Chronicling the unending infernal chaos of the Vatican II Church…

It’s Lent. Why wouldn’t a Novus Ordo basilica have a humpback whale sculpture installed? (see also video above)

When Novus Ordos are not kosher enough for the Vatican II Church: “…broad catechetical education about Jews and Judaism for Catholics is more needed than ever”, say experts in the relations between Talmudic Judaism and the Novus Ordo religion.

Leo XIV says he ‘cannot comment’ on Jimmy Lai’s imprisonment in China. Of course not — wouldn’t want to upset the Chicoms!

Anton Faber, the scandalous chaplain of St. Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna, Austria, keeps showing up to high society events with a beautiful blonde woman he calls his “constant companion.” What about celibacy? That’s an “elastic concept” for him!

Not unrelated: Obituaries of two Belgian priests suggest they had illegitimate ‘partners’ — diocese reacts taciturnly.

In Germany, Novus Ordo theologians are now the victims of their own success: No one cares about ‘Catholic theology’ anymore!

Welcome to the Church of Universal Inclusion and Infinite Dignity: Brazilian archbishop declares ‘excommunication’ for unauthorized Latin Mass attendance. (Unlike attendance at the Brazilian Satanic carnival perhaps?)

More estrogen, please: Vatican synod report urges women’s input in preparing future priests.

Nothing to see here: “A ‘missionary’ bishop made ‘Venerable’ and green-lighted for the beatification process by Pope Leo XIV allowed indigenous youth to touch his genitals and shared a bed naked with a youth who had previously made ‘provocative homosexual attempts,’ recently published reports show.” How did this happen? “This incident was facilitated by the fact Labaka habitually lived nude with the Huaorani, in order to ‘adapt’ to their culture. As he explained in the Huaorani Chronicle, ‘They lived naked and I too was often naked like them.’ Instead of approaching their nudism from the point of view of Catholic teaching, which understands clothing to be a necessary safeguard following original sin, Labaka claimed that the Huaorani did not need clothes in their ‘natural morality.'” Looks like the not-so-noble savages converted him, instead of the other way around!

“Faith-based vacationing”: Novus Ordo ‘Pilgrimage Cruises’ are becoming increasingly popular.

They always have to take the focus off the Suffering Christ and make it about suffering man somehow: Novus Ordo parish to offer Stations of the Cross with focus on mental illness.

Oh, wow, this year Lent and Ramadan began on the same day! Time for a “Joint Reflection by the Bishop and the Imam”! (Come on, it’s a “shared sacred moment to reflect and walk together toward God…”!)

Now they’re coming for the East: Vatican creates ‘Eastern Canonical Commission’ for revising their Canon Law in ‘light’ of synodality. Sounds promising! 😉

Aww, shucks! Looks like the Big Ecumenism Show is suffering a new setback because now the Orthodox patriarchates of Moscow and Constantinople can’t get along….

Hard to argue with that: “Someone needs to explain why Jeffrey Epstein was making donations to Catholic Charities of the Virgin Islands, specifically mentioning youth programs.”

In case it wasn’t obvious yet, Hellboy James Martin told comedian Stephen Colbert “that Pope Leo told him he plans to continue Pope Francis’ LGBT agenda.”

The new Archlayman of New York, Ronald Hicks, says he wants a church that “shows respect for all” and builds unity. Oh, really? So, he wants a church that respects Nazis, racists, misogynists, environmental polluters, criminals who steal from the poor, those who disrespect transgenders, and people who are cruel to animals? Doubt it!

A ‘Catholic priest’ in Ireland has claimed that the purpose of Mass is not the worship of God but to “share a meal”. (Well, he may be right if he means the Novus Ordo ‘Mass’ specifically!) He then blasphemously denounces the traditional administration of Holy Communion on the tongue as “feeding people the same way as we feed animals”! Of course he’s in ‘full communion’ with Leo XIV.

No surprise there: Archlayman of Oklahoma City mourns execution of murderer because human dignity.

Antonio Cambria describes the evening when Hellboy James Martin gave a talk in Pennsylvania and spoke no heresy because “he didn’t have to because his gray-haired audience appeared to have already bought into the heterodoxy. You can’t drive off a cliff you’ve already plummeted from.”

The new normal for ‘papal Masses’? At pastoral visit in Rome, Leo XIV gets altar girls!

Novus Ordo theologian Dr. Larry Chapp, who says he loves the ugly Resurrection sculpture in the Vatican’s Paul VI Hall, defends the champions of the ‘New Theology’ (ressourcement theology) against the charge of Modernism, says Vatican II vindicated them. While it is true that the New Theology is not identical to the classical Modernism condemned by Pope St. Pius X, nevertheless, as Fr. Réginald Garrigou-Lagrange noted: “Where is the new theology going? It is returning to Modernism….” (“La nouvelle theologie, où-va-t-elle?”, 1946). Either way, the Nouvelle Théologie has had decades to show just how much of a vibrant improvement it is over the Thomist-scholastic system, and now its endless rotten fruits are staring us all in the face.

