Woman in Apocalypse 12 is the "harlot"?!?
« on: July 06, 2022, 11:20:29 AM »
The Apocalypse according to Eugenio Corsini – True Restoration

In the above, the claim the "Woman" in chapter 12 (clothed with sun etc.) is the harlot.  They do not even mention in passing the interpretation that she is the Blessed Virgin Mary or the Church.


Quote
On the other hand, the same basic symbol (which must be interpreted in the light of the Old Testament) can express different things, when combined with other symbols, while always maintaining its fundamental meaning: thus, the "woman" of Ch. XII will be "harlot" (or unfaithful woman) in Ch. XVIII.

Quote
Even more explicitly, the symbol of the vial calls to mind the sacrifice of Christ. In this septenary there is no shortage of famous scenes: the Woman and the Dragon in Chap. XII, the Beast of the earth and that of the sea in Chap. XIII, the Harlot of Babylon and her destruction (chapters XII-XIX), the battle of Armageddon, so dear to Jehovah's Witnesses, etc.

Quote
 Thus, the Woman who in chapter XII of the Apocalypse takes refuge in the desert chased by the Dragon is transformed in Chap. XVII into the prostitute who, always in the desert, rests on the beast: "The fact that the woman [Israel] is represented here under the appearance of a prostitute indicates that, evidently, her spiritual attitude has changed" and became an unfaithful wife. She is unfaithful and a murderer. 
The Douay Rheims online version has as follows:



Quote
"A woman": The church of God. It may also, by allusion, be applied to our blessed Lady. The church is clothed with the sun, that is, with Christ: she hath the moon, that is, the changeable things of the world, under her feet: and the twelve stars with which she is crowned, are the twelve apostles: she is in labour and pain, whilst she brings forth her children, and Christ in them, in the midst of afflictions and persecutions.
The same woman talked about throughout the chapter.  See the last two verses:



Quote
And the dragon was angry against the woman: and went to make war with the rest of her seed, who keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. [18] And he stood upon the sand of the sea.
How is this person the harlot.  Can someone please tell me what I am missing here?

Protestants don't want to admit that Our Lady/Catholic Church will fight with the Beast.  So they invent ridiculous stories.

There are many interesting stories on YT about people dying and going to hell, then being given a 2nd chance to amend.  I listened to one protestant minister who left protestantism after his experience and admitted that he would've been damned to hell because he purposefully corrupted Scripture and taught lies to his congregation.

This type of thing happens more that we think.  The big "mega protestant" churches are run by witches/warlocks.  Many stories of them casting spells on people while new-age "religious" music plays.  They are prepping the protestants (and have been for 60-70 years) for the "new age" of antichrist, peace for Israel and "peace on earth" (i.e. one world govt).

Yes.  But this is from True Restoration.  A traditional Catholic website.

And of course the Conciliar Church is none other than the "Whore of Babylon" (the description fits perfectly)

I think you must be misunderstanding the purpose of the writing and where it originates.

True Restoration is publishing an article written by don Francesco Ricossa and published in Sodalitium, back in 1999. I know Father Ricossa to be a good friend and a traditional Catholic. I went to his Masses in Italy in 2011 and we are still in touch from time to time.

I haven't read the article, no will I, however he gives a pretty good description of Corsini and I presume is explaining his theories and giving a criticism of them.

A small excerpt here

Quote
Eugenio Corsini was born in 1924. He graduated in ancient Christian literature with Mgr. Pellegrino, and he completed his studies in Paris (Sorbonne, École pratique des Hautes Études) and in Rome (Biblical Institute). When I was his pupil, during the 1976-77 academic year, he was a professor of ancient Christian literature at the University of Turin. He concluded his career on the chair of Greek literature at the same university. The reader must not believe that having followed Corsini's lessons, which at the time concerned precisely the Apocalypse, influenced me to the point of following, since then, his exegesis. Simply, as the young 17-year-old student I was at the time, I did not understand anything: I did not have the maturity, nor the predisposition. Prof. Corsini was not (he is not), in fact, a "traditional" Catholic (as opposed to Mgr. Spadafora) but, rather — like his "teacher" Pellegrino — a "progressivist."

I hope that helps.
