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."

Jaw-drop!
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)

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 and the 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:
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)

Ratzinger flashback:
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)

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' a

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, ) 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."

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.
