Done with Novus Ordo: from fake Catholic to real Catholic
I converted from atheism to what I thought was the Catholic church in 1999 (read my conversion story). After years of watching anti-pope Jorge Bergoglio (stage name Pope Francis) contradict Catholic teaching, I realized in 2016 that heretic could not possibly be the pope.
Throughout all of October 2019, I watched with horror the demonic rituals taking place in Rome during the Amazon Synod. I wanted nothing to do with anti-pope Bergoglio and had asked my Vatican II diocesan pastor to speak against this blasphemy. So far in October, he had said nothing.
On October 27, 2019, I watched video footage from Rome showing anti-pope Bergoglio enthroning a demon (symbolized by a placing a mysterious bowl of plants) on the high altar in St. Peter’s Basilica. I had already decided to leave my parish on that very day if my pastor did not decry Bergoglio’s idolatry from the pulpit that day.
However, I did not stay long enough to hear whether he said anything (I suspect not). Because that day, I also discovered to my dismay that the parish choir ladies did not believe in the core Catholic doctrine of transubstantiation; in other words, they were Protestants.
I said, “That’s it. I’m done with Novus Ordo.” I immediately left the “church” in disgust and drove one hour to a Traditional Latin Mass (also called the TLM or Tridentine Mass), which was offered at a conservative diocesan parish.
I believe I’m the only person at my parish who drew a line in the sand after Bergoglio enthroned the demon and said, “This Novus Ordo sect is CLEARLY the anti-church and I won’t be part of it from this day forward.”
I must have known the day would come when I would permanently switch to the TLM. I had already attended a few TLMs, bought a chapel veil, and red 1962 Latin-English Booklet Missal for Praying the Traditional Mass to help me follow along (most TLM groups use the 1962 missal). I saw clearly how dramatically the liturgy has changed since 1969, when the new Vatican II service masquerading as Catholic called the “New Order of Mass” (Novus Ordo Missae or Novus Ordo for short) was rolled out to replace the Traditional Latin Mass.
I arrived at the church in time to attend the Traditional Latin Mass. I awkwardly put my chapel veil on my head, slipped into the church pew, and let the Gregorian chant wash over me. Even though I had attended the Novus Ordo version of the Latin Mass for many years, I really didn’t know what to do in a Traditional Latin Mass, so I just copied what everyone else did (the liturgy is quite different but the recurring prayers such as the Pater Noster (Our Father) are the same).
I was gratified to hear this pastor condemn Bergoglio’s idolatry from the pulpit in the strongest terms. I breathed a sigh of relief and thought, “OK, I’m home now.”
For 5 months (October 27, 2019 – March 15, 2020), I made the long drive each week to attend the TLM. What I didn’t know at the time is that Novus Ordo “priests” are not validly ordained since the ordination rite changed in 1968. So even though they said the “mass” reverently, it was a sham because they have no power to change the bread and wine into Jesus’ body and blood. I thought I was receiving the Eucharist when I kneeled at the communion rail, but sadly I was not.
Scamdemic playbook
I knew something terrible would happen after Bergoglio enthroned a demon in St. Peter’s Basilica. I just didn’t know what was coming.
On Friday, March 13, 2020, President Trump declared a “state of emergency” due to an imaginary “virus” and urged everyone to stay home. The campaign slogan was, “Two weeks to stop the spread” of a fake “virus.” I saw a few scared old ladies wearing masks in the grocery store, but I didn’t see anyone who was sick.
It’s clear to me that our evil overlords used a fake “pandemic” to scare people into accepting the poison jab. The playbook included shutting down the economy to drive small and medium companies permanently out of business and devastate tens of thousands of people who lost their jobs. I also believe that 5G networks were installed in schools and businesses as everyone sat at home, as numerous eyewitness reports have stated.
This shutdown just happened to start on the 7-year anniversary of anti-pope Benedict’s bizarre resignation. I don’t think that was a coincidence.
Right on cue, anti-pope Bergoglio shut down Rome’s churches as part of his role in the scamdemic. These and other synchronized actions from puppet leaders around the world proved to me that we have been living under the one world government of the Synagogue of Satan (Rev. 2:9 and 3:9) for some time.
On Sunday, March 15, 2020, I did not stay home as instructed but attended the TLM, not concerned about the so-called state-of-emergency. I wasn’t sure what exactly was going on, but since I wasn’t sick, I went to church as usual. This would be the last Vatican II service I would ever attend.
