INTRODUCTION Antichrist reigns in Rome and throughout the world. From Rome he rules over the spiritual demise of practically the entire world by keeping them blind to the truths of God. The goal of this study is to prove our assertion and prove the claimants to the Papal throne after Pope Pius X to be usurpers. Hopefully this article will wake up at least one soul to the grim realities of the present moment. We are not Feeneyites or Sedevacantists. We reject such titles and do not preach their heresies. This article will not achieve recognition for two reasons. The first is because the world is currently diseased with darkness of intellect due to heresy, schism and mortal sin. The second reason is because we are certainly not prone to literary style. We will not give an impression of literary effect. We hope an ill structured sentence here or there will not blind souls to the truth it contains. For these reasons this article will likely go unnoticed by the world. There is no room for truth in the present chaos that is the world today. Nonetheless, we must encourage the few who read this with the design and purpose of finding the truth. We encourage you to unceasing watchfulness over yourselves, so that no false confidence may take possession of your souls, leaving you to languish in ignorance, but that, on the contrary, a true and wholesome fear may drive you on to do good, and strengthen you in the carrying out of good works and pushing this study forward for friends, family and neighbors to review with prayer and fasting. In the pursuit of displaying what has happened to the Catholic Church, we do not pretend to have a complete understanding of every detail in history. Most of the history has been taken from us or warped by sinful propaganda. Putting the pieces together is difficult but largely possible in today's "information age" which, thankfully, includes many solidly Catholic books, newspaper articles and other references. Papal Encyclicals can be examined and scrutinized closely. Old Catholic periodicals have the power to inform us of what was really happening in the face of the rising Antichrist spirit. With all this information hindsight reveals the cruel fact that our fathers called down a Divine punishment from God. A punishment we are called to live in with all patience and humility unto our sanctification. God does not now ask of His servants any diplomatic arguments, nor a victory won by arms, but fidelity to His truth - that is, to His Word. A fidelity now all the more perfect, as there has been an almost universal falling away.

4 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

Saint Paul foretold this falling away in his second letter to the Thessalonians which we will examine at length. This falling away was the beginning of the end times. We will see in our examination of Pope Pius X and Our Lady of La Salette the Antichrist could already be "sniffed out" by many true Catholics, including Abbot Gueranger (author of "The Liturgical Year"). We will find the Church travailing and crying out to give birth to a son in the Papacy. We will find murder and betrayals ushering the Antichrist into Rome and overtaking the seat of Peter as Daniel the Prophet foretold: "And it was magnified even unto the strength of heaven: and it threw down of the strength

and of the stars and trod upon them. And it was magnified even to the prince of the strength:

and it took away from him the continual sacrifice and cast down the place of his sanctuary."

(Daniel 9, 10-11).

We will examine the apparent murder of Pope Pius X and relate it to chapter 12 of the Apocalypse. We will closely examine the first "Encyclical" of Benedict XV and some of his words and doings that contradict the Vatican Council of 1870 and their definition of Infallibility. Pius XI, his ambiguities and his two faced approach which includes his support of the "conversations at Malines" - an ecumenical series of meetings between members of the "Catholic Church" and Anglicanism. He pretended to oppose this kind of ecumenism in ambiguous Encyclicals all the while supporting it. Sister Lucia’s vision of Christ Crucified will be understood as Heaven’s way of telling us the Church’s religious orders were slowly dying: The Crucifixion of the Church. A closer examination of the definition of Infallibility will condemn the Liturgical Revolution led by Pius XII who also was double-tongued: At one time condemning Liturgical changes all the while making such changes a few years later - stealing the cloak of the Virgin Mary to hide evil by proclaiming her Assumption into Heaven to be a "doctrine of faith" (already an accepted truth which was discussed at the 1870 Vatican Council) just a few short months before the first of the major Liturgical changes: a clever distraction. Pius XII used sly, slippery and tricky words in “Encyclicals” to help erect the false religion of Antichrist. We will examine the decline of morals in the world and relate it to the absence of the Papacy. And among so many other intellectually enlightening points we will recall the only way that we can possibly have a Pope again and what it will mean when we approach that time. It is time to clear out all prejudice from the mind. It is time to open the spiritual eyes to the crafty fraud which has for so long cloaked the intellects of those calling themselves Catholic. Seven different fonts are used in this study, each for the distinct roles that play a part in the unfurling of the truth. These roles are (in their proper fonts): Popes with Infallible Councils

and the Virgin Mary, Bible verses, Clergy/religious, all periodicals, Antipopes, Titles

to chapters and the author.

This article begins with a review of the Infallible Vatican Council which defined the Infallibility of the Pope: An extremely important subject to be knowledgeable of in order to understand how the men after Pope Pius X can in nowise be Popes.

THE INFALLIBLE VATICAN COUNCIL

Henry Cardinal Manning could see the storm coming when he made this description of the Vatican Council of 1870: “The Council has thus made provision for the Church in its time of trial, when it may be, not only Ecumenical Councils cannot be held, but even the ordinary administration of ecclesiastical government and consultation may be hardly possible. “Peters bark is ready for the storm. All that is needful is already on board. Past ages were wild and perilous, but the future bids fair to exceed them in violence, as a hurricane exceeds an ordinary storm. . . The Church has, therefore, its provision for faith and truth, unity and order. The floods may come, the rain descend, and the winds blow and beat upon it, but it cannot fall because it is founded upon Peter.” (“The Vatican Council and its definitions”, pages 164-165, 1871 edition)

A true Catholic, surrounded by a world of chaotic and satanic depravity, can still stand strong in the face of the worst storm of all, the storm of Antichrist, because his faith stands on hundreds and hundreds of years of Christ building the Church on the rock of the Papacy.

6 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

Jesus Christ promised the gates of hell would not prevail over the Church but gave no promise to always keep the Divine beacon of light and Infallible truth (The Papacy) lit if we reject it continuously. The Vatican Council made a point to expound the Divine Right Peter should have for perpetual successors in the primacy: “If anyone says that it is not by the institution of Christ the Lord Himself

(that is to say, by Divine law) that blessed Peter should have perpetual

successors in the primacy over the whole church or that the Roman pontiff is

not the successor of blessed Peter in this primacy let him be anathema.”

This Anathema has been interpreted by souls both rash and bold to mean there should always be a Pope until the end of time. Read it again. That isn’t what they are saying. They are saying blessed Peter (The Papacy) SHOULD have perpetual successors by DIVINE LAW and anybody who denies this is ANATHEMA. The Ten Commandments are DIVINE LAWS yet people abuse their free will and break the Commandments. DIVINE LAW is that which is enacted by God and made known to man through revelation. Yet mankind rejects God’s laws every day. Mankind rejected Jesus Christ and the Papacy while succeeding at installing Satan and the false prophet in their place. The Vatican Council was telling us there SHOULD always be a Pope but God allowed the free will of men to reject and replace the Papacy, to their own peril. It is precisely because mankind wished to overthrow the Papacy that God has so severely chastised the world. The Vatican Council defined the Pope Infallible when: 1. In exercise of his office as shepherd and teacher of all Christians

2. In virtue of his supreme apostolic authority

3. He defines a doctrine concerning faith and morals to be held by the whole

church

The false prophets of our time would like to convince souls these conditions must be kept in the minutest scientific detail and that Infallibility is very rare. Yet Pope Pius IX declared in Dei Filius:

7 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

“We therefore, following the footsteps of our predecessors, have never

ceased, by the virtue of our Apostolic office, from teaching and defending

Catholic truths and condemning doctrines of error.”

Cardinal Manning instructs us further on the definition: “In like manner all censures, whether for heresy or with a note less than heresy, are doctrinal definitions in faith and morals, and are included in the words in doctrina de fide vel moribus definienda. “In a word, the whole magisterium or doctrinal authority of the Pontiff as the supreme Doctor of all Christians is included in this definition of his infallibility. And also all legislative or judicial acts, so far as they are inseparably connected with his doctrinal authority; as for instance, all judgments, sentences, and decisions, which contain the motives of such acts as derived from faith and morals. Under this will come laws of discipline, canonization of Saints, approbation of religious Orders, of devotions, and the like; all of which intrinsically contain the truths and principles of faith, morals, and piety.” (“The Vatican Council”, page 94, 1871 edition)

There are other fine works such as “When does the Church speak Infallibly?”, by Father Thomas Francis Knox (1870 edition) and “Familiar Explanation of Christian Doctrine”, by Father Mueller (1875 edition) which we will refer to hereafter, exposing the naked emptiness of the Antipopes and their false Antichrist “church” in Rome.

We have presented it elsewhere but it is good to repeat here the teaching of Catholicity at the time of the definition of Infallibility:

THE TESTS OR NOTES WHEREBY AN EX CATHEDRA ACT MAY BE DISCERENED

Excerpts from “The Dublin Review”, Volume 16, pages 193-196, 1871 (Read attentively)

“It has been said e.g. that an Act, to be ex cathedra, must be formally addressed to the whole Church; or must anathematize dissidents; or must expressly state the obligation of assent, which it is intended to impose. . . that no universal criterion can be laid down; no

8 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

cut – and – dry rule which can be applied to every instance: but that theologians are often left to judge from the circumstances of some individual case: This was (Cardinal Henry Manning’s) view which he expressed in his Pastoral (letter) and this is certainly the inference which would naturally be derived from the Vatican Definition. The Pontiff is infallible whenever “in discharge of the office of Pastor and Doctor of all Christians, by virtue of his supreme Apostolic authority, he defines a doctrine regarding faith or morals to be held by the Universal Church”: but what are those particular instances in which he intends so to define, is to be decided by theologians, according to circumstance intrinsic and extrinsic, on each particular occasion. Some indeed have seemed to suppose, that one limitation has been expressed by the very word “define”: that to “define” necessarily implies some accurate and scientific expression of doctrine; and that no flowing and rhetorical exposition can constitute a “Definition.” But as (Cardinal Manning) points out (Page 88 of his Pastoral letter), “Definire is ‘finem imponere’ or ‘finaliter judicare:’” and such final determination may be made by a flowing and rhetorical, no less than by a scientific and precise declaration. The matter is beyond possibility of doubt by the case of the “Mirari vos” (Encyclical Letter). Never did a more rhetorical Act than this issue from the Holy See; and nevertheless three years afterwards, in his “Singulari Nos,” Gregory XVI informed the universal Episcopate, that in that earlier Encyclical he had “defined the Catholic doctrine” “which alone it is lawful to follow” on the various very important “heads” which he proceeded to enumerate. Nor, lastly, has the Vatican Council spoken expressly on the comparative frequency of ex cathedra Acts. At the same time we do think that one conclusion is readily deducible from its declarations; that such Acts are by no means “rare” - as a distinguished French theologian has said they are, - but on the contrary, that Pius IX alone has issued a very considerable number. We are here, however, referring not to the “Pastor AEternus,” but to the earlier “Dei Filius;” and therein to the following passage: - “We therefore, following the footsteps of our predecessors, have never ceased, by the virtue of our Apostolic office, from teaching and defending Catholic truths and condemning doctrines of error.” Now, the “Pastor Aeternus” declares that the Pope is infallible whenever “in discharge of the office of Pastor and Doctor of all Christians, by virtue of his supreme Apostolic authority, he defines a doctrine regarding faith or morals to be held by the Universal Church.” But this is the very thing which, in the “Dei Filius,” the Council testifies that he “has never ceased” from doing! The number of his ex-cathedra acts, then, must be very considerable. The same conclusion follows from a similar expression of Pius IX in the “Quanta cura;” and is also established, as we pointed

9 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

out at the time (October issue, 186, pp. 529-532), by the episcopal address presented to him at Rome. At last, however, we admit that the number is not inconsiderable of those Pontifical Acts, in regard to which no absolute certainty is attainable, whether they are or are not ex cathedra. But we doubt extremely whether there is any one doctrine, taught in any one of those Acts, which is not also defined in others, of who’s ex cathedra character there can be no reasonable doubt. Such indubitable ex cathedra utterances e.g. are the “Unam sanctam,” which was republished by Leo X as dogmatic in the Fifth Lateran Ecumenical Council; and the “Mirari vos,” of which its author, three years later, testified the ex-cathedra character to the universal Episcopate.”

THE VIRTUE OF FRANZ JOSEF, EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA

Pius X was elected Pope in unusual circumstances which have been mysteriously clouded over. Mariano Rampolla was heavily favored to become the next Pope after the death of Pope Leo XIII. Emperor Franz Josef presented an Imperial veto of Rampolla through the Cardinal of Cracow, Cardinal Puzyna. The veto is vigorously downplayed by the world today. Since the world is our enemy it’s downplaying the incident is suspect. When one makes an extensive effort to discover the reason why the Imperial veto was used many corrupt, propagandized explanations are exposed, all of them differing in illustrations - none of them true.

When the reader of this article searches for the veracity of what we say they will run into these lying explanations given by the world for the veto: 1. Emperor Franz Josef was angry at Rampolla for refusing his son burial in a Catholic Cemetery because of what appeared to be a suicide but what was just one of many attacks against the Catholicity of the royal family whom freemasonry had to take out of the way in order to usher in the reign of Antichrist. 2. Emperor Franz Josef was acting on behalf of Germany. 3. Emperor Franz Josef was acting on behalf of Italy who feared Rampolla’s supposed political ability.

10 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

Saint Paul reminds us: “For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood: but against principalities and powers,

against the rulers of the world of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high

places.” (Ephesians 6, 12)

This being our situation on earth, why would we take into account secular reports of a history so susceptible of being rewritten under the rule of the father of lies? Pope Pius IX had this to say about Franz Josef:

“Indeed, even if some Austrians, because of these nefarious fictions, have

abjured the Catholic faith, your august Prince, along with his glorious

ancestors and with his whole imperial household, retains and professes it.

And by far most of your people for whom these laws are passed also hold and

profess it. . . We have not lost all hope that God will divert the impending

calamities. We are moved to hope for the best by the piety and religious

observance of Franz Josef, Emperor and King. Today We have strenuously

implored him in a new letter never to willingly permit the Church in his

dominion to be handed over to a dishonorable servitude and never to permit

the Catholic citizens of his Empire to be brought to such extreme straits.”

(Encyclical: “Vix Dum A Nobis”, 1874)

These examples serve to show sceptics and critics the truth about the former Emperor of Austria, Franz Josef. Next is an example of his Catholic mother, Archduchess Sophie, her Catholicity was a brilliant example of charity for her children to imitate: “The Mother of the present emperor of Austria (Franz Josef), the late Archduchess Sophie, was one day walking out with her children during a summer sojourn at the bathes of Ischl, when they met a countryman in his Sunday clothes, carrying an infant in his arms. Now and again he stood still, and looked about him, as if in search of some one. The sun was hot, and beat upon the infant’s face, so that it began to wail and cry. The archduchess went up to the man, and asked why he was carrying the poor child about in the heat of the noonday sun? He replied that he would not do so if he could help it. “I have come down out of the country,” he said, “in order to get this child baptized in our parish church, and now I hear that the gentleman who promised to act as sponsor has left Ischl for Gmunden. I am at a loss what to

11 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

do.” The archduchess answered with a smile that, if that was all, she could easily set matters right; she and her husband would stand sponsors for the child. The man thought she was joking, and said she need not mock at the trouble he was in. “I mean it quite seriously,” the august lady rejoined. “Let us go to the Church directly; my husband is not far off.” The man was only too glad to fall in with her proposal; he thanked her gratefully, saying that almighty

God would reward her kindness by a blessing on her own children. The archduchess went to call her husband, the Archduke Frederic Charles, and all three went to the parish Church of Ischl. The priest was not a little amazed to see the royal sponsors accompanying the lowly peasant, and the latter was still more astonished when he learned who had consented to help him out of his dilemma; in fact he was so overawed and embarrassed, that he nearly let the child fall in his confusion. He went home a happy man, enriched with many presents. As the royal sponsors left the church the archduchess said to her husband: “That worthy peasant said God would reward us in our children; I hope and pray that his good wishes may be fulfilled.” Many years have passed since then, and the blessing predicted by the countryman has not been withheld. The Emperor Francis Joseph, the son of that imperial couple, in 1898 celebrated the jubilee of his glorious reign in full mental and bodily vigor, to the joy of this loyal and loving subjects. (“Anecdotes and Examples illustrating the Catholic Catechism”, page 170, 1904 edition)

Franz Josef, no doubt, held fast to the Catholic faith taught him by his parents from childhood to adulthood as you will perceive from this example: The conduct of the Emperor Francis Joseph I, after his preservation from an attempt at assassination, affords an admirable example of gratitude. This is what happened. In the fifth year of his reign (1853) the emperor was out walking one day, about noon, he stopped near the Karntner Gate and stood looking down into the moat. Suddenly a young man – an Hungarian tailor’s apprentice – rushed upon him and struck him a violent blow with a poniard in the nape of the neck. Happily, the point of the dagger glanced off the clasp of the cravat which the emperor was wearing, so that it only inflicted a flesh wound about an inch deep. The assassin raised his hand to strike again, but was seized by the emperor’s attendant, Colonel O’Donnell; a townsman also ran up, so that the assailant was arrested, and ultimately sentenced to death. The emperor was confined to his room for a whole month while the wound healed. The first time that his physicians allowed him to go out, he drove to the cathedral, to return thanks to almighty God for the preservation of his life. On that occasion the citizens of Vienna lined the streets from the royal residence to the cathedral; they were dressed in black and wore the imperial colors; the burgomaster and the municipality walked beside the carriage. At the grand entrance to St. Stephen’s cathedral the emperor was received by the prince-bishop and the clergy. In thankful remembrance of his happy escape from death the splendid votive church was erected, which was twenty-five years in building, and consecrated by the prince –bishop of

12 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

Vienna, assisted by forty-nine of his clergy, on the day when the imperial pair celebrated their silver wedding. When collections were made for funds to build this church, on the very first day the Viennese alone subscribed 400,000 gulden. The emperor did not forget what he owed to his deliverer, Colonel O’Donnell; he raised him to the rank of count. A few other actions which do honor to the emperor and his mother, the Archduchess Sophia, may be mentioned. When the

emperor was wounded, his first thought was not of his own danger, but of his mother. To

spare her grief, he begged that she might not be told of what had occurred. And when he heard that the mother of his assailant was, through her son’s crime, reduced to the direst poverty, he allowed her a yearly pension. Moreover, the dowager empress appointed Masses to be said for the soul of the criminal, justifying this act on the plea that no one would dare to pray for him. By these acts of benevolence the members of the imperial family did actually heap coals of fire on the heads of their enemies. (“Anecdotes and Examples illustrating the Catholic Catechism”, page 265-267, 1904 edition)

The faith and charity of this virtuous Emperor, Franz Josef, is clearly evident from these stories. They stand as proof against the spirit of lies and propaganda cast at Franz Josef, including a slanderous story of him having an adulterous affair, to be an evil attempt to rewrite history, distract Catholics and distract those who think themselves Catholics from considering him to be anything more than a confused and weak Emperor. In reality the opposite was true. Dom Gueranger teaches us: “It is faith that constitutes the basis of all supernatural virtue. A restricted, a diminished faith could never support a large and high-minded charity. Those men, therefore, are deceiving themselves whose love for revealed truth does not keep pace with their charity!” (“The Liturgical Year”, Dom Gueranger, Volume XI, 22nd Sunday after Pentecost)

If we are to judge by his actions alone it can safely be said Franz Josef loved the Catholic faith with a tremendous charity which in turn shone brightly by his acts of charity toward his subjects. Appeal is here made to one more example: To give pecuniary aid to the needy is also a work of mercy. In 1872 the Emperor Francis Joseph I sojourned for some time near Meran in the Tyrol for the sake of his health. Every day he arose early, and, generally alone, dressed in ordinary clothes, he took a walk on the mountains. One day, in one of these matutinal walks, he passed by a small farmhouse, whence issued cries of distress. The emperor, wondering what was the matter, looked in at the gate. There he saw in the straw yard a dead cow lying; beside it stood an aged couple, wringing their

13 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

hands and repeating: “It is all up with us now, it is all up with us!” The emperor was touched by the grief displayed by the poor old people, and resolved to succor them. He asked them accordingly what their cow was worth. The old man answered: “She was worth at least a hundred florins.” “Well,” the emperor replied, “cheer up. I will give you the money to buy another cow.” The old people were enchanted at hearing this. They were hardly able to believe their ears. The emperor told them to go down to the castle of Trautmannsdorf, and the major-domo would pay them money. But the old man did not seem very well satisfied at the postponement of the promised gift; he wanted to go with the gentleman at once. The emperor could not help laughing at the old fellow’s wariness; he told him he might come with him. This he did, and when near the castle the emperor met one of the officials of his court, whom he bade give the hundred florins to the peasant farmer. The good providence of God so disposed matters that the poor old folks should meet with a helping hand in their need, just as the prophet Elias succored the widow of Sarephta when in dire necessity. (“Anecdotes and Examples illustrating the Catholic Catechism”, page 265-267, 1904 edition) The truth has been established concerning the Catholic virtue of Franz Josef.

