Podcast: The Amusing and the Curious
(Pre-Conclave Catch-Up)
TRADCAST EXPRESS 211

Our latest podcast episode, TRADCAST EXPRESS 211, has been published.

It is a special ‘catch-up’ episode discussing, although not exclusively, some items of interest that took place during the Novus Ordo sede vacante period, the few weeks after the death of Jorge Bergoglio (Francis) and before the election of Robert Prevost (Leo XIV).

In particular, we consider the not-so-bright question Taylor Marshall tweeted on May 5, “What should the Cardinals do if a non-Catholic is elected Pope?”. Then we take a look at a curious statement made by ‘Fr.’… READ MORE

‘Clear Fraud’: Ohio State Coroners’ Convention Agrees Sister Lucy of Fatima Replaced by Impostor

[UPDATE : The prior title of this post was inaccurate and has been amended. The Ohio Coroners’ Association takes no official position on this; we are talking about the private opinion of individual coroners/scientists.]

On May 9, 2025, Dr. Peter Chojnowski of Sister Lucy Truth gave a presentation at the annual convention of the Ohio Coroners’ Association in Columbus, Ohio, regarding the main findings of the Sister Lucy Truth project.

Over 100 physicians and scientists in attendance got to see the scientific evidence and expert testimony for the thesis that the Fatima visionary Lucia dos Santos was replaced by another woman, an impostor, in the 1960s.… READ MORE

A terrible tragedy occurred in Austria ten days ago: “A former pupil killed 10 people and himself at a secondary school in Austria’s second [largest] city, Graz, on Tuesday in the worst school shooting in Austria’s modern history”, Reuters reported on June 10, 2025.

Graz is the capital of the Austrian state of Styria. The official state memorial service was of the interreligious kind, of course, and was held at the local Roman Catholic cathedral on June 17.… READ MORE

Is Leo XIV Correcting Francis? Against the Magisterial ‘Vibe Shift’ of Eric Sammons

Using false theology to refute false theology won’t work…

Is Leo XIV Correcting Francis?
Against the Magisterial ‘Vibe Shift’ of Eric Sammons

Mr. Eric Sammons, magisterial vibe shift detector

Eric Sammons, the editor-in-chief of Crisis Magazine, has once again cranked out some foolish and dangerous claims about the Catholic Faith.

In the June 3, 2025 episode of his Crisis Point Podcast, entitled “Pope Leo Contradicts Pope Francis”, he suggests that when Popes correct a teaching of their predecessors, they do so not openly or directly but by means of a ‘vibe shift’. This does not pose a problem for the Catholic magisterium, he maintains, because papal teaching isn’t truly magisterial of itself; rather, only subsequent repetition by future Popes and acceptance by the Church as a whole, drawn out over a long period of time, renders a papal teaching genuinely magisterial.… READ MORE

Flashback 1973: A Novus Ordo Pentecost in the Church With the Red Dot

Why you’re not Novus Ordo anymore… 

Flashback 1973:
A Novus Ordo Pentecost in the Church With the Red Dot

We’re currently in the Octave of Pentecost, so why not take a look at how Pentecost was celebrated in 1973 in the Ludwigskirche (Church of St. Louis) in Ibbenbüren, Germany? By that time, the Novus Ordo liturgical revolution was in full swing! The image above gives a preview.

Yes, we are talking about a ‘Roman Catholic’ church, part of the diocese of Münster. The church had been consecrated in 1952 for Catholic worship of the Most Holy Trinity. But then came ‘Saints’ John XXIII and Paul VI and brought us the Second Vatican Council along with its infamous ‘spirit’, which Germany was particularly enamored with, and which was anticipated in various ways there in the years before the council, especially architecturally.… READ MORE

Taylor Marshall’s About-Face on Robert Prevost: From Worst-Choice Candidate to Hope for the Church?

Taylor Marshall’s About-Face on Robert Prevost:
From Worst-Choice Candidate to Hope for the Church?

Imagine you’re a ‘trusted Catholic influencer’ with a huge following and you publish a video about who in your opinion would be among the worst possible candidates for Pope.

For Dr. Taylor Marshall that distinction belonged to ‘Cardinal’ Pietro Parolin, but since his chances had tanked in the days just before the 2025 conclave due to alleged involvement in a financial scandal, among other things, Marshall wasn’t terribly worried about him anymore. The next in line for worst candidate in his estimation was — wait for it — ‘Cardinal’ Robert Francis Prevost.… READ MORE

Introducing LEO WATCH with Bishop Donald Sanborn – Episode 1

Bp. Sanborn tears down Prevost’s facade…

LEO WATCH, Episode 1

Robert Prevost’s First Few Weeks as ‘Pope’ Leo XIV

For almost a month now, the Vatican II Church has been under new management. After the death of Jorge Bergoglio (‘Pope Francis’) on Apr. 21, the conclave to choose his successor ended on May 8 after only four ballots, and Robert F. Prevost stepped onto the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica as ‘Pope Leo XIV’.

With Francis’ demise, the long-running FRANCIS WATCH program produced by True Restoration has now also come to an end, although all 48 audio episodes naturally remain available for free listening and downloading at FrancisWatch.org… READ MORE

Don’t Be Like Judas! (Nor Like Eric Sammons, For That Matter)

Response to another flawed semi-trad argument…

Don’t Be Like Judas!
(Nor Like Eric Sammons, For That Matter)

OK, so we doctored this screenshot a little: The painting on the left doesn’t actually show the betrayal of Judas

Eric Sammons, editor-in-chief of Crisis Magazine, recently released a video clip on YouTube that’s a composite of highlights from his 35-minute Crisis Point podcast episode “Don’t Be Judas” of Apr. 15, 2025.

As the clip is less than a minute long (a so-called YouTube ‘short’), a lot more people will be exposed to what Sammons says there than would take the time to sit through the full-length episode.… READ MORE
