Kontretemps in Kansas City over a Fake "Eucharist"
Which Is More Fake: a Novus Ordo Cookie or a Satanic Cookie?

From: The TRADITIO Fathers
CAPTION

Caught in the Act!
The Fake Newpopes Routinely Hand Out
The Unconsecrated Novus Ordo Cookie
From a Fake Novus Ordo Mess
Into Filthy Hands
This Sacrilege, Blasphemy, and Idolatry
Condemned by True Popes since the 2nd Century
Is No More Valid than a Cookie from a Satanic Rite
Fake Is Fake
Or, as Francis-Bergoglio Assures Us:
Some of My Best Friends Are Atheists

These days it's hard to tell the bad guys from the good guys. In fact, it seems that the good guys are really bad guys who are wolves in sheep's clothing. Just like the hypocritical Scribes and Pharisees of the Jewish Temple in Our Lord's time. Just like the apostate leaders of the Newchurch of the New Order today.

It seems that the Newarchbishop of Kansas City, Kansas, one Joe Naumann, got his cassock in a wad when he claimed that some Satanists bought a Novus Ordo cookie on eBay. Well, at least the Satanists might have thought it was a "eucharist." Naumann doesn't -- not really. He doesn't genuflect to it at his Protestant-Masonic-Pagan New Order service. He places it into filthy hands, which then gobble it up with a swig of the Kool-Aid. Every pope since the second century condemned that practice as sacrilege and blasphemy -- until the first pretender Newpope "Unsaint" Paul VI-Montini, the implementer of the Newchurch of the New Order in 1964.

Now it turns out that Naumann sent himself into a tizzy for no reason. The cookie came from another source -- Nabisco perhaps?! On March 21, 2025, he withdraw his silly lawsuit. But the question lingers about who is more Satanic: the Newchurch, which fakes cookie and Kool-Aid as "eucharist" (no definite article, no capital letter) at a "Fake Mess" or the Satanists, who offer it at a fake "Black Mess"? At least the Satanists are honest about what they're doing -- which is more than can be said about Naumann and his Newchurch apostates. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the Catholic News Agency.]

Traditional Catholics, the Satanist hit the nail on the head when he replied: "I find it very entertaining that [Naumann] is convinced that I have Jesus trapped in a cracker, and he would take it to court." He's right. The object is merely a Novus Ordo cracker. The Newarchbishop has never been ordained as a Catholic priest, merely installed under the Protestantized New Ordinal of 1968. He does not say a True Mass, but the fake Protestant-Masonic-Pagan service of 1969, which couldn't produce a "eucharist" if Naumann stood on his head. And we have the consolation of Francis-Bergoglio assuring us that atheists are his best friends!

Israel Is Waging a Tax War against Christian Churches
And Is Starting to Auction off the Church Properties to Pay Their Tax Debts

From: The TRADITIO Fathers
Israeli Melee

A Melee Erupts in Jerusalem
As Israelis Openly Spit on Christians
The Israeli Government Has a Record
Of Hating Christians, Many of Whom
Are Routinely Spat Upon in the Streets
Yet the Christians Liberally Fund Israel
With Donations and Tourism
The Israeli Government Wishes to Reduce
The Christian Presence in the Holy Land

On March 13, 2025, the Israeli Government has threatened to close Christian churches because they have not paid municipal tax debts. The contretemps has been going on since 1994 and involves churches affiliated with the Newchurch Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, the Greek Orthodox, and Protestants. At one point the Evangelical Christians were so irate against the Israeli Government, which the Evangelicals fund liberally, that they threatened to cut off their substantial donations if the Israeli Government didn't come to heel. Only then, faced with a cutoff of donations and worldwide opprobrium, did the Israel Government relent.

But now the Israeli Government is persecuting Christians again, biting the hand that feeds them, as it were. The Latin Patriarch claimed that if the Israeli Government imposed the tax, all the Christian churches would go bankrupt. The Newpopes have been impotent in negotiations with the Israeli Government. These started in 1994 and were to have been completed in 1996, but it is now 30 years later, and no agreement has been reached. The Christian churches owe millions of shekels (an Israeli shekel is worth almost one-third of a U.S. dollar) in overdue rent. In Jerusalem alone there are four cases filed by the Israeli Government against Newchurch institutions, with more in other parts of Israel. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Catholic World News.]

Traditional Catholics, the Israeli Government has a record of hating Christians, many of whom, particularly clergy, are routinely spat upon in the streets. The Israeli Government wishes to reduce the Christian presence in the Holy Land. Yet the Christians provide a substantial amount of money to the Israeli Government in donations and tourism, and that government is constantly bombarding the West with plaintive cries to shell out more and more money to prop up Israel. It seems well past time for Christians to do to Israel what U.S. President Donald Trump has done to deadbeat countries in NATO by cutting off their funding. Westerners also need to reconsider any plans to travel to the Mid- East.

An Apostate Irish Newbishop Tries to Smear the Late Traditional Catholic Bishop
Richard Williamson, Who even from the Grave Still Puts the Fear of God into Newchurch's Fake Clergy

From: The TRADITIO Fathers
Donal McKeown

I Misspoke Myself
Mugs Irish Newbishop Donal McKeown
Traditional Catholic Bishop Richard Williamson
Was in Reality Completely Valid
But I Myself Was Never Ordained or Consecrated
The Force of Bishop Williamson
Who Passed away on January 29, 2025
Is So Powerful that from the Grave
He Puts the Fear of God
Into the Invalid and Apostate
Clergy of the Newchurch of the New Order

The apostate Newbishop of Derry, Ireland, Donal McKeown, is so ignorant that he has forgotten his Latin, if he ever learned the Catholic Church's eternal language (even Pope John XXIII confirmed this status from Tradition in his 1962 Apostolic Constitution "Veterum sapientia"): De mortuis nisi bonum. McKeown couldn't wait even two months to dishonor the respected Traditional Catholic Bishop Richard Williamson, who passed to eternity on January 29, 2025.

Williamson was associated with only a few Traditional Catholic groups, none of them in Ireland, yet even so his voice must have been so loud that he put the fear of God into the apostate Newchurch of a country with which he was not even associated. Williamson's headquarters were near Canterbury in southwest England, about 100 kilometers from London.

Yet McKeown has warned Irish Newchurchers against the dead bishop, whom he must fear will come back from the grave to haunt their apostasy. In fact, Irish Newchurchers have been leaving Newchurch in droves, sick of their paedophile criminal presbyters and Newbishops that have sodomized, raped, and otherwise sexually assaulted Irish children, including deaf and blind orphans -- and continue to do so. You see, Newchurch's Great Sex & Embezzlement Holocaust continues unabated in Ireland, just as it does around the world, suborned by the three complicit paedophiliac Newpopes Unsaint JPII-Wojtyla, Benedict-Ratzinger, and Francis-Bergoglio. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Catholic World News.]

Traditional Catholics, the apostate Newbishop McKeown had to admit that Bishop Williamson and his associates were true priests and bishops and that their Sacraments were entirely valid. That is more than he can say for himself, as McKeown was never ordained as a Catholic priest, but merely "installed" as a presbyter-minister in 1977, nor was he ever consecrated as a Catholic Bishop, but merely "installed" as a Newbishop-Overseer in 2001, both under the invalid (fake) Protestantized New Ordinal of 1968. He is no more a valid bishop than the Anglican Archbishop of Canterbury.

A Reader Asks: "Which Account Is True: Was King Henry VIII of England a Thief
Or a Devout Catholic and Defender of the Faith?"

From: Michael
King Henry VIII

King Henry VIII of England
Started out as a Devout Catholic
Declared by Pope Leo X
To Be a Defender of the Faith
For His Book against Heretic Lutheranism
But, in His Later Years
He Left the Influence of St. Thomas More
And Took up with the Virulent
Protestant Heretic Anne Boleyn

Dear TRADITIO Fathers.

I have heard conflicting things about King Henry VIII of England. On the one hand, he is said to have taken control of the funds of the Catholic monasteries for himself, but on the other hand, he is said to have been a devout Catholic and defender of the Faith. Could you please clear things up for me?

THE TRADITIO FATHERS REPLY.

There were signs that in his earlier years, particularly when he was the influence of St. Thomas More, Henry VIII was a devout Catholic. Notably, he published in 1521 a defense of the Seven Sacraments, Assertio Semptem Sacramentorum against the Arch-heretic Martin Luther and was titled Defensor Fidei by Pope Leo X. More was thought instrumental in guiding that work.

Things began to fall apart in 1527, when Henry attempted to put away his legitimate wife, a devout Catholic and courageous woman, Catherine in favor of the virulent Protestant heretic Anne Boleyn. He died an excommunicate, debased in both body and soul, with dogs lapping up the blood flowing from his coffin (his body was so corpulent that it had to be stuffed in; some say it exploded in the coffin), just as his Catholic Lenten preacher had warned him (whom Henry later murdered).

If you wish to read more on this era, we can recommend Hilaire Belloc's The Characters of the Reformation, (1936) a pithy and eminently readible account from Britain's eminent Catholic historian. For a powerful play based upon these events, we highly recommend Robert Bolt's "A Man for All Seasons," later made into the outstanding 1966 film starring the brilliant Paul Scofield as St. Thomas More.

Newchurch Population in the United States Falls below 20 per Cent
Even that Number Is Highly Inflated, as Newchurch Continues Its Descent to Hell

From: The TRADITIO Fathers
Religion in the United States

The Latest Pew Research Center Study
Shows Christianity in the United States Sinking
But the Newchurch of the New Order
Sinking even More, Now to below 20 per Cent
The Vatican II Anti-council (1962-1965)
Had a Devastating Effect
The True Catholic Church Went into the Catacombs
Just as Pope Pius XII Had Predicted
And the Anti-Catholic Newchurch of the New Order
Is Now Crashing and Burning to Hell

The highly-respected Pew Research Center has been conducting religious surveys since 2004. It surveyed in its Religious Landscape Study more than 35,000 Americans in 2004, 2014, and, as announced on March 18, 2025, 2023-2024. It will not be a surprise to anyone that in our increasingly secularized and paganized society, the percentage of Christians as a whole has precipitously fallen 15 per cent in less than two decades.

Whereas before the Vatican II Anti-council (1962-1965), the number of Christians was over 80 per cent, now only 63 per cent of adults identify as Christians. The Newchurch percentage has fallen to just 19 per cent, as compared to 44 per cent for Protestants. It is a sobering fact since the Anti-council nearly one-third of Americans have become "nones," i.e., they have no religious affiliation at all. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by ZeroHedge.]

Traditional Catholics, the situation is actually worse. The problem with religion statistics is that they are based not by objective criteria, but only subjectively, by how a person "identifies." It is well known that for these surveys people are shamed into claiming that they are, e.g., Newchurchers, whereas they may not even have been initiated (formerly, baptized) in Newchurch or may not have seen the inside of a Newchurch in sixty years -- if ever. What would be truly revealing is a study of the "practicing" Christians, e.g., those who attend a service at least once a month. Those numbers, for Newchurch, have been estimated to be not even 5 per cent, about the number of Anglicans left in Great Britain.

After Newvatican Perpetrated a Holy Land Collection Scam to Fund Islamic Regimes
Newvatican Is Now Trying to Pilfer Local Newparishes' Collections into Newvatican's Own Coffers

From: The TRADITIO Fathers

Newvatican Has Revealed
That It Is Raising Funds
For the Islamic World
Under the Banner of a "Holy Land" Collection
Many of These Countries Are Hostile
To Christian Civilization
Even Newchurchers Are Beginning to Smell the Rat
The Collection Plummeted
By 25 per Cent from 2022 to 2023
So Newvatican Is Now Trying to Pilfer
Local Newparishes' Collections
Into Its Own Coffers

As we reported in 2024 in these Daily Commentaries, Newvatican has been supporting Islamic regimes, several of which have been warring against Christian Civilization. But even the Newchurchers are beginning to smell the rat. Under the monicker of contributions to the Holy Land, Newchurch has been raising funds for Jerusalem, Palestine, Israel, Jordan, Cyprus, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Turkey, Iran and Iraq. Most of these countries are openly hostile to Christian Civilization.

