St. Paul, Apostle to the Gentiles, taught: "Every woman praying ... with her head not covered disgraceth her head" (1 Corinthians 11:5/DRV). From this derives Canon Law 1262: "Viri in ecclesia vel extra ecclesiam, dum sacris ritibus assistunt, nudo capite sint...; mulieres autem, capite cooperto et modeste vestitae, maxime cum ad mensam Dominicam accedunt" (Men inside church or outside church, when they assist at the sacred rites, are to be with bare head...; women, however, with covered head and modesty dressed, especially when they approach for Holy Communion."
Even New Order presbyters notice the trend, which is contrary to the practice of Francis-Bergoglio's Newchurch. Presbyters glare at women who wear head coverings, even though Newchurch no longer has a Mass, but only a Protestant-Masonic-Pagan service like the Protestants. Orders for mantillas have skyrocketed over 300 per cent in recent years. Newchurch feels threatened by this trend, as its fakery has been crumbling, now some sixty years after the apostate Vatican II Anti-council (1962-1965). Presbyters often glare with hatred at such women, as they view it as a "doctrinal statement" against the New Order.
Traditional Catholic churches, chapels, and oratories, follow the Biblical dictum and canon law, but the Newchurch of the New Order, which is most certainly NOT the Catholic Church, officially rejected Scripture in 1983. Yet even some Newchurch women are beginning to obey the practice of the true Church through the centuries until the Vatican II Anti-council period and wear a mantilla, even though the New Order service of 1969 is not a Catholic Mass. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by The Free Press.]
Traditional Catholics, we always find these contretemps from the clueless Newchurchers amusing. Real (Traditional) Catholics never gave up the prescriptions of the Faith. In fact, the Catholic and Christian practice is actually meant to be an antipode to the Jewish practice, in which the men wear a kipah, and the women go bareheaded. Newchurchers apparently still want to ape the Jews, even though Jesus Christ rescinded the Old Covenant in favor of the fulfilment of New Covenant of God's grace.
For the third time in a row since the apostate Newpope Francis-Bergoglio's return to Newrome from his summer vacation, no American pilgrimage groups showed up for his Wednesday general audience, admitted L'Osservatore Romano, Newchurch's house organ, which listed groups attending from Europe and Africa, but not from any North, Central, or South American country, except Brazil. According to polls in America, Bergoglio's popularity has been plummeting.
At Bergoglio's general audiences on August 7, 21, and 28, no American pilgrimage groups showed up. The absence of groups from America for three consecutive audiences, let alone one, was admitted by Newvatican to be "unprecedented." [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Catholic World News.]
Traditional Catholics, it appears that the widely-circulated report that America is finally fed up with the pretender Newpope may well be true. America is continuing to be hit hard by Newchurch's continuing Great Sex & Embezzlement Holocaust, in which children have been and are continuing to be raped, sodomized, and otherwise sexually assaulted, many of whom eventually commit suicide. Now, following the lead of the TRADITIO Traditional Roman Catholic Network for many years, finally Bergoglio is being openly called a Marxist, even a Communist, by sectors of the American press. It appears that the once-vaunted "Francis Effect" may be moribund
One thing that you have to hand the apostate Newpope Francis-Bergoglio: he is determined to prosecute his goals, and he is open about those goals. One of those goals, already legislated in his decree 2021 "Traditionis custodes," is to shut down the New Latin Mess of 1962, which is certainly not the Traditional Latin Mass, nor even valid, as it is being celebrated not by priests, but by presbyters "installed," not "ordained," by unconsecrated Newbishops, who are no more valid than Lutheran or Anglican bishops -- all under the invalid (fake) 1968 Protestantized New Ordinal, which can make a valid priest or bishop of no man.
The shutdown of the New Latin Messes is proceeding ever more energetically. Most recent examples include the United States, Spain, and the only New Latin Mess in Finland. It is ironic that for thirty years the Finnish national broadcaster had been broadcasting a weekly summary of the news in Latin, "Nuntii Latini." In 2019 the broadcast was cancelled to a surprisingly great outcry by many Finns, whose native language is not Indo-European, and by listeners around the world, who accessed the broadcast by shortwave and internet. Their outcry managed to postpone the cancellation for two years.
The August 9, 2024, cancellation of the New Latin Mess in Helsinki's Newcathedral was ordered directly by Bergoglio's intimate henchman from Argentina, Newcardinal Victor Fernandez, whom Bergoglio appointed as Prefect of the Dicastery for the New Order Liturgy. You can be sure that Bergoglio's fingerprints are all over these closures. According to Bergoglio the Novus Ordo cathedral is supposed to be a "sign of unity," and the New Latin Mess followers don't fit that definition. The Mess will be moved from central Helsinki out to the boonies and resituated into a smaller ghastly Novus Ordo temple built "in the modern style" and with a Novus Ordo dinner table "in the round."
The Dicastery stated that St. Henry’s Newcathedral is a “model of the entire local church” and “a sign of unity,” and the New Latin Mess should, therefore, not be celebrated there anymore. According to Bergoglio's decree, the New Latin Mess cannot be simulated in Newchurch parishes. Only 57 Newparishes in the world were temporarily exempted as of two years ago, with exemptions expiring year by year. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by LS News.]
