Francis-Bergoglio suffered yet another defeat on September 25, 2022, when the Lucerne canton of Switzerland overwhelmingly voted in a referrendum against Bergoglio and refused to fund his project of a new barracks for the Swiss Guard stationed in Newvatican. The vote was 28.5 percent for Bergoglio, 71.5 per cent against, in refusing to allocate 400,000 USD for the project. Earlier in September 2022, Newvatican admitted that its latest recruiting drive for more Swiss Guards to protect Bergoglio failed to attract a single young Swiss man to the Guard.
Funding for the 60,000,000 USD barracks project is supposed to come from private and public donations and from the Swiss cantons. Private and public donations have dried up after Bergoglio was fingered in an ongoing court case in Newvatican as the "mastermind" behind the embezzlement of 500,000,000 in charitable donations from Newchurchers and conversion of the donations into non-charitable uses contrary to the intent of the donors. And now the large Swiss canton of Lucerne has thrown the project back into Bergoglio's face with a resounding Nein!
One reason for the rejection may be the fact that Bergoglio has indicated his desire to destroy the Guard as it has existed since Pope Julius II in 1506 and turn it into a "coed" experiment. Traditionally, guardsmen must be male, Swiss citizens, single, between the ages of 19-30, at least 172 centimetres tall, athletic, and in good health. The current barracks house 135 guardsmen in 12 rooms, in which women cannot be accommodated. Another reason why Bergoglio has had no takers is the fact that in 2014 he became embroiled in scandal when it was revealed that the Guards were "regularly propositioned for sodomy by a 'gay lobby' of [Newchurch] bishops, cardinals and pr[esbyters]," and Bergoglio, as usual, did nothing about it. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the Crux News Service.]
Traditional Catholics, a Newvatican spokesman in a carefully-worded statement implied that the project is now in jeopardy because of lack of funding and lack of recruits. It seems that Francis-Bergoglio's ignominy and his attempts to destroy the Swiss Guard as traditionally constituted continuously since 1506 have boomeranged against another of his narcissistic programmes. The irony is that even the Swiss are no longer supporting the Swiss Guard.
Having already stated that he can't judge sodomites and that some of his best friends are atheists, Francis-Bergoglio, at his September 21, 2022, General Audience in St. Peter's Square, has branched out to embrace (literally) a congeries of "gays," lesbians, bisexuals, and transsexuals operating in Italy under the organization called "The Tent of Jonathan." In August 2022 he embraced (literally) so-called "transsexuals," who mutilate their bodies in violation of the Fifth Commandment of God.
In addition to the gross immoralities openly supported by this organization, its very name is apparently a blasphemous reference to the Jonathan of the Old Testament. It is a ploy of such unnatural organizations to implicate falsely in their immoralities the most prominent figures of history. Jonathan, the virtuous son of King Saul and loyal friend of King David against his father, is described in the First Book of Kings,; thus, is a target of such unnatural organizations. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the National Catholic Reporter.]
Traditional Catholics, those in the "Tent" viciously reject Christians, who reject their gross immoralities as against the Natural Law of God. The Marxist/Modernist Francis-Bergoglio is happy to support these immoralities, just as he has been supporting and colluding with Newchurch's Great Sex & Embezzlement Holocaust, exonerating all of his high-ranking paedophile Newclergy. He has even publicly told parents not to condemn such gross immoralities in their children. Just recently, Bergoglio imposed no sanction against the second-highest-ranking official in the German Newchurch, who himself admitted that he had colluded in paedophile activities. No wonder Newchurch is sinking fast, both in attendance and in donations, so that it is teetering now on the brink of bankruptcy.
Report after report proves that the Newchurch of the New Order is rampant with embezzlement. More money from the Newchurch collection plate is going into the pockets of Newchurch presbyters, "nuns," and Newchurch school administrators, as documented here in past Daily Commentaries. Even Francis-Bergoglio has gotten into the act, having been fingered in sworn Newvatican court testimony as the mastermind behind the embezzlement of almost 500,000,000 USD in a London real-estate fraud, which converted money from Newchurchers' donations earmarked for the poor to shore up Bergoglio's tottering regime.
On September 19, 2022, Newparish administratrix Deborah True was arrested by Vero Beach, Florida, police, after she admitted embezzling 1,500,000 USD of the Newchurch collection plate in a conspiracy with the presbyter-pastor Richard Murphy of Holy Cross Newchurch. Over a period of five years, the two diverted the collection plate into a secret bank account for their personal use.
The administratrix used 500,000 USD of the money to pay off her personal debts and deposited another 150,000 into her personal checking account. The presbyter-pastor apparently diverted the remainding 850,000 to his own personal use. It seems that the presbyter-embezzler died in 2020, and the money that he embezzlement is still being sought. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the National Catholic Register.]
Traditional Catholics, the Newdiocese of Palm Beach, Florida, and the Newparishioners were completely fooled by the embezzlement team of Murphy and True. Murphy had hoodwinked the Newparish under three Newpopes: the "Unsaint" JPII-Wojtyla, the "Nazi Youth" Josef Ratzinger, and the Marxist Francis-Bergoglio. The moral of this story, as of so many other similar stories of Newchurch's Great Sex & Embezzlement Holocaust: anyone who donates a cent to Newchurch is throwing his money away.
The Bible was deeply studied by the Fathers and Doctors of the Church, whose writings of interpretation and guidance are highly regarded in the Church, some even at the doctrinal level. Sacred Scripture, however, is only one of the sources of Public Revelation (the other being Sacred Tradition), and the Bible itself makes it clear that the people are to be instructed in such matters primarily by those who are ordained to preach the Gospel.
Our Lord frequently states that the faith is to be known primarily by "hearing," that is by preaching, not by private "reading." For Catholics, this hearing ordinarily consists of passages proclaimed at Holy Mass and their explanation in the priest's sermon. In fact, the Acts of the Apostles (8:28-31/DRV) in the New Testament, through the episode of St. Philip and the Ethiopian, makes this point very clearly:
And he was returning, sitting in his chariot and reading Isaias the prophet. And the Spirit said to Philip: Go near and join thyself to this chariot. And Philip running thither, heard him reading the prophet Isaias. And he said: Thinkest thou that thou understandest what thou readest? Who said: And how can I, unless some man shew me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
Most often Bible study groups are a case of the "blind leading the blind" (Matthew 14:31/DRV). When the Protestants substituted "private interpretation," wrenched from the Tradition of the Church and the wisdom of the Fathers and Doctors of the Church, they fell into creating an heretical sect. The Newchurch of the New Order, which is most certainly not the Catholic Church, but actually a Protestant-Masonic-Pagan sect, is now doing the same thing. These Bible study groups simply serve as a forum for Modernists to mouth off with their own personal opinions under a false veneer of "authority," in place of the authority of the bimillennial Church and the Fathers and Doctors of the Church.
Another great problem with such "private interpretation" is that practically none of the participants comprehend the Sacred Languages in which the Bible is actually written. They rely upon flawed "translations." Actually, the very concept of "translation" is misleading. No language can be accurately "translated" into another; all a "translation" provides is a gist. That is why the Church has viewed "translations" into the vulgar tongues with great concern. Originally the Protestants, and now Newchurch, has preyed upon the people by "translating out" and manipulating the teachings of Scripture. Moreover, so-called "word studies" that the Protestants do are essentially worthless, as they do not involve the actual words of the Bible, but somebody's contrived "translation" of them.
This is not to say that some benefit cannot be derived from a reading of Scripture, which is commendable within the proper context. But one must always be careful not to attribute "private interpretation" in their ignorance of the Sacred Languages and the elucidation of the Fathers and Doctors of the Church.
The information has already leaked out in the international press: the Marxist/Modernist Newpope Francis-Bergoglio is planning to renew for the third biennial term his "secret" deal, selling out the Newchurch of the New Order to Communist China's Dictator Xi Jinping and his Chinese Communist Party. Xi will continue to exercise the de facto power of the Newpapacy in appointing all Newbishops for Red Chinese Newdioceses, as Xi has been doing for the last four years. These Newbishops must swear allegiance to the Chinese Communist Party.
It is really no surprise that the apostate Newpope Bergoglio would continue to sell out to Communist China yet again, even though Xi Jinping and his Chinese Communist Party continue to murder Bergoglio's Newbishops and presbyters and to shut down Newchurches. Now Xi has upped the ante against Bergoglio by putting Joseph Zen, Newcardinal of Hong Kong, and his companions on trial for doing charitable works.
Bergoglio hasn't lifted a finger to save Zen. Bergoglio could easily threaten not to renew the sellout deal if Zen is not freed. Moreover, even though Xi froze the Newpope out and canceled his planned meeting with Bergoglio at Kazakhstan on September 12-15, 2022, Bergoglio is nevertheless going to sweeten the pot further and accede to Xi's demand to move Newvatican's mission from formerly-British Hong Kong in the south to Beijing, right under Xi's watchful eye.
A number of human-rights organizations have already condemned Bergoglio for the move. Communist China continues to kill Newchurch, Christian, Muslim, Uyghur, and Buddhist clergy, forces abortions, and engages in rampant child labor. Newcardinal Gerhard Muller, former Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the [New Order], denounced Bergoglio for his cowardice in not standing up for the 90-year-old Newcardinal Joseph Zen against the Chinese Communists who want to railroad him into prison. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Reuters.]
Traditional Catholics, Francis-Bergoglio has given up the Newpapacy. Even he has admitted to doubting that he is a valid pope. Compare Bergoglio's sellout to what Pope Pius XII did when Red China, then under the Communist Dictator Mao Tse-tung, murdered Catholics. He issued his 1949 Decree Against Communism, declaring Catholics who professed Communist doctrine to be excommunicates from the Faith.
A scathing 600-page report issued on September 20, 2022, by the University of Osnabruck documents sexual violence against children suborned by Franz-Josef Bode, Newbishop of Osnabruck, Germany. The report indicts Bode, who has been for five years Vice President of the German [New]bishops' Conference. He is also Vice President in Germany of Francis-Bergoglio's "Synodal Way" scam, which aims to replace Newchurch with a synodal One World Religion devoid of any shred of Catholicism.
Bode was completely caught with his cassock down in the report entitled "Sexual Violence against Minors and the Vulnerable by Clergy in the [Newchurch] Diocese of Osnabruck." Yet he has refused to abdicate, but wants to continue to head the subornation of paedophile crimes, of which he has been in control since 1995. The report charges Bode with "repeatedly" keeping his criminal Newclergy in contact with vulnerable children. In effect, he was acting as a perverted pimp in the sexual assault of children by his Newclergy. In a statement two days after the report was issued, Bode essentially admitted his guilt and blamed "The System." Yet Bergoglio has not fired him. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the Catholic New Agency Deutsch.]
Traditional Catholics, it will come as no surprise that this Newchurch bishop and so many others in Newchurch like him are pushing for deaconnesses in contravention of Catholic teaching and want to "bless" sodomite "unions," in contravention of God's Natural Law, Catholic teaching, and Sacred Scripture (the Bible), which denounces sodomy as one of the Four Biblical Sins that Cry out to Heaven for Retribution.
It is said that even animals are smart enough not to soil the place where they live. Apparently, Newchurch doesn't meet even that low standard On September 15, 2022, a Newchurch parish pastor-presbyter, Jesus Martínez Canas, admitted that he gave permission to the secular government of Rioja, Spain, to have a pair of joteros, dance on the "altar" of the Newparish temple. The jota is a kind of whirling dervish dance complete with castanets and guitar. In fact, Newchurches have not had altars since 1969, when the heretic Newpope Paul VI-Montini abolished the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and replaced it with a New Order Protestantized service "presided" over by unordained Protestantized presbyters-ministers, who are not priests, simulated on a "dinner table."
As if there were any doubt that Newchurch's New Order Mess is a fake (invalid), incidents such as this prove that even Newchurchers and their unordained Protestantized presbyters don't even believe they have an altar or a Mass. Thus, it was easy to rent out the "dinner table" for the purpose of "promoting tourism." There have been other instances reported of New Church "altars" being rented out to be danced upon. In another instance previously reported in these Daily Commentaries, a pornographic film was shot on a Newparish "altar" with the presbyter-pastor himself starring in the film nude with his personal prostitute. We kid you not. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by InfoCatolica.]
Traditional Catholics, when even some Newchurchers protested about this sacrilege, the presbyter-pastor admitted to given his permission to commit the sacrilege. Moreover, he admitted with pride the fact that he was personally present throughout the filming. When challenged about what was going through his mind, the presbyter said: "The truth is that it did not seem so serious to me." You see, the Newchurch of the New Order has become so paganized since the Vatican II Anti-council created it in 1964 to replace the Catholic Church, that even its officials have long ago lost any sense of Catholicism. They are now pagans themselves, whose only purpose in continuing Newchurch is to keep raking as much money in as possible (much of it embezzled by Newchurch officials) and to exert as much political power as possible over secular governments (to further Francis-Bergoglio's Marxist/Modernist programme).
On September 20, 2022, the Newbishops of Belgium and Flanders went into schism from Francis-Bergoglio when they published an official ceremony for the "blessing" of sodomite "unions." Newvatican's Dicastery for the Doctrine of the [New Order] Faith on March 15, 2021, had pronounced that Newchurch "does not have the power to give liturgical blessings of homosexual unions," which in the Belgian rite now includes an exchange of vows by the "couple" committing themselves to the sodomite "union." The schismatic Newbishops, already apostates from the Catholic Faith, comprise Jozef De Kesel, of Mechelen-Brussels; Johan Bonny, of Antwerp; Lodewijk Aerts, of Bruges; Jean-Pierre Delville, of Liege; Guy Harpigny, of Tournai; Patrick Hoogmartens, of Hasselt; Remy Vancottem, of Namur; and Lucas Van Looy, of Ghent.
Some of the Apostate Newpope Francis-Bergoglio's own public statements indicate that he himself is tottering on sodomy, one of the Four Biblical Sins that Cry out to God for Retribution. He famously replied to a question on sodomy: "Who am I to judge?," apparently rejecting Sacred Scripture's outright condemnation of the perversion against Natural Law and bringing into question whether even Bergoglio himself believes that he holds the papal office. In fact, Belgian Newcardinal Jozef De Kesel used Bergoglio's 2016 document "Amoris laetitia" (The Joy of Sex) to justify the schismatic action. This was the document that also approved bigamists' receiving the fake (invalid) Novus Ordo cookie and Kool-Aid. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the National Catholic Register.]
