It’s time for a laugh…
It’s Thanksgiving Day here in the United States, and it seems everyone could use a bit of a break — and certainly a laugh. We’ve put together the following hilarious video for you. It is a scene from the movie Downfall, but we’ve changed the subtitles just a bit. You don’t want to miss this one:
Well then… Happy Thanksgiving!… READ MORE
More of the same — lots more!
One may wonder if Francis perhaps has a twin brother, since it is inconceivable that one person alone could talk as much as he does. Alas, he does not — he simply loves to hear himself talk, that much is clear.
Francis’ faux Year of Mercy has finally drawn to a close. It ended officially on Sunday, Nov. 20. But before that happened, the almost-80-year-old Argentinian layman-in-papal-clothes once again had plenty to do and say. Due to the sheer volume of the “papal” activities and speeches during the past few weeks, it was simply not possible to cover all of them in detail, and so we are only now publishing one post to provide a succinct recap of his words and activities (that we didn’t cover elsewhere) from Nov.… READ MORE
SSPX Faculties extended indefinitely…
At a special press conference today, the Vatican released Francis’ latest official document, the “Apostolic Letter” Misericordia et Misera. The text is available in sundry languages at the Vatican web site, of which we make the following two available via direct links:
Amazingly, the document does not shy away from using the word “adultery”, in its opening sentence even. Of course, it only mentions this word in connection with forgiveness, but it’s still noteworthy because Amoris Laetitia had refused to use the term and spoke instead of “irregular situations”.… READ MORE
The fun just never stops…
Another day, another avalanche of words from Jorge Bergoglio: first a sermon, then a televised 40-minute interview on Sunday, November 20.
In addition to it being the official close of the Year of [Bogus] Mercy, it was also the Feast of Christ the King in the Vatican II Sect (in the Catholic Church, this feast is celebrated on the last Sunday in October). In his sermon for the occasion, Francis, as was to be expected, entirely skipped over the Social Kingship of Christ and instead made it all about Christ reigning in our hearts.… READ MORE
Today is November 20, 2016. This is the day Francis’ fake Year of Mercy closes, and so it is also the last day of our Year of Exclusion, Judgment, and Condemnation, which was being observed in direct contrast to the former. For one last time we will focus on some forgotten truth of the holy Catholic Faith that is considered by our sorry society to be extremely judgmental, exclusionary, negative, hateful, bigoted, intolerant, condemnatory, unwelcoming, dogmatic, narrow-minded, and everything else that oh-so-enlightened modern man despises and detests.
We would have wanted to put up more posts in this series but the never-ending, rapidly-developing Francis Show in the Vatican precluded it.… READ MORE
New interview — and then some…
The neverending drama about Amoris Laetitia continues.
The formal request submitted by “Cardinals” Caffarra, Meisner, Burke, and Brandmuller for clarification of five specific points in the infernal exhortation Amoris Laetitia (the so-called dubia, or “doubts”), was released to the public this past Monday, since for almost two months the “Sovereign Pontiff” had refused to give them the courtesy of a response. “Cardinal” Burke added more fuel to the fire by saying in a follow-up interview that the next step would be to confront Francis with a “formal act of correction” should he persist in his errors.… READ MORE
First in a series of falling dominoes?
Deo gratias! Another Semi-Traditionalist has finally had enough and publicly confessed the truth that is plain for all to see who are courageous enough to look: Francis is not the Pope of the Catholic Church. Mr. Louie Verrecchio, formerly a star pundit of the conservative wing of the Novus Ordo Sect who came to embrace a recognize-but-resist type of traditionalism, has just made the following declaration on his blog, AKA Catholic: “Francis has judged himself a formal heretic. He is, therefore, an antipope” (source).… READ MORE
Hey, at least they’re trying…
The fireworks just keep on coming. As the reliable Vaticanist Giuseppe Nardi reports today, a 1975 theological study by the learned Brazilian layman Arnaldo Vidigal Xavier da Silveira is currently making the rounds in the Vatican, and it’s not just any study: It’s a study on whether it is possible for a Pope to be or become a heretic, and if so, what consequences would follow from this.
What might possibly have given occasion for Vatican theologians to occupy themselves with such abstruse thoughts? Have they all gone into studying abstract hypotheses for the sake of sharpening their intellects?… READ MORE
Last Step before Schism?
