Why become a Catholic in the end times?
Why would anyone want to become a Catholic now?
- The Catholic Church is the one true Church founded by Jesus Christ, the Savior of the World.
- Outside the Church there is no Salvation.
How can you distinguish between the Catholic Church and the anti-church?
The One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church is in eclipse, as I explained in Jorge Bergolio: Pope or anti-pope. The anti-church is ruled over by the Freemason antipope Jorge Bergoglio (stage name Pope Francis). The true Catholic Church consists of a remnant who have rejected the Vatican II sect as an idolatrous anti-church.
Beginning in 2020, it became much easier to identify the anti-church. Any church that closed or required masks is part of the anti-church. Be assured that any person—layman, priest, bishop, or so-called pope—who promotes the COVID cult and urges you to get a deathvaxx is a member of the anti-church. You don’t want to join the anti-church by mistake.
With that in mind, here is my advice to anyone considering becoming a Catholic in these end times.
5 steps to guide you…
Step 1. Learn who Jesus is.
Who is Jesus? Jesus is the Savior of the World and no one goes to Heaven but through Him.
You must learn about the life of Jesus and read his words for yourself. Start by reading the Gospel of Luke, The Gospel of John, and The Book of Acts. And order your own Bible. There are 4 gospels (that is, narratives) of the life of Jesus in the Bible:
- The Gospel of Matthew, Mark, and Luke – these narratives are very similar, so while you should read them all eventually, I suggest you start with Luke. Luke is the only gospel that contains the birth story of Jesus.
- The Gospel of John – This narrative written by the youngest of Jesus’ apostles John is the most theological and makes it clear that Jesus is God.
You can read the Bible online for free at Biblegateway.com. But steer clear of Protestant Bibles—including the King James Version—which are missing 7 books and usually have inaccurate translations. Search for the Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (RSVCE), then select Bible Book List. Under the New Testament, select Luke to start reading. When you finish, select John, then read Acts (history of the early Church). You can read all this in a few hours.
Next, order your own Bible. Note on Bible editions: I recommend the Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (RSVCE). Avoid the New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition because it has “inclusive” language. Some traditional Catholics prefer the Douay-Rheims translation, but I find the archaic style hard to understand.

- Order: RSVCE Bible (also called the Ignatius Bible) – large print edition.
Step 2. Study a traditional catechism.
What is a catechism? A catechism is a summary of doctrine, in a question-and-answer format. This is what you must believe to be Catholic. Many Catholic catechisms have been written over the centuries, but many published in the past 150 years or so are watered down. Even the famous Baltimore Catechism (1888 edition) incorrectly claims there are three kinds of baptism, when there is only one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. I recommend this catechism from the Most Holy Family Monastery:
- Read online for free: Catechism Of Christian Doctrine (The Penny Catechism).
Step 3. Stop sinning right now!
Take some time to reflect on the words of Jesus: sinners go to hell. You don’t want to go to hell. There’s no time to waste. Repent now and ask forgiveness for your sins. This means you MUST:
- Stop living with your boyfriend or girlfriend (or get married if neither of you have been married before).
- Stop all sexual relations outside of marriage, homosexuality, pornography, masturbation, contraception, and abortion.
- Stop occult practices such as yoga, astrology, palm readers, tarot cards, and fortune tellers.
- Stop drunkenness, illegal drug use, stealing, and lying.
Sin makes you a slave and clouds your mind to the truth. At this stage, you won’t be aware of all your sins, but you certainly know about the big ones. If you don’t give up the mortal sins above, you will not get far.
Step 4. Steps to convert and receive baptism.
Check out the advice from Most Holy Family Monastery on steps to convert and receive baptism. If you do not have access to a priest, a layperson can baptize you.
After you are baptized and received into the Church:
- Pray the rosary every day. I ordered 4 beautiful handmade rosaries from Refuge Rosaries.
- Read the Bible every day.
- Watch all the videos at vaticancatholic.com.
- Read traditional Catholic material every day (start with vaticancatholic.com).
- Attend a Traditional Latin Mass, if possible.
- Confess your sins at least once a month, if possible.
- Stay away from occasions of sin (bars if you drink too much, for example).
Step 5. Receive the sacraments as often as possible.
There are very few options left to attend a Traditional Latin Mass as of January 2023. Check out the advice offered by Most Holy Family Monastery on where to receive sacraments (it’s grim).
The priests of the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) are validly ordained and they offer valid sacraments. However, since the SSPX promotes heretical views like recognizing Bergoglio as the pope, they should not be looked to for spiritual guidance.
If you can find a valid Traditional Latin Mass to attend, you will need a chapel veil (if female) and missal. A missal is a book that helps you follow along with the Catholic service called the Mass. Check with the church to see which missal they use. The SSPX uses the 1962 missal shown below:
- Read online for free: Latin-English Booklet Missal for Praying the Traditional Mass.
- Order from Leaflet Missal: Latin-English Booklet Missal for Praying the Traditional Mass, (sometimes called the Latin-English Tridentine Mass Missal), 68 pages, 1962 missal, red booklet, about $10.
My story: I left the Novus Ordo Mass (of the Vatican II sect) forever on the very day anti-pope Bergoglio enthroned a demon in St. Peter’s Basilica, October 27, 2019. I switched to a diocesan Traditional Latin Mass (TLM) until the scamdemic lockdowns started in March 2020.
When my Novus Ordo diocesan church finally re-opened months later with satanic mask requirements, I realized it was—in fact—part of the church of satan and declined to enter.
By November 2022, the Traditional Latin Mass in my old church and most other diocesan churches in the Diocese of Arlington had been shut down by Bishop Burbidge, in false obedience to anti-pope Bergoglio’s decree. As drastic and dramatic as this was, I believe this was God’s severe mercy in order to drive real Catholics out of the Novus Ordo anti-church forever.
Once I drove 110 miles to attend a Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) Mass. The SSPX chapels did not close down or require parishioners to wear masks during the scamdemic. I did not return regularly due to the distance and my realization that the SSPX supports anti-pope Bergoglio.
In January 2023, I felt compelled to make the long drive again to make a general confession and receive the Eucharist from an SSPX priest. I was grateful to receive those sacraments, never knowing when it will be my last chance.
