Unfortunately I find her column about the resignation of BXVI (even if otherwise she may have lost the plot) somewhat convincing.
I have just read the Barnhardt column and find it even more convincing than you do, Brian K. She has elucidated and provided many examples. She set the stage by quoting prophecies, and I believe that these prophecies are being fulfilled now. Wow. Heavy.
Vatican archbishop: I do not agree with the title ‘Pope Emeritus’ In an interview with the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Benedict XVI said he wanted simply to be known as “Father Benedict” after stepping down as Pope but felt too weak and tired to push the decision through. Last year, Bishop Giuseppe Sciacca, Secretary of the Apostolic Signatura, a close confidant of the former pope, also said he did not agree with the title. “The uniqueness of the Petrine succession does not allow within it any further distinction or duplication of offices, albeit no longer free in exercise,” he said in an interview with La Stampa. Despite his reservations over the title, however, Archbishop Fisichella said Benedict XVI’s decision opened a “new horizon” for the papacy, and could lead to future popes doing the same. http://www.catholicherald.co.uk/new...-i-do-not-agree-with-the-title-pope-emeritus/
View attachment 6390 I just surfed around and found this photo. I know very little about Masonic handshakes. However, there are numerous descriptions online and some very shocking photos of famous people using the Masonic handshake. From what I understand, one type of Masonic handshake is where the shaker covers the knuckle of the person whose hand is being shaken with his own knuckle. Can you see that? This may be a very innocent gesture, and not Masonic. You know, sometimes people just grab your hand and shake it spontaneously and there is nothing sinister or dark about it. But this is a little creepy to me.
I agree. It simply is not up to the laity to declare Pope Francis an antipope. That turns us into our own anti-pope of sorts. Ann does have many fine qualities. But she is still just Ann Barnhardt, not Pope Barnhardt.
Richard, if it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, well, maybe it is a duck. I agree that we are not supposed to shout from the rooftops and raise a ruckus, but Ann B politely told us how she felt and why. I myself think that perhaps Pope F is an antipope, won't be the first time the Church has had one, but it is not up to me to change that. Or even to publicly declare it under my own name....I would be uncomfortable doing that. But God gave me a brain to use, and the gifts of the Holy Spirit in my Confirmation, and I still smell a rat here. I am becoming aware that perhaps Francis might be an antipope. And it might be one of those "hindsight is 20-20" things where we find out later that Ann B was right. We might not know it now. OR, we might find out later that he was not an antipope. But there are murky circumstances surrounding the resignation of Benedict, and murky circumstances surrounding this Pope. I had a friend years ago, when things were not clear, he would say: Pray that the truth will come out and people will be helped." I think we need to do that now.
I used to visit her site, but deleted my link when she, as you say, took on her role of being her own anti-pope. Much of her language was entirely inappropriate. This language might be acceptable if her case was absolutely and irrefutibly proven, but who does she think she is to assume that kind of authority upon herself? I wonder how much further down the ecclesial rabbit-hole are we going to go if we are casting the gravest aspersions upon popes for the crime of a limp handshake? If one googles masonic handshakes, one might come to the conclusion that the only way to avoid accusations of freemasonry from one's handshaking would be to amputate one's thumb. It is a big step from a bad pope to an anti-pope. Pope Francis, for all his faults, is still my Pope and I continue to pray for him because he needs all the prayers he can get.
I pray for Pope Francis as well, but the prefix "anti" means against, and look at how many statements he has made and actions he has undertaken which are against the Magisterium. I have respect for you, DeGaulle, and I cannot determine yet if PF is an antipope, nor would I shout it from the rooftops if he were. This might be something we learn only in hindsight, as I said before, or when we get to Heaven. I am just so stomach-churningly sick of the destruction that the Masonic infiltrators have brought about in my beloved Church, aren't you? Call a spade a spade. Tell the truth and shame the devil. I am afraid to get too far "out there". I thin k we are all being very cautious. And that is good. But there is a plethora of evidence, and a lot of suspicion. As for me, I just pray and go on about my daily duties and seek my salvation within my Church, which is still there. And let us not forget the prophecies within our Church which have foretold something very much like this.
