THE WORK OF THE DRAGON, THE BEAST, AND THE FALSE PROPHET
(The False Paralleling the True)

Here is a striking convergence of the date 1844 for both the Apostleship of Prayer, under which the Pope's Worldwide Prayer Network functions, and the beginning of the antitypical Day of Atonement, with Rome combining the work of the Jesuits with that of the spirits of devils, promoting the ecumenical movement in opposition to the High Priestly work of Jesus Christ:-

The Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network has launched ‘the Pope Video’ through which Pope Francis invites men and women of the world to unite in prayer for his intentions related to the challenges facing humanity. This global multi-media initiative builds on the network that has grown as the Apostleship of Prayer since 1844; its first statutes were approved by Pius IX in 1879 and its promotion was entrusted to the Jesuits as an ecclesial ministry of the Church throughout the world. Since 1929, the Holy Father has also given a specific mission intention to the faithful for their prayerful attention. In 1985, Pope John Paul II described the Apostleship of Prayer as "a precious treasure from the Pope's heart and the Heart of Christ." . . .

The Pope Video is one of the projects scheduled in 2016 to raise awareness among people of good will of all religious traditions of the issues that affect all of humanity. Visitors can interact with the community engaged in this initiative via its Facebook page, thereby reaching 30 million people in 10 languages.

The papacy is using the most advanced media technology to promote its cause. The video on the web page hyperlinked above emphasizes Rome's objective of unity in diversity between religions and peoples around the world.

Another video by Pope Francis addresses ecology:

The Successor of St. Peter continues to engage the world of social media with the second video developed and shared by Pope's Worldwide Prayer Network's video project at Apostleship of Prayer. Underscored with stunning visuals and a stirring soundtrack, Pope Francis reiterates his prayer intention for February asking men and women everywhere to pray in solidarity and in response to diverse eco-challenges facing humanity.

"The prayer intention for February comes at a crucial time for humanity, addressing an area where we urgently need to make changes," said Rev. Frédéric Fornos, S.J., international director of the Pope's Worldwide Prayer Network.

"The Pope asks us to unite in respect for creation and to act to preserve the natural world for future generations. We need a conversation that brings us together, because we are all affected by environmental challenges, especially the poor and displaced."

Helping develop the February video was the Global Catholic Climate Movement.

Tomás Insua, the global coordinator for the GCCM, said that the Pope's video "is a compelling follow up of Pope Francis' encyclical Laudato Si', reinforcing his powerful call to action to care our common home." . . .

The Pope's monthly prayer intentions for March, 2016, embrace a universal intention and an evangelization intention:

THE POPE'S MONTHLY PRAYER INTENTIONS March 2016

Universal Intention - Families in Difficulty. That families in need may receive the necessary support and that children may grow up in healthy and peaceful environments. . .

Evangelization Intention - Persecuted Christians. That those Christians who, on account of their faith, are discriminated against or are being persecuted, may remain strong and faithful to the Gospel, thanks to the incessant prayer of the Church. . .

Thus poverty in the world serves the papacy's purpose of ensnaring those who admire and wish to support Rome's promotion of charitable works. Focusing attention on the persecution of Christians is a vehicle for evangelization and the promotion of unity. Rome disavows proselytizing. She does not need to proselytize openly. Her program of evangelization serves the same purpose without arousing antagonism, and her opponents are disarmed. She marches on towards the pinnacle of influence and power. This is truly a sign of the times.

Modern spiritualism began in 1848. The date 1967 marked significant movements in the "spirit" world, and the beginning of a period culminating in 1980, which signalled prophetically that probationary time for the nations had closed, and God had given them into the hands of Satan to work his will with them."
