The Seven Ages of the church is uh an analysis made by a
0:07
German priest or a or a vision presented by a German priest the venerable
0:13
Bartholomew halza who dated from the first half the 1600s so that's 400 years
0:19
ago uh he was a very good priest and he founded a a way of living as priests
0:27
rather like the society that say he believed in in priests living together in community and not living on their
0:35
own uh he also wrote this commentary on the book of the apocalypse which is
0:41
possibly the most difficult book of the of the whole Bible to interpret the very last and most difficult book which is
0:47
actually uh prophecies concerning the future of the church but it's not easy
0:52
to interpret he gave this he wrote up to
0:57
he thought he was inspired in what he wrote up to uh chapter 15:4 and then he
1:04
stopped because he thought his inspiration simply run out so rightly or
1:09
wrongly he felt it was inspired in his version of his presentation of the
1:15
chapter 2 and chapter 3 chapter 2 and Chapter 3 of the Apocalypse are the letters to the seven
1:23
churches smrna Philadelphia bergamon lisra maybe some of you know and he said
1:31
he he says these seven churches correspond to seven ages of the church
1:39
I'm sorry the seven letters to the seven churches correspond to The Seven Ages of the church and he said uh that he was at
1:48
the beginning of the fifth age of the church and we are if he is right what
1:53
makes a lot of sense is that we are at the end of the fifth age of the church
2:00
then will come the sixth age and then will come the seventh age but before that let's see very
2:07
swiftly The Seven Ages The Seven Ages begin of course with our Lord Jesus
2:17
Christ and they begin in 33 with the the church begins with the
2:22
crucifixion of Our Lord on the on the on in 33 and the blood and water pouring
2:29
from his side are the beginning of the church baptism and the Holy Eucharist blood water and
2:35
blood the there are three Ages which
2:41
climb uh the first age goes until 70 and it's the age of the
2:49
Apostles when the apostles were sewing the seeds by traveling everywhere and
2:56
preaching for the very first time our Lord Jesus Christ in all these many
3:02
countries in 70 the the 70 is a landmark because in 70 the temple was destroyed
3:10
the the second temple built uh after the Babylonian captivity the second temple
3:16
was destroyed and the Mosaic religion came publicly to an end religion of the Old
3:23
Testament it came in reality to an end with the death of Our Lord our Lord upon the cross that the end of the Old
3:30
Testament the beginning of the New Testament but the the worship in the temple the Mosaic worship of the of the
3:37
religion the Old Testament of Moses the Mosaic worship went on until 70 but then
3:43
it came to a stop when the one Temple where it could be practiced was destroyed the Catholic church has
3:49
churches everywhere the Old Testament only had one Temple and that was in Jerusalem which is why the Jews to this
3:56
day are so attached to Jerusalem in any case the destruction by the
4:01
Romans the the Jews set up a revolt and the Romans just went in there they were
4:08
they were fed up with the Jews they went in there and they just destroyed Jerusalem and the Jews were scattered
4:15
all over the world but our lord said that the they
4:21
would be back at the end of the times of the Nations and that's in our own time the
4:29
end of the times of the Nations was Vatican 2 because that's when the
4:34
Gentiles the non-jews also rejected our Lord you could say the Jews rejected our Lord
4:43
They Crucified him and the mass of Jews ever since have continued to fight the
4:48
Catholic Church there have always been Noble exceptions but the large number of the Jews have always fought against the
4:54
Catholic church but with the Vatican 2 the when
4:59
the Jews rejected our Lord the Gentiles picked up the ball and ran with it and it was a magnificent run it ran through
5:06
many centuries but it came to an end finally in uh with Vatican 2 you can say
5:12
when the Gentiles also dropped the ball and turned and refused our
5:18
law but the 17th was when it's clear that the Mosaic Mission came to an end a
5:25
new age of the church opened it's the age of the martys the second age of the church is the age
5:32
of the martyrs that goes from 70 to about
5:40
313 there were 10 bloody persecutions they they usually divide
5:45
the the persecution of the Christians in Rome into 10 the first was under Nero
5:50
the 10th was under Dian in the early 300s between those another eight
5:56
persecutions the Roman Church the Roman the Roman Empire reacted against the
6:03
Catholic church and while a number of the Romans became Martyrs and they were
6:10
Noble uh they were the noble founders of the Catholic Church M virgin Martyrs for
6:16
instance uh the large the large part of the Romans they virile manly and warlike
6:23
race and they they reacted in manly and warlike fashion
6:30
against the Catholic church but the martys won because the example of the
6:36
Christians of the Catholics that were ready to die for their faith without fighting without resisting they just
6:42
were they were perfectly happy to die and to go under the steamroller of the
6:48
Empire finally that example won over the Romans the Roman Empire converted it
6:54
took 300 a well a little over 200 years but the Romans finally these warlike and
7:00
manly people finally recognize this is the way we should be going when it comes
7:05
to religion in 3113 there was a fight between two of
7:11
four Emperors Constantine and maxus at the Battle of the Milan Bridge before
7:17
that battle in 313 our lord said our Lord spoke to Constantine and he said in
7:23
this sign you will conquer the Cairo called The Labyrinth and uh Constantine
7:31
had the good sense to do what our lord said to put the Cairo of kist Cairo the
7:38
first two letters of Christ in Greek he put the Cairo on his Banner of his
7:43
battle battle standards and he won the battle against maxus Max sensus drowned
7:48
in the Tyber with his horse right next to the Milan Bridge which still exists today a Roman Bridge built 100 years
7:56
before Christ is still there except one Arch which which was blown up in the time of
8:02
gabal the Roman Empire converts and we move into the third age of the church
8:08
because the police are no longer against the Christians and throwing them to the
