Was Archbishop Bugnini's Removal Related to the Impostor Pope?

"A coalition of evil is being formed in the Eternal City, My child. You will pray for Cardinal Villot and Benelli, Giovanni Benelli.
"You must tell them, My child, by letter that their actions are not hidden to the Eternal Father. He has looked upon them and found them wanting.
"Come out of the darkness now, or you shall be cast into the abyss!" - Our Lady, September 13, 1975

The above Messages from Our Lady were given to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, New York. Read more

If you start out with a faulty premise, you will likely reach a wrong conclusion. Without knowing the firm grip that satan had upon the papacy and the Vatican from 1972-1978, much of the speculation regarding Vatican directives during this time period is going to be wildly inaccurate.

Using the insights that Our Lady of the Roses has graciously given to the world, there may be a nefarious reason why Archbishop Bugnini was removed from his Vatican position in 1975 and "demoted" to a post in Iran.

Archbishop Annibale Bugnini

Gaven Ashenden of Youtube's Catholic Unscripted explains that in recent decades liturgical issues "have been acting as a civil war in the Catholic Church." (watch video)

He goes on to say:

"In the last 100 years, a sense of puffed up, inflated, pseudo self-competence in society has expressed itself in a new form of this pelagianism. 'Well, maybe we know better.' And what we are dealing with in the culture of the Catholic Church in the 1960, 70s, and beyond are a group of influential Catholic prelates and theologians who thought they knew better than tradition."

One of most influential prelates regarding the new liturgy was Archbishop Annibale Bugnini.

Dr. Peter Kwasniewski summarizes the importance of Archbishop Bugnini quite well:

"The wide-ranging liturgical reform that took place in the Catholic Church predominantly between the years 1950 and 1975 was, indeed, like Hamlet, a complicated business, involving hundreds of bishops and experts, several popes, an ecumenical council, and countless publications, but at the center of it stood “one plain tragic figure of a man in black” — or perhaps we might say black with red piping: Msgr. (later Archbishop) Annibale Bugnini, a Vincentian priest who was one of the few men who had a hand in this quarter-century reform from its beginning nearly to its end." (Dr. Peter Kwasniewski, "What Bugnini Was Thinking When He Destroyed the Catholic Mass," February 5, 2019, https://onepeterfive.com/bugnini-destroyed-mass/)

Dr. Peter Kwasniewski recent book, Close the Workship: Why the Old Mass Isn't Broken and the New Mass Can't Be Fixed, is a wealth of information.

Gaven Ashenden praises Dr. Kwasniewski's work:

"One of the things that Peter K. [Kwasniewski] does for us is he explains the trickery that Bugnini was up to. In other words, there was a great difference between what the Council Fathers thought they were doing and what Bugnini and Paul VI got them to do. And this is where there is an element of conspiracy theory here. Because we don't want to blame the Fathers of the Council, but particularly in terms of liturgy, we do want to know that there was a trick played on the Council. And the trick was they found themselves voting for things that they didn't intend at all. Because Bugnini had an entirely different agenda of his own. In fact, we've even had it described to us the way in which he would tell the Committee one thing and he would tell the Pope something else. And he would keep the Pope and the Committee in the dark about each other. And they would both agree to things that Bugnini told each other that they were doing, but Bugnini wasn't telling them the truth. In other words, he was acting as a middleman deceiving everybody. He is the villain of the whole piece, although perhaps Pope Paul VI is responsible, too." (watch video)

Bugnini had unprecedented access to Pope Paul VI, at one point even daily meetings with him. So Bugnini's familiarity with Pope Paul VI was great. A conspiracy of historical proportions was about to be unleashed against the papacy, and Bugnini was in the way.

