‘Go See It’: Conservative Novus Ordo Bishop Recommends Lewd and Profanity-Filled Gory Horror Movie

In a post on X/Twitter yesterday, the Vatican II Church’s ‘media bishop’ Robert Barron gave a ringing endorsement to the gruesome horror flick Obsession that is currently running in theaters across the United States.

The motion picture has officially been given an “R” (“Restricted”) rating by the secular authority (MPAA), meaning anyone under 17 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or adult guardian to be allowed to see it in a movie theater. The reason given for the rating is “strong bloody violence, grisly images, sexual content, pervasive language, and brief graphic nudity.”… READ MORE

Do you believe in magic? Sebastian Morello does, and he’s written a book to initiate you into the Hermetic mysteries he holds dear! He’ll guide you into luminous vistas of esoteria long overlooked by modern Catholics, but so vitally needed to help bring an end to the hex of an evil warlock, who’s brought about the crisis in the Church.… READ MORE

Wizards and Witches Welcome:
Harry Potter-Themed Ecumenical Service Draws Hundreds

On the evening of Feb. 28, 2026, the Herz-Jesu-Kirche (Heart of Jesus Church) in Herne, Germany, part of the archdiocese of Paderborn, was the scene of an ecumenical service of a different kind.

Whereas an ecumenical pseudo-liturgy in which ‘Catholics’ (Novus Ordos) and Protestants worship together would be bad enough, this one added another layer of evil: It was Harry Potter-themed.

For those who are unfamiliar, Harry Potter is an immensely popular series of ‘fantasy’ books written by J.K.… READ MORE

Demonic Art Exhibit at Catholic Church Causes Outrage, Diocese Blindsided

Demonic Art Exhibit at Catholic Church Causes Outrage, Diocese Blindsided

On June 30, 2024, the French traditionalist web site Riposte Catholique reported on a scandalous exhibition taking place inside Notre-Dame d’Epinay Church in Saint-Aubin-Épinay, France. The church is part of the parish family of Sainte Marie Madeleine de Darnétal Val d’Aubette and part of the archdiocese of Rouen.

Some research into the matter discloses that the exhibit was organized not by the parish or the diocese but by the city. The parish administrator was apparently not aware of what was going to be on display until after the thing had already opened.… READ MORE

A Week Late, Vatican Releases Milquetoast Statement on Olympics Blasphemy

A Week Late, Vatican Releases Milquetoast Statement on Olympics Blasphemy

A week after the shameful, abominable, and deliberately blasphemous performance mocking the Last Supper as part of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Paris on July 26, 2024, the Vatican has finally also weighed in by releasing a press statement of sorts.

A statement ‘of sorts’ is really all one can call it, for the text released does not even try to be anything so serious as a condemnation. The following three sentences is all the Vatican Press Office had to offer:

The Holy See was saddened by certain scenes during the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games and can only join the voices that have been raised in recent days to deplore the offence caused to many Christians and believers of other religions.

By now, everyone has heard about the incredibly vile and utterly Satanic mockery of the Last Supper that took place on July 26, 2024, as part of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games currently underway in Paris, France.

It was surely no accident that about 24 hours later, Paris suffered an electric blackout which only left the Basilica of the Sacred Heart (Sacré-Cœur) illuminated.

A number of Novus Ordo prelates and personalities quickly weighed in on the matter, although in different ways.… READ MORE

Francis receives Andres Serrano, whose ‘Art’ includes Crucifix submerged in Urine

Ladies and gentlemen, this is a difficult post to write and read because the matter is so serious. It is difficult to keep one’s composure as we must report on some extremely disgusting and abominable facts.

On June 23, 2023, ‘Pope’ Francis (Jorge Bergoglio) welcomed 200 artists to the Vatican’s Sistine Chapel for a special audience. Not surprisingly, he blathered a number of inanities at them — he spoke of “eyes that dream” and “the human dimension of humanity”, for example — but that’s not the big story this time.… READ MORE

The Strange Crucifix of Rio de Janeiro:
What did Francis really kiss?

When ‘Pope’ Francis (Jorge Bergoglio) embarked on his very first trip outside of Italy, the destination was Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The occasion was World Youth Day (July 22-29, 2013).

In case you don’t recall anything about it, here are some aids to jog your memory: It was there, at the “Pope-acabana”, that Francis unleashed his order: ¡Hagan lío! (“Make a mess!”). It was there that Novus Ordo bishops danced a “flash mob for the Pope”. It was there that ‘Holy Communion’ was distributed from disposable plastic cups.… READ MORE

This past March 13, 2023, marked the 10-year anniversary of Jorge Bergoglio’s ongoing ‘Pope Francis’ act. As we had announced a few days before, a special live edition of the Catholic Family Podcast was aired on YouTube for the occasion.

Host Kevin Davis and co-host Mario Derksen (yours truly) of Novus Ordo Watch spent 2 hours and 50 minutes discussing the disastrous past ten years with special guests Steven Speray, Louie Verrecchio, and the editor of the anonymous Introibo ad Altare Dei blog. … READ MORE

Francis blasphemes again, says Holy Spirit created a ‘Mess’ at Pentecost

[UPDATE 18-OCT-2022: Replaced computerized translation with official Vatican translation now available.]

Jorge Bergoglio, the Argentinian apostate pretending to be the head of the Catholic Church under his stage name “Pope Francis”, thinks nothing of blasphemy. He has demonstrated this a few times in his nearly 10-year “pontificate”:

The most recent case of Bergoglian blasphemy was this past Friday, Oct.… READ MORE

The Francis Show in Kazakhstan:
Bergoglio’s ‘Apostolic Journey’ of Sep. 13-15, 2022

On Tuesday, Sep. 13, 2022, the Jesuit apostate Jorge Bergoglio (“Pope Francis”) will visit the nation of Kazakhstan, specifically its capital of Nur-Sultan, which until 2019 was known as Astana. Kazakhstan lies in Central Asia and is a former Soviet republic. It is the ninth largest country in the world.

The main reason for Francis’ trip, which concludes on Thursday, Sep. 15, is attendance at the seventh triennial Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions. The topic for this year’s meeting is: “The Role of Leaders of World and Traditional Faiths in the Socio-Spiritual Development of Humanity after the Pandemic”.… READ MORE

Official Logo for Francis’ Trip to Canada released

Today the Vatican officially confirmed that Jorge Bergoglio (“Pope Francis”) will go on another blather tour “Apostolic Journey” to Canada from July 24-30, 2022. There he will visit Edmonton, Maskwacis, Lac Ste. Anne, Québec, and Iqaluit. The full program has been published here.

Chief purpose of the trip is to offer some more apologies to natives, who had visited the false pope in the Vatican earlier this year, after having discovered alleged mass graves near Catholic educational institutions, which the indigenous assume are testimony to ghastly deeds committed by Catholics against their prior generations many decades ago.… READ MORE

Mr. Kassym-Jomart Tokayev is the president of the Republic of Kazakhstan, a nation in Central Asia which until 1991 was part of the Communist Soviet Union and is predominantly Muslim.

On Apr. 11, 2022, President Tokayev held a video conference with the Argentinian apostate Jorge Bergoglio, who is better known to the world by his stage name, “Pope Francis”. Both the Kazakh press and Vatican News report that during the meeting Francis expressed his desire to visit the nation’s capital of Nur-Sultan (until 2019 known as Astana) to attend the seventh triennial Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions, planned for Sep.… READ MORE

“Little Amal” is the name given to an enormous puppet that is currently traveling through Europe. Its journey began on July 27 in Gaziantep, southern Turkey (near Syria), and its final stop will be Manchester, England, for a total of 8,000 km (4,971 miles).

Amal — the name is Arabic for “hope” — is supposed to represent a nine-year-old refugee girl in search of her mother. The puppet is meant to stand for the alleged masses of displaced minors fleeing from wars and persecution.… READ MORE
