Our First Salutations
In the second Epistle of St. John, in the third chapter we read: “He that hath the substance of this world, and shall see his brother in need, and shut up his bowels from him, how doth the charity of God abide in him? My little children, let us not love in word nor in tongue, but in deed and in truth.”When one sees his brother in need and helps him, with a supernatural motive under the influence of grace, the love of God is in him.
One of the greatest tragedies of our time is unfolding before our eyes, coming from the earthquake in Turkey. We see two tragedies. One sees the physical death of so many people, and the second tragedy is that for the most part those people are Muslims, and they are outside God’s Church, outside of which there is no salvation. However, it is possible that some of them will turn to God and make the act of perfect love and/or perfect contrition and thus enter into God’s Church by desire and find eternal salvation. We urge all of you to pray for that grace for the people of normal good will. You are able to help your brother (every one is our brother) in the area of his eternal salvation.
The extreme physical need of our brothers in Turkey will also urge us to help them in any other way that we are able, for the glory of God and the salvation of souls. Praised be Jesus Christ, now and forever. Amen.
Gordon Cardinal Bateman
At Our direction, Cardinal Bateman has returned to Australia, loaded with the sacred powers of a bishop on assignment. Although he has minor health problems he is making his rounds to visit the few Catholics he has in Australia. We used the words a “few Catholics” to express a real tragedy. The satanic leadership of the bogus Vatican II Church has led nearly the whole country away from the true Church into the Novus Ordo sect. This calls for our consideration of his Catholic support. St. Paul used to beg from the wealthy Christians to help the Christians who were in great poverty.Although We do not have the exact figures it seems that his total Catholic population is less than a dozen persons. He does not have even one Mass server. He writes and preaches, and the people have closed their eyes and ears. It seems that they will continue as such until possibly the Three Days of Darkness hits them, and for most of them it will then be too late to turn to God in repentance and love.
Support of the Church
This brings a new burden on the Catholics in the United States. About all he has is his retirement pension and medical care. Some of you may feel urged to help him with some offerings and Mass stipends. The money exchange rate is very high, so sending him small amounts is not practical. Hence, if you want to help him We suggest that you join with others that you know of who are of like-mind and make larger checks and/or money orders. If you do not know others and your alms are small, you can send them to Us, and We will do the book keeping to send the money to him when larger mounts are at hand.We constantly plead with God to send Us the personnel and finances to do His holy work. Some few persons are on the job, but for the most part We feel Our Catholics and interested readers just ignore the command to support the Church. It takes faith to see the service of the Church in your lives even while there are no priests to make rounds to your homes. Being one with Us puts you in the Church, and that alone is a great service. When you have a spiritual problem you are able to contact Us in order to find your way on to heaven. Being without the services of priests is nothing new. You know how the Catholics suffered during the various persecutions.
True support of the Church is very much like prayer. Those who have no fixed schedule for prayer suddenly or gradually give up all prayer and eternal salvation. One is too tired in the morning, and he is too tired in the evening to pray. Then during work and play he does not pray either. Remember this, our lives are useless for eternal reward unless they are powered by actual grace. To increase in merit (to rise higher in heaven) four things are necessary:
- One must be in the state of sanctifying grace. Hence, those in mortal sin are throwing away their lives no matter how good they may seem to be before man.
- One must perform ordinary good works (all sinless acts). Obviously, no sinful act will be remunerated except in the form of punishment. Repentance unto sanctifying grace can turn the whole tragedy around.
- One must perform the thoughts, words and actions for a supernatural motive. This means that one adds to his natural motives (as for example – working to make a living) a new and elevated motive, as for example, for the glory of God and the salvation of souls.
- One must perform the act under the influence of actual grace. In order for an action to be salutary (worthy of a divine reward) it must be performed under the influence of actual grace. If one does not ask God for actual grace by regular prayer, will he have it? Likely not! A set program of daily prayers is absolutely necessary. A hit and miss “program” of prayers is doomed to failure.
