The Prophecies of Saint Francis and the Tribulation

Chris Ferrara has an excellent article at Catholic Family News about the prophecies of St. Francis described in Works of the Seraphic Father, St. Francis of Assisi [London: R. Washbourne, 1882], pp. 248-250)] The book separates the wheat from the chaff, "carefully distinguishing them from doubtful sayings attributed to him (which are found in an appendix to the book). The prophecy revolves around a future pope:

A short time before the holy Father’s [St. Francis’] death, he called together his children and warned them of the coming troubles:

“Act bravely, my brethren; take courage and trust in the Lord. The time is fast approaching in which there will be great trials and afflictions; perplexities and dissensions, both spiritual and temporal, will abound; the charity of many will grow cold, and the malice of the wicked will increase. The devils will have unusual power; the immaculate purity of our Order, and of others, will be so much obscured that there will be very few Christians who obey the true Supreme Pontiff and the Roman Church with loyal hearts and perfect charity.

“At the time of this tribulation a man, not canonically elected, will be raised to the Pontificate, who, by his cunning, will endeavour to draw many into error and death. Then scandals will be multiplied, our Order will be divided, and many others will be entirely destroyed, because they will consent to error instead of opposing it.

Mordor vs. Middle Earth: the Organized Rise of Homosexuality

The armies of Middle Earth approach Mordor.
Everyone on the battlefield still alive, get up and fight!

 The philosopher George Santayana once said, "Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it." In this 2009 interview with Catholic Family News, Randy Engel spotlighted the sexual revolution and the rise of the homosexual cabal and the powers behind it. Their success to the point that public schools are teaching children how to fornicate and engage in homosexual perversion is shocking, especially in view of the small number of homosexuals. It makes complete sense, however, when you see it as a strategy in the population control tool box.

To fight effectively it's important to understand how a thing came about. Tolkein teaches us that principle in The Lord of the Rings. St. Ignatius of Loyola in his meditation on the Two Standards shows us how to fight. We are called to be Christ's soldiers in the Church Militant. Fast and pray. Debasement of our sexual powers and the attack on the family may be the "one ring that rules them all!" Our Lady of Fatima chose three little "hobbit" children from the Shire of Fatima to fight the evil. Are we listening to her message? 2017 is an important year in this battle with the 100th anniversary of her apparition. Answer her call.
