Fr. Hesse Audio & Video

This is Fr. Hesse’s conference on the Third Secret of Fatima and arguably his most popular talk of all time. You can read Fr. Hesse’s articles about the Third Secret of Fatima and the consecration of Russia in the following Fatima Crusader articles: https://web.archive.org/web/20170614102205/http://www.fatimacrusader.com/cr66/cr66pg18.asp https://web.archive.org/web/20170629144342/http://www.fatimacrusader.com/cr65/cr65pg09.asp https://web.archive.org/web/20170616003244/http://www.fatimacrusader.com/cr63/cr63pg03.asp In this video, at 47:33, Fr. Hesse alludes to the fact that, in 1991, certain people in the Vatican publicly presented someone as Sr. Lucy of Fatima who was NOT truly Sr. Lucy of Fatima (fraud). To read more about the recent detailed scientific evidence proving this and a double Sr. Lucy, please see: https://sisterlucytruth.org/ This evidence includes professional facial analysis, handwriting analysis, and professional reports by the following specialists: plastic surgeon, oral surgeon, dentistry, and forensics, among other evidence. Notable parts and quotes of Fr. Hesse in this talk: About the contradiction of Cardinal Ratzinger (now Pope Benedict XVI) of publicly stating that the Third Secret is about the End Times and then later he says it is nothing else other than the 1981 FAILED attempt on Pope John Paul II’s life. “And it’s quite interesting to see that both Archbishop Bertone and Cardinal Ratzinger – not to forget Cardinal Sodano, the Secretary of State – HASTENED to affirm that the Third Secret MUST be essentially dealing with the poor present Pope’s fate in 1981.” “[…] he delivers conclusive proof with all the details needed that EVEN IF this published vision was authentic, it would only be one of the two parts of the Secret.” About Cardinal Ratzinger's incorrect statement about prophecy which contradicts what the Church Fathers, the Doctors of the Church, and St. John of the Cross said about prophecy. Someone may have had access to the Third Secret and the safe it's kept in. “Whatever it is […] the Vatican must have a very serious reason for publishing a document that cannot hold: NO WAY, pretending that this would be the Third Secret.” About the mass media’s strange and interesting way of dealing with the Third Secret of Fatima. St. Francis of Assisi’s prophecy about a long period of sedevacancy. How the Third Secret publication handwriting could be made by software. About the fake conversation with Sr. Lucy and Bertone. “[…] why would I believe that his conversation with Sister Lucia is authentically reported? Why? How do I know – we’re all human beings, we’re all capable of sins. How do I know that he is not capable of lying? I have absolutely no guarantee for that: on the contrary.” About why we can’t presume Cardinal Ratzinger hasn’t lied and about how “we are dealing with a strategically intended hoax.” “I do not know why that publication was done now, I do not know what is the strategic purpose of this strategic diversion, of this deception, of this perception management. But I know it is perception management. It is deception: diversion.” “And I say it again: It has to be and it cannot be anything else: it has to be the diversion from what I believe to be the actual Secret of Fatima announcing Vatican II, the apostasies, the heresies after Vatican II, and [heresies] IN Vatican II.” Cardinal Ratzinger’s error on prophecies and his blasphemous heresy about the Immaculate Heart. “Therefore, I cannot see any other sense in that quoted publication [the supposed Third Secret released by the Vatican in 2000] but to hide the disastrous effects and disastrous contents of a council that I do not believe for one minute was a [valid] council and that I do not believe for one minute was [an act of] the [infallible] Magisterium of the Church.” “And at the same time I refuse to believe that something can be Ordinary Magisterium – which is what the documents of Vatican II claim to be – that would not have received the permission for print by the Popes or the Magisterium prior to 1960 [or prior to the 1960s].” About a priest who claimed to have heard the real Third Secret. Fr. Hesse comments on why there is no outcry of priests, bishops, cardinals, religious, and lay faithful and why they keep on following the Vatican despite this obvious cover-up. Fr. Hesse categorizes priests into four different groups: those who blindly obey superiors without questioning, the brainwashed, the “just plain stupid”, and the group who see through the lie of the publication but they don't want to lose their money, retirement, position, etc. On obedience and true vs. false obedience (excess vs. defect). About Cardinal Stickler. Fr. Hesse talks about the human government aspect of Rome and how many prelates (and lay faithful) fall into papal idolatry. “Sources told me that on more than one issue Cardinal Ratzinger was not in agreement with the Pope and offered his retirement, offered his relieve, but the Pope kept him.” Suspicions about the timing of the Third Secret release date and the death of Fr. Malachi Martin. Fr. Hesse talks about what he thinks the Third Secret of Fatima could have been. “The Third Secret of Fatima must – it’s bound to contain the crisis of the Faith since Vatican II. Therefore, it must in some way mention Vatican II. There is no way around that.” Pope John XXIII’s deal with Moscow about which he lied in public. Fr. Gregory Hesse, S.T.D., J.C.D., S.T.L., J.C.L., Canon Lawyer, Doctor of Thomistic Theology, lifelong friend and personal secretary of Cardinal Stickler at the Vatican from 1986-1988 has provided us with many talks and conferences where he gives a no-nonsense, intelligent, learned, and witty exposition and explanation of relevant topics facing contemporary faithful Catholics. Fr. Hesse got to know approximately 45 cardinals while studying and working in Rome for 15 years and he has an uncanny and substantial knowledge of many things. You would be hard-pressed to find another theologian quite like him. Canon Hesse was related to the Hapsburg royal bloodline. He was born in Vienna in 1952, ordained by Cardinal Marella in St. Peter's Basilica on November 21, 1981, and earned doctorates in Canon Law and Theology from the Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas (Angelicum) in Rome. He worked as a personal secretary of Cardinal Stickler at the Vatican from 1986 to 1988. He passed away on January 25, 2006. You would be hard-pressed to find another theologian quite like him. A breath of fresh air in today’s widespread climate of many weak, ignorant, and naive clerics and theologians, he was affectionately called by several of his friends during his life “the bull in the china shop.” His example, testimony, and insights no doubt played and will play an important role in Catholic thought and development.