Sorry, folks, but St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican isn’t getting a rooftop café, only an expanded “refreshment point”.

War, not peace, is what the new year brings, even though (or because?) the Vatican-sponsored “17th Annual Interreligious Service for Peace” was held in late January.

In related news: “A Muslim prayer, a Hindu prayer, and a Buddhist reflection were included in the official prayer vigil guide of the 12th World Day of Prayer and Awareness against Human Trafficking” which the Vatican co-sponsors.

See, they can intervene if they really care to: “The Vicariate of Rome ordered the removal of a painted angel’s face resembling Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni in a Catholic church after public outcry, meanwhile a controversial 2017 mural in Terni – featuring a nude Archbishop Paglia alongside other explicit elements – and many works of disgraced former Jesuit Marko Rupnik remain untouched.”

Lepanto Institute calls on ‘Pope’ Leo to laicize New Mexico priest over homosexual ‘domestic partnership’. Good luck with that!

Worshipping Wokeness: Washington, D.C. auxiliary Roy E. Campbell Jr. blasphemes, says God is ‘DEI’ because Christ is the Agnus Dei (Lamb of God), and “DEI means God is diversity, He is equity, and He is inclusion”.

Vatican to use Artificial Intelligence to translate ‘Masses’ at St. Peter’s into 60 languages ​​in real time. If only they had one universal language for all!

Boomer hymns for Zoomers: Irish pub singer brings popular Novus Ordo Mass hymns to Gen Z.

Leo XIV has released the official ‘papal’ prayer intentions for 2027, and guess what: Neither the conversion of sinners nor the salvation of souls is one of them. In fact, the intentions are mostly the usual horizontal stuff about self-improvement, social responsibility, and making the world a better place.

In his first Lenten message, Leo XIV exhorts people to fast from “hurtful words” — but what is considered ‘hurtful’ nowadays?

Leo XIV approves of newly updated Charta Oecumenica. This ecumenical charter includes the commitment “to oppose all forms of anti-Semitism and anti-Judaism in the church and in society” (p. 9; underlining added).

The German Modernist pseudo-bishop Georg Bätzing suggests Church teaching on homosexuality could be “changed for the sake of the people”. And his boss, ‘Pope’ Leo XIV, isn’t exactly opposing the idea.

What could go wrong? New ‘Archbishop’ in Manitoba hopes to blend Indigenous and Catholic spirituality.

Strange demotion: Leo XIV transfers Gaspard Béby Gnéba from being the diocesan bishop of Man (Ivory Coast) to being auxiliary bishop in the Archdiocese of Abidjan.

Who could have seen that coming? New Vatican-approved Marian statutes reflect heresy of Modernism. This comes roughly three months after the publication of the Vatican’s doctrinal note Mater Populi Fidelis, which Dr. John Lamont argues is “plainly heretical” and “motivated by hatred of the Mother of God”.

Moslems currently observe Ramadan, and the Vatican’s interreligious head honcho is confident that Islamic fasting can lead to an “inner transformation [that can] become a catalyst for a renewed world”!

Have you heard of the infamous annual Los Angeles Religious Education Congress? Leo XIV knows it’s “an opportunity for true spiritual renewal” — especially when Hellboy speaks there! (Remember this fun liturgical clip from 2010?)

American Novus Ordos launch crowdfunding effort to gift Leo XIV an incredibly expensive doorstopper. (Come on, it’s not like he would actually wear a papal tiara, the underlying theology of which he repudiates with a passion.) Meanwhile, Leo XIV appoints bishop who attended Masonic lodge opening in Italy.

Judging by the ‘red line’ criteria he himself gave in 1968, the Australian apologist Frank J. Sheed (1897-1981) would have to conclude that the Church of Vatican II is definitely a new church by now.

March is the Month of St. Joseph. Benizi Press has released a first-ever English translation of Father Jean Huguet’s Practical Month of St. Joseph (from the 1880 French edition).

In a second response to the Rev. Thomas Crean, O.P, the WM Review demonstrates that the Vatican II Sect has exactly zero of the four marks that perpetually identify the Church founded by Christ. (And S.D. Wright talks about the topic on this show with Stephen Kokx.)

A Polish Catholic theologian writing in the 1910s predicted a false Modernist church with a puppet hierarchy that looks an awful lot like the Conciliar/Synodal Church of the Vatican II religion.
