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.

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…”

Fascinating Video
Is America Mentioned In Bible Prophecy?
Thank you for the excellent video Is America mentioned in Bible prophecy. It was fascinating to be informed of the links between the origins of your Monastery and also the factors that led to its relocation to its current address, instigated by your founder Brother Joseph Natale. I much appreciate the huge amount of information about yourselves and the links, which have gradually become apparent, with Catholic prophecy against the background of the places and names in Pennsylvania and Philadelphia which have Biblical significance and are instructive for the lateness of the hour before Our Lord's return.
It was a wide ranging video, covering so many issues of the Apocalypse, the role of Trump and America in these final days, and the importance of the hidden Church in the final days in reaffirming the Faith and saving souls.
A video such as this, which is thoughtful but also a reflection on the work of your Monastery, is something of significance in itself. It has an air of a wrapping up of things, of a testament to what has been done and what is needed to save your soul as we get closer to the fulfilment of all the prophecies leading to Jesus's return. It is important to watch this video and understand the significance of the times in which we live and be spiritually prepared for what is coming.
God bless you.

Wonderful video. God bless MHFM! I converted to the Traditional Catholic Faith thanks to your material. (Marcos Roberto) from Brazil
This is a good quote from St. Robert Bellarmine that we cited in our video called The Real History Of “Orthodoxy”: Playlist That Refutes Eastern "Orthodoxy" In it St. Robert Bellarmine correctly stated that God allowed Constantinople to fall on the feast of the Holy Spirit precisely to signify that the Greeks’ (i.e. the Eastern schismatics’) rebellion against the truth was the reason for their destruction.
St. Robert Bellarmine, De Christo, Book 2, Chap. 30: “… in order that they [the Greeks] would understand that the reason for their destruction was pertinacity in error concerning the procession of the Holy Spirit, on the very feast days themselves of the Holy Spirit Constantinople was captured by the Turks, the emperor was killed, and the empire was entirely extinguished... Therefore many compare the Greek Church to the Kingdom of Samaria, which separated itself from the true temple, and in the end was led away into perpetual captivity.”
However, in a fallacious and dishonest attempt to respond to the point we made about this incident in a previous video, a certain Eastern schismatic badly misrepresented our statement and attacked a strawman. He falsely claimed that we argued in our video on councils that Constantinople fell in 1453 because the Florentine Union was not enforced, as if we held that there was no effort by the leaders in Constantinople at the time to officially enforce the Florentine Union. But we said no such thing. He misrepresented our argument. In fact, our video on councils specifically mentioned that the Florentine Union was officially proclaimed in the main church in Constantinople on Dec. 12, 1452. Rather, the point we very clearly made is that DESPITE THE UNION having been officially proclaimed in Constantinople, many of THE PEOPLE IN GENERAL REMAINED OPPOSED TO IT.
At times the opposition was so severe that the ecclesiastical authorities in favor of the union had to leave the main church in Constantinople. The people were widely of the sentiment that “it’s better to die than to Latinize.” As a consequence of such widespread resistance to the Florentine Union and Constantinople’s history of rebellion against the Papacy and the Filioque, God allowed the city to fall on Pentecost (the feast of the Holy Spirit). An important analogy can be drawn here to Joshua 7, in which we read that Israel suffered a humiliating defeat because one man (who was not the leader) gravely disobeyed God. How much more, then, would long-term and widespread rebellion by the people in Constantinople be grounds for God to allow their destruction on a date that obviously signified His displeasure with their rejection of the truth about the Holy Spirit?
Since the Eastern schismatic could not refute the point (and the powerful fact that convicts them of their heresy), he instead misrepresented our argument and attacked a strawman in the manner described above. That’s typical of liars and dishonest heretics. The same individual is actually an inveterate liar who misrepresents many things and spreads many other falsehoods. His positions (like those of other supporters of Eastern "Orthodoxy") are thoroughly refuted in our playlist on Eastern "Orthodoxy". However, God willing, we plan to post some additional points that will further expose how such individuals use false claims and misrepresentations to deceive and mislead.
The Baptismal Character Is Required
Bellarmine On The Baptism Of Our Lady & The Apostles
What was the purpose of Mary being baptized if she had no original or actual sin?
B Wave
Among other things, it’s necessary for everyone to receive the baptismal character or the seal (an indelible mark on the soul that’s imprinted by Baptism). Also, only those who have received the Sacrament of Baptism are subject to the Roman Pontiff (which is necessary for salvation).
Ephesians 1:13- “… you were sealed by the Holy Spirit of promise.”
Ephesians 4:30- “And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.”
Apocalypse 22:4- “They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.”
Catechism of The Council of Trent: “In the character impressed by Baptism, both effects are exemplified. By it we are qualified to receive the other Sacraments, and the Christian is distinguished from those who do not profess the faith.”
More Fools Than Wise Men
St. Robert Bellarmine, De Romano Pontifice, Book 1, Chap. 6: “… it is firmly established that there are more fools than wise men, more evil people than good ones…”
The False Church & Francis On An Atheist
Hello,
I just wanted to share a sentiment with you all. I have heard you share in some videos that anyone who is “traditional” [and obstinately] in the false church is of bad-will because they completely ignore the heresy at the top. I’ve been thinking a lot about this, mostly because my husband and I have been trying to evangelize our friends, and it’s so very interesting. I was raised atheist, with a Protestant influence from my grandmother. My first interaction with what I thought was Catholicism, was seeing who I thought was the pope tell a little boy his atheist [parent] was very likely to be in heaven. Upon seeing this I immediately believed Catholicism to be false, I was only about 12 but I hated it from then on. Imagine how many others do the same and are not blessed to find the truth later? I feel like all of these “trads” cannot see that, they are happy THEY are supposedly Catholic but they fail to see all those being misled specifically because they choose not to denounce the false church. Thank you for your material and all you do, and God Bless you all.
Z.S
St. Robert Bellarmine, De Romano Pontifice, Book 1, Chap. 23: “The twenty-first prerogative [of St. Peter] is that Christ by His own hands baptized Peter alone. For Evodius, Peter’s successor in the Episcopate of Antioch, writes in a letter entitled τὸ φῶς [The Light] that among women only the Virgin, His mother, was baptized by Christ, and among men, only Peter [was baptized by Him]; and that Andrew, James, and John were baptized by Peter, and the rest by them. This is what Euthymius relates in Chapter 3 of John and Nicephorus in Book 2, Chapter 3 of his History.””
Gregory XIV Threatened Excommunication For Supporting Calvinist
In January 1591 Pope Gregory XIV “renewed all former decrees against [then Calvinist] Henry of Navarre as a relapsed heretic, who because of that status had lost his right of succession to the French throne, and told the French bishops they must withdraw all support from Henry within fifteen days or be excommunicated and lose their dioceses.” (Warren H. Carroll, The Cleaving Of Christendom, p. 443)

Capitalizing on the hype surrounding Antipope Francis’ current health status, false traditionalist Taylor Marshall (who posts some truth but has misled many people with disastrously false conclusions) recently published a click-bait video in which he scandalously calls the notorious heretic Francis “Pope Francis”, and he doesn’t even mention that Francis needs to convert to the Catholic faith in order to be saved. Marshall’s act was outrageous because the notorious heretic (and promoter of sodomy) Antipope Francis is obviously not the pope, and he is guilty of countless public mortal sins against the faith (as our material documents). As just one example of many that could be cited:
Antipope Francis, Sep 13, 2024: "Every religion is a way to arrive at God... There is only one God, and each of us is a language, so to speak, in order to arrive at God. Sikh, Muslim, Hindu, Christian, they are different paths."
Thus, Francis must not be called “Pope”. Further, Marshall himself said this in 2022 (when he was trying to appeal to a more conservative audience that was fed up with Francis’ constant heresies, such as his participation in a demonic prayer to the “sacred circle of spirits”): “I do not see how Francis Bergoglio can be the Vicar of Christ.” (July 29, 2022) So much for that statement.
Marshall, who wants to please men more than God, knows that calling him “Pope Francis” at this time (and praying for his supposedly “holy death”) – without specifically mentioning that Francis needs to convert to the faith and repent of his abominations in order to be forgiven – is more palatable to people and will be a popular message. Yet, it compromises the truth that Francis is not the pope and cannot possibly have a holy death unless he repents and converts to the Catholic faith. Marshall is going to be shocked when, barring a conversion (for which we hope), he is condemned by God and discovers that such compromises and misrepresentations of the truth aren’t tolerated by God (especially in one who wants to be a teacher (James 3:1). These matters are extremely serious, and people must tell the full truth without compromise. His public act of praying specifically for the “holy death” of “Pope Francis” (without the aforementioned clarifications) may seem to be charitable to those who don’t care about the Catholic faith. But it’s not. It’s phoniness. It’s false charity that compromises the faith. Yes, one may pray for any person who is still alive. But in the case of the notorious heretic Antipope Francis (whose public mortal sins and heresies are numerous and the damage he’s done incalculable), it’s scandalous to call him pope. Further, any public prayer conducted for him in particular would have to include the clarification that it’s for his conversion to the Catholic faith which he has publicly denied and does not profess.
