The Great Deception of the Antichrist

I was the confessor for the last four years of a holy religious diocesan sister, SISTER PAOLA MEZZETTI, fourth oldest among six children from a religious family; her father was a fisherman at Lake Trasimeno. From the beginning of her consecrated life she offered her life for priests and bishops, knowing that there were many bishops in Masonry. She offered catechism classes in many parishes of the diocese of Perugia and cultivated a community (“Queen of Victories and Mother of Renewal”) around her, one of which became a priest. One day before she died a few from this group came to visit her. Sister Paola did not respond being very sick. At a certain point, she spoke her last words, not with a sickly voice but with her normal clear voice and said:

“We must pray to God that He gives us the discernment of the Holy Spirit in order to recognize the antichrist, so that none of us might kneel before him, but that all of us might seek the true Christ!”

(Last exhortation of Sister Paola, March 17, 2019, as if inspired …; born March 13, 1937; died March 18, 2019.)

Sister Paola had the courage to not close her eyes to the signs of our times as do so many today: “IGNORANCE IS BLISS!” How does Christ refer to those who do not want to open their eyes to THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES, to those who have embraced the philosophy of life of “ignorance is bliss”? “YOU HYPOCRITES! You know how to interpret the appearance of earth and sky; but why do you not know how to interpret the present time?” (Lk 12:56; Mt 16:3; 24:32-33,51)! “Take heed that no one leads you astray. … many false prophets will arise and lead many astray” (Mt 24:4-9). “Let the reader understand” (Mt 24:15). “There will be false teachers among you …” (2Pt 2:1-3). “None of the wicked shall understand; but those who are wise shall understand” (Dan 12:9-12).

“For false christs and false prophets will arise and show great signs and wonders, SO AS TO LEAD ASTRAY, IF POSSIBLE, EVEN THE ELECT” (Mt 24:24).

“Also it was allowed to make war on the saints and to conquer them” (Rev 13:7).

“Error is being taught and propagated beneath the ambiguous formulas of a new cultural interpretation of truth; the spirit of the world finds welcome; it spreads its malignant influence and leads so many souls to accept sin, to justify it and to live in it” (Our Lady to Don Stefano Gobbi, July 26, 1983).

Jesus said to Saint Faustina (of the Divine Mercy): “YOU WILL PREPARE THE WORLD FOR MY FINAL COMING” (Diary of Saint Faustina, 429). Jesus also said to Saint Faustina: “Woe to them if they do not recognize this time of My visitation” (Diary, 1160).

Writing about the second coming of Jesus Christ in the second letter to the Thessalonians, St. Paul tells us: “Let no one deceive you in any way; for that day will not come, unless the REBELLION (APOSTASY) COMES FIRST, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God. Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you this? And you know what is restraining him now so that he may be revealed in his time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, and the Lord Jesus will slay him with the breath of his mouth and destroy him by his appearing and his coming” (2Thess 2:3-8).

“The Church's ultimate trial: Before Christ's second coming the Church must pass through a final trial that will shake the faith of many believers …” (CCC 675-677; http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/__P1V.HTM).

Pope Benedict XVI INVITED CARDINAL BIFFI TO OFFER THE ANNUAL LENTEN RETREAT for the Pope and the top members of the Vatican (Feb. 27, 2007). The cardinal speaks often on the theme of the Antichrist. The Times of London reported in 2004 that the Cardinal described the Antichrist as “walking among us”. “Days will come in Christianity in which they will try to reduce the salvific event to a mere series of values.” It is a key passage in the last work of Vladimir Soloviev, “Tale of the Antichrist”, at the center of Cardinal James Biffi’s reflections. The Russian philosopher, who died in the year 1900 with great acumen, had prophesied the tragedies of the 20th century. In the “Tale of the Antichrist”, recalled the cardinal, “THE ANTICHRIST PRESENTS HIMSELF AS PACIFIST, ECOLOGIST AND ECUMENIST. He will convoke an ecumenical council and will seek the consensus of all the Christian confessions, granting something to each one. The masses will follow him, with the exception of small groups of Catholics, Orthodox and Protestants who will resist and will say to the Antichrist: ‘You give us everything, except what interests us, Jesus Christ’.” For Cardinal Biffi, this narrative is a warning: ‘Today, in fact, we run the risk of having a Christianity which puts aside Jesus with his cross and resurrection’ (http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2016/10/russia-will-punish-world.html).

“[Satan] will set up a counter church which will be the ape of the [Catholic] Church … It will have all the notes and characteristics of the Church, but in reverse and EMPTIED OF ITS DIVINE CONTENT.”

“We are living in the days of the Apocalypse, the last days of our era. The two great forces – the Mystical Body of Christ and the Mystical Body of the anti-Christ – are beginning to draw battle lines for the catastrophic contest.”

“The False prophet will have A RELIGION WITHOUT A CROSS. A RELIGION WITHOUT A WORLD TO COME. A religion to destroy religions. There will be a counterfeit Church.”

“Christ’s Church the Catholic Church will be one; and the false Prophet will create the other.”

“THE FALSE CHURCH WILL BE WORLDLY, ECUMENICAL, AND GLOBAL. It will be a loose federation of churches and religions, forming some type of global association.”

“A world parliament of Churches. It will be emptied of all Divine content, it will be the mystical body of the anti-christ. The Mystical Body on earth today will have its Judas Iscariot, and he will be the false prophet. Satan will recruit him from our Bishops.”

“THE ANTICHRIST WILL NOT BE SO CALLED; OTHERWISE HE WOULD HAVE NO FOLLOWERS. He will not wear red tights, nor vomit sulphur, nor carry a trident nor wave an arrowed tail as Mephistopheles in Faust. This masquerade has helped the Devil convince men that he does not exist. When no man recognizes, the more power he exercises. God has defined Himself as “I am Who am,” and the Devil as “I am who am not.”

“Nowhere in Sacred Scripture do we find warrant for the popular myth of the Devil as a buffoon who is dressed like the first “red.” Rather is he described as an angel fallen from heaven, as “the Prince of this world,” whose business it is to tell us that there is no other world. HIS LOGIC IS SIMPLE: if there is no heaven there is no hell; if there is no hell, then there is no sin; if there is no sin, then there is no judge, and if there is no judgment then evil is good and good is evil. But above all these descriptions, OUR LORD TELLS US THAT HE WILL BE SO MUCH LIKE HIMSELF THAT HE WOULD DECEIVE EVEN THE ELECT–and certainly no devil ever seen in picture books could deceive even the elect. How will he come in this new age to win followers to his religion?”

(Communism and the Conscience of the West, by Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, Bobbs-Merril Company, Indianapolis, 1948, pp. 24-25)

On November 11, 2013, Archbishop Carlo Maria VIGANÒ, the Apostolic Nuncio (Papal Ambassador) to the United States, addressed the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops at their annual fall meeting in Baltimore, Maryland.

Archbishop Viganò quoted as “profoundly prophetic” remarks made by Blessed John Paul II (then Cardinal Wojtyla) during the Eucharistic Congress on Aug. 13, 1976 for the Bicentennial celebration of the signing of our Declaration of Independence:

“We are now standing in the face of the greatest historical confrontation humanity has ever experienced. I do not think that the wide circle of the American Society, or the whole wide circle of the Christian Community realize this fully. We are now facing the FINAL CONFRONTATION between the Church and the anti-church, between the gospel and the anti-gospel, between Christ and the antichrist. The confrontation lies within the plans of Divine Providence. It is, therefore, in God's Plan, and it must be a trial which the Church must take up, and face courageously….” (Cardinal Ivan Dias also quoted this at Lourdes, France, on December 13, 2007).

Archbishop Viganò said that he viewed these words “as a call to attentiveness, watchfulness and preparedness for whatever proclaiming the Gospel may mean for us as successors of the Apostles, who were called to give radical witness to their faith in Jesus Christ.”

“Thus I make it known to you that from the end of the 19th century and shortly after the middle of the 20th century…the passions will erupt and there will be a total corruption of morals… As for the Sacrament of Matrimony, which symbolizes the union of Christ with His Church, it will be attacked and deeply profaned. FREEMASONRY, which will then be in power, will enact iniquitous laws with the aim of doing away with this Sacrament, making it easy for everyone to live in sin and encouraging procreation of illegitimate children born without the blessing of the Church… IN THIS SUPREME MOMENT OF NEED FOR THE CHURCH, THE ONE WHO SHOULD SPEAK WILL FALL SILENT.” (http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2015/09/the-false-pope-will-fall-silent.html).

