Question
Did Bro. Michael Dimond convert from atheism?
No. Bro. Michael Dimond converted to Catholicism at age 15, but he was never an atheist.
This is an interesting quote from Dutch Catholic theologian Fr. Willem Hessels van Est (also called Estius). We cited him in our recent video: Saints & Theologians On The End Times – Shedding Light On The Current Catholic Crisis. Here’s what he said about the meaning of St. Peter’s reference to “Babylon” in 1 Peter 5:13 and what “Babylon” refers to in the Apocalypse.
Fr. Willem Hessels van Est (1542-1613), In Omnes Canonicas Apostolorum Epistolas, Vol. 3 (On 1 Peter 5:13), 1858, p. 581: “It is asked which Babylon he refers to here [in 1 Peter 5:13]. Certainly the ancients – as Papius, Bishop of Hierapolis, and from him Eusebius (Book 2, Ecclesiastical History, Chap. 15), Jerome on Mark and in Epistle 17, likewise Bede and Oecumenicus in their commentaries, and finally all the more recent orthodox commentators – interpret Babylon as Rome. By that name even in Apocalypse Chapters 17 and 18 Rome has been signified, especially on account of the confusion of idolatry which then was thriving in it… Nevertheless, afterward by apostolic preaching and establishment it finally was accomplished that it was converted from Babylon into a holy Jerusalem and a new Zion… It follows from this commentary that Peter was present and sat in Rome, which is impudently denied by certain sectarians... they deny that Peter was in Rome, which all of antiquity testifies to...”
These videos cover more about “Babylon” and the current state of Rome.

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

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.”
Tristatur aliquis vestrum? oret.
We are close to finishing a very important video, God willing. Some other videos are also close to completion, but will not be uploaded until after the aforementioned video is published. We hope that it will be done soon.
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:

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.
EU/Germany’s Crackdown On Truth
Question: "Is posting an insult a crime?" German prosecutors answer: "Yes" - video
Telling the truth is forbidden! Hurting one’s feelings is now a crime! One could get a prison sentence for just asking a sincere and relevant question? This is absolutely ridiculous!...

It's amazing how much evil and heresy (such as this) simply gets accepted or ignored by faithless followers of the Vatican II Sect.

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)...”
