The Question of a Heretical Pope considered by the First Vatican Council

Historical Fact vs. Neo-Trad Wonderland…

The Question of a Heretical Pope considered by the First Vatican Council

[See also our Follow-Up Post here]

While certain self-styled “traditionalists” and “real Catholics” are currently pushing the attractive and convenient but utterly false and disastrous idea that the Catholic Church had Popes in her history who were heretics but were still valid Popes, we at Novus Ordo Watch like to go by actual Church teaching and verifiable facts.

Besides such blowhards as Michael Voris (at 5:54 here) and Eric Gajewski (here), one of the biggest loudmouths out there who is pushing this bewildering error of “heretical but valid Popes” is the anonymous English blogger Mundabor, whom we recently gave a good spanking for his train wreck of a theological analysis on the Novus Ordo Missae.

Released on April 1, TRADCAST 004 gives a brief overview of the Catholic dogma No Salvation Outside the Church (Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus). Unlike what is usually done when discussing this topic, the intent in this TRADCAST is not to provide prooftexts for various theses, but rather to demonstrate in summary fashion how Catholic dogmatic theology hangs together with Catholic moral theology, producing the necessary conclusion that being inside the Catholic Church is not identical to being a member of the Church.… READ MORE

III: Intentional Irreverence – The New Mass (1)

Isn’t it time you too headed for the exit?

Restoration Radio’s new show “Escape from the Novus Ordo” returns with Fr. Michael Oswalt, a former Novus Ordo “priest” of the diocese of Rockford, Illinois, who converted to traditional Catholicism (sedevacantism) and was ordained a true priest in 2011. He has penned an open letter to his former diocese of Rockford, Illinois, in which he explains why he left the Novus Ordo religion. The letter is available in English and Spanish:

Born in 1972, no one is a better fit than Fr.… READ MORE

Novus Ordo Missae: The Modernist Worship Service in Action

If you want to have a stellar example of the warped theology and mental gymnastics you have to embrace in Neo-Traditionalist Wonderland, look no further than the issues being discussed by Mundabor and Louie Verrecchio on whether the “New Mass” (Novus Ordo Missae of Paul VI) is evil and/or sinful to attend. There we have two individuals who use Catholic principles very selectively and/or turn a blind eye to what is right in front of them, in order not to have to embrace that which would otherwise follow necessarily: Sedevacantism.… READ MORE

Liturgical Mayhem in Poland

Liturgical Mayhem in Poland

If some things are better left uncommented, this would have to be one of them. The video below is a liturgical disaster on Gaudete Sunday (Third Sunday of Advent) in a Novus Ordo parish in Katowice, Poland. This is perfect to show anyone who thinks that Modernist chaos liturgies are confined to the United States, Germany, and Austria. It is not so.

In case you’re wondering why the “Pope” isn’t doing anything about this sort of thing, that’s because… umm… well… see this link here.

We recall that when the same “Pope” Francis proceeded to declare Karol Wojtyla a “saint” — the Polish superstar who invented extravagant “papal” liturgies — the hideous Crucifix of Cevo, dedicated to John Paul II, collapsed and killed a pilgrim who was on his way to the “canonization”.… READ MORE

We do not typically simply republish other people’s blog posts, but in this case, we will make an exception as the post shows the anti-Catholic ideas inherent in the justifications given by Bp. Richard Williamson for his recent episcopal consecration of Bp. Jean-Michel Faure, both formerly with the Society of St. Pius X.

The following is a repost from the blog Introibo ad Altare Dei. With a few minor exceptions, all formatting has been retained as in the original post, which is entitled Pater Noster?… READ MORE

“Night of Lights” Profanes Catholic Church Building

“They have set fire to thy sanctuary: they have defiled the dwelling place of thy name on the earth.” (Ps 73:7)

Watching this 14-minute video above will send shivers down your spine. Once more a traditional Catholic church building — you know, the kind built by Catholics for the sake of adoring God Almighty in the Most Blessed Sacrament — has been abused by the Novus Ordo Sect for anything other than Catholic worship. In the above clip, what you see is a presentation of Nacht der Lichter (“Night of Lights”) in St.… READ MORE

Neo-Traditionalist ‘Resistance’ gets a new Bishop, SSPX condemns, Vatican expected to announce Excommunication

Image Source: Non Possumus Blog

The do-your-own-thing religion of Neo-Traditionalism, more specifically the camp of the “really-really-bad Resistance trads” (i.e. those who split from the SSPX because the SSPX was no longer SSPX enough), has gotten a new bishop: Fr. Jean-Michel Faure, 73, was consecrated on March 19, 2015, by Bp. Richard Williamson, 75, in Nova Friburgo, Brazil, near Rio de Janeiro. (We had blogged on the impending consecration here.)

Williamson is one of the original four bishops consecrated by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre in Econe, Switzerland, on June 30, 1988 (see video here), which was the official date of the beginning of what has come to be known as the “Lefebvre schism” in the Novus Ordo Church.… READ MORE

What do you know… Mr. Jorge Bergoglio (“Pope Francis”) is reportedly planning to meet and have lunch with 90 detainees in a prison in Naples on Saturday, March 21, ten of whom will be transsexuals. The following report is taken directly from the so-called National Catholic Reporter:

ROME — Pope Francis is reportedly to have lunch Saturday with ten transsexual persons, as part of a visit with prisoners in the southern Italian city of Naples.

The following report is a repost from the Novus Ordo / indult Rorate Caeli web site (original post here):

It was only a matter of time. Ever since Bishop Richard Williamson eventually caused the Society of Saint Pius X (FSSPX / SSPX) to force his own expulsion from that Society in 2012, the watch has been on for him to consecrate one or more bishops. This became even more inevitable as he has failed to recruit any significant number of clergy or faithful away from the SSPX in a so-called “Resistance” attempt.
