Excuse me if this is not the correct Topic Forum to post this in!   :confused1:

Like most of us in the Traditional Movement, I watch with worried fascination as events unfold around us in this vale of tears and wonder where? when? how? The Chastisement prophesied by Our Lord and Lady and many Saints and other holy persons, etc. often discussed on this and other sites will happen.

I had never heard of Alois Irlmaier before.  From what I understand, he is authentic.  I would like more info on him and his "visions" from anyone who knows about this.

It has been suggested that The Chastisement will take place next year (2012).  It will begin with world/cινιℓ ωαrs erupting in Europe on or around the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary (August 15), lasting approx. 3 months and culminating with the "3 Days of Darkness", which will take place on a Thursday, Friday and (part of) Saturday.  The Chastisement/3 DoD will end with a Pope (finally) consecrating Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.  This will bring about Her Triumph and the "certain period of peace" she promised.

Checking my 2012 calendar, I see that approx. 3 months after the (proposed) start of The Chastisement (Aug. 15) would be in October.  Interestingly, the 11th, 12th and 13th fall on a Thursday, Friday and Saturday.  Please note that Saturday, October 13th (2012) is the day of the great "Miracle of the Sun" of Our Lady of Fatima.

I propose this scenario, adding that it seems reasonable.  I want to add that Pope Benedict XVI has been dropping hints about possibly "retiring" next year due to his health.  I have observed recent videos of him (Germany, Assisi) and he seems very tired, weak and almost feeble (remember that Pope Pius XII wanted to "retire" due to serious health problems, but he got better before doing so).  It seems that BXVI appears to be more and more "removed" from his surroundings and being directed where to go, walk, sit, stand., etc.  I find this very strange.

Anyway, if he does in fact retire next year, a Conclave will be convened to elect a new Pope.  Think about this -- let's say this happens during or at least right before Aug. 15.  All those Cardinals in Rome -- a plot could be launched against them, Rome overtaken, the "Pope in Red" (newly elected but before he vests in Papal white and/or his official Installation) flees Rome with the others, consecrates Russia, is murdered, Triumph of the Immaculate Heart, Sts. Peter and Paul "select" new Pope (may be figuratively -- the possibilities here are endless -- like Pope-to-be sitting/standing right by images of Sts. Peter and Paul -- you get my meaning).

Or

Pope B16 does in fact in this moment of crisis, consecrate Russia by himself (we know he has the power to do so, and Our Lord told Lucia the pope "would do it but ... it would be too late [Russia would have already spread it's errors] and Our Lady did say that "in the End, the Pope [not the Pope and the bishops] will consecrate Russia to My Immaculate Heart]) and this will usher in the certain "period of peace" and so BXVI will truly fulfill the prophecy of St. Malachy -- the Glory of the Olives.

I would truly appreciate a serious discussion here regarding this subject, one that will (hopefully) remain on topic and please, provide good links, etc. that don't require one to sign up or log in, etc.!

I am not afraid of this (though I and or my family many perish in it), and in fact, look forward to the Triumph of Our Lady, which I know will be a triumph and restoration of the True Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church, high-jacked by Satan.

 

FWIW, this is an interesting quote from JP2 that I had not seen before:

According to the September l983 issue of Queen Magazine, published by the
Mantfort Fathers-Bayshore in New York, German magazine Stimme des
Glaubens has published Pope John Paul II’s conversation with a small group
of German Catholics, on the occasion of his visit to Fulda, in November of
1980, related to the content of third part of Fatima prophecy. Relevant parts
of the conversation were as follows:

Question: "Holy Father, what has become of the 3rd Secret of Fatima?
According to Our Lady's instructions, wasn't it supposed to be revealed in
1960? And what will happen in the Church?"

Response of the Holy Father: "Because of the seriousness of its contents,
in order not to encourage the world wide power of Communism to carry out
certain coups, my Predecessors in the Chair of Peter have diplomatically
preferred to withhold its publication

On the other hand, it should be sufficient for all Christians to know this much.
If there is a message in which it is said that the oceans will flood entire sections
of the earth, that, from one moment to the other, millions of people will perish,
there is no longer any point in really wanting to publish this secret message.
Many want to know merely out of curiosity, or because of their taste for
sensationalism, but they forget that to know implies for them a responsibility.
It is dangerous to want to satisfy one's curiosity only, if one is convinced that
we can do nothing against a catastrophe that has been predicted."
