Bergoglio and the Prosperity Gospel: An Assessment

Of course, he’s against it… isn’t he?

Bergoglio and the Pro$perity Gospel:
An Assessment

Rich man, poor man — Self-proclaimed billionaire televangelist Kenneth Copeland leads “Pope” Francis the Humble in prayer at the Vatican on June 24, 2014. The ecumenical encounter took place during a three-hour meeting with a delegation of Protestants, including a luncheon at Santa Marta Inn. (image: kcm.org/fair use)

Prosperity theology (sometimes referred to as the prosperity gospel, the health-and-wealth gospel, the gospel of success, or seed faith) is a religious belief among some Protestant Christians that financial blessing and physical well-being are always the will of God for them, and that faith, positive speech, and donations to religious causes will increase one’s material wealth.

Novus Ordo Parish blasphemes Our Lady as “Mother of Pride”

St. Paul’s church in Lexington, KY

Novus Ordo Parish blasphemes Our Lady as “Mother of Pride”

All are welcome at St. Paul’s — except for actual Catholics, we suspect…

The “Roman Catholic church” of St. Paul in Lexington, Kentucky, is a paragon of everything that is wrong with the Novus Ordo Church, especially under Francis. A quick perusal of its web site and its Facebook page reveals quite clearly what matters most to the false Catholics occupying that traditional church building, and it’s not Catholicism.

The picture shown above is used by this “faith community” as its Facebook banner. It is a testimony to the fact that just about every aberrant sexual inclination a person could possibly have is celebrated and affirmed at this parish (or perish?).… READ MORE

Pope or Antipope? “Fr.” John Hunwicke and the Case of Felix II

A victim of his own panache…

Pope or Antipope?
“Fr.” John Hunwicke and the Case of Felix II

The English Novus Ordo presbyter John Hunwicke is once again outdoing himself on his Mutual Enrichment blog. In a post published Aug. 9, 2020, entitled, “Holy Antipopes, pray for us”, the convert from Anglicanism can barely contain his excitement with regard to what he calls “the Mysterious Affair of Pope Felix II”.

In a style reminiscent of a child who’s just found a big box of candies and knows Momma isn’t looking, “Fr.” Hunwicke revels in a discovery he’s made that he apparently thinks is a tremendous blow to sedevacantists, to Francis, or to both.… READ MORE

Blasphemous Crucifix at Oklahoma Novus Ordo Parish

“An enemy hath done this” (Mt 13:28)…

Blasphemous Crucifix
at Oklahoma Novus Ordo Parish

Our Blessed Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is mercilessly mocked and blasphemed in a “Crucifix” that is permanently on display at St. Matthew’s “Catholic” Church in Elk City, Oklahoma.

There isn’t much that needs to be said. The photos speak for themselves. (Click on each image for a larger version.)

We do not know who is ultimately the source of these photos, but we got them from this tweet by user James Aubrey Goins.

Although there is no photo of this abominable mockery of the Crucifixion of Our Blessed Lord on the church’s web site, it can be seen in a YouTube video released by the parish on Holy Thursday 2020.… READ MORE

In case you were wondering why God is punishing the world…

Vatican drops God to reach wider audience. Only focusing on the essentials now, eh? At least they haven’t abandoned Mother Earth yet!

Cancel Church: London “Catholic” school fires teacher for saying Mohammed was a “False Prophet”. What do you expect from a Modernist sect that is itself guided by a false prophet? “For there shall arise false Christs and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders, insomuch as to deceive (if possible) even the elect” (Mt 24:24).

Speaking of false prophets: Francis sends message to Medjugorje adherents.… READ MORE

Antonio Spadaro on Francis: “Any Kind of Narcissism is Infinitely Far from Him”

He’s been fooling millions!

Antonio Spadaro on Francis:
“Any Kind of Narcissism is Infinitely Far from Him”

One of Jorge Bergoglio’s most loyal admirers in the Vatican is the Rev. Antonio Spadaro, S.J. He is the editor-in-chief of the formerly Catholic Jesuit periodical (now Modernist rag) La Civiltà Cattolica. It was he who got the pseudo-pope’s first written interview, in September of 2013, and he has been carrying the water for his boss from the beginning. In 2017, Spadaro captured the limelight in the international press by accusing conservative religious voters in the U.S. of an “ecumenism of hate”.… READ MORE

Benedict XVI “Seriously Ill” since Return from Bavaria, biographer reports after meeting with him

Case of severely painful facial shingles

Benedict XVI “Seriously Ill” since Return from Bavaria, biographer reports after meeting with him

Benedict XVI on Sep. 22, 2012

[LAST UPDATE: 03-AUG-2020 17:07 UTC]

The German regional newspaper Passauer Neue Presse reports this morning that the 93-year-old “Pope Emeritus” Benedict XVI (Fr. Joseph Ratzinger), is “seriously ill” and that he has designated his final resting place. The source for this report is highly credible: It is Peter Seewald, Ratzinger’s long-time biographer and interview partner.

