Prophecy

Prophecy tends to pique the curiosity of many people, especially when various "prophets of doom" go around on TV, in books, etc. claiming the world is going to end on December 21, 2012!!!

This error has already been treated.  IF you are interested in this subject, you will find it at:
   Is the World Going to End on December 21, 2012 as the Mayan Calendar, Nostradamus, etc. claim?

In today’s Gospel, Christ sets forth several mysteries in His Prophecy.  That there are mysteries here is emphasized by the phrase “he that readeth let him understand” which reminds one of what you read in Apocalypse 17:9:

“And here is the Understanding that hath Wisdom.”

Wisdom is the 7th and greatest of the Seven Gifts of God the Holy Ghost, being greater than the Gift of Understanding, both of which are also 2 of the 5 Intellectual Virtues (Wisdom, Understanding, Knowledge, Prudence, and art - the Virtue of the practical intelligence - are the 5 Intellectual Virtues), as the Angelic Doctor says:

“Wisdom is a greater Virtue than [the Virtue of] Understanding” (Saint Thomas Aquinas, O.P., [b. 1225 A.D. in Rocca Secca, Naples, Italy - d. Wednesday, March 7, 1274 A.D. in Fossa Nuova, Italy], Doctor of the Church, Summa Theologica Part I-II, Question 66, Article 5, Reply to Objection 4).

Father Martin J. Healy, S.T.D. in “My Way of Life” says that “Wisdom is pre-emient” because:

“Wisdom has as its object God as the ultimate cause of all things” (Father Walter Farrell, O.P., S.T.M. Father Martin J. Healy, S.T.D., “My Way of Life” Pocket Edition of St. Thomas, The Summa [Theologica] Simplified for Everyone, Part IIa, Happiness, Chapter VIII Striving for Happiness, p. 251).

This simply means that Wisdom is the completeness of knowledge since Saint Thomas, citing Aristotle (Nicomachean Ethics, VI,7; 1141a, 19-20), observes it is by Wisdom that our mind is perfected in the knowledge of the highest matters (Saint Thomas Aquinas, O.P., Summa Contra Gentiles, Book IV, Chapter 12, ¶ 2).

It should be self-evident that Christ’s reference to Daniel’s “Abomination of Desolation” is of the highest matter, otherwise Christ would not have been so insistent that “he that readeth let him understand”.

But what are we to understand?

The Four Parts of Christ's Prophecy

The first part of Christ’s prophecy is about the Roman General Titus Flavius Vespasianus, a.k.a. Titus ([b. at Rome, Italy on Friday, December 30, 39 A.D. - d. at Rome, Italy on Saturday, September 13, 81 A.D.], Pagan Roman Emperor [Saturday, June 24, 79 A.D. - Saturday, September 13, 81 A.D.] who was a member of the Flavian Dynasty), who destroyed the city of Jerusalem on Sunday, September 7, 70 A.D.

The Catholics who were living in Jerusalem had fled to Pella just immediately before the Roman siege of Jerusalem began in 69 A.D. according to Bishop Eusebius Pamphili, who was the Bishop of Caesarea in Palestine [b. c. 260 A.D. - d. c. 340 A.D.],  and the Father of Church History (Historia Ecclesiastica [Ecclesiastical History], Book 3, Chapter 5, Part 3).

So, in today’s Gospel, where you read in part:

“Then they that are in Judea, let them flee to the mountains:  And he that is on the housetop, let him not come down to take any thing out of his house: And he that is in the field, let him not go back to take his coat” (Matthew 24:16-18), you are reading part of Christ’s prophecy about the Catholics of Jerusalem fleeing to Pella in 69 A.D. to avoid the Roman siege shortly before it began.  They barely had time to flee Jerusalem and save their lives!

Beginning with verse 21, you find the second part of Christ’s prophecy about the end of the world which begins:

“For there shall be then great tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world until now, neither shall be.”

However, there are other Scripture exegetics who point out how the so-called “Apocalypse” of the Prophet Isaias found in his chapters 24 to 27 deals only with the overthrow of the arch-enemy of the progeny of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, i.e. Assyria.  The point is that the mere mention of a world-wide judgement does not automatically mean that this part of Christ’s prophecy refers to the end of the world per se because, historically, every intervention of God is identified as a world judgement.

That this latter interpretation seems to make more sense can be adduced from the fact that there is yet a third part of Christ’s prophecy where He says, beginning with verse 23:

“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” (Matthew 24:23-25).

This is an indirect reference to THE anti-Christ who will be an actual person, not some organization like OPEC or NAFTA or the European Common Market because he is called the “beast” in  Apocalypse 19:19-20:

“And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies gathered together to make war with Him [the King of kings and Lord of lords] that sat upon the horse, and with His army.  And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet, who wrought signs before him, wherewith he seduced them who received the character of the beast, and who adored his image.  These two were cast alive into the pool of fire, burning with brimstone.”

Then will come the thousand years of peace according to Apocalypse 20:1-2:

“And I saw an angel coming down from Heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit, and a great chain in his hand.  And he laid hold on the dragon the old serpent, which is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. And he cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should no more seduce the nations, till the thousand years be finished.”