Our Lady told us by way of Don Stefano Gobbi (June 17, 1989; http://our-lady-priests.blogspot.it/):

“In this period of history, the Antichrist is manifested through the PHENOMENON OF ISLAM, which directly denies the mystery of the Divine Trinity and the divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ. Islamism, with its military force, breaks loose everywhere, destroying all the ancient Christian communities, and invades Europe, and it is only through my extraordinary motherly intervention, begged for powerfully by the Holy Father, that it does not succeed in destroying Christianity completely. (…) In this period of history, the Antichrist is manifested through A RADICAL ATTACK ON THE FAITH IN THE WORD OF GOD. Through the philosophers who begin to give exclusive value to science and then to reason, there is a gradual tendency to constitute human intelligence alone as the sole criterion of truth. There come to birth the great philosophical errors which continue through the centuries down to your days. (…) The work of the Antichrist, in this period of history, is THE DIVISION OF THE CHURCH and the consequent formation of new and numerous Christian confessions which gradually become driven to a more and more extensive loss of the true faith in the word of God. (…) In this period of history, Freemasonry, assisted by its ecclesiastical form, will succeed in its great design: that of setting up an idol to put in the place of Christ and of his Church. A FALSE CHRIST AND A FALSE CHURCH. (…) Then the door will be open for the appearance of the man or of THE VERY PERSON OF THE ANTICHRIST!”

Father Pellegrino Maria Ernetti (1925-1994), a Benedictine Monk in the Abbey of Saint George Major in Venice (Italy), where he received hundreds of people each week to undergo exorcism, began to record on magnetic tapes these exorcisms, and so little by little emerged a catechesis on the devil.

It was recounted to Pope John Paul II that the Vatican's chief exorcist, Father Gabriele Amorth, “knows too many bishops who do not believe in the Devil”. The Pope replied bluntly: “ANYONE WHO DOES NOT BELIEVE IN THE DEVIL DOES NOT BELIEVE IN THE GOSPEL”. When asked: “WHAT DO YOU SEE AS SATAN’S GREATEST SUCCESS?”, Amorth replied: “The fact that he has managed to convince people that he does not exist. He has almost managed it, even within the Church. We have a clergy and an Episcopate who no longer believe in the Devil , in exorcism, in the exceptional evil the Devil can instill, or even in the power that Jesus bestowed to cast out demons. … And they no longer believe in the Devil. We have entire Episcopates trying to counter exorcism. We have countries completely devoid of exorcists, such as Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Spain and Portugal. This is a shameful shortfall.”; (http://www.speroforum.com/site/article.asp?id=2879; http://www.vaticans.org/index.php?/archives/61-An-interview-with-the-Vaticans-chief-excorcist,-Father-Gabriele.html).

The following is the documentation of the confessions of a human demon, a dammed priest, by way of an EXORCISM (April 5, 1978) on a Swiss woman.

THE ABBOT VERDI-GARANDIEU, A HUMAN DEMON, priest of the diocese of Tarbes, France in the seventeenth century, addresses this pathetic message, THROUGH A POSSESSED WOMAN, to his brothers in the Priesthood, to beseech them - by order of the Most Holy Trinity and the Virgin Mary - to go back onto the narrow road of the Gospel, and so prevent themselves in their turn, from suffering in eternal Hell the horrible fate which befell him because of his infidelities to grace.

During an exorcism the demons are forces to reveal what is commanded of them in the name of God or the Blessed Virgin Mary etc. These confessions OFTEN REVEAL SATAN’S MOST POWERFUL BUT SUBTLE AND HIDDEN TRAPS which lead countless numbers of souls toward and into hell. I believe the following document will help many people of good will to take the precious gift of life, as well as eternity, much more seriously in a world in which Satan has done all he can to put us to sleep spiritually and to convince us that hell does not exist.

That is a serious twisting of what scripture says. Jesus said,

“IF YOU ABIDE IN MY WORD, you shall know the truth - and the truth shall set you free.”

Notice the huge “IF” at the beginning. Only those who “abide in His word” will know the truth - and only THEY will be set free.

