Just as Benedict-Ratzinger provided in his Summorum pontificum of 2007, Francis-Bergoglio has begun prohibiting religious orders from performing "ordinations" in even the Half New Order (1962) rite. We put "ordinations" in quotation marks because the Newbishops performing the 1962 "installations" have not been consecrated as Catholic bishops under the traditional rite of Holy Orders, but were merely "installed" under the invalid (fake) Protestantized New Ordinal of 1968. Traditional Catholics use the valid (Catholic) typical edition (1888 and its successors) published before the New Pontifical of 1961-1962. According to the Catholic theological principle, you can't give what you don't have.
By a decree of Newchurch's Divine Worship Dicastery in December 2021, carrying out Bergoglio's decree "Traditionis custodes" of July 16, 2021, Newbishops were prohibited from using even the 1961-1962 rite of "ordination," let alone the traditional Catholic Ordinal of 1888 and its successors. To put teeth into his decrees against anything not New Order, the Missionaries of the Divine Mercy have as of June 24, 2024, have been prohibited from "ordaining" the five men currently pending and any "future" ordinands. Bergoglio is thus expanding to "ordinations" his suppression of the 1962 New Latin Mass, which is most certainly NOT the Traditional Latin Mass. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Vatican News Bulletin.]
Traditional Catholics, Francis-Bergoglio summoned the Superior General of the Institute of Christ the King to an audience in Newrome on June 24, 2024. Is this the beginning of second wave of assault upon the New Latin Mess groups? But not to worry. These pseudo-traditionalist like the Fraternity of St. Peter (FSSP) aren't Catholic anyway, as they are wedded to the Newchurch of the New Order, which is apostate from the Catholic Church. Thank God, there are many thousands of independent Traditional Catholic churches, chapels, and oratories around the world with true priests, who maintain the true Catholic Mass, Sacraments, Faith, and Morals, who have nothing to do with the apostate Newchurch of the New Order.
You have to hand it to those courageous traditional nuns from religious orders who are abandoning the apostate Newchurch of the New Order and its "Dictator (New)pope" Francis-Bergoglio. The traditional Spanish Franciscan Poor Clares saw Newchurch for what it was and got out. All this the nuns completed before the clueless Newarchbishop of Bourgos, Spain, Mario Iceta, knew what was going on.
The nuns are happy now that they have placed themselves under an independent Traditional Catholic bishop not associated with the apostate Newchurch. The Newarchbishop of Bourgos was caught so flatfooted that his phony "excommunication" on June 22, 2024, was too late. The Carmelites of Arlington, Texas, are considering the same action, as are other traditionalist Newchurch religious groups.
The nuns had accused the Newchurch of the New Order of "doctrinal chaos" and "contradictions" in the faith. Bergoglio blows hot and cold. One day he says that sodomites cannot be judged; the next day he is calling them frocioginni, a vulgar term in Italian meaning "faggots." One day he implies that abortion is good; the next day it is not. One day he supports paedophilia; the next day he condemns it. One day he talks about the Catholic Church; the next day he wants to replace it with his Protestant/Pagan "Synodal Church."
It should be pointed out that purported "excommunications" by the Newchurch of the New Order, which is most certainly NOT the Catholic Church, are null and void, just as would be a Lutheran "excommuncication" or an Anglican/Episcopalian "excommunication." True Catholics have no business having "communion" with the Protestant/Pagan Newchurch, the Lutheran sect, the Anglican/Episcopalian sect or any other such sects. In fact, Newchurch has become the worst of these, introducing not just heresy, but a large dollup of paganism ("Pachamama" Mess, "Aztec" Mess, etc.). Even excommunications from the pre-conciliar Catholic Church were a juridical function, not a doctrinal function. They can be just as erroneous and defective as a secular jury verdict. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Agence France-Presse.]
Traditional Catholics, at this rate, losing more and more Franciscans, Carmelites, Newcardinals, Newbishops, presbyters, religious, and laymen to "schism" from his apostate Newchurch, which is most certainly NOT the Catholic Church, Francis-Bergoglio may be inciting a full-blown revolution. It is fair to say that his persecution of even his own Neocon/Pseudotraditionalists and his imposition of his "Synodal Church" in place of even the Newchurch of the New Order is not going over, not at all.
Neocons and Pseudo-traditionalists, those who still remain in the Newchurch of the New Order, which is most certainly NOT the Catholic Church, Francis-Bergoglio is out to exterminate you. His purpose and that of his hand-picked henchmen, like Newcardinal Victor Fernandez, Prefect of the New Order Doctrine Dicastery, and Newcardinal Arthur Roche, Prefect of the Novus Ordo Worship Dicastery, is to extinguish the least whiff of Catholicism out of Newchurch. (By the by, the correct pronunciation in English of the word schism is sism, not skism.)
The most recent case is the "arresting" of Newarchbishop Carlo Vigano on June 20, 2024, on charges of "schism" -- the very charge upon on which Bergoglio himself should be spending life in Newvatican's claustrophobic mediaeval prison. But, in the (im)moral realm, Bergoglio has accepted sodomy, lesbianism, and transexualism as beyond his power to judge. Meanwhile, after his weekly Wednesday Angelus (which he has turned into a political screed, not a prayer), he has never failed with open arms since 2024 to meet with sodomites, lesbians, and transsexuals. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Catholic World News.]
Traditional Catholics, the apostate Newpope consistently refuses to meet with the Neocons and Pseudo-traditionalists of Newchurch, who cling to the Half New Order Vatican II New Latin Mess of 1962, even though that Mess is most certainly NOT the Traditional Latin Mass, but a fabrication of the Freemason presbyter Hannibal Bugnini after 1950. Bergoglio hates anything Catholic in his Newchurch of the New Order and has sworn to exterminate every last bit of it as he builds his "Synodal Church." Thank God, there are many thousands of Traditional Catholic churches, chapels, and oratories around the world with true priests, who maintain the true Catholic Mass, Sacraments, Faith, and Morals.
Abbe Benoit de Joma, the Neo-SSPX's District Superior for France, in his June 2024 Letter to Friends and Benefactors, indicates that the three existing bishops (Bernie Fellay, Bernard Tissier de Mallerais, Alfonso de Galarreta) are not young and that it is time to consecrate assistants with right of succession.