In this video, Fr. Hesse goes over proper distinctions; discusses the Vatican document Ecclesia Dei and how it pronounces material heresy, schismatic statements, and is in error; he goes over the correct definition of Tradition and how Vatican II handles it; he touches on the 1988 episcopal consecrations of Archbishop Lefebvre; he talks about errors in Vatican II documents; and talks about whether the New Mass is a valid sacrament. Notable parts and quotes of Fr. Hesse in this talk: Fr. Hesse gives an introduction to going over the document Ecclesia Dei and how and why this document pronounces material heresy, schismatic statements, and is in error. “In one and the same document [Ecclesia Dei] we face double heresy, a major error in moral theology, and as far as canon law is concerned: a lie.” “The sad thing is that we have several groups in the Church that base their very existence on this heretical, schismatic, and fraudulent document.” Fr. Hesse talks about a statement in Gaudiem et Spes that is “downright Satanism.” “Documents like this cannot be accepted and who does it ceases to be a Catholic. Therefore, if a priest of the Fraternity of St. Peter is honest and is good and is likeable and lovable—he might be personally, and as much as I might appreciate his efforts to keep the old Mass going—the moment he tells me that Vatican II can be interpreted in a Catholic way—(he personally might not know better or understand better)—but the moment he says that, I will entirely distrust him for all kinds of theological judgements because then I can see [that] he doesn't even recognize heresy where it is so patently evident.” “The Holy Spirit is still with the Church. The Holy Spirit made sure that the new missal was never made obligatory with a papal signature. There is no such thing as a papal signature on the obligation to use that horrible book called ‘the new missal.’” “The Holy Spirit takes care. At the same time the Holy Spirit made sure that Vatican II never defined anything. As a matter of fact, there’s an explicit term on that. Pope John XXIII said ‘this Council does not want to define or condemn.’” Here he begins to get to the greatest detail about the question if the New Mass is valid or not. Fr.

A conversation with Fr. Hesse from October 2002. Notable parts and quotes of Fr. Hesse in this talk: Commentary of Fr. Hesse on the (then recent) “canonization” of Josemaría Escrivá during the same week it took place. Regarding this issue of doubtful modern beatifications and canonizations, I highly recommend this list of articles by the SSPX: http://sspx.org/en/news-events/news/list-doubts-canonizations-3960 Canon Hesse was asked if Pope John Paul II was a heretic and he answers. “Innocent III said, reminding his successors in the papacy: ‘Don’t ever think that because you cannot be judged by men, that that is a sort of relief to you. The less a man is judged by men, the more he will be judged by God!’” “Who's going to listen to the present pope anyway? The liberals don't listen to him because he's too conservative. The Opus Dei doesn't listen to him because it's more powerful than the pope anyway. The Jewish Masonry – the B'nai B'rith – the brothers of the covenant – are not going to listen to the Pope because they tell the pope what to do anyway. That's what Cardinal Ciappi said on his deathbed. I'm quoting Cardinal Ciappi. Don't sue me for that. I mean they're not listening to the pope anyway. The liberals don't listen because he's too conservative. We cannot listen because we know he's wrong.” Fr. Hesse talks about what Fr. Malachi Martin told him about a line in the Church-approved apparition of La Salette that was universally censured that foretells “two worm-ridden popes.” Fr. Hesse discusses which of the recent Popes he thinks are most likely these two worm-ridden popes. Fr. Hesse discusses phenomenology (a philosophy Pope John Paul II heavily subscribed to). Fr. Hesse talks about collegiality (in terms of the college of bishops). “[What if all of you were machine-gunned down?] Who of you would go to Heaven, who of you would go to Purgatory, and who of you would go to Hell? This is the only interesting question in life: the only interesting question in life.” Fr. Gregory Hesse, S.T.D., J.C.D., S.T.L., J.C.L., Canon Lawyer, Doctor of Thomistic Theology, lifelong friend and personal secretary of Cardinal Stickler at the Vatican from 1986-1988 has provided us with many talks and conferences where he gives a no-nonsense, intelligent, learned, and witty exposition and explanation of relevant topics facing contemporary faithful Catholics.

This video is the third of three videos of conversations with Fr. Hesse where a wide variety of topics are discussed, including the Third Secret of Fatima. Notable parts and quotes of Fr. Hesse in this talk: Fr. Hesse talks about how the Vatican cover-up and lies about the Third Secret of Fatima is an indication that the Church crisis is worsening. Fr. Hesse talks about how the consecration of Russia has not been properly done. Fr. Hesse answers the question whether he thinks it is suspicious that the Vatican didn’t release the (incomplete) publication of the Third Secret until Fr. Malachi Martin died. Fr. Hesse talks about what he thinks the Third Secret of Fatima could have been. “It has to be one thing: […]” “[…] And [Our Lady] knew NOTHING about Vatican II? Who’s going to believe that? She knew about those 55 or 60 million people that died in World War II and she knew NOTHING about ONE BILLION Catholics being deprived of the truth by what is going on since Vatican II? She didn’t know about that? That is impossible. It’s not improbable: it’s impossible.” “The Third Secret of Fatima must – it’s bound – to contain the crisis of the Faith since Vatican II. Therefore, it must in some way mention Vatican II. There is no way around that.” Pope John XXIII’s deal with Moscow about which he lied in public. Fr. Hesse discusses why Quo Primum was an infallible, irreformable decree and he refutes a counter-argument which tries to claim otherwise. Devil's advocate question posed to Fr. Hesse: Why is not the Society of St. Pius X not the same as Martin Luther? Devil's advocate question posed to Fr Hesse: What gives the SSPX the right to say they will not listen to the pope and to ordain priests? How if someone accepts a certain statement in the Vatican II document Gaudiem et Spes, they cease to be a Catholic (objectively speaking). “The present Pope’s statements – I’ll give you one – are at least blasphemous, if not heretical.” “The present Pope also merits to enter the Guinness Book of World Records because he managed to pronounce three heresies in one paragraph.” “So here we have a Pope who mentions three heresies. I don’t know if he wanted to be a [material] heretic – we’re not interested in that – but in one sentence he says three wrong things. In another sentence he blasphemes. In his first encyclical, Redemptor Hominis, he does not ONCE mention the word Roman Catholic or Catholic Church. He talks about the Church of the Council, he talks about ‘the conscience of the Church’ – six times in one page – and he talks about ‘the Church of the New Advent’ – whatever that may be: it is not the Church that I belong to and that I was baptized into and that I work for and that I’m ready to die for. I’m not ready to die or work for ‘the Church of the New Advent.’” “Who’s the Catholic here?” On baptism of desire and the possibility of salvation of those who are not Catholic. “I have complete and total trust in God’s Justice. He’s not going to send anybody to hell who DEFINITELY doesn’t want to go there. There’s two [types of] people who go to hell: the ones who want to go there like Martin Luther and the ones who don’t CARE if they go there or don’t try hard to avoid it. God is not going to send to hell anyone who most definitely tried his best not to go there. My faith in God’s Justice is INIFNITELY higher than my faith in my fellow human beings.” Fr. Hesse addresses an objection of a sedevacantist. “[…] So why wouldn’t it be logical – now the Vatican is full of schismatics – that they would be the first ones to call the last Catholics […] Why wouldn’t automatically – think strategically of course, which I know you do, but – for the sake of argument: Isn’t it obvious that the greatest schismatics of our day – which are the ones that try to tell me that I should really say the New Mass – would call those who don’t schismatics. Obviously. I mean most of time it’s the greatest idiot who calls everyone else an idiot.” “I happen to be the one person who has recorded on tape all of Archbishop Lefebvre’s sermons and speeches in the German language on cassette tape. And I was asked to do so by the former Superior General of the Society of St. Pius X, Fr. Franz Schmidberger.” “There is not a single human soul in Heaven without sanctifying grace. Without sanctifying grace, the fire of God would burn 10,000 times hotter than hell. Hell is an act of mercy. God gave hell to those who hate Him out of mercy. Their pain would be ten billion, ten to the 99th potency higher if they had to face Him without wanting Him, so He shut the door.” Fr. Hesse on patriotism. Fr.

This video is the second of three videos of conversations with Fr. Hesse where a wide variety of topics are discussed. Notable parts and quotes of Fr. Hesse in this talk: About arguments and who has the truth in arguments. “One of the reasons why I’m not in all too familiar and good terms with the Conciliar Church is because they would want me to quote Vatican II, and after having stopped quoting Vatican II, to quote Paul VI and John Paul II. And they’re highly embarrassed when you come up with quotations that are from the Council of Trent or Pope Pius X that proves them wrong because they’re not interested in the truth; most of the time they defend a certain political purpose or they just want to be right.” “I’ve never been interested in if I [personally] was right [in any given argument/debate]. I’m interested in WHAT is the truth, WHAT is correct, WHAT is right.” “See: this is no way of arguing theology. In theology, you do not: never, ever try to hook somebody else to his own quotation. REAL theology – the way St. Thomas dealt with it – the way most of the greatest theologians did: you only want to find out the truth. You’re not interested in what the other one says.” Fr. Hesse talks about which of the new rites of the sacraments he considers valid. Fr. Hesse talks about what Archbishop Lefebvre said about the validity of the new sacraments. Why he thinks the validity of the new rite of Confirmation is doubtful. Fr. Hesse answers the question, “Can a priest or a religious, bishop, archbishop, cardinal, or pope be a Mason?” Then Fr. Hesse addresses the rumor going around that one of the bishops who consecrated Archbishop Lefebvre as a bishop was a Freemason. Fr. Hesse discusses the Knights of Malta. Fr. Hesse talks about secret societies and about the Opus Dei. “Oh, you want a secret society? Try to find out the membership of all the members in the Opus Dei… And you got a secret society! Try it. ‘The Escrivá testimonies’… Excuse me: ‘the Escrivá Witnesses’… language mistake, beg your pardon. The Jehovah Witnesses, the Escrivá Witnesses… Try to find out a full membership list of ‘the Escrivá Witnesses’ […]” Interviewer: “Evidently the Opus Dei: you think there’s something subversive with them?” Fr. Hesse: “Yes, definitely!” “By the way, the founder of the Opus Dei said that he had a doctorate not only in theology but also in canon law. I’ve never found anybody who would show me that. People have asked the Opus Dei to produce the document. And there’s no answer. I’m not saying he’s a liar. I’m just saying: I would like to see it.” Fr. Hesse discusses how Pope John Paul II kissing the Quran was a public act of apostasy (but it might not be considered a formal act of apostasy). Fr. Hesse answers whether beatifications and canonizations are infallible, but he says “he is open to facts” and open to reconsider things more deeply. For a more up-to-date and in-depth study on this matter, see this list of articles: http://sspx.org/en/news-events/news/list-doubts-canonizations-3960 On the indefectibility of the Church. About how the future Pope Paul VI sided with the local Communist union against the Italian state. Fr. Hesse talks about how Pope John XXIII lied. Interviewer: “The American Church is trying to tell everyone that Vatican II was a godsend to the Church.” Fr. Hesse: “Maybe as a punishment.” “Infallibility is THE fashionable error of the century.” (That is, ignorance of the conditions of and an incorrect application of the dogma of infallibility is the error of the century). “So the German bishops got together (in those days they were Catholic)…” Fr.

Fr. Hesse explains why Catholics may doubt whether Vatican II was a valid council. He explains the many reasons why and how Vatican II is different than previous councils of the Church like the First Vatican Council, the Council of Trent, etc., and how not only are we permitted to question Vatican II's pronouncements, but we have a duty to reject them if they contradict previous infallible councils and infallible declarations of Popes.

This video is the first of three videos of conversations with Fr. Hesse where a wide variety of topics are discussed. Notable topics and quotes from his talk: At the beginning of this talk, Fr. Hesse goes over his background, education, and conversion to traditional Catholicism. Fr. Hesse talks about the material schism of the majority of the bishops (those who reject at least one defined doctrine of the Church). Fr. Hesse talks about the sensus fidelium and how it extends to 2,000 years of Catholics and not just the current college of bishops. Fr. Hesse talks about Quo Primum. “Were all these [Popes in previous centuries] idiots and now we’ve got the enlightened man on the Throne of Peter? No.... It's the other way around, believe me.” “The New Mass is the smoke of Satan. The New Mass is something intrinsically evil.” Fr. Hesse talks about the definition of the unity of the Church. “…Vatican II is going against Church doctrine and therefore it’s null and void. That’s it: Vatican II goes directly against the Tradition of the Church, it goes against defined teachings in its document Unitatis Redintegratio on ecumenism. It goes against the defined doctrine of the Church in its declaration on religious liberty when it says that human beings through the dignity of his own nature has the right to choose his religion. This is a sentence that was explicitly condemned by Pius IX in the Syllabus, the Syllabus being a list of condemned sentences: 80 sentences, 80 statements, that the Pope in his different documents condemned and they were put together by the Holy Office under one title: Syllabus Errorum.” Fr. Hesse talks about Annibale Bugnini. “So you ask me, ‘Where’s the Holy Spirit?’ It’s the question over which many friends of mine have lost their theology. Where’s the infallibility of the Church today? Where is the indefectibility of the Church? Where is it? It’s still there! The Holy Spirit protected the Church from a Vatican II that became obligatory. See, they didn’t define anything in Vatican II. On the contrary.” Fr. Hesse answers the question if a Pope was a Freemason, would he cease to be Pope? “To be quite frank with you, the present Pope is a very lousy theologian because his philosophy's all screwed up and I doubt he knows what he's saying.” Fr. Hesse gives perfect examples of horrible Pope John Paul II (material) heresies. He covers multiple heretical statements of Pope John Paul II. About how Fr. Hesse doesn’t judge the Pope personally but in the face of errors and heresies of new Popes, he quotes the infallible Councils and his papal predecessors. Fr. Hesse makes fun of Bayside claiming that UFO's are the vehicles for the demons. Fr. Hesse was asked why the Popes have not consecrated Russia and he offers his “growing suspicion” on why they didn’t publish the Third Secret and haven’t yet gone through with the consecration. Fr. Gregory Hesse, S.T.D., J.C.D., S.T.L., J.C.L., Canon Lawyer, Doctor of Thomistic Theology, lifelong friend and personal secretary of Cardinal Stickler at the Vatican from 1986-1988 has provided us with many talks and conferences where he gives a no-nonsense, intelligent, learned, and witty exposition and explanation of relevant topics facing contemporary faithful Catholics. Fr. Hesse got to know approximately 45 cardinals while studying and working in Rome for 15 years and he has an uncanny and substantial knowledge of many things. You would be hard-pressed to find another theologian quite like him. Canon Hesse was related to the Hapsburg royal bloodline. He was born in Vienna in 1952, ordained by Cardinal Marella in St. Peter's Basilica on November 21, 1981, and earned doctorates in Canon Law and Theology from the Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas (Angelicum) in Rome. He worked as a personal secretary of Cardinal Stickler at the Vatican from 1986 to 1988. He passed away on January 25, 2006. You would be hard-pressed to find another theologian quite like him. A breath of fresh air in today’s widespread climate of many weak, ignorant, and naive clerics and theologians, he was affectionately called by several of his friends during his life “the bull in the china shop.” His example, testimony, and insights no doubt played and will play an important role in Catholic thought and development.

