Quote of the Day
"The Holy Roman Church firmly believes, professes, and preaches that all  those who are outside the Catholic Church -- not only pagans but also Jews or  heretics and schismatics -- cannot share in eternal luife, and will go into the everlasting fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels, unless they are joined to the Church before the end of their lives; [the Holy Roman Church  firmly believes, professes, and preaches] that the unity of this ecclesiastical  body is of such importance that only those who abide in it do the Church's  sacraments contribute to salvation and do fasts, almsgivings and other works of  piety and practices of the Christian militia productive of eternal rewards; and  [the Holy Roman Church firmly believes, professes, and preaches] that  nobody can be saved, no matter how much he has given away in alms and even if he  has shed blood in the name of Christ, unless he has persevered in the bosom and  unity of the Catholic Church."
 
(Ex cathedra solemn definition of Pope Eugene IV, Council of  Florence (17th Ecumenical Council), Bull "Cantate Domino," 1441; Denzinger 714)

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.

Parts 4 & 5 of "Plot Against the Church" FREE through Feb 7! (A $110 value!)

Dear Friends:

We've made many generous special offers to our customers from time to time. But this letter extends to you -- for an extremely limited time -- an offer of unprecedented value.

You can get sixteen different hard-hitting, conspiracy-exposing, highly controversial CDs, which would normally sell for $100 plus shipping and handling, for FREE -- and I will even pay all the postage and handling costs -- provided you act by midnight Tuesday, February 7!

Two things prompt me to make this offer now. First, a week ago someone sent me a very complimentary e-mail about our ongoing CD series entitled "The Plot Against the Church: A Unique Historical Survey of Spiritual Subversion." Nearly a year earlier he had sent an email which read, in part:

"I recently purchased your complete CD audio set, 'The Plot Against The Church.' I loved every minute of it. You did a wonderful job explaining the history of the plot against the Church. I can't wait until the next installment."

Gerry Replies

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.

"Hurray for Gerry Matatics! I am excited about his coming to the truth about the traditional Catholic Church. [Having studied his analysis of the root cause of the current apostasy,] I am convinced that that is what has happened. And Gerry is right on target. He is to be commended for his bold stance in the face of error. My husband and I recently moved to East Texas to be involved and closer to the traditional Church. We would gladly support Gerry because we need more Catholics like him. I too am a convert from Protestantism and want to be very strong in defending the true Church. I would love to hear Gerry speak down here."

D. V., East Texas

LaSalette

Statue of Our Lady of La Salette, at the site of her (Church- approved) apparition on September 19, 1846, in the French Alps. On that occasion the Blessed Virgin announced, weeping, that "in the last days, Rome will lose the Faith and become the seat of the Antichrist... the Church will be in eclipse." Our apostolate is dedicated to Our Lady of La Salette and to spreading her much-opposed message.
