A Letter to Bruin Christian Fellowship Members of 1970 to 1973

Matrimony of John Jackson and Annette Park 1975

Dear John and BCFers,

As many of you know, I was with many of you at UCLA in Hedrick Hall from 1970 to 1973, during which time we got together weekly to study the Bible as members of Bruin Christian Fellowship. I thank God that God gave me the grace to continue to seek the objective Truth from God in a world more full of confusion and lies than ever before. Fifty five years ago we were all very young. I hope we all have diligently sought out the Truth in a world that deliberately seeks to lead us away from the objective Truth of God in many very powerful, hidden and subtle ways. When Jesus said, “The Truth will make you free!” (Jn 8:32; Jer 6:16), Jesus was referring to the Truth of God that does not change with the world or according to men. Jesus was not referring to the truth of creatures but of the Creator!

In Italian one often says I love you by “ti voglio bene”, instead of “ti amo”. “Ti voglio bene” means I want well for you. Thus if I wish well for you, if I offer you true love and not false love, I must offer you the whole truth according to God and not according to “my truth or interpretation”, or according to the truth of people with their own personal opinions and own personal interpretations of the truth or of Sacred Scripture. Thus true love means that I wish well for you above all for all eternity, and not just for this short life. But to be well for all eternity, one must seek and live God’s will, not our own, as we say with our mouths in the Our Father: “THY will be done”, not “MY will be done”!

No one ends up in heaven by chance. No one ends up in hell by chance. The place where we will spend eternity entails a very radical choice in total freedom on the part of each one of us!

The problem is “Satan disguises himself as an angel of light” (2Cor 11:14). In particular, this “angel of light” takes on the form and lie of convincing us that the truth according to us is the truth of God, and the interpretation of the truth or of Sacred Scripture is the truth of the Holy Spirit, when in reality it is OUR truth and OUR interpretation.

“The father of lies” (Jn 8:44) is much more intelligent than we are, and he does not sleep.

We are truly in the period of the great apostasy before the manifestation of the Antichrist (2Thess ch2) when “if possible, even the elect” (Mt 24:24) will be led astray. We are living in the period of the world when there is more deception than in any other period in the history of the world (2Thess 2:11-12; Dan 12:8-10). The hidden, but very powerful foundation of this great apostasy is subjectivism and relativism, in which each person decides the truth and the interpretation of the truth for himself, instead of seeking the objective Truth of God and seeking to live God’s truth with the help of God in sincere humble prayer. Satan has convinced many Christians that their own subjective ideas, their personal interpretation of Sacred Scripture is the infallible Truth, and they do not seek to discover the Truth outside of their own heads, and thus they are not willing to dialogue with anyone not in agreement with themselves. If one does not seek the objective Truth outside of their own heads, this person is not seeking or following Jesus Christ but rather himself, because Jesus is the Truth (Jn 14:6)!

If we have the humility to consider the possibility that we could be deceived by “the father of lies” (Jn 8:44), and that we are not the source of all truth and all possible interpretations of the truth, then there is the possibility that we will begin to realize how we might have been deceived in our personal convictions, especially in this period of the great apostasy (2Thess 2:3) when even “the elect will be deceived if possible” (Mt 24:24). Then we might be more willing to listen to others of good will who do not believe as we do, and above all to seek the Truth where Jesus promised we could always find the Truth according to God the Creator and not according to the fallible creatures.

I wrote to you similar emails in the past, and no one responded. I believe what I wrote in the past and here in this email is extremely important, but apparently you do not think these things are important; apparently you feel you are above the possibility of error. As an example, a few years ago I wrote to you that even though thousands of independent protestant groups have the same Bible, the same God and profess the same faith in Jesus Christ, there are many fundamental contradictions among these groups and protestants regarding very important doctrines of faith and morals. I then asked the question: Did Christ not know that this would happen, and did Christ offer a solution to this grave problem? Not one of you had the courage to reply to this email to seek the objective Truth together!?! Are we using religion to satisfy what we want and how we want to feel, or are we using religion to discover the true will of God, the Truth of Jesus Who is the Truth (Jn 14:6), the objective Truth, which is very often uncomfortable since it requires us to change our life and suffer with Christ?

