The problem with this reply is that there will be a triumph of the Church of God after the crisis foretold at La Salette. Our Lady of Fatima says the same. There will then be a period of peace. If you are referring to the persecution at the end of the world, there will be no successor to the Chair after that. You must conclude then, that there will be another crisis and persecution before the antichrist (besides this one). St. Paul says there will be a (one) revolt before the antichrist. I do not know of two revolts being prophesied.
Let no man deceive you by any means, for unless there come a revolt first, and the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition, Who opposeth, and is lifted up above all that is called God, or that is worshipped, so that he sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself as if he were God. Remember you not, that when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 2 Thes 2:3-5
As for not seeing the suffering, we did see an attempt on the life of John Paul II. John Paul I may have been murdered. John XXIII supposedly wanted the Vatican II council stopped on his death bed. Pope Benedict XVI abruptly retires. I do not think one can dismiss "off hand" suffering of the conciliar popes.
First, prophesy cannot contradict theology. Also private revelation does not bind any Catholic.
Second, you are assuming that we are at the end. In my opinion, I do not believe this crisis will lead to the end of the world. Our Lady of Fatima said there would be a reign of peace, after Russia was consecrated by the pope in union with the bishops. That could not happen if we are at the end of the world.
What theology is being contradicted. Please explain. Also, ordinary private revelation does not bind, but prophecy does (or we extinguish the Spirit). La Salette certainly qualifies as prophecy. What I am doing and what you are failing to do is to prove the prophecy (1 Thes 5:18-21). On top of that, I specifically said we were not at the end. You are not reading my posts carefully. I said there would be a period of peace, then the end. Here is what I said...

By you saying that our current crisis is not the crisis foretold by Our Lady of La Salette, you imply that there will be another crisis before the persecution of the antichrist. You have still not responded to that.