Traditional Catholics, several German Newbishops have already indicated their desire to go down the same path into formal schism from Francis-Bergoglio. What we are seeing is a repeat of the heresies and schisms that took over the Vatican II Anti-council of 1962-1965, which founded the Newchurch of the New Order. These heresies and schisms originated primarily in the Protestant/Modernist areas of Northern Europe and were given voice by the likes of Vatican-censured excommunicate and heretics Hans Kung, Karl Rahner, and Josef Ratzinger, who later styled himself Benedict XVI. Newchurch is disintegrating, as it should, because it is most certainly not the Catholic Church, but now more than Protestant, reeling into outright Paganism in the worship of false gods and goddesses, like Pachamana, Atacama, and Ganesha.
The Apostate Newpope Francis-Bergoglio carried his Marxist/Modernist programme for his Newchurch of the New Order another giant step forward when he confirmed the sellout of his Newchurch of the New Order to the Infidel Mohammedans and Pagans. On September 13-15, 2022, he attended in Nur-sultan, Kazakhstan, as a representative of the Newchurch of the New Order, the Seventh Congress of Leaders of World Religions, a syncretist organization that even many Eastern Orthodox and Protestants refused to attend, among them the leader of the largest Orthodox sect, Kirill, Patriarch of All Russia, who refuses to meet with Bergoglio and considers him a heretic and a pretender pope. There were 108 of these "religious leaders" in attendance, of whom Bergoglio constituted less than one per cent, drowned in the sea of infidels and pagans.
Bergoglio, who in 2019 gave Mohammedan leader Sheikh Ahmad al-Tayeb a very public "oecumenical" smooch on the lips, now at Kazakhstan signed, together with other schismatics, heretics, apostates, infidels, and pagans, a "Human Fraternity" document that recognized what has come to be known as Chrislam, a synthesis of Christianity and infidel Islamism. Bergoglio signed on to the heresy in the original document, which stated that "differences in religion ... are expressions of the wisdom of God’s will in creation.”
Syncretism, which was rebranded by the heretic Vatican II Anti-council (1962-1965) as "oecumenism," is the heresy that "we all worship the same gods" and "all religions are equal." Syncretism's goal is a One World Religion that is not the only true religion, the Traditional Catholic religion. In this document there is not one mention of Jesus Christ. Nor in his Congress speech did Bergoglio mention Jesus Christ once. Yet some clueless Newchurchers seem to think that he is a pope?
Bergoglio is as crafty as the Devil. It doesn't matter whether he abdicates tomorrow. He has set the operational and financial machinery in motion to perpetuate the new One World Religion. And the next Newpope will not be a Traditional Catholic. Bergoglio and his Newpope predecessors, Benedict-Ratzinger, JPII-Wojtyla, and Paul VI-Montini, have since the Vatican II Anti-council been appointing heretic Newcardinals who will elect yet another apostate Newpope after their own anti-Catholic stripe. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by LS News.]
Traditional Catholics, what is Francis-Bergoglio's and Newchurch's great fear? That Traditional Catholics will throw a wrench into their efforts to destroy Christianity, replacing it with a paganized culture that already worships Bergoglio's favorite pagan gods and goddesses: the fertility goddess Pachamama, the drugged god Atacama, and the elephant god Ganesha. That is why Bergoglio is so hateful and vindictive against Traditional Catholics, calling them "shit-eaters" (coprophages) and every more than fifty other filthy names, while he kisses infidel Mohammedan sheiks on the lips. And among "Traditional Catholics" we do not include the Pseudo-traditionalists, who have sold out to the Newchurch and its Apostate Newpope for a few words of the perverted New Latin Mess of 1962, which is most certainly not the Traditional Latin Mass.
As a direct result of Francis-Bergoglio's sellout to the Communist Chinese Party and Dictator Xi Jinping, Hong Kong’s courageous Newcardinal Joseph Zen, who has been outspoken against the Chinese Communist Party's takeover of Hong Kong, is set to go on trial September 19-23, 2022. He and five other officials are to be tried on a trumped-up charge of failing to register the Newchurch charity of which they were trustees.
According to the "secret" agreement that Bergoglio entered into in 2018, renewed in 2020, and set to renew again in 2022, the CCP and Xi Jinping now have the de facto power to appoint all Newbishops for Red China, in return for which Bergoglio gets a multi-million-dollar payoff to shore up his failing Newvatican. Another of Bergoglio's Newbishops will be tried on a more serious charge of "collusion" with foreign forces. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Asia News.]
Traditional Catholics, Newcardinal Joseph Zen has been a courageous and outspoken opponent of the Communist takeover of Hong Kong and the Communist Party's efforts to beat the once-democratic Hong Kong into submission. Whereas Pius XII excommunicated Communists in 1949 as apostates from the Catholic Faith, Francis-Bergoglio, who is a Marxist/Modernist himself, has treated Communists, particularly Chinese Communists, with kid gloves. And why shouldn't he? He gets a juicy payoff from Xi Jinping to support the Newvatican, which its Chief Auditor has announced is sinking into bankruptcy under Bergoglio.
Dear TRADITIO Fathers:
Some Protestants have been dunning me, claiming that Christ had natural brothers. That isn't correct, is it? What can I tell them?
THE TRADITIO FATHERS REPLY.
This is an attempt to contradict the doctrine of the perpetual virginity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which was held from the early Church and confirmed by the Council of Ephesus in 431. Even most Protestant sects hold the dogma. This error on their part arises from their ignorance about the vocabulary used in the New Testament. St. Jerome, who was fluent in all three Biblical languages, refuted this error over 1600 years ago.
The Greek word used in St. Mark 6:3/DRV, stating that Christ is "the brother of James and Joseph and Jude and Simon," is adelphos. It is known from St. Matthew's Gospel (27:56) that the four "brothers" mentioned in the quoted passage from St. Mark were not natural brothers of Christ, but rather cousins. James and Joseph are called sons of Alphaeus in Luke 6:16. Moreover, James, Joseph, Simon and Jude are never called "the son of Mary," as Christ is (Matthew 13:55/DRV). That is just one proof that adelphos cannot be taken invariably as meaning a natural brother -- and certainly not in this context. There is no question that in Greek, both classical Greek and Koine (Biblical) Greek, adelphos can mean either a natural brother, or a relative who is not a natural brother, or even a spiritual brother (as Christians among themselves).
In Hebrew, cousins of the first and second order were called ab (brother) and aboth (sister), so that Christ was said to have many brothers and sisters, although, in the strict sense, he had no natural brothers.
In line with his Modernist campaign to trample on traditional morality and God's Natural Law, Francis-Bergoglio has ramped up his recognition of perversion by meeting with delegations of transsexuals in the Paul VI Audience Hall in Newvatican on four separate occasions in April, June, and August 2022. It seems that Bergoglio has turned over
On one of these occasions, the transsexual delegation gave Bergoglio a most suitable gift: a portrait of himself made out of garbage. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by L'Osservatore Romano.]
