A Letter
to Bruin Christian Fellowship Members of 1971
The following is a response by Father Joseph
Dwight to an invitation by Bruin Christian Fellowship members to have
a reunion during the summer of 2015. The members of this group of
“BCFers” were together at UCLA (LA, California) from about the
years 1970 to 1974.
Email to Rev. Joseph Dwight on February 22, 2015:
Rev. Dwight,
You may remember me from Hedrick Hall at UCLA. My
wife, Annette, and I are organizing a Bruin Christian Fellowship
reunion for this summer. I don't know whether you are presently in
the U.S. or Italy, but would love to catch up on your many life's
accomplishments to date. The very best of wishes for your mission and
work.
God bless,
John J

Dear John,
I was happy to hear from you. From your short
email, it seems all is going well for you and Annette. I do not plan
to come back to the States. As you know well, we are not getting any
younger, and for me it is not so easy anymore to travel. I am a
parish priest here in Italy. I have been in Italy since 1983. I think
I am beginning to loose some of my English. Give my best regards to
Annette, and I hope she has not forgotten how to play ping pong!!!
May God bless you.

What a blessing to hear from you! We all remember
you so fondly, including Annette who still has a scary Asian grip and
mean slam! I bet your Italian must be almost stronger than English
after all these years. Annette spent 3 summers in Italy and became
decently proficient, although her Spanish is still stronger. We've
spent half of the last 3 years in Peru, teaching natural approaches
to healing and holistic prevention. This is a lot different from the
pills and surgeries I pushed as a doc for many years. Tell me about
your health. Hey, we're living in the age of modern communication. If
we add a Skype segment to the reunion, would you like to say hello to
the group? It's just a thought. Anyway, thanks for such sweet
memories. And one last question, were you the one who informally
introduced the two of us over a game of ping pong? If so, we are
eternally grateful.

Dear John and Annette,
This period for me, before Easter, in full of
commitments. But at least let us pray for each other. I think in
these times it is very important to keep our eyes on the signs of the
times so as to not be led astray by “Satan disguises himself as an
angel of light” (2Cor 11:14)! So many today have closed their eyes
to THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES, and have embraced the philosophy of life
of “ignorance is bliss”? “YOU HYPOCRITES! You know how to
interpret the appearance of earth and sky; but why do you not know
how to interpret the present time?” (Lk 12:56; Mt 16:3; 24:51)!
Let us pray much for each other.
Rev. Joe
P.s. I do not have Skype, but I hope you succeed
on organizing your get together.

Rev. Joe,
Thanks for taking time to write during a very busy
time. We appreciate your recommendation that we pray for one another
and will join you. The thoughts about keeping our eyes open to the
signs of the times, to resist deception (testing the spirits), to be
about the Lord's work and prepared for His return parallel our
thoughts. Thanks for your blessing on organizing our reunion
John & Annette.

Dear John:
How are you doing nowadays? …..
Joe, will you be able to come back to the U.S.
West Coast for the reunion, or most likely not? Whatever you decide,
I wish you, Joe, a very pleasant and rewarding year here.

Dear Fellow BCFers,
I want to thank you for the invitation to come to
California for the reunion, but I have many commitments and work to
do here in Italy.
If you have not yet been able to contact Ken
Ogawa, a good friend of his and mine (UCLA graduate) is a lawyer in
Palm Desert, Michael Cosgrove: 760-360-6137 (house phone),
760-340-6665 (office); palmdesertlaw@aol.com
I have had much to do in this period; I finally
found some time to write to you.
I have fond memories of our weekly meetings in
Hedrick Hall at UCLA. I remember the occasional early morning
eruptions of the girls to invite the guys to breakfast. There was
good fellowship.
I have been diligently following the “signs of
the times” for many years now. I have posted a few of the articles
on my main web site:
http://josephdwight.blogspot.com.
I put the references of my most important articles at this web site
as well as updates.
As I wrote to John Jackson last March 24th:
So many today have closed their eyes to THE SIGNS
OF THE TIMES, and have embraced the philosophy of life of “ignorance
is bliss”? “YOU HYPOCRITES! You know how to interpret the
appearance of earth and sky; but why do you not know how to interpret
the present time?” (Lk 12:56; Mt 16:3; 24:51)!
One of my first articles that I wrote more than 7
years ago is:
“Catholic Prophecy Today”
(http://markbeast.blogspot.com).
I was born and raised a roman Catholic, but I
too was searching during my college years; as the years have
passed I have come to realize how important it is to persevere in
seeking the truth, especial in the midst of much confusion today.
Because as we believe, Jesus is “the way, the truth and the life”
(Jn 14:6). Even if one does not know who Jesus is, but is sincerely
seeking the truth, even though he might have to change his life and
suffer for the Truth that he finds along his journey of life, he is
really seeking Jesus even though he has not yet discovered the Truth
in Person, Jesus Christ. If the person is sincere and perseveres, God
will not delude this person in the end, but it will not be easy just
as it was not easy for Jesus on the cross!
