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

‘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

Francis in New Interview: ‘The Most Serious Sin a Missionary can commit is Proselytism’

No one protects the world from “paganism” quite like Jorge Bergoglio. Just a week ago, on Jan. 11, 2023, the Argentinian apostate, typically referred to as “Pope Francis” by most, proclaimed during an audience that Catholics who proselytize are “pagan” at heart:

Another time, he made clear that he considered proselytism to be a grave sin against ecumenism. Both of these labels were clearly a serious upgrade from his initial dismissal of proselytism as mere “solemn nonsense”.… READ MORE

Explanation of Acts 17:22-23

Do Pagans worship the True God without knowing it?
A Look at St. Paul’s Discourse to the Athenians

In Chapter 17 of the Acts of the Apostles, we find St. Paul discoursing with the pagan inhabitants of Athens, Greece. The city is immersed in idolatry, and the holy Apostle notices an altar dedicated “to the unknown god”. He uses this as a cue to preach to the Athenians the true God, whom indeed they do not yet know but are apparently disposed, however confusedly, to worship.

This incident is sometimes used by Novus Ordo apologists to support the positive view of paganism that the Vatican II religion has been fostering, and none more than Jorge Bergoglio, the man otherwise known as “Pope Francis”. … 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

Three Novus Ordo Cardinals attend Syncretistic Pagan Worship Ceremony in Panama

On Oct. 29, 2022, the Italian web site La Nuova Bussola Quotidiana, which is the Italian edition of Daily Compass, reported on an interesting incident that took place in Panama in connection with the seventh Continental Symposium on Indian Theology, which had been held from Oct. 3-8.

But first, some background regarding the conference itself. Vatican News explains:

About 50 pastoral agents, bishops responsible for indigenous pastoral care, religious, lay people and indigenous theologians and delegates from their communities will reflect on the “Holy Spirit and the native peoples”, theme of the meeting, which aims to continue the path of deepening the doctrinal contents of Indian theology, to advance in its clarification in the light of the Word of God and the Magisterium of the Church.

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 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

A ‘Cry for Peace’: Francis leads Interreligious Prayer Meeting at Roman Colosseum

It has been said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, yet expecting different results.

If that be true, then the world just got a little more insane on October 25, 2022, when the umpteenth interreligious prayer-for-peace assembly was held under the leadership of the head of the Vatican II religion, currently Jorge Bergoglio, also known as “Pope Francis”.

Under the motto “The Cry for Peace”, the world was subjected to yet another spectacle of representatives of different religions talking about and praying for world peace.… READ MORE

Kentucky Trappists receive Buddhist Monks

The famous Abbey of Gethsemani near Bardstown, Kentucky, had some special guests the other day.

The Trappist Novus Ordo monks were visited not only by “Buddhist friends and guests”, as they write on their official web site, but very specifically by “His Eminence” Kundeling Tatsak Rinpoche. In case the name doesn’t sound familiar, the Trappists inform us that he is “not merely a teacher, but an emanation of Manjushri, the Wisdom Buddha, the current incarnation of a long and renowned lineage.” Can’t beat that!

Mr. Kundeling is a 40-year-old Tibetan who lives in India.… READ MORE

A Recap of Francis’ Participation in the Congress of World Religions in Kazakhstan

A lot happened last week in Kazakhstan. The seventh so-called Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions took place in the capital of Nur-Sultan, also known as Astana, and the head of the Vatican II religion, the Argentinian apostate Jorge Bergoglio (“Pope Francis”) had a prominent role to play in it.

Originally scheduled to be held in the city’s pyramid building, named the Palace of Peace and Reconciliation, it ended up being transferred to the Palace of Independence.… READ MORE

Ever since Francis’ trip to Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, in February of 2019, the false pope has left absolutely no doubt that he believes that the existence of many different religions is a positive thing, an asset for humanity, indeed willed by God Himself no less than He wills the existence of various races, languages, and the two sexes.

This issue came up again at the recent Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions held in Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan, in which His Phoniness took active part.… READ MORE
