CATHOLICS NEED TO EXERCISE DUE DILIGENCE

The lives of their children are at stake

Oops!… Leo Did It Again

Every single time you think it can’t get any worse, it does.

Francis-Bergoglio and the Synodal Manipulation of Saint Francis of Assisi

By: A (ex)perplexed Catholic

The EU’s Desperate Plan Against Russia and the Vatican’s Rapprochement with Moscow

In Moscow last Wednesday, Western commentators were left dumbfounded, if not outright enraged.

Synodalism Marches On: Martyrs Need Not Apply

To be "written in blood," meant (and still means) to make binding. God himself called the New Testament, written in His blood, an everlasting testament.

Leo Builds the Pink Vatican Francis Designed

Female prefects now govern religious orders and help choose bishops. Mallorca stages dance inside the Assumption liturgy while Belgium sends Rome a Pride-marching ambassador.

Italian headline writers have been reaching for the phrase so often that it has become almost tedious. Still, they have seen something many Catholic commentators prefer to soften. A structural change is underway in Rome, and Leo has spent the first fifteen months of his reign making it durable

Interview: Former priest talks about his excommunication

Canyon Lake priest John Mary Foster discusses the reasons behind his excommunication and his refusal to appeal the decision.

We resume this interview with Fr. John Mary Foster of the 'Mission of Divine Mercy' in Texas, who was excommunicated for daring to declare 'Francis' and 'Leo' to be usurpers. It is abundantly clear that the canonical sanctions imposed on Fr. Foster and his community hold no validity before God, given that the current false pontificate possesses no legitimacy—and therefore no authority.

China Chooses Bishops, LGBT Activists Cheer Leo, the Novus Ordo Becomes “Living Tradition,” a Mason Gets a Catholic Funeral, & Leo Gives Lutherans a “Shared Mission.” Meanwhile, the SSPX is in Schism.

Rome’s new rule of communion is clear: doctrinal rupture earns dialogue and promotion, while Catholics who preserve the old Faith receive censures and excommunication.

The Pachamama Church Prepares for Leo XIV

A Vatican doctrinal official offered coca leaves to Mother Earth in Cusco. Francis defended her idols. Robert Prevost once knelt inside her rite. Vatican media buried the evidence.

Unbroken: News from the Church in China

One sentence in a popular Qing dynasty book by the Manchu novelist, Wen Kang (文康, fl. 1850) describes China’s Catholics today. “Bend a hundred times but never break (百折不撓)!”1

Sitting in the room with Chinese priests and nuns is always an exercise of patient listening and reading between the lines. Sometimes—it is not typically characteristic of Chinese culture to speak directly—someone is blunt. That is when I sit up.

Synodality Will Kill Catholicism

The Catholic Church has always distinguished itself from other Christian bodies by its claim to possess, and be bound by, a deposit of faith handed down from the Apostles. The Church comes from Christ, and the Church doesn’t invent, revise, or vote on its Magisterium, its authoritative application of that depositum fidei. It receives, guards, and transmits that ancient faith. Doctrine can develop in the sense that St. John Henry Newman described it, growing in clarity and application, as an acorn becomes an oak tree. But it cannot be renegotiated – or reversed! – by majority sentiment or contemporary enthusiasm.

The mosaics of shame embarrass Pope Leo

In Lourdes, Rupnik’s mosaics on the façade of the Basilica will be permanently covered. Is there an ongoing conflict? One thing is certain: Prevost will meet abuse victims—though not those of the former Jesuit

Correction: Marko Rupnik’s mosaics in Lourdes are to be permanently covered. Bishop of Tarbes and Lourdes Jean-Marc Micas has refuted the rector of the Rosary Basilica Michel Daubanes, who three weeks ago had announced that the mosaics of the former abusive Jesuit would be covered only for the days of the Pope’s visit on 26 and 27 September.
