Newchurch Admits First Transsexual "Religious Hermit"
He/She Will Surely Be only the First of Many, with the Approval of the Apostate Newpope Francis-Bergoglio

From: The TRADITIO Fathers
Francis-Bergoglio & Transsexual

The Apostate Newpope Francis-Bergoglio
Publicly Receives and Blesses a Transsexual
He Meets Weekly with Transsexuals
After His Wednesday Angelus
Now Newchurch Has Approved Its First Hermit
All the Neocon Newchurchers, FSSPers, Neo-SSPXers
And the Like Who Think that They Are Catholics
And Can "Co-exist" with Newchurch
Had Better Rethink Their Hypocrisy Fast!

Francis-Bergoglio's Newchurch has admitted what will surely be only the first Newchurch hermit. Christian Matson was rejected even by other Newchurch orders, but with the full support of Newbishop John Stowe, was admitted as a Newdiocesan hermit in Lexington, Kentucky, and "came out" on Pentecost Sunday, May 19, 2024. Stowe was appointed Newbishop there by the Modernist Newpope Benedict-Ratzinger.

Before the corrupt Newchurch of the New Order took over at the Vatican II Anti-council in 1964, a hermit was one who lived a secluded, monastic life. Traditionally, hermits can be male or female (but not both!). Early examples were the hermits under St. Anthony the Great, also known as St. Anthony of the (Sahara) Desert. Matson is hardly secluded, but has "come out" in the vulgar sense, where he works at the local movie theater.

Apparently, Newchurch has changed the definition of "desert." Supposedly, any person who had undergone a "sex-change" was ineligible "to marry, be ordained to the pr(esbyterate) or enter religious life." Newbishop Stowe is noted as a sexual deviant from the traditional teachings of the Church. He is a Newchurch bishop who is known for his toleration of sodomites, lesbians, and the like. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Religious News Service.]

Traditional Catholics, Matson was a lifelong Presbyterian and only in 2010 joined Newchurch. Newbishop Stowe is noted as a sexual deviant from the traditional teachings of the Church. He is a Newchurch bishop who is known for his "toleration" of sodomites, lesbians, bisexuals, and transsexuals. All the Neocon Newchurchers, FSSPers, Neo-SSPXers, and the like who think that they are Catholics and can "co-exist" with Newchurch had better rethink their hypocrisy fast!

Latest Newchurch Brouhaha: Presbyter Bites Arm of Newchurch Woman
When She Attempted to Grab a Novus Ordo Cookie from the Bowl (!)

From: The TRADITIO Fathers
Biting Presbyter

"I Bit the Woman," Presbyter Tells Press
When He Refused the Novus Ordo "Cookie"
To a Woman at His Florida Newparish
On Pentecost Sunday
She Grabbed One from the Bowl (!)
So He Bit Her Arm
The Presbyter Is Now Facing Battery Charges
Of Course, the Newchurch Presbyter Is Not a Priest
The Newchurch "Mess" In Not a Catholic Mass
And the Novus Ordo Cookie Is Not Communion
There Is Nothing Catholic about Newchurch Whatsoever

One thing that we can all conclude in the sixty years since the Vatican II Anti-council (1962-1965) is that the Newchurch of the New Order that the Anti-council created in 1964 to replace the Catholic Church is not only apostate, but crazy! The latest brouhaha, which got quite a lot of coverage, occurred when a Newchurch woman attempted to grab a Novus Ordo cookie and was bitten in the arm by the presbyter handing out the cookies. The presbyter is facing criminal charges of battery as a result.

The incident occurred at St. Thomas Aquinas Newparish in St. Cloud, Florida, on Pentecost Sunday, May 19, 2024. The presbyter got into an argument with the woman standing to get the Novus Ordo cookie and refused at one point to give her the cookie. In the melee the woman attempted to grab another cookie from the bowl (!) that the presbyter was holding. In reaction, he grabbed her and bit her arm. The irony is that in the New Mess laypeople frequently handle the cookies anyway, so what's the big deal. They're certainly not Holy Communion.. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Florida Daily.]

Traditional Catholics, this is all a tempest in a teapot. The Newchurch of the New Order is not the Catholic Church. Newchurch stopped ordaining priests in 1968 when it adopted the Protestantized New Ordinal of 1968, so the man was not a priest, but a presbyter (like a Protestant minister). The Newchurch Mess (it is not a Mass) is invalid, so the cookies were mere (invalid) cookies. like Protestant cookies. If the woman were kneeling, as would have been the case at a true Traditional Latin Mass, the problem would never have arisen in the first place.

Newchurch Announces that It Will Abuse the First Millennial Teenager by Con-anization
It Has until Now Kept the Boy "on Ice" in a Glass Coffin, Vulgarly Dressed up in a Running Suit

From: The TRADITIO Fathers
Carlo Acutis

Newchurch Has Put on Display the Corpse
Of Carlo Acutis in a Glass Coffin
Vulgarly Dressed up in a Running Suit
With the "Abuse" of This Teenager
Newchurch Announced Its Intention
To Abuse the Boy by "Con-anization"
Making Him the First Millennial Newsaint
The Dying Newchurch Is Truly Sick

On May 23. 2024, Newchurch announced to the world its latest case of "abuse." The teenage boy who has been kept "on ice," so to speak, vulgarly dressed up in a running suit, is up for con-anization (Newchurch "canonization" is a fake "con") because of some "miracle." Carlo Acutis (1991-2006) seems to have been a nice enough, "tech-savvy" young man, but being nice and playing with computers are not qualifications for officially declaring a Saint -- if the apostate Newchurch even had that power. If Acutis were a Saint, it certainly wouldn't be because of the apostate Newchurch, but in spite of it.

Newchurch destroyed the process of real canonization in 1983 when the Second Paedophiliac Newpope, JPII-Wojtyla, completely gutted the very careful and deliberate process used since the decree of Pope Urban VIII in 1640. Traditional canonization could take centuries, so careful was the Church not to designate an unworthy person. Newchurch now rushes through its con-anizations in just a few years and has scandalously named two paeodphiliac Newpopes (Paul VI-Montini and JPII-Wojtyla) in barely a decade or two, along with Marxists like Oscar Romero, and a slew of Modernists. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Catholic News Agency.]

Traditional Catholics, Newsaints for Newchurch are determined not so much for their individual spiritual merit -- in the past proven by the difficult standard of "heroic" virtue, determined in an often centuries-long process of investigation, as for their "political correctness" for modern times. The young Acutis got caught up in this "P.C." Newchurch. In 1983 the number of miracles was reduced to practically nothing. The new norms eliminated any way that objections could be freely and fairly raised. The Advocatus Diaboli (Devil's Advocate), who had no personal stake in the outcome, presented the case against the person. So corrupted was the new process that JPII-Wojtyla toyed with the idea of qualifying even the Arch-heretic Martin Luther!

