That's a great story! All conversion stories are fantastic. It's an adventure for sure!
I haven't donned a mask since my conversion, which led me unambiguously to the Latin Mass, to which I'd had no exposure to prior.
Technically it was a reversion--I was an "active parishioner," raising my kids in a very liberal, very protestantized novus ordo church, similar to the one I grew up in (no Rosary. no prayer life. weekly mass most of the time. Almost no confession. no attachment to or interest in any saints. didn't even know about Fatima). By the grace of God, the conversion happened before we would be pressured to jab, so we were spared from whatever is in those.
It is amazing to be on horseback in the Church Militant in these upside down blasphemous modern times.
I think you're absolutely right to point to 1517 v. 1958 as the beginning of the end.
I presume you're referring to Halloween of that year, when Luther formally donned the mantle of Iscariot... But, I'd actually back you up 911 days(!) to May 4, 1515, when Pope Leo X officially promulgated at Lateran Council V the "lawfulness" of interest-bearing loans (usury) for "charitable" purposes--the first time ANY form of interest/usury was deemed "not sinful" or permissible in the history of Holy Mother Church.
It's my opinion that Lateran V is the council wherein (likely anti-) Pope Paul VI's notorious "smoke of satan" first entered the Church.
My best guess is that this current (final?) stage began with Our Lady's 19th century pleas, starting with La Salette..
Leo XIII's vision (regarding the devil being untethered) birthed the Leonine prayers--meaning every Low Mass from 1884 to 1965 concluded with a dire warning about the tribulations afoot.
With Our Lady's Fatima pleas unheeded, the great chastisements/passion of the Bride of Christ/Satan's hideous bloody death knell under the heel of Our Lady/Whatever-you-want-to-call-this-most-recent-chapter really kicked into gear when the Sons of the Widow let Fat Man rip atop the center of Roman Catholic life in Japan in 1945.
From there, you have a direct line to the 1958 conclave funny business, which flows directly to Vatican II (and you know its fruit), etc.--all the while satan has been consolidating his grip on worldly power through his esoteric societies and false "religions."
Our consolation and our hope is Our Lady, who will continue to see us through these backward times. We already know the victor and the victory.
I forgot, NO MASKS either!
