The Church of Darkness
THE EDITOR
Then I saw an apparition of the Mother of God, and she said that the tribulation would be very great…They must pray above all for the Church of Darkness to leave Rome. |
- Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich, 25 August 1820 |
Through some crack, the smoke of Satan has entered the temple of God. |
-Pope Paul VI, 29 June 1972 |
Today Satan rules the world. The masses no longer believe in God. And, yes, Satan is in the Vatican. |
- Father Amorth, 5 April 2016 |
Father Gabriele Amorth, the renowned exorcist of the diocese of Rome, died on 16 September 2016, aged 91. After a long lifetime of hand to hand combat with the devil and his minions, he was in a good position to make credible claims about Satan's occupation of Rome: initially voiced over 16 years ago, again in 2010, and repeated above in the final months of his life.
It was during a June 2001 interview with Stefano Maria Paci of 30 Days magazine, an Italian monthly, that Fr. Amorth first spoke of "legions of demons that have installed themselves in the Vatican." Incredulous, Paci asked, "You are joking, aren't you?" To which the exorcist shot back: "It may seem like a joke, but I do not believe it is. I have no doubt about the fact that the demon especially tempts the authorities of the Church, just as he tempts every authority, those in politics and industry."
At that time, against those who said he had gone too far — who dismissed his charge as baseless in fact — Fr Amorth admitted it was hard to prove. Even so, the consequences of the devil's work were evident, he argued, citing tell-tale signs such as cardinals who don't believe in Jesus, and bishops who are linked with the devil.
Nine years later, the Church having gone from bad to worse, he elaborated upon his earlier accusation in his Italian memoires — Memorie di un esorcista, Edizione Piemmi, 2010—a collection of interviews with Marco Tossati. He did not hesitate to denounce Black Masses conducted in the heart of the Vatican, and the sexual orgies which ensued, involving cardinals. The following are my translated extracts from Confessions, the French edition of the memoires(Éditions, Michelle Lafon, 2010):
You say that some sects are dangerous, but others are much more formidable.
Indeed some must be taken very seriously. And unfortunately they are everywhere. Even in the Vatican, one finds members of satanic sects.
But who is involved? Priests or simple laymen?
It involves priests, bishops and even cardinals! I have it from persons who have been able to report it to me for the good reason that they have the opportunity to observe it directly. And it's a truth which has been "confessed" to me many times by the demon himself, because I forced him to do so during the exorcisms...
The pope is informed?
You bet he is informed! But he does what he can... It is a terrible subject. That said, do not forget that Benedict XVI is a German pope. He comes from a country that firmly refuses to believe these things... In Germany, you see, there's hardly any exorcists ... However, the pope himself believes in it. I had three opportunities to speak to him, when he was still Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. He believes in it! He has even addressed the subject publicly, many times. He received us, the Association of Exorcists [in October 2005]. He delivered a beautiful speech to praise and encourage our priesthood. And let us not forget that John Paul II had spoken much about the devil and exorcism...
So, what Paul VI said is true: the smoke of Satan has well and truly entered into the Church.
Alas, it's the truth. Even in the Church there are followers of satanic sects. This particular allusion to the "smoke of Satan," Paul VI made on 29 June 1972. It provoked a huge scandal. So that the same year, on 15 November, he devoted an entire Wednesday discourse to the demon, using very strong sentences. But this address had no practical consequence. Certainly, the silence was broken, the veil of censorship was lifted, that had lasted too long. But there was no practical consequence. I personally — who have no weight, who am nothing — had to sound the alarm for there to be practical consequences. ...
Fr. Amorth also pointed to other diabolic indicators, especially clerical sexual abuse, perhaps the most telling indicator of all. Since those hellish crimes have been shown to be overwhelmingly sodomitic, involving the abuse of male adolescents by homosexual priests and religious, Satan's stamp is all over them. One recalls Our Lord's dialogue with St. Catherine of Sienna in which He told her that even Satan reacts to the stench of sodomy; leaving the scene in disgust once satisfied that the foul deed has been accomplished. How much more satisfying to entice priests of Jesus Christ to perpetrate the unspeakable act on innocent souls.
Also cited by Fr. Amorth was the notorious murder by a homosexual Swiss guard of his commander (his lover) and the commander's wife, which took place within the Vatican walls on 4 May 1998. But the "smoke of Satan" was at work long before that, he noted, pointing to the case of Italian schoolgirl Emanuela Orlandi, who went missing in Rome in 1983.Fr. Amorth claimed she was kidnapped for sex parties by a gang involving Vatican police and foreign diplomats, and later murdered and her body disposed of. In that regard, he claimed that girls were recruited at the Vatican for parties and added that Orlandi's death "was a crime with a sexual motive."[The Telegraph, 22/5/12].
"Think about all those priests who have muddied their vestments by sexually abusing minors," he said. "These acts are demonic. Can a girl disappear from somewhere so close to the Vatican? Sadly, yes." The late Monsignor Simeone Duca, former head of the Vatican Archives, concurred with Fr. Amorth's assessment of Orlandi's disappearance. [See Aug/Sept 2012 Editorial]
With homosexual activity in the Vatican now out of control under this pontificate (it has "never been worse" say Vatican sources tapped by journalist Edward Pentin), Fr. Amorth continues to be vindicated. Among the orgiastic scandals we know about (those the Bergoglian curia has been unable to cloak), the August 2017 escapade on the Pope's doorstep takes some beating.
During that month, just a stone's throw from Casa Santa Marta, in a luxurious apartment within the palatial building occupied by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith no less, Monsignor Luigi "Cocaine" Capozzi held a raging, drug-fuelled homosexual orgy. A senior official at the Pontifical Council of Legislative Texts and protégé of Cardinal Coccopalmerio (president of that Council and a member of the Pope's inner circle), Capozzi and other participants were caught in flagrante by the Vatican gendarmerie.
The usual cover-up ensued. Refusing to release details of the raid and its findings, Bergoglio's crew took a few nonchalant weeks before they even bothered to remove Capozzi's photograph from the website of the Pontifical Council of Legislative Texts. He also remained a full member of the Council until, at length and surreptitiously, he was removed, which action effectively confirmed reports of the orgy.
Yet still the Vatican was not forthcoming. No information was given about what transpired on the night (whether bishops, cardinals and underage males were involved, for starters). To this day, the Catholic faithful have not been told why Capozzi was not handed over to Italian authorities for prosecution, or whether the Vatican intends to laicise him for his crimes and prosecute him for possession and distribution of cocaine — for which offence, under Article 42 of its vaunted "Criminal Code," he should receive a jail sentence of no less than six years.
Once again, this mafia-like omerta shows up the Pope's boast of his "openness and availability" through "dialogue, dialogue, dialogue" as a cynical ploy. Far from transparency, the refusal even to acknowledge what has been established — that Capozzi is an active sodomite and drug taker/dealer, and that orgies take place in Vatican City — speaks to the heightened power and reach of a homosexual network that Francis flagrantly coddles; as flagged at the very outset of his papacy by his personal protection and curial promotion of Monsignor Ricca, a notorious sodomite, and repeatedly confirmed by his words and actions ever since.
In the 30 September 2017 edition of The Remnant, Elizabeth Yore posed to Rome nearly three dozen "highly relevant and critical questions" about the Capozzi scandal which any "typical police investigation" would ask. An international child protection attorney for 30 years, she would know. "Will anyone answer the questions about the Capozzi caper?" she asks. "Is there a brave and courageous soldier of Christ in the Vatican willing to speak up and document the increasing infestation of corruption and sexual immorality in the Bergoglian papal administration?" She truly states that
Catholics are insulted and betrayed by the silence and cover-up by Bergoglio of the Capozzi orgy. This scandal reveals the character of Jorge Bergoglio.... It should not be surprising that the man selected as Pope, by the self-described St. Gallen Mafia, operates like a mafia don issuing an omerta, when his young turks are caught scandalising Holy Mother Church.
The ramifications could not be more grave. "If this level of illegality and immorality exists in the heart of the Vatican, among key clerics," explains Yore, drawing on her experience of clerical abuse investigations, "it endangers the Holy See, [exposing it] to blackmail, extortion, financial fraud and corruption."
And yet Francis and his minions not only tolerate but effectively facilitate those possibilities. Their self-destructive sins of commission and omission could not speak more loudly or powerfully to Fr. Amorth's claim that "legions of demons have installed themselves in the Vatican." Unclean spirits who not only encourage pederastic and paedophilic clergy and prelates but doubtless, in some cases, satanic practices not uncommonly associated with such men.
