The work of the devil will infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, bishops against bishops.It just struck me that "they" (the psuedo-authorities --- not Cardinal Sarah, of course) have just ripped out the magnificent altar at one of Christendom's most ancient churches, the Roman Basilica Santa Maria ad Martyres, and replaced it with the liturgical equivalent of a picnic table, bolted to the floor to make it "permanent."The priests who venerate me will be scorned and opposed by their confreres churches and altars sacked.
The Church will be full of those who accept compromises and the demon will press many priests and consecrated souls to leave the service of the Lord.
The demon will be especially implacable against souls consecrated to God (Message of Oct 13, 1973).
They can't keep their hands off the altars.
In a way, it's a little thing in the midst of much larger wreckovations.
But it's emblematic of how much work will have to be done after Francis is gone, to restore recognizable Catholic norms.
And Our Lady of Akita prophesied that they'd go after the altars!
Obvious to many, I know, but it just hit me.
Back in the 60s, many of us objected to the altar being turned around but we were shouted down. Some of us knew a slippery slope when we saw it.
Thanks for your post.
Very enlightening!
