The body of apostates officially known as the ‘Roman Catholic bishops’ of Germany is meeting this week for its spring conference.

This morning, Feb. 24, the assembly elected a new president. He is ‘Bishop’ Heiner Wilmer, the local ordinary of Hildesheim:

On Tuesday morning, Wilmer, the bishop of Hildesheim, was elected by the 56 bishops attending the spring plenary assembly as the successor of Bishop Georg Bätzing of Limburg.

Multi-religious madness in Mexico…

Interreligious Jubilee at Our Lady of Guadalupe Basilica with Hare Krishna, Sufi Moslems, Jews, Protestants, and ‘Catholics’

Novus Ordos and other unbelievers — all united in their rejection of Catholicism…

What we are reporting in this post took place in Mexico nine months ago. It went largely unnoticed then because fewer than two weeks had passed since the end of the conclave, and so many ‘Catholic’ news agencies, journalists, and talking heads were still smitten with the election of Robert Prevost as ‘Pope Leo XIV’ and his ability to chant the Our Father and Regina Caeli in Latin.… READ MORE

NOT HAPPENING:
SSPX Rejects Vatican Order to Cancel Episcopal Consecrations

The Lefebvrist Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) has given its formal response to the Vatican’s conditions for theological dialogue, outlined on Feb. 12, 2026, by the Prefect of the Dicastery for the Destruction of the Faith and Vatican expert on kissing, ‘Cardinal’ Victor Manuel Fernandez.

SSPX Superior General Fr. Davide Pagliarani sent his formal response to Fernandez on Feb. 18, and it was made public today along with three appended documents and a press release:

Ecumenical Carnival Madness in German ‘Catholic’ Church

Year after year…

Ecumenical Carnival Madness in German ‘Catholic’ Church

It’s carnival season, and in Germany, that means it’s time for the annual “Fools’ Masses” or at least “Fools’ Liturgies”. Oftentimes these absurdities come in an ecumenical package, meaning it’s Novus Ordo adherents (‘Catholics’) and Lutherans celebrating together.

A video recently appeared on Instagram that shows what took place on Saturday evening, Feb. 7, 2026, in the ‘Catholic’ Church of Mary’s Assumption (Mariä Himmelfahrt) in the little town of Höchstädt, part of the diocese of Augsburg. It was released by the official Instagram account of the parish community, so we can be certain it’s genuine.… READ MORE

Podcast: The Society of Saint Pius X versus the Vatican
(TRADCAST EXPRESS 222)

Our latest podcast episode, TRADCAST EXPRESS 222, has been published. Its main topic is the controversy between the Vatican and the Lefebvrist Society of St. Pius X or SSPX (internationally known as the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X or FSSPX) with regard to its announced intention to consecrate bishops without the required mandate from the person they recognize as the Pope of the Catholic Church, Robert Prevost (Leo XIV).

In particular, this TRADCAST EXPRESS episode considers:

Vatican Proposal to SSPX:
Call Off the Bishops’ Consecrations and We’ll Talk!

In the words of the American baseball player Yogi Berra, “It’s déjà vu all over again.”

This morning, the Superior General of the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX), Father Davide Pagliarani, together with the two remaining bishops of the Society, Alfonso de Galarreta and Bernard Fellay, had a formal meeting with the Vatican’s Prefect of the so-called Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, ‘His Eminence’ Victor Manuel Fernandez.

The meeting had been announced last week after the SSPX Superior announced the Society would consecrate more bishops on July 1, regardless of whether Robert Prevost (‘Pope Leo XIV’) grants them a mandate to do so or not:

Diabolical Inversion: Male ‘Bride’ and Female ‘Groom’ Celebrate Transgender Wedding in ‘Catholic’ Church

‘Pastoral accompaniment’ in Argentina….

Diabolical Inversion: Male ‘Bride’ and Female ‘Groom’ Celebrate Transgender Wedding in ‘Catholic’ Church

Gotcha! The bride is actually the husband, and vice versa… or something.

The following story is from our ‘You can’t make this stuff up!’ department.

In Argentina, a Novus Ordo priest has celebrated the wedding of a so-called ‘transgender couple’: a man who considers himself a woman and a woman who considers herself a man. Since the union is between a male and a female, regardless of personal delusions, the ‘Catholic priest’ saw no reason why these two mentally deranged people couldn’t enter a sacramental marriage.… READ MORE

After the Superior General of the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX), Fr. Davide Pagliarani, publicly made known on Feb. 2, 2026, that new bishops would be consecrated on July 1, although the Vatican had refused the requisite permission (mandate), the anticipated drama began to unfold.

The news spread like wildfire, and the SSPX’s official web sites crashed, apparently overwhelmed by the volume of people trying to access them to see the news for themselves.… READ MORE

The big story this week has been the episcopal consecrations announced by the Superior General of the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) for July 1, 2026, which will take place with or without the required approval of ‘Pope’ Leo XIV:

Yesterday, on Feb. 3, 2026, Kevin Davis of the Catholic Family Podcast hosted a live-streamed discussion about the SSPX’s decision to ordain more bishops. Among the invited guests were the former SSPX priest and now sedevacantist bishop, the Most Rev.… READ MORE

(TRADCAST EXPRESS 221)

Our latest podcast episode, TRADCAST EXPRESS 221, has been published. Its main topic is the Traditional Latin Mass of the Roman Catholic rite, which has been in the news again recently on account of the Vatican consistory that took place Jan. 7-8, 2026, which was supposed to include discussion on the sacred liturgy.

In this new 26-minute episode, we consider an argument made by Bp. Athanasius Schneider, auxiliary Novus Ordo bishop in Astana, Kazakhstan, and we completely torpedo Dr. Taylor Marshall‘s recent (amusingly insistent) contention that the perpetuity clause of Pope St.… READ MORE

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

On June 26, 1990, the Vatican released a 27-page “Instruction on the Ecclesial Vocation of the Theologian” bearing the official title Donum Veritatis (“The Gift of Truth”). It is available on the Vatican web site in English and sundry other languages:

The text was presented at a press conference by then-‘Cardinal’ Joseph Ratzinger (1927-2022), who at the time was head of the so-called Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith under ‘Pope’ John Paul II (r.… READ MORE

Today, Robert Prevost (‘Pope Leo XIV’) received representatives of the so-called Neocatechumenal Way, one of the many Vatican II-spawned lay movements. It was founded in 1964 by Francisco ‘Kiko’ Argüello (b. 1939), Carmen Hernández (1930-2016), and Rev. Mario Pezzi (b. 1941).

In his address to those gathered, Leo, similar to his predecessor Jorge Bergoglio (‘Pope Francis’), made a point to warn against using “rigidity” and “moralism” in their preaching of the Gospel, catechetical efforts, or pastoral work, lest people experience “guilt and fear”:

The Church accompanies you, supports you, and is grateful for what you do.
