Vatican II has consequences: Irish Novus Ordo priest allows Muslim to lead prayer in church…

As always, Vatican News knows to ask the really crucial questions: “How will the US election impact climate change?”

Breaking silence: “Abp.” Carlo Vigano reveals details – including names – about Vatican gay lobby.

Meanwhile: Francis puts McCarrick roommate “Cardinal” Kevin Farrell in charge of “scrutinizing Vatican financial decisions not governed by ordinary Vatican oversight norms.”

By the way: Financial and operational questions surround Bergoglio’ favorite Scholas Occurrentes foundation….

Lefebvrists celebrate: Fifty Years of the Society of Saint Pius X. With a letter from the Superior General here. Progressive Novus Ordos are a little less enthusiastic.

Gloria TV bans sedevacantists. Heaven forbid you should say the Vatican’s blasphemous apostate-in-chief isn’t actually the Vicar of Christ….

More like the Vicar of Antichrist: “A gay couple favored by a phone call from Pope Francis and featured in the documentary Francesco are not only ‘married’ but also hired a lesbian surrogate to have three children….”

Franciscan superior cracks down on two Australian friars for criticizing depraved sex ed curriculum.

Caution! The Vatican has given a preview of its upcoming Nativity Scene display for Christmas….

Brace yourselves… Here comes the Jersualema Dance Challenge!

After decades of Novus Ordo catechesis and that “New Evangelization”, a Canadian “cardinal” calls a time-out in order to “reflect” on why it’s not working…

Novus Ordo masquerade: Chicago’s Archlayman Blase Cupich knows that “we grow in holiness” simply by wearing a face diaper! No wonder a presbyter from Atlanta has composed a “prayer as I put on my mask” — after all, it’s basically a “sacrament”!

Speaking of Atlanta: How come nothing is being done about “Fr.” Joseph Morris?

Francis the Naturalist hijacks Our Blessed Lord’s words “I will make all things new” (Apoc 21:5) to encourage people “not [to] be afraid to dream big, seeking the ideals of justice and social love that are born of hope” for the making of a better world. Reality Check: Our Lord’s words refer to the regeneration of fallen nature through sanctifying grace (see 2 Cor 5:17) and also to the New Jerusalem that is Heaven, described in the 21st chapter of the Apocalypse.

Oops! Italy’s top Muslim leader embarrasses interfaith dialogue by insisting that his religion is true, all others false. Now that is something Novus Ordos can actually learn from Muslims!

Arts and crafts to save the world: For Creation Day in the diocese of Eichstätt, Germany, an ecumenical service was followed by Novus Ordo and Lutheran clergy constructing paper cranes together as a sign of peace with creation. (You’ve got to see the photo!)

Is Francis more of a hypocrite or more of an idiot? He denounces the “perverse logic that links personal and national security to the possession of weaponry” as he surrounds himself with bodyguards that carry weapons for his personal security….

Liberty, equality, fraternity: Francis dreams of a Europe of solidarity and respect for all peoples. A real Pope would dream of a Catholic Europe, unto the glory of God and the salvation of souls!

Migrants, the poor, and Coronavirus: As always, Francis has the answers.

When the Christ Child and His Holy Mother won’t do: Francis uses photo of grandmother with grandchild as prayer card.

For someone who doesn’t mind idolatry in his own back yard, Francis sure does love to condemn “idolatry”.

The Francis Effect: Majority of U.S. Novus Ordos weak on opposition to abortion.

What do you mean, you didn’t hear about this? “An Argentine man has accused Pope Francis of covering up allegations of rape and sexual abuse at the hands of a priest.”

Uncovered by the Lepanto Institute: American Novus Ordo bishops fund network endorsing Joe Biden, abortion, exotic dancers…

Rock-ing Poland: New statue of “Saint” John Paul II causes controversy in his homeland…

Addressing the General Assembly of the United Nations, Francis has plenty to say about the Gospel of Jesus Christ “the consolidation of multilateralism as the expression of a renewed sense of global co-responsibility”, about “an integral ecological sensitivity”, and about “a frank and coherent dialogue”!

Three steps forward, two steps back: Francis and the German wing of the Novus Ordo Sect. Same train headed towards hell, just disagreement on speed.

Body language speaks more eloquently than words: Francis receives falsely-accused and now-exonerated “Cardinal” George Pell. A little bit of background here, here, here, and here, including a mystery woman. Bye bye, Mr. Becciu!

Never at a loss for silly metaphors, Francis says: “Indifference … is a quarantine that I choose for myself, to protect myself from the virus of reality.” He speaks in metaphors to camouflage his lack of serious theology.

Green Church rising: Will your burial at least be environmentally friendly? Never mind dying in the state of grace – that won’t save a single tree!

Impressive: Head of German Novus Ordo bishops carries “dental pick” crosier. But is it as spiffy and splendid as the one Francis carried in 2014? If not, there’s always “Cardinal” Barbarin’s!

There’s so much Mafia influence in popular Italian piety, the Vatican has to intervene!

Spiritual mafioso: Why Francis’ tinkering with the Gloria and the Our Father is very serious.

“Catholic” apologist Mark Shea, who claims St. John the Baptist doubted whether Christ was the Messias, publishes book on Novus Ordo social teaching.

In case you were wondering what they are smoking in the Vatican II Church, this Brazilian Novus Ordo priest will tell you.

In the United Kingdom, one of the greatest threats to children’s purity is Novus Ordo bishops. But then, they’re just following their boss…. No wonder their presbyters can now replace the Creed with an LGBT-friendly “statement of faith.”

When the starting point of your theology isn’t God’s supernatural revelation but the lived experience of man: Maltese “Bp.” Mario Grech discovers “new ecclesiology”, possibly even “new theology” in COVID experience…. No wonder Francis just promoted him!

Timothy S. Flanders wonders: “Are Catholics Obliged to Read Every Papal Document?” Wrong question! No one is claiming that Catholics are obliged to read papal documents. But they are obliged to assent to what the Pope teaches and not contradict or resist it. Generally, the Pope teaches the bishops, the bishops teach their pastors, and the pastors teach their flock.

When Ecology Supplants Theology: Bergoglio’s “Time of Creation”.

Francis has figured it out: His Vatican II Sect needs more women in leadership! (Look at your local Novus Ordo parish and see who’s running things there…) In Germany they’re two steps ahead, as always…

The Novus Ordo Sect is finding out the hard way that words do matter in the administration of sacraments. They should have paid attention in the 1960s!

“Operation Transparency”: Roman Catholic Faithful returns to go after corrupt Novus Ordo bishops.

Yes, Dr. Kwasniewski, if Francis is Pope, then you must call Paul VI a saint. You’re welcome!

Remember the Novus Ordo nun Francis congratulated on her work with “transgenders”? Turns out she endorses “trans children” too! Maybe she was educated at this Jesuit high school?!

The post-conciliar epoch meets the post-pandemic epoch: Ireland could see massive drop in “Mass” attendees… But not to worry, it’s really a “Pentecost moment”!

Vatican priorities: Francis gets an eco-friendly Popemobile, and the Swiss Guards get a new, eco-friendly home!

At least he didn’t question Vatican II: “A California bishop has quietly reinstated a priest with a decades-long track record of active homosexuality, which includes embezzling parish funds.”

Back in print! Fr. Francis Connell’s outstanding Outlines of Moral Theology (1953) provide a fantastic and readable overview of the highly complex discipline of Catholic morality.