Archbishop Bugnini's removal in 1975 - a false narrative spun against Bugnini to deflect from the real reason he was removed: To facilitate the insertion of the impostor pope to Pope Paul VI

June 19, 1975

"In 1969, the Consilium was abolished and replaced by a new Congregation for Divine Worship with Bugnini still in the saddle. In 1975, after an explosive meeting on June 19th of indignant cardinals, the new Congregation was abruptly terminated and this time Bugnini was dismissed in disgrace." (Fr. John Mole, "Assault on the Roman Rite")

July 31, 1975

"At the very moment when his power had reached its zenith, Archbishop Bugnini was in effect dismissed--this was his second fall--to the dismay of liberal Catholics throughout the world. What happened was that the Archbishop's entire Congregation was dissolved and merged with the Congregation for the Sacraments under the terms of Pope Paul's Apostolic Constitution Constans Nobis, published in L'Osservatore Romano (English edition) of July 31, 1975. The new congregation was entitled the Sacred Congregation for the Sacraments and Divine Worship." (Michael Davies, Liturgical Time Bombs in Vatican II)

January 4, 1976

On January 4, 1976, L'Osservatore Romano published the news that "Pope Paul" had appointed Archbishop Bugnini as nuncio to Iran.

1) Theories of Archbishop Bugnini being a freemason:

"Chiron looks at every piece of available evidence and reaches the conclusion that it is impossible to say with certainty whether Bugnini was or was not a Freemason; evidence adequate to a conviction is wanting. He mentions that the accusation arose from someone 'highly placed' in the Church’s hierarchy..." (Dr. Peter Kwasniewski, "What Bugnini Was Thinking When He Destroyed the Catholic Mass," February 5, 2019, https://onepeterfive.com/bugnini-destroyed-mass/)

Did this accusation come from "highly placed" Cardinal Jean Villot, the Secretary of State?

More on why this matters in a moment.

2) Cardinal Stickler on Archbishop Bugnini's removal: "it was something far worse"

"...in the intriguing foreword, we learn of a 1996 interview in which Dom Alcuin Reid asked Cardinal Stickler if he believed that Bugnini was a Freemason and if this was the reason Paul VI dismissed him. 'No,' the cardinal replied, 'it was something far worse.' But His Eminence declined to reveal what the 'far worse' was — and, frankly, the concept of something 'far worse' than a Freemason opens frightening vistas of imagination." (Dr. Peter Kwasniewski, "What Bugnini Was Thinking When He Destroyed the Catholic Mass," February 5, 2019, https://onepeterfive.com/bugnini-destroyed-mass/)

Cardinal Stickler was aware of Our Lady of the Roses message. Shrine workers had gone to Rome in 1986 and 1987 to meet with cardinals, encouraging them to have Pope John Paul II consecrate Russia in union with all the bishops of the world. One of the cardinals who accepted a meeting with the Shrine workers was Cardinal Stickler, who was told about the Bayside messages in this meeting.

I personally hand delivered a package of Bayside messages to Cardinal Stickler on February 22, 1992 at St. Agnes Church in New York City, after a pontifical high Mass. Several Shrine workers waited patiently for the cardinal after the Mass, in order to give him Bayside messages. After receiving a blessing from Cardinal Stickler, I personally handed him a package of Bayside messages, and pleaded with him to give these messages to Pope John Paul II. Cardinal Stickler accepted this package of Bayside messages.

The real reason I believe Archbishop Bugnini was removed from the Vatican

I have a theory about Bugnini being removed from his Congregation on June 19, 1975, and then removed to Iran.

Many Catholics believe that Archbishop Bugnini's removal from the Vatican congregation and new posting in Iran was a demotion, by an exasperated Pope Paul VI. This narrative claims that Bugnini's radical changes were just too much for the cardinals and Pope Paul VI.

Really? So why was Bugnini alone removed from his position?

Or was there a more plausible explanation for the removal of Bugnini? I believe that the introduction of the impostor pope was the real reason for Archbishop Bugnini's removal to Iran. I have several reasons to back up my theory.

With the conspiracy to insert the impostor pope within the Vatican, Archbishop Bugnini posed a serious roadblock and one of the greatest potential threats to exposing this conspiracy.

