'PETER IS HERE': UNTOLD STORY OF ASTONISHING SEARCH FOR THE APOSTLE

Why few know of Texas oilman, agnostic archaeologist and historic find

Published: 05/06/2018 at 5:25 PM

It’s arguably one of the most significant discoveries in the history of the world, accomplished by an improbable collection of characters through a complex series of improbable developments.

Yet few are aware of the find – for reasons that become evident as the saga is told – and even fewer know the whole story and the threads the players wove into the events of World War II and their influence on its outcome.

The discovery was the bones of the Apostle Peter, a scientifically verified find that was authenticated only recently under the leadership of Popes Benedict and Francis. The search also uncovered startling new evidence – hidden for nearly two millennia – of a thriving Christian community rooted in belief in the divinity of Jesus Christ at a time of intense Roman persecution.

The storyteller, in the newly released book “The Fisherman’s Tomb,” is perhaps as improbable as the story. Yet, like the characters, perfectly positioned.

John O’Neill is known as the face of the Vietnam swift boat veterans who many believe prevented John Kerry from being elected president of the United States in 2004. (O’Neill and the more than 200 veterans who came forward still stand by their story despite the establishment media’s boilerplate dismissal of “discredited claims.”)

O’Neill, a retired Houston lawyer, was co-author of the New York Times bestseller that rocked the 2004 election, “Unfit for Command,” the bible of the campaign of Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, and “The Fisherman’s Tomb,” is his first book since then.

This time, amid a cynical culture that disregards the claims of Christianity as myth, he endeavors to set the record straight and tell for the first time the whole truth about the 75-year search for Peter.

A skeptic himself by nature, O’Neill makes the case in a well-written, engaging, novelistic fashion, undergirded by his lawyerly reliance on reason and verifiable evidence.

It’s the story of a risky, top-secret endeavor launched in 1942 that never could have been accomplished without the help of a humble, enormously wealthy and generous Texas oilman whose lifelong insistence on anonymity and his belief that he was a partner with God in his vocation made him a perfect accomplice.

The Benedict Option: Christianity In The Brave New World

For me, the real point — and the most important Benedict Option point — is found in these lines near the end of Hanby’s speech

Even if there were an abundance of tolerance and good-will, there is little indication that the brave new world which we have ushered in can accommodate a Christianity which refuses to conform to its ideal of human nature and truth. The more urgent questions is whether we can resist the enormous pressure to accommodate ourselves to this post- human ideal.

Think of it this way. It’s not hard for Christians to imagine George Orwell’s vision of totalitarianism coming to bear on their communities from a hostile state. It is much harder for Christians to recognize the threat posed by the Aldous Huxley view of dystopia — that is, a totalitarianism that is welcomed by those enslaved to it because it makes them comfortable, and because they don’t recognize it for what it is.

Petrus Romanus: The Final Pope Is Here

An author who predicted Pope Benedict XVI would be the first pontiff in nearly 600 years to resign believes the election today of Jorge Mario Bergoglio as the 266th Roman Catholic pontiff lines up with a medieval prophecy that would make him the “final pope” before the End Times...

The 2012 prediction

Remarkably, Horn told WND, more than 60 years ago a Belgian Jesuit theologian and academic named Rene Thibault came up with the date 2012 as the culmination of Malachy’s prophecies.

Horn points to reports that Benedict made his decision to resign last year, before announcing it in February.

SOMEONE HAS GOT TO BE IN CHARGE

Like everyone, I am certainly taken aback by the Pope's abdication. The confluence of events happening right now is definitely frightening. But, I and many others have seen this coming for years. I knew we were in for big, big trouble with the usurpation by the Obama putsch regime in 2008. So, why be shocked now that it is coming to a head? I guess all of us have a little bit of normalcy bias and denial going on in our heads.

The papal abdication is very grim in my eyes. The precedent being set is horrible - the Pope will almost always be an "old man". If being an "old man" is a disqualifier, then ... who can be Pope? I have heard many conspiracy theories ranging from the slightly plausible to the patently absurd (shape-shifting lizard people, anyone?). Here is the BEST CASE scenario I can come up with - and bear in mind, I have no idea, I'm just saying this is the BEST CASE scenario: The Pope has been diagnosed with something that will eventually turn into dementia or some other form of incapacitation, and having seen John Paul II's descent into incapacitation and the vulnerability therein, B-16 is abdicating because he knows there is no one around him that will protect him in the way that he, as then-Cardinal Ratzinger, was able to effectively protect JPII from the nefarious actors around him - and we KNOW that there are nefarious actors very high up within the Vatican. This is why I keep harping and harping on the INFILTRATION by Communist-homosexualists. It is absolutely FOR REAL.

Again, what I have just laid out is not fact or knowledge on my part. It is simply the best-case scenario in my mind. Ugh.

