Excerpt: “The Prophecies and Revelations of Saint Bridget of Sweden.”

[Dawn Marie]

"THE FIRST MAN signifies the leader of the Church and his priests...

I NOW COMPLAIN over you, O head of my Church, who sit on my seat which I gave to Peter and his successors to sit on with a threefold dignity and power: First, so that they would have the power of binding and loosing souls from their sins. Second, so that they would open Heaven for the penitent. Third, so that that they would close Heaven to the damned and to those who despise my Law. 

BUT YOU, WHO should be healing souls and presenting them to me, you are in truth a murderer of souls. 

I APPOINTED PETER as shepherd and guardian of my sheep. But you, however, scatter and wound them. You are worse than Lucifer. For he was envious of me and desired to kill none but me so that he could rule in my place. 

BUT YOU ARE SO MUCH WORSE, for you do not only kill me by driving me off from yourself by your bad deeds, but you also kill souls by your bad example. 

I REDEEMED THE SOULS with my blood and entrusted them to you as to a faithful friend, but you deliver them back again to the enemy from whom I redeemed them. 

YOU ARE MORE UNRIGHTEOUS than Pilate. He judged no one else but me to death, but you not only judge me as if I were a powerless lord and worthy of no good thing, no, you also judge and condemn the souls of the innocent and let the guilty go free without any rebuke. 

YOU ARE MORE CRUEL than Judas who only sold me, but you not only sell me, but also the souls of my chosen men for your own shameful profit and vain name’s sake. 

YOU ARE MORE DESPICABLE than the Jews, for they only crucified my body, but you crucify and torture the souls of my chosen men for whom your malice and your sins are more bitter than from any wound from a sword. 

AND SO, SINCE YOU ARE LIKE LUCIFER and more unrighteous than Pilate and more cruel than Judas and more despicable than the Jews, I complain over you with justice."
