!? The 'Nursing Nun' of Belley (Bellay) (c. 1810 - 1830)



SUSPECT/ NOT CREDITABLE – Contains a Failed Prophecy and a Prophecy that Contradicts Creditable Prophecies – Indicates fake prophetic additions were made to the text favouring the Orleans Branch of the French royal family making it unreliable as a prophetic source.  The earliest printed texts itself sounds very shady as a 'sensation piece' to sell booklets, and does not appear to be a creditable source.

(NOTE: these have also been attributed to the 'nursing nun' Sr. Bertina / Bertina of  St. Omer, but they are very different from her prophecies and there is no proof Sr. Bertina made the 'Belley / Bellay' prophecies.  Click here for more about Sr. Bertina, her own prophecies are also problematic.)


(*) The major red flag is that the text contradicts itself and gives a date which did not come to pass:


“The great monarch rides on that of his fathers; the throne is posed at noon.”

“Everything subsides with their voices. Altars rise, religion reborn, the wicked are destroyed and confused, the injustices are repaired. The great monarch, with his restorative hand; all is saved.”

“He's just passing; his glory is short.”

“He is born in misfortune.”

“In the year 1840, the child of exile will succeed him; and peace then will be given to France”

"But the end of the end will not be far away.” (i.e the end of the world)


NOTE: this sounds correct, until we see that the prophecy regarding 1840 did not come to pass, which would make it a fake prophecy, and, also it says 'the child of exile' will rule *after him* aka after the Great Monarch and will bring the peace to France? It says while the Great Monarch will restore all, a 'Child of Exile' will rule after him and give the promised peace? That does not make sense!

Obviously, someone tried to make up their own prophecy regarding prophecies they heard about the 'Child of Exile'. True prophecies from real mystics and saints say the 'Child of Exile' and the Great Monarch are one and the same, therefore, how can the 'Child of Exile' come after the 'Great Monarch' who is destined to bring the Age of Peace? So, we have an obvious fake prophecy here.

Of interest, the author of the text of the 'Belley Prophecies', M(achet) de le Marne, provides a footnote regarding this 1840 prediction that gives a clue this prophecy was completely made up in order to declare Louis Philippe I, the Duke of Orleans, to be the 'Great Monarch' and that his son, Prince Ferdinand Philippe of Orléans, was the promised 'Child of Exile' destined to bring the Age of Peace 'after' him. Prince Ferdinand was born in 1810, (the year the supposed Prophecies of Belley were made, which is convenient!) and was born in exile in Palermo. Marne in his footnote regarding this “1840 prophecy” makes the following 'prophetic' commentary:

(Marnes) “In the year 1840, the Duke of Chartres, (i.e. Prince Ferdinand) born in Palermo during the exile of his parents, will succeed his father, who, to end his life in rest, will have given him the throne. In this time a deep peace will reign in the whole of France.”

Marne proved to be completely wrong – Prince Ferdinand died in 1842, never to succeed his father or see the collapse of the July Monarchy and subsequent exile of his family to England. The fact Marne also calls King Charles X, the true Bourbon line of the French throne a 'tyrant' in his text, shows that Marne was a complete Orleanist supporter and was in favour of the July Revolution which overthrew Charles X. Charles abdicated in favour of his grandson, Henry V, and Louis Philippe was chosen as regent, but Louis Philippe was made King of the French by the National Assembly and therefore usurped the throne from the true King Henry V – the chosen king of God according to authentic mystics and visionaries such as Marie-Julie Jahenny, Ven. Josefa of Bourg, the “Ecstatic of Tours”, and Sr. Marie Lataste.
We also know that the the Duke de Orleans branch of the Royal Family of France is cut off from God according to the true mystics, such as Marie-Julie Jahenny who foretold that they would try to claim the throne but would never hold it. The Great Monarch would not be from the Orleans branch.


(*) Red flags regarding the text of the 'Belley prophecies' itself:

The earliest edition of the texts attributed to a mystic nun called the 'Nun of Belley' or 'Nursing Nun of Belley' was printed in France in the 1831. It is possible to find both the first and second editions online. The texts were printed in Paris and entitled “Prophéties d'une religieuse de Belley et d'un cultivateur de Villeneuve-de-Berg”. The text itself reads very sketchy.

The author M de le Marne (Louis Philibert Machet ) says that the first of the prophecies were made circa 1810, and were 'religiously' kept by her family in the Béziers region of France, which is situated in the south of France west of Montpelier. M. de la Marne proceeds to explain how he came to know of the prophecies: by several booksellers who seemed to know about this nun, but he does not publish the booksellers' names, supposedly in fear of giving their names to the authorities. Apparently, publishing prophecies was a crime in France? Who knew! Sounds very odd.

Marne also proceeds to say that he knew several 'renowned ecclesiastics' who knew of her, but again, without giving names of the sources. He provides 'sources' without giving the sources. He then drops a name, that Bishop Salmon of Évreux knew her, but again, he hears this is from hearsay from another person, supposing his unnamed source who gave him this information is even a real person let alone a creditable source to begin with. This could be just a name dropped to lend the text credibility. Marne then says he received a letter from another religious in the 'Kingdom of Sardinia' saying these prophecies 'came from Belley', again, without naming the source.

Another 'source' then informed him these prophecies came from a nun who was a 'very young girl' and that they must have been made at least from before 1830.  So, it all sounds very cloak and dagger, with nothing of substance to verify his claims this nun even existed.

Even Marne / Machet has to admit: “I do not even have any proof that it is a nun, nor that the prophecy comes originally from Belley.” (Despite all the 'sources' who said so!”)

So, of all the people who knew her, no one seems to know what her name was, the author won't reveal the names of sources, (if they are real to begin with!) and, even he has to admit he cannot verify the info he has been told.

Some sources online say that the doctor from Lyon who treated the nun transmitted these texts to Father Fulgence, the door keeper of of Notre-Dame des Gardes, near Angers, but this information was not provided in the earliest sources by Marne / Machet, therefore, this must be 'good-sounding' but false information added at a later date to give the text credibility.

The 'Nun of Belley' prophecies are obviously not from a true mystic, they appear to be a forgery.
