Earlier this month we published a post on St. Augustine of Hippo writing to one Bp. Hesychius regarding the Church’s visibility during the Great Apostasy before Christ returns:

The question of the visibility of the Church is a crucial one, for the Church founded by Christ is visible by her very nature and she must ever remain in her essential constitution exactly the way Christ founded her: “But since the Church is such [having both visible and invisible elements] by divine will and constitution, such it must uniformly remain to the end of time.… READ MORE

Roughly two weeks after welcoming Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi at the Vatican, “Pope” Francis (Jorge Bergoglio) today received U.S. resident Joe Biden. The two had an “unprecedentedly long” meeting (see link below) and, judging from photos and some video clips, clearly enjoyed each other’s company.… READ MORE

Annual message for Diwali…

Vatican hopes Hindu Idolatry will bring Light and Hope to World of Darkness and Despair

It’s that time of the year again when the Novus Ordo Sect congratulates Hindus on their celebration of “light”, known as Diwali or Deepavali, which this year is observed on Nov. 4.

This year’s message, sent by “Cardinal” Miguel Ángel Ayuso Guixot of the so-called Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue, bears the ominous title: “Christians and Hindus: Together Bringing Light in People’s Lives in Times of Despair”. What hopeful light might this be? Let’s find out.

The letter begins with the “Cardinal’s” expressed desire that observing the idolatrous Hindu feast may, “even in the midst of anxiety and uncertainty arising from the present pandemic, and its resultant worldwide crises, light up your lives, homes and communities with the hope for a better future!”… READ MORE

Apostate Bergoglio endorses World’s Religions as “Different Ways of Coming to God”

On Oct. 5, 2021, the Jesuit apostate Jorge Bergoglio (“Pope Francis”) hosted the round-table meeting “Religions and Education: Towards a Global Compact on Education” at the Vatican. It was the latest installment in the false pope’s ongoing attempts to come up with a one-size-fits-all educational model that will adequately prepare the world for the eventual arrival of the Antichrist.

Before we look at the details, however, let’s first recall the two preceding episodes in that ominous Bergoglian saga:

When he speaks to an interreligious audience, Francis will always speak about religion in terms of the lowest common denominator.… READ MORE

Can the Magisterium ‘devour’ Sacred Tradition? Reply to an irresponsible Article by Rorate Caeli

Refuting yet another attempt to avoid Sedevacantism…

Can the Magisterium ‘devour’ Sacred Tradition?
Reply to an irresponsible Article by Rorate Caeli

In their efforts to steer a middle course between the Novus Ordo religion on the one side and Sedevacantism on the other, the recognize-and-resist traditionalists must continually come up with ideas and arguments that justify a divorce of the Deposit of Faith from the Church’s magisterium. The reason is simple: The man they stubbornly insist on acknowledging as the true and valid Pope of the Catholic Church, is himself not a Catholic and teaches heresies and other anti-Catholic errors even in his official magisterial acts.… READ MORE

Hot Air, Half-Truths, and Heresy: Bergoglio spews Bilge on Justification

Martin Luther would be proud!

Hot Air, Half-Truths, and Heresy:
Bergoglio spews Bilge on Justification

At today’s General Audience, Jorge Bergoglio (“Pope Francis”) presented another “catechesis” on St. Paul’s Letter to the Galatians that was nothing short of a theological catastrophe. The special focus of this particular Bergoglian blather session was the doctrine of justification.

In the past, the false pope had already made clear that, with regard to justification, he sides with Martin Luther against the Council of Trent. At an in-flight press conference aboard Airhead One on June 26, 2016, the papal pretender bluntly made known his heretical depravity in the following way: “I think that the intentions of Martin Luther were not mistaken.… READ MORE

Free Transcript: Bp. Donald Sanborn analyzes Traditionis Custodes – PLUS: More Resources

On July 24, 2021, the folks at True Restoration released a phenomenal podcast episode of their popular FRANCIS WATCH program. It was a special episode (no. 47) dedicated to the decree Traditionis Custodes the false pope had just released, in which he essentially phases out, however gradually, the use of the 1962 Roncalli Missal (the “Traditional Latin Mass”, for all intents and purposes) in the Vatican II Church.