Benoit de Joma rightly predicts that when such consecrations take place, the media will go wild, as will the Neocon and Pseudo-traditionalist Newchurchers. He seems to indicate his uncertainty that the Neo-SSPX will have the strength to be faithful to the "unadulterated Catholic Faith," which has, in any case, already been compromised by Bernie Fellay's "deals" with the Newchurch of the New Order.
Traditional Catholics, in view of the June 20, 2024, announcement that Francis-Bergoglio's outspoken critic, Newarchbishop Carlo Vigano, will be subjected to the punishment of the Newpapal Inquisition for criticizing the apostate Newpope and the Vatican II Anti-council, one wonders what effect this situation will have on Fellay and his Neo-SSPX. Archbishop Lefebvre, founder of the original Traditional Catholic Society of St. Pius X (SSPX), was also subjected to an auto-da-fe cum star chamber on a trumped-up charge of "schism" and Novus Ordo "excommunicated," but Lefebvre ignored Newchurch, and the SSPX flourished as a result.
Newarchbishop Carlo Vigano, former Newpapal Nuncio to the United States (2011-2016), who has courageously called out Newpope Francis-Bergoglio for his numerous apostasies, has announced that the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the (New Order) Faith has summoned him in a "simple E-mail" to a extrajudicial penal trial (star chamber cum auto-da-fe) on June 20, 2024, by Newvatican Inquisitors on a charge of "schism" for having denied the "legitimacy" of the apostate Newpope Bergoglio and the apostate Vatican II Anti-council. In fact, if anyone is in schism from the Catholic Church, it is Bergoglio himself! And, yes, even valid popes (which Bergoglio is certainly NOT) can be in schism, according to Catholic theologians.
Vigano has stated that he regards the accusations against him "as an honor. It is no coincidence that the accusation against me concerns the questioning of the legitimacy of Jorge Mario Bergoglio and the rejection of Vatican II: the (Anti-)council represents the ideological, theological, moral, and liturgical cancer of which the Bergoglian 'Synodal Church' is the necessary metastasis."
The apostate Newpope denied Vigano an ecclesiastical trial because Bergoglio obviously doesn't want Vigano to make a public defense, which would be covered worldwide and expose Bergoglio for the apostate and sex criminal that he is. Vigano says that because this is an "extrajudicial" process, i.e., not a trial: "I assume that the sentence has already been prepared." The fix is already in. In 2018 Vigano presented evidence that Bergoglio had been complicit in covering up sex crimes against children and young Newseminarians by the notorious Newcardinal Theodore McCarrick. Vigano called on Bergoglio to abdicate at that time. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by National Catholic Register.]
Traditional Catholics, it is no coincidence that Vigano's most recent revelation, on the basis of statements of knowledgeable clergy, that Bergoglio himself had been involved in sex crimes against Newseminarians in Argentina when he was Master of Novices there, may have precipitated this move by Bergoglio. This is the same hoax that the "Unsaint" Newpope JPII-Wojtyla pulled in 1988 on Traditional Catholic Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, founder of the original Traditional Catholic Society of St. Pius X (SSPX). As a result, the Archbishop merely became stronger, and the SSPX grew as a result. Vigano seems unphased and raring for the fight. Bergoglio may just have triggered the schism in Newchurch that has been predicted for some time.
According to a blockbuster investigative report in The Washington Post of May 31, 2024, 122 presbyters and religious have been accused of sexually assaulting over 1,000 Indian children at 22 U.S. boarding schools. Of the schools examined in the article, the six at which assaults were most prevalent were all Newjesuit schools. In the Modernist revolution of the Proto-Newchurch of the 1950s and the Vatican II Newchurch of the 1960s, the Jesuits, who were always a troubled organization, so bad as to have been abolished by Pope Clement XIV for 41 years around the time of the American Revolution, were reorganized in the 1950s and 1960s into a Marxist-bent group that practiced Liberation Theology, including the murder of conservative leaders in Latin America.
The most active regions for the Newjesuits' predations were the Midwest and Pacific Northwest, including Alaska. This "national crime scene” involved the "rampant physical, sexual, and emotional abuse" of the children. The perpetrators included presbyters, sisters, and brothers assigned to 22 U.S. boarding schools. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by The Washington Post.]
Traditional Catholics, Francis-Bergoglio, who has recently himself been credibly accused of sex crimes against young Newseminarians, went on a Newpapal junket to Canada in 2022 and purportedly apologized for the crimes in Canada. But he has remained silent about the crimes perpetrated in the boarding schools in the United States.
Here in Rome we have been hearing now firm rumors from reliable sources that, as Benedict-Ratzinger had engineered in his "Summorum pontificum" of 2007 (if read completely and carefully), the Half New Order Vatican II Anti-council's New Latin Mess of 1962 (formerly known as "indult" or "extraordinary") will be suppressed and replaced by the Protestant-Masonic-Pagan invalid (fake) New Mess of 1969 (formerly known as "ordinary"). The Secretary of Newchurch's Dicastery on Divine Worship (sic), Newbishop Vittorio Viola, has written to the Newarchbishop of Melbourne, Australia, forbidding him from simulating the New Latin Mess of 1962 in his cathedral and promoting its substitution by the New Mess of 1969 (Novus Ordo) -- but in Latin to fool the Neocon and Pseudo-traditionalist Newchurchers.
There are indications that Francis-Bergoglio will issue on July 16, 2024, a Newchurch Apostolic Constitution, the goal of which would be to wipe out the pseudo-traditionalists of NewChurch once and for all. The date is significant, as it marks the third anniversary of Bergoglio's decree "Traditionis custodes," which greatly curtailed the New Latin Mess of 1962, to which the Newchurch pseudo-traditionalists cling, even though it is not the Traditional Latin Mass, having been corrupted by the proto-Novus Ordo of the 1950s and the Vatican II Anti-council of 1962.
What of the sellout "indult" societies, like the Fraternity of St. Peter (FSSP) and the Institute of Christ the King? They will likely be given some compromise, like the New Order Mess in the vernacular, with the Canon in Latin, said aloud, in violation of the anathema of the dogmatic Council of Trent.