1) Archbishop Bugnini knew Pope Paul VI more than most Vatican officials. We know that Pope Paul VI had ordered Bugnini to give him daily updates on the work of the Consilium:

"He [Pope Paul VI] tried to control it personally by having Bugnini report to him at the close of every day of the five years that the Consilium was at work. He reviewed each day's agenda brought to him by Bugnini word by word, line by line, for one, two or even three hours." (Assault on the Roman Rite, Fr. John W. Mole, Homiletic & Pastoral Review, August-September 1996, p. 22)

So Archbishop Bugnini knew the face, voice and mannerisms of the true Pope Paul VI better than most.

If Bugnini had served his destructive role of altering the liturgy, but was not allowed in on the impostor pope plot, the Vatican conspirators (Cardinals Villot, Bennelli and Casaroli) would have to send Archbishop Bugnini away because he could expose their plot. Bugnini was a loose end; he would immediately discover Pope Paul VI was replaced by an impostor and blow the whistle on the conspiracy.

2) Archbishop Bugnini's removal precedes the introduction of the impostor pope, by only two months

The Congregation of the Sacraments was established on July 15, 1975. The Congregation for Divine Worship (headed by Archbishop Bugnini) was dissolved and merged with the new Congregation of the Sacraments. Bugnini had been appointed secretary of the Congregation for Divine Worship by Pope Paul VI in May 1969.

But Archbishop Bugnini did not receive a position within the new Congregation of the Sacraments.

To go from head of a Vatican congregation, to having no Vatican position at all (not even a minor one), signaled a demotion.

Or, a plan to get Archbishop Bugnini out of the Vatican, out of the way.

The first Bayside message I can find that mentions the impostor pope is September 27, 1975.

So the timing for Bugnini's removal would be perfect for the conspiracy. There would have to be preparations within the Vatican, removal of key people, to allow this conspiracy to achieve its objective.

3) Pope Paul VI was already a prisoner in the Vatican when Archbishop Bugnini was removed from his position in July 1975. The decision was most likely made not by Pope Paul VI, but Cardinal Villot.

"You must increase your prayers for your Vicar. He is now a prisoner among his own. The faces of evil are many about him. They parade themselves, My child, as angels of light." (Our Lady, February 1, 1975)

Jacinta – “It is true; it will happen. It is true." (June 8, 1972)

June 8, 1972: "Forged documents are coming out of Rome"

"Forged documents are coming out of Rome. The enemies within Holy Church seek to place the papacy and Pope Paul in a bad light, to place the blame on him in an attempt to tear down the papacy and set up an international religion; and not of Jesus Christ. Many are accepting as sheep going to the slaughter." (Our Lady, June 8, 1972)

July 25, 1972 - Vision of a cardinal and group of bishops with knives behind their backs, plotting against Pope Paul VI

August 5, 1972: "The Holy Father will soon undergo a great trial"

"The Holy Father will soon undergo a great trial. You will all gather round him and support him on his cross. You will not set up the machinery for the entrance of satan's agent onto the Seat of Peter, for when you do you have reached the beginning of the end!" (St. Peter, August 5, 1972)

December 30, 1972: "Jacinta warned you of the affairs of Rome"

"Jacinta warned you of the affairs of Rome. Now one remains to be fulfilled, the secret of Heaven and earth. I have entrusted you with this already, and I have asked you to prepare yourself and those you love for this eventuality." (Our Lady, December 30, 1972)

1973: Pope Paul VI was drugged

Veronica - Now I am...Our Lady is taking me into a bedroom. Oh! I see sisters—they're nurses—in the bedroom. Oh, and there—I can see him in his bed—is the Holy Father. The nurse now has a needle, and she's rolling up now the sleeve. He has on...it looks like a robe, the Holy Father, and she's giving him a needle in his arm. He...and he looks very sick. Now the needle was placed into his left arm, into his left arm. Now as the needle is placed into his left arm, Pope Paul is reaching over onto a table near his bed. He's reaching for his crucifix. He's placing it across his chest. (April 14, 1973)

"Medication of evil has dulled the brain of the true Pope, Pope Paul VI. They send into his veins poison, to dull his reasoning and paralyze his legs." (Our Lady, September 27, 1975)

February 5, 1974: Cardinal Mindszenty of Hungary removed from office

On October 23, 1971 Pope Paul VI concelebrated Mass with with the anti-communist hero Cardinal Mindszenty. Pope Paul gave Cardinal Mindszenty his own cardinal's mantle and told him in Latin, "You are and remain Archbishop of Esztergom and Primate of Hungary. Continue working and if you have difficulties, turn trustfully to us!"
    The Cardinal returned to his pastoral tours around the world. But on February 5, 1974, something unbelievable occurred: he received a letter from the "Pope" declaring the See of Esztergom vacant. The Vatican announced to the world that Cardinal Mindszenty had "retired." The Vatican had lied to the world in a public statement. In profound sorrow Cardinal Mindszenty had to make clear that he had not abdicated, but had been deposed. His Memoirs end with the words: "This is how I arrived at complete and total exile."
    The Vatican was flooded with protests and the free world's press attacked the deposition of Cardinal Mindszenty with fury.

April 1974: Pope Paul VI refuses to sign a certain document, Cardinals say they will "wait until later"

Veronica - Now I see... it's growing very light. Oh, I've never been over there, but I recognize... and I'm standing with Our Lady in a very large area. It's . . . I'm looking at a very large church. I recognize it's St. Peter's. And Our Lady now is taking me by the hand, and She's pointing up to a building. And now we're going into the building. And I see... oh, I see Pope Paul. Oh, he's sitting in a very awkward position in his chair. He looks like he's sort of hanging over his chair.
    Now there are two men coming in. They're dressed in purple and red, sort of. They have like little round, like yarmulkes, round hats on their heads. And they're going and they're propping him up. I don't know what's wrong with him. They're propping him up in the seat. He looks like he's half asleep, or something. Oh, he does look very sick; he looks very sick.
    Now they're taking his hand, and they're putting a pen in his hand. And they are shouting something at him: "Sign it! Sign it!" And now I see Pope Paul. He's raising his head and he's looking at them very groggily, like there's something wrong with him. And he's leaning forward, and he's trying to read a paper on the desk. But now he fell across the desk. And now the two men have pulled him up. They look like bishops or something. They have belts about their waists, made of like cords with tassels. Now they've pulled him up and sat him back on the chair. And they're taking his hand now and placing it over the paper. And he's shaking his head, no! No! No!
    Then they--oh, the man on the right now has taken the paper and he's speaking to the other man. I don't recognize them; I never saw them before. And he's saying: "We'll wait until later." And now they're going out.
    And Our Lady now is putting Her fingers to Her lips, and we're leaving the room. And Our Lady now is saying:
    Our Lady - "My child, there is great deception in the Holy City. Pray much for your Vicar. He is under great trial. Enemies surround him. And on one hand, My child, can you count those who can be trusted." (April 6, 1974)

April 13, 1974: Satan has entered into the House of God

"My child, you cannot keep from fulfilling your mission to bring the Message of Heaven by holding back the truth. Go forward, My child, now, and bring this message to the world: satan has entered into the House of God. He rules now from the highest places. The world and the Church of God is in deep darkness. Those who are in command—many have fallen away. Pray, My children, much, for with your prayers and sacrifices they, too, can be recovered.” (Our Lady, April 13, 1974)

May 1974: Pope Paul VI signs the document

Veronica - Now it's growing dark. And Our Lady is pointing with Her finger over to the left side of the flagpole. Oh, I see the inside of a large room. And sitting at a desk I can see Pope Paul. He's signing a paper. Now he's placed the pen down and he's going over to a kneeler; he has a kneeler before a very large statue of Our Lady. Oh! He is... I don't understand his words.
    Now Our Lady is coming over, and She is saying:
    Our Lady - "I will repeat them for you, My child. The heart of your Vicar cries in anguish, 'Mother Immaculate, give me the strength to persevere in the days ahead. You have made it known to me the way of the cross. I shall accept the will of the Father.'"
    Veronica - Now I can see the Holy Father bowing his head. (May 22, 1974)

