Reality Check for Non-Sedevacantists…

Demonstrating the Folly of the False Traditionalist ‘Recognize & Resist’ Position

Inspired by a recent suggestion from Mr. Stephen Heiner of True Restoration, we have decided to illustrate the absudity of the false traditionalist “recognize and resist” position by taking a recent article from Mr. John Vennari, one of the main propagators of this position in the United States, and substituting every mention of “Francis” with the phrase “Vicar of Jesus Christ on Earth”, which Mr. Vennari absolutely insists is exactly who “Pope” Francis is. The recognize-and-resist view is essentially the position that true Catholics must recognize the Vatican II church and its hierarchy as the true Catholic Church of Jesus Christ and as the legitimate Roman Catholic shepherds (in contrast to sedevacantism, which denies that the Vatican II church is the Catholic Church or its clerics are Roman Catholic authorities), yet resist them in any and all matters pertaining to faith, morals, church government, or worship inasmuch as these are harmful, impious, erroneous, sacrilegious, or heretical.

Italian Magazine Publishes Alleged Text
of True Third Secret of Fatima

The July/August 2013 issue of Chiesa Viva [“Living Church”] magazine is dedicated to what it claims is the true Third Secret of Fatima. It features Dr. Franco Adessa’s article “The Third Secret of Fatima: A Testimony.” According to Adessa, the now-deceased Fr. Luigi Villa, who reportedly had a mandate from Pope Pius XII to uncover and expose Freemasonry in the Catholic Church and to defend her from it, knew from Cardinal Alfredo Ottaviani (d. 1979) that the text published in the German magazine Neues Europa [“New Europe”] in 1963, though not itself the Third Secret, contained all of the sentences of the real Third Secret.… READ MORE

 “Pope” Francis & Our Lady of Fatima

It is quite disheartening to see just how many good-willed but yet seriously-misled people in the Novus Ordo and semi-traditionalist circles are ignoring the cold hard facts about Jorge Mario Bergoglio in order to be able to continue to entertain the heart-warming idea that the man is the Pope of the Catholic Church. Bergoglio — “Pope Francis — does not have a single Catholic bone in his body, as our Francis Page amply demonstrates, yet so many are just taken in by the white cassock and the papal claim that they cannot – or are unwilling to – draw the necessary conclusions from the facts we know about him.

Heresy has Consequences…

“Saint” John Paul II Strikes Again…

Floods Destroy Lourdes Grotto again as Vatican announces Second “Miracle” of John Paul II

Is this coincidence? The first time Lourdes was severely damaged by flooding was October 21, 2012, the very day that a “relic” of the apostate and false “Pope” John Paul II were scheduled to arrive at the French holy site. We reported the matter back then under the tagline “Talk about raining on someone’s parade”… (see our coverage here – scroll down about one-third of the page).

Now, flooding hit a second time, and worse than before, the very same day (June 18, 2013) that the modernist Vatican announced they had approved the second (and final) “miracle” needed to clear the way for the “canonization” of John Paul II as a “saint”.

CDF Head Müller pays Tribute to Liberation Theology

“The Latin American ecclesial and theological movement known as ‘Liberation Theology’, which spread to other parts of the world after the Second Vatican Council, should in my opinion be included among the most important currents in 20th century Catholic theology.” This authoritative and glorifying historical evaluation of Liberation Theology did not just come from some ancient South American theologian who is out of touch with the times. The above statement was made by Archbishop Gerhard Ludwig Müller, Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith which Ratzinger headed in the 1980’s, after John Paul II appointed him to the post.

No valid priests or bishops in 45 years…

Unholy Orders:
Paul VI’s Modernist Ordination Rite Turns 45

paul6-pontificalis.jpg
On June 18, 1968, Bp. Giovanni Battista Montini — then the head of the Vatican II Sect and known as “Pope” Paul VI — signed an “apostolic constitution” to change the Roman Catholic rite of ordination. These changes touched not only some of the more peripheral ceremonies but the very substance of the sacrament itself. The very words which Pope Pius XII, in 1947, had definitively decreed were necessary for the validity of the sacrament of holy orders, were changed by Paul VI in such a way as to render the ordination of priests doubtful and the consecration of bishops definitely invalid.… READ MORE

Calls Bergoglio a Theological “Train Wreck”…
John Vennari of “Catholic Family News”

John Vennari: “I would never allow Pope Francis
to Teach Religion to my Children”

Mr. John Vennari is the editor of the traditionalist but anti-sedevacantist (which we call “semi-traditionalist” or “neo-traditionalist”) monthly paper Catholic Family News. He is one of the few semi-traditionalists whose belief in the claim to the papacy of the leaders of the Novus Ordo Church since 1958 does not cause him to disregard or minimize the ugly facts about these men with regard to their theology and morals. (In this, he distinguishes himself from many of his colleagues, such as the Rev.… READ MORE

Francis & the “Gay Lobby” in the Roman Curia

On June 11, a veritable firestorm erupted in the blogosphere when it was made public that Mr. Jorge Bergoglio, the current head of the Vatican II Counter-Church, candidly acknowledged in an audience with religious from Latin America and the Caribbean (“CLAR”) that there is indeed a “stream of corruption” and a “gay lobby” in the Curia. The Roman Curia is the administrative organization of the Vatican and the governing body of the entire church.

Of course, the term “gay lobby” is politically correct and much too soft compared to the stark reality it’s supposed to denote: We are talking here about a number of deviant influential perverts who are hardcore sodomites, seeking to commandeer thoughts, words, and actions in the institution most people in the world today (falsely) believe to be the Roman Catholic Church.

  • Doctrinal Orthodoxy? No Big Deal for “Pope” Francis – Uh, readers of Novus Ordo Watch knew that one from day one…
  • Opening the Doors to Ridicule – Not everyone who believes Francis is Pope is thrilled with his degradation of the papal office, nor with the neo-conservative, semi-traditionalist Zuhlsdorf-Voris-Gruner spin machine.
  • Same Old Meaningless ’60s Junk: Francis says True Progress is “Trusting the Spirit” – As usual, of course, he stays conveniently vague – gives absolutely no direction as to what this means and how it could be discerned; and in the meantime, he implicitly bashes the Catholic Church until 1958 as being “immature”, fearful, and not trusting in the Holy Ghost.

Novus Ordo Parish Hosts ‘Gay Pride’ Interfaith Prayer Service

A Novus Ordo parish in Syracuse, New York, has hosted a “gay pride” interfaith prayer service:

In the above video, the parish’s “Fr.” Fred Daley, a self-confessed homosexual, speaks about how the mission of the church is to be “welcoming” to all. (He did not cite a Church document or a biblical passage to back up this claim, by the way.) Daley is the pastor of All Saints Novus Ordo parish (perish would be more fitting) in Syracuse, New York.… READ MORE

When Death Comes For You,
How Will You Choose?

Pope St. Pius X on his deathbed (1914)

Imagine yourself on your deathbed. Your strength is failing you; you’ve had what was probably your last meal. You are in intense agony, as the bodily suffering you are undergoing is exceeded only by the anguish of your soul because you need to go to confession but are now entirely dependent on a priest coming to you. The priest has been called, but he hasn’t arrived yet. You are afraid because you know that your soul could be parting from your body at any moment.… READ MORE

Francis Concerned:

‘They’re Counting Rosaries!’

Poor Jorge Bergoglio. Poor “Pope” Francis. Most of the world believes him to be the Pope of the Catholic Church, including the majority of those who consider themselves Catholic Traditionalists or Traditional Catholics. So some of these latter wanted to give their “Pope” a nice spiritual bouquet to show their love and loyalty, but they forgot that the recipient of this bouquet isn’t a Catholic and so he doesn’t know what to do with it. In an anecdote the “Holy Father” himself related, upon his election as Francis, he got a letter from one of those (his words) “restorationist groups” in Buenos Aires, telling him: “Your Holiness, we offer you this spiritual treasure: 3,525 rosaries.”