MARIANO RAMPOLLA EXPOSED At the conclave of 1903 something extraordinary occurred. The Polish Roman Catholic Cardinal Puzyna spoke in behalf of Emperor Franz Josef of Austria. The Cardinal sent a jolt through the conclave with these words: “… In the name and by the authority of Franz Josef, Emperor of Austria and King of Hungary, that His Majesty, in virtue of an ancient right and privilege, pronounces the veto of exclusion against my Most Eminent Lord, Cardinal Mariano Rampolla del Tindaro.”

Rampolla had already received a good amount of votes in the previous ballots. Now, with the veto pronounced, Giuseppe Sarto picked up conclave votes. By the inspiration of the Holy Ghost and despite his protests Sarto became the next Pope, taking the name Pius X. With the highly doubtful historical accounts of our secular world (imbued with the religion of Satan) removed from our

14 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

minds and with the virtue of Franz Josef already well established we can easily conclude the veto to be an act of heroic virtue with great merit to be wrought in Heaven. The pious and attentive Emperor, Franz Josef, was likely aware of Mariano Rampolla’s masonic connection and saved Rome, for the moment, from usurpation. The official Liber LII Manifesto of the O.T.O. BAPHOMET XI lists “Cardinal Rampolla” among its members and as one of many covert masons.

THE CHURCH TRAVAILING AND CRYING OUT

In the 12th chapter of the Apocalypse we read an account of what took place at the conclave of 1903:

1. And a great sign appeared in heaven: A woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under

her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars:

2. And being with child, she cried travailing in birth and was in pain to be delivered.

3. And there was seen another sign in heaven: and behold a great red dragon, having seven

heads and ten horns: and on his heads seven diadems:

In the book “The Apocalypse of Saint John” by Father Sylvester Berry we find a very candid explanation of these verses which bear a striking resemblance to the conclave that brought forth Pius X in 1903: “1. The Church, the faithful spouse of Jesus Christ, is represented as a woman clothed in the glory of divine grace… The brightness of the sun is a fitting symbol for the enlightening power of the Church’s teachings… 2. The Church is ever in labor to bring forth children to eternal life. In the sad days here predicted the sorrows and pains of delivery shall be increased many fold. In this passage there is an evident allusion to some particular son of the Church whose power and influence shall be such that Satan will seek his destruction at any cost. This person can be none other than the Pope to be elected in those days. The Papacy will be attacked by all the powers of hell. In consequence the Church will suffer great trials and afflictions in securing a successor upon the throne of Peter. The words of Saint Paul to the Thessalonians may be a reference to the Papacy as the obstacle to the coming of

15 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

Antichrist: “You know what withholdeth, that he may be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity already worketh; only that he who now holdeth, do hold, until he be taken out of the way. And then that wicked one shall be revealed. 3. Saint John now sees in heaven a red dragon with seven heads and ten horns; each head bearing a diadem. The dragon is Satan red with the blood of martyrs which he will cause to flow… The dragon is seen in heaven which is here a symbol of the Church, the kingdom of heaven on earth. This indicates that the first troubles of those days will be inaugurated within the Church by apostate bishops, priests, and peoples, - the stars dragged down by the tail of the dragon.

We pick up chapter 12 again: 4. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and cast them to the earth: and

the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to be delivered; that, when she should be

delivered, he might devour her son.

5. And she brought forth a man child who was to rule all nations with an iron rod: and her

son was taken up to God and to his throne.

6. And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she had a place prepared by God, that

there they should feed her a thousand two hundred sixty days.

Father Berry explains: 4. The tail of the dragon represents the cunning hypocrisy with which he succeeds in deceiving a large number of people and pastors – a third part of the stars. The dragon stands before the woman ready to devour the child that is brought forth. In other words, the powers of hell seek by all means to destroy the Pope elected in those days. 5. The woman brings forth a son to rule the nations with a rod of iron. These are the identical words of prophecy uttered by the Psalmist concerning our Saviour Jesus Christ. They confirm our application of this vision to THE POPE, THE VICAR OF CHRIST ON EARTH TO RULE THE NATIONS IN HIS STEAD AND BY HIS POWER. It is now the hour for the powers of darkness. The new-born Son of the Church is taken “to God and to His throne.” Scarcely has the newly elected Pope been enthrone when he is snatched away by martyrdom. THE

“MYSTERY OF INIQUITY” GRADUALLY DEVELOPING THROUGH THE CENTURIES, CANNOT BE FULLY CONSUMMATED WHILE THE POWER OF THE PAPACY ENDURES, but now he that “withholdeth is taken out of the way.” During the interregnum “that wicked one shall be revealed” in his fury against the Church. It is a matter of history that the most disastrous periods for the Church were times when the Papal throne was vacant, or when anti-popes contended with the legitimate head of the Church. Thus also shall it be in those evil days to come. 6. The Church deprived of her chief pastor must seek sanctuary in solitude there to be guided by God Himself during these trying days.” (“The Apocalypse of Saint John”, pages 120-124, 1921 edition)

Father Berry published this book in 1921: several years after Antichrist had already usurped the Papacy as you will soon see. Why did he not see it for himself as it was taking place? Perhaps he was caught up in the times and the propaganda that Pius X “died of a broken heart” because of World War I. This lie overruled the rumors that Pope Pius X was murdered. There are many other things Father Berry has to say, some of which are not completely accurate but much of his exposition is compelling and stunningly precise. The reader of this article should search out his book on our website. We will refer to it again later. We can now understand how the Church was “travailing and crying out” in pain to be delivered in the 1903 conclave. Mariano Rampolla was on track to usurp the Papacy when the venerable Emperor saved Catholicity from a camouflaged antipope, the likes of which we would suffer thereafter.

A WARNING OF ANTICHRIST IN THE WORLD

In his first Encyclical, “E Supremi”, Pope Pius X warned us the Antichrist is very likely

already in the world: “When all this is considered there is good reason to fear lest this

great perversity may be as it were a foretaste, and perhaps the beginning of those

evils which are reserved for the last days; and that there may be already in the

world the “Son of Perdition” of whom the Apostle speaks (2 Thess. 2, 3). Such, in

truth is the audacity and the wrath employed everywhere in persecuting religion, in

combating the dogmas of the faith, in brazen effort to uproot and destroy all relations

17 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

between man and the Divinity! While, on the other hand, and this according to the same

apostle is the distinguishing mark of Antichrist, man has the infinite temerity put himself

in the place of God, raising himself above all that is called God; in such wise that although

he cannot utterly extinguish in himself all knowledge of God, he has contemned God’s

majesty and, as it were, made of the universe a temple wherein he himself is to be adored.

“He sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself as if here were God” (2 Thess. 2,2)

(“E Supremi”, Pope Pius X)

These words of the Holy Father coincide with the prophecy of Our Lady of La Salette to the seer, Maxim Giraud, who gave the following text and can be found through more than one source: “Three fourths of France will lose the Faith and the fourth part, which will retain it, will

practice it lukewarmly. Peace will be given to the world only when men will be converted. A

protestant nation from the north of Europe will convert to the Faith and by means of this

nation the other nations will return to the Faith. The Pope who will come after this one will

not be Roman. And when men will convert, God will restore peace to the world. Afterwards

this peace will be disturbed by the monster. And the monster will arrive at the end of

the nineteenth century or at the latest at the commencement of the twentieth.

In this time the anti-Christ will be born of Hebraic descent, a false virgin, who will have

communication with the ancient serpent, with the master of impurity and putrefaction. His

father will be a Bishop. He will perform false miracles and subsist only on vitiating faith.

He will have his brethren, who will be children of evil but not incarnate devils like himself.

Soon they will be at the head of armies, supported by the legions of hell.

Up, ye children of light, and fight! For behold the ages of ages, the end, the extremity is

at hand! The Church passes into darkness. The world will be in a state of consternation,

perplexity and confusion.

On Henoch and Elias: They will suddenly appear on earth full of the spirit of God when

the Church becomes darkened and the world in terrible agony. They will convert those of

good will and comfort the oppressed Christians. With the help of the Holy Spirit, they will

have great success against the heresies of the anti-Christ. But in the end they will be

delivered unto death.”

POPE PIUS X MARTYRED

The English Catholic journal “The Tablet”, already showing signs of infiltration by the enemy but not yet completely overcome, had this to say regarding the death of Pope Pius X:

“It is with inexpressible sorrow that we have to announce the death of the Pope. His Holiness had so far recovered from the serious illness which attacked him last year that

hopes had been entertained that he might still be spared for the welfare of the Church. But he was in his eightieth year, and there can be no question that his powers, already weakened by his illness, were still further reduced by the sorrow with which, as he said, his heart was wrung at the outbreak of the great conflict in Europe. On the fourteenth of this month (a Friday) His Holiness contracted a slight bronchial cold, which, though accompanied by a rise in temperature, at first gave no anxiety. On Sunday (16th) he rose as usual, but was so weak that he was ordered back to bed. But Monday night was a bad one, and on Tuesday he was so much worse that it was decided to issue bulletins morning and evening. Unfortunately, the bronchitis trouble developed and was accompanied by increased feverishness. On Wednesday his state had become so critical, owing to a sudden relapse, that by evening death seemed imminent, and a telegram from our Rome correspondent informed us that it was “now only a

question of hours.” That was only too true. At half past two on Thursday morning death came, and released the sufferer from the heavy weight of the great burden of the Supreme Pontificate.” (“The Tablet”, August 22, 1914, page 1)

19 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

Professor Plinio Correa de Oliveira (1908-1995), though an “Intellectual”, considered himself a modern crusader for Catholicity. He did not perceive the Satanic movement in Rome to be necessarily the very works of Antichrist. Perhaps his activism served to blind him on that important particular. On any account and for what it is worth he gave this account concerning the death of Pope Pius X:

“The magazine “La Critique du Liberalisme” [The Critique of Liberalism] published an article about the death of Pope Pius X. The author sustains the thesis that Pope Pius X was murdered on the order of Masonry. He affirms that Pope Pius X caught a simple cold, but suddenly and inexplicably that cold would cause his death. One morning when he awakened, he could no longer speak, which was not proportional to that cold; he tried to write in order to communicate something, but also found himself unable to write. Soon afterward he died. The author also tells about a young, brilliant naval officer in Prussia who became a Jesuit. After being ordained, he became a nurse and was named to take care of the Pope during that cold. On that final night of the life of Pius X, he was closely attending the Pope. After the Pope died, the Jesuit returned to Prussia, left the order, and returned to a brilliant career as a naval officer. During the war he became a submarine commander. The author affirms that Pius X was killed on the order of German Masonry, and therefore would be a martyr.

In his memoirs Cardinal Merry del Val confirms that Pius X could not speak or write, and he adds: “No one will ever know what happened that night.” It is a mysterious phrase.”

The secular and worldly “New York Times” newspaper, reporting on a French book titled “Baptism of blood” which endeavors to show Pius X’s death as an act of Freemasonry, has an interesting but suspicious detail which contradicts the report of “The Tablet” quoted above and shows the propagandized cover up of Pius X’s mysterious death: “Nor is it any secret that Pius X, a few days before his death, is believed to have sent one – some say two – letters to Emperor Francis Joseph imploring him to end the war and threatening him with excommunication unless he did so. “The last letter is said to have been composed by His Holiness, assisted by Cardinal Ferrata on Aug. 17 That night he was taken ill (???)He died on Aug. 20 at 1:20 o’clock in the morning… We have a report, nothing more, that the Holy Father said just before his death: “Now I begin to think, as the end is approaching, that the Almighty in His inexhaustible goodness wishes to spare me the horrors Europe is undergoing.’” (“The New York Times”, article by Walter Litchfield)

20 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

There are obvious contradictions between the account of “The Tablet” with Professor Plinio Correa de Oliveira and the secular “New York Times”. If His Holiness, Pope Pius X, contracted a slight bronchial cold on Friday, August 14 and something made him even sicker on the morning of Sunday the 16th of August how is it he would be laying in a bed of suffering but composing a threatening letter warning Franz Josef, the great champion of the Holy Roman Empire, of excommunication? If such a letter exists it seems Pius X, in his agony, was manipulated into signing it. This would contribute to the attack on the last vestiges of Catholicity that stood strong in both Austria and Germany and throw support on the side of Antichrist who so aggressively worked, with much success, to dismantle those two countries in World War I. Pius X became ill with a slight bronchial cold on August 14, 1914. It was so slight it was almost a nonevent as it at first gave no anxiety. On Sunday, the 16th of August he became markedly worse. Professor Plinio Correa de Oliveira tells us: “One morning when he awakened, he could no longer speak, which was not proportional to that cold; he tried to write in order to communicate something, but also found himself unable to write. Soon afterward he died.” Yet the New York Times would have us believe he was busy writing letters of condemnation? How very convenient! Taking advantage of the death bed of a Pope to further the agenda of Antichrist! In 1871 Cardinal Manning spoke of the secular media in this manner: “Read carefully the correspondence from Rome published in England, believe the reverse, and you will not be far from the truth.” I am sorry to be compelled to say that this is, above all, true of our own journals.” (“The Vatican Council and its Definitions”, page 8, 1871 edition). He continues a few pages later to show the evils of secular papers:

“Again, at a later date, the Bishop of Mayence found it necessary to address to his Diocese another public protest against the inventions of the “Augsburg Gazette,” “The ‘Augsburg Gazette,’” he says, “hardly ever pronounces my name without appending to it a falsehood.” “It would have been easy for us

21 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

to prove that every Roman letter of the ‘Augsburg Gazette’ contains gross perversions and untruths. Whoever is conversant with the state of things here, and reads these letters, cannot doubt an instant that these errors are voluntary, and are part of a concerted system designed to deceive the public…” (“The Vatican Council and its Definitions”, page 11, 1871 edition)

This description of newspapers in the late 19th century by Cardinal Manning is more true in the present day media whether secular or those who (falsely) call themselves Catholic. To conclude the important subject of Pope Pius X and his death we must touch on the propaganda that he “died of a broken heart” because of the impending World War. While it is true an older man subject to the stresses around him as Vicar of Christ and an impending war between Christian nations can certainly become ill over so much solicitousness for the peace and spiritual well-being of those nations; it cannot be true that he had anxiety and sadness unto a broken heart that would have caused such an illness unto death. As you will see later, Popes Pius VI and Pius VII were betrayed and dragged into exile but Pius VII testifies to the heroic sufferings of Pius VI and Cardinal Pacca describes Pope Pius VII: “the sight of the Holy Father, who preserved an unalterable tranquility, both greatly edified me and restored my courage”. Anxiety and sadness of soul are not of God. If Pius X was truly a saint (and he likely was) he would have tranquility and quiet joy in his soul because he would have attained that perfection of love, wherein Divine charity is enkindled by suffering more even than by the sweetest spiritual caresses. Dom Gueranger explains: “The Epistle to the Philippians is full of loving confidence; its tone is decidedly one of joy, and yet it plainly shows us that persecution was raging against the Church, and that the old enemy was making capital of the storm to stir up evil passions, even amidst the very flock of Christ. The Apostle is in chains; the envy and treachery of false brethren intensify his sufferings; still, joy predominates in his heart over everything else, because he has attained that perfection of love, wherein divine charity is enkindled by suffering more even than by the sweetest spiritual caresses.” (“The Liturgical year”, Dom Gueranger, 22nd Sunday after Pentecost)

It is impossible Pius X died of the anxiety and sadness of a “broken heart”.

It is now the hour for the powers of darkness… he (The Pope) was snatched away by martyrdom. THE “MYSTERY OF INIQUITY” GRADUALLY DEVELOPING THROUGH THE CENTURIES, CANNOT BE FULLY CONSUMMATED WHILE THE POWER OF THE PAPACY ENDURES, but now he that “withholdeth is taken out of the way.” During the interregnum “that wicked one shall be revealed” in his fury against the Church.

BENEDICT XV - ANTIPOPE Franz Josef of Austria did the Church a great good by vetoing the election of one who would have been a camouflaged antipope because of his being a covert Freemason. Pius X removed the ancient privilege of Emperors to veto in the future, under pain of excommunication for the Cardinal who would present such a veto. Nonetheless, it is important to note how Franz Josef, if he had been alive during the time of the usurpation of the Papacy and the emergence of Benedict XV, would no doubt have, at the very least, voiced his objection to this man who spent almost his entire life as a priest under the direction and schooling of Mariano Rampolla! The reader will be shocked to find out that every “Pope” from “Benedict XV” to “John XXIII” had some relationship with Mariano Rampolla and were schooled under his direction.

“Giacomo della Chiesa became a priest on May 28, 1878. In 1887 he was appointed secretary to the Nuncio at Madrid, Cardinal Rampolla del Tinaro, and when Cardinal Rampolla was chosen as Cardinal Secretary of State (1887) in succession to Cardinal Jacobini, he appointed the young Monsinore to the important office of Substitute to the Secretary of State. “(“The Tablet”, September 12, 1914, page 9)

It may seem like a minute point compared to the evidences against the following claimants to the Papal See, proving they were not Popes at all, but it is in this 1914 conclave the Cardinals first introduced the method of white smoke if they elected a Pope and black smoke if they

had not. This author could find no endorsement to do so by any previous Pope. The smoke routine is an obvious breach of the secretive silence of conclaves. One can wonder, perhaps, if this alone would have made the election invalid since it was a sly technique to communicate outside the conclave. Speculation aside, below are hard hitting facts substantiating the allegations against the disciples of Mariano Rampolla.

BENEDICT XV – THE FATHER OF “ALL”

In his very first “Encyclical” Benedict XV unveils the first evidence of the supreme goodness of God by providing for Catholics the definition of Infallibility at the Vatican Council of 1870. It is by examining this Council and their definition that we are able to discern the spirits and inspect the heretical words, clouded over with ambiguities, of the men who called themselves Pope after 1914 even to the present time. (2015). Benedict XV wrote in his first “Encyclical”, Ad Beatissimi Apostolorum:

“… and at once with affectionate love we cast our eyes over the flock committed to our care – a numberless flock indeed, comprising in different ways the whole human race. For the Whole of mankind was freed from the slavery of sin by the shedding of the blood of Jesus Christ as their ransom, and there is no one who is excluded from the benefit of this Redemption: hence the Divine Pastor has one part of the human race already happily sheltered within the fold, the others He declares He will lovingly urge to enter therein: ‘and other sheep I have, that are not of this fold; them also must I bring, and they shall hear my voice’ (John 10, 16)” Certainly it may be asserted Benedict XV meant to say all mankind has the free will to be baptized and enter the Catholic Church, outside of which there is no salvation. Why then the ambiguity? Why not speak these words clearly and boldly like every true Pope before him? Proclaiming the whole of mankind freed from the slavery of sin by the shedding of the blood of Jesus Christ as their ransom is an ill-omen of the very same words in the new church of what is called “Vatican II” in their words of “consecration” in which they declare the sacrifice of Christ is for “all”, in place of the word our Lord used: “many”. “All” replaces “Many” in their new religion “Canon of the Mass” of 1969. If Benedict XV had a numberless flock of souls all freed from sin both in and out of the Catholic Church then what is the purpose of lovingly urging “to enter therein”? And what are the “different ways” one can be Catholic? Ambiguity is not a sign from God! Pope Paul III, Council of Trent, Session. 6, Chapter 3, ex cathedra: "But although Christ died for all, yet not all receive the benefit of His death, but

those only to whom the merit of His Passion is communicated."

24 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

Father M Mueller’s “Familiar Explanation of Christian Doctrine” (1875 edition) explains how those words of Benedict expose his lack of Infallibility: Q. When the Pope, in accordance with the duty of his apostolic ministry and his supreme apostolic authority, proceeds, in briefs, encyclical letters, consistorial allocutions, and other apostolic letters, to declare certain truths, to reprobate perverse doctrines, and condemn certain errors, must such declarations of truth, and condemnations of error, be considered as infallible, and as binding in conscience, and requiring our firm interior assent, although they do not express an anathema on those who disagree? A. Such declarations of truth and condemnations of error are infallible, or ex cathedra acts of the Pope, and, therefore, are binding in conscience, and requiring our firm interior assent; to refuse which would be for us a mortal sin, since such a refusal would be a virtual denial of the dogma of infallibility and we should be heretics were we conscious of such a denial. St. Alphonsus Liguori. Thelol. Lib. I., 104 (“Familiar Explanation of Christian Doctrine”, by Father Muller, pages 40-41, 1875 edition)

DESIRE TO BETRAY THE TEMPORAL POWER Benedict wrote of the Church not enjoying the full freedom it needs since the Sovereign Pontiff was deprived of it (On September 20, 1870). However, as you will see, he dubiously fails to mention the temporal sovereignty of the Pope and how it ties into his spiritual sovereignty. Benedict said:

“For a long time past the Church has not enjoyed that full freedom which it needs-never since the sovereign Pontiff, its Head, was deprived of that protection which by divine Providence had in the course of ages been set up to defend that freedom. Once that safeguard was removed there followed, as was inevitable, considerable trouble amongst Catholics: all, from far and near, who profess themselves sons of the Roman Pontiff, rightly demand a guarantee that the common Father of all should be, and should be seen to be, perfectly free from all human power in the administration of his apostolic office. And so while earnestly desiring

25 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

that peace should soon be concluded amongst the nations, it is also Our desire that there should be an end to the abnormal position of the Head of the Church, a position in many ways very harmful to the very peace of nations. We hereby renew, and for the same reasons, the many protests of Our Predecessors have made against such a state of things, moved thereto not by human interest but by the sacredness of our office, in order to defend the rights and dignity of the Apostolic See.” -- “Ad Beatissimi Apostolorum” Pope Pius IX ties the spiritual and temporal powers together in the Encyclical Respicientes: “We are determined to retain all the dominions of this Holy See and its rights whole,

entire, and unviolated, and to transmit them to Our successors. We declare all usurpations

to be unjust, violent, null, and void. We announce now that any acts committed by Our

enemies and invaders to confirm these usurpations-either at the present time or in the

future- are condemned by Us and null and invalid.

Furthermore, We protest before God and the whole

Catholic world that while detained in such captivity,

We are unable to exercise Our supreme pastoral

authority safely, expediently, and freely… We declare

openly, mindful of Our office and Our oath, that We

will never assent to a conciliation or an agreement

which in any way may destroy or diminish Our rights

and therefore those of God and the Holy See. In like

manner We confess that for the Church of Christ We

are prepared, with the help of divine grace, to drink to

the dregs that cup which the Lord first deigned to

drink for her. We will never accept and obey unjust

demands which are presented to Us. And indeed as Our predecessor Pius VII said: “To do

violence to this highest power of the Apostolic See, to disjoin its temporal authority

and its spiritual power, to disassociate, separate by force and cut off the

duties of Pastor and Prince, is nothing less than to overturn and destroy the

POPE PIUS IX

26 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

work of God. It is nothing less than to attempt to inflict the greatest damage on religion

and to deprive it of its most effective defense. Then the highest Ruler of the Church would

be unable to offer help to the Catholics spread all over the earth, who request his help and

support because of his spiritual power.”

Benedict XV is the first person to lay open for discussion the betrayal of the Papal States, long protested by Popes Pius VI, Pius VII, Leo XII, Pius VIII, Gregory XVI, Pius IX, Leo XIII and Pius X. Although Benedict says he wants a solution to the long siege of the Papal States he camouflages the fact that to disjoin the temporal authority and the spiritual power by the invalid and unjust usurpation of the Papal dominions is nothing less than to overturn and destroy the work of God.

WORLD “PEACE” CONFERENCE PRAISED

In “Quod Iam Diu” Benedict XV praises the League of Nations, the prelude to the United Nations. He says:

“Soon the delegates of the various nations will meet in solemn congress to give the world a just and lasting peace, no human assembly has ever had before it such serious and complex determinations as they will have to take. “(“Quod Iam Diu”, December 1, 1918) This Antipope was promoting the League of Nations, the prelude to the Satanic United Nations organization. He speaks as if it is with certainty this group can give the world a “just and lasting peace”. Good Catholics know that Jesus Christ is the Prince of peace. A true Pope would be condemning such a gathering that openly promotes the separation of Church and State, so solemnly condemned by Pope Pius IX in the Syllabus of Errors. This same League of Nations tore apart the Holy Roman Empire and made no effort to promote the true Prince of peace. Antipope Benedict XV dares to call upon all Catholics to pray for such an endeavor!! This manipulative tactic incorporates souls more effectually into the new religion by their participation in praying for a false peace.

27 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

An even worse exposure of his Antichrist doctrine is in the second paragraph of his baleful words:

“Words, then, are not required to show how great need they have of being illuminated from on high that they may carry out their great task well.” The One who enlightens the soul of the truths of the Faith is the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost enlightens the souls of Catholics who seek to do the will of God the Father. God the Father wills that we obey His Son, Jesus Christ. “AND WHAT CONCORD HATH CHRIST WITH BELIAL?

OR WHAT PART HATH THE FAITHFUL WITH THE UNBELIEVER?” (2 Corinthians 6, 15)

Benedict XV in “Pacem, Dei Munus Pulcherrimum”:

“Things being thus restored, the order required by justice and charity re-established and the nations reconciled, it is much to be desired, Venerable Brethren, that all States, putting aside mutual suspicion, should unite in one league, or rather a sort of family of peoples, calculated both to maintain their own independence and safeguard the order of human society.”

Hasn’t the Catholic Church always been that “one league, or rather a sort of family of peoples”? Now Antipope Benedict XV betrays this into the hands of men of the flesh!! It is amazing how so many modern commentators, pretending to be Catholic, pull out the Catholic sounding phrases of these Antipopes without any criticisms of the obvious Anti-Catholic rhetoric. They pull out these phrases to convict the world of sin and yet they sinfully promote ignorance in their disciples. A few commentators point out the deficiencies in these men they call Popes but only to defend them and try to convince us they were tricked or they were not free to defend Catholicity properly. This is delusional nonsense.

SABOTAGED 1917 CODE OF CANON LAW Pope Pius X was working diligently on combining all the laws of the Church under one code called “The code of Canon Law”. “Benedict XV” and the future “Pius XII” worked on this with him. Pope Pius X died before he could publish this code. With the Papacy “taken out of the way” it was a matter of subtly deceiving souls into error. There are three canons in particular

28 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

we would like to present to our readers promulgated under Benedict XV which prove his reign as an ANTIpope – having no infallibility:

Canon 1258: It is unlawful for the faithful to assist in any active manner, or to take part in the sacred services of non-Catholics. At Funerals of non-Catholics, at their marriages and similar solemnities, provided there is no danger of perversion or scandal, passive or merely material presence on account of a civil office or for the purpose of showing respect for a person may be tolerated for a grave reason… Attending a Protestant or any other heretical or Infidel service is always putting yourself in DANGER OF PERVERSION OR SCANDAL! Also, what is a “sacred service” of a non-Catholic? The council of Trent teaches us that all others who call themselves a “church” are necessarily of the Devil. There is nothing sacred outside the Catholic Church. Do you see the slow perversion of faith taking place? The Church has spoken: Pope Pius IX, “Graves Ac Diuturnae”, on the heretical sect called “Old Catholics”: “…They should totally shun their religious celebrations, their buildings, and their chairs

of pestilence which they have with impunity established to transmit the sacred teachings.

They should shun their writings and all contact with them. They should not have any

dealings or meetings with usurping priests and apostates from the faith who dare to

exercise the duties of an ecclesiastical minister without possessing a legitimate mission or

any jurisdiction. They should avoid them as strangers and thieves who come only to steal,

slay, and destroy. For the Church’s children should consider the proper action to preserve

the most precious treasure of faith, without which it is impossible to please God, as well as

action calculated to achieve the goal of faith, that is the salvation of their souls, by

following the straight road of justice.”

The Lateran Council, In the year 649: “If anyone according to the holy Fathers, harmoniously with us and likewise with the

Faith, does not with mind and lips reject and anathematize all the most abominable

heretics together with their impious writings even to one least portion, whom the holy

29 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

Catholic and apostolic Church of God, that is, the holy and universal five synods and

likewise all the approved Fathers of the Church in harmony, rejects and anathematizes, we

mean (here they list many heretical sects). . . and briefly all the remaining heretics, let such

a person be condemned.”

Now on to Canon 209, so often used by the false Christs and false Prophets of our day:

Canon 209: In common error or in positive or probable doubt about either law or fact, the Church supplies jurisdiction: for both the external and internal forum. Vatican Council of 1870: “Wherefore we teach and declare that, by Divine ordinance, the Roman Church

possesses a preeminence of ordinary power over every other church, and that this

jurisdictional power of the Roman Pontiff is both episcopal and immediate. Both clergy

and faithful, of whatever rite and dignity, both singly and collectively, are BOUND TO

SUBMIT TO THIS POWER by the duty of hierarchical subordination and true obedience,

and this not only in matters concerning faith and morals, but also in those which regard

the discipline and government of the Church throughout the world.”

Council of Florence, in the year 1439: “We likewise define that the holy Apostolic See, and the Roman Pontiff, hold the

primacy throughout the entire world, and that the Roman Pontiff himself is the successor

of blessed Peter, the chief of the Apostles, and the true vicar of Christ, and that he is the

head of the ENTIRE Church, and the father and teacher of all Christians and that full

power was given him in blessed Peter by our Lord Jesus Christ to feed, rule, and GOVERN

THE UNIVERSAL CHURCH.”

This false idea of a “supplied Jurisdiction” outside of the true supplied Jurisdiction which comes from and through the Papacy is a novelty designed to support schismatics and heretics in the future; like the Society of Saint Pius X, CMRI, and other such profaners of Catholic

30 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

doctrine. Satan had a plan and he was organizing and laying the foundation stones for his false church for the demise of millions of souls.

Canon 1374: Catholic Children shall not attend non-Catholic or undenominational schools, or schools that are mixed (that is to say, open also to non-Catholics). The bishop of the dioceses alone has the right, in harmony with the instructions of the Holy See, to decide under what circumstances, and with what safeguards against perversion, that attendance of such schools by Catholic children may be tolerated. Again, look at the response to Canon 1258. This attitude is like throwing the sheep to the wolves as long as the wolves don’t touch the sheep! It is the very nature of Satan, the wolf, to devour souls with apostasy, heresy, and schism. He won’t leave you alone. It can never be acceptable to send one’s children to such places of spiritual fornication and exposes them to other children who do not have the true faith. This corrupt “law” perverts the faith of Children and they knew it.

Pope Pius IX, “Amantissimus”, 1862: “Since, venerable brother, you well know that all hope of both sacred and public affairs

depends on the right, salutary and religious education of children, it is of particular

concern that from their tender years they attend Catholic schools where, diligently learning

the truth of our religion and commandments, they will escape the danger of having their

sensitive minds tainted with evil principles.”

Father Thomas Francis Knox explains clearly the Church’s Infallibility in judging systems of education. . . another example of the lack of Infallibility in Benedict XV and therefore the Papacy being vacant: “There is nothing of greater consequence to the wellbeing of Christ’s flock than that the children of the faithful should be trained up and educated in a way conformable to right faith and morals. Nor is there any surer means of corrupting the sheep of Christ than by submitting them during their earlier years to anti-Christian and immoral systems of education. Hence the untiring efforts of the enemies of the Catholic faith everywhere to get the education of the people into their own hands or under their control. On the other hand, the Church, as in duty bound, has never ceased to meet this danger in such ways as lay within her

31 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

means, both by providing suitable education for the young, and by condemning the false educational principles and systems of her adversaries, and warning the faithful against allowing themselves to get entangled in them. Now it cannot be said with any colour of justice that the Church, in passing judgment on systems of education, has exceeded her powers. For these systems are manifestly dogmatic and moral facts, owing to their necessary bearing upon dogma and morality. As such, then, the Church has a right to judge them; and since the faithful are bound to submit without appeal to her judgment upon these systems, she must be able to judge them infallibly. The Brief “Quum non” of Pius IX to the Archbishop of Freiburg (1864) is a practical proof that the Church claims to speak authoritatively on the subject of education.” (“When does the Church speak Infallibly?” Pages 68-69, 1870 edition)

These examples from the “Code of Canon Law” of Benedict XV expose a lack of guidance

from the Holy Ghost. It brings to light the slow and subtle betrayal of Catholicity in the souls of

the faithful. The old adage of the frog being brought to a boil by slowly raising the heat of the

water is exactly what these wicked men were doing to the unwary who still at least had some

Catholicity.

PIUS XI: HYPOCRISY AND BETRAYAL

Antipope Benedict XV died on January 22, 1922. The secret plotters had a powerful leader by the name of “Cardinal” Gasparri. When Pius XI took over as the camouflaged

antipope he kept Gasparri as secretary of state. The same position he held under Benedict XV. In fact, Benedict XV and Pius XI were only a 3 year difference in age and would have climbed the ranks together. Gasparri made many false accusations against Pope Pius X regarding the organization the Pontiff had founded to uncover Modernists in the Church throughout Europe. The ties of Gasparri with Mariano Rampolla place huge question marks on Pius XI and his climb to fame. His reign unleashed many anti-Catholic principles including supporting an ecumenical meeting with the Anglicans, promoting eugenics, a final

betrayal of the temporal power of the Pope by relinquishing the Papal states for nearly 2 billion Italian dollars and calling on Catholics to “participate” during Mass or other services in a

32 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

Catholic Church by singing during Mass – directly opposing the directions of Pope Pius X in his Encyclical “Tra Le Sollecitudini”. In 1929 Our Lady of Fatima appeared to Sister Lucia with Jesus Christ crucified. This was a clear indication that the Church was being crucified and the ecclesiastical order was slowly dying off.

THE MALINES CONVERSATIONS From 1921 to 1925 Pius XI was well aware of certain “conversations” being held between his “Cardinal” Mercier and the Anglican “Archbishop” of Canterbury. Shortly before his death “Cardinal” Mercier wrote to this Anglican a long letter in which, amongst other things, he says this (These excerpts are taken from “Project Canterbury: Notes on the Conversations at Malines”):

1.) “We have responsibilities which our followers do not share and do not always understand our situation imposes upon us the duty to consider the general situation from a higher standpoint, according to deeper supernatural standards. The direction of consciences entrusted to us allows us to act with authority.” ANSWER: Only the Catholic Church has been commissioned by Jesus Christ: “Going therefore, teach ye all nations; baptizing them in the name of the Father and of

the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have

commanded you:. . .“ (Matthew, 28, 19-20)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2.) “This comparative survey would show, I believe, that not only have our meetings brought hearts together, which is already a very appreciable result, but that they have also, on important points, harmonized our thoughts and achieved progress in agreement.” ANSWER: Saint Paul tells us:

33 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather REPROVE them.”

(Ephesians 5, 11)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3.) “The first statement on common conclusions might be developed in more explicit form or be published in a reduced form. It would be a happy means of maintaining the religious interest of our respective flocks. According to my humble opinion, however, it would be inopportune to publish the statement on disputable points.” ANSWER: Saint Paul warns us: “But we renounce the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor

adulterating the Word of God; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to

ever man’s conscience, in the sight of God.“ (2 Corinthians 4, 2)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4.) “Faithful to our original purpose, we must bring to light progressively whatever favours reunion, and set aside or defer whatever stands in the way.” ANSWER: Why defer what stands in the way? Why defer the truth of God? “And you shall

know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8, 32)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5.) “We had in mind the supreme wish for reunion, for unity expressed by our divine Saviour: Ut unum sint: Oh! If they could only be but one! We set to work without knowing either when or how this union hoped for by Christ could be realized, but convinced that it could be realized since Christ willed it, . . .” ANSWER: This supposed “Cardinal” of the “Catholic Church” shows himself to be ignorant of the true meaning of the unity of the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church is ONE precisely because of the prayer of Christ that they would be ONE. To deny such is to deny the Divinity of Christ Who receives that which He prays for. It is because of the prayer of Jesus Christ that Saint Paul can say:

34 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

“One body and one Spirit: as you are called in one hope of your calling. One Lord, one

faith, one baptism. One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in us all.”

(Ephesians 4, 4-6)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6.) “. . . Reunion is not our work, and we may be unable to achieve it, but it is within our power, and consequently within our duty, to prepare it, and pave the way for it.” ANSWER: Jesus Christ says: “Enter ye in at the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leadeth to

destruction, and many there are who go thereat.” (Matthew 7, 13)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7.) “I seem to hear the revered Dean of Wells addressing us in such moving words, at the close of our first meeting: ‘For four centuries, Anglicans and Roman Catholics were only aware of their antagonisms and divisions; they have met for the first time in order better to understand each other, to remove the misunderstandings which estrange them, to draw nearer to the goal so wished for by everyone; reunion.’”

