Maybe I wasn't obvious enough. When He said there shall be great tribulation, can we surmise that being burdened with seemingly impossible doctrine from what would seem to be the Holy See might qualify as great tribulation? If not, why not? Are we guaranteed that something being called "canonization" from the Vatican is infallible? Well, while canonizations have been considered to be infallible by modern theologians, why then is the Canonized Latin Mass being called second fiddle, behind a bastard Newmass which is nothing more than a concoction of a Freemason (Bugnini) and 6 Protestant 'ministers'? How can an infallible Bull like
Quo Primum be REMOVED from the frontispiece of every Newmissal and then start saying this bastard Newmass is the "Ordinary Rite" of the Roman Catholic Church?
If they can say that, they can say other things, too. And they have been saying that ever since Paul VI pretended he was promulgating a lie when it was all smoke and mirrors, IN FACT.
Therefore, when it comes to the announced-ahead-of-time-Newconsecration of a pair of highly questionable revolutionaries, we have to take this in context of all the other rotten bilge-scuм of the past 54 years since the Third Secret should have been revealed but wasn't.
Can we surmise that being burdened with seemingly impossible doctrine from what would seem to be the Holy See might qualify as great tribulation? If not, why not?What would be a greater tribulation than having our faith ostensibly shaken to the core? Our Lord said,
"And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world, for a testimony to all nations, and then shall the consummation come..."Has the Gospel not been preached in the whole world, for a testimony to all nations? Is there any place on planet earth where the gospel has not been preached? It wasn't preached in Japan for about 300 years, but then it returned. St. Francis Xavier didn't make it to China, but there have been other priests who have made it to China. The Aborigines of Australia have been visited by missioners. Even the descendants of Fletcher Christian on Pitcairn Island have a so-called Christian church in their remote village next to the resting place of the H.M.S. Bounty and its mutinous survivors. The Eskimos of Alaska have a bishop. The gulags of Siberia have an occasional priest. Good priests of the SSPX are sent to Antarctica to evangelize the penguins and to Africa to evangelize the baboons. Where has there not been the Gospel preached? I put it to you: "nowhere."
"And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world, for a testimony to all nations, and then shall the consummation come..."Therefore, what does Scripture say that shall come to the world after the Gospel has been preached for a testimony to all nations? The consummation? And what is that?
"For there shall then be great tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world until now, neither shall be. And unless those days had been shortened, no flesh should be saved ; but for the sake of the elect those days shall be shortened..."The great tribulation cannot be separated from the consummation of the world. But it can be distinguished. The great tribulation comes first, then comes the consummation. And don't forget, if it were too obvious, then no one would be caught unawares, but there are other Scriptures that say that MOST will be taken unawares,
"like a thief in the night" (I Thes. v. 2, II Pet. iii. 10, cf. Mt. xxiv. 43, etc.), therefore, it WON'T be obvious to many. Theologians have argued, well, if the Gospel is preached to the whole world, then how could the fulfillment of end times prophesies not be obvious? We have a precedence for this, for when Our Lord came the first time, many of the Jews who knew the Scriptures inside out and backwards, did not believe. He upbraided them for their incredulity. Today, some would say that was not "charitable" but Our Lord is the perfect model of charity. If we can't see that, then the problem is OURS, not Our Lord's charity. Let him with eyes to see, see. Let the reader understand.
Can we surmise that being burdened with seemingly impossible doctrine from what would seem to be the Holy See might qualify as great tribulation? If not, why not?Those days shall be shortened because if they were not shortened, no flesh should be saved. The first time, those days were shortened by a thing we call the Crucifixion on Good Friday. Do you suppose this time it will be somehow different?
Behold I have told it to you, beforehand -- and I have died on the Cross to show you that I mean what I say.
"I am the way, the truth and the life" (Jn. xiv. 6, cf. John xviii. 37).
"For there shall arise false Christs and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders, insomuch as to deceive (if possible) even the elect. Behold I have told it to you, beforehand" (Matt. xxiv. 24-25).
What is a better example of a great sign and wonder and a FALSE CHRIST than the would-be Vatican Newcanonizing a pair of scoundrels?
Can we surmise that being burdened with seemingly impossible doctrine from what would seem to be the Holy See might qualify as great tribulation? If not, why not?What, you want something more obvious, something like holograms in the sky like pay-per-view? Well, perhaps your dreams will come true, but in the meantime, we have the Newcanonization of a pair of scoundrels,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Like,,,,,,,,,,, as it were,,,,,,,,,,,
Tweedle-Dum & Tweedle-Dee. 
We need to have JPII and JnXXIII as these guys....... for the
big day. .
