Polycarp originally posted this on FR in June, but it can't hurt to post again for those who missed it -- it's way too worth reading. And I'll ping a few of those who might not have seen it.

Here's a link to the earlier posting for those who would like to see those comments: Bishops Betraying the Catholic Church.

When I was 18, I asked a priest about the anti-christ, because some kids were talking about the book of Revelations. This was Costa Mesa, CA, in 1969.
The priest patted me on the head and told me not to worry about it.
Needless to say, I left the Catholic church and became involved with the 'Jesus Movement'.
All of this to say, the problem with the Catholic Church is and always has been, the shelving of the Bible.

"An invisible war is being fought for the life of the Catholic Church in the United States – and it is a fight to the death. The war is more than a century old now, and this is a key engagement. The war is not about pedophilia or homosexuality, as repugnant as those two symptoms are. It is about an attempted coup d'état within the Catholic Church – one of only two global institutions on this planet. Whoever gets the Keys of St. Peter walks off with the power to change the world – or so the betrayers think. I'll tell you why."

This is the KEY statement of the article. Whatever one thinks of a "conspiracy," the simple fact remains that there are prelates in the U.S. Church, supported by counterparts in the Vatican, who are determined to wrest the Catholic Church in America from the hands of Rome. The big question is: What can WE do to prevent it?

By the mid 1960s, the Rockefeller family had formed an alliance with Fr. Theodore Hesburgh of Notre Dame University and sought an audience with Pope Paul VI in order to "advise" the pope to permit birth control. The Rockefeller interests were promoting population control.

Amazing, isn't it, how those Rockefellers keep popping up. Notre Dame, the UN, Congress.

Thanks for the repost. I missed it before. It is a great article.

But the battle has been lost. The new Los Angeles cathedral is the monument to their victory. The Church as a prison; as a mere adjunct to the welfare/police state....

"Among the strangest things that I saw, were long processions of bishops. Their thoughts and utterances were made known to me through images issuing from their mouths. Their faults towards religion were shown by external deformities. A few had only a body, with a dark cloud of fog instead of a head. Others had only a head, their bodies and hearts were like thick vapors. Some were lame; others were paralytics; others were asleep or staggering.

"I saw what I believe to be nearly all the bishops of the world, but only a small number were perfectly sound. I also saw the Holy Father-God fearing and prayerful. Nothing left to be desired in his appearance, but he was weakened by old age and by much suffering. His head was lolling from side to side, and it dropped to his chest as if he were falling asleep. He often fainted and seemed to be dying. But when he was praying, he was often comforted by apparitions from Heaven. Then, his head was erect, but as soon as it dropped again onto his chest, I saw a number of people looking quickly right and left, that is, in the direction of the world.

"Then I saw that everything pertaining to Protestantism was gradually gaining the upper hand, and the Catholic religion fell into complete decadence. Most priests were lured by the glittering but false knowledge of young school-teachers, and they all contributed to the work of destruction.

"In those days, Faith will fall very low, and it will be preserved in some places only, in a few cottages and in a few families which God has protected from disasters and wars."

Vision of Venerable Anne Catherine Emmerich June 1, 1821

I like this one too:

I saw that many pastors allowed themselves to be taken up with the ideas that were dangerous to the Church. They were building a great, strange, and extravagant Church. Everyone was to be admitted in it in order to be united and have equal rights: Evangelicals, Catholics, sects of every description. Such was to be the new Church....But God had other designs."

Vision of Venerable Anne Catherine Emmerich April 22, 1823

Catholic dissidents were swept up into the rebellion. They confidently talk of "structural change," meaning to shove over the Catholic Church and build a "democratic" church where "power is shared" and doctrine is determined by "consensus" rather than by scripture and Jesus' teachings.

This does not seem to describe the dissidents who frequent FR, or does it?

This article is right on. I think the modernists, globalists, and libertines are also worried because orthodox, traditional, and conservative forces within the Church have made significant gains in the past several years, while the liberals are dying off with few offspring. I'll bet many of them see the next papal election as a "now or never" proposition in terms of them taking over the reigns of power within the Vatican.

Pray unceasingly for NEVER.
