WE beleef ongelooflik vinnig veranderende en verwarrende tye. Die behoefte aan gesonde rigting was nog nooit groter nie ... en ook nie die gevoel van verlating nie, voel baie van die gelowiges. Waar is die stem van ons herders, waar baie vra? Ons beleef een van die mees dramatiese geestelike toetse in die geskiedenis van die Kerk, en tog het die hiërargie meestal stil gebly - en wanneer hulle deesdae wel praat, hoor ons dikwels die stem van die Goeie Regering eerder as die Goeie Herder .
Those shepherds who do speak up, who address the “signs of the times” are frequently silenced or sidelined revealing a growing disparity among clergy on the seriousness of the dangers we face. Most are familiar now with the approved[1]After eight years of investigations, Rev. John Shojiro Ito, Bishop of Niigata, Japan, recognized “the supernatural character of a series of mysterious events concerning the statue of the Holy Mother Mary” and authorized “throughout the entire diocese, the veneration of the Holy Mother of Akita, while awaiting that the Holy See publishes definitive judgment on this matter.” —ewtn.com prophecy from Japan and Our Lady of Akita:
Die werk van die duiwel sal selfs in die Kerk infiltreer op so 'n manier dat 'n mens kardinale sal sien wat die kardinale teenstaan, biskoppe teen biskoppe. Die priesters wat my eerbiedig, sal verag en teëgestaan word deur hul vriendin ... kerke en altare wat afgedank is; die Kerk sal vol wees met diegene wat kompromieë aanvaar, en die demoon sal baie priesters en toegewyde siele druk om die diens van die Here te verlaat ... — Aan Sr. Agnes Sasagawa van Akita, Japan, 13 Oktober 1973
In light of what is unfolding at this present hour, it is worth considering a new interpretation of this prophecy, as well as that of Fatima…
THE SPIRITUAL PANDEMIC
Our Lady has called the faithful to “Pray for the shepherds” for decades now through her apparitions. I think we can finally appreciate why. There is no one more in the cross-hairs of persecution than the bishops and priests who are increasingly faced with with restrictions on the Mass imposed by the State. I don’t think any of us can fully understand the complexity of the situation and the pressures they face at this hour. It’s easy to criticize from the pew.
A
t the same time, one cannot dismiss the incomprehensible actions of some shepherds who literally locked the doors and, in some cases, forbade 'n access to sacramental Communion, Baptism, Confession and even the “last rites.” The idea that the government would tell the Church that the Sacraments are “non-essential” is repugnant — but not surprising; that bishops would essentially saamstem in praxis, however, is stunning.
The deprivation of the sacraments jeopardizes the salvation of souls!
As I write this, packed airliners with over a hundred travelers sitting two feet apart are soaring above; they have permission to remove their masks while their meals are served in recirculated air… This, while large cathedrals that seat 1000 people are only permitted 3o or less people in some places, if any;[2]Such is the case in several Canadian provinces the congregation is forbidden to remove their masks or to sing, and protocols that “go beyond the requirements in most health unit orders and local by-laws” are strangely imposed on church-goers alone.[3] Bishop Ronald P. Fabbro, C.S.B., Diocese of London, Canada; COVID-19-opdatering
Yes, we are told by politicians that churches are “superspreaders.” On the contrary, at least one Canadian diocese reported:
There has yet to be a single case of transmission in any of the Catholic parishes in our diocese. Even with the transmission that has occurred in other non-Catholic churches, the number of cases that pertain to churches is only at 2%, which is far lower than most other establishments. For example, nightclubs are at 5%, restaurants at 8%, and casinos and rinks at 25%. This means that you are twice as likely to get COVID in a nightclub than at a church, and 12 times more likely to get it from the rink than the church. —stats from a priest in the Diocese of Saskatoon, Canada
The unbelievable fact was, that in midst of this worldwide ban of the public Holy Mass, many bishops, even before the government banned public worship, issued decrees by which they not only forbade the public celebration of Holy Mass, but of any other sacraments as well… Those bishops revealed themselves to be imbued with a naturalistic view, to care only for the temporal and bodily life, forgetting their primary and irreplaceable task to care for the eternal and spiritual life… [they] behaved as fake shepherds, who seek their own advantage. —Bishop Anthony Schneider, May 22nd, 2020; catholiccitizens.org; lifesitenews.com
Woe to the shepherds of Israel who have been pasturing themselves! Should not shepherds pasture the flock? You consumed milk, wore wool, and slaughtered fatlings, but the flock you did not pasture. You did not strengthen the weak nor heal the sick nor bind up the injured. You did not bring back the stray or seek the lost but ruled them harshly and brutally. So they were scattered for lack of a shepherd, and became food for all the wild beasts. (Ezekiel 34:2-5)
Because man is “one in body and soul”, it is not right to turn physical health into an absolute value to the point of sacrificing the psychological and spiritual health of citizens, and in particular to deprive them of freely practicing their religion, which experience proves to be essential for their equilibrium… The Church is not obliged to align itself with reductionist and stuttering official pronouncements, much less to be the “conveyor belt” of the State, without this implying a lack of respect and dialogue or calls for civil disobedience. —December 2020, Notre Eglise; countdowntothekingdom.com
Fear, which has taken hold of many, is maintained by the anxiety-inducing and alarmist discourse of the public authorities, constantly relayed by most of the principal media… Within the Church, we can see some unexpected reactions: those who once denounced the authoritarianism of the Hierarchy and systematically challenged its Magisterium, in particular in the area of morals, today submit to the State without batting an eyelid, seeming to lose all critical sense, and they set themselves up as moralists, blaming and categorically denouncing those who dare to ask questions about the official Doxa of wat fundamentele vryhede verdedig. Vrees is nie 'n goeie raadgewer nie: dit lei tot slegte advies, dit stel mense teen mekaar, dit skep 'n klimaat van spanning en selfs geweld. Ons kan wel op die punt staan van 'n ontploffing! —Biskop Marc Aillet, Desember 2020, Notre Eglise; countdowntothekingdom.com
... Ek het in my jeug die tekens van die politiek van die dood ervaar. Ek sien hulle nou weer ... -Holocaust survivor, Lori Kalner; wicatholicmusings.blogspot.com
In turning to the Shepherds for guidance through this “valley of the shadow of death,” Cardinal Raymond Burke lamented that the laity are often not led by the Gospel but, instead, worldliness.
Too often, the faithful receive nothing in response, or a response which is not grounded in the unchanging truths regarding Faith and Morals. They receive responses that seem to come, not from shepherds, but secular managers. —homily in the Solemnity of Our Lady of Guadalupe at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in La Crosse, Wisconsin; December 13th, 2020; youtube.com
Die Kerk sal wees “full of those who accept compromises”, Our Lady of Akita warned.
WHAT ABOUT THE… OTHERS?
Just as baffling, but no less disturbing, is the hierarchy’s silence on the far more severe consequences that COVID-19 measures are bringing — catastrophic repercussions 
that will far surpass the relatively small number of deaths from the virus. The United Nations World Food Program (WFP) warned that, as a result of the coronavirus, the number of people facing food crises around the world could double to 265 miljoen people by the end of this year.
In a worst-case scenario, we could be looking at famine in about three dozen countries, and in fact, in 10 of these countries we already have more than one million people per country who are on the verge of starvation. —David Beasley, direkteur WFP; 22 April 2020; cbsnews.com
Why? Because of lockdowns of the gesonde, which are destroying businesses, jobs, and disrupting the production of food and crippling the supply chain. We don’t feel it much in North America, yet, but the accounts I hear from less developed countries are utterly chilling.
In Alberta, Canada, the Premiere just warned that a shocking 40 percent of businesses “may not be able to turn the lights back on” due to lockdowns.[6]8 Desember, Ek msn.co A new study has found that a third of U.S. restaurants may permanently close.[7]29 November 2020; pymnts.com In Japan, suicides surged to 2,153 in October alone, marking the fourth straight month of increase.[8]13 November 2020; cbsnews.com In America, four of every 10 people seeking food aid are now doing so for the eerste tyd.[9]25 November 2020; theguardian.com And researchers at the University of Birmingham warned that over 28 million time-sensitive elective operations world-wide, such as cancer or transplant surgery, could lead to “deteriorating health, worsening quality of life, and unnecessary deaths.” [10]…with each additional week of disruption to hospital services adding a further 2.4 million cancellations. May15th, 2020; birmingham.ac.uk
And yet collectively, all the Church has to say to the world this week is: “Go ahead, take the vaccine.”
Why — why is the Church so readily parroting government officials on the latest restrictions… but silent on the lethal dangers that these very measures are bringing?
Ons in die Wêreldgesondheidsorganisasie bepleit nie toesluitings as 'n primêre manier om hierdie virus te beheer nie ... Ons kan heel waarskynlik vroeg in volgende jaar 'n verdubbeling van die wêreldarmoede hê. Ons kan heel moontlik die ondervoeding van kinders ten minste verdubbel omdat kinders nie maaltye by die skool kry nie en hul ouers en arm gesinne dit nie kan bekostig nie. Dit is eintlik 'n verskriklike, afskuwelike wêreldwye ramp. En daarom doen ons 'n beroep op alle wêreldleiers: hou op om die afsluiting as u primêre beheermetode te gebruik. Ontwikkel beter stelsels om dit te doen. Werk saam en leer by mekaar. Maar onthou, toesluitings het net een gevolg dat u nooit, nooit moet verkleineer nie, en wat arm mense vreeslik baie armer maak. -Dr. David Nabarro, spesiale gesant van die Wêreldgesondheidsorganisasie (WGO), 10 Oktober 2020; Die week in 60 minute # 6 met Andrew Neil; gloria.tv
And none of this speaks of the silent untold mental anguish of seniors, the unemployed, and the young who are statistically unaffected by the virus, and yet, banned from their schools, friendships, sports events — in a word — their youth. It’s as if preventing death by COVID-19, which statistically is killing less then 0.5% of the infected,[11]The virus that has a recovery rate of over 99% for those under 69 years and virtually a 100% rate for those under 20, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). cf. cdc.gov must be prevented at 'n koste.
WHERE ARE THE SHEPHERDS?
And now, all of this is taking a very dark turn…
Bishops across the world have declared it morally licit to take the new vaccines that are derived from aborted fetal cells. The argument is that “the duty to avoid passive material cooperation [in the gravely immoral act of deriving vaccines from aborted fetal cells] is not obligatory if there is grave inconvenience.” [12]See the Pontifical Academy for Life’s reflection: immunize.org Not every bishop agrees, mind you.
The bottom line for me is, does it [the vaccine] actually contain the markers, the DNA, of aborted children? If it does, I’m not going to accept it. —Bishop Joseph Strickland, Tyler, Texas; December 2nd, 2020; lifesitenews.com
Ek sal nie 'n entstof kan neem nie, ek sal net nie broers en susters doen nie, en ek moedig u aan om dit nie te doen as dit ontwikkel is met materiaal uit stamselle wat afkomstig is van 'n baba wat geaborteer is nie ... dit is moreel onaanvaarbaar vir ons. —Biskop Joseph Brennan, bisdom Fresno, Kalifornië; 20 November 2020; youtube.com
... diegene wat sulke entstowwe willens en wetens ontvang, tree in 'n soort aaneenskakeling, hoewel baie afgeleë, met die proses van die aborsiebedryf. Die misdaad van aborsie is so monsteragtig dat enige vorm van aaneenskakeling met hierdie misdaad, selfs 'n baie afgeleë misdaad, immoreel is en onder geen omstandighede deur 'n Katoliek aanvaar kan word as hy eers daarvan bewus geword het nie. —Biskop Athanasius Schneider, 11 Desember 2020; crisismagazine.com
Also, what are the spiritual consequences of knowingly, even if it’s remote, putting into one’s body the fruit of a crime? Nonetheless, the question, however, is whether there is such a “grave inconvenience” requiring the faithful to take a new experimental vaccine at all?
On the contrary, a new study shows that there are 84% fewer hospitalizations for those treated with a “low-dose hydroxychloroquine combined with zinc and azithromycin.” [13]25 November 2020; Washington eksaminator, vgl. voorlopig: sciencedirect.com Daar word nou getoon dat vitamien D die risiko van koronavirus met 54% verminder.[14]bostonherald.com; 17 September 2020-studie: journals.plos.org And on December 8th, 2020, Dr. Pierre Kory pleaded at a Senate hearing in the U.S. that the National Institutes of Health urgently review over 30 studies on the effectiveness of Ivermectin, an approved anti-parasitic drug.
Berge met data het uit baie sentrums en lande regoor die wêreld na vore gekom wat die wonderbaarlike effektiwiteit van Ivermectin toon. Dit vernietig basies die oordrag van hierdie virus. As u dit neem, sal u nie siek word nie. —8 Desember 2020; cnsnews.com
God laat die aarde genesende kruie oplewer wat die verstandiges nie moet verwaarloos nie ... (Sirach 38: 4)
In werklikheid het navorsers in Israel 'n referaat gepubliseer wat toon dat 'n uittreksel van fotosinteties gemanipuleerde Spirulina (alge) 70% effektief is om die 'sitokienstorm' wat die immuunstelsel van die COVID-19-pasiënt krater, te inhibeer.[19]24 Februarie 2021; jpost.com Uiteindelik - aan die beheerfront - het navorsers van die Universiteit van Tel Aviv bewys dat die nuwe koronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, doeltreffend, vinnig en goedkoop met ultraviolet-LED's op spesifieke frekwensies doodgemaak kan word. Die studie gepubliseer in die Tydskrif vir Fotochemie en Fotobiologie B: Biologie gevind dat sulke ligte, wat op die regte manier gebruik word, kan help om hospitale en ander gebiede te ontsmet en die verspreiding van die virus te vertraag.[20]Die Jerusalem Post, Desember 26th, 2020
In other words, there is effective alternatives to a vaccine for a virus that presently has a recovery rate of over 99.5% for those under 69 years and virtually a 100% rate for those under 20, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).[21]vgl cdc.gov
There are other strategies against COVID-19 that would allow us to stop the delirium on the one hand and to stop the disease on the other hand, and they would keep the hospitals away from overload and strain. —Dr. Louis Fouché, an anesthetist and resuscitation specialist, Marseille, France; December 10th, 2020; lifesitenews.com
Instead, the ecclesial “conveyor belt” is essentially repeating the State narrative while confining themselves to an extremely narrow moral viewpoint, as if the entire ethical question of vaccination can be reduced to whether or not they are derived from an abortion. It’s a moral vacuum with incredible consequences.
The reason is twofold. The first is because of a basic assumption that vaccines are safe. As I have detailed in both Die pandemie van beheer en Die Caduceus-sleutel, with over a hundred combined footnotes, the trail of vaccine injuries are not only real, but multiplying — especially among children; that, and the long-term affects of the new experimental vaccines are completely unknown, with renowned scientists warning of potential catastrophic consequences,[22]Die Caduceus-sleutel some which may not be known for months or even years after these mRNA vaccines are administered to billions of people.
Daar is gevind dat entstowwe 'n aantal chroniese, laat ontwikkelende newe-effekte veroorsaak. Sommige newe-effekte soos tipe 1-diabetes kan eers 3-4 jaar na toediening van 'n entstof voorkom. In die voorbeeld van tipe 1-diabetes kan die frekwensie van gevalle van nadelige gebeurtenisse die frekwensie oortref van gevalle van ernstige aansteeklike siektes wat die entstof ontwerp is om te voorkom. Aangesien tipe 1-diabetes slegs een van die baie immuun-gemedieerde siektes is wat moontlik deur entstowwe veroorsaak word, is chroniese laat voorkomende newe-effekte 'n ernstige probleem vir die openbare gesondheid. Die koms van nuwe entstoftegnologie skep nuwe potensiële meganismes van ongunstige gebeurtenisse teen entstof. - "COVID-19 RNA-gebaseerde entstowwe en die risiko van Prion-siekte Classen Immunoterapie," J. Bart Classen, MD; 18 Januarie 2021; scivisionpub.com
If entire bishop’s conferences are going to back the science of billion dollar private corporations who are not even liable for the chemicals they are pushing to inject into the bodies of the faithful, where is the balance of risk-benefits?
Second, and this is most serious, is that vaccines are not only being presented as a medical intervention but medical noodsaaklikheid. Are the bishop’s unaware of the growing technocratic totalitarianism being intrinsically tied to vaccines? Bill Gates, the unofficial quarterback of all things-vaccine who is clearly calling many shots behind the scenes, says:
Vir die wêreld in die algemeen kom normaalheid eers weer terug as ons die hele wêreldbevolking grootliks ingeënt het. —Bill Gates praat met Die Financial Times op 8 April 2020; 1:27 punt: youtube.com
... aktiwiteite, soos skole ... massa-byeenkomste ... totdat u wyd ingeënt word, kom dit miskien glad nie terug nie. —Bill Gates, onderhoud met CBS This Morning; 2 April 2020; lifesitenews.com
This is tantamount to chemical rape. Nonetheless, even Catholic ethicists are backing the new health technocracy:
Dit mag blyk acceptable to some people not to take the vaccine and say they will stay at home and never leave. But I don’t see how people could reasonably take a stance like that and then go out into society, as they must at some point and perhaps they are carriers. There’s very much the reality of an individual conscience decision, which should always be respected. But that person always has to be thinking too about her or his responsibility to everybody else. —Dr. Moira McQueen, executive director of the Canadian Catholic Bioethics Institute; December 2nd, 2020; grandinmedia.ca
I find this statement incredibly reckless given the aforementioned and what is already openly discussed as future public policy.
For example, it is no secret that the United Nations is developing ID2020 “to provide digital ID with vaccines.”[23]biometricupdate.com It is no secret that MIT developed a vaccine patch that delivers “fluorescent quantum dots” that can only be read with a “special device”[24]19 Desember 2019; statnews.com and which could negate the need for current approved COVID vaccines from requiring deep refrigeration.[25]29 April 2020; ucdavis.edu And it is certainly no secret that governments are quickly proceeding to make participation in society contingent upon vaccination. New York State just introduced legislation to make vaccines mandatory.[26]8 November 2020; fox5ny.com Die hoof mediese beampte in Ontario, Kanada het voorgestel dat mense nie toegang tot "sekere instellings" sal hê sonder 'n entstof nie.[27]4 Desember 2020; CPAC; twitter.com In Denemarke kan voorgestelde wetgewing toestaan 
mag aan die Deense owerheid om “mense wat weier om die entstof in sekere omstandighede te dwing 'deur fisiese aanhouding, met die polisie toegelaat om te help'.[28]17 November 2020; toeskouer.co.uk In Israel het Sheba Mediese Sentrum Hoof Mediese Beampte, Dr. Eyal Zimlichman, gesê entstowwe sal nie deur die regering gedwing word nie, maar “Wie ook al ingeënt word, sal outomaties 'groen status' ontvang. Daarom kan jy inent en Groen Status ontvang om vrylik in al die groen sones te gaan: Hulle sal vir jou kulturele geleenthede oopmaak, hulle sal die winkelsentrums, hotelle en restaurante vir jou oopmaak.”[29]26 November 2020; israelnationalnews.com En in die Verenigde Koninkryk het die konserwatiewe Tom Tugendhat gesê:
Ek kan beslis die dag sien wanneer besighede sê: “Kyk, jy moet teruggaan kantoor toe en as jy nie ingeënt is nie, kom jy nie in nie.” "En ek kan beslis sien dat sosiale plekke vir inentingsertifikate vra." —13 November 2020; metro.co.uk
In summary, people will likely be required to take a literal vaccine “stamp” in order to “buy and sell.” Set aside the clear apocalyptic implications (Rev 13:16-17) never before possible until now… where is the voice of the Church warning the State that no vaccine can ooit take away basic human rights? Are we waiting until it is upon us soos 'n dief in die nag? Or is it the sleepiness of Gethsemane, the fruit of a Church so numbed by the gees van rasionalisme, her discernment so deadened by modernism, that she has fallen asleep?
Dit is ons slaperigheid teenoor die teenwoordigheid van God wat ons ongevoelig maak vir boosheid: ons hoor God nie omdat ons nie gesteur wil word nie, en daarom bly ons onverskillig teenoor die bose ... die dissipels se slaperigheid is nie die probleem van daardie een nie. oomblik, eerder van die hele geskiedenis, is 'die slaperigheid' ons s'n, van ons wat nie die volle mag van die bose wil sien nie en nie in Sy Passie wil ingaan nie. —POPE BENEDICT XVI, Katolieke nuusagentskap, Vatikaanstad, 20 April 2011, algemene gehoor
Fortunately, thousands of doctors and scientists around the world are awake and warning of a technocratic revolution that is beginning to hold the entire global population hostage to a handful of billionaires who stand to make trillions, along with their partners in choice federal positions.
