An Interview on True Restoration

On Mar. 4, 2022, Stephen Heiner of True Restoration sat down with yours truly (Mario Derksen) for an interesting in-depth conversation centering on the personal story behind Novus Ordo Watch.

Part 2: Novus Ordo vs. Sedevacantist Podcast Discussion

The debate continues…

Novus Ordo vs. Sedevacantist Discussion, Part 2
