Everyone knows it -- Newchurch even admits it -- the New Order sect has done a lousy job of catechizing its members, many of whom have no idea what the Catholic Church teaches. But Newchurchers (wrongly) thought that their Newhierarchs had this knowledge. Now it turns out that even Newpope Francis-Bergoglio is so shockingly ignorant of Catholic theology that Newvatican has quickly had to retract his statement bearing the odor of heresy.
At his general audience on May 22, 2013, Bergoglio shocked even Newchurchers when he seemed to indicate that atheists were just as likely to go to Heaven as Christians. In a strange way, he appeared to be adding to Vatican II's false doctrine of oecumenism -- traditionally condemned by the popes as the heresy of "syncretism" -- when he added to the false New Order doctrines "we all worship the same god" and "all gods are the same" yet a third "all atheists go to Heaven," at least the philanthropist atheists. To be sure, Bergoglio's statement, perhaps issued without full thought, as so many of his statements seem to be, was so confusing that no one knew exactly what he meant.
Nevertheless, so scandalized were many in the New Order sect, as the remarks were highlighted in press reports around the world, that Newvatican overruled its Newpope within 24 hours, providing yet another laughable Newchurch spectacle. The correction of Newpope's apparent heresy, politely called an "Explanatory Note," indicated that Bergoglio had slipped when he forgot that in theology redemption and salvation are two entirely different things! For example, Judas Iscariot was redeemed by Christ's death on the Cross, but the common understanding from Sacred Scripture is that Judas is damned in hell for eternity. For example, the Third Order Franciscan, Dante Alighieri, whose Divina Comedia was praised by many popes, put Judas in the very pit of Hell. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by United Press International.]
This case is reminiscent of that of Pope John XXII who, in three sermons from 1331 until 1333, preached and wrote against the common opinion of theologians, that the souls of the just do not enjoy the Beatific Vision immediately after death, nor are the wicked at once eternally damned, but that all await the final judgment of God at the Last Day. The pope was denounced as a heretic and demanded to be brought before a Council for trial and condemnation. Yet he persisted in teaching this error, even throwing into the papal dungeon one who accused him of heresy.
Eventually, however, the pope appointed a commission of theologians to examine the question, which easily showed him that his teaching was contrary to the almost universal opinion of theologians. On the day before his death, December 3, 1334, he issued the Bull Ne super his in the presence of the College of Cardinals, formally and solemnly revoking his opinion and submitting determinationi Ecclesiae ac successorum nostrorum" [to the judgment of the Church and of his successors].

The New York Times has outed the President of the U.S. Conference of Catholic [Sic] Bishops as a murderer, as well as liar and a hypocrite. The Times has revealed that Newcardinal Timothy Dolan, while spearheading the fight against a provision of the Obamacare law that requires religiously-affiliated employers to pay for abortion has himself, as the Newarchdiocese of New York's employer, been financially supporting the murders! Dolan and his predecessors have been funding abortions directly from Newarchiocesan funds for over a decade, reports the Times.
Once again, Newchurchers have been openly lied to by their Newchurch leaders. Not only has Newchurch been financially supporting the rape of children by its bishops and presbyters, but now it has come out that it is funding the murder of children. The Times investigative report indicates that Dolan funds abortions for 3,000 of its employees.
Good Catholics, the Newchurch of the New Order and its Newpope, Francis-Bergoglio, should be ashamed for their immorality. Moreover, they should, at this point, shut down their immoral and unCatholic establishment for good. The Newchurch of the New Order is not only heretical and bereft of true Sacraments, now it has been proven to be murderous as well. It kills both the body and the soul. No true Catholic can have anything to do with it.
Dear TRADITIO Fathers:
I have informed my traditional Catholic friends of the activities of Fr. David Hewko, one of the members of the Society of St. Pius X of the Strict Observance, which no longer recognizes Bernie Fellay as its head because Fellay has rejected the founding traditional Catholic principles of Archbishop Lefebvre and is trying to sell out to the New Order sect. Hewko is one of about 100 priests, including Bishop Richard Williamson and Fr. David Pfeiffer, the temporary head of the SSPX-SO, who have abandoned Fellay's no longer traditional Catholic Neo-SSPX. Bishop Williamson, Fr. Pfeiffer, and others of the 100 anti-Fellayite priests are traveling around the world, preaching traditional Catholicism and informing the world's traditional Catholics that Fellay has turned on them.
I have also been informing my friends of the falsity of the New Order religion that took over the buildings of Catholic Church after the Modernist Vatican II Council. Since I have done this, I have been attacked by one of Fellay's nasty sheep. She vehemently supports Fellay and his sellout to the New Order sect, vilifying the 100 priests who have courageously stood up against Fellay's perfidy. She told me incomprehensibly: "These priests have turned their backs on the Society, as well as Rome, and have broken their solemn vow of obedience. This is fundamentally anti-Lefebvre."
How can the remainder of Fellay's Neo-SSPXers be so clueless as to the fact that Fellay is taking himself and his Neo-SSPX over to the unCatholic "dark side"?
The TRADITIO Fathers Reply.
That woman's statement is an excellent example of how the Neo-SSPX has perverted its original traditional Catholic principles. First of all, one cannot be obedient to error. If these priests were faithful to a man (Fellay) instead of to God, they would be committing a sin and striding toward perdition. As the Psalms (117:8/DRV) tell us:
Bonum est confidere in Domino, quam confidere in homine.
Bonum est sperare in Domino quam sperare in principibus.
It is good to confide in the Lord, rather than to have confidence in man.
It is good to trust in the Lord, rather than to trust in princes.
Rather, it is Fellay who has turned his back on his episcopal vow of obedience never to abandon God in his true Church, the same true Church that the SSPX's Archbishop-Founder preached. The Archbishop clearly distinguished the obvious: in our times "Rome" is an ambiguous term. It can refer either to the false Modernist Rome, which teaches Protestantized false doctrine, or to Eternal Rome, which is the true Catholic Faith. Fr. Hewko is simply returning to the original traditional Catholic teachings of the Archbishop, which Fellay has turned his back on, and come home to Eternal Rome.
Once Fellay sold out traditional Catholic principles, he can no longer be trusted. There is a principle in the Church that heretics and schismatics tend to return to their heresy and schism, even after they recant. But Fellay has not even recanted of his Modernist errors. He has simply "spun" his propaganda to make it sound as if he never hankered after Newchurch purple, when his every statement from 2005 up to the present day indicates that his ambition to be a New Order hierarch still burns.
It is clear that this Neo-SSPX woman is simply a clueless mouthpiece for Fellay, whose perfidy has been clearly exposed. Like many of the automata in the Neo-SSPX, she shows no indication that she has reflected upon the situation, but still takes an unthinking attitude of unCatholic servility, which Christ condemns in the New Testament and which Fellay still tries to engender into this sheep.
What is going on in our times is no different from what was going on in the fourth century, when most of the bishops, and even some of the popes, fell into the heresy of the priest Arius that Christ was not God; thus, this heresy is known as the Arian heresy and still inhabits, together with other heresies, the New Order sect. The Great Doctor of the Church, St. Basil the Great, wrote to his flock about this scandal, and the Saint's statement is as relevant to our situation today:
Who has lost and who has won in the struggle -- the one who keeps the buildings or the one who keeps the Faith? The true Faith, obviously. That therefore the ordinances which have been preserved in the churches from old time until now may not be lost in our days,... rouse yourselves, brethren,... seeing them now seized upon by aliens.
So far "bishopesses" have been confined to the New World, but in 2015 the madness is set to cross the Atlantic Ocean and plant itself firmly in the mother country of the Anglican-Episcopalian sect, England. On May 24, 2013, the Anglican Church, which claims to be catholic, unveiled its plans for installing English bishopesses in 2015. The plan, supported by the heretical Archbishop of Canterbury, is to be introduced in July 2015 to the General Synod.
The plan to install bishopesses is resisted by traditional Anglicans, who rightly see the action as an outright contradiction of Biblical condemnations. Bishopesses already exist in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the United States, but not, so far, in Great Britain, its headquarters country. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Reuters.]
These bishoppesses are invariably Modernist/Liberalist extremists. Let us take the case of Katherine Jefferts-Schori, the Presiding Bishopess in the United States since 2006. Jefferts-Schori's election began a period of unprecedented schism within her Episcopalian sect. Several dioceses separated from her regime. She has spent 22,000,000 dollars in an effort to sue those traditional dioceses and keep their churches and property. Jefferts-Schori is a full throated supporter of homosexuality, lesbianism, bisexuality, "transgenderism," contraception, and abortion "rights."
Good Catholics, at the Modernist Vatican II Council (1962-1965), the engineers of the New Order took their founding principles principally from the heretical Anglican-Episcopalian sect. Most of the "New Mess" of 1969 is based on heretical Anglican models, with some Jewish practices thrown in for good measure. Most of the invalid sackraments that the Newchurch of the New Order uses are also based upon heretical Anglican models. Now that the Anglicans are going full speed ahead with bishopesses in 2015, it seems that the pressure upon Francis-Bergoglio's New Order sect to "install" presbyteresses and bishopesses will be even more difficult to resist.
Newcardinal-archbishop Sean Brady, of Armagh, Ireland, has appointed a pornographer to head yet another Newparish in Ireland. Presbyter Martin McVeigh shocked parents when he displayed images of homosexual pornography at a First Communion catechism class. He claimed that he mistakenly got his personal memory drive mixed up with the catechism lesson. McVeigh was not fired, but "allowed to take a sabbatical." Now, about a year later, the Newcardinal has brought the pornographer-presbyter back to corrupt yet another Newparish.
Good Catholics, no wonder that the Irish Government, given the corruption of Newchurch, has now decided to take back all schools previously run in its name by Newchurch. Three Government inquiries have demonstrated that rampant sex crimes against children are being perpetrated by Newchurch's highest officials, encouraged from Newrome itself.
According to the official publication of Newvatican, we have a pope, and his name is not Francis, but Benedict. Issued on May 23, the 2013 edition of the Annuario Pontificio, Newvatican's comprehensive annual directory, designates Benedict-Ratzinger "Supreme Pontiff," albeit "Emeritus," while Francis-Bergoglio is titled merely, a "Bishop of Rome."
In the 2012 edition, Benedict-Ratzinger was listed as "Vicar of Jesus Christ, Successor of the Prince of the Apostles, Supreme Pontiff of the Universal Church, Primate of Italy, Archbishop and metropolitan of the Roman province, Sovereign of Vatican City-State, Servant of the Servants of God." The other titles for Bergoglio have been relegated to an inferior place off the main page. In the 2012 edition, Benedict-Ratzinger signed his official photo-portrait "Benedictus PP [Papa] XVI." In the 2013 edition, Bergoglio has signed his merely "Francesco." (Hey, Francesco, how's it going in the big house?)
There had been a great brouhaha in Newvatican about what to call Ratzinger when he became the Ex-Newpope. They didn't want to call him the "ex-pope," probably because that sounded too much like "ex-wife." But Newvatican officials were concerned to avoid the impression that there were two Newpopes in the Newchurch, "with the resulting disorientation of the faithful" -- what came to be known as la questione dei due papi, the issue of the two popes.
But the decision of Bergoglio went in exactly the opposite direction. He personally approved the Annuario Pontificio 2013 to give Ratzinger the papal title, "Supreme Pontiff Emeritus," whereas Bergoglio himself titled himself simply "Bishop of Rome," which almost seems to be an inferior position. Nor did he use the traditional papal signature for the photo-portrait, but merely "Francesco," a variation on "Call me Jorge." {Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the Vatican Information Service.]
Dear TRADITIO Fathers:
More victims have settled with the Newjesuits, Francis-Bergoglio's religious order, in the Chicago, Illinois, Province for even more sex crimes of the NewJesuit presbyter Donald McGuire. My scorecard puts the cost so far at well over 30,000,000 dollars for this pervert alone. In my opinion, if St. Ignatius of Loyola were alive today, he'd choke most of these creeps. Settlement for all families I've communicated with is merely a blip on the radar.
The pain, suffering, and remnants of these horrendous crimes last a lifetime. McGuire has never shown any remorse. It's as though he believes that molesting children is a rite of passage from seminarian to presbyter.
The TRADITIO Fathers Reply.
The perpetrator presbyters are criminals. They have no remorse; they have no shame. However, what is far more disturbing to us is the extent to which, to this day, the Newchurch hierarchy continues to suborn these vile creatures and even participates in the crimes personally in some cases, with the complicity of all the Newbishops, who are supposed to have a zero-tolerance policy. The Newpopes should strip these vile men, who dare to call themselves "priests" (of course, they're not; they were never ordained) naked and cast them out of the New Order sect into the "exterior darkness, [where] there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth" (Matthew 8:12/DRV).
On May 16, 2013, it was announced that the Christian Brothers, now an almost defunct Newchurch teaching order, has agreed to pay more than 16,000,000 to children raped by members of the religious order. The Christian Brothers were spreading their criminality throughout Canada and the United States, including California, Hawaii, Illinois, New York, and New Jersey.
Of course, justice in this world is unlikely to happen because, in spite of the Newhierarchy's lame protestations and scripted apologies for "spin control," the First Paedophile Newpope, JPII-Wojtyla (a more "Unsaint" can hardly be imagined); the Second Paedophile Newpope, Benedict-Ratzinger; and now the Third Paedophile Newpope, Francis-Bergoglio, are complicit in these crimes from the top down. This was made only too clear in the three Investigative Reports produced by the Irish government, the report produced by the Australian government, and several other governments' investigations.
To date, Ireland has been the only country around the world that has taken reasonable action to protect its children. It expelled the Newpope's Nuncio from Ireland, shut down its embassy at Newvatican, and told the Newpope that he'd better not come to Ireland for the "Eucharistic" Congress because the government could not protect the his life in view of the incendiary anger of Irish Newchurchers, particularly parents. Moreover, Ireland is in the process of taking back the schools from the care of Newchurch and of running these schools itself.
We cannot begin to imagine the grief and outrage that you, as a father of two of the victims of Newchurch's Great Sex & Embezzlement Holocaust, have had to endure, to see your two sons raped by Newchurch presbyters and then to see everyone in Newchurch, up to and including the Newpopes, not lifting a finger to expel the vile Newclergy involved, but rather continuing to cover up and suborn them.
We TRADITIO Fathers from the turn of the century have continued to shine light to the dark recesses of Newchurch, so that the criminal clergy, right up to the top, cannot hide. Only the TRADITIO Network and a few French web sites have been so dedicated to follow St. Augustine's dictum: "It is better that the truth be known than that scandal be covered up." Yet we have had our detractors. You shouldn't talk about it, they say. It's better not to cause scandal. Let the Newchurchers remain in ignorant bliss. Nonsense! We persist in following the Saint rather than unCatholic cowards.
By fraud and deceit, these three Newpopes may escape man's justice, but St. John Chrysostom, a Great Doctor of the Church, tells us that "the floor of Hell is paved with the skulls of bishops," and that certainly includes Bishops of Rome, as they now like to call themselves. One Newpope has already appeared to some burning in the fires of Hell. Another shortly seems to be headed that way. And one thing we can be sure of is that Our Lord Jesus Christ, Judge, will not be swayed by P.R. and phony apologies!
The latest brouhaha at Newvatican centers upon whether Francis-Bergoglio performed an exorcism in St. Peter's Square on May 19, 2013. Even if he did -- and Bergoglio's spokesman stated flatly that he did not -- Bergoglio would be impotent to do so. Bergoglio has never been ordained as a priest under the valid traditional Ordinal, but merely "installed" as a presbyter "to preside over the assembly of the people" in the Freemason presbyter Hannibal Bugnini's invalid Protestantized New Ordinal of 1969. Nor was Bergoglio ever consecrated as a bishop, but merely "installed" as a Newbishop under the same invalid New Ordinal of 1969.
What happened apparently was that after the invalid Novus Ordo Pentecost Mess, Bergoglio visited with the sick who were present. When he approached a certain young boy in a wheelchair, he put his hands on his head. The gesture looked more like a Charistmatic Pentecost affair than anything the least like a Catholic exorcism ritual, but the Newchurch papolators went into a frenzy, claiming that Bergoglio had performed an exorcism.
Bergoglio's spokesman called the silly brouhaha "absolutely false" and stated that Bergoglio simply prayed for the boy. He chastised TV2000, an Italian satellite channel that is trying to hawk an upcoming episode of a potboiler program on exorcism to gain television ratings. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the Catholic News Agency.]
Good Catholics, this is all a tempest in a teapot. Even the Newvatican's Chief Exorcist, Gabriele Amorth, admitted that the New Order rite of exorcism is invalid and impotent against Satan. He himself uses only the valid traditional Latin form. In any case, it was clear that Bergoglio could not have possibly used either form; there wasn't time enough for either.
Newcardinal Timothy Dolan, of New York, wants to forge a "better relationship with the gay and lesbian community." He wants Newchurch to soft-peddle opposition to "gay marriage" so that the New Order sect doesn't seem to be attacking "gay" people. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by NBC News.]
You see, Dolan wants his New Order sect to take a "conciliatory approach" to "gay and lesbian Catholics" -- a completely oxymoronic phrase -- "who may feel aliened by Church doctrine." As well they should. What they are doing is committing one of the Four Sins that Cry out to God for Retribution.
Good Catholics, any notion that the Third Paedophile Newpope, Francis-Bergoglio, is any different from his two paedophile Newpope predecessors has, in just two months, been shot to the proverbial Hell! Don't be misled. Francis-Bergoglio is just as New Ordo as all of them. If he weren't, he would censure Dolan. Of course, he won't, because he supports him. JPII-Wojtyla and Benedict-Razinger played the same hypocritical game.
Newchurch has suspended Ugandan presbyter Anthony Musaala for telling the truth: Newclergy's rape of children is a big problem on the Dark Continent too. Musaala is a celebrity in African circles for his religious music. His truth-telling has undercut Newchurch's fictional story that even though Europe and North America are going down the tubes, Africa is going strong. Musaala courageously stood up to contradict this lie. And he has the evidence to prove it.
He even took on Ghanaian Newcardinal Peter Turkson, considered a leading papabile in the recent papal election. Turkson was continuing to tell the lie that "the African Church is purer than its counterpart in the West." To the contrary, presbyter Musaala says, "It's not more pure. I think it's time we had the truth."
In March 2013, Musaala wrote to the Newarchbishop of Kampala, Cyprian Lwanga, about presbyters who fathered children, kept secret wives, and raped both girls and boys. Musaala speaks from personal experience. When he was 16 in a boarding school run by Newchurch brothers, he was "one of numerous boys" raped by the brothers. "Wherever you go, people know about this. It's like an open secret. People know. Nothing is ever done," said Musaala.
For telling the truth, Musaala was suspended from the presbyterate by Newarchbishop Lwanga "for damaging the morale of believers." Apparently, the morale of Newchurch believers is based on lies perpetrated by Francis-Bergoglio's lieutenants. Bergoglio should reread his St. Augustine: "It is better that the truth be known than that scandal be covered up."
In the end, the courageous presbyter Musaala carried the day. The corrupt Newarchbishop Lwanga shortly afterward was forced to admit publicly the truth that his presbyters were raping numerous children. For clueless African Newchurchers, the idea that African presbyters might be raping boys had been unthinkable before Musaala's revelations.

Dear TRADITIO Fathers:
Some modern biblical scholars are trying to claim that St. Paul did not write the Epistle to the Hebrews. Is St. Paul's authorship a matter of doctrine?
The TRADITIO Fathers Reply.
The Epistle to the Hebrews was obviously accepted by the early Church as authentic and attributed to St. Paul. Whether he wrote it personally is not a matter of doctrine. What is important is the teaching contained therein, which is part of the New Testament, whether St. Paul himself wrote it or one of his disciples. There is a similar situation with the Apostles Creed. Did the Apostles personally write it? Or the Athanasian Creed. Did St. Athanasius personally write it? Maybe not, but these are part of Christian doctrinal Tradition, and their teaching is what is important.
Modern biblical scholars, many of whom now aren't even fluent in the original languages, have played this kind of Modernist pettyfogging since Vatican II. They pick away at some unimportant point and make it the entire issue. They are like those foolish people who pull at a tiny loose thread and eventually destroy the entire garment. Even Benedict-Ratzinger pulled this kind of pettyfogging when he upset even Newchurchers by questioning whether there were animals at the Nativity. Of course, not, Josef. It was the humans who were slopping themselves out of the manger (animal feeding trough)!
At the request of Francis-Bergoglio, Newcardinal Emeritus Jose da Cruz Policarpo, of Lisbon, Portugal, performed a blasphemous "consecration" of the Bergoglio Newpapacy to Our Lady of Fatima on May 13, the Novus Ordo feastday of Fatima (there is no feastday for Fatima in the traditional Roman Missal). The "consecration" was blasphemous because the consecration was tainted: "to renew and reform the [New]church," in its context a clear reference to the unCatholic consequences of the Modernist Vatican II Council. Better to have prayed for the restoration of the true Catholic Church of Our Lord Jesus Christ and His Apostles.
The "consecration" was composed by Policarpo, who was himself never consecrated as a bishop, but merely "installed" as a Newbishop under the Freemason presbyter Hannibal Bugnini's invalid New Ordinal of 1969. It occurred at the end of an invalid Protestant-Masonic-Pagan New Order service. Policarpo is trying to connive with Bergoglio to visit the Novus Ordo "Tennis Racket" shrine in Fatima, which has replaced the traditional Catholic shrine, undoubtedly in hopes of getting money into his coffers from tourists, depleted by Newchurchers who are abandoning Bergoglio's sect in greater and greater numbers because of its gross immorality. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the Catholic News Service.]
Remember that the Newchurch of the New Order is embroiled not only in the Great Sex Holocaust, but the Great Sex & Embezzlement Holocaust. In addition to all the immoral sex crimes being committed by Newchurch clergy, there is also the ongoing embezzlement holocaust in which Newchurch is robbing blind the collection-plates contributed to by its clueless sheep.
The latest example of how deep this embezzlement culture in Newchurch is came to light again in the Newarchdiocese of St. Paul-Minneapolis, Minnesota, whose Accounting Director, Scott Domeier, was so poorly supervised by Newarchbishop John Nienstedt, appointed by Benedict-Ratzinger, that he was able to steal 670,000 dollars from Newchurchers' contributions since 2008. Nienstedt was supposed to have been supervising Domeier, but was apparently clueless that his Newchurchers were being robbed blind.
On May 15, 2013, Domeier pled guilty to his crimes: three felony counts of theft by swindle and two counts of filing fraudulent tax returns. Domeier was using some of his ill-gotten gain to pay his personal bills and his children's school tuition. He also extorted first-class airline tickets to Hawaii from a Newchurch vendor. In civil justice, lacking in Newchurch, Domeier will have to return the entire amount of his theft and spend three years in state prison. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Twin Cities Pioneer Press.]
Good Catholics, Newchurch officials are criminals, or accomplices to criminality, and their supervising Newbishops are incompetent nincompoops. Francis-Bergoglio should fire Newarchbishop Nienstedt immediately for five years of incompetent management, but, of course, he won't. Newpopes never fire their criminal accomplices. And clueless Newchurchers, growing fewer and fewer every day, will continue to put their hard-earned money into the coffers of a corrupt Newchurch that is certainly not Christian, certainly not Catholic, and should be expurgated and tossed into the proverbial fire.
In its decree Nostra aetate of 1965, Vatican II started watering down the traditional teaching on the Jews. The Modernist Council could not, in 1965, deny the teaching of Sacred Scripture: "True, the Jewish authorities and those who followed their lead pressed for the death of Christ; still, what happened in His Passion cannot be charged against all the Jews, without distinction, then alive, nor against the Jews of today" (sec. 4). Although the Ultra-modernists wanted to change the traditional teaching, the Council as a whole merely watered it down. But that was the camel's nose under the tent or, if you will, turning up the heat on the traditional frog in the pot.
The Post-modernist Newchurch of the 21st century no longer respects the teaching of Sacred Scripture at all. It has by now "translated out" of its "vernacularized" Bibles all the teachings of the New Testament offensive to the Modernists that were proclaimed by Christ, St. Paul, and the Apostles. Newchurch has translated out the clear acceptance of capital punishment (John 19:10-11), the condemnation of Judaism (St. Paul's Epistle to the Hebrews) and homosexuality (St. Paul's Epistle to the Romans, chapter 1), and other traditional teachings that are "too traditional" for the Post-modernists. No wonder the Catholic Church has always been wary of "vernacularized" versions of the Bible, such as those circulated by the Protestant revolutionaries!
Now Francis-Bergoglio has taken the next step in this apostasy from traditional teaching by allowing that, through his personally-appointed President of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, Newcardinal Kurt Koch, Jews no longer have to convert to Christ, their Messias, as their Lord and Savior. Only non-Jews now have to accept Christ. Already Benedict-Ratzinger had foreshadowed this unCatholic teaching, directly in contravention to Sacred Scripture, with his pathetic attempt to "modernize" the Good Friday litanical prayer for the Jews, which those who use his half Novus Ordo "Motu" Mess of 1962+ are supposed to use, including Bernie Fellay and his Neo-SSPX. And some of these falsely-termed "Extraordinary Messes" do in fact use Ratzinger's "modernized" version.
This Newdoctrine is in direct contradiction to Christian doctrine proclaimed in no less an authority than the Holy Bible (Acts of the Apostles 2:36-38/DRV). St. Paul states it in no uncertain terms:
"Therefore let all the house of Israel know most certainly, that God hath made both Lord and Christ, this same Jesus, whom you have crucified." Now when they had heard these things, they had compunction in their heart, and said to Peter, and to the rest of the apostles: "What shall we do, men and brethren?" But Peter said to them: "Do penance, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins: and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
This traditional Christian doctrine, proclaimed by St. Paul, the Fathers of the Church, and the Church's Universal Theologian, St. Thomas Aquinas, is that when "the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top even to the bottom" (Matthew 27:51) after the crucifixion, the Old Covenant of the Jews had ended because God had, as He had promised, sent His Son, the Messias of the Jews, the Second Person of the Godhead, Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Thenceforth, salvation was only through Him: "For God so loved the world, as to give his only begotten Son; that whosoever believeth in him, may not perish, but may have life everlasting" (John 3:16/DRV).
Bergoglio's spokesman, Newcardinal Koch, in an interview with Catholic World Report on May 15, 2013, proclaimed that the traditional Catholic teaching had been replaced in Francis-Bergoglio's Newchurch of the New Order:
We Christians, in dealing with the Jews, do not have to bear witness to a way of salvation that is completely foreign to them [acceptance of Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior], as is the case with other religions. For the New Testament is built entirely on the Old Testament. For this reason the Catholic Church has no organized mission to the Jews.
The Newcardinal-President has thereby proclaimed what can be viewed as heresy in the name of Bergoglio. The Good Friday petition is actually not a call to mission work among the Jews, as it is often misunderstood," proclaims Koch. Koch-Bergoglio's novel teaching contradicts the teaching of the Catholic Church for 2000 years. This teaching is summarized in the Act of Consecration of the Human Race to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, ordered by Pope Pius IX in 1925 to be recited before the Most Blessed Sacrament exposed on the Feast of Our Lord Jesus Christ the King, on the last Sunday of October annually:
Turn Thine eyes of mercy toward the children of that race, once Thy Chosen people [the Jews]. Of old, they called down upon themselves the Blood of the Savior; may It now descend upon them as a laver of redemption and of life.
Koch specifically pointed to Bergoglio's "Judaizing," which he "cultivated with the local rabbis and Jewish communities when he was archbishop of Buenos Aires." Bergoglio's unCatholic actions included donning a Jewish kipah and officially attending a Jewish synagogue to light the menorah at Jewish services.
Newcardinal Koch went on to single out "blunders" in the unexcommunications of the four Neo-SSPX bishops, which should slap Bernie Fellay, Superior-Dictator, and his Neo-SSPX, into reality and presage a future harsh attitude on the part of Bergoglio towards Fellay and his Neo-SSPX:
Pope Benedict himself honestly admitted that in the [then Neo-SSPX senior Bishop Richard] Williamson case there were serious blunders in the preparations for and the announcement of the lifting of the excommunications [of the four Neo-SSPX bishops].
Good Catholics, Newcardinal Koch's openly anti-traditional and anti-Catholic new doctrine proclaimed concerning the Jews indicates once again that as unCatholic as Benedict-Ratzinger was, Francis-Bergoglio will surpass him in engineering even more clearly heretical doctrine for the New Order sect -- which is again proven as being certainly not the Catholic Church.
Francis-Bergoglio will go on his first Newpapal junket July 22-28, 2013, to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, for the 28th World Youth Day, that Newchurch celebration of the profane, where condoms have been distributed for the Newpapal Messes. World Youth Day is known as "Catholic Woodstook," after the 1969 sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll fiasco at Woodstock New York. The First Paedophile Pope, JPII-Wojtyla, who himself was known for his Messes sauvages [wild Messes], established them every three years, starting in 1984.
These immoral extravaganzas deplete the resources of the host city and country for years after the Newpope takes the purse back to Newvatican. Brazil will fork over 31,000,000 dollars, and Rio de Janeiro will fork over another 20,000,000 dollars for No. 28. Another 8,000,000 will come from other sources. These resources will be thrown away on an immoral Novus Ordo shivaree while Brazil struggles with deep poverty. According to government statistics, 8.5 per cent of the population live on the equivalent of 1.30 dollars a month, defined by the government as "extreme poverty." 30 per cent of these survive on no income at all.
The lovey-dovey Newchurch is hardly "charitable" when it places a huge financial burden upon people to support its ever-greedy purse. It is no secret that Newchurch's income has suffered mightily from former Newchurchers cutting off their contributions in view of Newchurch's institutional support of child rape by its Newclergy. Bergoglio is going to the sheep trough again, this time in his own Latin-American backyard. If he's so humble and plain, why not just cancel the whole immoral mess -- or turn it into something truly Catholic?
"The Resistance," composed of former Neo-SSPX members who have separated from Bernie Fellay's now Novus Ordo-bent organization, have announced a counter-conference for June 1-2, 2013, to be held in London, England, in order to provide an alternative to Fellay's Neo-SSPX conference on those same dates. SSPXers will hear Fellay's usual hypocritical prattle, in which he will continue to try to justify his attempted sellout of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre's once-traditional Catholic organization to the New Order sect in Newrome. Those who attend the alternative conference will hear not Neo-SSPX propagandistic deceits, but the reality: "The Crisis in the SSPX."
Speakers will be former leaders in Fellay's Neo-SSPX who separated from him when he went Novus Ordo: Frs. David Hewko, Paul Kramer, and Joseph Pfeiffer. Fr. Pfeiffer has recently been elected by his fellow priests to head the Society of St. Pius X of the Strict Observance (SSPX-SO) for a temporary term of office, rather than for the 24-year term of Fellay's dictatorship. Fr. Pfeiffer has been making visitations around the world to Neo-SSPX locales to explain the Lefebvran-based principles of the SSPX-SO and the travesty that Fellay has made out of the now untraditional Neo-SSPX.
You just can't keep a bad pope down! JPII-Wojtyla, who was seen in 2007 in a famous "apparition" in Poland apparently burning in the fires of Hell, has now been seen in Rome "resurrected" to life. Actually, the "resurrected" Newpope turns out to be a remarkable lookalike of the First Paedophile Pope, who died in 2005. Sitting on a chair and smiling "beatifically" (the New Order sect has made the "Unblessed" Wojtyla a Novus Ordo "Blessed") while reading a Bible, he had staked out a spot on the Via dei Fori Imperiali, the broad avenue that leads up to the Colosseum.
On May 1, 2013, the poor man was stripped of his white cassock and arrested by Roman police, apparently because they thought that Newchurchers were too ignorant to know that the real Wojtyla has been dead for eight years and would thus be deceived. The misdemeanor for "usurpation of title" could cost the man 1,200 U.S. dollars. Other street performers were present, mimicking dead Roman centurions and legionaries, but none of these was arrested. One police officer joked: "If he had been dressed like Tutankhamen, nothing would have happened."
You see, the corrupt Newchurch, which is supposed to be so Vatican II lovey-dovey, continues to wield tyrannical power. We remember the case of the nun who demonstrated for the children raped by Newchurch's bishops and presbyters, who was chained and shackled to a lamp post in Newvatican itself when the Second Paedophile Pope, Benedict-Ratzinger, was in charge. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Agence France-Presse.]
Good Catholics, what goes around, comes around. The Roman media had a field-day drubbing Newchurch with jokes about there now being three popes in Newrome now: Francis-Bergoglio, the "Ex" Benedict-Ratzinger, and the "resurrected" JPII-Wojtyla.
Independent traditional Catholic bishop Richard Williamson, now separated from Bernie Fellay's Neo-SSPX, has completed his Second Episcopal Visitation, of one week, to Fellay's own backyard: Germany, France, and Switzerland. His First Episcopal Visitation, of three weeks, included countries of the western Atlantic region, including Brazil and the United States of America. Williamson is now operating under the aegis of the St. Marcel Initiative, which has been set up to support the traditional Catholic founding principles of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre against Bernie Fellay's sellout of them to the New Order sect.
Bishop Williamson reported on May 11, 2013, that his European visitation was encouraging. He finds that fewer people all the time are being fooled by what is happening within Fellay's Neo-SSPX. The warning against Fellay's sellout to the New Order sect, which has been carried ever since 2005 especially by the TRADITIO Network and certain French web sites, is now being heeded all over the world.
Bishop Williamson reports that although Germany had in the past tried to shut him down with illegal lawsuits, thrown out by the appellate courts, he experienced no trouble whatsoever on his Second Episcopal Visitation. Williamson met personally with the Carmelite Sisters who have become famous throughout the world of traditional Catholicism for having separated themselves from Fellay's unCatholic Neo-SSPX. He reports that the Carmelites are "clear in mind, resolute, and cheerful." Williamson visited a second traditional Catholic convent in southwest Germany, which refuses to affiliate with Fellay and his Neo-SSPX.
France has long been the leading country of the SSPX and the leading source of its funding. Many Neo-SSPXers in this country are said to be disgruntled political monarchists who want a French king back. Bishop Williamson reports that in his talks with Neo-SSPX priests in Paris, he found that they had "lost all trust in the present management" of the Neo-SSPX, that is, Bernie Fellay and his craven lieutenants. Williamson will next visit the United Kingdom and, in June 2013, again visit the United States.
JPII-Wojtyla was heavily criticized for gutting the requirements for canonization in his Newchurch of the New Order and for manufacturing boatloads of Novus Ordo "saints," many of highly-dubious quality. Certainly the investigations were, in many cases, slovenly and politicized. In the year 2000 Wojtyla was reported even to have come close to con-anizing the arch-heretic Martin Luther!
Although Benedict-Ratzinger radically pared back the number of New Order "saints" whom he manufactured, still using the same slovenly and politicized process, now Francis-Bergoglio has succeeded in "outsainting" even Wojtyla! On May 12, 2013, Bergoglio manufactured almost a thousand Novus Ordo "saints" at an invalid New Order Mess in Newvatican. Wojtyla had manufactured an unheard-of 500 Newsaints, a number that outstripped all of the popes going back to St. Peter! For further information, click on FAQ10: How Do You Explain These Traditional Catholic Beliefs? in the section "Canonizations - New Order."
For Francis-Bergoglio, who prefers to be called "Jorge," these New Order "saints" are no more than political tools. In his remarks he did not emphasize spiritual qualities, but spoke of one as a source for the Colombian "peace process." He called not for adherence to truly Catholic doctrine, morality, and worship, but "development of the country." This phrase was reminiscent of Paul VI-Montini's socialist political screed issued as an Encyclical Letter and titled Populorum progressio, the progress of peoples. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Associated Press.]
Good Catholics, what does Newchurch need a pope for? It is no longer a religious institution, but a political one. Bergoglio should dump the pope deception and run for Secretary General of the United Nations!
All the world can see that Newchurch cardinals have no shame. At the top of the list of shameless Newcardinals must be placed Roger "Rogue" Mahony, of Los Angeles, California. He was publicly exposed as a paedophile facilitator of monumental proportions and ordered to perform no public functions, but he has ignored his "semi-defrocking" and is staging invalid New Order "confirmations."
Obviously, Mahony, though a moral pervert, is smart enough to realize that Bergoglio is a paper-tiger. If you stand up to him, he and his corrupt Newvatican will back down like the wimpish victims of a bully. When confronted by Bernard "Lawless" Law, the Newcardinal who was the first publicly exposed, in 2002, for running a Newchurch diocese that suborned the rape and sodomy of children by his presbyters, Bergoglio did the fraternal kissy-kissy with him, right there within the sacred precincts of Our Lady's Archbasilica in Rome. There it was that the Second Paedophile Pope, JPII-Wojtyla, provided the discredited Newcardinal with a cushy suite of apartments and a generous stipend to live the life of luxury, while hundreds of Boston's children were trying to simply to live after being raped by Law's presbyters.
A judge for the Superior Court of Los Angeles County ordered 10,000 pages of Mahony's internal documents made public as part of victims' lawsuits against him. The documents, which Mahony fought for over five years against releasing, revealed that the corrupt Newcardinal was an active participant in hiding his criminal presbyter-rapists from the police, even setting up an "underground railroad" to get the criminals out of the United States and hide them in Mexico. Mahony's immoral actions finally became too much even for corrupt Newchurch itself. Mahony's successor, Jose Gomez, ordered Mahony to retire from public functions, at the same time proclaiming the perverted Newcardinal to be "in good standing" with the Newchurch of the New Order.
But the narcissistic Mahony, who in his new cathedral was noted for staging pagan rites in which Novus Ordo "nuns" danced around the altar like Satan's daughters, has not stood down. Since Easter 2013 he has presided over eight invalid Novus Ordo "confirmation" shivarees. So scandalized have parents become over Newchurch's failure to restrain Mahony in his supposedly semi-defrocked state that many have pulled their children out.
Why has Newchurch been unable to put the paedophile Newcardinal down? Was Gomez's order, like so many Newchurch actions, just P.R., never intended to be followed? Is Francis-Bergoglio incompetent to keep his Newcardinals in check? Gomez and Bergoglio certainly look like consummate fools now, as Mahony is going around giving speeches in an attempt to deny the evidence, proven by his own records, that he was an unsurpassed paedophile facilitator.

On May 8, 2013, it took a jury only two hours to convict a Newchurch "nun" and two accomplices of sabotage when they broke into a nuclear weapons facility in Tennessee and defaced the Highly Enriched Uranium Materials Facility in Oak Ridge. The "nun" proudly proclaimed that she had no remorse for her actions. She proudly sprayed baby bottles full of human blood on the exterior of the facility.
So, this Newchurch nun will be cooling her heels in prison for the next twenty years instead of attending the phony Novus Ordo Mess. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the Associated Press.]
Good Catholics, remember when Catholic nuns before Vatican II used to care for the sick in hospitals, assist the dying, and teach the young? In the Newchurch of the New Order -- particularly with Francis-Bergoglio, the Newjesuit, and his "Liberation Theology" accomplices leading it --, the "nuns" are more likely to be toting arms. No wonder that Newchurch hospitals and schools are crashing and burning, and Novus Ordo religious orders will be dead in a decade. Thank God, there remain true Catholic nuns in traditional Catholic organizations within the Traditional Catholic Movement. You certainly won't find them in the unCatholic Newchurch!
More immorality from Francis-Bergoglio's Newpapacy -- and this one hits very close to him, his own Newjesuits. The Newjesuit University of San Francisco in California is sanctioning openly-espoused Lesbian Barbara Garcia with an honorary degree at commencement on May 17, 2013. Garcia, Director of Health at the San Francisco Department of Public Health, is known for her advocacy of public funding of "transgender surgery," i.e., castration and devagination. Garcia will also be the speaker at the commencement. One can only imagine what vile immoral policies will issue from her lips.
Newchurch "officially" teaches this immoral practice as a grave violation of God's Natural Law. Yet, in reality, Newchurch officials approve the practice by their silence. No word has come out from the mouth of the "conservative" Newarchbishop of San Francisco, California, His Gracelessness Salvatore "the Souse" Codileone. No word has come out from Francis "Mr. Humility" Bergoglio. This case provides more mounting evidence Bergoglio's Newpapacy is just as bad as that of his post-Conciliar predecessors: an unCatholic fraud.
Garcia connived with the San Francisco Board of Supervisors to include in the city's health program not only abortion and contraception, but "gender-reassignment surgery." Garcia has the role of implementing this program, a role that she proclaims she relishes. The program has been described as follows: "San Francisco will now offer mastectomies, genital reconstructions, and other surgeries recommended for some transgender people under the city's five-year-old universal health care plan." [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by CCD.]
Psychologists have traditionally considered "transgender people" to be mentally-ill psychopaths trying to mutilate themselves. Another example of psychopathic illness is persons suffering from so-called Body Integrity Identify Disorder, who believe that they must amputate their limbs in order to achieve their "true identities." Perhaps Director Garcia will advocate in her commencement speech that people be allowed to chop off their heads because they suffer from Cranial Confusion Disorder!
What is it with these drunken Newbishops of Newchurch? Haven they lost all morality? Apparently so. Newbishop Robert McManus, of Worchester, Massachusetts, is the latest to be charged, on May 7, 2013, for drunk driving and hit and run.
On February 17, 2004, Newbishop Thomas O'Brien, of Phoenix, Arizona, was convicted of hit and run, probably while drunk. O'Brien killed a man in the incident and then tried to cover up his crime by repairing extensive damage to his car when the man's body hit the hood and windshield. Apparently, O'Brien was in a drunken stupor, since he stared at the body of the dead man looking into his windshield and told police that he thought he had hit a cat or dog. During the trial, O'Brien, from the all-charitable New Order sect, never once showed remorse or apologized to the victim's wife and children, who were sitting behind him for three weeks in court. O'Brien had also been fingered in a Grand Jury investigation for covering up the rape of children by his Newdiocesan presbyters. O'Brien eventually admitted that he had sheltered the presbyter-rapists. He was pressured to resign in 2003.
Then we have the case of Salvatore "the Souse" Cordileone, Newarchbishop of San Francisco, California, appointed by the Second Paedophile Pope, Benedict-Ratzinger. Before Cordileone could be installed, he was picked up in August 2012 by police for drunk driving. The man had no scruples: he was driving his own mother in the car! Blood-alcohol tests indicated that Cordileone wasn't just a little tipsy: he had had six drinks in his system! He played the usual "apology game" and didn't have the moral integrity to resign before installation. Ratzinger and the Newchurchers in San Francisco let him get away with it. (Where are Mothers against Drunk Driving when you need them?)
And now we have Newbishop McManus, who claims that he made an error in judgment. Yeah, sure. He rear-ended another car and raced off to the safety of his Newepiscopal residence. He was followed and reported to police. Police described the Newbishop as "swaying in a circular motion while standing." Sounds just like the Novus Ordo "liturgical dance," doesn't it! Police also reported that McManus's speech was slurred to incomprehensibility. His breath reeked of alcohol. He failed three field-sobriety tests and was too drunk to realize that he had rear-ended another car. All this, and McManus claimed that he had just two drinks with dinner. Yeah, sure. He's either a liar or certainly can't hold his liquor!
Good Catholics, why should it be any surprise that the immoral bishops of the New Order are drunken sots too? The New Order sect has destroyed Catholic morality, and certainly its Newhierarchy do not serve as moral models for even Newchurchers. Drunk driving and hit and run are bad enough, but these Newbishops are, without exception, paedophile facilitators, and sometimes even perpetrators. Everything about the Newchurch of the New Order reeks of what St. Paul called "filthy." True Catholics can have nothing to do with the Newchurch of the New Order, or they become accomplices to filth.
JPII-Wojtyla's reign as Newpope was one of the most corrupt -- and, unfortunately, one of the longest -- in the history of the Church. During his 26 years, he destroyed why little was left of the Mess, replacing it with what can only be called "pagan liturgies." He destroyed what little was left of Catholic doctrine, when he brought out his Protestantized "New Catechism" (what was wrong with the "old" catechism? too Catholic?). He allowed the most vile immoralities to be perpetrated upon children by his Newclergy, from his presbyters to his Newcardinals. He even publicly supported the most corrupt Newcardinal associated with Newchurch's Great Sex & Embezzlement Holocaust, Bernard Law, of Boston, Massachusetts, and paid him off with a ritzy suite above the archbasilica of Santa Maria Major and a generous annual stipend.
Wojtyla gathered around him a menagerie of the most unCatholic ilk, including his Papal Master of Ceremonies for 18 years, Newarchbishop Piero Marini. Marini's case demonstrates once again that the Protestant-Masonic-Pagan "New Mess" is the sluiceway for the worst doctrinal and moral sewage to be introduced into the New Order sect. Marini stated on April 23, 2013, that he is in favor of sodomistic unions, commonly called "civil unions" because it is a "matter of justice." What "justice" Marini was referring to is not clear. It is certainly not God's justice, as sodomy is condemned in Scripture as one of the Four Sins that Cry out to God for Vengeance.
Marini represents the hypocritical Newchurch of the New Order, which, while officially condemning sodomistic "gay marriage" and "civil unions," allows its leaders to deny publicly the traditional moral teaching with impunity. A 2003 document from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the [New Order] Faith, entitled Considerations Regarding Proposals to give Legal Recognition to Unions between Homosexual Persons, stated: "Laws in favor of homosexual unions are contrary to right reason, because they confer legal guarantees, analogous to those granted to marriage to unions between persons of the same sex. Given the values at stake in this question, the State could not grant legal standing to such unions without failing in its duty to promote and defend marriage as an institution essential to the common good."
Marini cooperated with JPII-Wojtyla in staging "liturgies" that featured half-nude female "liturgical dancers" and "blessings" by pagan priestesses. Newarchbishop Marini is far from the only Newchurch prelate to come out for sodomistic "civil unions." Newcardinal Christoph Schonborn, of Vienna, Austria, known for his "Rock and Roll" Messes, has also come out for this gross immorality. Schonborn has in fact gone so far as to bless sodomite liaisons in his cathedral. Newcardinal Roger Mahony, of Los Angeles, California, who featured Novus Ordo "nuns" dancing around the altar in his cathedral and who has been implicated by thousands of pages of court documents in rampant paedophilia in his Newarchdiocese, has also embraced homosexuality.
Dear TRADITIO Fathers:
When Fr. Joseph Pfeiffer, the leader of the Society of St. Pius X of the Strict Observance (SSPX-SO), visited Brisbane, Australia, during the week of April 29, 2013, to lay out the plan of his organization to restore Archbishop Lefebvre's traditional Catholic principles, Bernie Fellay's Neo-SSPX "authorities" here were thrown into a hateful frenzy. Fr. Pfeiffer had stressed openness and transparency in his visit, publicly announced where his conferences would be held, and invited one and all to attend.Fellay, following his pattern of expelling or otherwise ousting those of his priests who publicly adhere to the traditional Catholic founding principles of Archbishop Lefebvre, by now amounting to one-sixth of his clergy, some 100 priests, had his local lieutenants threaten from the pulpit on May 5, 2013, anyone who even listened to what Fr. Pfeiffer had to say with denial of Last Rites. We here in the SSPX community in Brisbane were shocked at Fellay's tyranny, going so far as to abuse the Holy Sacraments to enforce his personal power over everyone. We are now ready to go over to Fr. Pfeiffer's SSPX-SO. Should we leave Bernie Fellay's Neo-SSPX?
The TRADITIO Fathers Reply.
Our advice, as we have stated ever since Fellay's sellout to the New Order sect, documented here since 2005, has been to get out of Fellay's corrupt organization entirely. It is no longer traditional Catholic, and it certain no longer adheres to Archbishop Lefebvre's traditional Catholic founding principles. Moreover, Fellay has set up a personal tyranny over his Neo-SSPX that is unconscionable. To use the Holy Sacraments as a blunderbuss to strike traditional Catholics over the head for adhering to the Archbishop's founding principles goes way over the line. Clearly, the Archbishop would defrock Fellay for his corruption of the original SSPX.
Tyrannies cannot survive unless people support them. You don't seem to realize what power you and your fellow Neo-SSPXers have. By denying Fellay your presence and your money, he will topple. The same is true of those who support the unCatholic New Order sect. Tyrants cannot survive unless clueless people stay with them and fund them.
Many can still remember when Catholic schools were some of the finest in the world. The academic standards were high. Dedicated traditional nuns, religious brothers, and priests taught the students religion, disciple, and a classical curriculum. No more. Not after the Modernist Vatican II Council (1962-1965). Not after the Catholic Church was replaced by the Newchurch of the New Order, with its unordained presbyters, feminist "nuns," and nowhere-to-be found religious brothers, now replaced by uncredentialed lay teachers. Only 3.2 per cent of Newchurch teachers are in religious orders -- and those are Novus Ordo-- compared with 90.1 per cent in 1950. Now children in Newchurch students are more likely to be sexually assaulted than to be educated. Certainly Ireland discovered that, and has now taken back the operation of its schools away from Newchurch personnel.
It has taken five decades, but finally even Newchurch parents have come to the realization that they are being robbed. For the failing Newchurch system, parents are now paying an average of 3,673 dollars a year for elementary school and 9,622 for high school. As a result, enrollment at Newchurch schools is sinking like a rock, and numerous schools have just shut their doors. Between 2000 and 2013 in the United States alone, enrollment fell 24.5 per cent, and 2,090 Newchurch schools shut their doors, according a new study by the National Catholic [Sic] Educational Association.
Once staffed by religious orders like the Jesuits, the schools gained reputations for discipline and academic rigor. When the Jesuits morphed into Newjesuits after Vatican II, whose numbers include Francis-Bergoglio, they became known not for their educational skills, but for their sexual assaults upon students. The northwest Jesuit Province was forced into bankruptcy because it had to pay off so many judgments to child victims. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Reuters.]
A good deal of this was foreseen by America's most noted Catholic educator, Bishop Fulton Sheen (1895-1979). While teaching at the Catholic University of America for nearly 25 years and dealing with students, he noted with deep concern what was happening in Catholic education and the fact that many young people were losing the Faith since Vatican II. His warning on higher education, given around 1967, was as prophetic as it was startling, and applies equally to grades K-12:
You are better off going to a state school where you will have the chance to fight for your Faith, than going to a modern Catholic university where you will have the new watered-down, modernist version of the Faith spoon-fed to your unsuspecting minds, so that you will be apt to lose your Faith.
Ex-pope Benedict-Ratzinger returned on May 2, 2013, to Newvatican, to take up residence in his exclusive four-story retirement villa in the Vatican Gardens. The villa took more than half a year to build to Ratzinger's personal specifications. Ratzinger will be served by his personal secretary, Msgr. George Gaenswein, who has been described as having a "movie star" physiognomy ranking between George Clooney and Hugh Grant. Ratzinger will also be served by four Novus Ordo nuns. The villa is complete with library, piano, guest rooms, and a private chapel. Although the villa has been described as a "monastery," it is far from it!
Unlike the live, door-to-door Vatican-provided television coverage that accompanied Ratzinger's farewell on February 28, 2013, Newvatican seemed to regard Ratzinger's return as an embarrassment because, without comment, it forbad live television coverage of his return by helicopter. Some suggested that because there are reports that Ratzinger is near death's door, Nevatican did not want the international journalists seeing his actual condition. In his last public appearance, at the papal summer castle at Gandolfo, on March 23, 2013, Ratzinger, aged 86, was described as "exceptionally frail."
Nor has Ratzinger seemed to have fully digested the fact that he is no longer Newpope. He still chooses to be called "Pope Emeritus" and "Your Holiness" and has continued to wear the white cassock of the papacy. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Reuters.]
One of the daughters of Patrick Henry Omlor has informed us that her father, a Pioneer of the Traditional Catholic Movement, died on May 2, 2013, at 12:00 UTC, at age 81. His influential work has frequently been referred to by us here as defining seminal traditional Catholicism.
In 1967, Patrick Henry Omlor, two years before the introduction of the "New Mess" of 1969, dropped his bombshell book, Questioning the Validity of the New, All-English Canon, proving that even the 1967 predecessor of that "New Mess" to be invalid under Catholic Theology and the principles of the Church's Universal Doctor, St. Thomas Aquinas. Omlor said later that he had originally wanted to title the book The Invalidity of the New, All English Canon, but a friend advised him, in order to minimize attacks against him by the New Order fanatics of the time, to change the title to Questioning the Validity.... Omlor published his book two years before Cardinals Alfredo Ottaviani and Antonio Bacci published their Short Critical Study of the New Order of Mass to Paul VI-Montini, which essentially called the New Order sect's "New Mass" Protestant and invalid and caused the delay of its implementation to 1970.
After the Vatican II Council (1962-1965), the Freemason presbyter Hannibal Bugnini, who was placed in charge of "modernizing" the Mass by Pope Pius XII and Pope Paul VI-Montini (but not, John XXIII, who fired him), did not complete his task in one fell swoop. He notoriously introduced the changes gradually, starting in 1964. In 1967, Bugnini beyond doubt introduced the invaliding change by modifying the Sacred Canon, which had not been touched since the Apostolic Age, and introduced three new fabricated "eucharistic prayers," which he based on Protestant and Jewish models. To this day, the Newchurch of the New Order routinely uses eucharistic prayer II, the most Protestant of them all.
Omlor subsequently wrote a number of other bombshell articles that proved the New Order sect's "New Sacraments" to be unCatholic and invalid, by rigorously applying the Catholic theological principles of St. Thomas Aquinas. These articles were courageously published by Walter Matt, the editor of a well-known traditional Catholic publication of the time, which is now run by his son, who has sold out to the New Order sect. Eventually, Omlor's Questioning the Validity and his other works were published in an anthology entitled The Robber Church, an Anthology of the Complete Writings of Patrick Henry Omlor from 1967-1997.
Contrary to what you will read in such ignorant sites as "Wikipedia," Omlor was not a "sede-vacantist." His works have far more impact that picayune theological disputes about whether the clearly unCatholic post-Vatican II popes are technically valid or not. No, Omlor's well-argued position was that the Newchurch of the New Order sect, which was officially implemented under the Newpapacy of Paul VI-Montini (not John XXIII as many wrongly believe), proved that Newchurch's very "sacraments," particularly its "eucharist," are invalid under undisputed Catholic theological principles. If the New Order sect doesn't have true sacraments, any disputes, sede-vacantist or otherwise, over its Newpopes are unimportant, from a practical point of view. Omlor's arguments proved that, whoever the Newpopes may or may not be, the Newchurchers are indisputably munching on invalid cookies!

Dear TRADITIO Fathers:
I was trolling through a book on Renaissance art, and one picture showed the tomb of "John XXIII, Antipope." Do you have any idea why in 1958 Angelo Roncalli would take that name?
The TRADITIO Fathers Reply.
He explained at the time that he took the name because his middle and baptismal name was Giovanni, John (the Baptist), to whom he had a great devotion. The "antipope" John XXIII was another person entirely, Baldassare Cossa (1410-1419). He was elected during that period of the Great Western Schism (1377-1429) when there were two popes, one in Avignon with the Catholic French kings, and one in Rome. The Roman popes were later to be considered the "antipopes," and the Avignon popes the legitimate popes. But many Catholics of the time, including Saints, regarded Cossa as the legitimate pope. Some "antipopes" were listed as popes in the Annuario Pontifico as late as the 20th century.
Historically, just who is the true pope has been at times a matter of controversy. The tables of popes that you see in almanacs are often "jimmied" to favor the eventual political "winners." They fail to indicate just how much controvery there has been at times in determining who was the real pope. The period of the Great Western Schism should be highly instructive to traditional Catholics. The post-Vatican II period is not the only one in the history of the Church in which there have been legitimate disputes about the identify of the true pope.
The Neo-SSPX's Superior-Dictator, Bernie Fellay, in an April 14, 2013, letter to "Friends and Benefactors" criticized Francis-Bergoglio for "merely man-centered philanthropy." Now, six days later, Fellay's Press Director, Alain Lorans, claims that Fellay didn't criticize Bergoglio. Apparently, Fellay and Lorains couldn't get their story coordinated.
This incident is just more evidence that Fellay's Neo-SSPX is falling apart at the seams after some 100 priests, one-sixth of his entire clergy, have left Fellay because of his sycophancy to the Modernist New Order sect and its Newpopes. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the National Catholic Register.]
In his letter, Fellay showed himself completely immersed in the cult of the Newpapacy, claiming that "only the Successor of Peter can save the Church." This is a far cry from the traditional Catholic perspective, that it does not matter who the pope is, because the head of the Church is Christ, Whose doctrinal and moral teachings can never change.
Until the personal cult of the pope was established in the 1950s, most Catholics did not even know who the pope was. The story is told of the United States' first Catholic presidential candidate, Al Smith, Governor of New York, a (traditional) Catholic, who, when asked in 1928 what he thought of the latest papal encyclical, replied, "What's a papal encyclical?"
ESPN is standing by its National Basketball Association reporter Chris Broussard for his dead-on Christian condemnation of homosexuality after an NBA player, Jason Collins, "came out" on April 29, 2013, supposedly the first active participant in a major men's professional sport in the U.S. to do so. Some say that Collins's "coming out" was a desperate attempt to get publicity at the end of his failing sports career.
Naturally, the Modernist/Liberalist talking heads jumped on the "gay" bandwagon, fawning over Collins and calling not just for "tolerance" but also for "acceptance" of his prideful immorality. These are the same Modernist/Liberalists who want to ram immoral "gay marriage" down the throats of moral people, including Christians, Mohammedans, and observant Jews (not secularist Jews), who are constantly being intimidated into silence as "bigots" unless they knuckle under and reject God's own Natural Law.
In an appearance on ESPN’s "Outside the Lines," Broussard was asked for his personal opinion on Collins's comments. He did not hold back, but called homosexuality "open rebellion against God." [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the Washington Post.]
I'm a Christian. I don't agree with homosexuality. I think it's a sin, as I think all sex outside of marriage between a man and a woman is.... In talking to some people around the league, there's a lot of Christians in the NBA, and just because they disagree with that lifestyle, they don't want to be called bigoted and intolerant and things like that....
Personally, I don't believe that you can live an openly homosexual lifestyle or [have] openly premarital sex between heterosexuals. If you're openly living that type of lifestyle, then the Bible says you know them by their fruits; it says that's a sin. If you're openly living in unrepentant sin, whatever it may be, not just homosexuality, [but] adultery, fornication, premarital sex between heterosexuals, whatever it may be, I believe that's walking in open rebellion to God and to Jesus Christ. I would not characterize that person as a Christian because I do not think the Bible would characterize them as a Christian.
Surprisingly, and to its credit, the global sports giant ESPN (Entertainment and Sports Programming Network) did not back down to intimidation from the radical "gay lobby," but supported its broadcaster, Chris Broussard, who gave an excellent summary of the Biblical condemnation of homosexual acts, as well as adultery and fornication. You've never heard anything this direct, this clear, or this moral from the pseudo-Catholic likes of JPII-Wojtyla, Benedict-Ratzinger, or Francis-Bergoglio!
A "gay" sportswriter responded to Broussard's comments by stating that "Faith is personal." This statement constitutes the Great Lie of the Modernist heresy, so clearly "outed" and condemned by Pope Pius IX and Pope St. Pius X. The Christian Faith is not "personal," that is, subjective, on the part of each individual. Rather, it is an objective thing. There is one true Faith, and numerous false faiths. Individuals cannot make up moral doctrine as they go along. Murder is objectively wrong. Theft is objectively wrong. Homosexual acts are objectively wrong, gravely wrong. These truths are part of the Natural Law, not anything that a Church or a pope, much less an individual can change.
God exists whether an individual believes it or not. God's Natural and Moral Law exists whether a man chooses to follow it or not. Sodomy is biblically one of the Four Sins that Cry out to Heaven for Retribution, whether an individual wants to talk about it or not. Objective truth exists outside of the individual. Subjectivism, which is the basis of the Modernist heresy, leads to all kinds of subsidiary errors, like those that the Newchurch of the New Order and its Newpopes put out, explicity or implicity: "We all worship the same god," "All gods are equal," etc. Now the curse of Modernism has gone from what Paul VI-Montini called "the smoke of Satan" in the Newchurch of the New Order has spread out to infiltrate many non-religious organizations: like professional sports.
Any notion that Francis-Bergoglio was going to do anything to stop his Newchurch's Great Sex & Embezzlement Holocaust were further dashed on April 28, 2013, when Newvatican sources announced that Bergoglio will take no action against Newcardinal Keith O'Brien, Newarchbishop of Edinburgh, Scotland, who was exposed by four presbyters and a seminarian for having used color of authority to force himself upon them sexually. Bergoglio will take no further action against the sex predator, has launched no official investigation into O'Brien's predations, and his administration has announced that "there is just no way there is going to be some kind of public examination and a published report on this matter." Bergoglio himself is coming under increasing condemnation for continuing Benedict-Ratzinger's hands-off policy on sexual predators.
O'Brien played the now-common "apology game" in order to retain his status. When the presbyters made their charges public, O'Brien "apologized," admitted the truth of the charges, and recused himself from attending the conclave that elected Bergoglio as Newpope. When the presbyters had reported O'Brien's assaults to the Newpapal Nuncio in London, the nuncio had ordered them to shut up. But the courageous presbyters, fearing a cover-up, had stunned the world by going public with information about O'Brien's assaults. Bergoglio's spokesman has now refused to answer questions from the international press about the scandal, in a desperate attempt to keep the matter covered up to the degree still possible. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the Scotsman.]
Reports from Scotland confirm that not only is Bergoglio entrenched in not taking any action against this corrupt Newcardinal, but he is paying for his new home Dunbar in East Scotland, into which he moved on May 1, 2013.
Good Catholics, it has taken only two months for Francis-Bergoglio to be exposed as a sex-crime facilitator in his own right. If you're a crooked Newprelate, you'll get no public punishment from Bergoglio. And so the holocaust continues, with Bergoglio having already earned the title of "Third Paedophile Pope."
Christ taught in the Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:14-30) that to whom more is given, more is expected. Therefore, the Church considers the likelihood of many of the popes being damned, after the teaching of the Great Eastern Doctor of the Church, St. John Chrysostom, that "the floor of Hell is paved with the skulls of bishops," including the Bishops of Rome. The exceptions are principally some of the early pope-martyrs (but not all of them, as two were probably heretics, and one was excommunicated) and, of course, the only two Pope-Saints in the last 700 years, Pope St. Pius V and Pope St. Pius X.

The Newchurch of the New Order , which is desperate to recover credibility for the disasters that have occurred as a result of the Modernistic Second Vatican Council, is trying, contrary to Catholic teaching, to make phony "saints" out of its Newpopes -- every single one of them:
Wojtyla was also responsible for gutting the traditionally difficult requirements for canonization. In reality, Newchurch has no legitimate canonization process, only a "political" process that purports to call "venerable" and "blessed" some of the worst ilk conceivable. For further information, click on FAQ10: How Do You Explain These Traditional Catholic Beliefs? in the section "Canonizations - New Order."
Where are these despicable individuals now in the New Order sect's "saint-making" process? [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the Catholic News Service.]
Good Catholics, when will the Newchurch of the New Order recognize that it is finished? Once Catholic people cannot wait to leave it, some waiting in line to void their Newchurch registrations with their governments. When one considers the traditional Catholic sanctity of Pope St. Pius V and Pope St. Pius X against the odor of heresy emitted by such ilk as Roncalli, Montini, perhaps Luciani, and Wojtyla, one can conclude only that the New Order sect is vile, and certainly not Catholic!