The fourth part of Christ’s prophecy seems to begin with verse 30:

“And then shall appear the sign of 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:  and they shall gather together His Elect from the four winds, from the farthest parts of the heavens to the utmost bounds of them.”

This prophecy seems to be about the end of the world, when everyone shall see the Sign of the Cross in the sky and all the tribes of the earth shall mourn, etc.

The “Abomination of Desolation”

But there is more!  Remember in verse 15 Christ said: “ When therefore you shall see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of by Daniel the prophet”, exactly what was it that Daniel had said?  Daniel refers to the “abomination of desolation” in several places.

In Daniel 9:27 you read:

“And in the half of the week the Victim and the Sacrifice shall fail:  and there shall be in the Temple the Abomination of Desolation:  and the Desolation shall continue even to the consummation, and to the end.”

But Daniel  11:31 is even more specific:

“And they shall defile the Sanctuary of Strength, and shall take away the Continual Sacrifice, and they shall place there the Abomination unto desolation.”

In analyzing these Scriptures, notice how the text reads, and We will emphasize the important words:

“THE VICTIM and THE SACRIFICE shall fail” and “they shall defile the Sanctuary of Strength, and shall take away THE CONTINUAL SACRIFICE”.

The Jewish Temple in Jerusalem was the one and only Temple of the Jews where there were MANY VICTIMS and MANY SACRIFICES.  They did NOT have just THE ONE VICTIM and THE ONE SACRIFICE of this prophecy.  Nor did they ever have THE CONTINUAL SACRIFICE because their animal sacrifices began at dawn and ended at dusk.

On the contrary, the Prophet Malachias tells you what THE VICTIM, THE SACRIFICE, and THE CONTINUAL SACRIFICE is in Malachias 1:11:

“For from the rising of the sun even to the going down, my name is great among the Gentiles, and in every place there is sacrifice, and there is offered to my name a clean oblation: for my name is great among the Gentiles, saith the Lord of hosts.”

Before Synod Vatican 2 [Thursday, October 11, 1962 - Wednesday, December 8, 1965], the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass was offered around the world so that the sun never rose nor went down on the Mass.  In other words, during every one of the 24 hours of a day, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass was being offered in various places around the world non-stop.

So, what does this mean if you put it into context?

On the one hand, you read about THE VICTIM, THE SACRIFICE, and THE CONTINUAL SACRIFICE and how:

“they shall defile the Sanctuary of Strength, and shall take away the Continual Sacrifice, and they shall place there the Abomination unto desolation” (Daniel  11:31).

Some have said that the “Abomination of Desolation” refers to anti-Christ because Christ says in Matthew 24:24:

“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”.

However, Christ does NOT specifically mention THE one and only anti-Christ, but rather speaks of many “false Christs and false prophets”, obviously in the same sense in which you read in 1 John 2:18:

“You have heard that THE anti-Christ cometh, even now there are become many anti-Christs”.

Therefore, the one and only possible conclusion can be, by process of elimination, is that the “Abomination of Desolation” ONLY refers to the NOVUS ORDO MISSÆ, the so-called Novus Ordo Rite, of Paul 6 (Giovanni Battista Montini [Friday, June 21, 1963 - Sunday, August 6, 1978]), but most especially to the NUDE NOR of the professional actor who later became Pope JP-2 (John-Paul 2, Karol Wyotya [Monday, October 16, 1978 - Friday, April 1, 2005]) (JP-2 was a title he liked to call himself), which he instituted in Papua, New Guinea, on Tuesday, May 8, 1984 A.D.

We would suspect that many members of the Vatican 2 church will be wont to take issue with Our interpretation of the “Abomination of Desolation” as referring to the NOVUS ORDO MISSÆ, the so-called Novus Ordo Rite, of Pope Paul 6, but most especially to the NUDE Novus Ordo Rite, a.k.a. NUDE Novus Ordo Missae, of Pope JP-2.

The Ontological Essence and the Metaphysical Essence of the Mass

First.  We designate the church instituted by Synod Vatican 2 as the Vatican 2 church.  Why?

The Roman Catholic Pope Celestine I [Saturday, September 10, 422  - Tuesday, July 27, 432 ] taught the principle:  Legem Credendi Lex Statuit Supplicandi.  [The Liturgical form of prayer becomes the standard of Faith.]  This is sometimes shortened to simply Lex Orandi, Lex Credendi:  The Law of Praying is the Law of Believing.

In plain, Anglo-Saxon English this simply means that you express, by a public, exterior liturgical act of worship, your own personal interior beliefs of your faith. Therefore, you pray what you believe and you believe what you pray.

Second.  The defenders of the NOVUS ORDO MISSÆ, the so-called Novus Ordo Rite, of Pope Paul 6, but most especially the NUDE Novus Ordo Rite, a.k.a. NUDE Novus Ordo Missae, of Pope JP-2, would most probably be wont to take the position that these mass rites are both valid and lawful.

On the contrary, because none of the so-called "mass" rites of the the Vatican 2 church, whether they are any one and/or all of such liturgical rites as the Novus Ordo Missae of Pope Paul 6, or the so-called "circus mass", or the so-called "clown mass", or the so-called "rock n' roll mass", or the so-called "President of the Assembly mass", or the so-called "ecumenical mass", or the so-called "polka mass", etc., etc., etc. (N.B.  the actual names of these so-called "masses" seem to vary from place to place), or the NUDE Novus Ordo Missae of Pope JP-2, or his "pagan Sign of the Tilak mass", or his "pagan Voodoo mass", or his "pagan Aztec mass", etc., etc. contain either the ontological essence of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, or the metaphysical essence of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, both of which were most perfectly instituted by Jesus Christ, the Eternal High Priest, during the very first Mass which Jesus Christ Himself offered on that first Holy Thursday evening, the night before His Passion and Death.

Lest there is no misunderstanding, We repeat:

None of the so-called "mass" rites of the the Satanic Vatican 2 church contain either the ontological essence of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, or the metaphysical essence of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, which were perfectly instituted by Jesus Christ.

It is very important to both know, as well as to fully understand, that Jesus Christ, the Eternal High Priest, Who holds the Primacy over His Church, did NOT give any of His Apostles, not even Saint Peter, or any of their successors, or any Church Council or Synod any power, authority, and/or jurisdiction to change the immutable ontological essence of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, or the immutable metaphysical essence of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

Although it is true that anyone can say anything, theologically speaking, this has been verified by the Angelic Doctor who writes in part the reason WHY Jesus Christ, the Eternal High Priest, Who holds the Primacy over His Church ("He [Christ] is the head of the [Mystical] Body, the [Catholic] Church, Who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in ALL things He may hold the Primacy.." [Colossians 1:18] - words do mean something!!), did NOT give any one person, or group of persons, or even His Church in whatsoever manner, any power, authority, and/or jurisdiction to change the immutable ontological essence of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, or the metaphysical essence of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass:

“Since, therefore, the sanctification of man is in the power of God Who sanctifies, it is not for man to decide what things should be used for his sanctification, but this should be determined by Divine institution” (Saint Thomas Aquinas, O.P., [b. 1225 A.D. in Rocca Secca, Naples, Italy - d. Wednesday, March 7, 1274 A.D., in Fossa Nuova, Italy], Doctor of the Church, Summa Theologica, Part III, Question 60, Article 5, Body; emphasis added).

It is an historical, liturgical, and theological fact that both the immutable ontological essence of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and also the metaphysical essence of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, were "determined by Divine institution”, i.e. they were determined by the Divine institution of Jesus Christ Himself on that first Holy Thursday night.

As a matter of fact, We have discovered, in private communications with various high-ranking Clergy, not to mention a very famous Doctor of Theology, who are all current members of the Vatican 2 church, that none of them have the foggiest idea of what the actual ontological essence and the actual metaphysical essence of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass really is which Jesus Christ so perfectly instituted and without which there can never be a valid, as well as a lawful, liturgical rite of the Catholic Traditional Mass which, in the West, has been termed the "Ancient Roman Rite" by certain liturgical scholars who wrote before Synod Vatican 2 ever began!!!!

Astounding!!!!

Private Revelation

Skeptics usually do not give up easily, so We would have them prayerfully ponder the following Private Revelation.  But first, two observations about "Private Revelation".

“As regards the guidance of human acts, the prophetic revelation varied not according to the course of time, but according as circumstances required, because as it is written (Proverbs 29:18), ‘When prophecy shall fail, the people shall be scattered abroad.’  Wherefore at all times men were divinely instructed about what they were to do, according as it was expedient for the spiritual welfare of the elect”  (Saint Thomas Aquinas, O.P., [b. 1225 A.D. in Rocca Secca, Naples, Italy - d. Wednesday, March 7, 1274 A.D. in Fossa Nuova, Italy], Doctor of the Church, Summa Theologica, Part II-II, Question 174, Article 6, Body).

“The prophets who foretold the coming of Christ could not continue further than John, who, with his finger, pointed to Christ actually present. Nevertheless as [Saint] Jerome says on this passage, ‘This does not mean that there were no more prophets after John. For we read in the Acts of the Apostles that Agabus and the four maidens, daughters of Philip, prophesied.’ John, too, wrote a prophetic book about the end of the Church; and at all times there have not been lacking persons having the spirit of prophecy, not indeed for the declaration of any new doctrine of faith, but for the direction of human acts. Thus Augustine says (De Civ. Dei [City of God] v, 26) that ‘the emperor Theodosius sent to John who dwelt in the Egyptian desert, and whom he knew by his ever-increasing fame to be endowed with the prophetic spirit: and from him he received a message assuring him of victory’” (Saint Thomas Aquinas, O.P.,  Summa Theologica, Part II-II, Question 174, Article 6, Reply to Objection 3).

Therefore, Private Revelations are not to be despised and/or ignored.

