From Ireland, Interested In Converting
To whom it may concern,
My name is Ruairí and I'm a 21 year old from Ireland. I have been watching your video content recently and I'm interested in converting to true traditional Catholicism…

Wants To Convert
Hello MHFM,
I'm convinced on all the issues mentioned in your videos. What are the next steps that I need to take to convert?
Sincerely,
Jakub
That’s great to hear. The steps to convert are here: https://vaticancatholic.com/catholic-baptism-steps-to-convert/ We also recommend that Catholics, if they can, pray 15 decades of the Rosary each day and the Hail Mary frequently.
MHFM: This is an interesting quote from Church historian Sozomen concerning the jurisdictional authority exercised by Pope Julius (who became pope in 337) over Eastern bishops during the time of St. Athanasius.
Sozomen, Ecclesiastical History, Book 3, Chap. 8, 5th Century: “The Roman bishop, on learning the accusation against each individual, and on finding that they held the same sentiments about the Nicaean dogmas, admitted them to communion as of like orthodoxy; and as the care for all was fitting to the dignity of his see, he restored them all to their own churches. He wrote to the bishops of the East, and rebuked them for having judged these bishops unjustly, and for harassing the Churches by abandoning the Nicaean doctrines.”
Every one who has believed on Jesus the Christ is born of God. And he who loves Him who begot also loves Him who is begotten of Him. (1 John 5:1)
Freak
Actually, the Greek of 1 John 5:1 uses γεγέννηται, a perfect tense verb meaning “has been born”, signifying an action completed in the past.
1 John 5:1- “Everyone believing [Πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων – present participle] that Jesus is the Christ has been born [γεγέννηται – perfect tense verb] of God…”
This indicates that every true believer in Christ (who possesses saving faith) has already been born of God in water baptism. We discuss this in our article and video on Cornelius: https://vaticancatholic.com/speaking-in-tongues-baptism-holy-spirit/
You can’t believe with the result that you are reborn. It’s just the opposite: you must be reborn in baptism in order to possess saving faith.
As the Council of Trent declared:
Council of Trent, Sess. 6, Chap. 7 on Justification: “This faith, conformably to Apostolic tradition, catechumens beg of the Church before the sacrament of baptism, when they ask for the faith that gives eternal life, which without hope and charity faith cannot give.”
As St. John and the Council of Trent teach, a person does not have saving faith until he or she is born of God in the Sacrament of Baptism. That’s why the Church has always taught that only the baptized are ‘the faithful’. Pope Innocent III also solemnly declared that there is absolutely no salvation outside the Church of the faithful.
Pope Innocent III, Fourth Lateran Council, 1215: “There is indeed one universal Church of the faithful outside of which no one at all is saved…”
“Una vero est fidelium universalis ecclesia, extra quam nullus omnino salvatur…”
MHFM: Many John 3:5 mockers misrepresent the teaching of the early fathers on the necessity of baptism (and related matters). They claim that all the fathers taught that ‘baptism of blood’ could replace water baptism. But that is not true. The Chair of St. Peter gives us the true doctrine of the fathers. Here’s the official teaching of Pope St. Leo the Great, which directly contradicts ‘baptism of blood’ and ‘baptism of desire’ by declaring that for UNBAPTIZED CATECHUMENS in PERSECUTION (or any other danger) actually receiving water baptism is the ONLY WAY to be saved. That would not be true if ‘baptism of blood’ and ‘baptism of desire’ were ways for unbaptized catechumens in danger or persecution to be saved.
MHFM: We have often emphasized (e.g. see the videos below) that a primary reason God withholds true faith from people is that they seek to please men rather than God (John 5:44). This is an interesting quote from the Acts of the Second Council of Nicaea in that regard.
The Acts of the Second Council of Nicaea (AD 787), Sess. 6: “… the writer of Proverbs said: ‘There are paths that seem to a man to be straight but their ends lead to the pit of Hades’ – this they too have suffered because they were overcome with the desire to please men and spoke from their own bellies. They thought their paths were straight, but they lead those who follow them into the pit of Hades.” (Richard Price, p. 462)

Unbelievable Apostasy
No Catholic Believes What Francis Just “Approved”
Incredible work. Over ten years of heresy from Francis, yet people are still arrogant to the truth. The gall that Vatican II sectarians have when they claim sedevacantists believe the gates of Hell prevailed against the Church. No. In fact, to believe that the Vatican II antipopes are true popes — when they’re not — is to believe the gates of Hell prevailed. Glory be to God my family and I were saved from the unbelievable apostasy of the Vatican II antichurch.

