I just converted a year and a half ago and I'm all in! Day after tomorrow, by His Grace, I'm bringing a lost sheep back to the flock! His Grace never ceases, no matter what is happening in Rome. Thank you for posting this.
Fantastic guys. I was once confronted by a lapsed ( hate filled) catholic in my work. ' look at all the paedophile priests. That's why I left the church ' was the point made. My response,' and they'll end up in hell just make sure you don't meet them there.' I will never leave the church founded by Christ.
Catechism #675 and 677 state that, before the second coming of Christ, the Church MUST follow Her Lord to Calvary, Death, and Resurrection for purification and renewal of the Church and world. The fulfillment of this Dogma is here, as we are now living through the prophesied events in 2 Thes 2:1-12 and the mystery of the iniquity (2 Thes 2:7) -- that's why we have had two popes (one True -- Benedict XVI; and the other false, as seen in the vision of Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich and prophesied by St. Francis of Assisi, non-canonically elected and destroyer), and great apostasy (2 Thes 2:3) in the Church. God never allows anything to happen before revealing them through his prophets (Amos 3:7) so that His faithful ones may be prepared for the events.
With the passing of Benedict XVI (on 12/31/2022), the restrainer, Katechon, has been removed and, therefore, the antichrist will soon appear in public (2 Thes 2:7-8), who will be the head of the 1 world religion, followed by schism after the denial of real presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist by a false pope, banning of the daily Sacrifice of the Mass (Daniel 12:11), abomination of desolation (Matt 24:15), and fiercest persecutions of the Church (Rev 12:17, 13:10) for 3.5 years (Daniel 12:11-12, Rev 12:14). But God will protect His Church as promised in Matt 16:18, "the gates of Hell shall not prevail against Her" and His faithful remnants (Ps 91). All prophecies of the end times will be fulfilled as written in our generation.
After the Schism, the Church will elect the last pope in St. Malachy's prophecy, 'Peter, the Roman', who will lead the Church through the Antichrist's persecutions, during which the Church will go underground, like the early Church during the Roman persecutions.
We are the generation specially chosen by God, from the beginning of the creation, to follow in the footsteps of Our Lord to Calvary, Immolation, and Resurrection, for the Praise and Glory of His Name. Let us, therefore, be prepared spiritually for the coming events by praying to God for the graces we need, so that we may fulfill whatever tasks given to us in a perfect manner for His Glory. Let us not fear, but face the coming events in Peace, for He will never leave, nor forsake His faithful, and His grace will be sufficient for us to fulfill the task perfectly (2 Cor 12:9) and remain faithful to the end (Rev 2:10). Amen!
@harleymann2086 That is your opinion. And you are free to follow him, but the Church teachings can't be changed with time as Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Heb 13:8). Please read the warnings from Blessed Mother below and open your eyes, and follow the True Magisterium of the Church for your salvation. Amen! Excerpts from Blessed Mother's Message No. 407 to Father Gobbi, Marian Movement of Priests (on 666 and the 3rd manifestation of Satan in human history): "In this period of time around year 3x666=1998, Freemasonry, assisted by its ecclesiastical form, will succeed in its great design: that of setting up an idol to put in the place of Christ and His Church. A false christ and a false church. Consequently, the statue built in honor of the first beast, to be adored by all the inhabitants of the earth and which will seal with its mark all those who want to buy or sell, is that of the Antichrist. You have thus arrived at the peak of the purification, the great tribulation, and the apostasy. The apostasy will be, as of then, generalized because almost all will follow the false christ and the false church. Then the door will open for the appearance of the man or the very person of the Antichrist.
I have wanted to enlighten you concerning the pages of the Apocalypse to prepare you with Me for the most painful and decisive part of the great struggle fought out between your Heavenly Mother and all the forces of evil which have been let loose. Take courage! Be strong, My little children. To you befalls the duty, in these difficult years, of remaining faithful to Christ and His Church, putting up with hostility, struggle, and persecution. But you are a precious part of the little flock, which has the task of fighting against and, in the end, conquering the powerful force of the Antichrist. I am forming you all, defending you, and blessing you!"
Fulfillment of the above prophecy of the Blessed Mother is here. Let us be ready and do our Duty to remain faithful to Christ and His One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic Church until the end. Let us not fear, but face the coming events in Peace, for He will never leave, nor forsake His faithful, and His grace will be sufficient for us to fulfill the task perfectly, whatever it may be (2 Cor 12:9), and remain faithful to the end (Rev 2:10). Amen!
I'm in RCIA and have no intention ever leaving the Catholic church and going back to any protestant set, I'm counting the days for my baptism and conformation. 🙏🙏🙏
It's above my pay grade to involve myself and family in the struggles within the leadership of the Catholic Church. We can only be loyal to the faith and pray daily. There is nothing wrong with our age old beliefs and traditions but only with human errors, especially within the leadership of Church. I was BORN CATHOLIC, RAISED CATHOLIC AND WILL DIE CATHOLIC.
This " above my pay grade " thinking is what gave us the scandals and the problems we have now , FYI you put money in their collection plate , they don't put money in yours, we can make our demands clear, we can defund heretics.
@@CatholicDefender-bp7my Thank you for that quote. I am a 76 year old cradle Catholic and have never left but I have questioned and it gets difficult. God has always been faithful though I haven’t. I see it now. Such quotes as this one from the Bible are so encouraging. God bless you.
Proof that the Church realizes her members are all sinners is the sacrament of confession. Even popes are required to confess their sins. Why God hasn’t given up on me with all my sins I don’t know but I’m glad He hasn’t and I can’t give up on other sinners either.

I have heard that the vast majority of current seminarians are conservative. My son is currently in seminary. Let's not forget to pray for our clergy and seminarians ❤
The world despises the Church. You have to be convinced of the Truth of the Church to go into seminary now. Perhaps this will change the orientation of the Church established by Christ.
@AlejandroOjedaN My son attended and served the Traditional Latin Mass. In seminary he has learned the Novus Ordo as well. Both are valid forms of the Mass. Seminarians do not focus on the Pope. They focus on the souls of their parishioners and the people they meet. They must also learn Spanish so they can serve Mass in that language. It's all about serving people and especially serving God. The whole world does not hate Catholics. That is you speaking on behalf of everyone in the world. God bless you brother
@@AlejandroOjedaN The world hates the church because the world hated Jesus first! The fact that the world hates the church brings validity to the truthfulness of the church, because we are not of this world. If we were of the world the world would love its own, but because we are not of this world, the world hates us as it hated Jesus first. Take heart, we are only pilgrims passing through, our real home is in heaven with the Lord, but until He returns, keep doing the work that we are called to do for His names sake. Amen ✝️ 🙏 ✝️
@@StAlphonsusHasAPosse They're doing it backwards, they should teach them Latin first, once you know Latin you can pick up any romance language pretty easily. Pero tiene sentido que la iglesia quiera que él aprenda español. Incluso dónde vivo, muy lejos de la frontera de México, hay muchos hispanohablantes y también en todas partes de nuestro país.
The church will raise to her glory like never before!!! Young priests, the few young families, Or TLM families with 6-10 kids will all become priests, nuns, and eventually them priests become Bishops and Cardinals, what a great time to be Catholic, when things like this happen Saints are everywhere, LETS BECOME SAINTS!!! By keeping the Faith.
This past year I left the protestant church my parents go to, and decided to go to the Catholic Church. Right now having catechesis and getting baptized during Easter. And let me tell you, have never felt more blessed on sundays and the growth of my faith only just started
Take a read of some of these testimonies, google "344 Martyrs" you can go to page 345/3 etc, 184 William Tyndale. you haven't stepped into the light you have surrendered to religion and religiosity. Jesus Christ has always been the way the truth and the life, mankind has always tried to offer an alternative to that truth.
@tjd8822 God bless you. Your story is inspiring. I’m a revert to Catholicism. What I love most is feeling the awesome presence of God in every Catholic church walk in to. Jesus is truly with us in the blessed Sacrament. I will pray for your safe and fruitful journey home this Easter.

It took me 68 years to realize how 'false' the episcopal church is and the baptist churches aren't any better. Thankfully, my wife and I both woke up, and she being raised Catholic led us back to the Catholic Church. Thanks Be To God. There isn't anything we can do about the goings on at the upper levels, but we are very much looking forward to being in full communion with the Church and receiving the Eucharist soon.
I would suggest dig deeper. I was Rome Catholic now Eastern Orthodox. I defended roman Catholicism brought my children up in Roman. And used many Quotes from the early church fathers to support what I believed to be the true faith. But I was challenged to look further to many questions which I won't go into detail on here now. But part of that digging let me go further on the quotes that I thought supported the roman church such as St Ambrose saying where Peter is there's the church.....but digging and reading more of his writings you see is not what it sounds like. I am not going to send it here unless you want to see it. But this is the case with many church fathers if we take the time to sit down and read. This isn't an attack on anyone but just sharing
@@OrthodoxStudy-wd5nk Thank you for that. My coming from the false episcopal church to the Catholic Church is a miracle in itself and have only recently been confirmed. My wife and I both feel 'brand new' and are very happy with the Catholic Church. I do agree the Eastern Orthodox Church is another viable alternative to the many protestant churches out there. My older brother is a 'hard core' baptist and not open to anything that doesn't preach the 'rapture'. Poor thing. We are happy where are right now. Thank you and may God Bless You.
@@mpkropf5062 Thank you for that. I was confirmed in February and both my wife and I are in 'full communion' with the Church now. We both feel 'brand new'. Thanks be to God.
I agree. We should go to mass, go to confession and pray the rosary. Continue to do God's work to the best of our ability. God will work all this out. In the meantime, keep the faith and yes, stay Catholic.
God Bless you my Catholic Brother, I have been returning to the faith since the beggining of the year and have taken up my cross for Chirst. My brothers and sisters, the dirt of sin can be washed away and underneath is wool as white as snow, you but need go all in with The Church. Mary brought me back through the Holy Rosary of our Lady, The Mother always seems to come for the sons. The answer is so simple, PRAY PRAY PRAY your Rosary!
Growing up a novus ordo surrounded by hypocrites and lukewarms drove me away from the Church and into heathenism. I'll never go back after discovering the Latin Mass. Deo Gratias.
Our Catholic Church will survive this as history shows. So stay with The Catholic Church Brothers and Sisters, no matter what. God will work all of this out!
The RCC along with some of the protestants are attempting to meet the new world order on its terms by flying the rainbow flag. Have already signed their death warrant over any integrity they thought they had to guide the faithful. The burning of the books will come next. The new translations of their Holy Books are being prepared for the next generation. They won't change much they will just remove the truth for a lie. Read the document from 1401 De heretico comburendo you may find not much has changed controlling man's freedom to think freely has always been at the heart of manmade religion and religiosity. Our adversary has always been busy destroying the truth for the lie.
This is exactly what I think about problems with the papacy. This is merely a temporary problem, and we’ve been through worse. I have no problem sitting by and waiting it out, as I am fairly confident that we’ll get a better one very soon
As a Catholic who has been getting disheartened by the Pope seemingly pushing Catholics away from Christ and sowing many divisions between the faithful, it’s important to remember to stay in the church and fight for what’s right. The church has been through much more difficult struggles before. This was a very powerful reminder for me. Thank you for making this video..
RCC are reaping what they have sowed. The Dogma prove it a different gospel. The rainbow flag will be flying over the Vatican as it is in many so-called protestant churches. Try reading some of this "344Martyes" google that and then 345 343 etc. This man claims the RCC is the only way is lying. Sound good but Paul warms us in 2 Corinthians 11
@@roddycavin4600 Welcome home to what?? these are not telephone numbers. These are real people and indisputable facts. What is the truth is the question.RCC does not have it, This is from Catholic sources 37% of Americans don't believe in the Real Presence. One-third of Catholics overall don't believe in the Real Presence. This is what happened to some people who didn't believe in the Real Presence when the RCC had the power to control man's freedom to make his or her own choices. Even including those who did not agree with RCC Dogma that were not RCC. In 1521, Thomas Bernard was burnt alive at Norwich, for denying the real presence. In 1532, Thomas Harding, who with his wife, had been accused of heresy, was brought before the bishop of Lincoln, and condemned for denying the real presence in the sacrament. He was then chained to a stake, erected for the purpose, at Chesham in the Pell, near Botely; and when they had set fire to the fagots, one of the spectators dashed out his brains with a billet. The priests told the people, that whoever brought fagots to burn heretics would have an indulgence to commit sins for forty days. This year one Kirby was burned in Ipswich, for the testimony of the truth, for denying the real presence in the sacrament. When this martyr was brought to the stake, he said to one Mr. Wingfield, who attended him, "Ah! Mr. Wingfield, be at my death, and you shall say, there standeth a Christian sufferer in the fire." The proof text for these people is 1 Corinthians 11:26 The Real Presence is not mentioned in a lot of the testimonies but it is one of the main reasons for the bonfires. Not going to church, reading William Tyndale's New Testament and anything else that questions the Dogma of the RCC. If you need more names I can find them for you. Now the RCC does not have the power through their ecclesiastical court working hand in hand with the state to shove people onto bonfires to control men's freedom to think freely and not agree with their Dogma. I wonder what RCC would do with those who don't agree today if they had that power again??? Reply
Thank you for your love for Mother Church. Never will I leave!... being a convert for some 35 years, there was a reason why God called me to His only true Church and I love how we truly worship Jesus Christ in the Holy Catholic snd Apostolic Church. We follow the Holy Trinity, we have Mary, our Mother and the saints! How very rich we are. We give glory to God the Father, Jesus Christ His Son and Holy Spirit. May God have mercy and take pity on His True Church. Blessings🕯🌲⚘
it's actually really nice to hear this viewpoint. there are so many lay people with RUclips accounts that boarder on schismatic because they're calling into question the entire validity of the church while maintaining the label of catholic
This is precisely the correct response to the troubles in our church. In my humble opinion. I’ve thought for years people who point to bad bishops or a bad pope, etc. etc. as excuses to leave - These are people who are just rejecting religion in general. Just like all the rest, who are denying the authority of the church that Jesus founded.
I'm not planning on leaving the Church. A small group of us had a discussion on this very topic about a month ago and I said then that it took me a long time to find my way home and no matter what this Pope does or doesn't do I'm never leaving again. But that doesn't mean he gets a free pass or that I will stay with my parish no matter what. If our Pastor said this Sunday that our parish would begin blessing same sex unions or maybe even go so far as to desecrate holy ground by performing an abomination such as a ceremony legitimizing a sinful act along those lines I would leave and never return. If I had to drive 50 miles to find a true Church I would. We'll see how it all shakes out. I prayed for the Pope last night, but in order to be 100% truthful, I would prefer another Pope take his place. His ambiguous statements and habit of punishing good Bishops while letting heretics rise to prominent positions bothers me quite a bit. I say that because I will not lie, not on this matter.
Everyone needs to unite around the sacraments and pray the Rosary daily. This battle against the church is against the devil. Stay united to the church and pray. This coming from someone isn't Catholic yet. Protestantism virus is in the church. Fight against it in prayer
I really needed this video. I pray daily for persevere in the faith. What happened to your video on catholic converts? Unfortunately, many cradle Catholics like to criticize converts to the faith.
I like to remember Cardinal Newman. He himself was a convert, and is most highly regard by those attached to the traditions of the faith and the TLM. I am a cradle Catholic who is devoted to the TLM and one that the current Pope would dislike. Stay close to the sacraments. If you converts think it was going to be easy, you will now walk Calvary along with us life long Catholics.
I'm a cradle Catholic myself, and I do agree with that unfortunately that does happen that cradles are critical on converts, but also vice versa. Plenty of converts are critical on cradle Catholics as well just because a convert can point to a dozen verses in 30 seconds. Sorry, but that's really doesn't impress anyone. Just the same as my mail man can name off a dozen addresses in my neighborhood and I can't. But I know the context of my neighborhood, the mailman does not. That's how Catholics know the Bible, maybe can't name off a dozen passages, but us cradles definitely know the content in Scripture.
That convert video really just critized us cradles. A couple months back there was a video on how the Bible came together, and this lazy cradle Catholic had to correct that there was no council of Jamnia. And while the person that runs this channel named guy's such as Scott Hahn and Tim Staples, two brilliant converts. He failed to mention how Scott Hahn had to turn to a Monsignor that was a cradle Catholic to help Hahn understand the true meaning of confession. And how in Tim Staples conversion story, his marine buddy Matt Doolin who was a cradle Catholic, was the man who planted the seed in Tim Staples conversion. I myself am a cradle Catholic and have been a confirmation teacher for over 18 years. I enjoy this channel very much. I have done primarily my own studies, I've met both Hahn and Staples in person at Catholic Conferences. Along with cradle Catholics Jesse Romero, Dr Brant Pitre and also Dr Michael Barber and Patrick Madrid just to name a few. I have 8 converts this year in my adult RCIA class alone. All in all this is one of the best channels out there representing the Catholic Church, I pray that we can all come together.
I am a cradle Catholic. Oh yes, I will stay Catholic, but it's getting to the point I may have to go underground to practice my faith. I am a Catholic devoted to the TLM. Right now I have been blessed with access to the TLM not only on week ends, but during the week as well. We are blessed with bishops who are willing to turn the other cheek when TLM are celebrated within their diocese. Please don't demonize all bishops. So many have to walk a tight rope to make it seem like they are complying with the Pope and at the same time, let those who are very devoted to the TLM to continue without being pointed out.
Just realize SSPX is not in full communion with the Catholic Church. If it is because of the Latin Mass the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter offers the Latin Mass and is in complete communion with the Catholic Church.
Yes we must stay catholic whatever happen in the church because Jesus himself build the church and he promise that the power of death shall not prevail against it because Jesus is always with us in the holy sacrament if we have faith in him. Jesus I trust in you have mercy on us and on the whole world.
I was born and raised as a catholic...and have nowhere else to go because there is only one God and I don't see ,yself adoring dolls and what not's.I picture myself as a stable person with conservative views and I like it that way no change,I feel secure with what I have and I'm not looking for anything else.So God is the only one in my life!
The reason the Catholic Church is attacked is because She belongs to Christ. It's not for us to abandon the faith but to defend it. I believe Christ will set things straight. Viva Christo Rey
Tell this to the young people of the world who refuse to darken the doors of a Catholic Church once they leave the family nest! Fear is the friend of the Catholic Church and what keeps Catholics running to their pews on Sunday! Young people are not fearful and smart: a powerful combination.
To be a Catholic you must be with union with at least one Catholic bishop. Catholic bishop is a bishop that have integral Catholic faith, valid bishop consecration and jurisdiction and mission from the Pope.
As Catholics we don’t worship anybody except the living God. Leadership or not the roadmap had been set and no way we’re leaving our God. He will right the ship soon enough if there’s trouble.

Grave matter Full knowledge Full consent For example, an individual leaves the Catholic Church to attend a protestant one. That's grave matter. She knows that the Catholic Church teaches that outside the Church there is no salvation. She disagrees with it, but she is aware that is Church teaching. There is no extraordinary impediment to attending a Catholic Church. That would be mortal sin.
@@maddogproductions2916 If you carefully examem your conscience and can't remember any uncomfessed mortal sin, you probably don't have any unconfessed mortal sins.
Absolutely!! What goes on in the Vatican is God's business, not mine!! Our jobs are to keep our souls clean through confession and pray& go to mass!!! Other than that, it's God's business & doesn't affect my faith!!
I have said for several years now that many people are more faithful to their local football club than to the church. They will abandon their faith for virtually any reason, but they will stay loyal to the local sports team even if the players, owners, and/or managers are straight-up criminals. It's just a dumb excuse: the real reason people leave Catholicism is because truth is difficult and most people prefer comforting lies.
The catholic church is the ship of Noah, the little crib of Moses, the boat of Peter, and the womb of Mary. IT CANNOT SINK!! EVEN IF WAVES WASH OVER IT. stay catholic, take advantage of the sacraments and sacramentals. God is in control
64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him. 65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. 66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. 67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? 68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. 69 And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God. 70 Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil? 71 He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve. verse 70 one of you is a devil? reading the History of the RCC looks like that devil is still running around.
@@whathappening5323You forgot a couple of very important verses many protestants always forget, John 6:53-54, So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; 54 he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.” Instead of having no life in you I invite you to walk into a Catholic Church and feel the real presence of Jesus there. Then fall down on your knees and repent for being an antiCatholic bigot.
This is a good summary, and if I may say so, the same arguments I have among the real Catholics. But you have better pictures 🙂 I must say that initially, I was a bit cautious. After listening to this podcast, I'd say it's a good summary of the situation today. Bergoglio will be used by protestants as Exhibit A why the papacy is useless or fallible, because of his heresies. Protestants won't know about the sacking of Bsp Strickland or who Fernandez is, or unilateral change to Catechism - these are too much details. But they sure can point to Pachamama. If there's one thing that can unite all 30,000 protestants sects, it's idols. And Bergoglio has given them jet fuel by the oil tanker loads. We'll be hearing about it for generations of John MacArthurs (he who "calls out" everybody except himself).
Remain with the Catholic Church. Our Lord could have appointed the beloved disciple, St John, who alone among the Apostles remained while the other fled, to feed His sheep. Instead, Our Lord entrusted the care of His flock to St Peter, the very Apostle who denied the Lord three times. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. That weak man, Peter, is the Rock on whom the Church was built and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.
@@carissstewart3211 Brother I have a question or 2. I know that Orthodoxy takes prelest very seriously. Does Catholicism take prelest seriously? I don't mind filioque (to a degree) but the lack of talk about avoiding prelest worries me. Also I like alot of Eastern Saints is this ok?