The very next week — on Sunday, March 22, 2020 — in lockstep with Bergoglio’s and Trump’s decrees — all Vatican II sect “churches” in the United States closed and public “masses” were cancelled. For the first time ever. I knew the real Catholic Church would never close its doors willingly and never has throughout all history. But the prophesied end-times anti-church had no problem shutting down and taking government money to do so (so we are told).
“Bishop” Burbidge likewise promptly shut down all public “masses” in the Arlington diocese of Virginia, including the conservative parish that I had been attending.
On April 12, 2020, Easter services were cancelled for the first time ever. I was extremely sad. But what at first appeared to be a disaster was really a blessing, because anyone with “eyes to see” knew that this was not — and could not be — the action of the real Catholic Church.
By the time the Vatican II sect parishes finally re-opened months later, satanic mask requirements and degrading “social distancing” rituals were firmly in place. I saw that the Vatican II sect is — in fact — part of the Synagogue of Satan. And I refused to enter.
When the scamdemic started in 2020, I started praying the rosary regularly every single day and consecrated myself to Jesus through the Blessed Virgin Mary, according to the instructions of St. Louis de Montfort. I believe that the daily rosary and consecration resulted in graces that gave me discernment.
Is SSPX the answer?
I had heard that the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) offered the Traditional Latin Mass and their chapels did not close down during the scamdemic.
So in September 2020, I drove more than 100 miles to attend an SSPX Mass in Virginia. I had always thought the SSPX were sedevacantists (that is, I thought they believed the Chair of Peter — the papacy — to be vacant).
As I entered the chapel’s vestibule, I was shocked and repelled to see a huge portrait of anti-pope Bergoglio on the wall. Troubled, I tried not to look at the portrait as I stood in the confession line. Confession was offered before and during Mass, which I learned was common before Vatican II. This gives Catholics every opportunity to be in a state of grace before receiving the Eucharist.
I slipped into the chapel for Mass. I was relieved to see no masks. The liturgy was as beautiful and reverent as I had hoped, complete with Gregorian chant, incense, bells, and gorgeous vestments. The only disappointment was the homily, which sounded like a bland Novus Ordo homily.
After Mass, a parishioner explained that the SSPX are not sedevacantists at all, but rather accept the Vatican II popes as valid popes. This was news to me.
Although the SSPX have all the “smells and bells” of the Traditional Latin Mass, I discovered that doctrinally, they are not much different than a conservative Novus Ordo parish. To my horror, they even commemorated Bergoglio as the “pope” in the Mass.
After returning home, I reasoned later, “Would I attend a service if I saw a picture of the devil on the wall? No, absolutely not. Well, it’s obvious that Bergoglio worships the devil; so I can’t attend a service in which a devil-worshipper is commemorated at Mass.”
I did not attend Mass at the SSPX chapel again since they are in heresy by accepting the Vatican II sect’s teachings and hierarchy.
God’s severe mercy: fake Latin Masses shut down
Throughout 2022, the Traditional Latin Masses in most Vatican II churches around the world were permanently halted, in false obedience to anti-pope Bergoglio’s Traditionis Custodes decree.
On September 8, 2022, the Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, “Bishop” Burbidge cancelled most Traditional Latin Masses in the Arlington diocese. He slashed the number of TLM locations from 21 to 8 and booted most remaining TLMs out of the main church. The TLM attendees at my previous parish were thrown out of the main church and relegated to an offsite pre-school for their service. If I hadn’t already left the parish in 2020, that would have been the final straw. I don’t know why anyone would accept this humiliating treatment as second-class citizens, but some did.
As dramatic as this was, I believe shutting down most TLMs in the Vatican II sect was God’s severe mercy in order to drive real Catholics out of the anti-church forever.
Prayer to my guardian angel
Also in 2022, I stumbled across a false traditionalist website and first learned about the 1986 blasphemous pan-religious prayer meeting held by John Paul II in Assisi, Italy. In this idolatrous meeting, witches, shamans, and representatives of every false religion gathered together for a demonic “prayer” service. I also learned that John Paul II and other claimants to the papacy after 1958 had all been heretics. This was news to me.
While I learned much from that particular website, I noticed that they never recommended Catholics leave the Vatican II sect; in fact, they specifically ridiculed the sedevacantist position. I realize now that’s because the website is owned by a “recognize and resist” group, which correctly recognizes the heresy of the Vatican II sect but then wrongly recommends Catholics stay inside the anti-church and “resist” the “heretical popes” instead of admitting that a heretic can’t be pope. The “recognize and resist” position makes no sense because it ultimately destroys the authority of the papacy. Thus “recognize and resist” groups (including the SSPX) do more damage to the real authority of the Catholic Church than any openly heretical group.
