Valid and interesting points are made in this video. However, some people object to the Pope and Liberal clerics appearing to treat other religions, Protestants and homosexuals with more tolerance and understanding than Traditional-minded Catholics. After all, most Trad-minded Catholics would be considered every day, garden variety churchgoers by pre-Vatican II standards.
The point of the book I sent you “The Problems with the New Mas,” as well as the assertion of others like Fr. Malachi Martin is that there is danger in altering the language of the Mass as spoken about here: (Protestantized Novus Ordo Mass – No Longer the Sacrifice of Christ)

In chapter 30 of “The Life of St. Teresa” she recounts seeing demons around a priest saying mass who was in mortal sin. Here is what she said, Quote: Our Lord Himself told me to pray for that priest; that he had allowed this in order that I might understand THE POWER OF THE WORDS OF CONSECRATION and how God failed not to be present, however wicked the priest might be who uttered them, and that I might see His great goodness in that He left Himself in the very hands of His enemy, for my good and for the good of all.
Fr. Imbarrato said someone can convert to Catholicism after death? Never heard that before. Not exactly in those words. What says Chat GPT AI?
QUOTE:
Can someone repent after death?
Catholic teaching holds that death ends the period during which a person can accept or reject divine grace.
Catechism 1021 teaches:
“Death puts an end to human life as the time open to either accepting or rejecting the divine grace manifested in Christ.”
Consequently, the Church does not teach that someone who dies definitively separated from God can subsequently repent in purgatory.
What about conversion at the moment of death?
This is where Catholic theology becomes particularly interesting.
The Church acknowledges that God can offer grace even during the final moments of someone’s earthly life.
For example, a person who has rejected religion throughout life might turn toward God in sincere repentance immediately before death.
Such a person could die in God’s grace and, if still requiring purification, enter purgatory.
Can non-Catholics enter purgatory? Yes.
Catholic doctrine does not restrict salvation exclusively to people who were formally Catholic during their earthly lives.
Catechism 847 teaches that those who, through no fault of their own, do not know Christ or his Church may attain salvation if they sincerely seek God and respond to grace according to their conscience.
If such individuals die in God’s grace but require purification, they too may undergo purgatory.
The Catholic position is:
- Earthly life: The opportunity for conversion and repentance.
- Purgatory: Purification for those already saved.
- Heaven: Eternal union with God.
- Hell: Definitive separation from God.

What about denominations that believe in women priests, homosexual priests, etc.? Is that grave, unrepentant sin or merely theological differences of opinion? Where do theological differences leave off and objectionable sin begin?
And, again, why treat pious Traditionalists as disobedient outcasts and schismatics (via veritable intolerance and Cancel Culture tactics) and impose less to no censure on Catholic Marxist Liberation Theology clergy, Protestant rebels and others of various religious practices (via dialog and ultra-tolerance)? Some have suggested it’s because the New (Conciliar) Catholics (Fr. Malachi Martin term) are actually closer in belief to them than the Traditional-minded, pre Vatican II faithful. You’ll have to decide that one for yourself.
Isn’t it the word of the Pope, the Magisterium and tradition. If the next Pope says Leo and Francis were heretical, shun them. Is that the word of the day and Catholicism du jour? What if the Pope after that reverses that Pope’s decision and says Francis and Leo were saints and John Paul II wasn’t a saint? I mean, it gets ridiculous.
Could the Keys of the Pope’s authority divorced from historical Catholic objectivity could open the Church up to the moral subjectivity (situational ethics) of a false Pope? Or, would the Holy Spirit ever preclude that possibility?
Apparently, the 3rd Secret of Fatima alludes to apostasy at the highest levels, according to Malachi Martin who read the actual secret. That would suggest that the Church visible might not temporally prevail for a time, but ultimately will according to what Christ himself said. That the gates of Hell will not (ultimately) prevail but might, for a season, seemed to have, viz: suffering > death > resurrection: purgation, illumination, unification.
Just sayin’…
