Yes, your right, it is Mother Teresas opinion, but it sure seems to be proving true. I happen to think it was more than just an opinion.

I know you will say I'm whacky but being catholic we believe we have a little more insight into these opinions. I'll give you an example or two. Just about every catholic knows that Our Lady appeared in Fatima in the early 20th century. When she did she foretold future events which came to pass, namely that the first world war would end and that if mankind did not change, Russia would become a great power and spread communism around the world. She also said a second world war would start and it would be worse than the first. Both things happened. Our Lady also said that if mankind didnt change there would be an "annihilation of nations." I dont think we have changed much, in fact I think we have gotten worse. I'm praying that we dont have an annihilation.

There have been numerous other prophetic statements by catholic saints throughout history. I've got a couple books containing same.

I dont expect you to believe it. I dont even mind being called a kook. But I believe it.

Some of the catholics here are aware that Sr. Faustina was recently canonized. The Church believes, and many of us believe, that Jesus and Mary had both appeared to this nun during the course of her life. She left a diary of the events detailing what Jesus and Mary told her. One of the things Jesus related to her was that the devotion which spread worldwide to the Divine Mercy was that this devotion would be mankinds last hope before His second coming, this was in the 1930's.

I'd say that many catholics here would also be able to speak of the appearance of Our Lady at Akita, Japan, where Our Ladys statue cried tears, and tears of blood and told about the coming chastisment because of mans sinfulness, this was in the 1970's.

I'm sure most non-catholics will think all of this fairy tales and start passing out the reynolds wrap for tinfoil wear but I for one believe it.

I believe Mother Teresa was a living saint, a prophet, like the prophets of the Old Testament, the ones the Jews didnt want to listen to.

It is one thing for a sect to believe what it wants to ; however , to demand that they, and only they have the " truth " is NOT what this country stands for. In this time of war, with your fellow FREEPERS havig recently lost loved ones and friend, it only piurs salt into raw, bleedig, open wounds, saying that GOD sent the attackers or allowed them to attack because we , as a nation are sinful. Not every religon believes that sort of thing. Not every Christian sect believes that either.

I could write several threads worth of absurdities previously believed in and horrors committed by Popes, and Roman Catholics. I shan't do that. Just don't expect people to put up with having others try to shove their beliefs down their throats.

I know something about visions, sitngs, and supposed weeping Madonas. Many of the recent ( those that I remember reading about or see on T.V. reports ) weeping Marys and and sitings, have been poo pooed by the Vatican. I know that the Fatima prophecies have been kept secret, and then some of them proclaimed TRUE after the fact.

This is NOT the timw, nor place for proslestizing . We are a pluralistic society and I, for one, am getting VERY offended by all of the kooks claiming to have the ONLY wod on this. How would you like it if some extreme Islamics got on here telling you their views, and declaring that they were the ONLY ones who were rght ? Think about that, before you , or anyone else decide to post again.

I'll say it again. ABORTIONS AND INFANTICIDES HAVE BEEN DONE FROM TIME IMMEMORIAL. GOD HAS NOT NUKED ANY COUNTRIES BECAUSE OF THAT EVER.

GOD would have spared Sodom, if ten good men could have been found there. Are we to now believe that there aren't ten good men in all of the USA , so GOD has punished thousands of people , whether they were good or not ? Then why was Pearl Harbor bombed ? Abortion wasn't legal then. Was abortion legal in Japan, in the '40's ? They are the ONLY country that has ever been nuked.
