Pope Pius IX Implicitly Condemned “Baptism Of Desire”

In his Allocution Singulari Quadam, Dec. 9, 1854, Pope Pius IX implicitly condemned “baptism of desire” when he stated the following in the context of discussing the dogma Outside The Church There Is No Salvation.

Pope Pius IX, Allocution Singulari Quadam, Dec. 9, 1854: “For, in truth, when released from these corporeal chains ‘we shall see God as He is’ [1 John 3:2], we shall understand perfectly by how close and beautiful a bond divine mercy and justice are united; but, as long as we are on earth, weighed down by this mortal mass which blunts the soul, let us hold most firmly that, in accordance with Catholic teaching, there is ‘one God, one faith, one baptism’ [Eph. 4:5]; it is unlawful [nefas] to proceed further in inquiry.”

The word “nefas” means “unlawful, criminal or wicked”.

In regard to questions about whether someone can be saved outside the Church, Pope Pius IX teaches that it’s “unlawful, criminal or wicked” (nefas) to profess anything other than the one Lord, the one faith and the one baptism of divine revelation.  That “one baptism” is celebrated in water, as the Council of Vienne dogmatically declared.

Pope Clement V, Council of Vienne, 1311-1312- “Moreover, one sole baptism regenerating all baptized in Christ – just as ‘one God and one faith’ – is to be faithfully confessed by all, which, celebrated in water in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, we believe to be the perfect remedy for salvation for both adults and children.”  

They Continue To Misquote Trent

It’s remarkable how many John 3:5 mockers continue to use the false “except through” mistranslation of the Council of Trent, Sess. 6, Chap. 4. They commit mortal sin by doing so after they’ve been informed that it’s a false translation. They also deny what the Council of Trent declares in that very passage, namely, that no one gets to Heaven without being born again of “water and the Holy Spirit”. This video covers the matter: The Most Misunderstood Catholic Decree – Council Of Trent, Sess. 6, Chap. 4

“Latin” Mass Banned In Tyler, Texas


November 26, 2024

The statement below was posted by a member of the Vatican II Sect, lamenting the loss of the “Traditional Latin Mass” in Tyler, Texas. (We put “Traditional Latin Mass” in quotation marks because the new rite of ordination is not valid.) The “Latin Mass” has been banned by their fake bishop, with celebrations officially ending on Nov. 30, 2024.

“Last TLM [Traditional Latin Mass] at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Tyler, TX. We have no bishop and... the TLM is taken from us. They won’t even allow us to celebrate the TLM at the Cathedral’s Chapel. So much hate from the hierarchy!” – JMJ777

Frankly, it’s what they deserve for obstinately clinging to a false hierarchy and apostate antipopes. It’s futile to attempt to be Catholic within a fake Church (i.e. the Vatican II Sect). With regard to Tyler, Texas, this video is relevant: “Bishop” Strickland Removed By Francis – What You Need To Know.

Old Testament Practices Pointed To Jesus As The Lamb Of God


Dear Brothers,

… After the fall of man, every person who ever lived was still obliged to worship and obey the true God (even though they didn't always do so).  When the time came for God to fulfill His promise to send mankind a Redeemer, He established the Hebrew religion to prepare them to recognize and accept the Messiah.  The only object of the Hebrew religion was Jesus Christ and His one true Church.  The OT faithful were well aware that their worship and religious practices were figures pointing to the Messiah who was to come, and that one day these practices would end, to be replaced by the eternal realities they pointed to.  That's why, some seven hundred years after the first Passover (when the Jews had fled from Egypt and were instructed by God to sacrifice the lamb), the great OT Prophet Isaiah would cry out: "Send forth, O Lord, the lamb, the ruler of the earth from Petra of the dessert to the mount of the daughter of Sion (Isaiah 16:1-5)."  Historians tell us that by the time of Christ, the lamb was being sacrificed in the Temple twice each day.  Jesus is the Lamb of God, and everybody knows it.

