Pope John Paul II and the Prophecies of Garabandal: Fatima 2 Part 10 of 37

The papacy of Pope John Paul II, Karol Józef Wojtyła, and the apparitions of Garabandal, intersected. Here we explore the connection between the Pope and the apparitions of Garabandal. What happened in Garabandal Spain? The incalculable number of events that transpired in a small mountain town in Northern Spain, during the period of 1961 through 1965, witnessed by thousands of people from all over the world, continue to astonish to this day. Thousands of ecstasies, messages, prophecy and individual stories have been tediously investigated in books such as “She Went In Haste to the Mountain”, “Memoirs of a Spanish Country Priest”, “Garabandal: Message of Hope”, “Needles Magazine”, “Garabandal” by J. Serre, and one of the visionaries own diaries, “Conchita’s Diary” among others. Like the apparitions and messages of La Salette, Lourdes, Fatima and Akita, this story refuses to go away. The story is more engaging than any Hollywood blockbuster. It features palace intrigue, political posturing, geopolitical meetings of current heads of state but most importantly, warnings and prophecies of the future that affect all of humanity. Many profound things were stated there, firstly, priests were going to lead the entire church to perdition and an explicit demand that the world pray for the consecration of Russia, something that was stated in Fatima Portugal, approximately 40 years prior. Stating that priests were leading people to perdition was an unfathomable message in the 1960’s when priests were held in higher esteem than anyone in the social hierarchy. But as we see what has transpired with the abuse scandals, this prophecy was dead on. Millions of the faithful have left the Catholic church due to the abuse scandal. Priests, Bishops, and Cardinals moved perverted priests around like chess pieces instead of criminally prosecuting them for their crimes. Additionally, prophecies were made about how many Popes remained until the “end of times”, the conclusion of a disastrous synod, how a future Pope would visit Moscow and upon his return to the Vatican…Russia would invade Western Europe. One thing was promised, these events would transpire during the lifetime of Conchita Gonzalez. She was born in 1949 and is not getting any younger. Three bone chilling prophecies were stated that would befall humanity: a Warning, a Miracle and a Chastisement. Both the Warning and Miracle are not new pronouncements to Catholics. Many Saints and Marian apparitions, dating back hundreds of years, also described these future events (Many of which are covered in the book “The Warning” by Christine Watkins), but Garabandal clarified the events. One day, Conchita will step to a podium, 8 days prior to its occurence and announce a miracle that will occur at the Pines of Garabandal… to give definitive proof of Gods existence. Those in attendance who are atheist/agnostic or lacking faith, will finally be given the proof they have demanded. They will believe following the event. Those that are sick, will be cured. It will happen on a Thursday night at 830pm and will be televised around the world. She was given the exact date of that miracle and to this day, she has withdrawn from the massive publicity of the 60’s to a life of family and prayer and quietly awaits the date of her announcement. The events of Garabandal are not without controversy. Many shallow investigators of the events will often abort their efforts upon the discovery of specific prophecy (Joey Lomangino) without fully believing in the words of the Nicene/Apostles creed. Ultimately, all the controversy will be squashed as the events come to pass. Meanwhile, the world inches closer each day to the fulfillment of everything that was stated at Garabandal to four, poor, peasant children in the northern mountain town in Cantabria Spain… Please help our apostolic mission by reposting, saving, bookmarking and/or investigating further by reading some of the books aforementioned.
