Do you believe in magic? Sebastian Morello does, and he’s written a book to initiate you into the Hermetic mysteries he holds dear! He’ll guide you into luminous vistas of esoteria long overlooked by modern Catholics, but so vitally needed to help bring an end to the hex of an evil warlock, who’s brought about the crisis in the Church.… READ MORE

As it was scheduled, so it happened: Today, on Apr. 27, 2026, ‘Pope’ Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) received in private audience ‘the Most Reverend and Right Honourable Dame’ Sarah Mullally, the woman who in the Anglican religion is the current lawful occupant of the office of ‘Archbishop of Canterbury’. In that role she is to Anglicans what a Pope is to Catholics, more or less.… READ MORE

The false gospel of human-fraternity-because-it’s-all-the-same-God-anyway is once again rearing its ugly head. Although he has much better taste and style than ‘Pope’ Francis ever did, the equally-fake ‘Pope’ Leo XIV — more properly referred to as Bob Prevost from Chicago — is no different from his immediate predecessor in terms of doctrinal substance.

Prevost is currently visiting Algeria as part of an 11-day tour of various African nations.… READ MORE

‘Table of Abraham’: Washington Novus Ordo Parish Hosts Interreligious ‘Peace Meal’

On the Thursday before Palm Sunday, Mar. 26, 2026, Holy Redeemer ‘Catholic’ Church in Washington, D.C., hosted what it called an “interfaith peace meal for Jews, Muslims and Christians”.

The official title of the event was “Celebration at the Table of Abraham”, although ‘Table of Apostasy’ would have been more appropriate, considering the heresies that were dished up there. The dinner event was co-sponsored by Masjid Muhammad, a local Sunni mosque.

Here are two news reports on the event, both of them written by the same author, Mark Zimmerman:

On Jan. 28, 2026, Dame Sarah Elisabeth Mullally (b. 1962) was elected to succeed Justin Welby as the 106th Anglican Archbishop of Canterbury.

‘Her Grace’ was officially installed in Canterbury Cathedral on Mar. 25, 2026. It was an installation/enthronement only because her ‘ordination’, which made her a bishop according to Anglican theology, had already taken place on July 22, 2015, for her first post as ‘Bishop’ of Crediton.… READ MORE

In the Vatican II Church, it has long been in vogue to make the Lenten-penitential Stations of the Cross devotion (aka Via Crucis or Way of the Cross) not so much about the Holy Passion of Our Blessed Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as about the ‘passion of man’ — sufferings experienced by men on account of wars, injustice, persecution, discrimination, etc.

Jorge Bergoglio (‘Pope Francis’), in particular, was a big fan of directing people away from the divine “Man of Sorrows” (Isaias 53:3) and point them to ‘suffering man’ instead:

In making the genuine Stations of the Cross, Catholics meditate on the sorrowful journey of the Lord Jesus from Pilate’s court to Mount Calvary, carrying the cross on his shoulders all the way to the place of His Crucifixion.… READ MORE

Interreligious Jubilee at Our Lady of Guadalupe Basilica with Hare Krishna, Sufi Moslems, Jews, Protestants, and ‘Catholics’

Novus Ordos and other unbelievers — all united in their rejection of Catholicism…

What we are reporting in this post took place in Mexico nine months ago. It went largely unnoticed then because fewer than two weeks had passed since the end of the conclave, and so many ‘Catholic’ news agencies, journalists, and talking heads were still smitten with the election of Robert Prevost as ‘Pope Leo XIV’ and his ability to chant the Our Father and Regina Caeli in Latin.… READ MORE

Ecumenical Carnival Madness in German ‘Catholic’ Church

Year after year…

Ecumenical Carnival Madness in German ‘Catholic’ Church

It’s carnival season, and in Germany, that means it’s time for the annual “Fools’ Masses” or at least “Fools’ Liturgies”. Oftentimes these absurdities come in an ecumenical package, meaning it’s Novus Ordo adherents (‘Catholics’) and Lutherans celebrating together.

A video recently appeared on Instagram that shows what took place on Saturday evening, Feb. 7, 2026, in the ‘Catholic’ Church of Mary’s Assumption (Mariä Himmelfahrt) in the little town of Höchstädt, part of the diocese of Augsburg. It was released by the official Instagram account of the parish community, so we can be certain it’s genuine.… READ MORE

A Very Different Church:
Leo XIV and the ‘Week of Prayer for Christian Unity’

It’s that time of the year again: The annual so-called “Week of Prayer for Christian Unity” is right around the corner (Jan. 18-25), which is an ecumenicized version of the traditional Catholic “Chair of Unity Octave”, which was approved by Pope St. Pius X in 1909 and extended to the Universal Church by Pope Benedict XV in 1916. An octave is an observance of eight days, and it is called “Chair of Unity” in reference to the Chair of St.… READ MORE

Nationally-Televised Novus Ordo Mass in Germany
Features Slime Monster as Infant Jesus

Merry Christmas, Germany? More like April Fool’s….

Under its new ‘bishop’ Klaus Krämer (b. 1964), the uber-woke diocese of Rottenburg-Stuttgart, Germany, found a way to make Christmas not merely unappealing but downright repulsive: A nationally-televised ‘Christmas Mass’ on Dec. 24, 2025, included what was called a ‘living’ Christmas crib that was so repulsive that even non-religious people were outraged.

The abominable service was led by ‘Fr.’ Thomas Steiger (see photo here) and his female liturgical sidekick, pastoral associate Katharina Leser. The motto for this Christmas ‘Mass’ was: So viel Mensch war nie!… READ MORE

No Unity of Faith: Leo XIV Releases ‘Apostolic Letter’ Filled with Ecumenical Bilge and Other Errors

This past Sunday, Nov. 23, 2025, on the occasion of the Novus Ordo feast of ‘Jesus Christ, King of the Universe’, the current false pope in Rome, Bob Prevost from Chicago (‘His Holiness Leo XIV’), released a new ‘apostolic letter’ regarding the 1700th anniversary of the First Council of Nicea, in which the Catholic dogma of the Most Holy Trinity was defined:

Ironically entitled In Unitate Fidei (“In the Unity of Faith”), it claims the Council of Nicaea of 325 as the joint heritage of all ‘Christians’, by whom he means all the baptized who believe in the Trinity, regardless of what their religious affiliation is (Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox, etc.).… READ MORE

‘Catholic Queer Mass’ Debuts on German Television

With your friendly presider, Karsten Weidisch

This past Sunday, October 26, was a historic day for the German public-service television broadcaster ZDF. Although they have been live-streaming religious worship services every Sunday morning since 1979, alternating between the Novus Ordo Mass of the Vatican II Church and the services of the Lutheran Church (or occasionally some other Protestant denomination), this time it was a special service for ‘queer folk’ — aberrosexuals such as sodomites and transsexuals — presented by the ‘Roman Catholic’ diocese of Münster. That’s right: It was a ‘Catholic Mass’ with a ‘Catholic priest’ in a ‘Catholic church’ in full communion with the ‘Catholic diocese’ of Münster.… READ MORE

Vatican ‘Grace for the World’ Concert:
The Creepy ‘Spiritual’ Message of Pharrell Williams

Frequent readers of this blog may recall that on Sep. 13, 2025, St. Peter’s Square was transformed into a venue for a flashy, elaborately-produced musical concert and light show closing out the third annual so-called World Meeting on Human Fraternity.

Under the highly misleading title Grace for the World, the Vatican-sponsored event featured numerous celebrity performers. They included, among others, the Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli, American singer Teddy Swims, French-Beninese singer Angélique Kidjo, American rappers John Legend and the heavily-tattooed Jelly Roll, the Thai rapper BamBam, the American hip hop duo Clipse — and the American singer and songwriter Pharrell Williams (b.… READ MORE

Few Novus Ordo bishops have a more blatant record of appreciating, promoting, and defending blasphemy than ‘Bishop’ Hermann Glettler of Innsbruck, Austria. Indeed, until this week, one might have said that there has apparently never been a depiction of blasphemy he didn’t like.

But one would have been wrong.

It turns out that the Austrian blasphemer has now found a piece of blasphemy he does consider offensive and unacceptable: It is the ‘artwork’ Saint or Sinner?… READ MORE

Caution! German Novus Ordo Bishops Concelebrate Eucharist on Bizarre Altar

One of the most useless organizations in the world is the Conference of German Novus Ordo Bishops. Officially it bears the name ‘German Episcopal Conference’ (Deutsche Bischofskonferenz). It is essentially a body of well-funded Modernists and über-Modernists whose chief task seems to lie in wrecking what little resemblance to Catholicism may still be left in the souls under their care, “lest believing they should be saved” (Lk 8:12).

The current head of the ‘Catholic bishops’ of Germany is Mr.… READ MORE
