The following 3-minute video tells us about a great Kentuckian who once pastored St. Peter’s Church in Lexington, which I was married in. He was the Bishop of Louisville, Kentucky and later became the Archbishop of Baltimore and leader of the Catholic Church in America. He also attended the First Vatican Council.

“Rome will lose the faith and become the seat of the Antichrist” is an infamous quote from Melanie Calvat, seer of the Apparition of La Salette used by traditional Catholics in an attempt to prove that an apparition supports the resistance movement against the Vatican 2 popes.
The 1846 apparition of La Salette was endorsed by St. John Vianney and Pope Pius IX. It was later endorsed by Pope’s Leo XIII, St. Pius X, Pius XI, and Pius XII. The original secrets from the apparition were recorded by church officials in 1847 and submitted by the children directly to Pope Pius IX in 1851, the year the apparition was approved by the Church.
After joining a convent in 1851, Melanie became disturbed, and her behavior became progressively worse. When surrounded in public, she began making up strange stories about her childhood, such as playing with the Christ child and leading wolves, foxes, and snakes in procession through the woods chanting praises to God, with the wolf carrying the cross. However, it was well-known that she had been completely irreligious as a child and woods didn’t exist where she lived. She became hysterical and had fits when people refused to believe her. For instance, she refused to eat for a couple of days and once tried to bite the Reverend Mother.
She was never allowed to take her vows and become a sister.
When she was sent to England in 1855, she claimed to hear voices, witness miraculous events, and began to make apocalyptic prophecies. Her bishop forbade to make prophecies, but she considered herself over his authority.
When told that she didn’t have a vocation, she reacted by attacking the convents. She was later sent back to France and broke promises with the authorities. She was finally sent to Italy for the next 17 years. There she spent time reading apocalyptic books and the lives of the illuminati.
In 1878, new religious orders were being established in La Salette. Melanie claimed she was authorized by God to provide their rules and habits, but her bishop rejected her. She appealed to Pope Leo XIII who in an interview with Melanie also denied her.
At this point, she wrote her new version of the La Salette secret in 1879, which contained the infamous quote about Rome becoming the seat of Antichrist. This tract was approved by a bishop and was circulated under the title of Apparition of the Blessed Virgin on the Mountain of La Salette. However, in 1880 the Holy Office forbade her to write further tracts. After 3 printings, Rome finally placed the tract on the Index of Prohibited Books in 1923. [1] Her new version of the secret of La Salette was forbidden.
In 1903, Pope St. Pius X implied that the universe and not Rome will be the seat of Antichrist. [2]
Case closed.

[2] Pope St. Pius X’s pivotal teaching in E Supremi, (On the Restoration of All Things in Christ), Oct. 4, 1903:
5. When all this is considered there is good reason to fear lest this great perversity may be as it were a foretaste, and perhaps the beginning of those evils which are reserved for the last days; and that there may be already in the world the “Son of Perdition” of whom the Apostle speaks (II. Thess. ii., 3). Such, in truth, is the audacity and the wrath employed everywhere in persecuting religion, in combating the dogmas of the faith, in brazen effort to uproot and destroy all relations between man and the Divinity! While, on the other hand, and this according to the same apostle is the distinguishing mark of Antichrist, man has with infinite temerity put himself in the place of God, raising himself above all that is called God; in such wise that although he cannot utterly extinguish in himself all knowledge of God, he has contemned God’s majesty and, as it were, made of the universe a temple wherein he himself is to be adored. “He sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself as if he were God” (II. Thess. Ii., 2).

St. Paul told the Ephesians, “the days are evil.” The days are still evil as is evident by the wickedness found in the world all around us. Today’s reading comes from the same chapter in Ephesians, where St. Paul tells us how to behave in these evil days:
“Be ye therefore followers of God, as most dear children; And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath delivered himself for us, an oblation and a sacrifice to God for an odour of sweetness. But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not so much as be named among you, as becometh saints: Or obscenity, or foolish talking, or scurrility, which is to no purpose; but rather giving of thanks. For know you this and understand, that no fornicator, or unclean, or covetous person (which is a serving of idols), hath inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no man deceive you with vain words. For because of these things cometh the anger of God upon the children of unbelief. Be ye not therefore partakers with them. For you were heretofore darkness, but now light in the Lord. Walk then as children of the light. For the fruit of the light is in all goodness, and justice, and truth.” (Eph. 5:1-9)
The Sunday reading ended here, but St. Paul continued…

The following list of defects of the Vatican 2 religion is in no particular order. These are just the first 40 which came to mind.
1. We begin with the 4 marks of the Church, which the Vatican 2 religion has none. It even denies having them as the Catholic Church has defined them as seen in Missing the Marks: The Church of Vatican 2.
2. Not only is the Vatican 2 church a formally divided religion, but it’s The Believe-Whatever-You-Want Religion of Bergoglio. Just about anything and everything is permissible for belief to be part of the religion.
3. It has heretical and unholy doctrines and practices, which only false religions have.
4. Claims that false religions make up the Church of Christ. In the Balamand statement and in numerous letters and addresses from the Vatican 2 popes, the Eastern Orthodox are considered and called part of the Church of Christ. We see the same with some Protestant religions, such as the Lutherans.
5. It officially teaches that the death penalty is intrinsically evil. As we see in ‘Pope’ Francis’ Heresy on the Death Penalty. It claims this position was not intrinsically evil in the past, which proves the religion is a modernist religion where truth changes over time.
6. It officially approved altar girls. Altar Girls are Impossible for the True Catholic Church and in Altar Girls Revisited to Prove Again Sedevacantism I quickly prove that point again.
7. In 1970, women lectors were approved despite Scripture’s teaching, “Let women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted them to speak, but to be subject, as also the law saith” (I Cor. 14:34). The evil fruit of feminism has taken over the world, because the Vatican 2 religion has incorporated it and doesn’t condemn it. You don’t even find laymen condemning the feminism in their church and world. They ALL go along with it.
8. Not only are women permitted to hold public offices, but “Pope” Francis actually appoints them for leadership positions in the Vatican.
9. Head coverings are missing from women in church despite the fact that St. Paul specifically says they should be covered in chapter 11 of First Corinthians.
10. Not only are head covering not required, but clothes aren’t either as seen with a few of “Pope St.” John Paul II’s masses. Apparently, women may go topless, too.
11. Lay men and women are permitted to serve as “Eucharistic Ministers” in mass.
12. There’s widespread effeminacy especially with bishops and priests. All of the Vatican 2 popes, except John Paul II, were effeminate. This is all part of the feminist culture.
13. In Vatican 2, which is supposed to be an ecumenical council, we have intended ambiguity leaving open heretical interpretations. The hierarchy have taken advantage of these ambiguities and the goal is realized.
14. We have a papal denial of Christ’s literal descent into hell as seen in A Forgotten Heresy of ‘Pope St.’ John Paul II
15. There’s false ecumenism such as the THE DIABOLICAL ASSISI EVENTS. There’s also participation in false worship led by popes who’ve participated in Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Islam, and Lutheranism. This is encouraging false worship and mixing with false worship. All in all, it’s fundamentally the ideals of Freemasonry.
16. The New mass is more like Martin Luther’s and Archbishop Cranmer’s services. This is clearly seen in the Institution Narrative, which was invented by these Protestants.
17. Liturgical abuses such as clown masses, puppet masses, quasi-masses with women running the show are not stopped, punished, or even condemned by the Vatican 2 popes.
18. Communion is permitted to non-Catholics by law.
19. Holy Orders are doubtful as seen in Why Catholics Can’t Accept the New Rite of Holy Orders for Priests and Bishops
20. Extreme Unction is invalid as seen in Extreme Unction VS Vatican 2’s Anointing of the Sick.
21. Marriage has a 6-month prep with classes, but then annulments are handed out like candy.
22. Religious liberty is recognized as a divine right because of the dignity of the human person.
23. Vatican 2’s teaching on religious liberty abolished the Catholic state. The implication is that the Vatican 2 religion is against the existence of the Catholic state.
24. Has taught that the Old Covenant was not revoked and the conversion of Jews is not necessary.
25. Vatican 2 popes are perverted with washing women’s and tranny’s feet during Lent, appointing and supporting LGBTQ bishops/priests/ideology, and transgenderism. Rainbow flags are already flown in the churches.
26. “Pope” Francis officially declared that God permissively willed the sex of man. The implication is that transgenderism is permissible.
27. Every Vatican 2 pope is canonized. These canonizations are beyond ridiculous.
28. It permits its members who hold high ranking positions such as the US President to openly profess heresy, abortion on demand, homosexuality, transgenderism, Marxism, and Communism. “Pope” Francis praises Biden and Pelosi.
29. The Vatican 2 religion has a very lax system with only 2 days fasting all year, no ember days, no Lenten fast, and does not encourage or enforce the Friday abstinence. Even at mass, dressing up is rarely practiced as men and women wear jeans, tees, and other casual wear. Churches are used for entertainment and art exhibits (sometimes pornographic.) Most nuns no longer where their habits. There’s widespread laziness among clerics getting the sacraments to the people.
30. Although popes can be bad, they must be Catholic unlike “Pope” Francis who openly denies Mary’s perfection, openly denies John the Baptist’s knowledge of Christ, and tells children that atheists go to heaven. He even condemns proselytism and calls it a grave sin and pagan. Both John XXIII and Paul VI appointed openly practicing Freemasons in offices. The religion is officially gay and masonic.
31. Vatican 2 denies that the Catholic Church is the only means of salvation.
32. Vatican 2 declared that Muslims worship the same God who will judge us on the last day, when objectively they don’t worship Jesus and it’s impossible to know who or what they worship subjectively.
33. Purgatory is almost forgotten because everybody is treated as going to heaven. Hell is reserved for the really, really bad people. The Fewness of the Saved – Most Christians Go to Hell is a rejected belief.
34. Non-Catholic and Public schools are praised and encouraged despite the true Papal Teaching on Non-Catholic and Public Schools.
35. Vatican 2 popes call into doubt saints and then removed them from the liturgical calendar.
36. Vatican 2 popes venerate arch-heretic Martin Luther. Now there’s a statue of him in the Vatican. Vatican postage stamps give Luther praise for his revolt. The Vatican even celebrates “Reformation Day.”
37. “Pope St.” John Paul II approved heretical Lutheran doctrine of Sola Fide with the approval of the joint declaration, which also implied that the Lutheran religion is part of the Church of Christ.
38. Altar rails are removed from beautiful historic Churches and replaced the high altars with tables.
39. New churches are built ugly as sin – devoid of all holiness – blasphemous architecture, crucifixes, and Stations of the Cross.
40. Most all the members of the Vatican 2 religion love the defects of their religion and hate the traditional teachings and practices of the Church. Vatican 2 apologists rationalize all of it away.
All in all, I absolutely detest the Vatican 2 religion and all of its evil fruit.
