(I edited this because my original post was wrong!) I was under the impression that the Blessed Anna-Maria Taigi among others foretold the three days of darkness. To wit: "God will send two punishments: one will be in the form of wars, revolutions and other evils; it shall originate on earth. The other will be sent from Heaven. There shall come over the whole earth an intense darkness lasting three days and three nights. Nothing can be seen, and the air will be laden with pestilence which will claim mainly, but not only, the enemies of religion. It will be impossible to use any man-made lighting during this darkness, except blessed candles." It's not Holy See approved, but I think somewhat disingenuous for the priest to refer to this as mere superstition since this is someone with whom miracles were associated. I had to turn this sermon off when I heard the father dismiss this as superstition, sorry.
I got a couple of questions to ask. Is it a sin to go to a non catholic protestant church? I have been invited by my protestant friends to attend a talk at one of there churches. I see it as a opportunity to share the catholic faith with them. There is no danger to my faith because I know it very well, but want to know if it is still a sin against the first commandment? Is going to a non catholic bible study permitted?
St.Pio also spoke of the three days of darkness.

If that's your goal, then no. But you've got to be really strong and not falter.
