ProphecyFilm.com (also using the domains DoomsdayTube.com and Catholic-Saints.net) is a sedevacantist Catholic website run by Traditionalist Catholics Markus Elias Talani, Krystian Manczak, and Ville Veikko Hietanen in Sweden. The site originated in 2007 as "saintbirgitta.com", but was changed at some point. From 2007 until 2019, the site specialized in fearmongering and spreading batshit insane fundamentalist Christian beliefs through spamming videos and links. In a sense, they were like Most Holy Family Monastery, but with the anti-Semitism at a minimum and with several YouTube channels spreading the same videos about conspiracy theories, the coming apocalypse (especially before 2012), Hell (via disturbing images taken from horror movies), why evolution is wrong and God created everything, and other bullshit.

This site gained some attention from some fundamentalists back in 2008, mostly Protestants (due to promoting the claim that salvation was through works and not faith alone). When a member of Most Holy Family Monastery calls you out, you know you've done something wrong. Maybe it's the disturbing videos with pirated horror movie footage, though they did plagiarize some MHFM videos in the past.[1][note 1]

They do seem to have a hate boner for MHFM.[2]

Beliefs[edit]

ProphecyFilm.com appears to have a mix of Traditionalist Catholic, Evangelical, and fundamentalist beliefs mixed with insane conspiracy theories. Among the batshit crazy beliefs are:

And many others…

Conspiracy mongering[edit]

Despite being a mostly hardcore religious webshite, ProphecyFilm.com (especially back in its saintbirgitta.com days) mostly spread a number of conspiracy theory-themed videos, mostly involving the typical NWO, Illuminati, and Knights Templar shit mixed with UFOs, FEMA concentration camps, and especially 2012 apocalypse shit with a side of Nibiru. They likely still did their fearmongering of Hell and random Christian stuff, but it was overshadowed by their strange obsession with conspiracy theories, which often led to full one-hour videos on this shit, which often did overlap with the fundie madness i.e. entire discussions about the RFID chips as the Mark of the Beast followed by Satanic ritual abuse fuckery relating to playing rock records backwards and other nutty brainwashing-related stuff. The long videos were often cut into shorter 10-minute clips of conspiracy mongering, often with clickbaity titles and entire segments of a still image (often used as the thumbnail) that actually contain religious content. Occasionally they'd post plagiarized content about creationism that often used nutty arguments that often involved ridiculing the claims of evolutionary biologists and cherry picking quotes, as well as random gags.

At some point (presumably after 2012) they appeared to tone down the conspiracy stuff and began focusing on the religious crankery such as the latest thing Popes Benedict XVI and Francis were up to and accusing them of being antipopes.

In a nutshell[edit]

This about sums up their earlier conspiracy-geared content.

Disturbing content[edit]

ProphecyFilm.com also have a pretty huge tendency for making traumatizing and disturbing content, especially in their videos about Hell and sin. They have put out multiple videos with audio of sermons talking about Hell (often plagiarized audio from a Most Holy Family Monastery video) with creepy music (usually "Lux Aeterna" by Clint Mansell or "28 Theme" by John Murphy)[13] [14] and disturbing images taken from several films, including horror films like the Hellraiser and Final Destination franchises, a few Saw clips, and the melting scene from The Cube. The videos' terrifying nature is such that even Most Holy Family Monastery called them out on it.[15] When an anti-Semitic hate group calls out your bullshit, you know you’ve done something wrong.

Retractions?[edit]

Around 2019, it appears that ProphecyFilm.com's mods (or at least Ville Hietanen) have changed their minds on certain bits of information, including their conspiracy mongering and Traditionalist Catholic/Sedevacantist beliefs.

They appear to have rejected most of their ideas about homosexuality, salvation outside of the Church, and even asked Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and the post-"Vatican II" popes for forgiveness for depicting them as evil monsters who plan to rule the world in their older conspiracy-oriented videos. It also appears they have retracted some of their earlier crank beliefs like geocentrism and the Nibiru stuff, so that's at least something.

Notes[edit]

  1. They copied their Death and Journey Into Hell video a while ago, then used the voice-over in their disturbing three-hour hellfest.
  2. They did a video about Nibiru that used images of the Solar System and then typed this in the description: "At 2:18 min in this video, the screen text talks about Nibiru as a "Homeworld". By this we do not mean that Nibiru is a habitable planet with creatures living on it. We do not agree with any images or texts in this video that depict and/or talk about a moving/spinning Earth. We believe the Earth is the center of the universe and that the Sun and planets orbit around the Earth (although the other planets orbit the sun as they orbit the Earth)." If that last sentence made your head hurt, don't worry, you're not alone.
