‘Clear Fraud’: Ohio State Coroners’ Convention Agrees Sister Lucy of Fatima Replaced by Impostor

[UPDATE : The prior title of this post was inaccurate and has been amended. The Ohio Coroners’ Association takes no official position on this; we are talking about the private opinion of individual coroners/scientists.]

On May 9, 2025, Dr. Peter Chojnowski of Sister Lucy Truth gave a presentation at the annual convention of the Ohio Coroners’ Association in Columbus, Ohio, regarding the main findings of the Sister Lucy Truth project.

Over 100 physicians and scientists in attendance got to see the scientific evidence and expert testimony for the thesis that the Fatima visionary Lucia dos Santos was replaced by another woman, an impostor, in the 1960s.… READ MORE

Muslim Imam Chants Koran Verses During Interreligious Service at Austrian Cathedral

A terrible tragedy occurred in Austria ten days ago: “A former pupil killed 10 people and himself at a secondary school in Austria’s second [largest] city, Graz, on Tuesday in the worst school shooting in Austria’s modern history”, Reuters reported on June 10, 2025.

Graz is the capital of the Austrian state of Styria. The official state memorial service was of the interreligious kind, of course, and was held at the local Roman Catholic cathedral on June 17.… READ MORE

Is Leo XIV Correcting Francis?
Against the Magisterial ‘Vibe Shift’ of Eric Sammons

Mr. Eric Sammons, magisterial vibe shift detector

Eric Sammons, the editor-in-chief of Crisis Magazine, has once again cranked out some foolish and dangerous claims about the Catholic Faith.

In the June 3, 2025 episode of his Crisis Point Podcast, entitled “Pope Leo Contradicts Pope Francis”, he suggests that when Popes correct a teaching of their predecessors, they do so not openly or directly but by means of a ‘vibe shift’. This does not pose a problem for the Catholic magisterium, he maintains, because papal teaching isn’t truly magisterial of itself; rather, only subsequent repetition by future Popes and acceptance by the Church as a whole, drawn out over a long period of time, renders a papal teaching genuinely magisterial.… READ MORE

Why you’re not Novus Ordo anymore… 

Flashback 1973:
A Novus Ordo Pentecost in the Church With the Red Dot

We’re currently in the Octave of Pentecost, so why not take a look at how Pentecost was celebrated in 1973 in the Ludwigskirche (Church of St. Louis) in Ibbenbüren, Germany? By that time, the Novus Ordo liturgical revolution was in full swing! The image above gives a preview.

Yes, we are talking about a ‘Roman Catholic’ church, part of the diocese of Münster. The church had been consecrated in 1952 for Catholic worship of the Most Holy Trinity. But then came ‘Saints’ John XXIII and Paul VI and brought us the Second Vatican Council along with its infamous ‘spirit’, which Germany was particularly enamored with, and which was anticipated in various ways there in the years before the council, especially architecturally.… READ MORE

Marshall quickly deleted pre-conclave episode critical of Leo XIV…

Taylor Marshall’s About-Face on Robert Prevost:
From Worst-Choice Candidate to Hope for the Church?

Imagine you’re a ‘trusted Catholic influencer’ with a huge following and you publish a video about who in your opinion would be among the worst possible candidates for Pope.

For Dr. Taylor Marshall that distinction belonged to ‘Cardinal’ Pietro Parolin, but since his chances had tanked in the days just before the 2025 conclave due to alleged involvement in a financial scandal, among other things, Marshall wasn’t terribly worried about him anymore. The next in line for worst candidate in his estimation was — wait for it — ‘Cardinal’ Robert Francis Prevost.… READ MORE

LEO WATCH, Episode 1

Robert Prevost’s First Few Weeks as ‘Pope’ Leo XIV

For almost a month now, the Vatican II Church has been under new management. After the death of Jorge Bergoglio (‘Pope Francis’) on Apr. 21, the conclave to choose his successor ended on May 8 after only four ballots, and Robert F. Prevost stepped onto the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica as ‘Pope Leo XIV’.

