pachamama scandal, Pope Francis, Marian Revelations and online channels

"But the person who endures to the end will be saved" (Matt 24:13). 

The controversial Amazon synod which concluded in October 2019 has  aggravated further the fury of the traditionalist section of Cardinals, Bishops, Priests and laity in the Holy Catholic Church who have been keeping it concealed for some years. It is the pachamama idol worship in the garden outside St Peter's Basilica and the installation of the naked idol in St Mary's Church in Rome that triggered the amount of intolerance of the conservative section of all including the Religious and faithful world-wide.

These incidents have caused great concern among the Catholic Christians who are bothered about the eternal life. While all who read the Holy Bible know that worshipping an idol is the most detestable sin before God, some others are found trying to justify these acts as if to extend their support to the stronger and powerful side. As the pagan worship occurred in the presence of the Pontiff, an average Christian is totally confused what to do and whom to ask about it.

The waves of these happenings are seen in Kerala too. While most priests are keeping mum on these developments, some Charismatic Preachers like Rev Fr Xavier Khan Vattayil and some others, who are greatly concerned about the souls have been requesting the devotees to fast and pray for the Church and the Pope. Some ardent Catholic groups, through online social media channels are reminding the people that these are the fulfilment of the prophecies the Holy Mother has been giving through many chosen people about the signs that point toward the inevitable 'end of the ages'..!

It is right time to watch again and again the video in which noted Charismatic preacher Rev Fr Daniel Poovannathil strongly and fearlessly stresses the gravity of the 'violation of the 1st Commandment' (ഒന്നാം പ്രമാണ ലംഖനം )..! Please watch how the devil slowly makes even the priests and nuns to worship other gods in the name of religious harmony and for the favour of others..!



Many average believers who have been listening regularly to the speeches of the above mentioned Rev Fr Daniel Poovannathil with keen interest are pained by some of the recent speeches by Daniel Achhan denouncing his own earlier stands about the 'signs of the ages' and some other topics. They are confused whether his earlier or present stand and views are inspired by the Holy Spirit!

So, as a devout and responsible Catholic it is our duty to pray for the Catholic Church and all its Priests, nuns and the hierarchy. Never believe or become victims of persons or groups who involve in anti-Catholic activities or preaching. They are agents of the devil, who have been making vain attempts to destroy the Church which is the mystical Body of Lord Jesus Christ since Its formation. They are wolfs in lamb's mask. Their only aim is to fish in the muddy water and deceive as many souls as possible and gain them for their master of the dark world.

As a true Christian it is our duty to be very alert and vigilant and get informed about the ages by reading the Holy Bible to save our souls which are more valuable than the whole world..! 

We also have a responsibility to show the light to those who are still in the darkness.

We must always remember that our Lord Jesus Christ, His Holy Words and His Catholic Church should be our first priority always.


To receive prudence and the discernment of the Holy Spirit and make  your precious soul secured, please do these 3 simple things without fail:

1.  Pray at least 1 Rosary Prayer everyday without fail. Make a loving covenant with the Holy Mother that you will do it (till your end). [It requires only 15-20 minutes. You can do it anywhere anytime]. If you start it from today, without any extra effort, yo will get abundant Blessings and 'Graces' of the Blessed Mother for getting rid of all sins and growing in essential Sacraments... like

2.  Participating in the Holy Mass / Eucharistic Adoration / Confession whenever (as regularly as) possible...

3. Read the Holy Bible Every Day... preferably in the morning itself (before reading news papers/books or switching own you mobile phone.

Note: Many Great Saints have affirmed and attested that whoever offers his heart to the Sacred Heart of Lord Jesus through the Immaculate Heart of Holy Mother Mary will be safe...safe...safe...ever...! If you have not yet offered (yours or you dear ones'), do it immediately, please......! Whatever happens around you, will not affect you... your soul will be very safe!

The awful horror (desolating sacrilege) pachamama idol at St Peters Basilica

(image courtesy: lifesitenews.com)
“So when you see the 'desolating sacrilege' standing in the holy place, as was spoken of by the prophet Daniel (let the reader understand...)," (Mat. 24:15)

"You will see 'the awful horror' standing in the place where he should not be." (Note to the reader: understand what this means!) "Then those who are in Judea must run away to the hills." (Mark 13:14)

The recent news and videos of some Catholic hierarchy and faithful joining the shaman who worshipped the pachamama statue by prostrating and worshipping before it and offering sacrifices during a puja ceremony held at a garden beside the St Peters Basilica in Vatican, in connection with the Amazon Synod has become a cause of great concern to the average faithful world-wide who are striving to follow the Holy Word of their Lord scrupulously and awaiting His second coming. They are gripped with fear and asking themselves, whether these are the end time signs foretold in the Holy Bible, by none other than the Lord Jesus Himself?

[pachamama is a wooden statue of a naked pregnant woman. it is worshipped as a goddess by the indigenous tribes living in the Andes mountain ranges of South America. she is also known as the mother earth and goddess of fertility.]

After the ceremony the idols were kept at the alter of the Santa Maria Church in Traspontina in Rome for public view. Unable to tolerate the 'desolating sacrilege' at this Holy place, two courageous people stole the pagan statues and hurled them into the Tiber river. However according to sources, the Italian police have traced them. 

Many Top ranking Cardinals, Bishops and zealous Priests have strongly condemned the incident of installing the pagan idols in St Mary's Church and termed it as an act to appease the devil. Ironically this drama happened on the 7th of October 2019, which is the Solemnity of our Divine Mother, the Queen of the Holy Rosary!

Watch the two videos of Pachamama idols being thrown into the Tiber river:  

https://youtu.be/xoB_gjuZgf8

https://youtu.be/QfQYHbX38ig

Many traditionalist Cardinals of highest ranks and Bishops have highly praised the act of the two men as courageous and compared them to the Maccabees. They have also severely condemned the pagan worship in the Holy place. Many devoted Catholics around the world also are sharing their deep concern on these developments.

Note: This article is not intended to judge or criticise anyone including the head of the Catholic Church or to create panic among the people. But it is meant to warn the faithful who are keenly awaiting for the fulfilment of the prophecies to be alert and vigilant, like the 'wise virgins' mentioned by our Lord in St Matthew's Gospel chapter 25.

[If you wish to watch the videos of the pagan worship performed in the lawn beside the St Peter's Cathedral, it is here. Though it is not recommended as it may be disturbing for an average devotee of the Lord, the video published by 'Children of Immaculate Heart of Holy Mary' is being shared here. viewers discretion is advised]

Kerala in India becomes the Land of Saints, Blessed and Servants of God

With the canonisation of Saint Mariam Thresia Chiramel Mankidiyan recently on 2019 October 13th by Pope Francis, Kerala in India has gained a lot of prominence in the spiritual map of the world. With the elevation of St Mariam Thresia, the number of Saints from Indian origin has risen to 6 and the number of Saints from a small state known as Kerala alone has risen to 4! There is more amazing news for the faithful that many more Blessed souls are readily waiting to be canonised shortly! And many 'servants of God' are in the waiting to be declared as 'Blessed'! 

When the number of the Saints, the Blessed and the Servants of God are in the rise here in Kerala, it is a matter for great rejoicing in Heaven. At the same time it is a shocking thing for the dark world. Naturally where ever there is rise in the number of devoted and faithful persons, the kingdom of hell will be very much worried and satan will deploy more troops at that place and recruit many local agents to fight and damage the Church from within. 

As we are in the last hour for the fulfilment of the Biblical prophecies, we must be very vigilant  and cautious. satan will go to any extend to mislead and ruin 'even the chosen'. That is why we see many faithful including priests and nuns being trapped by satan, join hands with the godless, atheists and terrorists and making vain attempts to destroy the Church of God.

Though we are living in a society where the number of the atheists, criminals and satan-worshippers are in the rise, there are also numerous known and unknown servants of God who pray ceaselessly for us and the whole world. We may not be aware that there are many saintly nuns and religious fully involved only in prayers and penance in many cloister convents and monasteries in India. We are fortunate to see, hear and touch some contemporary saintly priests, religious and laity (even though not officially recognised and declared as saints by the Holy See) who lead a prayerful life of sacrifices and serve the Word of God very loyally. St Mother Teresa of Calcutta lived with us few years ago. As she led a life of Holiness fully pleasing God, she is today witnessing the Glory of God as a Saint in Heaven and making intersession for us all! 

The process of sanctification and the declaration of the sainthood has 4 stages in the Catholic Church. A wait period of at least 5 years is necessary to initiate the process after the death. Sometimes the entire process takes even centuries for the completion.

1. Servant of God (ദൈവ ദാസൻ):

When the cause of a person who led a saintly life in this world is accepted by the 'Congregation for the causes of saints', on the recommendation of the local Bishop, he/she will be called as Servant of God.

2. Venerable (ധന്യന്‍):

After the acceptance of the cause and after making due examinations, from the time when the congregation officially approves and declares that the person lived a virtuous Christian life, he/she will be addressed as Venerable.

3. Blessed (വാഴ്ത്തപ്പെട്ട)

After declaring venerable, if a remarkable miracle happens through the intercession of that person, the congregation recognises that he/she is in heaven and is declared Blessed by the Pope. This declaration is known as beatification.

4. Saint (വിശുദ്ധന്‍)

After the third stage, when another exceptionable miracle occurs (and is approved by medical and theological commissions), the Pope in consultation with all the Cardinals fixes the date for the canonisation and declares a Saint.

List of Saints in Kerala Catholic Church:

1. St Alphonsa of the Immaculate Conception: 

Saint Alphonsamma of Bharananganam near Pala in Kottayam district is the first woman saint of India and the first declared saint of Kerala.
