I feel more and more convinced, internally, that the problematic synod to occur before the warning is the "Synod of the Italian Church" being pushed by Fr. Spadaro: https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/...ide-begin-the-race-for-the-next-conclave-4095 http://www.asianews.it/news-en/Pope...-be-done-without-going-to-the-base-47060.html https://cruxnow.com/news-analysis/2...-may-be-next-to-see-if-popes-gamble-pays-off/ http://www.osservatoreromano.va/it/news/uno-stile-sinodale-litalia (https://translate.google.com/transl...eromano.va/it/news/uno-stile-sinodale-litalia) As of yet no such Italian synod has been announced but this has kept coming up all throughout this year and the Holy Father is very much for it.
Sandro Magister's take on this: http://magister.blogautore.espresso...ll-take-his-name-from-sant’egidio/?refresh_ce He also lists the likely candidates to succeed Pope Francis. Believe it or not, it looks like Cardinal Tagle isn't the worst of them.
With the latest info on the two year "synodal" process in Germany, I think it's the Germans and not the Italians... Apparently everything is open to discussion the next two years by their synodal team and most of looks bad... really bad. It will be completed in 2022.
Hmmm, 2022. The year theologian Daniel Oconnor predicted the rise of the Antichrist, mid 2022. Its getting more interesting all the time.
the Pope called another synod for 2022 whose theme has not been defined https://www.vaticannews.va/en/vatic...ynod-secretariat-2022-pope-francis-theme.html
Honestly, how much dialogue do we really need? Especially since it ends up being speculation and ambiguity and a big dog and pony show. I am resolving to go to adoration as much as possible this year and increase my decades of the rosary more each day. Prayer will probably be the only thing that gives me peace because the hierarchy is making me ill.
Knowing this, it is worth bumping a post that gives some perspective on the year 2022. Here is is........... I really like the following article by theologian and author Daniel Oconnor. What especially drew me to this time table was St. John Bosco's prophecy, which I have known for years, but never put it into a time frame as Daniel has done using the known moon cycle. St. Bosco suggests the era of peace will arrive in "the month of flowers" (May) when there will come two full moons. I did a little research and the next time after 2026 that this takes place again is 2045. No chance in my mind the world can go on at the speed of decent today and last another 25 years. Following is part of his article: Will the Warning Occur in 2022 and the Triumph in 2026? Now, none of this current crisis is even a little bit surprising to those who have been taking trustworthy private revelation seriously. And by trustworthy I mean trustworthy; I do not mean approved — all approved private revelation is trustworthy, but not all trustworthy private revelation is already fully approved (and every now approved private revelation was once unapproved, and only became approved due to courageous faithful willing to take it seriously despite its lack of approval). The problem is, incredibly few Catholics (including the “orthodox” ones) take trustworthy private revelation seriously: they’ve been told by career lay apologists, for decades now, that private revelation doesn’t matter; unless perhaps it’s already fully Vatican approved, in which case it matters perhaps a little bit, but still shouldn’t be taken too seriously. Indeed, what is transpiring now is scarcely a foreshock of what is soon coming — those who follow trustworthy private revelation know that, too. Neither this, nor what is soon to come is a mystery to them. Nor is what must be done a mystery to them (for a long time now, what must be done has been the homepage of this site for years now — www.dsdoconnor.com) So, instead of more armchair commentary pointing out what everyone already knows, allow me to instead present you with some speculation wherein I consider what might constitute some of the details of what we do not yet know. Introductory Note on Speculation This post is pure speculation — educated speculation, I suppose — but speculation nevertheless. I certainly do not present my own prophecy here (I’ve never received so much as a locution from God, much less any apparition or prophecy), nor even do I label this a prediction, for even that would imply a degree of confidence that I do not necessarily have in these dates. I merely present these findings as they are, and leave it to you to decide what to make of them. Many are, no doubt, understandably fed up with speculation. Considering how many expected Divine Intervention after or during the Year of Mercy, and/or during the Centennial of Fatima (/supposed end of a 100-year-reign of Satan), only to have events by and large continue as they long have, this post will likely inspire only the rolling of eyes in many. Now above all, you must know yourself. And if you are one to be distracted from what is good and holy by speculation, then being rid of it is the right thing for you to do, and you should stop reading this post now. But if — like myself and like many others — a healthy dose of speculation, rather than distracting you, instead truly inspires you to be more zealous for what is good and true (your own sanctification and the evangelization of the world), then it would be absurd to cast it aside as a “distraction.” What, pray tell, is such healthy speculation a distraction from? Worldly interests that receive no benefit from the consideration that their time is nearing an end? Indeed; let us hope it is a distraction from these. In fact, the only purpose of speculation is to inspire a more vigorous pursuit of what we already know we ought to do. For we are all weak beings, incapable of doing well merely what the intellect dictates if we do not have more to move us forward. This is where inspiration comes in; so I present what follows in the spirit of hoping to provide some. THE CONVERGENCE Several powerful prophetic indications seem to be converging on these dates. They are: The 2022 Collision of Two Stars The Two-Thousandth Anniversary of Redemption The Prophecy of St. John Bosco 1. The 2022 Collision of Two Stars Soon, the first stellar collision visible to the naked eye will be seen on earth. When the story broke at the beginning of last year, I was far from alone in immediately thinking of the Warning (or “Illumination of Conscience”) prophesied at Garabandal (See, for example, Ted Flynn’s article here). The seer, Conchita, specifically said, decades ago, that “The Warning would be like two stars colliding.” For those new to this prophecy of a coming “Warning,” I recommend the works of Mark Mallett. You could start here, and here As far as the Warning itself and this Collision itself is concerned, I simply recommend reading the links presented above. But I have one more observation to add. More recently, it occurred to me that this would be extremely prophetically meaningful and symbolically profound if, although we are only going to be able to see (i.e. witness the full effects of) the stellar collision in 2022, it nevertheless occurred 2000 years ago, at the time of Our Lord’s Death and Resurrection. For indeed, everything we observe when we gaze upon the stars at night actually occurred many, many years ago, and the light of these events — due to their great distance from us — only reaches us long after their occurrence. The symbolism obvious: the Illumination of Conscience (“The Warning”) will be the single greatest act of mercy in the history of creation. It will be as if what happened 2,000 years ago on the Cross came hurtling at us at light speed and whalloped the whole world with unprecedented grace. But how are we supposed to know when this star collision actually happened? Simple: everything we see happening in the night sky actually happened the same number of years ago as the objects themselves are distant from us, as measured in light years. However many light years away this binary star system is from us will also tell us how many years ago the collision (which we will soon see) actually happened. The result of this simple inquiry? They estimate that the collision happened approximately 1,843 years ago. “Bummer,” you might be thinking, “the prophetic significance is lost.” Far from it, though! 1,843 years is a mere 157 years off. If this event truly did occur 2,000 years ago, then even a miniscule 8% error in the estimation would yield the 1,843 figure. The “Gaia” mission currently underway only hopes to be able to give 10% accuracy for these distances — and this is still a work in progress. Suffice it to say, it is well within the accuracy of this stellar measurement to assert that, indeed, this collision may well have happened at the precise moment Jesus died on the Cross. Does this prove anything with certainty? Of course not. Am I saying this means that the Warning must indeed occur the moment we see this collision? Of course not. All I’m saying is — why not be spiritually prepared in case it does? Now the prophetic consensus seems to hold that the world will — in the coming years — completely fall apart. A sort of “natural” chastisement; a consequence of our sins. Of course, one doesn’t need prophecy to acknowledge this; one only needs an ounce of honesty to realize what is soon coming, considering that diabolical nature of so much of the modern world. When this natural chastisement is at its worst (which will probably take another few years), God sends the Warning. After the warning, all the people of the world will be able to freely and clearly choose a side. The line in the sand will be drawn. The time of mercy is over. The Antichrist enters the scene to gather into himself all those who choose the dark side. Then, his three and a half year reign, spoken of in the Book of Revelation, follows — itself ended by the Three Days of Darkness (a Divine Chastisement sent directly from Heaven) spoken of in many prophecies. more to follow:
Year 2022 - 2026 Continued........... And where does that bring us? To 2026 2. The Two-Thousandth Anniversary of Redemption As I have quoted many times, Jesus revealed to the Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta: Now this “Third Renewal” is nothing other than the Coming of the Kingdom of the Divine Will on Earth — so that it may reign here just as it reigns in heaven — in total fulfillment of the Fiat Voluntas Tua of the Our Father prayer. Now the prophetic consensus seems to hold that the world will — in the coming years — completely fall apart. A sort of “natural” chastisement; a consequence of our sins. Of course, one doesn’t need prophecy to acknowledge this; one only needs an ounce of honesty to realize what is soon coming, considering that diabolical nature of so much of the modern world. When this natural chastisement is at its worst (which will probably take another few years), God sends the Warning. After the warning, all the people of the world will be able to freely and clearly choose a side. The line in the sand will be drawn. The time of mercy is over. The Antichrist enters the scene to gather into himself all those who choose the dark side. Then, his three and a half year reign, spoken of in the Book of Revelation, follows — itself ended by the Three Days of Darkness (a Divine Chastisement sent directly from Heaven) spoken of in many prophecies. In a word: the Era of Peace. I have spoken about this in some detail here . For this I again recommend Mark Mallett’s blog. Here, too, you might think again “bummer! We’ve got to wait until 2033 for the 2,000th anniversary of Redemption.” Well, again — not so fast. It is not mere modern revisionist scholarship that claims that our calendar is likely off a few years, and Jesus was likely born several years before 0 A.D. — no less authority than Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich herself, one of the greatest mystics and visionaries in Church History, was shown precisely this. (Besides; even a broken clock is right twice a day — occasionally even modernist biblical “scholars” get something correct). This holy woman specifically wrote that “Christ was born seven years and a portion of a year earlier than according to our reckoning.” (Anne Catherine Emmerich, The Life of the Blessed Virgin Mary, pages 126-127). If she is right — and I have no reason to doubt that she is — then Redemption itself actually occurred in the year 26 A.D. … Which, in turn, means that the 2,000th anniversary of Redemption is the year 2026 AD. Did Jesus promise Luisa the Kingdom would Come precisely at the 2,000th year mark? No. But He did promise — repeatedly, and it is a guarantee — that it will be “about” that time. And it sure would be fitting if it turns out to be exact! 3. The Prophecy of St. John Bosco St. John Bosco’s prophecy depicting the Church as a ship, steered by the Pope in the midst of a great storm, guided by two pillars — Mary, and the Eucharist — is often cited. But this prophecy of a time of chastisement is not his only one! He also prophesied the Era of Peace: "The First Prophecy" of St. John Bosco "Iniquity is at an end, Sin shall cease, and before two full moons shall have shown in the month of flowers, the rainbow of peace shall appear on earth. The great Minister shall see the Bride of his King clothed in glory". So much for the Era of Peace being the heresy of “Millenarianism”! John Bosco makes clear that indeed, on the earth, iniquity shall end, sin shall cease, and the Church (the “Bride”) shall be clothed in glory. This is, in other words, the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Now, the “month of flowers” is generally agreed to be May. Today, a month in which two full moons shine is referred to colloquially as a “blue moon” month. The next blue moon May? You guessed it: On the Feast of the Visitation (May 31) of the year 2026, two full moons shall have shone in the month of flowers. And, what Feast Day could be more fitting? On the Feast of what what Pope Benedict called “The First Eucharistic Procession,” wherein God Himself comes to visit His people, so too He comes spiritually to reign on Earth. Now, the above three items are the biggest ones on my mind. But a couple more thoughts come regarding this timing: 4. These events are immediately following 40 years of messages at Medjugorje. Those who follow Medjugorje most closely have been long saying that they believe the apparitions will go on for 40 years, which brings us to 2021. When the apparitions end, the secrets given during the apparitions begin — secrets that pertain, no doubt, in large part to the End-of-the-Era Chastisements. 5. The Antichrist has no use coming on to the world stage until the infrastructure is fully in place for him to exert immediate, total, worldwide dominion. He must be capable of controlling everyone — especially by way of exerting dominion over all finance (the “Mark of the Beast” spoken of in the Book of Revelation). It seems to me that the technology he is waiting for is for a smartphone to be in the hands of every person on the face of this planet (they are almost cheap enough and solar power is almost easy enough to allow for this), along with the existence of a worldwide, high speed, wireless internet connection for each of these smartphones that are in the hands of all people (Google and other companies are working on this right now). We are not there yet of course, but it seems we probably will be in a few years (likely by 2022). When we do arrive there, rest assured that some sort of a chip will soon thereafter be required — in the right hand or the forehead — as a necessary “financial security measure” to correlate each phone with its proper owner. This measure, which will be orchestrated by the Antichrist himself, will in turn be in response to another orchestrated “global security breach,” the “only” feasible response to which will be such implanted microchip security measures. Furthermore, the implantation of this chip will also require some sort of a heretical, blasphemous, or sacrilegious oath (for God will not allow anyone to fall by the Mark of the Beast merely by innocently subscribing to a technological advancement). Again; this is all speculation. A closing thought on timing: As I began stating the dangers of speculation, I conclude stating why this particular speculation is so encouraging, which is largely the reason I publish it. If indeed 2022 is when the Chastisements really will hit, then this gives us just enough time to lose no hope in doing everything we can, fully expecting it to bear much fruit, in the remaining few years of society’s ordinary functioning that we may have. But it also points out that these events are not so far off that we oughtn’t consider them as imminent realities. Indeed, these dates shout loud and clear: You still have some time — but only just enough. Only enough for you to begin this very day in getting to work on what God has put on your heart for the sanctification of your soul and the salvation of the whole world, but which you have long procrastinated. Do not any longer put off until tomorrow what you must do today.
I was thinking about the theme of the next synod and I believe that it could be "the decentralization of papal power" something like providing a certain doctrinal authority for episcopal conferences, I think about this because in the exhortation "Evangelii Gaudium" the Pope suggested just that, and the former Jesuit leader Adolfo Nicolas suggested something similar in an interview in 2015, that each bishop make his own synod to apply his own conclusions after the 2015 synod. http://www.ihu.unisinos.br/78-notic...-seu-documentoq-entrevista-com-adolfo-nicolas In addition, Cardinal Maradiaga, an ally of Francis, suggested in 2015 a synod on decentralization in the Church. https://outraspalavras.net/outrasmidias/cresce-o-cerco-ao-papa-herege/ the articles from the links I posted are all in Portuguese, because I didn't find it in another language
The idea of decentralization is totally contrary to Our Lord’s saying: thou art Peter and upon this rock I shall build My Church, thus establishing Apostolic succession. Thank you for your post, Luan.
I don't know why people are still looking for an astronomical event. Conchita's words clearly state this will not be a natural phenomenon explained by science. When she says it will be like two stars colliding, she does not say it will look like two stars colliding. To me it is clear she is just illistrating that it won't hurt us physically but we will see it...Just like two far off stars colliding. What do we see? Our conscience, all the good and bad we have done. Read her statements, her words in red... "No. To me, it's like two stars… that crash and make a lot of noise and a lot of light but they don't fall… It's something that's not going to hurt us but we're going to see it. In that moment, we're going to see our conscience." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October, 1968 Q. We have heard that some say the Warning may be a natural phenomenon but will be used by God to speak to mankind. Is this true? A. The Warning is something supernatural and will not be explained by science. It will be seen and felt. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- February, 1977 Question: Would you repeat for us what you know about the Warning? Answer: … I am not able to say what it consists of but I am able to say what it will be like, more or less. It is a phenomenon which will be seen and felt in all the world and everywhere; I have always given as an example that of two stars that collide.This phenomenon will not cause physical damage, but it will horrify us because at that very moment we will see our souls and the harm we have done. It will be as though we were in agony but we will not die by its effects but perhaps we will die of fright or shock to see ourselves. … ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ August, 1980 Question: It (the Warning) is not going to hurt you? Answer: No. To me, it's like two stars… that crash and make a lot of noise and a lot of light but they don't fall… It's something that's not going to hurt us but we're going to see it. In that moment, we're going to see our conscience. You're going to see everything wrong that you're doing. _______________________________ Why not speculate on dates?.... Speculation on dates causes people to reject the words of Our Lady when the dates do not pan out. In addition it may give people a false sense security if the dates speculated end up actually being too far in the future. The month of flowers can also be interpreted as March since this is when wildflowers bloom where St Don Bosco lived. It just shows the futility of speculating. _________________________ My spiritual dirrector explains it like this...If God gives us a present and we get so distracted by the wrapping paper we miss the present. It doesn't matter how the call to holiness comes...in a apparition or ordinary means. It doesn't matter when the warning comes. What matters is our response to the call to holiness. Knowing every prophecy does us absolutely no good unless we respond. Those who have absolutely no knowledge of prophecies, apparitions etc. yet lead lives of prayer and holiness are far better prepared than us if we spend hundreds of hours keeping up with each and every "seer" Not to mention that saints have warned about the risks of placing too much importance on ANY private revelation, true or untrue.
And his face shone like the sun, and his garments became white as light" (Mt 17). While he was still speaking, a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!” When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown to the ground, terrified. But Jesus came and touched them. “Get up,” he said. “Don’t be afraid. I often think the transfiguration is like a pre-figurement of the warning. When confronted by the holiness of God people will collapse in fear. Also the Fatima miracle comes to mind of the sun spinning in coloured light and falling to the ground causing people to fall and pray on their knees. I have often thought the light of the warning is going to be so bright and pure that it will be like a spiritual x-ray of the soul.
its the synod in 2025 in nicea, unity of catholics and orthodox, more to be announced in coming years, im fairly sure.