It has not been easy for me in seeking the truth
and in persevering to live the truth in a continual journey toward
the Truth Who is Jesus Christ. My brother Pat said that we came from
a dysfunctional family. Visit my article: “The Death of My
Brother”
(http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2012/12/the-death-of-my-brother.html).
Some of you knew that I went to daily Mass at
the UCLA Newman center, a habit I got from my parents, even
though I did not understand fully what the Catholic Mass was; many of
my Catholic friends left the Catholic faith during the college years.
Often one looses the faith due to making compromises with the truth
which leads to more and more spiritual blindness with each
compromise. There was a rather great crisis in the Catholic Church
after the Second Vatican Council in the 60’s. Attending Bible
studies with you, the BCFers, I also began to appreciate my Catholic
Mass more as I realized that at every Mass there is Scripture
readings and a meditation and much more.
I do not think I would be able to share, or at
least explain adequately with you my most important discoveries
or insights after years of following the signs of our times because I
do not think that we will be in agreement about what are the greatest
treasures that Jesus Christ left us here on earth before ascending to
heaven. Thus we would not be in agreement about the most important
targets of Satan to destroy in particular in this period of the
“great tribulation” (Mt 24:21).
Even though I do not think that we will be in
agreement in many things, I will offer you a few of my thoughts
and conclusions and thus predictions of what I believe we will very
soon witness.
Jesus Christ could have founded His Church on
12 perfect angels from heaven, but in His infinite wisdom, He
founded His Church with 12 sinners called apostles. I think this is
one of the fundamental tests that God puts before all of us, to seek
the truth and the “pearl of great price” (Mt 13:46), even though
very often it is covered or surrounded by filth and dirt and
scandals. Peter was not born a saint! At the beginning of his walk
with Jesus, Peter denied Christ three times and did many other things
not very virtuous which are recounted in the Gospels, especially the
Gospel of Mark. But Peter persevered to the end to arrive even to the
Christian maturity of dying for Jesus as Jesus died for us.
Even though there is but one God, one Jesus
Christ and one Bible, there are over 30,000 independent
protestant groups in the USA alone which interpret many verses of the
Bible in different and contradictory ways. Jesus; Who is the Truth
(Jn 14:6) and tells us “The Truth will make you
free!” (Jn 8:32), offers to those of good will who are willing to
seek the truth outside of their own heads, a reliable authority on
earth even though it is made up of sinners like you and me.
When Jesus told us “Truly, truly, I say to you,
unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you
have no life in you” (Jn 6:53), He was not referring to a symbol,
otherwise many of His disciples would not have drawn back and no
longer go about with Him (Jn 6:66). I wonder if this verse number
is a coincidence, 666?
As you know, before the second coming of Jesus
Christ “that day will not come, unless THE REBELLION (APOSTASY)
COMES FIRST, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of
perdition, who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god
or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God,
proclaiming himself to be God” (2Thess 2:3-4). Satan has already
gently drawn a great number into the apostasy of relativism in this
period of the “great tribulation” (Mt 24:21)!
Many Freemasons have infiltrated the Catholic
Church, their main primary target is to destroy the Catholic
Church; I think that this year there will be initiated the greatest
schism in the 2000 year history of the Catholic Church, probably in
October at the Synod on the Family.
“Satan disguises himself as an angel of
light” (2Cor 11:14). Many bishops and priests in the Catholic
Church have been seduced and have forgotten that the Church is the
handmaid of the Truth, not the Author of the Truth. Few people
are praying today, and without prayer, it is impossible to live the
Gospel and the 10 Commandments as God intends. Thus many “traitors”
within the Catholic Church, with great responsibility and full of
pride, offer a Christianity without the cross which will lead to the
perdition of a very great number of souls. This will be done with
beautiful words and slogans, with false mercy, false love, false
ecumenism, misguided compassion, etc.
“Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of
wolves; so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves” (Mt 10:16).
Many are happy to be innocent as doves, but few today are willing to
do the harder part, to be wise as serpents!
The prince of the world, Satan (Jn 12:31;
14:30), spreads many lies (Jn 8:44). The world believes that heaven
(if it exists according to so many relativists today) is automatic.
But the truth is that hell is automatic; to get to heaven one must
truly struggle to discover the uncomfortable Truth on the cross, and
live the Truth, with much prayer!