August 21, 1974: Cardinal Villot censoring, rewriting Pope Paul VI's mail

"V. [Cardinal Villot] does much damage to the Holy Father by changing his correspondence. V. rewrites his letters. V. censors his mail. He did not, my child, receive the medals you sent to him. He did not receive your correspondence, my child. The Holy Father shall receive his knowledge from Mary, the Queen of Heaven and his Mother." (St. Michael, August 21, 1974)

October 1974: "Notificatio" document appears

The "Notificatio" from the Congregation of Divine Worship of October 28, 1974, in which it is claimed that the new rite (Novus Ordo Mass) is obligatory "notwithstanding any custom whatsoever, even immemorial."

September 6, 1975: Pope Paul VI - the enemy within planning to remove him, his hands are tied

"Yes, My child, the tears are falling from Heaven. We see a plot against Our beloved Vicar. We see the enemy within planning to remove him. Already, My child, his hands are tied." (Our Lady, September 6, 1975)

September 13, 1975: A coalition of evil is being formed in the Vatican

"A coalition of evil is being formed in the Eternal City, My child. You will pray for Cardinal Villot and Benelli, Giovanni Benelli.
"You must tell them, My child, by letter that their actions are not hidden to the Eternal Father. He has looked upon them and found them wanting.
"Come out of the darkness now, or you shall be cast into the abyss!" (Our Lady, September 13, 1975)

September 27, 1975: Directions not coming from the pen of Pope Paul VI, but by Benelli and Villot

"You cannot accept now what comes from Rome, for they do not come, these bulls, and these directions are not written by the pen of Pope Paul VI. They are written by the pen of Benelli and Villot." (Our Lady, September 27, 1975)

September 27, 1975: Pope Paul VI laid low - impostor pope - Cardinal Villot, leader of evil

"My child, I bring to you a sad truth, one that must be made known to mankind. In doing this, My child, you must proceed without fear. It must be made known to mankind. Our dear beloved Vicar, Pope Paul VI, he suffers much at the hands of those he trusts. My child, shout it from the rooftops. He is not able to do his mission. They have laid him low, My child. He is ill, he is very ill. Now there is one who is ruling in his place, an impostor, created from the minds of the agents of satan. Plastic surgery, My child—the best of surgeons were used to create this impostor. Shout from the rooftops! He must be exposed and removed.
    "Behind him, My child, there are three who have given themselves to satan. You do not receive the truth in your country and the world. Your Vicar is a prisoner.
    "Antonio Casaroli, you shall condemn your soul to hell! Giovanni Benelli, what road have you taken? You are on the road to hell and damnation! Villot, leader of evil, take yourself from among those traitors; you are not unknown to the Eternal Father. You consort with the synagogue of satan. Do you think you shall not pay for the destruction of souls in My Son's House?
    "The Antichrist, the forces of evil, have gathered, My children, within the Eternal City. You must make it known to mankind that all that is coming from Rome is coming from darkness. The light has not passed that way. The appearance in public is not Paul VI, it is the impostor pope. Medication of evil has dulled the brain of the true Pope, Pope Paul VI. They send into his veins poison to dull his reasoning and paralyze his legs. What evil creature have you opened the doors to the Eternal City and admitted? The agents of satan!…
    "It is the diabolical plan of satan to have the hate of the world turned to the Vicar, Pope Paul VI, in Rome. The plan of satan is to heap upon his shoulders all the error and wrongdoing; however, those who he has trusted have betrayed him, have now assumed complete control of his mission. There are in figurative language, My child, three popes now in Rome. Three popes, My child, not counting Pope Paul VI: three men who are being directed by satan.
    "You cannot accept now what comes from Rome, for they do not come—these bulls and these directions are not written by the pen of Pope Paul VI. They are written by the pen of Benelli and Villot. They have given direction, My children, to Antonio Casaroli to infiltrate into the high places of the public, conducting of emissaries from Rome to all nations of the world, agents of satan. Do you not know now why the good have been persecuted? Do you not know why the hands now shake the hand of the devil, the enemies of God?…
    "I must, My child, make it known at this time that you must go back in the immediate years and bring the knowledge to mankind that these changes, the changes that have given bad fruits, have not been given to you through the Holy Spirit and through your Vicar, Pope Paul VI. It is the web of satan reaching out. Many are now, My child, puppets. The strings are being pulled by Benelli, Villot, and Casaroli and their followers." (Our Lady, September 27, 1975)

January 31, 1976: Prophecy of the assassination of Msgr. Nokodim

Our Lady - "Already there is a conspiracy against your intermediary between the evil nations."
Veronica - Oh!
Our Lady - "Yes, My child. Watch the developments throughout your world, for he will be assassinated." (January 31, 1976)

PROPHECY FULFILLED: September 5, 1978 - John Paul I welcomes Msgr. Nikodim, Orthodox Metropolitan of Leningrad, who would die suddenly during the papal audience. The Pope, kneeling beside him, would then recite prayers for the absolution of his sins. (Read more)

August 14, 1976: "it is common knowledge now in the city of Rome"

"The Message from Heaven has reached the Eternal City of Rome. And now, My children, you will pray that they learn by it, and recover the souls that shall otherwise be lost to Heaven. Pray for your Vicar, Pope Paul VI; pray for Our suffering son.
    "It is common knowledge now* in the city of Rome that there is one who has been impersonating your Vicar, an actor of great talent, one who through surgery has gained the countenance of your Vicar. It is now common knowledge, My children, and now there shall be a game of chess played. There will be bishop against bishop and cardinal against cardinal, for satan has set himself in their midst. Bishop against bishop and cardinal against cardinal, for satan has set himself in their midst. All that is rotten shall fall." (Our Lady, August 14, 1976)

* Just as a confirmation of this "common knowledge" statement by Our Lady, years ago at one of the Bayside message tours of the United States, a reporter in the audience acknowledged that photographer journalists at the Vatican were aware of this, noticing the clearly different facial features of the impostor pope, compared to the real Pope Paul VI. The German author Theodor Kolberg produced two books on the impostor pope (Umsturz im Vatikan?--Overthrow in the Vatican?--in 1975 and The Deception of the Century in 1977). Furthermore, a solemn Church exorcism in Switzerland also exposed the existence of the impostor pope. (Read more) Also, an Immaculate Heart of Mary nun visited Rome on June 19, 1977 saw both the real Pope Paul VI and the impostor pope in two separate areas of the Vatican. (Read more)

The evidence was always there, for those who had eyes to see and had not hardened their hearts to the truth.

September 11, 1976: Archbishop Lefebvre meets with the impostor pope

Archbishop Lefebvre meets with the impostor pope. No Swiss guards were present, only Cardinal Benelli silently taking notes of the meeting. (Read more)

October 6, 1976: "... one of great power, and one who is wielding the rod over others under him in the Eternal City of Rome. Pray for his conversion back to the truth and the light"

"There is the knowledge of what is taking place, in Rome. There is a great knowledge now spreading in the Eternal City. Pray, My children, a constant vigilance of prayer as We approach with the message a high dignitary, one of great power, and one who is wielding the rod over others under him in the Eternal City of Rome. Pray for his conversion back to the truth and the light. You do not wish, My children, to see him pass over the veil without penance and contrition, for he will be claimed by satan.
    "O My children, it truly rains teardrops from Heaven! The Judases within My Son's House are multiplying, and those of weak faith have become lukewarm and going like ducks downstream, following the leader to their own destruction." (Our Lady, October 6, 1976)

June 4, 1977: "The man called Benelli"

"Already in Rome, as I gave you in the past, the man called Benelli has come forward to approach the seat of Peter and to bring upon Rome the full reign of 666 on the seat of Peter! I beg you, I implore you, as your Mother, to listen! I have warned you now upon your earth; I have come to you as a Mediatrix between God and man, imploring you to listen to My counsel and My direction. The forces of hell are loosed upon your earth now." (Our Lady, June 4, 1977)

December 31, 1977: Fatima message suppressed - "Why did you not give My message to the world as I gave it to you? Pride and arrogance!"

