Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò doesn't believe that the Vatican published the third secret of Fatima completely in 2000.
Viganò told DiesIrae that those who saw the secret before its publication, said that it is about the Church’s apostasy which doesn't appear in the official version.
He blames the Cardinals Sodano and Bertone for this, and strangely passes over the fact that Cardinal Ratzinger participated in the publication and even wrote the secret’s official interpretation.
Viganò warns of attacks on the priesthood like the introduction of deaconesses, abolishing celibacy, and blurring the difference between the ministerial and the baptismal priesthood.
His guess: Francis will not officially allow female deacons but tolerate them quietly if German or Dutch dioceses go ahead. He stresses that Communion in the hand was introduced this way. After that, "Conservatives" could claim that “the Pope hasn't allowed anything new.”
For Viganò the Council’s Lumen Gentium committed a “doctrinal error” by turning priests into "presiders" of assemblies. He suggests treating the Council like the Pistoia Synod which contained errors and was therefore buried in oblivion.
Viganó observers that, after the Council, the Church of Christ was replaced by a “modernist and masonic” neo-Church that “sees itself as the spiritual arm of the New World Order, and as a defender of a Universal Religion”.
This corresponds for him to a masonic plan and prepares "the advent of the Antichrist.”

So a “vision” from over 100 years ago is combined with a conspiracy seeking revenge on the church for losing their power 700 years ago, is ushering in the AntiChrist?
Got it.

From the viewpoint of traditional Christians, Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox, and even among those who don’t believe in a literal devil, current events seem pointing to a near future in which there is widespread persecution of Christians, either in the form of extreme social ostracism (loss of employment, etc.) or in overt persecution. It’s happened in Western Civilization several times since the French Revolution, and continues to this day in parts of the Muslim and communist world. You don’t need to believe in visions to observe that.

There has been widespread persecution for centuries. It is ramping up and becoming both more novel using technology, and becoming openly established as acceptable in culture and institutions. In both action and by speech.
Large numbers of people have information overload/fatigue via the internet, which has resulted in an inability to see the evil and the dangers in our midst, and where it is leading. When you said “overt persecution”, perhaps you were pointing to increases in corporal persecution - even to the point of killing people in societies that once would not consider that as possible. If so, we could be approaching that doorstep as the acceptability of corporal punishment becomes common. Some would say that the riots permitted and encouraged by elected givernment officials is part of the persecution of the innocents, many Christian.
Very interesting Steve. I’ll see if I can find the book. Thanks.
You may join the ranks of FReeepers who have steered me to some great reads, and enlightenment.
The average person usually equates persecution with bodily injury, torture, death. It’s more than that of course. Today, the media and the internet appear to be building foundations that would justify more drastic persecution that that America has not institutionalized.
Some could say it has already happened - with abortion, followed in a couple of decades by open discussion and “mercy killing of the elderly - all contrary to Christianity. The next targets are those in between pre-birth and the natural end of life stages.
The book is called “Journey to Mt. Athos.” He wrote a follow-up a few years later called “Return to Mt. Athos.”
THANKS! I’ll check it out. I appreciate it.
I think I spelled the author’s name wrong: it is Spyridon Bailey, not Spiridon Bailey.