Much of the annual Pro Terra Sancta "Collection for Christians in the Holy Land," as the Newvatican report itself admits, goes to non-Christians, in fact to Islamists. As just one example from the report, Newvatican spends over half a million dollars to Bethlehem University to train Palestinean Muslims and spends over one million dollars on a "Secretariat of Solidarity" with Islamists. On March 8, 2024, Newvatican's Dicastery for the Eastern Church reported that it had collected over 7,000,000 USD in 2023 for these countries, but that that number was down over 25 per cent from the over 9,000,000 USD collected in 2022.

Now, one year later, because of the shortfall in the Holy Land Collection and its own impending bankruptcy, Newchurch has become so desperate that it has sunk to pilfering the money collected in local Newparish collections for the same purpose. Newvatican wants all the collections for itself. In similar fashion, several autocratic Newbishops, as in Washington, D.C., have been confiscating local Newparish collections to beef up their own coffers. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the National Catholic Register.]

Traditional Catholics, Newvatican's Dicastery for the Eastern Churches has disparaged local Newparishes' collections for similar purposes. Francis-Bergoglio wants all the money collected in the Good Friday Collection to be transferred to the corrupt Newvatican Bank under the pretender Newpope Bergoglio's direct control. The Cardinal-prefect of the Newvatican Dicastery ordered on March 18, 2025: "Everything you have collected should be sent directly to this dicastery by the commissariats." Jawohl!

After the Paedophiliac Newpopes Unsaint JPII-Wojtyla, Benedict-Ratzinger, and Francis-Bergoglio turned a blind eye to the Neocon Legionaries of Christ (Regnum Christi) and its notorious paedophile founder Marcial Maciel, it seems that the Legionaries were not shut down by the fake Newpopes, but are still operating in the same immoral and criminal fashion. Maciel was eventually charged with raping at least sixty children, most between the ages of 11 and 16.

In Spain the Legionaries have stoked a yet another public scandal by raping five schoolgirls. Newchurch presbyter Andres Nunes, Maciel's secretary, was arrested on March 6, 2025, for raping the schoolgirls at the school where he posed as chaplain. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the National Catholic Register.]

Traditional Catholics, the pretender Newpopes Francis-Bergoglio and Benedict-Ratzinger knew that Marciel Marciel, head of the Legionaries of Christ (Regnum Christ) was a sexual predator of men and women, boys and girls, in his travels around the world for the Unsaint "Mother" Teresa and her Missionaries of Charity. Even when Teresa was informed that Maciel was a sexual predator, she still praised him as one of the "best presbyters she had ever known" and appointed him as confessor to her missionary sisters. Clearly, the Newchurch of the New Order and its Newpopes are a fraud and most certainly NOT the Catholic Church. Thus, Newchurch's Great Sex & Embezzlement Holocaust continues unabated.

Francis-Bergoglio Will Not Abdicate and Instead Calls for a "Vatican III" Anti-council
More Restrictions on New Latin Mess of 1962 May also Be in the Offing

The Invalid (Fake) Novus Ordo Mess
He Remains a Committed Apostate
From the Catholic Faith

Newvatican Secretary of State Pietro Parolin has announced that Francis-Bergoglio is "absolutely not" abdicating. In fact, On March 16, 2025, Bergoglio simulated an invalid (fake) Protestant-Masonic-Pagan New Mess by "con"-celebrating it with other unordained Novus Ordo clergy in his hospital chapel.at Gemelli Polyclinic. At the same time reports were circulating that his crackdown on the Vatican II Anti-council's New Latin Mess of 1962. formerly called by Newchurch "Extraordinary," would be expanded with full fervor.

Simultaneously, Bergoglio continued his programme to replace the Newchurch of the New Order with his Synodal Newchurch of the New Age, convoking what has been termed "Vatican III." for 2028. His latest "synodal" reforms, to be implemented over the next triennium by giving women top positions in running his Synodal Newchurch and installing women as deaconesses, which two of his own theological commissions concluded violated Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition, the two fonts upon which the true Catholic Church is founded.

Bergoglio has announced that his deconstructed sect will culminate in an "Ecclesial Assembly," which some are already calling "Vatican III," in October 2028, modeled after the Protestants heretics. Bergoglio is truly demented. His Novus Ordo seminary training by the Marxist/Modernist Newjesuits is known to be defective and heretical. He obviously has forgotten what happened to the Protestant Revolutionaries, like the Arch-heretic Martin Luther.

At the present time the Protestant sects are breaking up into factions, all rejecting Christian doctrine in various ways. The Methodists, Presbyterians, Anglican/Episcopalians, and Congregationalists are in 2025-2025 engaged in a civil war between "conservatives" and "leftists" within their own sects. Congregations are breaking up. Nobody agrees on what Christian doctrine is. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by MSN News.]

Traditional Catholics, the Newchurch of the New Order, now Bergoglio's Synodal Newchurch of the New Age, has totally aped the apostate Protestants. It may well be that the Lord has planted in Bergoglio's doddering head the seeds of the destruction of the apostate Newchurch, in order that the true Catholic Church, which, for the better part of a century, has been courageously maintained in thousands of independent churches, chapels, and oratories throughout the world, can return to re-establish the indefectible one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church If there was ever any doubt that Bergoglio is a pretender Newpope and that his Synodal Newchurch is most certainly NOT the Catholic Church, the final nail is even now being driven into the coffin of the apostate Newchurch.

To U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance
To Start a RICO Investigation
(Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization)
Against the U.S. Conference
Of Catholic [Sic] (New)bishops

Francis-Bergoglio can sure pick them. He appointed Newcardinal Robert McElroy to move from San Diego, California, to Washington, D.C., in spite of the fact that he has been charged as complicit in the cover-up of the rape of female Newchurchers. As McElroy's Novus Ordo "installation" was going on March 11, 2025, his women victims and their supporters were protesting in front of and inside the polluted National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.

The Newchurch female victims are calling upon the United States government to initiate a RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization) investigation against the U.S. Conference of Catholic [Sic] (New)bishops. The women are particularly appealing to newly-elected U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance, who, although a Newchurcher, has publicly denounced the USCCB for illegal activity. As a result of Vance's denunciation, the USCCB has been cut off from federal funding and has to shut down a large number of its corrupt operations, such as those associated with so-called Catholic Charities to the tune of 100,000,000 USD.

McElroy's associate, presbyter Jacob Bertrand, was found guilty in criminal court of "satanic ritual abuse" crimes. One of the female victims stated that McElroy was criminally complicit in covering up her ritual rape, saying that he was an "unmitigated disaster." She said that the American Newchurch bishops can't stop the crimes because they themselves are complicit in them. "The enemy is within the (New)church," she said. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by LS News.]

Traditional Catholics, it is not surprising that Robert McElroy himself has a long record of promoting sodomy, lesbianism, and other sexual perversions, while essentially supporting abortion. These victims don't realize that they are being taken far more than they realize. The Synodal Newchurch of the New Order is not only corrupt and incorrigible; it is a fraud. It is no more the Catholic Church than is Luther's sect. There are thousands of truly Catholic churches, chapels, and oratories, but they are independent of the Newchurch of the New Order. They are listed in the Official Traditional Catholic Directory, Listing All Traditional Latin Masses and Traditional Resources for North America.

Secret Crematoria Discovered in Mexico with Artifacts of Recent Men, Women, and Children
There Is Some Evidence that This Is a Mexican Cult Generated by the Pagan Newchurch of the New Order

From: The TRADITIO Fathers
JPII-Wojtyla & Marciel Macial

The Second Paedophiliac Newpope
Unsaint John Paul II - Wojtyla
Blesses the Notorious Paedophile Presbyter
Marciel Macial, Who Was Associated With
Unsaint "Mother" Teresa of Calcutta
And Her Missionaries of Charity
Even Knowing that Macial Was a Sexual Predator
Teresa Appointed Him to Be Confessor
To Her Missionary Sisters

In a story that could have come right out of Traditional Catholic producer-actor-director Mel Gibson's 2006 film "Apocalypto," depicting the murderous paganism of the Mayans, Mexican authorities found three secret crematoria in Jalisco, containing the recent artifacts and burnt remains of 200 men, women, and children.

Although some think that the discovery is connected to drug cartels, Fox News has suggested that the cremations were connected to a pagan religious cult that has been growing in Mexico, similar to the Santeria cult of the Caribbean. Since the advent of the Newchurch of the New Order in 1964, that Newchurch has given its official blessing to the pagan Aztec Mess and other pagan rites.

It is clear that Mexico, which was originally pagan with its Aztecs and Mayans practicing human sacrifice, but Christianized in the sixteenth century by the European discoverers, has been slipping back to its native paganism. Catholic All Souls' Day in Mexico has recently been turned into some kind of voodooish observance. Paedophile sexual assaults, perhaps derived from the original child sacrifices, has also become rampant there, as exemplified by the paeophile Newchurch presbyter, Marcial Maciel, who was lauded by the Second Paedophile Newpope, the Unsaint JPII-Wojtyla, even though Maciel was known to have sexually assaulted men, women, and children, even his own family (yes, he had a "wife" to whom he introduced Wojtyla) [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Mexican News Daily.]

Traditional Catholics, Marciel Marciel was known to be a sexual predator in his travels around the world for the Unsaint "Mother" Teresa and her Missionaries of Charity. Even when Teresa was informed that Maciel was a sexual predator, she still praised him as one of the "best presbyters she had ever known" and appointed him as confessor to her missionary sisters. No wonder Mexico has reverted to paganism when it came into contact the pagan Newchurch of JPII-Wojtyla, Benedict-Ratzinger, and Francis-Bergoglio!

U.S. President Trump Formally Nominates a Francis-Bergoglio Critic
To Serve as the Thirteenth U.S. Ambassador to the Newvatican

U.S. President Donald Trump
Has Stymied Francis-Bergoglio
By Formally Nominating Bergoglio Critic
Brian Burch as His Ambassador to Newvatican
But Bergoglio Is Heading toward Bankruptcy
So He Has to Play Nice with the U.S.
Which Provides Some One-Third
Of Newvatican's Donations and Collections

U.S. President Donald Trump, who is known to demand reciprocation from other nations, has appointed as his Ambassador to the Newvatican Brian Burch, described as a "sharp papal [sic] critic," who has written critically against Bergoglio for his anti-Catholic and Marxist positions, such as his approval for blessings of sodomite "couples" in his 2021 decree "Fiducia supplicans" and his policies encouraging violation of national borders by illegal invaders, many of whom are murderers, rapists, and drug-dealers.

So, what can Bergoglio do? He can be counted on to be hypocritical in secular as well as religious matters. He poses as Catholic, whereas he is a notorious apostate from the Catholic Faith. As a Marxist, he detests the United States and its new U.S. President Donald Trump, who is a confirmed conservative Christian, but Bergoglio's actions show that his primary concern now is money for his bankrupted Newvatican. And whence does Bergoglio get most of his funds? Granted, he is documented as taking large payoffs from the Communist Chinese Party and Communist China's dictator Xi-Jinping. But one-third of his funding comes from clueless Newchurchers in the United States, so Bergoglio cannot afford, literally, to be too critical.

Burch has also denounced Bergoglio's "pattern of vindictiveness." Burch ran CatholicVote, which turned Newchurch in the U.S. from abortion advocate J.R. Biden to Donald Trump, who was instrumental in getting the pro-abortion Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade decision reversed. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the National Catholic Register.]

Traditional Catholics, in recent years donations and collections from the United States to Newvatican have been plummeting amidst continuing reports of Newchurch's continuing Great Sex & Embezzlement Holocaust, which Francis-Bergoglio, together with his Newpope predecessors Benedict-Ratzinger and JPII-Wojtyla, supported and colluded in. Thus is the apostate Newpope stuck between a real-world Scylla and Charybdis.

