It has been my belief that the Great Apostasy was officially announced in 1870 by Pope Pius IX when he personally trashed the rule of Scripture and tradition with his claim to infallibility. Seems like a lot of things happened around that time - eg Albert Pike and his plans for Masonic world rule, American "Civil" War (which included mass civilian murders by Gen. Sherman), etc., etc.

Well add this to the list. The degree of apostasy seems to be similar to the magnetic pole shift graft. A lot of people considered Pope John Paul II to be an antiChrist (remember his Assisi Paganfest of 1986). That Pole shifted the whole Catholic Church and his minions want to make him a "saint' this May Day . (also knows as the international distress signal) Pope Ratszinger is continuing the apostasy un-tradition with his Assisi Paganfest of 2011 this October. We'll see what happens to the charts with that event. Probably a complete global magnetic reversal. (that imitates the spiritual reversal and rejection of all things of Christ)

Since 1860, the magnetic pole shift has more than doubled every 50 years. That is pretty significant. In geological terms, that seems to be pretty ‘rapid’.
