Home At Last: Transalpine Redemptorists Become Sedevacantists

Some wonderful news broke earlier this month, on May 2, the feast of St. Athanasius, Doctor of the Church:

The ‘Congregation of the Sons of the Most Holy Redeemer’ (Filii Sanctissimi Redemptoris or FSSR), headquartered on Papa Stronsay island off the northern coast of Scotland, published a formal document in which they disavow the Vatican II Church and its apostate counterfeit Catholicism, declare their allegiance to the true Roman Catholic religion, and explicitly repudiate Leo XIV and his predecessors through Paul VI, as being false popes.

In short: The ‘Transalpine Redemptorists’, as they are also known, have become sedevacantists.… READ MORE

Last Wednesday, on May 13, 2026, ‘His Eminence’ Víctor Manuel Fernández issued the following brief statement in his role as prefect of the Vatican’s so-called Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith:

With regard to the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X, we reiterate what has already been communicated. The episcopal ordinations announced by the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X [FSSPX or SSPX] do not have the requisite papal mandate.

One Year of ‘Pope’ Leo XIV: An Unpopular Reality Check

Inconvenient facts meet wishful thinking…

One Year of ‘Pope’ Leo XIV:
An Unpopular Reality Check

It was May 8, 2025, when all eyes were on the smoke stack atop the roof of the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City. Only approximately 24 hours had passed since the start of the conclave when white smoke began pouring out of the chimney, signaling to the world that a successor to ‘Pope’ Francis (Jorge Bergoglio) had been elected.

And so it was. Within about an hour, the Augustinian Rev. Robert F. Prevost of Chicago, United States, presented himself on the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica as the new ‘Pope’, as the head, that is, of the Vatican II Church.… READ MORE

Set to Promote Next-Level Sexual Perversion

The Vatican II Church in Germany has done it again.

While everyone is busy talking about whether homosexual ‘couples’ can receive blessings formally or only informally, the upcoming 5-day festival known as the ‘Catholic Convention’ (Katholikentag) is preparing people to accept the next stage in sexual perversity, one that makes ‘mere’ homosexuality look like small potatoes by comparison. It is called ‘BDSM’.

The so-called ‘Ecumenical Working Group on BDSM and Being Christian’ (Ökumenischer Arbeitskreis BDSM-und-Christsein) will be present with an information booth at the Katholikentag that is set to take place from May 13-17, 2026.… READ MORE

What Did ‘Pope’ John Paul II Really Say? That John the Baptist Would Protect ‘Islam’ or ‘This Land’?

On Mar. 21, 2000, the Polish apostate bishop Karol Wojtyla — better known as ‘Pope’ and ‘Saint’ John Paul II (r. 1978-2005) — was visiting the nation of Jordan as part of a larger pilgrimage to the Holy Land.

That day he visited what is held to be the site of Christ’s baptism at the River Jordan, and after he had recited a special prayer for the occasion, he gave some concluding remarks of gratitude and greeting and ended with these words (underlining added):

I will keep all the people of Jordan – Christians and Muslims – in my prayers, especially the sick and the elderly.

Podcast: Leo XIV, Anglicans, and Other Non-Catholics (TRADCAST EXPRESS 225)

Podcast: Leo XIV, Anglicans, and Other Non-Catholics
(TRADCAST EXPRESS 225)

Our latest podcast episode, TRADCAST EXPRESS 225, was published on April 29. It is 24 minutes long, highly informative, and treats a number of different topics.

First we talk about what is perhaps the biggest story of this week, namely, ‘Pope’ Leo XIV giving a private audience to ‘Her Grace’, Mrs. Sarah Mullally, dressed in the costume of the Anglican Archbishop of Canterbury. Under Leo, the ecumenical circus is in full swing no less than under his predecessors.

Another topic of discussion is the curious participation of the Novus Ordo bishop of Fresno, Joseph Vincent Brennan, in the conferral of episcopal consecration on an Episcopalian (Anglican) bishop — something that is forbidden even by the standards of the Vatican II Church.… READ MORE

As it was scheduled, so it happened: Today, on Apr. 27, 2026, ‘Pope’ Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) received in private audience ‘the Most Reverend and Right Honourable Dame’ Sarah Mullally, the woman who in the Anglican religion is the current lawful occupant of the office of ‘Archbishop of Canterbury’. In that role she is to Anglicans what a Pope is to Catholics, more or less.… READ MORE

Leo XIV Repeats Bergoglian Talking Points Against the Death Penalty

The Augustinian Robert Prevost, who has been masquerading as Pope of the Catholic Church since last May under the stage name ‘Leo XIV’, has sent a video message to participants in a Chicago conference commemorating the 15th anniversary of the abolition of capital punishment in Illinois, his home state.

Vatican Media released the 2-minute video along with a brief article:

In his message, ‘Pope’ Leo XIV offers three main arguments against the moral legitimacy of the death sentence.… READ MORE

The Rev. Dr. Gregory Kimura is a cleric of the so-called Episcopal Church in the United States. The Episcopal Church is part of the Anglican Communion and is basically the American branch of the Church of England, which was founded by King Henry VIII in response to Pope Clement VII’s refusal to pretend that his certainly-valid marriage to Catherine of Aragon was null.

A few days ago, Dr.… READ MORE

Diocesan Cathedral in Canada Hosts Ice Hockey Watch Party – With Pizza and Beer!

Diocesan Cathedral in Canada Hosts Ice Hockey Watch Party — With Pizza and Beer!

On Sunday, Apr. 19, 2026, the official ‘Roman Catholic’ Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist (Saint-Jean-l’Évangéliste) in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec, was the public venue for an ice hockey watch party, and not just the run-of-the-mill kind.

The opportunity to follow live the match between the Montreal Canadiens (aka ‘Habs’) and the Tampa Bay Lightning teams was put together as an ‘immersive experience’ by a professional group of artists known as La Cargaison. On their web site, they advertised the event as follows:

Come experience the Habs’ playoffs like never before.

The Church’s Mystical Passion: What It Is (and Isn’t)

The Church’s Mystical Passion: What It Is (and Isn’t)

More and more people are adopting the idea that the profound changes to the Roman Catholic religion that have occurred since roughly the time of the Second Vatican Council (1962-65) can only be explained by positing that the Catholic Church has been sharing mystically in the Passion of her Divine Founder.

The Church being the Mystical Body of Christ, it is rather fitting that she should resemble her Invisible Head in all things, not excluding a period of intense suffering, persecution, and (at least apparent) ‘death’ before He returns to judge the living and the dead.… READ MORE

The false gospel of human-fraternity-because-it’s-all-the-same-God-anyway is once again rearing its ugly head. Although he has much better taste and style than ‘Pope’ Francis ever did, the equally-fake ‘Pope’ Leo XIV — more properly referred to as Bob Prevost from Chicago — is no different from his immediate predecessor in terms of doctrinal substance.

Prevost is currently visiting Algeria as part of an 11-day tour of various African nations.… READ MORE
