By Mark Mallett FR. GABRIEL was unvesting after Mass when a familiar voice interrupted the silence.
A group of cardinals known as “St. Gallen’s mafia” apparently wanted Jorge Bergoglio elected to advance their modernist agenda. News of this group emerged a few years ago and has led some to continue to allege that the election of Pope Francis is, therefore, invalid.
By Mark Mallett FR. Gabriel was a few minutes late for his Saturday morning brunch with Bill and Kevin. Marg Tomey had just returned from a pilgrimage to Lourdes and Fatima with a fist full of rosaries and holy medals that she wanted blessed after Mass. She came prepared with a pre-Vatican II book […]
By Mark Mallett “THAT Pope Francis!” Bill slammed his fist on the table, turning a few heads in the process. Fr. Gabriel smiled wryly. “What now Bill?” “Splash! Did you hear that?” Kevin quipped, leaning across the table, his hand cupped over his ear. “Another Catholic jumping over the Barque of Peter!”

What is of primary importance is that we remain in communion with one another—being patient with, and bearing one another’s burdens—including the Holy Father. We are in a time of sifting, and many do not […]
FUNDAMENTALIST websites were quick to declare: “POPE FRANCIS RELEASES A ONE WORLD RELIGION PRAYER VIDEO SAYING ALL FAITHS THE SAME” An “end times” news website claims: “POPE FRANCIS MAKES PROCLAMATION FOR A ONE WORLD RELIGION” And ultra-conservative Catholic websites declared that Pope Francis is preaching “HERESY!”
or on YouTube ith news of the Vatican offering to host peace negotiations between Russia and the Ukraine, new speculations have arisen regarding an alleged “prophecy” from Garabandal, Spain. As such, people are reaching out to me for comment…
(Screenshot EWTN) ow this papal election fulfills the most important prophecy, and the opportunity this presents…
ecent headlines from Catholic news outlet LifeSiteNews (LSN) have been shocking: “We shouldn’t be afraid of concluding that Francis isn’t pope: here’s why” (October 30, 2024) “Prominent Italian priest claims Francis is not the pope in viral sermon” (October 24, 2024) “Doctor Edmund Mazza: Here’s why I believe the Bergoglian pontificate is invalid“ (November […]
The LORD addressed Job out of the storm and said: “Have you ever in your lifetime commanded the morning and shown the dawn its place for taking hold of the ends of the earth, till the wicked are shaken from its surface?” (Job 38: 1, 12-13) We thank you because your Son is to […]

AFTER spending several days reflecting and begging God for Divine Wisdom, I am sitting down to write about Pope Francis and The Great Reset. In the meantime, I have sent you two writings that I published in 2019 that serve as a prologue: The Popes and the New World Order.
The primary cause of the sexual and cultural revolution is ideological. Our Lady of Fatima has said that Russia’s errors would spread all over the world. It was first done under a violent form, classical Marxism, by killing tens of millions. Now it’s being done mostly by cultural Marxism. There is continuity from Lenin’s […]
THE conclusion of the series on The New Paganism is a rather sobering one. A false environmentalism, ultimately organized and promoted by the United Nations, is leading the world down the path toward an increasingly godless “new world order.” So why, you might be asking, is Pope Francis supporting the UN? Why have other […]
The Chair of Peter, St. Peter’s, Rome; Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1598-1680) OVER the weekend, Pope Francis added to the Acta Apostolicae Sedis (the record of the papacy’s official acts) a letter he sent to the Bishops of Buenos Aires last year, approving their guidelines for discerning Communion for the divorced and remarried based on their […]

With dozens of new subscribers coming on board now each week, old questions are popping up such as this one: Why aren’t the Pope’s speaking about the end times? The answer will surprise many, reassure others, and challenge many more. First published September 21st, 2010, I have updated this writing to the present pontificate.
THE NOW WORD ON MASS READINGSfor October 8th, 2014 Liturgical texts here Peter’s Denial by Michael D. O’Brien The subject matter of this meditation is so important, that I am sending this to both my daily readers of the Now Word, and those who are on the Spiritual Food for Thought mailing list.

THERE is a phrase in the Catechism that is, I think, critical to repeat at this time. The Pope, Bishop of Rome and Peter’s successor, “is the perpetual and visible source and foundation of the unity both of the bishops and of the whole company of the faithful.” —Catechism of the Catholic Church, […]
IN February last year, shortly after Benedict XVI’s resignation, I wrote The Sixth Day, and how we appear to be approaching the “twelve o’clock hour,” the threshold of the Day of the Lord. I wrote then, The next pope will guide us too… but he is ascending a throne that the world wishes […]
St. Francis, by Michael D. O’Brien THERE is something stirring in my heart… no, stirring I believe in the whole Church: a quiet counter-revolution to the current Global Revolution underway. It is a Franciscan Revolution…
Former Archbishop Jorge Mario Cardinal Bergogli0 (Pope Francis) riding the busFile source unknown THE letters in response to Understanding Francis couldn’t be more diverse. From those who said it was one of the most helpful articles on the Pope that they’ve read, to others warning that I am deceived. Yes, this is precisely […]
AFTER Pope Benedict XVI relinquished the seat of Peter, I sensed in prayer several times the words: You have entered into dangerous days. It was the sense that the Church is entering into a period of great confusion. Enter: Pope Francis. Not unlike Blessed John Paul II’s papacy, our new pope has also overturned the […]
Prayer, by Michael D. O’Brien SINCE the abdication of Peter’s seat by Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, there have been many questions surrounding private revelation, some prophecies, and certain prophets. I will attempt to answer those questions here… I. You occasionally refer to “prophets.” But didn’t prophecy and the line of prophets end with […]
Always be ready to give an explanation to anyone who asks you for a reason for your hope, but do it with gentleness and reverence… (1 Peter 3:15) I am not ashamed of the Gospel: it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who has faith. (Rom 1:16) or on YouTube […]
n this all new webcast, Mark Mallett and Prof. Daniel O’Connor reunite to discuss what the real heart of prophecy is — predicting the future, or calling us to the present moment?
very year at this time, there is the predictable lament that the “meaning of Christmas” has been lost. No doubt, it’s been heavily commercialized, whether by corporations, Hollywood, or the music industry. As such, Christians might be tempted to heap scorn upon the culture, venting our indignation and dismay at how Christmas has been […]

Often it seems that God does not exist: all around us we see persistent injustice, evil, indifference and cruelty. —POPE FRANCIS, Evangelii Gaudium, n. 276 nother day. Another mass murder.

When he broke open the second seal, I heard the second living creature cry out, “Come forward.” Another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take peace away from the earth, so that people would slaughter one another. And he was given a huge sword. (Rev 6:3-4) …we witness […]
uring my television training years, we learned many lighting techniques, including the use of “God’s hour” — that period before sunset when golden light floods the earth with a captivating glow. The film industry frequently takes advantage of this time frame to shoot scenes that otherwise are more difficult to reproduce with artificial lights.
These signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will drive out demons, they will speak new languages… They will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover. (Mark 16:17-18) midst the tribulations of our times, there is a movement of God going barely noticed. He is raising up a […]
he election of Pope Leo XIV led to immediate negativity toward the 267th pontiff from some Catholic corners. But is that the voice of the Spirit — or “flesh and blood”?
“Do you love me?” and Peter said to him, “Lord, You know everything; you know that I love You.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep”…And when he had said this, he said to him, “Follow Me.”(John 21:17-19) or on YouTube
