Picture of Urakami Cathedral Before the A-Bomb was Dropped
The Urakami Cathedral in Nagasaki, Japan was completed in 1914 after
the True Catholics there had worked on it for thirty years,
brick by brick.
The Freemason FDR, supported by his war-profiteering friends on Wall Street, did everything in his power to get
the US into war with Japan. Indifferent to the fact that in Sept of 1941, US polls showed that 80% of Americans wanted US neutrality in WWII, he provoked and permitted the *incident at Pearl Harbor.
FDR then proceeded to declare war on Japan on December 8, 1941.
*In August of 1941 at FDR's Atlantic summit conference, Churchill later reported to his
war cabinet that Rososevelt had assured him that "everything was to be done to force an 'incident' to justify hostilities."

St. Paul Miki and his 25 Companions (20 were Japanese) Feast
is Feb 6th
On Feb 5, 1597, 26 Catholics were executed by crucifixion in Nagasaki. These individuals were raised on crosses and then pierced through with spears. Pius
IX canonized the Martyrs of Nagasaki in 1862.
By 1945 the Nagasaki community of Roman Catholics, the descendants
of those who survived the ferocious 16th-17th Century persecutions, formed the largest Catholic colony in Japan. They inhabited the Urakami valley, which is the district of Nagasaki over which
the atomic bomb exploded.
August 9, 1945, 11:02 A.M. Nagasaki, Japan
"Bockscar", the US B-29 bomber carrying a plutonium-core atomic bomb
dropped its deadly cargo over Nagasaki: There
was a a blinding, searing light,
and the sky became blacker than night as a layer of dust eclipsed the sun...
The devastating bomb killed nearly 9,600 of the 12,000 Catholics who lived near the hypocenter of the blast, which left 70,000 people dead altogether. Their beloved Urakami Cathedral (the
largest Catholic church in the Orient) was utterly destroyed. Two priests hearing confessions at the time, along with dozens of penitents, were killed when the church collapsed on top of them.

The atomic bomb detonated less than two blocks from the Catholic Cathedral.
This, the heart of Catholicism in Japan, (visited by St. Francis Xavier in 1559) was
targeted for the 2nd atomic bomb of 1945. One of the original martyrs executed at Nagasaki in 1597 was a Franciscan friar, canonized in 1862 as St. Philip of Jesus. As he was about to die on his cross, he is reported to have
foretold that one day Nagasaki would be destroyed by "a ball of fire dropping from the sky."
It is quite sobering today, as True Catholics [those in union
with Gregory XVIII] know that an exponentially greater cataclysm then what struck our fellow Catholics in Japan in 1945, will soon engulf the entire world [The Three Days of Darkness]. Do we truly have our souls in order?
