Important Announcement
Mr. Robert Lyons will be ordained a priest on the eighteenth of June, 2000.He will join the Melchite Rite (under the Pope). Thus, while continuing in the marriage state, he will be a priest.
Ever since Our accession to the Chair of Peter on the twenty-forth of October 1998, We have been inviting bishops and priests to join Us in the clerical state. Qualified candidates are few and far between. We have some very young men who have expressed a desire to become priests, but they cannot be ordained until they are sufficiently trained in philosophy and theology and sufficiently matured in the spiritual life.
For many months We have directed the training of Mr. Lyons by books and Email “classes.” It is Our judgment that he has sufficient learning and spiritual growth to assume the work of a priest.
We were asked why We have gone to a married man for the priesthood. Throughout history the Church has always used married men as priests when celibate ones were not available. In the Latin Rite, only celibate men are accepted for the priesthood, but right to the death of Pope Pius XII there were married priests in Oriental Catholic Rites. Hence, Robert Lyons had to leave the Latin Rite and become a Melchite Rite Catholic. Once he is ordained a priest he will receive from Us the privilege to function not only as a Melchite priest but also as a Latin Rite priest. That bishops and priests function in several rites is nothing new in the Church. The fact that very few of you have ever heard of this does not change the fact. Just study Church history for help in this matter.
We feel very much like Noe must have felt as he built the ark at the command of God amid the jeers of nearly all men. All those who jeered at him were lost in the flood, and all those who jeer at Us are destined for a rude awakening on judgment day. We see them mentioned in Apocalypse 13, 7 & 8. “And it was given unto him (the devil) to (tempt) make war with the saints (the baptized) and to overcome them. And power was given him over every tribe and people and tongue and nation. And all that dwell upon the earth adored him (Satan), whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb which was slain from the beginning of the world.” For good measure, We join Our admonition with God’s admonition in verse nine: “If any man have an ear, let him hear.”
Ad Apostolorum Principis
By a special work of divine providence We found in Our documents a very important encyclical by Pope Pius XII which he issued on June 29, 1958, three and a half months before his death. Could it be that it was for this document, that he was murdered on October 9, 1958?The document is named: AD APOSTOLORUM PRINCIPIS Encyclical of Pope Pius XII on Communism and the Church in China, June 29, 1958. Pope Pius XII recognized how difficult it was to continue the Church in China under Communist rule. Nevertheless, he forbade as a universal law of the Church that bishops could ever be appointed without the appointment made by the Pope. He recognized that in history [with the permission or appointment of the Pope] some groups entered into the selection process, but they never had the last word which in effect would eliminate the Pope from the process. This is made clear in numbers 38 to 40.
We quote his firm judgment in numbers 41 and 42: “Acts requiring the power of Holy Orders which are performed by ecclesiastics of this kind [with no mandate from the Pope], though they are valid as long as the consecration conferred on them was valid, are yet gravely illicit, that is, criminal and sacrilegious. To such conduct the warning words of the Divine Teacher fitting apply: ‘He who enters not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbs up another way, is a thief and a robber. (John 10, 1). The sheep indeed know the true shepherd’s voice. ‘But the stranger they will not follow, but will flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.’” (John 10, 4 & 5).
Among other things We added the following to the document of Our predecessor as follows:
“After the death of Pope Pius XII, there were forty years during which there was no living true Pope. Most Catholics followed the Vatican II bishops into Protestantism. Others recognized that John XXIII, Paul VI, John Paul I and John Paul II were not popes, so they remained in the reign of Pope Pius XII. Some groups called these bogus popes real popes, but did not accept their canonical mission from them. The main example of this is the Society of St. Pius X. Others concocted the inane distinction that the bogus popes were materialiter popes but not formaliter popes. Confusion was rampant, and it still runs wild to this day. As time went on, many men made an un-canonical attempt to “Save the Church” by getting themselves ordained priests and consecrated bishops. That procedure alone put all of those men outside of the Church, while they felt that they were great saviors of the Church. When there is no living Pope the first order of business is the election of the pope.
With Our papal election of October 24, 1998, the true Pope again exists in Our person. Without unity with Us, all the bishops and priest in the entire world remain outside the Church. The same is true of all those laity who remain united with them. They are no different than all the men and women who remained outside Noe’s ark during the great flood. All of them drowned by the almighty Hand of God. Outside the Church all men are lost, for it is a dogma of the Catholic faith: “Outside the Church there is no salvation.” Come one, come all to the gate-keeper of the Church, the successor of St. Peter who is the Vicar of Christ.”
The Catholic Bible in Pictures
Space does not permit Us to elaborate on this extraordinary valuable book for young and old. The book has an imprimatur dated 1955. We have ordered it for Ourselves, so in Our devotions and printings We will always have real devotional pictures, some even being in color. The book covers:- The Chosen People of God (Old Testament) from creation until the coming of Christ
- Jesus (New Testament, Gospels)
- The Church (New Testament)

Reverse Paradigm
Good becomes Evil and Truth becomes Falsehood
No way can We send you by newsletters all the important things that are
published from Our Papal Office. We urge all of you who have
access to the internet to access the Catholic website regularly. Reverse
Paradigm is of importance. It shows the hoax involved in the
teaching of evolution where God, heaven and hell are ignored and consequently
denied. It leaves men believing that they are no more than brute
animals as to their conduct and also lacking a future life of punishment
or reward.
What We are concerned about is that the temptations of the devil and the world deceive men so thoroughly that even the elect are deceived. At the time of Christ even the God-fearing Jews were deceived into believing that Barabbas was better than Christ, and to their shame they called for the freedom of Barabbas and the crucifixion of the God-man, Jesus Christ.
History constantly repeats itself. Today the enemies of God and man walk away with nearly all the accolades (ra,ra,ra). John Paul II with all his shenanigans of false and satanic worship remains the hero in the world plus being recognized [erroneously] as the head of God’s Church. We who possess the papacy stand with out-stretched arms at the door of the Church, the only ark of salvation, just as lonely as Noe stood at the door of his material ark the few days before the flood destroyed all those outside of the ark.
Before closing this newsletter We present you with the sweet fragrance of a devotion to Our Blessed Lady, Mary the mother of God. On October 11, 1954 Our predecessor, Pope Pius XII, instituted the feast of the Queenship of Mary [May 31]. We quote from his Encyclical letter: Ad Caeli Reginam, #43, as follows:
“Therefore, let all Christ’s faithful glory in the fact that they are subject to the rule of the Virgin Mary of God who both enjoys royal power and burns with a mother’s love.”Lack of space keeps Us from printing the prayer here. We shall put it into the Catholic website, for those who wish to celebrate that mystery of Our Lady, especially on the feast day which is the always on the thirty first of May.
