The Apostle of the Last Times? (Fr. Michel Rodrigue) - Jimmy Akin's Mysterious World

For the last several years, the Canadian Fr. Michel Rodrigue as been reporting revelations of apocalyptic world events to start in October 2020. Jimmy Akin and Dom Bettinelli ask who is Fr. Rodrigue, what does he claim, are his revelations really from God, and how likely are they to happen?

This video in 2024 is rather amazing, and I've used it as a teaching tool for my children to try to identify those who are not sincere. God Bless Jimmy for going through this point by point.

They said Pope Benedict would make a council? Pope Benedict (rest his soul) died just today. This is how God exposes false prophets everyone.

As a Catholic, I need to pray for Father Rodrigue - that God will have mercy on him and bring him to the Light of Jesus. As I was listening to his video, I knew it could not be a true vision and I did indeed feel sorry for him. God bless him.

I think I know where I stand after listening to this....Ill focus on the sacraments, rosary and devotion to the blessed sacrament and leave the rest to God

SMACKDOWN: That is the word that comes to mind. I appreciate your clinical discipline in avoiding the tone and phases of a "smackdown, " but let's all be honest that was a clinical, rational smackdown of a false prophet and masterfully done. It would have been hard for me to wait till the very end of the episode to give such a laundry-listed bottom line, but it had a very nice effect. I know this is not the most charitable and humble perspective, but I just can't help but express what I think many people are thinking after listening to this. Glory be to God, His Church, and His true prophets.

Thank you, so much, for sharing your research. I watched several of Fr. Michel's videos, and they left me feeling very uncomfortable and anxious. So many things he said did not sit right with me, and it reminds me of the words of scripture - "By their fruits you will know them." Thank you for giving me and many others a sense of peace. :)

Just wow! With all charity, I don't know how any one could find this man creditable after hearing the stories he tells about his life experiences.

Omgosh this poor Priest is really dillusional, been following him for a few years. Spiritual pride. Pray for him and all those under his spell.

I already had the illumination of concience. That what the priest told me in confession last Saturday. He asked me why the sudden dramatic conversion. I told him what happened. That I learned i was going straight to hell if I had died in that moment. I sobbed for hours in true repentance. It was a powerful experience. I'd never heard of it before it happened to me. I thank God cuz he saved me for certain. Praise be his name.

Am glad I found this. I’m very suspicious of a lot of what he is saying. I googled him, and his bishop a few years ago said people were very frightened and called his office because of his predictions. I don’t see many of them coming true either. His latest is something big occurring in December 8th. Will have to see if anything occurs, but I’m betting it won’t.

I really don’t know how Good Catholic People who are frail and maybe sick will survive, all the terrible things that will happen according to Fr. Michel Rodrigue!!! I truly believe in our Father, who is complete and total LOVE! He does LOVE us more then we can comprehend. He wants us to simply LOVE HIM back and love our neighbors! If we really do this, what in the heck do we have to worry our heads off for!!! NI’m sorry to say, or maybe I’m not, that Fr. Michel’s prophesies, seem to constantly stress how Angry our Loving God is with mankind. Well I can believe that our Father is upset with what some of His children are doing. However, on the other hand, He must be overjoyed with all the people who are holding strong to the Faith and showing it! God bless us all in kindness and love…+Fr.James

I appreciate this episode. I have enjoyed and gotten a lot out of much of the Countdown to the Kingdom videos, but something about Fr. Michel Rodrigue's videos did not set well with me and gave me an uneasy feeling. I like that you mentioned your amicable interaction with Daniel O'Connor. I really appreciate him. I have recently purchased his larger book on Luisa Piccaretta and The Kingdom of the Divine Will. I would be interested to hear an episode on Luisa Piccaretta. Thank you for all you do gentleman!

I wonder how Father Rodrigue feels about Pope Benedict’s passing, which was quite undramatic and unlike this supposed prophecy he was preaching.

I must have missed that nuclear war in 2020

[heathert]

Thanks for this episode Dom and Jimmy!!! There is so much potentially harmful Catholic "information" circulating the interwebs right now; I am thrilled to see a touchstone of honest, fair, researched criticism.

[andrealeblanc]

Thank you very much! I had recently come across one of his prophecies on YouTube. They sounded very much like what some other Mystics have said, but I also know that these things cannot be taken at face value. So I put a question out into the websphere and your episode is an answer to my prayers. Thanks again!

It's so painful to see a priest lie or decieve. I can think of Father John Corapi who led me back to the church after many years. For we are not judges but God's people in Christ our Lord.

Would you please investigate Fr. Jim Blount next

[rosiegirl]

I am nobody..just a housewife who has raised a family! I have listened to Fr. Rodrigue in the past, and now Jimmy and Dom have made this video..which I think has been screaming to be made! I am now going to give my noneducated opinion: I think Fr. Rodrigue's bishop needs to get involved and put an end to this! Again, I am no expert but it seems fairly clear that this priest is having a public breakdown..it's also clear he is the hero in his own story! I sort of understand these people who are following and encouraging him to want this to be true..considering the unrest and unstable predicaments we find our world in today..and we all want God, Our Lady, the Holy Angels, and all of Heavens Saints to come down and put us and the whole world in order..and I believe He will..in His time..and according to His plan! The story of God that I'm familiar with...God is always the hero! Somebody needs to step in and charitably remove this priest and get him the help he clearly needs!

This bible verse came to my mind after listening to this video. Matthew 7:21-23:
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord, ’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’
