About this page
The revolution besieging the Catholic
Church as a result of successful Modernist treachery that reached its
culmination at the Second Vatican Council has now entered a new
millennium and continues unimpeded in its destruction of souls. Despite
the much-ballyhooed "new springtime" for the Church, the stark reality
is not growth, but utter
decay wherever one looks. What
has emerged is a pseudo-Catholic Novus Ordo religion where the
outer structures of the Church have been seized by men who long ago lost
the Faith (or in some cases, never had it), along with hirelings who
take a stand if it's fashionable and doesn't affect their
pensions. While that counterfeit religion retains trappings of
Catholicism, in substance it is as empty as its churches, seminaries and
convents.
The purpose of this "News and Analysis" page to show not only that the
destruction is both ongoing and global in its reach, but, even more
importantly, that Modernist Rome is complicit in the havoc
and has, through words and deeds that bespeak errors in morals and
doctrine, established a veritable counter-magisterium. Thus the
admonition our Lord cited at the top of the page is very apropos,
indeed: "By their
fruits you shall know them."

Benedict XVI prays for end of rifts in Anglican church
"Pope Benedict XVI said Saturday that he is praying there
will not be any more rifts in the Anglican community following the
recent Church of England decision on women bishops.
Answering questions
from journalists aboard his flight to Australia, Benedict touched
briefly on the turmoil in the Anglican church. 'I am praying so that
there are no more schisms and fractures' within the Anglican community,
Benedict said." (Photo: New York's Episcopal "bishop suffragan,"
Rt. Rev. Catherine Roskam)
Pope comes to aid of Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams
over unity bid
NOW Comments:
Given that false ecumenism that has been a trademark of the Novus Ordo
sect from its inception, regular readers to the website might be a bit
surprised to see this incident being referred to as a "Jaw-Drop,"
since we have consistently reserved that heading for
stories that are outrageous even by Novus Ordo standards. And yet this
one clearly falls into that category, for it is well-nigh impossible to
conceive of a true pope offering prayers to strengthen the unity of a
false religion that began life as a direct challenge to the authority of
the Pope and subsequently engaged for centuries in some of the
worst persecutions Catholics have had to endure since
those of the Roman Empire. Any pontiff worthy of the name would pray
precisely that such rifts would finally bring an end to the Anglican era
in Britain.Moreover, the divisions are such that certain of those
protesting the above Church of England decision (as well as those
opposing other controversial policies, such as the openly
homosexual Episcopal "bishop,"
Gene Robinson
VIDEO/TEXT
), have threatened to pull
out of that denomination should their position not be heard. The
"schisms and rifts" that may ensue would certainly include many
Anglican "traditionalists" desirous of becoming Catholics, thus
echoing the conversions that took place in the mid-1800s due to
the so-called
Oxford Movement
and subsequent returns to the Church in the early 1900s. It is instructive
to note that none of the popes who reigned during these exoduses
from King Henry VIII's breakaway sect discouraged the
conversions nor did any of them offered to pray for a healing of
the divisions within Anglicanism. Why? Because they properly saw
it as an enemy of the Church, which owed its very existence to
Henry's defiance towards the Holy See.
And yet we see Benedict
and other Novus Ordo church leaders such as "Cardinal" Walter
Kasper (shown in the right photo sharing a laugh with CoE's
Archbishop of Canterbury [a see stolen from the Church], Rowan
Williams) repeatedly
speaking and acting as though the Anglican schism somehow
represents a legitimate, if in certain ways regrettable,
development in Church history, and as though Anglican orders are
really valid (despite Pope Leo XIII's definitive pronouncement
on the matter, the bull
Apostolicae Curae, in which he ruled their ordinations
"absolutely null and utterly void"). Despite efforts
by The Remnant tabloid to suggest a
division between "Pope" Ratzinger and Kasper over
whether to welcome Anglicans into the post-Vatican II church.
Kasper is described as a "modernist termite" bent on derailing
the gracious efforts of Benedict (himself once described by the
same writer as an industrious termite prior to succeeding
John Paul II) to bring "Anglo-Catholics" into union with
Modernist Rome. The trouble with this claim is that there is not
evidence whatsoever that Kasper is charting a contrary course,
as he reached his 75th birthday earlier this year, which would
have given Ratzinger a golden opportunity to force him into
retirement. The fact that this didn't happen, coupled with his
continuing role as President of the Pontifical Council for
Promoting Christian Unity, are clear indicators that he is doing
nothing that sets him at odds with the "pontiff." Still, The
Remnant is sticking to the fiction of a rift and regarding
the latest remarks from Benedict has linked to a blog in the
conservative London Telegraph that argues in its favor (Pope
encourages Anglicans to convert?). The trouble is that
Benedict had ample opportunity when interviewed en route
to Australia to say so and didn't. According to the official
Vatican transcription as carried by Zenit, he was asked
pointedly: "Is there the risk of a fragmentation of the Anglican
Communion andthe possibility that some will ask to be
received into the Catholic Church (emphasis added)?" After
offering to pray
for
the situation and expressing his hope that the strains would not
further damage the CoE, he elaborated a bit about the need for
the sect's deliberations to be rooted in the Gospel (but
according to whose translation and interpretation of
Sacred Scripture? the Anglicans'?), where they
"will find the answers to the present challenges." Yet the
"pope" did not bother to address the question about
possible Anglican "converts" to the Novus Ordo in the slightest.
And indeed that's understandable, for to pray for greater
Anglican unity means to pray for the resolution of the very
issues that would impel "traditionalists" into leaving that
church in the first place! Again, Benedict XVI's response
clearly shows him to believe that the Anglican sect constitutes a
legitimate "faith community" that is worthy of prayers for it's
future wellbeing. No real Catholics could ever maintain such an
error, proximate as it is to heresy, but
industrious Modernist termites like Ratzinger and Kasper certainly do.