@@AnonymousMan115 "prelest" is not a term we use in the West, but spiritual pride and vainglory are considered serious sins. We might call that pharisaism or self-righteousness. In the case of mysticism, there is a frequent warning against seeking extraordinary gifts and experiences. Those can be demonic in origin. Individuals who do experience such gifts must submit to the authority of their confessor or spiritual director. I don't know which saints in particular you are referring to. There is no official list of all the saints. If you think there is good reason to believe that such and such a person is in heaven, especially if he is venerated by the Eastern Catholic rites, I don't necessarily see the harm in asking for his intercession.
@@carissstewart3211 That's a relief. I was worried. As for Saints. To my knowledge Gregory Palamas, Mark of Ephesus, Seraphim of Sarov, and others are Saints in the Eastern Catholic Rite. In terms of Orthodoxy Seraphim Rose, St. John Maxamovitch, and St Gabriel the Fool For Christ are dear to my heart. ☦️✝️

Heretics cannot exercise a legitimate office in the Church. According to Pius X, one is a Catholic if one is baptised, professes the Catholic faith and is subject to the legitimate pastors. And nowadays, unfortunately, this often only works outside the official structures.
Catechism #675 and 677 state that, before the second coming of Christ, the Church MUST follow Her Lord to Calvary, Death, and Resurrection for purification and renewal of the Church and world. The fulfillment of this Dogma is here, as we are now living through the prophesied events in 2 Thes 2:1-12 and the mystery of the iniquity (2 Thes 2:7) -- that's why we have had two popes (one True -- Benedict XVI; and the other false, as seen in the vision of Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich and prophesied by St. Francis of Assisi, non-canonically elected and destroyer), and great apostasy (2 Thes 2:3) in the Church. God never allows anything to happen before revealing them through his prophets (Amos 3:7) so that His faithful ones may be prepared for the events.
With the passing of Benedict XVI (on 12/31/2022), the restrainer, Katechon, has been removed and, therefore, the antichrist will soon appear in public (2 Thes 2:7-8), who will be the head of the 1 world religion, followed by schism after the denial of real presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist by a false pope, banning of the daily Sacrifice of the Mass (Daniel 12:11), abomination of desolation (Matt 24:15), and fiercest persecutions of the Church (Rev 12:17, 13:10) for 3.5 years (Daniel 12:11-12, Rev 12:14). But God will protect His Church as promised in Matt 16:18, "the gates of Hell shall not prevail against Her" and His faithful remnants (Ps 91). All prophecies of the end times will be fulfilled as written in our generation.
After the Schism, the Church will elect the last pope in St. Malachy's prophecy, 'Peter, the Roman', who will lead the Church through the Antichrist's persecutions, during which the Church will go underground, like the early Church during the Roman persecutions.
We are the generation specially chosen by God, from the beginning of the creation, to follow in the footsteps of Our Lord to Calvary, Immolation, and Resurrection, for the Praise and Glory of His Name. Let us, therefore, be prepared spiritually for the coming events by praying to God for the graces we need, so that we may fulfill whatever tasks given to us in a perfect manner for His Glory. Let us not fear, but face the coming events in Peace, for He will never leave, nor forsake His faithful, and His grace will be sufficient for us to fulfill the task perfectly (2 Cor 12:9) and remain faithful to the end (Rev 2:10). Amen!
@harleymann2086 Please read the following Blessed Mother's message. Since the Orthodox churches still maintain the true teachings, they will join the true Catholic Church after a false church is established by the Antichrist. Excerpts from Blessed Mother's Message No. 407 to Father Gobbi, Marian Movement of Priests (on 666 and the 3rd manifestation of Satan in human history): "In this period of time around year 3x666=1998, Freemasonry, assisted by its ecclesiastical form, will succeed in its great design: that of setting up an idol to put in the place of Christ and His Church. A false christ and a false church. Consequently, the statue built in honor of the first beast, to be adored by all the inhabitants of the earth and which will seal with its mark all those who want to buy or sell, is that of the Antichrist. You have thus arrived at the peak of the purification, the great tribulation, and the apostasy. The apostasy will be, as of then, generalized because almost all will follow the false christ and the false church. Then the door will open for the appearance of the man or the very person of the Antichrist.
I have wanted to enlighten you concerning the pages of the Apocalypse to prepare you with Me for the most painful and decisive part of the great struggle fought out between your Heavenly Mother and all the forces of evil which have been let loose. Take courage! Be strong, My little children. To you befalls the duty, in these difficult years, of remaining faithful to Christ and His Church, putting up with hostility, struggle, and persecution. But you are a precious part of the little flock, which has the task of fighting against and, in the end, conquering the powerful force of the Antichrist. I am forming you all, defending you, and blessing you!"
Fulfillment of the above prophecy of the Blessed Mother is here. Let us be ready and do our Duty to remain faithful to Christ and His One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic Church until the end. Let us not fear, but face the coming events in Peace, for He will never leave, nor forsake His faithful, and His grace will be sufficient for us to fulfill the task perfectly, whatever it may be (2 Cor 12:9), and remain faithful to the end (Rev 2:10). Amen!
@@hyeminkwun9523Why didn’t you join an Eastern Catholic Church? To fall into schism with the hope the Eastern Orthodox with come back to Papal authority before you die makes no sense and quite possibly exposes your soul to jeopardy.
There are those inside the law that will be judged so . There are those outside the law who will be judged so . As St Paul said about those who are not Christians but act as they were . There are those who are Catholic but will be left in the outer darkness because of their lives . Then the non Catholic who lives a life full of love of God and neighbour who will enter eternal life . There is no one out of reach of the Catholic church as she alone has the mass . The saving sacrifice that all grace is poured out to all other churches religions and people .
I just converted a year and a half ago and I'm all in! Day after tomorrow, by His Grace, I'm bringing a lost sheep back to the flock! His Grace never ceases, no matter what is happening in Rome. Thank you for posting this.
Awesome!
Fantastic guys. I was once confronted by a lapsed ( hate filled) catholic in my work. ' look at all the paedophile priests. That's why I left the church ' was the point made. My response,' and they'll end up in hell just make sure you don't meet them there.' I will never leave the church founded by Christ.
Catechism #675 and 677 state that, before the second coming of Christ, the Church MUST follow Her Lord to Calvary, Death, and Resurrection for purification and renewal of the Church and world. The fulfillment of this Dogma is here, as we are now living through the prophesied events in 2 Thes 2:1-12 and the mystery of the iniquity (2 Thes 2:7) -- that's why we have had two popes (one True -- Benedict XVI; and the other false, as seen in the vision of Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich and prophesied by St. Francis of Assisi, non-canonically elected and destroyer), and great apostasy (2 Thes 2:3) in the Church. God never allows anything to happen before revealing them through his prophets (Amos 3:7) so that His faithful ones may be prepared for the events.
With the passing of Benedict XVI (on 12/31/2022), the restrainer, Katechon, has been removed and, therefore, the antichrist will soon appear in public (2 Thes 2:7-8), who will be the head of the 1 world religion, followed by schism after the denial of real presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist by a false pope, banning of the daily Sacrifice of the Mass (Daniel 12:11), abomination of desolation (Matt 24:15), and fiercest persecutions of the Church (Rev 12:17, 13:10) for 3.5 years (Daniel 12:11-12, Rev 12:14). But God will protect His Church as promised in Matt 16:18, "the gates of Hell shall not prevail against Her" and His faithful remnants (Ps 91).

