Why is the world going insane? The enemy knows that by assaulting the principles of truth then everything that flows from them will be disordered in the minds of men. Spreading lies about “the Beginning” (Gen 1:1; Jn 1:1) obscures God our Creator as well as human nature, engendering fatal deceptions about evolution, transgenderism and transhumanism. So much that is bleak in society and the Church can be readily repaired and brought back to life by a recuperation of sound metaphysics — namely, the awesome insights of Aristotle and St Thomas Aquinas. Presenting their teaching, The Metaphysics of Love — Reality as the Way to Life, will be published later this month (November), Deo volente.
"When a bishop of such rank calls sexual sin a “right” under papal blessing, the heresy becomes institutional. The rainbow cross carried through the church was not a plea for mercy but a banner of conquest. The revolution no longer asks permission from Rome; it celebrates Mass on her altars while the Vatican’s silence functions as the new imprimatur."
"The irony of Leo’s pontificate is that while he denounces “clericalism” and “rigidity,” he presides over the most clerical and rigid cult of papal personality in history. His theologians rewrite dogma; his apologists applaud; his bishops close churches; and his priests lose the Faith in real time; all under the banner of “renewal.” But the true renewal is the old one. When Gabriel said “Hail, full of grace,” he did not mean “partially relevant to the work of redemption.” He meant what the Fathers meant: that in her consent, the Word was made flesh. To deny her Co-Redemption is to deny the logic of the Incarnation."
Our blessed Mother is integral to our Catholic faith, and persuaded her Son to perform His first miracle. He appeared to her first (I believe) after His resurrection. He assumed her spotless humanity into Heaven. Any pope who would dare to minimize Her contributions and role in man's salvation does not represent what most Catholics believe. I warned Catholics about this man.He is dangerous to your faith.
"Conservatives from the John Paul II & Benedict XVI era will have to start getting used to the Vatican II revolution they swear was a ‘valid’ council. They are no longer living in the era of Vatican II, but in the end game now (to cite a popular meme). We have already entered the multiverse of Bergoglian synodality where anything & everything goes - everything except authentic, vintage Catholicism (aka Traditional Catholicism) that is."
This is what Traditionis Custodes defended: not tradition, but the custody of chaos. The regime that criminalized the Latin Mass in parish churches now blesses drag homilies on state television. The Novus Ordo was declared “the only form” of the Roman Rite, and the experiment has reached its natural endpoint: a rite so elastic it can absorb heresy, inversion, and mockery without bursting.
Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, to describe a counterfeit church or an anti-church that the Antichrist will establish in the last days. This false church will mimic the external appearance and characteristics of the true Church but will be "emptied of its divine content" and operate in reverse of God's will.
It was the perfect sacrament of the new religion. Words remain on parchment, but practice preaches louder. The modern papacy has discovered that it need not revoke doctrine, it can simply outlive it. The Anglicans once begged for recognition; now Rome flatters them for legitimacy. The ecumenical dream has come true: both sides now agree that truth no longer matters.
It is all one choreography: the velvet glove and the hidden knife. The ancient liturgy is allowed just long enough to reassure the flock that nothing essential has changed, while the machinery that forbids it everywhere else hums quietly in the sacristy.
A Church that claims zero tolerance keeps finding exceptions for its friends. While Rome trumpeted “independent judges” for Marko Ivan Rupnik, the Centro Aletti rolled on like an extraterritorial duchy. Bishops lodged there as if on spiritual holiday. Clergy cycled through for exercises. Then the center paywalled his summer meditation, monetizing the scandal like a museum gift shop at the exit. No precautionary measures. No meaningful restrictions. Only the little people get laicized. The networked get microphones.
"Everyone can recognize masculine conquistadors or racist SS guards as evil because the evil is out in the open. (I don’t even buy the notion that all the Portuguese colonialists 500 years ago were racist since many married Brazilian Indians and Indonesian islanders.) But today, the evils of leftism and feminism kill more people than either of those (do the math) and they keep recruiting people all over the globe because its evil is not only hidden, but occasionally attractive. Think about it: Even Bishop Franceseco Savino (Vice-President of the Italian Bishops’ Conference) admitted that Leo approved of the recent blasphemous LGBT pilgrimage in the Vatican (above) and prior sacrilegious Mass at the Gesú. A few weeks later, Islamic prayer rugs were unfurled for Muslims’ use in the Vatican library. Think Muslims and leftists are strange bedfellows now? They’re not. They’re just both anti-christ and pro-death. That’s their overlap. That’s it."
Why are these psychos being appeased and welcomed by the Vatican….Do we not know that they will never like us or agree with us…The pope is wasting his time, his energy, his influence, his ethics to Kow tow to those so-called leaders who hate God and his creation…wake up!
There is wisdom in refusing the doom-scroll. There is danger in pretending that the wolf disappears when you close your eyes. The laity are not saved by knowing every phrase of the latest encyclical, but they are certainly imperiled when those phrases are used to bulldoze doctrine, suppress the ancient Mass, and re-engineer moral theology at scale. Pray the Rosary. Then keep your sword unsheathed.
The regime just confirmed Josef Grünwidl as archbishop of Vienna: an ecclesiastic publicly sympathetic to the women-“ordination” project, communion for non-Catholics, and the soft demolition of celibacy. Years before this promotion, he was already curating “polyhedral” spirituality: thousands of paper doves strung through a parish nave as an “ecumenical community work,” an airy symbol system where sentiment replaces dogma and aesthetic spectacle papers over doctrinal rupture.
"My earlier article on Dilexi Te offered an immediate assessment of Leo XIV’s first exhortation: the tone, the trajectory, the unmistakable spirit animating it. What follows is the necessary sequel: a closer examination of the document itself and of the theology that underlies it. This essay traces the ways Dilexi Te diverges from the pre-Vatican II Magisterium, and, at points, even from prior post-conciliar theology. The differences reveal how Dilexi Te twists the Catholic understanding of the poor, recasting what was once a supernatural truth about charity and detachment into a new, horizontal ideology built on envy, activism, and social theory."

Wait and see. This will happen more often. But I need to say something. Thank you, our shepherds! Thank you, Burke, Schneider, Muller & Co! And a whole bunch of Trad.inc, thank you too! Thank you for your persistent denial of the main problems, for your silence when you should have thundered, for your great caution when courage is required. Thank you very much that we, who are the flock of God entrusted to you, with the help of your active silence and above all cowardly lukewarmness, have to flee to the hills, scattered everywhere. But not weakened in Faith. On the contrary! The more we are persecuted, the more we are strengthened by the Spirit in Faith. But remember well; who is with God, who can be against Him? And who are you afraid of? What are you afraid of losing? Reputation and comfort? Security and peace? Don't you know that all this is worth nothing to someone who does not truly follow Christ? Christ crucified! So each of you with your own personal cross. You cannot cast off …More
