Podcast: The Rev. Frank Pavone Defrocking Drama

The news that broke this past Saturday, Dec. 17, regarding the Rev. Frank Pavone having been removed from the [Novus Ordo] priesthood by ‘Pope’ Francis, has developed into a drama that will probably be with us for a while.

Our initial blog post, since revised with countless updates, can be accessed here:

Although one’s gut reaction upon first hearing this news may be to assume that the usual suspects in the Vatican are simply trying to delegitimize an outspoken opponent of abortion, it quickly becomes apparent that there is more to this story than meets the eye at first.… READ MORE

Kosher Frank: ‘Pope’ Francis blows the Jewish Shofar, gives World Jewish Congress an Office in Vatican City

A shofar is the horn of an animal, usually a ram, that is used as a wind instrument. It has its origins in the Old Testament, going back as far as the book of Exodus: “When the trumpet shall begin to sound, then let them go up into the mount” (Ex 19:13b).

The shofar is used for religious purposes only. In our day, sounding the shofar is chiefly associated with apostate Judaism, where the musical horn is used for many different reasons, as explained in their religious texts such as the Kabbalah and the Talmud.… READ MORE

Vatican issues COVID Injection Commemorative Coin

It is no secret that Vatican City is currently strapped for cash. Indeed, even a “poor church for the poor”, which the Argentinian Jesuit Jorge Bergoglio (“Pope Francis”) has been promoting, has its price.

Just a few days ago, on Aug. 3, 2022, the Italian-language Vatican watch blog Silere Non Possum reported that in order to alleviate the Vatican’s financial woes a bit, ice-cream is now being sold in the courtyard of the Basilica of Saint Mary Major in Rome. What makes the whole matter worse is that the courtyard is fenced in and can only be accessed through the church.… READ MORE

Moving Forward:
Vatican releases Logo for Jubilee Year 2025

[UPDATED 29-JUN-22: Additional video added]

Some time ago the Vatican announced that 2025 would be a jubilee year, which ordinarily takes place every 25 years.

Today the headquarters of the Novus Ordo Church released the logo to go with it. It is displayed above. The theme is “pilgrims of hope”, a motto that basically screams Vatican II.

The Vatican’s Dicastery for Evangelization is responsible for selecting this logo, which was submitted as part of a competition. “A total of 294 entries were received from 213 cities and 48 different countries…,” and this one made the cut, according to a report by Vatican News.… READ MORE

Antipope Francis

“Apostolic Constitution” Praedicate Evangelium

on the Roman Curia
and its Service to the Church and the World

March 19, 2022

This past Saturday, Mar. 19, 2022, Francis finally promulgated his long-awaited document overhauling and restructuring the Roman Curia, which is traditionally “the ensemble of departments or ministries which assist the sovereign pontiff in the government of the Universal Church” (Catholic Encyclopedia).

The document is an “Apostolic Constitution” and bears the title Praedicate Evangelium (“Preach the Gospel”). It is the fruit of about nine years of work by Francis and his “Council of Cardinal Advisors” that was instituted in 2013 for this very purpose.… READ MORE

Faithless Francis: Heretics and Apostates are Part of the Church, “We Are Brothers”

Today being February 2, it is the Feast of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary, also known as Candlemas. That doesn’t keep the apostate Jorge Bergoglio (“Pope Francis”) from really letting it rip, however — on the contrary, it seems to give him all the more impetus to blaspheme and spread false doctrine.

The Argentinian pseudo-pope presided over a Novus Ordo worship service in St. Peter’s Basilica for the occasion, specifically for members of institutes of consecrated life and for members of societies of apostolic life.… READ MORE

The French newspaper La Croix has released a report with more information about the future of the Traditional Latin Mass in the Vatican II Church.

Entitled “How Pope Francis sees Church Traditionalists”, it was written by their Vatican-based correspondent Loup Besmond de Senneville and was published in French yesterday, Jan. 17, 2022. An English translation was released today for the international edition:

Although not an “official” Novus Ordo newspaper, La Croix is very much affiliated with the Vatican II Church and is owned by Bayard Presse, which in turn is owned by the Augustinians of the Assumption.… READ MORE

Francis lectures Roman Curia on Humility, warns of Rigidity and other “Perverse Temptations”

For the Roman Curia in Vatican City, this is the least wonderful time of the year.

Year after year, just before Christmas, the Argentinian squatter occupying the Vatican guest house under the pseudonym “Pope Francis” (Jorge Bergoglio) likes to call his curial officials into his presence so he can give them a piece of his mind. The last two years were a bit of an exception, but this year he “once again dole[d] out some good old-fashioned fraternal correction”, as Vatican reporter Bob Mickens put it.… READ MORE

After over eight years at the helm of the Vatican II Sect, Jorge Bergoglio (“Pope Francis”) is still busy doing what he does best: cause chaos.

On Dec. 8, the public was informed that earlier this year, the Argentinian Jesuit pretending to be Pope had sent two private letters to Mr. Francis DeBernardo, the executive director of the controversial New Ways Ministry, an American “Catholic” organization that promotes sexual sins against nature and falsifies the Gospel of Jesus Christ.… READ MORE