When Pope Paul VI issued his prophetic encyclical,
“HUMANAE VITAE” (1968), regarding the sinfulness of
contraception, there was an incredible negative reaction not only on
the part of the Catholic laity who wanted to enjoy the pleasures of
sex without any responsibility or openness to life by using
artificial birth control, but even on the part of a great number of
priests and bishops, even entire Episcopal conferences (e.g., the
‘Winnipeg Statement’ of the Canadian Bishops)! BEFORE 1930 ALL
MAINLINE PROTESTANT DENOMINATIONS WERE IN ACCORD WITH THE CATHOLIC
CHURCH that the use of artificial birth control was a grave evil and
a serious sin. When the Anglican Church changed its stance in 1930
(Lambeth Conference) the other protestants churches quickly followed
suit while Pope Pius XI reaffirmed the Church’s constant teaching
on this grave evil in his encyclical Casti Cannubii (1930).
WHEN THE ANGLICAN CHURCH FIRST APPROVED THE USE OF
CONTRACEPTION IN 1930 IT WAS ONLY FOR SERIOUS REASONS and only for
married people who have been generous for life. However, by
providing an opening for contraception, the qualifying phrase “for
serious reason” was quickly ignored. Subsequently the use of
contraception was viewed as virtuous behavior, and even the silent
holocaust of abortion has become a private ethical choice of birth
control. The unborn, unwanted babies no longer have any legal
protection; they are now ripped to pieces after they are brutally
murdered. BABIES DO NOT CHOOSE TO DIE! IS THIS NOT A GOOD EXAMPLE
OF THE SLIPPERY SLOP? The former Hippocratic oath for health
care workers read: “I will administer no abortafacient to a
pregnant woman.” The original Hippocratic oath acknowledged that
abortion was a form of doing violence not only to the child but to
the woman as well. Read also: “CONTRACEPTION:
WHY NOT?”. Janet Smith explains why the Catholic Church keeps
insisting, in the face of the opposite position held by most of the
rest of the modern world, that contraception is one of the worst
inventions of our time.
(http://www.catholiceducation.org/articles/sexuality/se0002.html).
As soon as we do not see life as a precious
gift but only as a convenience to ourselves, our society quickly
sinks into the chaos of hell in the culture of death! When
everything totally crashes and there is great suffering and
confusion, the great majority will wander why! We are so blind to
our fundamental egoism, pride, sloth and lack of charity which causes
the catastrophe! Visit: “Prophecies
of Humanae Vitae”
(http://pop.org/201003231196/prophecies-of-humanae-vitae).
Behold the agenda of the angel
of light who “disguises himself
as an angel of light” (2Cor 11:14)! Step by step – pornography,
artificial birth control, abortion, euthanasia, gay unions – toward
the culture of death! Behold the agenda of the angel of light working
in the Church.
Satan knows very well the
principle of the slippery slope,
slowly. The Gay activists
after the “War Conference” in Warrenton, Virginia
(February 1988), and then the book "After the Ball (1989),
programmed very well how to brainwash and manipulate the American
public to loose the sense of grave sin in the act of homosexuality.
Visit the section: “37. The Astounding Impact of the Ruthless
Manipulation of Militant Gay Activists!” (“Catholic Prophecy
Today”; http://markbeast.blogspot.com).
Over a hundred years ago the homosexual act was considered Sodomy and
it was identified as an act. It still is Sodomy. It was referred to
as the homosexual act. But in the 1960’s it was then conditioned.
The condition of homosexuality was redefined as a condition rather
than an act. It did not change, it was just redefined. What really
happened here was while you can criticize an act and you can even say
it is a criminal act, how do you criticize a condition that someone
suffers with? How can you criticize the act that one commits who has
this regrettable condition! “Can’t you be more compassionate?!?”
AND THEN FROM THE CONDITION WE NOW HAVE AN IDENTITY. We now have the
governments of the richer countries in the world promoting
homosexuality; how easy we forget that the principle sin of Sodom and
Gomorrah was the act of homosexuality, called in the past “sodomy”,
and that “the Lord rained on Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire
…” (Gen 19:24)!
This is not a new technique. In 1970, the
CALIFORNIA MEDICAL JOURNAL released an article how abortion would be
a very lucrative business; it was admitted in the article that indeed
that if this were to be presented to the American population it would
never fly because the American population would never permit the
killing of a child in the womb. It was admitted in the article that
everyone knows that life begins at the moment of conception. So
they had to change the language; they had to change the way in
which people refer to the child in the womb; they had to begin to
depersonalize the child. (“Recycling Wrongs: All Over Again”;
http://lawreview.vermontlaw.edu/articles/v32/3/short.pdf;
http://www.all-creatures.org/murti/pub-thelib-01.html;
http://www.prolifecare.com/holyinnocents/evidence.html).
In order to change those concepts you have to
obfuscate, you have to change terminology, you have to change
language, you have to rationalize, you have to make something
abstract which God makes very clear.