Superbowl-winning Kicker Delivers Commencement Address that Knocks It out of the Park
It Turns out that Harrison Butker is Unapologetically and Unabashedly Traditional Roman Catholic

From: The TRADITIO Fathers
Harrison Butker

Harrison Butker, Superbowl-winning
Kansas City Chief's Kicker
Delivered a Commencement Address
To Benedictine Newchurch College
That Drove the Modernist Press Berserk
In It He Defended the Vocation of Motherhood
And Catholic Manhood
He Told the Novus Ordo Graduates
That He Is a Traditional Roman Catholic
And Urged Them to Living in a Place
What the Traditional Latin Mass
Is Available to Them

Harrison Butker, the Superbowl-winning Kansas City Chief's kicker, delivered a commencement address at Benedictine College, a Newchurch institution in Atchison, Kansas, on May 11, 2024. Butker castigated the Newchurch bishops (including, presumably the Newbishop of Newrome). The Modernist press in the United States went berserk because Butker dared to praise the vocation of motherhood, Catholic manhood, then censured abortion and artificial contraception. Butker addressed with reason and true Catholicism many more topics with a breadth that is rarely seen today from a secular figure.

How did Harrison Butler have the sagacity and courage to deliver such a speech? He told his audience quite directly the answer to that question. And his answer was covered by none of the press outlets, not one. Butker is a Traditional Roman Catholic who attends exclusively the Traditional Latin Mass, and he openly admits that it has changed his daily life. Here is that part of his address. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the "National Catholic Register."]

The road ahead is bright. Things are changing. Society is shifting. And people, young and old, are embracing tradition. Not only has it been my vocation that has helped me and those closest to me, but not surprising to many of you, should be my outspoken embrace of the Traditional Latin Mass. I’ve been very vocal in my love and devotion to the Traditional Latin Mass and its necessity for our lives.
But what I think gets misunderstood is that people who attend the Traditional Latin Mass to do so out of pride or preference. I can speak to my own experience, but for most people I have come across within these communities, this simply is not true. I do not attend the Traditional Latin Mass because I think I am better than others, or for the smells and bells, or even for the love of Latin. I attend the Traditional Latin Mass because I believe, just as the God of the Old Testament was pretty particular in how he wanted to be worshipped, the same holds true for us today.
It is through the Traditional Latin Mass that I encountered order and began to pursue it in my own life. Aside from the Traditional Latin Mass itself, too many of our sacred traditions have been relegated to things of the past.... The Traditional Latin Mass is so essential that I would challenge each of you to pick a place to move where it is readily available.

Traditional Catholics, so Harrison Butker advocates living in, or even moving to, a place where the Traditional Latin Mass is available. And there are many such places, as clicking on the TRADITIO Network's Official Traditional Catholic Directory department, provided to the TRADITIO Network by the National Registry of Traditional Latin Masses, lists. No wonder the Modernist press has condemned Butker's address. It is refreshingly and unabashedly Catholic -- not Newchurch, but traditional and true Catholic.

Newchurch Attendance Has Gotten So Bad in Germany
That Europe's Most Populous Country Has Been Downgraded to a "Missionary Country"

From: The TRADITIO Fathers
 Newchuchers in Germany

Since the Vatican II Anti-council (1962-1965)
The Newchurch Population in Germany
Has Substantially Declined
Between the Great Sex & Embezzlement Holocaust
And the Rejection of the "New Mess"
The "Sunshine" that the Anti-council Was Supposed to Introduce
Had Turned into the Fumus Satanae (Smoke of Satan)

Newchurch numbers have declined so low in Germany that Newbishop Georg Batzing, President of the German (New)bishops' Conference, declared on May 14, 2024, that Germany, Europe's most populous country, has been demoted to the category of "missionary country." This lower status was the same as that held by the United States until the 1930s. Yet, in accordance with the apostate Newpope Francis Bergoglio's directive, contrary to the prescriptions of Sacred Scripture (the Bible), proselytizing for new members is prohibited.

Since the Vatican II Anti-council, the Newchurch population in Germany has declined significantly by about one-fifth. In 2022 more than half a million "initiated" (formerly "baptized") Newchurchers abandoned Newchurch. Currently, one out of three Newchurchers in Germany were considering abandoning Newchurch. By 2060 it is expected that half of the remaining 22,200,00 Newchurchers would abandon Newchurch. Germany has embraced Bergoglio's apostate refounding the Newchurch of the New Order as the Protestantized Synodal Way. Nevertheless, in the last five years, the decline has not slowed. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the Catholic News Agency Germany.]

Traditional Catholics, one significant cause cited for the significant decline is Newchurch's Great Sex & Embezzlement Holocaust, which continues unabated under Bergoglio. Other causes are rejection of the "New Mess" of 1969, which replaced the Traditional Latin Mass in 1969. Clearly, the "sunshine" that the Vatican II Anti-council was supposed to introduce had turned by 1972, according to Newpope Paul VI-Montini himself, the Newpope of the Anti-council, into the fumus Satanae (smoke of Satan).

Francis-Bergoglio Goes Berserk as Charges Mount that He Is Not Pope, but an Apostate
He Lashes out at His Conservative Newchurchers, Some of Whom Want to Depose Him

From: The TRADITIO Fathers
Francis-Bergoglio

Francis-Bergoglio Flies off the Handle
In a "60 Minute" Interview
And Calls His Neocon Newchurchers Out
For Having a "Suicidal Attitude"
He Has Been in a Bad Temper for Some Time
As More and More of His Own Clergy and Laity
Denounce Him as Not a Catholic Pope
Some even Calling Openly for His Deposition
"The Dictator Pope [Sic]," Who Suffers From
Narcissistic Personality Disorder
Has Been Lashing out at His Own Newchurchers
With Profanity and Vulgarity

Francis-Bergoglio put his foot in his mouth again during a May 19, 2024, "60 Minutes" interview (true popes never gave interviews, as their imprecision leads to doctrinal problems, as have plagued Bergoglio). Obviously, he has been flustered by louder and louder complaints among Newchurch clergy and laity that he is not a legitimate pope, as he does not hold the Catholic Faith. Thus, the foul-mouthed Bergoglio, as he suffers from Narcissistic Personality Disorder, closes his ears to legitimate criticism and lashed out at his Neocon Newchurchers during the interview, while hostess Nora O'Donnell of CBS played the lapdog.

During the interview the Marxist-Modernist Bergoglio slammed Neocon Newchurchers, particularly in the United States (which as a Marxist he hates with a passion) for having a "suicidal attitude." One could harken back to the tirades of the Communist leaders of the Soviet Union during the Cold War. He charges the Neocons with what he himself displays: "clinging to something and not wanting to see beyond that." He termed as "reactionaries" Newprelates such as Newcardinal Ray "Bully" Burke and Newbishop Joseph "Wimp" Strickland. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the "National Catholic Register."]

Traditional Catholics, in the same interview Bergoglio encouraged violating Catholic teaching, particularly that of the Church's Universal Theologian, St. Thomas Aquinas by suborning the crime of illegally invading a country's borders. He also made a sniping comment about countries (obviously with the United States in mind) who legally place walls at their national boundaries. The irony is that his Vatican is itself protected by a massive wall, built in the third century A.D. by the Roman emperor Aurelian. Bergoglio, who openly encourages illegal invaders to violate borders in Europe, steadfastly refuses to let any illegal invaders (whom he euphemistically calls "migrants") into his own city-state.

