THE PERFECT STORM

The last few days the media has begun a feeding frenzy around the issue of the Pope and what he knew about the homosexual child abuse scandal in Germany. I pray that our Holy Father is innocent of all charges leveled against him in the court of public opinion. However, guilt or innocence may not matter to those that would see the Church destroyed. So let me put forth a couple of theories:


1) These stories are true, in which case we've got big troubles ahead for the Church. Even if the Pope is involved it still has no effect on the teaching authority of the Church or the guarantees of Christ to protect that authority. It doesn't matter though because most don't understand the structure and foundation of Church authority so something like this would drive millions away.


2) These stories are part of a disinformation campaign orchestrated by interests threatened by the Pope and the Church. This could very easily be an attempt to discredit a very conservative Pope before he is able to make changes that will bring the Church back from the edge of the abyss. There are many, many powerful people and groups inside and outside the Church that are threatened by some of the things the Pope has been doing. Satan cannot directly attack or affect the doctrine and dogma of the Church. He can, however, directly attack the leadership in all areas that are not protected, which is in everything except issues of faith and morals at a dogmatic or doctrinal level. For Satanic groups that believe they have the power to destroy the Church, this is the perfect storm. 


If, as I have long suspected, the homosexual child abuse scandal is part of a larger effort to destroy the Church by outside forces, this accusation would be the culmination of their efforts. This is the way Communism/Progressivism works. It is deliberate and patient. Some of it's adherents may lack this virtue but those at the center put plans in place that take decades to come to fruition.


Watch how all of this plays out. This will be used to drive a wedge between the Church and her people. This may be the issue that finally causes a public split of the Church into two distinct camps; those that trust Jesus and his promises and those that fall for the siren song of Satan.

And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose upon earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven.
Matthew 16:18-19

Pray for the Pope and the Church; and for the members of the body that will be torn away by this scandal.

The time of winnowing is at hand.

St. Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do thou,
O Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan,
and all the evil spirits,
who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