“Positivism” sounds like something nice and
reasonable, to adapt the laws for our new times and needs. But
the incredible deception is that the elected government officials and
the appointed judges apply positivism individually like little
dictators without letting the citizens vote on changing the laws for
our new times and needs. Our founding fathers, having suffered under
tyrannical governments and having seen the folly of the French
Revolution, knew very well that the best constitution in the world
will crumble if the citizens loose their faith and morals.
THE FUNDAMENTAL BATTLE OF
ALL TIMES is who establishes the truth,
God or the world, God or Satan, God or each person? This battle will
increase even more in the next few years before the second coming or
Jesus Christ. Lucifer said, I am God, I decide the Truth, and Saint
Michael the Archangel replied with his name: “Who
is like unto God?” Original Sin was
the same deception: “But the serpent said to the woman, "You
will not die. For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be
opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil".”
Many modern philosophers led us into the “COPERNICAN REVOLUTION”
of not seeking anymore reality and the truth outside of ourselves by
way of our five senses but inside of ourselves, as if each one of us
“will be like God”. “Abandoning the investigation of being,
modern philosophical research has concentrated instead upon human
knowing. …” (No. 5; Encyclical Letter: Fides et Ratio; John Paul
II; 09-14-1998). In this fierce and underhanded battle, it is very
important to be “wise as serpents” and not just “innocent
as doves” (Mt 10:16)!

Truth?”

On “The World Over April 9, 2010: George Weigel
& Frank Cottrell Boyce”
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NUgaRrHj8k),
George Weigel said: “Christianity, and specifically the Catholic
Church, is the last obstacle still standing on the chess board
to a sweep of the board by the forces of what Pope Benedict called
the dictatorship of relativism. The marriage question is engaged
here, life issues are engaged here. This is all of a piece…”
I wrote in the introduction of
my article “The FALSE POPE - Saint
Hildegard” (March 2013, after the resignation of Pope Benedict;
http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2013/02/resignation-of-pope-benedict.html):
“The Pope, has been so ignored, disobeyed and
despised in the last 50 years not only by the left side of the
spectrum (ignore or disobey) but also by the right side of the
spectrum (prideful rebellion). I think that this vacancy (while a
“Judas Iscariot” will be in control of the Vatican) will be a
great just punishment not only for the whole Church but for the whole
world. The world which is intrinsically connected with all of
creation, goes forward or backward depending on the behavior and
choices of those who have received much more responsibility from God
in this “cosmic battle” (as Pope John Paul II put it), the lay
Catholics, the priests and the bishops of the One True Church, the
Catholic Church! Pope Paul VI was so devastated by the reaction to
Humanae Vitae that he said, referring to the situation in the Church,
“FROM SOME CREVICE, THE SMOKE OF SATAN HAS ENTERED THE TEMPLE OF
GOD” (June 29, 1972); Pope Paul VI did not write another encyclical
after Humanae Vitae (1968)!
Several months after I
published this article, I discovered
for the first time the “Prophecy of Saint Francis” of Assisi
(http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2013/11/prophecy-st-francis.html):
2. The power of the demons will be greater than
usual, the immaculate purity of our religious community and of
others, will withered to the point that very few Christians will
want to obey the true Sovereign Pontiff and the Roman Church with
a sincere heart and perfect charity. At the decisive moment of this
crisis, a personage not canonically elected, raised to the
Pontificate, will endeavor to administer shrewdly to many the
mortal poison of his error.
7. Some preachers will keep silent about the truth
and, denying the truth, they will trample upon the truth. The
sanctity of life will be held in derision by those who only profess
it outwardly, and for this reason Our Lord Jesus Christ will send
them not a worthy Pastor, but a destroyer.
THE SITUATION TODAY IS SIMILAR TO CHILDREN WITH
PARENTS WHO DO NOT PRAY and have nothing to do with God, but even
so, the children must save themselves. But at the same time they must
maintain humility and thus respect for their parents, which is not
easy. If the children do not do this, they end up doing as so many
other youth today who rebel against their parents and all authority,
as in the French Revolution, and they end up worse. In the past the
rebellious children left the house of their parents, and afterwards,
some of them discovered how difficult it is to maintain a house and
they matured even to the point of having gratitude for their parents
and for God Who gave them everything they have.
In a real sense, the protestant reformers threw
out their parents over 400 years ago, and thus they deprived
their followers of the guidance of the one true Church, as well as
the very powerful sources of grace from the sacraments, in
particular, the Holy Eucharist and the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
But at least the protestants of 400 years ago left the Catholic
Church. The protestants in the Catholic Church in the last 60 or 70
years have changed their strategy, guided by the “father of lies”
(Jn 8:44) so as to take over the Catholic Church and change the
doctrines of the Catholic Church so as to offer a Christianity
without the cross which does not lead to heaven where there dwells
the eternal Truth!
