Young Novus Ordos in Poland celebrate their Festival of Life every summer…

Finally, someone has the guts to say it! ‘Pope’ Francis highlights the social value of the game of checkers.

Looks like the Vatican II Church in Belgium will be dead by 2045 at the latest. But fear not, with Francis’ scheduled trip there in September, it might go faster!

All that Vatican II joy is hard to contain: Meet the ‘new’ Franciscans of Brazil.

Why is the international media silent on this ‘Monster Bishop’ protected by Francis?… READ MORE

Francis in Interview: Some Only Accept the Popes up to Pius XII, Not the Popes After!

The Rev. Pedro Chia, S.J., is director of the press office of the Chinese Province of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits).

On May 24, 2024, he had the misfortune of interviewing the Argentinian apostate Jorge Bergoglio — under his stage name ‘Pope Francis’ — in the Apostolic Palace in the Vatican. The full video of the brief, 15-minute conversation was released today, Aug. 9, on YouTube.

Early on in the interview, ‘Fr.’ Chia asks Francis how he deals with stress, with problems in the Church, with criticism, and with opposition from others.… READ MORE

Response to an article by Robert Morrison…

True Catholic Church or Diabolical Counter-Church?
Analyzing The Remnant‘s Absurd Theology

Robert Morrison is currently one of The Remnant‘s most prolific writers

On July 30, 2024, the semi-traditionalist recognize-and-resist publication The Remnant once again released an article by its columnist Robert Morrison that purports to offer traditional Catholic guidance to help people cut through the confusion of our times:

In actual fact, however, the write-up accomplishes no such thing. Rather, one is reminded of a warning given by Our Lord, to wit: “Let them alone: they are blind, and leaders of the blind.… READ MORE

A Week Late, Vatican Releases Milquetoast Statement on Olympics Blasphemy

A week after the shameful, abominable, and deliberately blasphemous performance mocking the Last Supper as part of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Paris on July 26, 2024, the Vatican has finally also weighed in by releasing a press statement of sorts.

A statement ‘of sorts’ is really all one can call it, for the text released does not even try to be anything so serious as a condemnation. The following three sentences is all the Vatican Press Office had to offer:

The Holy See was saddened by certain scenes during the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games and can only join the voices that have been raised in recent days to deplore the offence caused to many Christians and believers of other religions.

Flirting more and more with heresy…

Peter Kwasniewski Laments Heretical Book Denying Papal Infallibility Is Out Of Print

The liturgical scholar and retired philosophy professor Dr. Peter Kwasniewski continues on his unholy theological trajectory that will eventually take him to an explicit denial of the First Vatican Council (1869-1870) and worse. In a recent social media post, the prolific professor indirectly promoted an explicitly heretical book by lamenting its out-of-print status.

The work in question is Origins of Papal Infallibility, 1150-1350 by English medieval scholar and historian Brian Tierney (1922-2019). It was first published by E. J. Brill in the Netherlands in 1972.… READ MORE

Talkative Bergoglio Shamefully SILENT on Olympic Blasphemy

By now, everyone has heard about the incredibly vile and utterly Satanic mockery of the Last Supper that took place on July 26, 2024, as part of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games currently underway in Paris, France.

It was surely no accident that about 24 hours later, Paris suffered an electric blackout which only left the Basilica of the Sacred Heart (Sacré-Cœur) illuminated.

A number of Novus Ordo prelates and personalities quickly weighed in on the matter, although in different ways.… READ MORE

TRADCAST 038 (26 JUL 2024)

Contents

  • Segment 1 — The Vatican’s new guidelines for discerning alleged apparitions and mystical phenomena. Eric Sammons and that pesky question of whether Francis professes the Catholic Faith. The Remnant promotes Pope Pius IX’s encyclical Qui Pluribus but rejects its teaching on the Papacy.

Can the Vatican ban the Traditional Latin Mass? A misleading Crisis Magazine article and ‘Bp.’

Refuting a popular but false narrative…

Taylor Marshall and Quo Primum: Did Pope St. Pius V Really Grant a Perpetual Right to the Traditional Mass?

There are a number of urban legends floating around the traditionalist Catholic world that simply will not die.

