Letter #1 to Family & Friends
By Richard Joseph Michael Ibranyi
Dear Fallen-Away Catholic Family Members and Friends,
Although you may not think it, I do love you all. My first concern is for God’s glory and
the salvation of my own soul, and then the salvation of your souls. As I have said, I love
God above all else, even family. That is what all Catholics are called to do. ” He that
loveth father or mother more than me, is not worthy of me; and he that loveth son or
daughter more than me, is not worthy of me.” (Mt. 10:37) Our Lord tells us that
unbelieving family members are enemies to those who believe. “And a man's enemies
shall be they of his own household.” (Mt. 10:36) The believer is perceived as a persecutor
by the unjust, because he calls them to amend their lives. In reality the believer, the true
Catholic, is most just and merciful because he cares about the souls of the unjust and tries
to convert them so they do not go to hell when they die. It is the one who tells you
everything is good, continue as you are in unbelief, continue as you are in sins of
immorality and you can get to Heaven. That is a deadly lie that sends multitudes of souls
to hell, by allowing them to repose comfortably in sin. Just because you believe you are
good, on the right road, and saved does not mean you are good, on the right, and saved.
“There is a way that seemeth to a man right: and the ends thereof lead to death.” (Prv.
16:25) Just because your conscience tells you that you are saved means nothing. St. Paul
says, “I am not conscious to myself of anything. Yet am I not hereby justified.” (1Cor.
4:4) Our Lord tells us, “Go not after thy lusts, but turn away from thy own will.” (Eclcus.
18:30) The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
During this Christmas season I pray that Jesus Christ, through the Sorrowful and
Immaculate Heart of Mary, will grant you all the graces you need to learn the Catholic
faith and then repent, convert, and abjure. As I have said, and will prove again, the
Church you belong to is not the Catholic Church even though it calls itself Catholic. It
does not profess the full deposit of the Catholic faith, nor does it live by it. It teaches
apostasy by teaching Moslems and apostate Jews worship the true God. It also teaches
many heresies that have been infallibly condemned by past popes. It commits acts of
idolatry, blasphemy, and sacrilege (John Paul II kissing the Koran and praying with nonCatholics). Infallible truths (dogmas) of faith and morals do not change. “Jesus Christ,
yesterday, and today: and the same for ever. Be not led away with various and strange
doctrines.” (Heb. 13:8-9) Men can deny or ignore infallible truths (dogmas), but they
remain the same, while these men become confounded and fall into all sorts of evil.
This world is a constant warfare. It is a war between all the false religions and beliefs
against the one true religion, Catholicism. There is only one true religion and Church and
that is the Catholic religion and Church.
1
Pope Leo XIII, Testem Benevolentiae: “There is but one Church. One by unity of
doctrine as by unity of government. This is the Catholic Church.”
Pope Pius XI, Mortalium Animos: “The Catholic Church is alone in keeping the true
worship. This is the font of truth, this the house of faith, this the temple of God; if
any man enter not here, or if any man go forth from it, he is a stranger to the hope of
life and salvation.”
The Third Council of Constantinople, 381 AD: “It is not allowable for anyone to
produce another faith... whether from Hellenism or Judaism or indeed from any
heresy.”
The Catholic Church stands against and condemns all false religions and calls those who
practice them to conversion. At the battle of Lepanto Catholics where fighting Moslems
and defeated them by the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, who is terrible in
battle array. Catholics killed Moslems and Moslems killed Catholics. Who was right?
Which side do you take? The Catholics were right because it is God who determines what
is just and right, not men. (See: my “Strange Voices,” Book Four, Just Wars) If Catholics
at the time of the battle of Lepanto were not faithful then God would have let them lose
the war as a punishment for their lack of faith. A faithful Catholic must stand against the
whole world that is infected and seated in wickedness. “The whole world is seated in
wickedness. (1Jn. 5:19) The earth is infected by the inhabitants thereof: because they
have transgressed the laws, they have changed the ordinance, they have broken the
everlasting covenant.” (Isa. 24:5) If a faithful Catholic’s family members love the world
they will oppose the faithful Catholic and be an enemy to him. Because to love the world
is to be an enemy of God and the faithful Catholic serves and loves God above all else.
“Adulterers, know you not that the friendship of this world is the enemy of God?
Whosoever therefore will be a friend of this world becometh an enemy of God.” (Ja. 4:4)
The Catholic who condemns the evil in the world, evil nations and people, those in
unbelief and sins of immorality, will be perceived as hateful, and will be hated and
persecuted.
