A Serious Accusation:
Is Novus Ordo Watch Being Deceptive?
Here is the Evidence – YOU Decide!
[UPDATE: On Oct. 5, 2024, Mr. Matt Gaspers graciously apologized on Twitter and conceded that his interpretation of the New Commentary is likely incorrect. Of course we accept the apology.]
Sometimes sparks fly when people discuss matters of theology on social media, and that is not necessarily a bad thing. What ought not to happen during such skirmishes, however, is that one party rashly accuse the other of being dishonest about the issue under discussion.
Welcome to Vienna:
‘Donau City Church’ is waiting for you!
Donau City is a part of Vienna, the capital of Austria. It means “Danube City” and was established in 1996. Home to a lot of skyscrapers with offices and apartments, it has an impressive-looking skyline.
In such hip surroundings, of course a cool, contemporary Novus Ordo church cannot be missing. This is where “Donau City Church” comes in. Actually, its proper name is Christ, Hope of the World Church, but you wouldn’t know it from looking at it, as the image above demonstrates.
Donau City Church is part of a larger parish family and belongs to the Modernist-occupied Archdiocese of Vienna, which is still being led by the quasi-Satanist ‘Cardinal’ Christoph Schönborn (b.… READ MORE

Francis Wants ‘Renewed’ Study of Church History that Accepts Church’s ‘Spots and Wrinkles’
You know there’s trouble on the horizon when Modernists are calling for ‘renewal’. This is true even more so if they feel the need to throw the word ‘courageous’ into the mix.
On Nov. 21, 2024, the apostate Jesuit Jorge Bergoglio (‘Pope Francis’) published a Letter on the Renewal of the Study of Church History, in which he calls for a “sincere and courageous study of history”, especially on the part of seminarians. While this may at first seem like a pretty good and harmless idea, what Francis has in mind bears within itself the seeds of revolution.… READ MORE

Heresy from ‘Cardinal’ Ravasi: ‘Christ Was a Layman’
The Vatican’s recently-retired president of the so-called Pontifical Council for Culture (since 2022 the Dicastery for Culture and Education), ‘Cardinal’ Gianfranco Ravasi (b. 1942), has made news again, and not in a good way.
The 81-year-old Ravasi was ordained a priest in 1966 in the traditional rite of priestly ordination. In 2007, ‘Pope’ Benedict XVI personally conferred the invalid Novus Ordo rite of episcopal ordination on him, and three years later he made him a ‘cardinal’. Ravasi has been working in the Roman curia since at least 2007, when Benedict appointed him president of the Pontifical Council for Culture.… 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
Theology of the Bawdy: Francis appoints Sodomy Supporter to lead Vatican Synod Retreat in October
Dominican friar Timothy Radcliffe knows how to blaspheme…
In October of this year the Vatican will hold another one of its infamous “synods”, that is, a meeting with a large number of “bishops” chosen from around the world to spend three weeks listening to boring lectures, reading boring lengthy documents, and then discussing the stuff with their colleagues before collaborating to produce a final document for Francis to use in his post-synodal “Apostolic exhortation”.
This year, the theme of the synod is — wait for it — synodality.… READ MORE
Leo XIV on Whether He Will Change Church Teaching:
‘Not at the Moment’!
The Rev. Robert F. Prevost, aka ‘Pope Leo XIV’, is a clever fellow. He knows how to demolish Church teaching by giving the impression that he will hold the line on it. In this he faithfully follows his master, ‘Pope’ Francis.
U.S. journalist Elise Ann Allen of the Novus Ordo news site Crux has conducted a lengthy interview with Prevost that will be issued in early 2026 in English under the title Pope Leo XIV: Global Citizen, Missionary of the 21st Century.… READ MORE

Analyzing The Remnant‘s Absurd Theology
Robert Morrison is currently one of The Remnant‘s most prolific writers
On July 30, 2024, the semi-traditionalist recognize-and-resist publication The Remnant once again released an article by its columnist Robert Morrison that purports to offer traditional Catholic guidance to help people cut through the confusion of our times:
In actual fact, however, the write-up accomplishes no such thing. Rather, one is reminded of a warning given by Our Lord, to wit: “Let them alone: they are blind, and leaders of the blind.… READ MORE

The Peripheries’ Revenge: Bergoglio appoints Jorge García Cuerva ‘Archbishop’ of Buenos Aires
This past Friday, May 26, 2023, the big Vatican news story was that Jorge Mario Bergoglio (‘Pope’ Francis) had canceled the day’s appointments due to a fever. It was also reported that Telemundo had just published an interview with Francis, in which the talkative Argentinian apostate once again graced the globe with his infinite wisdom.
But then there was another big news story, one that did not receive immediate attention.
In the day’s Bollettino, the daily news bulletin of the Vatican press office, came the announcement that Francis had appointed a new ‘archbishop’ of Buenos Aires, his own former diocese.… READ MORE

The spokesman for the Vatican press office, Matteo Bruni, has released the following announcement: “With sorrow I inform you that the Pope Emeritus, Benedict XVI, passed away today at 9:34 [am local time] in the Mater Ecclesiae Monastery in the Vatican.

Absurd Spectacle in German Novus Ordo Parish
The Catholic church of St. Bartholomew in Klarenthal near Saarbrücken, Germany, was built from 1925-27. Today the sacred edifice is occupied by the false Catholics of the Vatican II religion.
The sanctuary worship space has the unmistakable look of the “great renewal” of the Second Vatican Council (1962-65), and really it is only the architecture of the building as a whole and the old pews that still remind one of the religion for which the church was originally built.… READ MORE

Concerning the Division of Ecclesiastical Law
from the Ius Canonicum (Volume 1, 1938)
Exclusive English Translation
50. Ecclesiastical law is divided: I. By reason of origin or source, into divine or natural or positive law, which has God as [its] author [1], and into human [law] set forth by the authority of the Church.
II. By reason of matter or object, [ecclesiastical law is divided] into public [2] and private [3]. These words have different meanings.
a) In fact, public law takes its name from the efficient cause, because it has been established by the public authority of the Church, and the opposite to it [is] private [law], which takes its origin from pacts or agreements of private [individual] men.… READ MORE
Target: Tyler, Texas
A Commentary on the sticky Strickland Situation
By now presumably everyone reading this post is aware of the news The Pillar broke on Monday:
At a meeting Saturday [Sep. 9. 2023], Pope Francis discussed with Vatican officials the prospect of requesting the resignation of Bishop Joseph Strickland of the Diocese of Tyler, Texas, The Pillar has learned.
The pope met Sept. 9 with Archbishop Robert Prevost, OSA, head of the Dicastery for Bishops, and Archbishop Christophe Pierre, apostolic nuncio to the United States – both cardinals-elect.
Several sources close to the dicastery told The Pillar ahead of the meeting that the prelates would present the pope with the results of an apostolic visitation of Strickland’s diocese, conducted earlier this year, as well as subsequent public actions by the bishop, who has emerged as an outspoken critic of the Holy Father.

First, you’re contradicting yourself. You just said that I supposedly hold it is impossible that a Pope or bishop ever err in matter of faith or