One of the more popular ones is the claim that in his 1570 bull Quo Primum, Pope St. Pius V granted to all Catholic priests of the Roman rite the perpetual right to offer Holy Mass according to the rite he was then promulgating, which is today known as the Traditional Latin Mass; and that no subsequent Pope has the authority to withdraw that permission or revoke that right.… READ MORE

Novus Ordo ‘Bicycle Mass’ Entertains Young and Old

Ridin’ high at the Novus Ordo ‘Bike Mass’ on July 13, 2024

Aichach is a small town in Germany about 30 miles northwest of Munich. Its main Novus Ordo church is dedicated to the Assumption of Mary (Mariä Himmelfahrt) and is also known as the Stadtpfarrkirche (city parish church). It is a gorgeous building in the style of a late-Gothic basilica.

Chances are you would have never heard of the town or the church in your life — were it not for the creativity of the ‘Catholic priest’ there and our efforts at continually ‘watching’ the Novus Ordo circus.… READ MORE

Even the all-holy Mother of God is still only a creature…

Francis Calls Virgin Mary the ‘Maternal Face of God’

The Argentinian apostate Jorge Bergoglio — aka ‘Pope’ Francis — loves to introduce heresy, error, blasphemy, idolatry, tension, and confusion, no matter from what direction, or even from opposite directions at more or less the same time. As long as something is wrong or confusing, he has no problem with it!

We see this again today, when the Vatican released a ‘papal’ message dated June 29, 2024, for the 1,500th anniversary of the image of Saint Mary in Portico to the rector general of the Order of Clerics Regular of the Mother of God, the false pontiff remarked:

I urge you to look to Mary as a sign of consolation and sure hope, the maternal face of God and a dwelling place of refuge: indeed, she continually gives Her Son as the sole source of concord, hope of salvation, way for peace, absolute imperative of the human quest.

Friend or Foe?
Some Unresolved Questions Regarding ‘Abp.’ Viganò

A lot of attention has recently fallen on the former Vatican nuncio to the United States, ‘Archbishop’ Carlo Maria Viganò (b. 1941), who was excommunicated from the Vatican II Church for schism earlier this month after repeatedly attacking the errors of Vatican II and the post-conciliar magisterium and challenging the legitimacy of Jorge Bergoglio’s claim to the Papacy:

Based on his writings in the last few years, it seems clear that Vigano has publicly embraced a position of, or one very close to, classical Sedevacantism, which rejects the Vatican II religion and holds that the ‘Popes’ who promulgated it have been impostors.… READ MORE

The Mystical Passion of the Church:
Dreadful Reality vs. Delusive Counterfeit

Before our Blessed Lord ascended into Heaven to sit at the Right Hand of the Father until His return in glory, He warned His disciples:

Take heed that no man seduce you: For many will come in my name saying, I am Christ: and they will seduce many….

And many false prophets shall rise, and shall seduce many. And because iniquity hath abounded, the charity of many shall grow cold. But he that shall persevere to the end, he shall be saved.

Bergoglio the Naturalist: If You Think Anointing of the Sick is Only for the Dying, You’ve Given Up Hope!

For years we’ve been pointing out that ‘Pope’ Francis (Jorge Bergoglio) is a Naturalist. The supernatural is typically not his primary concern, and often it is of no concern at all to him. Although he does verbally admit the supernatural on occasion, he is often quick to downplay it, or he misappropriates it to serve his ideological agenda.

We see this, for example, when the apostate Jesuit from Buenos Aires speaks about the Last Judgment.… READ MORE

‘Church Meets Soccer’ in diocese of Münster…

Public Screening of Live Soccer Match in German Church

The European Soccer Championship, which is held once every four years, is a big deal for Germans. It is an even bigger deal in 2024, for this time around — from June 14 through July 14 — the Land of Luther is itself the host nation for the popular European tournament.

Since watching sports in the company of others is a lot more fun than doing so all by oneself, one ‘Catholic’ church in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia had a brilliant idea, perhaps in the spirit of promoting a ‘culture of encounter’: getting people together to watch the quarter final on July 5, in which Germany takes on Spain.… READ MORE
