You've got to give some credit to those Newchurch fraudsters. They can be quite creative in their fraud of posing as "Catholics." But in Padua, Italy, on December 27, 2013, a gypsy woman turned the tables on them. She hypnotized the presbyter and stole the church's Christmas collections!
The woman made off with practically 3,000 U.S. dollars from Santa Giustina Abbey, after she had successfully gotten past the wacked-out Newchurch monks into the cloister area of the church, where the presence of women is supposed to be forbidden. After the presbyter came out of his trance, he discovered the theft and alerted police. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by United Press International the Italian ANSA news agency.]
Good Catholics, Newchurch clergy are always in a trance, believing that the New Order sect is Catholic. It isn't. Nor are the Newpopes Catholic. They aren't. These Newchurch fraudsters are essentially stealing the collection from hardworking people under false pretenses. This gypsy woman just played the Newchurch fraudsters one better!
The conviction of the first Newchurch official convicted for his cover-up of Newclergy crimes against children was overturned on December 26, 2013, on a technicality, but Newmonsignor William Lynn is not out of jail yet. Philadelphia prosecutors dispute the court decision and will appeal. They oppose bail and have filed to keep Lynn in prison until the appeals process is completed. Lynn's complicity was prominently featured originally in a 2005 Philadelphia Grand Jury report.
Lynn has already served 18 months of his three- to six-year term for child endangerment before an appellate court overturned the felony conviction, claiming that Lynn was convicted on a law enacted after he had left his post as Secretary for Clergy at the Philadelphia Newarchdiocese, but at the time had included only parents and caregivers. The facts of Lynn's involvement in a massive criminal cover-up, however, remains undisputed. He worked in cahoots with then Newcardinals Anthony Bevilacqua and Justin Rigali. The current Newarchbishop, Charlie Chaput, also supports the Newchurch official rather than the children victimized by Lynn and has personally visited Lynn twice in prison. There is no report that Chaput has visited any of the sodomized children.
"Because we will be appealing, the conviction still stands for now, and the defendant cannot be lawfully released until the end of the process," the Philadelphia District Attorney said in a statement. Lynn was convicted because he had reassigned known sex predators among his Newclergy to Newparishes in Philadelphia while he was the Newarchdiocese's Secretary for Clergy from 1992 to 2004. The trial court, in sentencing Lynn in July 2012, found that Newchurch had "enabled monsters in clerical garb ... to destroy the souls of children." [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the Associated Press.]
Good Catholics, here again we see that under Francis-Bergoglio nothing has changed in Newchurch's Great Sex & Embezzlement Holocaust. Newarchbishop Charlie Chaput is beloved of Newchurch conservatives, even though he was the principal performer at a Novus Ordo "Indian Feather" Mess. Bergoglio's Newchurch is sick unto death, and no fraudulent "Mr. Humble" P.R. campaign will save it.
Dear TRADITIO Fathers:
We were informed by the TRADITIO Network in 2011 that Benedict-Ratzinger would be commencing the Midnight Mess that year at 22:00, as he was too feeble to make it to Christmas. It appears that even this is too late for Francis Bergolio, who prefers a leisurely 21:30 start to the "Midnight" Mess. Nor did Bergoglio, even with the early start, make it to any Christmas day Mess, preferring to sleep in until 12:00, when he had to get up for his Urbi et Orbi message. Perhaps most surprising was that there appeared to be very little reporting on the lack of a Christmas day Mess at St. Peter's under this Newpope. I personally do not remember a time when there was no Midnight Mess and day Mess at St. Peters.
The TRADITIO FathersAnd this invalid Mess was performed by the unordained and unconsecrated Bergoglio, who, remember, was "installed" after the Freemason presbyter Hannibal Bugnini's Protestantized New Ordinal of 1968. But the "Midnight" Mess was not performed by Bergoglio alone. "Mr. Humble" needed the assistance of 300 other unordained Newclergymen to con-celebrate one of those Novus Ordo extravaganza Messes. What's in store for next year? The invalid "Mess of a Thousand"?!
Coming on the heels of his exposed cover-up of sex crimes upon children by his Dominican Republic Newarchbishop, Francis-Bergoglio has again continued Newchurch's Great Sex & Embezzlement Holocaust. He has refused to provide the United Nations Commission on the Rights of the Child with information on Newchurch's internal investigations into rape, sodomy, and other sexual attacks upon children by its Newchurch clergy, from the presbyter to the Newpope level. Bergoglio, in his official response to the United Nations demand, said that he wants to keep these crimes "confidential."
The United Nations Commission has summoned Bergoglio's representative to appear before it for cross-examination in Geneva in January 2014. So far, Bergoglio has been successful in "changing the subject" by turning attention away from Newchurch Paedophilia Holocaust to his "Mr. Humble" routine. That may change when the United Nations Commission's cross-examination of Newchurch takes front stage.
Bergoglio wants to have it both ways. Newvatrican signed the 1990 U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child, a treaty guaranteeing a full range of human rights for children, but Bergoglio will not answer to the terms of those guarantees. Newchurch has changed some of its "guidelines" on paper, but its Paedophilia Holocaust in reality goes on unabated, according to independent audits and press reports. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Reuters.]
Francis-Bergoglio's honeymoon continues after nine months among Modernists/Liberalists. Under the Vatican II Newpopes, the Catholic Church was transformed into yet another Protestant sect, most closely resembling the heretical Anglican/Episcopalian sect, which preserves a little more of the "smells and bells" than the other Protestant sects. Of course, most American Christians are Protestant. It all fits.
The Newpopes learned well from their Protestant colleagues, and tried to pull the same deception. It was in this vein that Benedict-Ratzinger came up with the "Extraordinary" Mess, fabricated by the Freemason presbyter, Hannibal Bugnini, which is just as invalid as any other Novus Ordo Mess because it is not performed by priests, but by unordained presbyters of the New Order sect. In 1968, Newchurch stopped conferring the Sacrament of Holy Orders and began merely to "install" ministers (presbyters) just like the Protestants.
When you read the latest CNN poll results, remember that all real Catholics long ago left the New Order sect. This poll was answered by Modernist/Liberalist Americans. Polls show that Americans, particularly Newchurchers, are more, not less, Modernist than their other Protestant brethren. Newchurchers are much more in favor of abortion and "gay" marriage, for example, than Protestant Fundamentalists and Evangelicals.
Naturally, it is the Americans who lead the Modernist/Liberalist chorus of praise for the Modernist Newpope. On December 24, 2013, CNN claimed that 88 per cent of these approve of Bergoglio's liberalization of the New Order sect. This is a triumph of P.R. Bergoglio sets up "photo ops": washing the feet of juvenile delinquents, admitting a homeless man to his birthday party, etc. The Modernist/Liberalists drool at the mouth. "Mr. Humble" can't stop talking about his common background. He was employed as a bar bouncer in Argentina. Bergoglio says that he can't judge sodomy, one of the Four Biblical Sins that Cry out to Heaven for Retribution. Bergoglio says that some of his best friends are Marxist Communists; they are "good people."
Americans agree with Bergoglio that they don't want to talk about Christ's doctrines. They don't want to talk about the moral evil of abortion and sodomy and paedophilia. They want to forget the fact that Newcardinals, Newbishops, and presbyters continue to sodomize with cover and institutional "forgiveness" provided by Bergoglio. They want to forget the fact that atheist Communism continues to run one-third of the world.
Sixty per cent of these daft Americans claim that Bergoglio is "doing a good job" in handling Newchurch's Great Sex & Embezzlement Holocaust. In fact, he has done nothing in nine months but announce an advisory committee that has no members and no portfolio. The Third Paedophile Newpope, Francis-Bergoglio, is just as much of a fraud as the First Paedophile Newpope JPII-Wojtyla and the Second Paedophile Newpope, Benedict-Ratzinger.
