I am 59 years old, born in 1962. I feel I've been robbed of the one true religion for my entire life. Thank God, for He never forgot me. I can never deny Him.

[@heloisahodierna7699]

We were robbed of true Catholic Culture and of the true Mass and Sacraments, but they could not rob us (God willing) of the true Faith, and God has guided many of us back to Tradition, even when some of us (myself included) went wandering under their influence. Just praying I make it safely home now!!

I too was born in 1962. Praise God for bringing me into the true Mass some years back.

[@mollytrudeau4189]

I was born in 1968. I remember when I was 4, my parents left the Concilliar parish because of abuses and disrespect, and found an independent priest who said the old mass in Houston. He later joined the SSPX and later purchased and founded Saint Mary's Academy and College. I had the great privilege of being Confirmed by Archbishop Lefebvre at Econe, assisting at Ordinations there, and meeting him several times. I also met and spoke with Cardinal Gagnon when I was a teacher with the Dominican nuns of the house of Brignol. Many priests of the SSPX visited my family's home,, bringing us the Holy Mass and Sacraments.. Thank you so much to those who made this documentary.. Only in heaven will we know how much we owe to the efforts of this holy prelate.

[@Axe-of-Boniface]

I returned to the Church after 30 years, with a fiance and two toddler sons. It was a few months before the plandemic. My sons were still not baptized and my fiance was in the middle of chatechism when our diocese closed entirely. I decided to meet with an SSPX Father because they were the only catholic church near me smart and/or faithful enough to remain open. The difference in his concern for our souls was tremendous. When I had originally made a 25 year overdue confession with a diocesan priest, he did not make me afraid for my soul. I literally asked him if Hitler and Stalin are in heaven drinking cappuccino together, he did not have a firm answer. On the other hand, when my fiance and I left our meeting with the society priest, we looked at each other for the hour drive home and said "that was the real deal." No one cared enough for our souls to let us know how much of a state of sin we had been living. Every society priest I meet is RICH in doctrine & theology. Confession with them takes courage and requires a notebook for the advice. Lefebvre made this possible, I would hope god is pleased.

[@waynenoll1967]

Absolutely! We went because they weren’t mandating masks, we were kind of hesitant because of their irregular status but left saying the same thing as you; this is the real thing! They truly put the salvation of souls first!

I don't know the whole story of Fr.Lefebvre. The beginning of this movie is so impressive- the movie froze, but I will come back and finish. In past I saw him as dead wrong in the little I knew of him. But now in light of so much we've experienced and witnessed of so much church capitulation with the world, I want to learn so much more. Your story touches me also. It is so much in the heart like mine. I left the Roman church for 9 years. Came running back after two years Bible study of Exodus. I have been back in the Church since my youngest was in third grade(she is now 27). But my entire life since 4 th grade has been spattered with controversy , friction, and confusion , and much hurt while in the Roman church. I stayed, always looking for that old Church ZI experienced and loved as a child! I'll never forget that Tuesday morning very early in the 'pandemic' when we heard the news our governor was planning on closing our churches as 'non-essential' '. I was stunned but by grace of Hod realized much of what was coming-- and felt we all must jump in to help our priests be able to get the Sacraments to everyone. I thought we all must spring into action. That same morning I called the beloved parish priest to offer my help in what're would be needed........... Never got an answer! Except the one we most all know-- the Roman church as a whole-- minus a few heroes--folded! Abandoned us, and have capitulated so much with the new world order! WHAT HEART BREAK! By the Grace of God, I had been introduced to the Eastern side of the Catholic Church a few years before this and had visited three times. To my delight , God's Glory abounds there in their temples and Liturgy! The priests and Deacons love us with the Love of God, and cared for ( and continue to care for) all of us and especially our Souls!! I have found the True Faith again.❣️ So much that words cannot express and a much deeper, more personal relationship with atheism Father, Son, and Holy Spirit! I am so grateful! Because of this experience, I can relate so much to you. And, I want to learn more so I can understand more of what's going on with your Church. We all must continue to pray for each other. God bless you and lead us all to the Truth He has for us💕

[@kashu66]

All I can say is that friends of mine with a family of ten children in the late 1970's saw their children losing their Faith. They removed them sending their children to the SSPX school in Switzerland. They all kept the Faith with one being a priest and another a religious sister. The proof is in the pudding!

folks, if you claim to be true Catholics, don't forget, like St Padre Pio, if the Pope tells you directly, or X Cathedra, you gotta abide by it. Padre Pio accepted sanctions from the Pope for ten years until God sent somebody to straighten out the Pope!!! And lift the sanctions. Turns out there were some very high ups who told the Pope, that Pio was a fake - they actually knowingly lied.!!!! Read "Infiltration" if you want to know how such malicious catastrophes happened. Also read a short biography of Bella Dodd, to learn how good people are sucked into bad things. Also read "murder in the thirty third degree. Seek and u shall find.

[@zihero5127]

After trying to have a child for some time, me and my wife decided to pray to Lefebvre for a child. We said: "If you are a saint, please ask God to give us a child next month". That is exactly what happened. Now little Joseph is on the way (since I promised St.Joseph I will name my first son after him). However, if God gives me another son, we promised he will be named Marcel.

[@CathPresbyter]

@@The12thSeahorse Wait he is not considered a schismatic. Even according to the new code of canon law, he is not guilty of schism. Schism means he is outside of the church, but numerous prelates in the Vatican have said the PX issue is "in house" this means they are still in the Church. Pope Francis would not have been able to give faculties to their priests for hearing confessions unless he thought they were in house. We wouldn't be discussing recognizing the marriages if they were outside, because we already recognize marriages of non Catholics. So anyone who calls him or his society schismatic does not understand the canonical particularities. Rather they would say the priests of the society are irregular, not schismatic.

[@pamelapolster2055]

As a child brought up in the Novus Ordo Mass, I was never introduced to the Traditional Latin Mass until very recently. My parents and grandparents grew up with the Latin Mass. I feel like I have really missed out! I went to a TLM in Milwaukee this past January and I felt like I was in Heaven! I am inspired by Arch Bishop Lefebvre; such a holy and pious man! Thank God he never let this most ancient and Holy Mass die out. What a legacy he left. Arch Bishop Lefebvre, pray for us!

[@TheAmosTree]

What are your thoughts on What about FFSp or ICKSP?

[@AgentClaytonWebb]

Same here. I grew up in an atheist household, had to wait till I was 18 to join the RCIA program. I’m 37 now, all I’ve known is the Novus Ordo and only just discovering the true Traditional Latin Mass and I find myself more drawn to it… the Catholic Church needs to go back to the one true and unadulterated Holy Mass! What Francis has done further to the Traditionalists is sinful and heresy in my opinion… God willing we will have another conclave soon. I don’t want globalism, I don’t want communism, I don’t want the WEF doctrine and I don’t want Francis’ ideas for the Holy Mother Church. We should pray he either has a conversion or that we have a new conclave.

[@michaelp0819]

Same here! I attended Catholic schools from the mid-60s to the late 70s - K-12. I was an alter boy for my church and a nearby Franciscan mission. Then lapsed. I attended my first TLM two weeks ago - it was incredible. Now, I can’t stop reading about the TLM and church history. Arch Bishop Lefebvre and SSPX are inspiring!

[@rosiegirl2485]

Submitting to "The Church" is a part of being Catholic. We have survived good Pope's, as well as bad Pope's before, and we will survive Pope Francis as well. We need to follow the Saint Padre Pio model...not the Martin Luther and John Calvin model. Myself, I want to stay safely under the umbrella of Rome, with the FSSP and leave the SSPX to work things out. If our Lord wants the TLM preserved...His Will, will be done! Have faith!

[@martiejude625]

​@@rosiegirl2485there wouldn't have been an FSSP or ICKSP etc., were it not for Abp Lefebvre and Bp De Castro Meyer. Absolute fact! There wouldn't have been any TLM celebrated in the world, were it not for Abp Lefebvre. The SSPX pray for the pope daily. Not just during The Canon, but in Common, in their seminaries, priories etc. Oremus pro Pontifice nostro, Francesco. A great prayer of The Church, no longer used in N.O.. The SSPX are not excommunicated. Not in schism. Certainly not heretics. They are within The Church, not regularised. Sunday and Holy Day Obligations are fulfilled by attendance at Mass in their churches, Mass Centres etc. Their sacraments are valid and licit. Pp Francis has provided permanent faculties/celebrets, so they can celebrate Holy Mass and confer Sacraments, including, Penance and Matrimonies, in conjunction with Local Ordinaries. No sin in being a parishione, attending Mass/ceremonies or receiving sacraments under the usual conditions.

[@nifty1940]

Yes, but that enthusiasm was beyond adolescence, it was deadly! Bob Dylan summed it up: The times they are Achangin'. Oct '65 was the tipping point for us. I can pin the date because of the numbers of Priests, Nun's and religious who left their orders beginning from that time.

[@luissantiago8446]

@@nifty1940 Your assessment is spot on. 1965 was indeed a crucial and pivotal year in many aspects. I lived through that period and remember it quite well. The country, the Church and the civilized world took a dramatic turn after that year, which led to cultural, social and political upheavals that have continued to the present day. It has proven to be a mighty misfortune, that Christ's Church chose to get caught up in the zeitgeist of the 60s, and not not remain true and faithful to her calling and purpose. Instead of rooting Herself in her God given mission and status, She opted to be dictated by a wayward, confused and transient world. A world not moored in fealty to God given principles, let alone common sense. Modernism was allowed free reign and has infected the general order of things. This insidious heresy is in fact no longer seen as one by most Catholics, and accepted as matter of fact normal. The dichotomy between the present Church and what preceded the Council could not be more pronounced then it is today. All the more reason why Archbishop Lefebvre's struggles were born out of a state of necessity. The man was a hero and champion for the Faith, and should be lauded as such.

