This post was updated after it was first published to correct an error in a translation from the original German.

In a recent interview given to the German Certamen association, Bishop Athanasius Schneider, auxiliary of the diocese of Maria Santissima in Astana, Kazakhstan, answers questions regarding his position on the tensions between ‘Pope’ Leo XIV and the Lefebvrist Society of St. Pius X (SSPX or FSSPX).

The SSPX has announced episcopal consecrations for July 1, which will merit their bishops a decree of excommunication from Rome because they are acting independently and without the canonically required ‘papal mandate’ from Leo XIV.… READ MORE

On Jan. 28, 2026, Dame Sarah Elisabeth Mullally (b. 1962) was elected to succeed Justin Welby as the 106th Anglican Archbishop of Canterbury.

‘Her Grace’ was officially installed in Canterbury Cathedral on Mar. 25, 2026. It was an installation/enthronement only because her ‘ordination’, which made her a bishop according to Anglican theology, had already taken place on July 22, 2015, for her first post as ‘Bishop’ of Crediton.… READ MORE

Now in English: Catechism of Timely Truths Opposed to Contemporary Errors by Bp. Antônio de Castro Mayer

On Jan. 3, 1949, Bishop Antonio de Castro Mayer (1904-1991) became the local ordinary of the diocese of Campos, Brazil. He had been appointed coadjutor by Pope Pius XII ten months earlier.

In 1953, His Excellency issued two important documents in his diocese, one entitled ‘Pastoral Letter on the Problems of the Modern Apostolate’, the other ‘Catechism of Timely Truths Opposed to Contemporary Errors’. Although they have been available in Portuguese and French for a long time, it is only now that they are finally available in English, under one cover — including also a set of specific guidelines Bp.… READ MORE

‘Mother Earth’ Comes to Church: Art Installation ‘GAIA’ in German Basilica

Talk about a ‘global’ church!

‘Mother Earth’ Comes to Church:
Art Installation ‘GAIA’ in German Basilica

Opening the Church to the world was the idea behind the so-called Second Vatican Council (1962-65). How that’s going can currently be seen in the Basilica of St. James in Straubing, part of the diocese of Regensburg, Germany. There a giant, illuminated replica of our globe is hanging from the ceiling as part of a touring exhibition meant to raise awareness concerning our planet.

The installation is called ‘GAIA’, just like the Greek earth goddess, and was created by artist Luke Jerram.… READ MORE

Robert Prevost’s 1995 Pachamama Worship: Video Presentation of the Evidence

Future ‘Pope’ Leo XIV caught in pagan earth worship ritual…

Robert Prevost’s 1995 Pachamama Worship:
Video Presentation of the Evidence

The revelation, first made on Mar. 18, that the Rev. Robert Prevost, O.S.A. (now ‘Pope’ Leo XIV) participated in a Pachamama worship ritual as part of an eco-theology conference in Brazil in 1995, has triggered a wide range of reactions on the internet.

Among them have been outrage, bewilderment, confusion, disbelief, anger, frustration; but also strategic silence, mockery, and a rush to downplay, dismiss, or deny it, combined with attempts to discredit the messengers.

The evidence, however, is solid, and it is now the Vatican’s turn to comment on it.… READ MORE

[UPDATE 20-MAR-2026: Watch video presentation of evidence here]

No, this isn’t fake news. No, the evidence wasn’t AI-generated. No, there are no exaggerations here. No, it’s not a translation issue. Yes, it really was Robert Francis Prevost (the one who now claims to be ‘Pope Leo XIV’). Yes, it really was the Andean earth goddess Pachamama (aka Gaia or Mother Earth). And no, there’s no misunderstanding here.

In the Vatican II Church, it has long been in vogue to make the Lenten-penitential Stations of the Cross devotion (aka Via Crucis or Way of the Cross) not so much about the Holy Passion of Our Blessed Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as about the ‘passion of man’ — sufferings experienced by men on account of wars, injustice, persecution, discrimination, etc.

Jorge Bergoglio (‘Pope Francis’), in particular, was a big fan of directing people away from the divine “Man of Sorrows” (Isaias 53:3) and point them to ‘suffering man’ instead:

In making the genuine Stations of the Cross, Catholics meditate on the sorrowful journey of the Lord Jesus from Pilate’s court to Mount Calvary, carrying the cross on his shoulders all the way to the place of His Crucifixion.… READ MORE

Last October, a controversy erupted after it became known that the Vatican Apostolic Library in Vatican City was providing Muslim visitors with a room for private prayer upon request. We pointed out that this was but an instance of “Vatican II theology in action”, and so it was.

But now, a ‘Roman Catholic’ parish in northeastern Italy has taken this logic a step further and allowed Muslims from a nearby community to use one of its event venues for carrying out their Friday prayers during Ramadan.… READ MORE

Leo XIV: ‘This Is Not the Time For Opposition Between One Church and Another’!

In his Angelus address of this past Sunday, Mar. 8, 2026, Robert Francis Prevost (‘Pope Leo XIV’) reflected on Christ’s encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well (see John 4).

After telling his listeners that the Lord Jesus wants them to “recognize God’s surprises!” and that “Jesus was so spiritually nourished by God’s desire to reach people on the deepest levels that he even forgot to eat…” (italics added), the ‘Pope’ from Chicago informed the public:

This is not the time for opposition between one church and another, between “us” and “them”: those who worship God seek to be men and women of peace, who worship him in Spirit and in truth (cf.

Harry Potter-Themed Ecumenical Service Draws Hundreds

On the evening of Feb. 28, 2026, the Herz-Jesu-Kirche (Heart of Jesus Church) in Herne, Germany, part of the archdiocese of Paderborn, was the scene of an ecumenical service of a different kind.

Whereas an ecumenical pseudo-liturgy in which ‘Catholics’ (Novus Ordos) and Protestants worship together would be bad enough, this one added another layer of evil: It was Harry Potter-themed.

For those who are unfamiliar, Harry Potter is an immensely popular series of ‘fantasy’ books written by J.K.… READ MORE

Conservative Novus Ordo Bishop Warns of ‘Tradwives’ Trend!

The Most Rev. Stefan Oster (b. 1965) is the counterfeit ‘Roman Catholic bishop’ of the diocese of Passau, Germany. A perpetually-professed Salesian since 1999, he was appointed to his current role by the false ‘Pope’ Francis in 2014. Oster is considered ‘conservative’ by comparison with his mostly über-Modernist colleagues; and although that is surely accurate, it doesn’t say a whole lot, as we will now see.

In an elaborate statement published by him on Feb. 26, 2026 on his personal blog and also released as a video, Bishop Oster warns against the (clearly politically-incorrect) surge in young women who present themselves online as happy and fulfilled ‘tradwives’, or as aspiring to become such.… READ MORE

A Challenge to Lefebvrism:
Some Inconvenient Questions for the Society of St. Pius X

Long-time readers of this blog know that we have critiqued and exposed the errors of the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX), founded by Abp. Marcel Lefebvre, many times. Here are some examples:

In view of the schism controversy surrounding the upcoming SSPX episcopal consecrations, it will be appropriate to reissue, in somewhat modified and updated form, a challenge to the clergy and/or lay adherents of the SSPX that was first published years ago.… READ MORE

This morning, Feb. 24, the assembly elected a new president. He is ‘Bishop’ Heiner Wilmer, the local ordinary of Hildesheim:

What we are reporting in this post took place in Mexico nine months ago.
