I feel like people forget (or just don’t know) that St. Faustina’s Diary wasn’t always accepted by the Church. From 1959 until the late 1970s, the Holy Office actually restricted the Divine Mercy devotion and the circulation of her writings. The main reasons were bad translations and theological confusion, not because Faustina was condemned as a false mystic. The ban was eventually lifted after better Polish originals were examined — after Vatican II — and then everything moved very fast under John Paul II, who was polish.
What’s even more disturbing is the history of the original Divine Mercy image. The first painting was done by Eugeniusz Kazimirowski, and contrary to how sanitized the story is today, he was a Freemason. Later in his life, he painted himself as Judas Iscariot and he eventually killed himself. Him portraying himself as Judas, the man who betrayed Christ, and then killing himself, just like Judas did, is very interesting.
Some people (and I am not sure where I stand on this but) also claim that there is masonic symbolism in the painting and that it is actually a painting of anti-christ (square and compass shape rays, the secret trademark).
Pope Leo XIII constantly warned of their (freemasons and jews) infiltration plan, because the ultimate goal of freemasons is to abolish the Catholic Church.
Could John Paul the Second have had ulterior motives approving of St. Faustina’s diary and the devotion of Divine Mercy? Could he have been a freemason ? An ‘’antipope’’?
There are also many people that think Vatican II itself is a heresy. And this position seems to be growing among catholics. Especially because:
