Chronicling the unending infernal chaos of the Vatican II Church…

March 22, 2023

It’s Lent, but this Pentecost dance will surely cheer you up!

March 13 of this year marked 10 Years of “Pope Francis”! Here’s how it started. And here’s how it’s going. By the way, what’s that mysterious box under his robe?

Intrepid Archlayman of Cincinnati moves to protect his flock from ad orientem worship.

Vatican “Cardinal” Arthur Roche candidly admits that the suppression of the Traditional Latin Mass is ultimately about doctrine — the true Roman Mass simply doesn’t fit into the Vatican II religion.

Hubby wants to be a hubby? 84-year-0ld Novus Ordo bishop Howard Hubbard of Albany, NY, wants to be laicized, allegedly so he can get married.

After sermon mildly critical of woke LGBTi+XYZ garbage: German Benedictine monk under investigation for suspicion of Catholicism. (More on that here.) Meanwhile, this disgraceful French presbyter gets a slap on his limp wrist at most. And of course Hellboy James Martin got another “papal” endorsement.

Face-palm alert: Jimmy Akin of [Non-]Catholic Answers predicts Benedict XVI will one day be declared a saint because ‘papal’ holiness is just “the fashion” these days!

Shocking only for those who don’t know the real Bergoglio: Francis shocks Barcelona seminarians with sexual expletives. Maybe he just needs some more “good vibes”!

“Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of Francis” — The Remnant now suggests praying against their incredibly valid “Pope”.

It’s Lent, after all: Environmentalist Vatican encourages people to “fast” from fossil fuels. As long as it’s for the planet and not for eternity!

Just stunning: New look for Melbourne Archdiocese Novus Ordo schools.

“Nothing But the Truth”, at least supposedly: Benedict XVI’s long-time secretary Georg Gänswein publishes explosive memoir. Rorate Caeli publishes translation of the pages on Traditionis Custodes….

Meet ‘Fr.’ Bruce Wilkinson of Atlanta. He celebrates Kwanzaa, and if you object, you’re probably a white supremacist! But wait a minute… what about Hanukkah?!

Profound spiritual message from the ‘Vicar of Christ’ to Italian school children: ‘Dream big, like John XXIII and Martin Luther King’!

Francis couldn’t care less about sanctifying grace in souls, but when it comes to worrying about the world’s oceans, he doesn’t miss a beat. Meanwhile, in the United States: 84 Novus Ordo dioceses partner with student evaluation firm pushing drag queen books, LGBT ideology.

Oh, look! Ratzinger said it was the time of the Antichrist! Maybe so, but he sure did his part to weaken souls as much as possible in preparation for that encounter.

For Francis, who is “the greatest Christian theologian of our generation”? Why, a non-Catholic, of course! No wonder he tells his own Vatican theologians to consult non-Catholics as well!

So… In Africa the Novus Ordo religion is a success story, huh?

Apostasy in Iraq: Patriarch-Archbishop Sako says God will not ask if we are Shia Muslim or Sunni, a Catholic Christian or an Orthodox, but how we’ve treated our fellow men!

Blasphemous anti-Catholic artwork in Argentina destroyed — guess who stands in “solidarity with the artists who saw the fruit of their work and effort damaged”!

Why not, at this point? Francis is being petitioned to allow “indigenous Mayan rites such as dance, music and the participation of women” to be added to Novus Ordo Masses in Mexico. Maybe they can take some cues from the Australian Aboriginal Liturgy?

Compare and contrast: Circus Mass in 1952 and in 2019.

Oh no, it’s alive! Novus Ordo priest argues the Second Vatican Council is an event that’s “still unfolding because it’s a charter for an era of unspecified duration”.

That ‘smell of the sheep’ stuff: Meet Bergoglio’s ‘Pizza Delivery Bishop’.

Brilliant resistance theology on full display: Tradition in Action clarifies: “We do not consider Pope Francis as an anti-pope. However, he may be an Anti-Christ….” What a relief to know that even as an Antichrist, Bergoglio would still be a true Pope! Some people just can’t live without having a valid Pope to resist!

Enough of Pachamama and the Amazon — now it’s time for “a Church with an Oceanic face”! Notice that it never occurs to these people that, as the Mystical Body, perhaps the Church has the Sacred Countenance of Christ?

Funny how that works: Francis suddenly discovers his hatred of ‘Paganism’.

How the Novus Ordo religion works: “Their Eminences want everyone to understand that they dissent from the Catholic faith, but they don’t want to say it directly.” Francis himself is the best example!

Caution! The ‘New Evangelization’ is active also in Mexico.

How it works in Francis Church: Catholic cassock is rigid! Jewish yarmulke is kosher!

Looks like the plagiarist ‘Fr.’ Thomas Rosica was going to reappear on the scene, but his “re-imagining” of the Church will have to be postponed. Imagine!

Nothing to see here, folks, move along: The World Jewish Congress has opened an office in the Vatican.

In Austria, more and more people just don’t see the point of belonging to the Novus Ordo Church any longer…. No wonder they’re asking: “Should we demolish or sell off our churches?” Or… hey, maybe use them as social halls to feed the hungry? In Canada’s capital, meanwhile, one such decision has already been made.

Francis’ wrist watch auctioned off. Talk about a Novus Ordo watch!

Surely you wouldn’t want to create “a wound in the communion of the Church” by skipping World Youth Day in Lisbon this year, right? Francis knows what to focus on this time: “Young people thirst for horizons” — no doubt about it!

What could possibly go wrong? Francis schedules ecumenical prayer vigil for Synod on Synodality. Good thing Muslims have some input, too!

Climate religion: Jesuit activist causes traffic jam for hours to help “save the climate”. Please don’t tell the Archdiocese of Newark about that!

Obviously, Francis has that special charism that allows him to tell you “what he senses from God”. And that can take a little time, so “sometimes he says nothing for ten minutes”. If only he would say nothing for a lot longer!

Remnant editor Michael Matt eulogizes traditionalist pioneer Howard J. Walsh, who passed away on Jan. 19.

Tommaso Scandroglio publishes “Cardinal McElroy’s summa of heresies”, while ‘Bishop’ Thomas Paprocki imagines a ‘heretical cardinal’.

In a new interview, Francis has denied being a Peronist — Sandro Magister provides a reality check.

Brace yourselves, folks: Francis reorganizes Diocese of Rome in face of ‘epochal change’. In case you thought 86-year-old Bergoglio was going to slow down in 2023, you were wrong.

Don’t you hate it when that happens? Archdiocese of Baltimore cancels “transgender workshop”, fearing protests.

Certain semi-trad pundits had been opining that “Cardinal” Arthur Roche was fighting the Traditional Mass much harder than Francis wanted — so now Francis personally confirmed Roche’s actions. Meanwhile, what’s wrong with that new Mayan rite with its pagan idolatry and symbolism?

Mentally diseased man who now presents himself as woman — after 29 years of marriage, with children — thinks he has something to teach the Catholic Church.

Despite an obvious epidemic of clergy sexual abuse, it is important to remember too that not every accusation is true, not every piece of alleged evidence is necessarily genuine, and not everyone who is sent to prison is actually guilty.

Get ready for the next fake saint: Dom Helder Camara. (And yes, canonizations do matter!)

Nothing to see here, folks: “The women who own Elemental Magick in Sewickley identify themselves as witches. Nonetheless, they were invited to speak at a local Catholic high school….”

In Austria, some people really like to get the ball rolling for Lent….

In his role as über-authentic evangelizer, Bergoglio notes that “a liturgical celebration that does not evangelize is not authentic”. How does your local Novus Ordo service stack up?

Speaking of evangelization… don’t you dare try that at a Novus Ordo school!

Interesting to ponder: After 60 years of ecumenism with the Orthodox, they can’t even so much as agree on when to celebrate Easter!

How times change! Years ago there was a “SHOW-your-tattoo Mass” — now there’s a “GET-your-tattoo Mass”!

Investigate journalist George Neumayr, author of The Political Pope, has died suddenly in Ivory Coast while doing research for a new book. Please pray for the repose of this stalwart soul!

The woke Modernists in Germany can’t figure out why their ‘relevant’ church just isn’t relevant to modern man.

Whatever else you may have going on in your spiritual life, make sure you don’t forget to “become a synod”!

Dr. Peter Kwasniewski once again presumes to overrule his ‘Vicar of Christ’: “In reality, the modified new Catechism—that is, the Catechism of the Catholic Church with the Bergoglian replacement paragraph on the inadmissibility of capital punishment—may not and must not be used by any believing Catholic in any circumstance or for any reason.” The Kwas has spoken, cased closed!

By the way: Does anyone know where the former commander of the Vatican Swiss Guards is?

“Family is where people live with children”, says German Novus Ordo bishop as he lobbies for the concept to be opened to sexual perverts. Meanwhile, porn consumption is being whitewashed as normal and healthy on the official news site of the German bishops, who have nothing to fear from ‘Pope’ Francis. (And neither do the Belgians.) But don’t forget, it’s worse in Switzerland.

It’s only fair that people who don’t believe in the devil should abolish their exorcism ministry.

Francis enlists filmmaker to spread environmentalist message of Laudato Si’ encyclical. Imagine if he enlisted a filmmaker to spread the true Faith!
