A CARDINAL'S VOICE FROM PURGATORY

This article was published by Mr. AntonRuhlan, Rudolf-Diesel-Str. 5. 262Altoetting, Germany.

It is not unknown in mysticism that souls in Purgatory or in Heaven speak and appear to a living person, in order to pass on a message from heaven.

For example, Maria Simma of Sanntag (Vorarlberg) in Austria has been receiving visits from holy souls in Purgatory for the past 40 years. Even bishops consult her.

A German nun received the following messages from an eminent German Cardinal who has done much harm to the Church. He is lucky to be in Purgatory even though he is now suffering in its darkest corner.

Another message was given to her by her deceased father, and the final message comes from the deceased Anneliese Michel of Klingenberg in Germany who was possessed by Satan. -

July 27, 1977
Cardinal Doepfner visited me and said:

"Finally I, who betrayed the Church, diluted her teaching and even rejected some of it, can tell you by the grace of God:

"The Lord has honoured me with Highest offices in His Church. He selected me for the priesthood and to be one of his representatives. I followed His call. But how did I fulfill my vocation? During my first years as a priest, I tried to be a good priest. I cared for my flock and looked after it. As a pupil of the Jesuits one recognised my abilities.

One promoted me wherever possible. At first, I did not know why. But then it became clearer; one wanted to make me into something they had decided for me, i.e. to become a bishop. What high office and what great task for me at my young age! Where was my experience? But I let myself be guided by those who did not quite force me into this position but nevertheless sponsored me."

August 8, 1977
Monday evening at 9.30 pm.

Doepfner said suddenly to me: "I thank you for your act of love. " He had asked for 5 Holy Masses that had been said for him.

Then I saw him again, half seated, half lying, tanned like a negro. He wanted to speak but was unable to. His tongue was paralyzed.

"We blessed souls are in God. We can do nothing for these souls in Purgatory. You on earth can help these poor souls," said a deceased nun to me.

August 9, 1977
I heard Doepfner say to me on Tuesday, 10 pm: "Only the Tridentine Mass is effective. Throw out the meal tables. Bring back the Communion rails. "

August 10, 1977
Wednesday morning, 5.00 am; Doepfner said it again: "Throw out the meal tables. I want to go to the Altar of God: ad introibo ad altare Dei, ad Deum, qui laetificat juventutem meam. The demonic spirit enters with the meal tables. Christ would tip them over as He once did to the money changers and merchants. My House is a House of Prayer but you have made it into a den of thieves. Celebrating supper is egocentric, the cult of man. One administers to you from it the consecrated bread, the Holy Bread, pieces, because the words of the Consecration are often falsified. Communion in the hand is the result of it. The Tabernacle belongs on the Altar. Evil comes from the meal tables.

"The supposedly Christian Lodges dilute everything, destroy everything. The Lodge even compelled a Pope to celebrate Mass at a meal table. We (Freemasons. Ed.) gave him no alternative. The Pope (Paul VI. Ed.) is a puppet. The false pope is a demon."

I asked: "An actor?"

He replied: "A demon is an actor; he copies everything. Sometimes, he appears as a false pope. I became a Lodge member after World War II in 1947: the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem. Hitler did not permit it during his time."

I asked: "How come that you were saved?'

"I began to distance myself from them spiritually. This was my salvation, my last chance. Give to God what belongs to God, and to the emperor what belongs to him. Separate State from Church. The Concordat (between Hitler and the Vatican. Ed) should be renounced. It is a contract with Hitler, the antichrist. No compromises! No concessions for offending God's Laws!"

August 11, 1977
Friday morning, 8.00 am. Doepfrer: "Tell him (the priest who had said the Holy Masses for him. Ed) to continue and include me in the Holy Sacrifice of Mass and in his prayers.

At 10.30 am I saw him again in a lying position. Suddenly he said: "You must deliver me from my misery. "I asked: "How am I able to do this?"

"With the help of the Marian movement of Priests. This movement is God's Will, the Will of the Triune God. The Marian Movement of Priests is also to help suffering priests, bishops and popes." Finally he said: "I won't let go of you until I have told you the last chapter of my life. You, too, have contributed to my salvation."

"But I did nothing special."

"Your hidden life, your seclusion, your prayers, sacrifices, etc. are of immense value to God."

Then he said that he had been a simple priest, pure, no affairs with women, but he emphasized that he had been very ambitious. He had always followed orders, never acted on his own authority.

August 12, 1977
Friday morning, 7.00 am: "If I could return to earth again, I would be the first to join the Marian Movement of Priests. "

When I prayed: 'God have mercy on me poor sinner, ' he said suddenly: "If mankind knew what sin realty is it would do penance dressed in a sackcloth, kneeling in ashes. Look up to God, not to humans! My honour was more important to me than God. I was so very blind.

August 13, 1977 .
Saturday, 11.30 am: "One wants to throw out everything that is sacred, as with Luther. Martin Luther did not expect the consequences. If you give them a small finger, then they want everything!"

At 2.00 pm he spoke again: "By their meal tables, priests have turned away from the Altar, from the Cross. Throw out the meal tables. This blasphemy is crying to Heaven. But not for long. Our Lord will intervene."

10.00 pm: "My guilt is gigantic. I believed my seducers. The Roman Curia is a beast. It devours what it can devour."

I asked: "What seducers?"

"Jesuits! One ought to eradicate them, but not all of them. They have their hands in everything, everywhere 

When I began to recite the Rosary, he said: "How lucky you are that you are still able to pray. We can do nothing but suffer."

August 14, 1977
Sunday morning, 7.00 am: "Yes, one should eradicate these seducers. "

On Sunday evening, 11.00 pm: he suddenly gave me his fall name: "Julius Doepfner, I must atone for the musical Ave Eve. I have greatly offended the Mother of God. "

August 15, 1977
Monday, Mary's Ascension into Heaven, 7.00 am: "Your brothers walk the path of righteousness. It is the path of Truth. One fights against it. The acknowledged Truth is not acceptable. But the day will come when the false shepherds and prophets will have to surrender. One sees, and does not want to see; one hears, and does not want to hear. I was one of them. As I was the Primate of Germany, presiding at the Vatican Council, having been the chairman of the Episcopal Conferences, I was the first to be taken away by Our Lord, and being the first one I must suffer and do penance. Oh what agony, what pain!"

During the sermon at Holy Mass, the priest spoke of Doepfner and his achievements, the Vatican Council, etc. and quoted the first words of Doepfner's last speech, which had been recorded on tape.

Suddenly Doepjner said to me: "One wants to make me a saint out of me because of my last words, and I sit here and suffer."

At the end of Holy Mass he repeated again: "One wants to make a saint out of me, and I suffer, suffer, suffer."

Towards midnight, he suddenly spoke again: "I shall reveal things to you of which you have no idea. You can only attain the peace of Christ through a heavy Cross. We bishops flung away the Cross from us, traitors and opponents of the Teaching of Christ, Wolves in sheep's clothing."

When I called him 'Sir' he replied: "I am no Sir, I am only a, poor soul." He then explained to me why he had to appear to me as a negro "because I worked underground with the spirits of Darkness, was a traitor of the Teaching of Christ in the Darkness; I was a heathen."

August 16,1977
Thursday, 10.00 am: "I must carry the heavy Cross now, for the peace, of Christ can only be attained by a heavy Cross. Everything that God has revealed is the Truth. There is a Heaven, a Purgatory, and a Hell, God is clement and just."

August 17, 1977
In the morning, at 9.00 am, he demanded 3 Holy Masses in honour of the Mother of God as a penance for the musical Ave Eve. Towards 10.00 am he said: "Everything must be paid for, to the last cent. Nothing unclean can exist before God: "

August 18, 1977
In the evening at 6.00 pm, I said the Joyful Rosary. When I had reached my 4th decade, he said. "I am Julius Doepfner. Heaven is closed to me. I must reveal myself to you."

I then saw the darkness that surrounded him. He said: "Yes, I am surrounded by darkness. I am at almost drowning in this darkness. Only a ray of light now and then. I assisted in the creation of darkness for the Church and, therefore, also for mankind. What great guilt I have committed. And yet I am still saved. Saved by the removal of my spirit from the powers of darkness. God was merciful to me. But I have been placed into a darkness as never before. God takes no notice of one's outside appearance, a mask, but only of the true face. Only the pure spirit can exist before God. I must be silent now; Our Lord wants it."

September 3, 1977
Saturday, 10 pm: "My tongue has ~ to you again. We bishops are the slaves of our environment, our advisers."

September 4, 1977
Sunday morning, 7.00 am. 'It is true, the bishops are the slaves of their environment. "

"Why slaves?" I asked.

"Because they are civil servants and not shepherds in accordance with the heart of God."

When I asked about Anneliese Michel (it had been reported that Cardinal Doepfner had been annoyed that Bishop Stangl had given permission for the exorcism), he said: "That is an awkward subject."

At 11.00 am he said: "One wants to get rid of the exorcism in the world. The powers of darkness are pressing for it. Now you can understand my opposition to the exorcism. Bishop Stangl is now being removed from everything because he, too, is a civil servant. Consequently others will have to do penance for it. God will show them who is the Judge of life and Death. The exorcism (Anneliese Michel) is the most dramatic one ever since the beginning of man. God will not be mocked! You will learn now why God permitted all of this. The dark powers to whom I also belonged, will be rendered powerless by it all as never before. Here, the sign is set which will cast the prince of darkness, together with his followers, into the extremist darkness. The Cross, i.e. those who carry their Cross, will be victorious, as Christ said, when He was raised onto the Cross. One must let God rule. The plans of darkness will always be thwarted.

"It is strange that people do not recognize the signs of the time. It is as if one wants to grab what can be grabbed. I am also allowed to talk to you about these times. Hurricanes and thunderstorms. They want to know fen the time of darkness is over. But the word of Our Lord is valid: you will neither know the day nor time to prepare yourselves for this hour. St. Michael, the Archangel, is ready with his armies, and has already hurled many a spear against the enemies of God. Therefore, it is so very important to obey the Spirit of Truth and Light. Yes, if I could once again be bishop on earth I would fight for the Truth. I would bear witness to the Truth just like the Apostles. Our Lord wants me to recount to you the dark periods of the centuries.

"The first three centuries were very hard for Christendom, but only on the surface. Christians were fought against and persecuted. But what beautiful fruits  they bore!

"Then came the fourth century. A heathen emperor Constantine, who was converted to the true Church only at the time of his death, ruled the Roman Empire. Little wonder then that he introduced Christians to pagan customs and traditions. He left the Christians alone as long as they adhered to his statues.  St. Helena was the Christian element. Christian religion! No, state religion in the meaning of paganism but not in accordance with the guidelines of the Gospel. This Constantine Empire gave Christendom a heavy push. There was no longer a shepherd and a flock. The papacy was subordinated to the emperor, to the state. Thus popes and bishops became servants of the state. And yet Christ said: 'My Kingdom is not of this world.' State and Church walked hand in hand, but the most powerful of them was the state. Therefore, the Church had to comply with the laws of the state. Look up what laws had been imposed on the Christians by the state. The bishops had become financial administrators; priests were their assistants; and the Christians had to give up the Commandment of Love, which Christ demanded of them, and had to enter into the service of the emperor. The arms of the Spirit was not sufficient of which St. Paul says: 'Put you on the armour of God that you may be able to stand against the deceits of the devil. For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers, against the rulers of the world of this darkness, against the spirits, of wickedness in the high places. Therefore take unto you the armour of God that you may be able to resist in the evil day and to stand in all things perfect. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of justice, and your feet shod with preparation of the gospel of peace. In all things taking the shield of faith, wherewith you may be able to extinguish all the fiery darts of the most wicked one. And take unto you the helmet of salvation and the sword of the spirit which is the word of God. By all prayer and supplication praying at all times in the spirit.'

"The armour of the Spirit was changed into materialism. If was now the equipment of the soldiers, of warriors, who no longer did battle for a spiritual kingdom but for a secular kingdom. Non-violence of the Christians was replaced by force. One returned to paganism: an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, instead of to remain loyal to the teaching of Christ: If someone strikes you on your right cheek, show him also your left one; repay evil with good."

September 9, 1977
Dr. P.F., my father, who died in January I960, had already spoken with me in the evening of Sept. 9, 1977,

Today, September 11, 1977, at about 3.00 pm, he dictated to me the following:

"My child, in my life I fought for the Church and the Truth. You know where this battle led us: into bankruptcy. Again and again the powers of darkness tried to get hold of me. They offered me places of honour and more honour, it bordered on a miracle that I escaped these people. I know who they were and where there tactics would lead. I had withdrawn from all activities. By the grace of God I was able to observe all of the sectors of the world and the Church, and finally take a look inside monasteries and convents.

"My child, your parents did not fight and suffer for you and the others for nothing. You, who were prepared to do battle for Christ and His Kingdom, had to walk a difficult path. A path that would end in nothing had Our Lord not made straight the path for you. Now listen what your father has to say to you today.

"Now is the time when the chaos reaches its climax. How often did I talk with you about it. You would have stuck like a bur to materialism had you not knowen about it. And today you would be a slave of materialism as many others in this world. I gave you what I could. But only when I came to my senses that all patriotism is foolishness and that each battle fought for it will lead to destruction, did I begin to walk on the right path of Truth. The Lord pointed it out to me through my son Josef when he suffered his worst misery, all alone among the mentally handicapped; but not all of them were ill who were considered thus. Yet my youngest sons recognized the Truth and fought for it. But their battle is still not understood to this day. There are hardly ten just persons on this earth who understand the Gospel and live accordingly. This is why you are called to bring It to this world. The princes of the Church, pope?, bishops, and priests do not want to know the basic concept and the basic Truths. The separation of state and Church is the precondition, in order to return again to the Truth. Spirituality and materialism cannot walk hand in hand. Spirituality must stand above materialism. The kingdom of the world and the Kingdom of the Spirit are like fire and water. Both are separated. A sincere and true unity can only be established when the true Sprit rules materialism, i.e. when materialism is subordinated to the Spirit. "Look! What a man!' Pilate called out when the scourged Son of God was presented to him wearing a crown of thorns and a mantle and cane to scorn and ridicule Him. Christ proclaimed the Truth to us; He suffered death for the Kingdom of his Heavenly Father, yes, until His death on the Cross.

"Don't be surprised, therefore, when you have to suffer for the Kingdom of God. Even the suffering of a soul can lead to martyrdom. But believe me, the suffering of these times cannot be compared to the infinite joys of the eternal blessing. We fought a good battle even if many a mistake and foolish act were committed in earthly life. The Lord does not concentrate on evil but much more on one's spirit, by which evil was created and how reparation was done for it. Our Lord can and wants to extinguish all our misdeeds if a sinner repents sincerely and changes his life for the better.

"You know, my children, that I was an atheist, who wanted nothing to do with the Church; I even ridiculed her representatives, did not respect them. But in my deepest heart I always sought after the Truth, until I met your mother. She was the woman for me, who combined clemency and firmness within herself; she was full of devotion and willingness to make sacrifices. It was she who persuaded me to study the teaching of the Catholic Church. And how quickly a Saul became a Paul. Light penetrated me more and more. And after my conversion, the Lord let me work and fight for the Kingdom of God. How many darknesses did I have to discover then!

"Mine was a continuous fight for the Truth. It was Cardinal Kopp who introduced me to the ecclesiastical life as well as to the secular one. A life for God and His Kingdom, and a life for the state. Both made defamatory statements about me, They also shouted at me, 'Away with him'  He is a dreamer. ' Yes, I was a starryeyed idealist. I would never have believe that I would find so much meanness, slander, and maliciousness among the clergy and Christians. Lies after lies; they even committed perjury. How could I still exist in such environment? Child you know what my last hope was.

"I did not join the Catholic faith out of love for my future wife, but as a result of my discovery of the Truth, I did battle for this Truth and Justice unto my death. Our Lord gave me a spirit and intellectual powers to such a great extent that I was able to quickly comprehend every one of my duties, and to fight for it. Law and justice were always the starting point of my manifold activities. But how bitter is was for me as I always had to find out that this was not wanted.Only honours and promotion to higher positions were the A and O of the supposedly social, charitable ecclesiastical administrators.

"Yes, my child, life on earth has many ups and downs. You know how the Lord removed me little by little from everything. We had no permanent home. Time and again we had to move to a different flat. Yes it has not been an easy journey on earth. But it was a rewarding journey, in order to gain possession of the eternal goods."

I spoke with you repeatedly after my death. It was only to support you on your way which you have to walk."