When on Monday, Nov. 14, the Italian journalist Sandro Magister published the five dubia submitted to Francis by “Cardinals” Caffarra, Burke, Brandmuller, and Meisner in September, requesting a “clarification” on various controverted points found in the Bergoglian exhortation Amoris Laetitia, it was certain that “clarification” was just a smoother-sounding code word for “retraction”. There is, after all, nothing left to clarify: The exhortation is a most dangerous document subversive of the very foundations of Catholic morality that brazenly attacks the indissolubility of the marriage bond; and Francis has already confirmed, sometimes more, sometimes less openly, that any ambiguous passages are to be understood in their heretical sense.… READ MORE
Francis’ friends at work…
Boy, things are really hitting the fan now over Amoris Laetitia. As the Italian conservative Novus Ordo journalist Sandro Magister revealed on his blog today, there is a pro-Francis “secret police” at work in Rome now, bullying Novus Ordo academics into compliance with Francis’ new-found perverted morality as laid out in the “Apostolic” exhortation Amoris Laetitia. This is the document that effectively permits unrepentant fornicators and adulterers — and, at least by extension, also practitionors of unnatural vice — to receive the Novus Ordo sacraments.… READ MORE
Like there’s anything left to clarify…
[UPDATE 15-NOV-16: Interview with “Cardinal” Burke on Challenge to Francis]
One may say it’s an Ottaviani Intervention for Novus Ordos: “Cardinals” Raymond Burke, Joachim Meisner, Walter Brandmüller, and Carlo Caffarra have taken the formal step of submitting an official set of dubia (“doubts”) to the “Pope”, presenting him with five specific questions pertaining to the disastrous and controversial “Apostolic” Exhortation Amoris Laetitia, which he released in April of this year. These five clear questions demand five clear answers: yes or no.… READ MORE
Idiotic Dance Performance inside St. Moritz Church: “The 7 Deadly Sins”
CAUTION! Immodesty
Elections have Consequences…
On Nov. 8, 2016, Donald J. Trump was elected the 45th president of the United States of America. Since Francis is not only the Vatican II Church’s pretend-Pope but also the de facto head of state of Vatican City, diplomatic relations between the two countries will inevitably be affected one way or another.
It was clear to anyone who could read between the lines — or, sometimes, even just the lines themselves — that Trump wasn’t exactly Francis’ favored candidate. We remember especially the brilliant comment Francis made in February of this year about Trump’s expressed intent to build a wall at the border to stop the flow of illegal immigration into the United States from Mexico:
The great irony here was, of course, that Francis himself, dwelling in Vatican City, lives behind what are perhaps the entire world’s biggest walls surrounding any country.… READ MORE
Slaughtered over 10,000 babies…
In Francis’ Vatican, the enemies of Jesus Christ are always welcome. While the papal pretender didn’t find enough time (not even 30 seconds!) to meet with the family of Asia Bibi, the Christian woman facing execution in Pakistan for allegedly “blaspheming” Islam, Francis welcomed one of Italy’s most notorious feminazi leftists on November 8, a woman who “has boasted that she and her group committed 10,141 illegal abortions” (source). Bonino was never prosecuted for her cruel deeds because she ran for public office and thus received parliamentary immunity.… READ MORE
Taking Care of Cre(m)ation…
November is traditionally the month the Church dedicates to the Holy Souls in purgatory, a time when the faithful are encouraged, more than at any other point during the year, to make intercession for the faithful departed, particularly on All Souls’ Day (typically observed on Nov. 2, sometimes Nov. 3).
Just in time for this, the Vatican II Sect has issued a decree by the Congregation for the Destruction of the Faith to remind all Novus Ordo adherents that cremation is a licit way of disposing of the remains of the deceased, and that a burial of the body, although preferable, is not necessary.… READ MORE
Andrew Likoudis publishes big Novus Ordo anthology responding to 'Catholic Traditionalism'. No doubt their refutations of the various recognize-and-resist errors is right on the money, but of course they're also defending the errors of Vatican II and the post-conciliar church. https://x.com/NovusOrdoWatch/status/1986537323417288755/photo/1
How many semi-trads agree with this? "In proscribing errors, the Church cannot demand any internal assent from the faithful by which the judgments she issues are to be embraced." It's too bad it's one of the MODERNIST ERRORS condemned by Pope St. Pius X in Lamentabili Sane (n. 7)

In Charlotte, hey are frantically trying to do all they can to prevent their new 'bishop' from succeeding in his desire to suppress every semblance of Catholicism. One can sympathize with their piety and good will, but the solution is to recognize that this Modernist lowlife is
UPDATE: At Tuesday’s presbyteral council meeting Bishop Martin requested that the use of altar rails be discontinued. We are hearing the meeting was contentious and 3 hours long. Canon lawyers were referenced. Priests & faithful: he can ask but cannot command. USE THE RAILS!
Notice how Kennedy is framing the issue so as to give him an advantage in the argument. He claims Mater Populi Fidelis comes from "a Roman theologian". But Fernandez wasn't issuing the document in his capacity as private theologian but in the exercise of his office as head of the
@riecker What is one to do when what comes from a Roman theologian contradicts what innumerable saints, popes, and theologians have taught before?
It should also give pause to those who say "submit to Rome" when Trads express disagreements. In the realm of disputed questions -- and,
Kennedy Hall doesn't know what he's doing. Check out the responses in his thread.

For those following my Twitter discussion with Matt Gaspers, here's my latest reply.
@MattGaspers @bishop_conley @DrKwasniewski Please excuse the long delay in replying, Matt. I simply didn't have time to really look at your response until now. I reply thus:
First, you’re contradicting yourself. You just said that I supposedly hold it is impossible that a Pope or bishop ever err in matter of faith or