8:13
Lions the police are now on the side of the Christians against the pagans who refused to be Christian and the Pagan
8:21
Empire is now a Catholic we enter into the third age of the church which is
8:26
going to be the age of the doctors doctors
8:32
because if the devil can no longer get rid of Christians by getting them down
8:38
the throat of lions he's going to do it by attacking their minds he's no longer get got the police and the Lions to
8:44
attack their bodies because the police are now on the side of the Christians so he's going to attack their minds with
8:50
heresies this is the age the third age of the church is the age of the great areses and because of that the Lord God
8:57
raises a series of great doctors a cluster of doctors St Jerome St
9:04
Augustine St nazas St Gregory of Nas St Gregory of uh nazan St Gregory of N St
9:12
Gregory of nazan St Bas the four Greek doctors are all in this age St athanasius and three of the the great
9:20
Latin doctors are in this age the only one isn't is is Gregory the Great who is
9:25
a little later but it's the age of the doctors when the church needs not
9:31
Martyrs so much as some very profound and clear thinkers and the church is
9:37
working out the doctrine that the apostles left the the doctors are not inventing Doctrine they're working out
9:44
Simply what the apostles reveal the the doctors are not revealing new doctrine
9:49
the doctrine is closed with the death of the last Apostle in6 but the doctors are having to work it out and develop it
9:56
against the cunning errors being worked out by being worked up by the devil
10:01
third AG of the church less Satan plus or minus 500 and those are three ages climbing
10:09
they're in green for gold that was if you can imagine it today an age when the
10:14
church was simply climbing can you imagine all that we know of today is the
10:19
jurge retreating retreating retreating and that's how it's been what we'll see for quite a long
10:25
time then we come to the fourth age of the church which is a thousand years of
10:34
christom that's Christendom from five about
10:39
500 until 500 uh 1500
10:47
15517 thousand years during which the the the the church is the queen of
10:54
civilization there aren't many heresies during these Thousand Years there are
11:01
there there there is persecution there is the muhammadan heresy muhamad the
11:06
madism Rises about the 600s and that does a lot of damage it it it stops the
11:12
Middle East being Catholic it stops North Africa being Catholic it stops even Spain being North Catholic even for
11:19
a little while in the early 700s the Muhammad has break into France they're now of course way back into Europe as
11:26
they were back then uh but the FR French pushed them
11:32
out uh 7:32 the Battle of quer and then the Spaniards after centuries starting
11:38
with u palaya the the the uh konga the
11:45
Spaniards centuries and centuries the Spaniards work at getting the the Moors
11:50
the the Arabs the muhammadans out of Spain finally in 14 uh
11:57
14 1492 they reconquer Granada but it's
12:03
taken a long effort but it's obviously providential
12:09
because uh the Spaniards and the Portuguese are then in shape to create
12:15
the create Latin America which is a rosary of Nations created by the Spanish
12:23
soldiers the Spanish and Portuguese soldiers and missionaries sold
12:30
first or backing up the missionaries the missionaries couldn't do it without the
12:35
soldiers the soldiers couldn't do it couldn't hold an empire without the missionaries Latin America is an
12:42
extraordinary achievement if you stop and think about a whole continent cont one and a
12:49
half continents the whole of South America Central America the lower part of North America Central America and all
12:55
of it Catholic and Catholic for many hundreds of a few hundreds several hundreds of
13:02
years and many many Souls that go to heaven thanks to those missionaries and
13:08
those soldiers don't think you know it it's obvious the soldiers are necessary the
13:15
missionaries couldn't have done it on they'd all have got killed but with the backing of the soldiers they but that
13:23
the soldiers couldn't have done it without the mission is in this sense that the soldiers that only the CH did
13:29
not have all that many soldiers in the whole of South America and yet they held South America a few hundred years how
13:36
did they do it because the native peoples realized that the soldiers and missionaries were there for their
13:42
benefit the soldiers and missionaries were not just there to plunder all the gold far from it Christopher columbus'
13:49
motivation was religious and the Spanish monarchs motivation was religious starting with
13:57
Ferdinand and especially Isabella who backed Columbus to cross the uh Atlantic
14:02
in the first place today of course the historians lie
14:07
about Latin America because as they lie about everything Catholic because those the historians that get themselves
14:14
established in today's universities and schools but the
14:19
Catholics it was a stupendous achievement and save millions and millions of
14:26
souls but that's 49 to2 but actually uh in this plan in in this time while Spain
14:35
and Portugal are really getting their Catholic act together Isabelle and Ferdinand called the Catholic monarchs
14:42
those race catholicos uh nevertheless the the May
14:48
PR is on is on a decline uh in early 1400s St Vincent
14:55
Farah goes all over Europe preaching the end of the world uh he's out by about 600 years he's got
15:02
his calendar wrong but essential he's right because implicit in this decline
15:08
in this decline is the end of the world therefore um Vincent era and God
15:16
gave him to work H he was a thorat a tremendous Miracle Worker God doesn't
15:23
give a liar miracles to back up what he says and yet Vincent Farah thought the
15:29
end of the world was very close actually with x-ray eyes he was seeing in the
15:35
decadence of christom on The Late Middle Ages these are the Middle
15:45
Ages those from this these thousand years are the Middle Ages and uh the
15:53
what Vincent Ferris saw was that the the the decadence of the late Middle Ages
15:59
would end up in today what we've got today today we've got a fearful de a
16:06
simply fearful decs the latest thing is um manman marriage woman woman marriage
16:13
and that's organized obviously by Freemasonry and Freemasonry the which is an organization