ANSWER: Saint Paul again makes answer: “Walk with wisdom towards them that are without, redeeming the time. Let your speech

be always in the grace seasoned with salt: that you may know how you ought to answer every

man.” (Colossians 4, 4-5)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Were Pius XI and “Cardinal” Mercier ignorant of basic Catholic doctrines? Did they not know that Protestant sects: “have no bond of union, no common faith, no common worship, no common government; they are disjointed fragments which never can coalesce into one body. ALL THE VARIOUS PROJECTS FOR BRINGING ABOUT A REUNION, WHICH HAVE BEEN SUCCESSIVELY TRIED BY THE WISEST AND BEST MEN IN THE VARIOUS PROTESANT COMMUNIONS, HAVE RESULTED IN THE MOST SIGNAL FAILURE. THERE ARE SEEDS OF DISSENSION IN THE VERY BOSOM OF THE

35 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

PROTESTANT SYSTEM, WHICH DAILY BRING FORTH BEFORE OUR OWN EYES THE BITTER FRUITS OF NEW SECTS AND DIVISIONS”. (“Evidences of Catholicity”, Archbishop Spalding, pages 183-184, 1875 edition)

Pius XI did, indeed, write an “Encyclical” on ecumenism which, on first sight, appears to be Catholic. He gives the faithful an ambiguous and hypocritical betrayal of their souls into the traps of Satan by saying one thing and doing another or doing one thing then saying another. His entire reign can be described as obscure and insincere. This mode of destruction becomes more manifest with Pius XI and will completely unmask itself with Pius XII.

DIU SATIS AND THE DEFENCE OF THE TEMPORAL POWER:

Pope Pius VI (1775-1799) suffered valiantly and died in exile at the hands of Napoleon who wanted to tear away the Temporal Power from the Papacy. His successor, Pope Pius VII (1800-1823) who also was apprehended gave us a description of the crosses his predecessor had to carry in his first Encyclical:

DIUS SATIS:

“Later ages will be amazed at the wisdom, magnanimity, and firmness of Our

predecessor Pius VI. We could wish that We had also inherited his courage which

withstood unshaken the blows of every storm and misfortune. . .

He was driven from his See and from the City, stripped of his rule, his rank, and his

entire fortune. As soon as he arrived in any peaceful place, he was forced to move. Despite

his advanced age and an illness which prevented his walking, he was banished to a remote

land and repeatedly threatened with an even more painful exile. Without the assistance

offered by the pious generosity of individuals, he would not have had food for himself and

his few attendants. Although he was tempted daily in his weakened and lonely state, he

never surrendered his integrity. No deceit could trick, no fear perturb, no promises

conquer, no difficulties or dangers break him. His enemies could extract from him no sign

36 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

which would not prove to all that Peter “until this time and forever lives in his successors

and exercises judgment as is particularly clear in every age” as an excellent writer at the

Council of Ephesus says.”

Pope Pius VII himself suffered under Napoleon I: “The minister of the Pope shall tell his own tale: ‘I rushed,’ writes Cardinal Pacca, ‘into the apartment of the Holy Father, and as we met, each pronounced the words of Our Savior, Consummatum est. It is difficult to describe my feelings, but the sight of the Holy Father, who preserved an unalterable tranquility, both greatly edified me and restored my courage. A few minutes later my nephew brought me a copy of the Imperial decree. The Pope rose and followed me to the window to hear me read it. I tried to overcome the first pain of the moment, and to

read with attention this important document, by which the measures we had to take were to be regulated, but my just and deep indignation at the sacrilege that hour consummated, the presence close to me, before my face, of my unfortunate Sovereign, the Vicar of Jesus Christ, waiting to hear from my mouth his sentence of dethronement, the calumnies which at the first glance of my eye I saw in this impious decree, the continual roar of the cannon which announced with insulting triumph the most iniquitous

sacrilege, -- all this so deeply moved me, and so much affected my sight, that I was unable to read without frequent interruption and a half-choked voice, the principal articles of the decree. Then, attentively watching the Pope, I saw his countenance affected at the first words, and remarked the signs, not of fear or dejection, but of an indignation only too natural. By degrees he recovered himself and listened to what I read with great calmness and resignation. When it was finished the Holy Father went

37 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

to the table, and without saying a word, signed the copies of a protest in Italian which was stuck up in Rome the night following.

A Bull of Excommunication was drawn up by Cardinal Pietro and posted on the walls of Rome in a manner worthy of description:

“… a man who carried on his back a large barrel like those in which wine is carried at Rome. He leaned his burden against the wall, as if to relieve himself of its weight; while he thus stood a boy who was concealed in the barrel opened a small door which had been prepared in it, and pasted the paper on the wall. When the man moved on it was left behind, and yet he had not so much as turned his eyes towards the wall.”

The Publication of this Bull was immediately followed by the seizing of the Pope: “To avoid disorder, he gave orders that the door of the room should be opened. Then Radet came in, not yet knowing either where or in whose presence he was; but he soon discovered it by the manner of the men who followed him, some of whom (not to mention him who acted as guide) were Romans, to whom the person of the Holy Father was known. Finding that he was in the Presences, Radet took off his hat, and sending back most of his band caused to enter one by one the greater part of the officers of his suit and some non-commissioned officers of gendarmerie, who, silently gliding in at the half-opened door and along the wall of the apartment, ranged themselves in order, with drawn swords and arms grounded, on his right and left. Thus the room was occupied by two groups drawn up facing each other. At the head of the one General Radet, his hat in his hand, booted and spurred, his sword at his side, in the attitude of a military man who has just been taking a place by assault, but perfectly respectful, and at his side a dozen Frenchmen, officers commissioned an

38 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

non-commissioned, with whom were mixed two or three officers of the Roman civic guard, who were followed by some of the dregs of the people. Opposite to him the Pope, in an ecclesiastical habit as simple as possible, wearing on his finger the Pontifical ring which Pius VI had worn during his captivity in France, the two Cardinals seated by him, and behind him a group made up of the principal servants of his household. Each party looked at the other, and silence lasted for more than five minutes. It was evident that General Radet was much disconcerted. He could not without difficulty recover his self-control; it seemed that he wished to speak, but the words would not come. At last he came forward a few steps, bowed low, and said to his Holiness that he had to perform a painful mission - - a mission imposed on him by his oath and by the sacred duties of his position. At these words the Pope stood up, and looking at him with dignity, said, “What do you want with me? And why have you come at such an hour to

disturb my rest and my house?”

“Most Holy Father,” replied General Radet, “I come in the name of my Government, to repeat to your Holiness the proposal of giving up your temporal power. If your Holiness consents to this, I have no doubt matters can be arranged, and the Emperor will treat your Holiness with the greatest respect.” Pius VII replied, “If you have felt yourself bound to execute such orders of your

Emperor because of your oath of fidelity and obedience, consider the duty

imposed on us - - on us, We say, - - to maintain the rights of the Holy See, to

which we are bound by oaths so numerous. We have no power either to yield

or abandon what is not our own. The Temporalities belong to the Church, and

we are merely the administrator. The Emperor may have power to tear us in

pieces, but that he will not obtain from us. After all that we have done for him,

could we look for treatment such as this?”

Radet was more and more disconcerted. “I know, Holy Father,that the Emperor is under great obligations to you.”

39 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

“Yes; and more than you are aware of. But, to cut this short, what are your

orders?”

“Most Holy Father, I regret the commission imposed upon me; but since such is the resolution of your Holiness, I am compelled to say that my orders are to conduct you with me.” At these orders the Holy Father, who till then had maintained the most dignified tone, suddenly addressed himself to Radet and said, with an air of tenderness and compassion, “Indeed my son, that commission is not one to bring down on you the

Divine Blessing.” Then, lifting his eyes to heaven, “This then, is the return made to

me for all that I have done for your Emperor. This is the reward for my great

concessions towards himself and towards the Church of France. But perhaps

God has seen that I have committed a fault in them. It is His will to punish me,

and I submit with all humility.”

“He then took only his Breviary, and the Crucifix which he usually carried hanging at his breast. Then, leaning on Radet’s arm and followed by Cardinal Pacca, he went down the great staircase of the Quirinal. On reaching the great doors, Pius VII stood still, and gave his blessing to Rome. . . None of the population of Rome were either there or at the windows. It was four in the morning, and profound silence reigned everywhere.” (“The Dublin Review”, Pius VII and Napoleon I, Volume XVI, 1871, Excerpts from Pages 275-302)

It is interesting to note Napoleon had offered the Pope 2 million Francs per year to compensate for the loss of the Temporal Power (“The Life of Napoleon I, Including New Materials from the British Official Records, volume 2). The offer of money would later be accepted, as we will soon point out in this article, by Antipope Pius XI. Is it not remarkable to souls who call themselves Catholic today that Pius VII would defend

the Temporal Power with these words: “We have no power either to yield or abandon what is not our own. The Temporalities belong to the Church, and we are merely the administrator” Yet “Pius XI” would later betray the Church for 1.75 Billion Italian dollars? There are not clearer signs than this of “Pius XI” having no help from the Holy Ghost, being an Antipope Judas. Yet, no matter how clear the signs are, those who call themselves Catholics today entertain a culpable ignorance of Catholic History, pray in the false religion of Antichrist, and mire in a

40 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

darkened intellect, while believing themselves to be true Catholics and what they are taught to be of true Catholicity.

The Papal States were restored to the Pope at the Congress of Vienna. The Pope offered a refuge in his capital to the members of the defeated Bonaparte family. Napoleon’s mother, Letitia, lived there. The fire of Divine Charity returned to Rome but soon another menace came to wrench the Temporal Power from Pope Pius IX and advance the complete downfall of mankind, succumbing to Antichrist and his false prophets.

BETRAYAL OF THE TEMPORAL POWER

In 1929 few, if any, knew of these Infallible words of Pope Pius IX in 1870: Respicientes: “We are determined to retain all the dominions of this Holy See and its rights whole,

entire, and unviolated, and to transmit them to Our successors. We declare all usurpations

to be unjust, violent, null, and void. We announce now that any acts committed by Our

enemies and invaders to confirm these usurpations-either at the present time or in the

future- are condemned by Us and null and invalid. Furthermore, We protest before God

and the whole Catholic world that while detained in such captivity, We are unable to

exercise Our supreme pastoral authority safely, expediently, and freely… We declare

openly, mindful of Our office and Our oath, that We will never assent to a conciliation or

an agreement which in any way may destroy or diminish Our rights and therefore those of

God and the Holy See. In like manner We confess that for the Church of Christ We are

prepared, with the help of divine grace, to drink to the dregs that cup which the Lord first

deigned to drink for Her. We will never accept and obey unjust demands which are

presented to Us. And indeed as Our predecessor Pius VII said: “To do violence to this

highest power of the Apostolic See, to disjoin its temporal authority and its

spiritual power, to disassociate, separate by force and cut off the duties of

Pastor and Prince, is nothing less than to overturn and destroy the work of

41 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

God. It is nothing less than to attempt to inflict the greatest damage on religion and to

deprive it of its most effective defense. Then the highest Ruler of the Church would be

unable to offer help to the Catholics spread all over the earth, who request his help and

support because of his spiritual power.”

In his first “Encyclical” Pius XI, like his fellow cabal of Rampolla, Benedict XV, spoke of his willingness to betray the Papal States into the hands of Italy. In 1929 the moment had now come for the new church of Antichrist to strip off the dominions of the Papacy. “The Tablet” records it like this which we edit in order to point out specifics. Go to their website, thetablet.co.uk for the entire segment: “Much interest attaches to an Article declaring that the Vatican City wishes to, and will, remain outside all matters of temporal competition between other States, and international congresses for that purpose, unless the parties to a conflict appeal unanimously to its peaceful offices. The Holy See reserves in any case the right to exercise moral and spiritual power. The Vatican territory itself is declared neutral and inviolable. On the financial side a Convention declares that the Holy See ACCEPTS A SUM OF 1,750,000,000 Lire in cash and bonds as a final settlement with Italy on account of its financial relations consequent upon the LOSS OF THE TEMPORAL POWER.” (“The Tablet”, February 16, 1929, page 14)

Nobody remembered the words of Pope Pius VII: “…, to disjoin its temporal authority and its spiritual power, to

disassociate, separate by force and cut off the duties of Pastor and

Prince, is nothing less than to overturn and destroy the work of God.”

– Pope Pius VII

Only the workings of Antichrist could sign away the Temporal Power of the Pope. This signing away, of course, is absolutely invalid, null and void. To betray Catholicity for 1.75 BILLION Italian dollars is to betray Christ in the same manner as Judas Iscariot.

42 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

PROMOTER OF EUGENICS

In the “Encyclical” called “Casti Connubii” Pius XI speaks ambiguously and with hypocrisy on the topic of Eugenics. At one point he says this:

“What is asserted in favor of the social and eugenic “indication” may and must be accepted, provided lawful and upright methods are employed within the proper limit; but to wish to put forward reasons based upon them for the killing of the innocent is unthinkable and contrary to the divine precept promulgated in the words of the Apostle: Evil is not to be done that good may come of it.” A little while later he says:

“Public magistrates have no direct power over the bodies of their subjects; therefore, where no crime has taken place and there is no cause present for grave punishment, they can never directly harm, or tamper with the integrity of the body, either for the reasons of eugenics or for any other reason.” Pius XI tells us the matrimonial contract should not be refused to anybody although it is sometimes good to dissuade them for the cause of eugenics:

“Although often these individuals are to be dissuaded from entering into matrimony, certainly it is wrong to brand men with the stigma of crime because they contract marriage, on the ground that, despite the fact that they are in every respect capable of matrimony, they will give birth only to defective children, even though they use all care and diligence.” In other words: Dissuade them but if they contract marriage then it’s okay. After all, they may adopt an attitude of eugenics themselves! Confusing? It was confusing to the secular world as is indicated in the book “Preaching Eugenics” by Christine Rosen: “The Pope’s condemnation of the eugenics movement and birth control were not of a piece. Although the encyclical thoroughly rejected birth control, its disapproval of eugenics suggested a rejection of the methods eugenicists employed (such as sterilization and birth control) but not necessarily eugenic aims. Indeed, in the opening sentence of the passage dealing with eugenics, the Pope stated, “What is asserted in favor of the social and eugenic ‘indication’ may and must be accepted provided lawful and upright methods are employed

43 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

within the proper limits.” And, as noted in the excerpt above he conceded that the eugenicists’ efforts to ensure the health of future generations “is not contrary to right reason.” Nevertheless, the encyclical harshly criticized the eugenics movement not only for its use of objectionable means, but for its misplaced priorities.”

A short while later the commentary continues:

As for its clarification of the Catholic position on sterilization or birth control, “Commonweal” summarized the encyclical’s spirit best: “Rome has spoken, and the case is closed. ”But what, exactly, had Rome said?...”

The book goes on to say how the “Catholic” world at the time of the encyclical believed it to be a complete repudiation of eugenics. In hindsight it appears to be a strong defense of what is right combined with an ambiguous hypocrisy in order to confuse minds. It did just that which is evidenced by the statement: ”But what, exactly, had Rome said?...” Pius XI had said exactly what he intended to say in order to continue the subtle corruption of Catholic morals. Ambiguous hypocrisy in an encyclical is not a sign of Infallibility.

Father Thomas Francis Knox explains Papal Infallibility:

“The special form which the Sovereign Pontiffs may choose to adopt when they teach the Universal Church is, from the nature of the case, a matter of indifference so long as they address all the faithful, and require submission of the intellect to their decrees. It may be by Bull, or Brief, or Encyclical, or in a Consistorial Allocution. All these forms have been and are still used. Again, they may direct their decree to the Universal Church in express terms, or they may do so equivalently by writing to a particular church or even to an individual, provided always they take measures to insure the subsequent promulgation of their decree to all the faithful. The well-known dogmatic letter of Saint Leo I to Saint Flavian is an instance in point. They may also extract propositions from documents which they had previously addressed to particular bishops or even to laymen, and by a new act of promulgation make these propositions obligatory upon the assent of every Christian. An example of this is furnished by the syllabus of errors put forth by Pius IX in 1864.” (“When does the Church speak Infallibly?” Father Thomas Knox, 1870 edition pages 93-94)

44 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

Pius XI was addressing the faithful in express terms in the “Encyclical” Casti Connubii which would indicate an Infallible teaching. Then he becomes ambiguous, a tactic to be used even more aggressively in the reign of the next antipope, Pius XII.

THE BROADENING PATH TO “VATICAN II”

In the “Encyclical” Divini Cultus, Pius XI ends the silent adoration of the Blessed Sacrament in Church, practiced by the Catholic faithful for centuries. The “Liturgical Revolution” had been raging since the deliberate misinterpretation of Pope Pius X’s Encyclical “Tra le Sollecitudini”. Divini Cultus, with its continued ambiguities, helped to fuel the fire of destruction which would lead to the new “Mass” and antipope Paul VI’s condemnation of reciting the Rosary during Mass. Divini Cultus let loose cunning novelties against the Encyclical Tra le Sollecitudini of Pope Pius X. Pope Pius X gave instruction on sacred music in Church. Not only were copies of “Tra le Sollecitudini” being printed with inadequate translations, now Pius XI was adding to the problem by issuing an “Encyclical” reinterpreting and contradicting Pope Pius X. A common strategy of these Antipopes is to praise the words and actions of former Popes. They praise the Saints, preach true doctrine and finally they insert ambiguities with false doctrine usually, but not always, about three quarters through their “Encyclical”. More modern day Antipopes are not as underhanded and sneaky as the first three. There is less reason to be underhanded when souls are chained up in the dungeon of Apostasy as they are in our days. It has become necessary to appear Catholic only occasionally in order to keep “traditional Catholics” content. In the Old Testament, over the course of years, a Prophet would be replaced with another Prophet and so it is with the false prophet of the Antichrist and it has been so now since 1914 only it becomes more and more evident as the years go by how Satanic the whole edifice really is. Pius XI praises Pope Pius X in Divini Cultus. He then sets up the end of his letter by appealing to examples of the Liturgy in the early history of the Church – a common theme of the Novus Ordo religion. The big move for change and the broadening path to the eventual changes of “Vatican II” came with these words:

Pius XI in Divini Cultus:

45 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

“In order that the faithful may more actively participate in divine worship, let them be made once more to sing Gregorian Chant, so far as it belongs to them to take part in it. It is most important that when the faithful assist at the sacred ceremonies, or when pious sodalities take part with the clergy in a procession, they should not be merely detached and silent spectators, but filled with a deep sense of the beauty of the Liturgy, they should sing alternately with the clergy or the choir, as it is prescribed. If this is done, then it will no longer happen that the people either make no answer at all to the public prayers –whether language of the Liturgy or in the vernacular – or at best utter responses in a low and subdued manner.” Pope Pius X said:

“With the exception of melodies proper to the celebrant at the altar and to the ministers,

which must be always sung in Gregorian Chant, and without accompaniment of the organ,

all the rest of the liturgical chant belongs to the choir of Levites (Priests), and,

therefore, singers in the church, even when they are laymen, are really taking

the place of ecclesiastical choir…

On the same principle it follows that singers in church have a real liturgical office, and

that therefore women, being incapable of exercising such office, cannot be

admitted to form part of the choir. Whenever, then, it is desired to employ the acute

voices of sopranos and contraltos, these parts must be taken by boys, according to the most

ancient usage of the Church.