Traditional Catholics, Newvatican has announced that Newchurchers who attend the New Latin Mess are "unfaithful" to Newchurch, its Newpopes, and the Vatican II Anti-council. Of course, that statement is true. Whether they realize it or not, they should be unfaithful to the apostate Newchurch of the New Order, which is most certainly NOT the Catholic Church. So why don't these clueless Neocon Newchurchers get themselves out and go to a real, valid, fully Traditional Latin Mass (1950), offered by a real, valid Traditional Catholic priest, completely independent of Newchurch? Could it be that they aren't really true Catholics at all, but simply camp-followers of the Marxist/Modernist ruse?
Not since the Renaissance have we heard charges that popes murdered their opponents, but as Newchurch sinks further into the sewer of apostasy, this charge has once again been made against the Marxist/Modernist Newpope Francis-Bergoglio by his archenemy Newarchbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, who once served as his Nuncio to the United States of America.
It was there that Vigano became familiar with the nunciature's records proving that Bergoglio knew intimately of his Newcardinals and Newbishops who were committing acts of rape and sodomy against children and youth, the most prominent being his Newcardinal of Washington, D.C., the notorious paedophile Theodore McCarrick, whom Bergoglio continued to support long after his predations of children and young Newseminarians became public knowledge. McCarrick was given free rein because he had been an indispensable accomplice with Bergoglio in raising huge sums for Bergoglio's complicity in, and even direct commission, of crimes.
Unlike the sycophants who populate the Bergoglian regime, Vigano proclaimed the truth loud and clear about Bergoglio's personal paedophilia and apostasy, calling him publicly not only corrupt, but not even a Catholic, and therefore not a pope, according to Catholic theology. Vigano's courage prompted Bergoglio to "excommunicate" him on U.S. Independence Day, July 4, 2024, from the fake Newchurch of the New Order, which is most certainly NOT the Catholic Church. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the Crux News Service.]
Traditional Catholics, in a July 2024 interview with Il Messaggero, Italy's major daily newspaper, Vigano revealed that that he fears for his life at the hands of Bergoglio, who has not touched his Newcardinals and Newbishop who have denied defined truths of the Catholic faith. Vigano feared violent action from Bergoglio's secret police and went into hiding. Bergoglio had already tried to silence forcibly H.J.A. Sire, one of England's most respected historians, who wrote under the pseudonym Marcantonio Colonna 2018's blockbuster The Dictator Pope, exposing Bergoglio's dictatorial corruption and crimes. Bergoglio's attempt was foiled when Colonna's true identity became known.
On August 21, 2024, so-called "Catholic Charities," a crooked arm of Francis-Bergoglio's Newchurch, was again exposed for receiving almost one billion dollars since 2021 from the U.S. government and spending it on criminal activities, viz., bringing illegal invaders across the Mexican border -- and that amount was only what was given to the State of Texas. Many of the women and children involved have been sexually trafficked. There have been cases reported in which Newchurch presbyters (Newchurch has not ordained priests since 1968, just after the Vatican II Anti-council, but merely "installed presbyters" in an invalid Protestantized rite) were personally involved in sex crimes upon the women and children.
The apostate Newpope Francis-Bergoglio's corrupt Newchurch has circled the wagons to defend the crimes committed by the program that has resulted in rampant child-trafficking, deaths of many of the invaders, stealing jobs and wages and government services (hospitals, schools, etc.) from legal immigrants and native Americans, and admission of criminal and contagious illegals into the United States. The operation has also had the result of lowering wages, boosting rents, and spiking real estate prices. The United States government, currently headed by J.R. Biden, who describes himself as a "devout Catholic," is an open advocate of abortion and even infanticide. Many of the women and children illegal invaders, who are the victims of "Catholic Charities," are forced into abortions and prostitution.
Corrupt lobbyists for the U.S. Conference of Catholic (Sic) (New)bishops are also involved in this fraud, together with Leftist organs of the United Nations, such as UNICEF. The USCCB continues to deceive "Catholics" and continues to use massive donations from its deceived Newchurchers' collection plates to work against Catholic principles. Previously, such monies were used for disaster relief efforts and other legitimate ends. A June 2024 report found that 43 per cent of Newchurchers want less illegal invasion and are no longer willing to finance it. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Breitbart.]
Traditional Catholics, "Catholic Charities" has attracted the ire of the Texas Attorney General, who is prosecuting the organization for "openly operating in violation of the law without any pretense of trying to comply with the law." There is nothing "charitable" about this operation, and its lawlessness certainly isn't "Catholic." Even Canada to the north of the United States, headed by a lapsed Newchurcher, is also feeling the brunt.
Like many others, this Newchurch seminarian learned his lesson well from such corrupt paedophile Newprelates as the notorious Theodore McCarrick, quondam Newcardinal of Washington, D.C. Broderick Witt, of the Cincinnati, Ohio, Newarchdiocese, pled guilty on August 9, 2024, to eight counts of pandering pornography involving adult sexual assaults upon nude girls as young as six years old. Seven more counts were dropped in a plea deal. Witt is facing twelve years of severe penance in the Ohio State Penitentiary.
Witt was using the Newseminary's own computer to commit his crimes, even though the Newarchdiocese claimed to “have strict policies against, and take significant precautions to prevent, anyone from possessing or accessing material of this type, regardless of whether (he is) a student, faculty, or staff." Obviously, the policy was not being enforced.
The Newarchdiocese itself was so clueless that it had allowed Witt to "intern" at several Newparishes where he had access to children. The Newarchdiocese didn't report the crimes. Police were acting on a tip from a child victims' group. That group called Newchurch dirty: "Until we (if ever) clean it up, the (New)church is going to suffer, and children are going to suffer." [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the Cincinnati Inquirer.]
