Hello,
I’ve been thoroughly convinced that there is absolutely no salvation outside the Church. Several people have confronted me about it, and time and time again, they couldn’t answer objections. These people who believe in ‘invincible ignorance with baptism of desire’ are so dishonest and illogical, they contradict themselves all the time. Thank you, I look forward to seeing more videos defending the absolute necessity of the Catholic faith for salvation.
Thanks,
Alvaro Morales

Repeat violent criminals and sex offenders, who often go from one place to another and continue to commit crimes, are a prime example of why the death penalty is necessary for certain people. Not only do certain crimes deserve death, but many people are so hardened in sin and wickedness that their presence is a plague to the Earth. Hence, in the Old Testament God instituted the death penalty and sometimes called for large numbers of wicked people to be killed (e.g. Deut. 20:16-17).

A Massive Apostasy
Dear Brothers,
I have only just watched this video on the "gay marriage" law in New York Gay "Marriage" law in NY allowed to pass by Benedict XVI and the "Bishop" of Albany for the first time today.
The truth and purity of your clear cut response thirteen years ago to this abomination is a joy to listen to, especially since things have now got so much worse, being fully, universally accepted with widespread persecution of those who condemn it.
This video is the complete and straightforward Catholic response which I have never heard elsewhere and it simply leads to the honest conclusion that there is massive apostasy not only of clergy but nearly all the laity who also tolerate this celebrated iniquity by remaining silent and in communion with these apostates.
… Thank you so much for all your faithful videos and I thank God I at last got the internet to find them because they are where the Catholic Church is still to be found.

What Trump did in his first week is a striking confirmation of the accuracy of our analysis of him – i.e. despite some significant problems, he’s massively different from (and better than) the radical left and he’s not a globalist conspirator. Here are just a few things he has already done. Those who focus only on certain negative things about Trump, and do not share the following facts, ARE NOT BEING HONEST.
IN ONE WEEK TRUMP HAS DONE THE FOLLOWING:
• Signed an executive order that “officially defines the words man and woman, removes gender ideology from government, bans men from women’s prisons, requires that a person’s biological sex is on their government ID, protects kids in school from trans indoctrination, and several other measures.”
• Dropped the “Covid” vaccine requirement for legal immigrants and for members of the Military
• Reinstated (with full back pay) those who had been banned from the Military for refusing the vaccine
• Banned “Transgenders” from the Military
• Pardoned 23 Pro-Lifers convicted by the Biden regime (and freed a number of them from prison)
• Changed the Biden “Department of Justice” policy relating to the FACE Act that prosecuted Pro-Lifers
• Banned federal funding for abortion overseas (Mexico City Policy) and “signed an executive order aimed at enforcing the Hyde Amendment, which has banned the use of any federal dollars on abortions since 1977.” (The Hill, Jan. 24, 2025)
• Released a statement for the pro-life “March For Life” on the same day that he took the aforementioned measures - JD Vance (Vice President) also gave a speech at the rally
• Withdrew from the World Health Organization (an arm of the global conspiracy) and the United Nation's Paris Climate Accord
• Ordered the CDC to immediately stop working with the World Health Organization, and thus to stop giving their fake reports on alleged global pandemic and virus threats
• Banned the creation of a central bank digital currency: “US President Donald Trump issued an executive order Thursday effectively banning the establishment of a central bank digital currency” (https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/trump-bans-creation-of-a-digital-dollar-to-protect-americans-7547431)
• Removed countless harmful regulations
• Declassified and released the JFK, RFK, and Martin Luther King, Jr. Assassination Files
• Brought about a cease-fire in Gaza (which, despite its flaws, is far better than the destruction and death that occurred in the previous year)
• Reportedly shared a video that criticized Netanyahu and described him as a cause of the wars in the Middle East
• Has repeatedly said that he wants to end wars and unnecessary conflicts
• Has secured the border and aggressively removed and prosecuted violent criminals and sex offenders (which is huge for justice in the country)
• Enacted a “one-flag” policy, banning all other flags (including the “LGBT” flag)
• Fired countless radical leftists and Deep State bureaucrats
• Revoked the security clearances of many Deep State conspirators (e.g. John Brennan)
• Aggressively used tariffs or the threat of them (which further shows that he’s not a globalist conspirator)
• Stopped hiring IRS workers (who are a tool of oppression) and removed Diversity, Equity and Inclusion nonsense from the government
• Took measures to enable energy independence
• Pardoned a large group of conservatives who were unjustly imprisoned by the Biden regime over the Jan. 6 hoax
• Directly rebuked the Bank of America CEO for de-banking conservatives
• Dispatched the Army Corps of Engineers to help those in North Carolina devastated by a hurricane (which Biden didn’t do)
Each one of these actions by itself is extremely significant, and presumably this list will only grow once more of his nominees (such as RFK, Jr.) are confirmed.
Why God Saved Trump – Stunning & Alarming Biblical Sign For America
On Jan. 25, 2025, Antipope Francis presided over “Ecumenical Vespers” at St Paul's Outside The Walls. He gave the final blessing together with Anglican “prelate” Ian Ernest and “Metropolitan” Polycarp of the “Orthodox” Ecumenical “Patriarchate” of Constantinople. That’s a public mortal sin and an expression of heresy. It’s more clear proof that he’s not the pope. This video/article explains why such acts are condemned by Catholic teaching:

Stupid “Orthodox” Heretic
Eastern “Orthodoxy” Exposed: Their Heretical Doctrine Of God
Funny, this doctrine is why I am converting to Orthodoxy. (because it’s true) and if you think it’s heretical and creates a “Second God above God”, think, or maybe feel, a little bit longer. Cheers.
Nicholas
You are pretty stupid. Did you not see the part which exposes their belief that certain “uncreated energies” “began to exist”? That’s not Christian. It’s blatantly heretical and contrary to the teaching of all the fathers and councils. They also reject the Papacy, which is taught in the Bible and by the ecumenical councils. You are a heretic headed for damnation. See this playlist for other videos that totally refute Eastern “Orthodoxy”: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGVSKByrYzss4weDvPDa-2SANNmPrxaqD

Every Protestant State Outlawed The Mass
In the 17th century following the Protestant revolt, “Every Protestant state outlawed the Mass; every new state the Protestants could acquire did likewise.” (Warren H. Carroll, The Cleaving Of Christendom, pp. 508-509). Along with “Communion” in the hand, services facing the people, etc., that action of the Protestants was a precursor to the Vatican II Sect's removal of the Latin Mass (and its replacement by the counterfeit New Mass) during the Great Apostasy.

Maria
Near the end of their 40 years of wandering in the wilderness, the Israelites came to a place called Sin. They complained bitterly to Moses and Aaron that there was no water.
Numbers 20:2-5 “And the people wanting water, came together against Moses and Aaron: And making a sedition, they said: Would God we had perished among our brethren before the Lord. Why have you brought out the church of the Lord into the wilderness, that both we and our cattle should die? Why have you made us come up out of Egypt, and have brought us into this wretched place which cannot be sowed, nor bringeth forth figs, nor vines, nor pomegranates, neither is there any water to drink?”
Moses and Aaron went to the Lord, and He said:
Numbers 20:7-12 “And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: Take the rod, and assemble the people together, thou and Aaron thy brother, and speak to the rock before them, and it shall yield waters. And when thou hast brought forth water out of the rock, all the multitude and their cattle shall drink. Moses therefore took the rod, which was before the Lord, as he had commanded him, and having gathered together the multitude before the rock, he said to them: Hear, ye rebellious and incredulous: Can we bring you forth water out of this rock? And when Moses had lifted up his hand, and struck the rock twice with the rod, there came forth water in great abundance, so that the people and their cattle drank, and the Lord said to Moses and Aaron: Because you have not believed me, to sanctify me before the children of Israel, you shall not bring these people into the land, which I will give them.”
Notice that God commanded them to “speak” to the rock. Instead, Moses struck the rock twice – an act of disobedience that the Lord connected to a lack of faith or confidence in Him. After this incident, God told Moses to strip Aaron of the priestly vestments and put them on Aaron’s son. Moses did as God commanded, and Aaron died.
In Deuteronomy 32, God also mentions this incident.
Deuteronomy 32:51-52 “Because you trespassed against me in the midst of the children of Israel, at the waters of contradiction in Cades of the desert of Sin: and you did not sanctify me among the children of Israel. Thou shalt see the land before thee, which I will give to the children of Israel, but thou shalt not enter into it.”
Despite his fault on this occasion, Moses continued to lead the people of God until his death, even though he didn’t enter the Promised Land. He also appeared with Our Lord and Elijah just before the Transfiguration (Mt. 17).
We know the New Testament was inspired by the Holy Ghost. Who inspired the Old Testament?…
Robert
All three divine persons (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) inspired both the Old and the New Testaments. All the ad extra activities of God (i.e. activities toward the creation), such as the inspiration of Scripture, belong to God according to His divine nature/power. Since the divine nature/power is identical in all three divine persons, all those activities are common to all three persons.
Pope Eugene IV, Council of Florence, "Cantate Domino", 1441: “… the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit are not three principles of the creature, but one principle.”
However, the inspiration of Scripture is attributed by appropriation to the Holy Spirit. To appropriate an action to one person of the Trinity means to attribute it to that person in a special way without excluding the others. This is done to help us better understand or remember, by way of analogy or comparison, that person’s role in the Trinity. Thus inspiration, for example, is appropriated to the Holy Spirit (even though, as stated, it properly belongs to all three persons) because the Holy Spirit is the love between the Father and the Son, and inspiration is intended for the good of others.
2 Peter 1:21- “… the holy men of God spoke, inspired by the Holy Ghost.”
It’s interesting that Pope St. Gregory VII (a Benedictine who became one of the strongest popes in Church history) was falsely accused by his enemies (i.e. supporters of the excommunicated King Henry IV) of being a “false monk”, a “fanatic”, a “false prophet”, and more.
The Synod of Brixen’s false accusations against Pope St. Gregory VII, June 25, 1080: “… the insane fury of a certain man called Hildebrand [Pope Gregory VII], a false monk… the ravages committed by this fanatic… To that order which God has established, he has preferred his dreams, his fancies, and those of other persons. He wears the habit of a monk, while he is not one in reality. He has withdrawn himself from all ecclesiastical discipline, and has never been subject to any master… It has been proved against him that he has caused the violent deaths of four of the Roman pontiffs, whom he poisoned by the aid of an accomplice, a certain intimate of his, John Brachintus, who, although his repentance was very late, yet, at the moment of death, confessed in a loud voice that it was he who had administered the poison.” (Arnold Harris Matthew, The Life and Times of Hildebrand, Pope Gregory VII, 1910, pp. 190-191)
This is what Pope St. Gelasius wrote about bishops in the East who were negligent in rejecting communion with heretics who opposed the Council of Chalcedon.
Pope St. Gelasius, Letter 27 To The Bishops Of The East (AD 492-496): “Nor is there any doubt that, just as in each and every heresy (a fact that needs to be repeated without ceasing, because no Christian doubts that it is unwavering) all accomplices, followers, and those in communion with a crookedness that has been condemned once and for all, are adjudged to a matching fate… let nobody offer the excuse that he did not hold communion with someone or other who is perhaps more obviously heretical, or he will be regarded as being in communion with a heretic. For what help is it to him if he does not hold communion with him and is nevertheless joined in communion with those who are not hostile to communion with him? But if he was in communion with none of them or is not in any sort of communion [with such heretics], he will be of the sincere, Catholic, and apostolic communion and faith. Otherwise, there is no way that he could avoid the compound infection of that indiscriminate involvement… But this involvement [in communion with heretics] is thought by the Greeks, among whom there is no distinction between true and false, to be an easy matter and without blame, and because they want to be in communion with all reprobates they are shown not to stand firm in any rectitude.”

Truly Frightening
Aztec Pagan Ritual In “Catholic Church” During “Mass”
Thats truly frightening.
John Jeevan
Pope St. Gelasius, Letter 1, (AD 492-496): “… is it the case that falsehood will not be falsehood because it is held by the multitude? Will truth, then, not be truth because it is cherished by the few?... There are examples without number, from which it is shown that while falsehood prowls among the many, truth stands firm among the few... Let us, therefore, reject falsehood even among the very many, provided we hold onto truth even among the very few. When the whole world was holding onto falsehood, was the Church not standing firm among the Apostles just as the truth commanded? When the entire people was led astray, did the Church not remain with seven thousand Israelites? (1 Kings 19:18) And if we run through all of them, we will find examples without number; is it not written: ‘the way that leads to life is narrow and hard’ (Mt. 7:14) and ‘the way that leads toward death is broad and wide’ (Mt. 7:13)?”

XXVIII., p. 206)

Antipope Francis has named “Cardinal” Robert McElroy (who was previously in San Diego) as the new “Archbishop” of Washington, DC. McElroy is an outrageous apostate who endorses homosexual activity and much more. We believe that Antipope Francis deliberately sent him to Washington, DC, to counteract some of the conservative changes and policies that a Trump administration will implement. This video exposes the outrageous heretic McElroy, who is a prime example of why the Vatican II Sect is the end-times Counter Church.

In 1570 Pope St. Pius V excommunicated the wicked Protestant “Queen” Elizabeth I and condemned her as a heretic. Many Catholics were martyred under Elizabeth’s evil reign. She also had visions of Hell just prior to her death.
“Queen Elizabeth died [in 1603] at her castle in Richmond, in stark terror, fighting sleep, speechless at the end, with her finger in her mouth… To Admiral Lord Howard… who tried to persuade her to go to bed, she said: ‘If you were in the habit of seeing such things in your bed as I do in mind, you would not persuade me to go there… I am tied with a chain of fire around my neck.’ And to Lady Scrope, her maid of honor, she said: ‘I saw one night my own body, exceedingly lean and fearful, in a light of fire. Do you see sights in the night?’… [She] thus went to her death and Judgment with visions of Hell…” (Warren H. Carroll, The Cleaving Of Christendom, p. 481)

In our recent video, Novus Ordo Supporter Demolished On Loss Of Office & Heresy, we refuted the grave misuse and mistranslations of St. Robert Bellarmine that are widespread among defenders of the Vatican II Sect. Below are some additional quotes from St. Robert Bellarmine. They make it extremely clear that, in his view, neither a council nor all the cardinals gathered together nor anyone else can judge a pope while he’s still considered the pope. These passages further prove that Bellarmine believed that a manifest heretic would lose authority and cease to be pope prior to any such judgment or intervention. When Bellarmine refers to a manifest heretic being judged, he’s referring to someone who has already ceased to be the pope.
St. Robert Bellarmine, De Conciliis, Book 1, Chap. 10: “For on account of suspicions concerning the doctrine and life of the pontiffs, there were never convened any councils except provincial or national. Neither does it seem at all necessary for a major council [to be gathered for this reason]; for as long as [dum] he is truly Pontiff, he cannot be judged by any council, unless perhaps he himself grants power to the council for examining his own case, and of passing a discretionary sentence, not nevertheless a coercive sentence.”
St. Robert Bellarmine, De Romano Pontifice, Book 2, Chap. 26: “… the Roman Pontiff is able to be judged by no one on Earth… even if he had no temporal power, he cannot in any manner be judged on Earth by any Christian princes, whether secular or ecclesiastical [i.e. bishops] nor by all simultaneously gathered in council (neque ab omnibus simul in Concilio congregatis).”
St. Robert Bellarmine, De Conciliis, On Councils, Book 1, Chap. 9: “... General Councils should become acquainted with controversies that have sprung up around the Roman Pontiff, but not audaciously to pass sentence against him.”
St. Robert Bellarmine, De Romano Pontifice, Book 2, Chap. 30: “Second, to be deposed from the Pontificate unwillingly is without doubt a punishment; therefore the Church deposing the Pontiff against his will without doubt punishes him. But to punish is of a superior and judge… Therefore the fifth opinion is true. A manifestly heretical pope automatically ceases to be pope and head, just as through himself he ceases to be a Christian and a member of the Body of the Church; wherefore he can be judged and punished by the Church. This is the position of all the ancient fathers, who teach that manifest heretics immediately (mox) lose all jurisdiction.”
St. Robert Bellarmine, De Romano Pontifice, Book 2, Chap. 29: “It is lawful, I say, to resist him by not doing what he commands and by preventing him from accomplishing his will; nevertheless it is not lawful to judge, punish or depose him; because this is only [the role] of a superior.”
The final passage is another one that’s abused by Vatican II Sect heretics.
St. Robert Bellarmine, De Conciliis, Book 1, Chap. 21: “In addition to this is the fact that the Pontiff at a Council is not only the Judge, but has many colleagues, that is, all the Bishops, who, if they could convict him of heresy, would also be able to judge and depose him, even against his will.”
Some cite this passage to argue that Bellarmine held that a Roman Pontiff could be judged and deposed against his will! In the process they grossly misunderstand Bellarmine and accuse him of the heresy of Conciliarism; for if a council could depose a valid pope against his will, then it is superior to a pope. Indeed, Bellarmine explicitly teaches (e.g. De Romano Pontifice, Book 2, Chap. 30) that to depose another unwillingly is to inflict a punishment and involves the role of a “superior”. That’s why he adopts the position that a manifest heretic automatically ceases to be pope. In the passage cited above from De Conciliis in Book 1, Chap. 21 (which the Vatican II Sect members misuse), Bellarmine is not dealing with loss of office. He’s responding to an objection that Protestants make to Roman Pontiffs presiding at general councils. In responding to that objection, Bellarmine simply states that in the context of such a council there would be many judges who, if they could convict someone of heresy, could then judge and depose him “even against his will”. He was not teaching, as the neo-conciliarists of the Vatican II Sect contend, that the person who might thus be convicted, judged, and deposed even against his will remained a valid pope until the conviction and judgment. On the contrary, he held that “so long as” the man is truly pontiff “he cannot be judged by any council” (De Conciliis, Book 1, Chap. 10).
In fact, since Bellarmine teaches that to convict someone of heresy enables that person to be judged and deposed even against his will (De Conciliis, Book 1, Chap. 21), and he repeatedly teaches that a valid Roman Pontiff cannot possibly be judged and deposed against his will by any council (for then the Roman Pontiff would be inferior to the council), that means that Bellarmine did not believe that a Roman Pontiff (while he is considered the Roman Pontiff) could be convicted of heresy. Only someone who has already automatically (ipso facto) ceased to be pope in the sight of the Church for manifest heresy can be thus convicted and deposed against his will.
Bellarmine: The First Principles Are Self-Evident
St. Robert Bellarmine, De Iustificatione, Book 3, Chap. 2: “… the first principles of things, which, with the words themselves explained, without any other reasoning are believed by all to be true, such as: the same thing cannot both exist and not exist; the whole is greater than the part, etc.”

Proofs Of Christ’s Divinity At His Birth
St. Francis De Sales: “At His Birth we have very clear proofs of Our Lord’s Divinity. Angels descend from Heaven and announce to the shepherds that a Savior is born [Luke 2:8-14] to them. Magi come to adore Him [Mt. 2:1-11]. This clearly shows us that He was more than man, just as, on the contrary, His moaning as He lies in His manger shivering from the cold shows us that He was truly man.” (Sermon for Christmas Midnight Mass, Dec. 25, 1622)

Anacletus II was an antipope who was elected in 1130, after Pope Innocent II had been canonically chosen by a commission of eight cardinals that was entrusted with the papal election. Antipope Anacletus II reigned in Rome for eight years. His reign in Rome did not end until his death in 1138. At one point, Anacletus was supported unanimously by the clergy and people of Rome.
John Doran and Damian J. Smith, Pope Innocent II (1130-1143), p. 9: “Central to the Anacletan claim was the marvellous and astonishing concord of the clergy and people of Rome who had unanimously elected him.”
The reign of Antipope Anacletus II in Rome, with the full support of the clergy and people of Rome, provides an instructive historical precedent for what we’ve seen during the post-Vatican II apostasy: i.e. antipopes reigning in Rome for years.
From The Pit Of Hell
It is impossible for the one true catholic Church to lead the faithful into error or teach heresy. This is catholic doctrine. The novus ordo church and religion are out of the pit of hell, and for them to condone and promote sodomy is demonic.

The Vatican II Sect is the end-times Counter Church.

Has Me Wondering

This presentation has me wondering if John Paul ll was the False Prophet written of in the Apocalypse? He was the most traveled Pope in the history of the Catholic Church, right?

Actually, he was the Antichrist. See these videos, among others:

Also, it's crucial that recognize that he was not a valid pope but an antipope, as our material explains.

It was fitting for Christ to be born in Bethlehem for a number of reasons. St. Thomas Aquinas states:
St. Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologiae, Pt. 3, Q. 35, A. 7: “It is written (Micah 5:2): ‘And thou, Bethlehem, Ephrata . . . out of thee shall He come forth unto Me, that is to be the ruler in Israel.’… Therefore He willed to be born at Bethlehem, where David was born, in order that by the very birthplace the promise made to David might be shown to be fulfilled. The Evangelist points this out by saying: ‘Because He was of the house and of the family of David.’ Secondly, because, as Gregory says (Hom. viii in Evang.): ‘Bethlehem is interpreted 'the house of bread.’ It is Christ Himself who said, ‘I am the living Bread which came down from heaven.’”

St. Cyprian’s erroneous position that heretics could not receive or confer baptism validly is of course well known. We’ve mentioned it repeatedly as an example of how individual Church fathers and theologians can be wrong. But it’s worth noting that, in arguing for his incorrect position, Cyprian pointed out that it was “no new or sudden thing”. He believed that his position was very ancient and represented the Apostolic Tradition. He claimed that “very many bishops” agreed and that “thousands of heretics” were reconciled to the Church by baptizing them unconditionally because they considered it impossible for those heretics to have been validly baptized. This is a prime example of how individual Church fathers can be quite wrong and how an extremely ancient practice or position endorsed by Church fathers can be wrong. Hence, we must always ultimately base our conclusions on the teaching of the Magisterium and the Chair of St. Peter.
St. Cyprian, Epistle 72, To Jubaianus: “… concerning the baptism of heretics; who, placed without, and established outside the Church, arrogate to themselves a matter neither within their right nor their power. This baptism we cannot consider as valid or legitimate, since it is manifestly unlawful among them… But among us it is no new or sudden thing for us to judge that those are to be baptized who come to the Church from among the heretics, since it is now many years and a long time ago, that, under Agrippinus— a man of worthy memory — very many bishops assembling together have decided this; and thenceforward until the present day, so many thousands of heretics in our provinces have been converted to the Church, and have neither despised nor delayed, nay, they have both reasonably and gladly embraced, the opportunity to attain the grace of the life-giving layer and of saving baptism.”
St. Robert Bellarmine also noted that the local council which endorsed the false view on the validity of baptism received among heretics was attended by 85 bishops.
St. Robert Bellarmine, On Councils, Book II, Chap. 10: “That [local] councils of this kind could err, there is the witness of the Council of Carthage under Cyprian, which was national, most famous, legitimate and of 85 bishops, of which many were martyrs or confessors, as is clear from the letter of Cyprian to Jubaianus, and still it erred.”
