Exposing the Lies of The Book of Truth

by The Seventh Warrior

The Book of Truth (BOT). Maria Divine Mercy (MDM). Crusade of Prayers. Seal of the Living God. These have become familiar and popular for the last few years as end time prophecies already predicted at Fatima, Akita, other major apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary and in Her messages to the priests through Fr. Gobbi have been unfolded and have now come to pass. All those following those messages have been anticipating some series of events that have been predicted from the sources already mentioned, which regard the end of times. When they come across with the messages of the Book of Truth, allegedly written by someone called, “maria divine mercy”, they would, for the most part, immediately conclude that these messages are of Divine Origin, because it sounds so much how the Lord sounds (that before you’d notice the great difference) in His private revelations and the other prophecies pointing to the end times.

Singapore Catholic Authority Warns Against Maria Divine Mercy

Foreign Speakers

During the week of 11-14 November 2015, an individual named Fabienne Guerrero, believed to be of French nationality, had given a series of talks on subjects relating to the Roman Catholic faith at various locations within the Archdiocese of Singapore. She has not complied with the Archdiocesan and statutory requirements of foreign speakers intending to minister in Singapore. She has not been approved by the Archdiocese and her messages are to be disregarded. 

Powerful Testimony of Former Follower of Maria Divine Mercy

My spiritual adventure started with a mistake, a really big mistake. I came across Maria Divine Mercy’s messages while searching on Google. At the time I was interested in anything but the faith. Even so, I began reading them. 

Initially, I found the messages interesting because they spoke about the future, the love of God, the Apocalypse - and I was curious how it was all going to work out. Curiosity got the better of me though it would be a long time before I would admit it.

Can Satan Seduce Souls After Death?

By PocketSketch

"If only people knew the Truth of life after death. AFTER THE SOUL LEAVES THE BODY, WHETHER IT IS IN A STATE OF GRACE or not, SATAN TORMENTS THROUGH THE POWER of SEDUCTION. HE TRIES, EVEN THEN, TO DRAW SOULS TO HIM.” Sept. 26, 2012 (caps added by PocketSketch)

    

This is a horrible, terrifying and false teaching about life after death. Catholics have always believed that anyone who dies in a state of grace will be safe in the arms of

Maria Divine Mercy and Vatican II

By T. Brown

There can be little doubt that the supposed messages of "Maria Divine Mercy" are not of divine origin. There are far too many mistakes in them, and internal contradictions as well. One is really left wondering if they were composed by even the demons as we might expect the demons to show more intelligence than this. 

Turn for example, to the message of Monday May 7, 2012: 

"When Vatican II declared new rules they were introduced by those evil Masonic forces from within your corridors. They cunningly presented new ways to administer My Holy Eucharist which are insulting to Me."

An inutile Christ abandoning His Church

Mocking Church Indefectibility

15 March 2013:  (Mary talking) “He, my beloved Son, hangs His Head in agony as He watches the horror as His Church crumbles before Him.”

19 March 2013: (fake Christ talking) "Masonic sects infiltrate the Church in Rome. Make no mistake – there can only be one pope in one lifetime...soon, all will see the subtle acts and the sly gestures of those false impostors who preside over My Throne in Rome, for they amount to sacrilege.

Anyone who seriously considers these utterances as coming from the Second Person of the Holy Trinity can immediately see an inutile powerless Christ agonizing “in horror” as the Church He built under the auspices of the Holy Spirit and over which “the gates of hell will not

A Warning on the Warning

By Fr. John Hogan

This article dated 05 March 2013 was lifted verbatim from Ex Umbris Et Imaginibus, the blog site of Fr. John  Hogan, for the information of our readers.  Here it is in full:

I received an interesting letter in the post today.  Well, it was not a letter really, but rather a series of photocopied pages sent anonymously with some of the "messages" from a self-proclaimed seer who calls herself "Maria Divine Mercy.  These "messages" appear in her books and website and claim to prophesy that a "Warning" is coming and the end of the world is near.  Among the messages was one which seems to have been tailored for current events. It seems, according to "Maria Divine Mercy", the next Pope will be the false prophet.

According to the "message" of the 17th February 2013: 

"...the schism within the Catholic Church, as foretold, will now be witnessed, for all the world to see...The Masonic elite have grasped control over My Church and they will wield the most wicket deceit upon Catholics....The false prophet will now take over the Seat in Rome and My Word, just as it was in My Time on earth, will be treated as heresy."  

Maria Divine Mercy" claims Jesus is speaking through her.

So that will come as a surprise to our new Holy Father - he will be the false prophet and he will treat the Word of God as heresy.  Astonishing claims. 

Fr. John Hogan
"To reject the next Pope and call him
 the false prophet is to enter into
schism, and schismatics incur an
automatic excommunication."
"I would ask all Catholics to stay clear
of this woman and her "messages".

Well, for the last number of months I have been hearing a lot about this woman who hides behind the title of "Maria Divine Mercy".   Meeting with various prayer groups, I see many of the faithful in Ireland are reading her book and some of them are being persuaded over to her point of view.  Indeed good, orthodox prayer groups are being torn apart as some members take this woman's line and others, aware of the difficulties in her teachings, try to stay clear.  These latter Catholics, who cherish the Gospel and union with the Pope, are being rounded on by the others and accused of not being real Catholics, of failing Christ. 

For more information on this "seer" read Jimmy Aiken's recent article.  This is an excellent, concise summary and rebuttal of the "messages". 

In reality this woman is leading people astray: she is fomenting schism in the Church, and many good people who have fallen for her false teachings are now becoming enemies of the Church as they promote her "messages".  Indeed when faithful priests point out the errors in these supposed revelations they are attacked by those who were once faithful Catholics.  Now it seems these very followers will reject the new Pope, brand him the false prophet and so take themselves out of communion with the Catholic Church.  

In one of her "messages" she claims: "He [the Antichrist] will be head of the New World Religion and he, and the False Prophet, who will head up the shell of the Catholic Church on earth will work closely to deceive all of God’s children".  So, it seems, those who remain in the Catholic Church in disobedience to "Maria Divine Mercy's" call will be working for the Antichrist.

What is going on?  I think it may well be a case of a false prophet indeed - only it is not the Pope.  In these difficult times for the Church we orthodox faithful need to stick together, need to support each other and encourage each other to live the faith as well as we can in union with the Holy Father.  The devil tries everything he can to try and tear this communion apart, and it seems we may well have another attempt in these false "messages", one which is having some success.

I would ask all Catholics to stay clear of this woman and her "messages".  For one thing we cannot establish her credentials.  When the Church examines the authenticity of any supernatural events or revelations she examines the alleged seers because their lives and integrity are part of the investigation.   If any alleged seer hides behind a pseudonym, even if they claim it is for the sake of humility, their integrity cannot be established, they are frustrating attempts of the faithful to weigh up whether this person is genuine or not.  If you look at the history of the Church no authentic seer hid behind a pseudonym - they were known and submitted to the judgement of the Church.  Through her invented persona and "messages", "Maria Divine Mercy" is trying to avoid that, and that speaks volumes.

I expect a backlash.  A priest I know wrote an article exposing the heresy and inconsistencies in these "messages" some time ago and soon after she was getting "messages" condemning him.  So I presume if her followers are offended with what I have written I will pop up in the next "revelation" - this is how false prophets try to quash criticism. 

As Jimmy Aiken correctly points out: to adhere to the "messages" and supposed prophecies of "Maria Divine Mercy" can result in grave sin and lead to formal schism.  To reject the next Pope and call him the false prophet is to enter into schism, and schismatics incur an automatic excommunication.  Harsh things to end this post, but this is serious.  "Maria Divine Mercy" may well be putting her immortal soul in danger, she should not  have companions on that road to perdition, but rather people who try to bring her to conversion.

Private Revelations, Judgements and Defections

I challenge us today, to study the Sacred Scripture, to read the Documents of the Church, the Catholic simple Catechism, the encyclical letters, the episcopal letters of Bishops to the government of their various regions etc. In these and many more instances Holy Mother Church speaks insistently and cries out aloud with pains and tears calling on all to return to God with a changed attitude. These documents are not far-fetched and like I said in my post a few  days ago, 'there are two things that will save the present world problem: humble prayers to God and the right action'

Fr. Angel Sotelo on MDM, Part 2

Why would loyal Catholics want to defend the private revelation of Maria Divine Mercy??

In his DOMINUS PARS HÆREDITATIS MEÆ blog last 03 June 2013, a reader by the name "Hannah"  posted a question to Fr. Angel Sotelo about MDM: 

Hi Father - hope you’re ok :) I read the Jimmy Akin article you linked in an answer about Maria Divine Mercy. The writer appeared to know nothing about the actual messages bar a few facts that he manipulated to turn into an argument. The book of revelations has a lot in it which corresponds to the messages. Sorry to bring this up again, but after reading it, it seemed he didn’t have a very solid or convincing argument. Thanks for your time - Hannah :)

Warning on the "Warning"

Some messages in the "warning" do not correspond with the teachings  of the Church, such as talk of "the Christian churches."

A plain text of Bishop Andreas Laun about a controversial private revelation

Days ago I received a call from a man with the question of what to make of "The Warning". I replied "I can not say anything, I do not know what you're talking about!" At his insistence, I had a look at the first pages of the "Warning" on the Internet. But as for the content, my verdict is: "warning before the warning!"

Austrian Auxiliary Bishop Andreas Laun: 

"Ridiculous is the message 
that the "preparations" for 
the second Coming of Jesus were 
"in full swing" - as if it would be
a campaign or a great journey
that Jesus had to 'prepare' for!" 

And this for the following reasons: The woman who get these "messages" claims have not been certified by heaven, as for example in Fatima through the miracle of the sun was the case, and other private revelations by other characters. And: Some things in the "warning" do not correspond to the teaching of the Church, such as talk of "the Christian churches."

According to Catholic teaching, only the Catholic and the Orthodox community are a "church," all other "churches" are only "Christian communities". That "God Father" of the "Hierarchies of Heaven" will fight the battle of Armageddon, sounds like "Lord of the Rings" and not by a private revelation that will recognize the church! Puzzling is the message of Jesus, that he is now more than twice as heavy suffering than during his Passion - the same Jesus of the Church teaches that it sits "at the right hand of the Father"?

Ridiculous is the message that the "preparations" for the second Coming of Jesus were "in full swing - as if it would be a campaign or a great journey that Jesus had to "prepare“ for!   In addition, there are a number of messages such as:  who is faithful, will go to heaven!  Or that we have free will, that God loves us even in difficult times, that the Church will never "go under" and is another of this kind! Louder "messages" that Catholics have known for a long time! The author of this "messages" knows how to accommodate over and over again allusions to biblical texts in their messages and uses particularly the Book of Revelation, which is particularly well suited to obscure content and at the same time to give them a bit of the Bible's authority. Of course, this serves "the warning" and the fear-mongering!

That we have reason to be worried regarding all that the future may bring, we know from revelation, but to a great extent it is enough even to read the daily newspapers! And so on! The truth in these "warnings" we know already, the other we can safely ignore.  So warning before the warning!

The original pastoral 

admonition in German 

can be found here

She could confuse some, they change the subject from him to what God really wants from them, others just "steal" time, then missing them somewhere! Moreover, if God is trying to tell us something important currently, he has ways and means to do it so that we also learn it without guessing games and hide-and-seeks with cleverly laid "tracks".   And finally: If I wanted I could also invent such "revelations" every day!

