"It is granted to few to recognize the true Church amid the darkness of so many schisms and heresies, and to fewer still so to love the truth which they have seen as to fly to its embrace." -St. Robert Bellarmine "The Hostage Pope", His Holiness, Gregory XVII Although betrayed by His Cardinals beginning on the day of His Divine Election, October 26, 1958 A.D., put under constant surveillance, a documented death-threat, and having absolutely no temporal arm to turn to for help- Pope Gregory XVII, by a near miraculous occurrence shortly before His "unforseen" death on May 2, 1989 A.D., did perform the proper actions to carry on the True Hierarchy (Mission) of the True Church.

He lives in another palace and receives only a few in his presence. If the wicked party know their own great strength, they would even now have made an attack. I fear the Holy Father will suffer many tribulations before his death, for I see the black counterfeit church gaining ground, I see its fatal influence on the public. The distress of the Holy Father and of the Church is really so great that one ought to pray to God day and night. I have been told to pray much for the Church and the Pope...The people must pray earnestly for the extirpation (Rooting out, destruction) of the dark church." -Prophetic Vision of Anne Catherine Emmerich (1774-1824 A.D.) Augustinian Nun, Stigmatist from the book, The Life of Anne Catherine Emmerich, by Very Rev. Carl E. Schmoger, C.SS.R, Vol. ii, pages (Ibid, pages 292-293) "In the Passion of Christ nobody stand up to say one word to protect Our Lord Jesus Christ. In the Passion of the Church, who stand up to protect the true pope Gregory XVII in Exile? Nobody." -Fr. Khoat Tran (written statement 05/20/06) A heroric priest [Fr. Khoat Tran] was able to locate, and have a clandestine meeting with the Hostage Pope, Gregory XVII- on June 14th, 1988. The following photo taken moments after Fr. Khoat privately met with His Holiness records this Historical event (see time stamp -lower right corner 88-6-14) (L/R) Picture of Fr. Khoat Tran, His Holiness Pope Gregory XVII, and one of the Hostage Pope's wicked captors, Msgr. Grone (June 14th, 1988 A.D., Istituto Ravasco Convent- Roma, Italia) Fr. Khoat had several audiences with Pope Gregory XVII, after this initial one. As he emerged from the meeting with Pope Gregory XVII (where His Holiness confided to Fr. Khoat that his captors could kill him at anytime) Fr. Khoat handed his camera to a person who was standing in the room, and asked him to take some quick pictures. Again, this was right in the heart of enemy territory (i.e. notice the picture of Antipope John Paul II in the upper right corner). This Monsignor Grone- who posed to the world as one of the Cardinal's household (in fact his official Secretary) - was just the opposite. Fr. Khoat related later that he (Mgsr. Grone) was an enemy of de fide, whose duty it was to control Pope Gregory XVII. Grone adamantly tried to stop the picture from being taken. Note the look on his (Grone's) face, and the gestures he is making with his hands! It is fitting that Our Pope presented himself with dignity: he holds his hands to his cassock and stands firm. Also, look at his *eyes, closely (see excerpt of Fr. Khoat's sermon below). Pope Gregory XVII instructed Father Khoat to return later to the convent saying, "Come back here at eight o'clock tonight my secretary will be gone then." Fr. Khoat obeyed, and brought a trusted contact, Monsignor Carlo Taramasso, with him from nearby Santa Marinella (and eventually two more trusted witnesses were summoned: which included the well-known Italian prelate, His Excellency, Archbishop Arrigo Pintonello). The Historical Reality of Pope Gregorious XVII A Sermon by Fr. Peter Khoat Van Tran Click to view a video excerpt from this sermon Video scenes from the Mass (and Sermon) by The Rev. Fr. Peter Khoat Van Tran commemorating the Centennial Birthday of His Holiness, Pope Gregory XVII, (Corpus Christi, TX May 20th, 2006) "The Pope Gregory XVII come out to fulfill the message of the La Salette: 'Rome will lose the faith and become the seat of Antichrist.' The Pope Gregory XVII fulfilled the message, the prophecy, prophecies of the Fatima. You don't pray for the conversion of Russia, and Russia will bring the lot of error to whole world and Holy Father will suffer much. ...From the day I met Pope Gregory XVII, on June 14th 1988, I saw in his eye- and I never forget- the eye of suffering, the eye of sorrow, the eye of humility, the eye of love. His eye always follow me. Daytime, nighttime, whenever I wake up... I know he suffered too much. He suffered so much..." -Fr. Khoat (Excerpts from his sermon given in Corpus Christi, TX, May 20th 2006) "...you must labor and diligently take care that the faith may be preserved amidst this great conspiracy of impious men who attempt to tear it down and destroy it." (Mirari Vos, Encyclical of Pope Gregory XVI, August 15, 1832)

Then we must search for the papacy until we find it. Now at last, we know that the true pope was Giuseppe Siri. Finding him took so long.

Revelation of Maria Julia Jahenny (d. 1941) With Ecclesiastical Approval Universal Testimony of the Fathers of the Early Church on The Apostasy: "The apostasy of the city of Rome from the vicar of Christ and its destruction by Antichrist may be thoughts so new to many Catholics, that I think it well to recite the text of theologians of greatest repute. First Malvenda, who writes expressly on the subject, states as the opinion of Ribera, Gaspar Melus, Biegas, Suarrez, Bellarmine and Bosius that Rome shall apostatise from the faith, drive away the Vicar of Christ and return to its ancient paganism. ...Then the Church shall be scattered, driven into the wilderness, and shall be for a time, as it was in the beginning, invisible hidden in catacombs, in dens, in mountains, in lurking places; for a time it shall be swept, as it were from the face of the earth. Such is the universal testimony of the Fathers of the early Church." -Henry Edward Cardinal Manning, The Present Crisis of the Holy See, 1861 A.D. "Rome will lose the faith and become the seat of the Antichrist... The Church will be in eclipse..."
