Allocution of His Holiness Pope Pius IX to Cardinals gathered in Consistory on the day after the Definition of the Dogma of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Dec. 9, 1854
Filled with a singular joy, We exult in the Lord, Venerable Brothers, when we behold, standing in great numbers around us this day, you whom we can call with truth our joy and crown. You are indeed a portion of those who partake of our labors and our cares, in feeding that universal flock which the Lord has confided to our weakness, in protecting and defending the rights of the Catholic religion, in adding to it new followers who serve and adore, in sincerity of faith, the God of justice and of truth.… READ MORE
His Holiness Pope Pius XII
Supreme Sacred Congregation of the Holy Office
Cum Compertum (1948)
Canonical Warning on Catholics attending Ecumenical Gatherings
Editorial Comment: Novus Ordo Watch is pleased to provide the first English translation of this rare, hard-to-find document issued by the Sacred Congregation of the Holy Office of the Roman Catholic Church, dated June 5, 1948, entitled Cum Compertum. It is a canonical warning, a so-called Monitum, issued by the Church’s highest authority against Catholic involved in ecumenical gatherings with non-Catholics, very much the kind now fully endorsed and promoted by the Novus Ordo Church and its bogus “Second Vatican Council”.… READ MORE
Apostolic Letter of His Holiness Pope Pius IX to all Protestants and other Non-Catholics at the convocation of the [First] Vatican Council, Sept. 13, 1868, that they might return to the Catholic Church
TO ALL PROTESTANTS AND OTHER NON-CATHOLICS
Pius IX, Pope
You all know already that We, having been raised, notwithstanding Our unworthiness, to this Chair of Peter, and therefore invested with the supreme government and guardianship of the whole Catholic Church, divinely entrusted to Us by Christ our Lord, have judged it seasonable to call to Us Our Venerable Brethren, the Bishops of the whole earth, and to unite them together, to celebrate, next year, an Ecumenical Council; so that, in concert with these Our Venerable Brethren who are called to share in Our cares, We may take those steps which may be most opportune and necessary, both to disperse the darkness of the many noxious errors which everywhere increasingly prevail, to the great loss of souls ; and also to establish and confirm daily more and more among the Christian people entrusted to Our watchfulness the Kingdom of true Faith, Justice, and the Peace of God.… READ MORE

The Encyclical Mirari Vos of Pope Gregory XVI (1832)
Last year, our friends over at Restoration Radio launched an exciting new series on the errors of modernity: In The Popes Against Modern Errors, sedevacantist Bishop Donald Sanborn analyzes and comments on the great anti-modern encyclical letters of the Popes from Gregory XVI through Pius XII (1831-1958).
The first episode is dedicated to Pope Gregory XVI’s 1832 landmark encyclical against liberalism, Mirari Vos. This magisterial document condemns and refutes errors such as indifferentism, freedom of speech, religious liberty, and separation of church and state.… READ MORE
Okay, everyone, it’s time to get your surprise face ready: For anyone who was still in doubt about what Francis’ central message to the world from the last 3+ years has been, he has now repeated it in plain English — well, Italian actually — in case his words and actions so far have not been clear enough: It doesn’t matter what religion you are.
Speaking off the cuff to a group of youngsters at Rome’s Villa Borghese park on April 24 to commemorate so-called “Earth Day”, the Argentinian papal pretender said the following:
Ecumenical Memorial Service for Lutheran Sodomite in Cologne Basilica — Novus Ordo Prelate preaches Eulogy
For those who still think that the Novus Ordo Sect is holding the line regarding the condemnation of homosexuality, we must report that despite what some few “official documents” might say, the lived reality is quite the opposite.
On March 18, 2016, the former Vice Chancellor and Foreign Minister of Germany, Guido Westerwelle, died of leukemia in his home town of Cologne at the age of 54:
Westerwelle, a registered Lutheran, was a public sodomite who lived in an officially-recognized civil partnership, commonly referred to as “homo marriage” in Germany, with his “husband”, Michael Mronz.… READ MORE
At the heart of the Novus Ordo Church there is Ecumenism, a collection of heretical, erroneous, and impious beliefs and practices that — officially — aims to bring about “unity” among all those who claim the name of “Christian.” In similar fashion, the practice of Interreligious Dialogue aims to foster good relations with Jews, Mohammedans, and Pagans of every kind.
Lip service to the contrary notwithstanding, both ecumenism and interreligious dialogue deny the uniqueness of the Catholic Church as the only true Church established by God, the necessity of belonging to the Church for salvation, the dogma of the unity of the Church in faith and government, and many other Catholic doctrines, whether implicitly or explicitly.… READ MORE

“Reveal to the faithful the wolves which are demolishing the Lord’s vineyard.” —Pope Clement XIII, Encyclical Christianae Reipublicae, 1766
“We declare that a great number of those who are condemned to eternal punishment suffer that everlasting calamity because of ignorance of those mysteries of faith which must be known and believed in order to be numbered among the elect.”
Francis again affirms Non-Catholic “Martyrs”, says Monophysites are Part of the Body of Christ
Please pardon us if we sound repetitive, but it is “Pope” Francis’ fault, for he is the one who keeps repeating the same heresies over and over again. We realize that, deplorably, we find ourselves so deeply trapped in Theological Absurdistan now that one more heretical statement from the “Holy Father” will barely elicit any reaction from those who have long made themselves believe that a heretical Pope is not only possible but even a fairly common, or at least trivial, occurrence in Church history.… READ MORE
Fun and Games:
Play “Find the Cross” with Francis!
It’s time for a little “papal” peek-a-boo! Come join the fun, watch the above video and see if you can find the pectoral cross of “Pope” Francis — or any other cross or crucifix in the shocking interfaith video produced by Jorge “Preach the Gospel Always” Bergoglio….
Great news! German Modernists are running out of students to infect with Modernism - https://cathcon.blogspot.com/2025/07/number-of-people-studying-catholic.html
One of Bergoglio's chief propagandists, Rev. Antonio Spadaro, "has announced that he will publish a book entitled 'From Francis to Leo XIV', in which he will collect statements made by Pope Leo XIV when he was still a cardinal" - And, of course, Judas
That's quite the highlight. Who doesn't want peace in the world?

In what will go down as one of the highlights of his Pontificate, Pope Leo XIV tells young people in St. Peter’s Square: “Our cry must also be for peace in the world. Let us all say: We want peace in the world”
And 100,000 young people repeat back: “We want peace in the world!” https://t.co/7wWJdn0Kv9
No question, the biggest problem in the Archdiocese of Detroit was that not all seminary professors fell completely in line with Bergoglianism - https://www.ncronline.org/opinion/archbishop-weisenburger-confronts-problem-no-1-detroit-seminary