Bernie Fellay's hopes of becoming recognized by the Newchurch of the New Order have been dashed to smithereens by a December 22, 2013, declaration of Francis-Bergoglio's No. 3, Gerhard Mueller, Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the [New Order] Faith, and one of the first personal appointees of Francis-Bergoglio. Mueller has declared, from the same Newchurch office that Benedict-Ratzinger held from 1981 to 2005, that Fellay and his Neo-SSPX are "de facto schismatics" and "excommunicated sacramentally" from the perspective of Newchurch.
Muller's declaration was published in the Italian daily newspaper, Corriere della Sera. After eight years of "dialogue" between Fellay, the Neo-SSPX's Superior-Dictator, and Newpope Benedict-Ratzinger, Fellay's ambitions have now been finally rejected under the Bergoglio regime. Declared Muller: "the sacramental one [excommunication] remains.... They [the Neo-SSPX] also must change their approach and accept the conditions of the Catholic {Sic] Church and the Supreme Pontiff as the ultimate criterion of belonging."
Good Catholics, those, like Fellay, who foolishly think that they can outsmart the Devil, suffer, as a result of their overweening pride, the same destruction that Lucifer suffered. In the process, Fellay has destroyed his Neo-SSPX, from which true priests and laity cannot exit fast enough around the world. Fellay learned nothing from Our Lord's Parable of the House Built on Sand: "And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell, and great was the fall thereof"(Matthew 7:27/DRV).
The Newarchbishop of St. Paul-Minneapolis has been charged by a child with sexual assault. He is removed from his ministry after consultation with the Apostolic Nuncio in Washington, D.C., so you know that this charge is serious. Police are currently conducting an investigation of John Nienstedt. On December 17, 2013, the Newarchdiocese announced that Nienstedt has been removed from all "public ministry" and has retreated into silence. The charge involves an assault in 2009, which occurred after Nienstedt conducted one of those invalid Protestantized "Confirmation" ceremonies.
Newarchbishop Nienstedt has been under heavy public criticism because of a recent case in which one of his presbyters sexually assaulted children in his camper outside of a Newparish for over a decade up to 2013. Paedophile presbyter Curtis Wehmeyer, for the last eight years, engaged in sex crimes with children while Neinstedt knew about all about it, reported Minnesota Public Radio in its investigative report issued September 23, 2013. In that camper, with the shades drawn, the presbyter got drunk, smoked pot, and lured into the camper two children, plied them with alcohol, turned on pornography, and sexually assaulted the children, according to police records. When police came to arrest the presbyter, he told police that he could not be arrested because "way too many people depend on him." The presbyter is now behind bars at Minnesota State Prison.
Newarchbishop John Neinstedt was personally notified in writing by his Chief Canon Lawyer that Wehmeyer had a sexual addition and that the Newarchdiocese knew about it. Neinstedt had already violated Newchurcher's purported "code of conduct" several times. The Chief Canon Lawyer assumed that Neinsted would can Wehrmeyer and institutionalize him. But the Newarchbishop did not -- even after three more reports from parents. Instead, he covered up Wehrmeyer's crimes. Now it is Nienstedt himself who is personally charged in a sexual assault. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Catholic World News.]
Good Catholics, Newchurch is so corrupt at this point that it must be entirely flushed down the drain. It cannot be "reformed." The Second Paedophile Newpope, Benedict-Ratzinger, was worse than the First Paedophile Newpope, JPII-Wojtyla "The Unblessed," soon to become the "Unsaint." The Third Paedophile Newpope, Francis-Bergoglio, has now turned out to be even worse than Ratzinger. None of them have fired a single paedophile Newbishop in 35 years! That tells you that these Paedophile Newpopes are up to their own necks in the sewage!
Anybody who thinks that the Newchurch of the New Order actually runs by any rules should long ago have been disabused of that false notion. Newchurch follows neither Bible nor Tradition. The Newpopes simply make up their own religion as they go along. They don't even follow their own "canon law," but operate by fiat. And Francis-Bergoglio is the most arbitrary and anti-Catholic of the bunch. He has essentially denied Catholic doctrine, morals, and worship for some kind of warmed-over Marxist Modernism that would have made both the Father of Communism and the Arch-heretic Martin Luther proud.
One of the actions that the true Church took most seriously was the canonization of Saints. After all, if the Church proclaimed a phony as a Saint, millions of Catholic would be venerating a fraud. Therefore, the most stringent requirements and investigations had traditionally been imposed, often taking centuries before a candidate was canonized. Some theologians even purported to argue that such canonizations were infallible, although the Church's Principal Theologian, St. Thomas Aquinas, wise disagreed. For further information, click on FAQ10: sHow Do You Explain These Traditional Catholic Beliefs? in the TRADITIO Network's Library of Files (FAQs and Traditional Apologetics) department, in the section "Canonizations."
All that changed on January 25, 1983, the First Paedophile Newpope, JPII-Wojtyla, abandoned any semblance of truth or justice in Newchurch's now con-anization process by destroying the careful process that had been in place for centuries. Wojtyla was a typical Modernist Newchurcher, a destroyer Sacred Tradition. Wojtyla's new process was not religious, but political. Candidates were now judged not for their traditional sanctity, but for their "political correctness" for modern times. Wojtyla had even wanted to make the Arch-heretic Luther a New Order pseudo-saint in the millennial year 2000.
Wojtyla eliminated the role of the Advocatus Diaboli, or Devil's Advocate, whose job was to present the most effective counterarguments to a candidate's sanctity, thus to ensure that all contrary evidence was unearthed and a phony could not be raised to the honor of the altar. Wojtyla allowed the advocate supporting con-anization to reject any counter witnesses for "unsuitability." This practice has led to physicians most knowledgeable about cases of "miracles" to be rejected if they did not support con-anization. This fraud has led to a spate of phony miracles, unsupported by medical testimony of the physicians who most closely observed the cases, to ensure the Newchurch con-anization of unworthy, but "politically correct" candidates, such as Theresa of Calcutta and Wojtyla himself.
Before Wojtyla's perversion of Catholic teaching, the Church declared as Saints only those who had shown an heroic degree of sanctity and not simply to the first and common degree, which consists of the state of grace. This special and eminent degree is called the state of perfection, when the soul is entirely moved by the Holy Ghost. Wojtyla abandoned this traditional requirement of heroic perfection, according to the provisions of the Modernist Vatican II Council's unCatholic document, Lumen Gentium.
Another consequence of the flawed 1983 process is that the Newpopes have essentially relinquished their Newpapal role to one of mere confirmation of the judgment of the local bishop in the name of Vatican II "collegiality." That local bishop, of course, financially benefits from having con-anonized pseudo-saints from his Newdiocese.
Now Bergoglio has taken the fraud of New Order pseudo-saints a giant step further. He doesn't bother with investigations, miracles, or documentation at all. On December 17, 2013, he simply up and declared one Pierre Favre a pseudo-saint, Favre being a member of the Jesuit order of which Bergoglio himself claims to be a member. Bergoglio likes Favre's Modernism: he dialogued with anyone, "even with his opponents," the Protestant heretics of the "Reformation. In September 2013, Francis had already violated the traditional canonization process by declaring John XXIII-Roncalli, who called the Modernist Vatican II Council, though Roncalli failed to adduce even two miracles.

It is clear that Bergoglio's Newchurch of the New Order is just as much a fraud as its pseudo-saints!
Under the deceptive corporate name, "Catholic" League for Religious and Civil Rights, President and Chief Executive Officer Bill Donahue, has essentially served as a mouthpiece for the Newchurch of the New Order and its Newpopes. Donahue has been exposed here before for his hatred of traditional Catholic organizations who call the Newpopes for what they are: paedophile supporters and Modernist/Liberalist unCatholics, and now anti-Catholics.
It seems that Donahue has now gone too far in his support for the Paedophile Newpopes and their New Order sect. He tried to defend morally-corrupt Newchurch clergy by, as a new lawsuit against him maintains, defaming one of its victims, who is now suing Donahue for defamation and invasion of privacy. The victim charges that Donohue and his "Catholic" League published false statements about him in news releases that falsely stated the victim had been involved in a botched drug deal and implicated in a murder. Yet Donohue's statements were "absolutely false." The child victim even received a commendation by the Jackson County prosecutor for being a good citizen in assisting with the arrest of the actual murderer.
