Tom's Story
Hello to members of the class of 1985. It is now February 26, 2022. I have been learning so much over the past 16 years. It all started when I heard a monk speak about traditional Catholicism on the Art Bell radio program in 2006. The most important thing I learned about from this program was the invalidity of the new mass. This was the service I and others attended while we were at St. Thomas More school. Those services were not Catholic and therefore not masses. The words of consecration had been changed in those services and the meaning was therefore altered. Without the true Catholic meaning present there was no Eucharist present. This is a very serious matter because it involves attendance at a false worship service. The true Church has always taught that approaching a doubtful sacrament is mortally sinful.
I have recognized that I should not have been attending those services and have learned about how to validly confess my error on this matter. No one should be attending the Novus Ordo "Mass" for any reason. (The Novus Ordo "Mass" was created by antipope Paul VI and put into most parishes starting on April 3, 1969. Yes, this is the one most people refer to as "the Mass"). I would encourage anyone who is interested to check out the vaticancatholic website for more information. Just search for "vaticancatholic" in any search engine. It will be at the top of the results. Once you are on the site type "The Invalid New Mass" into the search bar at the top below the words "Most Holy Family Monastery."
If you claim to be a Catholic I would recommend the video on the third secret of Fatima. Please know that it is absolutely necessary to be a baptized Catholic to have a chance at salvation. It is absolutely necessary to be a member of the Catholic Church to have a chance at getting to Heaven. There is absolutely no salvation outside the Catholic Church.
If you are new to Catholicism please see the video “Amazing Evidence for God: Scientific Evidence for God.”
I also have a LinkedIn page. Just search for my name “Tom De Martini” on LinkedIn. On this page I have attached many posts with basic info...Expand for more
rmation on traditional Catholicism and posts regarding secular news items.
There are so many questions that need to be answered in these times. People all over the world have written in and received answers to their questions which the Brothers post in the E-exchanges section. The Brothers will give you the specific information you need if you send them email. Their email is on their website through the link "Online Store & Contact Info."
The best thing parents can do for their children today is homeschooling. Vatican II sect schools--St. Thomas More and almost all others claiming to be Catholic--are not acceptable options. If you want to impart the true traditional Catholic faith to your children Vatican II sect schools will not work. They put your children through a false sacramental system--new rites that do not conform with Catholic teaching on the sacraments. Please search for "new sacraments: the changes to the other sacraments" on the vaticancatholic website for a full explanation. You do not want your children to be subject to Vatican II heretics.
I realize now that I should not have been attending a school where the man claiming to be a priest omits the form (ie. the words) that needs to be present for the sacrament of Eucharist to occur. This is heresy by deed. It is also unacceptable to address this man with a Catholic ecclesiastical title--"Father," "Monsignor," "Bishop," etc. This bothers me because by attending Vatican II schools I would address certain people with Catholic ecclesiastical titles who clearly (as I realize now) did not deserve those titles. Using these titles with heretics gives scandal to the Catholic faith and is sinful.
For this reason alone I cannot recommend Vatican II schools like St. Thomas More. It would be almost impossible to avoid meeting the "pastor" and the resulting request that you preface his name with 'Father,' 'Monsignor,' 'Bishop,' 'Archbishop,' etc. This request for a Catholic ecclesiastical title at a Vatican II (non-Catholic) school makes the environment completely unacceptable and sinful for true Catholic students.
Sincerely,
Tom De Martini