No Catholic Believes What Francis Just “Approved”
If I’m not mistaken, Francis is also against life imprisonment, calling it a “secret death penalty” in Fratelli Tutti… Meaning, someone can murder an entire family (including children), and according to Francis it would be immoral to either execute them or sentence them to life in prison. Wow, how diabolical. It’s almost as bad as the Once Saved Always Saved heresy.
DeusVult
The false traditionalist group called “The Fatima Center” (which was founded by Nicholas Gruner) has now taken the position that the woman who presented herself as “Sr. Lucia” after 1967 was an impostor. They recently stated: “The Fatima Center’s position is that it has been established with reasonable certainty that the woman presenting herself as Sister Lucia in all known public photos from 1967 onward was not the true Lucia.”
That’s the true position, and it has recently been confirmed by forensic evidence. While we certainly do not endorse their group (which has serious theological problems), we’re glad that they have finally acknowledged the truth on this point, after having promoted the impostor Sr. Lucia (and having misled people on the matter) for decades. We hope that they come around to the full truth about the Vatican II Counter Church.
We were the first organization in the world to publicly state and make the case that there was an impostor Sr. Lucia. We first mentioned this briefly in a magazine we published around the year 2000. We also mentioned it on our website in 2004 in questions and answers. We knew that there was an impostor because it was impossible that the real Sr. Lucia would do what the post-Vatican II “Sr. Lucia” was doing. The two individuals were also different in appearance. In 2006, we published a widely-read article called: The Whole Truth about the Consecration and Conversion of Russia and the Impostor Sr. Lucy. Subsequently we put the information about the impostor Sr. Lucia on a DVD and into various YouTube videos, which were viewed well over a million times.
In our 2006 article we laid out the case that there was an impostor. We cited facts about the problematic writings and actions of the impostor. We covered how her appearance differed from the true Sr. Lucia, why she could not be the true Sr. Lucia, and we answered various objections (such as why her extended family would not have complained). When we published that 2006 article, the position that there was an impostor was very unpopular and dismissed by many as “absurd”. However, that didn’t stop us from stating that there was an impostor because it was true and people needed to know about it. Now, about twenty years later, it has been confirmed by forensic evidence. (People are really going to be shocked when they discover that we’re correct about the Antichrist and the Consecration of Russia as well.) It should also be noted that after our 2006 article came out (in which we made the case that there was an impostor, and explained how the consecration of Russia was fulfilled), another woman (named Marian) published her own article about how she believed there was an impostor. But her article came out after our big 2006 article, and well after we had mentioned this in our publications. When our 2006 article came out, many people in ‘traditionalist circles’ began to talk about the impostor Sr. Lucia issue. After that happened, the other woman (Marian) apparently got the courage to also claim that there was an impostor, but that was after people were talking about it as a result of our article. We mention this because in recent years many other groups have now taken the position that there was an impostor Sr. Lucia, but they almost never mention that we were the first organization to point this out. In fact, if we hadn’t publicly made the case that there was an impostor so many years ago (in the face of great opposition), it’s possible (if not probable) that no one would be saying it now.

MHFM: Today is the feast of Pope St. Leo the Great, one of the greatest popes in Christian history. We quote him quite a bit in our material. Among many other things, Leo the Great’s official teaching proves that no one at all is saved without the Sacrament of Baptism:
Pope Leo The Great On The Necessity Of Baptism For Salvation
His teaching also refutes the false doctrines of the Eastern ‘Orthodox’, such as their rejection of the Papacy, their rejection of the Filioque, and their false doctrine of Palamism. As an example, see:

Man Shot & Saw Hell – Shocking Must-See Video
Dear Brothers,
Thank you for this spectacular video which shows us the hand of God at work in this breathtaking illustration of Divine Justice -- and Divine Mercy. The first part of God's Mercy has been to allow Dominic to experience -- and also to be able to recall and describe in detail -- the true nature of hell. But the second and even greater part of God's Mercy (towards him and towards all of us) is to be shown by MHFM how those truths of hell are Catholic and Biblical, and that what Dominic describes is either ignored or denied by all fake "Christian" religions (including the Vatican II Sect). It was striking to me to see how precise, detailed and comprehensive Dominic's recollections and descriptions are, and I don't think that's a coincidence. We pray for his conversion and for the conversion of others because, as Dominic correctly says, God wills it. Interesting, too, were Dominic's remark on the hatred of the devils toward souls, and the absence in hell of hope and all good things - all of which are gifts of God that ungrateful men abuse and take for granted. Thank you, MHFM, for another powerful and life-changing video.