In the last decades, the rebellious children in
the Catholic Church have thrown out the parents; that is they
have sought to subvert and take over the Catholic Church from within,
similar to the more dangerous development of communism (socialism)
beginning with Antonio Gramsci, as we see now in full bloom in the
USA under the Obama administration. With the help of the puppets of
the prince of the world, Satan, in particular the many groups under
the Freemasons, these puppets of Satan have taken control of the
motors of the culture – the mass media, the schools, the religious
institutions – in order to brainwash the societies in the direction
of socialism, secularism, relativism, in other words, “the culture
of death”.
Read “The Masonic Plan For
The Destruction Of The Catholic Church”
(http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2013/11/masonic-plan.html).
The devil plays the same game of distractions,
of diversion regarding the Church, disseminating slander and
lies; he shows us only the sinners in the Church and in the history
of the Church – the scandals of some priests, the false
presentation of the crusades – so that the people do not arrive at
the content, that is, God has given us a guide, a Church made up of
sinners, not by perfect angels from heaven, as the critics believe to
be! One of the fundamental trials for each one of us is to seek out
and find the pearl of great price (Mt 13:46), the “hidden treasure”
(Mt 13:44) inside the Church, not withstanding all the filth around
that pearl, that treasure, that diamond inside the box often covered
with the excrements of the sinners and of the scandals! The sects and
many protestants believe to be better, more perfect, and thus have
refused the true Church and have lost the fullness of the means of
sanctification, the sacraments and especially the Eucharist, and the
fullness of the truth with the guidance of the Magisterium of the
Church made up of fragile and weak men, but guided and protected by
the Holy Spirit until the end of time (Mt 16:18). One of the
strongest proofs that the Catholic Church is the true Church is
precisely this, that notwithstanding all the negative things
outside and inside the Church, she is still here on the earth after
2000 years, with the Truth that does not change! How else could Jesus
assure us that “the Truth shall set you free” (Jn 8:32), or “I
am the Truth” (Jn 14:6)?!? It is very important to study the true
history! Only God could do this miracle. When Napoleon Bonaparte said
to a cardinal that he will destroy the Church, the cardinal
responded: “If we bishops have not succeeded in destroying the
Church in 1900 years, how do you think you can do it?” The Mass is
valid even if the priest is a great sinner and in the state of mortal
sin. But the people, again, look at the exterior, and many do not go
to the Mass of that priest, even though in that Mass the bread and
wine become the Body and the Blood of Jesus Christ, while the poor
priest, not repentant, commits a personal sacrilege! When Saint
Francis of Assisi met a scandalous priest, he did not reprimand that
priest as the people expected, but he knelt down before that poor
priest, kissed his hands, and said to the people around him that from
these hands I receive my Lord in the Eucharist and the pardon of my
sins”! After this, that poor priest sent away the women in his
house and converted with much penance.
Dear fellow BCFers, I truly believe we have
arrived to these prophecies! I asked a couple of priests in my
diocese recently what would they do if Pope Francis approves
everything that Cardinal Kasper says? If it will be approved
officially, that is by the pope, in October of this year, what
Cardinal Kasper promotes, that is to be able to have sex outside of
marriage without any obligation to do or live what we as Catholics
say in the “Act of Contrition”: “I promise with the help of Thy
grace to sin no more and to avoid the near occasions of sin”, then
we have arrived to these prophecies! In the last two years, under the
reign of Pope Francis, many bishops, cardinals and priests, who want
to change the 10 Commandments to please the people, a Christianity
without the cross, have been promoted by Pope Francis, and those
bishops who say that you cannot change the 10 Commandments and must
take up your cross with Christ were sent away by Pope Francis!
A book that five of these loyal cardinals to the immutable Truth,
which explained that you cannot change the Truth, because the Truth
is God (“Remaining in the Truth of Christ”) was not allowed into
the preparation for the Synod on the Family last October 2014
(http://wdtprs.com/blog/2014/10/action-item-book-from-5-cardinals-in-defense-of-marriage-and-tradition/;
http://wdtprs.com/blog/2015/02/five-cardinals-book-stolen-from-participants-mailboxes-at-last-years-synod-on-family/;
http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/cardinal-burke-media-hijacking-synod-on-the-family-79760/;
https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/synods-chief-organizer-blocked-book-by-top-cardinals-defending-churchs-marr).
If this changing of the laws of God is approved
officially in October of this year in the Catholic Church, then
we have arrived to the great prophecies of Mt 24, Lk 21, Mk 13, Rev
13, Dan 12, Ezek (etc.) and of many saints, that is, the
manifestation of the false prophet, the second beast, the false pope,
which will be the precursor of the first beast, the Antichrist!
The Servant of God, ARCHBISHOP
FULTON SHEEN, a famous Catholic preacher on TV 60-70 years ago in the
USA, said: “The False Prophet 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. Christ’s Church will be one.
And the False Prophet will create the other. The false church will be
worldly, ecumenical (false), and global. It will be a loose
federation of churches, religions forming some type of global
association, a world parliament of churches. It will be emptied of
all divine content and will be the mystical body of the antichrist.
The Mystical Body on earth today will have its Judas Iscariot and he
will be the false prophet. SATAN WILL
RECRUIT HIM FROM AMONG OUR BISHOPS.”
If it is accepted that a group of bishops can
change, by way of voting, a doctrine of the Church, a Commandment of
God, there is made a fundamental change in which one then
believes that the law or the truth is no longer established by God
but by men. At that point the door is opened to change any other
commandment and then afterwards the sacraments so as to render them
invalid and thus void of grace. Satan has worked very hard in the
last several centuries, and in particular in the last 50 years, to
prepare the people, especially Christians, to enter into relativism
which puts man as the arbiter of Truth, as I wrote about in my
article “Who Decides The Truth?”
(http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2014/06/who-decides-truth.html).
This is the slippery slope which we saw in 1930 regarding
contraception, but this time there will be no “obstacle
still standing on the chess board” of the world to stop the forces
of “the dictatorship of relativism”!
A similar fundamental change of who decides the
truth happened in the Church of England’s General Synod in 1992
(https://ordinariateportal.wordpress.com/2010/11/23/fr-peter-geldard-journey-home/).
If
you might be interested in understanding a little more how Satan
viciously, but underhandedly and in a very hidden way, attacks and
seeks to destroy the Catholic Mass
within the Catholic Church, you might visit my article: “The
Neocatecumenal Mass”
(http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2015/02/the-neocatecumenal-mass.html).
I believe, as many other
Christians do also, that the Body of Christ, the
Church, will pass through in a similar way the stages of life that
Christ passed through. I believe that
we are already in the passion of Christ; very soon we, the Church,
will be on the cross and the few loyal Christians remaining in this
period will cry out with Jesus on the Cross: “My God, my God, why
have You forsaken Me?” (Mt 27:46; Mk 15:34; Rev 13:7; Ps
22:1).
It was interesting that Pope Benedict XVI invited
CARDINAL BIFFI TO OFFER THE ANNUAL LENTEN RETREAT FOR THE POPE and
the top members of the Vatican (Feb. 27, 2007). The cardinal speaks
often on the theme of the Antichrist. The Times of London reported in
2004 that the Cardinal described the Antichrist as “walking among
us”. “Days will come in Christianity in which
they will try to reduce the salvific event to a mere series of
values.” It is a key passage in the last work of Vladimir
Soloviev, “Tale of the Antichrist”, at
the center of Cardinal Giacomo Biffi’s
reflections. The Russian philosopher, who died in the year 1900 with
great acumen, had prophesied the tragedies of the 20th
century. In the “Tale of the Antichrist”, recalled the cardinal,
“THE ANTICHRIST PRESENTS HIMSELF AS PACIFIST,
ECOLOGIST AND ECUMENIST. He will convoke an
ecumenical council and will seek the consensus of all the Christian
confessions, granting something to each one. The masses will follow
him, with the exception of small groups of Catholics, Orthodox and
Protestants who will resist and will say to the Antichrist: ‘You
give us everything, except what interests us, Jesus Christ’.”
For Cardinal Biffi, this narrative is a
warning: “Today, in fact, we run the risk
of having a Christianity which puts aside Jesus with his cross and
resurrection.”
The false prophet, the false pope, will seek to
form a One World Religion, by way of false ecumenism which will
result in the reductionism to the lowest common denominator,
forfeiting our most precious means of sanctification and the fullness
of truth in the name of “love” and “mercy” and “ecumenism”!?!
Precisely now, more than every before, the world needs these “means
of sanctification”, found in the Church founded by Jesus Christ,
and the guidance of the infallible Magisterium of the Church! The
Truth, Who is Jesus (Jn 14:6), does not change with the world or with
the times! Pope Francis is seeking to lead many protestant pastors
toward Rome, through some type of “ecumenism”, such as Pastor
Kenneth Copeland, Pastor Tony Palmer, and many other important
protestant pastors. True and proper ecumenism respects the beliefs of
each religion without asking or covertly manipulating any religious
group to put aside any of their beliefs. False ecumenism leads us to
the reduction to the lowest common denominator of all the religions,
to forfeit our spiritual defenses and weapons against the forces of
evil. In the name of (false) love, in the name of (false) mercy, in
the name of (false) ecumenism, the Catholics are lead to be deprived
of their greatest treasures of grace and truth, which are precisely
the most powerful means of salvation for us, for the others and, in
effect, for the whole world! In this way one goes ever more toward
mediocrity seeking to receive and to please everyone, with
compromises after compromises, to the point of loosing just about all
the true values of Jesus Christ as well as the authentic sources of
grace through Jesus Christ. The founder of Christendom College (USA),
Dr. Warren Carroll, wrote that ecumenism is important but properly
understood is “not an ecumenism in which you would abandon
convictions in truth which would be superficial and meaningless
agreements, but developing an ecumenism built solidly on real
conviction and truth.”
