Was Cardinal John Henry Newman a Modernist?

On July 31, 2025, the Vatican announced that Cardinal John Henry Newman (1801-1890), whom ‘Pope’ Francis invalidly declared a saint in 2019, will be named a Doctor of the Church by ‘Pope’ Leo XIV later this year:

We may suppose that there is a reason why Leo XIV and his fellow-Modernists want to have Cardinal Newman honored as a Doctor of the Church, and it’s probably not because they want to promote the celebrated convert’s theological defenses of Catholicism against Anglicanism and other heresies.… 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 Eastern Orthodox: ‘Rome, Constantinople, and All Other Sees Not Called to Vie for Primacy’

Nothing to see here, just a little HERESY…

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

LEO WATCH, Episode 2

“What is commonly called the multiplication of the loaves”

For over two months now, the Vatican II Church has been under new management. Since May 8, Robert Francis Prevost has been running the show as ‘Pope Leo XIV’.

The popular FRANCIS WATCH podcast program has thus become LEO WATCH, and it had its debut on June 3.

LEO WATCH is produced by Roman Catholic Media on a monthly basis. A second episode was broadcast live on July 10 on YouTube.

As with its predecessor FRANCIS WATCH, in the new LEO WATCH, host Stephen Heiner is joined by sedevacantist Bishop Donald J.… READ MORE

Leo XIV Debuts New ‘Mass for Care of Creation’ at Castel Gandolfo, Calls for Ecological Conversion

With the approval of ‘Pope’ Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) and under the leadership of ‘Cardinal’ Arthur Roche, the Vatican’s so-called Dicastery for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments has authorized a new votive Mass.

It is the so-called ‘Mass for the Care of Creation’ (Missa pro custodia creationis), for which the prayers and texts were published on July 3, 2025. They are being added to the section of the Novus Ordo Roman Missal (‘Sacramentary’ in the United States) that contains Mass formularies ‘for various needs and occasions’ (pro variis necessitatibus vel ad diversa):

Eager to try it out, Leo XIV announced that he would use it for the first time on July 9.… READ MORE

While certain ‘traditional Catholic’ bloggers, journalists, and YouTubers are focusing on things like how beautifully Leo XIV chants the Our Father in Latin, the new false pope of the Vatican II Church is busy harming souls.

In an official ‘papal’ message released today for the 44th session of the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization Conference currently taking place in Rome, the man formerly known only as Robert Francis Prevost states:

The Church encourages all initiatives to put an end to the outrage of hunger in the world, making her own the sentiments of her Lord, Jesus, who, as the Gospels narrate, when he saw a great multitude coming to him to hear his word, was concerned first of all to feed them, and for this purpose asked the disciples to take charge of the problem, abundantly blessing the efforts they made (cf.

Is Leo XIV Correcting Francis? Against the Magisterial ‘Vibe Shift’ of Eric Sammons

Is Leo XIV Correcting Francis?
Against the Magisterial ‘Vibe Shift’ of Eric Sammons

Mr. Eric Sammons, magisterial vibe shift detector

Eric Sammons, the editor-in-chief of Crisis Magazine, has once again cranked out some foolish and dangerous claims about the Catholic Faith.

In the June 3, 2025 episode of his Crisis Point Podcast, entitled “Pope Leo Contradicts Pope Francis”, he suggests that when Popes correct a teaching of their predecessors, they do so not openly or directly but by means of a ‘vibe shift’. This does not pose a problem for the Catholic magisterium, he maintains, because papal teaching isn’t truly magisterial of itself; rather, only subsequent repetition by future Popes and acceptance by the Church as a whole, drawn out over a long period of time, renders a papal teaching genuinely magisterial.… READ MORE

Taylor Marshall’s About-Face on Robert Prevost:
From Worst-Choice Candidate to Hope for the Church?

Imagine you’re a ‘trusted Catholic influencer’ with a huge following and you publish a video about who in your opinion would be among the worst possible candidates for Pope.

For Dr. Taylor Marshall that distinction belonged to ‘Cardinal’ Pietro Parolin, but since his chances had tanked in the days just before the 2025 conclave due to alleged involvement in a financial scandal, among other things, Marshall wasn’t terribly worried about him anymore. The next in line for worst candidate in his estimation was — wait for it — ‘Cardinal’ Robert Francis Prevost.… READ MORE

Robert Prevost’s First Few Weeks as ‘Pope’ Leo XIV

For almost a month now, the Vatican II Church has been under new management. After the death of Jorge Bergoglio (‘Pope Francis’) on Apr. 21, the conclave to choose his successor ended on May 8 after only four ballots, and Robert F. Prevost stepped onto the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica as ‘Pope Leo XIV’.

With Francis’ demise, the long-running FRANCIS WATCH program produced by True Restoration has now also come to an end, although all 48 audio episodes naturally remain available for free listening and downloading at FrancisWatch.org… READ MORE

Then-‘Cardinal’ Robert F. Prevost prays the Rosary for Francis in St. Peter’s Square (Mar. 3, 2025)

Since his election as ‘Pope Leo XIV’, there has naturally been a flood of information published about Robert Francis Prevost, the new occupant of the Vatican’s Apostolic Palace. The man has a formidable resume as an Augustinian priest, later prior of the order, then bishop in Peru, and finally curial cardinal in the Vatican as head of the so-called Dicastery for Bishops — until the conclave chose him to be the head of the Vatican II Church (‘Pope’) on May 8, 2025.… READ MORE

(TRADCAST EXPRESS 209)

Our latest podcast episode, TRADCAST EXPRESS 209, has been published. It concerns the dangerous wave of excitement over ‘Pope Leo XIV’ (Robert F. Prevost) that has been seen in the last ten days among recognize-and-resist traditionalists.

In this podcast episode we take a look in particular at one of Leo’s greatest cheerleaders currently, professional YouTube influencer Dr. Taylor Marshall of Infiltration fame. Although lambasting Prevost on May 5 as the worst possible candidate the conclave could choose, by May 9 — one day after Prevost’s election — Marshall was touting him as the right man for the job. … READ MORE