MDM Schism as of March 31, 2013 Open Rebellion Against God

Any Catholic who foments schism by repudiating, maligning, disparaging, questioning or rejecting the authority and person of the reigning Pope, the Vicar of Christ on earth, as duly elected by the College of Cardinals under the guidance and direction of the Holy Spirit, is in serious flagrant violation of Canon Law.  Anyone who knowingly and maliciously encourages and promotes schism automatically excommunicates himself or herself latæ sententiæ from the Church.

Code of Canon Law Part II : Penalties for Particular OffencesCan. 1364 §1 An apostate from the faith, a heretic or a schismatic incurs a latae sententiae excommunication, without prejudice to the provision of Can. 194 §1, n. 2; a cleric, moreover, may be punished with the penalties mentioned in Can. 1336 §1, nn. 1, 2 and 3. 

From the Catholic Encyclopedia: Schism

Schism is regarded by the Church as a most serious fault, and is punished with the penalties inflicted on heresy, because heresy usually accompanies it. These are: excommunication incurred ipso facto and reserved to the sovereign pontiff (cf. “Apostolicæ Sedis”, I, 3); this is followed by the loss of all ordinary jurisdiction and incapacity to receive any ecclesiastical benefices or dignities whatsoever.

“Between heresy and schism, there is this difference, that heresy perverts dogma, while schism, by rebellion against the bishop, separates from the Church. Nevertheless there is no schism which does not trump up a heresy to justify its departure from the Church .practically and historically, heresy and schism nearly always go hand in hand; schism leads almost invariably to denial of the papal primacy." (In Ep. ad Tit., iii, 10),  St. Jerome

"By false doctrines concerning God heretics wound faith, by iniquitous dissensions schismatics deviate from fraternal charity, although they believe what we believe” (On Faith and the Creed 9). St. Augustine

Messages from Maria Divine mercy since the election of Pope Francis 

Schism is occasioned by heresy so that the transgression is complexed in motive and execution to merit nothing less than excommunication, by law and by judgement.  Anyone who encourages schism also commits heresy.  Maria Divine Mercy is guilty of both. 

3/13/13 "I have not appointed this person, who claims to come in My Name,"

3/14/13 "...the imposter, who sits on the throne in My Church on earth, does not come from Me...The time for the schism to be laid bare is close, and already, a terrible unease is being felt in Rome,"

3/15/13, "You must pray for all those who run the Catholic Church. Please include the man who sits in the Chair of Peter...Pray that he will accept the Truth of the death of my Son on the Cross," (How insulting and brash that this message claims Pope Francis does not accept the death of Jesus!), "So infested are they, those who roam the corridors of Rome, that the biggest sign will be seen in the chaos, which will ensue, as they adhere to the command of the imposter,"

3/19/13, "Masonic sects infiltrate the Church in Rome. Make no mistake – there can only be one pope in one lifetime...soon, all will see the subtle acts and the sly gestures of those false imposters who preside over My Throne in Rome, for they amount to sacrilege,"

3/21/13 "The time for the division is soon and you must prepare.

What exactly does this false seer expect to gain for her fake Christ in disparaging the current Pope?   The audience of these messages is clearly traditional Catholics to start questioning Church authority. Does this MDM expect the faithful to rise up in arms and storm the Vatican to overthrow the "imposter?"  Nothing is more laughable than this, if not for the dangers the poor immortal souls expose themselves to in embracing such heretic disobedience. 

All these messages for this heretic Maria Divine Mercy foment schism in the one True Church.  While the Catholic Church has survived schismatic movements from the past and will indubitably remain indestructible, Satan continues to fan the schismatic flames that can only lead to the eternal damnation of those who fall for such sensationalist agenda. Abetting the fire is the mainstream and specialized  media that has been highly critical of the Pope's action, even putting words into his mouth to twist the truth that unwary Catholics accept without ever using their gift of discernment. But more on that later. It is enough that at this point, we can immediately recognize the words of Satan behind the messages that a scamming Maria Divine Mercy foist as having divine origins.  