Visions and Prophecies of Marie-Julie Jahenny

Marie-Julie Jahenny was favored with frequent visions of Jesus and Mary, as well as many prophecies. The truth of the Heavenly warnings of which she was to be the humble messenger was vindicated by her characteristic simplicity and honesty, her exemplary obedience to her Spiritual Directors and her Bishop, and of course, by the fulfillment of what she prophecized during her long life.

For example, with unfailing accuracy she foretold:

1)  World War I;
2)  World War II;
3)  the election as Pope of Saint Pius X;
4)  the various persecutions of the Roman Catholic Church;
5)  the chastisements and the fate of apostate France.

Her warnings for the Last Times should be read by all “who have ears.” Marie-Julie was the wonder of the many scientists who examined her continually, the scorn of unbelievers and the proud, the admiration of her lifelong friend, Monsignor Fourier, Bishop of Nantes, and of the devoted circle of those who made the diffusion of her messages to an ungrateful and unheeding world their life's work. She went to her Heavenly reward on Tuesday, March 4, 1941.

Blind, deaf, dumb and crippled, she had subsisted miraculously on the Blessed Sacrament alone, for many of the last years of her life. Surely then, we will not pass over lightly what God has confided to her for the benefit of our own sad days.

Prophecies About the Roman Catholic Church

During a Locution, she heard Lucifer tell Jesus Christ:

“I will attack the Church. I will overthrow the Cross, I will decimate the people, I will deposit a great weakness of Faith in hearts. There will also be a great denial of Religion.  For a time I will be master of all things, everything will be under my control, even Your temple and all Your people.”

Marie-Julie has said:

“Saint Michael says that Satan will have possession of everything for some time and that he will reign completely over everything; that all goodness, Faith, Religion will be buried in the tomb...  Satan and his own will triumph with joy, but after this triumph, the Lord will, in His turn, gather His own people and will reign and triumph over evil and will raise up from the tomb the buried Church, the prostrated cross. . . "

Marie-Julie Jahenny [June 1881]:

“In their [priests] aberration, they will break their oaths. The Book of Life contains a list of names that ‘rends the heart.’ Because of the little respect it has for the Apostles of God, the flock grows careless and ceases to observe the laws. The Priest himself is responsible for the lack of respect because he does not respect enough his Holy Ministry, and the place which he occupies in his Sacred functions. The flock follows in the footsteps of its Pastors; this is a great tragedy.”

“The Clergy will be severely punished on account of their inconceivable fickleness and great cowardice which is incompatible with their functions. A terrible chastisement has been provided for those who ascend every morning the steps of the Holy Sacrifice. I have not come on your altars to be tortured. I suffer a hundredfold more from such hearts than any of the others. I absolve you from your great sins, My children, but I cannot grant any pardon to these Priests.”

Marie-Julie Jahenny said:  “Those who govern the Flock”  will be responsible for the coming crisis. She mentioned the growing freedom enjoyed by Priests and Bishops and how badly they would use it.   Marie-Julie then went on to say the “Red Revolution” (Communism) would break out.

Marie-Julie Jahenny was 100% correct!  Here are some historical proofs.

It is an historical fact that the Roman Catholic Church was infiltrated by Communists, Freemasons, Modernist heretics, etc.

Here are Several Proofs that the
Roman Catholic Church was Infiltrated
by Communists and Modernist Heretics

Pope Saint Pius X, Giuseppe Sarto [Tuesday, August 4, 1903 - Thursday, August 20, 1914], in his Encyclical “Pascendi Dominici Gregis” - On the Doctrine of the Modernists [Sunday, September 8, 1907], laments about how Modernist Heretics had gotten teaching positions in many Roman Catholic Seminaries and Monasteries long before 1907!!!

“43. And here we have already some of the artifices employed by Modernists to exploit their wares. What efforts do they not make to win new recruits! They seize upon professorships in the seminaries and universities, and gradually make of them chairs of pestilence. In sermons from the pulpit they disseminate their doctrines, although possibly in utterances which are veiled. In congresses they express their teachings more openly. In their social gatherings they introduce them and commend them to others. Under their own names and under pseudonyms they publish numbers of books, newspapers, reviews, and sometimes one and the same writer adopts a variety of pseudonyms to trap the incautious reader into believing in a multitude of Modernist writers. In short, with feverish activity they leave nothing untried in act, speech, and writing. And with what result? We have to deplore the spectacle of many young men, once full of promise and capable of rendering great services to the Church, now gone astray. [N.B.  Many of these "young men" eventually were Ordained Priests; some became Bishops, others Archbishops, others Cardinals, and still others - Popes!!!] It is also a subject of grief to Us that many others who, while they certainly do not go so far as the former, have yet been so infected by breathing a poisoned atmosphere, as to think, speak, and write with a degree of laxity which ill becomes a Catholic. They are to be found among the laity, and in the ranks of the clergy, and they are not wanting even in the last place where one might expect to meet them, in religious communities...” (“Pascendi Dominici Gregis”, paragraph # 43, emphasis added).

But after 1907 things got even worse!!!