To what extent Fellay's Neo-SSPX will go along is anybody's guess. It is now in a vulnerable position, as its U.S. District Director has been imprisoned along with another Neo-SSPX "priest" for paedophile crimes, and investigations have been opened up against the Neo-SSPX on three continents. Naturally, the truly Traditional Catholic priests, who remained entirely independent of the apostate Newchurch of the New Order will completely ignore the apostate Bergoglio's invalid "decrees."
This could be a very hot summer for the Neocons and Pseudo-traditionalists in Newchurch. However, it could be cool and pleasant for real Traditional Catholic priests, churches, chapels, and oratories.
THE TRADITIO FATHERS COMMENT.
We predicted exactly this outcome from the beginning. The Neocon and Pseudo-traditionalist Newchurchers have consistently deluded themselves. They fell for the "Ecclesia Dei" ruse of the "Indult" Mess in 1988. They fell for the "Summorum pontificum" ruse of 2007 and the New Latin Mess of 1962. In fact, those who have sold out to the Newchurch of the New Order, which is most certainly NOT the Catholic Church, and its progressively apostate and paedophiliac Newpopes are getting only what they deserve. They have shown no courage, but have consistently played the anti-Catholic sycophants -- need we say "suckers"? -- to a fake Newchurch sect and fake "popes."
Meanwhile, Fellay's Neo-SSPX, which rejected Archbishop Lefebvre's original Traditional Catholic Society of St. Pius X, is imploding, as its paedophile district superiors and priest(?) are being outed and jailed. Fellay will still try desperately to keep the lid on with his well-known dictatorial threats, just like "The Dictator" Newpope, Francis-Bergoglio, but, just as occurred after the Boston Globe's exposure of Newchurch's Great Sex & Embezzlement Holocaust in 2002, once the lid is blown off, more and more information bursts out. As the Sacred Scriptures teach: "Magna est veritas, et praevalet," Great is the truth, and it prevails (3 Esdras 4:41/V).
As these Commentaries have reported on numerous occasions previously, Francis-Bergoglio was deeply implicated in the 450,000,000 USD London Real-estate Scam, in which Newchurchers' donations were put at risk. The whole case is still in the U.K. courts. Bergoglio was fingered by several of his accomplices under oath in open court as being the mastermind of the scam, meeting weekly with his agents to give authorization for the illegal activities.
Now the United Nations has announced an investigation into Bergoglio's personal authorization of illegal wiretaps, involving witnesses who had testified in his own court against him. Bergoglio stands accused of authorizing illegal wiretaps, of illegally violating the privacy of E-mails, and of permitting the arrest of his opponents without a judge's warrant. He has been named with the U.N. as a "perpetrator" of human-rights abuses relating to witness intimidation. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the U.K. Telegraph.]
Traditional Catholics, it is corruption like this that has led Europeans to call Bergoglio "Il Papa Dittatore, The Dictator (New)pope. The case against Bergoglio will be referred to the new session of the U.N. Human Rights Council in Geneva, which starts on June 24, 2024.
It is well known that Francis-Bergoglio and U.S. President J.R. Biden are buddy-buddy because they are both Leftist Newchurchers (if that), but the latest incident involving the mentally-failing President and Newpope was too much even for the Modernist Newvatican officials. Without invitation, on June 14, 2024, Biden broke protocol and lurched at the Newpope sitting in a wheelchair, and head-butted him while nuzzling him. Bergoglio was visibly startled and shaken, one source used the term "freaked out." Yet, according to the U.S. Ambassador to Newvatican: "These two love each other." Make of that what you will.
Biden, who is thought to be sinking now into rapidly-advancing dementia, as he displayed most recently at the preceding G7 conference in Italy, has a history of strange, even perverted, behavior. He nuzzles women and children without being invited, and the recipients of his nuzzles have expressed offense at his perverse "attentions." Biden's "bull in a china shop" behavior imitates that of the similarly uncouth former U.S. President B.H. Obama, who broke protocol and gave a startled Queen Elizabeth II a bear hug. In contrast, former U.S. President Trump scrupulous followed protocol with both the Newpope and the Queen. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Microsoft News.]
Traditional Catholics, Francis-Bergoglio himself is uncouth ad extremum. He has a mouth "like a truck driver" and frequently uses vile and vulgar terms to denounce his opponents. For example he has called Newchurch pseudo-traditionalists "shit-eaters" (coprophagics) and homosexuals "frociaginni" (faggots).
On June 30, 2024, the Newvatican's Dicastery on Promoting Christian Unity issued a 130-page document entitled "The Bishop of Rome," in which the Dicastery's Prefect, Newcardinal Kurt Koch, spoke of a "reformulation" of the dogmatic teachings of the First Vatican Council on the primacy and infallibility of the pope.
Of course, such primacy and infallibility would pertain only to true popes, not the apostate Newpopes of the the apostate Newchurch of the New Order, as several infallible decrees by true popes of the past have made clear. Koch says that this dogmatic teaching "poses a problem" to Newchurch's oecumenism, the heresy that teaches that "we all worship the same gods" and that "all religions are true." The dogmatic teaching of Vatican I clearly in "Dei verbum" Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation, declares:
Neque enim Petri successoribus Spiritus sanctus promissus est, ut eo revelante novam doctrinam patefacerent, sed ut eo assistente traditam per apostolos revelationem seu fidei depositum sancte custodirent et fideliter exponerent.
[small]For the Holy Ghost was promised to the successors of Peter not so that they might, by His revelation, make known some new doctrine, but that, by His assistance, they might religiously guard and faithfully expound the revelation or Deposit of Faith transmitted by the Apostles.]
So, once again the Newchurch of the New Order proves that it is most certainly NOT the Catholic Church. Instead, its apostate Newpopes have been moving against the dogma of infallibility in matters of faith and morals in accordance with Scripture and Tradition ever since the first Newpope, the man who promulgated for the Newchurch of the New Order every one of the sixteen heretical documents passed by the Vatican II Anti-council, Paul VI-Montini., and kicked off the Newchurch of the New Order in 1964 by stating: "the pope without a doubt is the greatest obstacle on the path to oecumenism." [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Catholic World News.]
Traditional Catholics, even Francis-Bergoglio himself has indicated that he does not think that he is a true pope. On two occasions speaking to the international press on the Newpapal airplane returning from his junkets, he has stated that he knows that there are many Catholics who do not believe that he is the pope, and he did not refute their statement. In fact, he acts the United Nations Secretary General or the Cmiate Czar of a New World Order.
Harvard University, supposedly the United States' premier university, has recently come under increasing fire for everything from plagiarism to suborning terrorists. Now it is being accused of absconding with a Saint's relic, namely, that of the famous St. Sebastian, a third-century Martyr for the Catholic Faith by the unusual method of sagittation, or death by arrows, from the Latin word for "arrow," sagitta.. St. Sebastian's martyrdom has inspired numerous works of literature, art, and music. The Saint's relic is being held in Harvard's library "stacks," not even in its Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology.
The ever "politically correct" Harvard has readily returned 500-year-old Danish mummies back to Denmark, saying that it "respects the cultural sovereignty of communities to determine future steps." If you are a Dane, you get respect. If you are a Catholic, you don't. Harvard also returned 10,209 items to American Indians. But it plans to keep ("abscond with") the Saint's relic, which belongs in an appropriate shrine, chapel, or oratory, where it can be properly venerated. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Harvard University.]
Traditional Catholics, it may be that Newcardinal Sean O'Malley, of Boston, is too busy fighting lawsuits from numerous child victims of his paedophile presbyters to bother about getting a Martyr-Saint's relics back. Probably one word from O'Malley could do just that.
A man who claims to love homosexuals and transexuals, a man who claims to have no authority to judge the grave sin of sodomy (even he himself doesn't seem to think that he is a true pope), a man who has recently been accused of committing paedophile crimes against young seminarians when he was Master of Novices in his native Argentina, Francis-Bergoglio displayed his filthy mouth once again again when he used a vulgar Italian word, "frociaginne" (faggot), to describe homosexuals at a meeting of presbyters of the Rome Newdiocese on June 11, 2024.
And this occurred after he had already apologized for using the sexual slur once before, on May 20 at a meeting of the Italian Newbishops. The man is clearly a hypocrite rivaling the infamous High Priest Caipas. Bergoglio is well known for his filthy mouth. For example, he has used fifty vulgar and derisive terms to defame traditional Catholics, even to the extent of calling them "shit eater" (coprophagics). [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Crux News Service.]
Traditional Catholics, both pseudo-traditionalists and sodomitic Newchurchers are flummoxed by Bergoglio's hypocrisy. He flutters back and forth on moral issues like the wind. He claims that he cannot judge, yet he then uses vulgar jabs at the very people he claims not to be able to judge. He has recently issued confusing statements about whether sodomites can enter his Newseminaries. Bergoglio is no true pope -- and never has been.
Poland used to be one of the most Catholic countries in the world. That was before the Vatican II Anti-council's Newchurch of the New Order replaced the Catholic Church as the "institutional" Church on November 21, 1964, the date on which its new constitution was promulgated by the "Unsaint" Newpope Paul VI-Montini and it officially adopted the Heresy of Modernism as its foundation. That heresy, which Pope St. Pius X called the "Collection of All Heresies," holds that "we all worship the same gods" and "all religions are true."
Poland has suffered more than most other countries under Newchurch's continuing Great Sex & Embezzlement Holocaust, as graphically exposed on Polish television by the 2019 documentary "Tell No One." It has gotten so bad in once-Catholic Poland that 47 child victims on May 29, 2024, demanded the ouster of the new President of the Polish (New)bishops' Conference, Newarchbishop Archbishop Tadeusz Wojda, of Gdansk, on charges of covering up the rape, sodomy, and other sexual assaults upon children. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by The Tablet.]
Traditional Catholics, one particularly egregious case was Wojda's appointment of a paedophile presbyter to be the chaplain of a psychiatric hospital, where he assaulted the child patients. Any notion that Newchurch's Great Sex & Embezzlement Holocaust has ended is pure Newchurch propaganda. Just ask the child victims!
On February 29, 2020, the Newdiocese of Buffalo, New York, home to internationally-famous Niagara Falls, declared bankruptcy in the midst of a paedophile sex scandal in which its Newbishop, Richard Malone, was involved, as Newchurch's Great Sex & Embezzlement Holocaust continues. Now the consequences and the pain begin in Buffalo for all those involved in this vile Newdiocese, Newbishops, presbyters, and laymen alike. The Newdiocese has already sold off its headquarters building in Buffalo.
On May 29, 2024, the Newchurch diocese announced that it is shamming shut the doors of one-third of its 160 Newparishes. A study showed that half of the Newchurch households in Buffalo have deserted the sinking Newchurch ship. Attendance at the fake (invalid) Protestant-Masonic-Pagan "New Mess" of the Vatican II Anti-council (1962-1965) has tanked to single digits. Newparishes now are lucky to have one fake "Initiation" (formerly valid Baptism). Newchurch marriages are down by 24 per cent.
Another problem faced by this Newdiocese is common to all Newchurch dioceses: nobody wants to be a Novus Ordo presbyter. (Newchurch stopped ordaining priests in 1968, when it adopted a Protestantized New Ordinal to "install presbyters," who are no more than Protestant ministers, with no sacramental power for Confessions, Masses, or the other former sacraments. Newchurch is devoid of grace -- that fact explains why the Newchurch of the Order is fast plummeting down to Hell. Thank God for the Traditional Catholic churches, chapels, and oratories that maintain the true Catholic Church. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the National Catholic Register.]
Traditional Catholics, the current Newbishop -- who was never consecrated as a Catholic bishop, but, like all Newchurch bishops, was merely "installed" as an "overseer" under the Protestantized New Ordinal of 1968 -- openly admits that the "Catholic Church [sic] in western New York is not the same as it was 50 years ago [before the Vatican II Anti-council." In fact, he is not talking about the Catholic Church at all, which was replaced at the Anti-council by a Newchurch of the New Order, which is most certainly NOT the Catholic Church. It is in fact an apostate sect, even worse than the Arch-heretic Martin Luther's sect.
