Catholic Prophecy and Our Times
There is much conjecture about prophecy, where we have been and more imortantly, what does the future hold. However, many sites appeal solely to private prophecies, ignoring the weightier prophecies of Sacred Scripture. Further many sites appeal to prophecies that are unapproved and even condemned, while ignoring those things the Church has declared at least safe. Understanding this first: That no prophecy of scripture is made by private interpretation. (II Peter 1:20) Instead of venturing our own opinions, when possible we should look to the Fathers of the Church, especially when they are unanimous on a subject. In reading through, things may appear gloomy at times, but let us be consoled by two thoughts:For there shall be then great tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world until now, neither shall be. (Matthew 24:21) Note well, this time will end. All the holy Fathers agree that after the death of antichrist the whole world will be converted, and although some of them assert that the world will last but a few days after his death, while others say a few months, some authorities insist that it will continue to exist many years after. St. Catherine of Sienna, St. Vincent Ferrer, St. Francis of Paula, and a number of other saints have predicted this ultimate universal conversion. Saint John Eudes, page 319, The Admirable Heart of Mary. This is an ongoing project, that will take several months to complete. So come back and check for new information. This is an ongoing project with completion estimated for Christmas, 2006. Files will be prepared and posted as this becomes possible.
