Novus Ordo Supporter Demolished On Loss Of Office & Heresy
Dear Brothers, this is another excellent article. I agree with you. I tossed my free book in the garbage.
God bless you.
Barbara
I live in Oklahoma and stumbled across your website and watched a couple of your videos. I am very interested in what I have seen thus far. I grew up in a non-denomination church and I know very little about Catholicism. For the past 10 years I have felt quite lost, however I have a very strong desire to find the truth. Do you have a guide to Catholicism for those who know little about it?
ps. Could you pray that I find the truth?
Thanks
Thank you for the contact. Yes, we will pray that you come to see the truth of the Catholic Faith, and the necessity to embrace it. Attached is a basic Catechism for you. I would also recommend that you begin praying the Rosary every day. We would be happy to send you one if you would like, as well as a How to Pray the Rosary sheet. We also have a special DVD package which includes more than 8 different programs for only a few dollars. [Update: New Special Package Here] It's critical for you to embrace the Catholic Faith, since it is the one true Church outside of which there is no salvation. If you have any more questions, please let us know.
As many of you know, the phenomenon of “speaking in tongues” is prevalent in the Charismatic Movement. We’ve tried to inform those involved that the Charismatic Movement is not of God. This is proven most easily by the Charismatic Movement’s promotion and acceptance of ecumenical and heretical teachings. The extraordinary phenomena that often occur at these meetings – which sometimes include barking like dogs, rolling around on the floor in hysteria, making sounds like pigs, etc. – are not the gifts of the Holy Ghost. However, some refuse to believe that the devil could actually be behind the extraordinary occurrences of “speaking in tongues” that they see at these charismatic meetings. They should know that the early Church heretic Montanus also spoke in tongues.
“Montanism was a growing problem… This man, Montanus, began to prophesy and to ‘speak in tongues.’ He was soon followed by two women, Priscilla and Maximilla, who left their husbands to devote themselves to his mission… Montanist preachers called upon their hearers to renounce marriage, to give up their worldly goods to their spiritual leaders… to seek martyrdom wherever possible, and to repudiate all civil obligations. Though rejected by almost all the bishops, the Montanist call struck responsive chords all over Asia Minor; the whole church of Thyatira, for example, went over to them – Thyatira’s church which the Apostle John had warned, in his letter to the seven churches of Asia in the Book of the Apocalypse, to beware of a prophetess whose teaching led to immorality.” (Warren H. Carroll, The Founding of Christendom, Vol. 1, p. 464.)
This shows us again that speaking in tongues or what appears to be “speaking in tongues” can be from demonic sources; in the case of the heretical Charismatic Movement today, it is definitely from demonic sources.
A traditional bishop Oravec have sent me following article to convince me of rightness of doctrine of "baptism" of desire.
It is his condition, that I must accept this teaching in order to be allowed to receive Sacraments from him. And I urgently need some catholic bishop or priest, who don't recognize as valid novus ordo priesthood and "church", because my wife will go to novus ordo "mass" with my childern, if she has no other possibility. Should I inhibit her from bringing my childern to novus ordo "mass"??? Is following explanation right? Could I accept this exception of "baptism" of desire??? Why God could not save someone, who has catholic faith and desire for baptism, but died before he could receive this water baptism??? As st. Thomas Aquinas alone confirmed, that God could do this (save soul without water baptism), because His Power is not fixed only to the sacraments???Josef
One of us conversed with Bishop Oravec in the past, and the issue of salvation was specifically discussed. He believes that souls can be saved in other religions. That is a fact. He is not a Catholic, but a complete heretic. He couldn’t see how the damnation of all non-Catholics was compatible with the mercy of God. He is a false shepherd who has no Faith; and since he is an imposing heretic who is binding his false teaching on you, you should absolutely not receive the sacraments from him at all. (more…)
Brothers: Where may I find the text used by JP II ( using apparently infallible language ) at the 'canonization' of Escriva? It seems someone read it to me shortly after the act and it used traditional language but I cannot remember the source where the complete text may be found.
Thankyou, Mike
Here it is:
Antipope John Paul II, Oct. 6, 2002, “Canonizing” Josemaria Escriva: “In honor of the Blessed Trinity, for the exaltation of the Catholic Faith and the growth of Christian life, with the authority of Our Lord Jesus Christ, of the Blessed Apostles Peter and Paul, and Our Own, after lengthy reflection, having assiduously invoked God’s assistance and taken into account the opinion of many brothers of ours in the episcopate, we declare and define Blessed Josemaria Escriva to be a Saint, and we enroll him in the Catalogue of the Saints, and we establish that in the whole Church he should be devoutly honored among the Saints. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.”
I had a few questions....I re-read in the book "Absolutely No Salvation outside the Catholic Church" the pages prior to until after Fr. Feeney. Please don't take this as judging Fr. Feeney at all...but I was curious....do you know why he just didn't go to Rome, even though of course under canon law he didn't have to. He didn't have anything to fear because he was completely protected by the dogma's set down by the Church. So I was curious why he didn't just go. I ask this question with complete respect.
Also, if there were heretical things written with a valid bishops imprimatur, how do you know what books are good and which are bad? Only prior to 1876? Did Pope St. Pius X not know that heretical things were being printed during his time? I am sure he couldn't have possibly seen every book that was written at the time. Did I just answer my own question?
I read all of this about 6 months ago, but for some reason this time I actually understood what I was reading.
I know you are extremely busy with your important work. So you do not have to respond to such questions if you do not have the time!
May God Reward you for your work!
God Bless you!
Teri Thurman
I believe he didn’t go because when the authorities in Rome handling the matter refused to give him the reason for the summons, as required by canon law, they demonstrated that they weren’t trustworthy and operating in good faith. And the reason that the authorities in Rome handling the case didn’t give him a reason is because they were too embarrassed to say: you are being summoned to Rome because you are preaching Outside the Church There is No Salvation and that only baptized Catholics can be saved! (more…)
Brothers,
I just wanted to say that I believe your article "The Joint Declaration of Schism by Catholic Family News and The Remnant on the SSPX– and its major blasphemy against the Catholic Church" is one of the best revealing articles of the war that is happening against the True Catholic Church in our times.
And once again, I believe you shown more and more support for sedevacantism given by its opponents': CFN and the Remnant. It's beginning to seem that the more these editors write, the further they seem to evidently support that sedevacantism is not 'just an argument', but the only
plausible explanation for the current state of the Catholic Church.
God bless you and keep you! May Our Lady and St. Francis De Sales help your writings to enlighten the Faithful in all this confusion.
- Michael O.
Thank you. The schismatic position of these false traditionalists has gotten so bad that it’s beyond absurd at this point. Simply put, men who would actually write an article which describes their “Pope’s” plan to “canonize” John Paul II as “the revolution is preparing to canonize its own” simply do not believe in the Catholic Church - period. They have equated the authoritative and solemn “canonizations” by their “Pope” and what they deem to be the Catholic Church with the work of the revolution. On a similar note, just recently Bishop Williamson said again that the Vatican doesn’t have the same religion as he does. So, he rejects sedevacantism because he insists on professing communion with members of a different religion.

Did you know that the Aztec culture in Mexico in the 15th and 16th centuries, which the Catholic conquistadors physically overthrew – and which the appearance of Our Lady of Guadalupe spiritually crushed – was arguably the wickedest culture in human history?
Dear Brother Dimond,
My nephew is planning to get married this September. Despite all my effort to convince him otherwise, he is planning to get married in the Novus-Ordo church. I tried to convince him that it is not the true Roman Catholic religion, but a counterfeit church. I showed him and my brother how sacriligious the Novus-Ordo is, but to no avail. My question is this: Am I allowed to attend the service, but not to participate; or am I not allowed to attend it at all? Also, what about the reception and dinner afterwards? Please respond as soon as you can. You have been a tremendous help to me and others who desire the true Catholic faith. Thank you and God bless You!
Wayne C. Lang
Thanks for your question. We did address this question in more detail in Question 62 of the Questions and Answers section, so we refer the readers there. The short answer to your question is absolutely not. A Catholic cannot attend the wedding or the wedding reception of a heretic. The reason is that to attend such a wedding service or the reception is to honor and celebrate the marriage of a heretic. It is to honor and celebrate a person or people getting married in the state of mortal sin, and in a fashion which displeases God and places them on the road to hell. This issue involves the divine law: (more…)
Since I have been a traditionalist (1978), I have always been under the assumption, that the rules of the lentin fast and abstinence should be followed according to the last revisions of Pope Pius XII, i.e. 1953 or 1957 and definetely NOT any new rules adhering to the changes of Vatican Council II. I attend Mass at a SSPX on Long Island and the bulletin on Ash Wednesday stated the following:
“All catholics ages 14 and up are obliged to abstain from meat this Ash Wednesday. And all catholics between ages of 18 and 59 are obliged to fast this Ash Wednesday. New Code Canons 1251 & 1252. All Catholics are encouraged, though no longer under pain of Mortal Sin, to keep the fast throughout the remainder of lent excepting Sundays. The fast of Lent is no longer obligatory under pain of Sin except Ash Wednesday and Good Friday which still oblige under pain of mortal sin.
The obligation to abstain from meat on all Fridays of the year still obliges under pain of venial sin.”
What does the reference to “new Code Canons….” Mean? - the Newchurch (since Vatican II) canons or the Old Church canons? It sounds to me as though the SSPX has one foot in the Novus Ordo church and the other in Tradition. What do I tell my children and grandchildren – who look to me for guidance in such matters??
Hoping to hear from you shortly and God Bless.
Joan Malone
The canons to which you referred are from the new code. The SSPX adheres to the new fasting rules promulgated by Antipope John Paul II in the new code of canon law (1983). Thus, they hold that one is not bound to fast except on Good Friday and Ash Wednesday. This is simply a by-product of their false position. Many traditionalists don’t know that every day in Lent (except for Sundays) is an obligatory day of fast because they’ve been instructed by non-sedevacantist, independent “traditionalist” priests (such as the priests of the SSPX, etc.) who accept the new disciplinary laws of the Vatican II sect.
As many of you know, the preposterous and monstrous “theory” of Evolution is taught as fact in all public schools. This one picture of metamorphosis (with its accompanying explanation) alone refutes the folly of Evolution; it is truly a picture worth a million textbooks. Scroll down to the bottom of the link to find the picture and the accompanying explanation:
If I'm not mistaken the only days of absolute fast during Lent are Ash Wednesday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday, and the Ember Days. The other days are not obligatory, correct?
No, every day in Lent (except for Sundays) is a fast day. See the Calendar on our mainpage for more details.
Unlike most liquids, water freezes from the top down. If it did not act in this unusual way, all life on earth would eventually die:
“Streams, rivers, lakes, and oceans freeze from the top down, because water reaches its maximum density at 39°F—seven degrees above its normal freezing point. As cold air further lowers the water’s temperature, water defies the behavior of most liquids and expands. This less dense water “floats” on top of the denser water. Eventually, it freezes into ice, which is even less dense.
“We are fortunate that water behaves in this unusual way. If water continued to contract as it became colder and froze, as most substances do, ice would sink. Bodies of water would freeze from the bottom up. Surface water would quickly freeze, then sink. During the summer, the overlying liquid water would insulate the ice and delay its melting. Each winter more ice would collect at the bottom. This would first occur at polar latitudes, but over the years would spread toward the equator as surface ice reflected more of the Sun’s rays back into space, cooling the earth. Sea life would eventually cease. Evaporation and rain would diminish, turning the land into a cold, lifeless desert.” (Walt Brown, Ph.D., In the Beginning – Compelling evidence for Creation and the Flood, p. 186, note 124.)
Hello Brother Dimond,
I would like to know what you have to say about all the anti-sedevacantists who use the argument that there cannot be a Church without a visible head (the Pope).
Al
Quite simply, the Church has been without a visible head hundreds of times. The Church is without a visible head every time the Pope dies. This situation has lasted for years. By the way, here is an interesting quote from the Lay Investiture crisis (1075-1122). During this crisis, the evil King of Germany, Henry IV, instituted an Antipope (who was supported by many German Bishops). Henry also appointed his own Bishops who were also subject to the Antipope. The result was two Bishops in most dioceses and massive confusion.
The Catholic Encyclopedia, Vol. 8, 1910, “Investitures,” p. 86: “There was now much confusion on all sides…. Many dioceses had two occupants. Both parties called their rivals perjurers and traitors…”The point is that, while we are dealing with an unprecedented apostasy, the Church has seen confusing times before, including those in which the true hierarchy was not easily ascertainable.
Bro. Peter Dimond:
I have read with interest your article, "The Whole Truth about the Consecration and Conversion of Russia and the Impostor Sr. Lucy". I don't remember the article pointing this out (though, admittedly, I might have missed it), but the horrendous Stalin died on March 5, 1953--a mere 9 months after Pope Pius XII's consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart.
Though Khrushchev was an evil man, he was a considerable improvement over Stalin. Therefore, one could posit that the consecration made by Pius XII began to bear fruit in less than a year.
Sincerely,
Geof
Yes, thank you, it was pointed out near the end of the fall of the satellites section: The Whole Truth about the Consecration and Conversion of Russia and the impostor Sr. Lucy (more…)
1) Since reading your recent article on the conversion of Russia, I have decided to sever all relationships with the Fatima Crusaders. I have,for several years been purchasing Brown Scapulars at a very reasonable price from them and giving them to family and friends as well as wearing one myself. Do you know of any place where I can get Brown Scapulars at a reasonable cost ( about a dollar piece) ? I'd like to thank you for the clarification on Sr. Lucy. I have always felt disturbed about her attending the new mass. It didn't make sense to me that a person who had seen the Blessed Mother could attend this abomination. Even religious obedience did not seem to justify participation in a pagan ceremony. As for Fr. Gruner I have suspected him of insincerity for some time. His tirades against the Vatican and belief in John Paul II as either a dupe or powerless didn't ring true. I am still looking for a true Catholic priest. Although I attend the St Pius X Latin mass in Ridgefield Conn., not contributing and not going to confession leaves me out in the cold when I most want to be a part of the real Catholic Church. Thank you again for all your good work in bringing out the truth.