It is easy to tell that Francis-Bergoglio is no true pope when you look at the schedule of people he chooses to meet with officially, including, for example, a weekly meeting with transsexuals, while Newchurch Neo-cons, who push the Vatican II Anti-council's Half New Order "New Latin Mess" of 1962, have been waiting years for a single meeting. The clown of a Newpope, who has appeared in public wearing a big red clown's nose, will have an official meeting with more than 100 clowns right in the Newapostolic Palace on June 14, 2024.
Bergoglio's co-conspirators in this nonsense are Newvatican's Dicasteries for Culture and Education (!) and for Communication. The list of clowns includes Leftist/Marxist "celebrities" such as Jimmy Fallon, Stephen Colbert, Conan O'Brien, Whoopi Goldberg, and Chris Rock. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by (New)Vatican Press Office.]
Traditional Catholics, Bergoglio told the press that he prays daily in the words of St. Thomas More, asking the Lord to grant him a sense of humor. There's nothing wrong with a sense of humor, but isn't this meeting going beyond the pale? Moreover, Bergoglio has indicated no readiness to be decapitated as a true Catholic Martyr, like the great St. Thomas More, who would likely have spat upon the apostate Newpope Bergoglio.
Since the saintly Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre died in 1991, and his Traditional Catholic Society of St. Pius X was taken over in 1994 by "Bishop" Bernie Fellay, later joined by his pupped "Fr." Dave Pagliarani, and reorganized into a Neo-SSPX, the crimes that have been going on, which the media were long intimated from publishing, have now hit the international press with a vengeance. The victims of these crimes have now formed a new organization called the "Collective of Victims of (Neo-)SSPX Crimes."
The first action of the Collective has been to expose "Fr." Patrick Groche, whom it calls the "perpetrator of rape of minors in Gabon, Africa, and France." It seems that Groche admitted to his crimes and is now hiding out in the Neo-SSPX's St. Ignace House in Lourdes, France, thus desecrating the holy site of the apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The Collective has blown the lid off St. Ignace House as a "place where the (Neo-) Society of St. Pius X hides its predators and other problematic priests." The Collective is joining with the Children's Movement, which is fighting against all forms of violence against children.
The Collective estimates the number of such predators at 70, or 10 per cent of the Neo-SSPX clergy in the world. Thus, one out of ten Neo-SSPX priests would have been secreted away without any warning to the clueless Neo-SSPX members at its churches, chapels, and oratories around the world, let alone without any warning to the general public. This is Standard Operating Procedure for Fellay & Co., as is known within the NSSPX, to many truly Traditional Catholic clergy outside the NSSPX, and to many aggrieved members of the NSSPX who were suppressed, vilified, and expelled simply for simply trying to tell the truth about what was going on. A large section of Neo-SSPX is morally out of control, and has been for some time.
On April 4, 2024, "Fr." Arnaud Rostand, Fellay's District Superior of the United States, was convicted charges of sexual assault on numerous children over a period of fifteen years at Neo-SSPX sites and has been imprisoned. Rostand joins Abbe de Maillard, convicted in 2023 of sexual assault or rape, and Abbe B, now on trial on the same charges. In the United States, the Neo-SSPX is being investigated by the Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI). [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Collectif des Victimes de la FSSPX.]
Traditional Catholics, without the guiding hand of Archbishop Lefebvre, the Neo-SSPX has fallen into the clutches of Fellay & Co., who has displayed a shocking degree of moral depravity in concealing the degree of paedophile crimes going on at its sites. Fellay has become well known for being the leading force in trying to sell out the Neo-SSPX to the Newchurch of the New Order. Newchurch that vile group, currently sinking under the weight of its Great Sex & Embezzlement Holocaust and responsible for the rape, sodomy, and other sexual assaults upon hundreds of thousands, if not millions of "Catholic," i.e., Newchurch children, taints everyone with whom it comes into contact, including Bernie Fellay and Dave Pagliarani.
The National Catholic [Newchurch] Census Report on May 23, 2024, released the stunning news that on that southern continent, attendance by Newchurchers at the Protestant-Masonic-Pagan fake (invalid) "New Mess" of 1969- fell by a full one-third in just the five year period 2016-2020, the last five-year survey period for which statistics have been analyzed. Nor can the huge loss be laid at the feet of the Red China Virus, which affected only the last of those years. The previous five-year period, 2011-2016, had also seen a precipitous drop in attendance at the Novus Ordo pseudo-Mess.
Newchurch went to the dark side dumping the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Traditional Latin Mass of two millennia. Newchurch has reverted to a Tower of Babel of vulgar tongues since the Vatican II Anti-council (1962-1965). For millenia it had essentially one universal Traditional Latin Mass, in the Sacred Language of Latin. Now in Australia alone the New Mess is babbled in 42 vulgar tongues! [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Catholic World News.]
Traditional Catholics, ironically, attendance increased only in the Chaldean and Syro-Malabar Eastern Rites, the latter being the rite that is fighting against Francis-Bergoglio and refusing to turn its altars around. That rite saw an increase in attendance of 90%. Even Newchurch has turned against its apostate Newpope Bergoglio, who ruled during the entire period of the study.
On June 6, 2024, Newvatican admitted that it had fallen prey to a scam, in which a 1633 Bernini manuscript was stolen from its collection and successfully sold back to the clueless Newvatican for 130,000 USD. Bernini was a famous Renaissance sculptor and architect of St. Peter's Archbasilica, particularly the baldachino above the high altar, now defiled on a regular basis by the heretic Protestant-Masonic-Pagan "New Mess" of 1969 simulated there after the Vatican II Anti-council.
This theft and extortion was just the latest in a series since the apostate Newpope Francis-Bergoglio took charge of the priceless collections housed in the Newvatican. The true popes once took an oath not to alienate any of the Church's property and were the Guardians of the Church's patrimony. That ended with the advent of the Newchurch of the New Order, founded in 1964 at the Vatican II Anti-council to replace the Catholic Church, and its apostate Newpopes.
Since the advent of Bergoglio, there has been no Guardian of the Vatican's rare manuscripts and art works. Security is so lax that one tourist picked up an ancient Roman bust and broke it into pieces by throwing it onto the floor. Many pointed to the fact that Bergoglio has let St. Peter's Archbasilica become filthy with dust and grime. After all, Newvatican is technically bankrupt because Bergoglio is spending donations on his Marxist/Modernist pet projects that have nothing to do with the Catholic religion. As a result, donations are way down, and basic maintenance and security have been severely cut back. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Catholic News Agency.]
Traditional Catholics, the world would be better off if the Vatican's collections were placed under the guardianship of responsible organizations like the British Museum and the Louvre in Paris. The British Museum already houses priceless pieces from antiquity, such as the Rosetta Stone and the Walls of Babylon, which it took extraordinary steps to preserve undamanged during the Second World War for the benefit of all mankind.
April 2021
I wish to inform your readers about the reason that led Malaysia break off our relationship with the Neo-SSPX run by Bernie Fellay and Dave Pagliarani. The Neo-SSPX's bullying tactics that took place in Kuala Lumpur is no different from what is going on elsewhere in the world. Malaysia is the 20th most populous of the 52 countries in Asia, having 35,000,000 citizens, about the size of the State of California in the United States.
After 29 years of being loyal to the Neo-SSPX, our relationship with that sect has ended because of its mistreatment and abuse of the authority of the current District Superior of Asia and his priests. The Chapel of the Sacred Heart of Jesus is owned and managed by our local association, but the Neo-SSPX District Superior wanted absolute authority over the chapel and the community here in managing our association when, according to the Malaysian Registrar of Society ( R.O.S.) rules, foreign priests cannot be members, but can be only visitors/guests. The visiting priests and the District Superiors in the past had no issue with this regulation and had accepted it.
Our close cooperation and problem-free relationship with the Neo-SSPX is testament to this, but no longer. We have always respected the priests' authority in all spiritual matters and had never opposed it. Our association members are accountable to R.O.S. and can be legally prosecuted for not abiding by the regulations, but the Neo-SSPX is not so accountable. We act according to the missionary philosophy of the founder of the original Traditional Catholic SSPX founded by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre. His main aim was to offer the Traditional Latin Mass and Traditional Latin Sacraments to faithful who want them, not to own and run the Mass centers. The Neo-SSPX's aim is just the opposite.
However, our 29 years of loyalty accounted for nothing to the Fellayite Neo-SSPX, which refused to consider any compromise, but insisted on absolute control; therefore, we parted ways. Once ties with us were cut off, the Neo-SSPX wasted no time in setting up another Mass center in another township, using our chapel's name, and prohibiting our committee and members from attending Mass there! Why does the Neo-SSPX leaders think we would want to do so anyway, and what do such actions say about the Neo-SSPX sect? They tarnish the priesthood and their Archbishop-founder's name. "By their fruits you shall know them." And after thirty years the fruits of the Neo-SSPX have turned rancid. [Somewhat edited for amplification and grammar.]
THE TRADITIO FATHERS REPLY.
We have heard many similar piteous complaints from around the world after the 1991 takeover of Archbishop Lefebvre's original Traditional Catholic Society of St. Pius X (SSPX), founded in 1970, six years after Fr. Gommar DePauw founded the Catholic Traditionalist Movement in New York City and began to spread Traditional Catholicism around the world. The Neo-SSPX has established a a foul reputation of rapaciousness, commandeering for itself, often by stealth, sites around the world and trying to stamp out all other sites but its own.
All Traditional Catholic sites should be wary of these devilish tactics. The Neo-SSPX is not to be trusted and is certainly not operating in the manner of its saintly founder. We concur with what you have reported about the bullies that have taken over the Neo-SSPX. As you indicated, this sect is no longer the original SSPX of Archbishop Lefebvre, whose Traditional Catholic qualities you very aptly described.
In just the same way that in 1964 the Newchurch of the New Order took over the Catholic Church and turned it into a new apostate organization, which is most certainly NOT the Catholic Church, the Neo-SSPX took over the Archbishop's original Traditional Catholic SSPX, rewrote its bylaws, and, after the death of the Archbishop in 1991, turned it into a new highly flawed organization, a Neo-SSPX, with new bylaws and a new leader, the Puppetmaster Superior Bernie Fellay, who still pulls the strings behind the scene, even though he now fronts Davie Pagliariani as his new puppet superior.
When thinking of how the Neo-SSPX and its leaders have turned their backs on the truly Traditional Catholic work of the Archbishop, we are reminded of the prophecy of Jeremias (13:15/DRV): "Thus saith the Lord: A voice was heard on high of lamentation, of mourning, and weeping, of Rachel weeping for her children and refusing to be comforted for them, because they are not." Likewise, Archbishop Lefebvre's Society of St. Pius X is no more.
To kick off "Gay Pride" Month, on June 2, 2024, Francis-Bergoglio appointed three public homophiliacs to take over Newchurch's reorganized "Doctrine" Dicastery: Newcardinal Jose tolentino de Mendonca, Newcardinal Marcello Semeraro, and Newarchbishop Bruno Forte, All three have publicly called for the incorporation of sodomy into Newchurch. Just three days later Newarchbishop Carlo Vigano, former Newpapal Nuncio to the United States, that Bergoglio himself had been involved in paedophile sex crimes with young Newseminarians when he was Master of Novices for the Newjesuits in Argentina.
Bergoglio already appointed his fellow Marxist/Modernist bosom buddy Victor Fernandez on September 30, 2023, to head the reorganized doctrinal dicastery, once headed by the noted traditional Catholic theologian, Alfredo Cardinal Ottaviani, who wrote the famous Short Critical Study of the Novus Ordo Missae, commonly known as the Ottaviani Intervention, and publicly declared to Newpope Paul VI-Montini that his "New Mass" was a Protestant heresy. Ottaviani's action forced the recall of the "New Mass" for a year and left egg splattered all over the apostate Newpope Montini's face. Then the Modernist Josef Ratzinger headed the doctrinal dicastery from 1981 to 2005 before he was elected Newpope of the Newchurch of the New Order. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Breitbart.]
Traditional Catholics, the noose is closing around Bergoglio. He is being dragged from pillar to post, so that his statement on sodomy, one of the Biblical Four Sins that Cry out to Heaven for Justice contradict themselves from day to day. One day he says of sodomy, "Who am I to judge?," indicating that he doubts his own purported Newpapacy. The next day he is calling sodomites "frociaginne" and "checchi," both vulgar terms for homosexuals. It is now crystal clear to any thinking person that Bergoglio is most certainly NOT a true pope and that the Newchurch of the New Order is most certainly NOT the Catholic Church."