"My children, why did you avoid giving My counsel to the world? O you of little faith in the high places of My Son's House, His Church, why did you not give My message to the world as I gave it to you? Pride and arrogance! That is why, My children." (Our Lady, December 31, 1977)

May 13, 1978: The REAL Third Secret

"How I warned and warned that satan would enter into the highest realms of the hierarchy in Rome. The Third Secret, My child, is that satan would enter into My Son's Church." (Our Lady, May 13, 1978)

Note: "We know moreover, that Sister Lucy confided in the 1970s, that 'the chastisement predicted by Our Lady in the Third Secret had already begun'." (Frère François de Marie des Anges, Fatima: Tragedy and Triumph, pp. 237-238; Brother Michael of the Holy Trinity, The Whole Truth About Fatima: The Third Secret, Vol. III, p. 640).

June 1, 1978: Pope Paul VI is the "little one" in the message of Jacinta

"I ask you again to pray for your Holy Father [Pope Paul VI] in Rome. He is very ill. He needs many prayers, for he is being crucified by his own. He is truly the little one in the message of Jacinta.” (Our Lady, June 1, 1978) (Read more)

August 5, 1978 - Our Lady dressed in a black mantle

Veronica - Our Lady is coming forward, but She’s dressed in a very strange garment. Our Lady’s gown is a white, a brilliant white, but She has upon Her a mantle that covers Her head down to Her feet, but the mantle is a black. I have never seen Our Lady with a full black mantle on. It’s like you feel an “ominous” of warning. It’s a feeling of sadness about Our Lady.

PROPHECY FULFILLED: The next day, August 6, 1978, Pope Paul VI died. The pope's death came at 9:40 pm Rome time (2:40 pm CDT).

September 7, 1978: Lucifer "cut off the rule, the role of the Holy Father, Pope Paul VI"

"Satan, Lucifer in human form, entered into Rome in the year 1972. He cut off the rule, the role of the Holy Father, Pope Paul VI.” (Our Lady, September 7, 1978)

September 28, 1978: There is a plot against the new Vicar, Pope John Paul I

“My child and My children, I am not intending to go through a long discourse with you on the present state of My Church in Rome. Suffice it to say that 666, Lucifer and his agents, will make a concerted effort to dethrone the present Vicar.* In his plan, the plan of Lucifer, he seeks to unite My Church with the world, and this I shall not permit.” (Jesus, September 28, 1978)

* Pope John Paul I was found dead the next morning.

October 6, 1978: "A conclave shall start..."

"My children, a conclave shall start, and without prayers you will receive one on the seat of Peter, one with dark spirits, consorting with the devil." (Our Lady, October 6, 1978)

PROPHECY FULFILLED: Cardinal Benelli was 5 votes short of becoming pope, but with sufficient prayer, Cardinal Wojtyla, Pope John Paul II, was elected instead. (Read more)

May 21, 1983 - Pope John Paul I poisoned by a champagne glass

“We will go back, My child, in history, a short history, and remember well what had happened in Rome to John, Pope John, whose reign lasted 33 days. O My child, it is history now, but it is placed in the book that lists the disasters in mankind. He received the horror and martyrdom by drinking from a glass. It was a champagne glass given to him by a now deceased member of the clergy and the Secretariat of the State [Cardinal Villot].” (Our Lady, May 21, 1983)

Sister Vicenza found Pope John Paul I dead at approximately 4:45 a.m. on September 29, 1978 and was forced to keep silent by the Secretary of State, Cardinal Villot, who imposed a vow of silence upon her to cover-up the whole affair. The secretaries were likewise forbidden to advise anyone of the events without Cardinal Villot's authorization. A trustworthy person conveyed to Fr. Saez personally that Sister Vicenza had said, "But the world must know the truth."

