Concerning The Papacy
Guatemala, 8 February 1990
My dearest children, I bless you in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
Dear children, Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the God of love, the God that died nailed to a cross for love of you speaks to you.
Dear children, I am speaking to you, because I want to talk to your hearts. Therefore, incline your ears and listen to My words, so that, in this hour of darkness that reigns in the world and in the hearts of My sons, they will be a light for you and for the Church. Today I am going to talk to you about the PAPACY.
The Church that I founded began very small, hated, persecuted and martyrized. There were many martyrs in the beginning and, at its birth, there were blood, tears and pains.
My Church began with much pain and suffering. And at that time, the Jewish Church that crucified Me died They did not love My Father or their Messiah. And for this reason, the One God, the God of Love repudiated them, and Jerusalem fell into the hands of their enemies, and the Temple was destroyed. Many Israelites died; others were sold into slavery. And from that moment, they were dispersed over the whole earth. And they were condemned to not have a country, peace or king. And their shame and reprobation were made known to all the nations.
And then the Jewish nation and its Church were destroyed. And its name from that time on would be an object of reprobation and contempt wherever they went, for having been the slayers of God. And they will remain like that until they believe in Me, in the God that their fathers crucified.
My Church began small and hated. But little by little, It began to grow, because I helped it to flourish, and My sons began their sanctifying work in the world. Free at last of these disturbances, the Church began Its task of salvation. However, the devil, furious over this great success, placed obstacles, and waited in ambush, and annoyed. them to make them fall, raised enemies against them. And the Church would have to be victorious for many centuries over the many heresies and scandals, that would come to oppose the way of the salvation of man.
The devil stirred up these afilictions, making it necessary that, by their existence, there would be a constant fight in order to face so many infernal enemies. But, to face these devils, the Church counted on Its priests, holy men who would be in charge of teaching the truth, and to influence the practice of virtues with their exemplary life, prayers and sacrifices, and their love for Me. However, this was not always like this. Because, when the first sons died, with their holiness, with their ardor, with their sacrifice and their love for Me, they evaded the ambushes of the devil, and did not allow the evil to enter into My Church. And that way, they remained in the light, because seeing their ardor and love, I protected them and always helped them to keep My Church holy and clean. But when these sons of Mine died, others came with pagan ideas, that did much harm to My sons. Those who came after were not strong; and they did not let the Holy Ghost guide them; and they succumbed into the hands of the devil.
Some popes were not popes, but antipopes, because they did not love the Church, they did not protect It, take care of It or serve It. Instead, they caused It many harms.
Some of My sons behaved like rebellious children, and guided My people with pride and disobedience. They made no effort, and did not pray with humility. They forgot to be humble and sagacious, and they laughed at My warnings. There have been many schisms, because My sons forgot to pray and to ask the Holy Ghost to enlighten them. However, I love them, and I did not forget them. And with great love I sent Him to them.
But these popes, with their pride and arrogance, did not want to listen to Me. They refused to listen to the Holy Ghost that spoke to them through weak instruments, be they man or woman. How many weak instruments have I sent with the mission to counsel and guide these My sons? Some listened, others no. But those that listened were humble and obedient; and with their humility and obedience, they did not permit the devil to destroy My Church. But those who were not humble and obedient to My voice opened the door to traitors to Me; and by doing this, they were converted into antipopes.
My children, I want to talk to you about this word, because many of My sons do not have a Clear understanding of this word, and it confuses them. An antipope is not one who overthrows another pope. The true concept of an antipope is this: Any son of Mine who is a pastor of My Church and turns against Me and against My Doctrine, and harms the rest of My children is an antipope.
Some popes have died in mortal sin, because they did not want to be humble and obedient to My voice. And many people say:
“Impossible! The popes are assisted by the Holy Ghost.” Yes, they are assisted by the Holy Ghost. But, if they refuse to listen to My voice, the Holy Ghost departs from them, and leaves them at the mercy of their rebelliousness and their concupiscence. And these same sins, when they are not confessed with the intention of not sinning again, are what impede them from seeing and listening.
I have demonstrated to them throughout many centuries that without Me they cannot rule, they cannot guide My people along the right path, and they cannot do anything. I left My Church in the hands of men, so that they could teach My Holy and Pure Doctrine to My children. But in these times, they have introduced false doctrines, that deceive My children, and they lead them into an apostasy from My true Doctrine.
Concerning My sons the popes, I have always spoken to them in different ways, through various seers and prophets, and I have spoken to avoid error. I have often spoken to them, but they did not pay any attention to Me. My Blessed Mother has also spoken to them, but they did not pay attention to Her either. Sons, the time, the time has been shortened considerably, because the wheat and the weeds have matured and are ready for the harvest. And that is the end of time.
In the history of the papacy, there have been good popes and bad popes. There also have reigned very holy popes, however, there have also existed antipopes, and what does this mean? It means that some of My sons let themselves be seduced by the devil. They forgot that they were living members of the One and Holy Church. They forgot that they were living members of My Church.