In the podcast, host Matthew Gaskins interviews Bishop Donald Sanborn, rector of the sedevacantist Most Holy Trinity Seminary in Brooksville, Florida, regarding the historical and theological claims made in Traditionis Custodes.… READ MORE

The Church and the Synagogue: Before and After Vatican II

“No Rupture with the Past” Update…

The Church and the Synagogue:
Before and After Vatican II

In order to see the clear rupture that exists between the Novus Ordo Sect and the Roman Catholic Church with regard to its view of apostate Judaism (i.e. the “Judaism” after the transition from the Old to the New Covenant), it is not necessary to slog through complicated tomes of theology.

One simple way to recognize and understand the substantial difference between the two is to look at how the Roman Catholic intercessory prayer for the Jews that is offered on Good Friday differs from the post-Vatican II version.… READ MORE

Bombshells and Drivel galore: In Q&A with Slovak Jesuits, Francis hits back at Critics

Explosive transcript released…

Bombshells and Drivel galore:
In Q&A with Slovak Jesuits, Francis hits back at Critics

During his recent trip to Slovakia, the Argentinian aposte Jorge Bergoglio (aka “Pope Francis”) once again took time to meet with his fellow Jesuits, which usually means they get to ask him questions and he then responds with his incredibly profound wisdom.

This is something he’s been doing on pretty much all his trips outside of Italy, so it was expected. A full transcript of the question-and-answer session is always released a few weeks later by “Fr.” Antonio Spadaro, S.J., editor-in-chief of the Jesuit review La Civiltà Cattolica, which under Pope Pius IX started out as an eminently orthodox publication but has long since degenerated into an utter Modernist rag.… READ MORE

Francis jokes about Jewish Woman receiving “Communion”, addresses Amoris Laetitia and Abortion

Today the false pope, Francis (Jorge Bergoglio), concluded his trip to Hungary and Slovakia. On his return flight aboard Airhead One, he held another one of his notorious press conferences, where he answers questions from journalists more or less spontaneously and candidly.

A full video of the 28-minute conference has been provided by Vatican News (Italian), with a full English transcript, available here:

Most of the tidbits came in his lengthy answer given to American journalist Gerard O’Connell, who asked:

You have often said we are all sinners, and that the Eucharist is not a reward for the perfect but a medicine and food for the weak.

Lexington’s Rainbow Bishop has Cathedral Deacon announce Rector and Vicar aren’t Vaccinated


Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the wokest of them all?

The Franciscan apostate John Stowe (b. 1966) has been playacting “Roman Catholic bishop” of Lexington, Kentucky, since 2015. Given his job performance so far, he seems to be vying for the distinct honor of worst Novus Ordo bishop in the United States — not an easy task, considering all the contenders!

Yesterday, Sep. 12, 2021, “Bp.” Stowe ordered an announcement to be read after the Novus Ordo worship service (still incorrectly called “Mass” by some conservatives in the Vatican II Church) in his cathedral.… READ MORE

Post-Catholic Vatican to Jewish Rabbis:
Old Mosaic Law is “Way of Salvation for Jews”


“Cardinal” Kurt Koch, the Vatican’s top ecumenist

The Jesuit apostate Jorge Bergoglio (“Pope Francis”) recently got in trouble with Jewish authorities after preaching Christ over Moses in his Aug. 11 Wednesday catechesis on St. Paul’s Letter to the Galatians. Some rabbis in Israel and the United States were alarmed and sent letters to the “Pope” demanding a clarification.

After all, had the Second Vatican Council (1962-65) not long replaced — one might say, superseded — the teaching of St.… READ MORE

“Little Amal” is the name given to an enormous puppet that is currently traveling through Europe. Its journey began on July 27 in Gaziantep, southern Turkey (near Syria), and its final stop will be Manchester, England, for a total of 8,000 km (4,971 miles).

Amal — the name is Arabic for “hope” — is supposed to represent a nine-year-old refugee girl in search of her mother. The puppet is meant to stand for the alleged masses of displaced minors fleeing from wars and persecution.… READ MORE

Francis Answers Jewish Criticism on Obsoleteness of Old Law

On Aug. 25, 2021, we reported that the papal impostor Jorge Bergoglio (“Francis”) had received a letter from the Chief Rabbinate of Israel complaining about his Aug. 11 Wednesday catechesis, in which he (correctly) taught, commenting on St. Paul’s Letter to the Galatians, that the Mosaic Law of the Old Covenant is not capable of giving supernatural life to the soul. Rather, this life is only had through sanctifying grace, which has been merited and made available to us in the New Covenant by our Blessed Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.… READ MORE
