I have listened to and researched 90 percent of the Dimond's material and I can't find any heresy or error. Sure, they have a lot of opinions on prophecy, that are neither here nor there. Their opinions on prophecy are very interesting, but not infallible. I have read from those who try to "debunk" the Dimonds and their material is nonsense. I challenge someone to post something credible that refutes them point by point. These two totally shred all of their opponents. I am not a "devotee of the Dimonds", but i am a student of the Church for over 30 years. Theses two aren't going to win any popularity contests by their "bedside manor", but hey, the truth hurts sometimes. On the subject of the faith they don't invent anything. They just bring up dogma and doctrine that has already been settled or proclaimed.

How exactly have you researched their positions? As a "student of the Church" one would suspect that you have access to approved, pre-conciliar works on various topics they address: baptism, heresy, etc. You've really not ever come across anything in any Catholic material in tension with the Dimond's material?

Rejecting the salvific quality of baptism of desire is their most glaring error. They err not just in their rejection but also as Ladislaus pointed out, in their conviction that baptism of desire is heretical. This means that the whole magisterium has maintained soteriological error for at least four centuries. For, since Trent at least, baptism of desire has been affirmed by everyone who has taught on the matter.

I was also surprised, several years ago, to discover that even their case for sedevacantism is a wreck. Their argument revolves around a lack of supernatural faith on the part of the conciliar claimants, and they argue that this lack constitutes their non-membership. This is the kind of nonsense one ends up committed to when one develops a disdain for the ordinary magisterium. It is abundantly clear within the Tridentine tradition,
especially since Pope Pius XII's
Mystici Corporis Christi (but really since Bellarmine's
de Controversiis) that supernatural faith is not a condition of Church membership.

Of course they
present themselves as just "bringing up dogma and doctrine that has already been settled or proclaimed" but they do it in a very crude, used-car salesman way. The Catholic faith cannot and is not reducible to a checklist of discrete anathemas; the ordinary magisterium constitutes the bulk of what we know to belong to the Catholic faith: the sainthoods of Ss. Peter, Paul, and more than a thousand years worth of saints; the existence of guardian angels, the efficacy of sacramentals, the perpetual virginity of the Virgin Mary, and so on. Not to mention that what
is solemnly defined is, per Vatican I, to be understood according to the way the Church understands it-- not in a vacuum "as it reads" or whatever other propagandic axioms the Zirconium boys like to circulate. With the blinders off, it becomes quite evident that they present nothing other than their own spin on things and intellectually bully people into thinking that their understanding is the only true and obvious one. Of course if that were true, then their whole apostolate would make no sense at all; one hardly needs a teacher or interpreter for what is obvious!