@harleymann2086 That is your opinion. And you are free to follow him, but the Church teachings can't be changed with time as Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Heb 13:8). Please read the warnings from Blessed Mother below and open your eyes, and follow the True Magisterium of the Church for your salvation. Amen!

Welcome home
I'm in RCIA and have no intention ever leaving the Catholic church and going back to any protestant set, I'm counting the days for my baptism and conformation. 🙏🙏🙏
I'm also in RCIA. I have spent 2 years or so contemplating and researching Christianity to change my mind abruptly now.
Same. Cant wait til Easter when I can finally be fully welcomed into the truth faith 🙏
Hello to all the RCIA people, welcome hone! I thank God for His grace and mercy in bringing souls into to the Church 💖🙏🙏🙏💖
Welcome home
Praise God
It's above my pay grade to involve myself and family in the struggles within the leadership of the Catholic Church. We can only be loyal to the faith and pray daily. There is nothing wrong with our age old beliefs and traditions but only with human errors, especially within the leadership of Church. I was BORN CATHOLIC, RAISED CATHOLIC AND WILL DIE CATHOLIC.
This " above my pay grade " thinking is what gave us the scandals and the problems we have now , FYI you put money in their collection plate , they don't put money in yours, we can make our demands clear, we can defund heretics.
@@CatholicDefender-bp7my Thank you for that quote. I am a 76 year old cradle Catholic and have never left but I have questioned and it gets difficult. God has always been faithful though I haven’t. I see it now. Such quotes as this one from the Bible are so encouraging. God bless you.
Proof that the Church realizes her members are all sinners is the sacrament of confession. Even popes are required to confess their sins. Why God hasn’t given up on me with all my sins I don’t know but I’m glad He hasn’t and I can’t give up on other sinners either.

@@ruthmaryrose That quote is not from the bible.
I have heard that the vast majority of current seminarians are conservative.
My son is currently in seminary. Let's not forget to pray for our clergy and seminarians ❤
The world despises the Church. You have to be convinced of the Truth of the Church to go into seminary now. Perhaps this will change the orientation of the Church established by Christ.
@AlejandroOjedaN
My son attended and served the Traditional Latin Mass. In seminary he has learned the Novus Ordo as well. Both are valid forms of the Mass. Seminarians do not focus on the Pope. They focus on the souls of their parishioners and the people they meet. They must also learn Spanish so they can serve Mass in that language. It's all about serving people and especially serving God.
The whole world does not hate Catholics. That is you speaking on behalf of everyone in the world. God bless you brother
@@AlejandroOjedaN
The world hates the church because the world hated Jesus first! The fact that the world hates the church brings validity to the truthfulness of the church, because we are not of this world. If we were of the world the world would love its own, but because we are not of this world, the world hates us as it hated Jesus first. Take heart, we are only pilgrims passing through, our real home is in heaven with the Lord, but until He returns, keep doing the work that we are called to do for His names sake. Amen ✝️ 🙏 ✝️
I'd be willing to bet that's true, the West is not culturally Christian anymore, so there's no reason for liberals to stay in the Church.
@@StAlphonsusHasAPosse
They're doing it backwards, they should teach them Latin first, once you know Latin you can pick up any romance language pretty easily.
Pero tiene sentido que la iglesia quiera que él aprenda español. Incluso dónde vivo, muy lejos de la frontera de México, hay muchos hispanohablantes y también en todas partes de nuestro país.
The church will raise to her glory like never before!!! Young priests, the few young families, Or TLM families with 6-10 kids will all become priests, nuns, and eventually them priests become Bishops and Cardinals, what a great time to be Catholic, when things like this happen Saints are everywhere, LETS BECOME SAINTS!!! By keeping the Faith.
A decade of Francis Bergoglio isn’t going to shake my faith in 2,000 year old truth.
This past year I left the protestant church my parents go to, and decided to go to the Catholic Church. Right now having catechesis and getting baptized during Easter. And let me tell you, have never felt more blessed on sundays and the growth of my faith only just started
Take a read of some of these testimonies, google "344 Martyrs" you can go to page 345/3 etc, 184 William Tyndale. you haven't stepped into the light you have surrendered to religion and religiosity. Jesus Christ has always been the way the truth and the life, mankind has always tried to offer an alternative to that truth.
@tjd8822 God bless you. Your story is inspiring. I’m a revert to Catholicism. What I love most is feeling the awesome presence of God in every Catholic church walk in to. Jesus is truly with us in the blessed Sacrament. I will pray for your safe and fruitful journey home this Easter.

It took me 68 years to realize how 'false' the episcopal church is and the baptist churches aren't any better.
Thankfully, my wife and I both woke up, and she being raised Catholic led us back to the Catholic Church. Thanks Be To God.
There isn't anything we can do about the goings on at the upper levels, but we are very much looking forward to being in full communion with the Church and receiving the Eucharist soon.
Welcome back
I would suggest dig deeper. I was Rome Catholic now Eastern Orthodox. I defended roman Catholicism brought my children up in Roman. And used many Quotes from the early church fathers to support what I believed to be the true faith. But I was challenged to look further to many questions which I won't go into detail on here now. But part of that digging let me go further on the quotes that I thought supported the roman church such as St Ambrose saying where Peter is there's the church.....but digging and reading more of his writings you see is not what it sounds like. I am not going to send it here unless you want to see it. But this is the case with many church fathers if we take the time to sit down and read. This isn't an attack on anyone but just sharing
@@OrthodoxStudy-wd5nk Thank you for that. My coming from the false episcopal church to the Catholic Church is a miracle in itself and have only recently been confirmed. My wife and I both feel 'brand new' and are very happy with the Catholic Church.
I do agree the Eastern Orthodox Church is another viable alternative to the many protestant churches out there. My older brother is a 'hard core' baptist and not open to anything that doesn't preach the 'rapture'. Poor thing.
We are happy where are right now.
Thank you and may God Bless You.
@@johns1834no problem just wanting to share with you a thought
@@mpkropf5062 Thank you for that. I was confirmed in February and both my wife and I are in 'full communion' with the Church now. We both feel 'brand new'. Thanks be to God.
I agree. We should go to mass, go to confession and pray the rosary. Continue to do God's work to the best of our ability. God will work all this out. In the meantime, keep the faith and yes, stay Catholic.
God Bless you my Catholic Brother, I have been returning to the faith since the beggining of the year and have taken up my cross for Chirst. My brothers and sisters, the dirt of sin can be washed away and underneath is wool as white as snow, you but need go all in with The Church. Mary brought me back through the Holy Rosary of our Lady, The Mother always seems to come for the sons. The answer is so simple, PRAY PRAY PRAY your Rosary!
I just want to say thank you so much for making this video. I feel like I'm not alone to keep my faith straight to the church no matter what.
I've been Catholic for just over a year and I LOVE the One True Faith.
If you focus on the Eucharist you will never want to leave the Church!!
I love my Catholic Church so much I will never leave my church. I will die catholic ❤
Growing up a novus ordo surrounded by hypocrites and lukewarms drove me away from the Church and into heathenism. I'll never go back after discovering the Latin Mass. Deo Gratias.
Our Catholic Church will survive this as history shows. So stay with The Catholic Church Brothers and Sisters, no matter what. God will work all of this out!
