(The Blaze) - The Union Bank of Switzerland (UBS) has just released a report titled “Euro Break Up—The Consequences,” wherein they predict the death of the euro and the long-term consequences should that occur...THE CATHOLIC KNIGHT: If this comes true I think it only helps the United States in the long run. Provided of course the momentum of this event doesn't cause us to crack up in the short run. If cooler heads prevail in the United States, and we can simultaneously implement our own significant austerity measures, America comes out ahead in the end. If however, our politicians continue with the status quo here in the USA, than panic will eventually set in as Europe implodes, and as a result, I think we could potentially go down with her.

Europe is likely to revert to a multitude of nation-states, barring the arrival of some messianic figure to save her. As for America, we could go either way, and a lot of that is up to how serious we are about getting our federal spending problem under control. Either we will suck it up, tighten our belts, and ride this thing out to better times. Or we will ignore the problems, let the crisis reach these shores, and end up just like Europe -- a fractured continent made up of multiple nation-states. Sadly, I think it may very well happen that way, and if it does, I'll stick with Dixie! I think I may have to move further South though. Hmmm. The Carolina coast sounds real appealing right now. Any of my readers out there know of some nice places to live between Charleston and Wilmington?
Personal musings aside, and getting onto more spiritual matters, I think what we see playing out here are the early stages of the minor Chastisement that is supposed to come upon Europe as the Catholic mystics and seers have foretold for centuries. The Globalist/Capitalist "New World Order" is collapsing right in front of our eyes. Naturally we can only expect the Marxists and Jihadists to take advantage of the situation. It shouldn't be any surprise to us, it's just in their nature. So expect it. That's the other shoe to drop. Don't ask me for "when" because I don't have a crystal ball. All I know is it WILL happen -- eventually. So when it does we can expect things to go from bad to worse. Now I suppose it is possible it may not happen all at once. We could see it spread out over multiple phases, each one getting progressively worse. For those of us who follow Catholic prophecy, the particular uprising we are concerned about is the one that forces the pope into exile from Rome. When that happens, as best as we can interpret the prophecies, things are supposed to get very bad, very quick, immediately thereafter. This will mark the end of our present age, and the dawn of the Age of Mary (a fairly long period of time) which precedes the Last Days before Antichrist. (See my notes on Catholic prophecy for details.) So all the more reason to keep all eyes on the pope, especially this one, for every word that proceeds from his mouth seems to be golden, and his efforts to reform the Church are truly heroic. Watch this man carefully, for if he is ever forced to flee the Vatican for his life, know that his time is very short, and so is the time we have left before the end of this present age.

"I see the Holy Father in great distress. He lives in another palace and receives only a few in his presence. If the wicked party know their own great strength, they would even now have made an attack. I fear the Holy Father will suffer many tribulations before his death, for I see the black counterfeit church gaining ground, I see its fatal influence on the public. The distress of the Holy Father and of the Church is really so great that one ought to pray to God day and night. I have been told to pray much for the Church and the Pope...The people must pray earnestly for the extirpation (Rooting out, destruction) of the dark church." -Prophetic Vision of Anne Catherine Emmerich (1774-1824 A.D.)
I'm not sure if we're quite at that time yet, but it seems unsurprisingly close.
Isn't this what Our Lady of Fatima predicted? That if we don't all pray the rosary a time of peace will not come?
All the more reason to consecrate Russia now!
I really need to read Bl. Anne Catherine Emmerich; she seems spot-on.
Dear Catholic Knight,
Our www.abc.net.au news service here in aus has earlier this week reported on the US bit to sue a number of banks, both within and without its borders for their part in bringing about the GFC through irresponsible financial practices. Deutschebank was named among this number, as having played a part, due to the toxic nature of some of its products. This isn't conspiracy, it was on the 7pm News and repeated again briefly on the 7.30 programme.
Re B16, Sir Knight, you may be interested to learn of an account our campus chaplain who serves on Tue and Fri (the moderate, temporate, reverent Gen X priest who is around my age) at uni conveyed to me (before our CDM 3PM vigil of this Tue past. He and a small number of students went over to Spain for World Youth Day. Regardless of the rhetoric going around concerning the efficacy of this event, one thing stood out bold as brass. On that dreadfully hot day where scortching temps reached 50 degrees C (not the 40 that the news media reported) followed by the torrential summer storm, for the ten minutes that the Host was brought out, the storm abated completely. Prior to its exposure, the storm raged after it was put away again, it started back up, but for that ten minutes or so, the weather had calmed. Even the wind and the waves obey!! This is an unmistakable assurance that despite the efforts of the 'happy clappies', Christ is still with His church. Additionally, for a man of 84 to have the energy and endurance to participate in such a programme as this, not to mention his reforms of the reform and initial repairs to the hermeneutic of continuity, bespeaks one thing and one thing only - the strengthening agency of the Holy Spirit is with him.
Fear not; God's hand is still on the tiller. the NWO etc may think they have won; the secular humanists may think they have won, the Atheists may think they have won; they have merely been extended the requisite amount of rope necessary to successfully hang themselves, me thinks. Our Heavenly Father will protect His lambs, He will lovingly guide the little flock. We are told to fear not, for True Love Casts Out All Fear. Remember, Sufficient is the evil unto the day therein.
Faith, Fidelity, community, (not bunkerism), Matt 25: 34-40, Acts 2: 42-47, the Book of james... Here is the pattern of life that we are called to live. Now more than ever.
Blessings,

We can punish the criminal bankers by taking our stocks away from them and placing our savings and investments with local credit unions instead. We can also stop purchasing cable TV and other promoters of secular corruption.
