No False Unity: Cardinal Stritch’s Rebuff of the Ecumenical Movement

His Eminence Cardinal Samuel Alphonsus Stritch (1887-1958) was the Archbishop of Chicago, Illinois, from 1940 until 1958.

In 1910 he was ordained a priest in Rome at the young age of 22 after Pope St. Pius X had granted him a special dispensation. Pope Benedict XV appointed him bishop of Toledo, Ohio, and named him a Domestic Prelate of His Holiness in 1921. Bp. Stritch became Archbishop of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 1930, and was appointed Archbishop of Chicago nine years later. Pope Pius XII elevated him to the status of cardinal in 1946.… READ MORE

“Rethinking” the Papacy? A New Narrative for the Semi-Trads

Think again, fellows!

“Rethinking” the Papacy?
A New Narrative for the Semi-Trads

One gets the feeling that the recognize-and-resist traditionalists over at One Peter Five cannot contain their enthusiasm. They have latched onto a novel concept they think can vindicate their traditionalism vis-à-vis “Pope” Francis and yet also preserve them from the oh-so detested Sedevacantism. They are now openly floating the idea of rethinking the Papacy.

Just the other day One Peter Five issued a call for article submissions. As in, “This is the position we’re going to be taking, and now we need people to provide the argumentation to back it up.”… READ MORE

Ecumenism instead of Catholicism: Francis misleads Eastern Orthodox Monks

Profound ecumenical thoughts galore…

Ecumenism instead of Catholicism:
Francis misleads Eastern Orthodox Monks


Always has his mouth open, especially when he has nothing to say: Jorge Bergoglio aka “Pope” Francis

On June 3, 2022, the Argentinian apostate Jorge Bergoglio (“Pope Francis”) received into his presence a delegation of young priests and monks who are members of the Eastern Orthodox religion. His address for the occasion was relatively brief, but long enough to fill it with the usual ecumenical blather about the common “journey” towards that “unity” that comes only from the “Spirit”.

In this post we will briefly examine Bergoglio’s insufferable twaddle.… READ MORE

Not Just Wicked Shepherds but a Heretical Church: A Sedevacantist Reply to Joshua Charles

Critical review of “The Catholic Response to Corrupt Cardinals”

Not Just Wicked Shepherds but a Heretical Church:
A Sedevacantist Reply to Joshua Charles

On May 31, 2022, an article appeared on One Peter Five entitled “The Catholic Response to Corrupt Cardinals”. Its author is Joshua Charles, who, according to his biographical note, is a convert from Protestantism.

Given that it is published on a web site that is well-known for its firm adherence to and promotion of the recognize-and-resist position — Eric Sammons, Kennedy Hall, and Peter Kwasniewski are contributing editors at One Peter Five, and T. S.… READ MORE

A “Miracle of Sharing, Not Multiplying”: Francis on Christ’s Feeding of the Five Thousand

“…but what are these among so many?” (Jn 6:9)

A “Miracle of Sharing, Not Multiplying”:
Francis on Christ’s Feeding of the Five Thousand

Yesterday, on May 30, 2022, the world’s most talkative Jesuit, “Pope” Francis, gave an address to participants in the General Chapters of the Poor Servants of Divine Providence, gathered at the Vatican.

The man more properly known as Jorge Bergoglio did not fail to include some fancy Novus Ordo terminology in his speech. For example, he spoke of the “prophecy of communion”, “creative fidelity”, a “culture of providence”, “sterile nostalgia”, and the “dream of God”. Mention was also made of the “paternal and maternal face of God”.… READ MORE

Novus Ordo Watch – the Inside Story:
An Interview on True Restoration

On Mar. 4, 2022, Stephen Heiner of True Restoration sat down with yours truly (Mario Derksen) for an interesting in-depth conversation centering on the personal story behind Novus Ordo Watch.

Established in the fall of 2002, Novus Ordo Watch did not begin as a sedevacantist web site but as one subscribing to the more mainstream traditionalist “recognize-and-resist” position. It took about a year before the switch to Sedevacantism was made, a position held and defended here ever since.

Every convert since the 1960s has his own story of how he came to find pre-Vatican II Roman Catholicism, that is, the authentic Catholicism everyone identified as such before the Second Vatican Council (1962-65). … READ MORE

Muslim Politician given Novus Ordo Eucharist at ‘Catholic Congress’ in Germany

The 102nd edition of the notorious German Katholikentag (“Catholic Congress”) is currently underway in the city of Stuttgart. The official web site has a section for English speakers here.

The Katholikentag (pronounced cut-oh-LEAK-un-tuhg) has genuinely Catholic origins in the 1800s, but since at least 1968 it has been an insufferable sewer of anti-Catholic ideas and rebellion against God’s order. At this point it is an utter cesspool of Modernism, Indifferentism, feminism, Marxism, environmentalism, sexual immorality, and liturgical chaos — to be outdone only by its Lutheran counterpart.… READ MORE

And now, the Environmental Stations of the Cross…

A “better world” and all that: It turns out that the Novus Ordo Church is already dedicated to the themes of the World Economic Forum. What an incredible coincidence, huh? And now a Vatican official at Davos is confirming that they’re implementing the World Economic Forum agenda.

As the Modernists like to tell us again and again, Vatican II and the liturgical revolution were needed so that Catholic churches wouldn’t end up becoming mere museums. Well, better museums than circuses, kindergartens, music festivals, fashion shows, dens of perversion, and whatever this is.… READ MORE

Building Paradise on Earth: Francis’ Message for World Day of Migrants

Eternal Beatitude in Heaven is overrated…

Building Paradise on Earth:
Francis’ Message for World Day of Migrants


Dead serious: Club Bergoglio claims God has entrusted humanity with the building of an earthly paradise

The Vatican has released Jorge Bergoglio’s message for this year’s World Day of Migrants and Refugees, to be observed on Sep. 25, 2022. Bergoglio is the Argentinian apostate who stars as “Pope Francis” in the ongoing Modernist circus in Vatican City that began when Cardinal Angelo Roncalli presented himself as “Pope John XXIII” in 1958.

Unlike fundamental theology, philanthropy is something Bergoglio gets really excited about. Unfortunately, this false pope has the bad habit of misusing legitimate humanitarian concerns to advance an apostate Naturalist agenda, an agenda that is utterly destructive of Catholic Supernaturalism at its very root.… READ MORE

Pope Pius IX’s Syllabus of LEFEBVRIST Errors (1873)

The little-known Encyclical ‘Quartus Supra’…

Pope Pius IX’s Syllabus of LEFEBVRIST Errors (1873)

On January 6, 1873, the magnificent Pope Pius IX published the encyclical letter Quartus Supra. It is addressed to “Our Venerable Brothers Anthony Peter IX, Patriarch of Cilicia, and the Archbishops, Bishops, Clergy and Laity, Our Beloved Children of the Armenian Rite Who are in Loving Communion with the Apostolic See.”

This beautiful magisterial text concerns the threat of an emerging schism in the Armenian church and refutes the specious argumentation brought forward by those trying to justify their disobedience while still claiming to be loyal subjects of the Pope.… READ MORE

If Vatican II had published a Document on the Devil, this is how it would read…

Parody of Vatican II declaration ‘Nostra Aetate’…

If Vatican II had published a Document on the Devil, this is how it would read…

Probably the most shocking of all the 16 documents of the bogus Second Vatican Council (1962-65) is its “Declaration on the Relation of the Church to Non-Christian Religions”. Taken from the first words of the original Latin text, it bears the title Nostra Aetate, which basically means “in our age” or “in our time”.

Although the declaration is uncharacteristically short, it contains frightful errors and ambiguities evidently at odds with the pre-conciliar Catholic magisterium. Among them is the claim that “in Hinduism, men contemplate the divine mystery and express it through an inexhaustible abundance of myths and through searching philosophical inquiry.… READ MORE

Francis warns: Don’t Commit the “Sin of Going Backwards”!

‘Moving forward’ at all costs…

Francis warns: Don’t Commit the “Sin of Going Backwards”!

In an interview book published in French on Sep. 6, 2017, the Jesuit apostate Jorge Bergoglio (“Pope Francis”) told the journalist Dominique Wolton: “The least serious sins are the sins of the flesh.”

No doubt that came as a great relief to a world that is enslaved by sins against the Sixth and Ninth Commandments. Although our Blessed Lord taught that even a lustful gaze is already a violation of God’s law (see Mt 5:27-28), and Our Lady of Fatima said that the primary reason souls go to hell is the sins of the flesh, the man who falsely claims to be the Pope of the Catholic Church is not terribly worried about such sins.… READ MORE

False Forgiveness: Bergoglio promotes Feelings-Based Theology in Sermon for Divine Mercy Sunday

In the Roman rite of the Catholic Church, the first Sunday after Easter is traditionally known as Low Sunday, White Sunday, or Quasimodo Sunday. This year, it fell on April 24.

In the Vatican II Sect, it has been known as “Divine Mercy Sunday” since 2000 on account of the suspect and dangerous Divine Mercy devotion that was allegedly revealed to Sister Faustina Kowalska (1905-1938). Although it was condemned in 1959 along with pictures and writings promoting it, the devotion was later rehabilitated and promoted especially by “Pope” John Paul II, who “canonized” Sr.… READ MORE

Francis to Vatican Ecumenists: Catholics need Protestants!


Seated in a wheelchair, Francis speaks on May 6, 2022

These are tough times for Catholic Answers and Novus Ordo apologists in general, because the utter theological rubbish that constantly emanates from the apostate mouth of Jorge Bergoglio (“Pope Francis”) simply defies belief.

A great example is found in the speech the false pope gave to the participants at the plenary meeting for the so-called Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity this past Friday.

The full text has been released by the Vatican in both English and the original Italian, and it is loaded with fireworks:

This address came on the heels of another incredible statement the pseudo-pope made to the Eastern Orthodox patriarch of Moscow recently, namely: “We are Shepherds of the Same Holy Flock of God”.… READ MORE

In Message to ‘LGBTQ Catholics’, Francis confirms Aberrosexuals in their ‘Identity’

Bergoglio rattles the cage again…

In Message to ‘LGBTQ Catholics’,
Francis confirms Aberrosexuals in their ‘Identity’

On May 1, 2022, the Jesuit hellboy Rev. James Martin launched a new web site called “Outreach”. It is to serve as a resource for so-called “LGBTQ Catholics”, where each letter in the acronym stands for a different kind of sexual aberration. It’s the alphabetical version of the perverts’ rainbow, one might say.

As the adherents of this infernal ideology seek to gain social acceptance for ever more perversions, the alphabet string increases accordingly, which is why what started out as LGBT has since expanded to at least LGBTQi+ and who knows what else at this point — this is not the type of thing you want to look up.… READ MORE