Franciscan Poor Clares Have Had It; They Are Abandoning the Newchurch of the New Order
And Placing Themselves under the Authority of an Independent Traditional Catholic Bishop

From: The TRADITIO Fathers
Poor Clares

The Franciscan Poor Clares
Are Walking out on Newchurch and Francis-Bergoglio
They Say They've Had It
With Newchurch's "Contradiction, Confusion
And Doublespeak, Ambiguity and Lack of Clear Doctrine"
They Are Placing Themselves
Under the Authority of an Independent
Traditional Catholic Bishop
Who Has Rejected the Newchurch of the New Order
Founded at the Vatican II Anti-council in 1964
As Being Illegitimate and Most Certainly NOT
The True Catholic Church

In an act that should set the example for all religious orders in the Newchurch of the New Order, which is most certainly NOT the Catholic Church, the Poor Clares, a well-known Franciscan religious order for women, announced on May 13, 2024, that its Spanish branch is abandoning Newchurch and placing themselves under the authority of an independent Traditional Catholic bishop, who has rejected the apostate Newchurch and its Newpope Bergoglio. In this they are joining the Carmelites of Arlington, Texas, persecuted by Newchurch for their traditional practices, who seem now also to be in the process of abandoning Newchurch.

The Sister Superior of the order published a five-page Open Letter, in which she and the sisters, with a stinging denunciation of its current head, Francis-Bergoglio, declared that they are abandoning Newchurch, which has "struck the soul of the contemplative sisters." The sisters denounced Bergoglio as mouthing "contradiction, confusion and doublespeak, ambiguity and lack of clear doctrine." The sisters accused Bergoglio of a conspiracy "to dismantle traditionally-minded communities and keep their real estate to sell." The courageous Poor Clares are having nothing to do with Newchurch's apostasy. The Newarchbishop of Burgos, Spain, Mario Iceta, admits that the courageous nuns got the jump on him and have rejected further communication with him as being an appointee of Bergoglio.

Bergoglio himself has compiled a record of hatred for Catholic religious orders, including the Carmelites and the Franciscans. The only order that he seems to approve of is the Newjesuits, a corrupted order, to which Bergoglio himself belongs. The Newjesuits sold themselves out in the 1960s to Communism and Liberation Theology, which approved the killing of conservative leaders in Latin American countries. Newjesuits were personally involved in these killings. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Catholic news sources.]

Traditional Catholics, these little sisters are in fact quite sagacious. They have warned truly Catholic faithful that Newchurch "is going to call us heretics and schismatics, crazy, and many more very disagreeable and calumnious things, but don’t believe them; at least this once, don’t let them fool you." The sisters even accompanied their Open Letter with a 70-page "Catholic Manifesto," which lays out the reasons why the Newchurch of the New Order, founded at the Vatican II Anti-council in 1964, is illegitimate and most certainly NOT the true Catholic Church.

Newchurch Is Getting Desperate
As the Truth about Its
Great Sex & Embezzlement Holocaust
Is Now Being Told Publicly
By Newchurch Presbyters, Newdeacons
Newseminarians, and Newteachers
The Bankrupted Newbishop of Buffalo
Michael Fisher Has Reacted
By Slapping a Gag Order
On All Newchurch Officials

Newchurch is getting really desperate now. In 2020 the beleaguered Newdiocese of Buffalo, New York, went bankrupt. It has been forced to sell off its Newchurchs and other assets to pay judgments to the child victims whom its presbyters and Newbishops have been raping, sodomizing, and otherwise sexually assaulting. The worm has turned, and some of the presbyters who had information on the crimes are giving the truth to the press.

With the truth about the goings-on now being exposed to the public, Newbishop Michael Fisher, a Francis-Bergoglio appointee, on May 13, 2024, has in desperation slapped a new gag order on all presbyters, Newdeacons, Newseminarians, and Newteachers in the Newdiocese. The Newdiocesan Communications Director admitted that he was "concerned" about the truth (which he termed "misinformation") getting out about the extent of the selloff of Newchurch properties and the closure of itsschools. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Buffalo TV 2WGRZ.]

Traditional Catholics, Newchurch is the King of the Cover-up. From Newpope Francis-Bergoglio on down, orders have gone out to squelch any Newchurch official revealing the truth about Newchurch's Great Sex & Embezzlement Holocaust. If Newchurchers found out the real extent of the paedophile crimes the Newpope and his henchmen in the Newdioceses have been committing and how much money and property Newchurch has been forced to lose, even more Newchurchers would leave Newchurch in disgust and would not put any more money in the embezzled collection plate to help bail out the criminal Newchurch organization.

Francis-Bergoglio Again Takes a Swipe at the Traditional Catholic Mass as "Rubricism"
He Is Pushing Savage (Wild) Messes Like the Zairian, Aztec, and Aboriginal Messes

From: The TRADITIO Fathers
The Clown 'Pope'

Francis-Bergoglio Rails Against
The Seriousness and Solemnity
Of the Traditional Latin Mass
Which Worships the Sacrifice of Calvary
He Wants for His Newchurch
An Unregulated Joke
Of a "Wild Mess," Fit only for Clowns
Not the Holy Worship of God

Francis-Bergoglio on May 3, 2024, continued his rant against the Traditional Latin Mass, denouncing it as "rubricism." He has recently been approving "messes sauvages," wild Messes, like the "Aztec Mess" for Central America, in which the pagan Aztec gods, who practiced human sacrifice, are represented and honored. Bergoglio also approved the Zairian Mess for Central Africa, in which the natives dress up in full body paint and dance around the "altar." Most recently, Bergoglio began the approval for the "Aboriginal Mess," which features pagan dress, body paint, semi-nudity, and a plethora of the 500 Australian aboriginal vulgar tongues.

Bergoglio doesn't care that the rubrics of the true Catholic Mass, enshrined in Missals from before Pope St. Gregory I (ca. 600), were first established by Christ on Maundy Thursday, enhanced by the Apostolic and Patristic Fathers of the early Church, enshrined in perpetuity at the dogmatic Council of Trent and published with the Missale Romanum in 1570 and all Catholic Missals to the present day -- though not of course in the books of the New Mess, which is most certainly NOT Catholic or a Mass, but a self-admitted Jewish-Protestant fabrication.

These rubrics, or rules of procedure, show how seriously and solemnly true Catholics practice the worship of God. The true Mass is to be celebrated with great care, not as the sloppy farce that is the New Order service. The Pentateuch of the Old Testament already shows that the first sacrifices offered in the Temple were regulated minutely according to explicit rubrics, the penalty for not following which in some cases was death. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Vatican News.]

Traditional Catholics, Bergoglio thus rejects yet again the mind of the Catholic Church as a whole and its existence for 2,000 years before the anti-Catholic Newchuch of the New Order was founded at the Vatican II Anti-council in 1964. Bergoglio is clearly NOT a Catholic pope, nor is the New Order service used in Newchurch a Catholic Mass. It is a fraud, devoid of validity and grace, just like, e.g., the Lutheran "Mess."

He Asked for Prayers

Contradicting Catholic Dogma
That Those in Heaven Are Already

On May 12, 2024, which is secular Mother's Day in several countries, Francis-Bergoglio made a basic error in theology, which merely confirms that he received no Catholic education, but essentially received only Marxist propaganda from the Liberation Theology Newjesuits in Argentina with whom he associated. From the Newvatican loggia Bergoglio called on the sparse crowd in St. Peter's Piazza to "pray for mothers who have gone to Heaven." Oops!

Catholic dogma is that those in Heaven, mothers or not, are already in perpetual blessedness and need no prayers. It is amazing that the Newvatican officials let such blooper go through, particularly in front of the whole world with the cameras rolling. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the "National Catholic Register."]

Traditional Catholics, it just goes to show how uneducated and incompetent the Newvatican curia has become since the Newpopes took over the Newchurch of the New Order, founded in 1964 at Vatican II Anti-council to replace the Catholic Church as the "institutional" Church. It must always be remember by true Catholics that Francis-Bergoglio and his Newchurch predecessors are merely pretender "popes," who are most certainly NOT part of the true Catholic Church. Whatever they say must be presumed to no more true than is atheistic Communist propaganda.

Bergoglio Is Openly Fearing a Major Schism
From His Dictatorship in the East

On May 13, 2024, Francis-Bergoglio, the apostate Newpope, claimed that it was not his own apostasy from the Catholic Faith that led the Syro-Malabar Eastern Rite Newchurch to revolt against him, but that "the Devil" inspired the revolt, which, in fact, is based simply on adherence to traditional liturgical practice, which Bergoglio despises. Moreover, Bergoglio essentially admitted in his own autobiography that he is a Marxist. Because Marxists are by definition atheists, Bergoglio would, therefore, not believe either in the Devil or in God.

The Syro-Malabar Eastern Rite Newchurch, the second largest Eastern Newchurch in the world with over 5,000,000 total members in India, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the Middle East, has been revolting against Francis-Bergoglio because of his efforts to "turn the altar around," part of the anti-traditional programme that started after the Vatican II Anti-council (1962-1965) in the West. The conflict continues to rock the Eastern Newchurch, with violent protests spilling out on the streets in India, which has rejected Bergoglio's representative, Newarchbishop Andrews Thazhath, and barred him from the cathedral. Bergoglio is openly fearing a major schism from his dictatorship in the East. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by UCA News.]

Traditional Catholics, Bergoglio, known worldwide as Il Papa Dittatore, The Dictator Pope, demanded from the Syro-Malabars "unity and obedience" in his apostate Synodal Newchurch of the New Order, which is most certainly NOT the Catholic Church. But the Syro-Malabars, whose origins date back to St. Thomas the Apostle, the "Doubter," are not accepting the pretender Newpope's Bergoglio's outrageous statements and actions that fly in the face of Catholicism. In fact, true Catholics are forbidden to "unity and obedience" to apostates, including apostate "popes."

The Vatican II Anti-council (1962-1965) destroyed the unity of the Church and its worship when it adopted the abomination of "inculturation," whose ultimate goal is to have a different fabricated Mess for every individual church around the world. It is now sixty years later, and the process has been going along with a vengeance. The first step was to destroy the Roman Catholic (Traditional) Latin Mass and to replace it by worse-than-Protestant services differing all over the world.

Francis-Bergoglio already approved the "Aztec Mess" for Central America, in which the pagan Aztec gods, in which the pagan Aztec gods, who practiced human sacrifice, are represented and honored. Bergoglio also approved the Zairian Mess for Central Africa, in which the natives dress up in full body paint and dance around the "altar." On May 7, 2024, Bergoglio and his Newchurch began the approval for the "Aboriginal Mess," which features pagan dress, body paint, semi-nudity, and a plethora of the 500 Australian aboriginal vulgar tongues. The "Aboriginal Mess" was originally allowed unofficially starting in 1973 by the Unsaint Newpope Paul VI-Montini, who was afraid that if he gave public permission, Newchurchers would revolt -- as well they should have. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the Crux News Service.]

Traditional Catholics, the true Church of Christ is known by its Four Marks: one, holy, catholic, and apostolic. Part of that unity was marked by a precedential Mass, the (Traditional) Mass of the Roman Rite and its Sacred Language of Latin, confirmed in the Bible, which itself, according to Pope John XXIII's foresightful Apostolic Constitution "Veterum sapientia" (1962), reflected those four marks of the true Church. Newchurch lacks all four marks of the true Church and is most certainly NOT the Catholic Church.

Newchurchers Have Widely Abandoned the "New Mess" and the Newchurch Itself
According to a New Study from the Pew Research Center

From: The TRADITIO Fathers
Empty Newchurch

Where Have All the Newchurchers Gone?
A New Pew Research Study
Finds that 72 per cent of Newchurchers
Don't Go to the New Order Service
Weekly on Sundays Any More
The Real Number Is in the Single Digits
As the Pew Number Is "Self Reported
And It Is Well Known that Newchurchers Lie
On These Studies
And Answer What They Think They Should Do
Rather than What They Actually Do

The latest study (April 12, 2024) from the respected Pew Research Center found that 72 per cent of Newchurchers don't go to the New Order service weekly on Sundays any more. In fact, the number of absentees is much higher than 72 per cent because the numbers are "self reported." Many previous studies have shown that Newchurchers lie on such surveys and answer what they think they should do rather than what they actually do.

Recent analysis shows that the real number of Newchurch attendees has fallen into the single digits. One only has to look at all the closed Newchurches (half or more in several Newdioceses), the large number of Newdioceses in bankruptcy, and the widespread rejection of the heretical decrees of Newchurch (such as the "blessing" of "gay unions") to conclude that the number of weekly attendees is significantly reduced. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the "National Catholic Register.]

Traditional Catholics, the Vatican II Anti-council's vaunted "New Mess" of 1969, which is not even the Catholic Mass, but a hodgepodge of Protestant, Jewish, and pagan rites, is being more and more widely rejected as a fake, no different from a Protestant "service." The result is that Newchurchers' belief in the New Order sect is sinking fast. Without a valid Mass and Sacraments, Newchurch has no Sacramental grace to offer, and as Newchurchers come finally to realize this fact, they will continue to stop going.

The Neo-SSPX's Lawyer Has Been Arrested on Charges of Bribery and Espionage
For Many Years Maximilian Krah Has Been a Shadowy and Suspect Neo-SSPX Operative

From: The TRADITIO Fathers
Maximilian Krah

Maximilian Krah Hides His Face from the Press
Krah for Many Years Has Been a Shadowy Operative
For the Neo-SSPX and for Jewish Causes
Krah Has Managed Neo-SSPX Financial Schemes
Now He Has Been Arrested
By the German Government
On Charges of Bribery and Espionage

We have reported before in these Daily Commentaries on the shadowy and suspect Neo-SSPX operative, Maximilian Krah, whom Bernie Fellay, Superior General of the Neo-SSPX, appointed to be the Neo-Society's lawyer. Fellay's Neo-SSPX took over after the founder of the original traditional Catholic Society of St. Pius X (SSPX), Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, died in 1992. Krah is a controversial political creature, who is also a member of the German Bundestag.

