Chicken Dance for Communion!
Insane Carnival’s ‘Mass’ in German Novus Ordo Parish

Here’s something new for your ever-increasing “You can’t make this stuff up!” folder of Novus Ordo absurdities.

Not only was it one of those infamous ‘carnival masses’ that are routinely carried out in parts of Germany and Austria during this time of the year, it even included a ridiculous Chicken Dance performance the entire congregation was encouraged to participate in — during ‘Communion’ time, no less!

The following 30-second video clip has been on Facebook for a few days now, but we didn’t want to share it until we were able to confirm that this took place indeed at a Novus Ordo church in full communion with ‘Pope’ Francis and his Vatican II Sect (and not at an Anglican, ‘Old Catholic’, or Protestant service, for example).… READ MORE

“It’s Nonsense”: German Novus Ordo Priest Brazenly Denies Virgin Birth Dogma in Public Interview

The social activist ‘worker priest’ Franz Meurer is pastor of a parish in Cologne

‘Father’ Franz Meurer (b. 1951) is a Novus Ordo priest in Cologne, Germany, in good standing with his archdiocese, which is headed by the supposedly conservative ‘Cardinal’ Rainer Maria Woelki.

Known for his social activism and care for the poor, Meurer has been the pastor of the hideous St. Theodore’s church in the city’s Vingst district since 1992. As can be seen here, the church, newly-built in the early 1990s, has all the architectural charm of a sewage treatment plant.… READ MORE

The Immoral Pope Benedict IX:
Response to a Recent One Peter Five Article


He may have been a moral reprobate, but he was nevertheless a true Vicar of Christ

The pseudo-traditionalist web site One Peter Five has been on a ferocious campaign against the Papacy for years.

Always promoting a conclusion that is still in search of a good argument, One Peter Five under the editorship of Timothy S. Flanders has been cranking out, with foolhardy determination, all kinds of propaganda material that ultimately only has one chief purpose: to uphold Jorge Bergoglio (‘Pope Francis’) as a true Pope, no matter how badly the Catholic teaching on the Papacy must be distorted in order to accomplish the desired result.… READ MORE

Francis Says Homo Couples Are
‘Two People Who Love Each Other’

Bergoglio’s mug graces the cover of Credere magazine (Feb. 8, 2024 edition)

The Vatican’s chief anti-Catholic agitator has given another interview to the press.

We are speaking of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, of course, the Jesuit from Buenos Aires who has been squatting in the Vatican guest house under his stage name ‘Pope Francis’ since 2013.

At one point in the increasingly-distant past, a ‘papal’ interview was considered a spectacular and almost unique event. Now they’re a dime a dozen, as Bergoglio cranks them out faster than people can digest them.… READ MORE

Costumes, Booze, and Messy Pranks:
Ecumenical Fools’ Mass in Switzerland

It is the time for carnival again, at least in some parts of the world, and no one does carnival quite like the Vatican II Church.

In German-speaking countries, for example, people can find so-called ‘Carnival Masses’ (or ‘Fools’ Masses’) in churches affiliated with the pseudo-Catholic sect during the days preceding Ash Wednesday.

We have reported on such evils many times in the past, but this year there has been one deserving of an especially dishonorable mention: The abomination that just took place in the Church of Saints Peter and Paul in Willisau, Switzerland, on Sunday, Feb.… READ MORE

‘Popesplaining’ Gone Wrong:
‘Pope’ Francis Rains on Michael Lofton’s Parade


Right: Mr. Michael Lofton, Th.D. candidate and owner of expensive books

As we duly reported on this blog on Jan. 25, 2024, the Anglican Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby — himself a mere layman on account of the general invalidity of Anglican orders — offered an invalid Mass (‘Eucharistic liturgy’) at the Catholic Basilica of St. Bartholomew in Rome, and he did so with the permission of ‘Pope’ Francis (Jorge Bergoglio):

The nullity (invalidity) of Anglican orders was declared by Pope Leo XIII in his 1896 bull Apostolicae Curae.… READ MORE

Jorge Bergoglio and the Blasphemous ‘Hope’ of an Empty Hell


He always has something to say: papal pretender Jorge Mario Bergoglio, S.J.