Dear BCFers, be aware of the false prophet!
We are in the times of the greatest confusion in the history of the
world, because the “father of lies” (Jn 8:44) has great power due
to less prayer than ever before and more sins and indifference than
ever before in the history of the world. Before the New World Order
is manifested openly the One World Religion must be prepared and
ready. The first beast, the Antichrist, will be a political leader as
the head of the New World Order, while the second beast, the false
prophet will be the head of the One World Religion. Man, by nature,
has need of religion, and thus Satan does not seek to destroy
religion but will offer a false religion that leads to the worship of
Satan through the Antichrist (Rev 13). The prince of the world, Satan
(Jn 12:31; 14:30), has always attacked the Catholic Church, and thus
the mass media has always attacked, in a underhanded sly way the
Church. Have you ever wondered why in the last two years, for the
first time ever, that one of the main idols, if not the most
important idol, of the mass media is Pope Francis?!?
RELATIVISM, according to Pope
Benedict XVI, is "the most profound difficulty of our time."
In his homily at the Mass
preceding the conclave that quickly elected him Pope Benedict XVI,
then Cardinal Ratzinger said: “Today, having a clear faith based on
the Creed of the Church is often labeled
as fundamentalism. Whereas relativism,
that is, letting oneself be "tossed here and there, carried
about by every wind of doctrine", seems the only attitude that
can cope with modern times. WE ARE BUILDING A DICTATORSHIP OF
RELATIVISM that does not recognize anything as definitive and whose
ultimate goal consists solely of one's own ego and desires.”

Cardinal Ivan Dias
at Lourdes cited Pope John Paul II: “We are standing before today
the greatest fight that humanity has ever seen. I do not believe that
the Christian community has totally understood this. We are today
before the FINAL CONFRONTATION
between the Church and the anti-Church, between the Gospel and the
anti-Gospel”. But it is the woman “of genesis and of the
apocalypse” (Rev 12), concludes the Cardinal, “that will combat
at the head of the army of her sons and daughters against the enemy
forces of Satan and will crush the head of the serpent.” (Gen
3,15)” (December 13, 2007).

You probably have never heard
about or perhaps are not interested but a great saint of the youth in
Turin, Italy, St. John Bosco, had a
dream, for our times, of a ship
in a great storm at sea, attacked on all sides by boats, and the man
in white at the helm (which I believe represents both Pope John Paul
II and Pope Benedict) directed the course of the ship between two
pillars, at the top of which was the Eucharist and Mary.
“Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and
become like children, you will never enter the Kingdom of heaven”
(Mt 18:3). How can we become as a child, full of trust and humility,
if we do not have a spiritual mother? Jesus gave us Mary as our
mother when He said from the cross: “Woman, behold, your son! Then
he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” (Jn 19:26-27).
How can we become spiritual children without a spiritual mother?
It requires humility not to impose our human
intelligence and wisdom on the plan of God (Mt 11:25; Lk 10:21).
The only time in the four Gospels that Jesus told us to learn from
Him was when He said: “Learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in
heart” (Mt 11:29). Satan will be much more humiliated by having his
head crushed by a woman (Gen 3:15) than by God Himself. If you might
be interested in understanding this better, you might read some of
the writings of St. Louis de Montfort
(http://www.catholictradition.org/).
Montfort explains in detail how God in His infinite wisdom, Who could
have redeemed the world in anyway, chose to send His only Son into
the world by way of a woman: The entire universe cannot contain God
and yet the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity chose to be
contained in the womb of Mary! Who is more intelligent and wise, God
or us? Montfort explains in his classic prophetical book, “True
Devotion to Mary”, that just as Jesus came into the world through
Mary, so too His mother Mary will prepare for His triumphal and
glorious return in His second coming.
SAINT PADRE PIO (died: Sept.
23, 1968) said: "It would be easier for the world to survive
without the sun than to do so without the HOLY
MASS." This saint also said: “The
ROSARY is
the weapon for these times”! The Rosary is meditating on the
Gospel, the life of Jesus, from the eyes of Mary His mother.
I know I have written too much, especially
to you who are not familiar with Catholic tradition, but you can
easily delete what you will. A great number of Catholics today
believe they are Catholic but have very little idea what it means to
be Catholic according to the authentic teachings of the Catholic
Church. In true ecumenical dialogue, both sides listen to each other
with love and respect for their traditions. But at least if you hear
about a schism in the Catholic Church beginning in October of this
year, you might have an idea about what is going on, and perhaps
understand the extreme gravity of the situation! The great majority
of bishops, priests and lay people in the Catholic Church will follow
the highly promoted apostasy which will be presented as merciful and
true and good by the mass media, schools and religious institutions!
