After Pope Benedict XVI, the 'Last' Roman Pontiff?

+

JMJ

Many have falsely taken that the successor of Pope Benedict XVI will be the last Roman Pontiff as given in the "Prophecies of St. Malachy" (cf., our post "Gloria Olivae"). They wrongly conclude therefore that the consummation is near.

The truth is, St. Malachy only did not give the Popes who will reign during the "period of peace" spoken of by Our Lady of Fatima - the period of the triumph of the Church that will be brought about by the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary*. This "period of peace" follows our "end-times period" - the Great Tribulation wherein the Sun (Our Lord Jesus Christ and His Gospel) and the moon (the Catholic Church) were darkened, eclipsed as it were, by the false Christ of the Neo-Catholic Theology and the pseudo-Church, the Neo-Catholic Church or the "Novus Ordo" [the New 'Catholic (Dis)order'] of Vatican II.

* Our Lady of Fatima said that the Holy Father will consecrate Russia to Her Immaculate Heart but this will be "late". "Late," that is, perhaps, the successor of Pope Benedict XVI will finally consecrate Russia to Her Immaculate Heart after that God will have shaken His ministers to their Catholic senses by bringing down the chastisement of world-wide conflagration (cf., "Our Lady, Vatican II Disorientation, and the 'Annihilation of Many Nations'"). In the Great Secret of Fatima, Our Lady warned of the "Annihilation of Many Nations" as the ultimate consequence for not heeding Her requests.

It seems that there will be three Roman Pontiffs to reign in the coming "period of peace" for the Church. "Three," for just as Peter was given only the measure of three times of betrayal and denial of his Lord and Master so will he be given three times to undo the unprecedented Papal betrayal and mockery of Our Lord and His Church which started with the 'presidency' of Pope Paul VI who let the grand revolutionary mock-scheme that had prevailed in the Second Vatican Council to profanate the high altar and the sanctuary, to corrupt the priesthood, and to disfigure the face of Christ and of His Church.

Ash Wednesday, Start of the Lenten Season

Do penance!

I say to you: but except you do penance, you shall all likewise perish.

(Lk. 13.5)

"O almighty and everlasting God... Who desirest not the death, but the repentance of sinners....

Who art moved by humiliation, and appeased by satisfaction...

Spare those who are penitent, be merciful to those who implore Thee...

and who accuse themselves, conscious of their sins,

deploring their crimes before Thy divine mercy...

Incline the ear of Thy goodness to our prayers and mercifully pour forth 

upon the heads of Thy servants sprinkled with... ashes the grace of Thy blessing:

that Thou mayest both fill them with the spirit of compunction,

and effectually grant what they have justly prayed for: 

and ordain that what Thou hast granted may be permanently established and remain unchanged.

Through Christ Our Lord. Amen."

(from the traditional prayers for the Blessing of the Ashes)

"Our Lord looked down upon the [Holy] City twice.

Once, from Mount Olivet, and He weeps for it.

And once, from Calvary, and He bleeds for it."

(J. Manton, C.S.S.R.)

Blow ye the trumpet in Sion,

sound an alarm in My holy mountain,

let all the inhabitants of the land tremble:

because the day of the Lord cometh,

because it is nigh at hand.

A day of darkness, and of gloominess,

a day of clouds and whirlwinds...

Before the face thereof a devouring fire,

and behind it a burning flame...

the people shall be in grievous pains: all faces shall be made like a kettle.

Now therefore saith the Lord:

Be converted to Me with all your heart,

in fasting and in weeping and in mourning.

And rend your hearts, and not your garments,

and turn to the Lord your God:

for He is gracious and merciful, patient and rich in mercy,

and ready to repent of the evil....

They... have made them white
in the Blood of the Lamb*
(Apoc. 7.14).

If your sins be as scarlet, they shall be made as white as snow:

and if they be red as crimson, they shall be white as wool

(Joel 2.1,2,3,6,12-13; Isaias 1.18).

The time is, that judgment should begin at the house of God...
The Lord will enter into judgment with the ancients of His people, 
and its princes.... [cf., our post Gloria Olivae]
Ah! I will comfort Myself over My adversaries:
And I will be revenged of My enemies.
And I will turn My hand to thee, and I will clean purge away thy dross,
and I will take away all thy tin...
After this thou shalt be called the city of the just, a faithful city.
Sion shall be redeemed in judgment, [brought] back in justice.
And He shall destroy the wicked, and the sinners together:
and they that have forsaken the Lord, shall be consumed.
(1 Pet. 4.17; Is. 3.14; 1.24-28)

"As I told you, if men do not repent and better themselves, the Father will inflict a terrible chastisement on all humanity. It will be a chastisement greater than the deluge, such as one will never have seen before. Fire will fall from the sky and will wipe out a great part of humanity (cf., "Our Lady, Vatican II Disorientation, the 'Annihilation of Many Nations'"), the 'good' as well as the bad, sparing neither priests nor faithful. The survivors will find themselves so desolate that they will envy the dead...."
(from the Third Message of Our Lady of Akita on 13th Oct. 1973 approved by
the local Ordinary of Niigata, Japan and Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger of the Congregation
for the Doctrine of the Faith).

* The Blood of the Lamb (Apoc. 7.14) can be availed in the Sacrament of Penance** and in the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist (our Traditional Latin Mass). Go to our traditional Catholic Mass Centers (see links on the left-side bar of this site).

** All things... are cleansed with Blood: and without shedding of Blood there is no remission (Heb. 9.22).

The Apparition of the Immaculate Conception in Lourdes, France (1858)

"The Glory of the Olive." Such was the title given to the last Roman Pontiff in the end-times period in "The Prophecies of St. Malachy" (while the last Roman Pontiff before the consummation will have the title "Petrus Romanus"). The Benedictines were traditionally known as the Olivetans, St. Benedict is their glory. "Benedict," the name chosen by Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger after his election to be the successor of Pope John Paul II ("De Labore Solis" in The Prophecies of St. Malachy) to the Chair of Saint Peter.

Our Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI, announced this morning before a Consistory his resignation, effective end of this month, as Bishop of Rome, Successor of Saint Peter, being "no longer suited to an adequate exercise of the Petrine ministry" and this is "due to an advanced age."

What will be the fate of the Holy Father? He wishes to "serve the Holy Church of God... through a life dedicated to prayer."

A life of prayer can not be authentically the Christian life if it were not to lead the soul to the heights of Calvary. A life of prayer must mean the life of Christ... and Him Crucified (2 Cor. 2.20) - a life of conformity to the mind and heart of God: conformity to the will of God, to His loving and saving designs.

In the partial version of the Third Part of the Great Secret of Fatima released by the Vatican in 2000, the Pope, the so-called "Bishop in white" was seen to be leaving "the big city in half ruins" to go "up a steep mountain, at the top of which there was a big Cross of rough hewn-trunks." Before he reached the top of the mountain, he would meet on the way corpses. And "having reached the top of the mountain, on his knees at the foot of the big Cross  he was killed by a group of soldiers who fired bullets and arrows at him...." This corresponds to the vision Pope St. Pius X received while he was giving audience to members of the Franciscan Order in 1909: "What I have seen is terrifying!” he cried out. “Will I be the one, or will it be a successor? What is certain is that the Pope will leave Rome and, in leaving the Vatican, he will have to pass over the dead bodies of his priests!  I have seen one of my successors, of the same name [the name of Pope St. Pius X was Giuseppe in the original Italian: "Joseph" in English - the name of Pope Benedict XVI is Joseph Ratzinger], who was fleeing over the bodies of his brethren. He will take refuge in some hiding place; but after a brief respite, he will die a cruel death...."

Why a cruel death? Fr. Gruner of the Fatima Crusade had an interesting note, in his Fatima Challenge Conference of 2010, on Pope Benedict XVI as that "Bishop in white" referred to in the Vatican's "Third Secret of Fatima": the Holy Father, though he is not the Roman Pontiff to fulfill the Consecration of Russia* to the Immaculate Heart of Our Blessed Mother [it will be his successor], will FINALLY disclose the entire Third Part of the Great Secret of Fatima (cf., "The Great Secret of Fatima") - having read it himself - as originally communicated by the Apocalyptic Woman to Sr. Mary Lucia of the Immaculate Heart, C.D. in 1917, written down in 1943 upon a formal order issued by the Bishop of Leiria, handed over to the Bishop by the Archbishop of Gurza in 1944, finally transmitted to Rome in 1957 by the Papal Nuncio to Lisbon (only to be kept in the safe of Pope Pius XII until his death in 1958), and read in 1959 by Pope John XXIII who refused to disclose it in 1960 (cf., "Our Lady and the New Orientation in Rome") - contrary to what was desired by Her who was the Great Sign in Heaven (Apoc. 12.1); thus, exposing the grand revolutionary mock scheme perpetuated by those certain men... ungodly men... secretly entered in (Jude 1.4) the House of God, up to the very sanctuary of it, to its overthrow and dissolution and heralding the triumph of the Church through the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Our Blessed Mother.

"... By offering to You, Oh, Eternal Father, the Holy Face [of Jesus] disfigured in the Passion.... Avert from us destruction by war and its consequences which loom through the malice of revolutionary men who have risen up to stamp out religion from the face of the earth through false indoctrination [cf., our posts "The Year That Was 1929" and "Upheaval"], and who now stand ready to impose their wicked designs with militaristic force..." - from a traditional Prayer to the Holy Face composed by the "apostle" of the Devotion to the Holy Face (the forgotten Catholic weapon originally destined by Our Lord for the overthrow of Communism), Sr. Mary of St. Peter, C.D. (died 30th March 1848).

The time is, that judgment should begin at the house of God.... 

(1 Pet. 4.17; cf., "The Wine of the Wrath of God")

The Lord will enter into judgment with the ancients of His people, and its princes:

for you have devoured the vineyard....

The Lord will make bald the crown of the head of the daughters of Sion...

And I will turn My hand to thee, and I will clean purge away thy dross,

and I will take away thy tin.

And I will restore... judges as they were before, and... counsellors as of old...

(Is. 3.14,17; 1.25,26)