Caution invites you to refuse any totalitarian drift that would be linked with the vaccine idea itself: social credit, vaccination certificates under the skin, etc. All this should shock you to the highest degree, and you should refuse it at the risk of going toward a totalitarian dystopia. We have to stick together, we have to act, we have to write, we have to talk, we have to explain to people what I have just told you. You will see, the government and its medical and pharmaceutical acolytes, the political, economic, medical, and technocratic power behind it, will recoil, because that is the only thing they can do when confronted with common sense and peace. Maintain the balance of power. Refuse this vaccination. —Dr. Louis Fouché; lifesitenews.com
FATIMA… A NEW LIGHT?
Christus se getroues staan vry om hul behoeftes, veral hul geestelike behoeftes, en hul wense aan die leraars van die kerk bekend te maak. Hulle het inderdaad die reg by tye die pligom, in ooreenstemming met hul kennis, bekwaamheid en posisie, hul standpunte aan die heilige Pastore te openbaar oor aangeleenthede wat die beswil van die Kerk betref. Hulle het ook die reg om hulle sieninge aan Christus se getroues bekend te maak, maar sodoende moet hulle altyd die integriteit van geloof en sedes respekteer, hul pastore behoorlik eerbied betoon en rekening hou met die gemeenskaplike welsyn en waardigheid van individue. -Kode van Kanoniese reg, 212
About three weeks ago, there was a single “now word” on my heart:
Verraai.
I began to write about it… but something stopped me. A few days later, I came across newly published remarks from a book by Pope Francis in collaboration with Austin Ivereigh called Laat ons droom. His words were directed toward those who are raising grave concerns over everything from the lack of sound science behind gedwing maskermandate[30]sien Ontmasker die feite to the dangerous and unprecedented mass lockdowns of the healthy:
Some of the protests during the coronavirus crisis have brought to the fore an angry spirit of victimhood, but this time among people who are victims only in their own imagination: those who claim, for example, that being forced to wear a mask is an unwarranted imposition by the state, yet who forget or do not care about those who cannot rely, for example, on social security or who have lost their jobs. With some exceptions, governments have made great efforts to put the well-being of their people first, acting decisively to protect health and to save lives… most governments acted responsibly, imposing strict measures to contain the outbreak. Yet some groups protested, refusing to keep their distance, marching against travel restrictions—as if measures that governments must impose for the good of their people constitute some kind of political assault on autonomy or personal freedom!… We spoke earlier of narcissism, of armor-plated selves, of people who live off grievance, thinking only of themselves… they are incapable of moving outside of their own little world of interests. - Pous Franciscus, Laat ons droom: die pad na 'n beter toekoms (bl. 26-28), Simon & Schuster (Kindle-uitgawe)
The irony is utterly tragic. I literally cried over these words. For once, Pope Francis has left me speechless. To say to those who are warning that the restrictions are hurting the most vulnerable (the very poor that Pope Francis calls us to serve), that increasingly governments are doing tremendous harm through lockdowns that are destroying the economic sector, destabilizing nations, impoverishing billions, and pushing people to suicide, starvation, if not war… that there are real technocratic threats… to frame this as somehow having given in to “an angry spirit of victimhood”, to “narcissism… armor-plated selves… thinking only of themselves… incapable of moving outside of their own little world of interests” has been the most painful abandonment of all. As Pope Francis now joins the chorus of voices in the world who are using “COVID-19” and “climate change” as the opportunity to “build back better”[31]see message of the Holy Father, December 3rd, 2020; vatikaan.va the world according to Marxist principles, the words of Ezekiel have taken on their most sorrowful realization in our time:
Hulle is toe verstrooi weens gebrek aan 'n herder, en het voedsel geword vir al die wilde diere. (Esegiël 34:5)
Perhaps there is another meaning to the vision of the “third secret” that was given to the three children of Fatima regarding the “Bishop in white”:
Die engel het met 'n harde stem uitgeroep: 'Boete, boete, boete!'. And we saw in an immense light that is God: ‘something similar to how people appear in a mirror when they pass in front of it’ a Bishop dressed in White ‘we had the impression that it was the Holy Father’. Other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious going up a steep mountain, at the top of which there was a big Cross of rough-hewn trunks as of a cork-tree with the bark; before reaching there the Holy Father passed through a big city half in ruins and half trembling with halting step, afflicted with pain and sorrow, he prayed for the souls of the corpses he met on his way; having reached the top of the mountain, on his knees at the foot of the big Cross he was killed by a group of soldiers who fired bullets and arrows at him, and in the same way there died one after another the other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious, and various lay people of different ranks and positions. Beneath the two arms of the Cross there were two Angels each with a crystal aspersorium in his hand, in which they gathered up the blood of the Martyrs and with it sprinkled the souls that were making their way to God. -Die boodskap van Fatima, 13 Julie 1917; vatikaan.va
Perhaps this is a vision of a pope who, having realized his error — an error that unintentionally led to the enslavement and death of his flock — is forced to walk past the “corpses he met on his way.” A vision of a pope who naively placed trust in a “Globale herstel” that would exclude the very Christians he thought it would serve. A vision of a pope who would recognize his mistake far too late and “half trembling with halting step, afflicted with pain and sorrow,” would then lead the Church through her passion, 
death, and eventual resurrection.
