Behold the Wreckage:
‘Catholic’ College Chapel in Spain Gets Make-Over

If that won’t lift souls to higher things….

The University of Valladolid in Spain has a residential college under the patronage of St. John the Evangelist. Known as the Colegio Mayor San Juan Evangelista, it was established in 1956.

Of course there is also a chapel available, and it is ‘serviced’, shall we say, by the post-Catholic Archdiocese of Valladolid. In other words, it is a Novus Ordo worship space, and that’s exactly how it looks.

On Saturday, Oct. 17, 2026, the local ‘Roman Catholic archbishop’, Luis Javier Argüello García (b.… READ MORE

Remembering ‘Black Sunday’ 1967: The First Invalid Masses in the United States

It’s been 59 years…

Remembering ‘Black Sunday’ 1967:
The First Invalid Masses in the United States

Sunday, October 22, 1967, was the first time that the Vatican II Sect in the United States mandated the use of a New Canon (‘Eucharistic Prayer’) at Mass — a ‘canon’ which included modified words of consecration and was recited entirely in the vernacular.

‘Catholic’ newspapers announced at the time:

Oct. 22 marks another step in liturgical reform, when the new English translation of the Canon of the Mass goes into general use. This comes after a series of liturgical instructions issued this year.

Vatican II Church Permits Protestants and Orthodox to Receive Catholic Communion in Particular Cases

The well-known Protestant prior of the ecumenical Taizé community, Brother Roger Schutz (1915-2005), can be seen here receiving [Novus Ordo] Communion in St. Peter’s Basilica on Oct. 1, 1999. (image: © KNA-Bild) John Paul II knew him well and even wrote a ‘papal’ message to him on Nov. 30, 1999. At John Paul II’s funeral on Apr. 8, 2005, Br. Roger also received Communion, from the hands of then-‘Cardinal’ Joseph Ratzinger (SEE HERE). Contrary to certain rumors, Schutz never converted to Catholicism.… READ MORE

New Vatican Eco-Document Calls Holy Eucharist ‘School of Ecology’

New Vatican Eco-Document Calls Holy Eucharist ‘School of Ecology’

In the Counterfeit ‘Catholic’ Church of Vatican II, the month of September is all about the environment, the planet, ecology — what they affectionately refer to as our ‘common home’.

Certainly, creation is a good thing, a beautiful gift from God: “The heavens shew forth the glory of God, and the firmament declareth the work of his hands” (Ps 18:2). It is only right that we should appreciate and be good stewards of it. But it is likewise true that after God created Adam and Eve, He said to them: “Increase and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the air, and all living creatures that move upon the earth” (Gen 1:28).… READ MORE

Gone to the Dogs: Canadian Novus Ordo Bishop Celebrates Mass with Furry Friend

The video we are featuring in the present post is a live specimen of a ‘Novus Ordo Mass’, also known as the ‘New Mass’, as it was celebrated the evening of Aug. 1, 2026, at St. Joseph’s Church in Tahsis, British Columbia. It was the so-called ‘Saturday Night Vigil Mass’, which uses the liturgy of the Sunday. Attendance at such a ‘Eucharistic celebration’ technically fulfills the Sunday obligation in the Vatican II Church.

The unusual thing about this particular Novus Ordo Mass was that there was a dog in attendance, making himself comfortable in and around the altar area (traditionally called the ‘sanctuary’).… READ MORE

LEO WATCH with Bishop Donald Sanborn – Episodes 8 and 9

Bp. Sanborn dismantles Prevost’s facade…

LEO WATCH, Episodes 8 and 9

“It is not the Church that attracts, but Christ”

“We are one! We already are! Let us recognize it and…make it visible!”

Since May 8 of last year, the Rev. Robert F. Prevost has been running the Vatican II Church as ‘Pope Leo XIV’.

The sedevacantist podcast program LEO WATCH evaluates Leo’s public actions and teachings from the perspective of traditional Roman Catholicism, that is, that which the entire world knew to be Roman Catholicism until the death of Pope Pius XII in 1958.

LEO WATCH is produced by Roman Catholic Media on a monthly basis.… READ MORE

Diocesan Cathedral in Canada Hosts Ice Hockey Watch Party — With Pizza and Beer!

On Sunday, Apr. 19, 2026, the official ‘Roman Catholic’ Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist (Saint-Jean-l’Évangéliste) in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec, was the public venue for an ice hockey watch party, and not just the run-of-the-mill kind.