As I wrote in one of my articles:

When Pope Paul VI issued his prophetic encyclical, “HUMANAE VITAE” (1968), there was an incredible negative reaction not only on the part of the laity who wanted to enjoy the pleasures of sexual relationships without any responsibility or openness to life by using artificial birth control, but even on the part of a great number of priests and bishops, even entire Episcopal conferences (e.g., the ‘Winnipeg Statement’ of the Canadian Bishops)! BEFORE 1930 ALL MAINLINE PROTESTANT DENOMINATIONS WERE IN ACCORD WITH THE CATHOLIC CHURCH that the use of artificial birth control was a grave evil and a serious sin. Before 1930 most Christian men realized that using artificial birth control was like using ones wife as a prostitute! When the Anglican Church changed its stance in 1930 (Lambeth Conference) the other protestant churches quickly followed suit while Pope Pius XI reaffirmed the Church’s constant teaching on this grave evil in his encyclical Casti Cannubii (1930). Do we believe that we can make it to heaven without imitating Christ crucified to overcome our egoism and to learn to truly love, without being generous to life (“be fruitful and multiply”; Gen 1:28; 9:1,7; 26:24; 38:8-10; Ps 8:6-9; 127:3-5; Sir 17:2-4; Ex 1:7; Wis 9:2; 10:2; etc.)? WE ARE NOW UNDERGOING THE CHASTISEMENT (Mt 24) of Divine Mercy, as the last chance of conversion (Diary of Saint Faustina, no. 1588), for our rejection and great rebellion against God’s holy and saving laws with “a personage not canonically elected, raised to the Pontificate, (who) will endeavor to administer shrewdly to many the mortal poison of his error!” (The “Prophecy” of Saint Francis (Assisi)”).

Protestantism didn’t get rid of the papacy. It made every man his own pope.

John Sanjeevi wrote: “Protestants question everything, but Never the formation of tens of hundreds of churches with contradictory doctrines. Jesus and his apostles never said anyone had the liberty to interpret Scripture according to one’s private and subjective interpretation, to invent new doctrines and to start new ‘churches’.”

The Catholic Church needed reform in the 16th century. But it needed reform in practice not doctrine.

A large portion of Protestants are ignorant of the early Church. Yet, the early Church received its faith directly from the Apostles. The early Church was Catholic in its theology.

Jesus said: “Go out to the whole world: proclaim the Gospel to all creation” (Mk 16:15). Jesus never asked us to start our own church!

IF IT MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER, in this period of the great apostasy (2Thess 2:3) and of the “great tribulation” (Mt 24:21), a great number of Catholic priests, bishops and cardinals do not have true humility which is the foundation for the other virtues. Thus these Catholic clerics will end up in hell for all eternity!

But this great sin of pride is the basic element of the great apostasy today. These arrogant priests, bishops and cardinals have made themselves the source of all truth and do not have the humility to seek the truth outside of themselves and obey the Documents of the Catholic Church guided by the Holy Spirit.

THE TRUTH COMES FROM GOD, NOT FROM THE CHURCH. The Church is the servant of the Truth, not the Author of the Truth (Jn 14:6). The Church must protect and defend the precious gift of the Truth, not modify or change the truth in a hidden sly way to please the world. Thus no priest, bishop or POPE can change the Truth of Divine Revelation given by God throughout the history of mankind, infallibly explained by the Catholic Church, and is well summarized in the Catechism of the Catholic Church for adults (CCC); ed. 1992, promulgated by Pope John Paul II (http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/_INDEX.HTM).

St. Thomas Aquinas quoting from St. Augustine, in his commentary on the right of subjects to resist flaky superiors, recalled that in St. Paul’s Letter to the Galatians, St. Paul rebuked the first pope, St. Peter, “to his face because he clearly was wrong” (Gal 2:11-14). There being an imminent danger for the Faith, prelates must be questioned, even publicly, by their subjects. Thus, St. Paul, who was a subject of St. Peter, questioned him publicly on account of an imminent danger of scandal in a matter of Faith. And, as the Glossa of St. Augustine puts it (Ad Galatas 2.14), “St. Peter himself gave the example to those who govern so that if sometimes they stray from the right way, they will not reject a correction as unworthy even if it comes from their subjects.” (Summa Theologiae, IIa IIae, Q. 33, A. 4).