The Neo-SSPX continues to be tainted by corruption, but until recently Fellay & Co. had been able to keep most of the corruption under wraps from the membership. No more. The once U.S. District Superior is now on trial for a paedophile rampage over two decades in France, Switzerland, and Spain. The Neo-SSPX is being investigated by the Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI), where the Neo-Society has its U.S. headquarters. The Neo-SSPX is also being investigated for paedophile crimes at a school it runs in Gabon.

We last reported on Krah in February 2011, when what had been termed "Krahgate" became an open scandal. Fellay took as his partner in almost a dozen investment firms (the Neo-SSPX has reportedly salted away many millions in Swiss bank accounts) the fund-raiser for Jewish causes, Dresden lawyer Maximilian Krah. Many members of the Neo-SSPX demanded that Fellay fire Krah, but Fellay stubbornly refused. On April 29 Krah was finally arrested by German police on charges of bribery and espionage. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the Associated Press.]

Traditional Catholics, when the saintly Archbishop Lefebvre was alive, the direction of the original SSPX remained essentially traditional and hostile toward the Newchurch of the New Order, more so as the years went by. But when the Archbishop died in 1991, Bernie Fellay used the opportunity to take over the Society, revise its bylaws into a Neo-SSPX, and turn it into a Novus Ordo-leaning organization with himself as de facto dictator. Stories have popped up from time to time about the dastardly doings going on in the Neo-SSPX, but Fellay was generally able by his heavy-handed dictatorial methods to cover them up. Now the worm has turned. It seems that God's justice can no longer be suppressed, and the Neo-SSPX's filthy laundry is being hung out for all to see.

Francis-Bergoglio Announces Sudden Newpapal Junket to Papua New Guinea
Is It All Part of a Cover-up for the U.S.'s Self-proclaimed "Devout" Catholic and Newchurch's Ongoing Paedophile Crimes?

From: The TRADITIO Fathers
New Guinea Children

Francis-Bergoglio Announced a Sudden Junket
To Papua New Guinea
Likely in Response to U.S. President J.R. Biden's
Nonsensical Statement that Guinean Cannibals
Ate His Uncle
Biden's Statement Set off a Diplomatic Brouhaha
Bergoglio Will also Try to Cover up Newchurch's
Ongoing Paedophile Crimes in New Guinea
And around the World

It could not have been just happenstance that just three weeks after U.S. President J.R. Biden concocted a story that his uncle had been eaten by New Guinea cannibals in World War II, Francis-Bergoglio announced a Newpapal junket to that country, perhaps to save Biden's hide. Biden had made the startling statement on April 17, 2024, on a campaign stop in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Even the U.S. Defense Department called Biden's story false. Papua New Guinea was so enraged that the country registered a diplomatic complaint against Biden with the United Nations for slander against New Guinea.

Bergoglio is staging the New Guinea publicity junket for September 6-9, 2024. Bergoglio loves the fellow Marxist/Modernist, pro-abortionist Biden, who publicly calls himself a "devout Catholic," even though he has been excommunicated by several Newbishops for openly supporting and funding the killing of babies up to delivery, and even a little thereafter. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the "National Catholic Register."]

Traditional Catholics, for good measure, Bergoglio scheduled a publicity stop with Guinean boys and girls. Of course, he made no reference whatsoever to Newchurch's continuing Great Sex & Embezzlement Holocaust, in which boys and girls around the world have been raped, sodomized, and otherwise sexually assaulted by Bergoglio's Newcardinals, Newbishops, and presbyters. New Guinea has large numbers of "street children" vulnerable to the predations of Newchurch clergy.

Francis-Bergoglio Starts Blessing Lesbian "Spouses"
In Accordance with His Decree "Fiducia Supplicans"

From: The TRADITIO Fathers
Newchurch Lesbian 'Marriage'

The Newarchdiocese of Chicago
Stages a "Lesbian Marriage"
Under the Aegis of the Apostate Newpope
Francis-Bergoglio's Bosom Buddy
Newarchbishop Blase Cupich
Bergoglio's Decree "Fiducia Supplicans"
De Facto Redefined Marriage
Approved "Civil Unions," aka "Gay Marriage"
And Provided for the Blessing of Gay "Spouses"

The time bombs just keep coming with Francis-Bergoglio's decree "Fiducia supplians," which essentially redefined marriage, approved "civil unions," aka "gay marriage," and provided for the blessing of gay "spouses." Originally, these blessings were publicized for "gay" men, but now they have been extended to Lesbians as of April 22, 2024.

The first publicized "marriage" took place under the aegis of the notorious Newcardinal of Chicago, Illinois, Blase Cupich, a bosom buddy of Bergoglio, so there is no doubt that it has been given the "nihil obstat" of the apostate Newpope. Actually, the presbyter involved openly conducted a "gay marriage" rather than a blessing, asking the Lesbian fornicators, "Do you freely recommit yourselves to love each other as holy spouses and to live in peace and harmony together forever?" The two women respond, "I do." The presbyter than pronounced: "The rings that they have exchanged are the sign of their fidelity and commitment." [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the "National Catholic Register."]

Traditional Catholics, Newchurch lies as a matter of course. Bergoglio's decree claimed that these blessings were not "gay marriages," but that is clearly not the way many presbyters and Newbishops are interpreting the document. In the face of such sacrilege and heresy, Cupich has not contradicted the presbyter's interpretation. Bergoglio has not contradicted the presbyter's interpretation.

This is the way it works in Bergoglio's apostate Newchurch sect. His decrees aren't worth the paper they're printed on. All is deliberate chaos in the Newchurch of the New Order in order to destroy the True Faith. But it won't work. There are thousands of courageous Traditional Roman Catholic priests around the world not associated with the apostate Newchurch of the New Order who maintain the True Faith, with the Traditional Latin Mass and Traditional Latin Sacraments, outside the apostate Newchurch of the New Order, which is most certainly NOT the Catholic Church.

Talk at Newrome Indicates that the Protestant Modernist Edith Stein
May Be Made a "Doctoress" of Newchurch

Edith Stein

Edith Stein Was Con-anized
As an Unsaint of Newchurch
Amidst Widespread Controversy
Now Talk at Newrome
Indicates that Stein May Be Made

Stein Associated Herself
With the Radical Protestant Phenomenology
That Is the Basis of the Heresy of Modernism
The Scourge of the 20th and 21st Centuries
Condemned Particularly by Pope Pius XI
And Pope St. Pius X

Newchurch's next "Doctoress" may be a once-Jewess and feminist named Edith Stein. Stein, who was Novus Ordo con-anized as an Unsaint in 1998 by the apostate Newpope JPII-Wojtyla. His act caused many to question openly whether Newchurch was even Catholic. Wojtyla was a notorious "oecumenist," who personally and publicly participated in the rites of infidel and pagan religions.

Wojtyla was truly a crackpot, worshipping in "sacred groves" with Togo pagans, allowing himself to be marked with cow dung by a Hindu priestess, smearing incense on his face along with aboriginals in Australia, presiding over a New Order service in Africa, at which a semi-nude woman read the Epistle in front of him, and committing over one hundred other documented idolatries. He became the Second Paedophile Newpope, as child rape, sodomy, and sexual assault became rampant with impunity under his regime from 1978 to 2005. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the "National Catholic Register."]

