‘Church Meets Soccer’ in diocese of Münster…

Public Screening of Live Soccer Match in German Church

The European Soccer Championship, which is held once every four years, is a big deal for Germans. It is an even bigger deal in 2024, for this time around — from June 14 through July 14 — the Land of Luther is itself the host nation for the popular European tournament.

Since watching sports in the company of others is a lot more fun than doing so all by oneself, one ‘Catholic’ church in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia had a brilliant idea, perhaps in the spirit of promoting a ‘culture of encounter’: getting people together to watch the quarter final on July 5, in which Germany takes on Spain.… READ MORE

Revolting Blasphemy: Austrian Cathedral Exhibits Immodest Statue of Virgin Mary Giving Natural Birth in Agony

A cropped image of the disgusting and gravely immodest ‘artwork’,
which shows the Blessed Virgin suffering through labor

In a side chapel of St. Mary’s Cathedral in the diocese of Linz, Austria, a revolting sculpture with the title Crowning depicting what is supposed to be the Blessed Virgin Mary giving birth to Jesus Christ on a rock, was installed on June 27, 2024.

This abominable ‘artwork’, which is not only blasphemous but also heretical (more on that later), has been promoted on the diocesan web site in a feature article.… READ MORE

Hell in Church:
‘Holy Hydra’ Events Profane the Sacred in Austria

We have had countless posts exposing all kinds of blasphemy, desecration, profanation, and sacrilege in Catholic churches over the last few decades, but the event known as Holy Hydra is deserving of yet another such post.

It was in 2018 that the ‘Hydra Culture Club’ of Linz, Austria, began performing in churches once a year. The latest such event took place on June 14, 2024, in the ‘Catholic’ Church of the Risen Christ in the small town of Gmunden, part of the diocese of Linz.… READ MORE

Undignified: Novus Ordo Chapel Sign Depicts Precious Blood of Jesus as Blood Spatter

Image source: Facebook (fair use)

On Wednesday, May 29, 2024, the Novus Ordo parish of St. Michael the Archangel in Miescisko, Poland (diocese of Gniezno), held a dedication ceremony for its chapel of the Precious Blood. It was presided over by the local ordinary, ‘Archbishop’ Wojciech Polak, who is also the Primate of Poland.

A 12-minute video with highlights of the ceremony is available on YouTube.

The title image shows the entrance to the chapel. The red ink blotches that look like blood spatter are apparently supposed to depict the Most Precious Blood spilled by Our Savior.… READ MORE

Over a Dozen ‘Prominent Catholics’ Warn Francis:
Resign or Be Deposed!

On May 2, 2024, the feast of Saint Athanasius, the semi-traditionalist blog Rorate Caeli published a ‘major statement’ against Jorge Bergoglio (aka ‘Pope Francis’). It is entitled “Call for the Resignation of Pope Francis” and bears the signatures of 16 people Life Site describes as “prominent Catholics”.

Just how prominent the signatories are, is another question, but it doesn’t really matter. Their names, along with their respective credentials, are listed by Rorate Caeli as follows:

Chicago Novus Ordo Pastor Officiates Lesbian Pseudo-Wedding: Exchange of Vows plus Blessing!

[UPDATE 13-MAY-2024: Vincentians release letter with ‘apology’ of sorts by Rev. Williams]

Video footage has emerged showing a Novus Ordo priest officiating a same-sex ceremony mocking the Holy Sacrament of Matrimony. He is shown presiding over an exchange of vows of two women and then conferring a blessing on them.

This is not a matter of rumor or speculation. The identity of all parties is known, and the presbyter has admitted that the ceremony took place.

Before we continue, here is the video clip shared on Instagram on Apr.… READ MORE

Queer in Trier: ‘Bishop’ Ackermann Presides Over Ecumenical Rainbow Service for Aberrosexuals

In the Vatican II Sect, the Modernist layman Stephan Ackermann has been playing ‘Catholic bishop’ of Trier, Germany, since 2009. It was then that ‘Pope’ Benedict XVI appointed him to succeed ‘Bishop’ (now ‘Cardinal’) Reinhard Marx, who had been promoted to become ‘Archbishop’ of Munich and Freising.

Every year the Tier diocese celebrates the so-called Heilig-Rock-Tage. It is a 10-day church festival centered on the relic of the Holy Tunic (Heiliger Rock) of Jesus Christ. This year, the festival took place from Apr.… READ MORE

The 60th edition of the international art exhibition known as the Venice Biennale is currently underway in the eponymous city in northeastern Italy. It was kicked off this past Saturday, Apr. 20, and will last until Nov. 24 of this year.

According to Wikipedia,

The festival has become a constellation of shows: a central exhibition curated by that year’s artistic director, national pavilions hosted by individual nations, and independent exhibitions throughout Venice.