Traditional Catholics, any notion that Newchurch's Great Sex & Embezzlement Holocaust is over, or even dying down, is erroneous. Bergoglio's crew is still going hard at it, and now its filthy acts are flowing right on down into the next generation of Newchurch presbyters. Some recent articles have been reporting that these young seminarians, though still New Order heretics, are more "conservative.". Don't you believe it!
Neocon Newchurchers, who still play the sycophants to the apostate Newpope Francis-Bergoglio, were dealt a deathblow on August 15, 2024, when he appointed so many heretic auxiliary Newbishops for almost non-existent Newdioceses that Newchurch will be continue being apostate to the Catholic faith long after Bergoglio dies.
A case in point. Bergoglio appointed a first-ever auxiliary Newbishop for the Newdiocese of Kannur in India, near Calcutta. This Newdiocese was erected in 1998. It has 56,000 Newchurchers in it, which is not a large number by any account. India is the most populous country in the world, just nudging out Communist China, both having about 1,500,000,000 souls. Kannur comprises less than two percent of the population in the territory of this Newdiocese.
It is hard not to notice that Bergoglio is now appointing auxiliary Newbishops left, right and center, and not just by ones and twos, but by the dozens. He is literally filling Newchurch with them. These are largely Newprelates for regions of a Newdiocese. They serve essentially as vicars forane (deans), except that they claim to exercise Sacramental power to confirm children and participate in the phony "installations" of Newchurch presbyters (Newchurch has not ordained priests since 1968 when it adopted an invalid Protestantized New Ordinal).
One reason for the huge increase in auxiliaries is to stack the deck for future appointments. It is a way for Bergoglio to rule Newchurch long after his time as Newpope has ended. The next Newpope will find it just too easy to promote the auxiliaries to become full-fledged Newdiocesan Newbishops, as this requires far less effort than it does to find new Newdiocesan Newbishops. So the effect in general will be to extend the apostate policies and "charism" of Bergoglio for many Newpontificates to come. In 2025 the current Newchurch of the New Order is slated to become the openly pagan Synodal Church, which will be governed like the Anglican, Lutheran, Presbyterian lay synods.
Neocon Newchurchers who are waiting for Bergoglio to die and think that Newchurch will move back to the "merely" heretic Protestant organization that it was between 1964 and 2013 is kidding himself. Newchurch under Bergoglio is now firmly pagan and will continue to prove that fact in its ever more bizarre liturgical "performances," which partake of pagan idol worship, such as the "approved" Pachamama and Aztec Messes, and of various forms of witchcraft, such as the "approved" Congo Mess.
For those disappointed Neocon Newchurchers who thought that when Bergoglio dies, Newchurch will get back to anything remotely Catholic, the solution is simple: abandon Newchurch now and find a fully (1950) Traditional Latin Mass offered by a Traditional Catholic priest entirely independent of the apostate Newchurch.
Traditional Catholics know that the "New Mess" of 1969, which is the ordinary Mess of the apostate Newchurch of the New Order, founded in 1964 at the Vatican II Anti-council to replace the Catholic Church as the "institutional" Church, is a Protestant-Masonic-Pagan fraud and no Mass at all, having no sacrament quality, no grace, no eucharist. Those who set foot in a New Mess are committing Idolatry, a grave sin against the First Commandment of God, as they are worshipping a mere cookie and grape juice. Even the "New Latin Mess" of 1962 is invalid, as it is being celebrated not by priests, but by presbyters "installed," not "ordained," by unconsecrated Newbishops, who are no more valid than Lutheran or Anglican bishops, since Newchurch adopted in 1968 the invalid (fake), Protestantized New Ordinal, which can make a valid bishop of no man.
The Africans, who seem a bit brighter that American-European Newchurchers, seem to have figured this fact out. The African Newbishops of Nigeria, say that they are "angry" at their presbyters, who have turned the (fake) New Mess into "a private playground for personal innovation..., a stage for theatrics..., a venue for novelty. On August 16, 2024, the Newbishops condemned the "deviance" of their presbyters, which have caused open scandals within Newchurch. The New Mess is leading Newchurchers "astry," the Newbishops say. The fake eucharist (sic) is being manhandled. Vulgar music and dances are being used, the Newbishops say. Phony prayers are being made up out of whole cloth, the Newbishops say. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by CISA Information Service.]
Traditional Catholics, of course, the African Newbishops are just as guilty as the presbyters whom they condemn, because they too are using the fake New Mess. Essentially the same thing is going on in the Americas, Europe, and elsewhere. The "New Mess" is not a valid Catholic Mass; it is idolatry and blasphemy against Almighty God -- whether it be the vulgar-tongued Mess of 1969 or the Novus-Ordoized "New Latin Mess" of 1962.
We mustn't forget that Newchurch has perpetrated its Great Sex AND EMBEZZLEMENT Holocaust. Gross embezzlement of Newchurch funds, participated in from the Newpopes, Newcardinals, Newbishops, presbyters, and even Novus Ordo "nuns," continues unabated. On July 24, 2024, Newchurch's international charity Caritas has been fingered for a 67,200,000 USD embezzlement at its Luxembourg office.
Newcardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich has demanded an investigation into the multimillion-dollar scandal, which has already thrown a wet blanket over Francis-Bergoglio's September 2024 Newpapal junket to Luxembourg and Belgium. Hollerich was handpicked by Bergoglio to chair the infamous 2024 Synod to paganize Newchurch. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the National Catholic Register.]