In this video, Fr. Hesse discusses the proof of God and the proofs that the Catholic Church is His one true Church. “One Lord, one faith, one baptism.” (Ephesians 4:5) “…the Church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.” (1 Timothy 3:15) Fr.

In this video, Fr. Hesse discusses the canonizations after Vatican II and its controversies, particularly the canonization ceremonies of individuals the Popes would never canonize prior to Vatican II and the 1960s. He discusses particular cases, including Josemaria Escriva, the founder of the Opus Dei. The original title of this video is “Is a Saint a Saint, if the Saint is a Sinner?”. Fr.

In this video, Fr. Hesse discusses Martin Luther and the ugly truth about his immoral character, his life, and his heretical teachings. This conference was given specifically to address the movement by many Catholics and the Vatican at that time of trying to paint Martin Luther in a positive light. Little did Fr. Hesse know that the year after he passed away, the Vatican would release the infamous Martin Luther Vatican stamp. A great book on Martin Luther is “Facts About Luther”, available for free online here: http://strobertbellarmine.net/books/O_Hare--TruthaboutLuther.pdf Also insightful is “Luther's own statements concerning his teaching and its results, taken exclusively from the earliest and best editions of Luther's German and Latin works”, available for free online here: https://archive.org/details/cu31924029256687 Fr.

In this video, Fr. Hesse discusses how there is a line in the prophecy of Our Lady of La Salette about two worm-ridden popes. He obtained this information from a conversation he had with Fr. Malachi Martin. Fr.

In this video, Fr. Hesse discusses the fallability of the Popes (the capability of them pronouncing error or performing a wrong action) when they are not exercising their authority under the conditions necessary for infallibility. The majority of the time the Popes are not exercising their authority under the conditions necessary for infallibility and hence we must discern their words and actions in the light of the hundreds of Popes of Church history and the infallible pronouncements of Popes and Councils in the 2,000 years of the Catholic Church. We must accept all statements pronounced infallibly by Popes, but must oppose the teachings of modern Popes when they are pronouncing something not under the conditions of infallibility that contradicts the infallible teachings of the previous Popes and councils of 2,000 years.

This is the best talk of Fr. Hesse on the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) and one of his most popular talks of all time. Notable topics and quotes from his talk: “Lumen Gentium 16 says that the Muslims together with us adore one merciful God. This is blasphemy and heresy. [...] They do not adore one merciful God with us but against us because they deny the Incarnation, and they deny the Blessed Trinity, and they use words which I don’t want to repeat here to describe what is the idea of the Trinity, and Vatican II has the blasphemous audacity to speak about them and the Jews praying to the same God we do. This is a thoroughly and entirely Masonic concept that cannot be accepted by any Catholic.” Fr. Hesse begins to go over the history of the censures against the SSPX. “[…] Back in Rome they said the exact contrary, which is typical for conciliar methods: you lie, cheat, and swindle. When you read Vatican II and its footnotes, you will find out that they lied, cheated, and swindled.” “So this is the method of tyrants. They use canon law when it serves their purposes. But they do not understand canon law, they do not understand Divine Law, they do not understand Eternal Law, and they do not understand the meaning of law itself, the purpose of law: justice.” “[…] The Novus Ordo missae is NOT a work of the Church. It has no blessing from the Church and it’s against Divine Law: I’ve proved this.” About Cardinal Ratzinger’s (now Pope Benedict XVI)’s stalling with Archbishop Lefebvre. “The Fraternity of St. Peter was founded for the only and exclusive purpose to get people away from the Society of St. Pius X. Ain’t that nice? An organization like this does not have the blessing of the Holy Spirit because the Church does not do things like this. The Church does not do that.” “[The SSPX] are the only ones who – unlike me, in rather milder terms but very definitely – acknowledge the fact that present Pope’s encyclicals are packed with heresy.” “The Institute of Christ the King, founded by Msgr. Wach: And because I was stupid enough not to see what was going on – and I’d like to have this on tape because Msgr. Wach never tells anybody about it – the Institute of Christ the King could only be founded because I was the bum who made it possible that he had four priests ordained. I’m not going to say how I did it.” Fr. Hesse jokes about the null and void Ecclesia Dei decree “allowing” him to celebrate Mass privately in the old rite. “The faithful have the right – God-given right – to receive the sacraments in their own rite. My own rite is NOT the Novus Ordo of Paul VI of infelicitous memory. My own rite is the everlasting Mass – the Mass of All Times – that is my own rite, not a newly written up rite.” “So I cannot call the Pope a liar because I do not know if he deliberately lies. I can definitely call him ignorant of canon law. That’s not a sin. [...] Ecclesia Dei proves what I say: the Pope does not know his own canon law.” “Just to show you: Rome does not know where they stand. But I can tell you one thing: I know where I stand. Thank God!” “This is not a lawful Church: this is tyranny!” Fr. Hesse answers the question why the veil of blindness is mostly in Rome. “I’ve been asked very often how is it possible that out of 3,000 bishops, 2,994 are following the Novus Ordo and all the heresies of today. How is it possible?” Fr. Hesse gives us an estimate on a percentage. Many of the clergy don’t want to lose their beautiful job (materialism). Many of the clergy are misled and grew up in the new Church and don’t know any better. Some of the clergy are stubborn. Then there are infiltrators. Fr. Hesse on infiltrators and those who want to destroy the Church. On the communist KGB agents. “Only a tiny minority of the members of the Hierarchy are members of the Masonic Lodges. Look: with most of them, why would the Lodges be stupid enough to accept them into the Lodge if they do anyway what they want? The usual priest today, the usual bishop today is nothing else but the useful idiot Lenin mentions so often in his works.” On the fake vs. authentic list of Masons in the Vatican. Fr. Gregory Hesse, S.T.D., J.C.D., S.T.L., J.C.L., Canon Lawyer, Doctor of Thomistic Theology, lifelong friend and personal secretary of Cardinal Stickler at the Vatican from 1986-1988 has provided us with many talks and conferences where he gives a no-nonsense, intelligent, learned, and witty exposition and explanation of relevant topics facing contemporary faithful Catholics.