We’ve posted in article form some of the key quotes from this video: Fr. Ripperger, SSPX, FSSP, CMRI, Etc. Promote Grave Errors – Refuted By Cistercian Theologian. Those quotes include interesting passages from a Cistercian theologian named Pedro De Lorca who died in the 17th century. Based on Scripture and Catholic dogma (such as the Council of Florence), he correctly taught that no Catholic will dare to hold that any non-Christian can be saved without faith in Christ. This truth of the Church is rejected by almost all so-called traditionalist priests today during the Great Apostasy.
Pedro De Lorca, Commentaria, et disputationes in Secundam secundae Divi Thomae, edition 1614, p. 122: “Let the second reason [that explicit faith in Christ is necessary] be the fact that, by my reckoning, no Catholic will dare to concede at this time that any non-Christian can be saved. But no one is a Christian except by explicit faith, for in this the Christian differs from the Jew. Otherwise, a Jew could be called a Christian if indeed he professes implicit faith in Christ.”
When time permits, we also plan (God willing) to bring out even more evidence to refute the dishonest attempts made by some to evade this truth and confuse people about the Church’s teaching on this matter.

Many John 3:5 mockers not only continue to push the false idea of “baptism of desire”, but they pertinaciously promote the demonstrably wrong explanation of the false theory of “baptism of desire” that was advanced by certain saints and theologians. That theory – which wrongly applies a concept that’s applicable to penance and the recovery of justification to first justification – is that some people can be saved by a “baptism of desire” which does not remove the temporal punishment due to sin and therefore does not confer the grace of baptism or regeneration. Consequently they hold that someone could die with a “baptism of desire” and be saved but still might have to suffer in Purgatory for past sins because the temporal punishment due to sin wasn’t taken away by the “baptism of desire”. But that explanation is demonstrably wrong because it’s dogmatically defined (and directly taught by Jesus) that no one can be saved (or initially justified) without having received the grace of regeneration, in which a person became a new creation and all temporal punishment due to sin was removed. Despite the flagrant contradiction between Catholic teaching and the aforementioned explanation of “BOD”, they still won’t abandon the aforementioned explanation/position. Since they obstinately cling to a view that is clearly opposed to dogmatic teaching, that proves that they are worshippers of man with no fidelity to or belief in Catholic teaching. God rejects such people. You can read more about that particular problem of the false theory of “baptism of desire” here: https://vaticancatholic.com/best-argument-baptism-desire/
The grace of Baptism, which completely regenerates the soul, is also called regeneration or being “born again”. The effect of this grace is the remission of every sin and all temporal punishment due to sin (de fide definita: see Florence and Trent below). Since the grace of Baptism not only remits all sin, but also all the temporal punishment due to sin, thus making the person a new creation (2 Cor. 5:17; Eph. 4:24), it’s certain that someone who would die immediately after receiving the grace of Baptism would go straight to Heaven. Someone dying in that state would not need to go to Purgatory or suffer any punishment for past sins. That was explicitly defined by the Councils of Florence and Trent.
Pope Eugene IV, The Council of Florence, “Exultate Deo,” Nov. 22, 1439: “Holy baptism, which is the gateway to the spiritual life… The effect of this sacrament is the remission of every fault, original and actual, and also of every punishment which is owed for the fault itself. Therefore to the baptized no satisfaction is to be enjoined for past sins; but dying, before they commit any fault, they immediately (statim) attain the kingdom of heaven and the vision of God.”
Latin -“… sanctum baptisma, quod vitae spiritualis ianua est… Huius sacramenti effectus est remissio omnis culpae originalis et actualis, omnis quoque poenae, quae pro ipsa culpa debetur. Propterea baptizatis nulla pro peccatis praeteritis iniungenda est satisfactio: sed morientes antequam culpam aliquam committant, statim ad regnum coelorum et Dei visionem perveniunt.”