The RCC along with some of the protestants are attempting to meet the new world order on its terms by flying the rainbow flag. Have already signed their death warrant over any integrity they thought they had to guide the faithful.
The burning of the books will come next. The new translations of their Holy Books are being prepared for the next generation. They won't change much they will just remove the truth for a lie.
Read the document from 1401 De heretico comburendo you may find not much has changed controlling man's freedom to think freely has always been at the heart of manmade religion and religiosity. Our adversary has always been busy destroying the truth for the lie.
"The gates of hell will not prevail against it" - And that's that.
Roma locuta, causa finita.
Viva Cristo Rei!
This is exactly what I think about problems with the papacy. This is merely a temporary problem, and we’ve been through worse. I have no problem sitting by and waiting it out, as I am fairly confident that we’ll get a better one very soon
As a Catholic who has been getting disheartened by the Pope seemingly pushing Catholics away from Christ and sowing many divisions between the faithful, it’s important to remember to stay in the church and fight for what’s right. The church has been through much more difficult struggles before. This was a very powerful reminder for me. Thank you for making this video..
Exactly! The fragility of humanness doesn't contradict the word of God. He established the church through his son Jesus.
Overjoyed to be a new subscriber. I appreciate this channel so very much.
I came back 14 months ago and I'm so happy.
RCC are reaping what they have sowed. The Dogma prove it a different gospel. The rainbow flag will be flying over the Vatican as it is in many so-called protestant churches. Try reading some of this "344Martyes" google that and then 345 343 etc. This man claims the RCC is the only way is lying. Sound good but Paul warms us in 2 Corinthians 11
Welcome home
@@roddycavin4600 Welcome home to what?? these are not telephone numbers. These are real people and indisputable facts.
What is the truth is the question.RCC does not have it,
This is from Catholic sources 37% of Americans don't believe in the Real Presence. One-third of Catholics overall don't believe in the Real Presence.
This is what happened to some people who didn't believe in the Real Presence when the RCC had the power to control man's freedom to make his or her own choices. Even including those who did not agree with RCC Dogma that were not RCC.
In 1521, Thomas Bernard was burnt alive at Norwich, for denying the real presence.
In 1532, Thomas Harding, who with his wife, had been accused of heresy, was brought before the bishop of Lincoln, and condemned for denying the real presence in the sacrament. He was then chained to a stake, erected for the purpose, at Chesham in the Pell, near Botely; and when they had set fire to the fagots, one of the spectators dashed out his brains with a billet. The priests told the people, that whoever brought fagots to burn heretics would have an indulgence to commit sins for forty days.
This year one Kirby was burned in Ipswich, for the testimony of the truth, for denying the real presence in the sacrament. When this martyr was brought to the stake, he said to one Mr. Wingfield, who attended him, "Ah! Mr. Wingfield, be at my death, and you shall say, there standeth a Christian sufferer in the fire." The proof text for these people is 1 Corinthians 11:26
The Real Presence is not mentioned in a lot of the testimonies but it is one of the main reasons for the bonfires. Not going to church, reading William Tyndale's New Testament and anything else that questions the Dogma of the RCC.
If you need more names I can find them for you. Now the RCC does not have the power through their ecclesiastical court working hand in hand with the state to shove people onto bonfires to control men's freedom to think freely and not agree with their Dogma. I wonder what RCC would do with those who don't agree today if they had that power again???

Thank you for your love for Mother Church. Never will I leave!... being a convert for some 35 years, there was a reason why God called me to His only true Church and I love how we truly worship Jesus Christ in the Holy Catholic snd Apostolic Church. We follow the Holy Trinity, we have Mary, our Mother and the saints! How very rich we are. We give glory to God the Father, Jesus Christ His Son and Holy Spirit. May God have mercy and take pity on His True Church.
Blessings🕯🌲⚘
If I were Catholic, I wouldn't even think about leaving the Church!
You are welcome to be Catholic!
it's actually really nice to hear this viewpoint. there are so many lay people with RUclips accounts that boarder on schismatic because they're calling into question the entire validity of the church while maintaining the label of catholic
I’m so at peace now for clarification and guidance that you offer.
I’m a new subscriber now.
Thank you !
This is precisely the correct response to the troubles in our church. In my humble opinion. I’ve thought for years people who point to bad bishops or a bad pope, etc. etc. as excuses to leave - These are people who are just rejecting religion in general. Just like all the rest, who are denying the authority of the church that Jesus founded.
I love this channel ❤. God bless you
I'm not planning on leaving the Church. A small group of us had a discussion on this very topic about a month ago and I said then that it took me a long time to find my way home and no matter what this Pope does or doesn't do I'm never leaving again. But that doesn't mean he gets a free pass or that I will stay with my parish no matter what. If our Pastor said this Sunday that our parish would begin blessing same sex unions or maybe even go so far as to desecrate holy ground by performing an abomination such as a ceremony legitimizing a sinful act along those lines I would leave and never return. If I had to drive 50 miles to find a true Church I would. We'll see how it all shakes out. I prayed for the Pope last night, but in order to be 100% truthful, I would prefer another Pope take his place. His ambiguous statements and habit of punishing good Bishops while letting heretics rise to prominent positions bothers me quite a bit. I say that because I will not lie, not on this matter.
Why would anyone leave Jesus in the Eucharist. I’m a convert since 2018 and I won’t ever leave Jesus.
Everyone needs to unite around the sacraments and pray the Rosary daily. This battle against the church is against the devil. Stay united to the church and pray.
This coming from someone isn't Catholic yet. Protestantism virus is in the church. Fight against it in prayer
Well said. I pray the Rosary just about every day, and the pope is part of my intentions.
I reverted years ago but I will stay for life.
I really needed this video. I pray daily for persevere in the faith. What happened to your video on catholic converts? Unfortunately, many cradle Catholics like to criticize converts to the faith.
Ignore them. As a cradle catholic, Ive been hugely blessed by the fruit of many converts' difficult journeys 🙏💝
I like to remember Cardinal Newman. He himself was a convert, and is most highly regard by those attached to the traditions of the faith and the TLM. I am a cradle Catholic who is devoted to the TLM and one that the current Pope would dislike. Stay close to the sacraments. If you converts think it was going to be easy, you will now walk Calvary along with us life long Catholics.
I'm a cradle Catholic myself, and I do agree with that unfortunately that does happen that cradles are critical on converts, but also vice versa. Plenty of converts are critical on cradle Catholics as well just because a convert can point to a dozen verses in 30 seconds. Sorry, but that's really doesn't impress anyone. Just the same as my mail man can name off a dozen addresses in my neighborhood and I can't. But I know the context of my neighborhood, the mailman does not. That's how Catholics know the Bible, maybe can't name off a dozen passages, but us cradles definitely know the content in Scripture.
That convert video really just critized us cradles. A couple months back there was a video on how the Bible came together, and this lazy cradle Catholic had to correct that there was no council of Jamnia. And while the person that runs this channel named guy's such as Scott Hahn and Tim Staples, two brilliant converts. He failed to mention how Scott Hahn had to turn to a Monsignor that was a cradle Catholic to help Hahn understand the true meaning of confession. And how in Tim Staples conversion story, his marine buddy Matt Doolin who was a cradle Catholic, was the man who planted the seed in Tim Staples conversion. I myself am a cradle Catholic and have been a confirmation teacher for over 18 years. I enjoy this channel very much. I have done primarily my own studies, I've met both Hahn and Staples in person at Catholic Conferences. Along with cradle Catholics Jesse Romero, Dr Brant Pitre and also Dr Michael Barber and Patrick Madrid just to name a few. I have 8 converts this year in my adult RCIA class alone. All in all this is one of the best channels out there representing the Catholic Church, I pray that we can all come together.
@harleymann2086 thank you!
Thank you, friend. Needed this. What a mess and the enemies I have made.
I am afraid of what Pope Francis is doing to conservatives. But I WILL NOT stop being Catholic, no matter what!
I can't leave there is no where else to go.
I am a cradle Catholic. Oh yes, I will stay Catholic, but it's getting to the point I may have to go underground to practice my faith. I am a Catholic devoted to the TLM. Right now I have been blessed with access to the TLM not only on week ends, but during the week as well. We are blessed with bishops who are willing to turn the other cheek when TLM are celebrated within their diocese. Please don't demonize all bishops. So many have to walk a tight rope to make it seem like they are complying with the Pope and at the same time, let those who are very devoted to the TLM to continue without being pointed out.
Thank you for this video.
Im trying to decide whether i should stay protestant or be orthodox. But catholic tradition keeps coming back
Powerful article! Thank you . Been thinking of SSPX but it would not be home although I agree w most of what they expound.
Just realize SSPX is not in full communion with the Catholic Church. If it is because of the Latin Mass the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter offers the Latin Mass and is in complete communion with the Catholic Church.
Loved this video God bless you brother.
I really enjoy your videos, keep up the good work!❤
Great post! I would no sooner leave the Catholic church because of Francis than I would cease to be an American because of BIden.
Yes we must stay catholic whatever happen in the church because Jesus himself build the church and he promise that the power of death shall not prevail against it because Jesus is always with us in the holy sacrament if we have faith in him. Jesus I trust in you have mercy on us and on the whole world.
I was born and raised as a catholic...and have nowhere else to go because there is only one God and I don't see ,yself adoring dolls and what not's.I picture myself as a stable person with conservative views and I like it that way no change,I feel secure with what I have and I'm not looking for anything else.So God is the only one in my life!
The reason the Catholic Church is attacked is because She belongs to Christ. It's not for us to abandon the faith but to defend it. I believe Christ will set things straight. Viva Christo Rey
Let’s Go!
Thank you for your video, god bless 🙏
I wasn't raised Catholic,I was born one. ❤
Yes, I was also raised Catholic, but I was in my mother's womb while she went to Church. So I guess I am also born Catholic. 💌
Very encouraging video. Thank you 👊
You do a great job. Love Jesus, so grateful for the grace to remain Catholic.
Great name for this channel !
Thanks 🙏 may God bless you
Wow…. I heard a few things that made me think…. Even as a catechist. Succinct presentation.
Tell this to the young people of the world who refuse to darken the doors of a Catholic Church once they leave the family nest!
Fear is the friend of the Catholic Church and what keeps Catholics running to their pews on Sunday!
Young people are not fearful and smart: a powerful combination.
Can I request a video on the 9 levels of prayer? You do a good job of breaking things down.
To be a Catholic you must be with union with at least one Catholic bishop. Catholic bishop is a bishop that have integral Catholic faith, valid bishop consecration and jurisdiction and mission from the Pope.
As Catholics we don’t worship anybody except the living God. Leadership or not the roadmap had been set and no way we’re leaving our God. He will right the ship soon enough if there’s trouble.
Everyone says that there will be a Francesco-the-Second. The Old Mass will be SUPPRESSED FURTHER! I will attend the SSPX.

youre joking right. you can bow to all their graven images all you want, just leave the kids at home.

@@peterzinya1correct. Lucky for us our images aren't graven.
@@georgerafa5041 (;-D I dont envy you catholics. You cant deny yall carve wood and stone into images of male and female and get on your knees befor them. So the best you can do is say......our graven(carved,engrved) images arent graven images. They good things.
I mean, what are you going to do?
The first of "sign" Jesus' return is "A falling away from the Church", but the Church WILL endure
Can you make a video about what is and what constitutes a mortal sin?
Actually thats next
Grave matter
Full knowledge
Full consent
For example, an individual leaves the Catholic Church to attend a protestant one. That's grave matter. She knows that the Catholic Church teaches that outside the Church there is no salvation. She disagrees with it, but she is aware that is Church teaching. There is no extraordinary impediment to attending a Catholic Church.
That would be mortal sin.
@@imisschristendom5293please talk to thoughts and them being sin if you would please
@@carissstewart3211 Of course, but I was more referring to if during your examination of conscience, you just cannot remember or something like that.
@@maddogproductions2916 If you carefully examem your conscience and can't remember any uncomfessed mortal sin, you probably don't have any unconfessed mortal sins.
I love your videos my friend
VIVA CRISTO REY Y LA IGLECIA CATOLICA VIVA
God bless.
Absolutely!! What goes on in the Vatican is God's business, not mine!!
Our jobs are to keep our souls clean through confession and pray& go to mass!!!
Other than that, it's God's business & doesn't affect my faith!!
In RCIA now. God bless.
I have said for several years now that many people are more faithful to their local football club than to the church. They will abandon their faith for virtually any reason, but they will stay loyal to the local sports team even if the players, owners, and/or managers are straight-up criminals. It's just a dumb excuse: the real reason people leave Catholicism is because truth is difficult and most people prefer comforting lies.
Is grape juice not a valid sacrament/communion?
Can you make more vids on radical sedevacantism?
it doesn't matter, I still will go to Mass 👇😊👇😊
Amen !!
Do you think the return of Christendom and tradition will happen in our lifetime?
Amen.
The catholic church is the ship of Noah, the little crib of Moses, the boat of Peter, and the womb of Mary. IT CANNOT SINK!! EVEN IF WAVES WASH OVER IT. stay catholic, take advantage of the sacraments and sacramentals. God is in control
Father Hesse who was a canon lawyer has stated that despite the “validity” of the Novus Ordo, it is not licit!
You have mistaken the Novus Ordo with the Catholic Church.
The Novus order has made invalidating changes to 5 of the sacraments.
We do not worship the Pope. We worship GOD. We go to Mass for GOD not for the Pope, or for anyone.
This proves the Catholic Church even more
If you havent been convinced by now, you never will!
Never lose hope
Does anyone know the name of the soundtracks on this video, especially the last one?
Are there any teachings from the current hierarchy that I would cease to be Catholic by following?
Excellent video. Like St. Peter said, Lord to whom shall we go? Peter is right.
64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.
65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.
66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?
68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.
69 And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.
70 Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?
71 He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve.
verse 70 one of you is a devil? reading the History of the RCC looks like that devil is still running around.
@@whathappening5323You forgot a couple of very important verses many protestants always forget, John 6:53-54, So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; 54 he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.”
Instead of having no life in you I invite you to walk into a Catholic Church and feel the real presence of Jesus there. Then fall down on your knees and repent for being an antiCatholic bigot.