Traditional Catholics, as to Stein's academic "qualifications," her philosophy is the radical Protestant phenomenology advanced by such heretics as Emmanuel Kant and Georg Hegel and is the basis of the Heresy of Modernism, the scourge of the 20th and 21st centuries, condemned particularly by Pope Pius IX and Pope St. Pius X as "omnium hereseon conlectum, the "synthesis of all heresies." She is the perfect Doctoress for the apostate Newchurch of the New Order, which is most certainly NOT the Catholic Church.

On May 5, 2024, a Newchurch presbyter from the Czech Republic, Milan Palkovic, possibly so disgruntled at the apostate Newpope Francis-Bergoglio, entered Newvatican with concealed weapons during the Regina Caeli. The presbyter was dressed in a traditional cassock and possessed an air pistol, two knives, a cutter, and a screwdriver. A second man was also detained. Newvatican has been very close-mouthed about the incident. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the La Repubblica.]

Traditional Catholics, a number of recent polls have revealed that Francis-Bergoglio's popularity has sunk markedly in recent years. Even several Newchurch clergy -- presbyters, Newbishops, and Newcardinals -- have called Bergoglio out for being an overt herertic and therefore a pretender Newpope. It is only a matter of time until some presbyter or other will have had enough of the Bergoglian regime, because Newchurch's Great Sex & Embezzlement Holocaust continues unabated, because Bergoglio is converting Newchurch into a Protestant Synod, and because Bergoglio is pushing a radical one-world, green political agenda.

Francis-Bergoglio's Spokesman Announces the Death of the Priesthood in Newchurch
He Openly Rejects in the Apostate Newpope's Name the Dogmatic Teaching Council of Trent

From: The TRADITIO Fathers
Jean-Claude Hollerich & Francis-Bergoglio

Francis-Bergoglio Has Given His Spokesman
Newcardinal Hollerich His Instructions
Hollerich then Announced
That the Catholic Priesthood
As Dogmatically Defined by the Council of Trent
Is Dead
And Is Being Replaced with a Protestant Model
Of Ministers and Assemblies of the People

The apostate Newpope Francis-Bergoglio's spokesman, Newcardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich, on May 6, 2024, rejected the dogmatic Council of Trent in the apostate Newpope's name, demanding that Newchurch presbyters (ministers) "leave behind the Tridentine model of priesthood and embrace synodality." Hollerich was appointed by Bergoglio to head the next plenary session of the "Great Synod on Synodality," which has been described as a Vatican III Anti-council to turn the Newchurch of the New Order into an openly pagan organization.

"Synodality" is Bergoglio's pet notion of turning his Newchurch of the New Order into a Protestant model. The dogmatic Council of Trent is bedrock Catholicism, which canonized for all time the Traditional Latin Mass (which is not the half New Order "New Latin Mess of 1962"), the Latin Sacraments, and traditional Catholic doctrine and morality against the heresies of the Protestants.

Hollerich has denounced the "Tridentine model of the priesthood." That model is a sacrificial priesthood, in which priests are ordained in Holy Orders "to offer the Sacrifice of the Mass for the living and the dead" and to forgive sins in the name of Christ. The Newchurch model is an abandonment of the priesthood and the Mass and the substitution of a Protestant ministry to preside over "assemblies of the people." In fact, Newchurch stopped ordaining priests in 1968 and adopted a Protestantized New Ordinal that merely "installs presbyters," like Protestant ministers. In 1969 Newchurch rejected the Mass and substituted an invalid (fake) "service" based upon Protestant and Jewish models. Newchurch is now openly Protestant, lacking a Mass, Sacraments, and supernatural grace. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Catholic World News..]

Traditional Catholics, nothing is clearer under the sun than that the Newchurch of the New Order, founded in 1964 at the Vatican II Anti-council to replace the Catholic Church, is most certainly NOT the Catholic Church. Often it is not even Christian, but openly pagan. Newcardinal Hollerich, as a spokesman for Bergoglio, already proclaimed that sodomy, one of the Four Biblical Sins that Cry out to Heaven for God's Retribution, is not even a sin. Shortly thereafter, on December 18, 2023, Francis-Bergoglio confirmed this vile teaching in his decree "Fiducia supplicans" encouraging the "blessing" of sodomite "couples." Numerous prelates have at last been pushed to admit the obvious reality that Bergoglio is not a pope, but an apostate pretender, just as were his immediate predecessor Newpopes.

On April 30, 2024, the Louisiana State Police served criminal warrants on the Newarchdiocese of New Orleans and its Newarchbishops for "felony violations of the law that prohibits 'trafficking of children for a sexual purpose.'" The New Orleans Newarchbishops were said to be personally "aware of rampant sexual abuse [assaults] throughout the (New)archdiocese."

The child victims were transported to various Newchurch parishes, where they were sexually assaulted. In addition to Newparishes being the sites of the criminal assaults, the New Orleans Newchurch Seminary and its swimming pool became the locus of rampant sexual assaults upon children. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the "National Catholic Register."]

Traditional Catholics, the warrants charge that "previous (New)archbishops ... not only knew of the [widespread] sexual abuse and failed to report all the claims to law enforcement, but [also] spent (New)archdiocese funding to support the accused.” The Newarchdiocese was also charged with paying off the victims to dismiss the charges. The Newarchdiocese of New Orleans has been in bankruptcy since May 2020. If the investigators do their job, the entire Newchurch organization will be closed down permanently.

Orthodox Jews in Jerusalem Are Ramping up Their Anti-Christian Attacks
And Spitting on Christian Pilgrims, with Little Response from the Israeli Government

From: The TRADITIO Fathers
Christian Pilgrims Spat Upon

Out of Control
Increasing Reports Come in from Jerusalem
That Orthodox Jews Are Attacking
And Spitting upon Christian Pilgrims
Walking the Sacred Via Dolorosa
The Benedictine Abbot Was also Attacked
In the American Quarter of Jerusalem
The Israeli Government Has Been Slow
To Respond to the Incidents
But Now Tourism Money Is Declining
And even Evangelicals Are Complaining

One hears so much hyperbole about anti-Judaic sentiments on the part of Christians that the other half of the story is often lost: anti-Christian bigotry by Orthodox Jews. But in recent months the Jerusalem papers have been reporting on several prominent issues involving Orthodox Jews harassing Christians in that city. These incidents were increasing in late April 2024, as Jews flooded into Jerusalem for Pascha (Passover).

Orthodox Jews were caught spitting on Christian pilgrims and their Holy Places, including the Via Dolorosa, the sacred route Christ took to Calvary. In February 2024 Benedictine Abbot Nicodemus Schnabel was attacked in the American quarter of Jerusalem, and reporters have been recording Orthodox Jews audibly blaspheming against Jesus in Hebrew.

So out of control have attacks by Orthodox Jews upon Christians grown that a data center has been set up to document such attacks against Christians. So far the Israeli government has turned a deaf ear to the problem. However, the number of attacks has increased to the point that Christian tourism to Israel is declining, and Western support for the Israeli-Gaza War is being undermined. In the end, money talks. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the "National Catholic Register."]