Traditional Catholics, Newchurch is in a panic over this highly-publicized embezzlement. It has convened a "crisis committee" to figure out how the crimes were being committed right under Newchurch's nose. Francis-Bergoglio may even have to cancel his junket and slither back to his Newvatican Hilton with his tail between his legs.
Ireland, once one of the most Catholic of countries before the advent of the Newchurch, founded in 1964 at the Vatican II Anti-council and most certainly NOT the Catholic Church, has sunk into an unimaginable depravity, in which non-ordained Newchurch presbyters (Newchurch stopped ordaining priests in 1968 when it adopted a Protestantized New Ordinal) went on a paedophile rampage to rape, sodomize, and otherwise sexually assault children, even orphans, the deaf, and the blind.
Now the Newchurch of the New Order has earned the hatred of the Irish people, who have voted to legalize abortion and rejected a 2010 visit by the Second Paedophile Newpope, Benedict-Ratzinger, with death threats. In 2024, in the capital city of Dublin, so prolific before the Anti-council that it sent hordes of surplus priests to the United States and elsewhere, now has a single Newseminarian training to become a presbyter. Newparishes are merging out of existence and closing right and left.
Irish hatred of Newchurch and its Newpopes has reached an even higher pitch when it was revealed on July 24, 2024, that the First Paedophile Newpope "Unsaint" JPII-Wojtyla, the Second Paedophile Newpope, Benedict-Ratzinger, and the current Third Paedophile Newpope Francis-Bergoglio had for 32 years concealed the fact that famed Irish Newbishop Eamonn Casey had committed sex crimes against children in both England and Ireland. For years Casey appeared regularly on television. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by The Catholic Herald.]
Traditional Catholics, the traditional Catholic Irish vineyard, once so productive, has rotted on the vine since the Vatican II Anti-council. Newchurch is now known in Ireland only for "abuse, cruelty, and repression." The hatred of Irish Newchurchers has reached such a pitch that they have demanded the body of Casey to be disentombed and thrown out of the Dublin Newcathedral, which is now known as the "Temple of Evil," and Casey himself as "Satan."
Twice now Newpope Francis-Bergoglio has expressed his fear of sede-vacantists -- those who believe and even publicly state that he is a fake pope, i.e., not a pope at all, because of public apostasy -- and that therefore the Roman See is vacant (sedes vacat). That number includes now some Newcardinals and Newbishops. The latest expression of his fear of sede-vacantists occurred on August 9, 2024. In an interview with the Chinese (New)jesuit Press Office, released August 9, 2024, the apostate Newpope admitted knowing of at least 32 Traditional Catholic groups around the world that did not recognize him as pope (because of his apostasy).
Bergoglio indicated that he knew there are groups that recognize the popes only up to Pius XII. He seemed to indicate concern whether these groups and these increasing numbers of people would be "integrated" into the Newchurch of the New Order, soon to become his "Synodal Church." On March 13, 2024, Bergoglio had expressed fear to a Spanish review that sede-vacantists are springing up "like mushrooms everywhere."
Even Bergoglio himself has twice implied that he is not sure he is a pope. He expressed his doubts to the international press once on the Newpapal airplane returning from one of his multitudinous and expensive junkets. On another occasion, he indicated his doubts to Bernie Fellay, Superior Dictator, of the Neo-Society of St. Pius X. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Jesuit Press Office.]
Traditional Catholics, Francis-Bergoglio is more and more acknowledging that Traditional Catholics, who do not recognize him -- or his Newchurch predecessors: the Italian Marxist "Unsaint" Paul VI-Montini; the First Paedophile Newpope, JPII-Wojtyla; and the Second Paedophile Newpope, Modernist, and Nazi soldier, Benedict-Ratzinger. Independent Traditional Catholic priests and faithful are certainly hitting the mark with irresistible force, just as Our Lord Jesus Christ targeted the corrupt High Priest Caiphas and his henchmen with the fury of God.
On August 13, 2024, the Buffalo, New York, Newdiocese was the latest to turn infidel and sell out its churches to the infidel Islamists. St. Ann's Church is slated to become a mosque. It will not be the first such sacrilegious sale, nor will it be the last. Holy Mother of Rosary Cathedral and Queen of Peace Church have already bee converted into infidel mosques. Judas sold out his Lord for thirty pieces of silver (Roman denarii), the price of a slave. Newchurch is selling off its once-traditional Catholic St. Anne's Church to the infidels for 250,000 USD, almost twenty times Judas's perfidy.
Buffalo has been so swamped with judgments against to for its presbyters' sex crimes against children that it has already sold off its headquarters for 10,000,000 USD. It will pay off 100,000,000 to raped, sodomized, and otherwise sexually assaulted children with its remaining resources and then finish in bankruptcy, imposed by U.S. Federal District Court in 2020.
In addition to the children, the victims in Newchurch's Great Sex & Embezzlement Holocaust are the most historic traditional Catholic churches. St. Ann’s Church, built in 1886, was supposed to be saved, but eventually was to be destroyed by order of Newvatican's highest court, controlled by the apostate Newpope Francis-Bergoglio, to be liquidated for its real-estate value and bashed into smithereens and sold to the infidel Islamists, after it raped the sacred artifacts inside, probably to sell off for more filthy lucre.. So corrupt has been Newchurch that the courts have forced it to pay just recompense to all the children it has assaulted and continues to assault. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the National Catholic Register.]