This is a good summary, and if I may say so, the same arguments I have among the real Catholics. But you have better pictures 🙂 I must say that initially, I was a bit cautious. After listening to this podcast, I'd say it's a good summary of the situation today. Bergoglio will be used by protestants as Exhibit A why the papacy is useless or fallible, because of his heresies. Protestants won't know about the sacking of Bsp Strickland or who Fernandez is, or unilateral change to Catechism - these are too much details. But they sure can point to Pachamama. If there's one thing that can unite all 30,000 protestants sects, it's idols. And Bergoglio has given them jet fuel by the oil tanker loads. We'll be hearing about it for generations of John MacArthurs (he who "calls out" everybody except himself).
Weird time for me to be torn between Orthodoxy and Catholicism. (Convert to Christ from atheism)
Remain with the Catholic Church.
Our Lord could have appointed the beloved disciple, St John, who alone among the Apostles remained while the other fled, to feed His sheep. Instead, Our Lord entrusted the care of His flock to St Peter, the very Apostle who denied the Lord three times. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. That weak man, Peter, is the Rock on whom the Church was built and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.
@@carissstewart3211 Brother I have a question or 2. I know that Orthodoxy takes prelest very seriously. Does Catholicism take prelest seriously? I don't mind filioque (to a degree) but the lack of talk about avoiding prelest worries me. Also I like alot of Eastern Saints is this ok?
@@AnonymousMan115 "prelest" is not a term we use in the West, but spiritual pride and vainglory are considered serious sins. We might call that pharisaism or self-righteousness. In the case of mysticism, there is a frequent warning against seeking extraordinary gifts and experiences. Those can be demonic in origin. Individuals who do experience such gifts must submit to the authority of their confessor or spiritual director.
I don't know which saints in particular you are referring to. There is no official list of all the saints. If you think there is good reason to believe that such and such a person is in heaven, especially if he is venerated by the Eastern Catholic rites, I don't necessarily see the harm in asking for his intercession.
@@carissstewart3211 That's a relief. I was worried. As for Saints. To my knowledge Gregory Palamas, Mark of Ephesus, Seraphim of Sarov, and others are Saints in the Eastern Catholic Rite. In terms of Orthodoxy Seraphim Rose, St. John Maxamovitch, and St Gabriel the Fool For Christ are dear to my heart. ☦️✝️

Heretics cannot exercise a legitimate office in the Church. According to Pius X, one is a Catholic if one is baptised, professes the Catholic faith and is subject to the legitimate pastors. And nowadays, unfortunately, this often only works outside the official structures.

I'm Roman Catholic but converting to Holy Orthodoxy - thanks be to God
Catechism #675 and 677 state that, before the second coming of Christ, the Church MUST follow Her Lord to Calvary, Death, and Resurrection for purification and renewal of the Church and world. The fulfillment of this Dogma is here, as we are now living through the prophesied events in 2 Thes 2:1-12 and the mystery of the iniquity (2 Thes 2:7) -- that's why we have had two popes (one True -- Benedict XVI; and the other false, as seen in the vision of Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich and prophesied by St. Francis of Assisi, non-canonically elected and destroyer), and great apostasy (2 Thes 2:3) in the Church. God never allows anything to happen before revealing them through his prophets (Amos 3:7) so that His faithful ones may be prepared for the events.
With the passing of Benedict XVI (on 12/31/2022), the restrainer, Katechon, has been removed and, therefore, the antichrist will soon appear in public (2 Thes 2:7-8), who will be the head of the 1 world religion, followed by schism after the denial of real presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist by a false pope, banning of the daily Sacrifice of the Mass (Daniel 12:11), abomination of desolation (Matt 24:15), and fiercest persecutions of the Church (Rev 12:17, 13:10) for 3.5 years (Daniel 12:11-12, Rev 12:14). But God will protect His Church as promised in Matt 16:18, "the gates of Hell shall not prevail against Her" and His faithful remnants (Ps 91). All prophecies of the end times will be fulfilled as written in our generation.
After the Schism, the Church will elect the last pope in St. Malachy's prophecy, 'Peter, the Roman', who will lead the Church through the Antichrist's persecutions, during which the Church will go underground, like the early Church during the Roman persecutions.
We are the generation specially chosen by God, from the beginning of the creation, to follow in the footsteps of Our Lord to Calvary, Immolation, and Resurrection, for the Praise and Glory of His Name. Let us, therefore, be prepared spiritually for the coming events by praying to God for the graces we need, so that we may fulfill whatever tasks given to us in a perfect manner for His Glory. Let us not fear, but face the coming events in Peace, for He will never leave, nor forsake His faithful, and His grace will be sufficient for us to fulfill the task perfectly (2 Cor 12:9) and remain faithful to the end (Rev 2:10). Amen!
@harleymann2086 After the Schism, I believe the Orthodox churches will join back to the Catholic Church.
@harleymann2086 Please read the following Blessed Mother's message. Since the Orthodox churches still maintain the true teachings, they will join the true Catholic Church after a false church is established by the Antichrist.
Excerpts from Blessed Mother's Message No. 407 to Father Gobbi, Marian Movement of Priests (on 666 and the 3rd manifestation of Satan in human history): "In this period of time around year 3x666=1998, Freemasonry, assisted by its ecclesiastical form, will succeed in its great design: that of setting up an idol to put in the place of Christ and His Church. A false christ and a false church. Consequently, the statue built in honor of the first beast, to be adored by all the inhabitants of the earth and which will seal with its mark all those who want to buy or sell, is that of the Antichrist. You have thus arrived at the peak of the purification, the great tribulation, and the apostasy. The apostasy will be, as of then, generalized because almost all will follow the false christ and the false church. Then the door will open for the appearance of the man or the very person of the Antichrist.
I have wanted to enlighten you concerning the pages of the Apocalypse to prepare you with Me for the most painful and decisive part of the great struggle fought out between your Heavenly Mother and all the forces of evil which have been let loose. Take courage! Be strong, My little children. To you befalls the duty, in these difficult years, of remaining faithful to Christ and His Church, putting up with hostility, struggle, and persecution. But you are a precious part of the little flock, which has the task of fighting against and, in the end, conquering the powerful force of the Antichrist. I am forming you all, defending you, and blessing you!"
Fulfillment of the above prophecy of the Blessed Mother is here. Let us be ready and do our Duty to remain faithful to Christ and His One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic Church until the end. Let us not fear, but face the coming events in Peace, for He will never leave, nor forsake His faithful, and His grace will be sufficient for us to fulfill the task perfectly, whatever it may be (2 Cor 12:9), and remain faithful to the end (Rev 2:10). Amen!
@@hyeminkwun9523Why didn’t you join an Eastern Catholic Church? To fall into schism with the hope the Eastern Orthodox with come back to Papal authority before you die makes no sense and quite possibly exposes your soul to jeopardy.
@@drjanitor3747 Nobody is an apostate here.
Amen
Will the orthodox be saved ?
There are those inside the law that will be judged so . There are those outside the law who will be judged so . As St Paul said about those who are not Christians but act as they were . There are those who are Catholic but will be left in the outer darkness because of their lives . Then the non Catholic who lives a life full of love of God and neighbour who will enter eternal life . There is no one out of reach of the Catholic church as she alone has the mass . The saving sacrifice that all grace is poured out to all other churches religions and people .
Of course stay Catholic!
Of course! Ciempre con todo!
I have been hurt so bad whats been done to me
Praying for you
Don’t let that push you away from the Eucharist.
Napoleon brought back Catholic influence into France after the revolution and reverted at his death.
Besides, where else would be go? There is no other place.