[@CowboyBike06]

Every Protestant can learn great things about faith in God through this brave man and true child of God! Timely is right. It’s not the Catholic faith that should be attacked, but only those who seek to worship evil over God Himself, within the Catholic Church that is wrong. Time will see that all of the evils will be brought to light that take place in Rome (Vatican City itself), City of London - to include the Royal Family, Washington DC, and elsewhere. Ask yourself why the Pope’s auditorium looks exactly like a snake with him standing in the mouth of the serpent? The Pope’s have sold themselves to the devil. This I believe is the last secret of Fatima. I recall a documentary in which an artist depicted the final secret as told to him by Sister Lucia (I am unclear on this, it may have been another priest that new what the secret was). The painting was of a Pope (that looks very much like the last several popes) with terrified children crawling all over him and reaching for the roots of trees up above them. It looked like the Pope may have been underground? It was very hard to see what message was being expressed 40 years ago, but it’s becoming clearer as time goes on. My heart breaks. God must be furious with all of us. Repent! Believe in God’s word. Our Faith in God will set us free!

@@colajax In direct contradiction to the orders of Pope St. .John Paul II. Mr. Lefebvre caused schism and the religion he created is schismatic.

[@saintchadofmercia680]

@@ljones436 Archbishop Lefebvre did not create a Schism. Consecrating Bishops without Papal approval involves excommunication but not schism. Even then, the excommunication cannot be valid since Archbishop Lefebvre sincerely believed that there was a crisis in the Church and believed by consecrating these Bishops he was saving the Holy Tradition of the Mother Church. Just like St. Athanasius disobeyed the Arians, Archbishop Lefebvre disobeyed the Modernists!

@@ljones436 he didn't create a religion. What are you talking about!? He preserved the Holy Mass that had been said for 1600 years. The fake schism religion was the Novus Ordo clown mass.

This was absolutely beautiful and inspiring. I’ve been thinking about it for awhile, but now from this I feel moved to seriously consider discerning the Priesthood with the SSPX. Christ’s Kingship must reign.

[@raysoileau9319]

Joshua Reagan if you’re considering discerning the Priesthood with the SSPX I would definitely say give it a try to see if that is God’s call for you. I once went into a vocational discernment program but I never did actually go into a seminary however what it led me into was to do pro life missionary work on a national level. Even though the priest I was working with has been dead since 2012 I still occasionally still do that type of work despite the fact I do now have severe disabilities.

[@Kyntai]

The 1986 Assisi prayer meeting is one of the worst scandals in Church history. What a complete catastrophe. Lefebvre was correct about it ruining missions. Now the prevailing error is that nearly everyone goes to Heaven no matter what they believe and do. The SSPX has been instrumental in keeping the Faith alive, no doubt about it.

[@myleshagar9722]

While working in China, I met many African students at church. After Mass, they had a Bible Study and showed very strong formation and commitment. For me, coming from Canada, it was quite surprising. The young leader said, "Today we continue our study on holiness". I never heard such talk in Canada. Now I realize this experience was partly the result of Archbishop Lefebvre's work in Africa bearing fruit 60 years later in China!!!

[@andrewdaniels9698]

If all religions are equal, this means that the suffering and blood of the willing sacrifice of our Lord is on a par with Aztec priests offering up the hearts and blood of captive (and reluctant!) victims. Sorry, not seeing it. Sacrifice of a human must be self-sacrifice, not the slaughter of the unwilling. It has to have its roots in love. Just sayin'.

I went to the SSPX in my neighborhood in Geneva. I had been going to the TLM for a year or two previously. The SSPX had confessions before and even during Mass. There are Rosaries in the back of the chapel. They take catachesis seriously. Their priests ate very dedicated and travel so much each weekend to bring the Mass and the sacraments to people.

[@michaellamb5534]

I mistyped my previous post. It should read their priests are very dedicated.

What a fervent Catholic Priest. His love for the faith is so intense you can see it clearly in all the pictures esp the ones where he is a missionary! I never knew that about him.

I had the good fortune to be able to meet Abp Lefebvre 3 times when he visited our church, Queen of Angels in Dickinson Tx. He exuded sanctity-he was calm, courageous, confident-he had a peaceful air about him, as if he was certain that what he was doing was right. The last time he visited our church, he autographed my breviary, and it is among my most prized possesions that I'll never part with.

l am 88 years old and I was dismayed when the changes in the Church were announced. Changing the Mass from Latin into the Vernacular horrified me, I felt the unity would be lost. I felt it when I went on Holiday to a Portuguese speaking country and could not follow the Mass. I tuned into the Vatican more recently and realised that the centre of Christianity did not unify the Church but divided it. We must return to the Latin Mass and stop the Pope from dividing the Church even further. Pray the Rosary in Latin every day for the restoration of the CHURCH

With Rome having lost the Faith. The Church deep in heresy and corruption, and more in financial, sexual and political scandals. With the reputation and authority of the Church in tatters and no longer respected, now seems to be hardly the time for their irregular status to reconciled. Reconciliation will happen when the Catholic Church becomes Catholic again. Say what you want, but Rome is hardly Catholic these days.