“You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake. (Mk. 13:13) If the world hate
you, know ye that it hath hated me before you. If you had been of the world, the
world would love its own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen
you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. Remember my word that I said
to you: The servant is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they
will also persecute you. If they have kept my word, they will keep yours also. (Jn.
15:18-20) All that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.” (2Tim.
3:12)
Judge everything in the light of the truth. Only the Catholic Church infallibly teaches the
truth in areas of faith and morals. These truths never change. If a pope denies an infallible
truth that was defined by a past pope he would become a heretic and lose his office in
order to protect the infallibility of the Church and the flock from falling into heresy. If a
candidate for the papacy were a heretic before his election his election would be null-andvoid. That is plain old common sense. I have presented you with more then enough
evidence to prove that apostate Antipope John Paul II has denied many infallible truths
(dogmas). The primary and worst one is his teaching that Moslems and apostate Jews
worship the true God. If you think they do then you have denied your baptismal vow.
2
Your baptismal vow states you believe in Jesus Christ, the Incarnation, and the Most
Holy Trinity.
Baptismal Vow Profession of the Catholic Faith
Q. N_______ Dost thou believe in God the Father Creator of Heaven and earth? A.
I do believe.
Q. Dost thou believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son our Lord, who was born and who
suffered? A. I do believe.
Q. Dost thou believe in the Holy Ghost, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion
of saints, the remission of sins, the resurrection of the body and life everlasting? A. I
do believe.
Q. N_______ wilt thou be baptized? A. I will
The Nicene Creed you recite on Sunday says,
Nicene Creed
“I believe in one God, the Father almighty… And in one Lord Jesus Christ the only
begotten Son of God… I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and giver of life.”
This is the ABC’s, the very basic and root of the Catholic faith. This is the root of faith
that all Catholics must believe in, with no excuses for ignorance. Do the Moslems and
apostate Jews believe in the same God you profess to believe in the above baptismal vow
and Nicene Creed? Moslems and apostate Jews do not believe in the divinity of Jesus
Christ, or the Incarnation, or the Most Holy Trinity. If you say they worship the same
God as Catholics you have denied Jesus Christ and the Most Holy Trinity; you have
denied you baptismal vow and the Nicene Creed that you recite on Sunday, and thus you
are an apostate. If you rightfully say Moslems and apostate Jews do not worship the true
God then you must reject and condemn the Vatican II Church you belong to its leader
John Paul II, who teach the Moslems and apostate Jews worship the one true God. If you
do not then you are an apostate by sins of omission. If you cannot see this truth then there
is no hope at all for your repentance and conversion. There is only one God and thus
there is only one Church, the Holy Catholic Church. Any Church that justifies or respects
other gods and religions is not the Church of the one true God. Read carefully the “Are
You Catholic?” brochure.
You are faced with a decision that you must make when you see the Church you belong
to, the Vatican II Church and its leader apostate, Antipope John Paul II, teach that
Moslems and Jews worship the true God. You will either believe the lie and remain in
damnation, or you will condemn and reject it, along with the Vatican II Church and John
Paul II who teach it. You cannot ignore it, because it is the duty of a Catholic to profess
the faith when it is being denied and condemn those who teach heresy and commit sins of
immorality. If you do not condemn it you sin by omission and are equally guilty of the
man you do not condemn. Even though you may not believe in this heresy, if you do not
condemn it and remove yourself from those who teach it you share in their sin.

Catechism Question: In how many ways may we either cause or share in the guilt
of another’s sin? Answer: We may either cause or share the guilt of another’s sin in
nine ways: 1. By counsel; 2. By command; 3. By consent; 4. By provocation; 5. By
praise or flattery; 6. By concealment; 7. By being a partner in the sin; 8. By silence;
9. By defending the ill done.
1917 Code of Canon Law: “1325.1 Obligation to Profess the Faith - The faithful are
bound to profess their faith openly whenever under the circumstances silence,
evasion, or their manner of acting would otherwise implicitly amount to a denial of
the faith, or would involve contempt of religion, an offense to God, or scandal to the
neighbor.”
IV Lateran Council: “We decree that those who give credence to the teachings of
heretics, as well as those who receive, defend, or patronize them, are
excommunicated.”