Since so many believe they can interpret the truth according to themselves, Christ founded ONE Church which He promised that the Holy Spirit would guide until the end of time. For this reason, the first target of Satan is to destroy the Catholic Church, which has been infiltrated by many puppets of Satan to change the doctrine in very sly and hidden ways, to infiltrate the seminaries and Catholic Universities to lead the young priests to interpret the Truth according to themselves and according to what people want to hear.

"If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake, he will save it” (Lk 9:23-24; Mt 16:24-25).

“Then Jesus told his disciples, "If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me” (Lk 9:23 14:27; Mt 10:38; 16:24; Mk 8:34).

“For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.” (1Cor 1:22-25).

“He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me…” (Mt 10:37).

“If any one come to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple” (Lk 14:26).

The more we seek the Truth of God and put it into practice, the more God can fill us with blessings and peace and joy that we cannot know until we take the step to trust God more than we trust ourselves or the group that is in agreement with our comfortable interpretation of Christianity.

That which sustains the Body of Christ, the Church, is above all the Eucharist and precious blood of Christ, the Lamb of God, and the blood of martyrs. In the first three centuries of the early Church, there were more than one million Christian martyrs. In the documents of the early Christians one finds an attitude that one cannot be a true follower of Christ if one does not follow Christ all the way to giving ones blood as Christ did on the Cross. At the end of the period of persecution, many Christians were led into the desert to continue to suffer with Christ. During the centuries Christians have slowly accepted compromise after compromise leading to a Christianity more and more watered down, and then justifying this slide into mediocrity after each compromise, which produces more and more spiritual blindness in seeing things from our point of view instead of from God’s point of view. In the history of the Church, the true saints reformed the Church with suffering, humility and example within the Church; the false saints sought to reform the Church outside of the Church according to their own interpretations while rejecting the Documents of the Church given to us during the centuries after the death of Christ. In this period of the “great tribulation” (Mt 24:21) and of the great apostasy (2Thess 2:3) there will also be a great divine purification, which will require more blood of martyrs than was required for the foundation of the new Christian Church for the various purifications of the Church during the centuries. If we do not start now to root out all the compromises that we have inherited or that we have personally accepted, we will not be ready for the gift of suffering that God will offer to the true followers of Christ in this period of purification.

“Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, "Who are these, clothed in white robes, and whence have they come?" I said to him, "Sir, you know." And he said to me, "These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.” (Rev 7:13-14).

When the disciples “were amazed at His words”, and even “exceedingly astonished”, at the beginning of their walk with Christ, Jesus did not offer false and empty and destructive compromises as so many leaders in the Church today are offering to the numerous gullible “Christians” as we see on TV and other places. But rather Jesus said: “With men it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God” (Mk 10:23-27).

Yes the Catholic Church today is full of “Judas Iscariots”. Satan already basically has the other churches in his hand in subjectivism. Only the Catholic Church has the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist, and this will be taken away in all the public churches according to the prophecy of Daniel.

Three and a half years of Abomination of Desolation!

Before “the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of perdition (the Antichrist) … only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed…” (2Thess 2:3-8). Above all what is “RESTRAINING” the “man of lawlessness” is the presence of Jesus Christ as the Truth (Jn 14:6) and especially His real presence in the Most Holy Eucharist of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass; Satan seeks to trivialize both so as to deprive us of God’s guidance and His powerful protection and help. Before the manifestation of the Antichrist, “the continual burnt offering” (Dan 8:11; 12:11), will be taken away, and the “sacrifice and offering” will cease (Dan 9:27), which Jesus foretold (Mt 24:15). This sacrilege is the ultimate “ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION” (Mt 24:15; Mk 13:14; 2Thess 2:3-4; Dan 9:27; 11:31)! For the last three and a half years of this period of the “great tribulation” (Mt 24:21) “the continual burnt offering” (Dan 8:11; 12:11), that is the VALID Holy Mass, THE EUCHARIST, will be TAKEN AWAY, in all the public churches in the world (Dan 12:11; Rev 13:5) (“The Abomination of Desolation”)! I believe that the VALID, Holy Mass, THE EUCHARIST, will be TAKEN AWAY, in a sly and disguised way, in all the public churches in the world in less than two years. After this greatest tribulation in the history of the world, past and future (Mt 24:21), finally all the Catholics, Protestants and non Christians will realize the greatness of the Most Holy Eucharist, and will have great faith, adoration, humility, reverence and love for Jesus truly present in the Eucharist. It would be much better to discover this great Truth about the Eucharist before this period of great tribulation! The only verse in the whole Bible with the number of the Beast, the Antichrist, 666 (Rev 13:18), is when many disciples refused Christ’s teachings on the Eucharist and went away (Jn 6:66)!!! Jesus did not go after the disciples who left and offer compromises to his teaching, but Jesus was even ready to lose the Apostles and so challenged the Apostles if they totally believed what Jesus said about the Eucharist, without compromise! Jesus said to the twelve, “Will you also go away?” (Jn 6:67).

“The Sacrifice of the Mass renews that which was accomplished by Jesus on Calvary. By accepting the Protestant doctrine, people will hold that the Mass is not a sacrifice but only a sacred meal, that is to say, a remembrance of that which Jesus did at his Last Supper. And thus, the celebration of Holy Mass will be suppressed. In this abolition of the daily Sacrifice consists the horrible sacrilege accomplished by the Antichrist, which will last about three and a half years, namely, one thousand two hundred and ninety days” (December 31, 1992; “To The Priests Our Lady’s Beloved Sons”; http://our-lady-priests.blogspot.it/).

The choice of where we will spend eternity is ours! Again I repeat:

No one ends up in heaven by chance. No one ends up in hell by chance. The place where we will spend eternity entails a very radical choice in total freedom on the part of each one of us.

There are many lies going around today regarding God and religion. I hope you do not believe the lie that heaven is automatic and hell does not exist, or “once saved always saved”, which implies that we do not have responsibility for our actions, as if we are animals without an immortal soul. Human beings have an immortal soul made in the image of God (Gen 1:26-27).

Many believe that the prophecies of Zechariah have now come. `An oracle of the Lord: I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be completely scattered; and then I will turn my hand against the little ones. `An oracle of the Lord: In all the land, two thirds of them will be cut off and perish; and one third shall be left. `I will pass this third through fire; I will refine it as silver is refined, test it as gold is tested. `It will call upon my Name, and I will hear it; I will say:"This is my people.” And it will say: “The Lord is my God.” ‘ (cf. Zech 13:7-9)”

“I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be completely scattered; and then I will turn my hand against the little ones”. I believe that this coincides well with the prophecies of the FALSE POPE, who will corrupt “the little one”, especially those who have been abandoned by their parents and their pastors who have the vocation from God to protect the souls entrusted to them.

“Two thirds of them will be cut off and perish…” This means two thirds will lose their immortal souls in this period, and the third that saves their souls will pass “through fire; I will refine it as silver is refined, test it as gold is tested”! Right now there are very few people who have the courage to take the risk to open their eyes to the signs of the times so as not to be hypocrites (Lk 12:56; Mt 16:3; 24:32-33,51), to go against the tide of the great majority, strongly manipulated by the highly controlled mass media, who have taken the easy way of being “politically correct”, and in particular today, in the Catholic Church (“Politically Correct in the Church – EWTN”; http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2017/10/politically-correct-in-church-ewtn.html)! In this period of the crucifixion of the Church, the purification of the Church and of the world, we are called to not flee from the sufferings that Jesus offers and shares with us, but to offer our lives for the Body of Christ, the Church, as did Mary, the “Queen of martyrs”, at the foot of the cross with Jesus totally covered with blood and wounds and humiliations and abandoned by almost everyone. Thus most of the very few who remain faithful to the uncomfortable truth in this period will later offer with their blood the grace for the conversion of many others so as to arrive to the prophesied one third who will save their immortal souls for all eternity. “The blood of martyrs is the seed of Christians” – Tertullian.

Recently I published an article on a large California blog, Free Republic, in which the majority of subscribers are protestant. Many protestants attacked my article. If you might be interested in reading these attacks and how I responded, take a look at the comments after the article.

I will pray for all of you that you might have the humility to realize that we are not the source of all truth and then to seek the objective Truth of God and put into practice this precious Truth even if it means losing everything we have and even receiving the gift of martyrdom. In the first three centuries of the Church, under great persecution, there were more than one million Christian martyrs. In this period of the purification of the Church there will be needed much more than one million Christian martyrs.

May God bless you all especially in this period of the purification of the Body of Christ, the Church!