Council of Trent, Sess. 5, Original Sin, # 5, ex cathedra: “If any one denies, that, by the grace of Our Lord Jesus Christ, which is conferred in baptism, the guilt of original sin is remitted; or even asserts that the whole of that which has the true and proper nature of sin is not taken away; but says that it is only erased, or not imputed; let him be anathema. FOR, IN THOSE WHO ARE BORN AGAIN, there is nothing that God hates; because, there is no condemnation to those who are truly buried together with Christ by baptism into death; who walk not according to the flesh, but, putting off the old man, and putting on the new who is created according to God, are made innocent, immaculate, pure, guiltless, and beloved of God, heirs indeed of God, but joint heirs with Christ; in such a manner that absolutely nothing may delay them from entry into heaven.”
Council of Trent, Sess. 6, Chap. 3: “But though He died for all, yet all do not receive the benefit of His death, but those only to whom the merit of His passion is communicated; because as truly as men would not be born unjust, if they were not born through propagation of the seed of Adam, since by that propagation they contract through him, when they are conceived, injustice as their own, SO UNLESS THEY WERE BORN AGAIN IN CHRIST THEY WOULD NEVER BE JUSTIFIED, since by that new birth through the merit of His passion the grace by which they become just is bestowed upon them.”
Notice, you must be born again to be saved, and that rebirth necessarily includes the removal of all temporal punishment due to sin. "Baptism of Desire" does not confer that grace. That's another proof that it's false.
For Those Who Are Sad Or Depressed
James 5:13- “Is any one of you sad? Let him pray.”

It’s interesting that outside of Gemelli Hospital in Rome, Italy, where Antipope Francis is currently located, there is a large statue of Antipope John Paul II where he is venerated by people.
That’s another example of the veneration of the image of the beast (the one who proclaimed that man is God in the Temple of God, was wounded, was the sixth king, had his image honored, etc.), as explained in our videos:
https://endtimes.video/apocalypse-now-in-the-vatican/
https://endtimes.video/temple-of-god-vatican-prophecy-antichrist/
Our recent short video on the declaration of Pope St. Zosimus, who authoritatively taught the universal Church that “absolutely no one” (nullus omnino) is forgiven without baptism, has been posted in article form. You can find it at this link:
No One Can Be Forgiven Without This – Catholic Teaching
This very important declaration of the Chair of St. Peter further powerfully confirms that we are correct on the absolute necessity of baptism, and that the position we defend is the teaching of the Church. It’s what’s taught in all definitive acts of the Magisterium.

Attempt To Obfuscate Salvation Truth
It frequently happens that heretics who deny the Church’s teaching on salvation attempt to obfuscate the issue by conflating the situation of a baptized person who is ignorant of a deeper dogma of the faith with non-Christians (i.e. pagans, Jews) who don’t believe in and/or haven’t heard about Jesus Christ. That’s a fallacious comparison because while it’s true that a baptized person who believes in the essential mysteries of the faith can be ignorant of a deeper dogma without being guilty on that point, people who have never been incorporated into Christ are under condemnation even if they’ve never heard of Him. They are condemned for original sin and/or their other sins (even if not for the specific sin of rejecting the Gospel.) This is the teaching of the Gospel, as St. Robert Bellarmine explains well. We covered this in this video/article: https://endtimes.video/acts-4-12-salvation-name-of-jesus/
In John 3:18, we read: “… whoever does not believe [in the Son] is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.”
The same truth is reaffirmed in John 3:36, concerning which St. Robert Bellarmine states:
St. Robert Bellarmine, De Amissione Gratiae et Statu Peccati, Book 6, Chap. 2: “He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not believe in the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him [John 3:36]… Correctly St. Augustine observed… that it was not said [in John 3:36]: ‘The wrath of God will come on them’, but ‘remains on them’, in order that we would understand faith in Christ to be necessary not only so that we would not fall into the wrath of God, but even that we might be freed from the wrath into which we have fallen through the disobedience of the first man. Concerning which it was stated by the Apostle to the Ephesians, chapter 2: For we were also by nature children of wrath…”
This is a very important point. Notice that it’s not as if someone must hear about Jesus and the Gospel and then reject Him to be condemned. Yes, that will condemn him, but people who don’t believe in Jesus, whether they’ve heard of Him or not, are already in a state of condemnation due to original sin – and, if they are above reason, their actual sins. That condemnation, which excludes them from Heaven, remains upon them unless it's removed through faith in Jesus Christ and incorporation into Him. There is no other way to be saved. This truth (which is essential to understand) is rejected not only by the Vatican II Sect but also by almost all so-called “traditionalist” priests in our day. They believe that souls can be saved in non-Christian religions, which is blatantly heretical.
