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

Some extra Lenten penance, anyone?

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

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


(image credit: nachrichten.at – we have censored the image somewhat)

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

Another Scandalous Fernández Book Unearthed:
DDF Prefect Published Blasphemous Porn in 1998

There are news stories so sordid that no decent person wants to cover them. Then there are news stories so significant that there’s no way one can ignore them.

This current one is a mix of both, so please be forewarned:

The remainder of the post, including any links, may include explicit words or ideas that pertain to human sexuality and/or involve blasphemy.

In 1998, then-‘Fr.’ Victor Manuel Fernandez, today the prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, published a book on spirituality and erotic love that is so sexually explicit/pornographic that it makes his 1995 book Heal Me With Your Mouth look like a chastity manual by comparison.… READ MORE

UTTER CHAOS: Surveying the Landscape After ‘Fiducia Supplicans’

UTTER CHAOS:
Surveying the Landscape after ‘Fiducia Supplicans’

When in 2016 ‘Pope’ Francis released the so-called Apostolic Exhortation Amoris Laetitia, great confusion and drawn-out debates over its interpretation followed. Did the document really permit people who live in open adultery to receive Holy Communion without repentance? Yes, it did, but not everyone was willing to accept that that was indeed what the ‘Pope’ was saying. We chronicled the civil war in Novus Ordo Land over this document here:

A similar thing happened in 2018, when Francis decided that the death penalty, clearly approved by God in both the Old and New Testaments as well as Sacred Tradition and the perennial magisterial teaching of the Church, was now “inadmissible” and “contrary to the Gospel”, and revised the so-called Catechism of the Catholic Church accordingly:

What just happened this past Monday with regard to the blessing of couples ‘in irregular situations’, especially sodomites, however, will make the Amoris Laetitia and capital punishment battles look like child’s play by comparison.… READ MORE

Vatican Allows Blessings of ‘Irregular’ Couples: An Initial Commentary and Analysis (PODCAST)

Vatican Allows Blessings of ‘Irregular’ Couples:
An Initial Commentary and Analysis

The Dicastery for the Destruction of the Faith’s declaration Fiducia Supplicans, officially approved by ‘Pope’ Francis and published on Dec. 18, 2023, has hit the Novus Ordo Church like a nuclear bomb:

At the moment, ‘Catholic’ experts (and wannabe experts) are busy discussing what the document means, but not only that. As usual, there is disagreement even on what the document says. No one causes chaos like Chaos Frank — and just before Christmas, to boot!

Although we are still working on a substantial analysis of Fiducia Supplicans for our readers, for the moment we can at least present a brief and somewhat cursory commentary as we try to juggle all of the following at the same time: (a) stay on top of the latest developments; (b) collect and parse the major reactions that have been flooding in; (c) analyze the content of the document; (d) compile an intelligent, documented commentary on it.… READ MORE

New document Fiducia Supplicans released…

‘Pope’ Francis Green-Lights Blessings of Sodomite Couples

The so-called Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith (DDF) released a document today that essentially allows Novus Ordo priests to bless sinful unions. In particular, it permits the blessing not simply of sodomitic individuals but precisely of couples. Of course the same goes for heterosexual couples who are in an adulterous union or otherwise ‘irregular situation’.

Entitled Fiducia Supplicans, the document has been published by the Vatican press office in Italian, French, English, German, and Spanish:

Italy: Little Girl distributes
Communion at Novus Ordo Mass!

The latest liturgical innovation comes to us from the diocese of Bergamo, Italy: At the parish church of St. Vitus in Ossanesga, a young girl helped to distribute the Novus Ordo version of Holy Communion this past Sunday, Oct. 22, 2023. Take a look:

The image is a still shot taken from a 21-second video originally published by GloriaTV, and which comes to us via the reliable Italian Messa in Latino blog, where we read: “Two altar girls, even of apparently pre-First Communion age, are seen – during Holy Mass – distributing communion to the faithful next to Fr.… READ MORE

Did Francis approve Blessings for Homo Couples? Examining his Response to the Pre-Synod Dubia

October 2 of this year was D-Day — ‘Dubia Day’: The Vatican’s Dicastery for the Destruction of the Faith, now headed by ‘Cardinal’ Victor Manuel Fernandez, released official and authoritative responses (personally signed by Jorge Bergoglio, aka ‘Pope Francis’) to two sets of Dubia that had been submitted in July: one set of ten questions by ‘Cardinal’ Dominik Duka, and one set of five questions by ‘Cardinals’ Raymond Burke, Juan Sandoval Íñiguez, Walter Brandmüller, Robert Sarah, and Joseph Zen.

As was to be expected, the Vatican responses were loaded with fireworks.… READ MORE

Vatican again permits Oriental Orthodox Mass
in historic Catholic Basilica in Rome

[Please note: An earlier version of this blog used the label “Eastern Orthodox” rather than “Oriental Orthodox”. Apparently there is a significant difference between the two; however, since both are heretical and schismatical sects, the difference is irrelevant to the point of this post.]

Under the apostate Jesuit Jorge Bergoglio (‘Pope Francis’), it is apparently becoming a common practice now to allow heretics and schismatics to use ancient Catholic basilicas in Rome for their Masses and other liturgical services.… READ MORE

Brazilian ‘Archbishop’ justifies giving ‘Communion’ to Muslim Sheik

In the Vatican II religion, Mr. Geremias Steinmetz (b. 1965) is the ‘Catholic Archbishop’ of Londrina, Brazil. Jorge Bergoglio, aka ‘Pope Francis’, personally appointed him to that position in 2017.

With the recent death of 89-year-old ‘Cardinal’ Geraldo Majella Agnelo (Aug. 26, 2023), formerly the ‘Archbishop’ of São Salvador da Bahia, Steinmetz found himself participating in a funeral ‘Mass’ presided over by ‘Cardinal’ Sérgio da Rocha on Monday, Aug. 28. (A few years back da Rocha presided over a special ‘Mass’ with a drag queen, but that’s another story.)… READ MORE
