COGwriter<\/a><\/p>\n Pope Francis continues to direct people towards his version of “Mary” as he said the following today [Translation by Joseph Trabbic]:<\/p>\n April 28, 2013<\/p>\n Before concluding this celebration I would like to entrust the confirmandi and all of you to Our Lady. The Virgin Mary teaches us what it means to live in the Holy Spirit and what it means to welcome the newness of God in our life. She conceived Jesus by the work of the Spirit, and every Christian, each one of us, is called to welcome the Word of God, to welcome Jesus in ourselves and then bring him to everyone. Mary invoked the Spirit with the Apostles in the upper room: every time that we come together in prayer, we are supported by the spiritual presence of the Mother of Jesus, to receive the gift of the Spirit and to have the ability to bear witness to the risen Jesus. I say this in a special way to you who have received Confirmation today: may Mary help you to be attentive to that which the Lord asks of you, and always to live and to walk according to the Holy Spirit!…<\/p>\n Now in the Easter light, fruit of the Spirit, we turn together to the Mother of the Lord. \u00a0http:\/\/www.zenit.org\/en\/articles\/on-the-gift-of-the-spirit<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Notice the focus and emphasis towards “Mary” as the solution and aid.\u00a0 As reported here earlier, the first place that Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio\u00a0visited outside the Vatican after becoming Pope Francis was a church dedicated to Mary.\u00a0 There he prayed before an image and dedicated his pontificate to “Mary” (Pope Francis entrusts pontificate to \u2018Mary\u2019 and Cardinal hopes for Islamic cooperation)<\/a>.\u00a0 Pope Francis also asked that his pontificate would be\u00a0 consecrated to “Our Lady of Fatima” (Pope Francis, lapsed Catholics, and the Lutherans<\/a>)–this is to take place on May 13, 2013.\u00a0 He seems to be working on fulfilling various prophecies and predictions documented in my book Fatima Shock!<\/a><\/p>\n Furthermore, Pope Francis seems to have taken more early steps towards Marianism than any recent pontiff.\u00a0 He may be the last pope or at least setting the stage for the last pope as both biblical and Catholic prophecies tell of a “Virgin” involved with sorceries in the time of the end.<\/p>\n Here are some comments from my book The Last Pope<\/a>:<\/p>\n Apparitions Claiming to Be Mary May Be Involved in the End<\/strong><\/p>\n Although many of the Catholic prophecies show that their Great Monarch will spread a version of \u201cCatholicism\u201d all over the world and a pope will do miracles, it perhaps should be mentioned that others indicate that some type of Marian image\/apparition will be involved in insuring his success over non-Catholics:<\/p>\n R. Gerald Culleton <\/em>(20th<\/sup> century):\u00a0 During the reign of the Great Monarch and the Angelic Pastor the Catholic Church will spread throughout the world, conversions will be innumerable\u2026The Blessed Virgin will be the chief one in gaining victory over all heresy and schism because of her power over the demons in the last ages of the world will be especially great<\/strong>.\u00a0 This will be recognized by her enthronement as \u201cMistress and Queen of Men\u2019s Hearts.\u201d<\/p>\n St. Louis-Marie Grignion De Montfort<\/em> (18th<\/sup> century): The power of Mary over all the devils will be particularly outstanding in the last period of time<\/strong>. She will extend the Kingdom of Christ over the idolaters and Moslems, and there will come glorious era when Mary is the Ruler and Queen of Hearts.<\/p>\n St. Louis De Montfort<\/em> (died 1720): The training and education of the great saints, who will appear towards the end of the world, is reserved for the Mother of God…These great saints, full of grace and zeal, will be chosen in order to oppose the enemies of God who will appear everywhere. By their word and example these saints will bring the whole world to a true veneration of Mary.<\/p>\n Notice that this alleged \u201cMary\u201d also has the power over the demons.\u00a0 As the Bible never indicates that the biblical Mary has this power, this is apparently a reference to a demonic manifestation\/apparition claiming to be Mary.\u00a0 And notice that many are working for this apparition to put down those who oppose the extreme veneration of Mary.<\/p>\n Here is some of what the Roman Catholic academic Jean Guitton concluded in 1973 about what some of the apparitions were teaching:<\/p>\n One of the themes of Grignon de Monfort is that devotion to Mary would grow toward the end of time, that the progress of this cult would be a sign of the end times.<\/p>\n Also notice the following from Pope John Paul II:<\/p>\n Christ will be victorious by means of Her, because He wishes that the victories of the Church in the contemporary world and in the future will be united to Her.<\/p>\n The idea that \u201cMary\u201d will be part of the end times is clearly within Roman Catholic literature.<\/p>\n Here is another Roman Catholic prophecy:<\/p>\n Anna-Katarina Emmerick<\/em> (July 12, 1820)<\/em>: I had a vision of the holy Emperor Henry. I saw him at night kneeling alone at the foot of the main alter in a great and beautiful church…and I saw the Blessed Virgin coming down all alone…The wine was as red as blood, and there was also some water. The Mass was short. The Gospel of St. John was not read at the end. When the Mass had ended, Mary came up to Henry (the Emperor), and she extended her right hand towards him, saying that it was in recognition of his purity. Then, she urged him not to falter…<\/p>\n Catholic writer Yves Dupont<\/em> (20th<\/sup> century): Henry is the Great Monarch, chosen by God to restore all things to Christ…The Blessed Virgin urges him not to falter.<\/p>\n Here is what another Roman Catholic wrote related to \u201cMary\u201d:<\/p>\n Blessed Mary of Agreda<\/em> (17th<\/sup> century): It was revealed to me that through the intercession of the Mother of God all heresies will disappear.\u00a0 The victory over heresies had been reserved by Christ for His Blessed Mother.\u00a0 In the last times, the Lord will in a special manner spread the renown of His Mother:\u00a0 Mary began salvation, and by her intercession it will be completed.\u00a0 Before the second coming of Christ, Mary must, more than ever, shine in mercy, might, and grace in order to bring unbelievers into the Catholic Faith.\u00a0 The power of Mary in the last times over the demons will be very conspicuous. Mary will extend the reign of Christ over the heathen and the Mohammedans<\/strong>\u2026<\/p>\n It is interesting to note that several things attributed to Mary are the same or similar to those of the Great Monarch.\u00a0 Thus, perhaps the Great Monarch, or some of his followers like the last pope, will somehow claim to have seen and\/or received help from \u201cMary.\u201d\u00a0 Protestants who are starting to look more towards \u201cMary,\u201d may help fulfill the Agreda<\/em> prophecy above.\u00a0 There is a very high probability that in the future, one or more \u201cMarian\u201d apparitions will become public and mislead many (cf. Isaiah 47; 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12).<\/p>\n If more public \u201cMarian\u201d appearances come to pass, then these apparitions may be one of the many signs and lying wonders (cf. 2 Thessalonians 2:9; Matthew 24:24; Mark 13:22; Revelation 16:14) and even \u201csorcery\u201d (Revelation 18:23; 19:20; Isaiah 47:9,12; Nahum 3:4) that will help persuade people to support the future King of the North. The Beast, which certain Catholic prophets seem to call the Great Monarch, will then help persuade the world to accept a more ecumenical form of Catholicism.<\/p>\n Some improperly consider that a non-biblical version of \u201cMary is our hope. She is…our sign\u201d (Slattery M, Priest.\u00a0 Homily Notes for August. The Furrow<\/cite>, Vol. 28, No. 6 (Jun., 1977), pp. 375-380). Yet, the Bible warns that a certain virgin, lady, city, mother, and harlot, all make the same type of statements as all are condemned (Isaiah 47:1-14; Zephaniah 2:15; Revelation 17:1-18; 18:7-8), despite \u201cmiraculous signs\u201d sometimes called sorceries<\/em> being involved\u2014all should be careful not to fall for them or their Babylonian system.<\/p>\n The Bible specifically warns about a \u201cdaughter of the Chaldeans\u201d which considers itself \u201cthe Lady of the Kingdoms\u201d that has \u201cchildren\u201d and long had sorceries and enchantments that mislead others (Isaiah 47:5-12) that will be punished (Revelation 18:7-8).\u00a0 \u00a0This biblically condemned \u201cLady of the Kingdoms\u201d makes nearly identical statements to a particular city (Zephaniah 2:15) and a harlot who is associated with the city on seven hills\/mountains (Revelation 17:1-18; 18:7)…<\/p>\n The \u201cGreat Monarch\u201d and the \u201cmiraculous last pope\u201d seem to resemble quite closely the Beast of the Sea and the Beast of the Earth that the Bible warns about.\u00a0 Even if you see \u201cmiracles\u201d associated with them or from apparitions that claim to be Mary, the Bible teaches that Christians are not to look mainly to outward signs:<\/p>\n 7 For we walk by faith, and not by sight. (2 Corinthians 5:7, DRB)<\/p>\n Those who are aware of these matters prior to the time that they happen perhaps will have enough \u201clove of the truth\u201d that they, unlike others, will not end up being deceived (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12).\u00a0 (Thiel B.\u00a0 The Last Pope.\u00a0 Nazarene Books, 2013, pp. 106-111,112)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n Some items of related interest may include: The Last Pope: Do Biblical and Catholic Prophecies Point to Pope Francis?

\nThe Last Pope: Do Biblical and Catholic Prophecies Point to Pope Francis?<\/a> What does the Bible say about a pope near this time? Is the final pope to be an antipope and antichrist? Does Catholic prophecy point to Pope Francis as being the dreaded “Peter the Roma”? This 186 page book provides information and answers. This book is available for USD$9.98 in printed form The Last Pope: Do Biblical and Catholic Prophecies Point to Pope Francis.
\nThe Malachy Prophecies and \u201cPeter the Roman\u201d<\/a> An Irish bishop allegedly predicted something about 112 popes in the 12th century. Pope Benedict XVI was number 111. Francis would seem to be number 112–if he is that one–and if so, he is to reign until Rome is destroyed. May he be an antipope\/final Antichrist?

\nCould Pope Francis be the Last Pope and Antichrist?<\/a> According to some interpretations of the prophecies of the popes by the Catholic saint and Bishop Malachy, Pope Francis I is in the position of “Peter the Roman,” the pontiff who reigns during tribulations until around the time of the destruction of Rome. Do biblical prophecies warn of someone that sounds like Peter the Roman? Could Francis I be the heretical antipope of Catholic private prophecies and the final Antichrist of Bible prophecy?