For example, Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, D.D., R.I.P. brought back to the Roman Catholic Church a famous Communist.  After her conversion, she went around trying to warn everyone about what she and other Communists had done here in the United States concerning the Roman Catholic Church.

Mrs. Bella V. Dodd, a.k.a.  Maria Asunta Isabella Visono [Baptized Maria Asunta Isabella in Picerno, Italy in October, 1904 - d. April, 1969], who was born to Rocco Visono and Teresa Marsica in Picerno, Italy, was a leader of the Communist Party of America (CPUSA - Communist Party U.S.A.) in the 1930’s and 1940’s.

She was a brilliant and dedicated woman who was a graduate of Hunter College and of New York University Law School. She became head of the New York State Teachers Union and was a member of the National Council of the CPUSA (Communist Party U.S.A.) until 1949. In June, 1949 the Communist Party released a statement to the Associated Press announcing her expulsion from membership in the Communist Party.

On Tuesday, August 5, 1952 she publicly announced that on Monday, April 7, 1952, she had been received back into the Roman Catholic Church. Not being able to secure her Baptismal certificate from Italy after inquiry, she was Conditionally Baptized (sub-conditione) by Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen in St. Patrick’s Cathedral, New York City.

The New York Times ran a front page article entitled “Bella Dodd Asserts Reds Got Presidential Advisory Posts” reporting that she “swore before the Senate Internal Security subcommittee today that Communists had got into many legislative offices of Congress and into a number of groups advising the President of the United States” (The New York Times, Wednesday, March 11 1953, C. P. Trussell, “Bella Dodd Asserts Reds Got Presidential Advisory Posts”).

The New York Times reported that Bella Dodd  “..warned yesterday that the materialistic philosophy, which she said was now guiding public education, would eventually demoralize the nation” (The New York Times, Monday, March 8 1954, “Bella Dodd Assails Materialism In U.S.”).
 

Mrs. Bella Dodd states in her book that the Communist Party’s structure:

“was in reality a device to control the common man” (Bella Dodd, “School of Darkness”, published in 1954, chapter 16).

Mrs. Bella Dodd also claimed that the Communist party actively infiltrated agents into Roman Catholic Seminaries.

She  told her friend, Dr. Alice von Hildebrand, the theologian, that:

“When she was an active party member, she had dealt with no fewer than four cardinals within the Vatican who were working for us, [i.e. the Communist Party]” (Christian Order magazine, “The Church in Crisis”, reprinted from The Latin Mass magazine).

Mrs. Bella Dodd gave voluminous testimony on the Communist infiltration of the Roman Catholic Church and in the United States government before the House Un-American Activities Committee in the 1950’s.

In a lecture at Fordham University during that time, Mrs. Dodd unveiled what would seem to be an uncanny prophecy of future chaos in the Church.

She  provided detailed information of the Communist subversion of the Roman Catholic Church.

Speaking as a former high ranking official of the American Communist Party, Mrs. Dodd said in part:

“In the 1930’s we put eleven hundred men into the priesthood in order to destroy the [Roman Catholic] Church from within.” The idea was for these men to be ordained and progress to positions of influence and authority as Monsignors and Bishops. In 1950, a dozen years before Vatican II, she stated that: “Right now they are in the highest places in the Church” where they were working to bring about change in order to weaken the Church’s effectiveness against Communism. She also said that these changes would be so drastic that “you will not recognize the Catholic Church.”

Therefore, is it any wonder that Synod Vatican 2 had more than its share of Freemasons, Communists, Modernists, Satanists, etc.??!!

This helps to explain why:

“[Synod Vatican 2 was] the greatest disaster in recent ecclesiastical history” (Giuseppe Cardinal Siri [b. Sunday, May 20, 1906 in Genoa, Italy - d. Tuesday, May 2, 1989], Archbishop of Genoa, Italy, from “Pontiff”, p. 369 - Gordon Thomas/Max Morgan Witts).

 “[Synod Vatican 2 was] a sinister farce acted out by three thousand good-for-nothings, some of whom, despite the gold [pectoral] crosses on their chests, don’t even believe in the Trinity or the Virgin”  (Bishop Antonio Romeo of the Sacred Congregation of Rites in Bob Considine’s column ON THE LINE in the NEW YORK JOURNAL AMERICAN of Friday, November 27, 1964.)

“I pray to God that I may die before the end of the council -- in that way I can die a Catholic” (Alfredo Cardinal Ottaviani, June 1962, Cardinal Prefect of the Supreme Holy Office, following a speech by Cardinal Montini  - the future Paul VI - on the need for changes in the Church).

Marie-Julie Jahenny speaks of a “horrible religion” which would replace the Catholic Faith, and she saw “many, many bishops” embracing this “sacrilegious, infamous religion”.

Marie-Julie Jahenny is 100% correct again!

This  “horrible religion” which would replace the Catholic Faith, and the “many, many bishops” she saw embracing this “sacrilegious, infamous religion” is the religion of Synod Vatican 2, called the Satanic Vatican 2 church, which was “birthed” by the Communist, Freemasonic, Modernist infiltrators, including those “four cardinals within the Vatican who were working for” the Communist Party, not to mention those “eleven hundred men [i.e. Communists she put] into the priesthood in order to destroy the [Roman Catholic] Church from within!!!!

