The Centenary of Father Georges de Nantes’ birth

A hundred years ago, on April 3, 1924, Georges, Marie, Camille de Nantes was born in Toulon in southern France. He was predestinated in these times of the Great Apostasy foretold by Holy Scripture, (2 P 3:3-41 Tm 4:1-2, 2 Tm 4:3-4, 2 Th 2:3-5, Jude 17-18) to play an important role in the Apocalyptic battle foreshadowed in the Third Secret of Fatima. Venerable Sister Lucy of Fatima revealed in an interview to Father Fuentes in 1957 that this battle was already underway: “Father, the Devil is waging a decisive battle against the Blessed Virgin.”

From 1958 onwards, the lives of Venerable Lucy and Father de Nantes run parallel. While Lucy, who had been entrusted by the Virgin Mary in 1917 with the task of making Her Immaculate Heart known and loved, told Father Fuentes that her mission henceforth would be “to indicate to everyone the imminent danger we are in of losing our souls for all eternity if we remain obstinate in sin,” Father Georges de Nantes’ mission, on the other hand, was to denounce the diabolical disorientation at work in Holy Church, to defend the integrity of her doctrine. During the Second Vatican Council, he deplored the “self-demolition” of the Church that would be brought about by the heretical doctrines that the Modernist and Progressivist Fathers had inscribed in its very Acts. He went to Rome three times (1973, 1983, 1993) to present three different Books of Accusation against the heresy, schism and scandal afflicting the Church As a witness to the Truth, he called on the Magisterium of the Church to hand down its infallible judgement, and received nothing in return but rebuffs, suspensions, interdicts and disqualifications, but never at any time a judgement on the substance of the case.

Undaunted, from his cell in the Cistercian Monastery of Hauterive, Switzerland, where he had been condemned to solitary confinement by his bishop in 1996, he undertook once again to analyse, almost word-by-word, the major Acts of a Council intended to reform the Church. He wrote this book with a pen dipped in vitriol with no other concern than that of speaking the Truth. Sixty years after the Council, who will dare say that Father de Nantes was wrong? The secret of his extraordinary life, which traces a path of light towards Heaven, lies in his devotion to the Immaculate Conception. It was She Who, at Hauterive, saved him from despair and inspired him to produce, from the abyss of his dereliction, this most salutary polemical work of the century. Vatican II, Auto-da-fe is but a victory of the Immaculate!

Let us spend this Centenary year reading Father de Nantes’ final writing, “Vatican II, Auto-da-fe”. It is his definitive work in defence of the Catholic Faith, his ultimate tribute to the Immaculate, Our Mother of all, forever!

The Second Epistle of Saint Peter 3:4-8

Scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own passions and saying: “Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things have continued as they were from the beginning of creation.”

The First Epistle to Timothy 4:1-2

Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by giving heed to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, through the pretensions of liars whose consciences are seared.

The Second Epistle to Timothy 4:3-7

For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own likings, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander into myths.

The Second Epistle to the Thessalonians 2:3-5

Let no one deceive you in any way; for that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God.

The Epistle of Saint Jude 17-18

But you must remember, beloved, the predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; they said to you: “In the last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly passions.”
