Chronicling the unending infernal chaos of the Vatican II Church…

August 13, 2024


Young Novus Ordos in Poland celebrate their Festival of Life every summer…

Finally, someone has the guts to say it! ‘Pope’ Francis highlights the social value of the game of checkers.

Looks like the Vatican II Church in Belgium will be dead by 2045 at the latest. But fear not, with Francis’ scheduled trip there in September, it might go faster!

All that Vatican II joy is hard to contain: Meet the ‘new’ Franciscans of Brazil.

Why is the international media silent on this ‘Monster Bishop’ protected by Francis?

When sermons cause controversy: Novus Ordo priest mocks Buddha as “this fat, seated man with a beautiful belly” – Diocese apologizes. But that’s nothing compared to this Novus Ordo church in Portland: “A Catholic church in Oregon is promoting non-Christian practices of prayer and is helping raise funds for a Buddhist monastery in India.”

Novus Ordo priest in Poland participates in ecumenical ceremony to bless homosexual ‘couples’. But don’t worry, it was supposedly ‘non-liturgical’!

Nothing to see here, fellows, just the former episcopal vicar of the Archdiocese of Boston getting ‘married’ to his boyfriend.

The Catholic World Report hasn’t gotten the memo yet: ‘Bishop’ John Stowe of Lexington is precisely the kind of ‘Catholic bishop’ the apostate Vatican under Francis wants to see. Just watch, he may very well become the next ‘Archbishop’ of Cincinnati…

It’s interview time: Francis and those ‘stupid’ climate emergency deniers.

Crisis Magazine shows how entirely out of touch they are not just with the reality of the Vatican II Church but also with true Catholic principles. As part of a ‘new ecumenism’, contributor Philip Primeau recommends “a ‘low church’ evangelical service modified only to include the Eucharistic prayer” as an arguable “concession demanded by current realities” to help evangelicals convert.

Quiet, please! These eco-Jesuits are on retreat — or something.

The official ‘Catholic news’ web site backed by the German Novus Ordo bishops gives a surprisingly fair, though not flawless, overview of Sedevacantism. The concept of Sedevacantism is entering the mainstream more and more, and that is a good thing, even if it is opposed!

Some things are just beyond parody: ‘Father Anne’ sees signs of opening for Novus Ordo women priests.

At Vatican World Children’s Day, comedian Roberto Benigni tells children there is no hell or purgatory. Francis was present when he spoke and, of course, remained silent. Which is understandable, considering he doesn’t really believe in hell or purgatory either….

Alarming increase in hostilities by Jews against Christians in Israel in 2023. You’ll be waiting a long time for ‘Pope Francis’ to condemn ‘Antichristianism’ now…

Nobody preaches on the “necessity of the useless” better than ‘Cardinal’ Reinhard Marx! Hey, talk about useless

The Gift of Being Christian Heretical Together: USCCB committee recommends further study of ecumenical document that claims: “We Catholics and Evangelicals recognize one another as brothers and sisters in Christ who have received the same baptism and call, as belonging to one and the same Christian family, and as sharing the same faith, hope, and love.”

You can’t make this stuff up: Former Novus Ordo bishop marries (female) author of erotic novels in church — with ‘papal’ support.

Promotion of contraception and referrals for preborn child murder: Disturbing Findings on Catholic Relief Services.

And you missed it! Sydney Archdiocese hosted Muslim Iftar Dinner this past March.

What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. See, if Francis is right that religious diversity is an enrichment willed by God on account of His creative wisdom, what’s going to keep some ‘moral theologian’ from arguing that by the same token, ‘sexual diversity’ is willed by God in like manner? “For theological reasons, too, the Church must become a champion of diversity and recognise queer people as an enrichment because they make visible ‘the sense of the greatness of God’s work of creation'”.

Working hard at building that ‘poor church for the poor’? After sex scandal: Novus Ordo bishop opens poultry shop with church funds. Not unrelated: Stephen Brady of Roman Catholic Faithful on “the rampant sexual and financial corruption plaguing the Church.”

Do you want to work at the Vatican? There’s now a web site for you to apply! Hey, we know of at least one position that’s currently vacant

But not so fast: “Many Vatican employees, when they’re off the record and being honest, will tell you that their work environment is a largely joyless place, where initiative is discouraged, collaboration unwelcome, and superior performance unrecognized.” Oops!

For your ‘This Didn’t Age Well’ folder: In this newspaper article of Jan. 7, 1983, Novus Ordo monsignor dismisses newly-released book warning that certain high-ranking prelates are “soft on homosexuality”.

‘Awakening’ and ‘Encounter’: Vatican is happy to share that third ‘Christian-Taoist Colloquium’ has “helped us to encounter the sacred mystery of each other”.

Priceless! Canadian magazine commemorates ‘Saint’ Paul VI but can’t find any evidence of holiness! The author concludes: “Somehow [!], in the midst of all the turmoil, God led Paul VI to holiness, which is not to be found so much in what we do, but who we are, before that same God, in all the travails, exterior, but more so interior, that assail us.”

Traditionis Custodes in action: Diocese of Arlington, Virginia, eliminates 72 Traditional Latin Masses at three remaining parish churches.

For being suspect of Catholicism? Vatican refuses to allow traditionalist seminarians to be ordained.

Swiss ‘Catholic’ lay group publishes list of parishes offering ‘blessings’ to homosexual ‘couples’. We can all breathe a sigh of relief that it’s not a list of parishes offering the Traditional Latin Mass!

Uber-woke: The German ‘Catholic’ Synodal Way steering committee now incudes two males, one female, and a non-binary unicorn of sorts.

Novus Ordo apologist Steve Ray is over a decade late to the party, but apparently his ancient straw men are still good enough for publication by Crisis Magazine: Is a Pope Beyond Criticism?

Vatican-China Conference Endorses Communist Ideology. Hey, thats dovetails with Verona’s Communist Cry! Is anyone surprised, at this point?

Chinese ‘Cardinal’ Joseph Zen, 92, confesses: “I have often wasted my time following the program ‘Reason and Theology’ of Michael Lofton, this big man with a little beard (who would do well to hide his tattoo when he speaks like a theologian), I have been driven by curiosity to hear the hilarious nonsense he says.”

Oops! In a live video call with 12 university students, Francis gets an earful from “a bisexual student from the Philippines [who] asked the Pope to stop using ‘offensive language’…”! (In case you’re looking for context, check this out…)

Bergoglio’s henchman ‘Abp.’ Vincenzo Paglia calls for “new planetary humanism” at ‘climate justice’ conference

Former United States SSPX district superior Fr. Arnaud Rostand sentenced to 1-year in prison for molesting multiple underage boys. Sexual abuse is criminal and shameful no matter where it happens or by whom it is committed.

Did Ratzinger (Benedict XVI) Really Cover Up Abuse Scandals? Historian Michael Hesemann looks at the evidence (or lack thereof).

Some balanced thoughts and research on the abuse case against late Steubenville ‘charismatic godfather’ Fr. Michael Scanlan, TOR, can be found here.

Francis’ meeting with over 100 comedians was so bizarre that even the guests couldn’t figure out why he’d invited them. Was it really just to tell them that their (often irreligious, foul-mouthed) jokes “make God smile” and help us “dream of a better world”? Invitees included some notorious Americans: “Whoopi Goldberg is a paladin for the aborting of babies, and Stephen Colbert joked that Alabama’s abortion law took us back to the time of slavery, quipping that the bright side was that a pregnant woman now got to vote twice. Both are not comedians in the classic sense of the word but acerbic political satirists. Both are vulgarians and no strangers to political controversy”, writes Crisis Magazine.

Running a ‘poor church for the poor’ is expensive: Vatican budget deficit has increased.

No surprise there: Vatican News promotes Hellboy James Martin’s new book, Come Forth. Meanwhile, Hellboy says he knows ‘hundreds’ of homosexual priests: ‘They’ve been my mentors’. Now that would explain a lot!

German Novus Ordo bishop believes some people are born in the wrong body. That is nonsense, first and foremost, for the simple reason that human beings are not born in a body to begin with, as if we were ghosts in a machine. Rather, human beings are bodies, living bodies; and the body’s animating life principle is called its soul. When soul and body separate, it is called death. Basic common-sense philosophy.

No, Francis, Our Lady does not ‘unite’ Christians and Muslims.

They believe in a completely different church because theirs is a different religion: “The church must accept that it does not have the truth for itself – and become a ‘learning church’, demands the Prague theologian Tomas Halik.”

Long-time Novus Ordo radio host Al Kresta has died at the age of 73.

Sheep among wolves: Novus Ordo school safe environment coordinator fired after arrest for possessing child porn.

This won’t end well: Novus Ordo schools in the Philippines are capitulating to LGBT ideology. Novus Ordo schools in Canada did that years ago! And they’re, uh, proud of it to boot!

Speaking of which: New York Novus Ordo Priest Celebrates ‘Pride Mass’ Outside of Gay Monument — on LGBT Flag. And in New Jersey, it’s not that much different.

New FREE book by José Antonio Ureta: The Breached Dam: The Fiducia Supplicans Surrender to the Homosexual Movement. Case in point: ‘Catholic’ University of Dayton, Ohio, rededicates ‘LGBTQ+ Lounge’ to honor ‘husband’ of alumnus.

Newly-discovered Vatican documents show Legionaries of Christ founder Fr. Marcial Maciel Dellogado (1920-2008) was almost removed from the priesthood over sexual abuse allegations as far back as 1956.

If there’s one thing the world doesn’t need, it’s a “theology of the Mediterranean”.

Cool photos: Altar servers meet with Francis at Vatican, leave him some unwelcome presents.

Video: Dr. Robert Moynihan of Inside the Vatican interviews Paul L. Williams, who claims to have read a once-secret (but now supposedly declassified) document from the U.S. Department of State that reports the election of Cardinal Giuseppe Siri as Pope Gregory XVII on Oct. 26, 1958.

For Francis, reality is greater than ideas (see Evangelii Gaudium, n. 233): Having successfully modified the practice (‘reality’) first, now it’s time for the theory (‘ideas’) to follow suit: Francis Appoints Homosexualists to Shape Doctrine.

CAUTION! The Archdiocese of Vancouver, Canada, now has a ‘sacred covenant’ with the Indigenous Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc government at Kamloops. No joke.

Conservative Novus Ordo Phil Lawler has had enough of the Vatican’s Hallmark Liturgical Calendar.

Whenever it’s Corpus Christi and Francis bothers to show up and preach, you can bet your bottom dollar that there will be a lot of talk about bread, bread, bread!

So you think the liturgical life of German ‘Catholics’ is strange, huh? Wrong! Turns out it’s even stranger!

Just to give you an idea of how bad things are in Novus Ordo Land: ‘Bishop’ Robert Barron says he’s found an ally in notorious atheist comedian Bill Maher, who supports abortion even though he agrees it is “kind of” murder.

Synod insanity: “The Synod working document is full of ‘listening’, ‘circularity’, ‘relational conversion’ and ‘conversation in the Spirit’. For ‘walking together’ the how is sufficient, without knowing where to go.”

Finally, some good news: Post-Catholic Jesuit order “in profound decline”! They’re already leaving the island of Mallorca altogether.

False Archbishop of Washington: Joe Biden ‘picks and chooses’ parts of the Catholic faith. Hmm… and where might he have learned that idea? And who’s allowed him to get away with it?

After the European elections didn’t go his way, Francis gave a subliminal message to the world.

See, zero tolerance! Fourteen years after admitting to sexual abuse, Belgian Novus Ordo bishop Roger Vangheluwe is laicized.

In case you missed it: The Icon of Christ the Redeemer Falls Down During Bergoglio’s Easter ‘Mass’.

Where conservative Novus Ordos go to party: New Jersey’s annual ‘Catholicpalooza’ is on!

Who will succeed Francis when God calls him to judgment? John Allen and Damian Thompson provide some interesting information.

Something for everyone: Just because Francis preaches that all religions are willed by God, doesn’t mean he can’t also issue a plenary indulgence for World Grandparents’ Day! He knows how to keep his conservatives in the game…

Perhaps we should be happy that this year, the ‘modern art’ displayed in St. Nicholas’ Church in Innsbruck, Austria, is merely THIS JUNK.

Because it didn’t give him what he wanted: Clericalist Francis overrules synodal Synod. Not unrelated: Vatican’s Synod account on X deletes poll after 88% reject ‘synodality’.

Phil Lawler, author of Lost Shepherd, asks: “Why has Pope Francis not celebrated Mass in public for well over a year?”

Called to judgment: The ‘Rocking Abbot’, Benedictine Notker Wolf, dies suddenly at 83.

Also called to judgment: The father of the errors of contemporary theology, Jürgen Moltmann, is dead at 98.

Francis will be impressed: “On June 25, the U.S. Federation of the Sisters of St. Joseph held their second annual ‘Pride Month Prayer Service,’ sacrilegiously using Scripture to push the acceptance of sexual perversions in overt acts of blasphemy.” But don’t think it’s only about LGBT! “On the Facebook page for the event, the dissident sisters advertised that it would include testimonies of ‘LGBTQIA2S+ members of these communities.’”

Meanwhile in India: Franciscan Sisters of the Visitation engage in syncretist worship at inter-faith Hindu yoga shrine.

If ‘Pope’ Francis needs a defense attorney, Louie Verrecchio suggests Christopher Ferrara.

Bergoglio hasn’t visited a Muslim place of worship in a while, so it’s time for a trip to Indonesia and an ‘interfaith’ meeting at a mosque.

It’s well underway: The Masonic Plan to Destroy the Catholic Church with Ecumenism. This temporary success of the enemies of Christ is only possible because there has been no valid Pope for decades: “For the mystery of iniquity already worketh; only that he who now holdeth, do hold, until he be taken out of the way” (2 Thess 2:7).

Tradition in Action examines the eerie world of A.I. imagery (artificial intelligence).

The WM Review explains the ‘Cassiciacum Thesis’ of Bp. Guerard des Lauriers, O.P., and also looks at how a Pope would be elected if there are no cardinals: according to St. Robert Bellarmine, according to Cardinal Louis Billot, according to Cardinal Thomas de Vio Cajetan, and according to Fr. Gaspar Hurtado.