Seewald told the newspaper that ever since his return to Rome after a brief visit to his dying brother Georg this past June, Benedict has been suffering from facial shingles (Gesichtsrose), which is “accompanied by bouts of severe pain.”… READ MORE

No Bishop Pfeiffer: Feeneyite Fails at Attempt to Consecrate Bishop for SSPX-Resistance

Bp. Neal Webster mangles the essential words necessary for validity

Big news out of Boston, Kentucky: This past Wednesday, July 29, 2020, Bp. Neal Webster consecrated Fr. Joseph Pfeiffer a bishop for the SSPX-resistance. That, at least, is the official story. The truth is a bit more complicated.

But first, a little bit of context.

The Society of St. Pius X is a priestly society founded by Abp. Marcel Lefebvre (1905-1991) with the approval of the local Novus Ordo bishop in Fribourg, Switzerland, in 1970.… READ MORE

New Churches for a New Religion:
Welcome to “Most Holy Trinity Church” in Austria

What do you mean, your mind isn’t raised to heavenly things?!

In the toxic theological wasteland known as the “New Springtime” of Vatican II, it is difficult to determine just which Novus Ordo “Catholic” church is the absolutely worst piece of sculptural garbage out there. However, the building officially known as Most Holy Trinity Church in Austria’s capital of Vienna is definitely among the top ten.

The picture above really speaks for itself; and although it only shows one side of the building, the rest of the monstrous edifice doesn’t get any better.… READ MORE

“In Bread and Wine He Gives Himself Entirely”: Old Ratzinger Sermon denies Transubstantiation

A few months ago, the Novus Ordo publisher Ignatius Press released a collection of sermons by the Modernist theologian Fr. Joseph Ratzinger, the man more commonly known today as “Pope Emeritus” Benedict XVI. The compendium is called Signs of New Life: Homilies on the Church’s Sacraments and was edited by “Fr.” Manuel Schlögl. It contains an introduction by “Bp.” Stefan Oster of Passau. The original German edition (Zeichen des neuen Lebens) was published in 2018.

In a glowing review of the book, “Fr.”… READ MORE

Busted! How Taylor Marshall distorts what Paul VI really said about Vatican II

Abysmal research meets poor argumentation: Marshall holds up a copy of his book Infiltration in a July 16, 2020 video

Dr. Taylor Marshall has been busy cranking out YouTube videos and promoting his bestselling hack job Infiltration: The Plot to Destroy the Church from Within (2019). How much his research and analysis are worth, can be seen in one of his latest clips.

After a recent flare-up in controversies about the apostate fake Second Vatican Council (1962-65), Marshall released a 66-minute video entitled “Does Vatican II Contain Error?… READ MORE

On Disobeying the Pope: Comments on a recent ‘One Peter Five’ Article

Return of an old straw man…

On Disobeying the Pope:
Comments on a recent One Peter Five Article

“Can a Catholic Ever Disobey a Pope?” That is the question currently being asked at One Peter Five. An article by that title was posted on July 17, 2020, written by Paul Casey.

The author begins by claiming:

“No one is ever allowed to disobey the pope. Period.”

The statement is made repeatedly on social media, usually in an attempt to end a debate. It’s taken as a given. No sources cited, no documentation provided. It’s merely assumed. It is, after all, obvious.

Utterly Revolting: Vatican ‘Archbishop’ Paglia retweets Picture of Naked Adults with Naked Children

Utterly revolting…

Vatican “Abp.” Vincenzo Paglia retweets Picture of Naked Adults with Naked Children

Some stories are so disgusting that one absolutely detests having to blog about them. This is one of them.

This morning, the Vatican’s president of the so-called Pontifical Academy for Life, “Abp.” Vincenzo Paglia, sent a message on the social media platform Twitter that includes an image showing a nude man and a nude woman lying on the floor, surrounded by four nude little children.

The conservative Novus Ordo web site Life Site covers the story in a news article by Anthony Murdoch and Pete Baklinski:

The tweet in question did not originate with Paglia; he “merely” retweeted it and commented on it.… READ MORE