As we watch true prophecy unfolding, we are reminded that when a person rejects the true Catholic faith, he also unwittingly rejects Sacred Scripture; there is only one God and only one divinely-revealed religion.  If a person accepts a false gospel, he cannot correctly understand biblical prophecy.  But what's also very striking... is that only the followers of MHFM are able to understand end-time events in their true light.  Thank you, St. Benedict, for your Order which, in this final battle, has indeed rendered great services to the holy Church and confirmed many in the Faith.

Pope Alexander VII Condemns Adhering To A Theological Opinion Just Because It Wasn’t Condemned


November 22, 2024

Many people who deny the necessity of faith in Jesus Christ and Catholicism for salvation attempt to justify their heretical opinion by appealing to certain liberal pre-Vatican II theologians – some from hundreds of years ago – whose writings or persons were not specifically condemned. They think that adherence to such writings is justified since those writings or persons were not condemned. However, by clinging to such writings in the face of the dogmatic teaching that establishes the absolute necessity of faith in Jesus Christ and Catholicism, they fall into the following condemned error.

Decree of the Holy Office under Pope Alexander VII, Sept. 24, 1665, Condemning Errors: “27. If a book is published by a younger or modern person, its opinion ought to be considered probable, as long as it is not established that it has been rejected by the Apostolic See as improbable.” – Condemned

As we can see, just because some opinion or writing has not been specifically condemned, one cannot necessarily hold it as “probable” (i.e. as a plausible opinion), if the Church’s magisterial teaching clearly contradicts it. Many John 3:5 mockers and heretics fall into this condemned proposition when they ignore the teaching of the Magisterium on salvation and obstinately cling to the false teaching of certain theologians who, for example, heretically taught that souls can be saved in non-Christian religions.

Biden, Dominated By Evil, Gives Award To Planned Parenthood President

Biden gives "Medal of Freedom" to supporter of baby-killing, saying she: "carved an inspiring legacy"

Joe Biden proves again that he’s dominated by evil. He actually gave an award to the notorious supporter of abortion (and former Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards). His choice of words was also noteworthy. Planned Parenthood butchers and in essence “carves up” babies. Hence, the Devil in Biden praised Richards for having “carved an inspiring legacy”. What an outrage. Richards has an aggressive form of brain cancer. That suggests that soon she will die and, barring an extraordinary conversion, she will be in Hell forever receiving a just and mind-boggling punishment for her unspeakable evils.

A Catholic May Use Original Biblical Languages & Consider Ancient Biblical Manuscripts


November 20, 2024

As mentioned in our video, Did St. Paul Really Rebuke St. Peter In Galatians 2?, the Catholic Church’s teaching on the authority of the Latin Vulgate version of the Bible does not prohibit the use of original biblical languages and an examination of textual variants. Pope Pius XII states:

Pope Pius XII, Divino Afflante Spiritu (#22), Sept. 30, 1943: “Wherefore this authority of the Vulgate in matters of doctrine by no means prevents - nay rather today it almost demands - either the corroboration and confirmation of this same doctrine by the original texts or the having recourse on any and every occasion to the aid of these same texts, by which the correct meaning of the Sacred Letters is everywhere daily made more clear and evident. Nor is it forbidden by the decree of the Council of Trent to make translations into the vulgar tongue, even directly from the original texts themselves, for the use and benefit of the faithful and for the better understanding of the divine word…”

Napoleon Threatened To Change The Religion Of Almost All Of Europe


November 17, 2024

During the negotiations between Napoleon and Pope Pius VII concerning the re-normalization of the Church in France after the French Revolution, Napoleon threatened a cardinal in this way:

“So, Monsieur Cardinal, you want a breach! I have no need of Rome. I will act alone. I have no need of the pope. If Henry VIII who barely had an eighth of my power could change the religion of his country and succeed in this endeavor, well I know how, and will be able to do the same. In changing the religion of France, I will change it in almost all of Europe, wherever the influence of my power extends. Rome will realize its loss, it will shed tears, but there will be no remedy.” (Ambrogio A. Caiani, To Kidnap A Pope, Napoleon and Pius VII, p. 93)

The arrogance of that man of dust (who was quite wicked at the time) is remarkable.

Faith Is More Precious Than Gold


St. Peter’s message that faith is more precious than gold, but that it is tested, is especially applicable today during the Great Apostasy, when true faith is rare and there are so many heretics and apostates.

1 Peter 1:6-7 “In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.”

Pope Pius VII Called Upon All The Bishops To Resign


November 16, 2024

In his document Tam Multa of Aug. 15, 1801, Pope Pius VII called upon all the bishops in France at the time to resign in order to finalize an agreement with Napoleon to normalize the Church in the aftermath of the French Revolution. Some refused to do so. Pius VII then suppressed all the existing dioceses of France and removed jurisdiction from the disobedient bishops. By the Bull Qui Christi Domini (November 29, 1801), “Pius VII suppressed all the ancient dioceses throughout the French Republic, and erected sixty new dioceses…” (Gabriel Van den Gheyn, The Catholic Encyclopedia, Vol. 6, “Ghent”, 1909)

A Heretical Novelty

Anyone with a shred of honesty and basic knowledge of Catholic history cannot deny that the false ecumenism that characterizes the Vatican II sect is truly a unheard heretical novelty.

Catholicism and the Vatican II sect are truly two different religions.

Trump Nominates Matt Gaetz And Big Pharma Opponent Robert F. Kennedy Jr.


November 14, 2024

Trump’s nominations, such as Big Pharma opponent RFK Jr. (to oversee Health) and Matt Gaetz (Attorney General), are further proof of our analysis about Trump – i.e. that despite some significant problems (e.g. Israel) he’s not a globalist conspirator, and he is a huge obstacle to the Deep State and the complete takeover of America by communists. We were exactly right. See our videos on him:

Also see the video: Why The Left Rages Against Trump & For Lawlessness.

Despite some major problems, Trump is vastly different from the radical left and much better for the country in so many ways. Many people, including some who claim to be traditional Catholics, became basically unhinged in their analysis of Trump. They failed to evaluate his overall impact and policies (as distinct from his personal problems) in a fair, honest and accurate way. We especially like the selection of Matt Gaetz. Hopefully, if God wills, he will be able to assume the position.

Taylor Marshall Encourages People To Attend Non-Catholic Churches


November 13, 2024

Marshall has an audience that includes many non-Catholics (as well as those who claim to be Catholic). In fact, he reposts non-Catholics on a regular basis. He deliberately told that audience (which includes many Protestants, etc.) that they must get to church, without telling them that it cannot be a non-Catholic church. He stated (without distinction): “Satan doesn’t want you at Church on Sunday. Get there.”

Since he makes no distinction, he sinfully encourages people to attend non-Catholic churches (Protestant, Eastern ‘Orthodox’, etc.) and participate in non-Catholic worship (as well as the Novus Ordo ‘Mass’). It contradicts Catholic teaching because the Church forbids all participation in non-Catholic worship under pain of grave sin. It’s more proof that Taylor Marshall is heretical and that he even endorses false ecumenism. Jesus Christ doesn’t want you at non-Catholic churches (not to mention at the Novus Ordo ‘Mass’, etc.)

For the Catholic teaching against attendance at non-Catholic churches and against participation in non-Catholic worship, see this video/article: Vatican II Is A New Religion (Visual Proof)

Dutch Theologian: God Ordained The Requirement Of Explicit Faith In Christ


November 12, 2024

Fr. Martin Becanus was a Dutch theologian who died in 1624.  He correctly taught that no adult could be saved without explicit faith in Christ, and that God ordained this to be the requirement.

Fr. Martin Becanus, Summa Theologiae Scholasticae, edition 1683, p. 467: “From these testimonies thus I conclude: No adult is able to be justified or attain the remission of sins without explicit faith in Christ.  But faith in Christ consists chiefly in this, that you believe Christ to be true God and true man, who died for our salvation and rose again.  This is the foundation of the whole Christian faith, without which in the New Testament no man can be justified.  Not that it is necessary from the nature of the thing itself, but because God ordained it this way.”

Dedication Of Lateran Basilica

The Temple Of God & The Antichrist Located! (Trent Horn Rebutted)

Dear Brothers in Christ,

Saturday the 9th of November marked the Dedication of the Basilica of Our Savior as shown on your website’s traditional Catholic calendar.

This was included in an email [I received]: Dedication of the Lateran Basilica 324

“The Dedication of the Lateran Basilica celebrates Rome's cathedral and mother church of the Catholic world. It was originally part of the Lateran Palace and was seized by Emperor Nero in retaliation for a Christian uprising. Thus, it was passed down to each Roman emperor, until one remarkable conversion. Rather than terrorizing Christians, Emperor Constantine became one, and he gifted the Lateran Palace to Pope Miltiades. In 324, it was consecrated to Christ the Savior, then later received St. John the Baptist and St. John the Evangelist as co-patrons. Though popes now reside at Vatican City, the Lateran Basilica remains the Pope's official cathedral and symbol of the Church's spiritual authority worldwide.”

Your video debunking the V2 dupe “Christians don’t worship in temples” Trent Horn came to my mind immediately and I had to rewatch it. God has made it irrefutably clear to those who have eyes to see the truth rather than attempt to discredit it. Thank you for your commitment to expanding Christ’s Kingdom.

Sincerely,
Kristine

Gregory The Great: Apostolic See Is “Set Above” All The Churches

Gregory The Great: Apostolic See Is “Set Above” All The Churches

Pope St. Gregory the Great, Book 3, Letter 30: “Inasmuch as it is manifest that the Apostolic See is, by the ordering of God, set over all Churches, there is, among our manifold cares, special demand for our attention when our decision is awaited with a view to the consecration of a bishop.” (J.P. Migne, Patrologia Latina 77:645)

The Eastern ‘Orthodox’ recognize Gregory the Great as a saint, yet reject the truth that the Apostolic See has authority over the entire Church.

Tremendous Help

Sir, I've been looking into Catholicism for a while now, and I just wanted to express my gratitude, for your videos have been of tremendous help to me. I've talked to some novus ordo catholics, and I'm always at shock at how they would reinterpret his ("Pope" Francis) statements into something completely different, or even deny that he made such statements, just to fit their own narratives. It is an anti-truth and destroys one's integrity to the core. I couldn't help but think that if the saints had somehow came back to life in this day and age, they would be deemed heretical.

The Shocking Effects Of The French Revolution


November 2, 2024

This is an interesting quote about the shocking effects of the French Revolution not long after 1789.

For five weeks [in 1800] Spina travelled through the French countryside. For this Italian prelate the situation was shocking, the effects of the [French] Revolution plain. Priests were nowhere to be seen. Clergy were required to dress in normal clothes, which made them indistinguishable from the rest of the population. Many churches remained shut, with nobody to minister to local congregations. Several Catholic chapels and shrines had been rededicated to the republican cults of youth, womanhood, prosperity and old age. The republican calendar had abolished Sundays and the ten-day week seemed to take France away from Catholic rhythms of life. The archbishop felt as if he had entered a heathen land.” (Ambrogio A. Caiani, To Kidnap A Pope, Napoleon and Pius VII, pp. 70-71)

Why The Middle East Is Always At War


November 1, 2024

This statement from Pope Pius XI perfectly explains why the Middle East is always at war.

Pope Pius XI, Quas Primas (#1), Dec. 11, 1925: “… these manifold evils in the world were due to the fact that the majority of men had thrust Jesus Christ and his holy law out of their lives; that these had no place either in private affairs or in politics: and we said further, that as long as individuals and states refused to submit to the rule of our Savior, there would be no really hopeful prospect of a lasting peace among nations.”