St. Cyril On The Devil Always Fighting Against the Church
St. Cyril of Alexandria, Epistle 67: “The dragon, the apostate, the truly all-grievous wild beast, fighting against God, has not rested nor ever ceased from the perversity within him; but harboring in himself inexhaustible ill-will towards the holy churches, he has had the effrontery to raise up against the doctrines of the truth the intemperate tongues of unholy and profane men who have a cauterised conscience.”
Demonic Guile
Faustina & The Divine Mercy Deception
Thank you for this excellent video clearly uncovering what deception and demonic guile this devotion is. I notice that the Sunday chosen for the promulgation of this heresy of mercy without repentance is the Sunday on which, in both the true Latin traditional rite and the fake novus ordo rite, we have the Gospel reading in which Our Lord bestows upon His apostles, the first priests, the exclusive power to forgive and to retain sins. This devotion is at odds with the very Gospel passage of Low Sunday…

Elderly Priest
Faustina & The Divine Mercy Deception
An elderly priest told us that that is no longer the teaching of the church and that the proclamation that salvation only exists within the RC church is longer professed.
Celtic M
That elderly priest is a heretic. It’s a dogma that no one is saved outside the Catholic Church. Also, the New Mass must be avoided, as our material explains.
Pope Gregory XVI (1832): “Finally some of these misguided people attempt to persuade themselves and others that men are not saved only in the Catholic religion, but that even heretics may attain eternal life… You know how zealously Our predecessors taught that article of faith which these dare to deny, namely the necessity of the Catholic faith and of unity for salvation… Omitting other appropriate passages which are almost numberless in the writings of the Fathers, We shall praise St. Gregory the Great who expressly testifies that THIS IS INDEED THE TEACHING OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. He says: ‘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.’ Official acts of the Church proclaim the same dogma. Thus, in the decree on faith which Innocent III published with the synod of Lateran IV, these things are written: ‘There is one universal Church of all the faithful outside of which no one is saved.’” (Summo Iugiter Studio)
Apology
Dear MHFM, I apologize for unreasonably criticizing your sedevacantism earlier. I humbly admit that I had opposed your position in bad will by appealing to emotions rather than considering the objective evidence/truth. I now fully agree with your position that heads John XXIII - Francis were/is antipope(s) and the seat of St. Peter has been vacant since the 2nd V.C. Thank you and God for delivering me from false position and dishonest will.

An act of false charity by those antipopes.

St. Bernard Against Phony Annulments
MHFM: This is a quote from St. Bernard against bishops in his day who unjustifiably granted an annulment. The pope at the time, Innocent II, supported him and excommunicated the bishops. That's quite a contrast to the Vatican II Sect, which hands out invalid annulments like hot cakes: The Annulment Fiasco – The Vatican II Sect’s De Facto acceptance of Divorce and Remarriage
St. Bernard, Letter 294 To Pope Innocent II, 1142: “It is written: ‘What God has joined together let no man put asunder.’ But shameless men have arisen who, despite the law of God, have not scrupled to separate what God has joined together. They have gone further and added one sin to another by uniting what should not be united. The sacred rites of the Church have been violated and the robes of Christ have been torn, and to make matters worse this has been done by those very persons whose business it ought to be to mend them.’”

Constantinople II: Separated For Contrary Opinions
MHFM: This passage from the Second Council of Constantinople in 553 demonstrates once again that people who hold opinions contrary to the Church’s official teaching are separated from the Church’s communion by that fact itself, before any declaration.
Second Council of Constantinople, Sess. 3, AD 553: “… the holy, catholic and apostolic church of God, if anyone separates himself from its communion by holding contrary opinions, such a person, since he alienates himself from the orthodox faith and numbers himself with the heretics, is justly condemned and anathematized by the holy Church of God.”