16:19
against the Catholic church has can do virtually what it likes the people in
16:25
general are so corrupt that they incapable of pulling their minds
16:31
together to resist the free uh the advance of Freemasonry Freemason is just
16:36
advancing from one Victory to another the Catholic poor Catholic Church is advancing from one defeat to another and
16:42
now we've arrived at Pope Francis somebody just called him to me the master of disaster and he's going to
16:49
take it as Pope to a quite new level makes a lot of s is the man has got almost nothing to
16:57
do with Catholicism all that one can say about him is that just as boiling water apparently freezes
17:06
faster as boiling water freezes faster than normal water normal temperature
17:13
room temperature water so a goofball who's miles away from the Catholic faith
17:19
May convert better than somebody who's really sort of semide decent food so
17:26
this goofball may may may under a miracle of
17:31
God convert and that's what we got to pray for but at the moment he is just a
17:36
disaster for the purpose of the Catholic faith it's in God's hands God knows what he's doing but he's an example of the
17:44
faith and the Catholic Church On The Retreat on The Retreat on the
17:49
retreat Vincent FES trouble coming uh 1517 Luther Luther the great Protestant
17:57
heresy breaks up we enter into the fifth age of the church the fifth sixth and seventh age
18:04
of the churches will simply be all the way down to the
18:10
Antichrist so it's from Christ to the Antichrist in 2,000
18:16
years uh the fifth age of the church goes from 1517 until we don't quite know
18:22
when it's still running now the fifth age of the church for is for inance
18:29
in three at least three sections you've got
18:35
1517 Luther you've got in
18:42
1717 Freemasonry launched officially in
18:47
London London is not a Catholic City no way and in 17 and in 1917 you've got the
18:56
Russian Revolution and the Breakout
19:02
these are the three Great Waves of a rolling attack wave after wave of a
19:10
rolling attack against the Catholic church I was saying earlier that the the
19:16
main spring of history is if you're Catholic you can understand this if you got the faith you
19:22
can un senters the main spring of history is the fight of Christ against Satan and Satan against Christ and his
19:30
mother for the Salvation or damnation of souls Christ took flesh of the
19:35
Incarnation and he died on the cross in order to found the church and save
19:40
soldiers ever since the Incarnation of Christ and the death of Christ upon the cross the fight for Christ and against
19:47
Christ has been the driving force of History the enemies of Christ deny that
19:54
of course the freemes will say the driving force of history is progress going ever upwards upwards upwards
20:01
science technology a progress that's a great lie it's a great
20:09
illusion Humanity may be getting better at things material things technological
20:16
things scientific in the modern sense of the word but in things spiritual modern
20:21
man is simply worse and worse the obvious indication of that is the Arts
20:30
the music is uglier and uglier the visual arts are simply uglier
20:36
and uglier because the reason is men have no more
20:45
God in their souls when they they came from God they're meant for God when they
20:51
refuse God they are turning against themselves there's a grinding in themselves which can only produce
20:57
ugliness there there's a disharmony when men are turned against God there's a disharmony in themselves which can only
21:03
produce ugliness for the Arts and Music to revive human beings have got to come
21:10
back to God but but notice that where the mass
21:16
is the music restarts and people don't want
21:21
traditional Catholics Catholics who got the faith of all time don't want ugly music they don't want this modern music
21:28
music and they don't want modern art decorating their churches I mentioned a few moments ago the uh the churches
21:36
which are be the traditional caths are built in Germany many beautiful churches
21:41
with with genuinely beautiful art and it's simply because these people have the religion they're not brilliant
21:48
artists recognized in the universities or this the other it's simply they've got the faith and they want to make some
21:54
beautiful Ark to decorate their church and they it there it is and these
22:00
churches will be visited tomorrow by the tourists AR of the 20th
22:08
century cameras and photographs and everything it's it it's but the faith
22:13
it's the faith that generates these things that all the poor tourists go
22:18
around photograph photographing is a very secondary activity you it assumes you
22:25
got you've got something to photograph who is it produce the things that everybody else wants to
22:30
photograph the age of Photography is a secondary age who produce the things
22:37
then it's the age it's the age of faith that produce the the cathedrals the
22:44
churches the the the beautiful art and art has simply gone down ever since it's
22:51
not difficult to prove that that thesis and the fifth age reaches until
22:57
we we don't know exactly maybe 2017 let's put 2017 with a question
23:05
mark that would make about 500 years for the for the climb of
23:11
the church a th000 years for the height of the church and then 500 years for the
23:18
fifth age of the church and then the two last two ages are the Triumph of the
23:23
Immaculate part of Mary let's just say the Immaculate Heart of Mary and then the arrival of the
23:30
Antichrist now the Immaculate Heart of Mary is not going to be a decline it's
23:36
going to be let's it's going to be sort of like that it will be actually the greatest
23:43
trium many prophecies say that what's coming after the chastisement the
23:48
Turning Point here will be a chastisement only barol house talks about a Chas only
23:56
a great chastisement if you think think about it is capable of cleaning out the mess that there is
24:01
today nothing less will do it men are gone like in the time of Noah the the
24:08
the men an elephant can fall into an elephant trap but he can't get out men can by their original sin men
24:16
can get themselves into a mess which by themselves they cannot get out of that's
24:22
what where where we are today there are individuals who with the
24:27
