Quick Summer Break at Novus Ordo Watch
until August 25, 2026

Dear Readers:
Novus Ordo Watch will be on a brief summer break until Aug. 25, 2026.
During that time, please expect
- no new blog posts, unless perhaps there occurs some really significant event or development
- fewer tweets on Twitter/X (@NovusOrdoWatch)
- no or minimal correspondence (answers to inquiries sent via email or via the web contact form)
- no podcasts
In the meantime, however, we are embedding our LIVE TWITTER/X FEED here (always accessible at this page, too). If you do not have your own Twitter/X account or are not logged in to the platform, the tweets below may not update in real time but may be delayed.

This image is making the rounds. Does anyone know if it's real or parody? I honestly can't tell. The Rev. Zuhlsdorf has it on his blog, with no source mentioned. I suspect it's satire. https://x.com/NovusOrdoWatch/status/2089446314039783481/photo/1

@liturgicalife Hey, you forgot 'Pius XIII' (Fr. Lucian Pulvermacher, OFM Cap). 😀
No, it's not just about the obligation to accept (although that is part of it). Part of it is also whether what it teaches and decrees is SAFE for a Catholic to accept, or whether it MUST be rejected.
Practically no one, apart from the Sedevacantists, denies that the Second Vatican Council was a valid council. The issue is, what innovations did it introduce which we are obliged to accept, and if none, do we all agree it can be ignored ? https://t.co/L8lOupSB4D
