Startling Prophecies For 20th Century and NOW!

Yves Dupont's commentaries are quite startling. His commentaries for Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich (Anna Katerina Emmerich) was quite shocking. Her .visions and prophecies of the Catholic Church being undermined by worldly thinking as well as the Mass being changed into the vernacular, accompanied with a lot of grave irreverances and sacrileges. It is a must read. He includes a lot of commentaries for a lot of saints and even the famous religious visionary, Nostradmus (Michel de Notre Dame)

a riveting compendium of prophesy through the ages

In "Catholic Prophesy", Yves Dupont has done an astounding job in compiling, interpreting, and commenting on the prophesies from the last 2000 years of Catholic tradition, and it is astonishing that they all in essence have the same meaning, and as Dupont points out, communication between large distances in time and place was rare centuries ago, "but all these prophecies say the same thing, and there are hundreds of them !" (pg. 55). The prophecies of Jeanne le Royer (1731-1778), and Anna-Katerina Emmerick (1774-1824) are especially vivid and detailed. There is also a section about a predicted comet, and another on the quatrains of Nostradamus, which are made understandable by Dupont's analysis. Dupont brilliantly puts together all these pieces to make a coherent whole in this small, readable volume. It is also interesting to compare these prophecies with their non-Catholic Christian kin (as in the "Left Behind" series), which are remarkably similar, but with some distinctive differences in interpretation. Dupont's last update for this book was in 1973; I'm sure he would be amazed at how the world has progressed toward the visions he has presented in this volume. Some examples: Dupont wonders how one man could rule Europe (the coming "Great King"), not knowing about the EU, that makes this seem quite reasonable now. The rise of warring "Mohammedans" is a central focus of most of these prophecies. Today this sounds like the daily newscast. It states they will "march into Rome" from Albania...and in recent years the vast influx of Muslim illegal immigrants from Albania has been a huge problem for Italy. "Turkey will break its faith with the rest of the Arab world". There is recent news of Turkey entering the EU, which would open the possibility of this. He writes of the "triumph of communism", and though the Soviet Union has "dissolved" since this book was written, it would seem that its atheistic principles have not, and that the anti-religious aspects of communism (which is what these prophesies are concerned with) have simply morphed into the current obsession by secularists to remove God from every fragment of our lives. "Aberrations to be found even in the church"; not only have we had the recent pederasty scandals, but a split caused by those who say "the church must be brought up to date and made meaningful to the day's problems", instead of the people rising up to the principles of the church (the last quote comes from St. Anthony's 4th Cent. description of the latter days). Though Jesus told us "But of that day and that hour knoweth no man", He also gave us signs, indicating that we must use discernment in the events of history, and cautions us: "And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch".

The Coming Great Chastisement!

_Catholic Prophecy: The Coming Chastisement_ by Yves Dupont consists of a series of prophecies from various Roman Catholic saints, thinkers, and popes from throughout the centuries regarding the state of the world and the church. These prophecies emphasize among other things a falling away from the faith, various natural disasters, the rise of a great monarch, the restoration of the Roman emperor, the rise of a great pope, a coming chastisement (possibly involving a comet passing by the earth), and various political events including predictions of both world wars (and a possible Third World War). The first section of this book deals entirely with excerpts from the writings of different Roman Catholic saints, seers, prophets, and popes which reveal these events coming to pass. The author then comments on each of these writings, providing interesting interpretations (involving for example the spread of communism, the Russian empire, the rise of Mohammedism, the return of the Jews to Israel, and various political events and wars including the Reformation, the Age of Enlightenment, the French Revolution, the First and Second World War, and even modern day conflicts such as the Vietnam War). The next section of this book details the passage of a comet, which will come as a form of chastisement and involve many natural disasters upon the earth. The third section of this book deals with the "End of the World". It is written that "no one knows of the day and hour, not even the angels of heaven, but the Father only" (Matthew 24.36); however, we are told that certain signs must occur before the end is to come. The author shows how some of these signs such as the preaching of the Gospel to all nations of the earth and the subsequent falling away from the faith may already be upon us; however, he interprets this in terms of two separate stages within the Latter-Days period. In addition, this means that the reign of Antichrist must come soon. The fourth section of this book deals with the prophecies of the Roman Catholic seer Michel de Nostradamus. Nostradamus has been much maligned due to his association with various cranks and sensationalist individuals. However, the author shows that many of his prophecies hold much interest for the Roman Catholic believer. The author distinguishes between public revelation (such as that revealed to us in the Holy Scriptures) and private revelation (which is not necessarily an article of faith) such as that revealed by the saints and prophets. Particularly of interest are the apparitions of the Virgin Mary, particularly at Fatima, where various secrets were revealed about the state of the church as well as Russian communism. An especially important prophetess is that of the Augustinian nun Anne Catherine Emmerich, whose visions have provided much of interest for the Roman Catholic believer. The final section of this book concludes with a discussion of the current crisis within the church as revealed by the

So accurate it's scary

This is a small but powerful book. The author publishes many prophecies made by saints throughout Church history, and adds his comments to explain them. Given the author's extensive studies in the field of eschatological prophecy, his interpretations of them carry a great deal of weight. This is an excellent book.

More relevant than ever!

Some might be put off by the idea of a book and Catholic Prophecy that has undergone no change in the last 30 years since it was first published by TAN Books.However, when you open up the book and find on page 1 it states that "The Mohammedans invade Europe and commit innumerable atrocities", and that a multi-sided war is in the making, you get the feeling that the book was not written with pre-conceived notions generated by the "Cold War" or the "conflict" in Vietnam.While not by itself authoritative, this book is almost certainly the best introduction one could use on the topic. I first read the book in eighth grade and used it extensively in a report for my fallen-away Catholic teacher (much to her chagrin).Balanced, and well-written, but not high-brow. This is a great read.
