Warning III

Another problem with the majority of the consecration vows that are being circulated throughout the Church is that they address an entity called the Queen of Heaven. For example, the Saint Louis de Montfort vow petitions an entity called "Queen of Heaven and earth, to whose empire everything is subject..."¹ The Militia of the Immaculata address an entity called "Immaculata, Queen of Heaven..."² Father Gobbi's Marian Movement of Priests petitions an entity called the "Virgin of Fatima, Mother of Mercy, Queen of Heaven and Earth, Refuge of Sinners..."³

Although most participants of these vows believe they are addressing the Blessed Mother, what they fail to realize is that Satan can operate under any name and title he wants. Satan can even assign religious-sounding names to his vast army of fallen angels including the name of Mary, Mother of Mercy, Refuge for Sinners, Immaculata, and the Queen of Heaven.

A good example of the devil's ability to operate under religious-sounding names comes from Jeremiah 44 where the Jewish exiles who were living in the land of Egypt were worshiping a demonic entity that was also operating under the name Queen of Heaven. God sent Jeremiah to warn them by saying:

"Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: You yourselves have seen all the disaster that I have brought on Jerusalem and on all the towns of Judah. Look at them; today they are a desolation, without an inhabitant in them, because of the wickedness that they committed, provoking me to anger, in that they went to make offerings and serve other gods that they had not known, neither they, nor you, nor your ancestors. Yet I persistently sent to you all my servants the prophets, saying, 'I beg you not to do this abominable thing that I hate!'"⁴

"Then all the men who were aware that their wives had been making offerings to other gods, and all the women who stood by, a great assembly, all the people who lived in Pathros in the land of Egypt, answered Jeremiah: 'As for the word that you have spoken to us in the name of the Lord, we are not going to listen to you. Instead, we will do everything that we have vowed, make offerings to the queen of heaven and pour out libations to her.'"⁵

Because the demons had been giving their victims special powers, the people who had been praying to them were unable to break free. In response to Jeremiah's warning they said, "We used to have plenty of food, and prospered, and saw no misfortune. But from the time we stopped making offerings to the queen of heaven and pouring out libations to her, we have lacked everything and have perished by the sword and by famine."⁶

"And the women said, 'Indeed we will go on making offerings to the queen of heaven and pouring out libations to her; do you think that we made cakes for her, marked with her image, and poured out libations to her without our husbands' being involved?'"⁷

In this situation, the demons who were operating under the name Queen of Heaven were giving the Jewish exiles who worshiped them special powers and favors. Even though God sent Jeremiah to warn them, they could not break free because the demons had developed a stronghold in these people's lives and hearts through the sin of idolatry.

In other parts of the world, the same demonic entities were operating under different names. In the Babylonian and Assyrian culture they were using the name of Ishtar. In the Greek culture they were operating under the name of Aphrodite. In the Egyptian culture they were known as Isis. Worship of this goddess was first introduced by King Manasseh in 2 Kings 21 and continued under the name of Artemis for the Ephesians, in Acts 19:23-27.

In today's culture, the same demonic entities continue their assault against humanity. In the New Age movement they operate under the name of Isis, Queen of Heaven, and Ascended Master Mary; when it comes to ensnaring Catholic souls, these very same demonic entities still have the ability to operate under the name Mary, Immaculata, and the Queen of Heaven.

God allows the devil and his vast army of deceptive spirits to roam the earth for the sole purpose of testing human hearts. God has already given us everything we need to know in Sacred Scripture. The sin of idolatry has been clearly defined in the Catechism under sections 2110-2141. When Catholics violate the First Commandment and offer their souls to unknown entities, they open themselves up to demonic influence. Once the spiritual door of our hearts has been opened to the devil, deceptive spirits will enter into our lives and hinder our relationship with the Blessed Trinity.

Conclusion

In an attempt to ensnare as many souls as possible, demonic spirits have been appearing at false apparition sites making requests from Catholics to sell their souls into the Immaculata's possession and power. These vows are even more dangerous when the participants ratify their original baptismal promises through a 30-day process where the vows are repeated in a repetitious cycle.

After the consecration vows have been formed into a spiritually binding agreement, the Holy Spirit will be forced to leave that person's life to be replaced by a spirit of the Immaculata—the Queen of Heaven. True devotion is thereby diverted away from the Blessed Trinity, and replaced with a form of idol worship that encourages and promotes Marian worship within the Catholic Church.

If you have offered your soul to the spirit of the Immaculata—Queen of Heaven, it will be necessary to break those agreements in the name, power, and authority of the Lord Jesus Christ. After these agreements have been broken, it will be necessary to confess the sin of idolatry, and spend the rest of your life maintaining an authentic relationship with the Blessed Trinity.
