The Germans Retain the Incorrect Words of Consecration

German-speaking liturgists are preparing another revision of the Novus Ordo Missal.

It will be recalled that Benedict XVI requested that the phrase "pro multis" be translated as "for many" rather than "for all." This appears unacceptable to the Germans, as well as to all those who blindly follow the "todos, todos, todos" ("everyone, everyone, everyone") trend favored by Bergoglio. It is yet another betrayal of the Ratzingerian legacy—a legacy that dared to confront the modernists. A.S.

Burke’s Conclave Dinner and the Price of Catholic Cowardice

Conservative cardinals reportedly helped elect Prevost. A year later, Rome turns away traditional pilgrims.

In this article by Chris Jackson—a piece that is simultaneously well-informed and completely wide of the mark—we find confirmation of a shocking development: the outcome of the 2025 conclave was allegedly settled over a dinner hosted by Cardinal Burke. It should be recalled that Burke is arguably one of the (true) cardinals most conversant with the Magna Quaestio. Instead of defending the rights of the Apostolic See—as Universi Dominici Gregis mandates him to do—he has chosen to trade them away in exchange for liturgical concessions. The munus in exchange for Latin! 'Conservatives' are sorely misguided to place their trust in such traitors, who, by this very act, incur latae sententiae excommunication (UDG, no. 81).

Fatima’s Warning, 109 Years Later: The Crisis in Rome and the Promise of Our Lady

On the anniversary of the Miracle of the Sun, the message of October 13, 1917 speaks with extraordinary urgency to a Church suffering doctrinal confusion under Leo XIV.

Leo XIV Calls False Religions “Fruitful” and Tells Their Followers to Guard Them

Metz crowns the interfaith project as Barcelona hosts a shamanic ritual, and Hollerich calls decline “healing”.

Let us humbly acknowledge that Leo XIV’s journey is an almost total success: together with the bishops of France, he has rallied all the vital forces of French Catholicism around himself, gently steering them toward the synodal-pagan catastrophe. Metz represents something of a culmination: anything said or enacted that runs counter to the timeless faith goes down very smoothly when sweetened by the syrup of a *Salve Regina* sung by the crowd of young people at the Stade de France.

Leo XIV Baptizes the Murderous French Revolution: Says Liberty, Equality, Fraternity, are “Universal Ethical Imperatives”

Leo also praised the anti-Catholic French Enlightenment for recognizing “Human Rights.” Meanwhile, Rome describes the Church as a “movement,” and a German theologian describes Islam as Christianity.

On July 17, 1794, sixteen Carmelite nuns were taken through the streets of Paris to the guillotine. Their crime was fidelity to their religious vocation. Expelled from their monastery, they had continued living their rule as best they could. When the revolutionary authorities finally arrested them, they were condemned and executed. They sang hymns on their way to the scaffold. (Excerpts from Chris Jackson's long article)

Spin, Taylor, Spin: Taylor Marshall Discovers Papal Obedience; Asks Francis’ Intercession!

He once suggested the SSPX might need twelve new bishops. Weeks later four were too many. Now Leo gets endless benefit of the doubt, resistance has become rebellion, and he asks Francis’ intercession.

Leo Approves Vatican Text: Proselytism “No Longer Makes Sense; Calls for “Shared Search For Truth” With False Religions; Admits Vatican II Was a “Profound Change” in the Church’s Understanding

Also, Rome promotes a seminary rector dogged by formation controversies, a Peruvian seminarian describes a Church hollowed out by synodality, and Lyon turns Sunday Mass into a praise-show spectacle.

Leo’s Pontifical Academy for Life: Catholics Can Morally Assent to “Imperfect Laws” Allowing Assisted Suicide

Meanwhile, a communist-friendly bishop for China, a rainbow synod in Kraków, women religious helping choose bishops, and “Many Paths” interfaith religion in Goa.

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

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.