Traditional Catholics, it is scandalous how much money Evangelical groups, particularly in the United States, pour into Israel, whereas their own Bible tells them that their primary responsibility is to "the household of the [Christian] Faith" (Galatians 6:10/DRV). One has to wonder whether the loyalties of the so-called Evangelicals -- who, by the way, are particularly beloved to the apostate Newpope Francis-Bergoglio -- are to Christ or Caiphas.

Catholic Traditionalist Movement Founder Died 19 Years Ago Today on May 6
Fr. Gommar DePauw Started the Traditional Catholic Movement Six Years before the SSPX even Existed

From: The TRADITIO Fathers
Gommar DePauw

Fr. Gommar DePauw (1918-2005)
Had Attended the Vatican II Anti-council
As a Peritus (Theological Expert)
But Went Independent in 1964
When That Anti-council Founded the Newchurch in 1964
Fr. DePauw Founded the Catholic Traditionalist Movement
When there Was Virtually Nothing Left
For (Traditional) Catholics in the 1960s
Except Fr. DePauw's Traditional Latin Masses on Radio
And His Periodical, Sounds of Truth and Tradition

If you ask most traditional Catholics who the founder of the Traditional Catholic Movement was, most of them wouldn't have an clue. Some of them might say Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, who founded the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) in 1970. But they would be dead wrong. Such ignorance is a scandal to the Traditional Catholic Movement, as every important movement commemorates and lauds its founder, and certainly knows his name! In fact, May 6, 2025, marks the nineteenth anniversary of the death of the founder of the Catholic Traditionalist Movement, Fr. Gommar DePauw. Fr. DePauw was a noted Catholic priest, having received a Triple Major Licentiate, in Canon Law, Moral Theology, and Church History, from the Catholic University of Louvain, Belgium (when it was Catholic), thereby outdoing Fulton Sheen, and having served as Academic Dean at the Primatial Seminary of the United States in Baltimore, Maryland.

Already in 1963 Fr. DePauw, who viewed the debacle of the Vatican II Anti-council sessions first hand as a peritus (theological expert assisting a bishop), was scandalized by the promulgation of Vatican II's "Sacrosanctum Concilium" (Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy) and saw, before practically anyone else, clergy or lay, the devastation that this document would impose upon the Church. In 1964 Fr. DePauw left his Deanship at the Primatial Seminary and founded the Catholic Traditionalist Movement, courageously going independent of the Newchurch of the New Order. 1964 was the year in which the Vatican II Anti-council and Paul VI-Montini apostatized from the Catholic Faith and founded the apostate Newchurch of the New Order to replace the Catholic Church with the heretical Constitution for the [New]church, "Lumen gentium." This was six years before Archbishop Lefebvre founded the Society of St. Pius X.

One of the most remarkable aspects of Fr. DePauw's anti-Modernist movement was that this remarkable priest founded the Catholic Traditionalist Movement before the Vatican II Anti-council had even ended! Long before Archbishop Lefebvre, SSPX, SSPV, CMRI, SSPV, the Unsaint JPII-Wojtyla's "Indult" of 1988, and Benedict-Ratzinger's "Extraordinary" New Latin Mess of 2007, it was Fr. DePauw who first saw that the flowery talk of a "new springtime" for the Church was a ruse being deceptively used to befuddle the faithful while the revolutionaries enacted their heretical Modernist anti-Catholic agenda, which began with the destruction of the Traditional Latin Mass in their Newchurch of the New Order.

In the aftermath of the Vatican II Anti-council, there was virtually nothing left for traditional Catholics in the early 1960s except Fr. DePauw's Traditional Latin Masses on radio in major metropolitan areas and his Catholic Traditionalist Movement periodicals and recordings, broadcasted all over North America from his Ave Maria Chapel on Westbury, Long Island, New York, to put the lie to Newchurch's claim that the two-thousand-year Traditional Latin Mass no longer existed. For those who lived through the early Novus Ordo period, it was a bleak time, yet, because of Fr. DePauw's courageous apostolic work, countless souls were inspired to resist the New Order, and thus he laid the groundwork for the current traditional Catholic movement. He continued to be an outspoken critic of Newchurch and its phony (invalid) Protestant-Masonic-Pagan "New Mess" until his death in 2005.

Fr. DePauw, with the eye of a prophet seeing far ahead of his time, did not grovel to the Novus Ordo to seek "permission" of apostate Newchurch bishops or send petitions to apostate Newpopes to grant an "indult" for what he and every Catholic priest has the Apostolic right and duty to do: to offer the Traditional Latin Mass and Traditional Latin Sacraments for the salvation of souls, and to offer the Sacrifice of the immemorial True Mass for the living and the dead and for the ultimate glory of Almighty God.

Traditional Catholics, get down on your knees today and pray a Requiem aeternam for this courageous traditional Catholic priest who showed us all the right way, the traditional Catholic way, and refused to back down to the apostate Newchurch of the New Order, with its Novus Ordo Protestant-Masonic-Pagan "New Mess" or its "New Latin Mess" of 1962. If you have the fullyTraditional Latin Mass and Sacraments today in your independent Traditional Catholic church, chapel, or oratory, you would not have them unless Fr. Gommar DePauw had courageously paved the way to give them to you. All the other "traditionalist" organizations, including the Society of St. Pius X, were johnny-come-latelys to the work that the courageous and foresightful Fr. DePauw undertook to save the Traditional Catholic Church.

Desperate Newchurch Pulls the Plug on AI Presbyter
The Artificial Intelligence Clergyman Was Universally Mocked and Gave out Disinformation

From: The TRADITIO Fathers
Fake 'Fr. Justin'

Newchurch's Fake AI Presbyter
Named "Fr. Justin"
A Newchurch Agency Tried to Trick
Clueless Newchurchers
Into Accepting Answers on the New Order Religion
From the Fake Presbyter
And 1,000 Newchurchers an Hour
Fell for the Ruse
Which Provided Them with Disinformation
Like "Initiation by Gatorade"

Isn't the Newchurch of the New Order getting so desperate? Attendance at its fake (invalid) "New Mess" is plummeting, collections and donations are way down because of rampant Newchurch paedophilia, embezzlement, and other scandals, and even Francis-Bergoglio's secular popularity has taken a big hit. Because Newchurches are being closed right and left, up to half and more in some Newdioceses, and because the number of presbyters dying, retiring, and quitting has depleted the Newclergy to a fraction, the Newchurch organization Catholic Answers came up with a solution: replace human presbyters with artificial intelligence.

So mocked was the silly attempt that on April 24, 2024, the AI Presbyter, dubbed "Father Justin," was pulled in humiliation, just two days after "he" was introduced. "Father Justin" was denounced as a "soulless avatar" and a "mockery." Now a silly Newchurch layman will replace the presbyter to answer whatever is supposed to be Newchurch belief, which changes from day to day. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Catholic Answers.]

Traditional Catholics, it is shocking, though certainly not surprising, that one thousand clueless Newchurchers an hour were consulting the fraudulent AI Presbyter, which was handing out disinformation like candy. One particularly amusing answer was that Initiation (formerly Baptism) could be accomplished with Gatorade. One can only guess at how many more invalid Newchurch "initiations" were performed as a result of that one!