grace of God can get out of the corruption but the corruption as a whole is only going to advance which is what
24:34
we're observing in the newspapers and so day by day and it's it's it's driving
24:40
straight into a brick wall and that brick wall is going to be a third world war and a chastisement so you got a
24:45
third world war and chastisement possibly in another four years possibly in 3 years possibly two years possibly
24:53
another 8 or 10 years but I don't think so I think it's going to be less than that 2017 might be not a bad guess for
24:59
the time of the chastisement but I don't know and it's not a truth of the faith it's not something it's an opinion a
25:06
speculation it's not something you have to believe but in any case after the chastisement we the
25:14
church enters into its six stage Our Lady of lalet said Our Lady of lalet the
25:21
famous secret of LEL our lady speaking to two little children in France in 1846 Our Lady of
25:28
said that 25 years of good
25:33
harvests are going to make men forget the lessons they've learned in the
25:39
chastisement and since they forget when they forget the lessons because it will be a great Tri
25:47
for the church one prophecy says Russia China and England will all convert
25:54
now that's pretty tough but that's one
26:00
prophecy uh every one of us will have been shaken like a rat in the mouth of a
26:06
dog every one of us would have been reminded of the god of Sinai who made the mountain
26:12
smoke so that the Israelites miles away were terrorized they were shaking with fear
26:20
at the at the manifestation of of God's anger of God's strength of God's
26:26
greatness God has been hiding himself for a long time and therefore people
26:31
think he's a cat a claw a declawed pussycat the Lord God is not a deep
26:39
clawed pussycat and watch out anybody who thinks he is because he's he's coming swinging back I don't know how
26:47
soon but I don't think he's far off and when he comes back watch him he going to
26:52
be frighten the prophecy is about the 3 days of darkness very probably chastisement will begin with the Third
26:59
World War and the third world war will morph into a Divine chastisement atom
27:06
bombs are not enough for the the anger of God of what's going on today we have completely forgotten with
27:14
the the the manifestations of the love of God the Sacred Heart the enacted heart all of these appeals by which God
27:21
has been trying to get through to a decadent age these appeals have not work
27:26
well they've done they've always saved a number of souls they've never been completely useless but they have not
27:32
stopped the downward slide of mankind and therefore the anger of God is going to kick in and when it kicks in we all
27:40
of us need to watch out but what after the chastisement we
27:45
are going to be our lady in Japan in 1973 said it will be the most terrible
27:52
chastisement that Humanity has ever seen uh the Good Will perish with the
27:57
bad the priests will perish with the Ley and the survivors will end with the
28:03
dead so terrible will be the the situation afterwards that the survivors
28:08
will sort of crawl out of the ruins after the three days of Dr seia Wells to survive many prophecies speak about that
28:16
it makes sense it makes sense but everybody will once again have the true
28:21
fear of God there will be uh it will be a great period of the love of God it
28:27
won't last very long why won't it last very long because of original sin the
28:33
chastisement won't have taken away original sin even for the survivors and they won't have to
28:39
reinvent the computer they won't have to reinvent all of these Tech all of this technology which greatly helps makes
28:47
easier sin when men didn't have the technology they have today it wasn't
28:53
when they were out on the farm made the things of nature there was a good good deal less sin there were of course there
28:59
was still sin but there wasn't sin as it's made so easy and so common in
29:05
today's big cities the big cities are especially Godless
29:11
because the big cities are an environment largely made by man steel
29:16
concrete black top traffic lights Motor Cars gasoline man-made things the 200
29:25
years ago most people in the United States live with the grass the flowers the horses the sky the donkeys the farm
29:32
animals things of God to be surrounded by things of God it's it's much easier to be close to God to sense God than
29:40
surrounded by the things of men and we are all of us today largely surrounded by the things of men it's much easier
29:46
today if you think about it it's much easier to be Godless than it was uh 200
29:52
300 400 years ago so all of these inventions of our artificial time our
30:00
artificial age our artificial suburbs all of these inventions won't need to be
30:07
reinvented because the survivors will remember them and they will simply recreate them I think that's one reason
30:13
why the why our lady of lalet says that 25 years of good harvest will make men
30:20
forget and then the corruption will start and it moves into the sixth the seventh age of the church which is the
30:27
age of the Antichrist and that also there will be a time of corruption moving from the sixth
30:35
age to the 7th age and then scripture says the reign of the Antichrist will last only 3 and a half
30:42
years and then uh the Antichrist dies and then an understanding of a certain
30:48
verse in the Book of Daniel is that between the death of the Antichrist and the end of the world will be 45
30:54
days these things are very difficult to see there are various prophecies as
31:00
Winston Churchill once said prophecies are especially useful after the
31:07
event so you try understanding Prophecy Before the event it's it's not clear so
31:14
we don't know we simply don't know all of this is much speculation but the but
31:21
huser says that the a the church the the letter to the sixth Church which I think
31:27
I think is Philadelphia I'm not sure but I think it's Philadelphia is is is an
31:33
encouraging letter but the age of the the the seventh church is the Church of
31:38
leoda and there is comes from there comes the quotation um because you are
31:43
neither hot nor cold but lukewarm I will I will begin to vomit you out of my
31:48
mouth says the Lord God to the Church of leod deia Luke Wars like today Catholics
31:56
Sunday Catholics Ted lukewarm about their faith can you imagine the
32:02