2) Dear Brother
This latest article is really just too much! Our Lady promised what she promised with the consecration of Russia-
To try and say it was something else-that the word conversion was not CONVERSION but just that they would end up being "nice guys" that wouldn't hurt or persecute anyone anymore is ridiculous Our Lady has worked and can work greater miracles than this! This was to be a sign for a greater worldwide conversion .....When Our Lady is pleased with the correct formula of consecration--even if it is with only 1 faithful bishop=- the world will know it These arguments are a waste of time and energy. I was not going to waste my time in writing but this attack on the words of Our Lady of Fatima has really gone too very far… Our Lady talks very literally for her poor ignorant children on the earth-she realizes that we need to be talked to in a simple and direct way. She would not mislead us and give us false hope in a conversion that could not be seen-- a conversion of peace- HA- really and yet there has been no peace with Russia. You have some good information about Sr Lucia but all ends up being called into question with this disappointing explanation of "conversion of Russia" Well you can believe what you wish but I truly think you are only shooting yourself in the foot…. Your article gives way to despair
In Jesus and Mary
Kathy Heckenkamp
No, the only thing that is ridiculous is your blindness. It’s quite obvious – obvious, that is, to those who will take off the blinders and sincerely look at the facts – that Our Lady was not speaking of a religious conversion. That is why Sr. Lucy said that the consecration of Russia means that: “The good Lord promises to end the persecution in Russia…”!!! (WTAF Vol. 2, p. 465) That is why Sr. Lucy said that the consecration of Russia will result in an “abbreviation of the tribulation,” not a conversion of the nation to the Catholic Faith.
Our Lord to Sr. Lucy, Oct. 22, 1940: “I will punish the nations for their crimes by means of war, famine and persecution of My Church and this will weigh especially upon My Vicar on earth. His Holiness will obtain an abbreviation of these days of tribulation if he takes heed of My wishes by promulgating the Act of Consecration of the whole world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, with a special mention of Russia.” (The Whole Truth About Fatima – abbreviated: WTAF, Vol. 2, p. 732)What part of this don’t you understand? (more…)
Dear Brothers Michael and Peter,
I recently read a letter written by the late Bishop Moises Carmona-Rivera (who was consecrated by Bishop Thuc in 1981). This letter is a defense of his episcopal consecration and leaves many questions open about his validity. In the letter, he states, "....some said, without any foundation, that our consecrations were invalid because we were consecrated in the new rite..." After this very ambiguous statement, he does not go on to say that he and Zamora were, in fact, consecrated in the old rite. What does this mean? Does this mean that he was consecrated in the new rite and he feels that it is valid, meaning that those of us who hold it to be invalid are judging so with "no foundation"? Or, does he mean that these accusations were made with no foundation because, in fact, they were consecrated in the old rite?
I am sorry for the tone of this question, but this is a major dilemma for my family. If there is question about the validity of Carmona-Rivera due to the rite used in the ceremony, then my family is without a valid Mass anywhere nearby.
I would like to thank you for your help with this, as I know that you are very thorough with your research and will only report facts. I am not interested in getting someone's "opinion" when the souls of my family and myself are at stake. God bless you!
In JMJ,
Joseph Blagg
No, in context Carmona is simply saying that some people, without any foundation at all, have claimed that he was consecrated in the new rite. He goes on to say that others, more seriously, have claimed other things. The implication is that any claim that he was ordained in the new rite is almost a joke. Carmona was validly consecrated in the traditional rite. Thus, the priest ordained through his line would be valid. But we cannot vouch for such a priest’s doctrinal views, and there is a very strong chance that the priest denies the dogma Outside the Church There is No Salvation or supports NFP or something else. Thus, you almost certainly couldn’t support him financially, though perhaps you could receive the sacraments from him if he is not notorious or imposing about his false views. Also, we’ve been informed that certain CMRI priests have communicated to people that they don’t want those who don’t accept baptism of desire at their chapels. Since those CMRI priests are imposing their false views, one should not receive the sacraments from them at all. We don’t know if this is a universal development with CMRI priests, so one should check with the CMRI priest in their area about this. (They don’t want people who believe in that “awful” teaching that all must be baptized to be saved, as Our Lord said, but they have no problem with the idea that Jews who reject Christ can be saved. What abominable heretics.)
I have been reading extensively on the Chaos of the Church. I have been reading every anti-Sede article I have come accross from the Fatima Crusader, CFN, Mr. Sungenis, etc. I have not seen a good argument. Then I read your responses and you BLOW THEM AWAY!!! I guess the truth does that to the untruth…
-Jaime Soria
Dear Brothers Dimond,
I am sending to you an e-mail for the first time and I am happy to send it to you,in order to express my heartfelt thank to you for revealing the Truth of Holy Catholic Faith to ignorant people like me.
I am a Unversity student from UK who began to concentarate serously on Catholic Faith very recently. Although born as a Catholic I did not practise it whole heartedly since I was 10,only practised it outwardly to appease my parents.I was an ardent supporter of Marxism and then I was intriguied by Liberalism.Believe me I am telling you the truth I was the greatest "fan" you could have ever found for JP II.I was quite able to get along with his liberalistic and marxist convictions and I was used to by heart the homilies and speeches which he made. In our home there is still a framed photograph of JP II which hangs in our living room.I had his photograph in my study room at University Hall until YESTERDAY.
But when I went through your materials regarding Vatican II sect and its antipopes I could not deny those strong arguments and I completely in agreement with the sedevacantist position which deny the autority of Vatican II and its antipopes.You can imagine how hard was it for me to reject JP II who is an ardent pupil and defender of him and finally I did it.I REMOVED his potrait from my room.I know for sure that my parents still have him in the living room and I will reveal them the whole truth when I return home.
