2018 Letter From Bro. Michael Dimond

I wanted to give our supporters a brief update on new projects we’ve been working on and various items that we would like to make available in the near future.  We hope to have seven new DVDs.  These would include a new main DVD (with over 20 programs on it), a new Spanish DVD, a new French DVD, a new apologetics DVD, a new prophecy DVD, a new Vatican II Sect Exposed DVD, and a new DVD on various Catholic issues (third edition).  We would also like to have a first run of at least 100,000 copies printed of a Spanish version of our Padre Pio book.  There are over 400,000 copies of our Padre Pio book in circulation in English.  Additionally, we are hoping to print two new flyers.  The first flyer will show that the Bible proves the teachings of the Catholic Church.  Small, very easy to carry and hand out, we believe that this will be an incredibly effective tool for apologetics.  The second flyer will be an overview of Antipope Francis’ heresies on various topics.  For a first run, we would like to print 50,000 or 100,000 for each flyer.

Over the past 20 years we have spent a significant amount of the money we have received from donors trying to convert non-Catholics to the Catholic faith.  We have also used funds that we have received to wake up those who claim to be Catholic: to inform them of the true Catholic positions, to expose the Vatican II Counter Church, to get them out of the New Mass, to get them praying the Rosary, etc.  Many people have been converted and returned to the Catholic faith through our information.  Our materials covering these issues are the most important and effective.  Our English YouTube channel currently has over 36.8 million video views and over 64,000 subscribers.  Our Spanish YouTube channel currently has over 27 million video views and over 94,000 subscribers.  That makes our channels currently the most viewed and subscribed to traditional Catholic channels in the world in both English and Spanish.  We also have videos and channels in other languages.  According to Alexa.com, our website currently has the highest traffic ranking in the world (ranked #1) among all sites “not in communion with Rome”, with the SSPX’s website in second place (with a traffic rank trailing far behind our website).

Our extremely low prices enable large numbers of people to purchase and distribute extra copies of our material without much trouble.  This is one of the ways that the information reaches new people.  In fact, as far as we know, there is no religious organization in the world that sells materials for lower prices than we do.  Also, over the years we have paid for millions of new people to reach our website (for free) after clicking on our online ads.  Furthermore, we have run numerous national radio and TV ads.  For example, during the biggest year in which we ran radio ads, we received over 6,000 different orders and received over 10,000 telephone calls.  In the future we hope to continue advertising in a variety of ways to inform many more people about the critical information our apostolate makes available.  Financial resources will give us the ability to easily reach large numbers of new people.  That’s why we are asking for those with an abundance of resources (not those who are struggling financially or are in debt) to assist this critical work.  Receiving large contributions can bring the dissemination of this critical information to a whole new level.  There are also many expenses in running an international apostolate.  We very much appreciate all the donations we receive, large or small.  They help us do what we do.  But our situation recently has been one in which our consistent donors comprise a very small number of people.  We also make all of our new major video projects (which take a great deal of time to research and produce) available online for free.  We also have not accepted any ads on our videos or website - at least up to the time of publishing this letter on October 15, 2018.  We also make very little from the items that we do sell.  The amount of money we take in comes almost entirely from donations.  So, at this point in our apostolate, and moving forward, the number of additional souls ultimately reached will be determined to a large extent by the level of financial assistance we receive.

In the Gospel, Our Lord Jesus Christ informs us that in the last days the true faith would hardly be found on the earth. “For when the Son of Man comes, shall he find faith on the earth?” (Luke 18:8).  He tells us that “in the holy place” itself there will be “the abomination of desolation” (Mt. 24:15) and a deception so profound that, if it were possible, even the elect would be deceived (Mt. 24:24).  The New Testament tells us that this deception will happen in the very heart of the Church’s physical structures, in “the temple of God” (2 Thess. 2:4).  It will arise because people receive not the love of the truth (2 Thess. 2:10).  Jesus says His return will happen suddenly, and almost the entire world will not be aware it is about to happen.  Matthew 24:37-39 - "And as in the days of Noe, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.  For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, even till that day in which Noe entered into the ark, and they knew not till the flood came, and took them all away; so also shall the coming of the Son of man be."

As our materials cover in detail, we are living in the last days foretold in Scripture.  Those who have read the Third Secret of Fatima, or claimed they know what the Third Secret contains, say that it refers to a massive apostasy that will seem to occur “at the top” of the “Catholic Church”.  In other words, it will be caused by men who will claim to be popes.  In reality, however, these men are and have been antipopes.  “Cardinal” Ciappi said: “In the Third Secret [of Fatima], it is foretold, among other things, that the great apostasy in the Church will begin at the top.”  In a question and answer session at the University of Vienna in 1984, “Bishop” do Amaral gave this answer concerning the Third Secret: "Its content concerns only our faith… The loss of the faith on a continent is worse than the annihilation of a nation; and it is true that the faith is continually diminishing in Europe."  Fr. Gommar DePauw attended Vatican II as an advisor and said that he was given a text of what was claimed to be the Third Secret.  According to him, the text contained a future prediction by the Blessed Virgin of an almost unbelievable apostasy in the Church.  “Cardinal” Silvio Oddi said: “… the Third Secret — which John XXIII and his successors thought inopportune to reveal — is not about a supposed conversion of Russia… but regards the revolution in the Catholic Church… The Blessed Virgin was alerting us against apostasy in the Church… so many innovations were born [at Vatican II] that they appear to constitute a true internal revolution.”  Just recently it was revealed that around 1960, Fr. Gabriele Amorth met Padre Pio and talked with him about the Third Secret of Fatima.  Amorth spoke about the meeting in a 2011 interview.  According to Amorth (who was part of the Vatican II Sect), Padre Pio said: “Satan has been introduced into the bosom of the Church [the physical structures] and he will within a very short time come to rule a false Church.”  Amorth said that Padre Pio was “really tormented” by one issue, that is, the Great Apostasy.  These facts indicate that Fatima also foretold the Great Apostasy through which we are living. Sadly, most people who consider themselves Catholic follow the Vatican II Sect and have embraced a modernist counterfeit religion that leads people into heresy, sin and apostasy.  Our material shows why the Vatican II Sect is not the Catholic Church but the prophesied end-times Counter Church.  It explains that this apostasy from the Catholic faith was predicted in Scripture.  It covers what people need to do to be true Catholics and save their souls.

The recent developments with Antipope Francis and the scandals of the Vatican II Sect have strikingly confirmed the importance of our apostolate and the accuracy of what we’ve been stating about the Vatican II Sect for many years.  Our apostolate also preserves the full truth of the faith on the salvation dogma, unlike the false traditionalist groups and other heretical sedevacantist groups that compromise and deny the necessity of the Catholic faith and baptism for salvation.  There are many people who aggressively financially support heretical false traditionalist groups or “priestly societies” because they are concerned with externals and supporting physical temples (e.g. buildings, structures).  They are deceived.  They don't really care about supporting the construction of the true temple of God - that is, the true Church and the increase of the true faithful (which can only happen with an uncompromising faith).  A group might have many priests, a seminary, a nice chapel, etc., but if it denies a teaching of the Church it is not part of the true temple of God.  Many people fail to realize that in our day, just like during the time of the Apostles when the Church began, the true Church doesn't have many buildings.  The true temple is found in the true Catholics.  Thus, it is by assisting efforts to spread the true faith and bring people to it that one really helps build the temple of God.  “… you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house" (1 Peter 2:5).  “... For we are the temple of the living God” (2 Corinthians 6:16).

In her appearance at La Salette, France (September 19, 1846) the Blessed Mother prophesied that: “Rome will lose the faith and become the seat of the Antichrist… the Church will be in eclipse.”  She also said: “only faith will survive” and “Who will be the victor if God does not shorten the length of the test?”  This test referred to by Our Lady is the struggle to save one’s soul during the almost complete disappearance of the Catholic faith from the world.  There is almost nothing left and almost nowhere to receive Communion.  The test (the Great Apostasy) is what we are living through and dealing with now.  It is the worst crisis of faith in the history of the world.  In this time of almost complete apostasy, enabling a person to discover and maintain the true Catholic faith is the greatest gift a person can give.  That’s the primary work of our monastery.  As many of you know, over the years we have posted many powerful testimonials from people around the world who have converted, changed or been greatly impacted by the information we publish.  Our apostolate allows people to navigate through the confusion in these last days and find the truth.  It contains the essential information people need to save their souls.  The information we are putting out is absolutely critical and more people need to see it.  It is the most important and powerful collection of information in the world on the true faith.  When people have seen the information, conversions have occurred and lives have changed.