NOW Comments: Three years ago we warned that precisely this sort of thing was
going to happen as a result of "Pope" Ratzinger's Modernist deceits.
Sadly, it is a prediction that we'd sooner not have come to pass. (See

Traditional Catholics condemn WYD activities
"A group of Catholic priests opposed to church modernization has
condemned World Youth Day as an appalling display of secularism with
little holy or Catholic content. The priests, from the Holy Cross
Seminary in the New South Wales town of Goulburn, are members of the
Society of St Pius X, which is opposed to innovations that followed the
Second Vatican Council."
But what about apology for his
doctrinal abuse?
'Papal' sex abuse apology promised at WYD '08
NOW Comments:
Benedict XVI seeks to use his visit to World Youth Day festivities to
urge the young to "rediscover their faith and think more about climate
change." Climate change? He's travelled halfway around the world to talk
about climate change??? There are countless grave dangers to teens both
in terms of faith and morals that a real pope would want to
address, but climate change isn't one of them. How can any
traditionally-minded person for even a moment take such the man
seriously. Here's a supposed champion of Catholic orthodoxy who intends
to expound on a fanciful secular subject, thus wasting his time and that
of his listeners, when he could use it to apologize for his longstanding
Modernism and the harm it's caused and pledge to wage war on it instead.
Those who wait for him to make such an utterance should come equipped
with a couple of armloads of waiting room reading material!
…and the motu
Obedience and diabolical disorientation
"When I asked my friend if he had requested the Tridentine Mass, he
answered in the affirmative and then said, 'but the priest tried to
discourage me by saying very few attend this Mass and the many young
people coming to the wedding would be unfamiliar with it.' Then my
friend asked the priest – 'What if I insist?' The priest advised – 'It
is not a good idea, the bishop will not be happy, he might give us a
hard time.'"
NOW Comments: We're not going to belabor the point here, as we've already brought
it up on more than one occasion since the issuance of
Summorum Pontificum
and the
Explanatory Letter that accompanied it, but those documents make it
abundantly evident that "bishops" are given some leeway by
Benedict XVI in administering how or if the motu is to be observed in
their "dioceses." And this is because Benedict states that it is they
who oversee liturgical practices and determine whether allowing the
Latin Mass would be harmful to the "unity" of their area. If there is
any disorientation going on, it is due to ambiguous documents that allow
opposing sides to be able to read them favorably to their position (like
the infamous
liturgical time bombs in Vatican II)

Krishna is a Symbol of Christ "Christian faith, on
the other hand, holds firmly that, in Jesus, God really came into the
world in a way that is historical, not symbolical. This does not mean
that the Krishna-myths have no value. But the way in which a Christian
can understand them is different from the fusion with Christ that occurs
in Hinduism. For the Christian, Krishna is a dramatic symbol of Christ,
who is reality, and this relationship is not reversible" (Joseph
Ratzinger, Principles of Catholic Theology, Ignatius Press, 1987,
p. 326)

America's Fourth of July: Day of Reparation, Not of Celebration
"Pope Leo XIII 'took off the gloves' in
Testem Benevolentiae Nostrae, having praised what he could of
various elements of the American founding, including the natural virtues
of George Washington, in Longinqua
Oceani, January 6, 1895, before making it clear in that
encyclical letter that the American bishops were not doing what they
could to Catholicize the nation, especially as pertains to making his
own encyclical letters on Church-State relations known to the Catholics
of the United States of America. Pope Leo wanted to make it abundantly
clear in Testem Benevolentiae Nostrae that some of the American bishops
did indeed want to view the Deposit of Faith through the lens of the
American Constitution as the prototype of a 'future church' modeled
along the lines of 'democracy' and 'collegiality' and 'egalitarianism'
and 'ecumenism.'"
A
relaxed ride to the gallows…or not?
Fellay, SSPX may be moving closer to
capitulation, sources say
"Father John Zuhlsdorf, a traditionalist Catholic blogger, provided this
English translation of the comment by Tornielli, which were published in
Italian: 'I have learned from a certain source that, contrary to what
has emerged in certain articles, the response of the (SSPX) to Cardinal
Castrillón letter has not been at all negative. The cardinal was pleased
with it, responded to Fellay and immediately passed the SSPX’s letter to
Benedict XVI. Beyond the deadline of the end of June, the Lefebvrites
asked for some time — it seems — to seek a way to adhere to the five
points.”
NOW Comments:
If in fact Tornielli is correct and Bp. Fellay sought more time beyond
the Ratzinger-imposed deadline, this could be an ominous sign,
suggesting the SSPX, in lemming-like fashion, is following the lead of
the Transalpine Redemptorists (TRs), who earlier in the year
symbolically leapt off Papa Stronsay in a maddened attempt to swim to
Modernist Rome (and were recently "rewarded" with
this).
But is it correct? The Society's Bp. Richard Williamson argues in
his blog, Dinoscopus, that such reports aren't really at all
accurate and chastises the head of the TRs for taking the leap! (July
5th blog,
"Carrot Again")
And as if to leave no doubt about his position, he declares: "Vatican
II is not only heresy, it is a total new religion (emphasis added)."
Yet if "Pope" Ratzinger adheres to and heads that apostate religion, a
sect he himself was instrumental in establishing, then logically it is
out of the question to be negotiating with him as though he held the
position of supreme authority for the Catholic Church, for it is
patently absurd to maintain that he can simultaneously be the head of
two contrary faiths. Arguing thus is to contradict the law of
noncontradiction. But it is precisely this contradiction that has
bedeviled the Society for decades, brought about the demise of the
Transalpine Redemptorists and, unless utterly rejected for the dangerous
fallacy it is, will lead the SSPX down the path of ruin, as well.
(And it's not as though they weren't warned:
"What to Expect
of Benedict XVI")
So, when Bp. Fellay states, "We do not want to break with the church.
Our greatest desire is to be fully accepted," it's fair to ask which
church it is by which he seeks to be "fully accepted."
Too hot for Drudge!

'Mutual enrichment' (read synthesis) the goal
Benedict's chief liturgist: Motu aim neither pre- nor
post-conciliar
"['Fr.' Guido] Marini said the pope’s restoration of the traditional
Latin Mass and liturgy had a 'precise, twofold intention.' The first,
said Marini, was to make it 'easier to reach "a reconciliation in the
bosom of the Church"; and in this sense, as has been said, the motu
proprio is a beautiful act of love for the unity of the Church.' The
pope’s second aim 'is that of fostering a mutual enrichment between the
two forms of the Roman rite: in such a way, for example, that in the
celebration according to the missal of Paul VI (the ordinary form of the
Roman rite) ‘will be able to demonstrate, more powerfully than has been
the case hitherto, the sacrality which attracts many people to the
former usage.

valid.) This came on the heels of Rorate’s 14 June 2008 article, “Got a
Revolution, Got to Revolution,” a withering critique of the modernist
innovations in the 1968 ordination rites promulgated by Paul VI.…"
