In the United States, many citizens have concluded that putative President J.R. Biden is mentally compromised with senile dementia. But it now appears that Francis-Bergoglio may be similarly afflicted. Every day his pogram against Traditional Catholics becomes more and more maniacal. Most recently, his statements at a private meeting with Newjesuits on his Canadian junket were leaked, and they are truly over the top -- and that is saying a lot for a man who uses the most vile and vulgar language, which no Newpope has ever used before.
While Francis-Bergoglio was on his apology tour in Canada, he exposed himself fully to a group of Newjesuits in a secret meeting on July 29, 2022, whose proceedings are just now leaking out. What the apostate Newpope said was so extreme that even the clueless pseudo-traditionalists must be giving serious consideration to leaving -- at last -- the Newchurch of the New Order, which is most certainly not the Catholic Church.
The dogmatic teaching of the Catholic Church is that Jesus Christ's public revelation has two, and only two, sources: Sacred Scripture (the Bible) and Sacred Tradition. To the contrary, Bergoglio the Apostate has now redefined Sacred Tradition as "dead life." "dead memory," and "paganism of thought."
But who is the real pagan in this scenario: the man who claims to be "pope," yet wears the pagan headdress of an Indian chief and worships the idol of a nude fertility goddess in St. Peters Basilica itself, or those Traditional Catholics who stand fast in the Catholic Faith and Tradition as it has been taught consistently for 2,000 years? As St. Vincent of Lerins (ob. ca. 445) put it: "Id teneamus, quod ubique, quod semper, quod ab omnibus creditum est; hoc est etenim vere proprieque catholicum [we must hold that which was believed everywhere, always, and by all; for this is truly and properly catholic].
Further, Bergoglio in his meeting taught heretical Relativism: the notion that there is no definitive moral teaching for mankind; everything is relative. This is the pernicious teaching of the Germans Immanuel Kant and Georg Hegel, and later Karl Marx, which is the basis of the Modernist heresy so strongly condemned by Pope St. Pius X. Relativism, or Subjectivism, is the basis of the Vatican II Anti-council's (1962-1965) Oecumenical Heresy: "we all worship the same gods" (Paganism) and "all religions are true" (Indifferentism).
The Modernist heresy so condemned by the true popes of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries that Bergoglio is openly teaching holds that the Decalogue (Ten Commandments) may have been true for Moses, but not for us. That sodomy may once have been One of the Four Sins that Cry out to Heaven for Vengeance, but is now acceptable for us. That abortion may once have been inconceivable, but now can be tolerated. That atheism may once have been detestable, but now we can make friends with it.
This is the vile and immoral teaching to which the pseudo-traditionalists who live and die with the Half New Order New Latin Mess of 1962 associate themselves when they associate with apostate sects and Newpopes. Yet this Mess, it is now crystal clear, was merely a stepping-stone to the full-blown Protestant-Masonic-Pagan New Mess of 1969, which is the only official Mess of Newchurch. The so-called "Extraordinary" Mess of 1962 is now no more, allowed only for a short time by the Unsaint JPII-Wojtyla and the Father of Modernism at the Anti-council, Benedict-Ratzinger. That time is now up. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the Crux News Service.]
Traditional Catholics, Francis-Bergoglio may be demented, but is clear and direct. He has basically called the pseudo-traditionalists hypocrites. And that they are: those who bend the knee to the apostate Newchurch of the New Order, run out of Newrome by its similarly apostate Newpopes, at least the latest of which were never ordained as priests or consecrated as bishops. Now the pseudo-traditionalists have so closely affiliated themselves with the evil that is the Newchurch of the New Order that they are paying the just price for their affiliation.to apostasy, which is now too obvious to deny. When you sell out to the Devil, you will eventually be stung in the derrière by that barbed tail for your duplicity and cowardice.
And you thought the Hebrews were bad. While Moses was receiving the Ten Commandments from God on Mount Sinai, the Jews, including Moses' own brother, the High Priest Aaron, were reverting back to paganism, worshipping the Golden Calf.
Now the Newchurch of the New Order is planning to worship idols, panicked by its precipitous fall in adherents since the Vatican II Anti-council (1962-1965), and especially since the turn of the century. Newseminaries are closing right and left, Newnuns and Newbrothers are going out of existence, invalid "Initiations" (formerly Baptisms), "Reconcisiliations" (formerly Penance), "Blessing of the Sick" (formerly Extreme Unction), weddings, and funerals in Newchurch are being left in the dust.
So the U.S. Conference of Catholic [Sic] [New]bishops has concocted a plan for a five-day National "Eucharistic Revival" in Indianapolis, Indiana, from July 17-21, 2024. This in spite of the fact that Newchurch gave up the Sacrament of the Most Holy Eucharist -- which it now calls merely "eucharist," without even a definite article or a capital letter or a "Most Holy" designation -- in 1968, when it stopped ordaining priests under the Sacrament of Holy Orders and started using a Protestantized New Ordinal merely to "install" invalidly "presbyters" (elders, like Protestant ministers). In 1969 Newchurch gave up the ghost entirely when it substituted for the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass a Protestant-Masonic-Pagan New Order service featuring unconsecrated (fake) cookies and Kool-aid. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Our Sunday Visitor.]
Traditional Catholics, the plans so far announced sound more like a Evangelistic Revival tent meeting than anything the least bit Catholic. That's the word the organizers are using: "Revival." Not Christian, not Marian, nothing to do with the True Mass or the True Saints. Even Billy Graham's tent revivals had more Catholicism than these Newchurch version. It's going to be a disaster in more ways than one.
According to the Gospel of St. Matthew, confirmed by St. Mark (15:27), St. Luke (23:33), and St. John (19:18), Christ was crucified next to two thieves. Thus did the strong hand of Roman justice deal with thieves: they paid the ultimate penalty for their crimes, and Christ said nothing against the practice.
Yet, as far as Francis-Bergoglio is concerned, if a Newbishop steals from the people and the Newchurch, he gets off scot free. If a Newbishop violates his vows and takes a mistress, he is allowed to abdicate quietly. No wonder Newchurch, which is most certainly not the Catholic Church, is in the perverted state in which we see it today.
On July 31, 2022, Indonesian Newbishop Hubertus Leting died. 69 of his own presbyters had had to turn him in for theft of 124,000 USD, stating that he had given the stolen money to his mistress. Even though the theft was made public in 2014, Bergoglio imposed no public penalty. Leting was allowed to abdicate quietly so as not to embarrass Newchurch or Bergoglio. Bergoglio never even publicly asked Leleng to return the stolen money.
Yet in the corrupt modus operandi of Newchurch, the thieving Newbishop, who stole from his own people and his own Newchurch, was lauded in eulogy at his funeral as a "pastoral figure." Such scandals are exactly why the true Catholic Church does not permit eulogies at funerals. But Newchurch is most certainly not the Catholic Church. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by UCA News.]
Traditional Catholics, the thieving decedent was -- in violation of Catholic practice -- even eulogized by two Newbishops. The Newchurch of the New Order is so corrupt that it is deaf to scandals like these that are forcing growing numbers of Newchurchers to renounce the Newchurch sect and its Newpope head. Of course, Bergoglio himself stands accused of embezzling charitable donors' money to the tune of almost half a billion USD, as is being revealed daily in the ongoing Newvatican trial.
Dear TRADITIO Fathers:
Do animals go to Heaven, or does their life end on this earth?
THE TRADITIO FATHERS REPLY.
The constant teaching of the Church is that animals do have a soul, that is, an "anima," or animating force. However, in the case of animals, this is not an "animus," a rational soul, capable of making moral choices; they operate by some form of instinct. Therefore, animals cannot merit Heaven, as can man.
As Catholics, we should bless the Lord for His wonderful creation, including those animals that help and accompany us in this life. They are a great gift and should be treated with the regard that they deserve as part of God's creation. But Catholics should not fall into the Millennialist heresy by romanticizing Heaven into some kind of "perfect earth." Heaven is the Beatific Vision, the immediate and direct perception of Almighty God. When you are in the presence of the Most Perfect and Most Beautiful God, everything else pales into oblivion.
It was reported on August 2, 2022, that the Newchurch cult Opus Dei has been charged by 43 girls aged 12-16 with enslaving them. Opus Dei, which was given a Pontifical Prelature by the Unsaint Newpope JPII-Wojtyla in 1982, has been routinely denounced as a criminal and dictatorial Newchurch group. It was exposed in Dan Brown's popular 2003 book and 2006 film, "The DaVinci Code," on the basis of persistent accusations for its criminal activity. The cult has been beloved of Neocon groups within Newchurch and operates under the personal direction of the Newpope.
The girls all came from low-income families when they were aged 12-to 16. Opus Dei, they charged, abducted them to Buenos Aires in the ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s, supposedly to give them an education. However, Opus Dei turned them into slaves, doing unpaid domestic work for high-ranking Opus Dei officials and presbyters. When the girls protested, they were drugged. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the Catholic News Agency.]
Traditional Catholics, Opus Dei is a New Order cult. It is a chameleon organization, being liberal or conservative, whichever benefits its agenda. There are numerous reports of how Opus Dei is operated as a cult and how it has harmed its adherents. When Newvatican was near bankruptcy in 1982, Opus Dei was reported to have bought off JPII-Wojtyla to become a "personal prelature" and to make its founder, Jose Maria Escriva, a Novus Ordo "Unsaint" in 2002.
Francis-Bergoglio is in the midst of conducting a pogrom against pseudo-traditionalists around the world, suppressing even the Half New Order "Extraordinary" New Latin Mess of 1962, which is most certainly not the Traditional Latin Mass. But less well known is that Bergoglio is shutting down even conservative Newchurchers, who do not use the New Latin Mess at all. Let alone pseudo-traditionalism, not even conservative Novus Ordoism is permitted by Bergoglio in the Newchurch of the New Order.
The Newdiocese of San Rafael, Argentina, was what passed for "conservative" in the Modernist landscape of the Newchurch of the New Order. The Newdiocese established in 1964 a Newseminary, Holy Mary Mother of God, which stood against the more radical versions of Novus Ordoism and gained a certain popularity among a subclass of Newchurchers, who would not fight for Traditional Catholicism, but were willing to settle for a conservative version of the Novus Ordo.
When a majority of presbyters at the Newseminary refused to comply with a directive to distribute the (fake) Novus Ordo cookie only to Newchurchers who would stand and take it in the hand, a major controversy arose in the conservative Newdiocese. Newclergy and laity together organized caravans of cars, demonstrations, and protests As a result, Bergoglio shut down the Newseminary in November 2020, and the ire of the Newchurchers then turned against Bergoglio.
In early 2022 one of the presbyters stung by Bergoglio's dictatorial stance wrote a letter to the Newpope asking, "Don't we [conservative Newchurchers] have a place in [New]church today?(" On July 9, Bergoglio wrote the presbyter back, and that reply has now become public. Essentially, Bergoglio told him: No, you are too rigid. (Rigidity is one of the hate terms that the Marxist/Modernist Bergoglio uses against both conservatives and pseudo-traditionalist Newchurchers.) [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the Catholic News Agency.]
Traditional Catholics, as Francis-Bergoglio is caught in an ever-increasing number of heretical acts and declarations, more and more Newchurchers are publicly declaring that he is a heretic and therefore is not a valid pope, according to the principle enunciated by the Doctor of the Church, St. Robert Bellarmine, Papa hereticus depositus est (A heretic pope is automatically deposed from office). Bergoglio has admitted to this fact at least twice that we know: once to the former head of the Neo-Society of St. Pius X, Bernie Fellay, when the latter was trying to become a full-fledged member of Newchurch, and once aboard Bergoglio's Newpapal airplane to the international press. Thus, Bergoglio himself is well aware that an increasing number of his own Newchurchers consider him a pretender to the Newpapacy, as well as Traditional Catholics.
Francis-Bergoglio must rue waking up each day. Large parts of the Western Newchurch are opposing him, some even calling him out for not being a true pope. Now the Eastern Newchurch is on the warpath against him, because he tied to impose upon it Novus Ordo practices. Whereas Western Newchurchers tend to be pansies and knuckle under the pressure from the apostate Newpopes, the Eastern Newchurchers have more guts. They are now rejecting Bergoglio to his face. So bad has it gotten that Bergoglio is trying to get the leader of the Eastern traditionalist revolt, Antony Kariyil, Major Newarchbishop of the Syro-Malabar Church, to abdicate, but it is at this point not at all sure that that he will accede to Bergoglio's will. If Bergoglio tries to force him out, all Newchurch in India may formally separate from the Argentinean Marxist Newpope.
At the center of the battle is the traditional practice that Western Newchurchers gave up on in the 1960s: the traditional orientation of the altar of sacrifice toward the East, the New Jerusalem, away from the congregation, not the New Order's cozy arrangement of the presbyter facing the congregation rather than God. Bergoglio has painted himself into a corner. Bergoglio has called a General Synod for 2023, in which he intends, like a Vatican III Anti-council, to destroy the foundations of the his Newchurch. But the Easterners have done Bergoglio one better. They retorted that their Synod elected Major Newarchbishop Kiriyil and the Bergoglio better accept that fact.
Kariyil has been leading a revolt of Eastern presbyters against Bergoglio's corrupt hatchetman, Newcardinal George Alencherry. Kariyil is described as "a true pastor who knows the hearts and minds of his flock." By all accounts, he has been pushed to the brink by Il Papa Dittatore Bergoglio's dictatatorial regime. Kariyil has many of the Eastern Newclergy and people united on his side. It is the Vatican II Anti-council all over again, but this time the Easterners may just win where the gutless Westerners refused to fight against the apostasy. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by UCA News.]
Traditional Catholics, whereas Major Newarchbishop Kariyil is highly respected, Francis-Bergoglio's henchman, Newcardinal Alencherry, is embroiled in charges of embezzlement in a land scam of Newchurch property and money-laundering. The Easterners have demanded his abdication and refuse to be subject to a "corrupt" appointee of Newrome. The Eastern presbyters have already passed a resolution stating that if Bergoglio tries to oust Kariyil, all Hell will break loose in a Second Great Eastern Schism against Bergoglio.
Dear TRADITIO Fathers:
For all of those pseudo-traditionalists who cover their eyes, nose, and mouth and say "pray, stay, and obey" the apostate Newchurch of the New Order, their cowardice not to have gotten out of the fake Newchurch long ago is finally catching up with them. In fact, in the last few days, they have been smacked aside the head with two great blows.
First, the Institute of Christ the King (ICR), the second-largest pseudo-traditionalist group simulating the Half New Order "Extraordinary" New Latin Mess of 1962, has lost its headquarters in Chicago, Illinois. The headquarters was shut down by Newcardinal Blase Cupich at the behest of Francis-Bergoglio.. The shutdown was supposed to have become effective in September 2022, but actually came one month early, on August 1, 2022. Then, on August 1, 2022, the largest pseudo-traditionalist group simulating the Half New Order "Extraordinary" New Latin Mess of 1962, the Fraternity of St. Peter (FSSP), was permanently expelled from its home Newcathedral in Lincoln, Nebraska, where it was holding a weekly Sunday Missa Cantata.
The Institute of Christ the King and the Fraternity of St. Peter are in fact not Traditional Catholic groups at all. They have long been knuckling under to the heretic Newchurch of the New Order, headed by the apostate Francis-Bergoglio and his Newpope predecessors. The ICR and FSSP are in fact "compromise" groups. They do not use the Traditional Latin Mass, but the Half New Order "Extraordinary" New Latin Mess of 1962, which was merely a stepping stone to the full-blown invalid (fake) New Mess of 1969. Worse than that, the ICR and FSSP also simulate that New Mess itself, on Novus Ordo altars. They also use the Newsacraments, the Newcatechism, the Newbible, the Newcanon Law, etc.
The ICR and FSSP have sworn their allegiance to the Newchurch and its anti-Catholic ilk, like Bergoglio and Cupich. The apostates are their bosses, and their bosses say now: Close up shop! Thou canst be pseudo-traditionalist no longer." In the case of the ICR, it seems that Heaven took direct control of the matter: after the ICR had raised millions of U.S. dollars to rebuild a church in Chicago as its headquarters, with plans to install a Novus Ordo dinner table in order that the New Mess could be simulated there from time to time, the Institute saw the monstrosity go up in flames, in a literal conflagration.
Will the "compromising" pseudo-traditionalists ever learn? Our Lord did not found a Church or establish a hierarchy in order that compromise of the true Catholic Faith would be the order of the day, or that one should have to "petition" for the Mass and Sacraments or request that unconsecrated (fake) bishops should act or teach like Catholic ones. None of that is Catholic thinking; it is heresy.
These "compromise" groups are now paying the price that they should have paid long ago. Under Newchurch and its Newpopes, the New Latin Mess "communities" will now have CLOSED signs posted upon their doors. Thank the Lord, there are independent Traditional Catholic churches, chapels, and oratories around the United States and around the world who have refused to sell out to the apostate Newchurch and its Newpopes, and have retained true Catholic priests, true Catholic Masses, true Catholic Sacraments, and true Catholic Faith and Morals.
In the past, Newchurchers have tried to pass off as "miracles" a grilled-cheese sandwich with the purported image of the Virgin Mary, a knothole in a tree in the shape of Mary, a bleeding statue that turned out to be exuding only leaking rust water, and now in Guadalajara, Mexico, a piece of Novus Ordo cookie was supposed to be beating like a heart. Because the Newchurch of the New Order, which is most certainly not the Catholic Church, gave up the Catholic priesthood in 1968 and the Catholic Mass in 1969, we know as a matter of faith that there is no true "miracle" here, but only the working of Satan to deceive. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the National Catholic Register.]
Newchurch has no "eucharistic miracles" because it gave up the Sacrament of the Most Holy Eucharist in 1968-1969. Even the presbyter involved in the fake did not dare to call it a "miracle." Among many other passages in Scripture, St. Paul warns in his Second Letter to the Corinthians (11:14) how Satan can deceive us by appearing to be an "angel of light" by faking "miracles." Jesus christ Himself tells us that "[Satan'[ shall shew great signs and wonders, insomuch as to deceive (if possible) even the elect" (Matthew 24:24/DRV).
Traditional Catholics, it is an article of the Catholic Faith that Satan does operate in this world, and we must be very careful not to fall for his malice and snares to promote the anti-Catholic Newchurch among his deceived Newchurchers. In any case, no "miracle" is an article of the Faith. Better for the clueless Newchurchers to memorize the Apostles Creed, which actually is an article of the Faith.
On his July 24-29, 2022, "apology tour" to the Canadian aborigines, the obsessed Francis-Bergoglio took the time on July 27 in connection with his first public fake (invalid) public Protestant-Masonic-Pagan New Mess there to lash out against his hated "traditionalists" within his Newchurch of the New Order yet again, continuing his pogrom against anything and everything Catholic. He called "traditionalism" the "dead faith of the living."
Bergoglio instructed the Canadian aborigines on the evils of "traditionalism," then hypocritically himself participated in the ancient pagan traditions of the aborigines. Apparently, Catholic traditions are verboten in Newchurch, but pagan rites, such as those of his beloved pagan fertility goddess Pachamama, which he blasphemously, idolatrously, and sacrilegiously installed and "blessed" before the high altar of St. Peter's Basilica in Newrome, are perfectly acceptable. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Infovaticana.]
Traditional Catholics, Francis-Bergoglio and his Newchurch predecessors fall under the condemnation of Jesus Christ against the leaders of the Church in His Own time: "[You are] hypocrites; because you are like to whited sepulchers, which outwardly appear to men beautiful but within are full of dead men's bones and of all filthiness. So you also outwardly indeed appear to men just: but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity" (Matthew 23:27-28/DRV). Nothing has changed in the immoral character of the high priests from Christ's time to our own. Bergoglio and his Newchurch predecessors claim to be "Catholic," whereas the world now sees them as outright pagans.
The Newchurch of the New Order, founded in 1964 at the Vatican II Anti-council to replace the Catholic Church as the "institutional" Church, has been the death blow to nuns and religious sisters, as it has been to the Newchurch presbyterate (since replacing the Catholic priesthood in 1968). But not to worry: the number of apostate Newbishops since Vatican II has increased by 250 per cent!
Here are the statistics of the devastation that the apostate Anti-council has wrought. The average age of a sister is now 80. Fewer than 1 per cent of the women religious in the United States today are under the age of 40. At the present rate, in 20 years the total number of Newchurch nuns and sisters in the country, now a paltry 42,000 compared to the number before the Anti-council, sink to below 1,000. Religious brothers are now almost extinct. And these statistics are provided by Newchurch itself, from its own Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate in Washington, D.C. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Catholic World News.]
Traditional Catholics, one of the main reasons cited for the dearth of religious in Newchurch is its Great Sex & Embezzlement Scandal, which has led to young people being scared off, afraid that some corpulent Newcardinal will rape them while the Newpope has not a care or concern. More young people are coming to the (correct) conclusion that the Newchurch of the New Order is certainly not the Catholic Church. So, how can anyone be said to have a "vocation" to an apostate Church that is not even Catholic? No wonder there are essentially no "vocations" to Newchurch.
