I'll tell you something else to make you shake your head: Monsignor Jeffrey Burrill is the priest in question. He was general secretary of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops until he resigned over the scandal. Msgr Burrill is incardinated in the Diocese of La Cross (Wisconsin). The bishop of this diocese, Bishop William Callahan, wrote on July 20 to priests in his diocese: "The media reports establish no facts in truth about Jeff's behavior, either innocent or not." However, if there were no "facts in truth" about Jeff's behavior, the bishop should have wasted no time to file a defamation suit against The Pillar. This would have quickly established the "facts in truth". By remaining silent, the Bishop and Msgr. Burrill have effectively admitted the truth of the accusations. Bishop Callahan has asked all the priests and laity of the diocese to pray for Msgr. Burrill; however, despite repeated requests, he has issued no comments on whether or not he will remove the faculties of Msgr Burrill. IOW, Msgr as of this writing, is still a priest in good standing in the Diocese of La Crosse (Wisconsin). He can offer mass in public, hear confessions, perform marriages and baptisms. There is no word on where he is now. Here's the thing to keep in mind: Bishop Callahan is the same bishop who has indefinitely removed the priestly faculties for Fr. James Altman, for being "divisive and ineffectual".
A good article about this... https://www.crisismagazine.com/2021/is-msgr-burrill-the-tip-of-the-iceberg
Emmet O'Regan was a guest on US Grace Force a few days ago. Some people said in the comments section that they had trouble understanding Emmett. In case some members here have the same problem, this is what they discussed: Emmett contends that the unbinding of Satan (Revelation 20, St. Michael opening the abyss) is Pope Leo's vision and a prophecy of Anne Katherine Emmerich coming to pass. Blessed Emmerich's vision was to happen 50 or 60 years before the year 2000. Referring to research by Kevin Symonds about Pope Leo's vision where Satan asked for time to destroy the Church, Emmett says that Satan made two requests which somehow results in a total of 120 years. He links this to the Book of Job and Satan's request for a second attempt. Emmett believes that Satan was unbound in 1909 when a star fell to earth over Siberia. The Pergamon altar had been discovered in Turkey around the time of the Knock apparition and subsequently moved to Germany where it was installed in Berlin in 1900. He says that was a portal. WWI and the rise of the Nazis. 2 years ago, Akita warning. Pachamama in Rome. Beginning of Pandemic. Churches locked. Similar to the opening of the 7th seal and silence in Heaven. Jesus likened the end times to the days of Noah. Emmet quotes from Genesis 6: My Spirit will not abide with man forever. That translates from Hebrew as "My Spirit will not reside with man until the end of the eon". Also from Genesis "His (Satan's) time will be 120 years". Noah's flood happened 100 years after men cavorted with the Nephilim. Emmett reckons that the 120 years in Genesis is referring to the unbinding of Satan. Emmett theorises that current events are the last throw of the dice leading up to the end of the 120 years. He expects a political leader to emerge and lead us out of the mess. He links that to the Katechon, the Holy Roman Empire having been a kind of Katechon which was removed with the collapse of the Habsburgh dynasty followed by WW1. Emmet is hoping that the rebinding of Satan will bring a reinstatement of the Katechon (a political leader). If this happens, we are into the time when the Gospel will be spread to the end of the earth, the period of peace promised by Our Lady of Fatima, the restoration of the church, the full complement of gentiles, the conversion of the Jews and the arrival of the Antichrist. Emmett says that Pope Leo's vision had Rome surrounded by the forces of Satan surrounding Rome. He likens this to Revelation 20 where the camp of the Saints is surrounded by the forces of Satan. Pope Leo's encyclical Humane Generis (1884) was about Freemasonry and the struggle of the City of God with the city of the Devil. He links current events in the Church with the Pope (Peter) being sifted like wheat. He says that's why it had to be a Pope who received the vision given to Pope Leo. Emmett doesn't believe that the withheld part of the 3rd secret of Fatima refers to apostasy at the top of the Church because he believes that would conflict with the promise of the gates of hell not prevailing. He very much approves of Kevin Symonds book on Fatima. Emmett believes the withheld portion concerns a cataclysmic event, possibly a tsunami resulting from La Palma in the Canaries falling into the Atlantic. To support this, He cites Pope John Paul's reference to millions perishing in an event that can be mitigated with prayer. He says that Satan wants the Pope to defect from the Faith and wants us to believe that the Pope has defected - strike the shepherd and the sheep will be scattered. Fr. Heilman believes that Christmas star in 2021 was God feeding us or teeing us up in understanding because the last time it appeared (in 1226) St. Francis of Assisi died and the practice of Eucharistic adoration moved out of the monasteries into parishes. He believes that we have lost the sense of the sacred and need to get back to adoration to bring conversions. Here's the video. I hope that I have accurately related what Emmett said.
This is invaluable info. Thanks for presenting it so clearly. Everyone listen to this video if you are able.
I didn't include every detail. Also, the event in Genesis that angered God enough to send the flood 100 years later was the "Watchers" copulating with human women, giving rise to the Nephilim. In my earlier post I said that it was humans cavorting with the Nephilim. I did a search to find out more about the event in 1909 which Emmet links to St. Michael opening the abyss. It was the Tunguska event which, according to the BBC, happened in 1908: http://www.bbc.com/earth/story/20160706-in-siberia-in-1908-a-huge-explosion-came-out-of-nowhere
Anne Catherine Emmerich prophesied about a time where there are two apparent popes. The good pope is a prisoner in the Vatican and the other guy creates a one world church where all Christians are united. The mass will be changed, and the bread will remain bread. This is because freemasonry cleverly undermines the Church. Less than 100 priests will not be deceived. Were this to happen, the Church wouldn’t defect, though many would think so. This is because the indefectibility of the Church is tied to the successor of Peter. Not definitely asserting it is the case now. But it is per se not against the indefectibility to believe Fatima warned about apostasy from the top. It would even make sense Freemasons in the church would try to suppress knowledge of what is really happening.
Thomas can you give us some direct quotes? This is stunning info. Especially with the children's vision at Fatima with a bishop in white who appeared to be the Holy Father.
It is in line with Fr Gobbi’s explanation of free masonry’s role in the Church. Marian priest Fr Roux prophesied that it would come from the top down. This is where I believe Emmett is mistaken.
.....as I've touched on in previous posts, it's very hard to keep the stress level down with personal and financial issues, alone. But when trying to process everything involved in either alleged or approved phrophetic visions, it's almost impossible. My take away from prophecy, in general, is that things will get worse, then things will finally get better...with peace, conversions and a united Catholic faith.......and yet then ...just when things are great, an anti Christ comes. It just all sort of leaves my head spinning. And dare I add this, and it is directed at no one here or their posts...but just a general statement, I have kind if an underlying but simmering frustration with apparitions coming with "secrets". I just don't get or perhaps comprehend why there are "secrets" involved in some of these apparitions. This is my take, anyway, and I pribably shouldn't be posting because I'm in a bad mood to begin with for any number of reasons.
I think OnePeter5 does a great job explaining why the 2 Popes in her vision do not describe Benedict... Words in RED are mine, please read the links provided... https://romanchurches.fandom.com/wiki/Santa_Maria_ad_Martyres "The mediaeval centre of the city is in a meander of the Tiber, and anciently was not a residential neighbourhood. People did not want to get regularly flooded out when they could live on the hills and have water delivered by aqueduct. In early ancient times, this area was undeveloped and was called the Campus Martius or the "Field of Mars", a place where soldiers trained. In the early Imperial period, a closely packed collection of large public buildings such as temples, baths and theatres were built here for the city and the Pantheon was one of these....The buildng's function as a temple was suppressed in 395, when the emperor Theodosius I ordered the closure of all pagan temples in the Empire. Its function for the next two centuries is unknown, but it is fairly certain that it was used as an assembly hall. However, in 608 Emperor Phocas donated it to Pope Boniface IV so that it could be turned into a church. Hence it was consecrated and dedicated to Our Lady and all the martyrs ( Santa Maria ad Martyres)in the following year, 609 (on MAY 13th an important day for OUR LADY), after the surviving pagan statuary ("the pagan filth") was thrown out. A grateful Roman senate ordered the erection of a surviving memorial column in the Forum to the honour of the emperor, which happens to be the last act on record that it performed...Further, Pope Boniface was said to have brought thirty-eight (or twenty-eight) cartloads of martyrs' remains from the catacombs and enshrined them in the church. So The Pantheon was built and served as a pagan temple filled with idols, then decommissioned, without worship for centuries until Pope Boniface got rid of the pagan idols, and consecrated it as a Christian Church dedicated to our Lady and the martyrs on May 13th, 609. Enter Anne Catherine Emmerich and the Two Popes (MAY 13, 1820)... Contrary to how many currently interpret her vision as referring to our present two Popes, her vision (ON MAY 13th 1820) of one of the popes seems to clearly refer to Pope Boniface IV, and the second Pope in the future... https://onepeterfive.com/anne-catherine-emmerich-and-the-two-popes/ MARY OF THE ROTUNDA AND THE CHAPEL OF THE PROTESTANT EMBASSY, AT ROME May 13, 1820 “Last night, from eleven to three, I had a most wonderful vision of two churches and two Popes and a variety of things, ancient and modern. I shall relate, as well as I can...Then I had a wonderful vision. Rome suddenly appeared as in the early ages, and I saw a Pope (Boniface IV) and an emperor whose name I knew not (Phocas). I could not find my way in the city, all was so different, even the sacred ceremonies; but yet I recognized them as Catholic. I saw a great round building like a cupola— it was a pagan temple full of beautiful idols. It had no windows, but in the dome was an opening with a contrivance for keeping out the rain. It seemed as if all the idols that ever existed were gathered together there in every conceivable posture. Many of them were very beautiful, and others exceedingly odd; there were even some of geese which received divine honor. In the center of the building stood a very high pyramid formed entirely of those images. I saw no idolatrous worship at the time of which I speak, although the idols were still carefully preserved. I saw messengers from Pope Boniface going to the emperor and petitioning for the temple to be changed into a Christian church. I heard the latter declaring distinctly that the Pope should allow the ancient statues to remain, though he might erect therein the Cross to which the highest honors should be paid. This proposal, as it seemed to me, was made not wickedly, but in good faith...Messengers were then dispatched to the emperor, who now consented to the temple’s being entirely cleared. Then I saw his people come and take numbers of the statues to the imperial city; but still many remained in Rome. Then I saw the consecration of the temple, at which ceremony the holy martyrs assisted with Mary at their head. The altar was not in the center of the building, but against the wall. I saw more than thirty wagon-loads of sacred relics brought into the church. Many of them were enclosed in the walls and others could be seen through round openings covered with something like glass. continued to next post...
Now see if the state of the Church in the 2nd Pope's time (in the vision) jogs any familiar images... When I had witnessed this vision even in the smallest details, I saw again the present Pope and the dark church of his time in Rome. It seemed to be a large, old house like a town hall with columns in front. I saw no altar in it, but only benches, and in the middle of it something like a pulpit. They had preaching and singing, but nothing else, and only very few attended it. And lo, a most singular sight! Each member of the congregation drew an idol from his breast, set it up before him, and prayed to it. It was as if each man drew forth his secret thoughts or passions under the appearance of a dark cloud which, once outside, took some definite form. They were precisely such figures as I had seen around the neck of the illicit bride in the Nuptial House, figures of men and animals. The god of one was short and broad with a crisp head and numerous, outstretched arms ready to seize and devour all in its reach; that of another was quite small with miserable, shrunken limbs; another had merely a block of wood upon which he gazed with rolling eyes; this one had a horrible animal; that one, a long pole. The most singular part of it was that the idols filled the place; the church, although the worshipers were so few, was crowded with idols. When the service was over, everyone’s god re-entered into his breast. The whole church was draped in black, and all that took place in it was shrouded in gloom. Then I saw the connection between the two Popes and the two temples. I am sorry that I have forgotten the numbers, but I was shown how weak the one had been in adherents and human support, but how strong in courage to overturn so many gods (I knew the number) and to unite so many different forms of worship into one; and, on the contrary, how strong in numbers and yet how irresolute in action was the other since, in authorizing the erection of false temples, he had allowed the only true God, the only true religion to be lost among so many false gods and false religions. It was also shown me that those pagans humbly adored gods other than themselves, and that they would have been willing to admit in all simplicity the only God, the Most Holy Trinity. Their worship was preferable to that of those who adore themselves in a thousand idols to the total exclusion of Our Lord. The picture was favorable to the early ages, for in them idolatry was on the decrease, while in our days it is just the contrary. I saw the fatal consequences of this counterfeit church; I saw it increase; I saw heretics of all kinds flocking to the city. 2 I saw the ever-increasing tepidity of the clergy, the circle of darkness ever widening. And now the vision became more extended. I saw in all places Catholics oppressed, annoyed, restricted, and deprived of liberty, churches were closed, and great misery prevailed everywhere with war and bloodshed. I saw rude, ignorant people offering violent resistance, but this state of things lasted not long. Again I saw in vision St. Peter’s undermined according to a plan devised by the secret sect while, at the same time, it was damaged by storms; but it was delivered at the moment of greatest distress. Again I saw the Blessed Virgin extending her mantle over it. In this last scene, I saw no longer the reigning Pope, but one of his successors, a mild, but very resolute man who knew how to attach his priests to himself and who drove far from him the bad. I saw all things renewed and a church which reached from earth to Heaven. I saw one of the twelve new apostles in the person of the young priest whom the unchaste bride wanted to marry. It was a very comprehensive vision and portrayed anew all that had been previously shown me regarding the Church’s destiny. On another occasion, I had a vision of the Vicar-General’s stanch resistance to secular power in behalf of the interests of the Church. The affair covered him with glory, 3 though upon some other points he was to blame. I was told that I should have to go again to the Pope; but when all this will take place I cannot say.” Onepeter5 quote... "It is my contention — and I’m open to correction on this — that Sister Emmerich’s vision of the false dark Church and the pope who oversaw it was a prophetic vision; whereas the actions of Pope St. Boniface IV was a vision of the past. The relationship, then, of “the two popes” was not a relationship between two contemporaries, but two historical bookends, as it were, held apart by centuries: the pope who Christianized the most notable symbol of the pagan world, and the pope who would subsequently paganize the Catholic Church, thus reversing his sainted predecessor’s gains. In sum, I do not believe it can be argued that Bl. Anne Catherine Emmerich’s vision of the two popes applies to the relationship between Pope Benedict and Pope Francis; this is a misreading based on missing context and wishful thinking." -So the pagan temple, filled with idols was cleansed of the idols and dedicated to Mary--- by the 1st Pope in the vision (vision and dedication both May 13th) -The 2nd Pope in the vision presides in a church filled with idols, figures of men and animals. The Amazon synod comes to mind. -Then comes the great persecution. It does not last long. -St Peters is undermined by a secret sect (Communism?) and damaged by storms (scandals?) -The Church is rescued when things are at their worst...OUR LADY triumphs
Fulton Sheen comments on this on his truly wonderful talk on Diabolical. I have watched this talk over and over and over again. He cites the case of entering a Asylum and the very presence of a priest Driving some of the inmates crazy. An English Exorcist one time told me of visiting and Asylum for the criminally insane. He walked past this very tall stone, wall behind which some of the inmates were exercising. They had no way of knowing he was on the other side, but they started screaming all together as he passed by. I'll tell you another story I heard from a lady who used to live in a Housing Project near here. She said on several occasions she noticed this: that everything would be totally quiet and peaceful but suddenly all out of the blue things would go crazy. From all over the place there would be the sound of people howling, then they would emerge and fight each other, screaming and shouting. She couldn't wait to get out. Actually you know if people were truly spiritually aware they would see the praeternatural every day. It is everywhere.
There are some sins which you can be sure of the direct presence of the in Devil in ways that can be seen and felt. I mean in palbable ways. Such as. Abortion. Murder. Witchcraft. Sexual perversion. Child Abuse ..and clergy who have fallen into Dark Ways.