The “many, many bishops” Marie-Julie Jahenny saw embracing this “sacrilegious, infamous religion” were the “three thousand good-for-nothings” who took part in the “sinister farce” known as Synod Vatican 2!!!

Prophecies on the Novus Ordo Missae, the New Mass

Here are Marie-Julies’s prophecies concerning the Novus Ordo Missae, a.k.a. the New Mass.

Marie-Julie saw that:

“There will not remain any vestige of the Holy Sacrifice, no apparent trace of faith. Confusion will be everywhere...”

On Saturday, November 27, 1902, the 72nd anniversary of the Miraculous Medal Apparition [Saturday, November 27, 1830], Our Lord warned of the conspiracy of evil people which was already inventing a new liturgy - this was in 1902!!! - to replace the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass:

“I give you a warning. The disciples who are not of My Gospel are now working hard to remake, according to their ideas, and under the influence of the enemy of souls [Satan], a Mass that contains words which are odious in My Sight. When the fatal hour arrives where the faith of My Priests are put to the test, it will be these texts that will be celebrated, in this second period.”

“The first period is the one of My Priesthood, existing since Me. The second is the one of the persecution, when the enemies of the Faith and of Holy Religion will impose their formulas in the book of the second celebration. These infamous spirits are those who crucified me and are awaiting the kingdom of the New Messias.  Many of My holy Priests will refuse this book, sealed with the words of the abyss. Unfortunately, amongst them are those who will accept it.”

On Tuesday, May 10, 1904, Our Lady described the New Clergy and their liturgy:

“They will not stop on this hateful and sacrilegious road. They will go further to compromise all at once, and in one blow, the Holy Church, the Clergy, and the Faith of my children.”

She announced the “dispersion of the pastors” by the church herself; true Pastors, who will be replaced by others formed by Hell:  “...NEW preachers of NEW sacraments, NEW temples [i.e churches], NEW baptisms, NEW confraternities.”

The Novus Ordo Missae  - the “NEW Mass” - A Protestant Memorial Supper Meal
Made up by Communists, Freemasons, and Modernists Heretics

“....the NOVUS ORDO represents, both as a whole and in its details, a striking departure from the Catholic theology of the Mass as it was formulated in Session 22 of the Synod of Trent.  The Canons on the [Ancient Roman] Rite definitively fixed at that time provided an insurmountable barrier to any heresy directed against the integrity of the Mystery” (His Eminence Alfredo Cardinal Ottaviani [b. on Wednesday, October 29, 1890 - d. on Friday, August 3, 1979] was Secretary of the Holy Office of the Roman Curia from 1959 to 1966 when that dicastery was reorganized as the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith, in which he served as Pro-Prefect, until 1968, the Prefect-Emeritus of the Sacred Congregation of the Faith,  LETTER TO POPE PAUL, September 25, 1969; emphasis added). “It is rather strong to claim that the New Mass is contrary to the Council of Trent but, displeasing as it is, it is true” (Alfredo Cardinal Ottaviani, Cardinal Prefect of the Supreme Holy Office).

“Are we seeking to stir up wonder, or perhaps scandal, among the Christian people, by introducing changes in so venerable a rite that has been approved for so many centuries and is now so familiar?  The rite of Holy Mass should not be treated as if it were a piece of cloth to be refashioned according to the whim of each generation” (Alfredo Cardinal Ottaviani, Cardinal Prefect of the Holy Office, 1962, Ralph M. Wiltgen, “The Rhine Flows into the Tiber”, Tan Books, 1967, p. 28).

No wonder the Catholic Traditional Faith, Mass, and Sacraments were changed, and Catholic Traditional books were thrown out to be replaced by these anti-Catholic infiltrators!!!

An article in “Christian Order”  magazine (November, 2000) recounts how Mrs. Bella Dodd and her associate, Douglas Hyde, revealed the plan for the Communist subversion of the Roman Catholic Church.

Ex-Communist and celebrated Roman Catholic convert, Douglas Hyde, revealed long ago that in the 1930’s the Communist leadership issued a worldwide directive about infiltrating the Roman Catholic Church.

Fruits of the New Mass

“By their fruits you shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit, and the evil tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can an evil tree bring forth good fruit” (Matthew 7:15-17).

Given the foregoing, it should be plain that the New Mass was conceived for an evil purpose and constructed by evil means. It only follows that such a tree would have disastrous effects on the church. Let us look at its fruits.

From 1965 to 1973, between 22,000 and 25,000 Priests left the Priesthood. Today, this figure has reached over 110,000.  In addition, 157,000 out of 365,000, or about 43%, of what were once Roman Catholic parishes have no resident Priest. In 1970 there were 1,003,670 women Religious with perpetual or provisional vows; in 1992 that number was down to 655,031 (cf. “In the Murky Waters of Vatican II”, ISBN 0-89555-636-7).

The 1998 edition of the Official Catholic Directory of the Vatican 2 church in the U.S. revealed that the number of seminarians was only 1,700, a decline of almost 97% from the 1965 figure of 48,992.

In countries such as France and Holland the percentage of Catholics going to the Vatican 2 church New Mass each Sunday has declined to a single digit.  In the U.S., attendance at Vatican 2 churches has steadily declined from 71% in 1963 to 25% percent in 1993, a decrease of 65%.

Newsweek polls and surveys show that only 15% of the members of the Vatican 2 church believe they should always obey the teachings of their church.  Almost as many Vatican 2 catholics think abortion is permissible as non-Catholics, and 75% of members of the Vatican 2 church disagree with their church on what it teaches in regard to the forbidding of divorce and contraception.

Another study revealed that only 25% of Vatican 2 church “catholics”  now believe in the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist and only 50% of Vatican 2 priests still believe in the Real Presence.

Who could possibly claim that there is not a terrible crisis of Faith, especially in what used to be Roman Catholic Churches now illegally operated and owned by the Vatican 2 church? Such are the fruits of the New Mass of the Vatican 2 church.

In case you missed it, here are a few similar facts of how by their fruits you will know them:

An Index of Catholicism’s Decline

A Review by Pat Buchanan

As the Watergate scandal of 1973-1974 diverted attention from the far greater tragedy unfolding in Southeast Asia, so, too, the scandal of predator-priests now afflicting the Catholic Church may be covering up a far greater calamity.

Thirty-seven years after the end of the only church council of the 20th century, the jury has come in with its verdict: Vatican II appears to have been an unrelieved disaster for Roman Catholicism.

Liars may figure, but figures do not lie. Kenneth C. Jones of St. Louis has pulled together a slim volume of statistics he has titled Index of Leading Catholic Indicators: The Church Since Vatican II.

His findings make prophets of Catholic traditionalists who warned that Vatican II would prove a blunder of historic dimensions, and those same findings expose as foolish and naive those who believed a council could reconcile Catholicism and modernity. When [2nd] Pope John XXIII threw open the windows of the church, all the poisonous vapors of modernity entered, along with the Devil himself. Here are Jones's grim statistics of Catholicism's decline:

Priests. While the number of priests in the United States more than doubled to 58,000, between 1930 and 1965, since then that number has fallen to 45,000. By 2020, there will be only 31,000 priests left, and more than half of these priests will be over 70.

Ordinations. In 1965, 1,575 new priests were ordained in the United States. In 2002, the number was 450. In 1965, only 1 percent of U.S. parishes were without a priest. Today, there are 3,000 priestless parishes, 15 percent of all U.S. parishes.

Seminarians. Between 1965 and 2002, the number of seminarians dropped from 49,000 to 4,700, a decline of over 90 percent. Two-thirds of the 600 seminaries that were operating in 1965 have now closed.

Sisters. In 1965, there were 180,000 Catholic nuns. By 2002, that had fallen to 75,000 and the average age of a Catholic nun is today 68. In 1965, there were 104,000 teaching nuns. Today, there are 8,200, a decline of 94 percent since the end of Vatican II.

Religious Orders. For religious orders in America, the end is in sight.

In 1965, 3,559 young men were studying to become Jesuit priests. In 2000, the figure was 389.

With the Christian Brothers, the situation is even more dire. Their number has shrunk by two-thirds, with the number of seminarians falling 99 percent. In 1965, there were 912 seminarians in the Christian Brothers. In 2000, there were only seven.

The number of young men studying to become Franciscan and Redemptorist priests fell from 3,379 in 1965 to 84 in 2000.

Catholic schools. Almost half of all Catholic high schools in the United States have closed since 1965. The student population has fallen from 700,000 to 386,000. Parochial schools suffered an even greater decline. Some 4,000 have disappeared, and the number of pupils attending has fallen below 2 million -- from 4.5 million.

Though the number of U.S. Catholics has risen by 20 million since 1965, Jones' statistics show that the power of Catholic belief and devotion to the Faith are not nearly what they were.

Catholic Marriage. Catholic marriages have fallen in number by one-third since 1965, while the annual number of annulments has soared from 338 in 1968 to 50,000 in 2002.

Attendance at Mass. A 1958 Gallup Poll reported that three in four Catholics attended church on Sundays. A recent study by the University of Notre Dame found that only one in four now attend.

Only 10 percent of lay religious teachers now accept church teaching on contraception.

Fifty-three percent believe a Catholic can have an abortion and remain a good Catholic.

Sixty-five percent believe that Catholics may divorce and remarry.

Seventy-seven percent believe one can be a good Catholic without going to mass on Sundays.

By one New York Times poll, 70 percent of all Catholics in the age group 18 to 44 believe the Eucharist is merely a "symbolic reminder" of Jesus.

At the opening of Vatican II, reformers were all the rage. They were going to lead us out of our Catholic ghettos by altering the liturgy, rewriting the Bible and missals, abandoning the old traditions, making us more ecumenical, and engaging the world. And their legacy?