Take out the first two phrases of this conditional statement, and you make a lie.....”the truth shall set you free.” which is NOT true if a.) you don’t abide in His word, and b.) then you will not KNOW the truth, and c.) the truth will be the truth - but it won’t set you free.

Yes. But the antichrist will be a political leader, and the false prophet will be a religious leader. Thus I believe that Bergoglio is the false prophet, unless Freemasonry decides to retire him and put in another false pope worse than Bergoglio!

You might find interesting these articles which give references that Bergoglio was not canonically elected!

Pope Benedict XVI Forced To Resign

A Letter to My Bishop
https://spir-food.blogspot.com/2019/02/a-letter-to-my-bishop.html

But any of us can so easily slide into subjectivism and relativism without realizing it, and believe that we abide in His word! That is why Jesus Christ founded a Church, made up of sinners, but with the promise to guide it until the end of time, in matters of faith and morals. A couple of examples of this would be the Eucharist and contraception.
When Pope Paul VI issued his prophetic encyclical, “HUMANAE VITAE” (1968), there was an incredible negative reaction not only on the part of the laity who wanted to enjoy the pleasures of sexual relationships without any responsibility or openness to life by using artificial birth control, but even on the part of a great number of priests and bishops, even entire Episcopal conferences (e.g., the ‘Winnipeg Statement’ of the Canadian Bishops)! BEFORE 1930 ALL MAINLINE PROTESTANT DENOMINATIONS WERE IN ACCORD WITH THE CATHOLIC CHURCH that the use of artificial birth control was a grave evil and a serious sin. When the Anglican Church changed its stance in 1930 (Lambeth Conference) the other protestants churches quickly followed suit while Pope Pius XI reaffirmed the Church’s constant teaching on this grave evil in his encyclical Casti Cannubii (1930). Do we believe that we can make it to heaven without imitating Christ crucified to overcome our egoism and to learn to truly love, without being generous to life (“be fruitful and multiply”; Gen 1:28; 9:1,7; 26:24; 38:8-10; Ps 8:6-9; 127:3-5; Sir 17:2-4; Ex 1:7; Wis 9:2; 10:2; etc.)? WE ARE NOW UNDERGOING THE CHASTISEMENT (Mt 24) of Divine Mercy, as the last chance of conversion (Diary of Saint Faustina, no. 1588), for our rejection and great rebellion against God’s holy and saving laws with “a personage not canonically elected, raised to the Pontificate, (who) will endeavor to administer shrewdly to many the mortal poison of his error!” (The “Prophecy” of Saint Francis (Assisi); http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2013/11/prophecy-st-francis.html).

Another example is the Eucharist. John chapter 6. It is interesting that the only verse in the whole Bible with the number 666 is John 6:66, when many disciples did not believe in the Eucharist!

The first target of Satan is the Catholic Church. You might find some of the references about this interesting in the article:
A Letter to My Bishop
https://spir-food.blogspot.com/2019/02/a-letter-to-my-bishop.html

But first we must go through the greatest purification of the Body of Christ, the Church, in the history of the Church. Just as Christ was crucified and buried 2000 years ago, and then the resurrection, so too for His body the Church:
The Church’s ultimate trial
675 Before Christ’s second coming the Church must pass through a final trial that will shake the faith of many believers. [573] The persecution that accompanies her pilgrimage on earth [574] will unveil the “mystery of iniquity” in the form of a religious deception offering men an apparent solution to their problems at the price of apostasy from the truth. the supreme religious deception is that of the Antichrist, a pseudo-messianism by which man glorifies himself in place of God and of his Messiah come in the flesh. [575]
676 The Antichrist’s deception already begins to take shape in the world every time the claim is made to realize within history that messianic hope which can only be realized beyond history through the eschatological judgement. the Church has rejected even modified forms of this falsification of the kingdom to come under the name of millenarianism, [576] especially the “intrinsically perverse” political form of a secular messianism. [577]
677 The Church will enter the glory of the kingdom only through this final Passover, when she will follow her Lord in his death and Resurrection. [578] The kingdom will be fulfilled, then, not by a historic triumph of the Church through a progressive ascendancy, but only by God’s victory over the final unleashing of evil, which will cause his Bride to come down from heaven. [579] God’s triumph over the revolt of evil will take the form of the Last Judgement after the final cosmic upheaval of this passing world. [580]
CCC 675-677; http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/__P1V.HTM

A false pastor will start out by qouting what Jesus said
but then give a hundred and one reasons why it is not to
be taken literal, in other words never mind what the Bible
says because it don’t say that.

