You said its only in the last 5 years, so that's not true. And have you ever read the " Needles" magazine series ? stated in 1972 with all the first interviews ? This site is for people who are interested in LEARNING about the apparitions, and answering their questions, all I see you doing is trying to tear them down and discredit them.
In the books published in Spanish about Garabandal, there is no mention of Russia or a schism. I’ve checked by downloading them as PDFs and searching for those words, and they simply don’t appear. There are also very good books and studies on Garabandal in Spain.
Just so it’s clear, what I’m saying isn’t meant to contradict anyone. The Virgin Mary tried to appear in a town relatively close to Garabandal. That town is called Ezquioga (Basque Country). The apparition was a failure because preter-natural events began to occur that ruined Our Lady’s intentions. In Garabandal, she reappeared with Saint Michael, and the seers were often summoned at nite, since there were no other girls who could be possessed by demons at that hour. Garabandal is a very remote village. The Virgin took her away at her whim, and everything went well, although there are signs of contamination, which is why the Church is keeping a card up its sleeve. That’s why it’s important to repeat what the seers have said publicly and not rely on interpretations or gossip without solid conf irmation.
This is a forum page, and as such, a discussion. That’s the nature of forums. Sometimes people disagree. If any questions or comments unsupportive of the subject at hand are unwelcome, then it needs to be changed to an information only thread, with only posts by Glenn and no discussion. Those are the only two options on our forum.
Again I want discussion, what I dont want is incorrect information that confuses others. I CAN BACK UP AND PROVE EVERYTHING I SAY WITH DOCUMENTATION. Once that is provided, I dont expect to rehash the same arguments with people less informed. I have always welcomed discussion and questions here, and will continue to do so.
Can we get back to the purpose of this forum , the providing of correct information and the answering of questions.
Unfortunately, with almost 400 pages and 8,000 posts in this thread, and with new forum members every day who may be uninformed about Garabandal, some rehashing is going to be necessary, or at least a link to the post which already answered an inquiry.
I see this as an opportunity. Clearly there are different records between the hispanophones and anglophones. That being said the absence of evidence on the Spanish side isn't evidence of absence, and the story of the Pope going to Moscow didn't come from nowhere. If it was around in 1999 then it was likely around much earlier than this. If 1999 was yesterday then 1970 is the day before yesterday. There are something like 3000 visitations of Our Lady at Garabandal and I haven't seen a website or book which has them all listed.
People are expecting the efficiency and recording ability of 2025 , back in the remote mountains of Spain in 1961 ! People dont realize the town didn't have electricity ! So lets all T HINK about the town and times it existed in and cease demanding recorded proof of every word spoken, an every event that happened, people were just trying to even understand what was happening. God proved plenty of daily RECORDED miracles, and healings to us to prove its validity. Maybe we just need a drop of faith too.
I have no problem with that. Just incorrect info being post as fact. That;s why I'm here too, to insure accuracy.
In Garabandal, at the time of the apparitions, Spanish was spoken with a strong Cantabrian accent. Many words have endings in "u," "uco," "uca," as well as verb periphrases typical of the area. It would be difficult for a Spaniard from Madrid to follow a fluent conversation. Did Jacques Serre know that dialect? Did he at least speak Spanish? https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cántabro_(lingüística)
Joey Lomangino and Conchita not only used College Professors to publish all our books and magazines (I know this as I was the Director of Public Relations, for the NY Center), but anything we used from his book was also checked for correctness.
A Call to Repentance Mary said : “You should avoid the wrath of the Good God. — I want to tell you to amend your lives. — You should sacrifice yourself more. — Think of the Passion of Jesus.” We provoke the wrath of God upon ourselves by our own rebellion, our own disobedience, our own self-will. All evil consists in trying to follow our own ways, instead of seeking the ways of God. Our ways are very easy to follow; it suffices to allow ourselves to be led. But ours are ways of sin — and not only the sin of the world that so many new books now propose — and they lead us to destruction. On the other hand, the ways of God, how difficult they can be at times! His are the ways of triumph and salvation; but they can only be traveled thru effort and sacrifice. From the book “She Went in Haste to the Mountain” (Book 1) pg.180
Sincerely, Glenn. I have no choice but to believe what you say about Russia and the schism in the Catholic Church. The only reason I'm going to accept those premises is because you say Conchita has reaffirmed them. I hope so for the good of humanity. Your responsibility is very great.
Well, perhaps the true author of the book is Beatrice Caux, and Jacques Serré was a professor at the Sorbonne who understood absolutely no Spanish and couldn't hear anything about Russia. It's quite likely that he plagiarized Albert Webert (author of Garabandal, The Finger of God), who died in 2014 and was buried in Garabandal. Albert was consulted by St. John Paul II about the events that took place in Garabandal. Albert Weber, a German who also didn't speak Spanish fluently, says that Conchita mentioned Russia in a long conversation about her conversations with the Virgin. In other words, we are once again certain that "someone understood what Conchita said," and that person was not J. Serré, but Albert Weber.
No, the purported death of Benedict XVI in 2022 did not mark the beginning of the New Epoch described in Sacred Scripture. That new era is called "the New Heaven and the New Earth" in the Apocalypse. It is described in 1 Corinthians 15 as a change that occurs in "the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet": 51 Behold, I tell you a mystery. We shall all indeed rise again: but we shall not all be changed. 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall rise again incorruptible: and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption; and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 And when this mortal hath put on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: Death is swallowed up in victory. 55 O death, where is thy victory? O death, where is thy sting? In other words, this new era is an era characterized by human immortality. It is not a description of the earthly pilgrimage we are currently on. It is the reward of the elect after persevering overcoming temptation in our present world. It is not a world in which the Church is controlled by the Antichrist as it now is. In this new era, Satan is finally overcome and the deserving few live under the Reign of Mary.
Regarding the "schism of the Church" that announces the imminence of the warning, there are other interviews in which Conchita's brother only says that he knows the event that will trigger all the events, but he never mentions what it will be. What we do know is that the Christian churches, or perhaps the entire Abrahamic religion, will unite into one, and that will be Catholicism.
My Post re the New Epoch is Per the 3-4 Pope GARABANDAL Prophecy ONLY. This is a Garabandal Page. The Direct Quote of Blessed Mother to Conchita! Nothing More! And Per Blessed Mother with the Death of the 4th Pope-from the time She advised Conchita-after the passing of Pope John the XXIII-“4 more Popes and then the New Era/Epoch.” That’s it.
