Prophetic?

Posted by Stuart Chessman 

Did the prophetic St Bridget of Sweden – as described by Johannes Jorgensen – also foresee the “field hospital” of a certain Supreme Pontiff?

“Bridget’s Christianity is not only a religion of mercy, the ambulance which follows the army and gathers up the wounded, the Samaritan who looks after the victims of the robber. It is that which has in later times been called social Christianity – the kingdom of God is to come also on the earth. Bridget by no means denies that God is merciful, on the contrary, she points it out again and again. But – and it is a great but – He is merciful only to those who repent. With Bridget there is no such thing as ‘sinning in relying on grace’ – each and everyone gets that which is due to him…”

Jorgensen, Johannes, Saint Bridget of Sweden Vol I at 73-74(Translator, Ingeborg Lund; Longmans Green and Co, London, 1954)
