Catholic Prophecy, for instance at Akita and Fatima (both Church approved) indicate that the main Enemy of the Church has to come from within. In otherwords from priests, Bishops, Cardinals , Religious and lay folk who claim to be loyal and obedient Catholics. But have you ever thought of some of the Signs that would indicate these peole are in fact the Enemy Within? I thought we could putforward some obvious signs. I think that the main strategy of the enemy is to transform the Gospel and the Teachings of the Church to another Gospel a natural human way of thinking and so the first point of attack is al lthat is miraculous, that is mystical , that is supernatural. 1. The Eucharist. The Eucharist is the very Bread of life of the Faithful and so will be the enemies very first point of attack. The end game is to have the Doctrine of Transubstantiation undermined. So a whole range of tactics has emerged. For instance the removal of the tabernacle to a side altar. The removal of altar rails. The introduction of communion in the hand. The introduction of the recpetion of communion to non Catholics and the divorced. The downplaying or stoppage of Eucharistic Adoration. You get the idea. Where you see these false ideas being put into play know that you are facing the enemy within.
2 A New Gospel The enemy will preach a New Gospel in a new language. they will for instance talk about Psycholgy, sociology, enviromentalism, socialism and thousand other isms. Anything but the Gospel itself pure and simple. For the Gospel is the very last thing the enemy wishes you to hear. Galatians 1:8 No Other Gospel …7which is really not another; only there are some who are disturbing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. 8But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed! 9As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be accursed!… View attachment 4589
3. Bultmanism The enemy is effected by a German arch heretic called Rudolph Bultmann who was the subject of several heretic trials by the German Lutheran Church back in 1951. Rudolp talkied of , 'Dymytholigising' the Scriptures. In other words,say the Miracle of the Loves and fishes was not actually a miracle, people simply shared what they had. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudolf_Bultmann View attachment 4597 Bultmann is only one strand of the Germanic , 'Scientific' approach to the understanding of Scripture: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermeneutics This pseudo scientific school was condemned by St Pope Pius ix in the Encyclical, 'Sylabus of Errors'. http://www.papalencyclicals.net/Pius09/p9syll.htm And has many off shoots such as the more modern 'Liberation Theology'; also condemned by the congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith (The Holy Office). http://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/c...aith_doc_19840806_theology-liberation_en.html
These mulitple heresies are now everywhere in the Church like so many weeds as Pope St Pius X described them, they are the heresy of heresies known as , 'Modernism' placed before the Faithful in the Encyclical, 'Pascendi Gregis': “With truly lamentable results, our age, casting aside all restraint in its search for the ultimate causes of things, frequently pursues novelties so ardently that it rejects the legacy of the human race. Thus it falls into very serious errors, which are even more serious when they concern sacred authority, the interpretation of Sacred Scripture, and the principal mysteries of Faith. The fact that many Catholic writers also go beyond the limits determined by the Fathers and the Church herself is extremely regrettable. In the name of higher knowledge and historical research (they say), they are looking for that progress of dogmas which is, in reality, nothing but the corruption of dogmas.” The second part of the meme is drawn from the Oath Against Modernism (1910), which reads, “Therefore, I entirely reject the heretical’ misrepresentation that dogmas evolve and change from one meaning to another different from the one which the Church held previously.” : http://w2.vatican.va/content/pius-x...-x_enc_19070908_pascendi-dominici-gregis.html
View attachment 4598 https://zenit.org/articles/pope-mul...rick-but-a-sign-of-trust-in-god-s-providence/ 'The Holy Father also stressed to the faithful that the miracle of the loaves and fishes was “not a magic trick” but rather a sign that invites all to trust in the providence of God and “share it as brothers.”' This is exactly what Rudolf Bultman and his colleagues descibed as, 'Demythologising'. It is the murder of the mystical and the supernatural.
The Antichrist will not be so called; otherwise he would have no followers. He will not wear red tights, nor vomit sulphur, nor carry a trident nor wave an arrowed tail as Mephistopheles in Faust. This masquerade has helped the Devil convince men that he does not exist. When no man recognizes, the more power he exercises. God has defined Himsel as "I am Who am," and the Devil as "I am who am not." Nowhere in Sacred Scripture do we find warrant for the popular myth of the Devil as a buffoon who is dressed like the first "red." Rather is he described as an angel fallen from heaven, as "the Prince of this world," whose business it is to tell us that there is no other world. His logic is simple: if there is no heaven there is no hell; if there is no hell, then there is no sin; if there is no sin, then there is no judge, and if there is no judgment then evil is good and good is evil. But above all these descriptions, Our Lord tells us that he will be so much like Himself that he would deceive even the elect--and certainly no devil ever seen in picture books could deceive even the elect. How will he come in this new age to win followers to his religion? The pre-Communist Russian belief is that he will come disguised as the Great Humanitarian; he will talk peace, prosperity and plenty not as means to lead us to God, but as ends in themselves. . . . . . . The third temptation in which Satan asked Christ to adore him and all the kingdoms of the world would be His, will become the temptation to have a new religion without a Cross, a liturgy without a world to come, a religion to destroy a religion, or a politics which is a religion--one that renders unto Caesar even the things that are God's. In the midst of all his seeming love for humanity and his glib talk of freedom and equality, he will have one great secret which he will tell to no one: he will not believe in God. Because his religion will be brotherhood without the fatherhood of God, he will deceive even the elect. He will set up a counterchurch which will be the ape of the Church, because he, the Devil, is the ape of God. It will have all the notes and characteristics of the Church, but in reverse and emptied of its divine content. It will be a mystical body of the Antichrist that will in all externals resemble the mystical body of Christ. . . . . . . But the twentieth century will join the counterchurch because it claims to be infallible when its visible head speaks ex cathedra from Moscow on the subject of economics and politics, and as chief shepherd of world communism.