Traditional Catholics, Traditional Catholic churches out there could put their bids to rescue the sacred objects inside St. Ann's Church, but they'd probably be out of luck. Newchurch hates you and would rather destroy historic churches or sell them off to infidels before they would consign them to Traditional Catholic organizations, which would care for them with great veneration. The Newchurch of the New Order, founded in 1964 at the Vatican II Anti-council to replace the Catholic Church as the "institutiional" Church, and its apostate Newpopes, are, after all, no better than barbarians and vandals. One could wish for a return to Renaissance times when the popes, if sometimes lacking in their personal morality, at least respected Catholic art and architecture and did everything that they could to maintain and advance it ad maiorem gloriam Dei.
Another one of Francis-Bergoglio's leading appointees, Newcardinal Gerhard Mueller, of Germany, who served as Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the (New Order) Faith from 2012 to 2017, has been fingered as an embezzler in a report that over 200,000 USD intended for the dicastery's bank account were embezzled into Muller's personal account. His term as prefect was not renewed, as is the custom, after his first five years because of the reported embezzlement.
Questions were also raised about Muller's disposal of valuable antique furniture belonging to Newvatican. In fact, several of Muller's financial actions have been raised as malfeasance, but Muller blew these off, just as he blew off the current charges of embezzlement. In his exit interview in 2017, five claims of malfeasance were raised. It may be that time has now caught up with Muller. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the National Catholic Register.]
Traditional Catholics, yet there is another interpretation possible here. Muller accused Bergoglio on November 7, 2023, of having committed "plenty of material heresies," which "would automatically deprive the pope [sic] of his office" according to the seminal Catholic theological principles enunciated by St. Robert Bellarmine, Confessor and Doctor of the Church. It is possible that this latest contretemps was engineered by Bergoglio to wreak vengeance upon Muller for joining other Newprelates in questioning Bergoglio's claim to the Newpapacy. Certainly Bergoglio is known for his vengeful actions against such church officials as, inter alios, Newbishop Athanasius Schneider, Newcardinal Ray "Bully" Burke, and especially Newarchbishop Carlo Vigano.
Francis-Bergoglio, not to speak of his Newpope predecessors Benedict-Ratzinger and JPII-Wojtyla, has let the immoral sewer of Newchurch's Great Sex & Embezzlement Holocaust get completely out of control, so far that his presbyters are now openly consorting in murder. Anthony Cipolle, one of Bergoglio's presbyters, has been outed as engaging in numerous felonies, both before and after his "installation" as a presbyter in 2017 (since 1968 Newchurch has not ordained priests, but uses the Protestantized New Ordinal of 1968 to "install" presbyters, who are like Protestant ministers). Now Cipolle has been adjudicated morally responsible for murder.
Cipolle's ill-starred career began before he was installed as a Newchurch presbyter in Portland, Maine. He impregnated a teenage girl and divorced her, after which he was charged with felony drug possession, assault, theft, insurance fraud, and attempted first-degree murder. In 2018, a year after he was "installed" by Newchurch as a presbyter, he "hooked up" with a married woman whom he was "counselling." The woman's brother-in-law didn't take kindly to her philandering and got into a fight with the presbyter. In the process, the woman was shot dead by her brother-in-law. The court held the presbyter morally responsible for the murder.
Later in 2018 another woman went to "Reconciliation" with him (1972 Newchurch did away with the Sacrament of Confession and substituted for it a fake non-sacrament of "Reconciliation." The presbyter told the woman that she had to "confess to him naked." As a result the woman took pills, drank a bottle of bourbon, and ingested bleach in a suicide attempt. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the Daily Mail.]
Traditional Catholics, how, you ask, did Newchurch ever let this multiple felon become a presbyter and foist him on clueless Newchurchers? He had a record of crime and instability even before he became a presbyter. The answer is obvious. The Newchurch of the New Order, which is most certainly NOT the Catholic Church is as corrupt as a sewer. No true Catholic can have anything to do with it -- not with its fake (invalid) Messes, not with its fake (invalid) presbyters and Newbishops, not with its fake (invalid) non-sacraments, not with its pigsty morality, and not with its apostate doctrine.
Facing more and more criticism around the world, Francis-Bergoglio has been publicly outed even by several Newcardinals and Newbishops as a pretender Newpope, an apostate from the Catholic Faith and a Marxist/Modernist, Now Bergoglio is being boycotted by rank-and-file American Newchurchers in a stunning show of opposition.
On August 7, 2024, Bergoglio held his first general audience since returning from vacation. Even L'Osservatore Romano, Newvatican's own official newspaper admitted its shock that for the first time in memory no American pilgrimage groups showed up for his general audience. The newspaper called it "unprecedented in recent decades." [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Catholic World News.]
Traditional Catholics, America in particular, along with Ireland, Germany, Poland, Australia, Canada, and many other countries, has been and is continuing to be hit hard by Newchurch's continuing Great Sex & Embezzlement Holocaust, in which children have been and are being raped, sodomized, and otherwise sexually assaulted, many of whom eventually commit suicide. According to polls in America and other countries, Bergoglio's popularity has been sinking fast.
Dear TRADITIO Fathers:
How should a traditional Catholic refer to himself: as just "Catholic" or "Roman Catholic" or some other term?
THE TRADITIO FATHERS REPLY.
In the past, either term would have been sufficient. However, today distinctions must be made because the "institutional" Church deceptively calls itself "Catholic." In reality, it has lost the Catholic Mass, the Catholic Sacraments, and the Catholic priesthood since the Vatican II Anti-council (1962-1965). It is most certainly NOT the Catholic Church, any more than the Lutheran sect is. It is rather a Protestant-Masonic-Pagan institution. Since 1968 it has only unordained presbyter-ministers like the Protestants and a Protestant service not a Mass. Therefore, it now must be called by a different name, as is the Lutheran sect: the Newchurch (of the New Order), Novus Ordo Church, Vatican II Church, Conciliar Church, or the like.