I will tell you what it says.

Many shall come in my name saying I am Christ and decieve many.

Beware of these false preachers and read the Bible.

But how do I know that I am not doing the same thing? What guarantee do I have that I have that true humility to seek only the uncomfortable truth of God and not of myself?
In the USA there are more than 30,000 independent protestant groups, all with the same Bible, same Jesus, same God, but often interpreting certain very fundamental passages of the Bible in very different ways! Did not Christ know this and did He not give us a solution for this problem. But if there is not the humility to embrace the one true Church that Christ founded, we freely choose to follow the very dangerous path of our own (or of others) subjectivism and relativism, for all eternity!
If one has true humility, ready to lose everything before God, this person will not be delude and God will guide this docile person. But if a person is secretly attached to something else that is not God, including himself or his own glory, then he has freely chosen his delusion.
Referring precisely for our times of the great apostasy we read:
“God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” (2Thess 2:11-12).
“I heard, but I did not understand. Then I said, “O my lord, what shall be the issue of these things?” He said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end. Many shall purify themselves, and make themselves white, and be refined; but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand; but those who are wise shall understand.” (Dan 12:8-10).
But of course, the first target of Satan is the One true Church, infiltrated, and attacked in every way possible especially in these last times. As I quoted to another person in this post, just as Christ was crucified and buried 2000 years ago, so too the Body of Christ will be crucified and buried in this period (CCC 675-677). Only after this will there emerge a purified Church, more beautiful than every before.

You might find very enlightening “To the Priests, Our Lady’s Beloved Sons”.
Almost twenty Cardinal and more than 150 Bishops, more than 50,000 priests and religious, have followed the Marian Movement of Priests (MMP), receiving by way of the book which contains the messages, precious teaching from the Mother of God, in this devastating attack of the ecclesiastical Masonry on the sound doctrine of the Church and the Sacraments, especially the Most Holy Eucharist.
Many bishops have given their Imprimatur to this book. You will find in these messages of Our Lady revealed through Don Stefano Gobbi a resemblance to the writings of Saint Louis de Montfort, Saint Therese of the Child Jesus and to the messages of Our Lady of Fatima, with the sweetness that only the Mother of God, and the Mother of each of us, could communicate to those open to the caresses of Our Lady!
“The Polish Pope had indicated to Don Stefano Gobbi the way to contact him directly, by way of his Secretary Mons. Stanislaw Dziwisz, in his name. … One day Pope John Paul II said to Don Stefano Gobbi, pointing his finger at him: “You are pastor of the whole world. (…) July 1 (2011), solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Cardinal Ivan Dias being with the Holy Father, informed him of the death of Don Stefano and of the Holy Mass celebrated the day before at Collevalenza. Pope Benedict XVI, after a brief pause of silence, pronounced these words: “He went straight to heaven”. (“Pastor of the Whole World – Biography of Don Stefano Gobbi” (“Parroco di Tutto il Mondo – Biografia di Don Stefano Gobbi”, di Mariadele Tavazzi; Edizioni San Paolo, 2015; pp. 181, 200). (http://our-lady-priests.blogspot.it/).

Thank you! That’s an excellent suggestion. Thanks for reminding me.

There are two versions, and I have both, but I haven’t opened either yet.

No excuses. I have overwhelmed my self with way too much to do theses days and I think my will power needs to go back to martial arts.

It’s like the clock and calendar are beating me up before and after school every day.

But how do I know I am not doing the same thing?.
_______________________________________________
Good question and being honest is a pretty good indication of sincerty and i do not believe we are going to be punished for not getting every thing right.

If we are teaching some one else we should not pH unless we have lots of proof from the Bible, otherwise tell them to figure it out for themselves, they can do it if it needs to be done.

I believe there was only one true church and that was the church at jersulem set up on the day of Pentecost for the purpose of spreading the gospel to the world.

Since then the gospel has been preached to all of the world.

A little by one church a little by another some willingly, some not so willingly but it was good who got it donea he used what he had to do it with.

If you worry that you are doing the right thing you probably don’t have nothing to worry about or you will see the wrong.