Logical Conclusion
St. Robert Bellarmine vs. Antipopes Francis And Benedict XVI On Judas’ Fate
The denial of this obvious truth perfectly illustrates the logical conclusion of the rejection of the dogma "outside the Church there is no salvation." If Judas was saved, literally anyone can be (according to the demonic Vatican II sect).
Justin Knight
The video above (Jesus and the Shroud of Turin) is a must-see, and it is available to order from our online store. Click Here
"And Jesus said, 'Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.' And they cast lots to divide his garments." (Luke 23:34)
Did Jesus pray for all who crucified Him while He was on the Cross? The answer is no, according to St. Thomas Aquinas. Since Christ’s prayers were absolutely efficacious, being perfectly conformed to God's will, He only prayed for those in the world who would accept Him and were predestined to eternal life.
St. Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologiae, Pt. 3, Q. 21, A. 4, Whether Christ’s Prayer Was Always Heard: “Objection 2. Further, He [Christ] prayed that the sin of those who crucified Him might be forgiven, as is related (Luke 23:34). Yet not all were pardoned this sin, since the Jews were punished on account thereof. Therefore it seems that not every prayer of His was heard… I answer that, according to the will of reason, Christ willed nothing but what He knew God to will. Wherefore every absolute will of Christ, even human, was fulfilled, because it was in conformity with God; and consequently His every prayer was fulfilled. For in this respect also is it that other men's prayers are fulfilled, in that their will is in conformity with God, according to Romans 8:27… Reply to Objection 2: Our Lord did not pray for all those who crucified Him, as neither did He for all those who would believe in Him; but for those only who were predestinated to obtain eternal life through Him. Wherefore the reply to the third objection is also manifest.”
The Errors of Peter Abelard, Condemned by Innocent II, July 16, 1140, #10: “That they have not sinned who being ignorant have crucified Christ, and that whatever is done through ignorance must not be considered sin.” - Condemned.
St. John Chrysostom, On Luke 23:34: “But He [Jesus] says, Forgive them, if they should repent. For He is gracious to the penitent, if they are willing after so great wickedness to wash away their guilt by faith.”
MHFM: St. Robert Bellarmine correctly taught, based on the words of Scripture, that Judas was damned.
St. Robert Bellarmine, De Iustificatione, Book 3, Chap. 14: “But it is firmly established that Judas was reprobate and damned, both from the passage where he is called ‘the son of perdition’ [John 17:12] and from Matthew 26, where the Lord says concerning Judas: ‘It would be better for that man if he had not been born.’”
However, the heretics Antipope Francis and Antipope Benedict XVI taught that Judas might have been saved.
Francis, Jan. 19, 2018: “None of us can say that a person has not gone to heaven. I will tell you something that might surprise you: we cannot even say it about Judas.”
Benedict XVI, Oct. 18, 2006: “This poses two questions when it comes to explaining what happened [with Judas]. The first consists in asking ourselves how it was possible that Jesus chose this man and trusted him. In fact, though Judas is the group's administrator (cf. John 12:6b; 13:29a), in reality he is also called "thief" (John 12:6a). The mystery of the choice is even greater, as Jesus utters a very severe judgment on him: "Woe to that man by whom the son of man is betrayed!" (Matthew 26:24). This mystery is even more profound if one thinks of his eternal fate, knowing that Judas ‘repented and brought back the 30 pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders, saying 'I have sinned in betraying innocent blood'’ (Matthew 27:3-4). Though he departed afterward to hang himself (cf. Matthew 27:5), it is not for us to judge his gesture, putting ourselves in God's place, who is infinitely merciful and just.”
MHFM: In John 7:52, we read that the Pharisees tried to undermine the credibility of Our Lord and His miracles by claiming that no prophet rises from Galilee.
John 7:52- “They replied, ‘Are you from Galilee too? Search and see that no prophet arises from Galilee.’”
Not only were they wrong about Jesus, of course, but their claim is refuted by the example of the Old Testament prophet Jonah. In 2 Kings 14:25 (4 Kings 14:25 in the Douay-Rheims), the prophet Jonah is described as from Gath-hepher, which was a town of Zebulun in Lower Galilee.

Pope Leo XIII, Rerum Novarum (#4), May 15, 1891: “… the socialists… are striving to do away with private property, and contend that individual possessions should become the common property of all, to be administered by the State or by municipal bodies.”
Pope Leo XIII, Rerum Novarum (#38), May 15, 1891: “… there is the duty of safeguarding private property by legal enactment and protection. Most of all it is essential, where the passion of greed is so strong, to keep the populace within the line of duty; for, if all may justly strive to better their condition, neither justice nor the common good allows any individual to seize upon that which belongs to another, or, under the futile and shallow pretext of equality, to lay violent hands on other people's possessions.”

Ezekiel 8: Miraculous Transportation & Vision
MHFM: Ezekiel chapter 8 records that the prophet experienced a miraculous transportation, similar to what happened to various Catholic saints. He was taken by his hair and brought from Babylon into Jerusalem in order to miraculously see the abominations committed there.
Ezekiel 8:2-3- “Then I looked, and behold, a form that had the appearance of a man. Below what appeared to be his waist was fire, and above his waist was something like the appearance of brightness, like gleaming metal. He put out the form of a hand and took me by a lock of my head, and the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven and brought me in visions of God to Jerusalem, to the entrance of the gateway of the inner court that faces north, where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provokes to jealousy.”
