The leadership of the Catholic Church on earth at this time is dominated by a network of active homosexuals and theological modernists. --Peter Kwasniewski

-- If we have not yet seen positive results from the Council – the famous “conciliar springtime” we were assured was coming – and the present ecclesial disaster is undeniable, then we are told it is because Vatican II has not yet been applied as it should have been: this is what Bergoglio said and what Prevost repeats today.
-- the aim of the modernists is losing souls, not leading them to eternal beatitude. The enemy to be overthrown, in the Luciferian mind of both globalists and modernists, is Christ the King and High Priest, the Lord of All Nations and Lord of the Church.
-- The role of these fifth columns is to provide an apparent and plausible reason that distracts from recognizing the subversive intentions they intend to carry out.
-- If the proponents of the Council were acting in good faith, nothing would prevent them from recognizing the error and remedying it, returning to what has proven effective and valid for millennia.
-- On the modernist front, there is the bad faith of …More

Synodality and watchful waiting

The title of this presentation is a take-off from the protocol entitled “Tylenol and watchful waiting” which the Italian authorities imposed for all people who tested positive for Covid during the psychopandemic. The government ordered hospitals and doctors not to treat cases of pneumonia, limiting themselves to administering Tylenol and waiting for the patients’ conditions to worsen, after which they were admitted to intensive care, sedated, and killed with forced ventilation. The title “Synodality and watchful waiting” therefore draws a parallel between the way the civil authorities maximized the damage from the psychopandemic farce and the way ecclesiastical authorities are managing the post-conciliar crisis.
It is difficult to believe that the cancellation of the quæstio liturgica from the discussions of the first Extraordinary Consistory convened by Leo and the two typewritten pages issued by Cardinal Roche have no correlation. Indeed, one wonders if it was not Leo himself who …

Schism in Germany, Leo XIV’s High-Stakes Game

(Photo credit: CNS)
ROME, 17 January 2026 Pope Leo XIV met Friday with the apostolic nuncio to Germany, Archbishop Nikola Eterović, amid reports that their talks focused on the German bishops’ planned vote to establish a permanent Synodal Conference that would grant laypeople decision-making authority equal to bishops, allow doctrinal changes by majority vote, and place Church finances under shared control.
Writing in Il Giornale this morning, Italian journalist Nico Spuntoni
said it is “inevitable” that the Pope’s meeting with his nuncio to Germany would be “dominated by the imminent vote of the German Bishops’ Conference on the Statutes of the Synodal Conference.”
The vote is scheduled for the bishops’ plenary assembly Feb. 19–22 in Augsburg.
It follows a Nov. 22 meeting in Fulda, where bishops and lay representatives unanimously approved the statutes for a permanent national synodal body composed of bishops, representatives of the Central Committee of German Catholics (ZdK …

Vatican II is no longer being treated as one council received by the Church. It is being treated as the interpretive tribunal before which all other councils must now appear. If something from the past fits the conciliar vocabulary, it may remain. If it resists that vocabulary, it must be “re-read,” “re-framed,” or quietly set aside. This is why the language matters so much.

Bishop Strickland about the fateful council

My Brothers and Sisters In Christ,
A watchman does not cry out every hour of the night. He speaks when something has shifted – when the air itself feels different, when the ground beneath familiar landmarks has begun to move.
What has unfolded in Rome this week is not something to panic over, nor something to ignore. It is something to notice.
There has been a gathering of cardinals occurring – an extraordinary consistory – called not to define doctrine, not to correct grave error, not to defend the altar or clarify confusion, but to reflect, to listen, to converse, and to continue a process.
And the way this gathering was framed tells us far more than any single sentence spoken within it.
From the very beginning, the emphasis was clear: The Church was asked once again to look at herself – and to do so through one particular lens. Not through the accumulated wisdom of councils stretching back to the Apostles. But through the Second Vatican Council, presented not as a chapter in the …More

This bears as much resemblance to Catholicism as a seven-year-old’s birthday party. More woefully, it has as much to do with religion as astrology has to do with astronomy.
But synodality is the most recent in a long line of embarrassing experiments of the past half century. It seems as though the Church’s leaders have one rule: if an experiment has failed because of its absurdity, the next one must be made more absurd.
An older generation of Catholics can bear this out. They must admit an embarrassing familiarity with such lovelies as: Call to Action, Nuns on the Bus, The Archdiocese of Los Angeles Religious Education Congress (still enduring with all the risibility of an octogenarian wheelchair race), Confessional Rooms, Lenten Rice Bowls, The St. Louis Jesuits, Liberation Theology, Seamless Garment and multi-colored clerical shirts.

Acedia - apathy and inactivity in the practice of virtue (personified as one of the deadly sins; sloth).
• This sin of acedia results in a fleeing from God, with the manifestation of conducting business with anything save the things of God. Nothing expresses more accurately the malady of synodality. It flees from the climb to Calvary with any and every activity that bears resemblance to that salvific Hill.

