Non-Catholic ‘Martyrs’: Francis adds 21 murdered Copts as ‘Saints’ to Roman Martyrology

An icon of the 21 Coptic Orthodox who were murdered by ISIS terrorists in 2015 (created by Tony Rezk)

If you blinked, you probably missed it: Jorge Bergoglio, the Modernist apostate from Buenos Aires who has occupied the Vatican for over a decade now under the stage name ‘Pope Francis’, has just declared 21 non-Catholic (Coptic Orthodox) ‘martyrs’ to be added to the Roman martyrology, which is the official list of martyrs accepted by and venerated in the Latin Church.

Even the Novus Ordo press recognizes that this is a big deal: “A ‘bolt out of the blue’: Pope Francis sets off an ecumenical earthquake”, The Catholic World Report writes; “Unpacking how history changed … with recognition of Coptic martyrs”, Crux explains.… READ MORE

False pope teaches false doctrine…

The Impossible Encyclical: Pacem in Terris turns 60

The false pope John XXIII as he unleashes false doctrine on unsuspecting Catholics (Apr. 10, 1963)

These days the Vatican is commemorating the 60th anniversary of the encyclical letter Pacem in Terris (“Peace on Earth”) by Angelo Roncalli (‘Pope John XXIII’). Although officially dated Apr. 11, 1963 — Holy Thursday — it was actually signed and issued a day early.

Pacem in Terris came at the tail end of Roncalli’s usurped pontificate — less than two months later, he was dead. It was the height of the Cold War, the Cuban Missile Crisis having occurred roughly six months before.… READ MORE

Vatican Preacher: ‘Vicar of Christ’ is Misleading Title for Pope because Christ is Never Absent from His Church

The Papacy isn’t the only dogma the apostate Fr. Cantalamessa has a problem with…

In 1555, Pope Paul IV instituted the office of the Preacher Apostolic, also known as the Preacher of the Papal Household. Whoever is appointed Preacher of the Papal Household is the only person in the world who is allowed to preach to the Pope. This is a rather useful function, considering that the Pope too is just a man, a sinner whose soul needs to receive spiritual nourishment from the sermons and exhortations of a preacher: “And how shall they hear, without a preacher?”… READ MORE

‘Abrahamic Family House’ with Church, Mosque, and Synagogue opens in Abu Dhabi

Three cubes for a more fraternal — and less Catholic — world

The ever-advancing global apostasy has just reached another mile marker. On Feb. 16, 2023, the so-called Abrahamic Family House was solemnly inaugurated in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

The project comes with the full endorsement of Jorge Bergoglio, the Argentinian apostate who has been playing “Pope Francis” for nearly 10 years now in the post-Catholic Vatican. In fact, Francis is one of the instigators of this unholy endeavor, which has been called the “first fruits” of the blasphemous and heretical Document on Human Fraternity the false pope signed together with the Moslem imam Ahmad Al-Tayyib in Abu Dhabi on Feb.… 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

Beginning with the Edict of Milan in the early 4th century, which legalized Christianity throughout the Roman Empire, Bp. Sanborn traced the history of the Catholic Church all the way up to, but not including, the French Revolution.… READ MORE

Kosher Frank: ‘Pope’ Francis blows the Jewish Shofar, gives World Jewish Congress an Office in Vatican City

shofar is the horn of an animal, usually a ram, that is used as a wind instrument. It has its origins in the Old Testament, going back as far as the book of Exodus: “When the trumpet shall begin to sound, then let them go up into the mount” (Ex 19:13b).

The shofar is used for religious purposes only. In our day, sounding the shofar is chiefly associated with apostate Judaism, where the musical horn is used for many different reasons, as explained in their religious texts such as the Kabbalah and the Talmud.… READ MORE

Francis to African University Students: Avoid the ‘Supermarket of Salvation’, but be ‘Apostles of the Earth’!

On Tuesday, Nov. 1, 2022, the Argentinian apostate Jorge Bergoglio (“Pope Francis”) was busy helping university students build bridges across Africa. To that end he participated in a Zoom video conference event entitled, “Building Bridges Across Africa: A Synodal Encounter between Pope Francis and African University Students”, sponsored, among other entities, by the Pan-African Catholic Theology and Pastoral Network.

The main theme of the dialogue with university students was “Ubuntu: A culture of encounter; we all belong”.… READ MORE

Francis dumps Truckloads of Heresy and Error in Address to Ecumenical Audience in Bahrain


Never at a loss for words, the apostate Bergoglio had plenty to say to his ecumenical audience

In our last post, we demonstrated Jorge Bergoglio’s apostasy in his speeches to Muslims in Awali, Bahrain. Under his stage name “Pope Francis”, he preached to them not Jesus Christ but, instead, transcendence and fraternity, which alone, he claimed, could save us:

Right after his speech to the Muslim Council of Elders on Nov.… READ MORE

Francis to Muslim Elders:
‘Transcendence and Fraternity Alone will Save Us’

As noted in our most recent podcast, TRADCAST EXPRESS 164, the false pope Jorge Bergoglio (“Francis”) is currently on a four-day blather tour in Bahrain, a small island nation in the Persian Gulf. Bahrain is a monarchy with Islam as the official state religion; but other creeds too have many rights.

Thursday, Nov. 3, was Bergoglio’s first day in the kingdom, and he had plenty to say in his address to the nation’s governing authorities, civil society, and diplomatic corps.

Identifying Bahrain as “a crossroads of mutual enrichment between peoples”, Francis observed that the land “has always been a place of encounter between different peoples” — in other words, it is a perfect setting for him to promote his Masonic ideology of encounter, fraternity, and religious pluralism.… READ MORE
