TRANSCRIPT

Four hundred years ago, a young girl from Spain named Mariana de Jesús Torres, braved a tempest-tossed journey to the New World to meet a profound destiny in a convent in Ecuador. In tonight's In-Depth Report, Church Militant's Martina Moyski tells us more about Mariana's visions — just coming to light. 

Fr. Jim Blount, exorcist: "What I would like to do is jump backwards a few hundred years, and that is because I am completely enthralled with the approved apparitions and messages of the Virgin Mary to Mother Mariana Torres."

Near the end of the 16th century, a nun named Mother Mariana at the Convent of the Immaculate Conception in Quito, Ecuador experienced numerous apparitions.

In one vision, the convent chapel where Mariana was praying became immersed in a smoky darkness. The tabernacle opened — and Christ Crucified emerged as He was on Golgotha. 

Mariana felt she was being chastised by what she saw. But she heard God say: "You are not to blame. The chastisement will be for the 20th century! I will punish heresy, blasphemy and impurity." 

Fr. Blount: "The message is aimed at our time."

In another vision the Blessed Mother — holding the Christ Child — appeared, lamenting that in the future "innocence will almost no longer be found in children, nor modesty in women." 

Mariana was tortured by these visions.

Fr. Blount: "Our Lady asked Mother Mariam whether she'd be willing to pray and suffer for the people of the 20th century and of these times, and Mother said yes."

The Blessed Virgin also predicted the attacks on the sacraments — baptism and confirmation would be ignored, the Holy Eucharist profaned, marriage attacked, last rites prohibited and Holy Orders defiled.

"Woe to the religious in the 20th century! They will tremble before the dread judgment of God," the Blessed Mother warned. 

Fr. Blount: "Our Lady even told Mother Mariana that the message of Our Lady of Good Success would remain hidden for several hundred years and only come out to the general public at the time of its fulfillment, and now it's coming out everywhere." 

And in a final vision, the nun saw the sanctuary light go out at 3 a.m. while she prayed.

Fr. Blount: "And Our Lady actually told Mother Mariana that darkness would cover the earth."

The Blessed Mother predicted a "corruption of customs":

And after the middle of the 20th century, a great immorality will invade the clergy, and priests will become unworthy of their office. The priests left to uphold the Church will be persecuted. And the innocence of children will be targeted to achieve the corruption of the world. 

Fr. Blount: "Just when it appears everything is lost, Mama said, 'I will come down from Heaven with my Son and I will chain Lucifer. We will cast him into Hell.'"

The last prophesy of Our Lady of Good Success — as she's come to be known — and the only one not yet realized is that after a "horrible night," the Church will be restored and the tyranny of the Devil will end.

Last year — because of the pandemic — a Rosary procession held in Quito every year on Feb. 2, the Feast of Our Lady of Good Success, was canceled. But the faithful men and boys of St. Louis de Montfort Academy in Pennsylvania rescued Our Lady's legacy — picking up the tradition and processing in her honor.

Tax law may include preborn babies

WASHINGTON (ChurchMilitant.com) - Republicans are pushing for pro-family tax legislation that would recognize the humanity of unborn children.

Conservatives in Congress on Friday introduced the Child Tax Credit for Pregnant Moms Act of 2022, which would allow pregnant women to claim tax credits for their unborn children. The lawmakers' aim is to acknowledge the dignity of the unborn nationwide.

The primary sponsor of the bill, Rep. Jason Smith, R-Mo., explained the reason for the new policy: "From the moment a baby is conceived, a family's priorities begin adjusting to prepare for their arrival. It's time for our tax code to help babies who are still in the womb by making sure their parents have the resources necessary for their arrival."

The legislation was introduced by Smith, Sen. Steve Daines, R-Mont., Rep. Doug Lamborn, R-Colo., and others. If passed, the law could enable expectant mothers to save as much as $2,000 per child on their taxes by using the credit.

Under the proposed law, any child born between January and April can be claimed retroactively for the preceding year. Children born after April would receive a double credit during their year of birth. The mother would receive a tax credit even if her baby was miscarried or stillborn.

Senator Daines related, "Expecting parents begin providing and preparing for their child the minute they learn they're having a baby. The child tax credit should reflect the fact that unborn children are children, too."

Daines added, "From prenatal care to stocking up on baby supplies, this tax relief will help parents prepare for the arrival of their baby."

Lamborn raved about the legislation's ability to encourage childbirth and support the dignity of the unborn — as well as to uphold the sanctity of life.

"Despite attempts by the Left to dehumanize the unborn, we must continue working to recognize the inherent value and dignity of our unborn babies," noted Lamborn.

Senator Mike Lee, R-Utah, praised the bill:

The child tax credit supports families through the increased costs of raising children. It is a societal statement recognizing the value that children and parents bring to our country, and parenthood begins long before birth. Utah recognizes the value of families more than anywhere else. I am honored to support its expansion and to include expectant mothers whose children are not yet born. This bill will help protect life, support parents and reduce the number of children born into poverty.

Critics say the bill won't help the neediest families because, unlike in earlier versions of the bill that didn't pass, the credit isn't refundable, whereby the poorest people who didn't earn enough to file taxes could still claim it anyway by filling out a tax form.

The proposed measure follows the U.S. Supreme Court's hearing of oral arguments in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization case one month ago. The case involves Mississippi legislation (the 2018 Gestational Age Act) banning abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy. The law was blocked by a federal appellate court in 2019 after pro-abortion activists challenged it on behalf of Jackson Women's Health Organization, the state's last remaining abortion mill.

The state of Mississippi asked the Supreme Court to review the decision. The case could result in the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