The main goal of Satan, and thus the Freemasons, is not world
domination or a dictatorship (although this will follow), but to lead
as many souls as possible into the eternal dwelling of Satan. Thus
the first target is the Body of Christ, the Church, which has the
most powerful weapons to fight and to defeat Satan.
I can tell you my friends that it will be very
difficult in this period to not enter into the apostasy (2Thess
2:3-4). The Beast will be able to perform “great signs and wonders,
so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect” (Mt
24:24; Mk 13,22; Rev 13:8; 19:20)! "God shall send them
strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: that they all might
be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in
unrighteousness." (2Thess 2:11-12). “I heard, but I did not
understand. Then I said, “O my lord, what shall be the issue of
these things?” He said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are
shut up and sealed until the time of the end. Many shall purify
themselves, and make themselves white, and be refined; but the wicked
shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand; but those
who are wise shall understand.” (Dan 12:8-10).
Just as Satan, in his great pride,
believed he had defeated Jesus Christ 2000 years ago at the death
of Jesus on the cross, so too we will arrive to the point in this
period that Satan again will believe to have destroyed the Body of
Christ, which includes Jesus as the Head! At that point the Woman
will crush the head of the serpent in a definitive way (Gen 3:15; Rev
12), and there will be fulfilled what this Woman prophesied at Fatima
in 1917 just before the great miracle of the sun on October 13, 1917:
“In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph and the world will be
granted a time of peace”! As they say: no pain, no gain. For the
Church as a whole, the Body of Christ, as well as for each one of us
individually, there will be no Easter without Good Friday, no
resurrection without the crucifixion! Those who do not willingly
embrace the sufferings that God sends to each of us in our lives,
with patience and love and even gratitude, seeking to discover and
live God’s holy will, with lots of prayer, will not arrive to the
resurrection of the just!
I truly believe that if we see
this apostasy from the faith approved officially by “Pope Francis”
in October 2015, the few who remain faithful to the Truth, which
cannot change, will be greatly persecuted, and then shortly
afterwards things will quickly
precipitate in the whole world.
If someone might be
interested in knowing more about the Catholic faith,
as well as listening to many Protestant pastors who made the journey
home to the Catholic Church, you might visit: www.EWTN.com
as well as “The Journey Home” on the Ewtn YouTube website. Truly
the greatest gift I could possible offer to you is to lead you to
what I have come to more and more understand, believe, appreciate and
adore – the Real Presence of Jesus in Person, substantially present
in the Holy Eucharist at Mass which I celebrate everyday as a priest
of the Catholic Church. Unfortunately today, many priests and bishops
have lost their faith but have remained in the Church for other
worldly motives. It is interesting how often in the Gospel we read
about demonic possession, but today we hear very little about this.
Today many Catholic priests and bishops do not even believe that the
devil exists
(http://www.preghiereagesuemaria.it/sala/intervista%20a%20padre%20amorth.htm)!
You might find interesting an exorcism of a woman in Switzerland
about 40 years ago; she was possessed by several devils, among which
a damned priest who died in France more than 300 years ago
(http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2013/12/damned-priest.html)!
This damned priest, in the name of Jesus Christ, was forced to reveal
why he, a Catholic priest, ended up in hell for all eternity! A
shorter article of many excerpts of many exorcisms can be found in
the article: “Likes and Dislikes of the
Devil”
(http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2014/01/likes-and-dislikes-of-devil.html).
We cannot image the heights to
which God can bring a soul if the soul is willing to seek the Truth
and live the Truth with much prayer, following Jesus to Calvary
with Mary at the foot of the cross! After death, there are only two
places for all eternity: extreme joy or extreme pain; full union with
God in heaven, or total separation from God for all eternity. Since
God has created us with great dignity, at the level of the angels,
there is no middle ground for the mediocre. Even if we live as
animals without responsibility and convince ourselves that hell or
life after death does not exist, whether we like it or not or believe
it or not, we will be judged as human beings made in the image of God
Himself (Gen 1:26-27)! God, Who is love, respects our free choice to
seek and live the uncomfortable Truth on the cross, or to avoid the
Truth, and thus believe and follow “the father of lies” (Jn
8:44). God does not send anyone to hell; those who did not want the
Truth of God, who made up the truth as if they were God (as Adam and
Eve did – Gen 3:4-5) in this short life, cannot tolerate to be with
the absolute Truth in heaven for all eternity – they willingly
throw themselves into hell for all eternity. This definitive and
eternal separation from the Creator at death is more painful than all
the other pains combined!
Please forgive me for writing too
much, but it is easy to delete digital emails!
Please pray for me as I will for you so as to
persevere in the most difficult period of tribulation, even to
martyrdom, so that we might meet together for all eternity with
the Eternal Truth in heaven!
Rev. Joe Dwight
