Our ministry in Europe was a huge success with many divine appointments and open doors of opportunity to share the glorious Gospel of grace. On our first day at the Vatican, I approached the Pope's residence to see if we could meet with him to talk about the Gospel and his strategy for ecumenical unity. The Swiss guard told me I could see him at noon (along with the other 500,000 people waiting to see him in St. Peter's square). It occurred to me that I have immediate access to God through one mediator but had no access to the pope because of one obstruction. Later, when the pope appeared at his window to "bless" the crowd, we were astonished to witness the misplaced and excessive exaltation of this man. Our hearts were filled with compassion for the many nuns whose eyes were transfixed on him as if he were a god.
As usual
Gendron proceeds to lie and deceive his readers. Notice that like some
politicians have done he declares victory without having actually
achieved it. 
He
can't tell us that he didn't know that personal meetings with His
Holiness are scheduled far in advance. This is just another of his
outright lies that he propagates as an attack on the Catholic faith. Is
this the kind of Christian integrity that he should display? I think
not.

Notice
that he doesn't bother to detail this, probably because he knows full
well that any Catholic whose remotely knowledgeable about our most holy
faith would make him look like even more of a liar than he already does.
For those of you who might not have seen it, I answer this sort of
specious propaganda in an article on my blog called. Iconoclasm: Or: Catholics Worship Graven Images NOT
Clearly Satan has blinded the minds of unbelievers from the light of the Gospel and the glory of Christ.
Any of you feel blinded? Any of you unbelievers? Odd...all the faithful Catholics I know are not only very strong believers and followers of Our Lord Jesus Christ, but can explain and defend what we believe and why.
We left with a greater sense of thanksgiving to God for delivering us from this kingdom of darkness into the glorious light of the Savior.
Hmmm, I seem to express that same feeling about coming home to the Catholic faith in My Testimony.
Many of the Catholics we witnessed to showed no interest in the Word of God because of their fierce and unbending loyalty to their religion. We were, however, encouraged by some who had a teachable spirit and expressed an interest in the truth we shared from Scripture.
Sure Mike, and just how much Italian do you even speak? More likely, he couldn't make himself understood and they were bored with this rude American anti-Catholic. Truth from scripture? Really? If it's so true then how come I've been able to refute so many of your newsletter articles with abundant scriptures and well documented Catholic teaching?

We continued to sow the imperishable seed of God's Word in Naples. It was somewhat of a homecoming for me since I lived there 52 years ago while in middle school. At that time, as a devout Catholic and altar boy, I had what I thought, was a great privilege to meet Padre Pio. He was the stigmatist who bore the 5 wounds of a crucifixion and was recently named a saint. In his autobiography he said souls from purgatory would stop by his window on the way to heaven to thank him for suffering on their behalf.
Irrelevant...
As our merciful God set us free from this religious deception, we now pray that the truth of His Word will do the same for all the divine appointments He set for us.
And
I will pray a Rosary and a Divine Mercy Chaplet (Please join me in this
my Catholic brothers and sisters.) in thanksgiving that I am not
deceived by lying men like you Mike Gendron and my intention will be the
collapse of your anti-Catholic "ministry" and your final reversion by
the mercy of God.

In 2025 Mike started telling a tall tale about Padre Pio. His videos started telling a tale about how when he was a teenager, he and his uncle (a missionary priest in the South Pacific, and not a Franciscan) visited Padre Pio and became close friends with Padre Pio. He said that he and his uncle "Co-Celebrated" (sic) the Mass with Padre Pio. Mike admits that he and his uncle did not speak any Italian. But if you factor in known information on Padre Pio, such as he would take two to three hours to offer Mass. He only ever offered the Traditional Latin Mass, and there was no provision in the Missal Rubrics Padre Pio used for a priest to Con-Celebrate a Mass with anyone else except at the ordination Mass of that priest, with the Bishop who ordained him at the Ordination Mass. The idea that a non-Italian speaking teen and his uncle would become "close friends" with Padre Pio on a single visit, when he spent six to eight hours a day hearing confessions, two to three hours to celebrate a Mass that did not allow Con-celebration, and had his other duties to the Divine Office, personal prayers, and working with translators who would detail him on the letters that came in from around the world so he could respond to them is nothing short of a mind bender for Gender. His distortions of Catholic teaching are one thing, but this story in his recent videos is quite a doozey.
Thank you Thomas! I have never heard that before but I know that what you say of Padre Pio is true and so am not at all surprised that Gendron lied about this as well. He lies A LOT, not to mention deliberately misrepresenting Catechism sections and worse yet, Sacred Scripture. We know from that same scripture that deception is always the mark of an anti-Christ and that 2nd Thessalonians 2 tells us that there are many that "went out from among us" and (since Gendron claims to have once been Catholic) that certainly applies for him.
Sadly there's a lot of that kind of deception around today especially here in America with so many professing Christians supporting actions of right-wing politicians and "influencers" whose rhetoric and polemics as well as their actions are in direct opposition to the very plain teachings of Christ and the Old Testament, such as Matthew 7:12, Mark 8:36,37, Exodus 23:9, Leviticus 19:33-34, Matthew 25:35, and 3 John 1:5-8.
Yes much of the misrepresentation is not Mikes himself but lifted from other Anti-Catholics going back decades before he got upset with the Catholic Church for not granting him an annulment so he could marry the gal he had been seeing behind his wife's back. During COVID Mike who says he is uncomfortable being called Reverend because there is only One who deserves the title, was kicked off a couple of commercial flights for refusing to listen to the flight crew because as a "Missionary Evangelist" he did not have to listen to them.
The guy is most definitely "a piece of work."
