"The press release from Rome..92-year-old Pontiff [Leo XIII] had twice sat bolt upright in bed.. he was heard to repeat humbly, 'My intentions were good.'..even with good intentions, the Roman Pontiff, known to be a personally pious man, can seem to be responding to a rebuke from God, what must be the situation of those who sit on the pro-abortion side"

Fr. Gilbert Combe, for a time spiritual director of Melanie Calvat of La Salette, testified that she was granted a vision of Leo XIII on his deathbed. She beheld him horribly contorted in what appeared to be a moral struggle, his eyes rolling left and right so that only the whites were visible. Terrified and begging to be spared the sight, she heard our Lord say, "I am about to call my Vicar to Myself!" The press release from Rome indicated later that before breathing his last the 92-year-old Pontiff had twice sat bolt upright in bed. No one knows what he saw, but he was heard to repeat humbly, "My intentions were good."

Now, if the press report is accurate, even with good intentions, the Roman Pontiff, known to be a personally pious man, can seem to be responding to a rebuke from God, what must be the situation of those who sit on the pro-abortion side. [http://www.catholictradition.org/sounding-off5.htm ]
