

Catholic prophecy can not be relegated to the back burner or rendered insignificant as the protestants believe. Catholics must prove and hold prophecy.

Neither may Catholics derogate duly approved private revelations in order to suit their views, just as Catholics can never profane the Sacred Scriptures as the heretics and schismatics do with their private interpretations, and the same goes for the Sacred Canons, the decrees and declarations of the Apostolic See and of the holy Œcuмencial Councils.

A Catholic is ruled both in his belief and in his conduct by the sacred magisterium of Holy Mother Church, not by private interpretations of texts. It is by obedience to the Apostolic See that a Catholic is distinguished from all others who endeavor to profess themselves as disciples of Our Lord and yet betray Him in not heeding the guidance of the successors of St. Peter, whom the same Lord God constituted as the rock whereupon He established His One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church (S. Matth. xvi. 18). As the Apostle St. Paul teaches (Rom. x. 17), the faithful are to assent to divine revelation by hearing: "Faith then cometh by hearing; and hearing by the word of Christ." The same Apostle expounds exactly how the faithful are to distinguish the true word of Christ from its pretended imposters (Gal. i. 8): "But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach a gospel to you besides that which we have preached to you, let him be anathema." The same blessed Apostle foresaw that indeed the Church would be plagued by those who would stray from the teachings of Our Lord, preferring to pick and choose what to believe and from whence to derive their beliefs: "For there shall be a time, when they will not endure sound doctrine; but, according to their own desires, they will heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears: And will indeed turn away their hearing from the truth, but will be turned unto fables" (II Tim. iv. 3-4).

It is perilous to avail oneself of one's interpretation private revelations, even those duly approved, in an endeavor to demonstrate or disprove a theological proposition. As it is written: "The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that is wise hearkeneth unto counsels" (Prov. xii. 15).

Seems as if Our Lady (The Queen of Prophets) refutes an empty seat...

"The Vicar of My Son will suffer a great deal, because for a while the Church will yield to LARGE persecution, a time of darkness and the Church will witness a frightful crisis[/u]. He will suffer a great deal. I will be with him until the end and receive his sacrifice. The mischievous would attempt his life several times to do harm and shorten his days. Neither he nor his successor will see the triumph of the Church of God. (Our Lady of LaSalette, 1846)

"As I told you, if men do not repent and better themselves, the Father will inflict a terrible punishment on all humanity. It will be a punishment greater than the deluge, such as no one has ever seen before. Fire will fall from the sky and will wipe out a great part of humanity, the good as well as the bad, sparing neither priests nor faithful. The survivors will find themselves so desolate that they will envy the dead. The only consolation which will remain for you will be the Rosary and the Sign left by My Son. Each day recite the prayers of the Rosary. With the Rosary, pray for the Pope, the bishops and priests." (Our Lady of Akita, 1973)

What say you?

I say you are a pretentious moron. That's what I've proven to myself.

This is not a prudent way to respond. We have to remember not only civility and courtesy but also the teachings and examples of Our Lord.

In sacred yore it was written: "A fool immediately sheweth his anger: but he that dissembleth injuries is wise" (Prov. xii. 16). Our Lord, however, taught us to be even greater: "Love your enemies: do good to them that hate you: and pray for them that persecute and calumniate you: that you may be the children of your Father who is in heaven, who maketh his sun to rise upon the good, and bad, and raineth upon the just and the unjust" (S. Matth. v. 44-45).

Remember also, "A mild answer breaketh wrath: but a harsh word stirreth up fury" (Prov. xv. 1); and "A sweet word multiplieth friends, and appeaseth enemies, and a gracious tongue in a good man aboundeth" (Ecclus. vi. 5).

Hobbledehoy, prophecy comes from private revelation, but not all private revelation is prophecy. Prophecy differs from non-prophetic private revelation in that the Church assures us that it is already suitable to our understanding. In regards to prophecy, we have the command to prove it (from the Church). The Church does not bind our conscience to prophecy as she does in faith and morals.

What say you?

I have not the time right now to read this entire thread, so if someone already posted this I apologize.  

Consider also what Our Lady of LaSalette said,  "Rome will lose the Faith and become the seat of Anti-Christ"

Don't you think the true popes saw this coming and suffered knowing the devil was at the door.
