    • Hello

    What are Traditional Catholics around the world doing for the conversion of heretics, pagans, Jєωs, freemasons, etc?

    Are there any current worldwide apostolates for Catholic evangelization of non Catholics? Not novus ordo, I mean, but authentic Catholic.

    Thank you!

    •  :incense:If you are speaking of a formally organised foundation or organisation such as St. Vincent dear Paul, only wholly traditional, I don't think there is one.  I know several traditional priests who have made many converts over the years.  Aren't we ALL supposed to be doing this sort of work?  I have a number of people in my workplace interested in the Catholic Faith.  Perhaps, if you have organisational ability, YOU should start one!  I'll help out, depending upon what it is and where!

     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.

    • Yes! You are right Frances. That is why I am asking. I don't really know how those organizations are originally made and grow though, so I wanted to look for reference.

    I would love to eventually organize something to win souls over to Our Lord and Our Lady!

    Too ambitious of me maybe...I guess one soul at a time... :pray:

    I think the paramount Traditional Catholic apostolate that is working towards the conversion of heretics, pagans, Jєωs, freemasons, and the like is the Fatima Center.  They continually advocate and pray for a proper Consecration of Russia to Mary's Immaculate Heart.
    http://www.fatima.org/

    One of the promises of a proper Consecration of Russia to Mary's Immaculate Heart is the conversion of the Russian people to the Catholic Faith.  When people from other nations see the results in Russia after a proper Consecration they will be converting too.  They would have to considering that another promise of a proper Consecration is a period of peace.

    Aside from individual conversions I can't see large scale conversion to the Catholic Faith until we see a proper Consecration of Russia.  The Fatima prophecies are not just for Catholics but for everyone in the world.  The Queen of Heaven wants a proper Consecration to save souls.  Our Lord wants Mary's Immaculate Heart placed beside His Sacred Heart.

    • This topic highlights a huge problem with the post VII Church. What do you convert people to, Rome?

    My wife and I are former Protestants who did not convert until our late 40s. After much reading and prayer we finally knew that there could only be one true church and that it was the Catholic church. So we started going to Novus Ordo masses and were repelled by what we saw. I had the grace of having attended the Latin Mass as a child with friends and remembered it well. You did not have to understand it to appreciate it's sacred nature, especially compared to the feel-good Methodist church I was raised in.

    My wife, a Lutheran, was scandalized also by the lack of reverence in the N.O. Rite, compared to the services she grew up with.

    We almost never converted until I contacted an old but somewhat forgotten friend who I knew to be Catholic and who, unbeknownst  to me, had gone back to Tradition. I wanted to know if the Catholic Church had split into different denominations like the Methodist religion I grew up in had. (It has!).

    My friend worked with us and guided us through the "crisis" in the church and we discovered that there was a traditional Latin Mass chapel close to us. We approached the Priest and asked for instruction and Baptism. That was 15 years ago.

    On our own, through grace, prayer and reading we were ready to convert to Catholicism but almost driven away.

    So what do you say to potential converts? "Yes, you should become Catholic, but NO you should not go to your local parish church." ?

    And now one reads story after story of how that "church" either sends so many signals to potential converts, if not telling them outright that they need not convert and that they are just fine where they are at (we were actually told this several times by Catholic religious and lay people along our journey of conversion much to our consternation).

    These Modernists will have to answer for billions of Souls lost that were either driven out, or driven away from the One, True, Faith and Church. They are absolutely A.W.O.L.

    Thank you for your reply.

    I am glad there is a Catholic organization that focuses in the conversion of souls, as opposed of "social justice".

    • Yes, Cantarella, there is a solution;  The Sacrifice of the Mass and Rosary.  We are known as a group called the Mystical Body of Christ and the Communion of Saints.

    • Our family likes The Apostolate for Family Consecration,
    The work they do is to convert families, not exactly what you looking for.
    But, they are helping bring many many families REALLY into their faith.
    And those families are going, living it and trying to bring it to other families.
    I'm grateful to have the examples, and friends.

    • True Restoration works to teach the traditional Catholic faith through social media (Facebook, Pinterest, YouTube, etc.)  as well as through regular radio programming via its Restoration Radio Network.

    There's a Catholic lay organization called the Legion of Mary that was started in Ireland in 1921 that has about 3 million members in about 170 countries around the world.  If there's not a praesidium (chapter) in your area then maybe you'd want to start one.

    I often pray one of the legion's prayers, the Catena Legionis.  It's a beautiful prayer.  It starts with the antiphon "Who is she that comes forth as the morning rising, fair as the moon, bright as the sun, terrible as an army set in battle array?"  Then you say Mary's hymn the Magnificat (Luke 1:46-55), the Glory Be, the antiphon again, then it ends with this,
    v. O Mary, conceived without sin.
    R. Pray for us who have recourse to you. (I say "O Mary ..." 3 times)
    Let us pray.
    O Lord Jesus Christ, our mediator with the Father, Who has been Pleased to appoint the Most Blessed Virgin, Your mother, to be our mother also, and our mediatrix with You, mercifully grant that whoever comes to You seeking Your favours may rejoice to receive all of them through her. Amen.

    You can contact them here.
