Secret

The Vatican and "The Smoke of Satan"

Now: The Persecution of Father Ripperger

In 1972, Paul VI’s enthusiasm for a Council that was meant to renew the Church had long since evaporated, and during a homily he delivered words that shook the entire world: he said he had the feeling that “from some crack, the smoke of Satan has entered the temple of God.” Many may have thought: “But this is surely an exaggeration!” The Church is One, Holy, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it (Mt 16:18). It is true that the gates of hell shall not prevail against the Church, but they can persecute and oppress it to the point of rendering it unrecognizable.

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).

Three warnings

We were warned about the present storm. These signs we cannot ignore.

Adoration vs. Profanation.

“Eucharistic Adoration is the secret that will transform the world.” (Saint John Paul II)

«For our struggle is not against creatures of blood and flesh, but against the Principalities and the Powers, against the rulers of this world of darkness, against the spirits of evil that dwell in the heavenly regions.» (Eph 6:12)

The Apparition of Our Lady of La Salette

Fatima and La Salette

Today is the anniversary of Our Lady’s apparition at La Salette, France, high in the French Alps, on September 19, 1846, to two cow-herding children, Mélanie Calvat and Maximin Giraud.
