#44 - Prophecy of the Papacy - A Pope in Prison




 
(September 17, 1877)

Marie-Julie Jahenny:

"At the foot of the mountain, in a rock, I see a solitary prison where is locked away a whitehaired old man whose face is shining. He wears a cross on his chest. Jesus receives and embraces him. He dries his tears and said, “For a long time you bear the cross, but soon I will return all your rights and your freedom!"

Note: There are no other details given with this text, but it could be a vision describing Marie-Julie's time as well as doubling as a future prediction.

On Septmber 20, 1870,the the armed forces of the Kingdom of Italy captured Rome. Blessed Pope PIus IX, the longest reigning pope from 1846-1878, (and who had white hair as mentioned in the vision), suffered the final loss of the Papal States that until then belonged to the Church for a millenia. Their loss was a tremendous blow.

In order not to show official acceptance of the government of the Kingdom of Italy over Rome, Bl. Pius IX called himself 'The Prisoner of the Vatican' and refused to leave it, a practise which was continued for the next 59 years by successive pontiffs in order to show their non-accaptance of this usurpation of the Papal States eventhough they were not forcibly imprisoned by the Italian army.

Following the example set by Bl. Pius IX, successive popes during these 59 years also refused to appear at Saint Peter's Square or at the balcony of the Vatican Basilica facing it, as the square in front of the Basilica was occupied by Italian troops. The 'Prisoner Popes' granted the Urbi et Orbi blessings from a balcony facing a courtyard, or from inside the Basilica, and Papal Coronations were instead held at the Sistine Chapel. The period ended in 1929, when the Lateran Treaty created the modern state of Vatican City.

Marie-Julie's vision could have been a prophecy of the formation of Vatican City in 1929, restoring the rights and freedoms of the papacy, if not yet the full Papal States.

However, it could also be a FUTURE PROPHECY about the ANGELIC PONTIFF and the full restoration of the Papal States as other mystics related a future pope will be held captive at the Vatican and the Great Monarch will release him when he comes to restore peace in Italy, which will also suffer from civil war. Once the Angelic Pontiff is released, he will crown the King Holy Roman Emperor.
