Evidence for the REAL Third Secret:

imposter pope"The Deception of the Century"

"I have warned you that there are three popes now in the city of Rome [Villot, Casaroli, and Benelli]. They have, I repeat, brought forth an impostor, while they have laid low Pope Paul VI, your true Father. It is the deception of the century!" - Our Lady of the Roses, October 2, 1975

"How I warned and warned that satan would enter into the highest realms of the hierarchy in Rome. The Third Secret, My child, is that satan would enter into My Son's Church." - Our Lady of the Roses, May 13, 1978

"Satan, Lucifer in human form, entered into Rome in the year 1972. He cut off the rule, the role of the Holy Father, Pope Paul VI." 
- Our Lady of the Roses, September 7, 1978

(Note: The real Third Secret, as revealed by Our Lady of the Roses, indicates that satan entered into the highest realms of the hierarchy of the Vatican beginning in the year 1972. The following is yet more evidence of this satanic presence and power operating within the Vatican, and that the principal target for satan's attack is the Pope himself, even to this day).

Paul VI: the Pope of 1972
One of the most startling revelations of Our Lady of the Roses was the message concerning "the deception of the century," in which an actor was substituted for Pope Paul VI in certain public appearances beginning around the year 1975. Sound incredible?  There is an astonishing amount of evidence for this claim: photos, voice prints, testimonials of pilgrims in Rome who witnessed this fact themselves, a reported exorcism in Switzerland, and Our Lady of the Roses apparitions in New York.

Sister Lucy tried to warn Pope Paul VI
On May 13, 1967, after a Mass celebrated in front of the basilica in Fatima, Portugal, Sister Lucy approached Pope Paul VI and requested, "I want to have a private conversation with you." She repeated this request many times. Obviously, Sister Lucy had an important message for him. But Pope Paul VI refused her request and replied, "See, it is not the moment." 
      Sister Lucy withdrew. Pope Paul VI got up and turned towards the statue of Our Lady of Fatima, trying to place a silver Rosary between Her hands. As he could not reach them, he deposited the Rosary at the statue's feet. 
     The crowd shouted: "Lucia, Lucia, Lucia!" Then Bishop Hnilica led Sister Lucy onto the front of the podium. When the hundreds of thousands of pilgrims saw Sister Lucy near the Pope, they applauded.  But TV reporters and hundreds of cameras recorded a stunning event: Sister Lucy was crying.  Why?

Bayside apparitions: Pope Paul VI was the Pope of Jacinta's vision
Of the three children seers of Fatima, only little Jacinta was privileged with a vision of the Pope mentioned in the Third Secret.  The description of this vision was recorded by Sister Lucy in her Memoirs. The "message of Jacinta" is alluded to in the Bayside apparitions:

"I ask you again to pray for your Holy Father [Pope Paul VI] in Rome.  He is very ill.  He needs many prayers, for he is being crucified by his own.  He is truly the little one in the message of Jacinta.” (Our Lady, June 1, 1978)  Read more on Jacinta's vision...

Jacinta - "Yes, I tried to warn everyone of what was going to happen to the world of the future.  Our Lady said that the little Father in Rome would suffer great persecution, but much of this persecution would come from his very own, those that he trusted.  That is why the picture* was given to you to send the message throughout the world." (Jacinta, June 8, 1974)

Pope Paul VI: "man will destroy him now...."
Jacinta -
"I come to tell you of the poor Holy Father. I cried much for him. We love him. But man will destroy him now…. I gave you the picture. I wrote on your picture. I did not know how to write much on earth, but I wrote. Our Father showed me how to write. Won't you give everyone my picture? I want them to remember what I tried to tell them.” (February 1, 1973)

Pope Paul's plea for help
On June 29, 1972, Pope Paul VI stunned the world with the words: "From some fissure the smoke of satan entered into the temple of God." The Bayside message of September 28, 1978 referred to Paul VI's statement: “Listen to your Vicar who stated that the smoke of satan had entered My Church. Did he have pride when he brought this knowledge to you? No! He asked for help. And what did you do? You turned away and widened the door for satan to enter!” (Jesus, September 28, 1978)

Pope Paul's plea went unheeded and he entered into a martyrdom that would endure for years.

"There is great darkness in My Son's House; many have sold their souls to reach the head. Your Vicar will soon join the increasing list of martyrhood." 
- Our Lady, July 15, 1972

"And I say unto you: because of your lukewarmness and your loss of faith, you Vicar shall be given in sacrifice for the sins of mankind." 
- Jesus, December 31, 1976  

"The enemy has a well-founded plan"
Already in 1971, Our Lady warned that there was a plot against Pope Paul's life: "Your Vicar, your father on earth, will need your consolation. He is much grieved, My children, by the disobedience about him. There are many who are already plotting against his life." (Our Lady, September 14, 1971).  Our Lady's message also mentioned a "well-founded plan" that had been devised against Pope Paul VI: "Continue your prayers and sacrifices for your Vicar. The enemy has a well-founded plan to remove him from the Seat of Peter." (Our Lady, April 1, 1972)

What was this "well-founded plan"?  And what was really going on in the Vatican?

The impostor pope: "Common knowledge in Rome"
"It is common knowledge now in the city of Rome that there is one who has been impersonating your Vicar, an actor of great talent; one who through surgery has gained the countenance of your Vicar. It is now common knowledge, My children, and now there shall be a game of chess played. There will be bishop against bishop and cardinal against cardinal, for satan has set himself in their midst." (Our Lady, August 14, 1976)

Warnings from Beyond (transcript of a Swiss exorcism)
It’s a  literal text of the revelations made by these demons: Akabor, Allida, Judas Iscariot, Veroba and Beelzebub, during a series of exorcisms’ (from August 14,1975 to March 30,1976). The demons give great detail about the inside dealings with the imposter pope.  Read more...   https://www.tldm.org/News4/WarningsFromBeyond.htm

Comparison of photographs: Pope Paul VI vs. the impostor

Left, above - Pope Paul VI:  Long nose, reaching to the end of the ear lobe.
Right, above - the impostor pope: Nose much shorter in comparison to ear.

Note the prominent birthmark between the eye and ear of the true Pope (on the left, 1973 photo) and conspicuously absent on the impostor (right, 1977 photo). Notice the visible difference in the nose. Pope Paul has a longer, straighter, more pointed nose. The impostor has a shorter and rounder nose.

Left - Pope Paul VI:  Notice complete difference of ear structure with that of the impostor. Due to the tiny bone structure the ear is the hardest thing to change in plastic surgery—this becomes obvious in the two pictures.
Right - the impostor pope:  Notice not only the difference of the ear, but also the shorter nose.

Left - Pope Paul VI: Long straight nose—almost to the end of ear lobe. Ear is full and round.
Right - the impostor pope:  Nose is shorter and rounder—reaching only 3/4 length of ear. Ear is longer and not as wide.

(Note: Some have conjectured that this "actor of great talent" was the stage actor Parr.)

Voice prints (same exact words, different voice signatures):

Photos are only one type of physical evidence to distinguish identity. Other physical evidence includes fingerprints, voice-prints, medical findings, etc. In his Umsturz im Vatikan? (An Overthrow in the Vatican?), Kolberg presents further evidence for the existence of the impostor pope. Voice recordings of the Latin "Urbi et Urbi" speech of "the Pope" were made on two different occasions. The two recordings were passed through a voice-frequency analyzer made by Kay Elemetrics of Pine Brook, New Jersey. The output Type B/65 sonagram voice prints of the same words pronounced by the "the Pope" on two occasions shows that they they were made by two different men. 

"My child, your Vicar suffers much; he cries succor, My child. There are many Judases about him.
     "You must understand, My child, the message of some time ago. Yes, it is a fact and a truth that there is another who impersonates him and goes about having photographs taken. And there is a voice that comes out upon your air waves, a very good imitation of your Holy Father. It is all the master deception created by the evil forces that are seeking to destroy your Faith, My child." 
- Our Lady, March 18, 1977

Witnesses to the existence of the impostor pope: two testimonies of pilgrims at the Vatican
#1 - Mother and daughter saw both the real Pope Paul VI in 1975, and then his impostor two years later:
"When I told you that I had seen Pope Paul VI at a beatification ceremony in Rome in July 1975, I could not remember the last name of the founder of the Congregation of the Sisters of Mercy of Verone; it was Blessed Charles Steeb. I believe the date of the beatification was July 5th. We were only about 15 feet from him (Pope Paul VI) when he was carried out. 
     My daughter, Dorothy, and I saw the impostor pope in May of 1977 when we attended the Wednesday papal audience. She took a picture of him when he stopped about 4 feet from where she was standing...." (R.M.R., November 30, 1989)

#2 - An Immaculate Heart of Mary nun
Transcription of a taped statement made in October 1989 by Mrs. A.D.L. of Philadelphia, PA describing an experience of her sister, an Immaculate Heart of Mary nun, regarding the double for Pope Paul VI in Rome:

            "My sister is an Immaculate Heart nun. And for the past ten years she has been stationed in the summertime down at Stone Harbor, their retreat house, which seems like an act of God, because she believes in Bayside. It used to be she would be sent to some parish up in New York or something to teach CCD in the summertime. She wouldn't see any of the other nuns. But since she's been down at the shore she gets to see almost all the two thousand nuns that come down there for their vacation and retreat.
            "So she has spread the message of Bayside to a lot of them, and quite a few believe. She even gave it to the Mother Superior, and she used to ask her to read them to her when she would be driving home, you know....

            "Well anyway, back to the other story. So she told a lot of the nuns about the 'impostor pope' and such. And this one time she was in a little room. And she always gets messages from me and gives them to the nuns that do believe. And she was telling them something about Bayside, and another nun who does not believe—she had heard about it, and said, 'I don't believe that!'—she popped into the room, and she has my sister's book or something from the chapel. She said, 'Well, you left this book in the chapel.' She said, 'What are you telling them now?' So my sister told her, 'You'd never believe what I'm telling them now.' (Because she didn't believe anything else.) She said, 'What are you telling them?' She said, 'I'm telling them about the impostor pope.' She said, 'Oh, you mean two popes in Rome?' She said, 'Yes.' And she said, 'That I'll believe.'

            "Now this nun who will not believe anything else said, 'I will believe that.' So all the nuns said, 'You will believe that one, well how come you don't believe the rest? How can you believe that?' She said, 'Well, I was in Rome for the canonization of St. John Neumann.' And she said, 'after the Mass was over—it was said by the real Pope Paul VI; he was old and feeble. And after the Mass he started coming down the steps from the altar, two priests on either side of him helping him, and they walked over to the side of St. Peter's Square and went into a door on the side.' This nun saw them going in, and then she saw other people going in that door where the Pope went. So she thought I'm going to go in there too. So she walked over, went in this room, and she saw the Pope right in there. But she didn't have a little VIP badge on like all the other people did, so this guard came over and he said, 'Sister,' he said, 'this is a reception for dignitaries from around the world.' And he said, 'You don't have the right badge, so I'll have to ask you to go out again.'
            "Now she just saw him, Pope Paul VI, in that room. She walked back out on St. Peter's Square. She looked up, because all the people were looking up at the balcony. She looked up and she saw another pope, blessing the people. And my sister said, 'How come, if you saw this with your own eyes, the two popes, how come you don't believe in Bayside?' So—she's not enlightened, she doesn't have the grace—she said, 'Oh, all important people have stand-ins." So that was her explanation. She wouldn't believe, even after seeing it. But all those nuns in that room heard her say she saw those two popes."

(Note: There are other testimonials in Our Lady of the Roses Shrine archives, awaiting the investigation by the Bishop of Brooklyn).

Church exorcism in Switzerland
The following excerpts from a Church exorcism performed from 1975-78 confirm the existence of the impostor pope and several other subjects mentioned in Our Lady of the Roses message. Speaking through the possessed woman, the demons were forced to tell the truth by Our Lady under the Solemn Church exorcism, which was witnessed by the following priests, who have all expressed their convictions of the authenticity of the revelations made by the demons under of the order of the Blessed Virgin Mary:

Abbot Albert L'Arx, Niederbuchorten
Abbot Arnold Elig, Ramiswil
Abbot Ernest Fischer, missionary, Gossau (St. -Gall)
Rev. Father Pius Gervasi, O.S.B., Disentis
Abbot Karl Holdener, Ried
Rev. Father Gregoire Meyer, Trimbach
Rev. Father Robert Rinderere, C.P.P.S., Auw
Abbot Louis Vellard, Cerneux-Pequignot

All eight priests are Swiss, except Father E. Fischer, a German. All participated in the exorcisms except Father G. Meyer was was spiritual director of the possessed woman. Two other French priests also participated in the exorcisms.

Exorcism of January 16, 1976, disclosing the existence of a double of Pope Paul VI, in the Vatican:
Veroba: "You must say, in the name of God, that there is a double in Rome. He has a face which is a little different from that of the true Pope; his eyes are not so deep-set as the latter's. The true Pope is feeble and sickly. His eyes are blue, those of the false one are green. The false pope has studied theology. He is well organized. He is a good actor. He is not the only guilty one, the others, who set him up, carry the greatest responsibility...."

April 25, 1977
Exorcist: "Is the Pope informed about the cardinals? Has he investigated them? In the name of the most blessed Virgin Mother of God, tell us the truth!"
Beelzebub:  "He went into it a long time ago; he knows everything, everything, but he can do nothing. As we have said, his hands and feet are tied. He can do nothing, he receives injections. The doctor—listen carefully—who treats the Pope, is manipulated in such a way that the Pope receives certain poisons which are harmful to his head and to his mind. But in spite of that, he knows perfectly well what is good."

The mysterious betrayal of Cardinal Mindszenty

The story surrounding the valiant shepherd, Cardinal Mindszenty of Hungary (left in photo), adds another dimension to the usurpation of Pope Paul VI's pontificate. This saintly Cardinal suffered imprisonment and torture in his home country of Hungary, speaking out and trying to defend his flock first from Nazism and then from the ravages of communism. In fact, Cardinal Mindszenty suffered at the hands of the communists tortures lasting 39 consecutive days and nights, consisting of sleep-deprivation and every conceivable outrage. In 1956, as communism tightened its grip on the Church in Hungary, Cardinal Mindszenty was given asylum at the American Embassy in Budapest by President Eisenhower. The Cardinal languished there for fifteen years, unable to leave the building. Communist agents awaited him day and night, to assassinate him should he leave the embassy.

     On September 28, 1971 the world heard that Cardinal Mindszenty had arrived in Rome at the invitation of Pope Paul VI. He was received with real joy and tenderness by Pope Paul. The Holy Father embraced Cardinal Mindszenty and hung his own pectoral cross around his neck. They both concelebrated Mass and the Holy Father spoke of the Cardinal as "a guest we have awaited with longing ... a symbol of unshakeable strength rooted in faith and in selfless devotion to the Church."

     On October 23, 1971 Pope Paul VI again concelebrated Mass with Cardinal Mindszenty.  Pope Paul gave Mindszenty his own cardinal's mantle and told him in Latin, "You are and remain Archbishop of Esztergom and Primate of Hungary. Continue working and if you have difficulties, turn trustfully to us!"

     The Cardinal returned to his pastoral tours around the world. But on February 5, 1974, something unbelievable occurred: he received a letter from the "Pope" declaring the See of Esztergom vacant.  The Vatican announced to the world that Cardinal Mindszenty had "retired." The Vatican had lied to the world in a public statement. In profound sorrow Cardinal Mindszenty had to make clear that he had not abdicated, but had been deposed.  His Memoirs end with the words: "This is how I arrived at complete and total exile."

     The Vatican was flooded with protests and the free world's press attacked the deposition of Cardinal Mindszenty with fury. 
      Exactly what did happen? How could Pope Paul VI have betrayed his promise to Cardinal Mindszenty?  Did Pope Paul VI really depose Cardinal Mindszenty on February 5, 1974?  This is extremely unlikely, in light of a message given on August 21, 1974 (the "V" in the quote below represents Cardinal Villot, the Secretariat of State):

"V does much damage to the Holy Father by changing his correspondence. V rewrites his letters. V censors his mail." 
- August 21, 1974

"You cannot accept now what comes from Rome, for they do not come, these bulls, and these directions are not written by the pen of Pope Paul VI. They are written by the pen of Benelli and Villot."
- Our Lady, September 27, 1975

Was the letter sent to Cardinal Mindszenty on February 5, 1974 written by Cardinal Villot? Considering Pope Paul VI's tremendous support of Cardinal Mindszenty and his promise in 1971, this explanation would fit with Our Lady of the Roses message, and the real Third Secret.

Pope Paul VI was drugged
We also know that between 1971 (when Pope Paul met with Cardinal Mindszenty in Rome) and 1974, a lot had taken place. In the April 14, 1973 and September 27, 1975 messages, it was revealed that Pope Paul was being drugged:

Veronica - Now I am . . . Our Lady is taking me into a bedroom. Oh! I see sisters—they're nurses—in the bedroom. Oh, and there—I can see him in his bed—is the Holy Father. The nurse now has a needle, and she's rolling up now the sleeve. He has on . . . it looks like a robe, the Holy Father, and she's giving him a needle in his arm. He . . . and he looks very sick. Now the needle was placed into his left arm, into his left arm. Now as the needle is placed into his left arm, Pope Paul is reaching over onto a table near his bed. He's reaching for his crucifix. He's placing it across his chest. (April 14, 1973)

"Medication of evil has dulled the brain of the true Pope, Pope Paul VI. They send into his veins poison, to dull his reasoning and paralyze his legs." (Our Lady, September 27, 1975)

It appears that Cardinal Mindszenty's betrayal is one of many mysteries explained by the overthrow of Pope Paul VI's papacy.

"My child, I bring to you a sad truth, one that must be made known to mankind. In doing this, My child, you must proceed without fear. it must be made known to mankind. Our dear beloved Vicar Pope Paul VI, he suffers much at the hands of those he trusts. My child, shout it from the rooftops. He is not able to do his mission. They have laid him low, My child. He is ill, he is very ill. Now there is one who is ruling in his place, an Impostor, created from the minds of the agents of satan. Plastic surgery, My child, the best of surgeons were used to create this Impostor. Shout from the rooftops, he must be exposed and removed. Behind him, My child, there are three who have given themselves to satan. You do not receive the truth in your country and the world. Your Vicar is a prisoner.
     "Antonio Casaroli, you shall condemn yourself to hell! Giovanni Benelli, what road have you taken?  You are on the road to hell and damnation! Villot, leader of evil, take yourself from among those traitors; you are not unknown to the Eternal Father. [Read more...]  You consort with the synagogue of satan. Do you think you shall not pay for the destruction of souls in My Son's House?
     "The antichrist, the forces of evil have gathered, My children, within the Eternal City. You must make it known to mankind that all that is coming from Rome is coming from darkness. The light has not passed that way. The appearance in public is not Paul VI, it is the Impostor pope. Medication of evil has dulled the brain of the true Pope, Pope Paul VI. The send into his veins poison, to dull his reasoning and paralyze his legs. What evil creature have you opened the doors to the Eternal City and admitted the agents of satan? You plan to remove the Eternal Father from yours hearts and the hearts of those whom you seek to deceive. You scatter the flock."
- Our Lady of the Roses, September 27, 1975

Paul VI died August 6, 1978, at the age of 80.

"And as a holy Pope once told you before he died, he knew that the smoke of satan had entered into Rome and the Vatican. Well did he understand My visit to him, My child. The world has never known how close I was to your Vicar at that time, Pope Paul VI. Yes, My child, he was removed from the earth, also, with his impostor." - Our Lady of the Roses, September 14, 1985
