Podcast: Does Our Lady of Fatima Disprove Sedevacantism?

(TRADCAST EXPRESS 230)

Our latest podcast episode, TRADCAST EXPRESS 230, has been published.

The 31-minute installment is dedicated to responding to the post “Our Lady of Fatima Disproves Sede-Vacantism” by Daniel Bentley, which was recently published by the semi-traditionalist (i.e. recognize-and-resist) organization Tradition in Action.

Our refutation is carried out mostly on the level of principles: Catholic theology does not permit one to resolve a doctrinal question by appeal to private revelation, which is the category into which the 1917 apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima clearly fall.… READ MORE

‘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

The Fatima Center Agrees: After Vatican II, the Public ‘Sister Lucy’ Was Not the Real Fatima Seer

The scientific evidence speaks volumes…

The Fatima Center Agrees: After Vatican II, the Public ‘Sister Lucy’ Was Not the Real Fatima Seer

Big news out of Canada: The Fatima Center, the organization founded by ‘Fr.’ Nicholas Gruner for promoting devotion to Our Lady of Fatima and spreading her message, is now officially acknowledging that the oldest of the three seers, Sister Lucia dos Santos, was replaced by an impostor from 1967 onwards, at least in the few public appearances she made.

This announcement was published in a pinned comment by the Fatima Center‘s YouTube channel underneath/beside a video clip that is an extract from a presentation on this very topic by David Rodríguez, the Center‘s content director:

In case the image won’t display, here is the text of the announcement:

The Fatima Center’s position is that it has been established with reasonable certainty that the woman presenting herself as Sister Lucia in all known public photos from 1967 onward was not the true Lucia.

Sister Lucy Truth answers Church Militant: Was the true Fatima Seer replaced with an Impostor?

Response to Christine Niles…

Sister Lucy Truth answers Church Militant:
Was the true Fatima Seer replaced with an Impostor?

For years now, the non-profit organization Sister Lucy Truth has commissioned scientific experts in various fields to determine scientifically, and not simply based on best guesses or gut feeling, whether the woman presented to the world as Sister Lucy of Fatima from 1967 until her death in 2005 is indeed the former shepherd child to whom our Lady appeared in the small Portuguese town in 1917:

What Sister Lucy Truth has been doing is the only proper way to go about resolving the mystery: by asking third-party experts, those with no dog in the fight and the proper credentials to do scientific analyses and give their professional judgment about the data at hand.… READ MORE

New DDF Document: Norms for Proceeding in the Discernment of Alleged Supernatural Phenomena

Approved by ‘Pope’ Francis…

Norms for Proceeding in the Discernment
of Alleged Supernatural Phenomena

May 17, 2024

The Vatican’s text factory has just released another official document: Jorge Bergoglio (a.k.a. ‘Pope Francis’) has approved the publication of an instruction issued by the so-called Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith (DDF) establishing ‘Norms for Proceeding in the Discernment of Alleged Supernatural Phenomena’. The document does not appear to have an official title besides this descriptive one. The new guidelines are replacing those issued in 1978 under ‘Pope’ Paul VI.

So far, the Vatican has made the text of the Norms available in the following languages:

The key changes made by the new Norms appear to be that the local bishop no longer has authority to declare an alleged apparition to be of supernatural origin, and the Vatican will ordinarily not rule regarding its supernatural authenticity either.… READ MORE

Bergoglio’s Marriage Annulment Rules Ten Years Later: ‘Operation Warp Speed’ Novus Ordo Style

Fast, free family wrecking!

Bergoglio’s Marriage Annulment Rules Ten Years Later:
Operation Warp Speed Novus Ordo Style

by Francis del Sarto

On May 15, 2020, the United States government launched Operation Warp Speed. Its goal? To manufacture and distribute an injection that would purportedly immunize citizens from the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

Operation Warp Speed is a fitting name for the accelerated procedure to obtain marriage annulments introduced by the Vatican II Church ten years ago by Argentinian apostate Jorge Mario Bergoglio (aka “Pope Francis”).

Not that the “annulment” process needed a push, mind you. In 1968 there were only 338 declarations of nullity issued in the entire United States.… READ MORE

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

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

December 31, 2025

Here’s a quick video clip for your ‘Sedevacantists are Protestants!’ files…

Chicago-born ‘Bishop’ Ronald Hicks, currently ordinary of Joliet, appointed new ‘Archbishop’ of New York, replacing ‘Cardinal’ Timothy Dolan. Interestingly enough, Hicks’ former diocesan chancellor in Joliet just ‘married’ his boyfriend.

Put on your surprise face: American Novus Ordo bishops green-light ‘gay-washed’ new Bible translation. (There’s a follow-up here.)

If there’s one ‘spirit’ that doesn’t need ‘reviving’, this one would be it.

They’re all ears now: Vatican opens ‘listening space’ in St. Peter’s Basilica for ‘encounter’ with visitors.… READ MORE

Spanish Novus Ordo Priest Laicized by Leo XIV for Rejecting Francis as Heretical Pseudo-Pope

Francisco José Vegara Cerezo, pictured above, is a Novus Ordo priest in the diocese of Orihuela-Alicante, Spain. Or rather, he was. The Church of Infinite Dignity, Limitless Mercy, and Perpetual Inclusion has decided that he is being expelled from the clerical state. This means that, for all intents and purposes, he is to be considered an unordained layman again.

The diocesan Novus Ordo bishop under whom this is happening is José Ignacio Munilla Aguirre (b. 1961). Munilla had referred the case of the Rev.… READ MORE

Fatima Farce: Apostate Antipope consecrates Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary

Fatima Farce: Apostate Antipope consecrates Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary

Francis’ much-anticipated “Consecration of Russia” to the Immaculate Heart took place as scheduled today, Mar. 25, 2022, in St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican as part of a penitential liturgy during which he himself ostentatiously went to confession. This blog post features the most important resources related to this event.

We call his stunt a “Fatima farce” not because we would in any way cast doubt on the authenticity of the apparitions, messages, warnings, or requests of Our Lady of Fatima, but because the man who performed the consecration is not the Pope, is not a Catholic, and is not a friend of Our Lady, the Mother of God.… READ MORE

Rumor Control: Was Ratzinger against the Interreligious Prayer Meetings in Assisi?

‘Archbishop’ Georg Gänswein is back in the news.

His tell-all book Nothing but the Truth: My Life Beside Benedict XVI, the release of which reportedly made ‘Pope’ Francis furious, hit the shelves in Italy at the beginning of this year. At the time, it was not yet clear when or by whom it would be published in English. Benedict XVI, Joseph Ratzinger, had just died two weeks prior.

But now, on Oct. 23, 2023, St.… READ MORE

Chicago Novus Ordo Pastor Officiates Lesbian Pseudo-Wedding: Exchange of Vows plus Blessing!

[UPDATE 13-MAY-2024: Vincentians release letter with ‘apology’ of sorts by Rev. Williams]

Video footage has emerged showing a Novus Ordo priest officiating a same-sex ceremony mocking the Holy Sacrament of Matrimony. He is shown presiding over an exchange of vows of two women and then conferring a blessing on them.

This is not a matter of rumor or speculation. The identity of all parties is known, and the presbyter has admitted that the ceremony took place.
