Lefebvrists tinker with profession of faith…

Podcast: The SSPX and the ‘Legitimate’ Exercise of the Papacy
(TRADCAST EXPRESS 227)

Our latest podcast episode, TRADCAST EXPRESS 227, was published on June 25. It is 28 minutes long and deals with the big news that broke the day before: that the leadership of the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX or FSSPX), founded in 1970 by Abp. Marcel Lefebvre, had sent ‘Pope’ Leo XIV an open letter and, along with it, submitted a lengthy profession of faith that specifically opposes modern errors:

Spanish Novus Ordo Priest Laicized by Leo XIV for Rejecting Francis as Heretical Pseudo-Pope

Prevost punishes Rev. Francisco José Vegara Cerezo…

Spanish Novus Ordo Priest Laicized by Leo XIV for Rejecting Francis as Heretical Pseudo-Pope

Francisco José Vegara Cerezo, pictured above, is a Novus Ordo priest in the diocese of Orihuela-Alicante, Spain. Or rather, he was. The Church of Infinite Dignity, Limitless Mercy, and Perpetual Inclusion has decided that he is being expelled from the clerical state. This means that, for all intents and purposes, he is to be considered an unordained layman again.

The diocesan Novus Ordo bishop under whom this is happening is José Ignacio Munilla Aguirre (b. 1961). Munilla had referred the case of the Rev.… READ MORE

On the SSPX, the Old Covenant, and No Salvation Outside the Church: A Refutation of George Weigel

On the SSPX, the Old Covenant, and No Salvation Outside the Church: A Refutation of George Weigel

The well-known Novus Ordo lay theologian George Weigel has published an article against the Society of St. Pius X (FSSPX or SSPX) in the neo-conservative First Things magazine.

First Things was founded in 1989 by Rev. Richard John Neuhaus (1936-2009), a name that was once a familiar one in ‘orthodox’ Novus Ordo circles but that seems to have largely disappeared from public discourse in the last decade or so, at least online. Neuhaus was a convert to the Novus Ordo religion from Lutheranism and supported Hans Urs von Balthasar’s blasphemous “hope” that all people will go to Heaven.… READ MORE

The largest Muslim house of worship in the United States has just opened its doors in the city of Dearborn, Michigan. It is officially known as the Imam Al-Hasanain Mosque and is part of the Islamic Institute of America.

The Arab American News, a local newspaper in Dearborn, reports:

Hundreds of community members, religious leaders, elected officials and dignitaries gathered in Dearborn Heights earlier this month to celebrate the grand opening of the new headquarters of the Islamic Institute of America (IIOA) and the inauguration of the Imam Al-Hasanain Mosque, a $16 million project that community leaders describe as one of the largest and most significant Islamic developments in Michigan in recent years.

Pope Pius IX vs. Patriarch Audu: Full Text of Encyclical ‘Quae in Patriarchatu’ in Exclusive English Translation

Exclusive complete English translation…

Pope Pius IX vs. Patriarch Joseph VI Audu:
The Full Text of the Encyclical Quae in Patriarchatu

His Beatitude Mar Joseph VI Audo (1790-1878) was the Chaldean Catholic Patriarch of Babylon (in what is now Iraq) from 1848 until 1878.

His tenure was turbulent, as he at times ‘recognized’ but ‘resisted’ the authority of the Apostolic See. Patriarch Audo (or Audu) insisted on having autonomy in appointing and consecrating bishops, without or even against the approval of the Supreme Pontiff, and he acted accordingly. He also considered himself to have jurisdiction over the Syro-Malabar Church in India.… READ MORE

Novus Ordo Bishop Receives Rabbi’s Blessing at Jewish Temple

Mark Edward Brennan (b. 1947) is the outgoing Novus Ordo bishop of the diocese of Wheeling-Charleston, West Virginia. He is currently in his ‘lame duck’ period, one might say: His resignation was officially accepted on May 1, but his successor, who was appointed the same day, has not yet taken over. The installation of ‘Bishop’ Evelio Menjívar-Ayala (b. 1970) is scheduled for July 2.

This past Friday, on June 5, 2026, the Most Rev. Mark Brennan was in attendance at the Shabbat Shalom Friday evening service at Temple Shalom in Wheeling, to be honored by the presiding rabbi, Joshua B.… READ MORE

Bp. Sanborn dismantles Prevost’s facade…

LEO WATCH, Episodes 8 and 9

“It is not the Church that attracts, but Christ”

“We are one! We already are! Let us recognize it and…make it visible!”

Since May 8 of last year, the Rev. Robert F. Prevost has been running the Vatican II Church as ‘Pope Leo XIV’.

The sedevacantist podcast program LEO WATCH evaluates Leo’s public actions and teachings from the perspective of traditional Roman Catholicism, that is, that which the entire world knew to be Roman Catholicism until the death of Pope Pius XII in 1958.

LEO WATCH is produced by Roman Catholic Media on a monthly basis.… READ MORE

‘Go See It’: Conservative Novus Ordo Bishop Recommends Lewd and Profanity-Filled Gory Horror Movie

In a post on X/Twitter yesterday, the Vatican II Church’s ‘media bishop’ Robert Barron gave a ringing endorsement to the gruesome horror flick Obsession that is currently running in theaters across the United States.

The motion picture has officially been given an “R” (“Restricted”) rating by the secular authority (MPAA), meaning anyone under 17 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or adult guardian to be allowed to see it in a movie theater. The reason given for the rating is “strong bloody violence, grisly images, sexual content, pervasive language, and brief graphic nudity.”… READ MORE

Now in English:
The Drama of the End of Times
by Fr. Emmanuel André, O.S.B.

The Benedictine Abbot Emmanuel André (1826-1903) is famous in France for his spiritual and devotional writings. In a series of articles published in 1885-86, he laid out an interpretation of what is commonly believed will happen in the last stages of human history, before the Second Coming of Christ and the General Judgement.

Translated into English for the first time by Juliana Staab from the original French edition, these articles have now been published as one book by Shield of Faith Press and can be purchased directly from their web site:
