1. The gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Then, how come, the attacks on the Catholic Church today is so intense so that her gates seem to be collapsing. All her dogmas and morals had been crushed into smittens that none have remained intact. All her liturgical practices had been ruined. And the name of her God is rarely mentioned. Because that ruined structure under Pope Francis is not the Catholic Church.
Not only has the gates of hell prevailed it. The present Vatican Church of Pope Francis have become the dwelling place of the devil. Remember Pope Paul VI had said something about this. Pope Benedict had, also, described the Vatican Church of Pope Francis as a sinking boat. The Catholic Church does not sink nor is she in any danger of sinking. Maybe toss by huge waves but never sinking.
2. The Catholic Church.
As a Catholic monk-priest I have to know which is the Catholic Church and which is not. Because, as St. Paul had written, I must go and preach where there is no Church and I must not preach where the Church had been established. For obvious reasons. So I must first check if the Church is there or not.
Before I preach to religious communities like the Benedictines, Dominican, Jesuit where I have stayed for more than 10 years, if I see that they are Catholics then I do not preach to them any more in obedience to St. Paul. When I give talks to nuns like the Carmelites, Pink Sisters etc, I follow the same rule. When I give seminars to lay organisations like Focolare, Couples for Christ, etc....I follow the same rule. I do not address them if they are Catholics.
How do I know if they are Catholics? Through the four visible signs mentioned in the Nicene Creed. And I double check if they are Catholics from the expanded interpretation of the Fathers of the Church on the four visible signs, like St. Robert Bellarmine's 15 Marks of the Church.
And in all my work as a priest, I have never met any Catholic group that had the four visible signs of the true Church nor the 15 Marks described by St. Robert Bellarmine. All the Catholics I have met were indeed called Catholics but they did not have the reliable four visible signs that they are truly Catholics. So I ended up reviewing with them how to become a Catholic. And during the teach ins, I saw that they really did not know how to become Catholics.
So all my lectures and retreats ended up teaching people what are the four visible signs of the true Church of Christ and how to enter that Church. Fortunately, that is what the Liturgical Year is teaching from Advent up to the Feast of Christ the King. I did not have to do any further researches. Everything was in the Gospels of the daily Mass.......at least for one whole liturgical year, like Year A. Year B and C are worthy repetition of the lessons just in case the people had forgotten some point or just in case had wrongly misinterpreted some teachings.
3. This was shocking.
Having said Masses in other parishes and dioceses, I saw that none of the Parish or Diocese where I went had the four visible signs of the true Church; and neither did their priests nor faithful showed signs of being Catholic.
With the coming of the internet, we were exposed with so many Catholic writings. And it was clear that the Catholic writers wrote sound Catholic teachings but the writers themselves did not have the four visible signs of the true Church. Observing Cardinals and bishops all around the world, it was also clear that they held sound Catholic doctrines but did not have the four visible signs of the true Church. The four visible signs are different from one's natural knowledge of Catholic Doctrine, in which case, their knowledge of doctrine is merely in the form of Natural Theology and not spiritual theology which is a wisdom for those truly inside the Catholic Church.
4. Furthermore.
We have Popes and bishops to whom we owe filial obedience. My obedience to the Popes, from Pius XII to Pope Benedict was based on the teaching of Blessed John Newman. Newman teaches extraordinary obedience even to the whims of the Pope. And I followed that. But under one condition. The Pope must prove that he is a Catholic Pope. Why obey a fake?
And how can you know that a Pope is the true Pope of the Catholic Church? No other way than the four visible signs mentioned in the Nicene Creed; and better still as expanded by St. Robert Bellarmine. And for me, Pope Pius XII up Benedict XVI were true Popes. Anyone can test the Popes through their writings, audiences and behaviours.
5. Pope Francis is a problem.
But when it came to Pope Francis, no amount of study, praying and research could show that he had the four visible signs of the true Catholic as found in the Nicene Creed. The 15 Marks of a true Catholic by St. Robert Bellarmine the Jesuit Doctor of the Church could not show that Pope Francis is Catholic. In fact Bellarmine's work shows that Pope Francis is NOT Catholic but a Protestant. And the Vatican Church under Pope Francis is similarly seen as not Catholic.