Neocons Hopes for Reversing Bergoglio Are in Vain, Says Newvatican's No. 2, Newcardinal Parolin

From: The TRADITIO Fathers
Francis-Bergoglio & Pietro Parolin

Newcardinal Pietro Parolin (Right)
Most Likely to Succeed Francis-Bergoglio
As the Next Pretender Newpope
Of the Apostate Newchurch of the New Order
Has Declared that Newchurch Will Not Reverse
Francis-Bergoglio's Apostate Programme
But that It Will Continue on Full Speed Ahead
Under a Parolin Newpapacy

On April 24, 2024, Newvatican's No. 2, Secretary of State Newcardinal Pietro Parolin, who is widely believed to be the likely next Newpope of Newchurch, proclaimed that, far from reversing its course, Francis-Bergoglio's apostate programme will continue on full speed ahead under a Parolin Newpapacy. Thus did the clueless Neocon Newchurchers, who are hoping in vain for a less radical Newpope, see their hopes explicitly dashed to smithereens.

Parolin went on to blaspheme, attributing the apostate programme of Newchurch to be the work of the "[Holy] Spirit," thus attributing the evil of apostasy against the Catholic Faith to the Third Person of the Most Blessed Trinity and invoking the Biblically "unforgiveable sin," i.e., "he that shall speak against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, nor in the world to come" [Matthew 12:32/DRV].

Parolin openly mouthed the heresies of the Vatican II Anti-council, repeating the half truth, "ecclesia semper reformanda," the Church must always be reformed. That principle most certainly does not apply to doctrine and worship, as the Newchurch leaders do, but to the sinful humans that run the Church (of course, the Newchurch of the New Order is most certainly NOT the Catholic Church). Otherwise, Catholics would all be required to become Lutherans, as the arch-heretic Martin Luther claimed to be "reforming" the Church and concocted the Protestant "Reformation."

In the 1950s Pius XII appointed the Freemason presbyter to "reform" the Sacred Liturgy by various stratagems and began the destruction of traditional Catholic worship that culminated in the blasphemous "New Holy Week" of 1955, in the half New Order "New Latin Mess" of 1962, and in the invalid (fake) "New Mess" of 1969. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by National Catholic Reporter.]

Traditional Catholics, thus has Newcardinal Parolin dashed the hopes of the Neocon Newchurchers, who are now forced to come face to face with the continuance of the apostate Newchurch of the New Order and its pretender Newpopes: "Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate," Abandon all hope, ye who enter here (Dante Alighieri, Inferno, Canto 3).


MAY 3, 2024 - FINDING OF THE HOLY CROSS
DOUBLE FEAST OF THE SECOND CLASS

St. Helena and the True Cross

Sancta Helena Constantinopolitana
Verum Crucem Christi Invenit
St. Helena of Constantinople
Finds the True Cross of Christ
Sculpture by Andrea Bolgi, 1635

"Mihi autem absit gloriari, nisi in cruce Domini nostri Iesu Christi."
["But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ."]
(Galatians 6:14)

St. Helena, the mother of Constantine the Great, who ended the persecution of Christians in the Roman Empire in the year 313, made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem to find the actual Cross on which Our Lord was crucified. When she had cleared away the site, she discovered three crosses. Near one lay the title with the inscription recorded by St. John in his Gospel (19:19): "Iesus Nazarenus, Rex Iudaeorum." Thereupon, the empress of the world fell upon her knees to worship, says St. Ambrose, "not the wood, but the King who had hung upon the wood."

Newchurch presbyters are, of course, not priests. Newchurch has not ordained priests since 1968 when it adopted an invalid (fake) Protestantized New Ordinal and then started "installing presbyters to preside over the assembly of the people," not "to offer the Sacrifice of the Mass for the living and the dead" and to absolve sin. These presbyters have no sacramental power whatsoever: they cannot "do Mess," nor can they administer sacraments. They are no more priests than Lutheran ministers are.

So, what's a presbyter going to do with his time? Outside of rampant paedophilia, many of them have turned to thievery. Week after week presbyters are being convicted of stealing money from the Newchurch collection plate and the poor box. And what do they spend their ill-gotten money on? In the latest case, the presbyter spent over 40,000 USD of Newparish money on 2,200 gambling transactions of video games for himself on his cellphone. Well, he has to have something to do with so many Newchurches closing!

On April 21, 2024, police showed up at St. Thomas More Newparish with an arrest warrant for presbyter Lawrence Kozak on felony theft charges. Police described the Newchurch presbyter's thefts as "an astronomical amount of Apple transactions." Kozak was so brazen that he didn't even try to conceal his theft on the Newparish books, probably realizing that most Newdioceses' audits are a joke. Kozak has admitted to the expenditures. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the "National Catholic Register."]

Traditional Catholics, even the Newchurch "pope" Francis-Bergoglio gets away with rampant embezzlement of Newchurch funds from London real estate scams and children's hospitals. Presbyter Kozak was apparently partial to Candy Crush, Pokemon GO, and slot-machine games, so the presbyter is a gambler as well. Isn't it convenient that Newchurch "prelates" can use the Newchurch collection plate and poor box as a slush fund for their gambling!


MAY 1, 2022 - STS. PHILIP & JAMES
DOUBLE FEAST OF THE SECOND CLASS

The May 1 Feast of "St. Joseph the Worker" is NOT traditional. It was concocted by the Freemason presbyter Hannibal Bugnini, the head of "liturgy" for the nascent Newchurch of the New Order and placed in the calendar in 1955, in conjunction with Communist May Day. The concocted new feast shockingly displaced on May 1 the traditional Feast of Sts. Philip & James, the Apostles of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and suppressed the traditional Solemnity of St. Joseph, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Confessor and Patron of the Universal Church, which had long been celebrated on the Wednesday after the Second Sunday after Easter.

The new May 1 Feast of St. Joseph the Workman ("Worker" in genderless "modernized" English) was widely reviled in the Church at the time by the highest authorities, and was derisively called the Feast of "Joe the Worker" or the "Pseudo-feast of San Giuseppe Comunista" by the Romans and others, as it fell on Communist May Day. The traditional Sacred Congregation of Rites rejected Bugnini's new feast, and there was open opposition in the Church to it. Opposition to the new feast was so strong that the Sacred Congregation of Rites refused for four years to formulate the Gregorian-chant Mass and Divine Office for the new feast.

Sts. Philip & James

Sanctus Philippus et Sanctus Iacobus
Apostoli et Martyres
St. Philip & St. James
Apostles and Martyrs

"In crastinum voluit exire in Galilaeam
et invenit Philippum.
Et dicit ei Iesus: Sequere me."

["On the following day, (Jesus) would go forth into Galilee:
and he findeth Philip.
And Jesus said to him: Follow me."]
(John 1:43)

From the early Church the Holy Apostles Philip and James the Less (brother of St. Jude Thaddeus) have shared the same feast day, May 1, because the relics of the martyrs were solemnly translated from New Rome, i.e., Constantinople, by Pope Pelagius I to the Church of the Holy Apostles at Rome, where they still rest. St. Philip brought the Catholic Faith to Scythia. St. James the Less was Bishop of Jerusalem and wrote the Epistle in the New Testament. He was martyred by the Jews by being thrown from the pinnacle of the Temple.