Fr. Hesse on the Freemasonic infiltration in the Vatican, Secretary of State, Opus Dei, plus more. Notable topics and quotes from his talk: “And [Pope Leo XIII] chose for his secretary of state a certain cardinal called Mariano Rampolla del Tindaro, who unfortunately was not only a MEMBER of a Masonic lodge, but had founded his OWN Masonic lodge. So that's when everything started. […] And when St. Pius X died, one of his own protégé – his own spiritual son – became Pope and that's Benedict XV. […] In 1903, when Leo XIII died, Mariano Rampolla del Tindaro almost became Pope. […]” Canon Hesse explains why he knows this information via the Empress of Austria Zita. “Francis Joseph, the before last Emperor of Austria who reigned between 1848 until 1916, knew that Mariano Rampolla was a Mason. And so he pronounced the century-old veto against Mariano Rampolla del Tindaro by the time he had had two-thirds of the votes. And this is how St. Pius X got elected. […] and this is of course family tradition in the Hapsburgs.” “So in 1903, we almost had a Masonic Pope. In 1914, we got a Pope who could not exactly be called a Masonic Pope, but he was not all too unfriendly towards them.” “[…] Again: naive and too trusting, [Pius XI] appointed a certain Cardinal Gasparri, who had been the Secretary of State under Benedict XV to be his Secretary of State. And Cardinal Gasparri was a sort of spiritual grandchild to Mariano Rampolla del Tindaro. So we get the same [Masonic] tradition going.”” Capranica in Rome: the center of Modernism. Bugnini. “So by the time Pius XII died, the Church was indeed ready for the revolution. Absolutely and totally ready for it. The reason why our dear friend Archbishop Lefebvre always pointed out 1958, 1958, 1958, is simple: people get confused when you tell them the whole story. […] So in 1958, the Church was already in a mess. The only thing is you couldn't see it. Very few people saw it. But Pius XII left a shipwreck and Paul VI sunk it.” “Well, there's very little say about John XXIII. We know he was a Communist because […] And this was the time the three most important factors of destruction in the Church grew: that was during the 19 infelicitous years of Pius XII. The three most important were: (1) the new Popes, (2) the new liturgy, and (3) the Opus Dei.” Montini survived Pius XI’s reign because of Gasparri. “Paul VI established a new church – which I call the counterfeit church – because it calls itself Catholic.” About compromises needed to be promoted to be a bishop and in Rome. How the Conciliar Church is a gnostic sect, which deep down is Satanic. About satanists in the Vatican. “When you want to realize in what a state the Church is, then first you have to see in what a state this Pope is. I believe that this present Pope has never had the Catholic Faith. His documents prove that to me.” Pope John Paul II was superstitious. Fr. Hesse on Rome censures against the SSPX. “Now the Opus Dei is the intellectual nucleus of the Concilar Church: it's the brain of the Conciliar Church. [...] And now his institution is the most powerful within the Catholic Church. They are the ones who serve the purpose of appeasing the conservatives [...] It's the Opus Dei: the brain behind that childish and absurd idea that Vatican II could have a Catholic interpretation.” “The episcopal consecrations of 1988 are very, very easily justified.” “If you don't understand these distinctions, you better don't talk theology.” On Pope John Paul II claiming SSPX in schism. “He's the most heretical Pope in history: definitely. But formal heresy means something pretty clear. This Pope is never clear! The only thing he's clear about is his enjoyment of pagan religions!” On judging the Pope. On Pope John Paul II’s education and background. “I prefer Alexander VI who had children even when he was Pope over Paul VI a hundred times. Alexander VI was a rotten filthy pig but he did not [destroy] the Church.” On Pope John Paul II’s encyclicals. Where to look for leadership today. Fr. Gregory Hesse, S.T.D., J.C.D., S.T.L., J.C.L., Canon Lawyer, Doctor of Thomistic Theology, lifelong friend and personal secretary of Cardinal Stickler at the Vatican from 1986-1988 has provided us with many talks and conferences where he gives a no-nonsense, intelligent, learned, and witty exposition and explanation of relevant topics facing contemporary faithful Catholics.

