Vatican II Church Permits Protestants and Orthodox to Receive Catholic Communion in Particular Cases

The well-known Protestant prior of the ecumenical Taizé community, Brother Roger Schutz (1915-2005), can be seen here receiving [Novus Ordo] Communion in St. Peter’s Basilica on Oct. 1, 1999. (image: © KNA-Bild) John Paul II knew him well and even wrote a ‘papal’ message to him on Nov. 30, 1999. At John Paul II’s funeral on Apr. 8, 2005, Br. Roger also received Communion, from the hands of then-‘Cardinal’ Joseph Ratzinger (SEE HERE). Contrary to certain rumors, Schutz never converted to Catholicism.… READ MORE

Did you know Vatican City is run by a woman?

That’s right. Sister Raffaella Petrini, F.S.E., is the president of the Governorate of Vatican City State. She was appointed to the post by ‘Pope’ Francis on Mar. 1, 2025.

On Thursday, Sep. 24, 2026, she had the honor of presiding over the unveiling of a new sculpture in the Vatican Gardens.… READ MORE

When Pope Benedict XV Reminded the Jews that Salvation is Found in the Gospels

Vatican Letter of Feb. 9, 1916

When Pope Benedict XV Reminded the Jews that Salvation is Found in the Gospels

Last week ‘Bishop’ Joseph Charles Bambera of Scranton, Pennsylvania, caused a ruckus when in his role as chairman of the USCCB Committee on Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs, he posted the following video message for Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the year in Talmudic Judaism:

.
Bambera began thus: “As our Jewish friends and neighbors observe Yom Kippur, the day of Atonement, I want to extend my warmest wishes for a meaningful and a peaceful day.”

So far, so bad.… READ MORE

Paul VI Just Before Closing Vatican II:
‘I Am About to Blow the Seven Trumpets of the Apocalypse’

The French philosopher and theologian Jean Guitton (1901-1999), a layman, was a personal friend of Giovanni Battista Montini (1897-1978), the man otherwise known as ‘Pope Paul VI’ (r. 1963-1978).

In 1992, Guitton was interviewed by Maurizio Blondet for the Italian progressivist ‘Catholic’ newspaper Avvenire, which is backed by the Italian Bishops’ Conference. The interview was released on Oct. 11, to coincide with the 30th anniversary of the opening of the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965).… READ MORE

‘Sounds of Loss’: Vatican Basilica of St. Peter Hosts Noise Installation to Promote Peace

A part of the Vatican’s magnificent Saint Peter’s Basilica will once again become the venue for an art project of sorts.

Back in 2015, the façade of Christendom’s most iconic church was misused as a projector screen for the so-called Fiat Lux climate change light show, which displayed upon it “the image of a corruptible man, and of birds, and of fourfooted beasts, and of creeping things” (Rom 1:23). Remember?

Robert Prevost (Leo XIV) Echoes John Paul II:
Church Has ‘Deepest Respect’ For Pagan Traditions

Freedom Under Grace is the title of a book that was just released by Penguin Random House. It is a collection of writings, speeches, and sermons given by the Rev. Robert Francis Prevost (now ‘Pope Leo XIV’) during his time as Prior General of Order of St. Augustine (2001-2013).

The compilation bears the subtitle, “Reflections on the Spiritual Tradition That Formed Me”. The foreword was written by Rev. Joseph Lawrence Farrell, O.S.A., the current Augustinian superior.… READ MORE

Taylor Marshall Says He Prays To ‘Pope’ Francis: ‘I Ask Him to Pray For Me’

Prepping his audience for a future ‘canonization’?

Taylor Marshall Says He Prays To ‘Pope’ Francis:
“I Ask Him to Pray For Me”

What has happened to Taylor Marshall? That is a question not a few people are asking themselves these days.

Ever since the election of Robert Francis Prevost as ‘Pope Leo XIV’ — or, to be more precise, ever since the day after the election of Leo XIV — the philosophy professor, author, former Anglican priest, and now professional influencer, podcaster, and liver cleanser salesman Dr. Taylor Marshall has shifted away from his hardcore recognize-and-resist position that catapulted him to fame beginning around 2018.… READ MORE

German Diocese of Erfurt Hosts Ecumenical Prayer Service for Sexual Deviants

This past Saturday, Sep. 5, 2026, the German city of Erfurt hosted a so-called Christopher Street Day (CSD) event, which is basically the European version of what in the United States is a ‘gay pride’ parade.

