“And the Gates of Hell shall not Prevail” (Mt.16:19)
Fr. Campbell
Many
people of the world are like the Apostle Peter. They “have toiled and
have taken nothing” (Lk.5:5). This is what happens without the Lord. But
when we take the Lord at His word and work together with Him, our nets
are filled to overflowing, spiritually speaking, and our lives have
meaning and purpose.
But these are difficult times for the Church, which were already foretold in the Psalms:
“Much
have they oppressed me from my youth, let Israel say, much have they
oppressed me from my youth; yet they have not prevailed against me. Upon
my back the plowers plowed; long did they make their furrows. But the
Lord has severed the cords of the wicked” (Ps,128:1-4).
St. Paul warns us:
“There
will come a time when they will not endure the sound doctrine; but
having itching ears, will heap up to themselves teachers according to
their own lusts, and they will turn away their hearing from the truth
and turn aside rather to fables” (2Tim.4:3,4).
Whatever may come, we have these reassuring words from Our Lord to St. Peter:
“And
I say to thee, 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 thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever thou shalt
bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever thou shalt loose on
earth shall be loosed in heaven” (Mt.16:18,19).
But
something is happening at the Vatican that will shock the world. The
Catholic Church will be hated more than ever. It will be made to look as
if the Catholic Church is an evil institution that harbors pedophile
priests and bishops. Already the courts are sentencing even bishops to
prison terms. But the Vatican is not the Catholic Church, and the Papacy
has been hijacked.
At
the end of the nineteenth century, a Freemason and apostate priest,
Canon Paul Roca, made these boastful remarks about Vatican II, the end
of the Papacy, and the destruction of the Church:
“The
liturgy, ceremonial, ritual and regulations of the Roman Church will
shortly undergo a transformation at an ecumenical council… the Papacy
will fall; it will die under the hallowed knife which the Fathers of the
last Council will forge. The papal Caesar is a host (victim) crowned
for the sacrifice” (Bishop Graber, Athanasius and the Church of Our Time, p. 35).
Well,
is it true that the Catholic Church is responsible for these evil
things? Is the Catholic Church an evil and corrupt organization? Or have
the Church’s enemies done this?
The
truth is that the Church is the Body of Christ. It was founded by the
Son of God Himself, Jesus Christ, and its first pope was St. Peter,
appointed as such by the Lord. There is only one true Church, the Holy
Catholic Church. How could it be an evil organization?
The
Church, however, has been infiltrated by her enemies. Many bishops and
priests are moles, sent by the enemy to destroy the Catholic Church. The
Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and the Sacraments have been destroyed or
severely damaged by changing what is essential for their validity. Her
top positions of power and authority, popes included, have been taken
over by imposters. The Church has been infiltrated by a false church,
which has seized the positions of power and influence within the true
Church.
The
seminaries and religious orders have also been infiltrated, and
seminarians are not properly prepared for their future role as priests.
In any case, they cannot be validly ordained. I saw for myself the harm
that was done to my own Order through the influence of an imposter, who
worked to change the formation of future priests and brothers of the
Order. That same man was a consultant at Vatican II, and helped to
formulate its modernist teachings.
But
the false church will soon fall. It has made some absurd moves, like
the fast-track canonizations of the false popes of Vatican II. How can
anyone believe it, “Saint John XXIII” and “Saint John Paul II”? And
“Blessed Paul VI” is scheduled for canonization this October. In the
meantime, the cause for the sainthood of John Paul I is in progress. And
the only reason that Benedict Ratzinger and Francis Bergoglio have not
been canonized is that they are not dead yet.
But
soon the diabolical plan of the enemy will be revealed, and the true
Church will once again emerge from her eclipse. Before that happens,
however, the Catholic Church will have to endure the world’s hatred.
Churches and shrines will be destroyed and priests will be hunted down
and killed. The Holy Catholic Church will appear in the eyes of the
world to have been utterly destroyed, but the Church will rise again
like her Lord, and be vindicated in the sight of all nations.
The
Church needs us now more than ever. We must stand by her in her time of
trial, just as our Holy Mother Mary, St. John and the holy women, stood
by the foot of the Cross as Our Lord gave up His life for our
salvation. To abandon the Holy Church, which is the Body of Christ, is
to abandon our Lord Himself.
Let Our Savior, Jesus Christ, have the last word:
“Behold,
I come quickly! And my reward is with me, to render to each one
according to his works. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the
last, the beginning and the end! …Amen! Come, Lord Jesus”
(Apoc.22:12,13;20).