This is one of Canon Hesse’s best talks on the New Mass. This is Part 2 of 2 of his talk. Notable topics and quotes from his talk: “When you go into modern churches today, you will find that every single church is different. Every single priest is different. Every single sermon is different and every single faith is different.” English better for understanding Mass? Novus Ordo Catholics know less about Mass than traditional Catholics who hear it in Latin. “The New Mass is very accommodating to modern consciences because it doesn't speak about sacrifice, it doesn't speak about penance, it doesn't speak about sin. And isn't that convenient?” “And I tell you in my priestly authority: if you think you can fulfill your Sunday obligation in the New Mass, you're wrong! You cannot!” “Do not go to the New Mass: it's a sin!” New Mass validity vs. licitness Ecumenism: Catholics “take care of everybody except the Catholics.” Connection of Bugnini’s “Novus Ordo Mass” to “Novus Ordo Seclorum” on dollar bills and New World Order. Fr. Hesse answers the question, “Why would the Pope and the Church and the upper clergy in Rome allow the Protestants to write the [New] Mass?” Paul VI contradictions Contradictions in Vatican II: “I mean either it was crackpots or very clever people who signed this document [of Vatican II].” Fr. Hesse answers the question about whether there was an imposter with Pope Paul VI. Where to go to Mass Salvation of non-Catholics? “You cannot accept Vatican II and be a Catholic. That's impossible. And I will show this in my next lecture.” “[…] The Devil is very efficient. And he has a lot of useful idiots to serve him:” the naive who blindly follow the Pope, the brainwashed, and infiltrators. “Unfortunately, I have to say: I have had the doubtful honor of getting to know at least 45 cardinals in Rome – I mean talk to them, meet them – believe me: they're idiots. Many of them. They do not know what is going on because they do not WANT to know.” “[I know a cardinal], the moment you talk about the inacceptability of Vatican II, his reason just blanks out. […] These people have been brainwashed! […] The enemies of the Church in the 1930s-50s had 30 years at their disposal to DRILL and TAME the Catholic clergy into perfect stubborn military obedience.” True vs. false obedience. “I'm interested if I follow the Will of Our Lord manifested in the Tradition of the Church, manifested by 260 popes, and not the last three ones. And if the last three popes want me to do something different than all the 260 popes before, I will tell the last three popes to get lost! And I'm in perfect obedience.” Your responsibility now that you know. Fr. Gregory Hesse, S.T.D., J.C.D., S.T.L., J.C.L., Canon Lawyer, Doctor of Thomistic Theology, lifelong friend and personal secretary of Cardinal Stickler at the Vatican from 1986-1988 has provided us with many talks and conferences where he gives a no-nonsense, intelligent, learned, and witty exposition and explanation of relevant topics facing contemporary faithful Catholics. Fr. Hesse got to know approximately 45 cardinals while studying and working in Rome for 15 years and he has an uncanny and substantial knowledge of many things. You would be hard-pressed to find another theologian quite like him. Canon Hesse was related to the Hapsburg royal bloodline. He was born in Vienna in 1952, ordained by Cardinal Marella in St. Peter's Basilica on November 21, 1981, and earned doctorates in Canon Law and Theology from the Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas (Angelicum) in Rome. He worked as a personal secretary of Cardinal Stickler at the Vatican from 1986 to 1988. He passed away on January 25, 2006. You would be hard-pressed to find another theologian quite like him. A breath of fresh air in today’s widespread climate of many weak, ignorant, and naive clerics and theologians, he was affectionately called by several of his friends during his life “the bull in the china shop.” His example, testimony, and insights no doubt played and will play an important role in Catholic thought and development.

This is one of Canon Hesse’s best talks on the New Mass. This is Part 1 of 2 of his talk. Notable topics and quotes from his talk: The Pope cannot change liturgy. The new liturgy is against Divine Law, was not decreed by Paul VI, but was merely PERMITTED by him. Reasons why we must reject the New Mass and the whole Novus Ordo structure. The New Mass fails in the purposes of Mass. “Here there was an order of Mass published that does NOT mention anymore the first purpose of Mass: the greater glory of the Trinity; it does not mention anymore the propitiatory Sacrifice, […] and it NOWHERE MENTIONS THE REAL PRESENCE OF OUR LORD ON THE ALTAR.” On the Protestants who helped write the New Mass. About manifest intention. “How can you fulfill – I mean this is absurd! – how can you fulfill Sunday obligation by participating in something that is against Divine Law!? It's ridiculous!” “[The new missal] talks about man, man, man, & man. Oh, excuse me: man & woman, man & woman, man & woman, man & woman (we want to be politically correct). It talks about persons: the whole new liturgy is concerned with persons. Let's pray for this person that this person be personalized & personalize herself more personal.” “The priest in Ancient Greece when he was sacrificing different types of animals to the Greek gods […] would not have DARED to face the people instead of facing the statue of Pallas Athena!” […] in no religion ever throughout history there was a sacrifice without an offertory […] Even in those HORRIBLE pagan rites. […] There was never a sacrifice in the history of religion without an offertory until Paul VI came up with the New Mass!” “To call the New Mass a Protestant rite is an insult to the Anglican community because the New Mass goes far beyond that!” “[In the Episcopalian church], there is no altar facing the people. […] There is no such thing as a procession of ridiculously dressed people who line up to say some totally insignificant prayers for some poor prisoners in Nicaragua.” Fr.