On June 5, 2024, Newarchbishop Vigano, former Newpapal Nuncio to the United States in Washington, D.C., went public and accused Francis-Bergoglio directly of committing "the same abuses" as the notorious paedophile Newcardinal Theodore McCarrick, of Washington. D.C. In was in that post that Vigano became privy to the dossiers of U.S. presbyters, Newbishops, and Newcardinals who committed paedophile crimes. For years the Unsaint JPII-Wojtyla, Benedict-Ratzinger, and Bergoglio had covered up McCarrick's crimes because he was an effective globe-trotting fund-raising tool for them, even getting Communist Chinese Dictator Xi Jinping to bribe Bergoglio to appoint Communist Chinese agents as Newchurch "bishops."
Vigano said that he was told directly by one of Bergoglio's victims, a former novice of Bergoglio, that Bergoglio himself "committed the same abuses when he was Master of Novices for the Newjesuits in Argentina, as personally confided to me by one of his former novices.” Bergoglio was well aware of what "abuses" these were (of children and young Newseminarians), as Vigano had personally told Bergoglio at a June 23, 2013 meeting: "There is a dossier this big. He corrupted generations of seminarians." Vigano reported that upon hearing this revelation, Bergoglio "remained impassive and completely changed the subject," as he was himself involved in the same crimes as Master of Novices for the Newjesuits in Argentina.
Vigano is not the first to have accused Bergoglio of paedophile sex crimes. In 2015 a Newmosignor, as corroborated by several Newjesuits, told several Newjesuits in the United States, at the time of Bergoglio's junket to the United States, that the Newpope had sodomized a Newjesuit novice in Cordoba, Argentina, when Bergoglio was Master of Novices for the Newjesuits in Argentina. Other witnesses are said to have been intimidated and possibly even murdered. Newchurch and the Newchurch-leaning press is now trying to squelch these reports, afraid that if they gain public traction, Bergoglio's regime will be over. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by CBS News.]
Vigano reveals that from his conversations with Bergoglio, he believes that Bergoglio does not want to purge paedophilia and sodomy by Newchurch clergy, but instead wants to "declassify the serious sinfulness of sodomy and corruption of minors [in order that] the door opens on the civil front to decriminalization of these crimes." Vigano further states that Bergoglio is "familiar" with "corrupt people" and their vulgar vocabulary, as recently when Bergoglio used the vulgar derogatory Italian term "frociaginne" for sodomites at the May 20, 2024, meeting of the Italian (New)bishops' Conference. Vigano assigns this complicity as the cause of Bergoglio's
protection and promotions granted to countless corrupt and perverted (New) cardinals, (New)bishops and pr(esbyters); the buses of transvestites invited on several occasions to the (New)vatican; private hearings for transsexual and homosexual couples in concubinage; the scandalous LGBTQ+ media spotlight granted to James Martin, S.J.; the shameful promotion of Tucho Fernandez to Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the (New Order) Faith; the recent appointments of two Canons of Santa Maria Maggiore who are known throughout the city of Rome as homosexuals.
Traditional Catholics, Vigano believes that Bergoglio himself is a member of the "gay lobby," which Bergoglio feigns at times to condemn for P.R. purposes to fool particularly the Neocon and Pseudo-traditionalist Newchurchers. One Newchurch source expressed the belief that Bergoglio is being blackmailed into complicity because he would be outed by the several hundred Newbishops who have been charged with paedophile crimes and who know what Bergoglio has done.
It seems that the apostate Newpope Francis-Bergoglio turns more and more bizarre by the day. Not satisfied with suborning Newchurch's continuing paedophile Sex & Embezzlement Holocaust, he is now sponsoring a World Children's Day that features a male drag-queen dancer as one of the entertainers. The WCD was staged at the Olympic Stadium in Rome on May 25-26, 2024, just 3,000 metres due north of Vatican City. The man was officially invited by the Newvatican, and Bergoglio himself appeared at the site later in the day.
The man, who calls herself Carmine De Rosa, "entertained" the children by changing into various suggestive female costumes during the performance. Some of the costumes were little more than flimsy cardboard. According to the former Newpapal nuncio to the United States, Newarchbishop Carlo Vigano, the event demonstrated Bergoglio's support for morally-condemned LGBTQXXX ideology. "It is now clear that Bergoglio is one of the main activists of the hellish LGBTQ + agenda." [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by LS News.]
Vigano alluded to the divine penalty that Bergoglio was earning for himself:
But he that shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be drowned in the depth of the sea (Matthew 18:6/DRV).
Traditional Catholics, it is from Our Lord's very words that we get the expression "a millstone around the neck." Christ may well have been thinking of that ancient Roman punishment of drowning its worst criminals in the Tiber River. Our early Christian forebears also used this method of punishment for heretic popes. They threw a couple of the Unholy Fathers into the Tiber River, which runs close to the Vatican Hill, to their death.
As Newchurch's Great Sex & Embezzlement Holocaust continues unabated, the 38th Newdiocese in the United States has sunk under the weight of its presbyters' sex crimes against children. When over 154 child victims sued the Newdiocese, Newbishop Joseph Brennan threw in the towel and declared on May 28, 2024, that the Newdiocese will file for bankruptcy.
154 new child victims came forth against the presbyters of the Newdiocese, which has now been plunged into bankruptcy for its crimes. Fresno joins the Northern California Newdioceses of Sacramento, Santa Rosa, Oakland, Stockton, and the Newarchdiocese of San Francisco in having to pay the price of bankruptcy and sell-off of Newchurch properties to pay for their paedophile crimes. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by National Catholic Register.]
Traditional Catholics, Newbishop Brennan has been denounced by the long-standing victims' rights group, Survivors Network for Those Abused by Pr(esbyters), for taking the easy way out by declaring bankruptcy rather than paying the full measure for their grievous sins. But the burden may be more than SNAP could predict. The U.S. Bankruptcy Court is getting pretty fed up with these paedophile Newchurch Newbishops and is ordering that they pay their child victims by selling their Newcathedrals, Newseminaries, and Newschools. Nothing less would satisfy God's justice for their suborning One of the Biblical Four Sins that Cry out to Heaven for Justice.