The opportunity to follow live the match between the Montreal Canadiens (aka ‘Habs’) and the Tampa Bay Lightning teams was put together as an ‘immersive experience’ by a professional group of artists known as La Cargaison. On their web site, they advertised the event as follows:

Now in English: ‘Catechism of Timely Truths Opposed to Contemporary Errors’ by Bishop de Castro Mayer (1953)

Now in English: Catechism of Timely Truths Opposed to Contemporary Errors by Bp. Antônio de Castro Mayer

On Jan. 3, 1949, Bishop Antonio de Castro Mayer (1904-1991) became the local ordinary of the diocese of Campos, Brazil. He had been appointed coadjutor by Pope Pius XII ten months earlier.

In 1953, His Excellency issued two important documents in his diocese, one entitled ‘Pastoral Letter on the Problems of the Modern Apostolate’, the other ‘Catechism of Timely Truths Opposed to Contemporary Errors’. Although they have been available in Portuguese and French for a long time, it is only now that they are finally available in English, under one cover — including also a set of specific guidelines Bp.… READ MORE

Podcast: Athanasius Schneider, Taylor Marshall, and the Traditional Latin Mass
(TRADCAST EXPRESS 221)

Our latest podcast episode, TRADCAST EXPRESS 221, has been published. Its main topic is the Traditional Latin Mass of the Roman Catholic rite, which has been in the news again recently on account of the Vatican consistory that took place Jan. 7-8, 2026, which was supposed to include discussion on the sacred liturgy.

In this new 26-minute episode, we consider an argument made by Bp. Athanasius Schneider, auxiliary Novus Ordo bishop in Astana, Kazakhstan, and we completely torpedo Dr. Taylor Marshall‘s recent (amusingly insistent) contention that the perpetuity clause of Pope St.… READ MORE

Vatican II Revisited:
Louie Verrecchio Dismantles the Conciliar Documents

This past December 8 marked the 60th anniversary of the closing of the Second Vatican Council (1962-65), that ominous assembly that is the magisterial ground zero for ‘modern Catholicism’ — an attempt to do the impossible and reconcile Catholicism to the secular modern world by means of an aggiornamento (“updating”) of the Catholic religion.

The result was a diabolical counterfeit Catholicism that embraces, in one way or another, many of the errors the Catholic Church sternly condemned until the death of Pope Pius XII in 1958: ecumenism, religious liberty, Sillonism, collegiality, subjectivism, liberalism, Modernism — the list is long and the errors are deadly.… READ MORE

For the Feast of the Epiphany on Jan. 6, 2026, Robert Prevost — the false pope from Chicago who is now known as Leo XIV — showed up with a new pastoral staff, also called a crozier or ferula.

In a blog post reporting on the new ‘papal’ staff, Vatican News quotes an explanation given by the Office for the Liturgical Celebrations of the Supreme Pontiff:

The pastoral staff of Pope Leo XIV “presents Christ no longer bound by the nails of the Passion, but with His glorified body in the act of ascending to the Father.

Leo XIV Holds Extraordinary Consistory:
Semi-Trads Between Hope and Disappointment

In November of last year, it became known that ‘Pope’ Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) was convening an extraordinary consistory of cardinals for Jan. 7 and 8, 2026. The well-founded rumor was confirmed by the Vatican with an official announcement in December.

A consistory is essentially a meeting of the Pope with his cardinals. It is a very traditional convention in the Catholic Church, and one that has been retained by the Novus Ordo Sect (Vatican II Church):

A Consistory, which comes from the Latin “consistere” meaning “stand together,” is a formal meeting of the College of Cardinals.

Merry Christmas, Germany? More like April Fool’s….

Under its new ‘bishop’ Klaus Krämer (b. 1964), the uber-woke diocese of Rottenburg-Stuttgart, Germany, found a way to make Christmas not merely unappealing but downright repulsive: A nationally-televised ‘Christmas Mass’ on Dec. 24, 2025, included what was called a ‘living’ Christmas crib that was so repulsive that even non-religious people were outraged.

The abominable service was led by ‘Fr.’ Thomas Steiger (see photo here) and his female liturgical sidekick, pastoral associate Katharina Leser. The motto for this Christmas ‘Mass’ was: So viel Mensch war nie!… READ MORE

What Has Happened to the Catholic Church?
An Updated Guide for Confused Catholics

Novus Ordo Watch is not receiving any kind of compensation for promoting this book (with the exception of one free copy).

Many people who sincerely desire to be good and loyal Roman Catholics are seriously troubled and confused today. Although the Second Vatican Council occurred more than 60 years ago, it has left a lasting impact. Vatican II, as the council is called for short, took place from 1962-65 and radically changed Catholic liturgy, the sacraments, and essential beliefs that have come down to us from Christ and the Apostles.… READ MORE
