The Legacy of Ex-Pope Benedict XVI, One of the Most Important Pontiffs in Catholic History...

POPE
"You will continue now, My child, by directing all to pray a constant vigilance of prayer for your clergy, for the Bishop of Rome, your Pope, and for all mankind, for all poor sinners whose minds have been poisoned by satan."
- Jesus, November 24, 1979

The Telegraph reported on February 28, 2013:

As of a few minutes ago, there is no Pope. The ring of the fisherman has been smashed and Joseph Ratzinger, although bearing the title of Pope emeritus, is now the retired Bishop of Rome. He has no power to rule on matters of faith and morals, infallibly or otherwise; he cannot create saints or even cardinals. This is his choice – sad, but the right one, given his declining health. Not that he seemed sad today: tired, but a serenely happy man, as he should be. As I've written before, he has great achievements to his name.

Let me try to sum up the pontificate of Benedict XVI from my perspective, paying attention to its failures as well as its successes.

Benedict's central achievement was that he began – but came nowhere near finishing – the "purification" of the Catholic Church that was his most pressing concern. This necessitated the reform both of the liturgy and of the behaviour of the clergy entrusted with its performance. It might seem strange to yoke together the two, but Ratzinger has always emphasised that liturgy – properly orientated worship of God – is the ultimate purpose of Catholicism, requiring a holy priesthood and laity.

Benedict saw himself as continuing the mission of his predecessor, John Paul II, to restore the divine dignity of the Eucharist by renewing the celebration of Mass and encouraging adoration of the Sacrament. The extraordinary scenes in Hyde Park during his visit to Britain in 2010 testified to his success – but his reluctance to bully bishops into following his suggestions meant that the mission was not fully fulfilled. (A little example that infuriates me: the Pope encouraged priests to celebrate Mass facing a standing crucifix. He himself did so at Westminster Cathedral, but the tall cross was quickly removed after he'd gone. Why?) Benedict also restored Catholics' freedom to attend the Tridentine Mass, suppressed in the 1970s – but, again, many bishops did their "la-la-la-can't-hear-you-Holy-Father" act and Summorum Pontificum has yet to be enforced.

Still, Pope Benedict must take credit for the reintroduction of solemnity to worship in many churches, leading by example to a greater extent than Blessed John Paul II, whose heroic travels exposed him to countless liturgical atrocities. Non-Catholics who think this is a side-issue do not understand Catholicism.

The outside world, understandably, is more concerned with the revolting lack of purity shown by countless Catholic priests towards young people. Cardinal Ratzinger, as Prefect of the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith, was a hardliner in his wish to see these cases dealt with severely. That does not mean – as he has been constantly reminded over the past eight years – that he acted effectively. He made mistakes himself; he was sneakily opposed by wretched cardinals who wanted to protect their friends; and having a near-senile Pope in office as the storm broke did not help. Once he became Pope, Benedict was quick to punish one of the most rancid sex abusers in Catholic history, Fr Marciel Maciel, founder of the Legionaries of Christ, now dead; one can't help wondering whether Pope John Paul, had he been still alive, would have ignored evidence and beatified the old monster. But Benedict could not cope with the deluge of abuse claims since 2005; he was old, the rotten structures of the curia remained largely untouched, and the world's bishops seemed to have learned little from previous scandals.

Nevertheless, a message was conveyed, however falteringly. The Vatican realised it had been sinfully negligent in its duties to protect innocent children. Benedict's own apologies were sincere; he did not shrink from shouldering the burden of the Church's shame.

I'm unqualified to assess the intellectual legacy of Benedict XVI. His encyclicals emphasised the joy of Catholicism, and he worked hard to establish – in crystal-clear prose – a rational basis for Christianity's vigorous engagement with the secular culture it helped shape. As he would be the first to admit, he built on foundations laid by the philosopher-pope John Paul II, whose mighty encyclical Veritatis Spendor remains the definitive Catholic defence of objective truth.

There was a sense, however, in which Benedict's relatively short pontificate was a necessary corrective to the epic spectacle of John Paul's reign. Joseph Ratzinger was not a superstar; rather, he was a thinker and writer of international repute whose personal modesty reminded Catholics that the office of St Peter is more important than its occupant. He has now demonstrated this in the most extraordinary way, by ceasing to be Pope. He leaves the Catholic Church in a fitter state than that in which he found it, though the flashbulbs surrounding disgraced prelates may obscure that fact. The cardinals electing the next Pope should have a fairly clear idea of the direction in which the Church should move, something that was lacking when I stood in St Peter's Square and heard, to my astonishment, the name of Joseph Ratzinger broadcast from the balcony. Benedict may have felt at times that the Lord was sleeping when he was steering the barque of Peter; but steer it he did, and into fresh waters.

“LUCIFER HAS MANY ATTACKS PLANNED UPON THEM”
"The war of the spirits rages. The attempts upon your Vicar for his life will be numerous. The Eternal Father has a plan in the days ahead. Pray for your Vicar; pray for your bishops, your clergy. Lucifer has many attacks planned upon them.”
– Jesus, October 6, 1979

UNDER GREAT ATTACK
"Pray for your Pope in Rome, the Bishop of Rome; he is under great attack. Unless you pray for your Pope, he will go the way of the others."
- Jesus, August 4, 1979

Our Lady of the Roses Awesome Bayside Prophecies... https://www.tldm.org/Bayside/
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995.

VALUE OF SUFFERING
"My child and My children, comfort yourself in the knowledge that all suffering shall be given over now for the salvation of souls. Learn the value of suffering. Do not waste a martyrdom that can be given over for the salvation of a soul. Accept the will of the Eternal Father, but always pray and test the spirits that come to you." - Jesus, June 9, 1979

PERSEVERANCE
"Our hearts are torn because many have been misled. We ask a great burden for many to accept: a burden of perseverance. And this is a burden when the opposition is great, a burden filled with eventual graces to accept martyrdom upon earth." - Jesus, December 7, 1978

FOREVER WITH GOD
"Man in his arrogance has cast aside the truth of the everlasting soul, the nature of man, the immortality of the soul. Know there is no word such as 'death'--only to the human body. You are as you are, an entity that lives forever. But over the veil, you have your choice of the kingdoms: forever in the light or the darkness. Forever with God the Father, My Son, and all those who have washed their robes clean in suffering and martyrdom for My Son, or you will join in the kingdom of the damned--the darkness, the wailing, and the torture of heart, knowing that you are forever lost in the abyss." - Our Lady, October 6, 1974

MANY WILL BE MARTYRED
"Yes, My child, much blood will be shed upon the earth. Many will be martyred for the cause of My Son before this battle is over.
    "I have great hope, My child, great confidence that the armies of the light raised throughout your world will be able to go forth and reach the world with the truth, so that your generation can avoid the greatest part of the punishment that has been allotted, that will be given to mankind if your world does not turn from the evil and the offenses being committed--offenses that will not be condoned by the Father, for you have given yourselves, as a perverse generation, to satan." - Our Lady, June 15, 1974

IN THE FEW
"Many martyrs, My child, shall come in the days ahead, and defenders of the Faith. Carry your crosses, My children, for those who will be saved shall be in the few." - Jesus, November 20, 1975

NO MAN ABOVE HIS MASTER
"Many martyrs, many saints shall come after the battle. Many martyrs shall come from out of the battle. Pick up your cross, My children, and carry it, for no man is above his Master. As they persecuted My Son, so will they persecute you who follow Him." - Our Lady, June 5, 1976

CONFLAGRATION
"My children, My Mother has directed you well. Before the trials are finished upon your earth, before I return to you in triumph with all the personages of Heaven, your earth will be cleansed with great suffering. Many martyrs shall come out of the conflagration." - Jesus, August 14, 1976

GOOD CAUSE
Veronica - Our Lady now is rising very high up into the sky, and She's--now the sky is becoming very, very bright, very bright, and Our Lady is pointing upward with Her hand, and there is a tremendous white cross now forming in the sky. It's a brilliant cross. And now--it's a large cross, but behind it, I see many, many smaller crosses. They are also white. It's like a field, a whole field of crosses.
    "My child, you are observing many who shall wear the white robes in Heaven. Many martyrs shall be made, My child, in the days ahead. Many shall gain their crowns through suffering. It is truly the way of the cross, My child, to Heaven. Do not let a moment go by, My child, without using, without putting your suffering to good cause." - Our Lady, September 14, 1976

GLORIOUS
"Many shall be asked to sacrifice this body, My children, in the days ahead; but it is a fast and glorious trip over the veil, My children." - Jesus, May 13, 1978

GREATEST GLORY
"Do not discard your sacramentals as being outdated or outmoded. Know the insidious plan of satan to remove your armor from you so that you will not have the necessary protection for your spirit, your soul, My children. The world will look upon you and call you with laughter and mockery, fanatics. The world will point their fingers at you and say that you are deranged. But know, My children, that I, too, knew the mockery of My own. But know that the greatest glory of all is a living martyrdom for your God, for great will be your glory in Heaven." - Jesus, September 7, 1976

PLAN  OF  LUCIFER
"You will stand behind your Vicar. The agents of hell surround him. They will not remove him from the Seat of Peter. A greater punishment falls upon man should he be removed from the Seat of Peter! It is the plan of Lucifer to sit his agent upon the Seat. I have warned you many times that your ways have led you into great destruction.
     "The hand of God will fall heavy upon your world. For a man to let himself fall into perdition in his lay life . . . but when this perdition has entered into the House of God, it calls for a speedy and fast destruction! For all that is rotten will fall. Weak vines will break, boughs will be bent, but the cross of the living God shall not be bent by the will of man and to satisfy the desires of a corrupt generation! No-o-o! For woe to those who promote evil in the House of God! They will be held accountable in full measure for the fall of the souls entrusted to their care." - Our Lady, May 30, 1973 

ANTIPOPE OF HISTORY
"My children, in the past My Church, My people have gone through crucibles of suffering, but I say unto you: My House, My Church upon earth is passing through a trial far greater than any in past history. Lucifer and his agents now are working with diligence and are most successful at this moment in their striving to topple the Seat of Peter and to place in Rome a pope that is the antipope of history." - Jesus, June 18, 1978

SATAN'S  AGENT
"The Holy Father will soon undergo a great trial. You will all gather round him and support him on his cross. You will not set up the machinery for the entrance of satan's agent onto the Seat of Peter, for when you do you have reached the beginning of the end!" - St. Peter, August 5, 1972 

SEEK TO DETHRONE HIM
"My child, how often we have sentbeen sent from Heaven to caution you of the days to come, to prepare you to defend your Faith. You will go forward as lights in the darkness, faithful and true. Defend your Vicar from those who seek to dethrone him and place upon the Seat of Peter one who is of dark secrets, an enemy agent from the abyss." - St. Peter, May 30, 1974

ADVENT  OF  THE  ANTI-POPE
"Those in My Son's House now receive final warning that they will not remove Our Vicar from the holy House of God. For to do so will set in motion the advent of the anti-pope into your House. You will not defile My Son in this manner.
     "All cardinals, all bishops will stop wasting their words and get down on their knees now. Satan is among you, and his agents are multiplying in the holy House of God. Many are selling their souls for the temporary pleasures and riches of this world. Pray, My children, pray much for those who have fallen." - Our Lady, September 7, 1972

There are 4 Things You Must Have to Survive the End Times:

1.) The Douay-Rheims Holy Bible...

"I ask that all who hear My voice will take their Bibles, and if they do not have one, search, but find the right Bible, those printed not after 1965, My children." -  Jesus, October 5, 1985
     "You must all obtain a copy of the Book of life and love, the Bible. Do not accept the new mods. Try to find in your bookstores the old Bibles, My children, for many are being changed to suit the carnal nature of man.  I repeat, sin has become a way of life." - Our Lady, October 6, 1992  
    "I must ask you all to read but a few short chapters a day now, the Book of life and love, your Bible. Knowledge must be gained for all the disciples of My Son, for you will be attacked by scientific minds. But do not be concerned what you will say to them when accosted, for the words will be given to you by the Spirit." - Our Lady, April 10, 1976 
    The Douay-Rheims Bible was published in 1899.  It is the official Bible of the Roman Catholic Church.  Almost all other Bibles have been rewritten by Satan.   See: https://www.tldm.org/directives/d33.htmhttps://www.tldm.org/directives/d415.htm and https://www.tldm.org/directives/d182.htm   If you don't have a Douay-Rheims Bible order it now!  (Order Form)  Yours and your loved ones salvation could depend on it. 
    Read the Bible cover to cover.  If you read 4 chapters a day, you will complete the whole Bible in 334 days.  I have read the Bible 2 times and working on the third time.  A 75 year old Baptism gentleman told me that he and his wife have read the Bible nine times.  Wow!

Insist even with obstructions, insist that your children always wear a sacramental. One day they will understand that they will repel the demons."
    On February 1, 1974, Our Lady said, "My children, know the value of these sacramentals. Guard your children well. You must awaken to the knowledge that you will not be protected without the sacramentals. Guard your children's souls. They must be surrounded with an aura of purity. Remove them if necessary from the sources of contamination, be it your schools or even false pastors."