The true Catholic Church, which -- as it must by Catholic doctrine and by necessity -- operates independently of the Newchurch at many thousands of churches, chapels, and oratories around the world and maintains the traditional, bimillennial, true Catholic Mass, Sacraments, doctrine, and morals, is called the (Traditional) Catholic Church. Even though it is the true Catholic Church, the term "Traditional" is prefixed to "Catholic" to distinguish it unequivocally from the Newchurch of the New Order.
The term "Roman Catholic" may be used, as the true Catholic Church is the Church established at Rome for all time, where Sts. Peter & Paul were martyred. The true Church is also Roman because it derives from many of the traditions, Latin language, and laws of the ancient Romans, whom God enlightened in preparation for the coming of the Christ and who, from the time of the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great (r. 306-337), first recognized the Catholic Faith and spread it throughout the great Roman Empire, which encompassed most of the known world.
A new audit of Newvatican's finances released July 26, 2024, indicates continuing financial problems with bankruptcy in prospect because of seemingly irreversible long-term declines. Newvatican's Concilium de Rebus Oecumenicis (Council for the Economy) reported that Newvatican's annual operating deficit grew by 5,400,000 USD, leading to a 90,000,000 USD deficit in 2023, continuing the downward trend of recent years.
The bloom is definitely off the vaunted "sunshine" of the post Vatican II Anti-council period and is certainly off the apostate Newpope Francis-Bergoglio, whose popularity has sunk to an all-time low, which charges from leading Newprelates that Bergoglio has lost the Newpapacy by apostasy. So desperate has Newvatican's financial situation become that Bergoglio embezzled from the Peter's Pence Fund, which is supposed be spent on the most desperately poor, widows, and orphans, in order to pay Newvatican's daily operating expenses. The fund has sunk in value by 23 per cent in five years. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the Crux News Service.]
Traditional Catholics, Newvatican has also been awash in financial crimes. Bergoglio himself is the subject of a British court trial in the case of the 400,000,000 USD London real-estate scam, in which Newchurchers' charitable donations were embezzled. The audit shows that the fake Newchurch of the New Order is headed toward financial bankruptcy, just as it has long been bankrupt morally, doctrinally, sacramentally, and liturgically. Newchurch is most certainly NOT the Catholic Church and deserves to die as quickly as possible so that the true Catholic Church can be restored once again as the "institutional" Church.
Newchurch is hoping that you will forget its Great Sex & Embezzlement Holocaust. Yet every day another story comes forth of a paedophile Newcardinal, Newbishop, or presbyter committing a sexual crime against a child. The predations against children, whose lives are ruined by Newchurch clergy's sexual assaults upon them, continues unabated. Although the July 25, 2024, final report of the final report of New Zealand's Royal Commission of Inquiry into Abuse in Care covers government as well as religious institutions generally during the period, a significant part of the paedophile crimes involved clergy of the Newchurch of the New Order, founded in 1964 at the Vatican II Anti-council to replace the Catholic Church as the "institutional" Church.
200,000 children in care, or 30 per cent, were sexually assaulted during the seventy-year period of the study. Part 4 of the final report details cases of sexual predation perpetrated predominantly by Newchurch clergy. A particular focus of the report was the Order of Brothers Hospitallers of St. John of God. The Order operates hospitals and other child-care facilities not just in New Zealand, but in 50 countries.
In Australia, the crimes perpetrated by the Newchurch brothers were so severe that a Royal Commission, the highest authoritative Commission, was constituted and made its final report in 2017. The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse uncovered the fact that almost half (40 per cent) of the members of the Order had paedophile crimes charged against them during the sixty years of the study.

Traditional Catholics, it is crystal clear by now that the Newchuch of the New Order and its Newpopes, Paul VI-Montini, JPII-Wojtyla, Benedict-Ratzinger, and Francis-Bergoglio have had no interest in stopping Newchurch's Great Sex & Embezzlement Holocaust. Wojtla and Ratzinger knowingly allowed many thousands of paedophile Newclergy to get away with their crimes, and Bergoglio's record is even worse. He effectively does nothing, while he lets his high Newclergy, like arch-paedophile Newcardinal Theodore McCarrick, off with a slap on the wrist. Now we know why. Newarchbishop Carlo Vigano has courageously published reports that Bergoglio himself has been involved in these crimes. It all makes sense.
The prattle goes on, together with the feigned outrage by Newchurch's pseudo-bishops, about the "Last Supper" parody or "Banquet of Dionysus" tableau at the opening of the Paris Modern Olympics on July 26, 2024. Who cares? The Modern Olympics, particularly in the last few years, are a travesty of the real Olympics that were staged at Olympia in ancient Greece. After all, these are the same unconsecrated Newchurch pseudo-bishops who commit blasphemy, sacrilege, and idolatry every day by simulating the Protestant-Masonic-Pagan New Mess of 1969, which is fake (invalid) and vilely spits in the face of Christ.
Was all this folderol about the parody/tableaux just a misdirection from the real story of Paris 2024: the desecration of the Cathedrale de Notre-Dame de Paris? On April 15, 2019, the 12th-century cathedral masterpiece was gutted by fire. Some initial accounts indicate that the fire was set by an official of the Newchurch of the New Order.
French President Emmanuel Macron lied to the French people and the world by stating that the cathedral would be restored to its original splendor. He mendaciously collected funds from around the world for that purpose. The blasphemy has now been unveiled for the Olympics. Now the magnificent mediaeval cathedral, "modernized" out of all recognition with a ghastly Novus Ordo eucharistic dinner table plopped into the nave, is completely out of sync with Catholic sacred art.
The once-magnificent cathedral has been turned by by the apostate Newchurcher Macron and officials of Francis-Bergoglio's Newchurch into a sterile, pagan accoutrement representative of the Marxist/Modernist/Pagan New "Synodal Church" that Bergoglio is founding in 2025 to replace the current Protestant-Masonic Newchurch of the New Order, founded in 1964 at the Vatican II Anti-council. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by The Catholic Thing.]
Traditional Catholics, the 2024 Paris Olympics have already been drowned in scandal: not only with the parody/tableau but also with biological men entering as women into the boxing competition and punching out the women; and with athletes tattooed up the kazoo, looking the pagans they are, some of them even blasphemously sporting crucifixes around their neck like voodoo talismans. Meanwhile, French President Macron and his henchmen in Newchurch have pulled one over on the French people and all lovers of true Catholic art by blasphemously gutting the historic Notre-Dame Cathedral into a sterile Novus Ordo propaganda tool. France long ago gave up the title "eldest daughter of the Church" and its haughty boast of leadership in the fine arts. Instead, France has returned to being merely the same barbarian Gauls whom the great Roman Julius Caesar conquered and civilized.
Ever the purveyor of propaganda and disinformation, the apostate Newpope Francis-Bergoglio is being roundly condemned for censoring off a Newvatican web site the results of a poll showing that his "Synodal Church" has bombed. The Synodal Church, which is to replace the Newchurch of the New Order in 2025, is based on outright Paganism, heretical Indifferentism and Syncretism, Femininsm, and Homosexualization.
But even most Newchurchers want nothing of the Synodal Church after the final session of Bergoglio's Great Synod on Synodality in October 2024. The poll was released onto the Newvatican web site on July 26, 2024, and asked whether respondents "believed in synodality." 88 per cent responded NO! 7,780 Newchurchers responded to the poll in a 24-hour period. The following day Bergoglio had the embarrassing results removed, as he is pushing his Synodal Church to become the next stage in the Modernist/Maxist revolution in Newchurch, which replaced the Catholic Church as the "institutional" Church in 1964 at the Vatican II Anti-council. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by National Catholic Register.]
Traditional Catholics, one respondent summed up the apostate Bergoglio's hypocrisy by writing: "The Synod(al) Church wants to hear from you -- until and unless you tell them something they don’t want to hear." Bergoglio incessantly orders Newchurchers to listen to every perverted opinion, but he himself listens only to what he wants to hear. If you are not a Modernist/Marxist apostate like him, he doesn't want to hear from YOU.
Even Francis-Bergoglio's effusive praise in a November 2023 address to Newchurchers was of no use. A tape recordings of a telephone conversation proved that Newbishop Rosario Gisana was guilty as sin. An Italian court, in a 222-page verdict, found that he had "clearly failed to take any serious necessary initiative to protect the minors of his community and their parents, despite having specific powers conferred within the scope of his function to protect the faithful, facilitating the predatory activity of a priest who had already been reported."
Gisana admitted in the telephone conversation that he had "buried" (covered up) the charges against a religion teacher, who was convicted of sexual violence against children from 2009 to 2013 and sentenced to some five years in prison. Gisana tried to take the heat off the situation by transferring the teacher to a far-away Newdiocese and even assigned him to teach children there.
Gisana tried to palm off the crimes onto his predecessor, but that predecessor pointed the finger right back at Gisana. The case was significant because it marked the first time an Italian prosecutor's office had held a Newchurch diocese guilty.

Traditional Catholics, Francis-Bergoglio has never truly cared about children assaulted by his paedophile presbyters and Newbishops. His Newpontifical Commission on the Protection of Minors, established for political purposes in 2016 to turn aside the virulent criticism against him, has done hardly anything but put up a useless web page. Most of the Commission members have resigned in disgust. Meanwhile, Newchurch children continue to be raped, sodomized, and otherwise sexually assaulted without ceasing.
On July 24, 2024, the U.S. Conference of Catholic (Sic) Bishops reported that as of the end of 2023, the vast majority of Newchurch's U.S. religious are retiring and dying off with no one to replace them. 22,002 (78 per cent) of Newchurch's 38,324 religious are now at retirement age. This leaves fewer than one-quarter to service all Newchurch functions.
The Newchurch of the New Order has become so unpopular that very few men and women are entering religious others; very few Franciscans, Dominicans, Benedictines, Jesuits remain. Most of the smaller orders have disappeared entirely in the aftermath of the Vatican II Anti-council (1962-1965). In 1985 there were 108,320 religious. That number has now dropped by three-quarters (74 per cent), to the lowest number, 28,324, with projections showing a continuing downward plummet. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Catholic World News.]
Traditional Catholics, another interesting fact that came out of the USCCB report is that religious men are leaving Newchurch in droves. Men now make up not even one-third (32 per cent) of Newchurch religious. These figures demonstrated how Newchurch after Vatican II became feminized, not to say lesbianized. And Francis-Bergoglio is deliberately accelerating that process, publicly blessing homosexuals, lesbians, and transsexuals.
