Do we know that to be impossible? Prayed for discernment and believe she is the End Times prophet. God Bless. But Jesus specifically told us NOT to listen to people like her, who claim to know that the end times are near. How did St. Irenaeus put it? It saddens me to think that Maria believes she knows more than the Son and that, rather than paying attention to Sacred Scripture and Holy Mother Church, most recently through the recently retired Benedict XVI, people will swallow and even digest her Malachian prophecies.
God save us! Andiamo avanti pieno di coraggio e amore in Cristo, PH. Jack Chick was right! I suggest reading end times prophecy of St. Francis of Assisi. What should we think of this?

Many people have been talking about a woman who calls herself "Maria Divine Mercy.
She also claims that he will be the last pope on earth, that the next pope to be elected will be the false prophet, and that the Second Coming is about to occur. According to her web site , she is "a Roman Catholic married mother of a young family living in Europe [and] says she has been receiving from the Holy Trinity as well as by the Virgin Mary. She writes anonymous, stating, "The woman wishes to be known by the name Maria Divine Mercy and says that it is the wish of Jesus that she remains anonymous to protect her family and to avoid any distraction from the messages.
Over have been received. In a YouTube interview , she claims to have been a business woman and speaks with what appears to be an Irish accent. She claims a rather startling role:. Maria says the messages are also being given to help prepare the world for the Second Coming of Christ which will follow The Warning. Maria was told by Jesus that she is the 7th Messenger, the 7th Angel sent to reveal to the world the contents of the Seals in the Book of Revelation which can only be opened by the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ.
He will open the Seals and reveal, in advance, the contents. Maria has to publish them as each Seal is opened. He has told her she is the end time prophet. Her FaceBook page-- Jesus to Mankind --presently has more than 17, "Likes," which is quite a substantial number.
She also promotes her message through a web site-- www. She is apparently popular enough that there are knockoff web sites also repeating her messages. Her own web site contains a warning against the knockoffs. We're fortunate that she's associated dates with them e. That provides a short shelf-life for her prophecies. When they are proved false she will have the option of walking away from them having conveniently kept her identity secret or re-jiggering and re-interpreting them.
First, her main claim to fame is having allegedly predicted Pope Benedict's resignation from the papacy. She said that he would be forced out of office by a plot against him hatched in the Vatican. That might have seemed reasonable back when her "prophecies" were first being given, what with the VatiLeaks scandal of or the German and Irish paedophilia scandals before that, but it's not what happened. He wasn't "ousted" due to a plot. He freely resigned due to health reasons.
Here's what Pope Benedict actually said :. I have come to the certainty that my strengths, due to an advanced age , are no longer suited to an adequate exercise of the Petrine ministry. I am well aware that this ministry, due to its essential spiritual nature, must be carried out not only with words and deeds, but no less with prayer and suffering.
For this reason , and well aware of the seriousness of this act, with full freedom I declare that I renounce the ministry of Bishop of Rome, Successor of Saint Peter.
Although he is described in the messages by Jesus as "My innocent, beloved last Pope on earth, Benedict XVI" source , he would have been lying in the very act of renouncing the papacy if he did not do so "with full freedom" and for age-related reasons but rather under coercision and because of a plot. Her further predictions--regarding St. Peter reigning at first in heaven and then on earth during the Millennium, the Warning, the next pope being the false prophet, a coming world religion, before the Second Coming and an earthly Millennium before the end of the world--are a mishmash of other visionaries' material combined with Premillennial Protestant ideas a form of what has historically been called " milleniarianism ".
The latter ideas, in particular, have been rejected by the Catholic Church. The Catechism states:. The Antichrist's deception already begins to take shape in the world every time the claim is made to realize within history that messianic hope which can only be realized beyond history through the eschatological judgement.
The Church has rejected even modified forms of this falsification of the kingdom to come under the name of millenarianism [CCC ]. She is an anonymous, unapproved seer whose prophecies contain material that is both demonstrably false and contrary to Catholic teaching regarding the future.
Furthermore, to adhere to her prophecies can result in the grave sin and canonical crime of schism. If, as soon as a new pope is elected, one were to regard him--as Maria Divine Mercy would have us regard him--as a false pope and the False Prophet, one would be in a state of schism. This would have grave consequences for an individual, both spiritually and canonically, including possible automatic latae sententiae excommunication, since:.
Which includes, among other things the inability to receive the sacraments until one repents of the schism and is restored to communion with the Church. Under no circumstances should a Catholic become involved with or give any credence to the "messages" of Maria Divine Mercy. May she herself find the grace to repudiate them, take them down, and alert her followers of their falseness.
