(LifeSiteNews) — In the prophecies about the end times, two Old Testament prophets that never actually died, Enoch and Elijah, play an important role.
Lay theologian Xavier Ayral returns to The John-Henry Westen Show to discuss what Catholic prophecy says about Enoch and Elijah returning to earth, the invasion of Europe by Russian and Muslim armies, a great French monarch, and the “illumination of conscience,” where everyone will see their soul as God sees it.
You may remember Mr. Ayral, as he has appeared multiple times on the show before, talking about visions from heaven and the three days of darkness.
Ayral reveals that in a message during the approved Marian apparition of La Salette in 1846, Our Lady told two little shepherds about the return of the prophets Enoch and Elijah to earth in the times of the Antichrist.
“Behold, Enoch and Elijah filled with the spirit of God,” the message reads.
“They will make great progress by virtue of the Holy Spirit and will condemn the diabolical errors of the Antichrist.”
“Enoch and Elijah will indeed be put to death [by the Antichrist].”

“The entire universe will be hit with terror, and many will let themselves be seduced because they haven’t adored the true Christ living amongst them.”
After a period of terrible chastisement upon the earth, the Antichrist “will be mortally smothered by the breath of Saint Michael the Archangel” and “be engulfed forever within the eternal depths of hell.”
“Then water and fire will purify the earth and will consume all the works of pride of men. And everything will be renewed. God will be served and glorified.”
Ayral also talks about the prophecies that foresee a large war breaking out in Europe, in which Russian and Muslim armies will invade the continent.
The president of the Pontifical Academy for Life (PAV) has described assisted suicide as sometimes being the “greatest common good concretely possible” contrary to the Catholic Church’s strenuous condemnation of the practice.
This betrayal of the Catholic faith by Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia is not for the first time, with the PAV repeatedly causing scandal under his watch by:
- recently appointing a notorious pro-abortion atheist to the organization
- claiming contraception and artificial insemination are sometimes acceptable
- insisting that priests could accompany people through assisted-suicide, and
- that Italy’s pro-abortion law is a “pillar” of the country’s social life.

“Personally, I would not practice suicide assistance,” Archbishop Paglia told an Italian journalism conference last week, “but I understand that legal mediation may be the greatest common good concretely possible under the conditions we find ourselves in.”
Accepting an anti-life Italian court ruling that specified when assisted-suicide is permitted, the archbishop claimed “it is not to be ruled out that in our society a legal mediation is feasible that would allow assistance to suicide under the conditions specified by Constitutional Court Sentence 242/2019…”
From the outset of his presentation in Perugia, Paglia also undermined the authority of the Catholic Church on matters of faith and morals, stating: “First of all, I would like to clarify that the Catholic Church is not that it has a ready-made, prepackaged package of truths, as if it were a dispenser of truth pills.”

The PAV issued a statement on Monday trying to clarify the archbishop’s remarks, insisting that Paglia “reiterates his ‘no’ towards euthanasia and assisted suicide, in full adherence to the Magisterium”.
However, far from denouncing Paglia’s words, the PAV unsurprisingly supported its president. Referencing the Italian court ruling which partially decriminalized euthanasia by outlining exceptions to its illegality, the PAV stated it was in the context of this ruling that Paglia had made his comments.
In this precise and specific context, Msgr. Paglia explained that in his opinion a ‘legal mediation’ (certainly not a moral one) in the direction indicated by the Sentence is possible, maintaining the crime and the conditions under which it is decriminalized, as the same Constitutional Court has asked Parliament to legislate.
The PAV’s fudging of the issue was met with consternation from several Catholic commentators, with liturgist Matthew Hazell, who had highlighted Paglia’s original comments, asking “How hard is it for the @PontAcadLife to just say ‘sorry’ for scandalising the faithful? Indeed, how hard is it to actually adhere to the teaching of the Church on life issues? Are you so incapable of reading the signs of the times & interpreting them in the light of the Gospel?”
The Pontifical Academy for Life has tried & failed to explain @monspaglia‘s remarks. Paglia had spoken about the “accompaniment” needed for the dying, saying “in this context, it is not to be ruled out that in our society a legal mediation is feasible …” https://t.co/C3LU601aA2

Sorry guys, not good enough. Nowhere near good enough.
Archbishop Paglia’s “opinion” on the possibility of “juridical mediation” regarding euthanasia is still contrary to the Catholic faith, as has been explained already. https://t.co/qMATq0UZrL pic.twitter.com/W8s4zLvkj7— Matthew Hazell (@M_P_Hazell) April 24, 2023
Archbishop Paglia’s comments about assisted suicide being “feasible” are wrong and harmful. It’s the kind of “crack in the wall” that opponents of human life will run with to promote their agenda. The teaching of the Church is clear: Euthanasia is “morally unacceptable.” Period.

SIGN: Abp. Paglia’s presidency of the Pontifical Academy for Life is untenable
It’s vital that the Church and PAV push back against the culture of death, rather than trying to accommodate it and accept a world that where the vulnerable are helped to kill themselves.
Be part of pushing back against the tide and making it clear that there is no room for confusion or betrayal when it comes to the sanctity of human life and the infallibilty of Catholic teaching on the matter.

“The Russians move forward towards the Rhine, the Muslims will take over and will disembark in southern Italy, in southern France, in the coastal zone of Spain, in Andalusia, in southern Spain, the Spaniards, the French, the Italians would be overwhelmed.”
According to prophecy, the Russians will invade France and take Paris after 45 days of combat. Then, a “great monarch” will rise who “will be the direct descendant of King Louis the 16th and of Marie Antoinette,” the last King of France before the French Revolution in 1789. Under this King’s leadership, France “will push back [the Russians] miraculously with inferior forces.”
This French monarch will team up with the King of Spain and retake Italy and the “throne of Peter” from the Russians and a holy “angelic pope” will be elected.
“At that moment, there will be a rebirth of the Catholic Church, but not before this chastisement that eventually could befall humanity if it doesn’t return in time to God,” Ayral says.

Moreover, shortly before this war breaks out in Europe, there will be “illumination of conscience … where every human soul will be granted … the gift to see the state of his or her own soul the way God sees it,” Ayral explains.
“It will be a Pentecost at this time, not just reserved to the 12 Apostles and to the Blessed Virgin Mary, but to every single human being around the world, whether he’s Catholic or Anglican or Jewish or Muslim or Gnostic,” he says.
“So at that moment, the lines of confession will be endless,” he continues. “People will confess. People will return to God and there will be complete massive conversions.”
“However, at the end of the six weeks, this is when the devil will be released with pure rage and anger. And he will begin with a tactic involving an elite, unifying the scientific community with a political commitment to the world.”