St. Gregory VII: Those Who Reject The Papacy Are Not Christians


October 28, 2024

Pope St. Gregory VII, To All The Faithful, 1084: “All who in the world bear the name Christian and truly understand the Christian faith know and believe that St. Peter, the prince of the Apostles, is the father of all Christians and their first shepherd after Christ, and that the holy Roman Church is the mother and teacher of all the churches.” (Wandering Epistles #54)

Pope Gregory XIII: People Must Confess Christ To Be Saved (Translation)


October 25, 2024

In his Sept. 1, 1584 bull (Sancta Mater Ecclesia), Pope Gregory XIII commanded that Jews who attended a synagogue in a Christian area had to hear Christian preaching once a week – preaching that was designed to convert them to the Catholic faith. No one could force them to believe or be baptized, of course; but the popes, in charity, legislated that Jews must hear the preaching of the word in the hope that it would open their hearts to the truth.

In this powerful document Pope Gregory XIII teaches that the entire Jewish nation (without exception) will be driven out from the heavenly Jerusalem unless it confesses Christ. There are no exceptions, because there’s no other name under Heaven whereby men must be saved (Acts 4:12). This is another example of the Catholic Church’s teaching that explicit faith in Christ is essential for salvation. This bull was written in Latin. To our knowledge only our monastery has presented these passages in English.

Pope Gregory XIII, Sancta Mater Ecclesia, Sept. 1, 1584: “Holy Mother Church, whose head is Christ, in pouring out her innate charity far and wide to all men, never ceases with pious affection to pity the particular remnants of the ancient Israelite nation and people of God, and she is gravely saddened that the nation of Jews formerly endowed with special gifts and graces – possessing the adoption of sons, the glory, the testament, the legislation, the worship and the promises, and from whom even Christ our Savior deigned to be born according to the flesh – and now dispersed for so many centuries throughout various parts of the world and wandering wretchedly like an infected flock through pathless and waterless places, is perishing from hunger for the word of God and thirst for the water of restoration, and is not only being driven out far from the earthly Jerusalem over which Our Lord wept, but, which is far graver, from the heavenly Jerusalem as well unless it confesses Christ whom it has denied. We too, not lightly stirred on a daily basis by this compassion and sorrow, are always seeking to devise something whereby provision may be more opportunely made for their conversion and salvation, and whereby they themselves may, with God’s good graces, reach the path of understanding that they have closed off for themselves.” 

This Catholic teaching is denied by countless people in our day (see the video linked below). It’s also interesting that he describes the Jews as “perishing from hunger for the word of God and thirst for the water of restoration”. The water of restoration, of course, refers to the Sacrament of Baptism, which they need – otherwise they will spiritually perish.

Pope Gregory XIII goes on to mention some of the points that preachers should emphasize when trying to convert Jews. Those points include references to the incarnation of Our Lord, His miracles, passion, death, resurrection, descent into Hell, ascension, His spiritual kingdom, the miracles of the Church, etc. He also tells them to emphasize various points that prove the falsity of their Jewish religion, such as:

“… the desolation of the land of these same Jews, their dispersion everywhere on earth at that time, and their captivity, and other dogmas and articles of a similar theme based on the Law and the Prophets; with regard, moreover, to the Jews’ lengthy and vain expectation of the coming of a Messiah and his carnal kingdom; with regard to their vain hope of a return to the land of promise and the restoration of the third temple, which has often if not daily frustrated them; and finally with regard to their manifold various errors and heresies, into which they have most miserably plunged themselves after they refused to recognize Christ the Lord coming in the flesh, and with regard to the false interpretation of the Sacred Scriptures handed down by their rabbis, the letter and sense of which, by distorting with fables, lies and various tricks and techniques, they have corrupted and perverted (and even to this day they do not give up corrupting and perverting them), and with regard to all the other things which might be able to convert them to a recognition of the faith, to the correction of their errors, and to the orthodox faith, they [the preachers] should act prudently with respect to the place, time and theme assumed, and, [armed] with truths and demonstrations taken from Sacred Scripture, they should endeavor to open the light of truth to those people with no disparagement or anger, but with great charity and modesty.” 

