"It is granted to few to recognize the true Church amid the darkness of so many schisms and heresies,

and to fewer still so to love the truth which they have seen as to fly to its embrace." -St. Robert Bellarmine



"The Hostage Pope", His Holiness, Gregory XVII

Although betrayed by His Cardinals beginning on the day of His Divine Election, October 26, 1958 A.D., put under constant surveillance, a documented death-threat, and having absolutely no temporal arm to turn to for help- Pope Gregory XVII, by a near miraculous occurrence shortly before His "unforeseen" death on May 2, 1989 A.D., did perform the proper actions to carry on the True Hierarchy (Petrine Mission) of the True Church.

The Victim Soul (Venerable Anne-Catherine Emmerich) Prophetically Spoke of the True Pope in Exile "I see the Holy Father in great distress. He lives in another palace and receives only a few in his presence. If the wicked party know their own great strength, they would even now have made an attack. I fear the Holy Father will suffer many tribulations before his death, for I see the black counterfeit church gaining ground, I see its fatal influence on the public. The distress of the Holy Father and of the Church is really so great that one ought to pray to God day and night. I have been told to pray much for the Church and the Pope...The people must pray earnestly for the extirpation (Rooting out, destruction) of the dark church." -Prophetic Vision of Anne Catherine Emmerich (1774-1824 A.D.) Augustinian Nun, Stigmatist from the book, The Life of Anne Catherine Emmerich, by Very Rev. Carl E. Schmoger, C.SS.R, Vol. ii, pages (Ibid, pages 292-293)



there will be great tribulations "We believe that the present hour is a dread phase of the events foretold by Christ. It seems that darkness is about to fall on the world. Humanity is in the grip of a supreme crisis." -Pope Pius XII















































a schism will be produced on the... "The election of Jean XXIII was illegitimate " [null, void, worthless]... "It was willed and PLANNED for by forces alien to the Holy Spirit."... "It is completely ridiculous to say that any cardinal would have been elected."

-"Cardinal" Tisserant, Freemason and Dean (Head) of the 1958 Conclave



























occasion of the election of the pope At the 1958 Conclave

on October 26th:

"Siri, [according to FBI sources], obtained the necessary votes and was elected Pope Gregory XVII". (Declassified U.S. Department of State secret dispatch, "John XXIII", issue date: November 20, 1958, declassified: November 11, 1974 [Also see]

U.S. Department of State secret file "Cardinal Siri", issue date: April 10, 1961, declassified: February 28, 1994.)





























one who will be

'called' the true pope, but he will NOT be... "The Church has

no enemies." -Antipope John XXIII (Enemy #1), speech from the balcony of St. Peter's, Oct. 28, 1958. The perfidious media would coin him, "Good Pope John". Antipope John XXIII wasted no time with his plan to subvert the entire Catholic Church with a "new gospel" which was inaugurated at his Apostate Vatican II Council; whose false teachings have thrown the "Church" and the temporal sphere into unprecedented chaos.























[He] will persecute

the TRUE pope St. Peter's Chains,

Mamertine Prison (above) Angelo Roncalli

(A.K.A Antipope John XXIII) would exile the true Pope, Gregory XVII, to Genoa, Italy where the Holy Father was a tortured captive of the Roncallian V-2 Masonic sect for more than 30 years. This tragically fulfilled the words of Our Lady of Fatima that if her requests of prayer and penance were not regarded, "...the Holy Father will have much to suffer".



























the majority will declare themselves for the antipope "To adhere to a

false Bishop of Rome

[a false "pope"] is to be out of communion with the Church."

-St. Cyprian God tests us by letting us chose between light and darkness, between loving obedience to His Catholic laws or rejection of them.

If we sin He withdraws His light. If we are theologically ignorant, and lacking in sufficient devotion, we shall not achieve our salvation.



























the True one [Pope] will remain the unique and uncontested pontiff Now at last, we know [who was] the TRUE Pope.

Finding him took so long. The restoration of the Papacy requires the commitment of all the true Catholics in the world. The news [of Pope Gregory XVII] has reached many countries. And everywhere the positive response of the faithful to the papacy restoration movement is growing.

































( Prophecy of Ven. Bernard de Bustis, 15th c. ): "...near the time of the Antichrist, will come... a most violent conflict with the Roman Church such that there will be great tribulations. At this time, a schism will be produced in the bosom of the Church on the occasion of the election of the pope... there is one who will be called the true pope, but he will not be truly so. He will persecute the true pope and all those who obey him, so that the majority will declare themselves for the antipope rather than for the true pope. But this antipope will have a sad end, and the true one will *REMAIN the unique and uncontested pontiff. ..." *"Church Authority. Those who are received into the ecclesiastical hierarchy are not chosen by the people, or by secular authority,

but are placed in the degrees of power of orders by sacred ordination. In the supreme pontificate the person lawfully elected , and

freely accepting the election, receives the power of jurisdiction by divine right . All others receive jurisdiction by canonical mission (c. 109)." (Text: "A Dictionary Of Canon Law", Second, Revised Edition, 1919 Imprimatur)

"...you must labor and diligently take care that the faith may be preserved amidst this great conspiracy of impious

men who attempt to tear it down and destroy it." (Mirari Vos, Encyclical of Pope Gregory XVI, August 15, 1832)