Once more We remind you that among the Commandments of the Church is the command to support the Church. If one violates that Commandment, through laziness or ill-will, he can be sure to be punished by God. He may even find that he loses his divine and Catholic faith. In all the world there is no tragedy more terrible than to lose one’s faith, for without faith it is impossible to please God, and thus impossible to get to heaven.
Youth of the Church
We observe that our younger people never even get the concept that they are obliged to support the Church. They spend money on expensive “toys” and they never send a penny to the priest. We remember that a girl used her first handful of money, earned by baby sitting, to buy an expensive toy when she had no use for it except recreation. She gave Us not one cent. Gradually, she became very worldly. She lost all interest in her home. She began a style of life where she had a live-in boy friend, and after a good number of years she married him in a civil ceremony. If she had used her first money to buy a spiritual book and support the Church, that tragic “marriage” might have never happened. Her husband is so hateful that he threatened Us with arrest if We dared to put a foot on their property. They slammed the door in the face of God’s representative, and God will slam the door of heaven to them – unless perchance they repent.Parish
While there was no Pope We could not set up a parish Church, so We did not need many funds. Now that the Church can make a modicum of progress in living quarters We will need support for that. The Pope and Cardinal that you have should not be expected to continue as roving missionaries where We stay at the homes of the Catholics – unless We make missionary journeys.Laborers in God's Vineyard
Since We arrived in Spokane one lady came forward to help Us, first of all to regain Our health and secondly to help Us in the general work of the Church. God gave Us a curable illness, provided there is cooperation in just eating and drinking according to right formulas. We have no medications. A heart attack, diabetes, and or stroke could be debilitating for the rest of one’s life.Follow this through. This lady had been a Religious in a Traditional cult. She gave them her car, and she gave them many years of dedicated service. When her heath broke down they dismissed her and let her fend for herself. Cults show their colors, and they are not beautiful.
We pray daily that God will send laborers into His vineyard, and that He will send Us the means to follow through. The Church is the Mystical Body of Christ. Each part of any body has its special function. To expect the head to walk without legs is ludicrous. To expect the head to do manual work without hands is likewise foolish. The same is true of the Mystical Body. Each Catholic is a part of the Mystical Body, and each Catholic has a role to fulfill. To sit back and do nothing will, indeed, bring not only stagnation but also God’s wrath.
Vocations
Those who have a religious vocation are to step forward and see what can be done about it. We especially are interested in men who have seminary training (some or all of it) in view of becoming priests. Some may want to be Brothers. Likewise, girls may want to become Religious.Those without such a calling must still get involved. They can work around the Church property, and the general public is obliged to support the Church programs by their generosity in contributing to the support of the Church with money, given at regular intervals.
Before bogus Council Vatican II, this sort of life was the norm. Every week the faithful went to Mass, and at each Mass there was a collection. The parishioners came to Mass with their money envelope in their pocket or purse. All are to take their duty to support the Church seriously. Some persons who are highly blessed by God and their honest efforts can come forward to help in the material needs of the Church, thus freeing the priest to give himself up to work in the spiritual field.
On judgment day God will ask how each one has observed the commandment of the Church to the support of their Pastors.
An Important Insight into Our Papal Election
Some readers of Our Newsletters and the Internet ask many questions about the procedure of the papal election. We explained that to the best of Our abilities. All the Catholics of the world, that the conclave commission could find, were invited to join in the election. The process of looking for them took two and a half years of publishing what we Catholics are. Each and every voter had to have a valid sacrament of baptism, to believe everything that God teaches through his Church, and to stand firm in the Church as it was up to the death of Pope Pius XII on the 9th of October 1958.The election process with the Internet was well worked out to make sure that the identity of the voters were made sure. We could go on and on. However, We have a new study that was made. A widow in Australia sent in all the paper work on the election to her lawyer for him to examine. Here is how his response came to us: “He did so and after a time came and told her the election was not only legal, but valid and he accepted Pius XIII as the Pope.”
