High Fidel-ity: Francis Meets Fidel Castro in Cuba

Two revolutionary peas in a pod…

High Fidel-ity:
Francis meets Cuba’s Fidel Castro

Cuba’s murderous and ruthless Communist dictator emeritus Fidel Castro got a visit from His Phoniness today, “Pope” Francis. According to a report from ABC News, the meeting lasted about 30 minutes, and the atheist Castro gave Francis a book with his thoughts on religion, while Francis flooded Castro with CDs, his two encyclicals, and two books. Contrary to what Mark Shea might lead you to believe, no, this is not an indication that Castro is now ready to convert to Catholicism.

Here is a brief video clip of the “encounter”:

This meeting between the two revolutionaries took place while Cuban dissidents — that’s those who have spent their lives opposing the tyrannical Communist regime in power since the bloody revolution of 1959 — were not allowed to meet with or even see Francis, who, in any case, expressed no genuine interest in them or their cause.… READ MORE

In TRADCAST 008, released on September 16, 2015, we present you with two fun, solid, information-packed segments on various hot-button issues: In the first segment, we evaluate how Francis’ recent decision to grant simpler and speedier marriage annulments effectively creates “Catholic divorce”, all the while the same “Pope” sheds crocodile tears “lamenting” that the family is under attack. We also analyze Francis’ curious move of giving faculties to the priests and bishops of the Society of St.… READ MORE

Francis Stacks the Deck: Full List of Synod Participants

Vatican Releases Full List of Synod Participants

Francis Stacks the Deck for the Synod

IN: Cupich, Marx, Dolan, Schonborn, Forte, Bode, Bonny, Kasper, Koch, Nichols, Martin, Baldisseri, Pontier, Caffarra, Wuerl, Lovey, Brunin, Danneels, Maradiaga, Tagle, Fernandez, Muller

Today the Unholy See released the official list of all participants of the “Synod on [=against] the Family” to be held October 4-25, 2015 in the Vatican. Not surprisingly, the list contains virtually all of the big names associated with promoting the idea of giving the sacraments to adulterers, many of which already met in a secret “shadow synod” earlier this year, whereas many of the “conservative” players have not been invited.… READ MORE

Masterful: After Opening Annulment Floodgates, Francis ‘Laments’ Attack on Families

One mouth, two sides…

Masterful: Two Days after Opening Annulment Floodgates, Francis “Laments” Attack on Families

If hypocrisy could prolong your life, Francis would be immortal. The Argentinian impostor pope is a master at the pernicious art of Modernism, the “synthesis of all heresies”, as the heroic Pope Saint Pius X called it in his 1907 landmark encyclical Pascendi Dominici Gregis (n. 39). When one studies the tactics of the Modernists, as exposed, for example, in the Vatican-endorsed 1886 book Liberalism is a Sin, or in Pope Pius VI’s 1794 bull Auctorem Fidei, one finds that one is eerily reminded of people like “Pope” Francis.… READ MORE

Revolt Against Francis: Anti-Francis Dossier Leaked, Curia has had enough after Drive-Thru Annulments

 Explosive Dossier leaked…

Revolt Against Francis:

Curial Prelates have had enough: Anti-Francis Dossier circulating in Vatican accusing him of introducing “Catholic Divorce” — “Feelings of Physical Aggression” against Bergoglio

Once again, there is explosive news coming from Rome: High-ranking prelates in the Vatican have been exasperated with Francis for a while, but apparently we have now reached a point at which they are not willing to take any more. Francis’ recent “annulment” reform — which effectively permit drive-thru annulments and practically sanction “Catholic divorce” — is the proverbial straw that broke the camel’s back, although it is more of a dumbbell than a straw, truth be told.

Prelude to Schism?
An Anti-Synod Video Appears

Apparently some hierarchs in the Vatican II Sect have realized that it looks like Jorge Beroglio (“Pope” Francis) is about to open the floodgates with his new-found “mercy” from the “god of surprises” at the upcoming “Synod on the Family” in Rome in October. Last year’s Synod — the first of two parts — was a disaster, and we can expect that this year’s follow-up is going to be a repeat on steroids. From the beginning we have referred to Bergoglio as “Chaos Frank” because it was pretty obvious from the start that this man would unleash precisely this — chaos — upon his religion (for a laundry list of his many accomplishments since then, click here).… READ MORE

Motu Inapproprio: Francis Streamlines Marriage “Annulments”

Faster, simpler, and free!

Motu Inapproprio:
Francis overhauls Marriage “Annulments”, Abortion now Grounds for Nullity!

Clearly, they don’t have enough marriage “annulments”, abortions, or broken families in the Novus Ordo Church yet, so… Francis to the rescue!

Today, September 8, 2015, the Birthday of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Vatican’s Argentinian lay impostor “Pope”, Francis, released two “Apostolic Letters” Motu Proprio to reform the process for declarations of matrimonial nullity. Here are the relevant links to the documents, in various languages:

The first English reports and summaries on the new annulment changes have appeared — we are linking them here:

In a nutshell, Francis’ overhaul of declarations of nullity establishes the following major changes (we are basing this information on the news reports linked above):

  • Process will be free of charge (diocese must carry the costs, can be helped by local bishops’ conference)
  • One single sentence suffices – no more automatic appeal of the first sentence, though a manual appeal is still possible
  • If one party fails to show up after being summoned twice, taken as consent that annulment process should move forward
  • A first appeal is to remain local, that is, on the metropolitan level
  • A second appeal can be made to the Vatican
  • There need only be one single judge, under the local bishop
  • The bishop alone can be the judge, bypassing the normal process of the tribunal, under certain conditions
  • Abortion is now grounds for annulment (now this is just plain evil, as it may cause women seeking an “annulment” to have an abortion as a sure way to get their “declaration of nullity” — don’t think some could be this wicked?

Are You Catholic? It’s Time to take a Stand

Time to take a stand…

Are You Catholic?

It’s only a few more weeks, nay days, before Jorge Bergoglio (“Pope” Francis) visits the United States. He will arrive on Tuesday, Sept. 22 and stay until Sunday, Sept. 27. Here is the official schedule:

With the arrival of Francis, a great many secular people will turn their attention to “things Catholic”, and this means that for those of us who live in the United States, we may very well be asked whether we are Catholic, what we think of Francis, and whether we are excited about the “papal” visit.… READ MORE

“Pope” Francis Grants Jurisdiction to SSPX Priests to Hear Confessions for Year of Mercy

“Mercy” is for everyone!

Francis Grants Jurisdiction to SSPX Priests to Hear Confessions & Grant Absolution during “Holy Year of Mercy”

Breaking News from the Vatican this morning: The apostate Argentinian layman Mr. Jorge Bergoglio (“Pope” Francis), has announced that for the upcoming jubilee year, the “holy year of mercy”, he is “excluding no one” and therefore expressly granting faculties (ordinary jurisdiction) to priests and bishops of the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) to hear confessions and grant valid absolution.

Here are his exact words, taken from a translation of a letter he sent to the President of the “Pontifical Council for the Promotion of the New Evangelization” on Sept.

Meet the new “Archbishop” of Santa Fe: John Wester

Meet the New “Archbishop” of Santa Fe:
John Charles Wester

As of late, Jorge Bergoglio (“Pope Francis”) has been appointing “bishops” faster than Chris Ferrrara can say “diabolical disorientation”. On Monday, April 27, 2015, Mr. Bergoglio appointed the “bishop” of Salt Lake City, John Charles Wester, as the new “Archbishop” of Santa Fe, New Mexico. Here are some of the news stories covering the appointment, as well as an interview:
