The End of the World vs. End Times Mania – Sermon by Fr. Bernard Uttley, OSB

Sermon by Fr. Bernard Uttley, O.S.B.

The End of the World vs. End Times Mania

As things get crazier and crazier in the world and especially in Novus Ordo Land, the topic of the end of the world keeps coming up as a point of interest, and not without all justification. Yet it behooves Catholics not to obsess about these matters and to guard against an undue curiosity concerning those things God has not seen fit to reveal to us except in a very vague manner.

When it comes to this topic, it is easy to fall prey to false apparitions, and some are tempted to cling to a particular interpretation of private revelation that may come at the expense of Catholic doctrine.… READ MORE

What Has Happened to the Catholic Church?
An Updated Guide for Confused Catholics

Novus Ordo Watch is not receiving any kind of compensation for promoting this book (with the exception of one free copy).

Many people who sincerely desire to be good and loyal Roman Catholics are seriously troubled and confused today. Although the Second Vatican Council occurred more than 60 years ago, it has left a lasting impact. Vatican II, as the council is called for short, took place from 1962-65 and radically changed Catholic liturgy, the sacraments, and essential beliefs that have come down to us from Christ and the Apostles.… READ MORE

Society of Saint Pius X Priest Becomes Sedevacantist

Father Reid Hennick leaves SSPX

Society of St. Pius X Priest Becomes Sedevacantist

Ordained for the SSPX in 2016: Fr. Reid Hennick

Father Reid Hennick was ordained a priest for the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) on June 3, 2016, by Bishop Alfonso de Galarreta.

On Feb. 12, 2025, Fr. Hennick published a one-page letter in which he announced he was leaving the Society because he could not in good conscience continue his ministry in it, having adopted the sedevacantist position.

“…I have come to the conclusion that the Holy See has been vacant since the Second Vatican Council — a conclusion with profound implications for the apostolate”, Fr.… READ MORE

Vatican II Star Theologian Boasted of Having Urinated on Holy Office Building – Not Once But Twice!

Yves Congar’s utter disdain for Catholic orthodoxy…

Vatican II Star Theologian Boasted of Having Urinated on Holy Office Building – Not Once But Twice!

On Sep. 26, 2012, former-Jesuit-turned-journalist Robert Blair Kaiser (1931-2015) published a blog post in which he related a colorful story concerning the French Dominican Fr. Yves Congar (1904-1995), one of the Neo-Modernist star theologians at the Second Vatican Council (1962-65) whom ‘Pope’ John Paul II made a ‘cardinal’ in 1994.

Kaiser began: “I often wondered whether the story was true. Did Congar really pee on the wall of the Holy Office? I’d heard the story from one of my theologian friends at the Council, but I’d never been able to confirm it”; and then happily informed the reader: “Yesterday, on the tenth day of my 3-week lecture tour in India, I got the kind of independent second source that makes a story reportable.”… READ MORE

Nun-DMC? Novus Ordo nun stuns with beatboxing talent

.
What could possibly go wrong? Tone-deaf Vatican turns to ‘hot priests’ to spread faith on social media.

Former Novus Ordo monk becomes ‘woman’. He should talk to ‘Bishop’ John Stowe of the diocese of Lexington — he might be able to become a ‘nun’ there now.

Nothing to see here, just a bunch of Novus Ordo seminarians from Denver involved in a bizarre (apparently fake) blood oath ceremony involving the seminary vice-rector, a dagger, and a mysterious man in a yeti costume.… READ MORE

No ‘Amoris Laetitia’ Here: A Priest Explains What Catholics in an Invalid Marriage Ought to Do (1957)

Moral truth does not change with the times…

No Amoris Laetitia Here: A Priest Explains What Catholics in an Invalid Marriage Ought to Do (1957)

The following is a brief article penned by Fr. Donald F. Miller, C.SS.R. (1903-1969) in 1957. Entitled “For Wives and Husbands Only: Moral Obligations of the Invalidly Married”, it concerns the moral obligations of adulterous couples, that is, of couples who live as if they were married to each other before God but are not and cannot be because at least one of the two is already married to someone else. In other words, we are talking about the ‘divorced-and-remarried’.… READ MORE

A reader of this web site recently found a real treasure buried on an old VHS tape: a debate on Sedevacantism between Society of St. Pius V (SSPV) clergy and ‘mainstream’ traditionalists.

The length of the recording is 2 hours 43 minutes. The exchange must have taken place around 1995. The participants were Bp. Clarence Kelly and Fr. William Jenkins for the SSPV, versus ‘Fr.’… READ MORE

Today is a big day at the Vatican: Not only were the Nativity Scene and Christmas tree unveiled, ‘Pope’ Francis also held the latest consistory for the creation of new ‘cardinals’. The full video of it is available here.