Finally, only men of known piety and probity of life are to be admitted to form part of

the choir of a church, and these men should by their modest and devout bearing during the

liturgical functions show that they are worthy of the holy office they exercise. It will also be

fitting that singers while singing in the church wear the ecclesiastical habit and

surplice, and that they be hidden behind gratings when the choir is

excessively open to the public gaze.”

46 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

So even with a translation that cannot apparently be completely trusted for accuracy we see a contradiction between Pope Pius X and Antipope Pius XI. Pope Pius X teaches women are not to sing in Church or be in choirs. Men and boys may sing when they are a part of the choir whereas Antipope Pius XI orders all people to sing in church. Pope Pius X seeks to keep the Liturgy sacred: “In general it must be considered a very grave abuse when the liturgy in ecclesiastical

functions is made to appear secondary to and in a manner at the service of the music, for

the music is merely a part of the liturgy and its humble handmaid”

Antipope Pius XI alludes to this when he communicates this contradiction:

“…..they should not be merely detached and silent spectators, but filled with a deep sense of the beauty of the Liturgy, they should sing alternately with the clergy or the choir” Do you understand the contradiction? Pope Pius X orders silence at Mass from the Laity. Pius XI orders singing from the Laity. And this AFTER profusely praising the Encyclical of Pope Pius X!

We cannot overlook the fact that Pius XI’s promoting “active participation” of the Laity gave a huge push for the Liturgical Revolution and was one of the corner stones for the new religion to be unveiled at “Vatican II”. This was not the workings of the Infallible beacon of light established by Our Lord Jesus Christ. Gone were the glorious days of Rome when the Pope resided there.

THE THWARTED MESSAGES OF FATIMA

Divini Cultus was released in 1928. The frog in the pot still paid no heed to the slowly rising temperature. Then came the betrayal of the Papal States and denial of the Temporal Power which was ratified on June 7, 1929. It is narrated how on June 13, 1929 Jesus Christ Crucified appeared before Sister Lucia of Fatima with the Blessed Virgin Mary standing beneath Him and God the Father and Holy Ghost above. The image drawn up according to Sister Lucia’s description can be viewed on the right hand side of page 50. In this apparition it is reported that the Virgin Mary told Lucia she has come now to ask for the consecration of Russia to her Immaculate Heart. It is unknown if the Satanic powers that were rushing head long into “Vatican II” and the foundation of a new religion added or took away from the words of Our Lady but she is reported to have said: “The moment has come in which God asks the Holy Father to make, in union with all

the bishops of the world, the consecration of Russia to My Immaculate Heart, promising to

save it by this means. So numerous are the souls which the justice of God condemns for

sins committed against Me, that I come to ask for reparation. Sacrifice yourself for this

intention and pray.”

The essential message of Fatima is that we pray the Rosary and do penance. In fact, Francisco Marto was unable to hear the words of the Virgin Mary in the apparitions until he prayed the Rosary: A clear indication that the Rosary had been given great power to enlighten the soul in the coming days of darkness. This is adequate provision for the spiritual life: A great devotion to the Rosary and the Immaculate Heart of Mary while in the bosom of the Church . Everything else about Fatima has been subject to the lies of the spirit of Antichrist. As a consequence we cannot entirely believe what we read. In fact, a request of the Virgin Mary for the “Holy Father” to consecrate Russia around 1929 seems a denial of the Infallibility of the Pope as the Antipopes had already been showing themselves naked in that matter. There was no Pope. The Virgin Mary cannot deny the Infallibility of the Pope. These men, Antipopes Benedict XV, Pius XI & Pius XII were guiding souls slowly toward a degradation and dissipation of the Catholic Faith in a slow and subtle manner at first but then at an ever quickening pace. This isn’t too difficult to understand given the fundamental foundation of Antichrist’s new religion was being laid in a clever and determined way. Few souls could see it. There are only two options:

48 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

1.) The Virgin Mary appeared at Fatima and spoke against the Infallible Vatican Council (1870) regarding the Infallibility of the Pope by calling those men “the Holy Father” aka the Pope.

Or 2.) She appeared at Fatima but most of what she said has never reached us without being tampered with by the evil spirit that was even then overwhelming Rome and the world. Her words were sabotaged. The only remedy, the only antidote, is a hunger for truth and the knowledge, understanding and wisdom given only by the Holy Ghost regarding the definition of Infallibility which is acquired by prayer, penance and fasting. Here, with all probability, is a semblance of what actually happened: Our Lady of La Salette repeated twice in her message to Melanie Calvat, “The Holy

Father will have much to suffer” or “The Holy father will suffer a great deal”

depending on different translations but the meaning is the same. The Holy Father at the time of the apparition in 1846 was Pope Pius IX. He was followed by Pope Leo XIII and Pope Pius X. Good readers, please look closely at their Pontificates. They were literally riddled with suffering at the hands of evil men. We are led to believe at Fatima the Virgin Mary told us many, many times: “The Holy Father will have much to suffer”. In comparison to the three Popes after the apparition of La Salette, where is/was the suffering?? Antipope Benedict XV right up to Antipope Francis have had nothing at all to suffer. Somebody came up with this lie. Something’s amiss. Something sinister has thwarted the message of Our Lady at Fatima. It has added to her words. The interview of Sister Lucia of Fatima with Father Fuentes is quite the eye opener. This was an impromptu interview that wasn’t well regulated by wicked men. In this interview Sister Lucia tells us: “Father, you have to tell people that they should not wait from the Pope a call to repentance and prayer, nor from the Bishops or the Priests, nor from the superiors in general. It is time for each, on its own initiative, to accomplish holy works and reform their lives according to the calls of the Maddona!”

This would be blasphemy if we had a Pope, Bishops and Priests as it is the Divinely founded way in which God conveys His graces to men. This is common knowledge, just open any old catechism. Sister Lucia spoke this way in an uncontrolled interview because there was no Pope to rely on in 1957. Not since 1914!! A poor woman from Portugal who had no knowledge of any other language besides Portuguese would know little if anything about the active thwarting of the message of Fatima in other countries and languages. How could she stop it?

Over and over again the thwarted message of Fatima repeats “The Holy Father will have much to suffer.” Something evil was playing copycat with the message of La Salette. But Sister Lucia came out valiantly in 1957 and blew apart the fake additions and deleted truths to tell us we have no Pope. The Holy Father will have much to suffer??? – WHAT HOLY FATHER?? It is because of this interview Masonry killed Sister Lucia and shortly after found Mr. Nicholas Gruner to pose as a persecuted priest whom people can sympathize with. His sympathizers still to this day drink in the venom of his false narrative. “Traditional Catholics” aka Gallicanists, like to say apparitions

are not dogma so we don’t have to believe it. Never mind the Mother of God, the queen of prophets, came to us with an urgent message! If the people of Ninevah had such an attitude toward Jonah the Prophet that incident would have turned out much different. This false attitude encourages sloth, indifferentism and willful ignorance toward the messages of the Mother of God, making it possible for evil men to incorporate the lies. One thing is glaring at us straight in the face: Benedict XV, Pius XI and Pius XII all were contradicting the Popes before them and contradicting themselves. We understand now how in hindsight they were paving the road for the new religion of “Vatican II”. It is impossible that they were Popes at all because they were not Infallible in Faith and Morals. The only reasonable and Catholic conclusion is that the various predictions that the “Holy Father would “have much to suffer” have somehow been added to the overall story. Many times it is recorded that the Virgin Mary said “the Church AND THE HOLY FATHER will have much to suffer.” In the “Apocalypse of Saint John” by Father Berry it is recorded how the Church would have much to suffer without her Divinely appointed leader. It isn’t hard to understand the Virgin Mary saying: “The Church will have much to suffer.” Wicked men added “and the Holy Father” in order to deceive our minds into believing those wicked Antipopes were actual

50 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

Popes. Then they made up a scenario with “Cardinal” Siri to fill in the loopholes. Cardinal Siri was set up and apparently unsuspecting of their evil intentions to call him the “Pope in hiding” or the “Pope in exile” after his death. However, they had to fill in the loopholes and send our minds away from the conclave of 1914 by making it seem as if Siri was fulfilling prophecy. It is entirely possible Jacinta Marto’s visions of a Pope in agony was Pope Pius X who had died some 4 years earlier, having been apparently murdered as we pointed out earlier. This is conjecture but it is plausible, given the facts. The apparition in question occurred around 1929. The vision seems likely to be a true one for Sister Lucia would have had to approve of the picture. The Virgin Mary appeared to Lucia and communicated something. Jesus appearing crucified gives a strong indication the priesthood of the Catholic Church was starting to die off. This is because there was no Pope. In the 1800’s Jesus appeared to Sister Marie of Saint Peter in order to promote the Holy Face devotion – symbolic of the Catholic Church then carrying the heavy cross of attacks from evil men. When Saint Veronica wiped the face of Jesus He was carrying the Cross. Likewise when Christ appeared crucified to Sister Lucia it corresponded with the crucifixion of the Catholic Church then taking place. We cannot know with surety what the Virgin Mary communicated to Sister Lucia as we were already well into the days of Antichrist. Maxim of La Salette and Pope Pius X warned us of Antichrist. If Our Lady asked for the consecration of Russia to her Immaculate Heart she did so knowing it wasn’t going to be done and it was actually impossible. Did she make that request to help open our eyes to the fact the Papacy had been taken from us? The Queen of Prophets came and the Pope, the representative of Christ on Earth, turned his back on her? This is unheard of from a man who is strong in the Catholic Faith, being Infallible in Faith and Morals – the beacon of truth! Did the Virgin Mary want Catholics to understand this and fly from the new edifice being built up? We realize how so many people have been led to believe an entirely different story and we are paddling against the stream here but the definition of Infallibility, again, is very important to know in order to smell this rat. We don’t pretend to have all the answers but there are some self-evident answers. It’s time to face the reality!

51 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

Pius XI would surely not want to violate his new contract in which he gained $1.75 BILLION Lira (dollars) in order to obey the Mother of God who we are led to believe was asking for the consecration of Russia to her Immaculate Heart. If Pius XI had done so it would have exposed him as an Antipope as no conversion would have taken place. Also, it would have breached this part of the contract which “The Tablet” recorded in February of 1929: “Much interest attaches to an Article declaring that the Vatican City wishes to, and will, remain outside all matters of temporal competition between other States, and international congresses for that purpose, unless the parties to a conflict appeal unanimously to its peaceful offices. The Holy See reserves in any case the right to exercise moral and spiritual power. The Vatican territory itself is declared neutral and inviolable.”

Our Lady communicated this “something” to sister Lucia around 1929 because of the betrayal of the Liturgy and the Papal States, the temporal power, during that time by Antipope Pius XI who we are now considering. Then again in 1931 Heaven is said to have communicated to Sister Lucia a stern warning because the consecration had not been accomplished. There are two different versions of this “locution”. Nobody seems to notice it! The first quote is an obvious hoax since Our Lord would be speaking against the Infallibility of the Pope, as we have pointed out with the example on the Virgin

Mary. Once again “the Holy Father will have much to suffer” emerges. This is a lie! The second quote is more likely what Our Lord would have communicated to Sister Lucia. We put in bold what is likely an addition to the real thing in the first quote if there ever was such a “locution” at all. A “locution” is hard to validate. Somebody could have made it up: 1.) “They did not want to heed my request! Like the King of France they will repent and do it, but it will be late. Russia will have already spread its errors throughout the world, provoking wars and persecutions against the church: the Holy Father will have much to suffer.” 2.) “Make it known to my ministers that, given they follow the King of France in delaying the execution of my request, that they follow him into misfortune. It will never be too late to have recourse to Jesus and Mary.”

52 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

The message of Fatima appears badly distorted when compared with the definition of the Infallibility of the Pope. Because of this one can also understand the message in general having the fingerprints of distortion all over it. For example, it is related how after some hesitation, Sister Lucia is said to have penned two Secrets of Fatima in 1941, being ordered to do so by her “Bishop”. If it is true and she had hesitation the question would be why? Knowing the TRUE secrets did she doubt the validity of her “Bishop”? Does not a Bishop deserve complete and prompt obedience? There are varying answers to that question. One can only speculate the details. However, the second secret has the markings of distortion all over it. We provide it for you here in its entirety with the obvious lies in bolded highlights. If these highlights are removed you have a solid Catholic passage: “You have seen hell where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to

establish in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If what I say to you is done many

souls will be saved and there will be peace. The war is going to end: but if people do not

cease offending God, a worse one will break out during the Pontificate of Pope Pius

XI. When you see a night illumined by an unknown light, know that this is the great sign

given you by God that he is about to punish the world for its crimes, by means of war,

famine and persecutions of the Church and of the Holy Father. To prevent this, I shall

come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart, and the Communion

of reparation on the First Saturdays. If my requests are heeded, Russia will be converted,

and there will be peace; if not, she will spread her errors throughout the world, causing

wars and persecutions and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred; the

Holy Father will have much to suffer; various nations will be annihilated. In the end

my Immaculate Heart will triumph. The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me,

and she shall be converted, and a period of peace will be granted to the world.”

This particular secret was not disclosed until August of 1941. In addition to the obvious departure from Catholic truth regarding the prerogatives of the Papacy, would the Virgin Mary want to sensationalize the Church by naming a future “Pope”, Pius XI? Remember, the apparition took place in 1917. Antipope Pius XI started his reign in 1922. Also, World War II had its forgoing provocations but is generally recognized as beginning on September 1, 1939, when Germany invaded Poland: already into the reign of Antipope Pius XII, not Pius XI. There are incredible discrepancies in the thwarted message of Fatima but Our Lady did communicate to us the most important: Prayer and Penance. Satan knows the weakness of mankind would

53 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

focus more on the sensationalistic material added to the secrets and sure enough, Prayer and Penance is hardly spoken of from today’s so-called “Catholics”. This much we can say with the peace of a good conscience while still invoking Our Lady of Fatima to pray for us! We know absolutely that Pius XI was slowly suffocating the faith of unwary souls. He betrayed the Temporal Power, he promoted eugenics and interfered with the Sacred Liturgy while making it look as if Pope Pius X himself is the one who began the Liturgical Revolution and he was only giving it a helping hand!

PIUS XII: A DISCIPLE OF RAMPOLLA

“Pope Leo (XIII) decided he needed a corps of trained diplomats to represent the Holy See. He instructed Cardinal Rampolla to recruit likely candidates and to school them. One of the first names the Pope proposed to Cardinal Rampolla was that of Eugenio Pacelli. After receiving his instructions from Cardinal Rampolla, Monsignor Gasparri paid his portentous visit to Pacelli…” (“Crown of Glory” by Alden Hatch and Seamus Walshe, 1956 edition, page 53) That instance occurred in 1899 and puts to light the schooling of Eugenio Pacelli, “Pius XII”, by the likes of Mariano Rampolla and his ilk. In his early years as a diplomat Eugenio Pacelli delivered condolences on behalf of the Vatican to Edward VII of the United Kingdom after the death of Queen Victoria, represented the Holy See at the coronation of King George V and was appointed Nuncio to Germany and after the completion of the concordat with Bavaria the nunciature was moved to Berlin. This concordat, called Reichskonkordat, is the most wicked of several concordats between Germany and other nations that the Vatican Antipope government negotiated during the reign of Antipope Pius XI. It is commonly debated in works that deal with the rise of Hitler in the early 1930’s. The Concordat has been described by some as giving moral legitimacy to the Nazi regime. The treaty places constraints on the political activity of German clergy of the Catholic Church. Antipope Pius XII succeeded in keeping this concordat in force after World War II and it is still in force today. The future “Pius XII” was schooled under Mariano Rampolla’s freemasonic governance. He was now a skillful worker for the darkness. However, the focus here is on what he did while posing as Pope and exposing his lack of Infallibility according to the definition of the Vatican Council (1870).

54 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

One more point to make: Eugenio Pacelli was consecrated a “Bishop” on May 13, 1917 around the same time as the Virgin Mary was appearing at Fatima. The Virgin Mary, the crusher of all heresies, will also one day crush the edifice Eugenio Pacelli worked so feverishly to erect in place of the true bride of Christ, the Catholic Church. Her appearance at that time was no accident but served as a contradiction to the Antichrist and his false consecration taking place that day in Rome.

HUMANI GENERIS: A TICKET TO INDOCTRINATING EVOLUTION

In his “Encyclical” Humani Generis, after asserting his “Infallibility” under the false pretext that there is always SOME kind of truth in Encyclicals, Pius XII tells us we are free to discuss if the human body evolved but we are not free to discuss about the soul:

“For these reasons the Teaching Authority of the Church does not forbid that, in conformity with the present state of human sciences and sacred theology, research and discussions, on the part of men experienced in both fields, take place with regard to the doctrine of evolution, in as far as it inquiries into the origin of the human body as coming from pre-existent and living matter – for the Catholic faith obliges us to hold that souls are immediately created by God. However, this must be done in such a way that the reasons for both opinions, that is, those favorable and those unfavorable to evolution, be weighed and judged with the necessary seriousness, moderation and measure, and provided that all are prepared to submit to the judgment of the Church, to whom Christ has given the mission of interpreting authentically the Sacred Scriptures and of defending the dogmas of faithful…” Did Antipope Pius XII believe Catholics are so ignorant of Sacred Scripture that he could get away with opening up the subject of Evolution as if it were possible to defend? His words were another well devised way of deceiving the minds of whatever Catholics were left in the world. Satan would take his time with this one. It was enough that Pius XII opened up the topic. In 1993 Antipope John Paul II openly declared Evolution as “more than a hypothesis”, making it

55 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

appear as if the Church had judged the matters after 43 years of weighing the evidence between “Encyclicals”. But what these clowns forgot was the Sacred Scriptures:

“And the Lord God said: It is not good for man to be alone; let us make him a help like unto

himself. And the Lord God having formed out of the ground all the beasts of the earth, and all

the fowls of the air brought them to Adam to see what he would call them: for whatsoever

Adam called any living creature the same is its name. And Adam called all the beasts by their

names, and all the fowls of the air, and all the cattle of the field: but for Adam there was not

found a helper like himself. Then the Lord God cast a deep sleep upon Adam: and when he

was fast asleep, he took one of his ribs, and filled up flesh for it. And the Lord God built the rib

which he took from Adam into a woman: and brought her to Adam. And Adam said: This now

is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called woman, because she was taken

out of man. Wherefore a man shall leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and

they shall be two in one flesh.” (Genesis, 2, 18-24)

If man evolved and was just a brute beast before God infused a soul into him in what way did he reproduce without woman? Even brute beasts come in males and females. Also, if God created man as a brute beast and then later in time decided to infuse a soul into the man, changing his nature, God would be contradicting Himself and therefore would not be God because God is unchangeable. Evolution, Pius XII says, is a “doctrine” that must be studied by “men of experience” in both theology and Evolution. Such a man probably never existed except men of novelty who sought only the destruction of Catholic dogma. Given the fact the FALSE doctrine of Evolution began to thrive throughout the world only after the loss of the Papacy in 1914 and the rise of the Antichrist spirit in Rome, we can safely regard Evolution as an irrelevant, Satanic doctrine adopted by the new religion of “Vatican II”. The Reverend F.H. Laing, DD, spoke clear Catholic common sense in an essay he wrote comparing our immortality to the mortality of the Ape. We here record it in excerpts:

“The scope of this paper is not to prove that we are not the offspring of apes. That, I think, may be safely left in the keeping of healthy common sense; at least with those who, though not naturalists, would not renounce the dignity of their rational nature: . . . “When reflecting that we are after all but little removed in structure from the highest vertebrate animals, many will feel rising in their minds a suggestion, such as that which is so eagerly urged upon us by the atheistic and materialistic party, who try to drive us out of our confidence in a future state, by confounding our destiny with that of the ape. . . “

56 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

The “doctrine” of Evolution being atheistic and materialistic, it’s advocates wish to deceive souls into believing:

“Now, the destiny of the other Primates is to die, with no other future, that we know of, but to be mingled with the dust of that same great creation, whose ever-digestive forces grind them down for service into some other requisite forms. Such, then, must be the destiny of the head Primate – Man. . .” “The learned-looking fuss, which some of these pretentions naturalists have raised about man’s animal nature, as if they had made some startling net result. And this reflection may help to make us proof against the pedantic folly, in which they have been laboring so hard to shame us out of an immortal hope, by parading before us the comparison of ourselves with apes.” (“Essays on Religion and Literature”, “The Apes Encroachment of Man’s Likeness”, 1874 edition)

It may be pointed out Pius XII was opening the door to the false doctrine of Evolution of the body but said there was no question the soul was created by God. This may put some people’s guard down but as you can tell from the excerpts of Father Laing, Antipope Pius XII was contradicting himself, a sign he was lacking the guidance of the Holy Ghost, lacking Infallibility. For to admit God created the soul which is meant to attain Eternal life, but open the door to the atheistic and materialistic false doctrine of Evolution of the body, which seeks to shame us out of an immortal hope for future Eternal life, is a clear contradiction. In conclusion, to subscribe to the false doctrine of Antipope Pius XII, to consider the “possibility” that our bodies evolved and the soul was later added to the body of an evolved man, not only blasphemes God by suggesting He is changeable but also calls into question if ever God would change His “mind” again he may at any given moment withdraw souls from our bodies and return us into brute beasts. This is Satanic nonsense.

MYSTICI CORPORIS

In 1943 Pius XII unleashed Mystici Corporis A method of slip and trickery: In this “Encyclical” he boldly declares the entire world to be in the embrace of the Church while denouncing what he calls the “enmity, hatred, and spite (toward other men) as if they enhanced the dignity and the worth of man.” These ambiguous words are in reality condemning those who hold the Catholic Faith above all other religions, those who hate error and do not tolerate it.

57 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

Mystici Corporis: “And first of all let us imitate the breath of His love. For the Church, the Bride of Christ is one;

and yet ¹so vast is the love of the divine Spouse that it embraces in His Bride the whole human race

without exception. Our Savior shed His Blood precisely in order that He might reconcile men to God through the Cross, and might constrain them to unite in one Body, however widely they may differ in nationality and race. True love of the Church, therefore, requires not only that we should be mutually solicitous one for another as members of the same Body, rejoicing in the glory of the

other members and sharing in their suffering, but likewise that we should ²recognize in other men,

although they are not yet joined to us in the Body of the Church, our brothers in Christ according to the flesh, called, together with us, to the same eternal salvation. It is true, unfortunately, especially

today, that ³there are some who extol enmity, hatred, and spite as if they enhanced the dignity

and the worth of man.” (Encyclical: Mystici Corpris, 1943)

¹so vast is the love of the divine Spouse that it embraces in His Bride the whole human race

without exception --- These are definitely ambiguous words aimed at a double meaning. True Popes were never ambiguous in their words. They always spoke Catholic truth fearlessly. And the truth is this: “The Most Holy Roman Church firmly believes, professes and preaches that none of

those existing outside the Catholic Church, not only pagans, also Jews, heretics, and

schismatics can ever be partakers of eternal life, but that they are to go into the eternal fire

‘which was prepared for the devil and his angels’ (Mt. 25:41) unless before death they are

joined with Her. . . No one, let his almsgiving be as great as it may, no one, even if he pour

out his blood for the Name of Christ can be saved unless they abide within the bosom and

unity of the Catholic Church”

– Pope Eugene IV, Council of Florence , Cantate Domino,1441

“The universal Church of the faithful is one outside of which none are saved”

– Pope Innocent III, 4th Lateran Council

58 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

“We declare, say, define, and pronounce that it is absolutely necessary for the salvation

of every human creature to be subject to the Roman Pontiff”

– Pope Boniface VIII, Unam Sanctam, 1302

²recognize in other men, although they are not yet joined to us in the Body of the Church, our

brothers in Christ according to the flesh ---

“For the flesh lusteth against the spirit: and the spirit against the flesh. For these are

contrary one to another: so that you do not the things that you would. Now the works of

the flesh are manifest: which are fornication, uncleanness, immodesty, luxury, Idolatry,

witchcrafts, enmities, contentions, emulations, wraths, quarrels, dissensions, sects,

Envies, murderers, drunkenness, revellings, and such like. Of the which I foretell you, as I

have foretold to you that they who do such things shall not obtain the Kingdom of God.”

(Galatians 5, 17-21)

³there are some who extol enmity, hatred, and spite as if they enhanced the dignity and the

worth of man.” --- The dignity and worth of man was enhanced by the death of Christ on the Cross which we participate in through baptism. In the book of Proverbs the Holy Ghost teaches us: “The just

shall hate a lying word” (Proverbs 13, 5) The ambiguous words of Pius XII on hatred,

combined with his words about the flesh, are as though he intends to say “Do not stand up for Catholic truth amongst men of flesh”. This is ludicrous and subtly suggests to us we take the same path as Lot’s wife – and turn backwards into sin.

DIVINO AFFLANTE SPIRITU

In Divino Afflante Spiritu Antipope Pius XII introduces a new translation of Sacred Scripture with a new Divine Office drawn up primarily by (“Cardinal”) Bea. In this “Encyclical” there are a few opportunities to censure the words of one failing in the Faith. However, only one is necessary to demonstrate the absence of Infallibility as defined by the Vatican Council (1870). Match up the yellow and blue highlighting:

59 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

Pius XII proclaimed:

“. . . Let them bear in mind above all that in the rules and laws promulgated by the Church there is question of doctrine regarding faith and morals; and that in the immense matter contained in the Sacred Books - - legislative, historical, sapiential and prophetical – there are but few texts whose sense has been defined by the authority of the Church, nor are those more numerous about which the teaching of the Holy Fathers is unanimous. There remain therefore many things, and of the greatest importance, in the discussion and exposition of which the skill and genius of Catholic commentators may and ought to be freely exercised, so that each may contribute his part to the advantage of all, to the continued progress of the sacred doctrine and to the defense and honor of the Church.” This Antipope leaves the interpretation of Sacred Scripture up to the “genius of Catholic commentators”. Saint Peter declared otherwise: “Understanding this first: That no prophecy of scripture is made by private interpretation.

For prophecy came not by the will of man at any time: but the holy men of God spoke,

inspired by the Holy Ghost” (2 Peter 1, 20-21)

The Douay Rheims bible comments on this verse of Saint Peter:

“This shows plainly that the scriptures are not to be expounded by any one’s private judgment or private spirit, because every part of the Holy Scriptures was written by men inspired by the Holy Ghost and declared as such by the Church. Therefore they are not to be interpreted but by the Spirit of God, which he hath left and promised to remain with his Church, to guide her in all truth to the end of the world. Some may tell us that many of our divines interpret the scriptures. They may do so: but they do it always with a submission to the judgment of the Church, and not otherwise.”

One article called Pius XII’s “Encyclical”: “…the first official rays of light after the long, dark winter of anti-modernism.” The Antichrist, through the diligent work of his Antipopes, was now unveiling his hideous form in the shape of condemned heresies, disguised under elaborate phrases and receiving praises from a backward society.

THE LITURGICAL REFORMS & A WICKED BETRAYAL

“Benedict XV” was a subtle and mild reformer who advanced slowly as to not be detected. “Pius XI” went from mild to moderate in his innovations. Now it was time for the ugly creature to advance itself at a quicker pace with “Pius XII”. The new religion, the whore of Babylon in the 17th chapter of the Apocalypse, was now quickly being built up in the long process of satanic deception and illusions to culminate in the new religion of “Vatican II”. To help bolster the false religion and prepare people for massive changes soon to come, Antipope Pius XII began making more evident changes both in the Divine Office and the Mass itself. “Father” (later “Cardinal”) Bea was recruited to retranslate the approved Latin Vulgate of the Catholic Church. In the meantime “Cardinal” Bugnini began to dismantle the memory of the Catholic Mass in favor of a fast developing service to worship the son of perdition, the man of sin, as part of the new religion. The Catholic priesthood was dying out and the Satanic edifice was making enduring progress toward completing the structured “church” of Antichrist.

In 1947 Pius XII made an effort to calm the alarm of alert souls by condemning what is often referred to as “The Liturgical Movement”. In his 1947 “Encyclical” Mediator Dei he condemns abuses in a sometimes ambiguous fashion. Yet by 1956 in a speech to the “International Congress on Pastoral Liturgy” he declares: “…the liturgical movement has appeared as a sign of God’s providential dispositions for the present day, as a movement of the Holy Spirit in His Church.” This explains why in 1946 Pius XII had already constructed a group of “specialists” to reform the Liturgy. He was talking out of both sides of his mouth. He was an utterer of twisted lies. A true son of the father of lies! This is not a mark of Papal Infallibility!

In 1950 the stage was set for major changes to the Liturgy. A distraction was in order: On November 1, 1950 Pius XII sought to distract what was left of the Catholic world with the “Encyclical” Munificentissimus Deus which “defined” the dogma of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary into Heaven. He wrote

61 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

this with great caution, wishing to seem Infallible. There is no doubt he had access to the petitions by Bishop Antoninus Monescillo and Archbishop Joseph Dusmet, O.S.B at the Vatican Council in 1870 requesting the solemn definition of the dogma of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This Council was considering the solemn definition already in 1870. In 1950, with Catholics rejoicing over what appeared to be a glorious triumph for the Church, a wicked betrayal was in action. Final preparations were being made for the first major changes in the Liturgy during the Easter Triduum of 1951. As the Liturgical changes progressed between 1951 & 1956 Pius XII decided to make use of the Virgin Mary once again by declaring her Queenship on October 11, 1954 in another “Encyclical” titled Ad Caeli Reginam . Devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary was being used to distract and cause disorientation to souls who were being led like sheep to the slaughter of the religion of Antichrist.

TRUE POPES: INFALLIBLE AS PROTECTOR OF

THE LITURGY Father Thomas Francis Knox left us his heroic book for the laity called “When does the Church speak Infallibly?” This book was praised highly by Pope Pius IX through Carolus Nocella, the Latin Secretary to His Holiness, with these words:

“Reverend Father,

At a time when the eminent zeal and talents of Catholics are busied in asserting the

honour and reverence due to the Chair of Saint Peter and his sovereign authority, our most

holy Lord, Pius IX, saw with joy that you, inflamed with the same affection and desire, had

devoted to the same end your labour and skill in sacred learning. It was, therefore, with

fatherly and gracious heart that he received the present sent by you of your work published

at London, in which you have treated of the infallible authority of the Church, and the

Divine prerogatives of the Apostolic See, with a special view to the instruction and profit of

the Catholic laity. Your gift was the more welcome to him, because it had proceeded from

your admirable piety and zeal for the Catholic religion, as is proved abundantly by the

indication of distinguished devotion and faith in your letter dated the 19th of June.

Delighted with your zeal and endeavors, although a foreign tongue made it impossible for

62 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

him to form any acquaintance with the book itself, the Holy Father wished, through me, to

testify the good-will and fatherly charity with which he greets your homage and sentiments

of fatherly charity with which he greets your homage and sentiments of filial veneration,

and in pledge thereof bestows upon you very lovingly his Apostolic Benediction.

I acquit myself with pleasure of the office entrusted to me; I offer you my congratulations

and assure you of my particular esteem, and beseeching God to grant you every good and

healthful gift, subscribe myself, reverend Father, your devoted servant,

(signed) Carolus Nocella, Latin Secretary to our most Holy Lord, Pius IX, July 6, 1870”

In the book Father Knox explains, “Lex Orandi, lex credendi”: as we are bound to pray; so we are bound to believe. He makes it clear in this way how the Pope is Infallible regarding the sacred Liturgy because the Liturgy is a reflection of the Catholic Faith. The new edifice being built by the likes of Antipope Pius XII was the beginning of a different reflection. A reflection more and more centered on man, not God. On pages 66-67 of Father Knox’s illustrious book he expounds: “In like manner, whatever the Church ordains relative to public worship must be in harmony with the faith. “Lex orandi, lex credendi:” as we are bound to pray; so we are bound to believe. Thus the prayers we offer for the dead impress upon our minds, and so teach us the doctrine of purgatory. The exorcisms used in baptism bear witness to the dogma of original sin. The genuflections to the Most Holy Sacrament help us to realize Christ’s real presence. The doxology, with which we terminate each psalm, reminds us of the mystery of the Ever Blessed Trinity. Hence, through the necessary connection of worship with dogma, we may infer that the sanctity of the Church and her office as teacher of the faith alike require that she should be so far infallible in regard to the worship of God that she cannot command the universal flock to adopt any forms or mode of worship virtually inconsistent with revealed truth. Consequently, the mere fact that the Roman missal, pontifical, breviary, and ritual have been formally approved by the Sovereign Pontiff, and imposed by him as of obligation upon the clergy, is proof sufficient that they contain nothing contrary to faith, morals or piety.“

63 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

Satan knows a true Pope cannot command the universal flock to adopt any forms or mode of worship virtually inconsistent with revealed truth. This is why we hear over and over again the New Mass was never promulgated. It doesn’t take a genius to see that it was indeed promulgated throughout the world but by the agents of Satan in his new religion. Yet most of those calling themselves “Traditional Catholic” today believe it was never promulgated. They are obedient to the commentators who indoctrinate their minds. This is the truth: If the Pius XII Liturgical changes and the New Mass were never promulgated then, knowing the true definition of Papal Infallibility, why would anybody have accepted it? If it was promulgated then it was done so by an Antipope, completely void of the guidance of the Holy Ghost. The same conclusion must be wrought in regards to the man who gave the changes a shove into a horrific frenzy, Antipope Pius XII.

INNOCENT BYSTANDERS?

If one makes a careful search on the Liturgical Reforms they will find many extravagant essays on it. Not a single one of them questions the Reforms in the light of Papal Infallibility. Instead, there are many excuses. “The Pope was tricked” or “Pius XII and Paul VI were influenced by evil men who plotted the destruction of the Church” or “The Pope was an innocent bystander” or “The Pope wasn’t in control” or some such nonsense. REALLY? So these men forced the “Pope” to cooperate in this plot? They forced his will and his mouth? This is nonsense never known in the history of the Church despite many false historians who wish to make you think so. The Prophets of the Old Testament were Infallible when speaking on behalf of God. The prophet Balaam is a prime example. Balac, the King of Moab, sent for the prophet Balaam to curse Israel but Balaam said: “If Balac would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of the Lord my God, to utter anything of my own head either good or evil: but whatsoever the Lord shall say, that I will speak” (Numbers 23, 8-9)

This example of Infallibility was wanting in the actions of Pius XII. It is always absent in every “Pope” after Pope Pius X. In fact, the history of Pope Liberius and his refusal to condemn Saint Athanasius (contrary to the lie the new religion teaches) is an inspiring example of the heroic perseverance of the men who have occupied the Papacy. Go to our website under “Pope Liberius” for more information. Anyway, Pius XII had no such strength nor did he have undying fortitude for Catholic truth!

The structure was erected. Now it was time to draft new laws and disciplines to mock and mimic the Catholic Church whom they crucified.

SISTER LUCIA INTERVIEWED In 1957 Sister Lucia of Fatima, now a cloistered Carmelite nun, gave her last interview. The urgency of the situation was evident. The Catholic Church having been erected upon the Cross, facing a sacrilegious crucifixion, and the Satanic edifice already erected and set to usher in millions of unwary sheep – Sister Lucia spoke out in an interview that was met with satanic rage, the same rage the seer of La Salette, Melanie Culvat, had to face. . . a sure sign of its validity:

INTERVIEW OF SISTER LUCIA WITH FATHER FUENTES

TRANSLATED FROM THE ITALIAN More poignant than the common English (censored) translations

“Father, Our Lady is very displeased because nobody took heed to her message of 1917. Neither the good nor the bad guys have taken into account. “The ‘Good’ continue their path without worrying; not following the rules of heaven. ‘The bad guys’ are in the broad way of perdition, not taking any account of the punishments that threaten them. “Believe me,Father, the Lord will punish the world very soon. The punishment is imminent, soon to be the punishment material; Father just imagine how many souls will go to hell! “And this will happen because we do not pray and do penance. “This is the cause of the sadness of the Madonna. Father tell everyone that the Madonna told me several times: many nations will disappear from the face of the earth; NATIONS WITHOUT GOD will be the scourge chosen by God to punish humanity if we, through prayer and the sacraments, do not get the grace of their conversion. “Father, the Devil is attacking the decisive battle against the Madonna, because what afflicts the Immaculate Heart of Mary and Jesus is the fall of religious and priestly souls. They (the devils) know that the

65 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

religious and priests, by abandoning their vocation, drag a lot of souls to hell. “We are just in time to retain the punishment of Heaven. We have at our disposal two very effective means: Prayer and Sacrifice. “The Devil does everything to distract us and take away the taste of prayer. We will save or damn ourselves together. “Therefore, Father, you have to tell people that they should not wait from the Pope a call to repentance and prayer, nor from the Bishops or the priests, nor from the superiors in general. IT IS TIME FOR EACH, ON ITS OWN INITIATIVE, to accomplish holy works and reform their lives according to the calls of the Madonna! “The Devil wants to take possession of consecrated souls, he attempts to corrupt them, to induce others. He uses all the tricks and even suggesting to postpone the religious life. . . resulting in sterility of the inner life and coldness in the seminaries, where they gave up the joy of giving themselves totally to God. “Tell, Father, that two things were to sanctify Jacinta and Francisco, the affliction of the Madonna and the vision of hell. . . “The Madonna is found as between two swords: on one side sees mankind stubborn and indifferent to the “threatened punishments, the other sees us trampling on the Sacraments and despising the punishment that approaches, remaining unbelieving, sensual and materialistic. “The Madonna said expressly: “We approach the end times.”

“She told me: 1. “The devil is waging a decisive struggle, that is, the final from which one of the two will come out victorious or defeated.

66 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

2. “The second time she repeated to me that the last remedies given to the world are: the Holy Rosary and devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Last means that there will be no others. 3. “The third time she said the other means being exhausted and despised by men, she gives us with trembling the last lifeline: that is the Holy Virgin in person. Signs of tears, messages of various seers scattered in all parts of the world. Our Lady said that if we do not listen and we offend again, we will not be forgiven. “Father, it is urgent that we realize the terrible reality. We do not want to fill the souls with fear, it is only an urgent call to the reality.

Sister Lucia said: “Therefore, Father, you have to tell people that they should not wait from the Pope a call to repentance and prayer, nor from the Bishops or the priests, nor from the superiors in general. IT IS TIME FOR EACH, ON ITS OWN INITIATIVE, to accomplish holy works and reform

their lives according to the calls of the Madonna!” The power of darkness knew she was communicating to souls we had no Pope. Satan had to dispose of her and so he did. When? Where? How? We cannot tell until the last judgment but one thing is for sure: The buffoon that emerged as “Sister Lucia” after 1960 was a stooge of her master, Satan.

JOHN XXIII AND PAUL VI

In the time between Antipope Pius XII and Antipope Paul VI there was an interval that saw Giovanni Montini made into one of the new religion “Cardinals” by Antipope John XXIII and the calling together of the Antichrist’s first council, called “Vatican II”, to give it a Catholic ring. John XXIII’s goal was to transfer the Catholic sheep from Catholicity into the Satanic edifice built up by his predecessors. He was called “Good Pope John”, a stark contrast to the reality. All good comes from God. As we have shown throughout this article, the construction of the new religion, authored by Satan, cannot possibly construe a title of “good” on any of its participants. Giovanni Montini or “Paul VI” was born on September 26, 1897. It is ominous that he was born at the end of the 19th century. The boy, Maximin Giruad, a seer of La Salette, prophesied the Antichrist would be in the world either at the end of the 19th or the beginning of the 20th century. It is no secret that Paul VI’s family grave site has Freemasonic symbols on their family

67 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

tombstone. Knowing this, it is not out of the realm of possibility that his mother was in communication with Satan and conceived Montini out of wedlock and in the manner prophesied by the Virgin Mary that the father of Antichrist would be a Bishop. This is a plausible conclusion but the evidence is circumstantial. According to the “L’Osservatore Romano” Montini’s mother once told her son: “…this is what Providence has disposed so that with the various and multiple efforts of everyone the harmonious design of the divine edifice may be achieved.” What edifice achieved? Was Giovanni Montini, then, the Antichrist? As you will see later, from Father Berry’s book “Saint John’s Apocalypse”, the “Antichrist” is Satan who seeks to be worshiped as our savior

and the “false prophet” are the Antipopes. However, you can say that since the first of the false prophets was born in 1897 and he would eventually be the first “Pope” of the newly erected religion, he was also to be the representative of his master, Satan, and in this sense he can be thought of as Antichrist. Montini gave physical form to the spirit of Antichrist as do all his successors. Every man to rise up to the “throne of Saint Peter” since the final erection and defining of the religion of Antichrist during the “Second Vatican Council” has taken not the office of the Papacy but what can be called “the office of the false Prophet”. And the first to hold this position not only closed the “Second Vatican Council” with all its sacrilegious definitions but led a dissolute life so blatantly

obscene it would be unbecoming to give details in this article. The pale horse of the Apocalypse had arrived.

THE CHURCH IN THE TOMB

Earlier we stopped at chapter 12 verse 6 of Father Berry’s explanation of the Apocalypse. Father Berry explains the 13th chapter of the Apocalypse in these excerpted words: “The beast arising from the earth is a false prophet – the prophet of Antichrist. Our Divine Saviour has a representative on earth in the person of the Pope upon whom He has conferred full powers to teach and

68 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

govern. Likewise Antichrist will have his representative in the false prophet who will be endowed with the plentitude of satanic powers to deceive the nations. “…The two horns denote a twofold authority – spiritual and temporal. As indicated by the resemblance to a lamb, the prophet will probably set himself up in Rome as a sort of antipope during the vacancy of the papal throne mentioned above. But the elect will not allow themselves to be deceived; they will recall the words of our Lord: “Then if any man say to you: Lo here is Christ, or there, do not believe him.’”

Father Berry now describes the very essence of the Satanic religion erected by Antipopes Benedict XV, Pius XI, Pius XII and John XXIII and officially promulgated by Antichrist Paul VI. “The followers of Antichrist will be marked with a character in imitation of the sign that St. John saw upon the foreheads of the servants of God. This indicates that Antichrist and his prophet will introduce ceremonies to imitate the Sacraments of the Church. In fact there will be a complete organization – a church of Satan set up in opposition to the Church of Christ. Satan will assume the part of God the Father; Antichrist will be honored as Saviour and his prophet will usurp the role of Pope. Their ceremonies will counterfeit the Sacraments and their works of magic be heralded as miracles…”(“The Apocalypse of Saint John” by Father Sylvester Berry, Excerpts on chapter 13 of the Apocalypse)

These quotes are beyond all doubt what we are witnessing today. In obedience to the voice of God in the Apocalypse we are to go out from her (the harlot feigning Catholicity): “And I heard another voice from heaven, saying: Go out from her, my people; that you be

not partakers of her sins and that you receive not of her plagues.” (Apocalypse 18, 4)

Of ourselves, the authors of this article, we have no authority. An authority from true Catholicity is in order here. Henry Cardinal Manning speaks on the departure of the Papacy from Rome: “The writers of the Church tell us that in the latter days the city of Rome will probably become apostate from the Church and Vicar of Jesus Christ; and that Rome will again be punished, for he will depart from it; and the judgment of God will fall on the place from which he once reigned over the nations of the world. For what is it that makes Rome

69 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

sacred, but the presence of the Vicar of Jesus Christ? What has it that should be dear in the sight of God, save only the presence of the Vicar of His Son? Let the Church of Christ depart from Rome, and Rome will be no more in the eye of God than Jerusalem of old. Jerusalem, the Holy City, chosen by God, was cast down and consumed by fire, because it crucified the Lord of Glory; and the city of Rome, which has been the seat of the Vicar of Jesus Christ for eighteen hundred years, if it become apostate, like Jerusalem of old, will suffer a like condemnation…” (“The Present Crisis of the Holy See”, Henry Cardinal Manning, pages 54-55)

It is interesting to note how Rome is compared to Jerusalem. But when was Jerusalem punished?? Not immediately after the death of Christ! No. Their punishment came in the year 70 A.D. Earlier in history Israel suffered for 70 years under Nabuchodonosor because of sin. Daniel the Prophet lived during this time and it was during this time he prophesied the Eternal Sacrifice would be taken away and in its place would be “The Abomination of Desolation”. Common sense directs us to the intrinsic resemblance to those times and ours, particularly the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and the crucifixion of the Catholic Church. Read the Appendix for more details. Cardinal Manning continues: “The apostasy of the city of Rome from the Vicar of Christ, and its destruction by Antichrist, may be thoughts so new to many Catholics, that I think it well to recite the text of theologians in the greatest repute. First, Malvenda, who writes expressly on the subject, states as the opinion of Ribera, Gaspar Melus, Viegas, Suarez, Bellarmine and Bosius, that Rome shall apostatize from the faith and drive away the Vicar of Christ, and return to its ancient paganism. Malvenda’s words are: “Rome itself in the last times of the world will return to its ancient idolatry, power, and imperial greatness. It will cast out its Pontiff, altogether apostatize from the Christian faith, terribley persecute the Church, shed the blood of martyrs more cruelly than ever, and will recover its former state of abundant wealth, or even greater than it had under its first rulers.” (“The Present Crisis of the Holy See”, Henry Cardinal Manning, page 55)

70 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

The question is when did the Catholic Church enter the tomb and where is the blood being spilt? In 1969 mankind witnessed the disappearance of Catholicity in any form whatsoever in the world when the new “Mass” conquered. Once in a while Antichrist Rome still throws a couple of peanuts at “traditional minded” souls to subdue them but it is a lie not Catholicity. During this time the Catholic Church “entered the tomb” and “three days of darkness”, when there are very few faithful Catholics.

The blood of martyrs? Where is it today? Look to the Middle East! The whole region has been through a metamorphism and Catholics of other rites are being butchered everywhere while the Roman rite gets fat and materially happy. There are no apparent signs of it ending any time soon without the direct intervention of God.

POPE PIUS X AND 2ND THESSOLONIANS

There seems to be a fine line between interpreting scripture and discerning the spirits. Saint John tells us: Dearly beloved, believe not every spirit: but try the spirits if they be of God: because many

false prophets are gone out into the world. By this is the spirit of God known. Every spirit

which confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is God: And every spirit that dissolveth

Jesus is not of God. And this is Antichrist of whom you have heard that he cometh: and is now

already in the world.” (1 John 4, 1-3)

The denials of Papal Infallibility, both directly and indirectly, in modern society are evidences of the massive denial that “Jesus Christ is come in the flesh.” An indirect denial

would be something like the errors and perfidious ambiguities deceptively written in the “Encyclicals” we have reviewed in this article and many others we haven’t the time to expose, that would literally take volumes! But as we have pointed out before, the men posing as Pope yet preaching false doctrines are denying the Divinity of Jesus Christ because when He prayed that Peter’s faith “fail not” His prayer would certainly have been answered. To deny this is to deny Christ’s Divinity and this is Antichrist. Every soul following these men and their erected temple of Devil worship are accomplices to the crime. Perhaps some are ignorant, that is for God to judge.

71 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

So it is NOT our part to interpret the scriptures. It is definitely our OBLIGATION to DISCERN THE SPIRITS. What we are about to point out from Saint Paul’s second letter to the Thessalonians is done with the intention to discern the spirits. The interpretation has been done already by the Catholic Church through the illustrious words of Pope Pius X and Cardinal Manning. 2nd Thessalonians, Chapter 2, verses 3-11:

“Let no man deceive you by any means: for unless there come a revolt first, and the man

of sin be revealed, the son of perdition Who opposeth and is lifted up above all that is called

God or that is worshipped, so that he sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself as if he

were God. Remember you not that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now

you know what withholdeth, that he may be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity

already worketh: only that he who now holdeth do hold, until he be taken out of the way. And

then that wicked one shall be revealed: whom the Lord Jesus shall kill with the spirit of his

mouth and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: him whose coming is according to

the working of Satan, in all power and signs and lying wonders: And in all seduction of iniquity

to them that perish: because they receive not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

Therefore God shall send them the operation of error, to believe lying: That all may be judged

who have not believed the truth but have consented to iniquity.”

Pope Pius X made reference to this in his first Encyclical. Match up the yellow and blue highlighting: “. . . And as might be expected we find extinguished among the majority of men all

respect for the Eternal God, and no regard paid in the manifestations of public and private

life to the Supreme Will - - nay, every effort and every artifice is used to destroy utterly the

memory and the knowledge of God.

When all this is considered there is good reason to fear lest this great

perversity may be as it were a foretaste, and perhaps the beginning of those

evils which are reserved for the last days; and that there may be already in the

world the “Son of Perdition” of whom the Apostle speaks (IITess. Ii.,3) Such,

in truth, is the audacity and the wrath employed everywhere in persecuting

religion, in combating the dogmas of the faith, in brazen effort to uproot and

destroy all relations between man and the Divinity! While, on the other hand,

72 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

and this according to the same apostle is the distinguishing mark of

Antichrist, man has with infinite temerity put himself in the place of God,

raising himself above all that is called God: in such wise that although he

cannot utterly extinguish in himself all knowledge of God, he has contemned

God’s majesty and, as it were, made of the universe a temple wherein he

himself is to be adored. “He sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself as if

he were God.” (Encyclical: “E Supremi”, October 4, 1903)

Saint Paul said elsewhere: “Or know you not that your members are the temple of the Holy Ghost, who is in you,

whom you have from God: and you are not your own? For you are bought with a great price.

Glorify and bear God in your body.” (1 Corinthians 6, 19-20)

And again: “And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the

living God: as God saith: I will dwell in them and walk among them. And I will be their God:

and they shall be my people.” (2 Corinthians 6, 16)

So it is clear that if we are baptized Catholics we are temples of the Holy Ghost and “the son of

perdition Who opposeth and is lifted up above all that is called God or that is worshipped, so

that he sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself as if he were God” is actually dwelling in

the souls of men in these days of Antichrist!

Cardinal Manning explains what Saint Paul means when he says: “For the mystery of iniquity already worketh: only that he who now holdeth do hold, until he

be taken out of the way”

He expounds: “We have now come nearly to a solution of that which I stated in the beginning, namely, how it is that the power which hinders the revelation of the lawless one is not only a person but a system, and not only a system but a person. In one word, it is Christendom and its head; and therefore, in the person of the Vicar of Jesus Christ, and in that twofold authority with which, by Divine Providence he has been invested,

73 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

we see the direct antagonist to the principle of disorder. The lawless one, who knows no law, human or divine nor obeys any but his own will, has no antagonist on earth more direct than the Vicar of Jesus Christ, who bears at one and the same time the character of royalty and of priesthood, and represents the two principles of order in the temporal and in the spiritual state – the principle of monarchy, if you will, or of government, and the principle of the apostolic authority…” (“The Present Crisis of the Holy See” Chapter: What Holds Back Antichrist?)

We have proven beyond all doubt the Papacy has been taken from us. This is clear by discerning the spirits dwelling with the Antipopes since the death of Pope Pius X. God has taken the Papacy out of the way and the “son of perdition” sits in the temple of God “shewing himself as if he were God.” And who is this “man of sin” if not modern society? Man as a

society has fallen into the worst and grotesque public and private sins. This has never happened on such a wide scale, covering the entire world, as it is today. Even a brief examination of the moral state of the world proves the signs of these times but the official edifice of the “Vatican II church” centers its worship on man as both the “priest” and the altar face the people. Their false doctrines focus more on the backward dogma “believe in yourself” rather than to put all your trust and confidence in God and nothing in yourself. The services are musically energizing in the exact manner employed by Protestantism. The Gallican (aka “traditional Catholicism”) organizations such as the Society of Saint Pius X also focus on music as it lifts the spirit and disguises the fact there are no Sacraments with their schism. It’s an emotional “feel good” religion all around from the Novus Ordo to the empty pomp and glory of the Society of Saint Pius X and the CMRI with their false holy orders and false Sacraments. It’s the religion of man. In the Apocalypse Saint John gives a cryptogram that enabled the faithful to recognize the Antichrist as soon as he made his appearance in the world. But the world is so engulfed in the emotions and the sensual, physical appetites they were unable to see the Antichrist rising up in the spiritual realm and still to this day they grope in the dark. May God have mercy on men of good will.

DIRECT EVIDENCES

Has the entire world ever been duped by Satan as it is today? Have there ever been more evidences of the worship of man and sensual pleasures, absent of anything spiritual as we have in today’s world?? Have false doctrines and lack of morals ever had such free reign, without any outcry from the Papacy and the Church? Have we any need for reminders of just how intellectually and spiritually dark the world is?? Have we any more need of proof the

74 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

Papacy has been taken out of the way because of sin and the sin has become approved law in the new religion which has become UNIVERSAL – The New World Order??

It is impossible to exaggerate how bad society is in each of these defects: • The world is plagued by the pursuit of money and materialism • Television commercials are 100% sensual and materialistic • Television programs are void of faith in the true Catholic God or good morals • Servile work on Sundays is widespread • Immodestly dressed people, impure magazines, pornography and lust are everywhere • A great host of vaccinations pose as a “baptism” of sorts to induct souls into hideous sins, especially impurities. • A selfish, “enjoy yourself” and “believe in yourself” false doctrine is indoctrinated in the minds of everybody. • Unquestioning belief in modern “news” and there are commentators to fit every whim or fancy. • Sports stars performing in their “stadiums” have replaced the heroic Catholic Saints of the coliseum. Souls are distracted with favorite sporting teams and events. • A Satanic Hollywood and the scandalous lives of Hollywood actors replace the heroic lives of the saints • Society literally has backward morals and an insatiable desire for pleasure • Lucifer has spread his knowledge on music to corrupt souls and keep them corrupt. Vile music is everywhere • Worry about the physical health of the body supersedes the health of the soul

75 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

• A believe in yourself, enjoy yourself & love your body world • A selfish desire to save one’s self from Hell replaced supernatural charity towards God amongst those who call themselves Catholic

• Sodomy is spreading like the fires of perdition • Food is replaced with genetically modified organisms – symbolic of the absence of our spiritual food in the Blessed Sacrament • Rebellion • Abuse of power • Marriages are plagued by the fallacy of divorce

76 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

• Men and women living in sin together • Authoritative figures seek only their own advancement • Disobedience is widespread, especially to parents • Europe and the “civilized countries” live in a world of “cheese and grapes” – a world of pleasures and royalty • Souls are puffed up with their own knowledge; not the knowledge of Catholic truth • Pride blinds the spiritual senses – leaving souls mucking in spiritual manure • Cigarettes, Drugs and Alcohol replace spiritual meditation and contemplation of God. • Modern scientific advancements have left souls without zeal for reparation and sacrifice • The list is endless – An overall animalistic society without truth and without God And there is no outcry from the Catholic Church because WE HAVE NO POPE.

THE PLAGUES OF DEUTERONOMY In chapters 28 and 29 of the book of Deuteronomy we find Moses calling down curses to transgressors of God’s laws. It isn’t hard to understand how many if not all of these apply to our modern world spiritually and physically. We briefly comment in the yellow highlight to show the spirit of today that matches the punishment from these excerpts: “The Lord shall send upon thee famine and hunger, and a rebuke upon all the works which

thou shalt do. Until he consume and destroy thee quickly, for thy most wicked inventions, by

which thou hast forsaken me.”

Spiritually: we have no Sacraments. Physically: we have no nutrients in our common food. Genetically Modified Organisms have overtaken wholesome food. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“May the Lord afflict thee with miserable want, with the fever and with cold, with burning

and with heat, and with corrupted air and with blasting: and pursue thee till thou perish. Be

the heaven, that is over thee of brass: and the ground thou treadest on, of iron.”

Physically: we are plagued with “chemtrails” that poison our air and our soil. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “The Lord strike thee with madness and blindness and fury of mind.”

Spiritually: nobody knows Catholic truths yet everybody is intellectually prideful. Physically: with poisoned food and air our bodies are lacking essential elements like adequate hormones and balanced vitamins and minerals which in most cases leads to various ailments. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “And mayst thou grope at midday as the blind is wont to grope in the dark, and not make

straight thy ways…”

Spiritually: souls cannot find Catholic truth ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “May thy sons and thy daughters be given to another people, thy eyes looking on, and

languishing at the sight of them all the day: and may there be no strength in thy hand”

Public schools and other programs are in many cases teaching children false doctrines and immoral behavior. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ “And you shall remain few in number, who before were as the stars of heaven for

multitude: because thou heardest not the voice of the Lord thy God.”

Spiritually: How few true Catholics there are in the world today!!

In the Book of the Prophet Daniel he speaks of the curses Moses pronounced against Israel since they forsook the Lord their God. It is astounding to compare these curses and the others we haven’t room to list with our current situation! Become acquainted with the Book of Daniel, the book of Jeremias and those chapters of Deuteronomy to understand further the situation we are in and what we must do during these times. The prophet Jeremias speaks straight to the captives in Babylon, exhorting them and

78 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

directing them. His words can be applied to each one of us. Read this letter of his to the Israelites yourself in Jeremias chapter 29. In Chapter 30 of Jeremias we find great hope for our future as God will not abandon us who beg Him for mercy! It is not us, the authors of this article, who point you to Daniel the prophet who in turn speaks of Jeremias and Deuteronomy. It is Our Lord when he says: “When therefore you shall see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of by

Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place: he that readeth let him

understand. . . “(Matthew 24, 15)

ONE HOPE FOR THE RETURN OF THE PAPACY

Anointing was the rite of inauguration into each of the three typical offices in the Old Testament. Those offices were: Priests, Prophets and Kings. 1.) In Exodus Chapter 29 the Prophet Moses is instructed on the manner of consecrating Aaron and other priests. 2.) In 1 Kings Chapter 9 verses 15-17 the Prophet Samuel anoints King Saul. 3.) In 1 Kings Chapter 16 verse 13 the Prophet Samuel anoints King David 4.) In 3 Kings Chapter 1 verses 33-34 the Prophet Nathan anoints Solomon king over Israel 5.) In 3 Kings Chapter 19 verses 16-17 the Prophet Elias anoints Jehu the King of Israel and

Eliseus as Prophet.

Elias was later taken up in a fiery chariot. As he was taken he dropped his cloak for Eliseus to retrieve. Eliseus wore it and was full of the Holy Ghost. Elias was taken away and will return with Enoch in the very last standing days of Antichrist. After the Transfiguration, as they came down from the mountain, Jesus told the disciples this regarding Elias the Prophet:

“Elias indeed shall come and restore all things” (Matthew 17, 11)

79 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

Those encouraging words from Our Lord are enough to help us persevere in this trial. It is clear: Prophets were appointed to anoint even the High Priest in the Old Testament and Elias still lives somewhere reserved for the last days of Antichrist. Elias and Enoch are the only ones left who could possibly anoint a new Pope and a resurrected Priesthood. Saint Peter was called the Apostle of the Jews and Saint Paul the Apostle of the Gentiles. Many Prophecies, especially one by Blessed Anne Marie Taigi, tell us that Peter and Paul will point out the next Pope. It is well known that Elias will be appointed the heavy task of converting the Jews to Catholicity. This leaves Enoch to convert the “Gentiles” of the world. The obvious conclusion is the Prophecy revealing Saints Peter and Paul pointing out the next Pope is symbolism since Elias and Enoch will be in their stead and full of the same Holy Ghost. “Behold I will send you Elias the prophet, before the coming of the great and dreadful day

of the Lord. And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children and the heart of the

children to their fathers: lest I come and strike the earth with anathema.” (Malachias 4, 5-6)

By bringing over the Jews to the faith of Christ, Elias shall reconcile them to their fathers, the Patriarchs and Prophets: whose hearts for many ages have been turned away from them because of refusing to believe in Christ (Commentary in Douay Rheims Bible, page 910) It is up to us to stay away from schismatic and heretical movements and the automatic excommunication for attending them by staying home, praying the Rosary and BEGGING GOD FOR MERCY! Beg Him to send His Holy Prophets to deliver us from this dark chastisement which is symbolic of the 3 days Our Lord laid in the tomb and only the Blessed Virgin Mary still had the true Faith. Pray all the more when family and friends ridicule you for believing in the Words of God!

DISFUNCTIONAL SOCIETY

Enoch and Elias will enter a dysfunctional society. The society of men has been dysfunctional for a very long time but every day is worse than the one before it. The Protestant revolution gave a false hope of an easier life in this world in exchange for eternal bliss hereafter. People believed in this and a host of false doctrines to such an extent they rose up and rebelled against Catholic truth – sometimes even going so far as to raid Churches and desecrate the Blessed Sacrament. Saint Teresa of Avila mentions this in her “The Way of Perfection”.

80 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

In the 18th century revolution became a common theme. The French Revolution murdered the King and his wife, spread false rumors about Marie Antoinette and imprisoned their son who later either died in prison or somehow quietly disappeared. England lost control of their eastern territories because of revolution. Even Austria tottered against the storm while most of the rest of the world was succumbing. Encyclical after encyclical came out and Pope after Pope fought against the tide with Sampson like strength and perseverance. Most people who call themselves Catholic today (yet are worshiping something else) are ignorant of the fight these Popes endured.

CONCLUSION

We have laid out the evidence of Antichrist in Rome since 1914. We have made it abundantly clear the Antichrist built his edifice with the help of Antipopes Benedict XV, Pius XI, and Pius XII. We have laid out clear proofs of their lack of the Papal prerogatives. We have shown how this Satanic edifice was opened at what they called the “Second Vatican Council” and unwary souls, the vast majority of former Catholics, wandered into it with very little qualms. We have endeavored to demonstrate how the fall of the Temporal Power of the Pope and his absence in modern society has led to the utter ruin of Faith and Morals in the world today. What we see today represented as Catholicity in the world is an illusion. Catholicity lives on in certain homes and individuals spread throughout the world, hardly noticeable. The Church is “homeless” and without her Divinely appointed leader. She has been crucified by evil men but this happened because of sin. We wait for her Resurrection with patience and perseverance. In the mean time we find falsehoods everywhere. Organizations call themselves Catholic and souls attend their anathema and damning services every Sunday. The longer this goes on the hungrier the people become for wholesome spiritual food. So hungry they neglect Christian charity. Many of them rush off to their pretended Masses every Sunday no matter the circumstances. Their children might be sick, even vomiting, but they absolutely must have their “Sacraments”. Worse yet, some attend for camaraderie with their friends in anxious anticipation to meet and talk after the services or outside during the “sermon”. This is a sign of the absence of the Sacraments. Why? Because if Jesus Christ was present in their Churches a Divine Charity would come forth in those of good will. There would be order and mothers would stay home with their sick children and sick people would stay home. Souls wouldn’t anticipate seeing and being with each other. Thanksgiving after Mass would be for longer

81 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

times and with more devotion. Instead they go to a pretended Mass to partake of the poison of heresy and schism, filling their appetite for a moment with singing, beautiful but empty ceremonies and emotional “sermons” to replace the fiery sermons of the Saints. Absent of any wholesome spiritual nutrients, they soon become starved yet again. And the circle becomes more and more vicious. The selfish desire for Sacraments as a ticket to salvation overwhelms true love for God and true sorrow for offending Him. The Sacraments are outward signs, ordained by Jesus Christ as a means to convey His grace to our souls. We must receive them with due preparation. To receive a sacrament unworthily is a mortal sin – a sacrilege. (Excerpts from “Familiar Explanation of Christian Doctrine”, 1874 edition, page 287) To receive the

sacraments with the intention to save oneself is not proper preparation. God will judge how much blameworthy such souls are in a world of Satanic illusions and fake Sacraments.

At this point in time a steadfast and loyal Catholic stays home, prays the Rosary every day and begs God for mercy while studying the faith and endeavoring to know and believe all the Catholic Church teaches. Never trust modern books but seek out only older, approved books for studying. There is nothing greater to do than that. A steadfast and loyal Catholic is consistent in his practice of the faith. Not tolerating error but always approaching it with the truth in all Christian Charity. Sometimes it becomes necessary to separate ourselves from those who are so full of their own selves, believing it to be true Christian knowledge: “Every man is become a fool for knowledge, every artist is confounded in his graven idol:

for what he hath cast is false, and there is no spirit in them. They are vain things and a

ridiculous work: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.” (Jeremias 10, 14-15)

Other souls need to be taught the truth. There are neighbors who, while they are still living, have a chance to obtain Eternal Salvation. We are well into the years of Antichrist already. With the different scopes which Catholic prophecy can be fulfilled, especially the 70 years of exile, often times recurring more than once (since nothing’s new under the sun), we can imagine the days of Antichrist are fast coming to a close. Perhaps 10 maybe 20 years? It is our place to get on our knees and beg God for mercy while showing Christian charity to our neighbors and dodging the great host of false prophets calling out for our allegiance. Then maybe God will bring an end to this chastisement. Finally, we urge you to stay away from those who give the same evidences on the Antipopes as we have exhibited but sneak in some malicious heresy. Those who deny baptism of desire and baptism of blood are amongst this group. They seem to have been chosen by the fires of Hell to bait souls coming to the knowledge of the truth the Papacy has been absent since 1914. The catch is how they creep in their false doctrine, many times making it appear as though the

82 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

Antipopes are guilty of suggesting the 3 manners of baptism (Water, Blood and Desire) when in reality it is a true doctrine. The simple answer came from Jesus Christ: “And Jesus said to them: You know not what you ask. Can you drink of the chalice that I

drink of or be baptized with the baptism wherewith I am baptized?” (Mark 10, 38) The

baptism of blood.

Any alternate explanation of what the Popes and the Church have taught is a deliberate corruption of the doctrine of baptism. For example, when the Pope says: “The universal Church of the faithful is one outside of which none are saved”

– Pope Innocent III, 4th Lateran Council

All without exception must belong to the One fold of the Church certainly includes this example: “Three days have scarcely passed since the martyrdom of Saint Agnes (January 21), when the Liturgy, so jealous of every tradition, invites us to visit the Martyr’s tomb. There we shall find a young Virgin, Emerentiana; she was the friend and foster-sister of our dear little heroine, and has come to pray and weep at the spot where lies her loved one, so soon and so cruelly taken from her. Emerentiana has not yet been regenerated in the waters of Baptism; she is going through the exercises of a Catechumen; but her heart already belongs, by faith and desire, to Jesus. Whilst the young girl is pouring forth her grief over the tomb of her much loved Agnes, she is surprised by the approach of some pagans; they ridicule her tears, and bid her pay no more of this sort of honour to one who was their victim. Upon this, the child, longing as she was to be with Christ, and to be clasped in the embraces of her sweet Agnes, was fired with holy courage – as well she might near such a Martyr’s tomb – and turning to the barbarians, she confesses Christ Jesus, and curses the idols, and upbraids them for their vile cruelty to the innocent Saint who lay there. This was more than enough to rouse the savage nature of men, who were slaves to the worship of Satan; and scarcely had the child spoken, when she falls on the tomb, covered with the heavy stones thrown on her by her murderers. Baptized in her own blood, Emerentiana leaves her bleeding corpse upon the earth, and her soul flies to the bosom of God, where she is to enjoy, forever, union with Him, in the dear company of Agnes.” (“The Liturgical Year” Volume 3, pages 395-396)

The powers of Hell have souls labeling and name calling each other all the time. Vigorously renounce any title such as “Feeneyite” or “Sedevacantist” or “Traditionalist”. These are only labels of Satan. If you are Catholic, answer to that name only.

This whole article is full of references. Why not study these things yourself? That would be the best way to learn the truths that the article affirms. Get the documentary evidence that you have a right to! For instance, Manning was a Cardinal of the Catholic Church and had a personal interest in your affairs; one who had a well proved ability to help people as did Father Knox and Father Berry. Why feed off the poison of Satan’s church and rewritten history? The internet has this information out there! The internet is a tool that CAN be used to uncover the lies we have been laboring under. Do your own homework. Take our references and search them out for yourselves. If you have a problem finding an article contact us through our website and we will be glad to assist you. Make that effort for the love of God! How can you love Him you don’t know? Stay close to the Holy Scriptures. Discern the spirits. Saint Vincent Ferrer in his sermon on the feast of the Epiphany says: “The Holy Kings, before they came to Herod, were guided by a star, but after they had gone to King Herod, they turned again to Holy Scriptures to guide themselves, etc. Herod signifies the Antichrist, because just as Herod wishing to kill the Christ, killed the innocents, so the Antichrist wishing to destroy the faith of Christ, shall kill Christians contradicting him. And that star signifies human science, logic, philosophy, laws, canons, by which we are now directed and ruled. But in the time of Antichrist it shall be necessary to turn again to sacred scriptures, because the Antichrist shall not believe in logic, nor philosophy nor poetry nor laws, etc. Only with sacred scripture shall we make a stand against him. Therefore how guilty are we now, because no one cares about the Bible. Laypeople give themselves to profitable sciences. And among religious, who ought to study sacred scripture, one devotes himself to Virgil, another to Ovid, another to Terence, and so for the others. This is one sign, among others, of the nearness of the Antichrist. Because the Antichrist, to prove his error that he is the Messiah and the Son of God, etc., shall bring forth only the text of the Bible and the Prophets.

How do you defend yourself, to refute him, if you are ignorant of the Bible? About this there is a prophecy of Solomon saying “When prophecy shall fail, the people shall be scattered,” (Proverbs 29:18) this prophecy speaks of the Old Testament. Christ speaks to all, saying, “Search the scriptures, for you think in them to have life everlasting; and the same are they

that give testimony of me,” (John 5:39)

Many of the errors of Antichrist have been refuted in this article with Holy Scripture or Infallible words from the Popes and the Catholic Church. Do your own research! Do your own homework! Don’t believe this article without verifying the sources we have provided for you. We are not after anything but the glory of God. We are not interested in monetary gain, only that you know the will of God and do it. This Divine chastisement has persisted for more than 100 years. Do not tolerate the false Prophets of our days (and they are innumerable) striving to fool you into believing the world will not be chastised until 2017 or when the planet Jupiter exits out of the womb of the constellation Virgo or 1001 other crazy and often Pagan imaginings. We are well into it now. Focus on the spiritual, not the physical. Yes, there may be a physical punishment yet to come but if we are living a solid spiritual life this punishment will serve to increase our spiritual merit and place in Heaven. Why be anxious or full of anxiety? Focusing on the physical first exposes a spiritual malady which, if investigated thoroughly, will be found to have its commencement with this Apostasy we have been studying, being a product of the continual lies that have pervaded the world. Pray for God’s mercy by sending His two prophets. While the false Popes continue to malign Catholic truth and damn souls with delusions while throwing peanuts to the foolish Gallican SSPXers and others who call themselves “traditional Catholic”, there is no reason to despair or become anxious. Our time should be used to sanctify ourselves, primarily with devotion to Mary and her Holy Rosary. Antichrist will continue to search out and seek to destroy Catholicity at all costs. Turn a blind eye to his overtures! The days of Enoch and Elias will be also be days of the Antichrist struggling to keep his edifice standing. Be wary. Don’t fall for his lies! Until God gives us a Pope again stay home on Sunday, sanctify the day, meditate on the Passion of Jesus Christ and how it compares to the Passion of the Catholic Church, fast on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, have devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray her Rosary and wear her brown scapular. Our Lady of Fatima, Pray for us!

APPENDIX

It is encouraging to remember how God is not changeable and He is in control. The Holy Ghost teaches us: “What is it that hath been? The same thing that shall be. What is it that

hath been done? The same that shall be done. Nothing under the sun is new, neither is any

man able to say: Behold this is new: for it hath already gone before in the ages that were seen

before us” Ecclesiastes 1: 9-10) Knowing this we wish to give you some confidence for the days

and years of Apostasy that may still be ahead of us. God has a definite pattern or character as God. There are many times in scripture when He makes use of the numbers 40 & 70. The number 40 usually was symbolic of a time of tribulation. Moses and the Israelites were in the desert for 40 years. Jonah warned Ninevah for 40 days. Elijah went 40 days without food or water. Kings Saul, David and Solomon each ruled for 40 years. Jesus was in the desert for 40 days. The Jews were punished for crucifying Jesus 40 years after the crucifixion itself. In the history of the Catholic Church the Great Western Schism lasted 40 years. The number 70 has a sacred significance with God. The Babylonian captivity continued for 70 years. Moses appointed 70 elders. Jesus chose 70 disciples and Jesus expounded at least 70 parables. In the history of the Catholic Church the Papacy was exiled in Avignon, France for 70 years. What is most interesting is how the Papacy exiled in Avignon, France and the Great Western Schism occurred practically one after the other. The Papacy was exiled from 1305 to 1377 while the Great Western Schism went from 1378 to 1417. The timing isn’t exact but it is very close. What can we learn from this? In 1929 Antipope Pius XI stripped the Catholic Church of her Temporal Power by betraying her for 1.75 billion Italian dollars. The Catholic Church was now officially a wanderer on earth like the Israelites were in the days of Moses. This continued for 40 years until all vestiges of Catholicity were completely gone from the entire world when the Mass was changed in 1969. This is a total of 40 years. Coincidence? Since nothing is new under the sun it is not so foolish to recognize the next period of 70 years began immediately after the changes of 1969. The exile of the Catholic Church was followed with an immediate and complete schism which, knowing how God has acted in the past, we can safely assume these years of Antichrist would continue for a total of 70 years except Our Lord said the time would be shortened for the sake of the elect. This is encouraging food for thought.

Original Prayer to Saint Michael

O Glorious Prince of the heavenly host, Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in the battle and in the terrible warfare that we are waging against the principalities and powers, against the rulers of this world of darkness, against the evil spirits. Come to the aid of man, whom Almighty God created immortal, made in His own image and likeness, and redeemed at a great price from the tyranny of Satan.

Fight this day the battle of the Lord, together with the holy angels, as already thou hast fought the leader of the proud angels, Lucifer, and his apostate host, who were powerless to resist thee, nor was there place for them any longer in Heaven. That cruel, ancient serpent, who is called the devil or Satan who seduces the whole world, was cast into the abyss with his angels. Behold, this primeval enemy and slayer of men has taken courage. Transformed into an angel of light, he wanders about with all the multitude of wicked spirits, invading the earth in order to blot out the name of God and of His

87 “THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY: A STUDY OF ANTICHRIST SINCE 1914” Visit: WWW.OURLADYSRESISTANCE.ORG

Christ, to seize upon, slay and cast into eternal perdition souls destined for the crown of eternal glory. This wicked dragon pours out, as a most impure flood, the venom of his malice on men of depraved mind and corrupt heart, the spirit of lying, of impiety, of blasphemy, and the pestilent breath of impurity, and of every vice and iniquity. These most crafty enemies have filled and inebriated with gall and bitterness the Church, the spouse of the immaculate Lamb, and have laid impious hands on her most sacred possessions. In the Holy Place itself, where the See of Holy Peter and the Chair of Truth has been set up as the light of the world, they have raised the throne of their abominable impiety, with the iniquitous design that when the Pastor has been struck, the sheep may be. Arise then, O invincible Prince, bring help against the attacks of the lost spirits to the people of God, and give them the victory. They venerate thee as their protector and patron; in thee holy Church glories as her defense against the malicious power of hell; to thee has God entrusted the souls of men to be established in heavenly beatitude. Oh, pray to the God of peace that He may put Satan under our feet, so far conquered that he may no longer be able to hold men in captivity and harm the Church. Offer our prayers in the sight of the Most High, so that they may quickly find mercy in the sight of the Lord; and vanquishing the dragon, the ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, do thou again make him

captive in the abyss, that he may no longer seduce the nations. Amen. V. Behold the Cross of the Lord; be scattered ye hostile powers. R. The Lion of the tribe of Judah has conquered, the root of David. V. Let Thy mercies be upon us, O Lord. R. As we have hoped in Thee. V. O Lord, hear my prayer. R. And let my cry come unto Thee. Let us pray O God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, we call upon Thy holy Name, and as supplicants, we implore Thy clemency, that by the intercession of Mary, ever Virgin Immaculate and our Mother, and of the glorious Saint Michael the Archangel, Thou wouldst deign to help us against Satan and all the other unclean spirits who wander about the world for the injury of the human race and the ruin of souls. Amen.”