They Prop Up Benedict XVI
Benedict XVI’s Revealing Heresy On The Sabbath
A huge portion of the "trad" community that weep bitterly over Francis prop up Bendict XVI as a hero. It's beyond ridiculous.
Catholic Scrolls
In the early Church it was common for people to be baptized with a threefold immersion. That is a valid and ancient way of baptizing, but it’s not required for validity. In fact, since heretics in certain places in the early Church misrepresented the meaning of the threefold immersion, Pope St. Gregory the Great recommended the following at his time:
St. Gregory the Great, Book 1, Letter 43: “But, inasmuch as up to this time it has been the custom of heretics to immerse infants in baptism thrice, I am of opinion that this ought not to be done among you...”
This is a quote from a 16th century Jesuit theologian in which he condemns any word or deed that simulates, signifies or professes a false faith or religion. His statement reflects the Church’s authoritative teaching on this matter. Many acts of the Vatican II antipopes, such as Antipope John Paul II kissing the Koran, etc. fall under this condemnation.
Gregory of Valencia, S.J., Commentariorum Theologicorum, Tome 3, 1595, p. 323: “… it is absolutely never licit to seriously simulate a false faith and religion by any word or deed, which either by law or custom has been specifically instituted to signify or profess the false faith and religion itself.”
It’s remarkable how many people (as a result of willful ignorance and bad will) remain blind to the apostasy of Antipope Benedict XVI. Benedict XVI’s statement below to Jews is a particularly revealing example of how he routinely taught destructive heresies and religious indifferentism.
Benedict XVI, Address during meeting in France with representatives of the Jewish Community, September 12, 2008: “Dear friends, it is with great pleasure that I meet with you this evening. Our meeting auspiciously coincides with the vigil of the weekly celebration of the Shabbat [the Sabbath], the day which from time immemorial has occupied a significant position in the religious and cultural life of the people of Israel. Every pious Jew sanctifies the Shabbat [the Sabbath] with the reading of the Scriptures and the reciting of the Psalms… Does not the Talmud Yoma (85b) say: the Sabbath is offered to you, but you are not offered to the Sabbath?... we share a relationship that should be strengthened and lived. And we know that these fraternal bonds constitute a continual invitation to know and to respect one another better. By her very nature the Catholic Church feels obliged to respect the Covenant made by the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Indeed, the Church herself is situated within the eternal Covenant of the Almighty, whose plans are immutable, and she respects the children of the Promise, the children of the Covenant, as her beloved brothers and sisters in the faith… I cannot neglect, on an occasion such as this, to recall the eminent role played by the Jews of France in the building up of the whole nation and of their prestigious contribution to her spiritual patrimony. They have given – and continue to give – great figures to the spheres of politics, culture and the arts. To each one of them I extend affectionate and respectful wishes and with fervor I invoke upon all of your families and upon all your communities a special Blessing of the Lord of time and history. Shabbat shalom!”
Focus in particular on this statement: “Every pious Jew sanctifies the Shabbat [the Sabbath] with the reading of the Scriptures and the reciting of the Psalms.” Benedict XVI teaches that those who observe the Jewish Sabbath “sanctify” it. Well, the Church dogmatically teaches the opposite. It teaches that after the coming of Christ and the replacement of the Old Covenant with the New Covenant, no one can observe the Jewish Sabbath (or other practices of the Jewish religion) without mortal sin and the loss of salvation. So, the Church specifically teaches that by observing the Jewish Sabbath they sin mortally and profane the day. Benedict XVI, however, teaches the opposite: that they sanctify it. He was a manifest heretic who denied Jesus Christ. In his speech, Benedict XVI also teaches that the Jews are still the People of the Covenant. That’s heresy, blasphemy, and another manifestation of his rejection of the necessity of Jesus Christ for salvation. He was a total apostate who taught religious indifferentism on a regular basis.
Pope Eugene IV, Council of Florence, Cantate Domino, 1441, ex cathedra: “The Holy Roman Church firmly believes, professes and teaches that the matter pertaining to the law of the Old Testament, of the Mosaic Law, which are divided into ceremonies, sacred rites, sacrifices, and sacraments, because they were established to signify something in the future, although they were suited to divine worship at that time, after our Lord’s coming had been signified by them, ceased, and the sacraments of the New Testament began; and that whoever, even after the passion, placed hope in these matters of the law and submitted himself to them as necessary for salvation, as if faith in Christ could not save without them, sinned mortally. Yet it does not deny that after the passion of Christ up to the promulgation of the Gospel they could have been observed, provided they were believed to be in no way necessary for salvation; but after the promulgation of the Gospel it asserts that they cannot be observed without the loss of eternal salvation. All, therefore, who after that time [the promulgation of the Gospel] observe circumcision and the Sabbath and the other requirements of the law, it declares alien to the Christian faith and not in the least fit to participate in eternal salvation, unless someday they recover from these errors.”
St. Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologiae, Pt. I-II, Q. 103, A. 4. “... the ceremonies of the Old Law foreshadowed Christ as having yet to be born and to suffer: whereas our sacraments signify Him as already born and having suffered. Consequently, just as it would be a mortal sin now for anyone, in making a profession of faith, to say that Christ is yet to be born, which the fathers of old said devoutly and truthfully; so too it would be a mortal sin now to observe those ceremonies which the fathers of old fulfilled with devotion and fidelity. Such is the teaching Augustine (Contra Faust. xix, 16)...”

St. Robert Bellarmine, On Purgatory, Book 2, Chap. 2: “Note that Luther cannot be called a Christian in any way based on the judgment of Augustine, but plainly a heathen, since he doubts concerning a matter about which Augustine says no Christian is able to doubt.”
During the prophet Elijah’s time (9th century BC), worship of the false god Baal became so widespread among the people that Elijah believed himself to be the only prophet who remained faithful.
1 Kings 18:21-22- “And Elijah came near to all the people and said, ‘How long will you go halting between the two sides? If the Lord is God, follow him; but if Baal, then follow him.’ And the people did not answer him a word. Then Elijah said to the people, ‘I, even I only, am left a prophet of the Lord, but Baal’s prophets are 450 men.’”
St. Ephrem, Commentary On Tatian’s Diatessaron, Part 7, #13: “When Elijah said, I alone am left as a prophet unto the Lord [1 Kings 18:22], he was not calumniating the just, because they were no [longer] to be found, but rather he was denouncing sinners because they had done away with the just.”
God granted Elijah a miracle on Mt. Carmel during a contest between himself and the false prophets of Baal, after which the false prophets of Baal were killed. During the contest Elijah had also mocked the false prophets of Baal and their false god.
1 Kings 18:27-29- “And at noon Elijah mocked them, saying, ‘Cry aloud, for he is a god. Either he is musing, or he is relieving himself, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he is asleep and must be awakened.’ And they cried aloud and cut themselves after their custom with swords and lances, until the blood gushed out upon them. And as midday passed, they raved on until the time of the offering of the oblation, but there was no voice. No one answered; no one paid attention [to their false prayers].”
The false prophets of Baal were not heard. But God heard the prayer of Elijah.
1 Kings 18:36-40- “And at the time of the offering of the oblation, Elijah the prophet came near and said, ‘O Lord, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, let it be known this day that you are God in Israel, and that I am your servant, and that I have done all these things at your word. Answer me, O Lord, answer me, that this people may know that you, O Lord, are God, and that you have turned their hearts back.’ Then the fire of the Lord fell and consumed the burnt offering and the wood and the stones and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench. And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces and said, ‘The Lord, he is God; the Lord, he is God.’ And Elijah said to them, ‘Seize the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape.’”
God was profoundly merciful to grant a miracle to the people even after they had apostatized from Him. Despite his victory over the false prophets of Baal, Elijah remained discouraged about the bad will of the people.
1 Kings 19:4-10- “But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness and came and sat down under a broom tree. And he asked that he might die, saying, ‘It is enough; now, O Lord, take away my life, for I am no better than my fathers.’ And he lay down and slept under a broom tree. And behold, an angel touched him and said to him, ‘Arise and eat.’… [Elijah said:] For the people of Israel have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword, and I, even I only, am left, and they seek my life, to take it away.”
But God reassured him that a remnant of 7000 remained faithful. St. Paul mentions this in Romans 11:4.
1 Kings 19:18- “Yet I will leave seven thousand in Israel, all the knees that have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth that has not kissed him.”
Romans 11:4-5- “But what is God’s reply to him? ‘I have kept for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.’ So too at the present time there is a remnant, chosen by grace.”
Theological Side Of The Filioque
A Big Problem For "Orthodoxy": St. Gregory Of Nyssa & The Filioque
That’s so interesting. I didn't know that orthodox were so passionate about the theological side of filioque. I thought they were more vocal about the aspect of papal authority…
Vitor
They actually condemn the Filioque as a heresy, even though Eastern and Western fathers taught it: 1848 Encyclical Of "The Patriarchs" Exposes Contradiction In "Orthodoxy". Their positions are false.