A total of 21 individuals were raised to this Novus Ordo dignity, including such scoundrels as the perversion promoter ‘Fr.’ Timothy Radcliffe, O.P.

The ceremony comes days after the Vatican released this useful ‘dashboard’ of the college of cardinals.… READ MORE

The Unsolvable Pendulum Problem of the Society of St. Pius X

Forever torn between two mutually exclusive ideas…

The Unsolvable Pendulum Problem of the Society of St. Pius X

The Society of St. Pius X (SSPX or FSSPX), founded by Abp. Marcel Lefebvre in 1970, is once again in the news, this time on account of its Jubilee pilgrimage to Rome last week (see a few official photos here).

Some SSPXers are celebrating, whereas others are expressing concern. The reason for the inconsistent reactions to the same development is that some see it as Rome accepting the SSPX as Catholic and recognizing the rights of ‘Tradition’ (a Lefebvrist euphemism for what is simply the Catholic Faith); whereas others see it as a dangerous luring of the Lefebvrist leadership into the ecumenical zoo presided over by Modernist Rome.… READ MORE

Catholic Morality on Voting: Obligation, Permissibility, and that Pesky Problem of the ‘Lesser Evil’

This is not a political post. It’s a post about the general Catholic position as regards voting in democratic elections, which falls within the purview of the Church’s moral theology. The reason for publishing this post (upon request a second time) is to inform Catholics who are not sufficiently familiar with the topic so as to clarify what is often misunderstood and remove doubt and uncertainty, thus helping to properly form consciences.

First, let’s look at a brief general overview.… READ MORE

Flashback 1973: A Novus Ordo Pentecost in the Church With the Red Dot

Why you’re not Novus Ordo anymore… 

Flashback 1973:
A Novus Ordo Pentecost in the Church With the Red Dot

We’re currently in the Octave of Pentecost, so why not take a look at how Pentecost was celebrated in 1973 in the Ludwigskirche (Church of St. Louis) in Ibbenbüren, Germany? By that time, the Novus Ordo liturgical revolution was in full swing! The image above gives a preview.

Yes, we are talking about a ‘Roman Catholic’ church, part of the diocese of Münster. The church had been consecrated in 1952 for Catholic worship of the Most Holy Trinity. But then came ‘Saints’ John XXIII and Paul VI and brought us the Second Vatican Council along with its infamous ‘spirit’, which Germany was particularly enamored with, and which was anticipated in various ways there in the years before the council, especially architecturally.… READ MORE

Crazy Sermon and Orange Butterfly Vestment at Novus Ordo Funeral ‘Mass’ in Minnesota

A gigantic monarch butterfly adorns the front of the chasuble worn by Rev. Mike Sullivan

On May 24, 2024, a funeral service — we can’t call it ‘Mass’ — was held at the so-called Catholic Community of Saint Joseph the Worker in Maple Grove, Minnesota. The parish is part of the Archdiocese of Saint Paul & Minneapolis under ‘Abp.’ Bernard Hebda, so consider yourself forewarned.

The name of the departed is irrelevant and will not be mentioned here, and we certainly mean no disrespect to him or his memory in the lines that follow.… READ MORE

Finally, someone has the guts to say it! ‘Pope’ Francis highlights the social value of the game of checkers.

Looks like the Vatican II Church in Belgium will be dead by 2045 at the latest. But fear not, with Francis’ scheduled trip there in September, it might go faster!

All that Vatican II joy is hard to contain: Meet the ‘new’ Franciscans of Brazil.

Clear Answers on a Touchy Subject: Is It Ever Morally Permissible to Wish for Someone’s Death?

What does traditional Catholic moral theology say?

Clear Answers on a Touchy Subject: Is It Ever Morally Permissible to Wish for Someone’s Death?

The ongoing hospitalization of the Argentinian apostate Jorge Bergoglio (‘Pope Francis’), has brought a delicate moral question to the forefront that a lot of people may be wondering about but don’t quite know how to resolve and are perhaps reluctant to ask:

Is it ever morally permissible (that is, not sinful) to desire (wish, hope for, pray for) that a particular individual will die? Or is it always and necessarily sinful to do so?

The purpose of the present post is simply to help form consciences correctly regarding this matter by providing reliable, authentic Catholic information.… READ MORE

Disordered Charity:
‘Pope’ Francis, Deportations, and the Ordo Amoris

A few years back, the American author and journalist George Neumayr (1972-2023) published a book about Jorge Bergoglio (‘Pope Francis’) entitled The Political Pope (2017).

That the adjective fits, Francis demonstrated today by sending a missive to the ‘Catholic bishops’ of the United States regarding the current enforcement of federal immigration laws by the Trump administration. The Vatican released the text today:

The letter contains a total of ten numbered paragraphs, in which the ‘Pope’ criticizes the enforcement of U.S.… READ MORE
