Great news!
Anita from V for Victory! has agreed to be my first guest blogger here at 50 Days After:
I
have, for the second time, just had my attention drawn to a website
called "The Warning." I will not link to it. It purports to contain
prophecies and revelations transmitted by God to somebody called "Maria
Divine Mercy" to the effect that the end of the world will come in our
lifetime. What it actually is is a syllabus of errors of a major order
regarding the Catholic faith. Witness:
-- Absolution is possible without sacramental confession. This
website promises "total absolution and the power of the Holy Spirit" if
a particular prayer is recited for seven days in a row. (Also confuses
the distinction between a plenary indulgence and absolution.) God
grants absolution through the priest in confession. We have the
indwelling of the Holy Spirit through Baptism (CCC at 1265), and the
increase of the Spirit's gifts and strength in Confirmation (CCC at
1303).
-- Paradise on earth. This
website says that the Second Coming of Christ will usher in a new
earthly paradise for a thousand years. Actually, what it will usher in
will be the end of the world (CCC at 681). Millenarianism is a heresy (CCC at 676).
-- God suffers in heaven. The
website says: "I am God of the Most High who, because of the free will I
have given to all of My children, will have to suffer enduring pain
until the New Paradise on earth evolves." This is a tissue of
absurdities. God, being perfect, possesses perfect happiness in heaven
and does not suffer. Plus, this smacks of millenarianism.
-- Promise of a seal. A
"seal of the living God" is promised upon the recitation of a prayer.
Once again, we are promised grace bypassing the Sacraments. We already
have a seal: the indelible characters of Baptism and particularly
Confirmation (CCC at 1293-96). The alleged "seal" promised to the
followers of this seer purports to protect them from physical
tribulations under Antichrist. We all know from experience that the
real seal on our soul conferred by the Sacrament of Confirmation does
not protect us from temporal problems.
-- The Catholic Church has taught error. The
website claims that the Catholic Church has abandoned the true
teachings of Christ, has taught that hell does not exist, and therefore
she will be "cast aside" into the desert, and the "False Prophet" will
amalgamate her with other, false religions. Of course this is false
(CCC at 869), and ought to alarm any knowledgeable Catholic.
-- The "True Church" will be built by the Jews and the followers of this seer. This
website identifies the two witnesses in the book of Revelation as the
followers of this seer and the Jews. After describing how they will be
persecuted, the seer says: "Both will feel defeated but this will not be
the case for you will form, along with all other religions, the one
true Church – the New Jerusalem which will rise from the Ashes." So, if
that's the case, then the gates of hell DO prevail against the Church,
and Christ is NOT with her all days until the consummation of the world.
Jesus, then, is a liar, and therefore not God.
These
are just some of the glaring errors, gleaned from a cursory review of
this website. People, wake up. "The Warning" is heretical, and these
"revelations" are a fraud. Do not be taken in. Look to Scripture and
Tradition to find out God's will for us, and don't waste your time on
cockamamie "seers."
May God bless all who read her ramblings,
