| Storm Clouds Gather Over the Vatican |
Nobody was more acutely aware of the anti-papal forces within the Vatican than Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, who watched his fellow cardinals quietly assail and undermine his beloved friend Pope John Paul II. So it was Cardinal Ratzinger who ratcheted up the battle when he became Pope Benedict XVI.
(DICI) - These are the words from the Secretary of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith: “But you know, it’s the priests, it’s the bishops, it’s the Catholic universities: they are full of heresies!” That’s what the the Secretary of the Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith told us in June 2009!The source of this quote may at first give us pause, but when we consider all the evidence we have witnessed over the last decade, can anyone deny it sounds strikingly familiar to what we've seen? The bishop who gives us this quote may be many things, but one thing his is not is a liar. Therefore, we must take him for his word, as disturbing as that may be for now.

This quote comes in the greater context of intentional disruption and contradiction within the Vatican city walls, as various officers within the Curia have actively been working against this current pope since the beginning of his papacy. It's the pope and the CDF verses practically everyone else, and it's a quiet conflict, played out in secrecy and subtlety.
So it would seem that all of the prophecies from Fatima to Akita are in play already. The Great Chastisement is now upon us, we are still years away from it's completion, and the worst is yet to come.
So it is in times like these, what can we do, other than rally to the pope's side and demand of our local priests and bishops that the Holy Father's will be done! As for the Vatican, what more can we do but pray. May God have mercy on us all!

Sir Knight,
I attend a Catholic university; the quote is 100% accurate as my own personal experience has borne out. We must pray for those who teach error as right , that Christ's truth and genuine love & interpretation of the word of god is once more established. Our heavenly Father will not permit the destruction of the past decades triumph. As we move forward into the future, yet a little while and an authentic, scripturally sound and doctrinally faithful Catholic Christianity will re-immerge. the words of Jesus, whose love is without blemish, come to mind here - 'go and sin no more'... genuine transformation and sanctification from which will outwork the Kingdom of God is to be sought and taught by every one of us. Thank God for a brilliant campus chaplaincy (in my instance)!!
This is so sad. Poor Papa Benny, leading us all to Christ and getting little support for it. But then, I suppose it's all part of his job. As you said, we must pray for him, and for Mother Church as a whole; I think that now more than ever we must cling to the promise that the gates of Hell will not prevail against us.
Mr Knight, the forces of evil in the Vatican, which even Paul VI said was "the smoke of Satan", has attempted to symie every action of the holy father. I am sure that his enemies are anticipating his death so they can again put in a weak willed, compliant liberal. The pope, however, has also shown a kind of ambivalence: until he can strong and firmly repudiate Vatican II's ambiguity, his reforms will be at best only half measures. Pete Frey