It seems that Francis-Bergoglio has made such a mess of Newchurch in his native Argentina that he will cancel his plans to travel back this year for the first time. His appointment of Newbishops to Newdioceses there has been so abominable that since 2018 he hasn't set foot in South America In that year he visited Chile, whose Newbishops erupted into rage against him because he had appointed two paedophile Newbishops. It was a great embarrassment to Bergoglio and Newchurch.
The latest Bergoglian scandal involves Newarchbishop Gabriel Antonio Mestre, who resigned from La Plata, after having been appointed by Bergoglio just nine months previous. His replacement in his former Newdiocese of Mar del Plata, abdicated just three weeks after Bergoglio appointed him. The next replacement abdicated in four weeks after Bergoglio appointed him because he was charged with sex crimes. For almost five months now the Newbishopric has remained sede vacante. On May 27, 2024, Bergoglio then fired Mestre from La Plata on unspecified "grave charges" after just a year.
In 2013 Bergoglio had appointed his intimate, Gustavo Zanchetta, to be Newbishop of Oran, Argentina. After he was charged in 2017 with sex crimes and embezzlement, he was relieved of his post and rushed to the bosom of Bergoglio, who created a new position for him in the Newvatican, in which Zanchetta, who couldn't run even a small Newdiocese, now administers all the property of the Unholy See. He lives in the Casa Santa Marta beside Bergoglio's. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the National Catholic Register.]
Traditional Catholics, the Argentinean Newbishops are still livid against Bergoglio for appointing, against their advice, the known paedophile cover-up artist as Newbishop of Oran. That, plus the Zanchetta case, and now the Mestre case, have so damaged Francis-Bergoglio's credibility in Argentina that it is unlikely that he will ever vsee Argentina again. He has become a national scandal. Now Bergoglio's reputation in Argentina is toast. He is persona non grata there for the rest of his Newpapacy.
On May 27, 2024, the U.S. Conference of Catholic (New)bishops reported that after 20 years of self-serving publicity about a "Zero-tolerance" policy on paedophile sex crimes perpetrated by its presbyters and Newbishops, Newchurch's Great Sex & Embezzlement Holocaust continues unabated. The Newbishops' 2023 annual report for the period July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2023, 1,308 lists charges of paedophile crimes against 842 members of the Newchurch clergy. 33 per cent of the children sexually assaulted were under age 9, 52 per cent were aged 10-14, 15 per cent were aged 15-17.
In just those twelve months, Newchurch spent some 260,000,000 USD, mostly in court judgments to the child victims. In the last ten years Newchurch has been forced to shell out over 2,000,000,000 USD for its crimes. As a result, almost 40 Newdioceses and religious orders have gone bankrupt, and many Newdioceses have sold off up to two-thirds of their Newchurches to pay off the judgments. During the same period Newchurch religious orders have in addition paid out an estimated 35,000,000 USD, and four Newchurch religious orders have gone bankrupt. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Catholic World News.]
Traditional Catholics, these numbers are truly despicable. They describe a Newchurch of the New Order off the rails, which has been continuing for decades to suborn rape, sodomy, and other sexual assaults against children, principally under Newpopes Paul VI-Montini, JPII-Wojtyla, Benedict-Ratzinger, and Francis-Bergoglio. It seems that Christ's prescribed penalty of drowning by a millstone around the neck (Matthew 18:6) gets heavier and heavier year by year for these pretender Newpopes.
The embattled traditionalist-leaning Carmelite nuns of Arlington, Texas, have won yet another battle against Francis-Bergoglio and his henchman, the Arlington Newbishop Michael Olson. The courageous nuns are sticking to their habits and to their traditionalist ways. Bergoglio, who hates traditional-leaning religious, particularly Carmelites, because they are a dyed-in-the-wool contemplative order, has been trying to take over the property and funds of the Carmelite monastery., but the nuns have been fighting him and Bergoglio tooth and nail for a year now.
Olson has been slandering Mother Superior Teresa Agnes while she was being operated upon and was under anaesthesia and painkillers. This has been a tactic used against traditionalists since the Vatican II Anti-council (1962-1965), when nuns who refused to give up their traditional habits were taken to court and charged with mental incompetence. Then Bergoglio and Olson tried to expel Mother Superior Teresa Agnes and replace her with a Modernist sop.
On May 23, 2024, the nuns rose up and locked the gates in the face of the Bergoglio's replacement superior when she twice tried to enter the monastery premises. They similarly warned Olson that if he attempted to step onto monastery property, they would have him arrested for criminal trespass. The nuns are now rejecting all communications from the apostate Bergoglio and his Newchurch officials. The Carmelite nuns are reminiscent of the courageous Eastern-rite Syro-Malabars, who barred Bergoglio's Newarchbishop from entering the Newcathedral because Bergoglio wants to corrupt the Eastern rite, just as Bergoglio and his predecessors corrupted the Traditional Roman rite.
The traditionalist Carmelite nuns have denounced Bergoglio for his attempt at a "hostile takeover that we cannot in conscience accept." They charge Bergoglio with attempting to undermine "the integrity of our monastery as a community, threatening the vocations of individual nuns, our liturgical and spiritual life, and the material assets of the monastery" and perpetrating "unprecedented interference, intimidation, aggression, private and public humiliation and spiritual manipulation." The nuns have sued Olson in a million-dollar lawsuit for defamation. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Catholic World News.]
Traditional Catholics, it appears now that the traditionalist Carmelites may follow the example of the traditionalist Franciscan nuns of Spain, who have cut off the apostate Newpope Bergoglio and placed themselves under the authority of an independent Traditional Catholic bishop. The moral of this story for pretender Newpopes and their henchmen: "Don't tangle with traditionalist nuns!" Pop star Katie Perry lost to the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary when she attempted to buy their monastery out from under them through connivance with the Newarchbishop of Los Angeles. The Little Sisters of the Poor won their case before the United States Supreme Court -- twice. Now the Most Holy Trinity Carmelite nuns seem to be getting the upper hand by their uncompromising stance against a greedy pretender Newpope.
