"Let us pray for the Holy Father He too will suffer in the next few days from the action of shameless, base, immoral and repulsive leakers, the sort of men who are willing to pressure the Church and embarrass their superiors, with the intent of achieving their narrow aims"

I have no idea what the book is about, but curiosity may get the best of me yet...

What is shameless, base, immoral and repulsive is this "church" of the apostates. Of Cardinal Daneels with files of the Dutroux case. Of Dutch pedophilic catechisms. Of the public approval of "false worship." Of the modernist "theology" that rejects all the miracles of scriptures. Of the Cardinals without Faith like Kasper and Lehmann.

The false "church" of feminism, liberalism, "condoms as a first step towards humane sɛҳuąƖity" - the Jєωιѕн reading of the Old Testament legitimized, the false "church" which praises Luther and renounces the condemnations of Trent on the Protestant doctrines of justification. The false "church" which calls the Christ deniers "elder brothers" and "fathers in the faith." The false "church" of false ecuмenism. The money grubbing, cult-like submission demanding "prelatures" of Opus Dei and the Legionaries of Christ May God forbid, what the SSPX is becoming!

The false "church"

Who would have thought these words might be applied to the SSPX itself!

"this organization which formerly afforded such promising expectations, this limpid and impetuous stream, has been harnessed in its course by the modern enemies of the Church, and is now no more than a miserable affluent of the great movement of apostasy being organized in every country for the establishment of a One-World Church which shall have neither dogmas, nor hierarchy, neither discipline for the mind, nor curb for the passions, and which, under the pretext of freedom and human dignity, would bring back to the world (if such a Church could overcome) the reign of legalized cunning and force, and the oppression of the weak, and of all those who toil and suffer.

Who would have thought these words of Our Lord might be applied to our own time? But His words shall not pass --

For there shall be then 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.

Then if any man shall say to you: Lo here is Christ, or there: do not believe him.

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.

If therefore they shall say to you: Behold he is in the desert, go ye not out: Behold he is in the closets, believe it not.

For as lightening cometh out of the east, and appeareth even into the west: so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Wheresoever the body shall be, there shall the eagles also be gathered together.

An immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun shall be darkened and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven shall be moved:

And then shall appear the sign of the the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all tribes of the earth mourn: and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with much power and majesty.

And he shall send his angels with a trumpet, and a great voice: an they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the farthest parts of the heavens to the utmost bounds of them.

And from the fig tree learn a parable: when the branch thereof is now tender, and the leaves come forth, you know that summer is nigh.

So you also, when you shall see all these things, know ye that it is nigh, even at the doors.

Amen I say to you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things are done.

Heaven and earth shall pass, but my words shall not pass.(St. Matthew xxiv. 21-35)

Behold I have told it to you, beforehand" (Saint Matthew XXVI, xxi-xxv).

I, too, have reflected on these words lately. I am specifically struck by the promise that "unless the days had been shortened, no flesh should be saved: but for the sake of the elect those days shall be shortened" and that there will be "great signs and wonders, insomuch as to deceive (if possible), even the elect." I cannot help but see the deal and the current tenor of the economic and political situations in both Europe and the US as leading to exactly this. Who knows if many of us will not be arrested soon for hate crimes against our children for teaching them the natural law, or else be considered "potential terrorists" and detained indefinitely, or else denied employment, or killed by roaming revolutionaries ? Anything is possible, and it could very well be that nothing serious happens for another fifty years. I cannot help, however, but to have this feeling of foreboding growing in me; things are ominous, the weather is strange, people are acting out of their minds.

Thankfully, we are promised threefold victory by the Sacred Heart of Jesus, so long as we "[redeem] the time, because the days are evil" (Ephesians V, xvi). We are first promised victory against this world in our own souls, such that we should fear nothing, since if we are in a state of grace, nothing truly bad could possibly happen to us. Second, we are promised victory after Our Lord comes and destroys this world through fire, as the new Jerusalem afterwards comes down from the sky and settles for all eternity as the sear of Our Blessed Lord in His Kingdom. Finally and perhaps more immediately than the Second Coming, we are promised a time of peace by Our Blessed Lady, wherein the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary will reign over a time "more glorious for the Church" than all the other ages put together. So, let nobody despair since we already have truly sovereign remedies against all that might hurt us. Just be prepared : it looks like things could get rough.

Don't misunderstand me: I'm not saying this *ring of fire* eclipse is THE fulfillment of prophesy -- but don't you think it's rather curious that such an unusual astronomical event should be taking place right after all this terrible news of the SSPX sellout has been enflaming the hearts of Catholics worldwide?

He that hath ears to hear, let him hear! (St. Luke viii. 8)

Beautiful image that's too big for this thread:

Well, as Padre Pio would say, there are no coincidences.

Yes, I'm often amused when some people carry on and on that the end of the world is nigh, as happens from time to time, even in bizarre and extreme cults. I tell them that the end of your world is what should concern you, because it could happen any day. It is the end of OUR OWN INDIVIDUAL LIFE that is our primary concern.

Don't let worrying about the end of the world distract you from the really important end: the moment you die, and the moment you emerge unprepared unto your own particular judgment -- like coming up for air when you've been underwater, to discover that breathing the air you crave means accepting the inevitable judgment of God for all eternity!

Yikes! :shocked:
