“I saw the fatal consequences of this counterfeit church; I saw it increase; I saw heretics of all kinds flocking to the city.  I saw the ever-increasing tepidity of the clergy, the circle of darkness ever widening.  And now the vision became more extended.

I saw in all places Catholics oppressed,

annoyed,

restricted,

and deprived of liberty,

churches were closed

and great misery prevailed everywhere

with war

and bloodshed.

I saw rude ignorant people offering violent resistance.

But this state of things lasted not long.”

(From the Life and Visions of Anne Catherine Emmerich: Vol. 2: Visions of May 13, 1820)

Read the entire vision here in the weblink below;

It’s too long of a vision to paste into the groupchat; (very similar to Luisa of Picaretta’s prophecies)

Catholic vatican approved mystic Luisa of Picaretta also got a vision of churches closing:

Here is the quote:

“**Ah! my daughter,

when I allow that churches remain deserted, ministers dispersed,

Masses reduced,

it means that the sacrifices are offenses to Me,

the prayers insults,

the adorations irreverences,

the confessions amusements,

and without fruits.

Therefore, no longer finding My glory, but rather, offenses, nor any good for them, since they are of no use to Me any more,

I remove them.

However, this snatching ministers away from my Sanctuary means also that things have reached the ugliest point,

and that the variety of scourges will multiply.

How hard man is—how hard!***

—Jesus to Servant of God, Luisa Piccarreta; February 12, 1918