I don't believe Pope Francis is an antipope. I think this is the wrong approach to take, as it is apparent he was validly elected. He is simply a bad pope who has no problem attacking doctrines and embracing cardinals, bishops and priests who have favor towards sodomy and co-habitation. He is putting them in the highest offices in the Church and in position for the next election of pope. These are the facts we know with certainty. This we must pray for his wake-up call so he can see what he is doing is in opposition to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Fatima above has expressed it better than I can. Of course, all the wickedness you describe has been ongoing for decades. Pope St Pius X warned of it in his time, but the corruption has grown and become bolder. The silver lining is that the enemy is more visible and we can count on his arrogance to lead him to make ultimately self-defeating mistakes. I just think for our own part that we should avoid making ultimate judgements for which we lack full knowledge and the authority to do so. Pope Francis may well be a very wicked pope, but still be valid. Naturally, we are cautious. We all rightfully have the utmost respect for the position of the pope. Yet, we know the Truth as it has been given to us from Christ Himself, from the Apostles and Evangelists and from the Fathers. If the man who occupies the seat of Peter contradicts this Truth, whatever the reasons, we can, indeed must, draw our own conclusions in the context of the Truth. The notion that our pope might be so disreputable is extremely uncomfortable, but perhaps it is a sign of panic and evasion to dismiss such a pope as ungenuine and an antipope? Is it more difficult to accept the awful truth that even one so nobly and legitimately honoured could be so dishonourable? Yet, given all mankind's sharing of the consequences of Original Sin, how can such a woeful event be ruled out? Peter, tragically, can commit the sins of Judas.
Just came across this very prophetic speech by Pius XII, 20 February 1949, on occasion of the arrest of Cardinal MIndszenty - it is like he is describing our times: "Do you want a Church that remains silent when She should speak; that diminishes the law of God where she is called to proclaim it loudly, wanting to accommodate it to the will of man? Do you want a Church that departs from the unshakable foundations upon which Christ founded Her, taking the easy way of adapting Herself to the opinion of the day; a Church that is a prey to current trends; a Church that does not condemn the suppression of conscience and does not stand up for the just liberty of the people; a Church that locks Herself up within the four walls of Her temple in unseemly sycophancy, forgetting the divine mission received from Christ: 'Go out the crossroads and preach the people'? Beloved sons and daughters! Spiritual heirs of numberless confessors and martyrs! Is this the Church you venerate and love? Would you recognize in such a Church the features of your Mother? Would you be able to imagine a Successor of St. Peter submitting to such demands?"
Wow. Pope Pius XIi was prophetic about many things. In the midst of all the papal canonizing I always wondered why he was left out. He stood for truth and he suppressed the modernist heresy. He worked behind the scenes to save Jews. The scurrilous rumors of "Hitler's Pope " were floated by the KGB and shown to be false later but the media would never exonerate him. Curious. Think I will ask for his intercession for the Church.
Right when we think that the course of the world has been chiseled in stone, a good priest pulls us back onto the path of hope.
