Typo -- it's Marie Carre, not Curre.
PostEvery 5 years or so I re-read AA-1025 The Memoirs of an Anti-Apostle, and am doing so right now.
Let me quote a paragraph from the very end of the book
For people like Michael, Vatican II was only a trial-balloon which history will hardly mention. But Vatican III will seal the alliance of Christianity and Marxism, and the most remarkable change will be the plurality of religious dogmas and the uncompromising character of social dogmas.
One of the most disgusting parts of the book talks about, "the beatification and even canonization of the greatest heretics."
I don't know who will call this council but I'm afraid there will be one.
Miseremini made that post July 30th, 2013, a year ago, before the announcement of the Newcanonizations of John XXIII and JPII, but after that of Josemaria Escriva de Balaguer, for example, and Mother Theresa of Calcutta who offered suffering people Buddhist water or Holy Water -- their choice!!
A year later now, the "canonization of heretics" is a much more recognizable problem! I recall reading this book years ago and when I saw that part about canonization of the greatest heretics I had thought, "NO WAY!"
I don't say that anymore. So I guess you could say I've been converted.
The Apostles were converted when they saw Our Lord's crucifixion.
I just heard Fr. Pfeiffer mention
AA-1025 in his most recent conference in Denver, CO (June 29th), asking if anyone knows the year to which the book refers. This immediately struck me as odd because the book covers several decades, not just one year. It begins by saying that the anti-apostle was most likely born in Poland in 1917, and ran away from home at 14, later returning there at age 20, which would have been 1937, just before Hitler occupied Poland. (But no mention is made of the War in this book.)
In many ways, the anti-apostle's life parallels that of John Paul II, curiously.
The last mention of any year in the chronology of the memoirs is 1938, when the anti-apostle was about to enter seminary. So he would have been heading for ordination in 1944 or thereabouts, but the book does not say whether he ever did get ordained. Therefore, it would seem he did not, especially since he showed up in the hospital as an accident victim but nothing to indicate that he was a priest. The year of his hospitalization is not identified. Obviously, his memoirs could have been composed years before his hospitalization, so they could be from as early as 1940 +/-, to as late as 1964, it would seem. That would be the year before Carre converted from protestant to Catholic. While she doesn't say so, it appears likely that this found manuscript had been influential in her conversion.
The only other later dates mentioned are 1965 when the author, Marie Carre, converted from protestantism to Catholic, and 1973, when the first edition came out in French. On the pp 94-98 are Carre's editorial comments which could only have been composed after 1970.
After hearing Fr. Pfeiffer mention AA-1025, I got out my copy and read it again.
It's a pretty fast read, now. Been there, so it's a review now. And I recommend this to others who think they don't need to see this a second time.
The reason I recommend re-reading it is the following.
I suggest that while you read it this time, keep in mind what has been going on lately in the SSPX. And ask yourself if the attitudes and outlook of this anti-apostle who wrote his memoirs, is not all that different from what it would appear to be going on in the minds of the men who are currently trying to destroy the SSPX from the inside.
Ask yourself that question, that is, if you dare.