True, there is no photographic evidence of this activity within Vatican City. But Fr. Amorth once pointed out to Italian journalist Paolo Rodari that many attend a Black Mass precisely for the sexual free-for-all that follows, speaking bluntly of a "true whorehouse." And since the Capozzi free-for-all is just the tip of an orgiastic iceberg (— no doubt detailed in that thick homosexual dossier Benedict handed to Francis), the Amorth charge becomes more troubling by the year.
I realise that this is not the most cheery subject to introduce the new year! Yet as we enter 2018 with nervous trepidation, fearing even worse Bergoglian 'surprises' to come, I wish to refocus our attention: to recall that all the doctrinal, moral and socio-political aberrations we have endured since 2013 are mere papal symptoms of the underlying cause famously flagged by Paul VI, whose celebrated reference to "the smoke of Satan" is not simply a poetic allusion but an expression of the terrible reality.
In other words, to maintain a dominant spiritual perspective before the secular onslaught now turbo-charged by Pope Francis, which threatens to overwhelm us, we occasionally need a bracing reminder of the personal and malign force who currently has the vital organs of the Body of Christ in his grip. So decisively, in fact, that we seem to have reached the zenith of that period of time and power Christ extended to Satan to do his worst against the Church.
As revealed to Leo XIII during his vision in 1884, Satan boldly requested "75 to 100 years, and a greater power over those who will give themselves over to my service." Our Lord replied: "You have the time, you will have the power. Do with them what you will."
Shaken to the core after hearing this exchange, Pope Leo immediately composed the Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel, and decreed that it be said after every low Mass. If the suppression of that practice by the Sacred Congregation of Rites 80 years later appeared to show Satan gaining the upper hand in the challenge offered him by God, this pontificate and its cliques and claques confirm as never before his "power" over faithless, perverted and/or comprised ecclesiastics.
Indeed, it is this rank treachery of the shepherds that trumpets both the truth of Fr. Amorth's claims, and the diabolic nature of Rome's darkened visage. Namely, that FrancisChurch — an ape of the Catholic Church — is little more than a devilish façade attesting to the truth of Ephesians 6:12, that "our wrestling is not against flesh and blood; but against... the rulers of the world of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places." [Eph. 6:12]
Fr. Amorth knew this from his daily contact with demons. For others, the "spirits of wickedness" behind our material strife have been revealed in heavenly visions. Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich, for one, prophesied the infiltration of the Church’s hierarchy by those under satanic influence, and the pressing need to petition God "above all for the Church of Darkness to leave Rome." Her (early 19th century) visions sometimes portrayed this diabolical "darkness" by way of visible shapes and forms:
Among the strangest things that I saw, were long processions of bishops. Their thoughts and utterances were made known to me through images issuing from their mouths. Their faults towards religion were shown by external deformities. A few had only a body, with a dark cloud of fog instead of a head. Others had only a head, their bodies and hearts were like thick vapours. Some were lame; others were paralytics; others were asleep or staggering.
Described in 1991 by the Jesuit Father General as both devious and psychologically unbalanced (read: a sneaky psycho), would the essence of Jorge Bergoglio be mystically portrayed by a fox in a straitjacket? Just asking. But it's good to laugh because we face yet another gruelling year of a psycho-papacy which, as I write, is now deviously deconstructing the Pater Noster!
Since we can only expect more of the same throughout 2018, in order to survive the next wave of Bergoglian damage and distress we must face the spiritual facts fearlessly: viz., the personal, albeit invisible presence of the Evil One, and his use of FrancisChurch to accelerate Catholic convergence with the world, the flesh and himself. For, the more lively our understanding of our supernatural fight, the greater our appreciation of the primary weapons in our armoury — prayer and the sacraments: the sine qua non of dogged perseverance, abiding hope, and victory. As Fr. Amorth confidently replied to Stefano Maria Paci in 2001, when first queried about the influence of Satan in the Church and in the Vatican:
The smoke of Satan enters everywhere. But thankfully there is the Holy Spirit who governs the Church: "The gates of hell shall not prevail." Despite the defections. And despite the betrayals.
Of course, the devil can win some battles, even important ones. But he can never win the war.
We know it!
So this year let us resolve to endure; to prayerfully and sacramentally persevere in our daily petition for the Pope's repentance and conversion. Or, failing his response to grace, his rapid replacement by a Holy Father who immediately re-institutes the prayer of St. Michael after every low Mass.
For only then will we know for sure that Satan's ascendancy — his divinely-sanctioned Hundred Year War — is on the wane; that his disorienting "smoke" is dissipating; that he and his Church of Darkness are finally leaving Rome.
