Novus Ordo Philosopher Slams Francis: “Chaotic Pontificate” characterized by “Theological Apathy”

After the election of Jorge Bergoglio as “Pope” Francis on March 13, 2013, while various pseudo-traditionalist “experts” were still trying to put an unrealistically positive and hopeful spin on things, it took us a mere 21 days to make the following prediction on Twitter:

Since we do not acknowledge Bergoglio’s claim to the papacy as valid, we began to refer to him merely as “Chaos Frank”.… READ MORE

“Heretical Popes” & Vatican I:
A Follow-Up

The First Vatican Council was called by the longest-reigning Pope in history: Pius IX (1846-1878)

Our post of April 7 discussing the question of “heretical” Popes in light of testimony given by Archbishop John Purcell (1800-1883) that the Fathers of the First Vatican Council said such a thing was impossible, has generated plenty of interest and discussion among sedevacantists and non-sedevacantists.

It was to be expected that this latest piece of evidence for Sedevacantism wasn’t going to sit well with our critics, and so it comes as no surprise that some have tried to accuse us of “taking things out of context” and of “cherry-picking quotes”.… READ MORE

French Novus Ordo Bishop celebrates Bumper Car “Mass”!


(image: Thierry Nicolas for Le Républicain Lorrain)

The apostate dingbats of the Novus Ordo Sect just never run out of ideas. For Easter Sunday, Mr. Jean-Christophe André Robert Lagleize, in his comedy role as the “Catholic Bishop” of Metz, France, celebrated the Modernist Worship Service (“Eucharistic Celebration”) at a public fair, specifically inside the tent of a bumper car ride.

The French paper Le Républicain Lorrain published a story on it on April 6, 2015, from which the above image is taken. You can read the full article in French here:

The report points out that two children brought up the “offertory gifts” (bread and wine) — in a bumper car, of course.… READ MORE

The Question of a Heretical Pope considered by the First Vatican Council

[See also our Follow-Up Post here]

While certain self-styled “traditionalists” and “real Catholics” are currently pushing the attractive and convenient but utterly false and disastrous idea that the Catholic Church had Popes in her history who were heretics but were still valid Popes, we at Novus Ordo Watch like to go by actual Church teaching and verifiable facts.

Besides such blowhards as Michael Voris (at 5:54 here) and Eric Gajewski (here), one of the biggest loudmouths out there who is pushing this bewildering error of “heretical but valid Popes” is the anonymous English blogger Mundabor, whom we recently gave a good spanking for his train wreck of a theological analysis on the Novus Ordo Missae.

AND TO LISTEN TO ALL EPISODES NOW

Released on April 1, TRADCAST 004 gives a brief overview of the Catholic dogma No Salvation Outside the Church (Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus). Unlike what is usually done when discussing this topic, the intent in this TRADCAST is not to provide prooftexts for various theses, but rather to demonstrate in summary fashion how Catholic dogmatic theology hangs together with Catholic moral theology, producing the necessary conclusion that being inside the Catholic Church is not identical to being a member of the Church.… READ MORE

Restoration Radio’s new show “Escape from the Novus Ordo” returns with Fr. Michael Oswalt, a former Novus Ordo “priest” of the diocese of Rockford, Illinois, who converted to traditional Catholicism (sedevacantism) and was ordained a true priest in 2011. He has penned an open letter to his former diocese of Rockford, Illinois, in which he explains why he left the Novus Ordo religion. The letter is available in English and Spanish:

The Poison of the Novus Ordo “Mass”:
Catholic Theology refutes Neo-Trad Bloggers

Novus Ordo Missae: The Modernist Worship Service in Action

If you want to have a stellar example of the warped theology and mental gymnastics you have to embrace in Neo-Traditionalist Wonderland, look no further than the issues being discussed by Mundabor and Louie Verrecchio on whether the “New Mass” (Novus Ordo Missae of Paul VI) is evil and/or sinful to attend. There we have two individuals who use Catholic principles very selectively and/or turn a blind eye to what is right in front of them, in order not to have to embrace that which would otherwise follow necessarily: Sedevacantism.… READ MORE

Liturgical Mayhem in Poland

If some things are better left uncommented, this would have to be one of them. The video below is a liturgical disaster on Gaudete Sunday (Third Sunday of Advent) in a Novus Ordo parish in Katowice, Poland. This is perfect to show anyone who thinks that Modernist chaos liturgies are confined to the United States, Germany, and Austria. It is not so.

In case you’re wondering why the “Pope” isn’t doing anything about this sort of thing, that’s because… umm… well… see this link here.

We recall that when the same “Pope” Francis proceeded to declare Karol Wojtyla a “saint” — the Polish superstar who invented extravagant “papal” liturgies — the hideous Crucifix of Cevo, dedicated to John Paul II, collapsed and killed a pilgrim who was on his way to the “canonization”.… READ MORE

We do not typically simply republish other people’s blog posts, but in this case, we will make an exception as the post shows the anti-Catholic ideas inherent in the justifications given by Bp. Richard Williamson for his recent episcopal consecration of Bp. Jean-Michel Faure, both formerly with the Society of St. Pius X.

“Night of Lights” Profanes Catholic Church Building

Watching this 14-minute video above will send shivers down your spine. Once more a traditional Catholic church building — you know, the kind built by Catholics for the sake of adoring God Almighty in the Most Blessed Sacrament — has been abused by the Novus Ordo Sect for anything other than Catholic worship. In the above clip, what you see is a presentation of Nacht der Lichter (“Night of Lights”) in St.… READ MORE

Neo-Traditionalist ‘Resistance’ gets a new Bishop, SSPX condemns, Vatican expected to announce Excommunication

Image Source: Non Possumus Blog

The do-your-own-thing religion of Neo-Traditionalism, more specifically the camp of the “really-really-bad Resistance trads” (i.e. those who split from the SSPX because the SSPX was no longer SSPX enough), has gotten a new bishop: Fr. Jean-Michel Faure, 73, was consecrated on March 19, 2015, by Bp. Richard Williamson, 75, in Nova Friburgo, Brazil, near Rio de Janeiro. (We had blogged on the impending consecration here.)

Williamson is one of the original four bishops consecrated by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre in Econe, Switzerland, on June 30, 1988 (see video here), which was the official date of the beginning of what has come to be known as the “Lefebvre schism” in the Novus Ordo Church.… READ MORE

What do you know… Mr. Jorge Bergoglio (“Pope Francis”) is reportedly planning to meet and have lunch with 90 detainees in a prison in Naples on Saturday, March 21, ten of whom will be transsexuals. The following report is taken directly from the so-called National Catholic Reporter:

ROME — Pope Francis is reportedly to have lunch Saturday with ten transsexual persons, as part of a visit with prisoners in the southern Italian city of Naples.
