We at Biblical Foundations International believe that we cannot possibly possess the spiritual discernment to adequately assess the crisis of our times unless we are obedient to the requests of Our Lady of Fatima, and of so many popes and doctors of the Church, to devoutly pray the Rosary -- at the very least, five mysteries of the Rosary daily, and all fifteen mysteries, if you can.

In addition to whatever other intentions you mention, please pray specifically that God will show you the truth regarding the full extent of the current apostasy, and that He will give you the grace to conform to that truth, whatever sacrifice is entailed.

Important News from Gerry Matatics

Dear Friends,

I have two new, exciting projects I am eager to launch during these final weeks of 2011, and several more planned for 2012. Some of these projects (e.g., some small books I've written on a few crucial topics, a 25-CD set constituting a complete college-level course on apologetics, etc.) are ones I've mentioned before, while some of them are new.

One of these projects is SCRIPTORIUM, an online Scripture school in which you can study through the entire Bible -- from Genesis 1 right through to Apocalypse chapter 22 -- one chapter at a time, at your own pace.

The new website will provide, for each chapter of the Bible, a video lecture by me, extensive commentary by the Fathers and Doctors of the Church as well as classic Catholic commentators of the past (such as Cornelius a Lapide), tips to help you remember an outline of that chapter and its key events and/or teachings, as well as practical help in memorizing crucial Scripture verses. The website will also provide special access to me enabling you to email me your questions on that day's chapter and get them answered within a 24-hour turn-around time.

If this proves successful (and I believe the response to this will be enormously enthusiastic), I hope to then launch -- one at a time -- several similar online survey courses in Church history, philosophy, systematic theology, apologetics, moral theology, canon law, Catholic political & economic theory, Western Civilization (including a book-by-book survey of the "Great Books"), Latin, Greek, Hebrew, and others.

All these courses will ultimately comprise a full, online Catholic university which can confer an academic degree on those who wish to receive such.

Is Gerry Matatics a ''sedevacantist''?

Gerry Replies (slightly revised November 21, 2007):

I'm a Catholic, pure and simple (though hopefuly not too simple) -- and have been, ever since my conversion from Protestantism 21 years ago, by a miracle of God's grace. I love the Catholic Faith and wish only to profess it in all its purity and fullness. I love the Catholic Church and wish only and always to be a faithful member of Her, since She has repeatedly and solemnly defined as a dogma that there is no salvation outside of her.

Every Catholic -- however he or she might prefer to be positive in his presentation of the Faith -- must necessarily oppose and reject all those persons and things that are incompatible with Catholicism.

A Commentary on Rome's Lifting of the SSPX "Excommunications" of 1988

[Note from Gerry Matatics: I do not necessarily agree with every opinion of this guest writer (a friend of mine) -- I do not share, for example, his certitude on the validity of the SSPX bishops' consecration (expressed in his closing sentence), nor do I agree with him on other matters not touched upon in his essay -- but his essay essentially says what I've been saying when asked what I think of the recent  developments between Rome and the SSPX, and he has kindly granted permission for his essay to be reproduced here "as is." I shall have my own essay on the SSPX posted on my website later this month.]

Our Lady of Guadalupe (feast day December 12)

The Story

"And the land was polluted with blood," by idolaters who sacrificed their sons and daughters to devils (Psalm 105:38). Such was Mexico when Hernando Cortes arrived there in 1519. Some ten million native Nahuatl Indians formed a vast confederation of tribes at this time. These tribes were dominated by the powerful Aztecs who, for all their intelligence, industry, and valor, were equally barbaric, enslaved by an extravagant system of idolatry which placated its numerous gods with gruesome orgies of human sacrifice and cannibalism. For centuries torrents of blood literally flowed from the temple pyramids, with as many as 20,000 humans being sacrificed in one day.
