REVELATION 17:4-6,9
4 And the woman (FALSE CHURCH) was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour,(VATICAN COLOURS)(ANOTHER REASON WE KNOW THE FALSE POPE COMES FROM THE VATICAN) and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.(THE VATICAN IS BUILT ON 7 HILLS OR MOUNTAINS)

The Cardinals are Bishops, they wear the color crimson (scarlet) red to represent the blood of the martyrs who died for Christ. They are also referred as the Princes of Blood.The Bishops wear the color purple to symbolize royalty, because of their position within the Church. They also wear the color black to symbolize poverty.

BISHOP SHEEN (CATHOLIC PREIST)-THE FALSE POPE WILL HAVE A RELIGION WITHOUT A CROSS,A RELIGION WITHOUT A WORLD TO COME,A RELIGION TO DESTROY RELIGIONS.THERE WILL BE A COUNTERFEIT CHURCH.CHRISTS CHURCH WILL BE ONE,AND THE FALSE POPE WILL CREATE THE OTHER.THE FALSE CHURCH WILL BE WORLDLY,ECUMENICAL AND GLOBAL.IT WILL BE A LOOSE FEDERATION OF CHURCHES.(WORLD COUNCIL OF LUKEWARM CHURCHES) AND RELIGIONS (ISLAM AND THE NEW AGE MOVEMENTS INCLUDED) FORMING SOME TYPE OF GLOBAL ASSOCIATION,A WORLD PARLIAMONT OF CHURCHES.IT WILL BE EMPTIED OF ALL DIVINE CONTENT (NO JESUS IN THIS PRETEND RELIGION) AND WILL BE THE MYSTICAL BODY OF THE ANTICHRIST OR WORLD DICTATOR OR SUBSTITUTE FOR CHRIST (AS WELL AS THE FALSE VATICAN POPE)(AS THESE TWO WILL BE HAND IN GLOVE IN PARTNERSHIP DURING THE 7 YEAR DECEPTION TRIBULATION PERIOD OF DEATH DESTRUCTION AND THE WORST DECEPTION IN HISTORY).

THE MYSTICAL BODY ON EARTH TODAY WILL HAVE ITS JUDAS ISCARIOT.AND HE WILL BE THE FALSE POPE.SATAN WILL RECRUIT HIM FROM AMOUNG OUR CARDINALS (BISHOPS.)(CATHOLIC CARDINALS TO BE MADE THE POPE)(ONE BECOMES THE FALSE POPE PETER THE ROMAN WHICH SHOULD BE THE NEXT POPE FOLLOWING BENEDICT 16TH WHO IS CURRENTLY THE VATICAN POPE.)  

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I PREDICT UNDER THE NEXT POPE.MUSLIMS WILL BE ACCEPTED AS BED FELLOWS WITH CHRISTIANITY.HOMOSEXUALITY ,ABORTION AND SUCH ISSUES WILL BE WATERED DOWN TO FIT THE WORLDS VIEWS.AND ANYBODY WHO COMES AGAINST THESE LUKEWARM GODLESS VIEWS WILL BE CLASSIFIED AS HATERS,BIGGOTS,RACIST AND WILL BE BLACKLISTED AS FALSE BY THESE FALSE LUKEWARM LEADERS.WE ARE IN FOR ONE WATERING DOWN OF GODS WORDS I PREDICT.WHICH WILL DRIVE THE TRUE CHRISTIANS FROM THIS FALSE LUKEWARM SYSTEM.AND THE PERSECUSSION WILL BE AGAINST THE TRUE CHRISTIANS BIGTIME.

02/27/2013 VATICAN INSIDER

Benedict XVI: “I do not abandon the cross”

Benedict XVI's last General Audience

Benedict XVI’s last General Audience. The reasons for the Pope’s resignation and faith in the Catholic Church

Alessandro Speciale vatican city “I do not abandon the cross”: In his last public appearance as Pope at today’s General Audience, in a St. Peter’s Square full to the brim with cardinals and simple faithful, Pope Benedict XVI made one last attempt to explain the innermost reasons for his unprecedented resignation. Addressing his 150,000-strong audience, the Pope said he was aware of the “gravity” and “novelty” of his decision but that he had taken this step “with a deep peace of mind” and “great trust” in the Church.This is the first time Benedict XVI spoke so extensively about the reasons that led him to become the first Pope to resign in 600 years. His catechesis was an indirect response to the doubts expressed by many within the Church in recent weeks.Twice the Pope cast his audience’s mind back to the day of his election – 19 April 2005 – reiterating that the commitment he took on that day was “forever”. “He who assumes the Petrine ministry no longer has any privacy. He belongs always and totally to everyone, to the whole Church. His life is, so to speak, totally deprived of the private sphere,” what with all the “pastoral visits”, “public encounters”, “Audiences” and “travelling” he must undertake.Ratzinger explained to Catholics from al lover the world that his resignation in no way means “he is abandon[ing]  the cross, but remain in a new way near to the Crucified Lord.” Although Benedict XVI will no longer be governing the Church, “in the service of prayer I remain, so to speak, within St. Peter’s bounds,” he said. This message sheds more light on the reason for his decision to adopt the title “Emeritus Pope” when he resigns and to continue to dress in the papal colour white. He announced this decision yesterday.His decision to resign was an easy one, the Pope admitted, but “loving the Church also means having the courage to make difficult, trying choices, having ever before oneself the good of the Church and not one’s own. “