Dear Brothers I have basically two questions.I sincerely believe that you will send me your clarification at your earliest convinience.
1)As you sited in your article regarding Bishop Williamson,you quoted St.Alphonus Ligouri in which he(St.Alphonus) says that all canonizations made by pope are infallible and he is guided and helped in a special way by the Holy Ghost in the process of canonization.I accept it whole heartedly.But something coming from the "Traditionalist camp" disturbs me.They questions the canonization of St. Therese,the little flower o Jesus.They say that she explicitly believed that ALL can be saved without coming to Catholic Faith.That disturbs me very much.Please clarify me.
2)I was born in 1982 and you know that I must have been baptised by a novus ordo preist who are in complete union with Vatican II doctrine.So I am wondering whether my baptism is valid, this is a question which torments me night and day.Please clarify me.
I am looking forward a quick reply from me.Clarfy me !!!!!!!
I need your help.
Yours in Christ,
Milan.
Milan, that’s great to hear. Concerning your questions: 1) We have never seen any quotes from St. Therese stating that all men are saved, which is a horrible heresy. 2) The Church teaches that even heretics can validly baptize. So, even a Novus Ordo priest can validly baptize if he adheres to proper matter and form. If you have some reasonable doubt about your baptism, however, you could get a friend to perform a conditional baptism. The conditional form of baptism is given on our website.
In this section of our website, from time to time we will be posting quotes or comments on topics that we feel our readers may find interesting or beneficial. We particularly like the topic of Creationism, so here is an interesting quote about how Altruism destroys evolution:
“11. Altruism- Many animals, including humans, will endanger or even sacrifice their lives to save another – sometimes the life of another species. Natural selection, which evolutionists say explains all individual characteristics, should rapidly eliminate altruistic ‘individuals.’ How could risky behavior that benefits only another ever be inherited, because its possession tends to prevent the altruistic ‘individual’ from passing on its genes for altruism? If evolution were correct, selfish behavior should have completely eliminated unselfish behavior. Furthermore, cheating and aggressiveness should have ‘weeded out’ cooperation. Altruism contradicts evolution.” (Walt Brown, Ph.D., In the Beginning – Compelling Evidence for Creation and the Flood, p. 7.)
Dear Brothers Dimond,
I must say that was a breathtaking article. I will have to read it again there is so much to absorb. To think people living in this country knew little or next to nothing about what was going on under Stalin and Lenin. Reading history sources like Barnes Review, I have learned a great deal about those times and places, but I did not piece it together the way you have. It makes some of the things I read stand out in my mind and appear in a very different light. I wish now I had not given away those magazines, and could go back and reread some of the things I want to remember.
That there was an imposter Sister Lucy was not hard to imagine with all the contradicting stories, (and I did imagine it for some time) but the way you put it all together it would be almost impossible not to see the idea of imposter as anything but a rational and logical means to their end.

Dear Brothers Dimond,
Wow! What a bombshell! Just finished reading your explosive new article concerning Fatima and the consecration of Russia, and I must say it leaves one a bit breathless. It really seems to be the missing piece in the puzzle. I am a genuine Roman Catholic, sedevacantist, etc. and of course, knew something was amiss concerning this whole subject. Your thorough "sleuthing" seems to have solved the quandary. I, too, am planning to reread -- there is so just so much to digest. Once again, I thank you with all my heart for your fabulous and incomparably important work. God bless you!
Sincerely in Christ,
Margaret Moore

[Subject: Great article on the Fatima consecration]
Brothers,
I finished the article on the Fatima consecration. I made a copy for Father [x] and another copy for people to read after mass.
The information you present puts the novus ordo and false traditionalists in perspective. The pictures of both the real and fake Sister Lucy are very convincing.
I wonder if Mr. Gruner will close up shop now? :o)

Dear Brothers, I read your article on Fatima with great interest. Very well done. I had given up on the explanations of N.Gruner long ago. What I'd like to know is how should we devotedly observe Fatima today?
Thank you and God bless you in your excellent work.
The imperfect peace must be about over considering the Middle East and all the activity going on there and the rising tide of Islam over the whole world. And the New Order Church is collapsing upon itself as more and more the truth of what it is becomes clearer for all to see. Yet so few seem to see, or even want to see.
God Bless and keep up the good work.

Dear Brother Peter,
Last night I discovered your newest article "The Whole Truth about the Consecration and Conversion of Russia and the impostor Sr. Lucy." I began to read, with fascination, facts that I certainly had not heard before. I do recall a telephone conversation with Brother Michael several years ago which touched on the premature death of Sister Lucia. How these revelations would turn the world upside down!
I hope to finish reading the piece today. Thank you for this great piece of research that you have produced.
Judith Andrews
Thanks, we’re glad you liked it. The best way to observe Fatima today is to have a true devotion to the Holy Rosary (pray 15 decades each day if you can), and make St. Louis De Montfort’s consecration to the Blessed Virgin as described in his book, True Devotion to Mary. If you have not read the book Our Lady of Fatima by William Thomas Walsh, you really should. It’s one of the best books out there, and the best on the pure message of Fatima, in our view.
Is the article, The Whole Truth about the Consecration and Conversion of Russia, available in printed form to be ordered? RoyMHFM: Not right now. But it will be available in a book we hope to publish this summer.
Brothers,
I have been receiving CFN for years now and have progressively been getting sicker and sicker of the blasphemies levied against the Church. The only reason I maintained subscription was to keep up with the latest outrages. I now see I was wrong because I don't need them to fill me in with their convoluted blasphemous accusations against what they consider the Bride of Christ. Yes, I'm tired of them trashing the good name of all that is Catholic. According to that paper, the Church is so blemished with heresy and errors that it is a joke to call it Catholic. Yet, it's OK to throw perpetual rocks at this Church they call Catholic and at it's "pope"... Just don't say he's not pope!!! That's right... stone him, flog him, beat him senseless for destroying millions of souls and the faith of almost the entire Catholic world, disobey him, slander him, set up Churches and orders apart from him, mock him, resist him to his face BUT please please please don't say he's anything less than the "holy father" the "head" of Christ's Bride and Church, the Pope of the world! Chris Ferrara's latest pablem was so sickening that I refuse to renew any further subscriptions. Yes, funny how Mr. Ferrara NEVER mentions to his readers that there are sound reasons for sedevacantism based on INFALLIBLE teachings of Popes! Funny how he NEVER mentions anything about Paul IV's Bull which directs the laity specifically to reject anyone in office as warlock who would "deviate" from the faith! That Bull states that even if the laity are wrong about their conclusion, they are free to reach such a conclusion with impunity IF they (the laity) perceive the cleric to be a heretic. So, according to real Catholic teaching even if the sedevacantists are wrong (and they aren't) and Ratzinger is the pope they still by virtue of that Bull have every RIGHT to hold he is NOT pope and withdraw because Ratzinger has been shown without doubt to have "deviated" from the faith,,,,PERIOD. Enough of this garbage about us being schismatic, it is Mr. Ferrara who is schismatic and I hope you punch him back soon on this latest pile of puke!
Well said… It’s the same thing with “Tradition in Action”; their continuous rants on how their “Pope” contradicts this Tradition and denies that teaching and mocks this dogma (all the while still asserting that he’s not even a heretic!) have grown tiresome – no, they have grown into blasphemies against the Church and the Papacy. Really, someone should tell them and Catholic Family News: just be quiet until you’re ready to denounce him for the non-Catholic heretic he is. Regarding Ferrara, his arguments have already been totally refuted; there is no sense in pounding on a corpse. (I mean, his “Pope” believes in the Joint Declaration with the Lutherans on Justification and Ferrara thinks he’s a Catholic; what more does one have to say?) Ferrara doesn’t address our arguments anyway; he sticks with fighting with his chosen opposition, Fr. Cekada, because Fr. Cekada does a pathetic job of producing heresies from Vatican II and Antipope Benedict XVI. (The reason for this is that most of the heresies of Antipope Benedict XVI have something to do with the dogma Outside the Church There is No Salvation, which Cekada also rejects).
first, no disrespect intended, but what is wrong with you people! John Paul was a great pope (yes POPE) not some heretic, all he was trying to do was bring a great many people together. it is my belief that most religions are the same, they all worship god, the polytheistic people all have 1 major god, with many lesser gods, which could be equal rank to an angel, and that one major is the god everyone else prays to, no one knows what god looks like so everyone has one form or another, but it is the same person, you need to open your minds and get a wider view of religion, like Paul II, further more I piety you, it is sad to think that you cant get along with the other people because of religion, what ever happened to the golden rule, you know "do unto others..." well this goes for people with a different religion too. well I hope you will take my words and really think about them, not just push them aside, and if you with to respond to me I encourage you to do so.

There you have it: this reader thinks that polytheism (the worship of various false gods – in other words, idolatry) is the same as Catholicism, and he is coming to the defense of John Paul II. Well yes, if you like idolatry, then I guess you would have to consider him John Paul the Great [Idolater]. But Jesus Christ teaches through His revelation that the gods of the heathen religions are demons, and that to put His one true religion on a par with the worship of demons, as John Paul II’s entire “Pontificate” did, is about as bad a sin and a heresy as one can commit.
Psalms 95:5- “For all the gods of the Gentiles are devils…” 1 Cor. 10:20- “But the things which the heathens sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God. And I would not that you should be made partakers with devils.” Pope St. Gregory the Great, quoted in Summo Iugiter Studio, 590-604: “The holy universal Church teaches that it is not possible to worship God truly except in her and asserts that all who are outside of her will not be saved.”Why do you not believe in Jesus Christ?
Dear Bro. Michael Dimond,
Greetings and Christ's blessings for this year. I am a Catholic doctor(endocrinologist/diabetologist) from Goa; currently working in the Middle East.
Its been some months since I have been strongly influenced by Traditional Catholicism.I was agnostic several years back and so I am familiar with comparative religion as well. I am not a scholar, but the wealth of writings about(against the Novus ordo) has made me come to the same belief that the validity of the Novus Ordo is at least doubtable...if it is not invalid... Unfortunately neither in India nor here do we have any Traditionalist groups.
I begin the New Year with some joy of having reached at the truth. Of course, I have suddenly become an orphan with no real Church or Mass to go to!! I have stopped going for the Mass altogether. I feel sadder for the rest of the Catholics who really do not know or do not want to know...the Church as we know it is just heading for destruction..
I have read many arguments against sedevacantism and it is really sad that those who write such excellent articles against the heresies of the post-conciliar church cannot reason when it comes to a matter as simple as this… I believe in things that many Traditionalists unfortunately don't: 1)Opposition to the evil practice of NFP. I consider it a serious heresy and sinful and part of Satan's deception.
2)I strongly believe in the absolute interpretation of the "Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus"(EENS) dogma...the way Fr.Feeney believed. I believe this is the fundamental dogma of the Catholic Church and any undermining of it or to say that " God is not bound by the Sacraments"....as a concession for the 'invincibley ignorant'.. ..would amount to at the worst denying the Incarnation and at the least denying the need for the Incarnation/Death and Resurrection to be known by humanity at all..the so called 'unknown Christ'..!! I believe that if God is not bound by the sacraments; then God had no reason to incarnate…
Greetings once again and God bless.

It’s great to hear that you have the true Catholic Faith. We will say a prayer for you.
Dear Brothers,
Do you have a copy of Mancipia of January 2006. On page 4, No Pope? No Hope!.Are you inserested in replying. (Very Flimsy)
Thank you
M.S.
Yes, thank you, it’s covered in the Heresy of the Week.
Dear Brother Dimond: I am writing this to express my admiration for your excellent defense of the Catholic doctrine in your weekly item "Heresy of the Week" of 2/4/06. God bless you, Jos ValkeringMHFM: Glad you liked it… the SBC really walked into that one with “No Pope? No Hope!”
Dear Monastery,
I troubled you a few days ago with my questions.
I think I’ve found almost all I wanted on your site, which I’ve looked up through more thoroughly now.
So this is to thank you very much indeed because I doubt I would’ve understood what and how I should do and act when a liturgy is said by a heretical priest. And they are perhaps all of them up to Archbishop Huzar as they call Benedict XVI ‘pope’ during the service (one, I recall, had privately praised JPII for having visited an Islamic temple – not big deal, he’d said; another one had spoken in his homily two weeks ago how moved he’d been on the day of JPII’s burial – “such a great man” ). In addition, the main celebrant in my parish told me a few days ago that ‘orthodox’ ‘mysteries’ (sacraments) ‘are’ ‘valid’ – something I opposed and disagreed with. My reasoning is how they can be valid, if schismatics are beyond the Church whereby are not Christians. They are null, void and nothing.
O.k., thank you very much for your site and your hard work. It did help me to clear out clouds in front of the light of my Catholic faith. Although this is just a beginning for me.
God bless.
Yurij Vovkohon.
Thanks for the interest. The only thing I would mention is that it’s important to understand that heretics and schismatics can have a valid Mass and Eucharist, if they observe proper matter and form and have a valid priesthood. “Orthodox” schismatics do have a valid Mass, since they have a valid priesthood and employ valid matter and form in their liturgy. But being outside the Church, they do not profit from the reception of sacraments, but sin when receiving them; and since they are notorious heretics, no Catholic can receive sacraments from them.
Pope Leo XIII, Apostolicae Curae, Sept. 13, 1896: “When anyone has rightly and seriously made use of the due form and the matter requisite for effecting or conferring the sacrament he is considered by that very fact to do what the Church does. On this principle rests the doctrine that a sacrament is truly conferred by the ministry of one who is a heretic or unbaptized, provided the Catholic rite be employed. On the other hand, if the rite be changed, with the manifest intention of introducing another rite not approved by the Church, and of rejecting what the Church does, and what by the institution of Christ belongs to the nature of the sacrament, then it is clear that not only is the necessary intention wanting to the sacrament, but that the intention is adverse to and destructive of the sacrament.”Pope Pius IX, (+1862):“… whoever eats of the Lamb and is not a member of the Church, has profaned.” (Amantissimus # 3)
After viewing the activities of Bishop Fellay of the SSPX, it is our considered opinion that, in addition to the fact that the man has no real Faith, a major force driving him into full reconciliation with the Vatican II sect is his vanity. We believe that he wants to go down in history as the one who “ended the schism,” and we believe this is why he is really pushing for this reconciliation. Fellay’s tenure as Superior General of the SSPX comes to an end this year, so his only chance of getting the lion’s share of the credit for “ending the schism” will most certainly be gone by the end of the year.
That is why he seems to be pushing for this reconciliation at all costs. In fact, Fellay even seems to be weakening on his insistence that the Traditional Mass be made available to all:
Bishop Fellay, a recent article:” we don’t want to be a catholic group aside. We don’t ask for the old mass just for us, but for all. But maybe we have to go through this transitory status.”
