The Holy Father reigns at a time of such widespread dissent and infiltration by the communists, secularists and Freemasons that the 25 years of his pontificate are in fact an amazing testimony to him. Marian devotion has revived and returned in a way I would not have thought possible after the nadir of the 1970s. Without his guidance and leadership this would not have happened given the bishops in the US, Canada, the UK and Australia.
As the most Venerable Sister Anne Catherine Emmerich saw a Pope in her visions whose head drooped, suffered greatly, and was surrounded by men of mischief, so I believe that Pope is our Holy Father Pope John Paul II, and I praise God for him.