Traditional Catholics, Francis-Bergoglio is a proven apostate from Catholic doctrine, but he also rejects the Natural Law of the God Whom he pretends to represent. Bergoglio, who claims to be a pope, nevertheless pontificates that he has no authority to judge the evil of sodomy. He says that atheists are his best friends. In his 2016 Encyclical Letter "Amoris laetitia" (The Joy of Sex), he admitted bigamists to the Novus Ordo Cookie and Kool-Aid. On another occasion he told Filipinos that they are "having too many children." No wonder the Newchurch of the New Order long ago lost the Sacraments of the Catholic Church, which Newchurch is most certainly not.
Francis-Bergoglio came to an embarrassing end as one of his own Newbishops denounced him as a syncretist heretic in connection with his attendance at the Seventh Congress of Leaders of World Religions, held September 13-15, 2022, in Nur-sultan, Kazakhstan. Meanwhile, the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia stood Bergoglio up. Bergoglio was itching to meet with Kirill in an oecumenical schmooze, but Kirill refused to meet with him and sent a subordinate. Russian President Vladimir Putin refused to meet with Bergoglio in Kazakhstan. Communist Chinese Dictator Xi Jinping refused to meet with Bergoglio in Kazakhstan. The apostate Bergoglio is being shut out.
Kazakhstan Newbishop Athanasius Schneider condemned Bergoglio as a syncretist heretic for attending the "oecumenical" meeting and pushing the Vatican II Anti-council's .Heresy of Oecumenism (we all worship the same gods; all religions are true). The obfuscatory term "oecumenism" used by the Anti-council is meant to replace the traditional term, syncretism, a Grave Sin against the First Commandment of God, which refers to mixing religions, the true Catholic Faith with heretical, infidel, and pagan religions. Syncretism was condemned by many popes, among them Pius IX and St. Pius X. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Reuters.]
Traditional Catholics, Newbishop Schneider condemned Bergoglio for participating in "mega faith meetings," which purport to be a "supermarket of religions" and demeaned the status of the Catholic religion as the one true Faith. (We are speaking here of the traditional Catholic religion, not the fase Newchurch of the New Order, founded by the Anti-council in 1964, which is most certainly not Catholic, but a mixture of heretical Protestantism, occult Freemasonry, and outright paganism.) Schneider also condemned Bergoglio for trying to suppress active means to convert non-Catholics to the true Faith, as by his suppression of missionary activities.
In the most recent incident of this nature reported in these Daily Commentaries, a Newchurch presbyter Corazzina (Newchurch has not ordained priests since 1968), we have proof again that Newchurch is most certainly not the Catholic Church and certainly does not believe in the teachings of the Catholic Church. By their acts you shall know them. On September 11, 2022, and probably on numerous other occasions, Newchurch presbyter-minister Fabio Corazzini (Newchurch has not ordained Catholic priests since adopting the Protestantized New Ordinal of 1968) simulated a New Order Mess of 1969 half-naked on a rickety picnic table with his bicycle leaning up against the "altar." But cover his semi-nakedness, he at least have on an LGBTXXX "stole."
During the Mess the fake Novus Ordo cookies were blown away by the wind. Presbyter Corazzini then proceeded to dust off some of the nearby cookies from the ground and recycle them. All this was done in Brescia, Italy, in the backyard of Francis-Bergoglio, who has done nothing to stop these travesties (of course, the New Order Mess itself is a travesty). With the apparent approval of the Apostate Newpope, Corazzini has been pushing "gay marriage" and has told the press: "I want to marry [sic] homosexuals." [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the LS Network.]
Traditional Catholics, Newchurchers -- and that includes the Pseudo-traditionalist Newchurchers with their corrupted New Latin Mess of 1962 -- heedlessly munch on invalid (fake) cookies from New Order presbyters. (All Newchurch presbyters since 1968 are merely posing as "priests," though they were never ordained by Sacramentally-consecrated Catholic bishops, but merely by New Order Protestant-style Newbishops, who have no Sacramental power to ordain anyone.).
When will the Newchurchers, including the Pseudo-traditionalist Newchurchers, finally wake up to the fact that they have already become Protestant heretics and worshippers of an Apostate Newpope? What does it tell the clueless Newchurchers when there is no belief in the Newchurch "Mess" and "Sacraments" even in the Apostate Newpope's own backyard? The proper Catholic action is to leave the Newchurch of the New Order altogether and find a church, chapel, or oratory (see the Official Traditional Catholic Directory referenced above) where the fully Traditional Catholic Latin Mass and Sacraments have been courageously preserved out of the fake Newchurch, which is now more heretical, idolatrous, blasphemous, and perverted than Martin Luther's!
Emil Stehle, aka Emilio Lorenzo Stehle, German born, appointed by the First Paedophile Newpope, JPII-Wojtyla, to be a Newbishop of Quito and of Santo Domingo in Ecuador, has been exposed as not only a paedophile himself, but the "conductor" of an underground railroad that helped Newchurch presbyters wanted by authorities for paedophile crimes to escape justice in Latin America and remain under cover there, just like the Nazis who were helped to escape to Latin America after World War II. Stehle himself was a paedophile criminal, fingered by sixteen children from several countries as their sexual predator.
The German [New]bishops' Conference admitted in an August 8, 2022, report that their presbyter, later a Newbishop, had been sodomizing children and running an underground railroad to help his perverted Newchurch clergy-friends to escape German justice by finding safety in Stehle's bosom in Quito. The German [New]bishops' Conference was exposed as patsies in the scheme, as Stehle was funding the criminal presbyters' escapes using money embezzled from the Conference itself. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the National Catholic Register.]
Again, the thorough corruption of the Newchurch of the New Order -- which is most certainly not the Catholic Church -- has been exposed. The Newpopes are just as corrupt, having made no real effort to do anything about these crimes except make self-serving press statements. Moreover, the complete incompetence of Newchurch in financial matters in failing to audit the expenditure of donations by its Newchurchers, has resulted in endemic embezzlement of charitable funds in Newchurch. Even Francis-Bergoglio himself has been named in a trial now ongoing in Newvatican as the mastermind behind the 500,000,000 USD embezzlement scam, in which Newchurchers' donations going (they thought) to the most needy were actually going to fund the corrupt activities of Newvatican officials, including Bergoglio himself.
Newchurch already worships, thanks to the Apostate Newpope Francis-Bergoglio, the nude fertility goddess Pachamama, the drug-pushing sky god Atacama, and the Hindu elephant god Ganesha. St. James Newchurch in Antwerp, Belgium, was in the news on September 7, 2022 for removing its pews and substituting yoga mats to convert Newchurchers to the paganism of yoga, with the full approval of the Newchurch's pastor and its Newdiocesan bishop. And Antwerp is far from the only Newchurch doing so. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the various news sources.]
Yoga is far from some innocuous exercise routine. Yoga is incompatible with Christianity. It is an act of worship, a fundamental part of the pagan religion of Hinduism, and thus has no place in the lives of Christians. It is a full-blown indoctrination into pagan Hinduism, the same kind of indoctrination practiced by "Mother" Teresa of Calcutta, who was a notorious syncretist, melding the paganism of Hinduism with the perversion of the Newchurch of the New Order.
Yoga is a pagan Hindu spiritual discipline which attempts to unite the practitioner with the divine within himself and unite the practitioner with all of creation through breathing, physical exercises, concentration, etc. The word yoga derives from Sanskrit, the language of Hinduism, and means to "join" or "unite." The idea that the divine is to be sought for and found within oneself smacks of occultism and pantheism. It has been condemned by the dogmatic Vatican I Council and the teaching of the true Catholic Church. It is a Grave Sin against the First Commandment of God.
Pantheism teaches that the material Earth is itself divine, not the work of the divine God. It leads to the Modernist notion that the Earth is a goddess, Gaia, and has a soul. As a consequence, trees and whales have more "rights" that human babies. Pantheism has had a rebirth under Bergoglio, who approves the worship of fertility goddesses (Pachamama), sky gods (Atacama), and elephant gods (Ganesha).
Traditional Catholics, the practice of yoga is pagan at best and occult at worst. Some pagan yoga instructors even try to deceive Catholics and Christians by wearing crosses. Yoga reeks of the Heresy of Syncretism ("we all worship the same gods"; "all religions are true"), which the Vatican II Anti-council rebranded and promoted as as "Oecumenism," the mixture of false religions with true Catholicism. Don't be fooled into paganism, whether by Hindus or Newchurch "rats on mats."
Dear TRADITIO Fathers:
I have already seen announcements that Newchurch Pseudo-traditionalist presbyters, such as those in the Newchurch Fraternity of St. Peter (FSSP) are purporting to offer the New Latin Mess of 1962 for the recently-deceased Queen Elizabeth II. My understanding is that such presbyters are not even valid Catholic priests, but merely Novus Ordo presbyters, installed by Newchurch "bishops" who have never been consecrated as Catholic bishops. Yet Newchurchers and the press are ignorantly describing such presbyters as "Traditional Catholics" and their invalid (fake) Messes as "Traditional Latin Masses." Is my understanding of the Catholic teaching correct?
THE TRADITIO FATHERS REPLY.
You are correct in saying that such Pseudo-traditionalists presbyters professing their loyalty to the heretic Newchurch of the New Order and its Apostate Newpopes, are not Catholics, but heretics, and certainly not priests. Nor is their New Latin Mess of 1962 the Traditional Latin Mass, but the corrupted version introduced from 1951 to 1962 by the Freemason presbyter Hannibal Bugnini and his "Reformation Committee."
The distinguished moral and dogmatic theologian Francis Connell (1888-1967), C.Ss.R., summarizes the Church's teaching with respect to Masses for non-Catholics as follows. It should be noted that although Fr. Connell attended the Vatican II Anti-council as a peritus, he rejected the Anti-council's attempts to change the teaching of the Church and declared instead: "I cannot see how theology has changed. I do not see how it could be changed radically, since it takes its principles from Revelation as taught by the Church."
Baptized non-Catholics [such as Queen Elizabeth II, who is an Anglican Protestant and claims to be "Head of the Church in England"] are treated in law [Canon 2262.2.2] as excommunicated persons. However, since they are not in the category of excommunicati vitandi [the most serious category of excommunicates], there is no reason why the Holy Sacrifice may not be offered privately [for them. A private Mass in this sense is to be] without external pomp or public announcement.
Such grave sacrileges, blasphemies, and idolatries perpetrated by the Newchurch Pseudo-traditionalists clearly expose their perversion from the Catholic Faith. They have adopted New Order notions instead of Traditional Catholic doctrine and who are being carried off by their confused emotions rather than adhering to the Catholic Faith, from which they have become heretics.
Francis-Bergoglio, as everyone now knows, speaks with a forked tongue. On September 4, 2022, he again declared his "zero tolerance" police against his paedophile Newcardinals, Newbishops, and presbyters. Yet four days earlier, he had "rehabilitated" the No. 2 Newcardinal Paedophile in the United States, the despicable Roger Mahoney, of Los Angeles, California. Mahoney was No. 2 behind the notorious No. 1, Newcardinal Theodore McCarrick, of Washington, D.C. On August 31, 2022, Bergoglio had stood by while Mahoney "con-celebrated" the First "New Mess" of new Newcardinal Robert McElroy, of San Diego.
A tranche of internal memoranda released revealed that Mahoney had demonstrated "wanton disregard for the health and safety of children." Over 500 child victims had come forth, the sodomy, rape, and other sexual assaults against whom Mahoney had tried to cover up. Courts awarded the child victims over 600,000,000 USD in damages. In 2013, Mahoney was essentially suspended by his successor Newarchbishop Jose Gomez, but Mahoney was so self-centered that he ignored the suspension. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the American Spectator.]
Traditional Catholics, if Newchurch did nothing but give Newcardinal Roger Mahoney a slap on the hand, one father of a child victim was so outraged at the paedophile cover-up artist that he mugged him at the post box. All three Newpopes pandered to Mahoney: the "Unsaint" JPII-Wojtyla, the Hitler Youth Benedict-Ratzinger, and the Marxist Francis-Bergoglio. Truly, Newchurch -- which is most certainly not the Catholic Church -- is perverted to the core from bottom to top, as the "Big Fish" stinks from the head.
St. Louis, Missouri, once a cardinalatial see, has fallen on hard times, now that Newchurch has taken it over. In 1966, just at the end of the Vatican II Anti-council, St. Louis boasted 1,105 diocesan and religious priests in the archdiocese. Since Newchurch took it over in 1964, that number has sunk by 80 per cent to 220 in 2022. The current 178 Newparishes in St. Louis are to be cut back by 44 per cent, with 100 being permanently shuttered.
At one time the Newarchdiocese was led by Ray "Bully" Burke, who to this day plays at being "traditionalist" so that he still has some notoriety, but he has om fact been quite the opposite. He "consecrated" a man as a Newchurch "nun" in what came to be known as the "Immaculate Deception." He also persecuted a traditional-leaning presbyter of his to such an extent that the entire religious community of St. Louis rejected him, and Benedict-Ratzinger finally had to fire him and spirit him behind the Newvatican's walls, in order to keep him under close watch. For many years now he has been entirely without portfolio. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the St. Louis Post Dispatch.]
Traditional Catholics, the Newarchdiocese of St. Louis has rejected an idea to import missionary presbyters from Africa to help with the presbyter shortage. The very idea was a complete turnabout from the experience of the twentieth century in the United States, when missionary priests were exported from the United States to Africa. The apostate Newchurch of the New Order, which is most certainly not the Catholic Church, is justifiably crumbling before our eyes and is expected to be essentially defunct in a couple of decades.
On September 2, 2022, just three days after Francis-Bergoglio appointed him one of his 21 newest Newcardinals, Indian Goa's Felipe Neri Ferrao approved the public veneration by his presbyters of the hermaphrodite pagan Hindu elephant god Ganesha. This policy is in accordance with Francis-Bergoglio's own paganism in his 2019 "blessing" of the idol of the nude fertility goddess Pachamama in St. Peter's Basilica and his recent wearing of the idol of the drug-crazed pagan god Atacama. Bergoglio is moving the Newchurch of the New Order from Protestantism, to Freemasony, and now to outright paganism.
Goan presbyters are taking their Newparishioners to shrines and homes to worship the idol of Ganesha. The Newchurchers are even singing hymns to the pagan god. Newchurch "nuns" are also involved in worshipping Ganesha. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by a Catholic news service.]
Traditional Catholics, in heretic Newchurch doctrine, promulgated by the Vatican II Anti-council, Jesus Christ is not the only true God, together with the Father and the Holy Ghost, but only one of many gods that are worshipped around the world. This is in accordance with the Anti-council's Heresy of Oecumenism (we all worship the same gods; all religions are true). Newchurch's practice of promoting the worship of pagan gods is not only a Most Mortal Sin against the First Commandment of God, but is outright heresy, which excommunicates its practitioners from the true Church.
Recent reports indicate clearly that paedophile Newclergy are continuing to take over the Newchurch of the New Order, particularly under the regime of the Apostate Newpope Francis-Bergoglio.
First, Bergoglio spurned the Newarchbishop of Los Angeles, California, Jose Gomez, the conservative President of the U.S. Conference of Catholic [Sic] {New]bishops, to select instead the sodomite-friendly Newbishop of San Diego, California, Robert McElroy, whom Bergoglio duly installed as a Newcardinal on August 27, 2022. Los Angeles usually merits the Newcardinal's biretta, but Gomez is too conservative to meet Bergoglio's Modernist/Marxist bias. Thus, Bergoglio bypassed him to pick McElroy, of the much smaller Newdiocese.
Bergoglio prefers sodomite-friendly Newclergy. McElroy is not only pro-Sodomite, but wants to go easy on politicians, like U.S. President J.R. Biden and U.S. House Speaker N.E. Pelosi, who proclaim themselves "devout" Newchurchers, but support abortion up to the point of birth, or even a bit thereafter. McElroy has simulated LGBTQXXX Messes, wants Newchurch to accept open sodomy, and allows Novus Ordo funerals for active sodomites.
Moreover, McElroy is a pagan climate fanatic, like Bergoglio, who virtually makes a goddess of the Earth (known as Gaia) and even wrote a Latin paean to Her. McElroy is well known for giving a pass to paedophile presbyters in his Newdiocese. He has been personally denounced for not having turned in the notorious Newcardinal Theodore McCarrick, whom he knew to be a raging sodomite, raping children and young Newseminarians up and down the East Coast of the United States. McElroy is a henchman of Bergoglio and publicly proclaims that Newchurch must be destroyed by Bergoglio's "synodal process" (whatever that means) to become a supra-secular, not a religious, organization.
Meanwhile, the Newdiocese of Buffalo, New York, on September 6, 2022, reinstated seventeen presbyters charged with sex crimes against children. The children and their parents are furious and have denounced Newbishop Michael Fisher for conducting a merely self-serving "internal" investigation whose purpose was to cover up the crimes, not a third-party, objective investigation to discover the truth. The children and their parents are afraid that the seventeen will soon return to their paedophile crimes. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the Buffalo News.]
Traditional Catholics, so does Newchurch's Great Sex & Embezzlement Holocaust continue unabated, even though Francis-Bergoglio on September 4, 2022, hypocritically declared once again that he has " zero tolerance" for paedophile crimes by his Newcardinals, Newbishops, and presbyters, who nevertheless he lets off scot free. Moreover, he says that he takes "personal responsibility for ending it." In that case, he has utterly failed in his officially and should be declared the fraudulent Newpope that he in fact is. If that were done, there is no telling how many children's lives would be saved.
Francis-Bergoglio's apostasy from the Catholic Church is now hitting him squarely in the face: he can't get any Swiss Guards recruits to guard him. He posted job openings for twenty more guards, but no one responded. Bergoglio has instead hired a "media relations" operative to try to clean up his dirtied public image. At this point that will be an impossible job, as Bergoglio has been proven to be a facilitator of paedophile crimes amongst his Newclergy, never punishing the guilty parties. He has also been fingered by several sworn witnesses in the ongoing Newvatican trail to be the mastermind of the half-billion-dollar embezzlement of funds donated by Newchurchers to his scam charity, Peter's Pence. He has also been exposed as taking millions of dollars in bribes from Xi Jinping to allow the Chinese Communist Dictator to appoint all the Newbishops for his murderous regime.
The current number of Swiss Guards is becoming depleted, so Bergoglio attempted to raise the number from 110 to 130. But when the twenty new jobs were posted, there were no takers! The total rejection of Bergoglio is entirely novel in the 616-year history of the Swiss Guards, established by the military pope, Julius II, known to many from his depiction in Irving Stone's 1961 historical novel, The Agony and the Ecstasy, later made into a 1965 film of the same name, starring Rex Harrison as the pope.
Recruits must be male, Swiss citizens, practicing Newchurchers (Traditional Catholics are not welcome), single, between the ages of 19-30, at least 172 centimetres tall, athletic, and in good health. They must commit for at least 26 months and have an "unblemished reputation." Another turnoff to recruits: in 2014 Bergoglio became embroiled in scandal when it was revealed that the Guards were "regularly propositioned for sodomy by a 'gay lobby' of [Newchurch] bishops, cardinals and pr[esbyters], and Bergoglio, as usual, did nothing about it." In 2026, the Guard is supposed to go "coed" with new shared living quarters even now being built by Bergoglio. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the Crux News Service.]
Traditional Catholics, Francis-Bergoglio has corrupted yet another traditional organization with a proud history. It remains to be seen whether all of Bergoglio's propaganda efforts will be successful in filling the vacancies. Ironically, the Swiss Guard is having trouble filling its vacancies, just as the papal office has suffered its own vacancy over the past sixty years.
"Il Papa Dittatore," as eminent British historian Henry Sire called Francis-Bergoglio in his 2018 book of the same name, is spinning faster than a whirling dirvish these days, lashing out at his own Pseudo-traditionalists and their "New Latin Mess of 1962"; spurning the conservative Archbishops of Los Angeles and Milan by appointing as Newcardinals lower ranked Modernist/Leftist Newbishops; spreading the worship of the pagan fertility goddess Pachamama and pagan drug-crazed god Atacama; wearing pagan symbols on his Novus Ordo albo-chasuble; building the notorious "dung ball" mosque for the Islamicists; and so much more.
Now Bergoglio is playing God again by illegally taking over the historic and sovereign Order of the Knights of Malta, considered a sovereign (independent) entity since the Middle Ages. On September 3, 2022, Bergoglio attacked the Order by purportedly dissolving its leadership and imposing a new anti-Catholic constitution. The constitution has already been denounced as designed to vitiate the historic sovereignty of the Order, recognized by the United Nations and the European Union.
The Order still does its charitable work, having a multi-million dollar budget, 13,500 members, 95,000 volunteers, and 52,000 medical staff running refugee camps, drug-treatment centers, disaster-relief programs, and hospitals in over 110 countries worldwide. Most recently it has been very active in helping refugees and war victims of the Ukranian War. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Reuters.]
The Dictator "Pope" Bergoglio had better watch it. His Newvatican City State, a fabrication of the Italian Fascist Dictator Benito Mussolini in 1929, is an entity on the same international footing as the Order of the Knights of Malta. Bergoglio's little empire could be just as liable to take over as he himself illegally took over the Knights. In fact, it already happened once in the 19th and 20th centuries.
Today, the Knights of Malta are an embarrassing shadow of what used to be a most courageous organization, which fought uncompromisingly in the Middle Ages for Catholicism in the Holy Land and to this day tends to the wounded. In our day the feckless Knights are selling out their historic predecessors, who made their organization great, to a dictatorial apostate from the Catholic Faith, Francis-Bergoglio.
The Mohammedans had already fought the Christians in the Holy Crusades and taken over parts of Catholic Spain in the thirteenth century. But Suleiman the Magnificent, Sultan of the Ottoman Empire's 25,000,000 people, was determined to conquer all of Europe. His plan eventually failed and Pope St. Pius V and his Catholic forces were eventually to rout the Mohammedans once and for all in the miraculous Battle of Lepanto in 1571. Yet in 1565 only one thing stood in Suleiman's way: the islands of Malta 80 kilometres south of Sicily in the Mediterranean Sea, occupied by the Knights of St. John, also known as the Knights of Malta. These were the cream of the warriors of the Holy Roman Empire. Suleiman sent an armada and an overwhelming army to conquer the islands, but a few thousand courageous Catholic Knights fought to the death to repel the Mohammedan invaders.
Traditional Catholics, If the Knights today had any courage, they, as a sovereign entity, would declare the See of Peter vacant, brand Bergoglio the pretender that he is, and then have nothing further to do with him. Finally, the Knights should go to the United Nations and the World Court of Justice to have Bergoglio declared an international criminal for illegally attacking an independent, sovereign state. Instead, the cowardly modern-day Knights will grouse a little, but in the end let the Bergoglian Bully take possession of their once noble organization.
It should come as no surprise that Francis-Bergoglio's latest pick for Novus Ordo "beatification" was doggedly hostile to the Half New Order New Latin Mess of 1962. This was Bergoglio's predecessor, JPI-Luciani, the Newpope who survived for only 33 days in 1978. He is going to be given the "beatification" business by Bergoglio on September 4, 2022, in the invalid corrupted Novus Ordo rite.
Luciani was recently exposed in the Italian press as a dogged opponent of the Half New Order New Latin Mess of 1962, formerly called "Extraordinary," which an older priest was still saying in Luciani's Newarchdiocese of Venice. When Luciani found out that the devout priest was celebrating the New Latin Mess in his Newparish church, he expelled him from his church and shuttered the church closed. He was banished to an island where the Newbenedictines took pity on him and allowed him to use their Chapel of the Dead (obviously trying to make a sarcastic point). Luciani found out and expelled the priest from the island. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by EN News.]
Traditional Catholics, the dogged "Unblessed-to-Be" JPI-Luciani even refused the old priest's dying wish, to be buried with a Traditional Latin Requiem Mass, or at least a simple traditional blessing. So much for charity in the Newchurch of the New Order with its Unblesseds and Unsaints.
After Pius XII, the Leftists/Modernists started a campaign against the death penalty. The heretic "Unsaint" JPII-Wojtyla even tried to change the New Catechism of 1992 to condemn it in some preliminary versions issued in vulgar tongues. However, the backlash was so strong even from Newchurchers that Wojtyla recanted and left the official Latin version of the New Catechism alone. Now, on September 2, 2022, the Apostate Newpope Francis-Bergoglio is trying to reignite the campaign in the Newchurch of the New Order. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Catholic World News.]
But what is the teaching of the Catholic Church about the matter? Our Lord Himself confirms this power of capital punishment in the interview with Pilate before His crucifixion:
Pilate therefore saith to him: Speakest thou not to me? Knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and I have power to release thee? Jesus answered: Thou shouldst not have any power against me, UNLESS IT WERE GIVEN THEE FROM ABOVE (John 19:10-11/DRV).
Our Lord also seems to speak of the appropriateness of capital punishment in another passage, which applies to crimes against children: "But he that shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone be hanged about his neck and that he should be drowned in the depth of the sea" (Matthew 18:6/DRV).
From the earliest centuries, the Church has held that society has the authority to inflict punishments upon its members, and even to deprive a criminal of his life, for the necessity of the common good:
St. Thomas Aquinas, the Catholic Church's Universal Theologian, equated a dangerous criminal to an infected limb, thereby making it "praiseworthy and healthful" to kill the criminal in order to spare the spread of infection and safeguard the common good. The dogmatic Council of Trent decreed: "[Well founded is] the right and duty of legitimate public authority to punish malefactors by means of penalties commensurate with the gravity of the crime, not excluding, in cases of extreme gravity, the death penalty."
Given these purposes, an execution may take place if the following conditions are met:
Catholics may differ in their prudential judgments as to whether a particular society needs to employ capital punishment for its own protection. To say that it is wrong per se or never justified, what Bergoglio is attempting, is contrary to the traditional teaching of the Catholic Church. The state may always choose to commute the deserved penalty.
Traditional Catholics, it should be noted that heinous criminals are not innocent persons (like unborn children), but are objectively guilty in natural law of grave crimes against the common weal. As Pope Pius XII explained it: "Even in the question of the execution of a man condemned to death, the state does not dispose of the individual's right to life. It then falls to the public authority to deprive the condemned man of the good of life in expiation of his fault after he, by his crime, has already deprived himself of his right to life."
In the very area from which came the impetus for the heretic Modernist Vatican II Anti-council (1962-1965), Newchurches are now being shut down because of energy costs and lack of presbyters. Northern Europe has sold its soul to Russia's pipeline and to windmills, so now it is paying the price. Moreover, when Newchurch did away with the Catholic priesthood in 1968 and replaced ordained Catholic priests with unordained Protestantized presbyter-ministers, the end could not be far away. Now it is here.
On September 1, 2022, the word went out from Henrikus Smeets, Newbishop of Roermond in the Netherlands, skip periodic Messes; we can't pay for them. He revealed that the average donation to the Newchurch collection plate these days is one U.S. dollar. That is not enough to keep the heater on, when gas now costs twice as much as last year. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Reuters.]
Traditional Catholics, in most of Europe, and the world, for that matter, Newchurch attendance is in rapid decline. The decline in the number of presbyters is even steeper. The remaining presbyters are leaving, retiring, and dying off, and no young men want to replace them to become northing more than invalid Protestant ministers. Northern Europe in just half a century is reaping the just punishment for its having destroyed the institutional Catholic Church and replacing it with the fake Protestant-Masonic-Pagan Newchurch of the New Order.
While the Apostate Newpope Francis-Bergoglio tries to turn the spotlight against his pseudo-traditionalists, who are "attached" to the Half New Order Vatican II New Latin Mess of 1962, which isn't even the Traditional Latin Mass, and calls them every filthy name in the book, elsewhere he is surreptitiously introducing deaconesses and priestesses to begin the formal paganization of the Newchurch of the New Order.
This is the "camel's nose under the tent" approach that was so successful for Newchurch in introducing the fake (invalid) Protestant-Pagan-Masonic "New Mess" of 1969, which Bergoglio's heretic Modernist predecessor, Benedict-Ratzinger, officially declared to be the "Ordinary" Mess of the Newchurch of the New Order. In fact, the fake New Mess was being used by certain Modernists around the world before the implementation date of 1969, certainly by the 1950s under Pius XII. There is ample documentation of the fact in photographs and reporting. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the U.K. Tablet.]
Traditional Catholics, this is exactly where the "New Mess" began before the Vatican II Anti-council: in Northern Europe, as well documented in Ralph Wilgen's respected 1991 tome, The Rhine Flows into the Tiber: A History of Vatican II. Northern Europe boasted the most committed Modernist heretics, who took control of the Vatican II Anti-council to turn it Protestant, Masonic, and finally pagan: Josef Ratzinger (who later styled himself "Benedict XVI"), Hans Kung, Karl Rahner, Joseph Jungmann, Edward Schillebeeckx, Hans Urs von Balthasar, and several others. Now the destruction of Newchurch is in the hands of the Western Hemisphere, under the thumb of the Argentinean Jorge "Francis" Bergoglio.
Francis-Bergoglio's attack dog on the "liturgy," Newarchbishop Arthur Roche, Newprefect of the Dicastery of Divine Worship, whom Bergoglio just made a Newcardinal to give his words more influence in Newchurch, has carried the Apostate Newpope's anti-traditionalist agenda another giant step forward. Now, speaking for Bergoglio, he is outright calling those Newchurchers who "adhere" to the Half New Order Vatican II New Latin Mess of 1962 "more Protestant than Catholic." In fact, it is the New Latin Mess itself that is more Protestant than Catholic. It was another giant step on the path that culminated seven years later in the full-blown invalid (fake) Protestant-Pagan-Masonic New Mess of 1969, which Bergoglio's heretic Modernist predecessor, Benedict-Ratzinger, officially declared to be the "Ordinary" Mess of the Newchurch of the New Order.
Roche has already decreed, as previously reported in these Daily Commentaries, that the required approval from his dicastery for presbyters who want to use the New Latin Mess and even have the approval of their Newbishops, will be denied in all cases. New associations of pseudo-traditionalist Newchurchers will also be denied in all cases. Roche indicated that his action was taken in accordance with Bergoglio's orders.
Roche, like Bergoglio, lashed out at Newchurch's Pseudo-traditionalists, charging them with "dragging their feet” in implementing 100 per cent the "Ordinary" New Mess of 1969. He also charged them with "becoming more Protestant than Catholic."
Roche, who clearly is ignorant of Catholic theology -- and why shouldn't he be; he isn't Catholic -- heretically described the Vatican II Anti-council as "the highest legislation that exists in the Church." Even Pope John XIII, when convoking the Anti-council, declared that it was at best a "pastoral council," specifically with no dogmatic authority whatsoever. In fact, it turned out to be a heretic anti-council, like the Council of Pistoia, whose acts were declared null and void.
Roche went on to compound his heresy by rejecting the New Latin Mess of 1962 because the presbyter alone is the celebrant, not the "community of the laity." This notion was notably pushed by the Arch-heretic Martin Luther and then by all Protestants. It was a principal reason why Luther and all Protestants are excommunicated from the Church. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the National Catholic Register.]
Traditional Catholics, you might ask why Arthur Roche and even Francis-Bergoglio are so maniacal about suppressing the New Latin Mess of 1962, which isn't even the Traditional Latin Mass. but a corruption of it. We think that Bergoglio and Roche are deathly afraid. They want to stamp out every vestige of Catholicism and replace it with Protestantism, Masonism, and Paganism. But they are encountering much more resistance meeting their goals than they expected. That is why, we believe, in spite of the fact that, as they claim, fewer than one per cent of their Newchurchers are Pseudo-traditionalists, Bergoglio and Roche spend an obsessive, irrational amount of time on the subject.
36-year-old award-winning Hollywood star Shia LaBeouf admitted on August 25, 2022, that his portraying of Padre Pio (1887-1968) in the film of the same name, to be released in September 2022, and Pio's refusal to adopt the vulgar tongues and the New Mess of 1969, is leading him to the Traditional Latin Mass and possible conversion to Traditional Catholicism from Judaism.
From 1965, even before the end of the Vatican II Anti-council (1962-1965), Pio refused to use the vernacular interim versions of the New Mess leading up to the invalid (fake) New Mess of 1969. Pio detested theAnti-council and is recorded as saying: "For pity sake, terminate the Council quickly." Contrary to the practice of the current Apostate Newpope Francis-Bergoglio, Pio completely refused to use Italian for Mass.
The very thought of one of theirs liking the Traditional Latin Mass has driven Hollywood propaganda mill crazy. LeBoeuf has been pilloried for even considering the Traditional Latin Mass, which demonic Hollywood describes as "toxic." Even Mel Gibson, producer and director of the 2004 Traditional Catholic box-office blockbuster, "The Passion of the Christ," was unable to escape the diarrhoea of invective put out by Hollywood. But, to the sane person, if demonic Hollywood hates it, it must be right!.
Because LeBoeuf didn't know how to find a fully Traditional Latin Mass not associated with the heretic Newchurch of the New Order, it was Mel Gibson himself who directed him to the Official Directory of Traditional Latin Masses. Gibson, like his father, the late author Hutton Gibson, rejects the Vatican II Anti-council's Newchurch of the New Order and its phony New Latin Mess of 1962, simulated by unordained Protestantized presbyter-ministers. (For further information, click on the Official Traditional Catholic Directory department, provided to the TRADITIO Network by the National Registry of Traditional Latin Masses. Other listings of "Latin Messes" are the product of Newchurchers associated with the heretical New Order Sect.)
LeBoeuf has a lot to expiate and desperately needs conversion to the Traditional Catholic Faith -- not, of course, the heretic Newchurch of the New Order, which is most certainly not the Catholic Church. He has been in trouble with the law many times and has being sued by his ex-fornicatrix with abuse. He even contemplated suicide, but says that he now has hope.
Traditional Catholics, Shia LeBoeuf said that he began reading the Gospel of Matthew and had a revelation. He said he discovered that Christ is not the "soft, fragile, all loving, all listening, with no ferocity" caricature portrayed by Newchurch, but a "very different, masculine" Christ. It is unclear just how "converted" LeBoeuf is at this time, since he is being influenced by heretic Newchurch presbyters, but one can always hope that he will find true Traditional Catholicism at one of the many independent sites whose Traditional Catholic priests have maintained the true faith against the heretic Newchurch of the New Order these last sixty years.
And you thought Francis-Bergoglio's blessing and encouraging the worship of the Brazilian nude fertility goddess Pachamama, documented in detail in previous Daily Commentaries, is bad. Now Bergoglio has moved on to the worship of the sky god Atacama, a pagan Andean deity, which is depicted on a chasuble that he was seen wearing in August 2022. (God help him if he wore the traditional Catholic Alpha-Omega monogram based on Sacred Scripture or the IHS monogram [Jesus in Greek])! Worship of the god Atacama involves smoking hallucinogenic drugs. What an example Bergoglio is setting in our immoral drug-crazed world!
Now some observers have pointed out the similarity of the Atacama god to depictions of purported extraterrestrials. Bergoglio's paganism is getting sicker and too obvious to deny. From worshipping the nude pagan fertility goddess Pachamama, now the Apostate Newpope is moving on to depicting a pagan sky god on his official vestments. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by a Catholic news service.]
Traditional Catholics, one has to wonder why the Newchurch of the New Order has such a fascination with extraterrestrials. Most recently, Benedict-Ratzinger talked about them incessantly, particularly Martians. We think that with so many Newchurchers abandoning Newchurch and its Newpopes because of their cooperation with paedophile presbyters, Newbishops, and Newcardinals and their involvement in the embezzlement of hundreds of millions of dollars from what is essentially the Newchurch poor box, the Newpopes have given up on humanity and are looking to more fertile grounds: the hitherto-untapped Martians, Venusians, and Jovians. It seems that these Apostate Newpopes are reading much more Edgar Rice Burroughs than they are Sacred Scripture!