http://www.breitbart.com/jerusalem/...rea-prepping-emp-warfare-aimed-u-s-homefront/ EXCLUSIVE – Congressional Expert: North Korea Prepping EMP Catastrophe Aimed At U.S. Homefront AP/Wong Maye-E by Aaron Klein8 May 20175671 TEL AVIV – While the international community and news media focus on North Korean missile tests and the country’s nuclear program, one expert warned on Sunday that North Korea may be secretly assembling the capability to take out significant parts of the U.S. homeland via an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack. Dr. Peter Vincent Pry is executive director of the Task Force on National and Homeland Security and is the chief of staff of the Congressional EMP Commission. online. Click below to listen to the entire interview: Pry was referring to the KMS 3-2 and KMS-4 earth observation satellites launched by North Korea in April 2012 and February 2016 respectively. He warned: “They are positioning themselves as sort of a nuclear missile age, cyberage version of the battleship diplomacy in my view. So that they can always have one of them (satellites) very close to being over the United States or over the United States. “Then if a crisis comes up and if we decide to attack North Korea, Kim Jong Un can threaten our president and say, ‘Well, don’t do that because we are going to burn your whole country down.’ Which is basically what he said. I mean, he has made threats about turning the United States into ashes and he connected the satellite program to this in public statements to deter us from attacking.” “If you wanted to win a New Korean war,” added Pry, “one of the things you would certainly consider doing is taking out the United States homeland itself.” Pry surmised the North Koreans may be taking the idea from a Soviet plan during the Cold War to attack the U.S. with an EMP as part of a larger surprise assault aimed at crippling the U.S. military. “During the Cold War, the Russians had a secret weapon they called a fractional orbital bombardment system,” he explained. “And the idea was to do a surprise EMP attack against the United States by disguising a warhead as a satellite. Because a satellite trajectory is different from an ICBM trajectory that is aiming to go into a city. You know, for accuracy on an ICBM you launch it on a lower energy, 45-degree angle that follows a classic ballistic trajectory. Like a rifle. To land your missile on a city.” Pry continued of the original Russian plan: But if you put a satellite in orbit it follows a different trajectory. It doesn’t have accuracy but it puts the satellite up there so that it stays in permanent orbit so it looks different in terms of the trajectory. And guys watching their radar screens tend not to get alarmed when they see a missile being launched on that satellite trajectory. Because they assume it is for peaceful purposes. … So, the idea was to put a nuclear weapon on a satellite. Launch it on a satellite trajectory toward the south so it is also flying away from the United States. Orbit it over the South Pole and come up on the other side of the earth so that it approaches us from the south. Because we didn’t during the Cold War and even today we still don’t have ballistic missile early radar warnings looking south. We don’t have any national missile defenses to the south. We are blind and defenseless to the south. We can’t see anything coming from that direction. Then when this gets over the United States you light it off so that it does an EMP attack. Pry stated that in the Soviet plan, “They were mainly interested in paralyzing our strategic forces, our strategic command and control and communications so that we couldn’t talk to our forces. Maybe take out some of the forces themselves. And that would give them time to then launch their mass attack across the North Pole to blow up our ICBMs. So, kill them once with the EMP. Kill them twice by blasting our bases by using their long-range missiles. That was the Russian plan. But the cutting edge of the plan was this surprise EMP attack.” North Korea, by contrast, “doesn’t have enough missiles or sophisticated missiles to blow up our missile bases and bomber bases. What they seem to be doing with the satellites is the EMP part of the Soviet plan.” “I think what they are mainly going for is the unhardened electric grid,” Pry surmised. “Transportation, communications, all of the other civilian critical infrastructure that we depend upon to keep our population alive.” Pry spotlighted recent North Korean nuclear and missile tests minimized by the news media for reported failures. When viewed through the lens of potential preparations for an EMP attack, Pry warned, the tests were actually successes. Pry wrote about some of those tests in a Newsmax piece last week: I am looking at an unclassified U.S. Government chart that shows a 10-kiloton warhead (the power of the Hiroshima A-Bomb) detonated at an altitude of 70 kilometers will generate an EMP field inflicting upset and damage on unprotected electronics. … On April 30, South Korean officials told The Korea Times and YTN TV that North Korea’s test of a medium-range missile on April 29 was not a failure, as widely reported in the world press, because it was deliberately detonated at 72 kilometers altitude. 72 kilometers is the optimum burst height for a 10-Kt warhead making an EMP attack. … According to South Korean officials, “It’s believed the explosion was a test to develop a nuclear weapon different from existing ones.” Japan’s Tetsuro Kosaka writes in Nikkei, “Pyongyang could be saying, ‘We could launch an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack if things get really ugly.'” “The April 29 missile launch looks suspiciously like practice for an EMP attack,” Pry wrote. “The missile was fired on a lofted trajectory, to maximize, not range, but climbing to high-altitude as quickly as possible, where it was successfully fused and detonated — testing everything but an actual nuclear warhead.” This weekend, an editorial published in the North Korean state-run media agency KNCA threatened the White House would be “reduced to ashes.” The same news agency warned last week that “any military provocation against the DPRK will precisely mean a total war which will lead to the final doom of the US.” DPRK stands for the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, or North Korea.