difference between ourselves and the Primitive Christians the Christians of here who were ready to
32:09
go to death for their religion I mean how many of us would really be ready to go to the mar them for our religion I'm
32:17
not at all sure that I I don't know none of us knows it's not
32:22
something to worry about but broadly speaking if you and I think about where we Catholics are at today and we think
32:29
about where the age of the Martins I think we don't come off too well in the comparison Luke Wars Luke War us at the
32:37
end of the fifth age Luke War us at the end of the seventh age and the fifth age
32:44
the end of the fifth age this is the dress rehearsal for that that's makes a
32:49
lot of sense that's why some people think we're already in the end of the world I don't think so but we are in
32:57
something that's very like what will the end of the world will be like okay those are the seven ages of
33:06
the church and that gives you a an un a kind of that gives you a handle on why
33:13
the church is today always retreating um Vatican 2 was a great
33:20
illusion of the church advancing Vatican 2 was t
33:27
we're getting better we're evolving the church is evolving to something better we're going upwards and not downwards
33:33
the truth is we're going downwards but when John the 23rd became popus you may remember he said away with the prophets
33:40
of Doom that was his opening speech at Vatican 2 he really thought the prophets of Doom were not on the uh were not
33:47
telling the truth he was kidding himself I mean bias the 12 spoke in very dark
33:54
terms about the way Humanity was going he said B 12 said that and he died in 58
34:01
so it's before 58 he said the world is in a worse State than in Sodom and Gomorrah or in the time of Noah what
34:09
could you imagine him saying today and the world has gone a long way down from the
34:17
1950s so it's it's an illusion that the world is getting better it will get
34:22
better after the chastisement then it really will take an UPS but the upswing according to
34:30
HZ and according to reasonable speculation the up swing may not last
34:36
all that long and according to our lady of and then will come the last stage and
34:43
the corruption of the sixth age will be the lead into the three and a half year
34:49
reign of the Antichrist which will be just terrible the most terrible persecution ever why will God allow the
34:55
most terrible persecution the church because it will produce According to some prophecies some of the greatest
35:01
Saints of the church ever the greater the persecution the greater the Saints so that's why you know God
35:09
doesn't think like human beings we think we'd like the world to be a clean we like the world to be nice like it was in
35:15
the 1950s uh God sees things different from how we see what he's thinking of is to
35:22
Great the creation of saints and hardship and difficulty and problems are
35:27
the making of sins then that gives you uh an overall
35:36
handle on why the church is today always
35:43
being defeated the soci of B the 10th was a push back of Catholicism Against
35:50
The Wretched modern world and the falsified church and now the society it's I'm afraid it's it's all to normal
35:57
if the society is giving away it's just the same church it's the
36:03
same pressure downwards it's the same uh the same decadence and
36:11
uh it's all too normal that's the way the whole world is going right now and
36:16
it will go like this until the chastisement it will get worse and worse
36:22
and the chest if the chest starts with the third world war it's going to be pretty terrible so G your loins uh
36:30
hunker down and Batcher down hatches prepare for trouble another example of
36:35
of trouble which is just around the corner for many people to see is the financial situation these tremendous
36:42
debts which are surely uh harbinger of a
36:49
great financial collapse if the milk lorries and the TR the milk trucks no longer arrive if the the the mark super
36:56
supermarkets run on a hairline that say the supplies come in just before they're
37:02
immediately sold there's very little time that the supplies hang around if the supplies run short and there's
37:09
nothing in the supermarkets people are going to be killing one another in the streets for sand than that in many big
37:16
cities in the depression of the 1920s and 1930s the
37:21
press3 many Americans were not far from the land they only recently come from
37:27
the land of the big city they could go back to the country they had some idea of how to make their own food and how to
37:33
survive that's no longer the case you and I have grown absolutely used to the supermarkets you and I will hardly know
37:40
how to live without the supermarkets advice start growing
37:46
vegetables in your backyard in your garden start growing your own vegetables
37:52
acquire now the skill which may come in very useful in another two or three years time I it's very difficult to
37:59
foresee on the other hand it might be no use at all because you you you grow vegetables in your garden and the moment
38:06
as the the hordes come out of the city looking for something to eat they'll rip up your garden in order to get something to eat I've got no idea I don't know how
38:14
it's going to turn all I know is you know that the best protection is the protection of
38:21
heaven and that's the most easy way to obtain the protection of Heaven is to pray the rosary therefore the best
38:27
insurance against this very difficult and dangerous time is I think the prayer
38:33
of the r but that's that's up to you so to speak all right let's move on and
38:39
let's look a little more closely at the recent age the more recent age and again
38:47
we're going to get an idea of why a closer idea will Zero in on the fifth
38:53
age of the church and will get a closer idea of why the ssbx is
39:01
collapsing again it's the most normal thing in the world let's
39:07
assume that the we're working again in red and
39:12
green let's assume that here is the the Middle Ages and here's the Catholic
39:19
Church the Middle Ages and the Catholic Church
39:27
is in possession so to speak of civilization that's that those Thousand Years the Catholic church is
39:35
Queen then comes protestantism protestantism breaks out in 1517 it didn't happen from one day it
39:43
didn't happen overnight prism was prepared by Heretics like Jan hus and
39:48
