[Video] Pope Francis at center of apocalyptic prophecies

Ah, but does Pope Francis fit into the prophecies of Garabandal? What happened to the three (four) Popes to precede the Warning? Did Conchita mean or even understand what she said and predicted? My belief is not shaken by these events because as Our Lady said many times, events, even chastisements, can be shortened or avoided by our and Her prayers to Almighty God, who is in total control.!!!

i don't know that i believe in this apparition anymore given that I am not even sure Conchita believes in it. When the new pope was elected last time and now this time it pushes me further from what I once held as true. It is a great disappointment for me because my departed Grandmother turned me onto this at th end of her life. It was a torch I used to carry a a bond in faith with her. As Jesus told us to be as wise as Serpents and as innocent as lambs I do have to keep my guard up. Besides even if Garabandal was a deception, it was a deception that back fired on the deceiver. I grew in my faith Because of Garabandal. That does not dispute the facts that certain prophecies were wrong. Garabandal was also not the first place were the message of a warning, sign, miracle, and chastisement sequence was called out. Still I would loved to proven wrong. I would feel closer to my long gone grandmother happy to know she was right. I want very much for Joey to see again. But in many ways he already sees far better than many of us do now . cheers. And good luck. Pray for those who question and don't be afraid to question either. Iron sharpens iron. Best, joe

UPDATE: THE CHURCH"S POSITION ON GARABANDAL

The magazine "Garabandal Journal" has updated some information regarding the village of Garabandal, the current Bishop and Pastor.
For many years, while never being condemned, the Garabandal events were under a dark cloud as some of the first bishops (but not all) opposed the events. But the tide started to change with Bishop Juan Antonio del Val Gallo (1971-1991). While he at first did not believe in the apparitions he took a more open position. In 1981, he became a believer and during his reign, he lifted the ban on priests going up to the village and allowed them to celebrate Mass in the village church with the permission of the village pastor. The next bishop, Jose Vilaplana Blasco, was a non-believer, but left in place the positive changes made by Bishop del Val. In 2006, he was transferred to another diocese in southern Spain and Archbishop of Oviedo, Carlos Osoro Sierra, was made Apostolic Administrator of Santander. The Archbishop, building on the positive measures taken by Bishop Del Val, allowed priests visiting Garabandal to celebrate Mass in the village church even if the pastor was not there (he ministered to a number of other villages and was not always in Garabandal). The Archbishop also gave visiting priests faculties to hear confessions.
In 2007, Ed Kelly from the United States, wrote to the Archbishop requesting the current status of Garabandal and received a letter from the prelate, under his own stationary and signed by him dated May 7, 2007, in which he said: "I respect the apparitions and have known of authentic conversions. In light of these events, how can we not always feel the need to open our heart to our mother Mary to tell her that we need her protection, help, spirit, desire, hope and love! I encourage you to continue maintaining this devotion to our Mother."
In 2011, two 50th anniversaries were celebrated in Garabandal (1) for the first appearance of St. Michael on June 18, 1961, and (2) the first vision of Our Lady on July 2, 1961. The celebrations were conducted under the auspices of the Santander Diocese represented by the village pastor Fr. Rolando Cabeza (also dean of the area). During the celebrations, another ban was lifted when Fr. Cabeza, spoke of the apparitions from the pulpit, and read the two formal Messages of Our Lady at Garabandal.
On May 6, 2012, current Bishop of Santander, Vecente Jimenez Zamora (installed in 2007) celebrated a Mass in Garabandal in commemoration of the completion of a restoration project of the village church. In a refreshments period after Mass, he was open and most cordial with all the villagers and visitors. On May1, 2013, the Bishop again celebrated Mass in the village church of Garabandal and prior to the Mass, kissed a crucifix belonging to villager David Toribio that was kissed by the Blessed Virgin at Garabandal. We don't know if the Bishop knew that but we suspect he did.
Bishop Jimenez's Masses in Garabandal were firsts, since no Bishop of Santander had ever said Mass in the village church from the time the apparitions began in 1961.
