Bishop Pivarunas “The Vatican II Council is the “Great Apostasy.”
January 11 2015 ~ Holy family
Dear friends of the Faith.
As you can see by this article that bishop Pivarunas is eluding to Divine Revelation by quoting St. Paul II Thess: 2:2. Now, St. Paul and the Church teaches that the Great Apostasy is what brings Christ back. There is no turn around. But the Bishop and others contradicts this truth by using the private revelations of some Saints or Our Lady of Fatima in alluding to a restoration, a reversal of Vatican Council II. This is what is called Accommodate Theology. CMRI and other Traditionalist are notorious in mixing Divine Revelation with private revelation to please their cultist customers. Also since Paul VI approved these decrees that makes him “The Son of Perdition,” the Man of Sin and the first AntiChrist which CMRI and others deny. Jesus Christ expressed it as iniquity to the Jews of his time.
