Essays of a Catholic
Hilaire Belloc
AN EYE-OPENING BOOK FROM A BRILLIANT, BELOVED CATHOLIC WRITER!
Essays of a Catholic is a book as provocative now as it was when it first appeared in 1931. Hilaire Belloc’s observations about our civilization’s demise are all the more urgent today, because they are proving to be prophetic. We are troubled witnesses to many of the evils he predicted as we watch the working out of the destructive trends and forces that he warned would lead to disaster.
What key insight led to Belloc’s keen discernment of the times? He recognized that the Catholic Church has inspired and formed our great Western civilization. As the influence of that mighty institution wanes, then—as society slowly abandons what it has learned from her—the night¬ descends on our way of life as we have known it. In its stead emerges a new paganism, and with it, a new barbarism.
In these essays, Belloc sharpens our awareness of the calamitous effects of this waning influence of the Catholic Church in society. There is hope for the future of our civilization—but only if we as a people embrace once more the liberating truth of the Catholic faith.
The great Hilaire Belloc was one of the foremost Catholic historians of the past two centuries. His astute analysis of our cultural and social ills culminates in an urgent prophetic call for Western civilization to return to its Catholic roots.

THE GREAT HERESIES
By Hilaire Belloc
The Great Heresies. Here the great Catholic historian Hilaire Belloc analyzes 5 of the greatest heresies of all time: Arianism, Mohammedanism (Islam), Albigensianism, Protestantism, and "the Modern Attack," showing that the world would be vastly different today if Arianism or Albigensianism had survived--and how it is different because Protestantism survived. He predicts the re-emergence of Islam; explains how the Modern Attack is the worst threat to the Catholic Church ever.
About The Author

Deu 18:20 But the prophet,

him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet
shall die.
Deu 18:21 And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which
the LORD hath not spoken?
Deu 18:22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow
not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but
the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.
Jer 23:14 I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing:
they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of

Sister Elena
Aiello (20th Century, Italy)
The Blessed Virgin showed her other visions during 1959-1961: "Oh, what a
horrible vision I see! A great revolution is going on in Rome! They are entering
the Vatican. The Pope is all alone; he is praying. They are holding the Pope.
They take him by force. They knock him down to the floor. They are tying him.
Oh. God! Oh, God! They are kicking him. What a horrible scene! How dreadful!"
"Our Blessed Mother is drawing near. Like corpses those evil men fall down
to the floor. Our Lady helps the Pope to his feet and, taking him by the arm,
She covers him with her mantle saying: Fear not!' "Russia will march upon
all the nations of Europe, particularly Italy, and will raise her flag over
the dome of St. Peter's. Italy will be severely tried by a great revolution,
and Rome will be purified in blood for its many sins, especially those of
impurity. The flock is about to be dispersed and the Pope will suffer greatly."

Prophecy of The Third Secret of Fatima
The Kingdom of the Bride
"Toward
the end of the world, Antichrist will overthrow the pope and usurp his See."...."The
sanctify of this beneficent Pontiff will be so great that the highest potentates
shall bow down before his presence. This holy man shall crush the arrogance
of religious schism and hersy. All men will return to the primitive Church,
and there shall be only one pastor, one law, one master - humble, modest and
fearing God... because only God alone can and will pour down on the wounds
of humanity the oily balm of sweetness... "The city of Babylon shall
then be the head and the guide of the world. Rome, weakened in temporal power,
shall preserve her spiritual dominion and shall enjoy great peace. Six and
a half years after this time the Pope will render his soul to God"
"After many prolonged sufferings endured by Christians, and after a too
great effusion of innocent blood, the Lord shall give peace and happiness
to the desolated nations. A remarkable Pope will be seated on the pontifical
throne, under the special protection of the angels (Angelic Pastor?). Holy
and full of gentleness, he shall undo all wrong, he shall recover the states
of the Church, and reunite the exiled temporal powers. He shall be revered
by all people, and shall recover the kingdom of Jerusalem. As the only Pastor
he shall reunite the Eastern to the Western Church, and thus one only faith
will be in vigour. The sanctity of this beneficent Pontiff will be so great
that the highest potentates shall bow down before his presence. This holy
man shall crush the arrogance of religious schism and heresy. All men will
return to the primitive Church, and there shall be one only pastor, one law,
one master-humble, modest, and fearing God (Pope). The true God of the Jews,
our Lord Jesus Christ, will make everything prosper beyond all human hope,
because God alone can and will pour down on the wounds of humanity the oily
balm of sweetness.
"The heavens proclaim the glory of God, and the faithful are in joy and
happiness, because the Lord has vouchsafed to be merciful to them. He shall
invite his elect to the banquet of the Lamb, where melodious canticles and
harmonious concerts will be heard.
"The power of this Pontiff's holiness will be so great as to be able
to check the fury and impetuosity of threatening waves. Mountains shall be
lowered before him, the sea shall be dried up, the dead shall be raised, the
churches shall be reopened and altars erected.
"It should be known that there will be two heads, one in the East, and
the other in the West. This Pope shall break the weapons and scatter the fighting
hordes. He will be the joy of God's elect. This angelic Pope will preach the
gospel in every country. Through his zeal and solicitude the Greek Church
shall be forever reunited to the Catholic Church.
"Before, however, being firmly and solidly established in the Holy See,
there will be innumerable wars and violent conflicts during which the sacred
throne shall be shaken. But through the favor of Divine clemency, moved by
the prayers of the faithful, everything will succeed so well that they shall
be able to sing hymns of thanksgiving to the glory of the Lord.
"This holy Pope shall be both pastor and reformer. Through him the East
and West shall be in everlasting concord. The city of Babylon shall then be
the head and guide of the world. Rome, weakened in temporal power, shall forever
preserve her spiritual dominion, and shall enjoy great peace. During these
happy days the Angelic Pope shall be able to address to Heaven prayers full
of sweetness. The dispersed nation (Jews) shall also enjoy tranquility. Six
and a half years after this time the Pope will render his soul to God. The
end of his days shall arrive in an arid province, situated between a river
and a lake near the mountains. . . .
"At the beginning, in order to obtain these happy results, having need
of a powerful temporal assistance, this holy Pontiff will ask the cooperation
of the generous monarch of France (Great Monarch). At that time a handsome
monarch, a scion of King Pepin, will come as a pilgrim to witness the splendorof
this glorious pontiff, whose name shall begin with R . . . A temporal throne
becoming vacant, the Pope shall place on it this king whose assistance he
shall ask.
"When a monster shall appear to thee in the sky, thou shalt find a ready
escape towards the east, and after nine years thou shalt render thy soul to
God.
"A man of remarkable sanctity will be his successor in the Pontifical
chair. Through him God will work so many prodigies that all men shall revere
him, and no person will dare to oppose his precepts. He shall not allow the
clergy to have many benefices. He will induce them to live by the tithes and
offerings of the faithful. He shall interdict pomp in dress, and all immorality
in dances and songs. He will preach the gospel in person, and exhort all honest
ladies to appear in public without any ornament of gold or precious stones.
After having occupied the Holy See for a long period of time he shall happily
return to the Lord.
"His three immediate successors shall be men of exemplary holiness. One
after the other will be models of virtue, and shall work miracles, confirming
the teaching of their predecessors. Under their government the Church shall
spread, and these Popes shall be called the Angelic Pastors."

Full Text of the Third Secret of Fatima not revealed?
In a 1980 interview for the German magazine Stimme des Glaubens published in October 1981, John Paul II was asked explicitly to speak about the third secret. He said: "Because of the seriousness of its contents, in order not to encourage the world wide power of Communism to carry out certain coups, my predecessors in the chair of Peter have diplomatically preferred to withhold its publication. On the other hand, it should be sufficient for all Christians to know this much: if there is a message in which it is said that the oceans will flood entire sections of the earth; that, from one moment to the other, millions of people will perish... there is no longer any point in really wanting to publish this secret message. Many want to know merely out of curiosity, or because of their taste for sensationalism, but they forget that 'to know' implies for them a responsibility. It is dangerous to want to satisfy one's curiosity only, if one is convinced that we can do nothing against a catastrophe that has been predicted." He held up his rosary and stated "Here is the remedy against this evil. Pray, pray and ask for nothing else. Put everything in the hands of the Mother of God." Asked what would happen in the Church, he said: "We must be prepared to undergo great trials in the not-too-distant future; trials that will require us to be ready to give up even our lives, and a total gift of self to Christ and for Christ. Through your prayers and mine, it is possible to alleviate this tribulation, but it is no longer possible to avert it, because it is only in this way that the Church can be effectively renewed. How many times, indeed, has the renewal of the Church been effected in blood? This time, again, it will not be otherwise. We must be strong, we must prepare ourselves, we must entrust ourselves to Christ and to His holy Mother, and we must be attentive, very attentive, to the prayer of the Rosary.
Lúcia herself is reported to have explicitly stated that the Third Secret contains Apocalyptic content. According to one source, when Lúcia was asked about the Third Secret, she said it was "in the Gospels and in the Apocalypse", and at one point she had even specified Apocalypse chapters 8 to 13, a range that includes Apocalypse 12:4, the chapter and verse cited by Pope John Paul II in his homily in Fatima on 13 May 2000.
A news article quoted former Philippine ambassador to the Vatican, Howard Dee, as saying that Cardinal Ratzinger had personally confirmed to him that the messages of Akita and Fatima are "essentially the same."
A TERRIBLE WARNING - THE MESSAGE OF OUR LADY OF AKITA, JAPAN: The third message on October 13, 1973, the actual anniversary of the final visions and miracle of Fatima is as follows: "As I told you, if men do not repent and better themselves, the Father will inflict a terrible punishment on all humanity. It will be a punishment greater than the deluge, such as one will never have seen before. Fire will fall from the sky and will wipe out a great part of humanity, the good as well as the bad, sparing neither priests nor faithful. The survivors will find themselves so desolate that they will envy the dead. The only arms which will remain for you will be the Rosary and the Sign left by my Son. Each day, recite the prayers of the Rosary. With the Rosary, pray for the Pope, the bishops and the priests. The work of the devil will infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, and bishops against other bishops. The priests who venerate me will be scorned and opposed by their Confreres. The Church and altars will be vandalized. The Church will be full of those who accept compromises and the demon will press many priests and consecrated souls to leave the service of the Lord.
From Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in Vatican
Text of The Third Secret of Fatima:
COMPLETE TRANSLATION OF ORIGINAL TEXT
VATICAN CITY, JUN 26, 2000 (VIS) - Given below is the complete translation of the original Portuguese text of the third part of the secret of Fatima, revealed to the three shepherd children at Cova da Iria-Fatima on July 13, 1917, and committed to paper by Sr. Lucia on January 3, 1944:
"I write in obedience to you, my God, who command me to do so through his Excellency the Bishop of Leiria and through your Most Holy Mother and mine.
"After the two parts which I have already explained, at the left of Our Lady and a little above, we saw an Angel with a flaming sword in his left hand; flashing, it gave out flames that looked as though they would set the world on fire; but they died out in contact with the splendor that Our Lady radiated towards him from her right hand: pointing to the earth with his right hand, the Angel cried out in a loud voice: 'Penance, Penance, Penance!'. 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."