Certain Protestants who believe in “once justified always justified” quote Hebrews 3:6 and Hebrews 3:14. They believe those verses teach that everyone who is a member of Christ’s Church will necessarily hold firm (or persevere) to the end; and therefore that every true member of the Church (i.e. every true believer) will be saved.
Hebrews 3:5-6- “… Christ is faithful over God’s house as a son. And we are his house, if indeed we hold fast our confidence and our boasting in our hope.”
Hebrews 3:14- “For we have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end.”
Their error is connected to a failure to understand the context, which concerns a “heavenly calling” (Hebrews 3:1) and entrance into Christ’s eternal rest (i.e. Heaven). The context is not about simple membership in the Church on Earth. This is made clear in the same chapter and at the beginning of chapter 4, which draws an analogy between those who could not enter His rest in the Old Testament (i.e. the Promised Land) and those who will not enter the eternal rest of Christ.
Hebrews 3:17-19- “And with whom was he provoked for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? And to whom did he swear that they would not enter his rest, but to those who were disobedient? So we see that they were unable to enter because of unbelief.”
Hebrews 4:1- “Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us fear lest any of you should seem to have failed to reach it.”
Yes, one must hold firm to the end to enter His eternal rest. That doesn’t mean that everyone who is a member of the Church on Earth will hold firm to the end. Indeed, Hebrews 3:12 teaches that some believers can fall away from the living God.
Hebrews 3:12- “Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God.”
Hebrews 3:18 and Hebrews 4:6 also teach that some people don’t enter His rest because of disobedience, which contradicts the heresy of “faith alone.”
Hebrews 4:6- “Since therefore it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly received the good news failed to enter because of disobedience…”
Hebrews 4:11 also says that we must strive to enter that rest, and not fall short because of disobedience. This clearly refers to entering Heaven, not to entering the Church per se.
Hebrews 4:11- “Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by the same sort of disobedience.”
Hebrews 5:9 also teaches that obedience is necessary for salvation.
Hebrews 5:9- “And being made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him.”
Further, in well-known passages, Hebrews 6 and Hebrews 10 directly contradict the Protestant heresy of “once justified, always justified”. Hebrews 6 teaches that those who have been enlightened (a clear reference to justification in baptism), etc. can fall away.
Hebrews 6:4-6- “For it is impossible, in the case of those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and have shared in the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come, and then have fallen away, to restore them again to repentance, since they are crucifying once again the Son of God to their own harm and holding him up to contempt.”
Hebrews 10 teaches that people who have been sanctified can fall away.
Hebrews 10:26-29- “For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries. Anyone who has set aside the law of Moses dies without mercy on the evidence of two or three witnesses. How much worse punishment, do you think, will be deserved by the one who has spurned the Son of God, and has profaned the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has outraged the Spirit of grace?”
As these points prove, the false Protestant doctrine of salvation is contradicted throughout the Book of Hebrews.
[A COMMENT] … Dignitatis Humanae defines religious freedom as an individual’s right to hold their own religious views and their right to not be coerced into adhering to a religious view. It doesn’t affirm that all religions have the right to public worship…
C E
What you have stated is flat out false. Vatican II explicitly teaches that religious liberty should be a civil right, the very position condemned by Pius IX.
Vatican II, Dignitatis Humanae #2: "This right of the human person to religious freedom is to be recognized in the constitutional law whereby society is governed and thus it is to become a civil right."
Pius IX condemned the following in Quanta Cura, Dec. 8, 1864: “From which totally false idea of social government they do not fear to foster that erroneous opinion, most fatal in its effects on the Catholic Church and the salvation of souls, called by Our predecessor, Gregory XVI, an insanity, NAMELY, THAT ‘LIBERTY OF CONSCIENCE AND WORSHIP IS EACH MAN’S PERSONAL RIGHT, WHICH OUGHT TO BE LEGALLY PROCLAIMED AND ASSERTED IN EVERY RIGHTLY CONSTITUTED SOCIETY.”
That by itself proves that Vatican II is heretical. Indeed, the Catholic constitutions of Colombia and Spain were changed after Vatican II and as a consequence of Dignitatis Humanae. Stop resisting the truth, and come out of the non-Catholic Vatican II Sect.
[HIS RESPONSE] … Bl. Pius IX, in Quanta Cura, defines religious freedom as a right (quoting from Gregory XVI) by which somebody is entitled to publicly manifest and declare their erroneous religious views. Dignitatis Humanae defines religious freedom as an individuals right to not be compelled to act contrary to their beliefs (within due reason, meaning they can’t manifest public immorality). Vatican II is working off a different definition of religious freedom in respect to what Gregory XVI and Bl. Pius IX condemned…
Our previous reply refuted what you wrote. However, your response is, one must say, absurd and it exposes your dishonesty. You claim that Vatican II’s endorsement of a civil right to religious liberty doesn’t include any right to public worship! That’s utter nonsense, of course. In direct contradiction of your false statement, Vatican II explicitly teaches that the civil right to religious liberty includes the right to “honor the supreme Being in public worship”.
Dignitatis Humanae #4: “Provided the just demands of public order are observed, religious communities rightfully claim freedom in order that they may govern themselves according to their own norms, honor the Supreme Being in public worship, assist their members in the practice of the religious life, strengthen them by instruction, and promote institutions in which they may join together for the purpose of ordering their own lives in accordance with their religious principles.”
That directly refutes your false claim. Other passages in Dignitatis Humanae teach the same thing. Vatican II’s teaching that religious communities are to be guaranteed a civil right to worship in public was explicitly condemned by the Church. The fact that a change in teaching was made is precisely why the constitutions of Colombia and Spain were changed after Vatican II to allow public worship for non-Catholic sects – a fact that demolishes your lie. We will not necessarily continue to refute your errors, since what has been written suffices and you are sadly obstinate and dishonest.
In 1848 the “patriarchs” of Eastern “Orthodoxy” issued an official response to a document of Pope Pius IX. It's called the Encyclical of the Eastern Patriarchs (1848). Many Eastern “Orthodox” consider this document to represent official “Orthodox” teaching. In the encyclical the patriarchs condemned the Papacy and the Filioque as heretical. They also explicitly rejected all communion with Catholics.
1848 Encyclical of the Eastern “Orthodox” Patriarchs, Reply to Pope Pius IX, #5: “Wherefore the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church, following in the steps of the holy Fathers, both Eastern and Western, proclaimed of old to our progenitors and again teaches today synodically, that the said novel doctrine of the Holy Ghost proceeding from the Father and the Son is essentially heresy, and its maintainers, whoever they be, are heretics, according to the sentence of Pope St. Damasus, and that the congregations of such are also heretical, and that all spiritual communion in worship of the orthodox sons of the Catholic Church with such is unlawful.”
1848 Encyclical of the Eastern “Orthodox” Patriarchs, Reply to Pope Pius IX, #7: “From that time [the seventh century] there has been no spiritual communion between us and them; for they have with their own hands dug deep the chasm between themselves and Orthodoxy.”
1848 Encyclical of the Eastern “Orthodox” Patriarchs, Reply to Pope Pius IX, #9: “Usurping as his own possession the Catholic Church of Christ, by occupancy, as he [Pius IX] boasts, of the Episcopal Throne of St. Peter, he desires to deceive the more simple into apostasy from Orthodoxy…”
It’s noteworthy that this ridiculous document claims to be following in the footsteps of the Eastern and Western fathers in rejecting the Filioque. That's preposterous, of course, because many Latin fathers explicitly taught the Filioque. Greek fathers did as well, as our material proves. Their “encyclical” contains an array of other errors, false arguments, and misrepresentations of the teaching of the ancient Church.
The encyclical also condemns Catholics as heretics, and rejects all communion with them. Yet, the modern-day Eastern “Orthodox” engage in false ecumenism with the Vatican II Sect and other non-Catholic sects. They profess communion with each other, sometimes sign joint declarations of faith, etc. That’s just another example of the inconsistency of Eastern “Orthodoxy”.
Pope Pius IX (left). Vatican II Sect Antipopes in joint “prayers” with Eastern “Orthodox” leaders (right).
Their document also claims that the Great Apostasy of the nations predicted by St. Paul already occurred, and that it was an apostasy from “Orthodoxy”.
1848 Encyclical of the Eastern “Orthodox” Patriarchs, Reply to Pope Pius IX, #21: “All Christian nations whatsoever that are today seen calling upon the Name of Christ (not excepting either the West generally, or Rome herself, as we prove by the catalogue of her earliest Popes), were taught the true faith in Christ by our holy predecessors and fathers; and yet afterwards deceitful men, many of whom were shepherds, and chief shepherds too, of those nations, by wretched sophistries and heretical opinions dared to defile, alas! the orthodoxy of those nations, as veracious history informs us, and as St. Paul predicted.”