The Italian late-night talk show Che Tempo Che Fa had a special guest on its Jan. 14, 2024 episode: the apostate Argentinian Jesuit Jorge Mario Bergoglio, marketed under his stage name ‘Pope Francis’.

For the second time in two years, the false pope was being interviewed live by the show’s host, Fabio Fazio.

Approximately 45 minutes into the show (full video here), Francis was asked about hell, that pesky dogma of eternal damnation for the wicked.… READ MORE

German Diocese Officially Allows ‘Eucharistic Sharing’ with Protestants

The diocese of Osnabrück in Germany is currently vacant, even from a Novus Ordo perspective. Its most recent ‘bishop’ was Franz-Josef Bode, who resigned on March 25, 2023, over his handling of abuse cases in the diocese.

To get an idea of what kind of ‘shepherd’ had led the ‘Catholics’ of Osnabrück since 1995, it suffices to know that in 2014, Bode was responsible for an abominable quasi-nude spectacle taking place in the diocesan cathedral, and that he thinks highly of Dr. Stephan Goertz, a lay theologian who is on record suggesting that “a committed, loving homosexual union, which sees itself as a relationship of faith in the God of Israel and Jesus” might actually “possess a sacramental character.”… READ MORE

A Critique of the False Recognize-and-Resist Ecclesiology of Michael Matt and The Remnant (VIDEO)

The so-called Catholic Identity Conference (CIC) is an annual ‘traditional Catholic’ event in the United States, typically held in or near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

In 2022, it tried to get some serious media coverage with its ‘Declaration of Filial Resistance to the Pope’, which, however, predictably went nowhere:

The last such identity conference took place Sep.… READ MORE

Francis Permits Invalid Anglican Eucharist in Roman Basilica


Anglican layman Justin Welby raises bread at the ‘Eucharist’ in St. Bartholomew’s on Jan. 25, 2024

Last year, on Apr. 18, 2023, a big fuss ensued over Anglican bishop Jonathan Baker offering a ‘Eucharistic celebration’ at the papal cathedral of Saint John Lateran in Rome. And rightly so, for not only is the Anglican religion (Church of England, known in the United States as the Episcopal Church) heretical and schismatic, but its clergy do not even have valid ordinations.

The nullity (invalidity) of Anglican orders was declared by Pope Leo XIII in his 1896 bull Apostolicae Curae.… READ MORE

Austrian Novus Ordo Parish Shows Live-Streamed Nude ‘Powder Dance’ in Church Sanctuary


(image credit: nachrichten.at – we have censored the image somewhat)

Bad Ischl is a small town in Upper Austria. For 2024, it has been designated as one of Europe’s so-called ‘Capitals of Culture’. In that capacity, special cultural and artistic events will be taking place there all year. Its grand opening occurred this past Saturday, Jan. 20, 2024.

Bad Ischl’s ‘Catholic’ church is that of St. Nikolaus, whose pastor is one ‘Fr.’ Christian Öhler (b. 1958). Part of the diocese of Linz, the chief Novus Ordo shepherd keeping watch over it all is ‘Bp.’READ MORE

Francis Gives ‘Catechesis’ on Vice of Lust, Fails to Mention Sin or Anything Supernatural

Last Wednesday, Jan. 17, 2024, ‘Pope’ Francis — the Argentinian apostate whose real name is Jorge Mario Bergoglio — once again graced the world with one of his weekly ‘catechesis’ sessions during the general audience:

The topic was the vice of lust, also known as sexual impurity. A few weeks ago, Francis had begun a new cycle of catechetical lectures, on vices and virtues, and this was the fourth installment in the series.… READ MORE

The Persecution and ‘Death’ of the Church:
The Testimony of Scripture and Tradition

Researched and Explained by
Cardinal Henry Edward Manning (1808-1892)

This is a slightly revised version of an article posted on this web site in 2015.

As we all suffer through these most distressing times in which confusion and chaos reign among all who seek to be genuine Catholics, members of the only true religion established by God, it is helpful and important to reflect on the fact that the situation we find ourselves in today — no (known) valid Pope since 1958, and no apparent Catholic bishop left with ordinary jurisdiction, while a counterfeit institution masquerades as the Catholic Church, spreading heresy, immorality, and impiety — was foretold in Holy Scripture and Sacred Tradition.… READ MORE
