Explanation of Acts 17:22-23

Do Pagans worship the True God without knowing it?
A Look at St. Paul’s Discourse to the Athenians

In Chapter 17 of the Acts of the Apostles, we find St. Paul discoursing with the pagan inhabitants of Athens, Greece. The city is immersed in idolatry, and the holy Apostle notices an altar dedicated “to the unknown god”. He uses this as a cue to preach to the Athenians the true God, whom indeed they do not yet know but are apparently disposed, however confusedly, to worship.

This incident is sometimes used by Novus Ordo apologists to support the positive view of paganism that the Vatican II religion has been fostering, and none more than Jorge Bergoglio, the man otherwise known as “Pope Francis”. … READ MORE

Interview with Jesuit ‘America’ journalists…

Francis: ‘If I see the Gospel in a Sociological Way only, Yes, I am Communist, and so too is Jesus’

Sometimes ‘Pope’ Francis (Jorge Bergoglio) says outrageous things that go under, simply because he says and does so many other outrageous things that one cannot read or process everything in due time.

Thus it is that we must turn once again to the interview Francis gave to journalists affiliated with the Jesuit rag America, which was published Nov. 28:

America‘s departing editor-in-chief, ‘Fr.’… READ MORE

‘Merry Christmas’ from Bergoglio!

Francis claims Virgin Mary had Labor Pains, undermines Catholic Dogma

Year after year, the Argentinian apostate Jorge Bergoglio (“Pope Francis”) gives his annual Christmas address to the Roman Curia, just a few days before the great feast of the Nativity of our Lord. On the same day, he also delivers Christmas greetings to the employees of Vatican City. It is in that address that he dropped a quasi-heretical and blasphemous bombshell today.

The main focus of his brief remarks to Vatican workers was that he wished them serenity for Christmas, a serenity as that experienced by the Holy Family.… READ MORE

Podcast: The Rev. Frank Pavone Defrocking Drama

The news that broke this past Saturday, Dec. 17, regarding the Rev. Frank Pavone having been removed from the [Novus Ordo] priesthood by ‘Pope’ Francis, has developed into a drama that will probably be with us for a while.

Our initial blog post, since revised with countless updates, can be accessed here:

Although one’s gut reaction upon first hearing this news may be to assume that the usual suspects in the Vatican are simply trying to delegitimize an outspoken opponent of abortion, it quickly becomes apparent that there is more to this story than meets the eye at first.… READ MORE

No room for the Prince of Peace…

Masonic Fraternity instead of Jesus Christ:
Francis’ Message for World Day of Peace Fails to Surprise


Bergoglio showing his joyful gaze to Canadians on July 26, 2022

On January 1 of every year, the Novus Ordo religion celebrates the World Day of Peace. It was instituted by “Pope” Paul VI in 1967 and first observed in 1968. A “papal” message has been accompanying it ever since, and it is always dated Dec. 8 of the prior year and released shortly thereafter.

So too this time around. In fact, the Vatican held a press conference to introduce the message, which is directed at “all men and women of good will”, not only at Catholics.… READ MORE

Anything but Catholicism…

Francis commemorates ‘World Mountain Day’

The Jesuit apostate Jorge Bergoglio — “Pope” Francis — has found yet another thing for man to worry about that will distract him from the salvation of his soul. This time around, the false pope drew everyone’s attention to the importance of caring for mountains.

He did this as part of his Angelus remarks of Dec. 11, 2022. Before he got to that, however, he first once again blasphemed St. John the Baptist, as he had done numerous times in the past, accusing him of doubting that Jesus of Nazareth was truly the Messias.… READ MORE

Another day, another heresy…

Francis again misleads, claims Baptism makes us ‘Children of God Forever’

Today is the great feast of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a holy day celebrated even in the Vatican II Church.

In keeping with the custom, Francis gave an Angelus address today; and no, he did not deny the dogma defined by Pope Pius IX (see Denz. 1641) but in fact affirmed it quite clearly.

That is not to say, however, that he didn’t promote some other heresy — not with regard to the Bl. Virgin Mary (he has done that on other occasions), but on one of the effects of the sacrament of baptism.… READ MORE

Gift from Jewish delegation visiting Vatican…

Kosher Frank: ‘Pope’ Francis blows the Jewish Shofar, gives World Jewish Congress an Office in Vatican City

shofar is the horn of an animal, usually a ram, that is used as a wind instrument. It has its origins in the Old Testament, going back as far as the book of Exodus: “When the trumpet shall begin to sound, then let them go up into the mount” (Ex 19:13b).

The shofar is used for religious purposes only. In our day, sounding the shofar is chiefly associated with apostate Judaism, where the musical horn is used for many different reasons, as explained in their religious texts such as the Kabbalah and the Talmud.… READ MORE

Chaos Frank is at it again…

Francis again casts Doubt on the Personhood of the Unborn

The beautiful season of Advent has begun, and if there’s one man who knows how to interrupt this sacred time of penance and preparation for Christmas, it’s the Argentinian apostate Jorge Bergoglio (“Pope Francis”).

On Nov. 22, 2022, the world’s most talkative Jesuit sat down with a few assorted journalists from the Jesuit rag America, giving them a massive interview that was published Nov. 28:

In addition to the full transcript, America also released sundry photos and the following 1-minute teaser clip:

One of the interviewers was Gloria Purvis.… READ MORE

Bergoglio discovers “blasphemy”…

Francis: Violence against Women is ‘Blasphemy’

Now this is rich: The Vatican’s blasphemer-in-chief discovers his hatred of blasphemy. Except, of course, it’s not actual blasphemy he’s concerned about — as usual, the Argentinian apostate posing as the Pope of the Catholic Church is merely misappropriating the concept, applying it to the being he really worships: man. Or rather, in this particular case, woman.

November 25 is the annual International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, obviously a noble cause. Vatican News released a brief report on it today, quoting “Pope” Francis from a sermon he gave on Jan.… READ MORE

Francis to African University Students: Avoid the ‘Supermarket of Salvation’, but be ‘Apostles of the Earth’!

On Tuesday, Nov. 1, 2022, the Argentinian apostate Jorge Bergoglio (“Pope Francis”) was busy helping university students build bridges across Africa. To that end he participated in a Zoom video conference event entitled, “Building Bridges Across Africa: A Synodal Encounter between Pope Francis and African University Students”, sponsored, among other entities, by the Pan-African Catholic Theology and Pastoral Network.

The main theme of the dialogue with university students was “Ubuntu: A culture of encounter; we all belong”.… READ MORE

Francis dumps Truckloads of Heresy and Error in Address to Ecumenical Audience in Bahrain


Never at a loss for words, the apostate Bergoglio had plenty to say to his ecumenical audience

In our last post, we demonstrated Jorge Bergoglio’s apostasy in his speeches to Muslims in Awali, Bahrain. Under his stage name “Pope Francis”, he preached to them not Jesus Christ but, instead, transcendence and fraternity, which alone, he claimed, could save us:

Right after his speech to the Muslim Council of Elders on Nov.… READ MORE

Bergoglio’s ‘Gospel of Man’ reloaded…

Francis to Muslim Elders:
‘Transcendence and Fraternity Alone will Save Us’

As noted in our most recent podcast, TRADCAST EXPRESS 164, the false pope Jorge Bergoglio (“Francis”) is currently on a four-day blather tour in Bahrain, a small island nation in the Persian Gulf. Bahrain is a monarchy with Islam as the official state religion; but other creeds too have many rights.

Thursday, Nov. 3, was Bergoglio’s first day in the kingdom, and he had plenty to say in his address to the nation’s governing authorities, civil society, and diplomatic corps.

Identifying Bahrain as “a crossroads of mutual enrichment between peoples”, Francis observed that the land “has always been a place of encounter between different peoples” — in other words, it is a perfect setting for him to promote his Masonic ideology of encounter, fraternity, and religious pluralism.… READ MORE
