“I saw many good pious Bishops; but they were weak and wavering, their cowardice often got the upper hand”

“I saw the Holy Father surrounded by traitors and in great distress about the Church. He had visions and apparitions in his hour of greatest need. I saw many good pious Bishops; but they were weak and wavering, their cowardice often got the upper hand … Then I saw  darkness spreading around and people no longer seeking the true Church.”

Anne Catherine Emmerich – July 1820