Notice, he now seems to be saying that he wants the Traditional Mass available to all, but that they may “have to go through this transitory status” anyway, as if he would reconcile even without the full permission for every priest to celebrate the Traditional Mass.
Dear Brother Dimond:
My family and I are attending the .. (SSPX) though we do not support it financially. I am pregnant and due to give birth in the spring. I recently found out that our prospective godparents (whom I thought to be Catholic) are faithless heretics. I am talking about my own parents. My father has made it clear on a couple of occassions that I should stop having babies (we have 5 children so far). I know for a fact that the SSPX Church we attend will not baptize our new baby without godparents and I know of no one else that could fullfill that roll. I am considering baptizing the new baby myself at home; is this really the right thing to do in an non life threatening situation?...
I was also wondering about the author Solange Hertz and what you think of her. In one of her books, she indicated that it is better to stay home and say prayers, do spiritual reading, etc rather than attend the Mass of a heretic (even a heretic priest who calls himself traditionalist).
God bless you and keep up the wonderful work.
Brenda R.
Thank you for your question. You should baptize the baby yourself, and not have the SSPX priest do it. Regarding Solange Hertz, last time we checked she held that no one has the authority to say that the manifestly heretical non-Catholic Antipopes of the Vatican II sect are not true Popes. Thus, her opinion on where one may or may not attend Mass isn’t worth much. I believe she holds, or at least accepts as Catholic, the heretical position of The Remnant; otherwise they wouldn’t carry her articles and give her awards. (more…)
Hello Bro. Michael,
Just want to say thanks for the great job you've been doing with your internet site…I just received your DVD sale package & I was impressed. I'll try to make this short. I was a fallen away Catholic for nearly 25 years. I had a strange dreamback in 1985 or so tha tconcerned an impending nuclear strike from Russia. The feeling of terror was amomg all the workers at my jobsite. This dream woke me up at 5 in the morning. About 5 hours later I was trying to dial in my usual radio station & then landed on a Veronica Lueken radio broadcast. She was talking about an emminant nuclear strike from Russia. I was really freaked out by this coincidence. First of all, I never remember dreams so this nightmare was unusual. Second , I never listen to religous radio. So this compelled
me to check these Baysiders out.
Anyway I got sucked into this cult. I was impressed with the holiness of these people. This led me to read the Bible for the first time in my life. I was obsessed for about four months reading the bible. Then it hit me that Bayside was not of God. Its wierd that they supported John Paul II, but rejected theauthority of the local bishop who condemmed the Bayside group. I felt horrible that God would let me fall into this trap. On the other hand, I did get an intensive study course on what our Faith is all about. So I collected all my Bayside literature and demonically etched Polaroid photos, put them into a brown paper bag, & delivered it to the local parish priest. I said to Fr.Shierse " you guys got a problem!" Fr. Shierse was nice enought to listen to my concerns. I was a raving lunatic trying to figure out the state of the Church and the world, but he was decent enought to spend some time going over my concerns.
So a few years went by and I got very discouraged with the traditional Catholics. I realised that if nobody would take on Pope John Paul II's Assisi world prayer abombination, that the future of the Church looked pretty grim. As I remember, I think your Newsletter was the only source that would call a spade a spade. So anyway, I got tired of this lonesome burdon of seeing things in such a pessimistic outlook. I sort of went into a spiritual coma for about 10 years. This past year we had the Schiavo case, the Iraq torture pictures, the New Orleans NWO insanity, so these events rang the alarm bells again for me. I spent a lot of time in these last year of searching the internet for answers about the Faith and the world. I just stumbled upon your website about a month ago.
So keep up the good work. You were great on that Creation DVD. I've been making copies and handing them
out…God Bless You,
Michael Pawlikowski
Wilmington, Delaware
Thanks for the e-mail.
Dear Brothers Peter and Michael Dimond,
Thanks for what you are doing. Greater thanks to Our Lord and Our Blessed Lady for bringing you to us. I am an Architect by profession in private practice here in Abuja, Nigeria. I came in contact with your monastery through my friend Francis Maria Ameh and was so overwhelmed that I called a group of like minded Traditional Catholics in my Parish… We listened carefully to the tapes you sent to Bro Francis Maria Ameh and after series of Novenas to Our Lady of Perpetual Help, St. Joseph and the Infant Jesus, we have decided to form a group of Traditional Catholics here in Abuja under my unworthy leadership. This group is not subject to the Vatican II hierarchy.…
The group has mandated me to request from you the following information… These are our immediate concerns because your video and audio tapes together with the book “OUTSIDE THE CATHOLIC CHURCH THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO SALVATION” which we down loaded from the Internet are spreading like wild fire here in Abuja and soon, many people may take side with us. It will require the services of a Priest to take care of such a great number.
Yours truly, in Jesus Mary and Joseph,
John Bosco Maria Tyozenda
Our Lady of Guadalupe, Pray for us
Maybe our readers could say a prayer for this group.
