  • Behold the world!
    Who careth for their salvation?
    Who saith with a sincere heart "Oh my God I am sorry for having offended thee, but have mercy on me, and do not send me to hellfire!"
    Who believes his hidden hand is behind all things?
    Yea, show me the man who fears God, the diamond among this rubble, and I will show thee the reservoir of unspoilt souls in the remnant of the church.
    There is not so much as one who fears God amidst all this rabble who live in my area, not so much as one. All is the cares of the world, all is vanity. The women dress like whores, the men act like criminals, yea thus I venture forth that such as these are no different to criminals.. for they commit an extended blasphemy with their lives by saying that God is not God, but their crimes will end at their death, a just sentence upon all mankind who were born of sinners and who live in parlence with sin. Woe unto thee o forgotton souls, the wretched whom nobody prays for, and stricken be your soul with a neverending curse, that of damnation.
    For thou had before thee the means for salvation and the time, and thou didst not convert, but rather preferred thy puffed up vanities to the blessedness of God, Woe unto thee come that dreadful day which is sure to come! For is scorning the church thou hast scorned the saints and scandalised them, and think not that the saints and angels will weep and lament your loss to the fatherland, because it is no loss, and the saints and angels will rejoice in your punishments, for justice will come, and it is sure to come to these who have spurned God, and I will not pity them, rather I, I, will rejoice in God's justice, when it comes in blazing furnaces of glory and charity for his saints, and in hellfire for the chaff who are damned.

    Glory be to God.

  • The Little Number of Those Who Are Saved

    by St. Leonard of Port Maurice

    If anyone says that true and natural water is not necessary for baptism and thus twists into some metaphor the words of our Lord Jesus Christ" Unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Spirit" (Jn 3:5) let him be anathema.

  • Yes, most souls will be damned. Only good traditional Catholics will be saved and also those who get lucky and are granted the grace of perfect contrition before they die. I live in New York City. At my Mass, we are lucky to get 30 people. That shows how few traditional Catholics there are in a city of many millions. I don't know how often God gives the grace of perfect contrition to the dying so I cannot make a good guess at how many people would be saved in my city.

  • Will the saints and angels really rejoice in our punishment, though?

    "Our" meaning mankind.
    Religion clean and undefiled before God and the Father, is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their tribulation: and to keep one's self unspotted from this world.

  •  :judge:The angels and saints rejoice in the punishment of evildoers in as much as it glorifies God's perfect justice.  I was once told by a priest in confession that I had committed no sin by rejoicing at the arrest of a neighbor.  I should rejoice that he was no longer "free" to beat his wife and son and disturb the entire neighborhood by vandalizing others' property and committing petty robberies.  Better to be punished in this life than in the next.  
    I do agree that most souls go to Hell.  All one need do, as Matto said, is look at how few live after a Godly manner.  But maybe that's because we live in New York!  In rural locales, it still does seem that most people are basically "good."  We must remember God judges differently than even the holiest Catholic.  There will be many surprises on Judgement Day, both at who is saved and at who is not.
     St. Francis Xavier threw a Crucifix into the sea, at once calming the waves.  Upon reaching the shore, the Crucifix was returned to him by a crab with a curious cross pattern on its shell.

  • I think that those souls, even in the Novus Ordo, who pray the rosary will be looked after with special care and that many will be saved who would otherwise be damned.

    So you are saying that 99.9% of the entire world is going to hell?

  • The Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ, According to St. John

    10:14 I am the good shepherd; and I know mine, and mine know me.
    10:15 As the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father: and I lay down my life for my sheep.
    10:16 And other sheep I have, that are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice, and there shall be one fold and one shepherd.

    Everyone who dies in a state of grace is going to heaven. Here is a question for you: What percentage of the world do you think is now in a state of grace? I don't know how often God gives sinners perfect contrition so I do not know how many people will go to hell.

  • For example, what percentage of people use birth control? I have heard that it is over 95% of those who are sɛҳuąƖly active. None of them are in a state of grace. What percentage of people masturbate? Again, I have heard over 95%. None of them are in a state of grace. Mortal sin is very common and the lines at confession even in the Novus Ordo are very short. So there are lots of sins and little forgiveness. I think the overwhelming majority of people will be damned and I fear that I may be one of them.

  • So far many of my novus ordo relatives have become traditional Catholics prior to their death, some just in the nick of time.  

    I will say that not a day goes by that I don't offer the Blood of Jesus Christ to the Eternal Father for their salvation.  If I didn't have to think about any of them going to Hell, my life would be Heaven on earth.  Just the thought of it grieves my soul to tears.  I think of St. Monica and how she never gave up on her son and if God had such mercy then He surely will hear our prayers for people we love.  

    Blessed Mother did say, that most souls go to hell because there is no one to pray for them.  I have this prayer that I made up praying too for people who will die today.  

    Please pray for my soul.

    This is how I prefer to look at it as well. I don't think we are meant to try and figure out the statistics of heaven and hell. I know it may be motivating for some to think this way but eventually you move on to having trust in God and leaving it in His hands.

    It's devastating and overwhelming to think of 99.9% of people going to Hell. It's more than a person can wrap their minds around. I have to trust, rather, that God is all Good, all Merciful and all Just and that however it works out in the end is exactly those things. When the subject threatens to overwhelm me, I tell Him just that and it brings about peace.
