Vatican II Revisited:
Louie Verrecchio Dismantles the Conciliar Documents

This past December 8 marked the 60th anniversary of the closing of the Second Vatican Council (1962-65), that ominous assembly that is the magisterial ground zero for ‘modern Catholicism’ — an attempt to do the impossible and reconcile Catholicism to the secular modern world by means of an aggiornamento (“updating”) of the Catholic religion.

The result was a diabolical counterfeit Catholicism that embraces, in one way or another, many of the errors the Catholic Church sternly condemned until the death of Pope Pius XII in 1958: ecumenism, religious liberty, Sillonism, collegiality, subjectivism, liberalism, Modernism — the list is long and the errors are deadly.… READ MORE

Joseph Ratzinger in 1990:
Church’s Anti-Modernist Teachings Have Been ‘Superseded’

On June 26, 1990, the Vatican released a 27-page “Instruction on the Ecclesial Vocation of the Theologian” bearing the official title Donum Veritatis (“The Gift of Truth”). It is available on the Vatican web site in English and sundry other languages:

The text was presented at a press conference by then-‘Cardinal’ Joseph Ratzinger (1927-2022), who at the time was head of the so-called Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith under ‘Pope’ John Paul II (r.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

LEO WATCH, Episode 7

“We Must Leave Behind Theological Controversies”

Since May 8 of last year, the Rev. Robert F. Prevost has been running the Vatican II Church as ‘Pope Leo XIV’.

The sedevacantist podcast program LEO WATCH evaluates Leo’s public actions and teachings from the perspective of traditional Roman Catholicism, that is, that which the entire world knew to be Roman Catholicism until the death of Pope Pius XII in 1958.

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

Vatican Preacher Pasolini: Christ ‘Reveal[s] to Each Person His or Her Own Truth’

False prophet in a Capuchin’s habit: Roberto Pasolini, OFM Cap.

The Capuchin Modernist Rev. Roberto Pasolini (b. 1971) is the current ‘Preacher of the Papal Household’. Jorge Bergoglio, aka ‘Pope Francis’, chose him last year to replace the insufferable Fr. Raniero Cantalamessa, who had turned 90 that year, and who had held the position since 1980.

Pasolini’s appointment has been controversial from the beginning. The reason? It won’t come as a surprise to most, but he has been caught preaching some unorthodox ideas concerning homosexuality.… READ MORE

‘Eternal Rome’:
Pope Pius XII Against Recognize-and-Resist

In a Novus Ordo Watch tweet of Oct. 23, 2025, reacting to this article headline by The Remnant, we stated: “Just a quick reminder to The Remnant that there is no such thing as ‘Eternal Rome’. That term was invented by Abp. Marcel Lefebvre to accommodate his position of recognizing Modernists as true Catholic Popes while resisting their heretical magisterium.”

It turns out that is not entirely correct. A reader made us aware that in 1949 the phrase “Eternal Rome” was actually used by Pope Pius XII (r.… READ MORE

These days the Novus Ordo Sect is celebrating 60 years of the Second Vatican Council‘s declaration Nostra Aetate on the Church’s relationship to non-Christian religions. It was solemnly promulgated by the false pope Paul VI on Oct. 28, 1965, with these words:

Each and all these items which are set forth in this Declaration have met with the approval of the Council Fathers.

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

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 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

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 Denies Another Miracle, Says Christ Invited the Deaf-Mute to Choose to Speak Again!

Exactly one month has passed since Robert Francis Prevost — stage name: ‘Pope Leo XIV’ — denied Christ’s Miracle of the Multiplication of the Loaves. He did so by reinterpreting it in typical Modernist fashion as a ‘miracle’ of sharing: “…the real miracle performed by Christ was to show that the key to overcoming hunger lies in sharing rather than in greedily hoarding”, the false pope declared in a message to the FAO Conference in Rome on June 30, 2025.… 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
