COGwriter<\/a><\/p>\n The recent sex scandals within Roman Catholicism are causing concern and major problems for the Vatican all over.\u00a0 Notice the following reports:<\/p>\n TANZANIA<\/strong>: But Bishop Methodius Kilaini of the Bukoba Roman Catholic church, says although it is not the first time the sex scandal have rocked the church, Tanzanians are \u201cnot in any good mood about it and we are also feeling the pain.\u201d http:\/\/thecitizen.co.tz\/sunday-citizen\/38-sunday-magazine\/1641-priests-sex-shame-what-tanzanian-catholics-think-about-the-unfolding-scandal.html<\/a>)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n GERMANY<\/strong>: Nearly a quarter of Germany\u2019s 25 million Catholics are considering turning their backs on their Church in the wake of the child abuse scandals, a survey published Friday found. The poll of more than 1,000 Catholics by the Forsa Institute published by daily Bild, found 23 percent of Church members said they were thinking of leaving. http:\/\/www.thelocal.de\/society\/20100423-26739.html<\/a>)<\/p>\n AUSTRIA<\/strong>: More Austrians than ever in history are expected to leave the Catholic Church this year.<\/p>\n Official figures from today (Thurs) show that 30,004 people left the Church in the first three months of this year, up by 42 per cent compared to the same time span of 2009 when more people than ever cancelled their membership. http:\/\/austrianindependent.com\/news\/General_News\/2010-04-22\/2247\/Record_2010_Church_exodus_expected_after_whopping_first-quarter_figures<\/a>)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n LOS ANGELES <\/strong>– The head of a Roman Catholic order that specialized in the treatment of pedophile priests visited with the then-pope nearly 50 years ago and followed up with a letter recommending the removal of pedophile priests from ministry, according to a copy of the letter released Wednesday.http:\/\/www.msnbc.msn.com\/id\/36123847\/ns\/world_news-europe\/<\/a>)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n While nearly everyone is aware of the scandals, few people do seem to be aware that these scandals may actually help fulfill an old Catholic prophecy.<\/p>\n Notice the following written several centuries ago:<\/p>\n Venerable Bartholomew Holzhauser<\/em> (Born in the 17th century, in Germany). The fifth period of the Church, which began circa 1520, will end with the arrival of the Holy Pope and of the powerful Monarch…The Great Monarch will come when the Latin Church is desolated, humiliated<\/strong>, and afflicted with many heresies (Dupont, Yves. Catholic Prophecy: The Coming Chastisement. TAN Books, Rockford (IL), 1973, pp. 38, 114).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n The recent sex scandels have humiliated the Church of Rome, which is referred to the as “the Latin Church” above (to distinguish it from the Eastern\/Greek church). People leaving it may contribute to it being “desolated”.<\/p>\n The Great Monarch that the prophecy speaks about shares many similarities with the one that the Bible warns will rise up as the final Beast of Revelation<\/a> and the the final King of the North<\/a> in Daniel 11:21-44. If the above prediction by Holzhauser is correct, then it is possible that these sex scandals will be a factor involved in the humiliation of the Church of Rome for this time.\u00a0 There are many other Catholic private prophecies that suggest a time when Catholics will not have much respect for their church, but after a time of trouble, this is supposed to change and an ecumenical version of that church is expected to rise up.<\/p>\n Perhaps it should be mentioned that some others have noted similarities between the Great<\/span> Monarch and the coming Beast-Antichrist power. Notice the following:<\/p>\n The tradition of the Great King and the Holy Pope…first emerged from the Tiburtine Sibyl<\/em>, a work that may date back to AD 380-400…Catholic writer Paul Thigpen warns, “Looking for the Great Monarch, then, who does not appear in Scripture, might lead to overlooking the Antichrist who does…It might even lead to…mistaking the Antichrist for the Great Monarch…” (Penn L. False dawn: the United Religions Initiative, globalism, and the quest for a one-world religion. Sophia Perennis, 2005, p. 420).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n The Bible warns about a time when the Beast and False Prophet rise up.\u00a0 These individuals share characteristics to the “Great Monarch” and an “antipope” foretold in various Catholic prophecies.<\/p>\n Whether or not there is any accuracy to these “private revelation”, according to biblical prophecy, we are very near the time when the “Beast” leader and “false prophet\/Antichrist” will rise up.<\/p>\n The sex scandals may be a piece of the puzzle for certain end time prophetic events to line up.\u00a0 The Vatican and its followers truly have found them to be “humiliating”, which is what Holzhauser seems to have wrote.<\/p>\n Some articles of possibly related interest may include:<\/em><\/p>\n Who is the King of the North?<\/a> Is there one? Do biblical and Roman Catholic prophecies point to the same leader? Should he be followed? Who will be the King of the North discussed in Daniel 11? Is a nuclear attack prophesied to happen to the English-speaking peoples of the United States, Great Britain, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand<\/span>? When do the 1335 days, 1290 days, and 1260 days (the time, times, and half a time) of Daniel 12 begin? When does the Bible show that economic collapse will affect the United States?