This was the first time to Our knowledge that such a legal study was made, and the judgment is worthy of consideration for the doubting Thomas’.

Signs of the Times
Our Lord told the people to observe the signs of the times to predict the future. He used the example of the buds on the trees as signaling the coming of Spring. Today there are signs all around us that signal both political and physical disaster. There is little or nothing that we can do to divert them, but we can prepare our souls with more fervor so to profit from them when they occur.Here is how men may cause their own destruction. In Long
Island, New York, they are building a mammoth collider, and the scientists
are not sure that it is safe, and still they go ahead constructing it.
Here is a paragraph from an article in the Internet for July 19, 1999.
The subject is Big Bang machine could destroy Earth, by John Ray
<JohnRay.1776@worldnet.att.net>.
A paragraph reads: “Inside the collider, atoms of gold will be stripped of their outer electrons and pumped into one of two 2.4-mile circular tubes where powerful magnets will accelerate them to 99.9% of the speed of light.”
“The ions in the two tubes will travel in opposite directions to increase the power of the collisions. When they smash into each other, at one of several intersections between the tubes, they will generate minuscule fireballs of superdense matter with temperatures of about one trillion degrees – 10,000 times hotter than the sun.” Could they set the world on fire as spoken of in the Apocalypse? This is a man-made problem, and God can let men punish the world for Him.
There is another omen on the horizon. On May 5, 2000 the (7) planets will be lined up to do untold harm to the world. Scientists are doing all they can to keep that information under wrappers.
The United Nations Organization is taking over, and it is causing havoc. They used to send soldiers into countries to preserve the peace which did not happen. Now they go into countries to make the peace, and de facto, they make war. It behooves all of us to pray for our suffering brothers and sisters.
Physical instruments are turned against us by man, and nature is turned against us by God. On top of that, the political order is turned against mankind by men inspired by Satan.
It is up to each individual to assume responsibility for himself. God created and redeemed man without Himself. However, He will not save man without man’s cooperation.
In the Church and Subject to the Pope
The general principle holds. Only those who obey God will go to heaven. All the rest will be damned forever. The first commandment of God requires that every individual be in the Church and subject to the Roman Pontiff. In Denzinger number 469 we read the words of Pope Boniface VIII given on November 18, 1302. After explaining right social order he said the following:“Furthermore, we declare, say, define, and proclaim to every human creature that they by necessity for salvation are entirely subject to the Roman Pontiff.”There will always be a Roman Pontiff to be subject to. Either one obeys (in the absence of a living Pope) the last true Pope, or when there is a Pope on earth they must be subject to him.
Once that is accomplished the act of perfect contrition will work unto the forgiveness of sin and the obtaining of sanctifying grace. We produced a document on how to make that act of contrition, and we developed a new formula. If you still have not received it, or if you have not learned it, We urge you to insert two words into the formerly used act of perfect contrition. Where it says: “… because Thou art all good…” insert (after all good) the words “in Thyself,” thus making it “… because Thou art all good in Thyself…” Whether it is expressed or not “in Thyself” must be there at least by intention.
One last word! We are looking for fervent and generous souls. Eating and drinking and being merry is what occupied the lives of the people at the time of Noe. May we not be among them and perish. Support the Church so that your two clergymen need not be supported principally by their social security, but by the Brethren.
Those outside the Church with guilt on their part for being outside the Church can never get forgiveness and sanctifying grace. For those in the Church We again give the act of perfect contrition. Memorize it so you can use it frequently and as your last hope for salvation.
Act of Perfect Contrition
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins, known and unknown, not only because I dread the loss of heaven and dread the pains of hell, and not only because Thou art my Creator, my Redeemer and my Sanctifier, but most of all because my sins have offended Thee, my God, Who art all good in Thyself and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy grace, to confess my sins, to do penance and to amend my life. Amen.
Pius, pp. XIII
Sept. 3, 1999