In December 2022, I asked my guardian angel to make known to me anything I needed to know for salvation. Shortly after, a video from the VaticanCatholic channel popped up in my YouTube feed (it may have been Apocalypse Now in the Vatican). I watched the video and before it ended, I knew: the Vatican II sect is not the Catholic Church, but rather the prophesied end-times false church. Here was the clarity I was praying for.
I watched almost every VaticanCatholic video and read articles at VaticanCatholic.com to find out the truth. The site is the work of Benedictine monks Brothers Michael and Peter Dimond (brothers in real life) of Most Holy Family Monastery in New York. The brothers have spent more than 20 years proclaiming and proving that the Vatican II sect is the end-times anti-church prophesied in the Book of Revelation. After the Vatican II council ended in 1965, a new sect was created that called itself “Catholic” but promoted false doctrines and changed all the sacraments.
I learned I must leave the Vatican II sect and thus become a real Catholic to be saved. I am forever grateful to my guardian angel and to the Dimond brothers for proclaiming the authentic Catholic faith to the remnant, however few we are.
I finally understood the literal truth of the ancient Catholic doctrine “Extra Ecclesia nullus salus” or “Outside the Church there is no salvation.”
To be Catholic, I now know one must believe and accept all Catholic teachings, be validly baptized with water, confess one’s sins to a validly ordained priest (that is, a priest ordained in the pre-Vatican II rite by a bishop consecrated in the pre-Vatican II rite), keep the commandments, be a member of the true Catholic Church, and leave the false church.
Fake sacraments
In January 2023, I realized with a jolt that all my sacraments were fake.
I realized that my baptism as a baby by a Protestant minister might be invalid. I also realized that none of my confessions to a Vatican II “priest” were valid. None of my Eucharists were real.
Since Vatican II sect “priests” are not real priests:
Every “mass” offered by a Vatican II sect “priest” is fake.
The bread and wine are not changed into the body and blood of Jesus during “mass.”
Jesus is not present in the tabernacle of a Vatican II sect anti-church.
Confessing to a Vatican II “priest” doesn’t count.
Whoa! In January 2023, I asked my youngest son Ryan to conditionally baptize me. We followed the conditional baptism instructions on the VaticanCatholic.com website exactly.
I thought when I made my first confession ever to a validly ordained SSPX priest in September 2020 that my sins were forgiven. Now I realized that even this confession didn’t wipe away my sins because I had not yet made a general (complete) confession. This means (sadly) that when I received the real Eucharist for the first time, I was not in a state of grace, although I thought I was.
Since I had never made a general confession to a valid priest, I realized I needed to confess all my sins all over again. So in January 2023, I made another long drive to the SSPX chapel to make a general confession and receive the Eucharist from a validly ordained priest.* This was the first valid confession I’ve ever made. This was only the second real Eucharist I’ve ever received, but the first time I received the Eucharist in a state of grace.
Two long years passed with health problems that prevented travel. However, I’m happy to report that in March 2025, I was finally able to make the long drive again to the SSPX chapel for confession and Eucharist. I am grateful to receive the sacraments. I never know when it will be my last chance.
* Validly ordained priest – Most SSPX priests are validly ordained, but not all. I confirmed that a valid bishop ordained the priest I visited. SSPX founder Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre validly consecrated four bishops in 1988: Bishops Fellay, Tissier de Mallerais, Williamson, and Galarreta. SSPX priests ordained by one of these bishops or their successors are valid. Men ordained by a Vatican II “bishop” or using the New Rite of Paul VI (1968 Rite) are not valid priests. For more, see The New Rite of Ordination is Invalid from the Dimond brothers.
Why are so many deceived?
St. Paul explains why so many are deceived by lies and false religions:
“…they refused to love the truth and so be saved. Therefore God sends upon them a strong delusion to make them believe what is false, so that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”
~ 2 Thess 2:10-12
“Come out of her, my people”
Now is the time for everyone of good will to break free of the Vatican II sect, leave “recognize and resist” forever, join the faithful Catholic remnant, and seek the TRUTH no matter what it costs.
An important first step is to stop referring to heretics as popes of the Catholic Church. A heretic is outside the Church and thus can’t be pope.

Jesus is coming back soon.
Anyone who stays in the Vatican II sect will be lost. Better to boldly proclaim that the Vatican II sect is the prophesied Whore of Babylon and openly leave the false church to enter the true Church, as Jesus urged:
“Come out of her, my people,
lest you take part in her sins,
lest you share in her plagues;
for her sins are heaped high as heaven,
and God has remembered her iniquities.”
~ Rev. 18:4-5