… Daar is die behoefte aan die passie van die kerkwat homself van nature op die persoon van die pous weerspieël, maar die pous is in die kerk en daarom word die lyding vir die kerk aangekondig ... —POPE BENEDICT XVI, onderhoud met verslaggewers op sy vlug na Portugal; vertaal uit Italiaans, Corriere della Sera, Mei 11, 2010
And perhaps this is why, when Our Lady asked that this third secret be read aloud, that pope after pope did not disclose the secret for fear of shaking the faith of the flock.
I don’t know. I just continue to pray each day for our Pope and our shepherds, for their strength, wisdom and protection. But I cannot remain silent while I watch my brothers and sisters being led into the jaws of a dragon and the clutches of a Beast….
Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on Your flock, scattered and abandoned to the wolves… Come and lead us through the Valley of the Culture of Death until we reach the green pastures of the Kingdom of Your Divine Will where, at last, Your sheep may enjoy their “sabbath rest.” [32]"But when the Antichrist shall have devastated all things in this world, he will reign for three years and six months, and sit in the temple at Jerusalem; and then the Lord will come from Heaven in the clouds… sending this man and those who follow him into the lake of fire; but bringing in for the righteous the times of the kingdom, that is, the rest, the hallowed seventh day… These are to take place in the times of the kingdom, that is, upon the seventh day… the true Sabbath of the righteous… Those who saw John, the Lord’s disciple, [tell us] that they heard from him how the Lord taught and spoke about these times…” —St. Irenaeus of Lyons, Church Father (140–202 A.D.); Adversus Haereses, Irenaeus of Lyons, V.33.3.4,Die Vaders van die Kerk, CIMA Publishing Co.
In ons tyd, meer as ooit tevore, is die lafhartigheid en swakheid van goeie mense die grootste voordeel van slegte gesindhede, en al die krag van Satan se regering is te danke aan die gemaklike swakheid van Katolieke. O, as ek die Goddelike Verlosser sou vra, soos die profeet Zachary in die gees gedoen het: 'Wat is hierdie wonde in u hande?' die antwoord sou nie betwyfel word nie. 'Hiermee is ek gewond in die huis van diegene wat My liefgehad het. Ek is gewond deur my vriende wat niks gedoen het om My te verdedig nie en wat hulle by elke geleentheid die makkers van my teëstanders gemaak het. ' Hierdie verwyt kan op die swak en skugter Katolieke van alle lande gerig word. - Pous ST. PIUS X, Publikasie van die besluit van die heldhaftige deugde van Sint Joan van Arc, ens., 13 Desember 1908; vatikaan.va
Ezekiel concludes…
Thus says the Lord GOD: Look! I am coming against these shepherds. I will take my sheep out of their hand and put a stop to their shepherding my flock, so that these shepherds will no longer pasture them.. I will deliver them from every place where they were scattered on the day of dark clouds… In good pastures I will pasture them; on the mountain heights of Israel will be their grazing land. There they will lie down on good grazing ground; in rich pastures they will be pastured on the mountains of Israel. I myself will pasture my sheep; I myself will give them rest… (Ezekiel 34:10-15)
