Understand The Times, International

Comment from Understand The Times:

A representative of Understand The Times has been to St. Peter's Chapel many times. He has observed perpetual adoration each time that he has been there. On several occasions, he was asked to leave the chapel where "Jesus" was being worshipped in a container, the monstrance.

When he asked why he was being asked to leave, the secret service who were monitoring the people, threaten him with not only words but also a hidden weapon.

When the representative asked if the pope knew what was going on, the security guard said, "What does it matter to you, you scum bag." When the representative left St. Peter's quietly, he was followed and asked to produce his ID. Luckily, the representative had forgotten his passport in his hotel room. He also left his wallet in a safe because he didn't wanted to get robbed while visiting St. Peter's. When he asked if he could see the pope to tell him how rude the security guards at St. Peter's were, he was told that the pope wasn't in charge at the Vatican any more.

"Who is in charge"? the representative of Understand The Times asked. The answer: We are not able to give you the answer at this time in history.

Article: Roman Catholic Church And The Last Days

A Mass of Atonement will be celebrated in St. Peter's Basilica in reparation for all sins against life, as part of a congress celebrating the 15th anniversary of "Evangelium Vitae."

Fischer explained that the encyclical "Evangelium Vitae" was the inspiration for this event, as it states, "Filled with this certainty, and moved by profound concern for the destiny of every man and woman [.] a great prayer for life is urgently needed, a prayer which will rise up throughout the world" (100).

The goal, he noted, is that a "large-scale urgent prayer for life should at last become a reality."

He affirmed: "Our hopes with this congress are to spur and foster such prayer activities so that a great movement of prayer breaks forth worldwide. This is what will break down the walls of lies of the culture of death and make the building up of the culture of life possible."

The congress will include various lectures as well as daily Mass celebrated in both the ordinary and extraordinary forms, the praying of the angelus and the Divine Mercy chaplet, Eucharistic adoration and confession.

The director spoke about his experience working with in Austria, where "we have five chapels of perpetual adoration in our Life Counseling Centers."