6. Dangerous move.
Then I saw the dangerous moves of groups like the Lefebvre, the Orthodox and other denomination trying to enter the Vatican Church that is NOT Catholic. That is like jumping from the frying pan into the fire. Then there is the World Youth Day coming under the influence of the highly sexualised Vatican Church, the Catholic Church being run by Dicasteries held by sexual perverts and thousands of ignorant Catholics drinking poison from a non-Catholic papal audience, etc, etc. ...it makes one's heart sink in deep depression.
But then the though arises; but this cannot be the Catholic Church. It does not have the four visible signs of the true Church. Well, that is true. But where is the Church? How can I know if I am a part of that Church.
7. Many are insulted.
Many are hurt by our constant call to all Catholics to look for the true Church and make sure that we are inside the Church. Because of our past experience we are afraid that the Church is not around us; and that we are outside the Church in which there is no salvation. Can't we do ourselves a favour? Can't all Catholics look for the true Church using the four visible signs mentioned in the Creed that we recite every Sunday or using the 15 Marks of the true Church according to St. Robert Bellarmine.
Is it too much for me to encourage everyone to check if they are inside that church described in the Creed. And if they are inside, for all to teach their love ones the same?

4th Sunday and Monday of the 4th week.
1. Never listen to the devil.....
Even if he speaks the truth, St. Thomas of Aquinas wrote. When the devils speaks the truth, he will eventually tell a lie when he sees you complacent. So, no way should you ever listen to the devil. But you can learn from the conversations between Christ and the devil because Christ teaches us through those conversations.
2. The conversation between Christ and the devil.
The Gospel shows Christ confronting a man possessed by the devil. There are several lesson we can learn here. First, why was the man possessed by the devil? Why is it that when Christ preach he first drive away the devil before he preaches? Why is there exorcism before Baptism? Because everyone after they lose the grace of Baptism through actual sin are possessed by the devil. The man with fallen nature is the property of the devil and the devil likes to possess his properties.
Children who are born innocent are not possessed; but before they are possessed they are baptised to prevent future possession. But if they suddenly lose their baptismal gown through actual sin and return to their fallen state then they become the properties of the devil and the devil will possess them.
Secondly, as the Gospel shows, the devil is greatly tormented when they do not possess souls. So they asked Christ; did you come to exorcise us thus tormenting us when we lose the possession of souls? So for the devils, it is heaven to possess souls. The first chance they get they possess souls. The prayer in Compline says so. He is like a roaring lion seeking whom he might devour. An unwatchful soul is an easy prey for the devil. All souls without grace are possessed. Sometimes by one devil, sometimes by seven devil. And like the man in todays Gospel, he was possessed by legions. The world, due to its lack of Faith, including most Catholics, are possessed by the devil. If the devil was able to enter Judas, why not you or me.
Thirdly, it is a torment for the devil to be driven out of a soul. So the devils fight from being driven out of a soul. Since it is a great torment for the devils to be driven out of a soul, it would rather chose to be transferred to a pig than just return to the air. It is this great torment that makes the devil look always for souls to possess. And there are countless souls that are good candidates for possession. Almost everyone.
3. Who can drive the devil away.
First, Christ, of course, can drive the devil away. IF the devils feared Christ it was because Christ might drive them away from possessed persons. Secondly, a life of perfect repentance drives the devil away. When the apostles could not drive the devil away, Christ said; this kind can only be driven away through prayer and fasting. Repentance, according to St Augustine, is a life of prayer, fasting and good works. So the life of repentance alone can drive the devil away.
Thirdly, the monastic life is a life of repentance. So monastic life alone can exorcise a soul. A monk should not be possessed by the devil. If he is possessed, it is because he is not living the fulness of his monastic life. In effect, the Catholic Church cannot be possessed by the devil. If as Pope Paul VI mentioned, the devil has entered the Catholic Church, it is because the Catholic Church have ceased to be Catholic. Because if it is Catholic, the devil cannot enter her.