Sister Vicenza gave two conflicting reports concerning the state that she first found Pope John Paul I. According to her breathless words to a group of French priests that same morning, it was "in his bathroom" that she had "found him dead." Yet another report (no doubt arranged by Cardinal Villot), says that Sister Vicenza entered the room and found the Pope sitting up in bed, "with an expression of agony" before he died. This discrepancy is very important: if it was determined that Sister Vicenza found the Holy Father dead in the bathroom, still in his papal robes, this would indicate that Pope John Paul I died shortly after his "toast" with Cardinal Villot the night of September 28, 1978.

June 18, 1986: Have Sister Lucy tell the Third Secret word for word; Sister Lucy silenced; "on that date, as promised at Fatima [1972], satan entered My Church upon earth"

"I wish at this time, My children, to repeat again the need to write, to speak, to meet with the Holy Father in Rome, and plead with him to have Lucy come forward and tell the Third Secret word for word, as I give to you each evening on My appearances upon the grounds of Bayside, and Flushing Meadows." (Our Lady, June 18, 1986)

"My child and My children, this message will not be greeted gleefully by your clergy. But since Lucy has been silenced, it is necessary that the world knows the truth.” (Jesus, June 18, 1986)

"I say this evening, as your God, that on that date, as promised at Fatima [1972], satan entered My Church upon earth. He brought with him his agents—and satan himself, the deceiver of all mankind, sat in on Vatican II and maneuvered all the outsiders to come in and distort My doctrines and distort the truth." (Jesus, June 18, 1986)

April 29, 1992: Third Secret - "Thirty-two years lost in indecision and fear of exposure"

"I gave Lucy the Revelation as a temporary secret--as I revealed [the Third Secret] to you on two occasions. Make a concerted effort to bring its entirety to Our children on earth. The hierarchy have not listened to My counsel--thirty-two years lost in indecision and fear of exposure. The Faith is shattered for many." (locution from Our Lady to Veronica, April 29, 1992)

Why do so few people listen to Our Lady?

Our Lady cannot be deceived; Our Lady cannot lie. According to St. Alphonsus Liguori, one of the Doctors of the Church, "The grace that the Blessed Virgin received exceeded not only that of each particular Saint, but of all the angels and saints put together." (St. Alphonsus Liguori, Glories of Mary)

Our Lady easily cuts through all the lies and deceits of satan. Who in their right mind would not avail themselves of Our Lady's perfect counsel and guidance?

Given Our Lady of the Roses extensive revelations on the conspiracy within the Vatican against Pope Paul VI, it is possible to make some reasonable conclusions. To attribute the removal of Archbishop Bugnini to Iran in 1975 to merely the dissatisfication of Pope Paul VI, seems ignorant and shortsighted. Rather, the removal of Archbishop Bugnini seems more logically to have been due to Cardinal Villot and the other Vatican conspirators, as an effort to protect their unfolding conspiracy and installation of the impostor pope, just months away.

But it appears that many Catholics despise and ignore Our Lady, trusting more in themselves. There are numerous photos proving the existence of the impostor pope to Pope Paul VI (confirmed also by a Church exorcism in Switzerland, by photographic evidence, by a reporter in Rome, and other eyewitnesses in Rome) that confirm the reality of Our Lady of the Roses' revelations on this subject. In fact, Our Lady stated that this was "common knowledge" in Rome. In the real world, in reality, Our Lady of the Roses words are true. It is only people living out of their heads, ignoring evidence and witnesses, who continue to be deceived and to deceive others.

We are grateful to God that bishops in Nigeria and in Africa have publicly acknowledged the truth of Bayside. (Read more)

As has always been the case, God is ignored and disobeyed when sin and pride rule a person's heart.