John wickliff S A few couple 100 or 200 years before prism breaks up it takes
39:54
about the third of Christendom with
40:00
uh it breaks off to the left and it falls into hell
40:07
prostitutes um and there's one3 of Christendom which is gone England
40:13
Scotland Wales north Germany Scandinavia and there's a good deal of protestant
40:19
trouble in France France does not go POS but it it it it's definitely touched by
40:25
it then the Catholic Church hits back with
40:31
the counc of reformation I mentioned that a few moments
40:38
ago and uh that creates a new Catholic
40:44
continent it's a strong reaction of the church and the church once again expands
40:50
so it's getting as in in 1531 as Henry VII separated the church
40:57
in England from the Church of Rome and built and and founded the Church of
41:03
England the same year our lady appeared in Balo and founded a new me a new
41:08
cathol nation in Mexico so Mexico sought of replaced England and then the whole
41:15
the whole of South America the whole of Latin America made up for the losses in
41:20
in Europe but Europe was beginning to go go back then
41:26
then comes the uh then comes the next great way I
41:35
mentioned protestantism uh Luther then you may remember the next one was liberalism so liberalis it corresponds
41:42
liberalism then grabs politics it doesn't take half of the
41:49
Nations and not the other half but it grabs politics in the Catholic Nations
41:54
this is and this is the French Revolution liberalism uh
42:00
1789 the French Revolution Liberty equality fraternity Freemason and that
42:06
swings off liberalism is the consequence of protestantism because protestantism
42:13
breaks the Monopoly of Catholicism protestantism says we've got the truth and they say things quite different from
42:19
the Catholic Church which says we've got the truth and so people can say well what is the truth where is the truth
42:26
Luther is absolutely clear about what that he's he's wrong but he's clear the
42:31
Catholics are right and they're clear but the result of somebody wrong unclear
42:37
again being coexisting with somebody right was clear is things are no longer clear so the Protestants remove Clarity
42:45
and from now on we've got confusion we got this liberal confusion marh in
42:50
people's minds Luther did not have mush in his mind he had error in his mind he didn't have mush
42:56
Catholics Catholics who know their faith and believe their faith do not have mush in their minds but the mass of modern
43:02
men have muchh in their minds because they're Liberal Liberal is this Dreadful
43:09
modern uh this Dreadful modern
43:15
wavering of this this rocking and rolling this uncertainty this this this
43:20
casting in doubt of everything the the undermining of the Mind the mushing of
43:26
the mind so that's liberalism the Catholic church again H
43:34
back the Catholic Church hits back with uh the 19th century
43:42
popes and there's a great missionary effort during the 19th century there's a great missionary effort of the Catholic
43:48
church for instance Africa is opened up Africa has not been opened up in this
43:53
age Africa is the dark conent but the missionaries be the Catholic
43:59
missionaries do a lot of work in the 19th century and the the faith is is
44:04
spread in in Africa it's also the missionaries are all over the world uh
44:10
various parts where they've never been before so there's the reaction against liberalism is another great effort of
44:16
the church so the church does expand once more but then comes a small an
44:24
error small in quantity but very perverse in quality and that's the era
44:31
of modernism so it's not going to take a large part of the church but it is going
44:37
to develop a new era which is going to swing off the same
44:43
way to the left it's modernism and
44:48
modernism the same time was communism on the other chart it was communism but this time it's modernism modernism is
44:55
the result of liberalism and protestantism protestantism has made possible liberalism uh 250 years later
45:03
liberalism makes possible modernism the around 1900 around
45:10
1900 um modernism is the reaction is the false reaction of Catholics to the
45:18
modern world the modern world is so powerful it's so the the World created by Pro liberalism is so powerful it's so
45:27
seductive It's So Glamorous it's so slick it's so appealing it appeals to
45:33
all the worldly instincts that the Catholics are strongly tempted well we
45:39
can't we can't resist forever the new modern world the new modern world is great and we can't resist it for we
45:46
can't go on forever condemning condemning condemning and so what we need to do to save the world and to save
45:52
the church what we need to do is to adapt the church to the the world so we
45:58
will take the content the substance of Catholicism will and empty it out we'll
46:04
keep the appearances of Catholicism but we'll empty out the substance that's modernism
46:11
imagine imagine a pharmacy with a whole lot of bottles and
46:17
you go in the night before you go in in the evening and you get but every bottle
46:24
has a label corresponding to the pills inside so you want this or that pill you will get the right pill because it's all
46:30
labeled correct imagine then somebody some delinquent breaks into the pharmacy
46:36
during the night empties out all the pills all over the floor and then loads
46:42
any pills back into the the same bottles with the same labels now the labels are
46:47
all still there exactly the same but the content is completely different you've got no idea what the content is there's
46:53
no relation with what went before that's modernism modernism keeps the appearances of
46:58
religion the appearances of Catholicism but the substances completely
47:03
change this is a very dangerous era because it's very appealing to Modern
47:09
people because it's going to enable Catholics to get back in tune with the
47:14
modern world they're going to be able to have it The Best of Both Worlds they're going to be able
47:21
to have their Catholic have their Catholic church and at the same time being tune with the modern world it's
47:27
it's it's it's a pretty unbeatable formula to be able to please God and
47:33
Dance with the Devil hey it's going to sell like hot cakes actually it doesn't sell because
47:40
po the 10th scotches it but P the 10th is a peasant from a peasant family he
47:47
wasn't born in the suburbs he wasn't born in the big city he comes from the country and he's got some good Common
47:53
Sense good oldfashioned natur actual normal Eternal Common Sense
47:58
B smashes smashes modernism with the great
48:04
encyclical called and
48:11
there my denounces this unhooking of the Mind
48:17
from reality it's modern philosophy it's the German philosophy in particular the
48:22
German philosophy Emanuel K and a says this is
48:29
deadly he he virtually says this is the end of the line this this era is the end
48:36
of the line like like Vincent Farah 500 years before him ient says this is this
48:43
is the end of the line boys and he's right but it's gone on for another 100 years partly because P gave
48:52
the church a 50-year reprieve if modernism had got going in the early
48:58
1900s we'd have had Vatican 2o at that time bent saw what was up and said no
49:05
there is no way that the Church of God can adapt to a Godless world it is a
49:11
Godless world it is not a sweet nice forward-looking technological
49:17
Progressive wonderful scientific world it's a bunk a jum a a bunch of
49:23
junk the modern world is a bunch of junk from the point of view of sanity and
49:30
intelligence so he scotched it it was driven underground but
49:36
then so the church again had an extent there was again the 20th century
49:44
missionary work again the church expanded
49:50
but now we come to the greatest disaster of all which is that 50 years later or
49:57
60 years later the practically the whole church swung off track with Vatican
50:06
2 and what is Vatican 2 Vatican 2 is the rerun of modernism it's neomodernism
50:14
which means new modernism it's the rerun of
50:21
modernism it's 1962 to 1965 it's a total
50:28
disaster and it's it's it's the rerun of modernism which is the combination of
50:34
liberalism and protestantism liberalism and protestantism create a new world modernism says we got to adapt to that
50:40
new world the church says no and stamp P stamps his foot on the Brinks he's quite
50:46
right the church can Church gets another 50 years up to an including P the 12th
50:53
but then the Churchman give up they just give up the modern world is too powerful
51:01
it's too strong it's too attractive it's too irresistible we can no longer go on
51:06
fighting it and the churchmen say okay let's itch up our skirts and start
51:12
rocking a ro some of you may know uh Michael Davis's Trilogy uh cranmer's
51:18
Godly order uh John John the John John the 23rd's Council and then pope all the
51:24
six new Mass some of you may remember the early editions of the second volume
51:31
um the Vatican 2 and it was a cartoon which showed Vatican to it it showed the
51:37
the the Bishops with croia and MIT going into V the Vatican and then they came
51:43
out at the other door having thrown away their miters and Crowes hiking up their skirts and rocking and rolling as they
51:50
came out of the Vatican and that's a picture a cartoon picture of Vatican 2 and Vatican 2 the Bishops went crazy it
51:58
was a collective Madness decent Bishops refused to go back after the
52:04
first session because they saw what was happening and they saw the church was being destroyed I remember Archbishop saying
52:11
this of of Bishop Adam who was the bishop of the dasis of SEO in Switzerland Bishop Adam went to the
52:18
first session he never went to another but a few years later Bishop Adam began
52:24
putting the reforms of Vatican 2 into his dasis he saw the problem and then he
52:31
gave way and I'm afraid in the Society of B today what you got is a number of
52:38
good priests who see the problem who don't agree with Bishop FY to begin with
52:44
but then finally give way it's a pattern it's it's it's just it's it's
52:51
just the way human nature works when some corruption like this gets on a
52:57
road Vatican 2 was a disaster then what we always had is the
53:06
bul the church save get getting staying on track the pope staying on track a
53:13
particular Pope staying on track and now we've got a couple of Bishops who stay on track and that's Bishop de cast and
53:20
Archbishop Le and Archbishop leev says now
53:25
to Vatican 2 he says it's junk he won't give way and he hangs on with the
53:32
oldtime religion DVR but he's it's very reduced now it's
53:39
incredibly reduced in numbers but it's EXA it's the straight line he's staying
53:45
on track whereas the mass of the church is swinging off in line with the ble
53:51
World created from frers mons now okay and the Archbishop the ssbx
53:59
begins to expand again the ssbx expands begins spreading out it's going all over
54:06
the world there's an incredible spreading all over the world during the 19 80s 1990s of this Society it's it's
54:15 you can find it in most country well in a number of countries all over the world the missionary effort of the ssbx 54:21 priests they're missionaries and they carry the the true Faith to the small 54:27 Remnant all over the world you could go to Australia you go to uh uh Africa 54:34 various countries of Africa you go to China you'll find that the societ has 54:41 made efforts you go to uh South America all over South America all over the 54:48 United States so the ssbx expands now stop and ask yourselves 54:56 what according to this pattern what's going to happen what's going to happen the 55:02 Temptation in line with the whole of 500 years of church history ever since 55:08 Luther in 16 uh 1517 the pattern is that somebody's 55:14 going to come along and want 55:21 to it's going to be Neo Vatican 2o is it not does that not make 55:29 sense does it not fall exactly into the same 55:34 pattern I put it in dotted lines because it's not yet clinched it's the the society is sinking 55:42 but it isn't yet sunk I don't think you can say it's yet sunk It's as father ringrose says it's 55:48 gone the society's gone from a green light to a yellow light that's the direction for the yellow light to go to 55:54 the red light but the site is not yet at a red light 56:00 those who see Father F you might say like Vincent F he can see what's coming 56:07 he says it's gone it's finished it's the end of the world it's the end of the society but it took another 600 years of 56:13 Vincent Farah it may take another 20 years 10 years 5 years for the society 56:18 to fail I don't know but in any case what I 56:24 what what's very clear is that that U pattern is simply a rerun of Vatican 2 56:34 modernism liberalism crism it's just the