Vatican II

The Crisis in the Church

"It is clear for most people today, that what most of them call “The Catholic Church” is as a matter of fact greatly divided and going through a crisis, in matters of faith, morals, and discipline. For many, this has become evident particularly during the rule of Jorge Mario Bergoglio. Scandals have arisen in the matters of morals, with the acceptance and push…

Letter from Fr. Pierre Roy

Sermon explaining Sedevacantism -- Fr. Dominic Radecki, CMRI

"The confusion among Catholics caused by Vatican II is based primarily on the fact that many people know that the teachings of the Second Vatican Council are heretical and the New Mass is invalid. Many of the faithful know that the Council formed a New Church, that is not the Catholic religion established by Jesus Christ and perpetuated by the Apostles and thei…

Sermon on Our Lady of Sorrows

[...] As the King of martyrs was nailed to the cross offering Himself as a sacrifice for our sins, so the Queen of martyrs stood at the foot of the c…

Burke and Schneider: False Hopes

Given how these "conservative" prelates continue to be in the news, it's worth revisiting this article from 2019 by Bishop Sanborn: "[Burke and Schneider] are trying to save the Vatican II religion and its heresy-promulgating hierarchy by diminishing the authority of the pope, and by suggesting that issuing “corrections” will suffice to ensure th…

God our Lord

God hath made all things for Himself- - Prov. 16:4 We are all of us jealous of what belongs to ourselves. We resent it if any one interferes with it, or deprives us of any portion of it. Yet no one owns anything by a title so absolute as that by which God is the Lord and owner of all creatures in the universe. My body and my soul are His; everything I possess is Hi…

Make Haste and Save Thyself - Mother Mary Loyola

"We all know the story of the destruction of wicked Sodom: how two Angels were sent to save Lot who lived there; and how eager they showed themselves on their charitable errand. "And the Angels pressed Lot, saying: Arise, save thy life; look not back, but save thyself in the mountains. ... And as he lingered, they took his hand, saying: Make haste and be sa…

Ch. 6 - The Imitation of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

For I, thy Well-beloved, am pure and stainless, I delight Myself among the lilies. How could there exist a union betwixt My Heart and thine, unless thou hadst carefully purified it? For who…

Ch. 5 - The Imitation of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

1. The voice of Jesus .-----My Child, all thy perfection consists in thy resemblance to My Divine Heart. For My Heart, which is the Heart of the Word of God, is the standard of all virtues, is holiness itself. Whoever, therefore, imitates my Heart, imitates God, his Saviour, perfection itself. Now, since My Heart is the model of sanctity and the source of every grac…

Ch. 2 - The Imitation of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

1. The voice of Jesus .-----My Child, thou art created for happiness. This experience affirms, this reason proves, this faith teaches. Thou seekest incessantly for happiness, and thou dost well. But leave off seeking thy happiness in things created; in them thou shalt not find it. No object of this world can satisfy the longings of thy heart; even shouldst thou alo…

Ch. 4 - The Imitation of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

1. The voice of Jesus .-----My Child, one thing above all others is necessary, to save thy soul. For if she is lost, all is lost; but if she is saved, all else is saved. Yet, thou shalt not attain thy eternal salvation, if thou do not imitate My Heart. For those whom God did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son. Which is this …