Fourthly, a good exorcist can drive away the devil. But the exorcist must have, at least, the theological virtue of Faith. Otherwise the devil can fool the exorcist. Because most of our exorcist have no Faith, the devil who is an angel and superior to the priest, can fool the priest into believing that he had left the soul when, in truth , he has not left. Or the devil can leave and immediately return thus fooling the exorcist. Or the devil can make the exorcist believe that this is only a psychological case. In short, the devil is more intelligent than any priest and without Faith the priest is no much.
Since getting Christ to exorcise us is difficult, and to be exorcised by a priest can be unreliable, the best is to live the life of perfect repentance.
4. The devil is the prince of the world.
Christ said so. The devil wants to possess his subjects. So those living a worldly life, a way of life encouraged by Pope Francis and his FrancisBishops, are surely possessed by the devil. Before they can even live a life of perfect repentance which Pope Francis is discouraging, they must be exorcized. And they have not been exorcized since the time Paul VI who noticed that Satan had entered or possessed the Catholic Church. With no repentance, which Pope Francis had never encouraged and even shown as unnecessary, there is no hope for man.
5. We don't need pigs.
Since men, especially the whole Vatican bureaucracy are willing to house the devils and all other infidels, we don't need pigs. Anyway legions of devils can be accommodated in one soul. Those devils must be having a ball with no one to take them out to torment them.
Just last week, the bishops called for more exorcists due to the increase in daemonic possessions. Few priest are stepping forward because the few priest who have some passing acquaintance with the devil is afraid of him. Priests who are randomly assigned by their bishops are unequipped with this kind of battle. Due to the superiority of the devil and his power, these priests are easily overwhelmed and fooled into believing that they can exorcise.

The MARKS OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.
1. They are referred to as 'the four visible signs of the Catholic Church.'
And they are enumerated clearly in the Nicene Creed; One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic. These four visible signs can be known by all men for very obvious reasons. God instituted His Church and He wants everyone to enter His Church to attain salvation. There is no salvation outside of this one true Church. Therefore, God, in His great mercy, has to make this Church visible to all men in the easiest way visible. And it is. For a man not to know that the Catholic Church is the true Church he must be a dodo.
Together with the knowledge of which is the only true Church, God in His Divine Goodness, had also given men the knowledge to know whether he is inside or outside the Catholic Church. To know that one is inside the Catholic Church is given only to those who have Faith. Those without Faith cannot know whether they are inside or outside the Catholic Church. And those with Faith can know if others are outside or inside the Catholic Faith. That is why he knows where to go and preach.
If today most are confused because they cannot find the true Catholic Church, the fault is theirs.....they do not know the signs of the times.
2. Faith is attained through the Liturgy.
In the Liturgy, Holy Mother the Church teaches souls how to gradually enter the Church. She begins by describing to us the Church; so we do not commit any mistake by entering the wrong Church. This lesson begins with Advent and reaches even up to the fourth week of the year.
Then the Liturgy teaches us the first step that makes us enter the Church. This consist in being united with the Mystical Body of Jesus Christ and occurs when we receive grace and the theological and supernatural virtue of Faith.
Then comes union with the soul of the Church, the Holy Spirit, that occurs when we reach Charity.
3. The Fathers of the Church describes these steps in more detail. St. Robert Bellarmine describes it in 15 steps. So each soul can know, really, how far or near he is in reaching the perfection of the Catholic life. Anyone can know how far inside or how far outside he is from the entrance of the Catholic Church.
These four visible signs of the Catholic Church, as expanded by the Fathers and Doctors of the Church, is the only way a soul can know whether he is a Catholic or not. There are many other ways but they are too difficult for the ordinary men; they are available only to men of Faith.
4. Canonization of saints.
When saints are canonised, the traditional first step is to prove that he or she is a Catholic. IF he is not a Catholic, he might be outside the Church of which there is no salvation; so he cannot be a saint. Vatican II had removed this first step so the canonisation process today is defective in that it could canonise a pagan or a sinner.
5. The solution to all problem.
If the problem is who is the true Pope, just ask who is he who has the visible signs of the Catholic Church. Which is the true Church? The one who has the signs of the true Catholic Church. Who is the valid bishop, priest and nun? Those who have the four visible signs of the true Church. Which is the Catholic parish? The parish whose members have the four visible signs of the Catholic Church.
6. The Liturgy of the Mass shows how much a soul is inside or outside the Church. The description is so precise a soul can know how far he is from the Church; how near he is. And if he is inside how mush inside he is. It is possible to know in a continuum from minus O10 .....up to 100 how close or how far one is. We can say that the Orthodox is closer to the Catholic Church than the Protestants. That the Lefebvre group is nearer than the Orthodox. That the Franciscans are nearer than the Jesuits. And some laymen are closer than some nuns. Since the exact position is a spiritual posture, only those with Faith can know the distance. Those without Faith can know nothing.
Using these visible signs as a gauge, we can say that the Orthodox is nearest to the true Catholic Church. The next is the Lefebvre. Most of the religious orders come next. Among the Christians, the Protestants are really way out. Then the pagans that have absolutely no semblance with the true Church. Last is the Vatican Church of Pope Francis; because, not only does it not have the four visible signs of the true Church as found in the Nicene Creed. The Vatican Church even have the negative signs enumerated by St Bellarmine, as the signs that it is not the true Church established by Christ.
7. Answering question.
To the question who is right? The authors of the 'dubia' or Pope Francis. Ask who has more of the visible signs of the Church? The authors of the dubia has more signs than Pope Francis.
We have two Popes.Who is the real one. Who is the anti-pope? Ask who has the visible signs of the Church. Pope Benedict has more signs. Pope Francis does not have any visible signs.
Get these visible signs and go around to see who are truly the members of the Church and you will shocked. You will see that Pope Francis and most of the Cardinals and bishops and priests are not Catholics. That most religious congregations like the Jesuits, Benedictines, etc. are no longer Catholics. That most organisations like the Opus Dei, Foccolare, Neo- cathecumenate, Charismatics are not Catholic. To double this analysis, asked them yourselves to prove that they are Catholics and they will not be able.
Since these four signs are visible, we ourselves can go around the check parishes and dioceses and we will find found out the same things. That there are no Catholics around. What we see, like the Vatican, are the outward empty shell of a structure that used to be called Catholic Church. But the true Church is no longer there.
8. But the Church cannot cease to exist.
Christ said so. The gates of hell shall not prevail against her. How come, the gates of hell seems to be able to break her gates down today? Because the devil had been pounding on the wrong gate. The Vatican is no longer the vineyard of the Lord, because it no longer has the four visible marks of the Catholic Church, And neither Pope Francis has them. And neither most of the dioceses and parishes in the world. As the catechism reminds us; these four signs are visible signs. We should find these signs. How come these signs are not in our parish nor in the Vatican?
And they are enumerated clearly in the Nicene Creed; One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic. These four visible signs can be known by all men for very obvious reasons. God instituted His Church and He wants everyone to enter His Church to attain salvation. There is no salvation outside of this one true Church. Therefore, God, in His great mercy, has to make this Church visible to all men in the easiest way visible. And it is. For a man not to know that the Catholic Church is the true Church he must be a dodo.
Together with the knowledge of which is the only true Church, God in His Divine Goodness, had also given men the knowledge to know whether he is inside or outside the Catholic Church. To know that one is inside the Catholic Church is given only to those who have Faith. Those without Faith cannot know whether they are inside or outside the Catholic Church. And those with Faith can know if others are outside or inside the Catholic Faith. That is why he knows where to go and preach.
If today most are confused because they cannot find the true Catholic Church, the fault is theirs.....they do not know the signs of the times.
2. Faith is attained through the Liturgy.
In the Liturgy, Holy Mother the Church teaches souls how to gradually enter the Church. She begins by describing to us the Church; so we do not commit any mistake by entering the wrong Church. This lesson begins with Advent and reaches even up to the fourth week of the year.
Then the Liturgy teaches us the first step that makes us enter the Church. This consist in being united with the Mystical Body of Jesus Christ and occurs when we receive grace and the theological and supernatural virtue of Faith.
Then comes union with the soul of the Church, the Holy Spirit, that occurs when we reach Charity.
3. The Fathers of the Church describes these steps in more detail. St. Robert Bellarmine describes it in 15 steps. So each soul can know, really, how far or near he is in reaching the perfection of the Catholic life. Anyone can know how far inside or how far outside he is from the entrance of the Catholic Church.
These four visible signs of the Catholic Church, as expanded by the Fathers and Doctors of the Church, is the only way a soul can know whether he is a Catholic or not. There are many other ways but they are too difficult for the ordinary men; they are available only to men of Faith.
4. Canonization of saints.
When saints are canonised, the traditional first step is to prove that he or she is a Catholic. IF he is not a Catholic, he might be outside the Church of which there is no salvation; so he cannot be a saint. Vatican II had removed this first step so the canonisation process today is defective in that it could canonise a pagan or a sinner.
5. The solution to all problem.
If the problem is who is the true Pope, just ask who is he who has the visible signs of the Catholic Church. Which is the true Church? The one who has the signs of the true Catholic Church. Who is the valid bishop, priest and nun? Those who have the four visible signs of the true Church. Which is the Catholic parish? The parish whose members have the four visible signs of the Catholic Church.
6. The Liturgy of the Mass shows how much a soul is inside or outside the Church. The description is so precise a soul can know how far he is from the Church; how near he is. And if he is inside how mush inside he is. It is possible to know in a continuum from minus O10 .....up to 100 how close or how far one is. We can say that the Orthodox is closer to the Catholic Church than the Protestants. That the Lefebvre group is nearer than the Orthodox. That the Franciscans are nearer than the Jesuits. And some laymen are closer than some nuns. Since the exact position is a spiritual posture, only those with Faith can know the distance. Those without Faith can know nothing.
Using these visible signs as a gauge, we can say that the Orthodox is nearest to the true Catholic Church. The next is the Lefebvre. Most of the religious orders come next. Among the Christians, the Protestants are really way out. Then the pagans that have absolutely no semblance with the true Church. Last is the Vatican Church of Pope Francis; because, not only does it not have the four visible signs of the true Church as found in the Nicene Creed. The Vatican Church even have the negative signs enumerated by St Bellarmine, as the signs that it is not the true Church established by Christ.
7. Answering question.
To the question who is right? The authors of the 'dubia' or Pope Francis. Ask who has more of the visible signs of the Church? The authors of the dubia has more signs than Pope Francis.
We have two Popes.Who is the real one. Who is the anti-pope? Ask who has the visible signs of the Church. Pope Benedict has more signs. Pope Francis does not have any visible signs.
Get these visible signs and go around to see who are truly the members of the Church and you will shocked. You will see that Pope Francis and most of the Cardinals and bishops and priests are not Catholics. That most religious congregations like the Jesuits, Benedictines, etc. are no longer Catholics. That most organisations like the Opus Dei, Foccolare, Neo- cathecumenate, Charismatics are not Catholic. To double this analysis, asked them yourselves to prove that they are Catholics and they will not be able.

The CHURCH in CHINA
1. The Catholic Church in China.
The Catholic Church in China is one of the Churches that is closest to the true Church of Christ in their catechesis. They are similar to the Church in Japan when they were re-discovered by the French missionaries. The persecution, in both cases, had made them devout Catholics.
The Catholic Church thrives in persecutions thus it has been said that the blood of martyrs is the seed that multiplies the Church. It is a lesson the devil had never learned so he continues to destroy the Church through persecutions and martyrdoms.
Good times and progress is not the healthy air through which the Church grows. So progress in Europe, in the US, in Japan, in the Far East had decimated the Catholic Church; and especially in the Vatican. While the Church in the Middle East is growing in deep spirituality as in Egypt.