And the Church is a vine. And this vine is I, I who nourish My sons. I am the true vine and My Father is the husbandman, and all of My branches that do not bear fruit I will cut off, and those that bear fruit I will prune, so that they will bear more fruit.
My sons are the branches. And he who remains in Me, and I in him, will bear much fruit. But he that does not remain in Me will be cast out, just like the branches that dry up, and die, and serve no purpose but to be thrown into the eternal fire.
And it was for this reason that I pointed out to them that they should be alert, because the devil is waiting to ambush them, and will catch them unprepared, even though I have always alerted them by means of My apparitions and those of My Blessed Mother.
My sons the popes, bishops, priests, nuns and laymen could not silence this great truth that I stated throughout the centuries, and that is, that a pope is not infaillible, if he separates from Me, he is infallible, if he remains united to Me, because it will be the Holy Ghost that speaks through him. But if he is not united to Me, he will be just like any man, subject to error and subject to changes. This great truth man cannot deny, even if they wanted to.
The confusion that now reigns in My Church is a sign, because, when I prayed in Gethsemani, I took Peter and the other disciples, so that they could accompany Me during My sorrow. But they did not accompany Me, because they fell asleep, and could not pray. I prayed and prayed, while My disciples slept. When I saw Peter sleeping, I said, “Simon, are you asleep? Could you not be vigilant one hour? Be vigilant and pray, so that you do not enter into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” I prayed again. And when I returned, I found them asleep. Their eyes were heavy with sleep, and they did not know what to answer Me. I left them, and I went again to pray for the third time. And later I said, “Sleep now and rest, because now the hour is at hand. And I am going to be delivered into the hands of sinners.”
Peter is a figure of the first pope. And as pope, he represents others who will come to occupy his place in My Church. And while he slept with the others, Judas worked to deliver Me to the enemy. But I prayed to My Father for this Church, so that It would be victorious in this great battle. At that moment, I did not call Peter, Peter, but Simon, because I still did not consider him pope.
He had to be tested, before he could be called “Rock.” Peter, as everyone knows, denied Me three times. And I allowed this, so that men could see the Mercy of the Lord, so that they could comprehend that, if Peter denied Me, what would the popes that followed him be like. If Peter denied Me, Who instructed him, having given him My love, and treated him as My friend, and yet if he denied Me, what would become of those popes to whom I would not manifest Myself so openly?
That Peter could deny Me was permitted, so that men would comprehend that popes were men like any other, with their defects, problems, troubles, doubts, and above all, for their great absence of love for Me, and also to demonstrate that, in the Church, there would be human popes, so human that some would be haughty and proud, others weak and cowards, but also some very saintly and holy.
This incident of Peter signifies two very important happenings, the beginning of a time and the end of another time. Peter is here the figure of the pope at the beginning and end of times, and represents a pope that sleeps, a Church that sleeps, while the enemy works to destroy It. And I pray to the Eternal Father for Her. And I also pray, because the pope and his collaborators are sleeping, sleeping soundly without being aware that, while they are sleeping, the devil is working to snatch souls away from them, and to destroy the Church. And for this reason, I said, “Pray and be vigilant, because you do not know the hour. Pray, pray, so that you do not enter into temptation.”
They did not pay attention to Me. They abandoned prayer and penance and, by abandoning them, became an easy prey for the devil. Because he found them sleeping, and then easily planted the weeds in My Church, planted confusion and sin. And My sons, because they were soundly asleep, did not put up any resistance.
My children the popes, priests, bishops, cardinals and nuns were sleeping and, for this reason, were not aware when the devil was introduced into the Church, and caused so many disorders. And because these are so great, if they do not repent and rectify their error, they will be condemned.
My beloved children, this passage is being repeated, because just as Peter denied Me at that time, John Paul II also denies Me.
Blessed are those who are not scandalized by My words, because today I. arri going to tell you the truth. My beloved children, open up' your eyes, observe the times; evilness has entered into the Church.
John Paul II has denied Me, when he did not want to attend to My call to destroy the doctrine of the Second Vatican Council, because this doctrine is against Me; when he does not want to return to the Tridentine Mass and reject the Novus Ordo Mass; when he persecutes My true priests and My true people; when he unites with the impious and places idols in My Church.
And for this reason, the punishment cannot be avoided, because he, as My vicar, can see to it that My children repent and, that way, many, many, many of My children can be saved. But he did not listen to Me nor does he change his ways.
My sons the pope and priests do not see the evil that they introduced into the Church - they do not see it. And it takes them on a course that I, their Divine Founder,' did not set for them. It takes them on the road to apostasy, because they have changed My Holy Doctrine and the' Perpetual Sacrifice that I deposited in My Church.
Beloved children, you must 'listen to Me, and comprehend that the Time is ending, and that the Great Punishment that I have announced through various seers is coming nearer. Listen to My anguished call, because the Antichrist is about to manifest himself to the world, and he will sit on My throne; because many of his followers are governing the Church, and are the ones who are preparing the' Church for his commg.
Those that were responsible for taking care of the Church fell asleep, and the devil took advantage of their great negligence, and planted evil. And this evil – it is harming all humanity.
The Church will always be in danger. And this is the age when they should be very careful, arid should conduct themselves with much prudence, so that they don't fall into error and, guided by the Holy Ghost, see where the danger is, and then avoid it. .
This is the age when the devil will be introduced. I stated this in the Bible, but they did not understand. They laughed at these prophecies, and rejected them and; by doing this, caused the ruin of the Church. Well, the devil is destroying the Church, and they are not aware of it. And the priests or any other person, who knows what is happening and speak, are silenced And by doing this, they are helping the devil, so that everything is done easily.
The evil began when man, including the consecrated, forgot God, and acquired strange doctrines, and some even rebelled against God. And they supported human wisdom, and rejected the wisdom of God. They abandoned Me in order to follow a dream, to dispute, and they began to commit error after error. They did not want to understand or want to implore the Holy Ghost. And little by little they began falling into a profound darkness.
The devil has always wanted to destroy the Church, because he knew that, with the Church on earth, many souls would escape his hands. And therefore, he took advantage of the pride and vanity of, men, and lie inspired strange atheistic doctrinesto cause their 'great' fall. The first to fall into the net were the men who ·were far from Me, the 'sinful men' And because of their sins, they did not see the evil that hung over them. And it began to multiply to the great joy of the devil and to a very great sorrow for Me.
There were born with dreadful horror in the world. doctrines of impious philosophers, that little by 'little caused the spiritual death of My sons, and not only them, but of all humanity. The devil, triumphed with ·the help of man that introduces impious doctrines to' My sons. And this is where' the great contamination begins. Humanity accepts these impious doctrines, and it makes them forget about their divine origin, the spiritual and holy life that I gave them as a model of perfection, in order to acquire a material, obscure and empty life.
The progress arid growth of evil in the world and in the Church was growing, but My ingenuous sons were slow to react. They did not recognize the grave danger' that they were in. Their inertia did not stop the evil in time. And the people were surrounded by a total indifference of ideas, of a false modem liberty that is fatal for their souls.
The evil grew and grew. And My Mother appeared to My sons, but they did not listen to Her. And with this rejection of Her Messages, all of the evils that were announced were precipitated, because My sons, instead of correcting themselves and abandoning sin, they bound themselves to it. Evil will advance so much that it will depopulate the holy people.
The progress that the terrible impiety makes, the secret societies, modernism, communism and the evil that governs the world conspire to depopulate and destroy the Church. All of this was announced at La Salette and Fatima, by My Mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary, but not one of My sons the popes obeyed No one listened to the warnings, causing, by despising them, the ruin of souls. The evil came, because they did not want to listen to My warnings and Her counsels that were always communicated to My sons. But with their pride, they always despised them.
The evil has grown so much that now, in order to survive this great catastrophe and not to lose the faith before so much evil, one needs an intrepid faith. Because now My true children need this faith to oppose the attacks of the wicked, and to be able to continue living in the grace of God. Because the warnings of My Blessed Mother at Fatima were not obeyed, the war left many grave wounds in the Church and in the world.
Many more of My children lost the faith, and they went sorrowfully and disillusioned in a different direction from the good way.
There were very few who remained faithful. The popes forgot their sacred duty to guide and teach the rest of My children the true Doctrine. They forgot to love and serve My Blessed Mother. And because of this, many were ignorant of the truths that were necessary for their salvation. And from this ignorance come the evils that are now saddening souls. The war provoked a profound commotion, and all those things that were of value to man fell down, making way for all those evils that for years had been fighting to develop in the souls of My children.
The evil penetrated into the world, but the definite penetration, the final penetration is that this evil penetrated into the Church and penetrated with the grave error of John XXIII of convoking an ominous council. Evilness definitely penetrated into the Church, and all that they had done deceitfully was made known. And then began the first outbreaks of insurrection, and the One and Holy Doctrine that I had deposited in My Church began to be blown to pieces. And these same priests do not want dogmas, they do not want mysteries, and they begin to talk of the Incarnation, of the Resurrection, of the Virginity of My Blessed Mother, and they begin to confuse the rest of My children with their blasphemies and mistaken doctrines.
That evilness penetrated into the Church was a great triumph for the devil, who was trying to do this fora very along time. Evil penetrated into the Church and destroyed My holy and pure Doctrine. And it was a pope that did this. This was not done by My true sons or seers, or by Me. It was the popes themselves. It was various popes who did this, who cooperated with the devil, so that this could be accomplished.
And John Paul II supports this false doctrine against all odds, come what may, prejudicing the souls of My children. It was the popes themselves that helped the devil, they who were charged with taking care and keeping watch over the flock and the Church. They were the ones, who turned them over to the evil one, because they did not want to listen to the warnings of My Blessed Mother or Mine.
