Most Holy Family Monastery

Most Holy Family Monastery is an American sedevacantist traditionalist Catholic organisation, based in Fillmore, New York. The monastery was founded by Joseph Natale in the late 1960s, a Benedictine Catholic lay postulant who had attended the Saint Vincent Archabbey in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. Instead of taking vows with them, Natale left and set up his own monastery with a focus on disabled people with himself as Superior, living according to the Rule of St. Benedict.

Prevention steps

  1. StopNotice a strong emotion (anger, fear, 'they don't want you to know') before you share. Pause first.
  2. Investigate the sourceWho is making the claim, what's their expertise, and what do they gain if you believe it?
  3. Find better coverageRead laterally: open new tabs and see what independent outlets and fact-checkers say.
  4. Trace claims to the originFind the original study, video or document. Check dates and whether quotes are cut.
  5. Ask what would change your mindReal theories can be tested. If every piece of counter-evidence 'proves' the cover-up, it can't be.
  6. Count the peopleBig secret plots need thousands of people to stay silent for years. That rarely happens.
  7. Talk, don't mockWith friends or family, ask questions, listen, share your own sources calmly. Shame backfires.
  8. PrebunkLearn the common tricks (cherry-picking, fake experts, false dilemmas) so you spot them early.