Benedict XVI also looked back at his eight years as Pope, a time which has seen “moments joy and light, but also difficult moments.” Ratzinger evoked the image of the Church as St. Peter’s boat, one he had already used to condemn the failings of the Church ahead of the Conclave which elected him Pope. “The Lord has given us many days of sunshine and gentle breeze days in which the catch has been abundant; [then] there have been times when the seas were rough and the wind against us and the Lord seemed to sleep,” Benedict XVI said. In response to the numerous conspiracy theories and behind-the-scenes events of recent weeks, the Pope said “I have not ever felt myself alone in bearing either the joys or the weight of the Petrine ministry.”But even now that he is faced with so many personal and collective difficulties, the Pope wished to place an emphasis on faith in his last public speech: “Today my heart is filled with gratitude to God, for never did He leave me or the Church without His consolation, His light, His love.” “I see the Church is alive,” the Pope added in an off-the-cuff comment at the beginning of his speech, as he looked across St. Peter’s Square at the thousands of people who had broken into applause. Finally, Benedict XVI expressed his gratitude to all: firstly to the cardinals, starting with the Secretary of State, Tarcisio Bertone who “has stood faithfully by his side throughout [his] papacy,” the various members of the Church, accredited diplomats and all those who work in the communications sector as he recognised that relations with the media have not always been easy during his pontificate.

POPE BENEDICT XVI’s LAST GENERAL AUDIENCE - 27/02/2

013

*********************************

Venerable Brothers in the Episcopate and in the Priesthood.Distinguished Authorities!Dear brothers and sisters!

Thank you for coming in such large numbers to the last General Audience of my pontificate.Like the Apostle Paul in the biblical text that we have heard, I feel in my heart the paramount duty to thank God, who guides the Church and makes her grow: who sows His Word and thus nourishes the faith in His people. At this moment my spirit reaches out to embrace the whole Church throughout the world, and I thank God for the “news”that in these years of Petrine ministry I have been able to receive regarding the faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and the charity that circulates in the body of the Church – charity that makes the Church to live in love – and of the hope that opens for us the way towards the fullness of life, and directs u

s towards the heavenly homeland.I feel I [ought to] carry everyone in prayer, in a present that is God’s, where I recall every meeting, every voyage, every pastoral visit. I gather everyone and every thing in prayerful recollection, in order to entrust them to the Lord: in order that we might have full knowledge of His will, with every wisdom and spiritual understanding, and in order that we might comport ourselves in a manner that is worthy of Him, of His, bearing fruit in every good work (c

f. Col 1:9-10).At this time, I have within myself a great trust [in God], because I know – all of us know – that the Gospel’s word of truth is the strength of the Church: it is her life. The Gospel purifies and renews: it bears fruit wherever the community of believers hears and welcomes the grace of God in truth and lives in charity. This is my faith, this

is my joy.When, almost eight years ago, on April 19th, [2005], I agreed to take on the Petrine ministry, I held steadfast in thiscertainty, which has always accompanied me. In that moment, as I have already stated several times, the words that

resounded in my heart were: “Lord, what do you ask of me? It a great weight that You place on my shoulders, but, if You ask me, at your word I will throw out the nets,sure that you will guide me” – and the Lord really has guided me.He has been close to me: daily could I feel His presence. [These years] have been a stretch of the Church’s pilgrim way,which has seen moments joy and light, but also difficult moments. I have felt like St. Peter with the Apostles in the boat on the Sea of Galilee: the Lord has given us many days of sunshine and gentle breeze, days in which the catch has been abundant; [then] there have been times when the seas were rough and the wind against us, as in the whole history of the Church it has ever been - and the Lord seemed to sleep. Nevertheless, I always knew that the Lord is in the barque, that the barque of the Church is not mine, not ours, but His - and He shall not let her sink. It is He, who steers her: to besure, he does so also through men of His choosing,for He desired that it be so. This was and is a certainty that nothing can tarnish. It is for this reason, that today my heart is filled with gratitude to God, for never did He leave me or the Church without His consolation, His light, His love

.

We are in the Year of Faith, which I desired in order to strengthen our own faith in God in a context that seems to push faith more and more toward the margins of life. I would like to invite everyone to renew firm trust in the Lord. I would like that we all, entrust ourselves as children to the arms of God, and rest assured that those arms support us and us to walk every day, even in times of struggle. I would like everyone to feel loved by the God who gave His Son for us and showed us His boundless love. I want everyone to feel the joy of being Christian. In a beautiful prayer to be recited daily in the morning says, “I adore you, my God, I love you with all my heart. I thank You for having created me, for having made me a Christian.” Yes, we are happy for the gift of faith: it is the most precious good, that no one can take from us! Let us thank God for this every day, with prayer and with a coherent Christian life. God loves us, but He also expects that we love Him!