With Francis’ demise, the long-running FRANCIS WATCH program produced by True Restoration has now also come to an end, although all 48 audio episodes naturally remain available for free listening and downloading at FrancisWatch.orgREAD MORE

Response to another flawed semi-trad argument…

Don’t Be Like Judas!
(Nor Like Eric Sammons, For That Matter)

OK, so we doctored this screenshot a little: The painting on the left doesn’t actually show the betrayal of Judas

Eric Sammons, editor-in-chief of Crisis Magazine, recently released a video clip on YouTube that’s a composite of highlights from his 35-minute Crisis Point podcast episode “Don’t Be Judas” of Apr. 15, 2025.

As the clip is less than a minute long (a so-called YouTube ‘short’), a lot more people will be exposed to what Sammons says there than would take the time to sit through the full-length episode.… READ MORE

Madness in Paderborn Cathedral: Absurd Performance with Diaper-Wearing Chickens, Scythes, and Half-Naked Dancers

What just took place at the ‘Roman Catholic’ cathedral of Paderborn, Germany, is so absurd and deranged that it is difficult to believe it took place even after seeing it with one’s own eyes.

For a cultural exhibit associated with the anniversary celebrations for 1250 years of Westphalia, an inaugural ceremony was held on May 15, 2025, in what once was (and ‘officially’ still is) the Roman Catholic Cathedral of Paderborn. The sacred edifice is a historic church building whose origins reach back to at least the 13th century; it is dedicated to Saints Mary, Kilian, and Liborius.… READ MORE

Leo XIV and the Sexual Abuse Crisis:
How Did Robert Prevost Deal With Misconduct Cases?

Then-‘Cardinal’ Robert F. Prevost prays the Rosary for Francis in St. Peter’s Square (Mar. 3, 2025)

Since his election as ‘Pope Leo XIV’, there has naturally been a flood of information published about Robert Francis Prevost, the new occupant of the Vatican’s Apostolic Palace. The man has a formidable resume as an Augustinian priest, later prior of the order, then bishop in Peru, and finally curial cardinal in the Vatican as head of the so-called Dicastery for Bishops — until the conclave chose him to be the head of the Vatican II Church (‘Pope’) on May 8, 2025.… READ MORE

Pope St. Gregory I on the Church just before the Antichrist: ‘Words of Doctrine are Silent, Miracles Removed’

Cutout of Pope Saint Gregory the Great by Francisco de Goya (1746-1828)

The American author, historian, former White House speechwriter, and scholar Joshua Charles appeared on an episode of Life Site‘s ‘Faith and Reason’ podcast with John-Henry Westen on Mar. 26, 2025, entitled, “End times prophecies [of] the Church fathers revealed”. Charles is a recent convert (2019) who espouses a recognize-and-resist type of traditionalism.

Yesterday, a 5-minute extract from the episode was published on YouTube with the no less intriguing title, “The Antichrist: Warnings from the Early Church”.… READ MORE

Podcast: Dangerous Excitement over ‘Pope’ Leo XIV
(TRADCAST EXPRESS 209)

Our latest podcast episode, TRADCAST EXPRESS 209, has been published. It concerns the dangerous wave of excitement over ‘Pope Leo XIV’ (Robert F. Prevost) that has been seen in the last ten days among recognize-and-resist traditionalists.

In this podcast episode we take a look in particular at one of Leo’s greatest cheerleaders currently, professional YouTube influencer Dr. Taylor Marshall of Infiltration fame. Although lambasting Prevost on May 5 as the worst possible candidate the conclave could choose, by May 9 — one day after Prevost’s election — Marshall was touting him as the right man for the job. … READ MORE

Welcome to ‘Paddy’s Wigwam’:
Liverpool Cathedral in All its Glory

As we take a break from building our new topical page on ‘Pope Leo XIV’, it’s time for another post showcasing a horrendously ugly Novus Ordo church.

Today’s specimen is the metropolitan cathedral of Liverpool, England. Its official name is Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King, although among locals it is also known, more accurately, as “Paddy’s Wigwam”.

On the official cathedral web site we read: “The Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King is a dramatic icon of faith, architecture, and human endeavour.… READ MORE

The Conclave Elects Leo XIV:
Initial Thoughts by Bp. Donald Sanborn

In a livestream broadcast shortly after the election of Robert Prevost as ‘Pope Leo XIV’ on May 8, 2025, His Excellency Bishop Donald J. Sanborn of Most Holy Trinity Seminary in Reading, Pennsylvania, sat down with Stephen Heiner of Roman Catholic Media to discuss the 2025 conclave, the new papal claimant, and the post-Francis era that has now begun:
