Not Catholic? No problem! Then Mr. Prevost has a non-Catholic message for you…

On Saturday, Sep. 20, 2025, an event called the ALS Walk for Life was held in Chicago, Illinois. It describes itself thus: “The ALS Walk for Life is the biggest ALS gathering in the Midwest.

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

On Jan. 31, 2025, ‘Pope’ Francis appointed 52-year-old Rev. Johannes Freitag (b. 1972) as auxiliary bishop of the diocese of Graz-Seckau, Austria. He was officially (but invalidly, acc. to traditional Catholic criteria) ordained on May 1 during the Novus Ordo sede vacante period.

In his function as auxiliary in Graz-Seckau, Freitag has been working under ‘Bp.’ Wilhelm Krautwaschl, the local ordinary (more on that fellow later).… READ MORE

Knowing When to Swallow: Leo XIV Omits Controversial Line in Common Recitation of ‘Ecumenical’ Creed

The Rev. Robert Prevost engaging in strategic swallowing on Sep. 14, 2025

On Sunday, Sep. 14, 2025, Robert F. Prevost (‘Pope Leo XIV’) presided over an ecumenical liturgical celebration officially entitled “Commemoration of the Martyrs and Witnesses of the Faith of the 21st century”.

Leo was joined by representatives of various heretical and schismatic sects, and ‘Cardinal’ Kurt Koch, the head of the Vatican’s so-called Dicastery for Promoting Christian Unity, also happily participated. “The prayer service [of] Sept.… READ MORE

Leo XIV Backs 1986 Assisi Prayer Meeting, Abu Dhabi Declaration in Message to Interreligious Conference

Currently the head of the post-Catholic Vatican: Rev. Robert Prevost

In case anyone was still wondering what to think of Robert Francis Prevost, better known by his stage name ‘Pope Leo XIV’, today he made it absolutely clear that he fully endorses and seeks to advance the same apostate agenda that was launched with the Vatican II declaration Nostra Aetate, was boosted with ‘Pope’ John Paul II‘s 1986 interreligious prayer meeting in Assisi (which spawned a whole series of such frightful events), and that was kicked into high gear with ‘Pope’ Francis’ 2019 Abu Dhabi declaration on human fraternity.… READ MORE

Leo XIV Spews Ecumenical Bilge in Message Commemorating 1925 Stockholm Ecumenical Conference

A so-called ‘Ecumenical Week’ recently ended in Stockholm, Sweden, celebrating the centenary of an interreligious conference in the Swedish capital in 1925. Not surprisingly, Robert Prevost (‘Pope Leo XIV’) sent the participants a congratulatory message and joined the festivities in spirit.

The official name of the gathering 100 years ago was “Universal Christian Conference on Life and Work”, having been set up by Nathan Söderblom (1866-1931), who was then an archbishop of the so-called Lutheran Church of Sweden. It ran from Aug.… READ MORE

Vatican II Ecclesiology Refuted Before Vatican II

A battle of doctrine: Pope Pius XII (left) vs. Antipope Paul VI (right)

Part of the core mission of Novus Ordo Watch is to demonstrate how the teachings, laws, and worship of the modern ‘Catholic Church’ reflect a faith that is essentially different from, and therefore wholly incompatible with, the Roman Catholic Faith as it was known until the death of Pope Pius XII in 1958.

One of the most glaring deviations from the prior doctrine is visible in the theology of the Church (ecclesiology), that is, in the Catholic Church’s understanding of her own nature, function, and necessity.… READ MORE

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

Leo XIV to Ecumenical Group with Orthodox: ‘Rome, Constantinople, and All Other Sees Not Called to Vie for Primacy’

‘Pope’ Leo XIV in Castel Gandolfo on July 13, 2025

Today at Castel Gandolfo, the ‘Holy Father’ Robert Prevost (‘Pope Leo XIV’) received in audience participants in a so-called Orthodox-Catholic ecumenical pilgrimage from the United States. The Vatican has published some photos here.

Aside from the usual ecumenical blather about “restoring full unity among all Christ’s disciples” — as if one could be a disciple of Christ without belonging to His flock, which is the Roman Catholic Church exclusively — ‘Pope’ Leo dropped a bombshell regarding papal primacy.… READ MORE

Our latest podcast episode, TRADCAST EXPRESS 212, was published on July 12, 2025, and it covers a number of crazy news stories that document the insanity of the Vatican II Church, now under new management with Leo XIV.

Specifically, we look at Leo XIV’s expressed desire to make converts — for the environment, of course; the Vatican’s interest in World Kiswahili Language Day; the German diocese of Rottenburg-Stuttgart’s publication of prayers for the blessing of perverted relationships; the ‘papal’ nuncio to the United Kingdom’s celebration of a Novus Ordo Mass at the Anglican Cathedral of Canterbury; and the Society of St.… READ MORE

Graz is the capital of the Austrian state of Styria. The official state memorial service was of the interreligious kind, of course, and was held at the local Roman Catholic cathedral on June 17.… READ MORE

Who Came Up with the Idea that Christ’s Church ‘Subsists in’ the Catholic Church, as Vatican II Teaches?

Many readers of this blog will be familiar with the controversy concerning the teaching of the Second Vatican Council (1962-65) that the Church founded by Jesus Christ “subsists in” (Latin: subsistit in) the Roman Catholic Church, as taught in its 1964 dogmatic constitution on the Church, as follows:

This Church constituted and organized in the world as a society, subsists in the Catholic Church, which is governed by the successor of Peter and by the Bishops in communion with him, although many elements of sanctification and of truth are found outside of its visible structure.
