On Tuesday, May 26, 2026 the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX or FSSPX), originally founded by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre (d. 1991), disclosed the names of the four priests whom they have chosen to receive episcopal consecration (=bishops’ ordination) on July 1.

They are Fr. Pascal Schreiber (from Switzerland), Fr. Michael Goldade (United States), Fr. Michel Poinsinet de Sivry (France), and Fr. Marc Hanappier (France). The announcement came via a communiqué from the SSPX General House in Menzingen, Switzerland, the day after ‘Pope’ Leo XIV released his first encyclical letter, Magnifica Humanitas.… READ MORE

Podcast: The Visibly False Church of Leo XIV (TRADCAST EXPRESS 226)

A true church with false teachings?

Podcast: The Visibly False Church of Leo XIV
(TRADCAST EXPRESS 226)

Our latest podcast episode, TRADCAST EXPRESS 226, was published on May 23. It is 29 minutes long and deals with two separate but related topics.

First, we focus on a curious phrase with which Robert Prevost (‘Pope Leo XIV’) described the Holy Eucharist recently. In his May 10, 2026 Regina Caeli address, he said: “As he turns the bread and wine into a living expression of his love, Christ says: ‘If you love me, you will keep my commandments’ (Jn 14:15)”.… READ MORE

ENCYCLICAL MAGNIFICA HUMANITAS

On Safeguarding the Human Person in the Time of Artificial Intelligence

May 15, 2026

The Vatican’s infinite text factory has just released another whopper of a document: Robert Prevost (a.k.a. ‘Pope Leo XIV’) has released his first Encyclical Letter. It is entitled Magnifica Humanitas (“Magnificent Humanity”).

In its English version, Magnifica Humanitas has 42,088 words. It consists of five chapters, an introduction, and a conclusion. The text includes a total of 245 numbered paragraphs, and it has 224 footnotes.

The Vatican has made the text of Magnifica Humanitas available in sundry languages, of which we make the following available as direct links:

Highlights of the encyclical letter’s contents are also available:

The following is a list of links with initial coverage, summaries, background, and commentary on Magnifica Humanitas, as well as related news, by sources of various stripes:

Home At Last: Transalpine Redemptorists Become Sedevacantists

Some wonderful news broke earlier this month, on May 2, the feast of St. Athanasius, Doctor of the Church:

The ‘Congregation of the Sons of the Most Holy Redeemer’ (Filii Sanctissimi Redemptoris or FSSR), headquartered on Papa Stronsay island off the northern coast of Scotland, published a formal document in which they disavow the Vatican II Church and its apostate counterfeit Catholicism, declare their allegiance to the true Roman Catholic religion, and explicitly repudiate Leo XIV and his predecessors through Paul VI, as being false popes.

In short: The ‘Transalpine Redemptorists’, as they are also known, have become sedevacantists.… READ MORE

Last Wednesday, on May 13, 2026, ‘His Eminence’ Víctor Manuel Fernández issued the following brief statement in his role as prefect of the Vatican’s so-called Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith:

With regard to the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X, we reiterate what has already been communicated. The episcopal ordinations announced by the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X [FSSPX or SSPX] do not have the requisite papal mandate.

One Year of ‘Pope’ Leo XIV: An Unpopular Reality Check

Inconvenient facts meet wishful thinking…

One Year of ‘Pope’ Leo XIV:
An Unpopular Reality Check

It was May 8, 2025, when all eyes were on the smoke stack atop the roof of the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City. Only approximately 24 hours had passed since the start of the conclave when white smoke began pouring out of the chimney, signaling to the world that a successor to ‘Pope’ Francis (Jorge Bergoglio) had been elected.

And so it was. Within about an hour, the Augustinian Rev. Robert F. Prevost of Chicago, United States, presented himself on the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica as the new ‘Pope’, as the head, that is, of the Vatican II Church.… READ MORE

Set to Promote Next-Level Sexual Perversion

The Vatican II Church in Germany has done it again.

While everyone is busy talking about whether homosexual ‘couples’ can receive blessings formally or only informally, the upcoming 5-day festival known as the ‘Catholic Convention’ (Katholikentag) is preparing people to accept the next stage in sexual perversity, one that makes ‘mere’ homosexuality look like small potatoes by comparison. It is called ‘BDSM’.

The so-called ‘Ecumenical Working Group on BDSM and Being Christian’ (Ökumenischer Arbeitskreis BDSM-und-Christsein) will be present with an information booth at the Katholikentag that is set to take place from May 13-17, 2026.… READ MORE

What Did ‘Pope’ John Paul II Really Say? That John the Baptist Would Protect ‘Islam’ or ‘This Land’?

On Mar. 21, 2000, the Polish apostate bishop Karol Wojtyla — better known as ‘Pope’ and ‘Saint’ John Paul II (r. 1978-2005) — was visiting the nation of Jordan as part of a larger pilgrimage to the Holy Land.

That day he visited what is held to be the site of Christ’s baptism at the River Jordan, and after he had recited a special prayer for the occasion, he gave some concluding remarks of gratitude and greeting and ended with these words (underlining added):

I will keep all the people of Jordan – Christians and Muslims – in my prayers, especially the sick and the elderly.