Romans 16:17-18: “Now I beseech you, brethren, to mark them who make
dissensions and offences contrary to the doctrine which you have learned and
avoid them. For they that are such serve not Christ our Lord but their own belly:
and by pleasing speeches and good words seduce the hearts of the innocent.”
You may say that your Church and John Paul II teach only this one heresy. They actually
teach many heresies (See: my “Quick Reference Manual”). But even if they did teach just
one heresy they cannot be Catholic. A Catholic becomes automatically excommunicated
and thus falls outside the Catholic Church if he denies just one dogma, if he believes in
just one heresy.
Pope Leo XIII, Satis Cognitum: “5. ...The Church has always “regarded as rebels
and expelled from the ranks of her children all who held beliefs on any point of
doctrine different from her own. …So the Christian is a Catholic as long as he lives
in the body: cut off from it he becomes a heretic - the life of the spirit follows not
the amputated member” (St. Augustine, Sermo cclxvii., n. 4)... 9. St. Augustine
notes that other heresies may spring up, to a single one of which, should any one
give his assent, he is by the very fact cut off from Catholic unity. “No one who
merely disbelieves in all (these heresies) can for that reason regard himself as a
Catholic or call himself one. For there may be or may arise some other heresies,
which are not set out in this work of ours, and, if any one holds to one single one of
these he is not a Catholic” (St. Augustine, De Haeresibus, n. 88)”1
The Council of Florence, 1441: “The Holy Roman Church condemns, disapproves,
anathematizes, and declares to be separated from the Body of Christ, which is the
Church, everyone who holds any contrary opinions.”
Contrary to what some say, I have not started a new Church rather the robber’s Vatican II
Council started a new Church when it revolted from the past infallible teachings the
Catholic Church. This is the great revolt (the great apostasy) St. Paul speaks of.
“Let no man deceive you by any means: for unless there come a revolt first, and the
man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition. Who opposeth and is lifted up above all
that is called God or that is worshipped, so that he sitteth in the temple of God,
shewing himself as if he were God. Remember you not that, when I was yet with
you, I told you these things?” (2Thess. 2:3-5)
1
Pope Leo XIII, Satis Cognitum, June 20, 1896.
4
Popes have verified that this revolt was in progress in their day.
Pope Pius X, E Supremi Apostolatus, 1903: "...For who can fail to see that society is
at the present time, more than in any past age, suffering from a terrible and deeprooted malady which, developing every day and eating into its inmost being, is
dragging it to destruction? You understand, Venerable Brethren, what this disease is
- apostasy from God... 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. 2:3)."
If you do not know the Catholic faith you will not recognize the great revolt that has
already occurred at the Second Vatican Council. Whether you recognize it or not does not
change the truth of the matter. Why do you not know the Catholic faith and thus do not
recognize heresy and idolatry? You do not know it because you do not truly care about it
in the least bit. If you did you would study it and see the truth of the matter. The root of
your indifference toward the Catholic faith is a lack of true, true deep love of God. You
love other things more than God and only pay Him lip service. “Well did Isaias prophesy
of you hypocrites, as it is written: This people honoureth me with their lips, but their
heart is far from me.” (Mk. 7:6) If you truly loved the one true God, the God of the
Catholic Church, you would obey Him, which means you would learn the Catholic faith,
profess it, and live by it. “Jesus answered and said to him: If any one love me, he will
keep my word. …He that loveth me not keepeth not my words.” (Jn. 14:23-24) To keep
His word you must know the Catholic faith that tells us what God’s word is. That is how
we know what we must believe and do in order to be saved. To just profess that you are
Catholic is not enough, you must prove you are Catholic in word and deed. “Love in
word nor in tongue, but in deed and in truth.”(1Jn. 3:18) Be ye doers of the word and not
hearers only.” (Ja. 1:22) You cannot even hope to be sanctified (be in a state of grace)
unless you first possess and profess the truth. “Sanctify them in truth. Thy word is truth.”
(Jn 16:16) The truth shall make you free.” (Jn. 8:32)
It is not my Church, the Holy Roman Catholic Church, but your Church, the Vatican II
Church (also known as the Conciliar Church), which prays with and justifies heretical
sects that the Catholic Church had already condemned, such as Lutherans, Anglicans, etc.
Your Church even prays with and blesses Moslems, apostate Jews, etc. Your Church
justifies and respects Islam and apostate Judaism. The Church you belong to says the
heretic, Martin Luther, is a great man and hero of humanity, and said the same of the
pagan Hindu, Gandhi. I do not pray with Lutherans, or call Martin Luther a hero of
humanity. No he was a condemned heretic and the Church he started, the Lutheran
Church, is a condemned heretical sect. It is a false religion. Your Church, the Vatican II
Church, does not teach that. The Church you belong to is not the Catholic Church. It does
not possess and profess the full deposit of the Catholic faith as infallibly handed down
from St. Peter, the first pope, through his successors (the popes). “I was under a necessity
to write unto you: to beseech you to contend earnestly for the faith once delivered to the
saints. (Jude 1:3) As for you, let that which you have heard from the beginning abide in
you. If that abide in you, which you have heard from the beginning, you also shall abide
in the Son and in the Father.” (1Jn. 2:24) St. Paul tells us that if anyone should come
along and teach another gospel, either himself who was a bishop, or even an angel from
5
Heaven—an angel is higher than a pope—let him be anathema. “But though we, or an
angel from heaven, preach a gospel to you besides that which we have preached to you,
let him be anathema.” (Gal. 1:8) The Church you belong to does not teach the faith that
has been delivered to the saints; it does not teach that same gospel as St. Peter and the
future popes taught; it does not abide by what the Catholic Church has infallibly taught
from Her birth; and it does not hold fast to the infallible traditions of the Catholic Church.
“Therefore, brethren, stand fast: and hold the traditions, which you have learned,
whether by word or by our epistle.” (2Thess. 2:14)
It is true that Catholics must love all men. And there is no greater love then the concern
for the eternal fate of souls. A Catholics primary duty is to praise, adore, worship, and
obey God and thus save his own soul, then to pray and sacrifice for their Catholic
brothers, and then for the conversion of non-Catholics so they can have a hope to be
saved. A Catholic must not respect or justify false religions, false gods, or any sin, even
though at times they must tolerate them. To love the sinner and hate sin is a true
statement. That means Catholics must hate all sin, false religions, and false gods, and for
the love of God and the poor lost sinners call them to repentance and conversion. There is
only one prejudice that is demanded and justified by God, and that is a Catholic’s
prejudice for the Catholic religion and hatred of all false religions, gods, and all sin.
Catholics must have this prejudice if they want a hope to be saved. God is a jealous God.
He is one God, and He will not have strange gods before Him. “I Am the Lord Thy God,
thou shalt not have strange gods before Me.” (Ex. 20:2-3)“Adore not any strange god.
The Lord his name is jealous, he is a jealous God.” (Ex. 34:14)
God created hell and its torments and punishes souls there eternally. God condemns most
souls to hell because of their rebellious evil will.
Those who do not believe shall be condemned. (Mk. 16:16) He that believeth not
the Son shall not see life: but the wrath of God abideth on him. (Jn. 3:36) Wide is
the gate, and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there are who
go in thereat. How narrow is the gate, and strait is the way that leadeth to life: and
few there are that find it! (Mt. 7:13-14) 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. (Eph. 5:5) Every tree therefore that
bringeth not forth good fruit shall be cut down and cast into fire. (Lk. 3:9) The Son
of man shall send his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all scandals,
and them that work iniquity. And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall
be weeping and gnashing of teeth. (Mt. 13: 41-42) Without are dogs and sorcerers
and unchaste and murderers and servers of idols and every one that loveth and
maketh a lie. (Apoc. 22:15) The fearful and unbelieving and the abominable and
murderers and whoremongers and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, they shall
have their portion in the pool burning with fire and brimstone. (Apoc. 21:8) And
whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the pool of fire.
(Apoc. 20:15) Depart from me, you cursed, into ever lasting fire, which was
prepared for the devil and his angels.” (Mt. 25:41)
Do you believe in this God? Yes, this is a trait of the gentle and merciful Jesus. He is also
a conquering King and Just Judge. “And I saw heaven opened: and behold a white horse.
