Ronald L. Conte Jr.

Ronald L. Conte Jr. claims to be a Roman Catholic lay theologian. He received his degree in philosophy/theology from Boston College where he was taught by Peter Kreeft. Since then, he has written and self-published several books and articles in the several areas of Catholic Theology such as Eschatology, Mariology, Biblical Chronology, and Dogmatic and Moral Theology. Currently he is translating the Catholic Public Domain Version of the Sacred Bible . In addition he is publisher and editor of a Catholic theology website and moderator of an online Catholic discussion group
Conte gained some notoriety when he correctly predicted the name of the current pope, Benedict XVI, several years prior to the death of Pope John Paul II. However, he stated incorrectly that he would also be black. His forum grew as people intrigued with eschatology wanted to know what else he might predict. His rules for participating in his forum at catholicplanet.net/forum states strongly that he will only correspond with those who expressly believe in the teachings of Roman Catholicism, and labels all others as heretics . Critics on other forums have noted that Conte considers himself as the ultimate arbiter on all interpretations of those teachings.
One of his more significant predictions is due to take place very soon. He claims that on March 31, 2009, Father Petar Ljubicic, a catholic priest, will receive a parchment that contains information written in an unknown language about one of the secrets that Mary revealed to a child in 1985. Father Ljubicic will then fast for seven days and then reveal the secret to the world. The secret is due to take place three days later (April 10, 2009) and visible for the world to see. There have been no clear reports as to if the priest has started fasting yet, as that day has already passed. This secret will be a sign of the beginning of the first part of the tribulation of the world.
Conte was discounted on some popular Catholic web forums after another one of his predictions turned out to be false. He claimed that Hillary Clinton would win the U.S. presidential election. After the first secret (see above), she would change her position on abortion and urge others to do the same.
