Hot off the presses, from our popular ‘you can’t make this stuff up’ department: The Vatican Apostolic Library in Vatican City is happy, at least upon request, to provide Muslim visitors with a prayer room so as to accommodate their practice of a false religion.

In an interview with the Rev. Giacomo Cardinali (b. 1977), which was published today in the progressivist Italian daily La Repubblica, followers of the false prophet Mohammed are assured that their objectively false worship is welcome in the sacred halls of the Vatican library, albeit in a separate room.… READ MORE

On Jan. 31, 2025, ‘Pope’ Francis appointed 52-year-old Rev. Johannes Freitag (b. 1972) as auxiliary bishop of the diocese of Graz-Seckau, Austria. He was officially (but invalidly, acc. to traditional Catholic criteria) ordained on May 1 during the Novus Ordo sede vacante period.

In his function as auxiliary in Graz-Seckau, Freitag has been working under ‘Bp.’ Wilhelm Krautwaschl, the local ordinary (more on that fellow later).… READ MORE

Leo XIV Presides over Neo-Pagan Water Ritual,
Blesses Glacial Ice Brought from Greenland

This is going to be a very brief post because there isn’t time for more at the moment. ‘Pope’ Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) has been doing a lot of damage in the last two weeks, and it’s difficult to keep up with it all. Please always remember that for Novus Ordo Watch breaking news updates, as well as reactions and commentary, please see our busy TWITTER FEED here.

Today, Oct. 1, 2025, Leo XIV presided over parts of the ‘Raising Hope for Climate Justice’ conference the Vatican had been promoting.… READ MORE

‘You Who in Diversity Are One’: How Leo XIV Addresses Jesus Christ in Video Promoting Interreligious Cooperation

And just what diversity might that be?

‘You Who in Diversity Are One’: How Leo XIV Addresses Jesus Christ in Video Promoting Interreligious Cooperation

The so-called Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network has just released its ‘Pope Video’ for the month of October. It showcases Leo XIV’s prayer intention for the next 31 days, which is: “For collaboration between different religious traditions.”

The published video is 2 minutes long and features Robert Prevost (‘Pope Leo’) reading a very troublesome script, accompanied by lots of clips of various interreligious activities, including the infamous 1986 Prayer for Peace in Assisi, the 2019 signing of the Document on Human Fraternity in Abu Dhabi, unbelievers planting trees, and much more.… READ MORE

Hold on to Your Beads: Here Come the ‘Synodal Mysteries’ of the Rosary!

‘U.S. Catholic’ suggests you ‘expand’ your Rosary…

Hold on to Your Beads:
Here Come the ‘Synodal Mysteries’ of the Rosary!

Today we are happy to present to you a new addition to your ever-increasing ‘You can’t make this stuff up!’ folder.

The progressivist Novus Ordo rag U.S. Catholic, published by the USA-Canada province of the Claretian Missionaries, has published an article entitled “Expand your rosary with the ‘synodal mysteries'”. It was written by one Kevin Beck and proposes not just five mysteries to be added to the Holy Rosary but as many as 35 new ones — divided into “attentional”, “pentecostal”, “ecclesial”, “evangelization”, “reconciliation”, “missional”, and “pilgrimage” sets.… READ MORE

Knowing When to Swallow: Leo XIV Omits Controversial Line in Common Recitation of ‘Ecumenical’ Creed

The Rev. Robert Prevost engaging in strategic swallowing on Sep. 14, 2025

On Sunday, Sep. 14, 2025, Robert F. Prevost (‘Pope Leo XIV’) presided over an ecumenical liturgical celebration officially entitled “Commemoration of the Martyrs and Witnesses of the Faith of the 21st century”.

Leo was joined by representatives of various heretical and schismatic sects, and ‘Cardinal’ Kurt Koch, the head of the Vatican’s so-called Dicastery for Promoting Christian Unity, also happily participated. “The prayer service [of] Sept.… READ MORE

Leo XIV on Whether He Will Change Church Teaching: ‘Not at the Moment’!

Leo XIV on Whether He Will Change Church Teaching:
‘Not at the Moment’!

The Rev. Robert F. Prevost, aka ‘Pope Leo XIV’, is a clever fellow. He knows how to demolish Church teaching by giving the impression that he will hold the line on it. In this he faithfully follows his master, ‘Pope’ Francis.

U.S. journalist Elise Ann Allen of the Novus Ordo news site Crux has conducted a lengthy interview with Prevost that will be issued in early 2026 in English under the title Pope Leo XIV: Global Citizen, Missionary of the 21st Century.… READ MORE

Leo XIV Backs 1986 Assisi Prayer Meeting, Abu Dhabi Declaration in Message to Interreligious Conference

Seeks ‘authentic synergy’ among world’s religions…

Leo XIV Backs 1986 Assisi Prayer Meeting, Abu Dhabi Declaration in Message to Interreligious Conference

Currently the head of the post-Catholic Vatican: Rev. Robert Prevost

In case anyone was still wondering what to think of Robert Francis Prevost, better known by his stage name ‘Pope Leo XIV’, today he made it absolutely clear that he fully endorses and seeks to advance the same apostate agenda that was launched with the Vatican II declaration Nostra Aetate, was boosted with ‘Pope’ John Paul II‘s 1986 interreligious prayer meeting in Assisi (which spawned a whole series of such frightful events), and that was kicked into high gear with ‘Pope’ Francis’ 2019 Abu Dhabi declaration on human fraternity.… READ MORE

‘Grace for the World’: Vatican Hosts Spectacular Concert and Light Show to Promote Human Fraternity

One week after allowing a ‘gay pride’ parade to process through the Holy Door into St. Peter’s Basilica, the Vatican has doubled down with another horrendous spectacle.

From 9 to 11 pm local time on Sep. 13, 2025, St. Peter’s Square was turned into a venue for a flashy, elaborately-produced musical concert and light show to close out the third annual World Meeting on Human Fraternity. (We recall here what a complete flop the first such meeting was two years ago.)… READ MORE

Sodom and Gomorrah in St. Peter’s Basilica: Leo’s Alphabet Pilgrims March Through Jubilee Holy Door

Rainbow cross carried in procession…

Sodom and Gomorrah in St. Peter’s Basilica:
Leo’s Alphabet Pilgrims March Through Jubilee Holy Door

Thanks to ‘Pope Leo XIV’ (Robert Prevost), a contingent of sexual perverts proudly displaying their affinity to unnatural vice was allowed to enter St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City on Saturday, Sep. 6.

Although a relatively strict dress code is usually enforced for Rome’s most iconic papal basilica, that was clearly not the case this past Saturday when hordes of aberrosexuals were allowed in to what was once one of the holiest sites on earth for Roman Catholics.

People dressed in (ripped) shorts, men holding hands, folks wearing all kinds of rainbow attire, many wearing T-shirts or other clothing advertising various ‘queer’-affirming ministries and associations — it was all on display.… READ MORE

LEO WATCH with Bishop Donald Sanborn – Episode 3

Bp. Sanborn tears down Prevost’s facade…

LEO WATCH, Episode 3

“Perhaps he chose not to speak anymore because he did not feel understood”

.
For almost four months now, the Vatican II Church has been under new management. Since May 8, Robert Francis Prevost has been running the show as ‘Pope Leo XIV’.

The popular FRANCIS WATCH podcast program has thus become LEO WATCH, and it had its debut on June 3.

LEO WATCH is produced by Roman Catholic Media on a monthly basis. A third episode was broadcast live on Aug. 27 on YouTube.

As with its predecessor FRANCIS WATCH, in the new LEO WATCH, host Stephen Heiner is joined by sedevacantist Bishop Donald J.… READ MORE

Assessing a Half-Truth: Was Pope Pius IX a Liberal Before His Election?

Setting the record straight…

Assessing a Half-Truth:
Was Pope Pius IX a Liberal Before His Election?

His Holiness, Pope Pius IX (r. 1846-1878)

History may not repeat itself, but it certainly does rhyme.

This observation, commonly attributed to Mark Twain, is being confirmed in our day when, after 12 frightful years of ‘Pope Francis’ (Jorge Bergoglio), the Vatican II Sect has once again chosen a new head: ‘Cardinal’ Robert Prevost of Chicago, now known as ‘Pope Leo XIV’.

Unlike his Argentinian predecessor, the current American occupant comes across in his external dealings with men as genuinely benign, kind, humble, thoughtful, and serene.… READ MORE

Leo XIV Spews Ecumenical Bilge in Message Commemorating 1925 Stockholm Ecumenical Conference

New ‘Pope’, same old Vatican II garbage…

Leo XIV Spews Ecumenical Bilge in Message Commemorating 1925 Stockholm Ecumenical Conference

A so-called ‘Ecumenical Week’ recently ended in Stockholm, Sweden, celebrating the centenary of an interreligious conference in the Swedish capital in 1925. Not surprisingly, Robert Prevost (‘Pope Leo XIV’) sent the participants a congratulatory message and joined the festivities in spirit.

The official name of the gathering 100 years ago was “Universal Christian Conference on Life and Work”, having been set up by Nathan Söderblom (1866-1931), who was then an archbishop of the so-called Lutheran Church of Sweden. It ran from Aug.… READ MORE

The Unsolvable Pendulum Problem of the Society of St. Pius X

Forever torn between two mutually exclusive ideas…

The Unsolvable Pendulum Problem of the Society of St. Pius X

The Society of St. Pius X (SSPX or FSSPX), founded by Abp. Marcel Lefebvre in 1970, is once again in the news, this time on account of its Jubilee pilgrimage to Rome last week (see a few official photos here).

Some SSPXers are celebrating, whereas others are expressing concern. The reason for the inconsistent reactions to the same development is that some see it as Rome accepting the SSPX as Catholic and recognizing the rights of ‘Tradition’ (a Lefebvrist euphemism for what is simply the Catholic Faith); whereas others see it as a dangerous luring of the Lefebvrist leadership into the ecumenical zoo presided over by Modernist Rome.… READ MORE
