1. Pope Benedict during a Christmas audience described the irreversible decline of civilisation.
Pope Paul VI noticed the entrance of the devil into the Catholic Church. Having done so, Satan would not simply be taking a leisure walk at St. Peter’s Basilica. He will attempt to sit at the driver’s seat. Take control of the Church and drive it to destruction. After all he is Satan and we do not expect him to do less than that.
How could he do that? He cannot sit in the chair of St. Peter no matter how much he disguises himself. He can only enter into the person of a willing bishop who will pretend to be a Pope since he cannot control a real Pope. Exactly what he did when he entered Judas to sell Christ. Judas, in fact, is the pre-figuring of this attempt to enter, not into the body but into the soul of a bishop to control the Church and destroy it.
After the devil entered Judas, Judas could no longer do what he wanted. He could only do what Satan dictated him to do. Judas could not repent even in the presence of Christ and the apostles. The same thing would happen to a Pope into whom Satan would spiritually enter into. He will drive the Catholic Church to destruction according to the dictates of Lucifer and nobody will be able to do anything about it. So rightly had Pope Benedict described this as an irreversible decline. Nobody can stop it.
Pope Benedict knew that this was the ultimate goal of Satan. Except God was preventing Satan from being able to do it because it was not yet the time. But God had given the Church hints how this was going to occurs shown already many times in history……….to prepare the Church for it.
So many good Catholics in good standing had been waiting for this prophesied event. Sts. Augustine and Benedict were waiting for it. Sts. Francis of Assisi and Bonaventure were waiting for it. St. Grignion de Montfort and Blessed John Newman were waiting for it. But it was Pope Benedict, while studying St. Bonaventure and St. Thomas of Aquinas very assiduouusly studied it because he suspected it would occur during his time. God, in His Divine Providence made it occur in the era of one who knew about and was expecting it…….the Papacy of Pope Benedict.
No one will understand the Papacy of Pope Benedict XVI without putting it in this perspective.
He emphasised that this decline cannot be stopped; because there is nothing in this world that can be used to stop this inevitable decline towards total destruction. Of course, God can stop it. But He won’t because it is His own chastising power that is causing this irreversible decline. The world is declining towards that direction because it has lost its reason for its existence; the world had lost its Faith, Hope and Charity.
2. For God or against God.
The only reason why God was sustaining the world in existence is because of the Faith, Hope and Charity of the Catholic Church. And when there is no Faith, Hope and Charity, as we saw in the Old
Testament, He destroyed nations. Sort of, why waste the space for them.
3. The universal test.
Aversio a Deo, conversio ad creaturam. God’s Will is that we focus all our minds and hearts towards Him and His Will. That takes a lot of efforts; this is based on His command, ‘to love God with all your heart, all your mind and all your strength. That really leaves nothing for anything else.
How to destroy a soul; here is a manual for idiots just like a lot of books addressed to this group. Well, it’s so easy an idiot does not have to study it. It is all natural. Be natural and you can destroy your soul and everyone else’s soul around you. What do you have to do? Remove the focus of your mind and heart from
God and focus them on the things of the world; i.e. the world of creatures.
During the Lenten season, we learned that the world of creatures belongs to Satan. He said so and for once we can believe him. Creatures do not belong to him but God had allowed him to use it to test men. And if the mind and will are removed from God and directed towards creatures, then that is sin and can bring us to hell. So what is the idiot’s formula on how to lead souls to hell? Distract the mind and heart away from God and direct it towards creatures and that is it. He is in sin and if he dies in that state he goes straight to hell.
So what do you have to do to destroy man’s soul. You do not have to distract his mind from God. Just fill up his senses, his eyes, ears, smell, taste, feelings, etc with sensible things pleasant to the senses and passions………and the mind will automatically turn away from God; is then directed towards creatures and that soul is in the state of sin. Now, if every year you find new things to distract the senses so as to occupy the mind and will with new sensations and novelties, that mind and will shall never ever focus itself on God.
4. So there we have remove the mind and will away from God.
This is done simply by bombarding the senses with worldly stimuli; like movies, nice food, cell phones, magazines, books……anything that can be perceived by the senses. When the mind and will are focused away from God, that soul is lost. It will take great efforts to return to God because you will need graces which God does not easily grant.
The devil cannot directly influence the mind and will. His influence is indirect in the form of external images for the senses. And Holywood is the greatest destroyer of souls because it produces all the stimuli that eventually causes the mind and will to sin. This is Satan’s general strategy. He uses this for all.
5. Who will be the first one to fall.
The pagan world will first to fall because they do not have theology or at least philosophy to support their thinking and free will. They will naturally be in accord to this natural tendency to enjoy pleasing the senses with no sense of morality to guide them.
The Protestants will be able to control themselves slightly because of their knowledge of morality. The same thing can be said for the orthodox Church. The Catholics, because they have both Divine Revelation and the Fathers should really be able to control all emotions and passions, direct they mind to the things of heaven and chose those things that lead to eternal life with their free will……with no difficulty at all,
6. The stimuli are over powering. Out of pure strength or tidal wave, the stimuli from sciences, and the sciences like tourisms, exotic beaches and hide outs, etc.,etc. man fell into the trap of tourism…. from the common tourisms for graduation rewards, our Catholic schools are in trouble.
7. Continuous advanced robotics and technology continues to break frontiers of the imagination that attracts the intellect……thus continuing to dethrone God from His throne. When God is completely dethroned, then like Judas, he becomes open to spiritual possession; the kind of possession where Satan takes completely control over the person, thus exorcism becomes impossible.
While this cannot happen to a true Pope, it can happen to an anti-pope. In fact the prophesy describes a bishop spiritually possessed by Lucifer to the point that Satan controls the complete person. The person cannot control anything because he had surrendered his intellect and free will to the devils. This is not possible with a true Pope but it is possible with an anti-pope.
8. The present situation.
The majority of people had sold their souls to the devil; or as we would describe what happened to most souls, they had really sold their souls to the devil without realising kit. Judas did not even noticed it when Satan entered into him.
Due to the total conversion of majority of bishops and priests towards ‘creatures’ or worldly matters there will be total aversion towards God. A state where repentance and conversion is nearly impossible. If this include the Pope then what we have is a grand chastisement from God. Here God uses everything, all the devils, and all the angels to chastise men.
The aversion towards God and the conversion towards creatures will be the work of the devil, while the natural calamities will the work of the angels. Both under God’s orders will chastise men for his infidelity. God, also, will have His part by withdrawing the power to forgive sins and confect the Eucharist; so there will be no Mass and no absolution for confession.
Add to this the lying wonders God will allow the devil to perform; like fake miracles to be performed by Popes under his influence. Which St. Thomas wrote are really performed by devils using illusions.
9. What do we have here?
We have a civilization that is spiritually possessed by Satan. Abortion, Euthanasia, terrorism, wars, impossing one’s own belief on others by force, destruction of the family, the lost of the sense of sin, the idea that God is dead, the complete lost of the fear of God……all of these are signs of spiritual possession of the soul akin to what happened to Judas. In this case exorcism is impossible.
For those who are serious is saving their souls stronger medicine is needed like the monasticism of St. John Climacus. Which nobody will buy making salvation during this times impossible for most.
The four visible marks of the true Church is nowhere to be found; neither in parishes nor in dioceses, neither in ecclesial communities nor in the Vatican, neither in priests nor in family members.
So we have come to a point in history that man has lost the reason for his existence because we cannot find 10 men who will stand and beg that God spare the world. This is the final and grand chastisement from which there is no backing out……the irreversible decline of civilisation no one can stop because it is God, Himself, who has instigated its decline.