As Venerable Lúcia dos Santos explained, the Blessed Virgin asks for four acts of devotion on the first Saturday of five consecutive months: Confession within about eight days before or after Saturday, with the intention of reparation (some say it can be within 20 days during this jubilee year); Holy Communion (preferably on the first Saturday, but allowed within a day if necessary); praying five decades of the Rosary; and, in addition to the recitation, meditating for 15 minutes on one or more mysteries of the Rosary.

Cardinals Burke and Sarah Back Global Push for First Saturday Devotion at 100 Years

Cardinals Burke and Sarah Back Global Push for First Saturday Devotion at 100 Years
At the centenary of Our Lady’s 1925 request at Pontevedra, Portugal, Cardinals Raymond Burke and Robert Sarah highlight the need for reparation to her Immaculate Heart.
Cardinals Raymond Burke and Robert Sarah are among senior prelates urging greater participation in the First Saturday Devotion and are backing an initiative that originated in France, aimed at encouraging the faithful to take part.
The Marian devotion, which is centered on making reparation for offenses and blasphemies against Mary’s Immaculate Heart that include denying her perpetual virginity or the Immaculate Conception, promises two immense graces for those who participate with true devotion and repentance: Our Lady’s assistance at the hour of death with all the graces necessary for salvation, and peace on earth.
The 100th anniversary of the devotion is Dec. 10. To mark its centenary, the “Alliance of the First Saturdays of Fatima”…

USCCB urges Catholics to pray to St. Joseph for end of taxpayer-funded abortion - LifeSite

(LifeSiteNews) — The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has asked the faithful to invoke the intercession of St. Joseph, Defender of Life
In a July 24 announcement, the USCCB emphasized that people should not be forced to pay for the killing of unborn children or the facilities that murder them and encouraged Catholics to say a prayer to St. Joseph, Defender of Life, each day leading up to October 1, the first day of Respect Life Month.
The U.S. bishops’ announcement comes after a federal judge blocked part of President Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (BBB) that bans federal tax dollars going through Medicaid to any organization that commits abortions for reasons other than rape, incest, or supposed threats to the mother’s life for one year.
“Americans should not be forced to pay for the killing of preborn children or fund the clinics that kill them,” the statement said. “The USCCB Committee on Pro-Life Activities is inviting Catholics to join a focused …

“the Prince of this world,” whose business it is to tell us that there is no other world. His logic is simple: if there is no heaven there is no hell; if there is no hell, then there is no sin; if there is no sin, then there is no judge, and if there is no judgment then evil is good and good is evil. -- Bishop Fulton Sheen, 'Communism and the Conscience of the West'

Fulton Sheen in 1948: "Satan will set up Counter-Church"

The Antichrist will not be so called; otherwise he would have no followers. He will not wear red tights, nor vomit sulphur, nor carry a trident nor wave an arrowed tail as Mephistopheles in
Nowhere in Sacred Scripture do we find warrant for the popular myth of the Devil as a buffoon who is dressed like the first “red.” Rather is he described as an angel fallen from heaven, as “the Prince of this world,” whose business it is to tell us that there is no other world. His logic is simple: if there is no heaven there is no hell; if there is no hell, then there is no sin; if there is no sin, then there is no judge, and if there is no judgment then evil is good and good is evil. But above all these descriptions, Our Lord tells us that he will be so much like Himself that he would deceive even the elect — and certainly no devil ever seen in picture books could deceive even the elect. How will he come in this new age to win followers to his religion?

The Synodal church.

Denis Efimov

"There will be a Counterfeit Church. Christ's Church, the Catholic Church will be one, and the False Prophet will create the other. The False Church will be worldly, ecumenical, and global. It will be a loose federation of churches and religions, forming some type of global association, a world parliament of Churches. It will be emptied of all Divine content; it will be the mystical body of the Antichrist. The Mystical Body on earth today will have its Judas Iscariot, and he will be the False Prophet. Satan will recruit him from our bishops." (Fulton J. Sheen, Communism and the Conscience of the West, Bobbs-Merrill Company, Indianapolis, (1948), pp. 24-25).

Cesar Chavez Day commemorations should highlight the labor leader's Catholic faith - LifeSite

LifeSiteNews) — March 31 is officially recognized as Cesar Chavez Day in ten states. Streets, schools, and parks across the country are named after Chavez. He is featured on a stamp in the U.S. Postal Service’s “Great Americans” series.
These are fitting tributes for the labor leader and civil rights activist who co-founded the United Farm Workers (UFW). The union used nonviolent strikes and consumer boycotts to improve working and living conditions for Mexican American and other farm workers beginning in the 1960s.
But 32 years after Chavez’s death, commemorations will downplay how his public and private lives were rooted in his Catholic faith. That’s not surprising in an increasingly de-Christianized America, where violence and mayhem have become the hallmarks of the leftist movement for social justice.
Cesario Estrada Chavez was born near Yuma, Arizona, in 1927 to parents from Mexico who had acquired a 160-acre ranch through the Homestead Act. He credited his mother and grandmother …