The Church in Russia is doing well due to the inherent nature of the Orthodox Church that is closer to the true Catholic Church than the Vatican. The same can be said of the Le Febvre group; together with the Church in Ethiopia, point by point they are closer to the Church established by Christ and propagated by the Apostles than the Vatican Church of Pope Francis.
With the Vatican announcement that the patriotic church of China is the one recognised by the Vatican and that the underground Catholic Church should integrate with the communist established Church, Pope Francis moved to kill the last vestiges of Catholicism in China. Pope Francis had been euthanising the existing old and decrepid agonising existing Catholic Church. He continues with his euthanasia in Chile, Peru ....and just watch him in his next trips. The only consoling news is the decline in those who attend these grandiose p.r. audiences.
The latest 'My Pope' magazine here in the Philippines is obviously a high-financed p.r. attempt to boost Pope Francis' image akin to selling playboy magazine. And it is being given free to the bishops. It is too expensive for the ordinary folks. Well, confuse a bishop and the whole diocese will be confused. Imagine a bishop subscribing to Play Boy; or worse a cardinal from Belgium with pornography in his computer.
The vibrant Catholic remnant Church in Japan was attacked by Satan through the worldly progress the Marshall plan did to Japan. Japan became as progressive as Protestant America; and became as Protestant as America.
Satan is using heresies in China; a weapon he had successfully used in Vatican II with the introduction of the pernicious heresy of modernism cloaked in the garments of 'New Theology,' which is nothing but old heresies.
2. 'Like the rest of the brethren.'
The prayer at Compline reminds the Christian that they must undergo sufferings like the rest of the brethren throughout the world. And China will undergo more severe trials in the future. And this is exactly what is going on with other Christians in the Middle East and in Africa. The Church is undergoing a 'setting aside.' The population of the world is undergoing a final test. On whose side are you? Are you on the side of God or the devil. While the devil uses worldly progress and comforts and luxuries to attract souls on his side, God uses sufferings and persecution to set aside those on His side. And the Church in China is being moved to God's side through suffering 'that is undergone by the rest of the brethren throughout the world. '
While the U.S., Europe and other countries are being attracted by Satan the way he attracted Eve in the Garden of Eden with 'do what you want and get what you want.' Sounds like the shouts in U.S. universities. No different from what the snake told Eve.
3. Death blows.
Pope Francis had been delivering death blows at the Catholic Church. His 'love without dogma' world wide address dealt a death blow at the pillars of the Catholic Church, the theological virtues. His 'Amores Laetitia dealt a death blow at the Sacrament of Matrimony. His 'Vultus Dei' dealt a death blow at the religious life. Volpi was Francis' death blow to the Franciscans and a bad member was used to deliver a death blow to the Knights of Malta (fortunately they are still breathing.) Death blows had been delivered at the Heralds of the Gospel and to good bishops and priests. And a serious death blow had been delivered to the canonisation process so that doubts are raised at the people canonised by the Vatican just as doubts should be raised at the validity of the ordination of priests and bishops, and the validity of the Mass.
4. To the Church in China.
One Church in China has the line of succession from the Apostles. All bishops can trace their line of succession from the Apostles. And genuine bishops specifically know their line and this line of succession is documented. Another church does not have this apostolic succession.
The Catholics of China must follow the bishops who have a valid line of succession from the Apostles. This is a Divine Law. They should not follow the orders of a man teaching a human political convenient arrangement even if he is Pope Francis. That would be like following Martin Luther, who was honoured with a Vatican stamp by Pope Francis.
It is hard enough to follow the teachings of Christ though these are all found in the New Testament and explained by the Fathers of the Church. But to know if our bishop falls in line with the succession from the Apostles is a little difficult. If this is impossible, then just cling to the commands of Christ in the New Testament and as interpreted by the Fathers of the Church. That will be more than enough to bring us to heaven where we can be free from communist oppression and Vatican misinformations.
