The Church’s Mystical Passion: What It Is (and Isn’t)

More and more people are adopting the idea that the profound changes to the Roman Catholic religion that have occurred since roughly the time of the Second Vatican Council (1962-65) can only be explained by positing that the Catholic Church has been sharing mystically in the Passion of her Divine Founder.

The Church being the Mystical Body of Christ, it is rather fitting that she should resemble her Invisible Head in all things, not excluding a period of intense suffering, persecution, and (at least apparent) ‘death’ before He returns to judge the living and the dead.… READ MORE

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

Vatican II condemned in advance!

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

Conservative Novus Ordo Bishop Warns of ‘Tradwives’ Trend!

Conservative Novus Ordo Bishop Warns of ‘Tradwives’ Trend!

The Most Rev. Stefan Oster (b. 1965) is the counterfeit ‘Roman Catholic bishop’ of the diocese of Passau, Germany. A perpetually-professed Salesian since 1999, he was appointed to his current role by the false ‘Pope’ Francis in 2014. Oster is considered ‘conservative’ by comparison with his mostly über-Modernist colleagues; and although that is surely accurate, it doesn’t say a whole lot, as we will now see.

In an elaborate statement published by him on Feb. 26, 2026 on his personal blog and also released as a video, Bishop Oster warns against the (clearly politically-incorrect) surge in young women who present themselves online as happy and fulfilled ‘tradwives’, or as aspiring to become such.… READ MORE

Vatican II Revisited: Louie Verrecchio Dismantles the Conciliar Documents

Former Novus Ordo apologist takes council to task…

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

Bergoglio’s Marriage Annulment Rules Ten Years Later: ‘Operation Warp Speed’ Novus Ordo Style

Fast, free family wrecking!

Bergoglio’s Marriage Annulment Rules Ten Years Later:
Operation Warp Speed Novus Ordo Style

by Francis del Sarto

On May 15, 2020, the United States government launched Operation Warp Speed. Its goal? To manufacture and distribute an injection that would purportedly immunize citizens from the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

Operation Warp Speed is a fitting name for the accelerated procedure to obtain marriage annulments introduced by the Vatican II Church ten years ago by Argentinian apostate Jorge Mario Bergoglio (aka “Pope Francis”).

Not that the “annulment” process needed a push, mind you. In 1968 there were only 338 declarations of nullity issued in the entire United States.… READ MORE

Our latest podcast episode, TRADCAST EXPRESS 219, has been published. Its main topic is the dethronement of Christ the King by the Vatican II Church, but the 23-minute program also includes discussion of other topics:

  • As expected, the Vatican fails to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the encyclical Quas Primas of Pope Pius XI, which is a thorn in the side of the Neo-Modernists
  • The Social Kingship of Christ explained and contrasted with the Vatican II Church’s idea of Christ the King
  • Vatican celebrates 60 years of ecumenical dialogue with Methodists
  • What did Leo XIV just say?

How the Vatican Celebrates 100 Years Since Pope Pius XI’s Encyclical Quas Primas on Christ the King

Today marks the 100th anniversary of the Encyclical Quas Primas, issued by Pope Pius XI (r. 1922-1939) on Dec. 11, 1925. This magisterial document establishes the annual liturgical feast of Christ the King, to be celebrated on the last Sunday in October, and it sets forth the doctrine regarding Our Lord’s reign over every aspect of our lives and the duty of all individuals, families, societies, and nations to acknowledge Him as King and subject themselves to the sweet yoke of His Law.… READ MORE

No Unity, No Faith:
Leo XIV Introduces His Ecumenical Super-Church

In our prior post on ‘Pope’ Leo XIV’s newly-released ‘apostolic letter’ on the 1700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea, In Unitate Fidei, we provided a critical examination of much of its content:

In the last article of this pseudo-magisterial document, n. 12, the false pope speaks of the “ecumenical value” of Nicea. It is this we will now take a closer look at:

Finally, the Council of Nicaea is relevant today because of its great ecumenical value.

No Unity of Faith: Leo XIV Releases ‘Apostolic Letter’ Filled with Ecumenical Bilge and Other Errors

This past Sunday, Nov. 23, 2025, on the occasion of the Novus Ordo feast of ‘Jesus Christ, King of the Universe’, the current false pope in Rome, Bob Prevost from Chicago (‘His Holiness Leo XIV’), released a new ‘apostolic letter’ regarding the 1700th anniversary of the First Council of Nicea, in which the Catholic dogma of the Most Holy Trinity was defined:

Ironically entitled In Unitate Fidei (“In the Unity of Faith”), it claims the Council of Nicaea of 325 as the joint heritage of all ‘Christians’, by whom he means all the baptized who believe in the Trinity, regardless of what their religious affiliation is (Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox, etc.).… READ MORE

Sixty Years of Vatican II:
Church and Synagogue After Nostra Aetate

On Oct. 28, 2025, the Novus Ordo Sect celebrated the 60th anniversary of its apostatical document Nostra Aetate, issued by ‘Pope’ (and now, naturally, even ‘Saint’) Paul VI as part of the so-called Second Vatican Council (1962-1965). The document styles itself a “Declaration on the Relation of the Church to Non-Christian Religions”. We already critiqued some of its contents a few days ago:

For over 1,900 years the Roman Catholic Church had spoken of other religions quite simply as false, pernicious, and diabolical instruments of damnation.… READ MORE

These days the Novus Ordo Sect is celebrating 60 years of the Second Vatican Council‘s declaration Nostra Aetate on the Church’s relationship to non-Christian religions. It was solemnly promulgated by the false pope Paul VI on Oct. 28, 1965, with these words:

Each and all these items which are set forth in this Declaration have met with the approval of the Council Fathers.

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

Leo XIV Backs 1986 Assisi Prayer Meeting, Abu Dhabi Declaration in Message to Interreligious Conference

Currently the head of the post-Catholic Vatican: Rev. Robert Prevost

In case anyone was still wondering what to think of Robert Francis Prevost, better known by his stage name ‘Pope Leo XIV’, today he made it absolutely clear that he fully endorses and seeks to advance the same apostate agenda that was launched with the Vatican II declaration Nostra Aetate, was boosted with ‘Pope’ John Paul II‘s 1986 interreligious prayer meeting in Assisi (which spawned a whole series of such frightful events), and that was kicked into high gear with ‘Pope’ Francis’ 2019 Abu Dhabi declaration on human fraternity.… READ MORE

Vatican II Ecclesiology Refuted Before Vatican II

A battle of doctrine: Pope Pius XII (left) vs. Antipope Paul VI (right)

Part of the core mission of Novus Ordo Watch is to demonstrate how the teachings, laws, and worship of the modern ‘Catholic Church’ reflect a faith that is essentially different from, and therefore wholly incompatible with, the Roman Catholic Faith as it was known until the death of Pope Pius XII in 1958.

One of the most glaring deviations from the prior doctrine is visible in the theology of the Church (ecclesiology), that is, in the Catholic Church’s understanding of her own nature, function, and necessity.… READ MORE

Vatican II Star Theologian Boasted of Having Urinated on Holy Office Building – Not Once But Twice!

On Sep. 26, 2012, former-Jesuit-turned-journalist Robert Blair Kaiser (1931-2015) published a blog post in which he related a colorful story concerning the French Dominican Fr. Yves Congar (1904-1995), one of the Neo-Modernist star theologians at the Second Vatican Council (1962-65) whom ‘Pope’ John Paul II made a ‘cardinal’ in 1994.

Kaiser began: “I often wondered whether the story was true. Did Congar really pee on the wall of the Holy Office? I’d heard the story from one of my theologian friends at the Council, but I’d never been able to confirm it”; and then happily informed the reader: “Yesterday, on the tenth day of my 3-week lecture tour in India, I got the kind of independent second source that makes a story reportable.”… READ MORE