"It's a very sad thing that William Donohue and the Catholic League are attacking those who the [New Order presbyterate] has already abused. I now understand why other victims don't come forward. The things said about me are so cruel and offensive they cut to the core of my being. Abuse -- all forms of abuse -- has to stop," said the victim. Well, it's that the whole modus operandi of the paedophiliac New Order sect: to intimidate child victims?
Another altar boy, age 14, who had been repeatedly sodomized by a Newchurch monsignor committed suicide in 1983. The boy's parents had sued the diocese in 2011 and won a 2,250,000 dollar settlement from a wrongful-death lawsuit against the Kansas City-St. Joseph Newdiocese. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the Kansas City Star.]
Good Catholics, nothing has changed in the New Order sect under its Newpope Bergoglio. Children continue to be raped, sodomized, and sexually assaulted. Newchurchers with blinders on, like William Donahue and his "Catholic" League, have no sympathy for the child victims, but only unquestioning support for the Newchurch clergy who perpetrate these vile crimes. This is just another indication that Bergoglio's New Order sect is rotten to the core. No true Catholic should have anything to do with it.
Newcardinal Raymond Burke, who earned the eponym "Bully" because he tried to steal a semi-traditional church when he was Newarchbishop of St. Louis, Missouri, has now been dumped by Francis-Bergoglio because he was one of the remaining pseudo-traditionalist Newcardinals in the Curia. Although Burke will retain, for the time being, his sinecure on the court of the Signatura, Bergoglio has unceremoniously dumped him from his principal role as a leading member of the Congregation for [New Order] Bishops.
Although Burke was widely regarded as a Newchurch "traditionalist," this was pure propaganda. In addition to trying to take possession of the independently-founded semi-traditionalist St. Stanilaus Kosta Church, Burke turned over his Newcathedral to the Protestant Methodists to "consecrate" their "bishops" and marched in the local Masonic parade. Ironically, Newchurch no longer consecrates its own bishops, but merely installs them under the invalid New Order Ordinal of 1968, fabricated by the Freemason presbyter Hannibal Bugnini.
Appointed in Burke's place is Newcardinal Donald Wuerl, who earned the eponym "Wimp" because he refused as Newarchbishop of Washington, D.C., to stand up to pro-abortion politicians such as U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, and the late U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy, all of whom claimed to be "Catholic" while advocating and funding the murder of unborn children and encouraging the immoral practice of "gay" marriage.
Moreover, Wuerl suffered a great embarrassment when in an earlier year he had been chastised in an official Newcurial Rescript for being defective in his knowledge of Newchurch canon law. The Rescript suggested that the Newarchbishop (at that time) go back to a seminary for proper instruction. The Rescript was supposed to be confidential, but was leaked. Ironically, Wuerl at the time was on the New Order cable television network EWTN teaching a video course in -- Newchurch canon law!
Burke had been throwing his weight around to appoint fully New Order, but supposedly "conservative," Newbishops. Bergoglio's dumping of Burke has been interpreted by many Newvatican-watchers as a policy shift, by which Bergoglio is suppressing Newchurch "traditionalists" in his Newcuria and replacing them with full-out Modernist/Liberalists like Wuerl. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Catholic World News.]
Following on the heels of Time's Magazine's designing Francis-Bergoglio "Man of the Year 2013" to join Adolph Hitler as "Man of the Year 1938," the oldest homosexual magazine in the United States on December 17, 2013, named Bergoglio as its "Man of the Year 2013." The homosexual Advocate Magazine made the designation because, it said, Bergoglio had shown a "stark" change in anti-homosexual rhetoric when he turned his back on Christian doctrine when he told the international press: "If a person is homosexual and seeks God and has good will, who am I to judge?"
Hayes Franciscan High School, of Chicago, Illinois, is another one of those phony New Order institutions that pose as "Catholic," but are actually worse than pagan. Although its school motto boasts, In Virum Perfectum [to make the perfect man], the world now knows that its own Newclergy fell far short of that goal.
Rochelle Daniels, an English teacher at the school, reported to the Department of Children and Family Services the rape of one of the students at the school. According to Bergoglio's unCatholic Newchurch, this is what you are supposed to do, but sixteen days later Daniels was fired by the Newchurch Franciscan order, and Bergoglio hasn't lifted a finger to help her. So she is suing to get her job back.
The school's Newclergy leaders told Daniels that they didn't want the attack revealed to the Department. They wanted to cover it up internally. These Newclergy may be charged with child endangerment, as State law mandates that the school must report possible sex crimes to the Department. The school's president has admitted that he violated the law by failing to contact the Department, choosing instead to work with the students and parents involved to cover up the matter internally.
Good Catholics, he were have more evidence that New Order sect continues to lie and cover up crimes against children. Nothing has changed in Bergoglio's Newchurch, except that he has put his smiling face upon vile crimes. Anyone who still remains in that sect after it has been exposed so many times for perpetrating the vilest of crimes should consider himself an accomplice to child rape and wear the millstone that Christ prescribed for the violators of children.
A second religious film has been announced for 2014: Katherine of Alexandria, which boasts of including many leading Hollywood actors. Already Nicaea had been announced for 2014, which tells the story of the Defender of the Faith, St. Athanasius of Alexandria, who joined St. Catherine in fighting the Arian heretics, including popes, who had taken over the Catholic Church in the fourth century. Catherine was one of the greatest Saints of the early Church. She is even recognized by the Eastern Orthodox, the Anglicans, and the Lutherans. She was revered as one of the Fourteen Auxiliary Saints, to whom for two millennia Catholics particularly turned for their outstanding powers of intercession in Heaven. However, her valiant orthodoxy embarrassed the unCatholic Newchurch of the New Order, which therefore struck her feastday from its calendar in 1969.
Catherine refused marriage to the pagan Roman Emperor Maxentius, even when he killed her family, and continually denounced his brutal enforcement of pagan religion upon the Roman empire. Maxentius, obsessed with her beauty, brought Catherine before fifty of Rome's finest scholars in an open court in Alexandria, where she eloquently demolished their arguments. When the nascent Christian emperor, Constantine the Great, played in the film by veteran actor Edward Fox, learned of Catherine's whereabouts and imprisonment at the hands of Maxentius, he led his army from York to save her. However, he was too late. She was martyred for the Faith in the year 304.
Also starring in the film as the Roman orator Cornelius Gallus is the multi-awarded Peter O'Toole, who passed away on December 15, 2013, so this religious film will be the actor's last. Fortunately, filming on the movie had been completed. In 2012, the 80-year-old O'Toole had announced his retirement from acting, but could not pass up a role in this story of the venerated Martyr. Peter O'Toole was unfortunately a fallen-away Catholic, who, however, maintained a lifetime reverence toward Christ. Perhaps he ultimately found salvation in that reverence, which he exhibited in many of the religious roles that he played during his prodigious acting career. These roles included that of Pope Paul III in The Tudors (2008), Bishop Cauchon in Joan of Arc (1999), and William Williamson in Molokai, the story of Fr. Damien, "The Leper Priest" (1999).
But especially for Catholics, O'Toole's signal role was that of King Henry II in Becket (1964), the telling of the king's epoch-making conflict with the Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Becket, who was killed by the king's retainers while he was chanting Pontifical Vespers at the altar of Canterbury Cathedral. Thomas Becket thus became one of English's most noted Martyrs and Saints, and King Henry was constrained by the people to perform harsh penance under the lash and to prostrate himself at the tomb of the Martyr. If you haven't viewed this wonderful religious film, you should not fail to be edified by it, now available on DVD.
Bergoglio is scrambling, trying to walk back the Marxists statements contained in his November 24, 2013, Apostolic Exhortation, Evangelii gaudium. The TRADITIO Network was the first to denounce the document as a Marxist screed, then, a few days later, leading news-talk commentator Rush Limbaugh, joined the chorus. Since then, many international commentators, and even some Newchurch officials, have joined the chorus.
Bergoglio was obviously stung by the outrage against him for his offensive document. On December 15, 2013, he told a reporter for the Italian daily, La Stampa, "The Marxist ideology is wrong. But I have met many Marxists in my life who are good people, so I don't feel offended." The implications of this statement are monumental. We TRADITIO Fathers are unaware of any purported pope ever publicly associating himself with Marxists, Communists, heretics, and atheists. Bergoglio didn't deny the association -- how could he? Instead, he tried to "nuance" his published statement by stating: "I was not, I repeat, speaking from a technical point of view." That meaningless excuse is right up there with Ratzinger's meaningless "hermeneutic of continuity."
On another hot topic raised in the interview, Bergoglio was asked directly about children: "What do you have to say about this innocent suffering [of children]?" It is revealing that the "Marxist" completely avoided any allusion to the Great Sex and Embezzlement Holocaust that continues to rock his Newchurch of the New Order. In nine months, Bergoglio hasn't taken one substantive step against his criminal clergy, his No. 1 public problem. Instead, he told the international press that he could not judge homosexuals, who amongst his clergy have been far and away the greatest perpetrators of despicable crimes against children.
Just as we TRADITIO Fathers had predicted, the Half New Order Vatican II "Motu" Mess of 1962+, which the pseudo-traditionalists erroneously term the "Extraordinary" Mess, which is certainly not the Traditional Latin Mass, is being suppressed by the anti-Catholic Newpope Francis-Bergoglio. Joining the TRADITIO Network, leading news-talk commentator Rush Limbaugh has also denounced Bergoglio as a Marxist, as has Fox News's senior judicial analyst, Judge Andrew Napolitano. Pseudo-traditionalists, that is, those who choose to remain under the thumb of the unCatholic Newchurch of the New Order headed by Bergoglio, are now feeling the chastisement of their hypocrisy, as Bergoglio and his Newchurch gradually deprive them of their beloved "Extraordinary" pseudo-Mess. All the Newchurch pseudo-traditionalists can do now deplore their Newpope's openly Modernist, and even Communist, agenda.
Bergoglio came out with a fury against the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate, a growing order of several hundred priests, seminarians and nuns that was founded in Italy in 1990 as an offshoot of the Neo-Franciscan order. Bergoglio launched an investigation into the order after five of its presbyters complained that the order was taking on an overly traditionalist bent, with the Half New Order "Motu" Mess of 1962+, erroneously termed the "Extraordinary" Mess in Latin, being performed more and more at the expense of the Full-blown New Order Mess of 1969 in the vulgar tongues.
Bergoglio forbad the friars from performing the "Extraordinary" Mess unless they got special permission, a provision that openly vitiated Benedict-Ratzinger's Motu Proprio Summorum pontificum of 2007. The cuckolded and hypocritical pseudo-traditionalists claimed that Bergoglio was imposing an "unjust discrimination" upon them. Bergoglio has placed the Neo-Franciscan order's founder under house arrest while the order is returned to Modernist Vatican II principles.
On December 8, 2013, Bergoglio's inquisitor, in the name of the Newpope, issued a series of sanctions that have stunned observers for their seeming severity:
In contrast, when the Modernist nuns of the United States denied Catholic doctrine, they were given a mere slap on the wrist. They were not disbanded. The cuckolded pseudo-traditionalists have charged that a double standard is at play, according to which Bergoglio comes down hard on traditionalist groups and favors more liberalist/Marxist groups.
Bergoglio has made clear his disdain for traditionalists within his Newchurch, saying they are self-absorbed "retrogrades" and "ideologues," who aren't helping the Newchurch's mission to lower its doctrine and morals to meet current secular standards. In the face of Newchurch pseudo-traditionalists' calls for Bergoglio to fire his inquisitor, Bergoglio responded through his spokesman that the man is "a sage, esteemed and experienced administrator" and contumeliously denounced the pseudo-traditionalists for asking him to be fired. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the Associated Press.]
With one out of every six of his priests abandoning him and whole chapels now deserting him, the Neo-SSPX's Superior-Dictator, Bernie Fellay, has announced that he is cutting his fourth "Rosary Crusade" by 60 per cent. He came to the realization that he could not phony up the originally-announced goal of 12,000,000 Rosaries, so he has dropped the number to 5,000,000. In announcing the reduction of the number, Fellay "apologizes" for the reduction in a footnote announcing the change.
Fellay has abused these "Rosary Crusades" for political purposes in his programme of trying to become a unit of the Newchurch of the New Order. Heaven rejected his last three "Rosary Crusades," which ended in personal failure for him and his Neo-SSPX. His attempted "deal" with the Second Paedophile Newpope, Benedict-Ratzinger, to become a unit of Newchurch fell apart, and that one's successor, Francis-Bergoglio, has rejected any deals with Fellay. In fact, Bergoglio has started the process of limiting the Half New Order Vatican II "Extrordinary Mess" of 1962+ and is preaching an anti-Catholicism that denies Catholic doctrine, morals, and worship.
Good Catholics, Fellay long ago forgot St. Paul's warning: Nolite errare: Deus non irridetur [Be not deceived: God is not mocked] (Galatians 6:7/DRV). Fellay has tried to manipulate Newpopes and even Heaven itself, and has been slapped down every time. To quote another warning, which historically preceded the political fall of Julius Caesar and Abraham Lincoln: sic semper tyrannis!
A new internet petition is circulating by perhaps well motivated, but ignorant Newchurchers to do away with "communion" in the hand dealt out by lay ministers and ministresses. The reality is that the Newchurch of the New Order doesn't have "communion" in the hand and hasn't had it since 1968. In fact, Newchurch doesn't have communion at all!
Newchurch did away with the Sacrament of Holy Orders in 1968 and no longer has priests "to offer the Sacrifice of the Mass for the living and the dead," but merely installs presbyters "to preside over the assembly of the people." Thus, Newchurch no longer has a priesthood. Moreover, in 1969 the Newchurch of the New Order replaced the Mass with an invalid Protestant-Masonic-Pagan service. Thus, Newchurch no longer has a Mass.
Without a valid priesthood and a valid Mass, Newchurch services -- including both Novus Ordo and "Extraordinary" Messes -- have no communion. Newchurchers are munching on mere cookies and swilling mere Kool-Aid. Traditional Catholic churches and chapels, of course, continue to have both the valid Catholic priesthood, the valid Traditional Latin Mass, and valid Holy Communion. No petition is necessary.
You don't seem to have been reading the Daily Commentaries of the TRADITIO Fathers. Otherwise, by now you would be informed in detail about the anti-Catholicism of the Newchurch of the New Order: its lack of Catholic doctrine, Catholic morals, and a valid Mass and Sacraments. If you want to be a Catholic, you need to get away from this false Faith completely. Treat it exactly as you would a Protestant sect, because that it what it is. It doesn't matter what the sign on the door says. Newchurch continues to use the term "Catholic" in order to lure you into its Protestant deceit.
You have been totally deceived if you think that you can change the anti-Catholic Newchurch with a petition. You are trying to avoid collision with the anti-Catholic iceberg by rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. You are participating in a fraud -- and now you know it, if you didn't before, so you have no excuse not to get out of the Newchurch of the New Order sect once and for all and find a traditional Catholic church or chapel.

In 1938, Time magazine named Nazi Fuhrer Adolph Hitler as its Man of the Year 1938. In 2013, Time has named the Marxist Newpope Francis-Bergoglio to that same notariety, claiming that he is "poised to transform" Newchurch, which traditional Catholics know for a certainly is not the true Catholic Church. Time falls into the usual Modernist propaganda on this anti-Catholic Newpope, praising his auditing of his Vatican Bank and appointing a "commission" on his Newclergy's continuing sex crimes against children. In reality, Bergoglio has been all talk and no action. His former auditor is now being tried in an Italian court for fraud and money-laundering for the Mafia through Bergoglio's bank. And after nine months Bergoglio's commission hasn't even been named or given its charge.
When we read that propaganda, the first thing that came to mind for us TRADITIO Fathers was how much Bergoglio is like the arch-heretic Martin Luther and his Protestant Revolution. Fortunately, the dogmatic Council of Trent intervened and engineered the Catholic Counter-revolution. Although half of Europe was lost forever to God's true Faith, at least a third of Europe was saved and carried the true Faith to the New World.
But there were those posing as Catholics who hated what the Council of Trent had done: defined and canonized the Traditional Latin Mass, the Traditional Latin Sacraments, Catholic doctrine, and Catholic morality. These dissidents from Catholicism subsequently joined with the Freemasons and the Modernists, and bided their time. They were unbelievably patient, but finally, after 400 years, their opportunity came. In the 1950s, with Pope Pius XII bending to the deceits of the Freemason presbyter, Hannibal Bugnini, whom that pope himself, probably ignorant of Bugnini's Freemasonic and Modernist goals, had appointed to lead the Modernist liturgical revolution.
That Freemasonic appointee of Pius XII threw down the gauntlet with the Modernist changes that began the destruction of the Traditional Latin Mass in 1956 and 1960. Consequently, it was a relatively easy thing for the Modernists, including Josef Ratzinger, to take over the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) and turn it to the "dark side": the heresy of Modernism that Pope St. Pius X at the turn of the century had condemned as the "combination of all heresies" [summa omnium heresium]. Thence began the Newchurch of the New Order, which by 1969 boasted of an invalid Mess, corrupted doctrine, and morals fit for a pig-stye.
During the last months of 2013, an entire oratory has left Bernie Fellay's Neo-SSPX and gone over to The Resistance, the general term used to denote the 100 priests and thousands of laypeople who have abandoned the NSSPX's Superior-Dictator Fellay because of his programme to join the New Order sect and his dictatorship over the NSSPX. The Oratorio de la Familia Bogado Cabral in Ciudad del Leste, Paraguay, has determined that Fellay's NSSPX does not represent the true Society of St. Pius X that traditional Catholic Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre originally founded in 1970. A former NSSPX seminarian from the Oratory has left Fellay's La Reja Seminary near Buenos Aires, Argentina, and will soon be enrolling in the new Seminary of the Society of St. Pius X of the Strict Observance in the United States.
The Oratory has written Fellay's District Superior of South America and told him not to send any priests "because they will no longer be welcome." Reports have it that the next Neo-SSPX church to join The Resistance will be the Church of Nuestra Senora de Lourdes in Paraguay's capital city of Asuncion.
The Resistance was started in the United States with the founding of the SSPX-SO by the Vienna Five on August 10, 2012, which rejects Fellay and embraces the original traditional Catholic principles of Archbishop Lefebvre's SSPX. Thence it spread to Great Britain and other countries throughout the world. The Resistance is currently in the process of purchasing a headquarters building outside of London.
Fr. Joseph Pfeiffer was elected by his colleagues to head the SSPX-SO for a transitional period. The Neo-SSPX's senior bishop, Richard Williamson, has already made several Apostolic Visitations around the world to support the goals of The Resistance. As a results of these efforts, Fellay's Neo-SSPX has been crumbling, with one-sixth of his clergy now having abandoned him, and thousands of laypeople doing so as well.
It seems that the TRADITIO Network is attracting some leading supporters in the news media to join in its denunciation of Francis-Bergoglio as a Communist because of his November 24, 2013, Apostolic Exhortation Evangelii gaudium.. The TRADITIO Network was the first media network to call this spade a spade.
On December 3, 2013, shortly after the TRADITIO Network issued its denunciation, leading news and talk host Rush Limbaugh called Bergoglio a "Marxist" Now, leading cable network Fox News's Senior Judicial Analyst, Judge Andrew Napolitano, in a December 5, 2013, column in the Washington Post, lashed out against Bergoglio for placing "youth unemployment" over "issues of life and death," such as abortion, the destruction of marriage, and euthanasia.
Napolitano sat on the New Jersey bench from 1987 to 1995, becoming the state's youngest then-sitting Superior Court judge. He taught at Seton Hall University School of Law for eleven years. Then he joined Fox News as its Senior Judicial Analyst. He was graduated from Notre Dame Law School. He saw there how the once-Catholic university had been corrupted by the Newchurch of the New Order. He subsequently decided to shun the New Order sect and now describes himself as a "traditional Catholic." He decries the post-Vatican II watering down of Sacred Tradition.
In his Washington Post column, Napolitano denounced Bergoglio for the Communist economic views expressed in his exhortation:
[Bergoglio] attacks free-market capitalism because it takes too long for the poor to get rich. "They are still waiting," the pope wrote. Without capitalism, which rewards hard work and sacrifice, they will wait forever. No economic system in history has alleviated more poverty, generated more opportunity, and helped more formerly poor people become rich than capitalism. The essence of capitalism goes to the core of Catholic teaching: the personal freedom of every person. Capitalism is freedom to risk, freedom to work, freedom to save, freedom to retain the fruits of one's labors, freedom to own property, and freedom to give to charity. The pope would do well to pray for those who have used government to steal freedom so as to satisfy their lust for power, and for those who have bowed to government so as to become rich from governmental benefits and not by the fruits of their own labors.
Napolitano went on to state that traditional Catholic doctrine places an emphasis on charity, but not by government force:
It is impossible to be charitable with someone else's money. That's theft, not charity. If you give until it hurts, freely and out of love, and seek nothing temporal in return, you have built up treasure in Heaven. However, if the government takes from you and redistributes your wealth to those whom the government has decided to benefit -- rich and poor alike -- what merit is there in that for you?
Such pronouncements from Bergoglio Napolitano slams as "Marxist." Napolitano chastises Bergoglio for failing to recognize that "failed systems like socialism lead to ashes, not wealth." Napolitano undercuts Bergoglio's feigned authority on such matters by reminding us of what Pope Pius XI wrote, defining the Catholic position: "No one can be at the same time a sincere Catholic and a true Socialist." Napolitano publicly states that Bergoglio has apostatized from the "orthodox" Catholic Faith (which is a polite way of saying that Bergoglio is a heretic) and that, therefore, we should pray for his "return to orthodoxy."
Good Catholics, it seems that Bergoglio's anti-Catholicism is so patent that even secular media leaders like Limbaugh and Judge Napolitano see the situation clergy: Bergoglio must be shunned because of his open Marxism. It is hard to imagine that a true pope would be an espoused Communist, but that is what the anti-Catholic Newchurch of the New Order has apparently produced in Bergoglio.
Uh-oh. Is Francis-Bergoglio going down the same path as Benedict-Ratzinger to a short Newpapacy? We TRADITIO Fathers anticipate that the Bergoglio reign will last no more than two years. We are not predicting whether he will vacate by a natural death, assassination, or abdication, voluntary or forced by Newvatican officials, who will get tired of his constant foul-ups once the "Mr. Humble" act wears thin.
The December 4, 2013, statement from Newvatican claims that Bergoglio postponed a private audience that day because he was "fatigued." What is revealing is that Newvatican denies that there is "no cause for alarm." When Newvatican officials deny what would otherwise be a minor matter, you can be sure that they are hiding something!
Remember JPII-Wojtyla? Newvatican denied the fact obvious to everyone in the world that Wojtyla had Parkinson's Disease. Even in his last days, Newvatican officials falsely told the press that he was performing Mess in his bedroom, when his physician's official medical report, later published in the official Acta Apostolicae Sedis, indicated that he was rendered essentially unconscious by septicemia and a fever of 40 degrees Celsius.
Remember Benedict-Ratzinger? Newvatican claimed that he was in great health for a man in his mid eighties, in spite of the fact that the world saw that he could not even walk down the aisle of St. Peter's Basilica, but had to be shoved on a moving platform. Even Ratzinger himself contradicted his press spokesman's statement, claiming that he resigned because of ill health.
The December 4, 2013, statement from Newvatican serves only to heighten suspicions that there is a serious problem hidden under the surface from the public. Remember, Bergoglio was never fully vetted, because he was a "dark horse" for Newpope.
And why was Bergoglio "fatigued"? He had a public audience that day, said Newpapal spokesman Federico Lombardi, and he has been attending meetings with members of Newcardinals. That doesn't seem like such a heavy schedule, but very much like the schedule that Ratzinger, a man some ten years older, was able to handle. Nor was this the first time that Bergoglio had canceled because of illness. On November 15, 2013, he postponed another audience when he was suffering from what his spokeman described as the "flu." Bergoglio will turn 77 on December 17, 2013. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Le Figaro.]
Every head of state knows the trick -- from Obama, Merkel, and Cameron on down. If you want to fool people by seeming to be doing something, but really don't want to do anything, appoint a commission! When the commission reports a years later, you don't have to follow its recommendations. That's exactly what Bergoglio has done now. Rather than tackling the problem that tens of thousands of his Newcardinals, Newbishops, and presbyters are criminal paedophiles, he has done nothing about Newchurch Problem No. 1 in his last nine months. Like Benedict-Ratzinger, he hasn't fired a single one of his criminal Newbishops. Oh, there was that Limburger bishop who spent some money on church buildings, but that wasn't criminal. And he wasn't fired -- not exactly.
On December 5, 2013, after being constantly lambasted in the international press for doing nothing about Newchurch's No. 1 problem, its paedophile Newclergy, Bergoglio took "action": he "formed a commission," after tens of thousands of sexual assaults on children from his presbyters to his Newcardinals. Advocates for the child victims immediately characterized Bergoglio's move as another "toothless Church panel," "meaningless," "useless," and like giving a "band-aid to an advanced cancer patient." Even Newchurch itself admitted that the controlling role of the useless Congregation for the Doctrine of the [New Order] Faith "will not change." This Congregation, once headed by Ratzinger, has historically viewed its role not as protecting children, but as protecting Newchurch's paedophile clergy.
Bergoglio hasn't yet given the commission its specific charge and hasn't appointed any of its members. Whatever the commission's specific charge turns out to be, it has no power. It can only "recommend." Before Bergoglio, we have all seen this P.R. game played by Benedict-Ratzinger. Children now continue to be raped and sodomized by Bergoglio's Newchurch clergy, at a rate higher than before, according to several recent studies. The Survivors Network of those Abused by Pr[esbyter]s (SNAP) has completely given up on Bergoglio and his Newchurch "authorities." The organization's position now is that secular authorities should deal with Newchurch's clergy sex crimes because the Newpopes are incompetent to do so.
Meanwhile, Bergoglio has instructed his people not to respond to the United Nations investigation into Newchurch's child abuse. Newvatican is a signatory to the Convention on the Rights of the Child, but hypocritically refuses to honor its provisions. Bergoglio has also failed to meet with the child victims of his Newclergy. He is too busy playing the "Mr. Humble" P.R. game for the press. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Agence France-Press.]
Good Catholics, Bergoglio is no better than Pontius Pilate. Bergoglio publicly washed his hands of responsibility for his criminal Newclergy, claiming that "it's up to bishops and dioceses to implement programmes to protect children, not the Holy See." And just who appoints these criminal bishops? The Holy See, that is, Bergolio!
The pseudo-traditionalists, those who claim to be traditional, yet serve the anti-Catholic New Order sect, have come up with a new ploy so that they can stay with the Newchurch of the New Order rather than abandon it for the fraud that it now is. Fr. Paul Kramer, author of The Devil's Final Battle, once associated with the Neo-SSPX, now a Fatimist Grunerian, not surprisingly came up with it.
Although Kramer proclaimed himself a sede-vacantist because of Francis-Bergoglio's Modernist/Communist November 24, 2013, Apostolic Exhortation Evangelii gaudium, he has changed his mind again. He still doesn't think that Bergoglio is pope: Benedict-Ratzinger is! Kramer claims that Ratzinger didn't abdicate on February 28, 2013, at least not legally because "he was forced into it."
Despite the fact that Ratzinger seems quite happy flitting between the luxury of his retirement villa in the Vatican Gardens and his castle at Gandolfo, Kramer claims that Ratzinger didn't want to abdicate.
Despite the fact that Ratzinger has appeared in public several times, quite at ease and smiling with Newpope Bergoglio, whom he himself recognizes as the reigning Newpope, Kramer claims that Ratznger didn't want to abdicate.
Despite the fact that Ratzinger was implicated by his intimates and Italian investigative journalists in the crimes of paedophilia-facilitation, bank fraud, and money-laundering, with the noose growing tighter and tighter, Kramer claims that Ratzinger didn't want to abdicate.
Despite the fact that Ratzinger's intimate friend, Paolo Gabrieli, turned over hundreds of pages of documentation to the press to prove that Ratzinger was corrupt, Kramer claims that Ratzinger didn't want to abdicate.
Good Catholics, the pseudo-traditionalists, like Kramer, just can't seem to deal with reality. They are more comfortable concocting fanciful chimerae than being Roman, that is, brutally realistic and practical. This is not advanced theological calculus. None of the Newpopes, whether they are valid popes or not, have taught or practiced Catholic doctrine, morals, or worship. They are, at best, warmed-over Protestants. That situation the Fathers and Doctors of the Church have clearly taught about, so traditional Catholics need not to be confused, as, for example:
By disobedience, the Pope can separate himself from Christ despite the fact that he is head of the Church, for above all, the unity of the Church is dependent upon its relationship with Christ.... He would do that if he did not observe that which the Universal Church observes in basing herself on the Tradition of the Apostles, or if he did not observe that which has been ordained for the whole world by the universal Councils or by the authority of the Apostolic See. Especially is this true with regard to the divine liturgy, as, for example, if he did not wish personally to follow the universal customs and rites of the Church. This same holds true for other aspects of the liturgy in a very general fashion, as would be the case of one unwilling to celebrate with priestly vestments, or in consecrated places, or with candles, or if he refused to make the sign of the cross as other priests do, or other similar things which, in a general way, relate to perpetual usage in conformity with the Canons.
By thus separating himself apart, and with obstinacy, from the observance of the universal customs and rites of the Church, the Pope could fall into schism.... Thus it is that [Pope] Innocent [III] states that it is necessary to obey a Pope in all things as long as he does not himself go against the universal customs of the Church, but should he go against the universal customs of the church, he ought not to be obeyed. [Summa de Ecclesia]
Fatimist presbyter par excellence Nicholas Gruner has taken a once little-known apparition and has made it into an industry. To make that work, he has to stay "recognized" by the New Order sect establishment. What he never mentions, however, is that that sect doesn't recognize him as one of their own presbyters "in good standing." Push came to shove in St. Peter's Square on October 13, 2013, when Francis-Bergoglio purported to "consecrate" Mary, but not in the way that Gruner and his Fatimists have been demanding for years. One wonders why, in honesty, Gruner didn't boycott the event altogether. But there he was, with his Newchurch pals.
Obviously, Bergoglio's New Order sect has Gruner's number. Obviously, Vatican Police have him on its "no-fly" list. A Vatican security guard picked Gruner from the crowd of thousands and asked him to leave because the New Order sect considers him a "suspended" presbyter. He had presumptuously taken up a seat in the "privileged section" next to Bergoglio. You have to give Gruner some credit. The man has hutzpah!
Commandante Dominico Giani, the Director of Security Services of the Vatican City State, no less, asked Gruner, "Aren't you suspended a divinis?" No security guard, even the head of security, is going to ask a technical question like that without having been put up to it in advance by a superior officer, some Newcardinal perhaps? Gruner tried to argue technicalities, but the Guardia's head put his prevarication off by saying, "My job is security.... Don't go near the pope."
It is clear that the New Order sect, to which Gruner claims he still belongs, has no particular love for the likes of Gruner. The attitude of Bergoglio and his regime is that traditional Catholics, even pseudo-traditionalists like Gruner, are personae non gratae. They are dangerous to Bergoglio's Modernist regime and his Communist agenda.
Bergoglio has often accused traditional Catholics of being "Pelagians." How he ever came up with that one is a mystery. Like Benedict-Ratzinger's "hermeneutic of continuity," these Newpopes love to use these ultimately meaningless phrases. It is a quality of Modernism, and of the Modernist Vatican II Council. Pelagianism is essentially the denial of Original Sin and God's grace. If there is one thing that traditional Catholics don't deny, it is Original Sin. The Pelagianistic teaching is more associated with the principles of Mormonism!
Good Catholics, we couldn't care less about what Bergoglio and his New Order sect think about Gruner. Who would listen to a Modernist/Communist in such a matter? After all, JPII-Wojtyla in 1988 went beyond pseudo-suspension and actually pseudo-excommunicated one of the very few actual Catholic bishops left, traditional Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre. The problem is that, like all pseudo-traditionalists, Gruner wants to have his cake and eat it too. He criticizes, mildly, the New Order establishment that calls itself "Catholic," but at the same time he wants that anti-Catholic sect's "imprimatur," so that its Newbishops and presbyters can continue to populate his incessant Fatima conferences. This is the Achilles heel of all pseudo-traditionalists, those who claim to be traditional, yet serve the anti-Catholic New Order sect. They should follow St. Peter's example: either fish or cut bait!
Newchurch's dirty secret is out now -- in a big way. Leading conservative radio talk-show host Rush Limbaugh on his December 3, 2013, radio program openly called Francis-Bergoglio a "pure Marxist" and a hypocrite because of his November 24, 2013, Apostolic Exhortation Evangelii gaudium. Nor is Limbaugh the only non-Catholic to recognize this fact. The international wire services and major world newspapers are carrying the same condemnation that the TRADITIO Network carried as soon as Bergoglio's screed was published. Limbaugh publicly attacked Bergoglio's Communism in these words:
You know, the [New]pope, Pope Francis -- this is astounding -- has issued an official papal proclamation, and it's sad. It's actually unbelievable. The [New]pope has written, in part, about the utter evils of capitalism. And I have to tell you, I've got parts of it here I can share with you. It's sad because this [New]pope makes it very clear he doesn't know what he's talking about when it comes to capitalism and socialism and so forth. Wait 'til you hear it.
So much for "infallibility"! Just like so many Americans in their opinion of Barack Obama, now that he has been caught in outright lies to win secular elections, Limbaugh, like so many other Catholics and non-Catholics, has done a complete turnaround on Bergoglio:
Up until this, I have to tell you, I was admiring the man. I thought he was going a little overboard on the common-man touch, and I thought there might have been a little bit of P.R. involved there.... But this that I came across last night totally befuddled me. If it weren't for capitalism, I don't know where the Catholic Church would be.... But the pope has now gone beyond Catholicism here, and this is purely political.... I have been numerous times to the Vatican. It wouldn't exist without tons of money.... This is just pure Marxism coming out of the mouth of the pope.
Then Limbaugh went on to expose the hypocrisy of Bergoglio:
The Catholic Church, the American Catholic Church, has an annual budget of 170 billion dollars. I think that's more than General Electric earns every year. And the Catholic Church of America is the largest landholder in Manhattan. I mean, they have a lot of money.
As if to substantiate the TRADITIO Network's charges, now joined in by Limbaugh, the trial of the man described as Bergoglio's Chief Financial Officer, Nunzio Scaurano, began on December 4, 2013, in Rome. Scaurano has been charged not by Bergoglio and his Newvatican, but by the secular Italian Police with corruption and money-laundering, specifically for acting as Bergoglio's intermediary in transferring large sums of money from the Vatican Bank to pay off "friends of the Vatican." Beroglio's bank handles upwards of ten billions of U.S. dollars for all the Newvatican departments, "Catholic" charities, and religious congregations. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Agence France-Presse.]
Good Catholics, what we TRADITIO Fathers have known all along, Rush Limbaugh and many other conservatives are just starting to figure out: Bergoglio's line is not Catholic. Bergoglio is in fact espousing in the economic area, as well as the moral, doctrinal, and liturgical areas, a virulent anti-Catholicism. He is also a hypocrite because he condemns in others the very corruption of which he himself is the head! St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, Pope St. Pius V, Pope St. Pius X, and all the other Saints of the Catholic Church would not recognize as Catholic anything that he is saying.
Dear TRADITIO Fathers:
A traditional Catholic arranged to bring over the Fatima statue for a visit and to have an "oecumenical prayer service" under the auspices of the New Order sect. For this, he has been roundly criticized. Would it be sinful to participate in such an affair?
The TRADITIO Fathers Reply:
Yes, it would. The principle of the Catholic Church, often enunciated by theologians and popes, is that Catholics are not to join in prayers with those of false Faiths, such as is the New Order sect. This is traditionally condemned as syncretism, a Mortal Sin against the First Commandment of God: "I am the Lord thy God; thou shalt not have strange gods before me." The sin is that you are creating scandal by your association in condemned public worship with persons or churches having the "odor of heresy," as the Church calls it.
A good practical rule of thumb is to consider the New Order sect as Protestant, as in fact it is -- and even worse, as it had the true Faith once and then abandoned it. Ask yourself: would you pray in a Protestant church with Protestants? Of course not! So don't do it with the Protestant Newchurchers.
On December 2, 2013, the current Oecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople, Bartholomew I, who holds a primacy of honor in the formally-schismatic Eastern Orthodox sect, denied widespread accusations that he is a Freemason. His "All-Holiness" had created controversy in his Eastern Orthodox sect when he participated in an "oecumenical," that is, condemned syncretistic, "dialogue."
Oecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew had consequently been accused of Freemasonry, the same anti-Catholic Modernist movement with which the chief architect of the invalid New Order Mess, Hannibal Bugnini, was associated. Bartholomew (1991-) isn't the first Oecumenical Patriarch to face such accusations. His predecessors Athenagoras I (1948-72) and Demetrios I (1972-91) were also accused of being Freemasons. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Catholic World News.]
It is an historical fact that the Oecumenical Patriarch of the schismatic Eastern Orthodox Church, Athenagoras I, was in cahoots with the Modernist Newpope Paul VI-Montini, who purported in 1964, at the kick-off of the Newchurch of the New Order, to lift the 1054 excommunication of the schismatic Eastern Orthodox sect, just as Athenagoras lifted the excommunication the Roman Church. The Eastern Orthodox sect has also long held membership in the syncretistic World Council of Churches, composed mostly of heretical Protestant sects.
On December 2, 2013, Newcardinal Timothy Dolan, of New York, New York, told NBC's "Meet the Press" that he "wants to be a cheerleader" for a secular official, who, to boot, is a Protestant heretic or, as many say, a covert Mohammedan. That official is the United States' Barack Obama. "We want to be with you," said Dolan, "to be one of your cheerleaders." Since when is it the role of Dolan's Newchurch to "cheerlead" a secular government?
The Modernist/Liberalist Dolan has a problem. In late 2012 Obama lied to him about his respect for Dolan's New Order sect and then proceeded to force Dolan to accept abortion and contraception as part of Obama's socialist healthcare takeover known as "Obamacare." Dolan, then the President of the U.S. Conference of Catholic [Sic] Bishops, came off looking like a fool. Dolan and his co-Newbishops had already sold out to the concept of socialized healthcare since Hillary Clinton's 1994 plan.
Good Catholics, at a time when Newchurch has corrupted its Mess to invalidity, when it no longer has a valid priesthood, when its morality stinks of the pig-stye, and its Newchurchers, as even Newchurch itself admits, are too ignorant to know even the basics of Catholic doctrine, Dolan and his fellow Newbishops prefer to turn religion into a political game. Well, they lost the Catholic Faith after the Modernist Vatican II Council. What else would you expect?
