Following are the words of no less an authority than the holy founder of the Order of Friars Minor St. Francis of Assisi, and they were issued when he realized he was dying. To alert his fellow friars and all in his Order as well as those generations to come, he foretold of dire times not only in the world, but within the very bosom of holy Mother Church. The source for this is from the book "Works of the Seraphic Father St. Francis of Assisi, translated by a Religious of the Order" and published in London in 1882 during the pontificate of Pope Leo XIII. This book is excerpted at NovusOrdoWatch.org and we have expanded by commenting on each point below.