In this video, Fr. Hesse explains and defines what is the true notion of Sacred Tradition in the Catholic Church. He contrasts this with misunderstandings and errors common today where there is a distortion of what is truly Sacred Tradition. Among other things, he addresses the well-known Ecclesia Dei document of Pope John Paul II, and how that document has an incorrect concept and understanding of Sacred Tradition that contradicts the definition and understanding of Sacred Tradition of hundreds of Popes and almost twenty centuries of Church teaching. He discusses the background of Pope John Paul II and how that might have contributed to the Pope’s confusion and the errors he made during his pontificate. Fr. Hesse also defines and discusses the sensus fidelium. Fr.

In this video, Fr. Hesse explains and defines what is the true hierarchy of truths. There is a common misconception and error spread around that there are certain Catholic religious truths that are essential and other truths that are non-essential and can be discarded or compromised on. Fr. Hesse explains why it is not possible to reject any defined Catholic dogma or doctrine and that there can be no compromise on truth. He explains what is the authentic teaching of the Catholic Church on a hierarchy of truths, where there are certain truths that are of a higher level (for example, the dogma of the Holy Trinity), but that all truths must be accepted.

This is Canon Hesse’s best overall summary of Vatican II. This is Part 2 of 2 of his talk. Near the beginning of the video, Fr. Hesse explains what is covered in this talk: “[Vatican II] is also exceptional in another regard: it is the first council ever to pronounce heresy. Vatican II as a whole is unacceptable to a Catholic, and after the talk you will see why. Time does not permit to go through all the details of Vatican II so I will point out the most important errors and heresies.” Other notable quotes from this talk: “So what we have here altogether is not only a new church, it is a gnostic sect. […] We’re living in a gnostic sect founded by Vatican II which our dear beloved present pope calls ‘the Second Pentecost.’ And I cannot say Amen to that.” Fr. Hesse answers what you should do if you can't get to a traditional Mass. Fr. Hesse answers the question, “Tell us about the Masons which you think have infiltrated the Vatican.” “The point is you cannot fulfill your Sunday obligation at the New Mass, you must not attend the New Mass, and you must not collaborate with them. Would you work for the local Episcopalian church? Why not? They're much better than what you're working for.” (The Novus Ordo) The question of the validity of New Mass is a secondary point since it’s illicit to begin with. “It took 2,000 years to build the Church to the point where it was and it took 30 years for them to almost tear it down. But rest assured: we will survive thanks to the Society of St. Pius X.” Fr.

Time does not permit to go through all the details of Vatican II so I will point out the most important errors and heresies.” Other notable quotes from this talk: “Vatican II is ambiguous from the first to the last line! Vatican II is contradictory from the first to the last line!” “Now Vatican II should be the first book on the Index [of Forbidden Books] as far as this century is concerned.” “The concept that the Muslims and the Jews pray to the same God we do […] this concept is heresy, it IMPLIES a lot of other heresies, and it is blasphemy. And anybody that tells me that we can interpret this in a Catholic way is to say the least a little bit nuts.” “There's other things in Lumen Gentium that cry out to Heaven for being blasphemous, stupid, and heretical, but we have to go on.” “And the liberty of religion is something in Vatican II that caused many bishops to stop signing documents!” “Liberty of religion has been condemned by the Popes Gregory XVI, Pius IX, Leo XIII, Pius X, Pius XI, Pius XII. You are NOT free to choose your religion! You are BOUND in conscience to choose the Catholic Church and to belong to the Catholic Church. And if you don't, as the Church says it, objectively speaking you cannot be saved.” “So anybody who thinks that he is free to choose their religion might go to hell for it. [...] If I had the freedom of religion, I'd be an Episcopalian for many years already, but I do not have it! I am bound in conscience to adore God in the way that God WANTS me to adore Him! And that means I have to be a Catholic even if it costs me my life! There is no such thing as liberty of religion! Forget it! Forget Vatican II! Let's print a bumper sticker: Forget Vatican II!” “Vatican II is too intelligent to say – they were too clever – to say that the Church contains the Protestant churches and the Orthodox churches and all these other churches, but they said MAYBE those are churches contained in the Catholic Church because they said, ‘The Church of Christ subsists in the Catholic Church.’ For almost 2,000 years the Catholic Church insisted that the Church of Jesus Christ IS the Catholic Church. And it is defined dogma that the Church of Jesus Christ IS the Catholic Church! It's IDENTICAL with the Catholic Church. Nothing outside the Catholic Church is part of the Church of Christ. And nothing of the Church of Christ is outside the Catholic Church. [...] Christ founded the Catholic Church and no other Church.” Fr.

In this video, Fr. Hesse compares the Vatican II documents against Catholic dogma and demonstrates very thoroughly and clearly how many statements in the Second Vatican Council contradict infallibly defined dogma of the Catholic Church, and hence how many statements in Vatican II are erroneous (and sometimes outright heretical) and must be rejected by honest and authentic Catholics. Fr. Hesse explains how it is possible for erroneous and even heretical statements to appear in the Vatican II documents because the statements in Vatican II were never defined and promulgated in such a way that engages the Church’s infallibility as had been done with most previous Church councils. This video is part 3 of 3 videos of Vatican II vs. Church Dogma. An excellent resource on Catholic Dogma that Fr.
