The Pope will be Victim, Not Persecutor…

The Persecution and ‘Death’ of the Church:
The Testimony of Scripture and Tradition

pius12-vs-antichrist.jpg

Researched and Explained by
Cardinal Henry Edward Manning (1808-1892)

This is a slightly revised version of an article posted on this web site in 2015.

As we all suffer through these most distressing times in which confusion and chaos reign among all who seek to be genuine Catholics, members of the only true religion established by God, it is helpful and important to reflect on the fact that the situation we find ourselves in today — no (known) valid Pope since 1958, and no apparent Catholic bishop left with ordinary jurisdiction, while a counterfeit institution masquerades as the Catholic Church, spreading heresy, immorality, and impiety — was foretold in Holy Scripture and Sacred Tradition.… READ MORE

‘Herald the Dance of Balance and Harmony’: Francis Signs Crazy Interreligious Climate Action Statement

Years ago, German journalist Alexander Kissler publicly referred to ‘Pope’ Francis (Jorge Bergoglio) as a “U.N. Secretary General with a pectoral cross” (source). He wasn’t wrong, of course, but we suspect even the U.N. Secretary General would choose a better-looking cross than the one Francis wears.

One may extend Kissler’s metaphor and say that at this point, the Vatican II Church is basically the United Nations at prayer. Indeed, the Jesuit squatter at the Vatican guest house has just confirmed it once more as he signed a new interfaith statement on climate change for the 28th United Nations Climate Change Conference, known as ‘COP28’, which is currently underway in Expo City in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, until Dec.… READ MORE

Vatican Joint Statement with Buddhists:
‘We see the Buddha and Jesus as Great Healers’

The seventh so-called Buddhist-Christian Colloquium just concluded in Bangkok, Thailand, on Nov. 16, 2023.

The conference had been organized by the Vatican’s Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue, “together with the Mahachulalongkornrajavidyalaya University, Mahamakut Buddhist University, Chinese Buddhist Order of Sangha in Thailand, Wat Phra Chetuphon, the Sirivadhanabhakdi Foundation, and the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Thailand”, according to a final statement released the same day, which was published also by the ‘Holy See’ press office:

Idolatry, the Poor, and the God of Surprises: A Critical Look at Francis’ Sermon Ending the Synod 2023

The 2023 edition of the Synod on Synodality is over, and ‘Pope’ Francis did not fail to give an ideology-laden sermon for the closing ‘Mass’ in St. Peter’s Basilica last Sunday:

The theme of the sermon, based on the day’s Gospel (Mt 22:34-40), was the love of God and neighbor. It is one of Bergoglio’s favorite topics because it is so easy to manipulate and hijack in favor of his apostate agenda.… READ MORE

Francis Blasts Those Who ‘Talk About Their Vision of Humanity but Never About Jesus’

Jorge Bergoglio’s sense of humor was on display this past Wednesday, Oct. 18, 2023.

As part of his weekly audience ‘catechesis’, which is ironically on “passion for evangelization” and “apostolic zeal” currently, the man whose professional stage name is ‘Pope Francis’ kept a straight face when he warned:

…we risk talking about ourselves, the group to which we belong, a morality or, even worse, a set of rules, but not about Jesus, his love, his mercy. I see this in some new movements that are emerging: they talk about their vision of humanity, they talk about their spirituality and they feel theirs is a new path… But why do you not talk about Jesus?

Francis endorses Teilhard de Chardin’s ‘Mass on the World’

His true god was evolution: the French Fr. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, S.J.

On his recent blather tour in Mongolia (Aug. 31 – Sep. 4, 2023), the Argentinian apostate Jorge Bergoglio (‘Pope Francis’) offered some impromptu remarks after presiding over the Novus Ordo worship service (incorrectly termed ‘Holy Mass’) in the capital of Ulaanbaatar on Sep. 3. He took the opportunity to speak favorably of the notorious French Jesuit Fr. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (1881-1955) and his infamous ‘Mass on the World’, written in 1923:

The Mass is itself a way of giving thanks: “Eucharistía”.

Imagine No Hell: Francis blatantly twists Sunday Gospel Reading that warns about Eternal Damnation

Although suffering from breathing difficulties since his last surgery, this past Sunday the apostate Jorge Bergoglio from Buenos Aires — whose moniker ‘Pope Francis’ has gained him untold de facto power over souls these last ten years — managed to use whatever oxygen he could to completely strip the supernatural from the day’s Gospel reading.

In his catechetical remarks at the Angelus, he distorted the sacred text in order to neutralize Our Lord’s salutary doctrine about hell, replacing it with a generic ‘give meaning to your life’ message that has the spiritual value of a Hallmark card and is guaranteed to offend nobody.… READ MORE

Vatican’s Human Fraternity Extravaganza ‘Not Alone’ Flops as No One Shows Up

Getting a front-row seat wasn’t terribly difficult…

Imagine it’s the first-ever World Meeting on Human Fraternity and nobody cares.

That is exactly what happened on Saturday, June 10, in Rome. Under the ironic motto #NotAlone, the event’s organizers and contributors found themselves very much alone as they put on a nearly 5-hour long spectacle in St. Peter’s Square that almost nobody cared to attend.

#NotAlone was Quite Alone

According to the Silere Non Possum blog, “Those few people present were tourists, who didn’t stay, and friends of the Franciscan cardinal”, by whom they mean Mauro Gambetti, who is the ‘Archpriest’ of St.… 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.

‘Catholic’ Climate Movement Activist: Christ didn’t come to Redeem us but to Create Heaven on Earth

There is nothing wrong with a reasonable environmentalism. God has given us only one planet, and we must make an effort to ensure it will still be inhabitable and fruitful for the coming generations.

Some people, however, have made a veritable religion out of environmentalism, in which the creature is worshipped rather than the Creator (cf. Rom 1:25); and others still have replaced the true Gospel of our Blessed Lord and Savior Jesus Christ with a false gospel of their own, in which our Lord is not the Redeemer who came to save us from sin and show us the way to Heaven but instead came to help us create heaven on earth.… READ MORE

Bergoglio and that pesky dogma of hell…

Hell is an Attitude? ‘Pope’ Francis shows he does not believe in Eternal Damnation for the Wicked

Not surprisingly, the Argentinian apostate Jorge Bergoglio (“Pope Francis”) doesn’t talk much about hell. When he does, it’s usually to deny its existence, or to deny that anyone is in it; or to downplay it in other ways, or simply to joke about it.

Bergoglio’s latest remarks on hell come from one of the half-dozen interviews released in just the last week or so, on the occasion of his 10-year anniversary as ‘Pope’. … 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

Pure Modernism: Jesuit Presbyter says the Church came from Disciples’ Experience of Jesus Christ

We know that Modernism is lurking everywhere in our day, but rarely is it found so boldly and explicitly stated as in a recent article by the Rev. Jim McDermott, S.J.

Entitled “What the Catholic Church can learn from the resurrection of Barnes & Noble”, McDermott’s monograph appeared in America, which was once a solid Catholic review but at this point is nothing but a Modernist rag, in keeping with the trajectory of the Jesuits as a whole.

But first, a quick heads-up: “Fr.”… READ MORE