It’s interesting that the pope describes the hope for a restoration of a third temple to be a vain hope. This further supports our position that the prophesied end-times temple of God is not a rebuilt Jewish temple, which would not be the temple of God at all. That prophecy refers to what has happened in the Vatican during this Vatican II apostasy. The prophecies are about this period, as our videos (such as Apocalypse Now In the Vatican) cover. Another point the pope told preachers to mention (as further evidence of the truth of Christianity) is that Christ’s gospel was preached throughout the whole world. Well, in Matthew 24:14 Jesus says that the gospel will be preached throughout the whole world and after that the end will come.

Matthew 24:14- “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.”

Hence, the timeline of history that Scripture provides is that the gospel is preached throughout the whole world. That has occurred. Then there is a great apostasy or falling away from it, which we are living through, and then the end comes. The timeline is not: the gospel is preached throughout the world, then it’s rejected, then there’s a restoration, and then it’s rejected again, and then comes the end. No. Thus, the pope’s statement that the gospel was preached throughout the whole world supports the conclusion that the current apostasy is the final apostasy that precedes Christ’s second coming. This is, of course, connected to the prophecies about the beast (i.e. pagan Rome). The beast (i.e.  pagan Rome) was replaced by Christian Rome and Christian Europe, but it returns in the last days under the guise or appearance of the Church (by means of a Counter Church).

On May 28, 1581, Pope Gregory XIII published the bull Christianae Nobiscum, which implemented measures to help Christians who were held captive by infidels. Gregory XIII was concerned that Christians in captivity, as a result of the pressures and the hardships, might give up the faith received in baptism.

Pope Gregory XIII, Christianae Nobiscum, May 28, 1581: “... lest – owing to the gradually languishing infirmity of the flesh afflicted by extreme ills, and owing to our enemy the devil insinuating himself into their minds weakened and deprived of the preaching of the Word of God and of the solace of Sacrifices and Sacraments – they, succumbing to desperation, be induced to desert the faith received in baptism…”

This is another example of the Church’s teaching that people receive the saving faith in baptism. That's why only the water baptized are called the faithful. The video below shows how the Catholic Church's official teaching that no one is saved without faith in Jesus Christ is widely denied today by those who claim to be Catholic and even 'traditionalists'.

What Is Actual vs. Habitual Grace?

Actual vs. Habitual Grace

Grace is frequently distinguished between actual and habitual. Actual grace is a gift or assistance that enables a person to perform good acts. This grace disappears with the performance of the act. Habitual grace is an enduring state or quality that makes a person pleasing to God and disposes that person to perform supernatural, good and meritorious acts.

Fr. Ripperger, SSPX, FSSP, CMRI, Etc. Promote Grave Errors – Refuted By Cistercian Theologian

Amazing quotes! Not only does the Cisterian theologian affirm, in very explicit terms, the truth that no one is saved without the Catholic faith, but he confirms that this truth is derived from Catholic dogma. Excellent video!

False Traditionalists & Liberals

 It's amazing how in-line on this issue the "traditionalists" and the open liberals are. Their quotes are essentially interchangeable. Thank you for the translation of Peter de Lorca, and the many other translations you've provided from sources that are obscure in our day.

Shame Of Heretics

Another video to put heretics to shame. There is simply no way these heretics can keep up, they don’t have the faith and they can’t actually give a solid reason why they believe what they believe. God bless MHFM.

St. Ephrem: Everyone Needs Baptism


October 17, 2024

St. Ephrem, Hymns For The Feast Of Epiphany, Hymn 10: “… That the purifier of all might be baptized with all — He came down and sanctified the water for our baptism... But if He, the All-cleanser, was baptized — What man is there that shall not be baptized?— for grace has come to baptism— to wash away the foulness of our wound.”
