Maria Divine Mercy: Holy Mary's PR Problem

Source: Phoenix 2015

A DUBLIN-BASED PR specialist named Mary Carberry was the centre of a colourful story in the Irish Mail On Sunday last month, which alleged that the businesswoman was involved in a bizarre religious outfit called Maria Divine Mercy (MDM).

She claims to receive prophecies from God and flogs various religious paraphernalia online, such as books and medals. But the real story about Carberry – who also goes by her maiden name, Mary McGovern – relates to her business history.

She has been involved in all sorts of companies in recent years, a number of which have been hauled up before the courts over bad debts.

The Wanderer: Maria Divine Mercy - New Ebook, Newspaper Coverage Focus Fresh Attention On Internet Seer

Author: Dexter Duggan 

An anonymous international Internet seer without ecclesiastical authorization apparently didn’t like it when an Irish Sunday newspaper publicized what seemed to be her name as February dawned.

Although “Maria Divine Mercy” (MDM) claims a direct line to God warning of the “end times,” she hadn’t revealed her own identity since she began presenting her apparently widely followed apocalyptic messages online in 2010.

RTÉ Talk Show Host Joe Duffy Discusses Maria Divine Mercy

By Mark Saseen

For three days, Monday - Wednesday, 2-4 February, Dublin, Ireland, afternoon talk show

Joe Duffy

host Joe Duffy asked the same question to callers addressing the 'secret' Irish 'visionary' Maria Divine Mercy -- "Do you know who she is?" [http://www.rte.ie/radio1/liveline/]

And for three days no one told him. Does Duffy know? Of course! The identity of the Internet-only 'seer' with millions of followers worldwide was scientifically identified as Malahide resident Mary McGovern Carberry in the Irish Mail on Sunday published the day before Duffy first asked his question.

The "science" in the identification was a comparison of "Maria Divine Mercy's" voice from her only interview in October 2011 on a US Catholic radio program.

Mary Carberry Buys Up Papers Exposing her as ‘Maria Divine Mercy’

One week after exposing Ireland resident Mary McGovern-Carberry as the ‘secret’ Catholic visionary “Maria Divine Mercy,” the Irish Mail on Sunday featured her again… gathering up all available copies of the 1 February 2015 publication near her Malahide home. The former owner of McGovern PR should have known better.

Mary Carberry caught on video while purchasing all available copies of the Irish Mail on Sunday. Full story here

Voice analysis confirms: Mary Carberry is Maria Divine Mercy

In a two-page spread in the 1 February 2015 the Irish Mail on Sunday reporter Michael O’Farrell exposed the central characters behind the fraud of “Maria Divine Mercy” as the public relations mother-daughter team of Mary and Sarah Carberry and millionaire retired dentist Breffni Cully.

New Book Revealing Truth about Maria Divine Mercy and her 'Warning Second Coming' Enterprise

Download eBook 

From the Book's 'Foreword'

In early March 2011 a website appeared – The Warning Second Coming - claiming to provide messages directly from Jesus and his Mother Mary sent to a woman whose identity was not revealed. The ‘visionary’ used the name Maria Divine Mercy. The website claimed she was a successful European business woman with children.

The website was ‘top notch’ professional -- not likely generated by someone busied with providing for a family while transcribing almost daily messages that spoke of end-time events. The messages allegedly began four months prior to the website's appearance in November 2010. Initially, the site attracted a modest following but was generally unknown in the Catholic community. 

Shameless Popery: How We Can Know Francis is Pope

Is Francis really a pope, or could he possibly be a heretic and an anti-pope? This is a question that Joe Heschmeyer ,  a seminarian for the Archdiocese of Kansas City, answers on a Shameless Popery blog. Highly recommended reading for those with any doubts in their mind.

"In recent days, there's been a nasty dustup between several prominent Catholic bloggers. The argument was ostensibly about “tone,” and it quickly devolved into a lot of bruised egos, and personal attacks on other Catholics for making personal attacks. It was an ugly spectacle, and I've stayed well clear of it...

Maria Divine Mercy: It Is All About Money?

There have been two important updates from Midwaystreet blog that suggest that money making-making is important, if not crucial, part of Mary Carberry's (a.k.a. Maria Divine Mercy) prophetic  enterprise.

Well, what do you know, here's the only MDM Prophecy that came true

On 13 March 2013, less than 24 hours after the Papal Enclave was convened, Jorge Mario Cardinal Bergoglio, an Argentinean Archbishop, was canonically elevated to the papacy succeeding Pope Benedict XVI who resigned on 28 February 2013, the first modern Pope to ever do so. He became Pope Francis and was presented to the cheering crowds at the Vatican Square on the same day. Three days later, Mary Carberry,  aka Maria Divine Mercy, released this prophecy:

Mary McGovern has attempted a justification for the two swords of salvation on her medal, in lieu of the traditional one sword Catholics are familiar with. According to her:

Automatic Writing – the Final Nail on the Coffin of Maria Divine Mercy

By Alex Lim

For several months, we have dug into the messages of this woman hiding behind the fake name of Maria Divine Mercy and recently unmasked as a marketer/publicist taking advantage of the gullibility of ignorant Catholics like herself - Mary McGovern Carberry.
The nature of the messages, the semantics and their syntactic issues have spawned speculations about their origination, ranging from simple fraud as being the product of a corporation employing a few mental pygmies writing with the least command of the language, to diabolical dictation from entities from the netherworld.  Across this range, the objective is clearly to create schism in the Catholic Church while singing all the way to the bank using Christina Gallagher's business model of doomsaying as a sure way to live in mansions.

Profiting From a False Prophet? The Strange Case of Kelly Bowring

By Tim Stuart

Dr. Kelly Bowring

Kelly Bowring lately of Cummins, Georgia, continues to launch marketing spiels for his books from his website. He is focused on writing about end times prophecy and how it relates to the Catholic Church. His latest attempt to sell his books was issued just a few days ago. Last year he told us that it was “plausible” that Pope Francis was the false prophet of the antichrist, based on the often ludicrous “prophecies” of one calling herself “Maria Divine Mercy” or, simply MDM.

Dr. Bowring wants us to take him seriously and often points out his academic credentials as well as his “mandatum” to teach theology. There is no question of his academic background, he is well-schooled and holds a doctorate in theology.

Spiritual Discernment of Private Revelations: Elementary Rules for Maria Divine Mercy Believers

By David Moorcroft

“I do not give much belief to prophecies, because most, especially those that have come to me recently, do not deserve to be read.”

 – Pope Pius IX. (9th Apr 1872).

The ‘warningsecondcoming’‘messages’ themselves speak of the need for discernment. MDM alleges that‘Jesus’ told her, on 15th Aug 2011:

“THEN PRAY TO THE HOLY SPIRIT FOR THE GRACE TO BE ABLE TO SEE THAT THESE MESSAGES ARE OF DIVINE ORIGIN.”

(1) The Church teaches, as of faith, that Christ communicated the whole of the Father’s Revelation to his Apostles, who committed it to writing (Sacred Scripture), or handed it on in the word of preaching or instruction (Sacred Tradition).

'The Little Pebble’ Claims Secret Contact with Maria Divine Mercy!

Imprisoned cultist William Kamm – ‘the Little Pebble’ – claims secret contact with MDM !

A German researcher has obtained emails revealing secret ongoing communication with Australian cult leader William Kamm and Irish ‘visionary’ Mary Carberry. Carberry conceals her identity using the name ‘Maria Divine Mercy’ [MDM]. If authentic, the email exchange supports the notion that Carberry is under the influence or direction of the excommunicated Kamm. Researchers at midwaystreet.wordpress.com have original emails with full text.

The emails are exchanged between Magdalena – leader of a German prayer

group – Kamm’s fake bishop Malcolm Broussard, and Broussard’s fake priest ‘Fr. Marie-Paul.’

Is Antichrist About To Appear?

By David Moorcroft 

• IS THE ANTICHRIST ABOUT TO APPEAR?
• IS CHRIST’S SECOND COMING JUST AHEAD? 
• WHAT DOES APPROVED PROPHECY SAY?

We must first of all distinguish between “that PROPHECY OF FOREKNOWLEDGE” [which] takes place when God reveals future events WHICH DEPEND UPON CREATED FREE WILL and which He sees present from eternity” and“That PROPHECY OF PREDESTINATION [which] takes place when God reveals what He alone will do, and what He sees present in eternity and in His absolute decree.”

Maria Divine Mercy For-Profit Company Selling 'Medals of Salvation'?

Mary McGovern's Signature
on the company's documents

A publicly available document has come out showing the purpose and ownership of a brand new Irish company (for-profit) called Merdel Limited. The stated purpose is to sell religious medals. In my opinion, this will be the vehicle for Maria Divine Mercy to produce and sell the "Medals of Salvation" spoken about in her fake messages from "jesus" and the "blessed mother". The description of the medal is diabolical. It depicts Mary wearing a crown of thorns twisted from her crown of stars. This is a blasphemous twisting of the meaning of the Scripture verse, Revelation 12:1, "A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars."


Here is the portion of the Maria Divine Mercy message from July 18, 2013 describing the medal, "My Image is to be created and a Medal struck where, on one side, I am to be placed with the sun behind my head and where twelve stars woven into a crown of thorns sits on my head. On the reverse side of the Medal, I wish to depict the Sacred Heart of my Son with the Two Swords of Salvation, which are to be crossed on each side." This is clearly satan mocking our Holy Mother, wanting her depicted wearing a crown of thorns!

Renowned Exorcist: Maria Divine Mercy's Visions Undoubtedly False

Father Elija Vella, an exorcist from Malta

Father Elija Vella was asked about Maria Divine Mercy during a Radio Maria program. Below is the transcript of what he had to say on the subject:

Question sent to Fr Elija: "For someone to say she is Maria Divine Mercy and that Jesus is appearing to her and He tells her the Pope is False. How can we find out if this person is genuine or not? Because a number of persons, some of them go to Mass every day, are believing these messages. What do you think?"

Fr. Elija: Thanks for asking because this way I will have the chance to reply to