At this time, however, it is not only God, whom I desire to thank. A Pope is not alone in guiding St.Peter’s barque,even if it is his first responsibility – and I have not ever felt myself alone in bearing either the joys or the weight of the Petrine ministry. The Lord has placed next to me many people, who, with generosity and love for God and the Church,have helped me and been close to me. First of all you, dear Brother Cardinals: your wisdom, your counsels, your friendship, were all precious to me. My collaborators, starting with my Secretary of State, who accompanied me faithfully over the years, the Secretariat of State and the whole Roman Curia, as well as all those who, in various areas,give their service to the Holy See: the many faces which never emerge, but remain in the background, in silence, in their daily commitment, with a spirit of faith and humility. They have been for me a sure and reliable support. A special thought [goes] to the Church of Rome, my diocese! I can not forget the Brothers in the Episcopate and in the Priesthood, the consecrated persons and the entire People of God: in pastoral visits, in public encounters, at Audiences,in traveling, I have always received great care and

deep affection; I also loved each and every one, without exception,with that pastoral charity which is the heart of every shepherd, especially the Bishop of Rome, the Successor of the Apostle Peter. Every day I carried each of you in m

y prayers, with the father's heart.I wish my greetings and my thanks to reach everyone: the heart of a Pope expands to [embrace] the whole world. I would like to express my gratitude to the Diplomatic Corps accredited to the Holy See, which makes present the great family of nations. Here I also think of all those who work for good communication, whom I thank for their important service.At this point I would like to offer heartfelt thanks to all the many people throughout the whole world, who, in recent weeks have sent me moving tokens of concern, friendship and prayer. Yes, the Pope is never alone: now I experience this [truth] again in a way so great as to touch my very heart. The Pope belongs to everyone, and so m

any people feel very close to him. It’s true that I receive letters from the world's greatest figures - from the Heads

of  State, religious leaders, representatives of the world of culture and so on. I also receive many letters from ordinary

people who write to me simply from their heart and let me feel their affection, which is born of our being together in Chr

ist Jesus, in the Church. These people do not write me as one might write, for example, to a prince or a great figure on

e does not know.They write as brothers and sisters, sons and daughters, with the sense of very affectionate family tie

s. Here, one can touch what the Church is – not an organization, not an association for religious or humanitarian purpo

ses, but a living body, a community of brothers and sisters in the Body of Jesus Christ, who unites us all. To experienc

e the Church in this way and almost be able to touch with one’s hands the power of His truth and His love, is a source

of joy, in a time in which many speak of its decline.In recent months, I felt that my strength had decreased, and I asked God with insistence in prayer to enlighten me with His light to make me take the right decision – not for my sake, but for the good of the Church. I have taken this step in full awareness of its severity and also its novelty, but with a deep peace of mind. Loving the Church also means having the courage to make difficult, trying choices, having ever before oneself the good of the Church and not one’s own.Here allow me to return once again to April 19, 2005. The gravity of the decision was precisely in the fact that from that moment on I was committed always and forever by the Lord. Always – he, who assumes the Petrine ministry no longer has any privacy. He belongs always and totally to everyone, to the whole Church. His life is, so to speak, totally deprived of the private sphere. I have felt, and I feel even in this very moment, that one receives one’s life precisely when he offers it as a gift. I said before that many people who love the Lord also love the Successor of Saint Peter and are fond of him, that the Pope has truly brothers and sisters, sons and daughters all over the world,and that he feels safe in the embrace of their communion, because he no longer belongs to himself, but he belongs to all and all are truly his own.The “always” is also a “forever” - there is no returning to private life. My decision to forgo the exercise of active ministry, does not revoke this. I do not return to private life, to a life of travel, meetings, receptions, conferences and soon. I do not abandon the cross, but remain in a new way near to the Crucified Lord. I no longer wield

the power of the office for the government of the Church, but in the service of prayer I remain, so to speak, within St

. Peter’s bounds. St.Benedict, whose name I bear as Pope, shall be a great example in this for me. He showed us the way to

a life which,active or passive, belongs wholly to the work of God.I thank each and every one of you for the respect and understanding with which you have welcomed this important decision. I continue to accompany the Church on her

way through prayer and reflection, with the dedication to the Lord and to His Bride, which I have hitherto tried to li

ve daily and that I would live forever. I ask you to remember me before God, and above all to pray for the Cardinals, who a

re called to so important a task, and for the new Successor of Peter,that the Lord might accompany him with the light an

d the power of His Spirit.Let us invoke the maternal intercession of Mary, Mother of God and of the Church, that she might accompany each of us and the whole ecclesial community: to her we entrust ourselves, with deep trust.Dear friends! God guides His Church, maintains her always, and especially in difficult times. Let us never lose this vision of faith, which is the only true vision of the way of the Church and the world. In our heart, in the heart of each of you, let there be always the joyous certainty that the Lord is near, that He does not abandon us, that He is near to us and that He surrounds us with His love. Thank you.
