Bishop Anthony Fisher of Parramatta Diocese, Australia, Condemns Maria Divine Mercy

The following article 'Who is Maria Divine Mercy' appeared in Australian The Catholic Weekly news magazine in June 2014, and it contains one more important condemnation of the Irish seer. Contents below: 

By Fr. John Flader 

Q: A friend of mine is an avid devotee of a woman called Maria Divine Mercy, who gives alarming prophecies about the imminent Second Coming of Christ and other matters. I had not heard of her but her messages sound dangerous. What can you tell me about her?

Fr John Flader 
According to her website, the woman calling herself Maria Divine Mercy is a Catholic married mother of a young family living in Europe. It seems clear from those who have investigated her further that she lives in Dublin. 

Her website claims that since 2010 she has received more than 2000 messages from the Holy Trinity and the Virgin Mary. 

Before going further let me say that these so-called messages do not have the approval of bishops and should not be believed, as evidenced by a number of high-ranking bishops’ warnings against them. 

For example, as recently as 14 April, Archbishop Diarmuid Martin, of Dublin, issued the following statement: “Requests for clarification have been coming to the archdiocese of Dublin concerning the authenticity of alleged visions and messages received by a person who calls herself ‘Maria Divine Mercy’ and who may live in the archdiocese of Dublin. Archbishop Diarmuid Martin wishes to state that these messages and alleged visions have no ecclesiastical approval and many of the texts are in contradiction with Catholic theology. These messages should not be promoted or made use of within Catholic Church associations.” 

And, on 13 December last, Bishop Anthony Fisher, of Parramatta, issued the following statement: 

Bishop Anthony Fisher
Many of you might have received email or other communications from a woman who goes by the name of ‘Maria Divine Mercy’. 
Supposedly, she is a seer in receipt of private revelations from the Holy Trinity, Our Lord and the Blessed Virgin Mary. She runs a website called ‘The Warning’, the subject matter of which relates to the end of the world and Christ’s Second Coming.
“The messages and ‘revelations’ of Maria Divine Mercy contain theological positions that do not conform to the Catholic Church’s teachings, Scripture or Tradition. There are also historical errors. There is also a persistent animus towards various aspects of Church leadership, for example, the messages and ‘revelations’ regarding the supposedly illegitimate papal ministry of Pope Francis. 
“Maria Divine Mercy’s messages enjoy no ecclesiastical support or approval. The faithful should not take seriously the messages of Maria Divine Mercy. No support should be given to the dissemination of these messages or ‘revelations’ or associated material in the diocese of Parramatta.” 

Why have these bishops, and others, rejected the messages? Undoubtedly because some of the messages are contrary to Church teaching, disturbing and clearly not from God. 

One of the most absurd messages is that Pope Benedict XVI, whom she says God regarded very highly, was pushed out and that his successor, Pope Francis, is the anti-Christ! Pope Benedict was supposed to be the last Pope on earth and his successor would be a false prophet. But Pope Benedict made very clear that he was resigning freely, not under pressure from anyone, and Pope Francis was duly elected by the cardinals and is doing marvellous work for the Church. 

The messages also say that a great warning will appear soon and the Second Coming of Christ will follow shortly thereafter. The warning will consist in a collision of two comets, with the sky turning red and a cross appearing in the sky, which will be seen all over the world. 

What is more, the Catholic Church will be taken over by the enemies of God from within and this will lead to the greatest apostasy of all time. There will be a great flood and Europe will succumb to dictatorship no better than in the days of Hitler. 

These supposed messages are ludicrous and not worthy of belief. We do well to warn anyone inclined to believe them that they are simply untrue and not from God. We should tell them, and ourselves, to go back to reading the Bible, which is truly the word of God, and the writings of Popes and saints, which speak to us of charity, prayer, penance and hope, and give us a deep sense of peace and joy.

    1. Carberry doesn't distinguish between the Imposter and the Antichrist as the following message so clearly illustrates. The Imposter, the False Prophet are all slurs she has made of Pope Francis. One only needs to read more carefully to connect the dots. Witness she has even referenced he is the beast of Revelation:

      “The day when the deceit of the beast will be exposed for all to see will be a day no one will forget. For that day, as the world will see the imposter, the antichrist, rise with My Crown on his head – dressed in the robes of red – will be the day when fire will pour from his mouth. As the horror finally sinks in, fire will envelop him and he and all those who pledged allegiance to him will be cast into the abyss.” Mary Carberry, Nov.12, 2013

      Who is the impostor? According to Carberry, within three days after the election of Pope Francis, she gave him this ignominious title. The allusion to "dressed in robes of red" is more anti-Catholic rhetoric. This is all called hate speech and incitement to violence. Little wonder unstable types who have latched unto her venomous writing have posted on FB they want to punch out Pope Francis.

      Elizmary, if you are Catholic you should be defending the pope not casting slurs on him. As for casting "into the abyss", the abode of Satan it is a curse. The faithful are never cursed for obedience to Holy Mother Church.

  2. “Pope Benedict will suffer much . . . Then THE HEAD OF MY CHURCH WILL BE REPLACED BY THE HEAD OF THE SERPENT.” Mary Carberry, Nov.13, 2012

    “The serpent moves quickly now, as he will try to devour My Body – My Church on earth. Then all Christian Churches will be swallowed up and forced to honour the false prophet {We now know as Pope Francis} as THE RIGHT HAND OF THE BEAST.” Mary Carberry, Nov.13, 2012

    1. How did the early church father, Hippolytus, understand the Antichrist as it pertains to the image of the serpent?

      "For as Christ springs from the tribe of Judah, so Antichrist is to spring from the tribe of Dan. And that the case stands thus, we see also from the words of Jacob: "Let Dan be a serpent, lying upon the ground, biting the horse's heel." Genesis 49:17 What, then, is meant by the serpent but Antichrist, that deceiver who is mentioned in Genesis, Genesis 3:1. . ." (New Advent website)

      By inference, Mary Carberry most certainly did accuse Pope Francis of being the Antichrist. Therefore, Fr. Flader and the opponents of this charlatan have understood the import of her messages better than her followers. The irony is she is a type of antichrist in her persecution and calumnious campaign against Holy Mother Church.

  3. “What suffering ...by My beloved sacred servants... who have to witness the abomination in My Church on earth.” March 14, 2013

    A clear reference to the desolation of abomination described in Matthew and by the prophet Daniel.

    1. Again, you said it Paul, "THE WORDS IN THE HOLY BIBLE IS FROM GOD"

      I checked out your YouTube video and am happy to inform you that the confusion is in the translation from Latin. It is Jesus who called Himself "the Morning Star" to St. John the Evangelist in Revelation 22:16. Therefore it is not Lucifer the Church is worshiping but Jesus who is "the root and the offspring of David, the bright MORNING STAR."

      The correct translation from the Easter Vigil is the following:
      "Christ, that Morning Star, who came back from the dead, and shed His peaceful light on all mankind, your Son who lives and reigns for ever and ever. Amen."

      If you have a problem with that Paul Roman you have a problem with Sacred Scripture. St. Paul to the Ephesians declared Jesus "descended into the lower parts of the earth. He who descended is He who also ascended far above all the heavens." Eph 4:9-10

      So your proof is nothing more than a bad translation made in bad faith. Hope this helps you on your journey for truth.

    1. My identity is not important Paul. I am not selling "Books of Truth" or medals promising eternal salvation to anyone who wears one. I only point followers of Carberry back to sacred tradition, the Magisterium and obedience to the true Word of God as revealed by Jesus.

      What is important for all Catholics to remember is that Mary Carberry plays on their feelings, demands her delusions be treated with more reverence and respect than the Holy Bible or properly elected and ordained "servants of the Lord." Her voices, her delusions of grandeur, her mission, her titles, her writings all supersede the authority Jesus left to the apostles He appointed and their successors. Even a non-Catholic like yourself, "Roman" who professes sola scriptura should have recognized how many times she boldly contradicted the public revelation of God as written in the Bible. ie. How many were crucified on Mount Golgotha with the Lamb of God on Good Friday? On what day was the sacrament of the Eucharist instituted? Did the Holy Family spend the childhood years of our Lord Jesus making a world tour? Was Jesus really under the power of Satan during His agony in the garden and "doubt" who He was?

      In your own words, Paul no one is permitted to add or remove words from the Bible. So why do you defend the false prophet MDM?