Dear TRADITIO Fathers:
December 8th, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, will mark the fourteenth anniversary of the day on which a traditional Catholic priest baptized me into the traditional Catholic Faith. A friend of mine was also baptized on that day. He was Anglican, and I was Protestant. Newchurchers ask me all the time why I became traditional Catholic and if I have ever read anything published by the Newdioceses or talked with one of their presbyters about how I am wrong for being a traditional Catholic. I always respond, "Why would I listen to the New Order clergy when I was brought into the traditional Catholic Faith by a higher power?" When they ask, "What higher power?" I always respond, "God." I then share the story of my conversion.
I will never forget that prayer to be granted the true Faith. After years of being lost spiritually and of losing all faith in the Protestant sects, I prayed to God, asking him to help me find a church that was traditional, historical, and where I had to study the Faith before I was accepted by that church. Then it dawned on me, why not look into the Catholic Church?
One day I was helping my fellow convert to-be, and in the middle of our work, I said to him, thinking that he was Catholic, "I want to become a Catholic. Can you help me?" He pointed out that he was Anglican, but was also thinking of becoming a Catholic and then said, "If you are going to do this, then you need to do it the right way. There is the Newchurch and then there is the traditional Catholic Church." I was totally ignorant of what those words meant at the time. I knew nothing of Vatican II nor of the crisis in the Church.
He had already been in contact with the members of a traditional Catholic Church, and after meeting with them together, we decided to assist at our First Mass. The first Catholic Mass at which I ever assisted was a Traditional Latin High Mass. As the Mass started, I knew that this traditional Catholic church was the answer to my prayers. My decision was further reinforced by the traditional Catholic priest, who explained to me about what it meant to be Catholic and that I would have at least a year of catechism study before I could be baptized.
I am so thankful for those events in my life. Had it not been for my friend pointing this traditional Catholic church out to me, for meeting my first traditional Catholic priest, and for that Traditional Latin High Mass, I know that I would still be lost. If I had gone out on my own in search of the true Faith, I would have ignorantly walked into a New Order Mess, and I know that I would never have converted. I would have seen the New Order Mess (or even the Half New Order "Extraordinary" ("Motu") Mess and thought, "This is the same nonsense that I am trying to leave."
I then say to the Newchurchers, "I am a traditional Catholic because God commanded it. If all those events were not a sign from God about where he wanted me, then please explain me what else it could be." My story has left speechless every Newchurchers to whom I have told it.
Many readers of these Daily Commentaries from the TRADITIO Fathers have inquired why the priests of the Society of St. Pius X did not immediately rise up against the Neo-SSPX's Superior-Dictator Bernie Fellay when he lost his grip on Catholic doctrine and betrayed Archbishop-Founder Marcel Lefebvre's work. Now, in a November 30, 2013, bulletin, independent traditional Catholic bishop Richard Williamson, once the SSPX's senior bishop and now the unofficial leader of "The Resistance" against Fellay, has published six reasons for this sorry situation in Fellay's organization:
Bishop Williamson states that for years, Fellay's double-talk deceived everybody except a small minority of clear-sighted souls. We TRADITIO Fathers are happy to say that we were never taken in by Fellay's duplicity. We spoke out from the beginning about what his plans were, and all our predictions came true -- to the letter.
Fellay unleased his foul-mouthed and mendacious minions against us and a few courageous French web sites at that time. Yet now some hundred Neo-SSPX priests, and even Bishop Williamson himself, have come to admit that the TRADITIO Fathers were right on the money all along. Too bad they did not see from the start the light that was so obvious to us, but continued to walk in the Fellayite darkness. They might then have been able to dump Fellay years ago and use that valuable time to kick-start their "Resistance." Now it is more of an uphill battle for them than it needed to be, if only they had listened years ago to the traditional Catholic perspicacity to be found here.
According to Bernie Fellay, Superior-Dictator of the Neo-SSPX, Fr. Patrick Girouard committed an unforgiveable "sin" because the respected Canadian priest remained faithful to the traditional Catholic principles of SSPX Founder, Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, and not to Fellay's own New Order corruption of them. For his "sin," Fellay has expelled Fr. Girouard from the traitorous NSSPX, which under Fellay's regime has turned its back on its Archbishop-Founder's traditional Catholic principles. Girouard has thus joined senior NSSPX Bishop Richard Williamson and dozens of other priests, whom Fellay has expelled.
Fellay's policies to bring about a sellout to the New Order sect, imposed with the dictatorial hand of a Hitler or Stalin, has brought about a countermovement, which is re-founded upon the traditional Catholic principles of Archbishop Lefebvre, one of the leaders of the group of bishops at the Modernist Vatican II Council (1962-1965) to maintain Catholicism. The growing cadre of former NSSPX priests is variously known as The Resistance or the Society of St. Pius X of the Strict Observance. Currently, a headquarters outside of London is in the process of being purchased. Now as many as one hundred priests have given Fellay the raspberry and left him to join Bishop Richard Williamson, Fr. Joseph Pfeiffer, and others as independent Catholic priests.
On October 27, 2013, Fr. Girouard announced that he had received a letter of warning from Fellay's Canadian agent in an effort to get Girouard out of Canada, as part of Fellay's regular ploy to transfer priests across the world so that they cannot build any loyalty with their congregations. Girouard says that he is "faithful to the Society established by the Archbishop and has never left it." However, he can no longer go along with the Neo-SSPX established under the dictatorship of Bernie Fellay and his lieutenants.
On November 25, 2013, Fellay personally sent Fr. Girouard a final expulsion letter -- in vulgar French. Fellay was not even traditional enough to issue the missive in canonic Latin! Girouard answered Fellay's tyranny quite clearly in these words:
In reality, what we have to understand is that I have never belonged, and by the grace of God will never belong, to the Neo-SSPX that has been created at the July 2012 General Chapter. A Neo-SSPX that has indeed opened officially the door to a recognition by Modernist Rome, despite the last instructions of Archbishop Lefebvre. That door has remained wide open ever since, and every single Bishop or Priest who stood up against the change has been subjected to a "legal" guillotine. Even if it is sad to see the foundation of Archbishop Lefebvre being highjacked, as Rome itself has been, for a long time, there is one positive aspect to this decree of expulsion: to me, it is only an official confirmation that I have remained faithful to the old SSPX, founded by Archbishop Lefebvre in November 1970!
Pseudo-traditionalists clinging to the Novus Ordo-run "Extraordinary" Mess, that is, the Half New Ordo Vatican II "Motu" Mess of 1962+, which is certainly not the Traditional Latin Mass, have taken yet another hit under the Francis-Bergoglio regime. Under his new Pastoral Plan, Newcardinal Sean O'Malley, of Boston, Massachusetts, has disbanded the Latin Mass Community of Mary Immaculate at Lourdes in Upper Newton Falls. This was a so-called "open" Newparish, in which anyone from the Newarchdiocese could register.
The Newparishioners of the Latin Mass Community, having sold their souls to the New Order sect, thought that they were safe. They should have been forewarned. The "Extraordinary" Mess had been shut down at Holy Trinity Church in Newton Falls and the Motarians shuffled off to Upper Newton Falls to join an existing "Ordinary Mess," that is, invalid Novus Ordo Mess, congregation.
Hoist by their own petard, the "obedient" Motarians tried to jawbone the O'Malley into keeping the Latin Mass Community at Upper Newton Falls -- to no avail. O'Malley has decreed that he has made a "final decision" to shut down the "Extraordinary" Mess, the matter is closed, and there is to be no further discussion.
Good Catholics, when are these sell-out Motarians going to get the message? Their beloved Half New Order "Extraordinary" with some Vatican II Latin thrown in was a Great "Motu" Mess Hoax on the part of Benedict-Ratzinger. Now Francis-Bergoglio is pulling the rug out even from that. The Motarians are trying to play the same game as the sellout Superior-Dictator of the Neo-SSPX, Bernie Fellay, who thought that he could outfox "The Fox" Ratzinger. All these pseudo-traditionalist sellouts to the Traditional Catholic Faith have been taught the lesson: When you play with Hell fire, you get roasted -- eternally!
