This is an interesting quote about how the early Christian councils were modelled on the procedure observed in the Roman Empire. This fact is another example of the point mentioned in our recent video (Saints & Theologians On The End Times – Shedding Light On The Current Catholic Crisis) and in other videos, namely, that The Beast That Was (i.e. pagan Rome) was replaced by the Christian/Catholic Roman Empire. But in the last days pagan Rome returns and takes control of those physical structures by means of a Counter Church led by antipopes (reducing the true Church to a remnant).
Francis Dvornik, The Ecumenical Councils, 1964, pp. 9-10: “Such meetings [of bishops] took place in the capitals or major cities of Roman provinces where the apostles had found important… communities which had become centers from which Christianity spread through the rest of the provinces. This explains why the letters of Peter and Paul were addressed to the Christians of Eastern and Western provinces of the Roman Empire or of their capitals—Rome (Italy), Ephesus (Asia), Corinth (Achaea), Thessalonica (Macedonia)—and why the decision of the apostolic assembly was made known to the Christians of Antioch, capital of Syria, and of the province of Cilicia. This practice influenced the organization of the primitive Church along the lines of the political divisions of the Roman Empire. It was thus natural that to the bishops residing in the capitals of the provinces were left the initiative of convoking the councils and the privilege of presiding over their debates. This gave them a kind of superiority over other bishops of the districts. They were called metropolitans because they resided in the capitals (metropolis)...
We have little information on such assemblies in the eastern part of the Empire… however, from his [Cyprian’s] letters we can be certain that such gatherings of bishops gradually modelled themselves on the rules under which the sessions of the Roman Senate were held. The presiding bishop assumed the role of the Emperor or of his representative in the Senate. He used the same words for the convocation of the Council as were used in the imperial summons for the meeting of the Senate; and the conduct of debate, the interrogations of the bishops, and their responses also imitated the procedure of the Senate. The same rules were observed at the Roman council held in 313, in the house of Fausta. There was nothing unusual in this development. The meetings of the local senates or municipal councils in the provincial capitals were also modelled on the procedure followed by the Roman Senate, and this procedure was thus familiar to the bishops, who were Roman citizens. It is important to state that the conciliar or synodal practice was already fully developed in the Church before the conversion of Constantine the Great, the first Christian Emperor.”

Trudeau government spent $11.2 billion on pushing gender ideology in foreign countries: records
This money went to freaks worldwide... Doctors, so called influencers, journalists, media personalities and all types of lesser known people promoting evil and destruction for money... After a person become infected by this poison, he or she will go deeper and deeper into darkness and embrace fully the Devil.

Thank you Brothers for the video. Coincidentally, earlier today Trump has decided to cut funding for abortion and will investigate babies’ parts being traded. May God’s justice be fulfilled, both in time and in eternity.

It’s very interesting to note that on Oct. 16, 1978, the very day on which Antipope John Paul II was installed as antipope by the Vatican II Sect, the notorious heretic Billy Graham (a Southern Baptist who preached a false salvation message) was preaching in John Paul II’s home cathedral in Krakow, Poland. Graham had been invited by Karol Wojtyla (i.e. John Paul II) to preach at the Krakow cathedral. The fact that John Paul II had a notorious heretic (a Protestant) preaching in his church on the very day of his false election was another striking confirmation that he [i.e. John Paul II] was a public heretic and therefore ineligible for the papal office. Heretics are barred by the divine law from becoming pope. It also highlights the interesting spiritual connection between Karol Wojtyla and Billy Graham, two major deceivers and false teachers.

Prayed The Rosary, Saw The Videos
Saints & Theologians On The End Times – Shedding Light On The Current Catholic Crisis
Two years ago for Lent I started praying all three mysteries of the rosary daily. By Passion Sunday I had started watching MHFM videos and by Palm Sunday I had come out of the Vatican II sect of apostasy. I had prayed my way out of the counter-Church with the rosary! Through Our Lady and MHFM I found out what the real Catholic Church has always taught. Everything at last started to make sense and the more I watch these videos, the more obvious it is. Thank you for sharing these further quotes affirming the stark truth, that we're well into the end times great apostasy. Our Lady of La Salette, pray for us.

Instrumental In His Conversion
Dear Brother Michael, just wanted to thank you for your 33 years of service to the true church and Benedictine order. Your early videos back in the 1990s were instrumental in me becoming a true traditional catholic. Now a firm convinced sedevacantist. Thank you for all your hard work. All these years. God bless in St benedict.

Authentic Catholic Faith
Saints & Theologians On The End Times – Shedding Light On The Current Catholic Crisis
In December 2022, I asked my guardian angel to make known to me whatever I need to know for salvation. Shortly after, a MHFM video appeared in my Youtube feed and I knew it was the truth. I am forever grateful to the Dimond brothers for proclaiming the authentic Catholic faith to the remnant, however few we are.

There is a strong emphasis on baptism in the life of St. Patrick. In the following passage he indicates that no adult is saved without baptism when speaking about the newly-baptized converts who had been slain by the soldiers of Coroticus.
St. Patrick, Letter to the Soldiers of Coroticus, 5th century: “The day after the newly baptized, anointed with chrism, in white garments (had been slain) – the fragrance was still on their foreheads when they were butchered and slaughtered... I sent a letter...
Perhaps they do not believe that we have received one and the same baptism, or have one and the same God as Father. For them it is a disgrace that we are Irish. Have ye not, as is written, one God?... I grieve for you, I grieve, my dearly beloved. But again, I rejoice within myself. I have not labored for nothing, and my journeying abroad has not been in vain. And if this horrible, unspeakable crime did happen – thanks be to God, you have left the world and have gone to Paradise as baptized faithful.”
He teaches that his labors to make sure these catechumens left the world baptized were not in vain (but necessary). His statement contradicts the idea of “baptism of desire”.
St. Patrick, The Confession, 5th century: “I went to you and everywhere for your sake in many dangers, even to the farthest districts, beyond which there lived nobody and where nobody had ever come to baptize, to ordain clergy, or to confirm people.”
St. Patrick on Prayer
St. Patrick, Confession, 5th century: “And my spirit was moved so that in a single day I would say as many as a hundred prayers, and almost as many in the night, and even when I was staying in the woods and on the mountains; and I used to get up for prayer before daylight, through snow, through frost, through rain, and I felt no harm, and there was no sloth in me…”
