Franciscan University of Steubenville professors Mark Miravalle or Scott Hahn do not themselves constitute the problem which will lead to the prophesied Great Apostasy. Franciscans exploiting Medjugorje, forbidden by the local bishop, are not the problem. Lukewarm, false, and faithless low-life Catholics in-name-only who divorce Peter for ear-tickling teachings are the problem.
“The Lady of All Nations Who Once Was Mary: Coredemptrix, Mediatrix & Advocate,” was condemned so long ago the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (which renewed the multiple condemnations) was called the “Holy Office.” That’s not good enough for thrill-seekers.
Father Rene Laurentin seemingly never saw a Marian apparition he didn’t like. Father Laurentin voted “no” on the “Final Dogma” with the rest of the Vatican Theological Committee. Even Marian theologians are not good enough. Only pop theologians can cater to the pop mind.
Literally millions of petitions hit the Vatican from Miravelle’s VOX POPULI minons, as stoked by Queenship Publishing’s pamphlets, sales of condemned works and pilgrimage pimping. EWTN isn’t going to kill that cash cow. Hahn isn’t going to slay that golden egg-layer. And this whole travesty hangs on one thing: popularity, not piety.
The Vatican has ruled, and no bishop may override this. Like the charismatic Luther, on whom Hahn is an expert (a rather quiet expert that never discloses his glaring perversions), Hahn and MIravalle were both troubled youths now basking in fame for their great minds. Obedience is the first fruit of love. To reject Christ’s servants, let alone His Servant of Servants, Peter, is to reject Christ and the Father, as Jesus said.
AmChurch would have you believe the voice of the people, or hedged rulings of provisional bishops, takes precedence over Peterine Authority. Millions of sheep are led astray by the self-deluded intellectuals. All was prophesied, even geniuses whom God would leave to their own demented devices. Having not the love of the truth, Jesus warns, they will fuel their lying minds with abject error.
But that was then, Hahn would say, this is now. That warning against intellectuals doesn’t hold. Hahn is a Semi-Preterist, saying virtually all prophecy was fulfilled, and except for Christ’s Second Coming, nothing big is on the horizon. There won’t be any Antichrist. There’ll be no Beast, no economic Whore of Babylon falling as merchants weep. There’ll be no Woman Clothed with the Sun and no persecution.
The real “Woman Clothed with the Sun” appeared at a Church-approved Marian venue, Fatima, stating the “only” means to peace was the consecrtion of Russia to the Immaculate Heart by all bishops, led by Peter, each in their respective Cathedrals at one solemn, public time. Fist-shaking “Mary” contradicted Fatima at Amsterdam, giving her own formula for world peace–the adoption of the bogus “Final Dogma.”
WWSD? What Would Satan Do? Give a false means to peace which gains greater popularity than the daily Rosary, or collegial action. There are only two options: Seed of the Woman, brothers and sisters of Jesus Christ; or the Seed of Satan, Father of Lies (first) and Murder (second). Who’s your mama?