Four decades of devastation wrought upon the church, and the final disgrace of a hierarchy that lacked the moral courage of the Boy Scouts to keep the perverts out of the seminaries, and throw them out of the rectories and schools of Holy Mother Church.

Through the papacy of Pius XII, the church resisted the clamor to accommodate itself to the world and remained a moral beacon to mankind. Since Vatican II, the church has sought to meet the world halfway.

Jones' statistics tell us the price of appeasement.

Conclusion

The above historical data simply proves that the prophecies of Marie-Julie Jahenny have been 100% correct!

The Novus Ordo Rite of the New Mass of the Satanic Vatican 2 church is condemned by its own nature, by its fruits, and even by Jesus Christ Himself and Our Blessed Mother!

Our Lady of LaSalette

But 58 years before Our Lady gave Marie-Julie Jahenny her prophecies about the New Clergy and their liturgy, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to two children at LaSalette on Saturday, September 19, 1846 and gave each of them a Secret.

On Tuesday, August 24, 1852, Pope Pius IX, Giovanni M. Mastai Ferretti [Tuesday, June 16, 1846 - Thursday, February 7, 1878] recognized the authenticity of the apparition of Our Blessed Mother at LaSalette Mount in France as well as the two Secrets of Our Lady of LaSalette gave tot he children, of which Pius IX also considered to be worthy of belief for Roman Catholics.

The Bishop of Lecce, Italy gave his approval to the publication of a brochure, which was printed in 1879 by Frances Melanie Mathieu, containing the entire Secret message Our Lady of LaSalette had given to her.

Among others things, Our Blessed Mother prophecized in her Secret message to Frances Melanie Mathieu that:

"Rome will lose the faith and become the seat of anti-Christ."

The Seat of anti-Christ

This prophecy has been fulfilled insofar as the fact that Rome HAS lost the Catholic Faith because it teaches anti-Catholic errors and lies, it uses an updated, modernized, 16th Century PROTESTANT Memorial Supper Meal, a.k.a. the Satanic Abomination of Desolation for its "mass" which is an anti-Mass and has thereby replaced the Catholic Traditional Ancient Roman Rite of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass of the Catholic Church which Jesus Christ not only perfectly instituted, but never gave anyone the power or authority to change it's ontological and metaphysical essences in any way!!

If a Catholic were to consciously deny one article of the Catholic Faith, that Catholic would be on the road to Hell.  It is self-evident for growing numbers of people that the New Mass, the Novus Ordo Rite of the Novus Ordo Missae of Paul 6 cannot have come from God, whereas the Ancient Roman Rite of Mass of the Catholic Church comes directly from the Eternal High Priest, Jesus Christ, the Second Person of the Most Blessed Trinity, Who did all things well.

There is only ONE safe course for everyone to follow - to assist at  the Ancient Roman Rite of Mass of the Catholic Church in the Catholic Church, now to be found in Catacombs III.  Yet how many people risk the loss of their immortal souls for all eternity by going to the Vatican 2 church which has nothing “Catholic” in it, but instead, an updated 16th Century Protestant Supper-Memorial Meal which denies Almighty God the Sacrifice of Adoration, Worship, Thanksgiving, and Propitiation which GOD requires and which some finite men have replaced with what THEY demand that God accept!

Remember:

“Since, therefore, the sanctification of man is in the power of God Who sanctifies, it is not for man to decide what things should be used for his sanctification, but this should be determined by Divine institution” (Saint Thomas Aquinas, O.P., [b. 1225 A.D. in Rocca Secca, Naples, Italy - d. Wednesday, March 7, 1274 A.D., in Fossa Nuova, Italy], Doctor of the Church, Summa Theologica, Part III, Question 60, Article 5, Body; emphasis added).

Resolutions

For your resolutions today, pray to God that He will give not only whoever of your loved ones, but everyone else, who goes to the Novus Ordo Rite of the Vatican 2 church, the Grace of Conversion, so that they will no longer offend Almighty God by taking part in what Almighty God Himself - in prophecy - calls the NOR, the Novus Ordo Missæ, namely: The “Abomination of Desolation”!!!

As a final resolution, in the Holy Name of Jesus, and in an exercise of Catholic Charity, please contribute to the support of the Church - in this case - the Shrine of Saint Jude.  Please help us to save Souls!  Thank you for your thoughtfulness and Charity! Remember, God is never outdone in generosity!!!

Think how happy you will be when, in the next life, God shows you all of the Souls you helped to save by helping our Apostolates, including this Sermon web site, because "he who causeth a sinner to be converted from the error of his way, shall save his soul from death, and shall cover a multitude of sins" (James 5:20).

“And in doing good, let us not fail.  For in due time we shall reap, not failing.  Therefore, whilst we have time, let us work good to all men, but especially to those who are of the household of the faith” (Galatians  6:9-10).

“When therefore you shall see the Abomination of Desolation, which was spoken of by Daniel the Prophet, standing in the Holy Place:  he that readeth let him understand” (GOSPEL, Matthew 24:15).

V   In the Name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Amen.
