Venerable Holzhauser (17th century) The fifth period of the Church which began around 1520 will end with the arrival of the Holy Pope and the powerful Monarch who is called help from God because he will restore all things in Christ. The fifth period is one of affliction, desolation, humiliation and poverty for the Church. Jesus Christ will purify His people through cruel wars, famines, plaque, epidemics, and other horrible calamities. He will also afflict and weaken the Latin Churches with many heresies. It is a period of defections, calamities, and extermination. Those Christians who survive the sword, plaque, famines and epidemics will be few on earth. Nations will fight against nations, and will be desolated by internecine dissensions. “During this period the Wisdom of God guides the Church in several ways: 1) by chastising the Church so that riches may not corrupt her completely. ; 2) by interposing the Council of Trent like a light in the darkness, so that the Christians who see the light may know what to believe. Are we not to fear, during this period that the Mohammedans will come again, working out their sinister schemes against the Latin Church? During this period many men will abuse this freedom of conscience (heresy) conceded to them. It is of such men that Jude, the Apostle, spoke when he said: these men blaspheme whatever they do not understand; and they corrupt whatever they naturally as irrational animals do. They feast together without restraint, feeding themselves, grumbling murmurs, walking according to their lusts; their mouth speaketh proud things, they admire people for the sake of gain, they bring about division, sensual men, having not the spirit. During this period there will be laxity in divine and human precepts. Discipline will suffer. The Holy Canons will be completely disrequarded, and the clergy will not respect the Laws of the Church. Everyone will be carried away and led to believe and to do what he fancies according to the manner of the flesh. They will ridicule Christian simplicity; they will call it folly and nonsense, but they will have the highest regard for advanced knowledge and for the skill by which the axioms of the law, the precepts of morality, the Holy Canons and religious dogmas are clouded by senseless questions and elaborate arguments. As a result, no principle at all, however how holy, authentic, ancient, and certain as it may be, will remain free of censure, criticism, false interpretations, modification and delimination by man.These are evil times and heresy is everywhere! A century full of dangers and calamities. Heresy is everywhere and the followers of heresy are in power almost everywhere! Bishops, prelates and priests say they are doing their duty, that they are vigilant and that they live as befits their state of life. In like manner, therefore, they seek all excuses. But God will permit a great evil against His Church: Heretics and tyrants will come suddenly and unexpectedly; they will break into the Church while bishops, prelates and priests are asleep. They will enter Italy and lay Rome a waste; they will burn down the churches and destroy everything. The sixth period of the Church shall begin with a powerful Monarch and thee Holy Pontiff and it will last until the revelation of the Antichrist. In this period (Triumph of Immaculate Heart) God will console His Church for the affliction and great tribulation which she has endured during the fifth period. All nations will become Catholic. Vocations will be abundant as never before and all men will seek only the Kingdom of God (Catholic Church) and His Justice. Men will live in peace and this will be granted because people will make their peace with God. They will live under the protection of the Great Monarch and his successors. The powerful Monarch who will be sent by God will uproot every republic. He will submit everything to his authority and he will show great zeal for the true Church of Christ. The empire of the Mohammedans will be broken up, and this Monarch will reign in the East as well in the West. Al nations will come to worship God in the true Catholic and Roman faith. There will be many Saints and Doctors of the Church on earth. Peace will reign over the whole earth because God will bind Satan for a number of years until the days of the Son of Perdition. No one will be able to pervert the Word of God since; during the sixth period there will be an ecumenical council which will be the greatest of all the councils. By the grace of God, by the power of the Great Monarch, by the authority of the Holy Pontiff and by the union of all the most devout kings and princes (monarchs) atheism and heresy will be banished from the earth. The Council will define the true sense of Scripture, and this will be believed and accepted by everyone. When everything has been ruined by war, when Catholics are hard pressed by traitorous co-religionists and heretics, when the Church and her servants are denied her rights, when the monarchies have been overthrown and their rulers murdered, then the hand of Almighty God will work a marvelous change, something seemingly impossible according to reason. There will be a valiant King anointed by God. He will be a Catholic and a descendant of Louis IX, yet a descendant of an old imperial German family born in exile. He will rule supreme in temporal matters. The Pope will rule supreme in spiritual matters at the same time. Persecution will cease and justice shall reign. HE WILL ROOT OUT FALSE DOCTRINES (Vatican 2 and Conciliar Church). After desolation has reached its peak in England peace will be restored and England will return to the Catholic faith with greater fervor than ever before. TradCatKnight Exclusive: Ven.