Mortification for the Eyes:
The ‘Jubilee Church’ in Rome

(image: Wikimedia Commons [Simona poncia] / License: CC BY-SA 4.0 DEED)

If you can’t identify the object in the photo above as a Roman Catholic Church, that’s because it isn’t one. Rather, it’s a worship center by and for the Vatican II Church, a Modernist sect which illegitimately calls itself the Roman Catholic Church and has occupied many Catholic structures for roughly six decades now.

The official name of this hideous ‘Catholic’ edifice is Chiesa di Dio Padre Misericordioso (“Church of God the Merciful Father”), although it is also known as the ‘Jubilee Church’.… READ MORE

Nightmare in Concrete:
The ‘Queen of Peace’ Pilgrimage Church of Neviges

(image: Shutterstock/Lato Pictures)

In a contest for most hideous Novus Ordo church in the world, the Mariendom in the German town of Neviges would no doubt be a formidable contender.

Officially known as Mary Queen of Peace Pilgrimage Church, this monstrosity is a prime example of the architectural style appropriately called ‘brutalism’. Construction of the edifice began in 1966; it was solemnly dedicated on May 22, 1968.

Neviges is a district of Velbert, which is part of the archdiocese of Cologne. The town has been a site of pilgrimage in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary since the 17th century.… READ MORE

German Novus Ordo Priest Attends Induction Ceremony of Sodomite Group Mocking Catholic Nuns

The Rev. Wolfgang F. Rothe (b. 1967) is a German Novus Ordo priest who holds a doctorate in canon law from the Opus Dei-affiliated Pontifical University of the Holy Cross in Rome. In 2013, he obtained a doctorate in theology from the University of Munich.

After completing his doctorate in canon law — his supervisor was the now-famous Georg Gänswein — Rothe became the secretary of ‘Bp.’ Kurt Krenn (1936-2014) in the diocese of St. Pölten, Austria, in 2002. The following year he was appointed vice-rector of the diocesan seminary there.… READ MORE

Chicken Dance for Communion!
Insane Carnival’s ‘Mass’ in German Novus Ordo Parish

Here’s something new for your ever-increasing “You can’t make this stuff up!” folder of Novus Ordo absurdities.

Not only was it one of those infamous ‘carnival masses’ that are routinely carried out in parts of Germany and Austria during this time of the year, it even included a ridiculous Chicken Dance performance the entire congregation was encouraged to participate in — during ‘Communion’ time, no less!

The following 30-second video clip has been on Facebook for a few days now, but we didn’t want to share it until we were able to confirm that this took place indeed at a Novus Ordo church in full communion with ‘Pope’ Francis and his Vatican II Sect (and not at an Anglican, ‘Old Catholic’, or Protestant service, for example).… READ MORE

Costumes, Booze, and Messy Pranks:
Ecumenical Fools’ Mass in Switzerland

It is the time for carnival again, at least in some parts of the world, and no one does carnival quite like the Vatican II Church.

In German-speaking countries, for example, people can find so-called ‘Carnival Masses’ (or ‘Fools’ Masses’) in churches affiliated with the pseudo-Catholic sect during the days preceding Ash Wednesday.

We have reported on such evils many times in the past, but this year there has been one deserving of an especially dishonorable mention: The abomination that just took place in the Church of Saints Peter and Paul in Willisau, Switzerland, on Sunday, Feb.… READ MORE

Francis Permits Invalid Anglican Eucharist in Roman Basilica


Anglican layman Justin Welby raises bread at the ‘Eucharist’ in St. Bartholomew’s on Jan. 25, 2024

Last year, on Apr. 18, 2023, a big fuss ensued over Anglican bishop Jonathan Baker offering a ‘Eucharistic celebration’ at the papal cathedral of Saint John Lateran in Rome. And rightly so, for not only is the Anglican religion (Church of England, known in the United States as the Episcopal Church) heretical and schismatic, but its clergy do not even have valid ordinations.

The nullity (invalidity) of Anglican orders was declared by Pope Leo XIII in his 1896 bull Apostolicae Curae.… READ MORE

Austrian Novus Ordo Parish Shows Live-Streamed Nude ‘Powder Dance’ in Church Sanctuary

Bad Ischl is a small town in Upper Austria. For 2024, it has been designated as one of Europe’s so-called ‘Capitals of Culture’. In that capacity, special cultural and artistic events will be taking place there all year. Its grand opening occurred this past Saturday, Jan. 20, 2024.

Bad Ischl’s ‘Catholic’ church is that of St. Nikolaus, whose pastor is one ‘Fr.’ Christian Öhler (b. 1958). Part of the diocese of Linz, the chief Novus Ordo shepherd keeping watch over it all is ‘Bp.’READ MORE
