The stakes are high ...

“The goal of the boldest ecumenical thinkers and leaders has grown increasingly clear: to construct a world community embracing all races, classes, religions and political systems, united as far as possible under a common world government whose business will be the establishment of world peace. It is hoped that a Universal Church will be able to pave the way successfully for a Universal Government.”

          This comes so close to what St. John wrote to us in his Book of Revelation about “the second beast doing everything in its power to subjugate the whole world to the tyranny of the first beast”, that the question is legitimate: Is Prof. Peter Beyerhaus indulging here in ‘private interpretation of Scripture’, or is this an exercise in sheer clear thinking from available evidence? He continues:

“Such a universal church would, however, not only be trans-confessional, it would also be unconditionally open to partnership with other religions and ideologies. The former General Secretary of the WCC, Eugene Carson Blake, declared in October, 1970 at the World Conference of Religions for Peace, in Kyoto, Japan, that the church unity for which the WCC strives, is only a first step on the way to the ultimate goal of a united mankind ... . In the advocates of the ecumenical movement we are encountering today, we find a passionate religious-political view of missions, whose ardor, fanned to a new high at Bangkok, refuses to let any objections keep it from its goal.

          If anyone does stand in the way,

• he is wooed in a friendly manner,

• simply passed over as unimportant, or, if these methods are not effective,

• wrathfully attacked ...”
                      (Prof. P. Beyerhaus in Bangkok 73).

          Which means that the Passion of the Church - like the Passion of Christ - has inexorably been set in motion. The mind of the persecutor is clear. The first shots have been fired. The global extent of the stakes show that the Catholic Church will for the first time in Her history be persecuted on a global scale. The Catholic Church, that is, which refuses to go along with the empire and church of Satan under whatever name. And in country after country, this Church will live forth in isolated Catholics-on-the-outer, living under unbearable pressure, political, economic, social and religious, to join up ...

          The testimonies and evidence are overwhelming.

• Our Lady speaks the Truth. And at Fatima She categorically declared: “The good will be martyred.”

• The Bible speaks the Truth. And St. John categorically tells us that “The whole world will run the after the beast, which will make war on the Saints and overcome them.”

• Pope St. Pius X speaks the truth when he informed us that the One-World ‘Church’ “would bring back to the world the reign of legalised cunning, and brute force, and the oppression of the weak and of all those who toil and suffer.”

• Vatican II speaks the Truth. And in several places in its documents it reminded us of our duty “to shed, if necessary, our blood for our friends and for Truth.”

• Finally, we can be sure that, ultimately, our enemies will speak the truth when they will say to us: “Look, we wooed you, we ignored you, we warned you. You will not listen. Now we must ‘wrathfully attack you’ ...”

          These Catholics will be asked to completely join in the Mystical Life of Christ, which is a Life of self-immolation for the sins of the world. And so, the means and inspiration to join in the Mystical Life of Christ to such a degree lie hidden in the Mystery of the Church, which Herself draws strength continuously from this Mystical Life in Christ. This Life is the Mystery of the Church and can only be seen with the Supernatural Light and Eyes of Catholic Faith.

          And if Vatican II, in the Providence of God, was meant to prepare Catholics in the process of being persecuted, for such a participation in the Mystery of the Church, then Vatican II itself must, to a very high degree, share in this Mystery, which means that it becomes incomprehensible in any other light except the strong Light of Catholic Faith. In this Light it did not matter which ‘instruments’ took part: the Rhine or the Tiber, but only what God created with these instruments for the Life of His chosen ones.

          If people got confused after Vatican II, scandalized by Vatican II, or tried to manipulate Vatican II for their own designs and purposes: it all only showed the lack of Catholic Faith in these people, their lack of oil ...

• God knew that the persecuted Catholics during the most terrible persecutions yet to be unleashed, would feel alone, deserted, and would only have their Catholic Faith to guide them. So He made sure that in the training period immediately following on Vatican II, these conditions would be present to a lesser degree.

• He knew that during those persecutions His faithful ones would be requested to love their persecutors. So, in the training period, He provided us with innumerable opportunities to strengthen us in the exercise of this all-embracing demand.

• God remembered that in the Sacred Passion of His only-begotten Son, ONLY OUR LADY understood what was happening and what was requested of Her. So He made sure that Vatican II would once again reveal the most beautiful teaching on Our Lady and the Church for the consolation of all who would be prepared to stay with Her under the Cross.

• He also remembered how ill-prepared the Holy Apostles were when they came face to face with the disfigurement in His Son during His Sacred Passion. So He allowed a certain disfigurement in the Mystical Body of His Son in the post-Conciliar period, so that His persecuted faithful would draw strength for the time when the Catholic Church would follow Her Spouse till the bitter end.

          And thus, in page after beautiful page, the Catholic Church poured out Her Love for humanity in the Second Vatican Council. The teilhardians, on their erroneous philosophy of identity and sameness, thought it was at last the signal they had been waiting for: to be finally allowed to identify themselves with the world and its ways on the evolutionary teachings of Teilhard de Chardin. And the Church let them go, knowing that much would be restored after Her own faithful would wash the whole world once again clean in their own blood ...
