From St John's Valdaosta, a quotation from Blessed Anna Katherina Emmerich:
"I saw a Pope who was at once gentle and very firm... I saw a great renewal, and the Church rose high in the sky."Robert Kumpel asks whether Pope Benedict is the Pope that she is referring to. "Gentle but firm" does certainly describe him well.
Robert also has extracts from Bl. Anna Katherina's vision of people wearing white aprons with blue riband and attempting to demolish St Peter's, marking out the lines of attack with trowels. His comparison of the masonic altar with the people's table of many Churches might be a bit much for some people but I have to say that I found it amusing.

I have to admit I hadn't got any further than thinking of the table altar as "Cranmer's Table."
The idea of it being masonic requires an altogether bigger leap of the imagination.
I'll have to go away and think about that one.
Yo, Fadder Tim, you want I should send dese guys to sort out dose guys or sumptin'? Da boys owe me a favor....let me know if you want em ta sleep wid da fishes or I should just have 'em rough 'em up a little.
What a 'rogues gallery'. And what are those aprons all about??? What are those funny little symbols covering the groin areas of these strange gentlemen??? Are they wearing bones on strings around their necks? Is this some sort of tribal 'thing'?? Weird. And I don't even want to know what's written in their book!
No wonder Blessed Anna has a splitting head-ache! Some vision. Yikes!
oops. I meant dese guys.
Would this finally silence those who think Pope Benedict isn't really the pope?
Fr. Tim,
One of my university lecturers seriously considered converting to Catholicism (from Anglicanism) in the 1960s and 1970s, but became disillusioned by the liturgical changes after Vatican II. He said to me once that modern Catholic churches with their architecture and vernacular liturgies reminded him of masonic lodges...