way of the modern world and that's 56:40 exactly what's happening to the society it's going the way of the modern world which is the most sad thing sad thing 56:48 that's the most normal for the modern world it's the most normal of things is what you would 56:53 expect is the society going to pull itself together is it going to is it going to 57:01 lock out is it going to recover and block out all of this I sincerely 57:09 oops I really devoutly hope so and then it can get back to expanding all in 57:14 green I hope so but I can't honestly say that I think 57:20 that's what's going to happen I don't know what's going to happen God knows and I don't so in the 57:27 meantime since the danger is there just 57:33 like AR the Archbishop slowed down Vatican 57:40 2 because the craziness of Vatican 2 the craziness of the 57:48 crazies when the Archbishop took his stand and succeeded in holding his 57:53 ground and created a Society the the crazes had to take into account 58:02 they could no long behave quite so crazy because because they could drive people 58:07 into towards the Archbishop the arch Bish was there his his Society was 58:13 practicing the true faith and if the if the um 58:20 uh if the Vatican 2 Church went too far too fast it would chase people away and 58:26 they would go it would increase the lefv movement the last thing that Vatican 2 wants to do is to increase the leev 58:33 movement the Vatican 2 does everything it can to stop the Le movement you may know that it create it the Vatican the 58:40 Rome created societies like the society and Peter and the indult mass and so on 58:46 and then the indult mass is planted right next to the society in order to try to pull people away from the society 58:53 because Rome doesn't like the Society one little bit and it's war between Vatican 2 and the Society of PR 59:02 10th that being so then um the society 59:08 it acts as a break upon Vatican 2 and the society actually helped the 59:16 whole church to not go quite so crazy as it would have done without the society 59:21 if the society had not been there the craz of Vatican 2 would have gone on much far much faster Aral used to 59:30 say he used to say that if only he hadd been able to find another four or five 59:36 Bishops to stand with him half a dozen of them could have 59:42 thrown as half a dozen a real monkey wrench into the works of Vatican 59:47 2 they could have demonstrated if they stood together they could have demonstrated the Vatican 2 to the whole 59:53 world Vatican 2 was nons in God's Providence and God's wisdom there weren't six such Bishops I 1:00:01 remember the Archbishop looking for he used to travel and meet Bishops that he 1:00:07 thought might break away from the Vatican church the Vatican 2 church and 1:00:12 take a stand with him he couldn't find them the one he finally found was Bishop 1:00:18 the cast Maya but Bishop cast mayah only broke took a public stand after he 1:00:25 ceased being a diis and Bishop in 1981 as he was and he uh only when he was no 1:00:34 longer a dasis bishop did Bishop cast take that stand but it was very valuable 1:00:40 when he did take his stand and you some of you may remember the bishop D cast Maya took part in the ceremony of 1:00:47 consecration of the four Bishops in 1988 and Archbishop was enormously grateful 1:00:53 to him for the simple re reason that when Bishop dcast stood forward by his 1:00:58 side it was obviously no longer purely some personal craziness of the 1:01:04 Archbishop and if there had been only six of them to make it very very clear that it wasn't the resisting Vatican 2 1:01:11 was not a personal craziness but simply the the real religion they could have thrown a real monkey wrench in the works 1:01:18 of Vatican 2 similarly today if you want to do a favor to the 1:01:26 Society of VI 10th going off track stay 1:01:31 on track with the Society of yesterday stay on track with Archbishop 1:01:36 of fev and you will act as a break upon the new Society going the wrong 1:01:42 way arici if put a break on Vatican 2 the resistance if it strengthens and stays 1:01:50 San will put a break upon the craziness of the headquarters today of the 1:01:57 society so those of us that stay in line with 1:02:04 Archbishop Affair and continue the AR continue the society as he founded it we 1:02:10 are the real Society just as the Archbishop was the real church and 1:02:16 Vatican 2 was false so the resistance will be the real church and the Society 1:02:24 trying to the new Society trying to get in line with all of these other crazy errors will not be the it will seem to 1:02:31 be the society it will appear to be the society it won't be the real Society this appeared to be the church because 1:02:40 all the buildings were that way all the red but practically all the red buttons went that way the whole system and 1:02:46 structure went that way but it wasn't the real church anymore it was a new religion it was the religion of man the 1:02:52 religion of man in red as opposed to the religion of God in 1:02:58 GRE therefore if you if you and I line up on Archbishop 1:03:04 the fth you and I are the continuation of the true Society just as Archbishop the fth was the minority continuation of 1:03:12 the true church but it wasn't the apparent Church the apparent church was 1:03:17 the majority Church the apparent Society may be the majority Society but if that apparent majority Society is getting 1:03:25 away from the ideas and principles and instructions of Aral effect is not the 1:03:30 true Society it may appear to be but it isn't so my dear 1:03:36 friends uh think Watch and Pray says our 1:03:41 Lord think uh study read I know a number of you are studying and reading and 1:03:48 thinking and if you've noticed something very different about the society over 1:03:53 the last few years it's quite simply liberalism all of this is liberalism liberalism is the name 1:03:59 given to this era in particular but it's always man liberating himself in the 1:04:05 name of Liberty liberating himself from the religion of God so if you've noticed 1:04:11 something different about the society if you noticed something going wrong with the society you're very likely right and 1:04:19 if you want to serve the society and serve the church and serve almighty God 1:04:24 don't go with the way that the society the new way the Society of s is going 1:04:30 stay in the line of Archbishop the first thank you very 1:04:39 much
