When a foulness invades the whole Church .... we must return to the past.

St. Vincent of Lerins, THE HIDDEN TREASURE, TAN Books

As far back as 1861, Cardinal Manning saw clearly that the cessation of the Holy Mass was in the offing, having studied the Church Fathers on this subject from earliest times. This prescient Cardinal gave us these predictions, surely inspired by the grace of God:

"The Holy Fathers who have written upon the subject of Antichrist, and of the prophecies of Daniel, without a single exception, as far as I know - and they are the Fathers of both the East and the West, the Greek and the Latin Church - all of them unanimously - say that in the latter end of the world, during the reign of Antichrist, the Holy Sacrifice of the Altar will cease. In the work on the end of the the world, St. Hyppolytus, after a long description of the afflictions of the last days, we read as follows:

"The Churches shall lament with great lamentation, for there shall be offered no more oblation nor worship acceptable to God. The sacred buildings of the churches shall be as hovels; and the precious Body and Blood of Christ shall not be manifest in those days; the true Liturgy shall become extinct .... Such is the universal testimony of the Fathers of the early centuries."

CRISIS OF THE HOLY SEE, 1861

We've had enough of exhortations to be silent! Cry out with a hundred thousand tongues. I see the world is rotten because of silence!

St. Catherine of Siena

Pope Paul VI, when promulgating the New Mass, declared:

"The rite .... by itself is not a dogmatic definition .... ?

November 19, 1969

"The Novus Ordo is .... a striking departure from the Catholic theology of the Holy Mass."

- stated by Cardinals Ottaviani and Bacci of the Commission of upper clergy and theologians to Pope Paul VI regarding that version of the Novus Ordo, which was actually closer to being orthodox than the form used today.

The Church shall be punished because the majority of her members, high and low, will become perverted. The Church will sink deeper and deeper until She will at last seem to be extinguished and the succession of Peter and the other Apostles to have expired. But after this, She will be exalted."

St. Nicholas of Flue, Patron of Switzerland, 15th Century

"In the end my Immaculate Heart will triumph."

Our Lady of Fatima

St. Athanasius, to who it was objected:

"You have all the bishops against you,"

answered with the faith:

"That proves that they are all against the Church."

"Brethren, as custodians of God's Mystery, let yourselves be roused into action upon seeing all this despoiled by others."

St. Athanasius

"The Church will be eclipsed and the world will be in consternation."

"Rome will lose the faith and become the seat of Antichrist."

Our Lady of La Salette

A report from Catholic University of America in 1990 informs us that 50% of the clergy in the United States and Canada no longer believe in the Transubstantiation and the Real Presence.

Statistics reveal a great decline in conversions to Catholicism following the use of the New Mass. Conversions, which were up to 100,000 per year in the United States, have decreased to less than a 10th of this number.

The leading expert on Fatima, Fr. Joaquin Alonso, CMF, before his death concluded:

"The 1960 secret does not deal with catastrophes in the world but primarily with events which have occurred in the Church since the Second Vatican Council ....

"If 'in Portugal the dogmas of the faith will always be preserved ....' it can be deduced with all clarity that in other parts of the Church, these dogmas will be obscured or even lost. It is likely that the message not only speaks of a 'crisis of faith' in the Church .... but also, that it makes concrete references to internal strife among Catholics and to deficiencies of priests and religious. It is also possible that it may imply deficiencies even among the upper ranks of the hierarchy."

St. John Eudes, 17th Century Apostle of the two Hearts:

"The clearest sign of God's anger and the most horrible punishment He can inflict upon this world is manifested when He permits His people to fall into the hands of clergy who are clergyman more in name than in deed."

St. Anthony of Padua began his public reproofs of bishops with the words:

"And as for you there, in the Mitre ...."

WE ADHERE STRICTLY TO THE ENTIRE TRADITION AND DOCTRINE OF HOLY MOTHER CHURCH.
IF THE TEACHING OF THE CHURCH THROUGH THE FIRST 1900 YEARS WAS CORRECT, THEN
WE ARE CORRECT ALSO, FOR WE CHANGE NOTHING.

WE BELIEVE, AS ALL CATHOLICS ONCE BELIEVED.

IF THEY WERE RIGHT THEN, WE ARE RIGHT NOW;
IF THEY WERE CATHOLIC THEN,
THEN WE ARE CATHOLIC NOW.

"In the Catholic Church Herself every care must be taken that we may hold fast to that which has been believed everywhere,
always, and by all. For this is truly and properly Catholic."

St. Vincent of Lerins

 Whatever clearly favors heresy, cannot be matter for obedience. Obedience is at the service of Faith, and not Faith at the service of obedience!
In this foregoing case, then, "One must obey God before men."

Acts of the Apostles 5:29

"It is not my intention to prohibit the Tridentine Mass."

Pope Paul VI to Cardinal Heenan, November 19, 1969

"When the Mass is destroyed, the Papacy will topple."

Martin Luther
