Dom Gueranger Prophesied These our Times

[Dawn Marie]

Anyone with a brain can see where things are headed today, but it took (in my estimation) some special perspicacity for Dom Gueranger to extrapolate out from the French Revolution and 70-80 years of liberal government to the kind of crisis that is afflicting the Church today.  Gueranger knew that satanic liberalism would play a major role in the persecutions of the earth’s final days, under the instigation of the devil. However, I was blown away at much of the below, which seems to forecast also a great falling away in the Church, and not only among the erstwhile faithful, but even among those charged with keeping and protecting the Truth handed onto them through the solemn offices they hold.  This is practically a prophecy for the Church since Vatican II, and especially since March 2013. 

"It is then at the end of the world, more than at all previous times, when satan is turned loose in all his fury, that the faithful will have to remember the injunction given to us by the apostle in today’s Epistle (Eph V).  They will have to comport themselves with that circumspection which he enjoins, taking every possible care to keep their understanding, no less than their heart, pure, in those evil days.  Supernatural light will, in those days, not only have to withstand the attacks of the children of darkness, who will put forward their false doctrines; it will, moreover, be minimized and falsified by the very children of the light yielding on the question of principles; it will be endangered by the hesitations, and the  human prudence, of those who are called far-seeing men.  Many will practically ignore the master-truth, that the Church never can be overwhelmed by any created power or human reason.  If they do remember that our Lord has promised to uphold His Church even to the end of the world (St. Matt xxviii:20), they will still believe that they do a great service to the good cause by making certain politically clever concessions, not weighted in the balance of the sanctuary.  Those future worldly-wise prelates will forget that our Lord needs no shrewd schemes to help Him to keep His promise; they will entirely overlook this most elementary consideration, that the cooperation which Jesus deigns to accept at the hands of His servants in the defense of the rights of His Church, never could consist in the disguising of those grand truths which constitute the power and beauty of the bride.  They will forget the apostle’s maxim, laid down in his Epistle to the Romans, that to conform oneself to this world, to attempt an impossible adaptation of the Gospel to a world that is unchristianized, is not the means for proving what is good, and the acceptable, and the perfect will of God.  So that it will be a thing of real and rare merit, in many an occurrence of those unhappy times, merely to understand what is the will of God…..

“Make yourselves sure of the full reward,” says St. John (St. Jn viii:9), which is given only to the persevering thoroughness of doctrine and faith.  Besides, it will be then, as in all other times, that , according to the saying of the Holy Ghost, the simplicity of the just shall guide them, and far more safely than any human ingenuity could do; humility will give them wisdom; and, keeping themselves closely united to this noble companion, they will be made truly wise by her, and will know what is acceptable to God.  They will understand that, aspiring like the Church herself to union with the eternal Word, fidelity to the Spouse, for them as for the Church, is nothing else than fidelity to the truth; for the Word, who is the same object of love to both of them, is, in God, no other than the splendor of infinite truth.  Their one care, therefore, will ever be to approach nearer and nearer to their Beloved…….

By so doing, they will be serving their fellow-creatures in the best possible way, for they will be putting in practice the counsel of Jesus, who bids them seek first the Kingdom of God and His justice, and confide in Him for all the rest.  Others may have recourse to human and accommodating combinations, fitted to please all parties; they may put forward dubious compromises, which (so their suggesters think) will keep back, for some length of time, the fierce tide of revolution; but those who have God’s Spirit in them will put a very different construction on the admonition given us by the Apostle, to redeem the time the Lord gives us for His good.

……..When, therefore, the final tribulations shall commence; when exile shall scatter the faithful, and the sword shall slay them, and the world shall approve all that, prostrate, as it will then be, before the beast and his image (Apoc xiii) – let us not forget that we have a leader chosen by God, and proclaimed by the Church; a leader [he refers to St. Michael] who will marshal us during those final combats, in which the defeat of the Saints (Apoc xiii) will be more glorious than were the triumphs of the Church in the days when she ruled the world.

For what God will then ask of His servants is not success of diplomatical arrangements, nor a victory won by arms, but fidelity to His Truth – that is, to His Word; a fidelity all the more generous and perfect as there will be an almost universal falling off around the little army fighting under the Archangels banner.  Uttered by a single faithful heart, under such circumstances, and uttered with the bravery of faith and the ardor of love, the cry of St. Michael, which heretofore routed the infernal legions, will honor God more than the blasphemies uttered by the millions of degraded followers of the beast will insult Him."

Pope Benedict's warnings against divisions in the Church during
an interview on May 11, 2010.

