Former satanic priest among seven new saints canonised at St Peterโ€™s Square

>>23745850

Among the newly canonized is Bartolo Longo, the Italian lawyer whose dramatic conversion from atheism and the occult to deep Marian devotion became one of the most remarkable stories of modern sanctity. Raised in a pious family, he left the Church and began to practise Satanism. Becoming severely depressed and tormented by diabolic visions, he turned to a friend who encouraged him to seek spiritual counsel from the Dominican friar Fr Alberto Radente. He soon renounced his Satanism and returned to the Catholic faith.

 

Keen to make reparation for his sinful past, he remembered the words of St Dominic that โ€œhe who propagates my rosary will be savedโ€. He restored a run-down church and began to organise festivals in honour of Our Lady of the Rosary.

 

After being gifted a painting of Our Lady of the Rosary, miracles began to be reported in connection with the shrine that St Bartolo had founded. Encouraged by his bishop, he began to build a much larger church, which was consecrated in 1891 by Cardinal La Valletta and in 1939 was enlarged to a basilica, known today as the Shrine of the Virgin of the Rosary of Pompei.

 

During his mission to serve the poor of Pompei he met Countess Mariana di Fusco. At the suggestion of Pope Leo XIII, St Bartolo and the countess married in a chaste union. Longo continued his good work until his death in 1926 and was beatified by Pope St John Paul II in 1980, who called him the โ€œApostle of the Rosary

the prophecy of the "Black Pope" announced by Nostradamus.

 

"First, there will be a foreign Pope (Benedict XVI), then an old Pope (Francis), and finally, a Black Pope. With him, the end of the world."