The idea behind such an event is for sodomites and aberrosexuals of every kind, as well as their supporters, to walk through the streets while flaunting their attachment to unnatural vice, which they celebrate and glorify. In this manner they also reinforce their social presence and march for greater acceptance, equal rights, etc.,… READ MORE

New Vatican Eco-Document Calls Holy Eucharist ‘School of Ecology’

New Vatican Eco-Document Calls Holy Eucharist ‘School of Ecology’

In the Counterfeit ‘Catholic’ Church of Vatican II, the month of September is all about the environment, the planet, ecology — what they affectionately refer to as our ‘common home’.

Certainly, creation is a good thing, a beautiful gift from God: “The heavens shew forth the glory of God, and the firmament declareth the work of his hands” (Ps 18:2). It is only right that we should appreciate and be good stewards of it. But it is likewise true that after God created Adam and Eve, He said to them: “Increase and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the air, and all living creatures that move upon the earth” (Gen 1:28).… READ MORE

Paul VI in 1965: Vatican II Contains ‘Numerous Doctrinal Points Proposed by the Extraordinary Magisterium’

There is a little-known document issued by the false pope Paul VI (Giovanni Battista Montini) during the last few days of the ill-fated Second Vatican Council (1962-1965). Dated Nov. 4, 1965, it is considered an ‘apostolic exhortation’ and bears the title Postrema Sessio. On Nov. 7, the official Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano released the Latin original text along with an Italian translation.

As no English translation appears to exist online, we have now made one available:

Bergoglio Blacked Out: Russia Censors LGBTQ-Friendly Passages in ‘Pope’ Francis’ Autobiography

Hope is the name of the English version of Jorge Bergoglio’s autobiography, which was compiled and edited by Carlo Musso and translated by Richard Dixon. The book was published in several languages in January of 2025, a few months before the false pope’s death.

The title is not to be understood as a noun but as an imperative, an exhortation to get busy hoping. This is clear from the original Italian edition, which is entitled Spera, not Speranza. ‘Pope Francis’, as Bergoglio called himself, can be seen advertising the work in this informal clip.… READ MORE

Leo XIV Prays Before Horrid Crucifix Condemned by Pope Benedict XV

This past Saturday, on Aug. 22, 2026, the Rev. Robert Prevost — more commonly known by his stage name ‘Pope Leo XIV’ — went on a ‘pastoral visit’ to the Republic of San Marino and to the Italian city of Rimini. The occasion for the trip was the so-called ‘Meeting for Friendship Among Peoples’, a ‘Catholic’ event sponsored annually by the Communion and Liberation movement.

The official trip schedule released by the Vatican notes in between the two destinations: “The Holy Father will pay a strictly private visit to the community of the Monastery of Saint Anthony of Padua of the Augustinian Nuns at Pennabilli.”… READ MORE

Reports: Andorra Working with Vatican to Decriminalize Abortion

The Principality of Andorra is one of the smallest nations on earth, a micro-state situated in the Pyrenean Mountains between Spain and France. It is one of the few Western countries in which abortion is still illegal and punishable by law. Unfortunately, that is about to change.

Andorra is not a monarchy but a diarchy. This means that there are two heads of state, who exercise authority conjointly over the country. The two Andorran so-called “co-princes” are the president of France and the Roman Catholic bishop of the diocese of Urgell (Spain), ex officio.… READ MORE

Leo XIV Hopes Anglican Worship Services Will Return to English Church Damaged by Fire

Leo XIV Hopes Anglican Worship Services Will Return to English Church Damaged by Fire

“A fire greatly damaged an Anglican church in the English city of Leicester on July 28”, Crux is reporting today.

The building in question is St. Andrew’s Church on Jarrom Street, which is part of the conservative ‘High-Church Anglican’ or ‘Anglo-Catholic’ wing of the Church of England. It does not appear that any foul play was involved, as no evidence of arson has been found.

The reason why this fire at a Protestant church is news for a Novus Ordo publication like Crux is that ‘Pope’ Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) sent a message to the Anglican parish priest, Rev.… READ MORE
