I watched Silence last night and I thought it was media’s way of getting Catholics to give in. I was very disappointed.

The film Silence is based on the novel by Shusaku Endo. He was a Catholic.

The novel was based on a real incident. The Jesuit in question served as an interpreter, helping the courts convict his fellow Christians, until one day he stood up in court and told the judge, “I can do this no longer. I am a Christian.” He was tortured even more than his fellow Christians but did not recant, and was eventually killed. He is now listed in the Jesuit records as a martyr.

A little off topic, but I thought I could share anyway :angel:t6:
I’ve talked about it a (very) little before in other threads, but before I fully gave myself over to Christ, I was into a lot of occult communities and had quite a few friends in them. When I left all that behind, I kept in infrequent contact with a few of the…uh…less occultic ones I guess you could say. I say all that to say that the other day, one of them sent me a message asking if I’d “felt anything” spiritually. I asked her what she meant by that, and these are her exact words:
“[My guides]* have been acting funny lately. Really anxious, like something’s about to happen. I know you’re not into all this anymore, but I was wondering if you’d heard anything from an angel or something? Every spirit I’ve asked has just said something big is about to happen and they keep asking for more and more energy.”
I just think it’d interesting that even these so called guides and other spirits feel the shifting of the winds so to speak.
*edited out the names of her guides since I figured you guys probably don’t want to know that.

Yes. Thank you. I believe that simply reading the name on a computer screen (much less a printed page) comes dangerously close to calling the entity.
Having said that, maybe you can point out to your friend that if her guides are acting nervous, perhaps it’s time to tell her guides that “We need to start seeing other people.” Let’s face it. I don’t know ANY angels who are afraid or made nervous by ANYTHING. And if OUR side is making THEIR side nervous, it doesn’t bode well for their side.
Glad you’ve been able to break free! And yes, I, too, have felt a disturbance in the force. Nothing I can p(name removed by moderator)oint, though.

I have really been struggling with my faith in general lately. I had never before even heard of sedevacantism until about a month ago and it shook me to my core. I don’t know if it’s a banned topic and the likes of the Dimond Brothers are extreme, but their videos and information at holyfamilymonastsry is so shockingly chilling and makes a lit of sense in some aspects. Even going thru RCIA in 2012, and having been more “anti-Catholic “ before coming home, I of course delved into end times Catholic prophecy and only got so far as to know Vatican II radically changed not only the language of the Church, but the world perception of it too. But being such a newbie to the faith, and being almost shunned or iced out when I brought up questions about it to my newly made devout Catholic homeschool friends, with remarks like, “You always follow the Pope/He’s infallible “, I learned to shut my mouth pretty quick, and then life happened and I stopped delving so deep into Vatican II, but there was always an unease around Vatican II for me, and when Benedict resigned, lightning struck the Basicilla, and Francis emerged (however you feel about him he puts doubts about a lot of Church dogma regarding remarriage, homosexuality, etc) and when I found out these extremists views, they honestly resonated and that scared me. I don’t want it to resonate, but I’m so confused right now on the New Mass (all we attend), what exactly to make of Vatican II, and how various approved apparitions (La Salette and Akita) seem to tie into such extreme views. I guess I’m just venting but I’m literally scared for my soul and faith right now. Plus my family thinks I’m nuts. I’m used to that to an extent but it would be nice to just feel accepted sometimes. Okay. Vent over

A few years ago I used to watch a Christian program called ’ The silencing of Christians ’
There is an excellent Christian News Program called ’ Trunews ’ with Pastor Rick Wiles at the helm. They have produced many relevant video programs about trending events in the world. Thousands of their videos are on Youtube. Recently Youtube bosses decided to vet all of their content. Utube policy is - Three strikes and you’re out ! They found two videos from 2014 which they took exception to . Then they found the third one. That was a video about the Armenian Genocide made a few years ago. So now Trunews is banned from youtube permanently. Notwithstanding Trunews have almost completed the preparation of their own platform .’ .The suppression of free speech is likely to bring together denominations which previously might have seen each other as enemies

A cataclysmic event would remove the technology which is used to control the population. If there were world wide conversion of survivors, then perhaps a theocracy

I did many calculations and I believe there are around 350-450 years to go. Independent sources from different places and ages reached the same conclusion.
Some day I’ll publish an article about it…

What the heck! I’ll ignore the ice still floating on the top of the lake and just jump in. (It builds character. Or something.)
This is from Spirit Daily from five years ago: http://www.spiritdaily.net/prophecychurch1.htm
There was Saint Bridget of Sweden (1873): "When the feast of Saint Mark shall fall on Easter, the feast of Saint Anthony on Pentecost, and that of Saint John on Corpus Christi, the whole world shall cry, ‘Woe.’"
The Feast of Saint Mark commemorates Mark the Evangelist and takes place on April 25. Easter Sunday falls on April 25 in 2038.
Saint Anthony’s feast falls on June 13. Pentecost Sunday is on June 13 in 2038.
The Feast of St John is fixed at June 24.
The Feast of Corpus Christi is a movable feast, which means that it depends on the date of Easter Sunday. It is celebrated on the Thursday after Trinity Sunday, which falls one week after Pentecost Sunday. Corpus Christi falls on June 24 in 2038
(NOTE: In the dioceses of the United States, celebration of the Feast of Corpus Christi is transferred to the following Sunday.)
SO:
in 2038 Easter is on April 25 (the latest date it can fall) which is the Feast of St. Mark.
In 2038 the Feast of Corpus Christi falls on June 24, which is the Feast of St. John.
In 2038 Pentecost falls on June 13, which is the Feast of St. Anthony.
WOE! (Or is it, “Whoa!” ?)

I find these statements interesting:
Admittedly the vast majority of the replies to these threads are skeptical, but I find this interesting nevertheless.
And:
And this thread is not the only place where this kind of sentiment is expressed. Here are some other recent threads on CAF expressing concern that this current crisis could be part of some apocalyptic setting:

It’s hard to say without knowing who she was directing that to… or if the world as a whole says “Woe” at itself.
I know there’s plenty to weep about Sweden on it’s own though.

I’m so new to what exactly sedevacantism even believes, but have noticed everyone and everything is a heretic and that has only added to my confusion and not strengthened or renewed my faith. I say it resonated because it put Vatican II in a perspective I hadn’t thought to look, as I knew the New Order Mass has always been seen as inferior, and I’ve never even attended a TLM. But I felt this when compared to what the “old school” Mass is always portrayed as, even just in movies. So reverent and beautiful, (NOT to say some New Order Masses aren’t) but since we’ve moved a few times in the past four years, (and moving from a more traditional form of the New Order Mass to where we currently are) even those differences are striking enough that when I just recently stumbled on the rationale of the likes of SSPX and the extremist views of sedevacantism, their “logic” triggered a kind of knee jerk reaction. That obviously doesn’t mean it’s right, but I’m an obsessive personality type anyway, so this did not bode well for my OCD. The only silver lining in all of this is my children and I (and all as a family at night) now pray the entire rosary daily, broken up in morning, afternoon, and evenings, and they LOVE it. I figured I’d need to pray my butt off and discern this information, and the one constant all the resistance movements and traditional and new order mass has in common and agreed is paramount in staying in a state of grace as well as numerous other spiritual benefits is to pray the 15 decade rosary daily. My two year old calls it the “rosy” and wears hers like a necklace, chiming in with “Jesus” , “Mary” and “‘’tation” (temptation :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes
. But since I started paying more attention to the signs of the times, secular at first with the lies of MSM, the horrors of freemasonry infiltration, etc, it also caused my faith to spin and doubt, but led me to pull my children back out to homeschool, and brought me full circle in my faith by starting our first of the First Friday and Saturday devotions. Shortly after that successful completion, there was the stumbling block of sedevacantism and all its potential horrors. Combine that with taking a “real look” (what even IS a ‘real look’ ) at Vatican II again PLUS our general state of secular horror, and again I’m reeling. But I don’t have many Catholic (or any, really) friends to bring this stuff up to to bring me back down and so I come back to this thread, my original “home” Muzhik started long before I started lurking, to hijack the thread once again (lol!) from particular end times pertinent observations to needing reassurance and correction. Or conviction. I’m not even sure. But it was the only place I felt comfortable enough posting my doubts without fear of looking like a loon and hoping to be shown that sedevacantism CAN’T be true. But again, I feel like I’m coming full circle again after reeling (O yea of little faith…how little it takes to blow down my straw house) with a fervent devotion to the rosary. It takes only 15 minutes 3 times a day. And my kids bug me if I forget. So, two steps forward, one (GIANT) step back! Also, I have found one church that offers the TLM within half an hour of us.

It is a triple Whoa! to me as I LITERALLY just started reading St Bridget’s revelations yesterday morning. And literally, last night, because it’s April and I can never sleep in April, was Googling if or when April 25 (my St. Brooklyn’s birthday) would ever fall on Easter, and lo and behold, in 2038, it does. That was the only reason I was even looking, the only reason I cared if Easter fell on that date, just last night, the same day I started reading St. Bridget’s revelations. And (name removed by moderator)…I’ll be 57 then, so I got ya beat!

In this blog post by Fr. Dwight Longenecker, I found an interesting quote:
@jheckle81 I understand your trouble with the current crisis. I must admit, my faith is also weak. I often doubt because of random news coming out of the Vatican. But sedevacantism doesn’t work. If it was true, then Christs promise that the gates of hell will not prevail, would be proven false. I highly recommend the two books by Cardinal Sarah, about silence. It is important to turn to prayer in these times.
Bishop Sorondo is the fanboy of the Chinese government, that made headlines some week ago. His ideas about the future are chilling. If this kind of thought is prevalent in the Vatican, it could explain a lot.

What I make of it (2038) is that it would be the 100th anniversary of the Great Aurora of the night of Jan. 25-26. Both St. Faustina and St. Lucia of Fatima recognized this as the great sign that G_D was going to punish the world with another, worse world war. I’m also thinking of an analysis (that I forgot to bookmark) which pointed out that in Job, his calamities didn’t come at once but were in 2 separate events. So the events predicted by Pope Leo in his vision of a century given over to the Evil One don’t necessarily mean a contiguous 100-year period, but possibly two eras that together form a 100-year period.

That really sucks (pardon my French). I’d rather not think of dying in some nuclear holocaust in 20 years. It does no good for my anxiety. I wish the prophecy came with a call for repentance, just to hope we can fix this. Rather than just some straight up destruction for mysterious reasons and circumstances.