"As for the new things we can find in this [Fatima] message today, there
is also the fact that attacks on the Pope and the Church come not only from
without, but the sufferings of the Church come precisely from within the
Church, from the sin existing within the Church. This too is something that
we have always known, but today we are seeing it in a really terrifying way:
that the greatest persecution of the Church come not from her enemies
without, but arises from sin within the Church, and that the Church thus
has a deep need to relearn penance, to accept purification, to learn
forgiveness on one hand, but also the need for justice."

Father O'Conner before his death, gave a homily titled "Reign of the
Antichrist" in which he described how changes within society and in the
institution were already at work to provide for the coming of Antichrist.
In this sermon and elsewhere, O'Conner outlined the catalyst for this
scheme unfolding as a result of 'Masonic conspirators' within the
organization whose plan, called 'Alta Vendetta,' would essentially take
control of the papacy and help the False Prophet deceive the world's
faithful (including Catholics) into worshiping the Antichrist.

The "smoke of Satan" reference hearkens even more directly to what a
close personal friend of Pope Paul VI (Malachi Martin) observed in interviews
and in two books he wrote about a Satanic "superforce" at work inside the
Vatican.

"Suddenly it became unarguable that now... the Roman Catholic organization
carried a permanent presence of clerics who worshiped Satan and liked it,"
wrote Martin. "The facts that brought the Pope to a new level of suffering were
mainly two: The systematic organizational links- the network, in other words,
that had been established between certain clerical homosexual groups and
Satanist covens. And the inordinate power and influence of that network."
In his book: 'The Keys of This Blood': The Struggle of World Dominion,
Martin wrote: "Most frighteningly for John Paul, he had come up against the
irremovable presence of a malign strength in his own Vatican and in certain
bishops chanceries. It was what knowledgeable Churchmen called the
'Superforce.' Rumors, always difficult to verify tied its installation to the beginning
of Pope Paul IV's Reign in 1963. Indeed Paul had alluded to somberly to 'the
smoke of Satan which has entered the sanctuary... an oblique reference to an
enthronement ceremony by Satanists in the Vatican.

Martin revealed even greater detail of a Luciferic 'Enthronement ceremony by
Satanists in the Vatican' in book the "Windswept House." The enthronement of the
Fallen Angel was effected within the Roman Catholic Citdal on June 29, 1963; a
fitting date for the historic promise about to be fulfilled. As the principal agents of
this ceremonial well knew, Satanist tradition had long predicted that the Time of
the Prince would be ushered in at the moment when a Pope would take the name
of the apostle Paul (Pope Paul VI)."

IN March 2010, Father Gabriele Amorth, the chief Vatican exorcist, told Italian
newspaper La Repubblica: "The devil resides in the Vatican and you can see the
consequences. He can remain hidden, or speak in different languages, or even
appear to be sympathetic. At times he makes fun of me. But I'm a man who is
happy in his work."

He added the evil influence in the highest ranks of the Catholic hierarchy, with
"cardinals who do not believe in Jesus and bishops who are linked to the demon."

Pope Francis
Progressivist Document of The Week

Italian Freemasonry officially supports Pope Bergoglio
The Day after the election of Pope Francis I, the Grand Orient of Italy (GOI) which
represents Freemasonry in Italy, issued a formal communique praising him for the
first egalitarian measures he took on the day of his election. the document also made
public the Freemasons expectations that the new Pope shall lead the Church on the
democratic path desired by Masonry.

Communique
Rome, March 14, 2013

Grand Master Raffi: "With Pope Francis nothing will be more as it was before. It is a
clear choice of fraternity for a Church of dialogue, which is not contaminated by the
logic and temptations of temporal power."

"A man of the poor far away from the Curia. Fraternity and the desire to dialogue
were his first concrete words. Perhaps nothing before.

Our hope is that the pontificate of Francis, the Pope who comes from the end of the
world can mark the return to the Church-Word instead of the Church-Institution,
promoting an open dialogue with the contemporary world, with believers and non-
believers, following the spring time of Vatican II."

Those were the comments of Gustavo Raffi, Grand Master of the Grand Orient of
Italy, at the beginning of the pontificate of Francis, in the world Jorge Mario Bergoglio.

"The Jesuit who is close to the least one of history", Raffi continues, "has the great
opportunity to show the world the face of a Church that must recover the announcement
of a new humanity, not the weight of an institution that close itself off in defense of its
own privileges. Bergoglio knows real life and will remember the lesson of one of his
favorite theologians, Romano Guardini, for whom the truth of love cannot be stopped.

"Simple cross he wore on his white cassock," concludes the Grand Master of Palazio
Giustiniani, "lets us hope that a Church of the people will re-discover its capacity of
goodwill and with Freemasonry, which, as the experience of Latin America teaches us,
works for the good and progress of humanity, as shown by Bolivar, Allende, and Jose'
Marti, to name only a few. This is the 'white smoke' that we expect from the Church of
our times."