For those of you who are harping on this as being "the end of the Church", um, you might want to go ahead and walk that back, because you are calling Christ Almighty a liar. What part of "and the gates of hell will not prevail against it" are we struggling to understand? The Church may get right up to the Gates of hell, but hell will never prevail. B-16 himself said a couple of years ago that the Church would become very "compact". I shudder at what he knows - especially after this. As I told someone not too long ago, so long as ONE valid Mass is said somewhere on earth per day, the Church will exist. The person I said that to winced and recoiled in horror. Yup. But remember, we have it coming. God knows we have it coming. Let His Justice be exacted. Whatever it takes to end this culture of child sacrifice and sodomy. This cannot go on.

On a personal note, the Petrine Primacy was the last hurdle I cleared in my conversion, and now it is a keystone in my faith. And do you know who explained it to me? It was my cattle marketing mentor, Bud Williams, who died just recently. Bud was not a religious man, but the Holy Spirit speaks through whomever it pleases Him to speak. Bud was extremely savvy when it came to management of PEOPLE. He was extremely perceptive and knew how to get the best out of people in the work environment. One evening, while sitting in Bud's living room, Bud began talking about feedyard management. I was in the process of converting to Catholicism, but was still not 100% sold, as I was still struggling with the whole papacy thing. As I was sitting there listening to Bud, he said one of the more profound things I ever heard him say (and that is saying something). He said, "When you are running a feedyard - or really trying to do ANYTHING involving a group of people together, SOMEONE HAS GOT TO BE IN CHARGE."

BAM. Like a punch in the face. I sat on that sofa with the word "PETER" pounding in my mind as Bud fleshed out his premise, and I absolutely knew that he was right.

It would have been utterly CRUEL for Our Lord to NOT establish the Petrine Primacy, and leave His Bride with no leadership, and thus total chaos. Not only did Our Lord establish that leadership, but He also sent the Paraclete to safeguard the Pope through the brilliantly subtle negative-protection dynamic of papal infallibility. And we know that it works because there have been six or so truly terrible popes in history, but not one of them ever made a false declaration on faith or morals speaking ex cathedra (that is officially, "from the chair"). The bad popes were too busy fornicating and scheming to ever bother with anything theological. So even the nasties never declared their own sins "licit" - which is utterly miraculous if you think about it, because that is the genesis of all of the heresies and schisms, like Luther wanting to have sex with Katarina von Bora, or Henry VIII wanting to dump whichever wife he was sick of and move on to the next concubine and have everyone applaud him for it.

Yep. I'm with Peter. To the end. Because Peter has the keys because Our Lord gave them to him, and Peter is the Rock because Our Lord said he was, and Peter loves Our Lord, and Our Lord loves Peter. Even if some of Peter's successors don't live up to their dignity. Remember, even Peter himself failed to live up to his dignity. He didn't fully unwind his betrayal of Our Lord until he himself was crucified.

Kyrie, agapo se.
Christe, agapo se.
Kyrie, agapo se.

First Black Pope? Sign of End Times? - UPDATE

I'm not sure these "reformed Christians" are right on spot, but this commentary does explain the current thrill going through the Catholic and Evangelical churches!

My husband says I was 'prescient' for posting this last April 15th!

UPDATE: Re: The first black Pope -- from The D.C. Clothesline: I’m Not Catholic, Why Should I Care Who The Next Pope Is? Because George Soros Does.

Alta Vendetta: The last Pope?

According to the prophecy, the next pope is to be the final pontiff, Petrus Romanus or Peter the Roman. Some Catholics believe that the next pope on St. Malachy’s list heralds the beginning of “great apostasy” followed by “great tribulation,” setting the stage for the imminent unfolding of apocalyptic events, something many non-Catholics would agree with.

This would give rise to a false prophet, who according to the book of Revelation leads the world’s religious communities into embracing a political leader known as Antichrist. In recent history, several Catholic priests – some deceased now – have been surprisingly outspoken about what they have seen as this inevitable danger rising from within the ranks of Catholicism as a result of secret satanic “Illuminati-Masonic” influences.

These priests claim secret knowledge of a multinational power elite and occult hierarchy operating behind supranatural and global political machinations. Within this secret society are sinister false Catholic infiltrators who understand that as the Roman Catholic Church represents one-sixth of the world’s population and over half of all Christians, it is indispensable for controlling future global elements in matters of church and state. The dark forces seek to fulfill a diabolical plan they call “Alta Vendetta,” which is set to assume control of the papacy and to help the False Prophet deceive the world’s faithful (including Catholics) into worshipping Antichrist. As stated by Michael Lake on the front cover, Catholic and evangelical scholars have dreaded this moment for centuries.

Will the next pope be the last?

Jesus is not son of God. He is a Prophet of Islam.

Thousands of Muslims urge Pope not to visit Turkey
