The vaticancatholic.com Guide to Cross-Examining Your Priest Before Mass
Is that Mass safe? Use this easy 10 question guide to check. (Note: It takes around 30-45 min to complete)
Hello, this is Brother Michael Dimond from vaticancatholic.com. Did you know that we had a Eucharistic Miracle at our Monastery? Check out that video on our website at vaticancatholic.com.
In these times of great apostasy, it is difficult to find a valid Mass celebrated by a non-heretical priest. Dangerous things like “NFP”, “Divine Mercy”, and “baptism of desire” along with many other heresies are preached at even the most seemingly traditional Catholic churches. That’s why on our website we tell everyone in the U.S., that since we are unaware of any safe Masses to attend that you must stay home and pray the Rosary instead.
We also hope that you do as we say because our Monastery is in need of more support so that we can pay off the loans we took out to run our Russian bot farms. Paying for the heated floor in our basketball court is also pretty expensive too, so we hope you become a true Dimondite believer and agree with everything we say.
But, ok, back to the topic of the “Mass”…
If you are willing, after receiving extensive spiritual direction through our hotline at 1-800-275-1126, you still wish to attend a Mass that you think is safe, we have prepared a set of questions that you may ask the so-called “priest” in order to determine whether it is safe to attend and receive Holy Communion.
Make sure to ensure any priest whose Mass you plan on attending, receiving communion at, and/or receiving any other sacraments from has answered all these questions properly. To be safe, make sure you also have them take a lie-detector test while they talk to you. You also should threaten them to make sure there is no chance of them changing their opinion on any of these questions during Mass. This is important. If the priest lies to you or changes his mind after answering these questions, you have committed a mortal sin by attending his Mass or receiving sacraments from him as they are invalid. These questions will take about 30-45 minutes to complete, depending on the priest.
We actually recommend you stay at home instead and pray 15 decades of the Rosary followed by donating to us and watching our videos. But if you think you must go to Mass, here’s the question checklist to ask:
Were you ordained in the traditional rite of ordination, or was it the post-Vatican II rite?
Correct Answer: "I was ordained in the traditional rite of ordination which is the rite used from 33 AD to until the Council of Nicea. I believe that all rites used after the Council of Nicea are illegitimate."
Do you accept Francis (or the current Pope) as the legitimate Pope, or do you hold a sedevacantist view?
Correct Answer: "I hold a sedevacantist view; I do not recognize Francis as the legitimate Pope but instead believe that the Dimond brothers, being the only non-heretics in the world are the only “acting” Popes. Francis, as proven by the Dimond brothers, is a manifest heretic and is in fact not even a priest, let alone a bishop, as he was not validly ordained."
Do you believe in the possibility of salvation for non-Catholics through 'baptism of desire' or 'invincible ignorance'?
Correct Answer: "No, I do not believe in salvation through 'baptism of desire' or 'invincible ignorance'; I believe salvation is only through the Catholic Church, and only through the Dimondites and their critical messages available on VaticanCatholic.com."
Is it your belief that all who die outside the Catholic Church, without exception, go to Hell?
Correct Answer: "Yes, I believe all who die outside the Catholic Church, without exception, go to Hell. The Salvation dogma is absolute, and I believe that cases like St. Dismas, the Holy Innocents, and St . Emerentiana that seem to disprove this and baptism of desire actually demonstrate that angels at the moment of their death came and baptized them with water. I reject “R.I” however, as he, while claiming this position, does not submit to the authority of the Dimond brothers in all things."
Do you celebrate the Tridentine Latin Mass or an Eastern Rite Liturgy, or do you celebrate the Novus Ordo Mass? Do you eliminate the “una cum”?
Correct Answer: "I celebrate the Tridentine Latin Mass and do not recognize “Francis” by means of the “una cum” " or "I celebrate an Eastern Rite Liturgy that has not been modernized and do not recognize Francis within the liturgy. I am, however, trying to learn how to celebrate earlier rites of the Church and only practice the Tridentine rite, for now, because the Dimond brothers, for now, say it is an acceptable rite of their church."
Do you consider sedevacantists or those who reject 'baptism of desire' to be heretics or in mortal sin?
Correct Answer: "No, I do not consider them heretics or in mortal sin for those beliefs as long as they are in full agreement with the positions held by the Dimond brothers."
Would you impose your views on salvation or the legitimacy of the current Pope on the congregation during Mass or in any other context?
Correct Answer: "Of course, I will ensure that everyone follows the beliefs of the Dimond brothers in all things, and this means that I will only use the writings available on VaticanCatholic.com in my homilies."
Are you financially supported by or do you support groups that hold positions contrary to traditional Catholic teachings?
Correct Answer: "No, I am not supported by nor do I support such groups. I encourage everyone to support the only group that is not contrary to the traditional Catholic teachings held by the Dimond brothers, Most Holy Family Monastery run by the Dimond brothers."
Do you practice or endorse ecumenism with non-Catholic religions in a way that suggests they do not need conversion to Catholicism?
Correct Answer: "No, I believe non-Catholics need conversion to the Catholic Faith for salvation. This includes all “Catholics” who do not listen to the Dimond brothers in all things and financially support them with their whole livelihoods."
If you are an Eastern Rite priest, has your liturgy been revised or modernized in line with Vatican II reforms?
Correct Answer: "No, my liturgy has not been revised or modernized in line with Vatican II reforms. It remains exactly the way that it was practiced before the Council of Nicea ruined everything, and therefore partakes of no whiff of “reform” by any council unless and except such reforms are preferred by the Dimond brothers."

DO NOT USE THIS GUIDE! THIS IS A JOKE TO ILLUSTRATE THE SAD, PARANOID AND SCHISMATIC SEDEVACANTIST OPINIONS OF VATICANCATHOLIC.COM AND MOST HOLY FAMILY MONASTERY
The point is that the Dimond brothers who run “Most Holy Family Monastery” are, in effect telling everyone not to go to Mass. I’ve been arguing with their followers on several forums, but here’s what their own website says:
The best refutation I have found so far is here:
But the best quick refutation is simply to think about what follows from the idea that the Dimond’s view, that everyone but them is a false, counterfeit fake Catholic Church, is true. If the Dimonds are right, and every pope from John XXIII has been an anti-pope, then there is no reason not to question the legitimacy of every pope before him as well, and seeming breaks in the principle of absolute papal infallibility, the point they use to claim that the last six popes have been false, can be used to question every other Pope. If that is true, then papal infallibility is meaningless, as there’s no way to be certain about papal authority due to there being no ability to know who the Pope is, and thus the Papacy is meaningless. I will write more on this in a serious article sometime soon, but for now just ask yourself: is this the Church?:
I get it. I'm not stuffy. I like good use of humor. But this is a very dangerous joke, because it looks very legitimate to an average person, especially if they'r not looking carefully. Just my two-cents.