And he that sat upon him was called faithful and true: and with justice doth he judge and
fight.” (Apoc. 19:11) Christ the King says, “As for those my enemies, who would not
6
have me reign over them, bring them hither and kill them before me.” (Lk. 19:27) Do you
know this God? If you do not then you are worshiping a false God. You better get to
know Him before you die or you will be damned to hell by Him. The gentle Jesus is
certainly gentle and merciful, but He is also just, to be feared, the giver of live and death,
and terrible to all those who obstinately oppose Him. Anyone who separates God’s
justice from His mercy, seeking to deny one or the other, does not know the true God,
and therefore does not worship the true God. They will either have a false concept of
mercy or justice. A just and merciful father does not let a very bad child who is disrupting
the home go unpunished. If the child does not listen and obey the just father, the father
will administer corporal punishment, or lock the bad child in his room, or kick him out of
the house. This act of justice by the father is also a great act of mercy toward the good
children by protecting them from the bad child. It would be unjust and unmerciful if the
father allowed the bad child to wreak havoc among the good children. Even pagan men
understand this natural principle. So also God casts obstinate evildoers into hell. He does
not let them in Heaven, or else Heaven would not be Heaven but Hell. This protects
God’s good children for all eternity. This principle God related to Moses when He made
His covenant with him; to disobey God is eternal death and to obey Him is eternal life.
“Consider that I have set before thee this day life and good, and on the other hand
death and evil: That thou mayst love the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways, and
keep his commandments and ceremonies and judgments, and bless thee… But if thy
heart be turned away, so that thou wilt not hear, and being deceived with error thou
adore strange gods, and serve them: I foretell thee this day that thou shalt perish… I
call heaven and earth to witness this day, that I have set before you life and death,
blessing and cursing. Choose therefore life, that both thou and thy seed may live.”
(Deut. 30:15-19) “Blessed are they who hear the word of God, and keep it.” (Lk.
11:28)
Be careful you do not call the true God that I have just taught you about a monster, or
psychotic, or a hateful God. If you do you will have cursed the true God and He will
curse you with evermore discord in your family and life, and worst of all, when you die
you will face Him as a judge whom you cursed on earth. And then he will avenge all your
unrepented crimes against Him. For vengeance is mine, saith the Lord.
“God will repay vengeance to the ungodly and to sinners, and keep them against the
day of vengeance.” (Eclcus. 12:4) “We know him that hath said: Vengeance
belongeth to me, and I will repay. And again: The Lord shall judge his people.”
(Heb. 10:30) “Seeing it is a just thing with God to repay tribulation to them that
trouble you: And to you who are troubled, rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be
revealed from heaven with the angels of his power: In a flame of fire, giving
vengeance to them who know not God and who obey not the gospel of our Lord
Jesus Christ.” (2 Thess. 1:6-8)
Yes, both those who know not the true God, as well as those who know Him but do not
obey Him will be damned to hell. What good is it to believe in the true God and disobey
Him? It would only merit you a deeper pit in hell. “Thou believest that there is one God.
Thou dost well: the devils also believe and tremble.” (Ja. 2:19) “God spared not the
angels that sinned, but delivered them, drawn down by infernal ropes to the lower hell,
unto torments, to be reserved unto judgment.” (2 Pt. 2:4)
7
God does love all men and wills for them to be saved (1Tim. 2:3-4), but He hates false
religions, false gods, and sin. Only when a soul enters hell does God then stop loving it.
They are then eternally abhorred by God and suffer eternal torment. There is no love in
hell, not even a vestige of it. In hell one of the torments is that all those there are full of
pure abject hatred; hatred of God; hatred of themselves; hatred of those who suffer with
them. This hatred alone burns them from within with a fire hotter than any on earth. Any
man who has hated with a passion on earth knows it is a burning pain in his bosom that
raises his blood pressure, burns in his head, at times driving him mad, and that is just a
little foretaste of the all consuming burning hatred in hell. In hell there are no names.
Names and personalities are meaningless. In hell the souls always remember what they
had on earth, although it seems as if just a meaningless dream, an illusion. They
remember the chance they had to enter Heaven that they rejected. The very things they
valued on earth more than God are now utterly despised by them and as nothing, because
they are forever more nothing and nonexistent to the damned. “What does it profit a man
to gain the whole world and suffer the lose of his soul.” (Mk. 8:36) The very instant a
soul falls into hell all the riches, honors, and pleasures it had upon earth are meaningless.
The just God whom they scorned while they lived, will be hated even more by them
when they are in hell. A torture is that while they hate God above all they must obey
Him. They are totally subdued by Him in His eternal prison house without the least hope
of breaking out—abandon hope all ye that enter here. Their condemned spirits kick
against the goad for all eternity and get nowhere, not so much as an inch. The more they
kick the more it hurts and their all-consuming hatred compels them to kick all the harder
and the pain is returned in equal measure. For kick as they will, all bow down before
God, in Heaven, on earth, and under the earth. “In the name of Jesus every knee should
bow, of those that are in heaven, on earth, and under the earth.” (Phil. 2:10)
We have all kicked against the goad, like horses and mules. “Do not become like the
horse and the mule, who have no understanding. With bit and bridle bind fast their jaws,
who come not near unto thee.” (Ps. 31:9) For the love of God and the sake of your soul,
let God tame and break your pride while you yet live before it is too late. Bow down
before Him now, the God of the Holy Catholic Church, while you yet live in fear, love,
and adoration. For it is the fear of God that is the beginning of wisdom and only then can
you truly love Him. “The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom.” (Eclcus. 1:16) “The
fear of God is the beginning of his love.” (Eclcus. 25:16) “His mercy is from generation
unto generations, to them that fear him.” (Lk. 1:50) This is the true God, whom almost
the whole world no longer knows. “Will not God revenge his elect who cry to him day
and night? And will he have patience in their regard? I say to you that he will quickly
revenge them. But yet the Son of man, when he cometh, shall he find, think you, faith on
earth?” (Lk. 18:7-8) Do you really know God? Do you really have faith? Do you know
His nature and dealings with men as I have briefly presented to you? It is easy to know
about God if you really love Him. Just read the Catholic Bible and Papal bulls and
encyclicals from the true popes before apostate Antipope John XXIII. God is merciful,
but men must respond to His mercy and obey Him in word and deed. God gives men only
so many chances, and many He gives them in the face of their many sins and rebellions,
and then, in His justice, He strikes them and damns them to everlasting hell fire. I see
some of you right now cursing this God I have just said will send you to hell if you do not
8
repent and convert. Well, Holy Scripture speaks of your fate. “Such as curse him shall
perish.” (Ps. 36:22)

PS: I will post this letter on my website and print it in a Journal, for the benefit of other
families. It would be a joy if other families repented and converted. But, it would be a
shame and very sad indeed if my only family did not.

Letter #2 to Family & Friends
By Richard Joseph Michael Ibranyi
Dear fallen-away Catholic family members and friends,
I am writing you this letter primarily for the Glory of God, the Most Holy Trinity, the
only true God, the God of the Holy Roman Catholic Church, and then for the love of your
soul, so that you may have a hope to be saved and enter Heaven.
The first duty of a Catholic is to save his own soul. In the past I have not been Catholic. I
have not believed in and practiced the Catholic faith. I was outside of the Catholic
Church due to my negligence. Since then I have prayed. studied, and learned Catholic
faith. I learned what I must believe and do in order to be Catholic, so as to have a hope to
save my soul. A Catholic must believe in all the infallible truths the past popes have
defined, and if he obstinately denies or doubts just one infallible truth he is no longer a
Catholic.
I have also realized that the Second Vatican Council was not a Catholic Council, even
though it pretended to be a Catholic Council. We have had false Councils in the past
history of the Church; the Council of Pisa was one. The Second Vatican Council was a
false Council because it taught many heresies that have already been infallibly
condemned by past popes. This means that all the men that actively took part in this
Council are not Catholic, they have been automatically excommunicated for publicly
teaching and defending heresy. One of the worst heresies that they teach is that the
Muslims worship God when the Muslims deny that the Most Holy Trinity is God, and
thus deny that Jesus Christ is God! Therefore, John XXIII, Paul VI, John Paul I were
non-Catholic antipopes, and John Paul II is a non-Catholic antipope. The Holy See is
presently vacant, meaning we have no pope and are awaiting the next pope, when God
sees fit that we should have one. The Holy See has been vacant before, many times, and
at times for almost four years. The Latin word that describes the condition of the Church
when there is no pope—in between papal elections—is sedevacante, meaning the Holy
9
See is vacant. All of this is proven in Catholic documents and books that I can make
available to you if you ask.
The point is that I am now a Catholic, truly Catholic, since I have abjured in writing, as
the Church requires, from the heresies, schisms, and apostasy of the Vatican II Church
with its manifestly heretical antipopes. I believe all the infallible truths that the past popes
have taught, and I must live and practice my Catholic faith by being obedient to all of the
Church’s teachings. That means I must also obey all the moral laws as taught by the
Catholic Church. This will affect the way I deal with family members and friends who
are not Catholic. Many of you may think you are Catholic, nevertheless, you are not
because you to not believe in, nor practice the full deposit of the Catholic faith. If you are
part of the Vatican II Church, with the non-Catholic Antipope John Paul II as its head,
then you are not Catholic. We call the Vatican II Church the Conciliar Church (the
Church of the Council), because the Second Vatican Council started this new Church
with its new teachings that contradict past infallible teachings of the Catholic Church.
Christ founded the Catholic Church. True Catholic Councils only teach and define what
Christ has already revealed. A Catholic Council can never invent a new Church or that
would mean the Catholic Church of the past that Christ created on Pentecost Sunday had
defected.
I will now list some key points about what a Catholic must believe and how I must
behave.
1) I cannot pray in communion with non-Catholics, unless they are in submission to my
Catholic prayers in which I or another Catholic is instructing them and asking God to
enlighten them with the truth unto their conversion.
2) I cannot passively attend the services of non-Catholics, because to do so would be a
scandal and give a false hope to those who attend these non-Catholic Churches.
Therefore, if you die as a non-Catholic, you are entitled to only a nonreligious burial;
otherwise, I cannot attend the funeral or wake given by your false religion, nor can I pray
for you as faithfully departed, because you will have died outside the Catholic Church,
which means eternal damnation in the fires of hell. However, I will pray and sacrifice
fervently for you while you live that you may convert before you die. I cannot attend
your baptisms, nor can I be a Godparent to your children because you and your children
are in a false religion. I cannot attend your marriages, or any service related to your false
religion. I cannot condone people living in fornication and that includes those who are
“married a second time” meaning they are not really married and are living in adultery. I
cannot visit the homes of those living in fornication, but I will talk with you if you are
willing to listen to what the Church teaches in regard to your sinful union.
3) I am obliged to teach and defend the Catholic faith whenever a situation arises in
which the Catholic faith is being denied or a false religion is being exalted and defended
in my presence. As a Catholic, my first duty to my neighbor is to love his soul above all
else, and that means I must concern myself with trying to help save his soul. There is no
salvation outside the Catholic Church, that is a key dogma of the Catholic Church, and
10
therefore all non-Catholics are on the broad road to hell, if they do not convert and enter
the Catholic Church before they die they will surely go down to the fires of hell. That
means that you are on the road to hell (Mt. 7:13-14). I do not say this with the least bit of
malice, but with great, great sadness and with a true love for you and your soul. I want
nothing more than that we should be together forever in Heaven, and this will not happen
if you are not Catholic and if you do not die in a state of grace. Our time on earth is
fleeting and passes in a moment. “In the morning man shall grow up like grass; in the
morning he shall flourish and pass away: in the evening he shall fall, grow dry, and
wither.” (Ps. 89:6) Men should be primarily concerned about where they are going to
spend their eternity; because once your soul is created it is eternal and never dies. Will
you spend your eternity in the bliss and joy of Heaven or the pain and agony of eternal
hell?
4) I cannot listen to rock-and-roll or rap music, or any sinful and profane music, or attend
profane dances. I cannot take drugs without a legitimate medical reason, nor get drunk.
Our Lord says, “Wine was created from the beginning to make men joyful, and not
drunk.” (Eclcus. 31:35) Drunkenness is a sin against the Fifth Commandment. I cannot
read bad books and magazines, nor watch bad movies and TV shows. I cannot stay in the
presence of anyone who uses bad language, unless I have no choice. If you want to know
what music and movies are acceptable, I can send you that information as the Catholic
Church teaches it.
5) I cannot condone, nor respect homosexuals because the natural law upon our heart and
the Catholic faith teaches us that homosexuality is an abomination to God and is a mortal
sin. “If any one lie with a man as with a woman, both have committed an abomination.”
(Lev. 20:13) I will certainly pray for their repentance and if they are ashamed of their sin
and keep it private there is more hope for these. But, if they publicly practice it and boast
of it, then this type we cannot even keep company with under any circumstances. I also
condemn anyone as a blasphemer who says God created a homosexual. God did not
create a homosexual. We read in St. Paul’s epistle to the Romans that the root cause of
homosexuality is a lack of faith and obedience to God.
“Wherefore, God gave them up to the desires of their heart, unto uncleanness: to
dishonour their own bodies among themselves. Who changed the truth of God into a
lie and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed
forever. Amen. For this cause, God delivered them up to shameful affections. For
their women have changed the natural use into that use which is against nature.
And, in like manner, the men also, leaving the natural use of the women, have
burned in their lusts, one towards another: men with men, working that which is
filthy and receiving in themselves the recompense which was due to their error. And
as they liked not to have God in their knowledge, God delivered them up to a
reprobate sense, to do those things which are not convenient.” (Romans 1:24-28)
This affliction is spiritual and is caused by demonic temptation, obsession, or possession.
If parents are either fallen-away Catholics, or bad Catholics meaning they are not
vigilant, an infant can be haunted by these demons of lust from birth, due to a lack of
spiritual protection in the home to ward off these demons who prowl about the world
seeking whom they might devour (1Pt. 5:8). This sinful condition resides in the soul—the
11
will—and can be totally conquered by the grace of God. 6) I reject the heresy of
feminism. That means, as the Holy Bible and Church has always infallibly taught, that a
woman must be in submission to, and obedient to her husband in all things but sin. A
married woman’s duty is to bring godly children into the world by giving birth, if God
wills, and she is to help her husband educate them in the faith, and see that they practice
it. A woman must care for the household, that means cooking and cleaning. A woman
must do her daily work without complaining and with joy and love. A woman cannot be a
priest and she cannot publicly teach the Catholic faith. A woman must dress modestly
and that means she must wear a dress—not pants so as to look like a man. “A woman
shall not be clothed with man's apparel, neither shall a man use woman's apparel: for he
that doth these things is abominable before God.” (Deut. 22:5) A woman must keep her
head covered in Church, not just a portion of her hair, but she should cover all her hair.
“For the man was not created for the woman: but the woman for the man. Therefore,
ought the woman to have a power over her head, because of the angels.” (1Cor. 11: 9,
10) Catholic Commentary: A power... that is, a veil or covering, as a sign that she is
under the power of her husband: and this, the apostle adds, because of the angels, who are
present in the assemblies of the faithful.
7) A man’s duty is to be the head of, and provide for his family. He is not to be weak and
effeminate, but he is to act manly in the service of God and be a source of strength and
leadership to his family. A man is the primary educator of the faith in his family and it is
his duty to see that his wife and children are well instructed in the Catholic faith and
obedient to all the Church’s commands. A father, just as is with an unmarried man, is not
to be lazy. He must work and he must do so joyfully and without complaining. A man is
not to take advantage of other men. A man who does not work, who is able to work, is an
abomination and is to be avoided. St. Paul says that such a man should not even be
allowed to eat.
“Neither did we eat any man's bread for nothing: but in labour and in toil we worked
night and day, lest we should be chargeable to any of you… For also, when we were with
you, this we declared to you: that, if any man will not work, neither let him eat… And if
any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man and do not keep company with
him, that he may be ashamed.” (2Thess. 3:8, 10, 14)
8) As the Catholic Church condemns, so I condemn the use of contraception. I condemn
Natural Family Planning, which is a form of contraception. I condemn voluntary
sterilization as a means to prevent conception. I condemn abortion as murder.
9) A parent’s obligation is to punish their children when they are bad, and that means
corporal punishment, if necessary—a spanking or other severe measures, if the child
resists. Our Lord says, “Spare the rod and spoil the child.” Parents are not to let their
children rule in their house, nor spoil them, nor are parents to let their children have
unlimited or unsupervised privacy. Parents are to demand obedience from their children
and punish them when it is not rendered.
10) A child’s duty is to be obedient to his parents in all things but sin.

I am now a Catholic, and by the grace of God, prayer, penance, mortification, sacrifice,
self-denial, study, and good deeds, I hope to stay that way. I truly love you all and hope
one day we can be one in the faith, so we can really enjoy one another’s company as true
brethren, brethren in the faith. Our Lord said that His brothers and sisters are those who
profess the same faith. I will be willing to visit with you, if you allow me to discuss the
faith and that you respect the above conditions laid out in this letter. But under no
circumstances can I ever visit you, if you make a mockery of the Catholic faith and try to
suppress me from talking about it, or defending it when it is attacked. I cannot sit idly by
and watch souls go to hell without making an attempt to try and save them. That would
be a sin of omission on my part.
May our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of
Mary, grant you all the graces you need to save your souls.
Soli Deo Gloria

PS: If you would like, I will be glad to send you detailed information that supports all that
is contained in this letter. He who refuses to learn of the Catholic faith cannot be saved.
He who truly seeks the truth shall find it.
