The Dimond Brothers put out some good material. I especially like
their video on the four last things.

Yes, but they are still extremists.

The last I heard, the Dimond's taught that Pius XII consecrated Russia, and that we had the period of peace right after when Stalin died. I don't agree of course, but that is what they are teaching.

Many sedevacantists, I think, believe the Consecration was done by Pope Pius XII because they think John XXIII through Francis I are antipopes, and so they can't validly Consecrate Russia.

If Pius XII did it correctly, however, then Our Lady lied when she said that Russia would convert, because so far it hasn't converted.

I didn't know where to start to comment, this one, seems to be a good place...

Although, within this topic, I detected several "sub-topics".

A) The Pictures do not match, someone replaced the real Sor Lucía. Either the real Sor Lucía died of natural causes, or she was murdered. We will probably never know that part, but she was replaced by someone.

B) If you are searching for the truth, the best way to keep you from finding it is to make you believe that you have already found it. The Dimond Brothers are in the business of "make believe: I found the truth!!!", and part of the task they do is achieved by adding some truth into the cocktail of lies they have. It can be difficult to separate what is lie and what is true from what they say, most of the time I avoid that source because I regard it as highly contaminated with lies.

If you want to be better informed, you have to read books, real books, not blogs or forums. There were many Catholic writers who wrote a lot of books preventing the Catholics about the dangers that were coming, and all of that was long time before Vatican II was even announced.

Most of those writers were French, and wrote in French Language, on a magazine called R.I.S.S. , you can probably find some English translations, but I've never seen any. Until now, I have seen only Spanish Language translations from Pierre Virion's Books. If you read that, you will have on your mind somethings like an "antidote" that would help you to discern truth from lie these days.

It also happens often that the topic of the crisis of the Catholic Church is addressed, most of the time, from what appears to be Marcel Lefebvre's point of view. I think, it can be useful to get to know what did the pre-lefebvrian Catholics think about the crisis before it even happened.

No, the views are not "identical", perhaps not even "similar", and in some points "contradictory".

I am under the impression that Catholics these days have very few sources of information, and that's why many end up buying into the lies of writers like Malachi Martin, and many others. Of course, I could be wrong, I know.

Maybe you guys already know all of this, but I am saying it just in case you'd like to dig even deeper, and deeper, and deeeeeeeeeeper.

C) The Consecration has never been done, any material Pope since John XXIII could have converted to Catholicism, then become a real Pope, and performed it as requested, but this has not happened yet. Therefore, it is most likely to happen during Francis I papacy, right after his conversion.

We should be rather be wondering what kind of events must take place for someone like Him to convert to Catholicism?

If every Pope since John XXIII would be 0% Pope, then the possibility for the Consecration, and the events that are announced to follow it would be Cero as well. That is part of the reason why I am a sedeprivationist, but not a sedevacantist.