      “Son of man, prophesy against the prophets . . . Say to THOSE WHO PROPHESY THEIR OWN THOUGHTS: Hear the word of the LORD! Thus says the Lord GOD: Woe to those prophets, the fools who FOLLOW THEIR OWN SPIRIT and see nothing. My hand will be against the prophets who see FALSE VISIONS and utter LYING DIVINATIONS.” Ezekiel 13:2-3; 9

HE CAN CREATE ANYTHING OUT OF NOTHING. NOT LIKE YOUR POPE FRANCIS HE BELEIVES IN BIG BANG AND EVOLUTION THEORY. HE BELEIVES IN DARWINIAN THEORY WHICH DARWIN IS ALSO MAN, CREATED BY GOD. POPE FRANCIS IS EXALTING HIMSELF ABOVE GOD. KNOWING EVERYTHING MORE THAN GOD. ANYWAY WHAT IS HIS CARE HIS GOD IS LUCIFER AND NOT THE GOD OF THE HOLY BIBLE. THATS WHY HE IS DESTROYING THE MEANING IN THE GENESIS. ONCE AGAIN YOUR WORDS IS BOUNCING BACK TO YOU.

  9. We agree. As you said, "IN THE BOOK OF GENESIS IN THE HOLY BIBLE. GOD CREATED THE UNIVERSE INCLUDING US OUT OF NOTHING."

    As for the rest . . . You take a literalist view of the Holy Bible. If you are so upset pope has twisted Genesis why do give Mary Carberry carte blanche to rewrite the Gospels? After all, the evangelist John was there. He gave an eye witness account of the life and death of Jesus. He took Mary home after the crucifixion to live with him as instructed by the Saviour. Do you really think all the apostles and disciples who went out to preach the Good News never bothered to listen to Mary recount her life with the Lord? If you have a best friend do you ever sit around the kitchen table and listen to your friend's mother share stories about his boyhood?

    To stubbornly insist Mary Carberry is a prophet of God is to dismiss the Gospels. You are in contradiction with yourself if you profess your faith is based on the Bible alone. It isn't. Choose one or the other. The Bible or the so-called "Books of Truth." Follow the way, the truth and the life or follow a blind guide who rides roughshod over truth, tradition and all norms of human decency and respect. Take no part in this work of evil. Put on the mind of Christ and forget her nonsensical babble.

    1. Sorry Paul but you have misunderstood the pope. Pope Francis has said nothing contrary to the deposit of faith. It is not the pope who got it wrong. The mainstream media got it wrong.

      What is important is this. Pope Francis challenged one of the basic tenets of the theory of evolution which teaches that the universe organized itself from happenstance, out of chaos. He clearly rejected the heresy of Materialism which rejects the transcendent origin of the universe and thinks that matter has always existed and believes that the interplay of this matter created the world, not God. Pope Frances said no, it did “not merely happen.”

      “God is not a demiurge or a magician, but the Creator who gives being to all entities. THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD WAS NOT THE WORK OF CHAOS, which owes its origin to another, but it derives directly from a Supreme Principle who creates out of love. The Big-Bang that is placed today at the origin of the world does not contradict the divine intervention but exacts it. The evolution in nature is not opposed to the notion of Creation, because evolution presupposes the creation of beings that evolve.”

      Above all, he challenged the culture of greed and death which either ignores God or has declared its independence from Him. Note how the pope calls God, the “Author of nature” and “the Creator” not once, but twice.

      “Then, although limited, man’s action participates in the power of God and is able to build a world adapted to his twofold corporeal and spiritual life; to build a human world for all – for all human beings, and not for a group or a privileged class. This hope and trust in God, Author of nature, and in the capacity of the human spirit, are able to give the researcher new energy and profound serenity. However, it is also true that man’s action, when his liberty becomes autonomy, -- which is not liberty but autonomy -- destroys creation and man takes the place of the Creator. And this is the grave sin against God the Creator.” Pope Francis’ Address at the Inauguration of Bust of Benedict XVI, Oct.27, 2014. Source: Zenit dot org

      In other words, we sin against God the Creator when we dare to take His place. Nothing there to prove your allegation Pope Francis is a Satan worshiper.

  11. Lets talk as brothers . you answer me from the hearth. how old are you and why are you so angry to MDM? Are you a priest a layman or ordinary catholic?

    ReplyDelete
  12. You have already admit that pope francis is wrong of his evolution theory. Lets talk purely on the dogma of the catholic church.You have the chance to see the mistakes of Pope Francis. As I observe you your only focus is to MDM. Turn around and examined your pope. everything he says and proclaim. does its for the good of the catholic church? Examine him dont be one sided.