The Absurdity of MDM Cult and Utterances Against St. Peter (Pope Francis)

Fr Martin Cross

I have being reading Maria Divine Mercy's utterances against the background of the Sacred Traditions of Holy Mother Church, her long standing sound teaching imbued with the wisdom of the sacred scripture, the wisdom of the Saints and the Church Fathers, and found they are absurd, unthinkable, and unimaginably targeted to cause schism by means of her demonic and heretical utterances. MDM Cult is not only instigating the people of God to turn away from the Pope with her end time erroneous massages, but equally and gullibly insulting the Chair of St. Peter, and calling the Holy Father "impostor." 

The growing Cult of Maria Divine Mercy and her Jesus

by Eddie Russel FMI

Eternal damnation awaits the souls of MDM and its followers 

when they disobey the authority of the Church they purport to defend,

 cast aspersions on the head of the Catholic Church, and  defend 

the heresies behind the messages despite every effort to point 

the errors in them.  The commit scandal by deceiving the faithful

to commit the same sin in embracing  messages that enjoy 

no Church approval.  

Maria Divine Mercy denies Pope as I predicted.

Whilst I have no intention of continuing on about Maria Divine Mercy in our newsletters, I do want Bishops, Priests, and Catholics everywhere to be aware of this fast growing Catholic cult, and so I hope this report goes some way to achieve that.

The Holy Trinity is three seperate beings according to MDM: To go into the particular heresies such as, Jesus will return again soon to offer mercy before he comes to judge, saying that because if he came now heaven would be empty, and that later he changed his mind,

Brisbane Archbishop Warns against spreading MDM messages

Issued to the clergy, religious and lay faithful of the Archdiocese of Brisbane, the reproduced image below of the official pastoral letter from the Archbishop of Brisbane, the Most Reverend Mark Coleridge, effectively makes it official the Church's condemnation of the false prophet Maria Divine Mercy or MDM.  As of May 28th, 2013, several online sites have already reported this such as the Adriansharp blog site  with the pdf file of the Letter you can download here.

Needless to say, followers of the discredited scam prophet will no doubt dismiss this Church issued assessment which should not be surprising at all since Satan will never follow the Church founded by the Son of its arch-enemy.

Defending the Church against Maria Divine Mercy

While the Catholic Church has successfully weathered the schismatic movements dotting its 2000-year history, with every confidence that Christ will never abandon the Church He built until the end of time, prophecies about the endtime pope has become a sensational topic today. Assertions that Pope Francis is the false prophet who will destroy the Church and assist the AntiChrist foretold in Revelations has won adherents around the world that if left to fester, creates another schismatic challenge to the Church, while plunging lukewarm and cafeteria Catholics into immortal damnation if they remained in the clutches of this anonymous self-proclaimed prophet hiding under the name of Maria Divine Mercy (MDM), in sheer mockery of the Divine Mercy devotions of St. Faustina.

Her heresies know no bounds, dismissing any judgement by the Church on her revelations as immaterial, even stating that her messages are sacred and on equal footing with the Holy Bible. She further asserts that anyone who does not embrace her messages are condemned by her fake christ. While I consider such assertions laughable, its comical dimensions give way to a tragic realization that her followers defend her with the same zeal that members of cult leaders have.

And the cult is growing with deceptive "crusade prayer groups" and seminars already being held in several parishes throughout the US, Europe, Asia, Australia, and Africa. Now under the guise of prayer, how can a parish priest refuse? Her messages since 2010 have been compiled and published as the "Book of Truth" in two volumes at $16 each for print and $10 for ebook (Kindle) at Amazon and translated in several languages.

Unless Church authorities do something to arrest this tumorous growth now infesting the Mystical Body of Christ in the Church Militant, the prophecies about the Catholic Church being torn asunder as foretold by MDM could just fulfill itself. And the souls of millions are now at stake. This is not just a false visionary aided by a small set of ragtag disciples we are dealing with, but a well-managed and well-funded organization that has spread its tentacles around the world. It has been around since 2010. It's now 2013. Are we supposed to wait another 3 years?
