An important reality check…

Are Novus Ordos Rediscovering Belief in the Real Presence, as a Recent Poll Claims? Not So Fast…

Every now and then, a new poll or research study gets published showing that only a certain (low) percentage of people in the United States who identify as Roman Catholics (and even attend Mass the ‘Eucharistic celebration’ frequently) actually believe in the Real Presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist; that is, only so many self-proclaimed Catholics actually adhere to the Church’s dogmatic teaching of Transubstantiation.

For example, in the summer of 2019, the Pew Research Center reported that, based on a scientific survey it had conducted, only one-third of “self-described Catholics” in the U.S.… READ MORE

Francis to Women Prisoners: Christ Forgave Judas!

While Novus Ordo apologists like Jimmy Akin and Steve Kellmeyer try to persuade people that one can ‘hope’ for Judas Iscariot’s salvation, the Argentinian apostate Jorge Bergoglio — otherwise known as ‘Pope Francis’ — has already moved beyond that idea and has now indicated that Judas was in fact forgiven by Jesus Christ.

He made this claim during a mini homily he gave during the ‘Mass of the Lord’s Supper’ (video here) at the Women’s Prison in Rebibbia, Italy. As the Vatican has not yet released an official English translation, we will use DeepL to translate directly from the Italian:

At this moment of the supper, two episodes attract our attention.

German Diocese Officially Allows ‘Eucharistic Sharing’ with Protestants

The diocese of Osnabrück in Germany is currently vacant, even from a Novus Ordo perspective. Its most recent ‘bishop’ was Franz-Josef Bode, who resigned on March 25, 2023, over his handling of abuse cases in the diocese.

To get an idea of what kind of ‘shepherd’ had led the ‘Catholics’ of Osnabrück since 1995, it suffices to know that in 2014, Bode was responsible for an abominable quasi-nude spectacle taking place in the diocesan cathedral, and that he thinks highly of Dr. Stephan Goertz, a lay theologian who is on record suggesting that “a committed, loving homosexual union, which sees itself as a relationship of faith in the God of Israel and Jesus” might actually “possess a sacramental character.”… READ MORE

Again no mention of any condition…

More Heresy from the False Pope:
Every One of Us is Forgiven!

It’s Sunday, and that usually means the world’s most talkative apostate, Jorge Bergoglio (‘Pope Francis’), gives a catechetical reflection on the day’s Gospel before praying the Angelus at noon in Rome with the few hapless souls who have come to see him, mistaking him for the Pope of the Catholic Church.

Today’s Gospel reading, according to the liturgical calendar of the Novus Ordo missal of Paul VI, is Mt 18:21-35, in which our Blessed Lord tells the parable of the unforgiving servant.… READ MORE

Great news, everyone: FRANCIS WATCH is back!

In the first Francis Watch episode in nearly two years (the last one was on Traditionis Custodes, HERE), Bishop Donald Sanborn comments on various shocking comments made by Jorge Bergoglio (‘Pope Francis’) during that time.

For over an hour, host Stephen Heiner of True Restoration presents various official and unofficial statements made by the Argentinian Modernist who falsely claims to be the Pope of the Catholic Church.… READ MORE

Lecture by Fr. Gabriel Lavery, CMRI

Can Catholics resist the Pope because St. Paul resisted St. Peter?

Time and again the recognize-and-resist traditionalists — those who recognize Francis as a true Pope but resist his teachings, laws, and canonizations if they judge them not to be “in line with Tradition” — invoke the incident described in the second chapter of St. Paul’s Letter to the Galatians, in which the Apostle resisted Pope St. Peter “to his face”, as supposed historical precedent and divine approval for “resisting the Pope”.

In a prior blog post, we had already explained, using solid Catholic authorities, why this argument does not hold water.… READ MORE

The History of Christendom:
From the French Revolution to ‘Pope’ Francis (1789-Present)


The Most Rev. Donald J. Sanborn explains the history of the Catholic Church

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

Another day, another heresy…

At Eucharistic Congress, Francis says we must
worship ‘the Lord Present in the Bread’

It just never ends. No matter how much blather he has unloaded in his 9+ years as “Pope Francis” so far, the Argentinian apostate Jorge Bergoglio always has more to offer.

Yesterday, Sep. 24, 2022, the papal pretender caused needless carbon dioxide emissions in Assisi, Italy, when he traveled there to tell the participants in an Economy of Francesco event: “Good living is that mysticism that aboriginal peoples teach us to have in relationship with the earth” (source; our translation).… READ MORE

Arthur Roche suddenly opposes Protestantism…

Oops! Turns out new ‘Cardinal’ who denounced Traditionalists as Protestants participated in Anglican Liturgy in 2017

The Englishman Arthur Roche is “Pope” Francis’ right-hand henchman in the Vatican in charge of regulating the worldwide liturgical chaos that passes for “Catholic worship” in our day. As prefect of the Dicastery for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, he is also quite specifically in charge of implementing Traditionis Custodes, Jorge Bergoglio’s decree revoking Benedict XVI’s Summorum Pontificum.

Considering the high position to which Francis appointed him just last year, it won’t surprise too many people to learn that Roche detests the Traditional Latin Roman Catholic Mass and instead opts for the fabricated Modernist-Protestant liturgy that is the Novus Ordo Missae of “Saint” Paul VI, promulgated in 1969, otherwise known simply as the “New Mass”.… READ MORE

Francis: Catholics and Lutherans are “the Faithful People of God”


Beyond heresy: The Modernist Jorge Bergoglio masquerades as Pope of the Catholic Church

It’s that time of the year again when Jorge Bergoglio (“Pope” Francis) receives a delegation of Finnish Protestants so they can blather about walking on the ecumenical journey together.

Vatican News reports on today’s extremely spiritual encounter here, and the video site Rome Reports has put together the following summary:

This ecumenical “pilgrimage” always takes place in January, around the time of the so-called “Week of Prayer for Christian Unity”, which is an ecumenicized version of the traditional Catholic “Chair of Unity Octave”, which was approved by Pope St.… READ MORE

Francis drops another Heresy Bomb:
“Friendship with Jesus cannot be broken”

Every year on Dec. 3 the United Nations observes an “International Day of Persons with Disabilities”. Not surprisingly, the secularist organization’s garrulous de facto chaplain, Jorge Bergoglio (“Pope Francis”), has released a message for the occasion:

There is nothing wrong, of course, with a Catholic Pope — which is what Bergoglio pretends to be — releasing a message for disabled people. In fact, it is perhaps a particularly opportune time to reach souls.… READ MORE

Hot Air, Half-Truths, and Heresy:
Bergoglio spews Bilge on Justification

At today’s General Audience, Jorge Bergoglio (“Pope Francis”) presented another “catechesis” on St. Paul’s Letter to the Galatians that was nothing short of a theological catastrophe. The special focus of this particular Bergoglian blather session was the doctrine of justification.

In the past, the false pope had already made clear that, with regard to justification, he sides with Martin Luther against the Council of Trent. At an in-flight press conference aboard Airhead One on June 26, 2016, the papal pretender bluntly made known his heretical depravity in the following way: “I think that the intentions of Martin Luther were not mistaken.… READ MORE

Francis at Audience: We must observe the Commandments Not to be Justified but to Aid the Encounter with Christ!

Jorge Bergoglio, alias “Pope Francis”, on Aug. 18, 2021

The walking theological train wreck known as “Pope Francis” (Jorge Bergoglio) has struck again.

This past Wednesday, Aug. 18, 2021, it was time again for the weekly General Audience. In his catechetical address (video here), Francis continued his “explanation” of St. Paul’s Letter to the Galatians, this time on the purpose of the Mosaic Law in preparing God’s people for the grace and freedom of the New Law that is the Gospel.… READ MORE