The illegal drug, crystal methampetamine, is now being sold out of local Newchurch rectories. This synthetic stimulant produces psychosis in the user exhibited as paranoia, hallucinations, and delusions, which persist even after the drug is stopped. Users of the drug can become violent, engaging in assaults, murders, and even terrorist acts. The drug gradually destroys the heart muscle and produces heart attacks and stroke and can lead to debilitating Parkinson's Disease.
The State Criminal Police Office conducted a raid on the Newchurch rectory and found chemicals and laboratory equipment, for manufacturing the illegal drugs. A 38-year-old Newchurch Austrian presbyter-pastor was caught manufacturing the deadly drug for sale, likely to his vulnerable Newparishioners. He was working with a 30-year-old "server." Both are now in jail pending sentencing. Police investigations are ongoing to determine how many other Newchurch rectories are being used as illegal drug-production centers.

Traditional Catholics, as if Newchurch's continuing Great Sex & Embezzlement Holocaust weren't bad enough, now Newchurch officials are supplementing their pervasive crimes of rape and sodomy with the manufacture and sale of illegal drugs. We know that many Newchurch dioceses are going bankrupt, but this is ridiculous. It seems that Newchurch is sinking faster and faster into Hell, while the fake (invalid unordained and unconsecrated) Newpopes, Newcardinals, Newbishops, and presbyters twiddle their thumbs doing essentially nothing but prattle or, worse, even participate directly in the crimes themselves. Isn't there some saying about "fiddling while Rome burns"?
On July 24, 2024, Newchurch admitted that it had installed fake Newdeacons. Of course, since adopting the Protestantized New Ordinal of 1968, none of Newchurch's deacons, presbyters, and bishops are being ordained. Instead, they are being merely "installed" like Protestant clergy with no sacramental power at all.
Now even Newchurch has admitted the fact that it has "installed" fake (invalid) Newdeacons of the Paraclete Missionaries, supposedly a religious institute of Newdiocesan right. The Newdiocese of Lokoja admitted that it had "installed" four Newseminarians with false credentials. Who knows how many other similar frauds have been perpetrated in the Newchurch. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Catholic Information Service.]
Traditional Catholics, the Newchurch of the New Order is so full of fraud, hypocrisy, and outright lies, that it can be trusted in nothing. It lies that it has a Mass, but in fact it is a Protestant-Masonic-Pagan worship service of no sacramental value at all. It allows the lie that it has a priesthood, but in fact its "priests" are officially called "presbyters" and are not ordained, but merely "installed" in a Protestantized rite to function like Protestant ministers, having no sacramental power at all. Newchurch is thus has no power to impart sacramental grace.
Let's first set the context. The Modern Olympics is a farce, and it gets worse every four years. It has become an obscenely-expensive extravaganza to showcase perverted elements in society (the "sport" of women's beach volleyball this year was performed almost in the nude), to enrich the pockets of Madison Avenue advertising corporations, and to provide an entree into professional sports. The Olympics have not been amateur since 1992, when it began to worship the pagan god of commercial and professional sports. It is time to return to the ancient Greek form of primarily track and field (no ping pong!) and a few related activities, spend as little money as possible, and wrap everything up within a week.
As far as the tranvestite "Last Supper" parody is concerned, all those unconsecrated Newbishops and unordained presbyters are flapping their jaws across the internet against the blasphemous parody. Yet these Newchurch bishops and presbyters are completely in the tank to the blasphemous, sacrilegious, idolatrous Newchurch of the New Order, which is most certainly NOT the Catholic Church, in 2025 to become Francis-Bergoglio's overtly pagan "Synodal Church."
Just think of it. Every Sunday, in every Novus Ordo "temple" around the world, far more offense against God is perpetrated by the blasphemous, sacrilegious, idolatrous fake "New Mess, steeped in Protestant heresy, Freemasonic subversion, and Pagan madness than once by a few perverted crazies at the Olympics. The apostate Newpopes Paul VI-Montini, JPII-Wojtya, Benedictd-Ratzinger, and Francis-Bergoglio are not crazy. They are perpetrating their liturgical, doctrinal, and moral crimes against Christ and His Church in cold blood. Unsurprisingly, Bergoglio, who waxes loquacious on every subject under the sun but the true Catholic religion, has remained silent on this scandal, just as he did from the outset on Newchurch's Great Sex & Embezzlement Holocaust.
Or all the Olympiad hoopla may just be a setup by Newchurch bishops and others to get more hits on YouTube and Google for political purposes. Even before any announcement by the Paris officials, we TRADITIO Fathers immediately thought that the so-called parody looked more like an ancient Greek Olympiad tableau, with a figure of Dionysus, the Greco-Roman Olympian god of wine and merriment, in the front, albeit with more perversion added. Frankly, we don't think that the idea of the Last Supper even entered the minds of these pagans. They know Dionysus, not Christ.
Michelangelo and other Renaissance artists used this theme. Moreover, it turns out that Dionysus anciently was the Greco-Roman god associated with the Seine River that flows past Paris. Or maybe it was just gross ignorance on the part of Newchurch bishops and others, who have been cut off after the Vatican II Anti-council from the 2,000-year tradition of a Catholic Greek and Latin classical education.

Traditional Catholics, the blasphemous, sacrilegious, idolatrous "New Mess" and its associated Protestant-Masonic-Pagan rites, together with the fake Newchurch bishops and presbyters who "perform" them, are a crime against the First Commandment of God. They should be tossed out on their heels as did the real Saints of the Church like St. Augustine, St. Ambrose, St. Martin, and St. Basil, and the true Catholic Faith restored, as it certainly will all in Christ's good time.