A Prophecy of the Next Conclave to Elect a Pretender Newpope for Newchurch?
The Film "Conclave" Depicts a Newchurch in Chaos and Awash with Corruption

Who Controls the Next
Newchurch Conclave
In the 2014 Film "Conclave"
Except for the Strong Cast
The Film Was So Flawed
That even Pagan Hollywood
Virtually Ignored It

After quite a lot of hoopla, the 2024 film "Conclave," now available on Netflix and other streaming services, which is based on Robert Harris's 2016 novel of the same name, turned out to be a dud at the 97th Academy Awards held on March 2, 2025. "Conclave" won only one award, and, curiously, that was for Best Adapted Screenplay, in spite of the fact the plot was arguably the weakest aspect of the film.

Harris is a noted historical novelist, who is quite familiar with Rome, both ancient and modern. In 2003 he published Pompeii, centered at the time of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in A.D. 79. This work was followed by a trilogy of three works -- Imperium in 2006, Lustrum/Conspirata in 2009, and Dictator in 2015 -- focused on the ancient Roman orator Marcus Tullius Cicero, whose works were highly prized by the Catholic Church Fathers.

The very next year after the conclusion of the Cicero trilogy, Harris released "Conclave," a fictional account about the election of a Newchurch hermaphrodite "pope." The film openly promotes the Heresy of Modernism with its flawed subjectivism and relativism. Naturally, the representative of at least conservatism, Sergio Castellitto as Cardinal Goffredo Tedesco, is degraded and vilified. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the National Catholic Register..]

Traditional Catholics, "Conclave" received generally favorable reviews, particularly because of its experienced cast of actors: Ralph Fiennes, Stanley Tucci, and John Lithgow. But even the pagan Hollywood Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences couldn't avert its eyes to the film's obvious flaws and gave it only one secondary award for the adaptation of Harris's flawed novel.

Newchurch's Catholic Charities Syndicate Is Shutting down More Offices
Because It Has Been Caught Funding Illegal Operations in the United States

From: The TRADITIO Fathers
Catholic Charities

Contrary to Its Stated Motto
The Catholic Charities Syndicate
Has Not Been Working to Reduce Poverty
In America, but Has Been Caught
Using U.S. Government Funds
To Support the Entry of Illegal Invaders
Into the United States
Now that the Scam Has Been Discovered
And Is Being Answered for in Court
Catholic Charities Is Now Having to Shut Down
Operations in Major Cities across the U.S.

On March 11, 2025, Newchurch's Catholic Charities syndicate, which is really neither truly Catholic nor a legitimate charity, has essentially shut down two more of its offices in the United States. Offices in San Diego, California, and Fort Wayne, Indiana, have joined offices in Dallas, Texas; Syracuse, New York; and Santa Rosa, California; Jacksonville, Florida; the Texas panhandle; and southwest Kansas in being forced to cut back their operations severely.

The U.S. Government has determined that the Catholic Charity syndicate has been using public monies to support the illegal entry and support of illegal invaders into the United States -- essentially to suborn crime rather than taking care of legitimate charity cases of Newchurchers. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the National Catholic Register.]

Traditional Catholics, the U.S. Government, now under a new administration, has cut funding for such illegal operations, which most Newchuchers were not even aware were going on, thinking that their own donations were going to legitimate purposes. Catholic Charities have been perpetrating a widespread scam on Newchurchers and on U.S. citizens. Therefore, it has now been summoned to court to answer for its illegal expenditure of public funds. The Synodal Newchurch of the New Order, which is most certainly NOT the Catholic Church, is now justly being forced to pay for its gross institutional sins.

Physicians Declare Francis-Bergoglio out of Danger
He Can Now Continue His Modernist Deconstruction of Newchurch Full Bore

From: The TRADITIO Fathers
Marian Franciscans

As the Newchurch of the New Order
Has Been in a State of Virtual Sede-vacante
For the Last Month with Francis-Bergoglio in Hospital
The Hopes of Neocon Newchurchers Have Been Dashed
As Physicians Declare that He Is No Longer in Danger of Death
He Is Expected to Be Discharged in Several Days
And Resume His Modernist Deconstruction
Of Newchurch Full Bore
He Has Already Expelled the "Traditionalist"
Marian Franciscans

It seems that the Neocon harpies that were circling around Francis-Bergoglio's hospital in hopes that they would get another Newpope more to their liking, one that would permit a few more Half New Order New Latin Messes of 1962, which are most certainly NOT the Traditional Latin Mass, have been gravely disappointed.

Bergoglio is already continuing his pogrom against Neocon and New Latin Mess groups by expelling the Neocon Marian Newfranciscans. This group of fifty presbyters actually weren't all that traditionalist, as they simulated not only the Half New Order Vatican II New Latin Mess but also the Full Blown Invalid (Fake) Protestant-Masonic-Pagan New Mess of 1969, what Newchurch calls its "Ordinary" Mess. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Newsmax.]

Traditional Catholics, on March 10, 2024, physicians at Gemelli Hospital in Rome, where Bergoglio has been treated since St. Valentine's Day, February 14, 2025, declared Bergoglio "no longer in imminent danger of death as a result of pneumonia." He has not yet been discharged from the hospital, however, where he will stay for several additional days. Meanwhile, one of his radical associates from Argentina, Juan Grabois, was reported to have forcibly tried to break into Bergoglio's hospital room.

In Spite of Francis-Bergoglio's Sellout Concordat with the Communist Chinese Dictator
Xi Jinping Has Had a Bergoglio-approved Newbishop Arrested for Simulating the Novus Ordo Mess

From: The TRADITIO Fathers
Francis-Bergoglio & Xi Jinping

The Marxist Modernist Newpope Francis-Bergoglio
Has Sold out His Newchurch in a Concordat
With the Chinese Communist Dictator Xi Jinping
Reminiscent of Pius XI's Concordat
With the Fascist Dictator Benito Mussolini
Yet Bergoglio Still "Gets No Respect"
Xi Has Ordered a Bergoglio-approved Newbishop
Arrested for Simulating a Novus Ordo Mess

Francis-Bergoglio's condemned concordat with Communist China and its dictator Xi Jinping has again boomeranged on the Newpope as China has arrested the Bergoglio-approved Newbishop of Wenzhou, Peter Shao Zumin, who was charged with the "serious crime" of simulating a fake (invalid) Novus Ordo Mess to mark the beginning of Bergoglio's Unholy Year. On March 4, 2024, Shao was taken into custody "for his own safety. His whereabouts are currently unknown.

The Marxist/Modernist Newpope Bergoglio essentially signed over Newvatican's power to appoint Newbishops for Communist China in 2018 and has renewed the concordat biennially since then. In return, he receives an annual payoff from the Communists to the tune of reportedly one million U.S. dollars. It is well known that Bergoglio's Newvatican is teetering on the edge of bankruptcy. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Asia News.]

Traditional Catholics, Francis-Bergoglio seems as unconcerned about his Chinese Newchurchers as he does about the child victims of his paedophile presbyters, Newbishops, and Newcardinals, just as the Communists have been sending plainclothes agent-provacateurs into Newchurches to prevent presbyters from simulating the Novus Ordo Mess. In spite of Bergoglio's concordat with Xi Jinping, the Communists don't recognize Bergoglio's purported authority. The Communists have delisted Shao and appointed another bishop in his stead.

United States Ends Loophole of the "Temporary Religious Worker" Visa Programme
Desperate U.S. Newchurch Can No Longer Rely on Foreigners to Make up for Dearth of U.S. "Vocations"

From: The TRADITIO Fathers
Locked Border

The U.S. Has Ended Its
Temporary Religious Worker Visa Programme
Which Newchurch Was Using
To Replace the Dearth of Newseminarians
Who Have Been Scared away
By Newchurch's Great Sex & Embezzlement Holocaust
Newchurch Now Admits that after Closing
Up to Half of Its Newparishes
There are "Holes All over the Map"
And Newclergy "Is Stretched Thin"

Newchuch in the United States has been in a desperate situation. Because it can't attract enough Newseminarians, put off by Newchurch's Great Sex & Embezzlement Holocaust, it has had to rely on foreigners to fill at least some of the gap. However, as of March 14, 2025, the U.S.'s temporary EB-4 Special Immigrant Religious Worker Visa programme for non-ordained workers will expire, so this loophole for foreigners to bypass the more rigorous H1-B visa program for permanent residency -- the coveted "green card" -- will be closed. Under this programme Newchurch has been importing "thousands of workers" from foreign countries into the United States over the last three decades. Another loophole in the EB-4 programme, now closed, allowed The "special immigrants" to bring in their spouses and children.

The U.S. Conference of Catholic [Sic] (New)bishops is desperately trying to push the government to reinstate the programme. However, the United States has been performing a long-overdue government-wide audit of all programmes and has already found that so-called Catholic Charities and the so-called Catholic Relief Fund have been perpetrating fraud by taking government money and spending it on illegal programs. Both Newchurch organizations are now in court on charges of fraudulent expenditure of public funds. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the Catholic Herald.]

Traditional Catholics, Newchurch admits now that it is experiencing a "nightmare" in its Newparish assignment process because there are "holes all across our assignment map, and we usually do not have people to put in their place because our clergy are stretched so thin." In many Newdioceses over half the Newparishes have been closed, and still Newchurch has a dearth of Newclergy.

A False Seeress Has Been Rejected even by Newvatican
Maria Valtorta's Work Had Been Placed on the Index of Prohibited Books as Early as 1959

From: The TRADITIO Fathers
Maria Valtorta

Maria Valtorta, False Seeress?
Even Newchurch Has Had to Reject Her
As No Supernatural "Seeress"
Already in 1959 Her Work Had Been Placed
On the Index Librorum Prohibitorum
Prohibiting Catholics from Risking Their Faith
By Reading Her Work
But She Created a :Lucrative Business "Franchise"
And Published the Work Anyway

Like many "seers" that seem to be popping out of the woodwork in latter days, Maria Valtora (1897-1961), like the "seers" of Bayside, Medjugorje, and the like, has taken in too many, including not a few who call themselves Traditional Catholics. Our Lord Himself warned us that false "apparitions" and "miracles" are used by Satan to deceive: "For there shall arise false Christs and false prophets and shall shew great signs and wonders, insomuch as to deceive (if possible) even the elect" (Matthew 24:24/DRV).

On March 4, 2025, even Newchurch has had to throw in the towel on Valtorta and declared that her "alleged 'visions,' 'revelations,' and 'messages' cannot be considered to have a supernatural origin." Her work contains numerous theological errors. Even Pius XII seems to have been somewhat taken in (though he never declared anything officially), but a more perspicacious John XXIII in 1959 finally put a stop to publication of her works by adding her multi-volume Il Poema dell'Uomo-Dio (The Poem of the Man-God) on the Index Librorum Prohibitorum, prohibiting Catholics from risking their faith by reading it. Valtorta's work was equated with the spurious Apocryphal Gospels, like the Gospel of Judas, a second-century work written by Gnostic heretics, which contain childish and ridiculous texts never recognized from the early Church as genuine. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Catholic World News.]

Traditional Catholics, in any case, Valtorta's works never received the required nihil obstat and imprimatur before they were published. Valtorta, nevertheless, created a lucrative business "franchise" and published the book herself. In doing so, she apparently violated a promise to Pius XII. In 1960 the book was condemned on the front page of the official Papal newspaper L'Osservatore Romano "as a badly fictionalized life of Jesus." Traditional Catholics must not be so gullible as to allow themselves to be taken in by the false prophets against whom Our Lord Jesus Christ vehemently warned us.

It So Happens that Antonio Vivaldi

Dear TRADITIO Fathers:

What is the rule of the true Catholic Church about having secular music concerts in the church? Would it make a difference if the concert were in an associated building, as a school?

THE TRADITIO FATHERS REPLY.

There would be no problem with a sacred or classical concert in an accessory building. Your example of a Navy band would be appropriate in such an accessory building.

The sanctuary of a Newchurch is not Catholic, so it would be treated no differently from a Lutheran church or a Mormon meeting room. In a Newchurch there is no concern about the tabernacle, as the tabernacle (if there is one) would contain only cookies, not the Most Blessed Sacrament.

In the case of a true Catholic church, music concerts are permitted, but only if the concert is of sacred music (e.g., "Mozart's Requiem" or Bach's "B Minor Mass") or of suitable classical music (e.g., Vivaldi, Haydn, Beethoven). For a concert held in the sanctuary of a true Catholic Church, the Most Blessed Sacrament would have to be removed from the sanctuary and reserved at another location during the concert.

Dear TRADITIO Fathers:

As if things couldn't get any worse, in my area Newchurch is starting to replace the invalid (fake) "New Mess" with a "eucharistic service" conducted by lay deacons, because very few young men dare to enter the Novus Ordo presbyterate.

I don't participate in any of this, of course, as I know that Newchurch stopped ordaining priests in 1968 when it began using the Protestantized New Ordinal merely to "install presbyters" (like Protestant ministers). Aren't all these Newchurch services just fakery, non-Masses and Non-sacraments worse than the Protestants ones?

THE TRADITIO FATHERS REPLY.

You are correct. What you are describing is tantamount to a Protestant service, which is most certainly NOT a valid Catholic Mass offered by a Catholic priest, nor is it sacramental "communion," but merely worthless cookies and Kool-Aid. That congregation should long ago have gone home, never to return to the fake Synodal Newchurch of the New Order, which is most certainly NOT the Catholic Church, but an apostate sect worse than the Protestants. Anyone having anything to do with Newchurch and its fake services is personally participating in the apostasy from the true Catholic Faith, a Mortal Sin against the First Commandment of God.

Outgoing Newcardinal of New York Leaves in a Nick of Time
Timothy Dolan's Latest Statement Indicates that He's as Good as Converting to Islamism

The Now-outgoing Newcardinal of New York
Apostate Timothy Dolan
Known Familiarly as the "Laughing Cow"
Is at It Again
Now He's Talking More Like
An Infidel Islamist
Than even a Heretic Newchurcher
Pushing the Two to Worship Together
Against the First Commandment of God

It seems that Timothy "Laughing Cow" Dolan, Newcardinal of New York, is being forced to leave his position just in time. On February 28, 2025, on the cusp of his departure, Dolan praised the infidel religion of Islam and called Ash Wednesday merely a Newchurch "Ramadan" and called on Islamist infidels and Newchurchers to "unite." As if Dolan's statement weren't bad enough, Newvatican itself expressed "solidarity" with Islamists on March 7, 2025. In 2025 Ramadan falls on March 1, and Ash Wednesday falls on March 5.

"Let's unite with our Islamic brothers and sisters [sic] in prayer and fasting," urged the apostate Newcardinal. Islamists are not "brothers and sisters" to Christians; they are technically known as "infidels" like the Jews rather than heretics like the Protestants or schismatics like the Eastern Orthodox. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by LS News.]

The true Catholic Church prays each year on the Feast of Our Lord Jesus Christ the King, the last Sunday of October, the Consecration of the Human Race to the Sacred Heart of Jesus enjoined by Pope Pius XI to be recited before the Most Blessed Sacrament exposed upon the altar the following words:

Rex esto eorum omnium, qui in tenebris idolatriae aut Islamismi adhuc versantur, eosque in lumen regnumque tuum vindicare ne renuas.
Be Thou King of all those who are still involved in the darkness of idolatry or of Islamism, and refuse not to draw them all into the light and kingdom of God.

Traditional Catholics, this is not the first time that Dolan and Newvatican have violated the First Commandment of God by equating infidel Islamism with Catholicism. Actually, Islam is a latter-day religion, fabricated some six centuries after Christ. In accordance with Sacred Scripture, Christians have practiced fasting since the first centuries of the Church. The forty-day Lenten fast was fixed by the year 400, over 200 years before the Islamist religion even originated.

THE TRADITIO FATHERS REPLY.

That is correct for the abstinence that pertains to all Fridays of the year (not just Lent), unless a Holyday of Obligation occurs on a Friday. The abbreviated term abstinence from "meat" is misleading. In English, a vulgar tongue, whose words often change their meaning over time, "meat" used to mean any food (e.g., in the phrase "meat and drink"). Eventually, the term became restricted in its meaning only to "fleshmeat." Sardines are not fleshmeat, but seafood.

Francis-Bergoglio Issues New Directive: Make Newchurch Messes More Banal and Bland
Like Evangelical Services, Avoiding All "Pageantry or Prominence"

From: The TRADITIO Fathers
Evangelical Service

Francis-Bergoglio Has Directed
That Newchurch Messes Remove
All "Pageantry or Prominence"
To Be More Banal and Bland
Complete with Guitar, Chanteuse
And Overhead Karaoke-style Lyrics
Just Like Evangelical Services
And This Directive Presumably
Includes the New Latin Mess of 1962
For the Few Localities
In Which It Is Temporarly Permittted

No wonder the apostate Newpope Francis-Bergoglio hates even the Half New Order New Latin Mess of 1962, let alone the Fully Traditional Latin Mass of 1950 and before. On February 28, 2025, he issued a directive from his hospital bed to remove all "pageantry or prominence" from the staging of the New Mess of 1969 and, for that matter, from the 1962 Mess.

You see, Bergoglio loves castrated Evangelical Protestantism. He admires most of all the infamous Evangelical preacher Joel Osteen, whom even many Protestants denounce as "not a Christian." When the Neo-SSPX's Bernie Fellay visited Newvatican, Bergoglio made him eat alone, while he had a vivacious luncheon with his favorite, Osteen.

Bergoglio went even further. He deputed "liturgists" to spy on Newbishops and "faith communities" (scil. New Latin Mess groups) to make sure that they towed the Bergoglian line to remove everything from their services but what is banal and bland. He himself has set the example, eschewing sublime Latin and soul-stirring Gregorian chant with vulgar tongues and folk ditties. For Bergoglio, worship is nothing divine, nothing sacred, but "the work of the whole assembly." The "liturgy" must be "inculturated," using local pagan cacophony and "rhythmic" dancing. "Inculturation" rather than Romanness was one of the corrupt doctrines forwarded by the Vatican II Anti-council. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the National Catholic Register.]

Traditional Catholics, "pageantry and prominence" has traditionally been considered a reflection of man's adoration of his Supreme God. Non nisi optimum, only the best for God. The true Catholic Church, from as early as the time of the first Christian Roman emperor, Constantine the Great, perfected with its one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Traditional Latin Mass what even the classical peoples like the ancient Romans, Greeks, and Egyptians instinctively understood about the majesty of God Almighty.


MARCH 5, 2025 - ASH WEDNESDAY
PRIVILEGED FERIAL DAY

The true Catholic starts off Lent right by making a little extra effort to assist at Holy Mass on Ash Wednesday and receive the Blessed Ashes. Let's face it. Most days we put ourselves first. We put our own convenience first. Although we claim to be Christians and Catholics, we think very little about God. Ash Wednesday gives us an opportunity to practice our beliefs, to put God first. If that involves a little inconvenience to ourselves to start off the penitential season of Lent right this year, so be it.
We will worship the God we profess at the sacred Traditional Catholic Latin Rite of Ash Wednesday, not in some "modernized," knock-off version that you may see reported around you this day, but in their untouched, traditional form. Ash Wednesday service begins with the chanting of the ninth hour, the Hour of None, of the traditional Catholic Divine Office. None is followed by the traditional Catholic rite of the Blessing of the Ashes, and then the imposition of the Blessed Ashes upon us. The rite concludes in the most appropriate way, the celebration of the fully-traditional (1950) Traditional Latin Mass for this special day, which initiates the forty days of the penitential season of Lent.

Dear TRADITIO Fathers:

What do you think about a traditional Catholic being a godparent at a Newchurch baptism? Do you think that the possibility the child's godfather could guide him towards Traditional Catholicism could possibly justify such an arrangement?

THE TRADITIO FATHERS REPLY.

A Traditional Catholic participating in such an arrangement would be cooperating with heresy, a grave sin against the First Commandment of God, as the Newchurch sect is most certainly NOT the Catholic Church, but now even worse than, e.g., the Lutheran sect. What kind of scandal would such an arrangement cause to the heretical parents and to the child? Remember that the Newchurch sect is just as heretical (if not more so now) than a Protestant sect. Therefore, you might just as well ask the question: What do you think about a Traditional Catholic being a godparent at a Lutheran baptism?

Moreover, Newchurch no longer even calls the "sacrament" (?) baptism, but initiation, as if the individual were being initiated into the Freemasons. There have been so many reported examples -- even admitted by the Newvatican -- of invalid administration of Novus Ordo baptism, that it must be presumed to be invalid, more than baptism in conservative mainline Protestant denominations.

The Pseudo-traditionalist Marian Newfranciscans
Who Tried to Associate with Newchurch
By Simulating both the New Mess and the New Latin Mess
Have Now Been Expelled and Left "Homeless"
This Has Been the Fate of Those Associating
With the Apostate Synodal Newchurch of the New Order
The Fraternity of St. Peter Has Also Been Curtailed
And Is Now under Investigation by the Newvatican

Continuing its purge of pseudo-traditionalists religious orders associated with the New Latin Mess of 1962, fifty Marian Newfranciscans were expelled from Scotland on February 23, 2025. The order's members have been left "homeless." The expulsion has the approval of the Scottish Council of Pr(esbyters).

The pseudo-traditionalist Marian Franciscans tried to play both ends against the middle in Newchurch by offering to simulate the invalid (fake) Protestant-Pagan-Masonic New Mess as well as the Half New Order New Latin Mess of 1962. So, in effect, this order is not "traditionalist" at all. It is similar to the same ruse that is perpetrated by the pseudo-traditionalist community operating out of St. John Cantius Newchurch in Chicago, Illinois, which publicizes itself widely as "traditionalist," but actually uses the New Mess. The Marian Franciscans had associated themselves with sellouts to Newchurch like Newcardinal Gerhard Muller, Newbishop Athanasius Schneider, and Presbyter "Chad" Ripperger.

The Marian Newfranciscans sold out on Holy Week too. They scamper down to the Newcathedral every Maundy Thursday to simulate the invalid New Mess on that day with all the other unordained presbyters of Newchurch. This "Chrism Mess," concocted by the heretic Freemason presbyter Hannibal Bugnini in 1956, is badge of loyalty to Newchurch. All those operating under the Newchurch umbrella, like the Fraternity of St. Peter (FSSP), the Institute of Christ the King (ICRSS), and other such sellouts to the Synodal Newchurch of the New Age, all have to simulate the fake (invalid) concocted Mess on Maundy Thursday of Holy Week. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Catholic World News.]

Traditional Catholics, the Pseudo-traditionalist Marian Newfranciscans are similar to that of the Transalpine Redemptorists, whose New Zealand foundation was likewise expelled from Newchurch upon charges of committing sex crimes on children and performing unauthorized "exorcisms" on children. The Fraternity of St. Peter (FSSP) is also currently undergoing an investigation in the United States by Newvatican. These pseudo-traditionalist organizations that falsely think that they can straddle the fence by being friendly to Newchurch are being castrated by Newchurch one by one.

Latest Statistics on Newchurch Seminaries Show a Newchurch Sinking Fast
There Is Now only One Newseminarian for Every 20,000 Newchurchers

From: The TRADITIO Fathers
Abandoned Newseminary

Newchurch Seminaries Are Being Abandoned
At an Ever-increasing Rate
According to the Latest Statistics
Men Are So Afraid of Being Sodomized
By Perverted Presbyters and Newbishops
That there Are only 2,980 Young Men
Going into U.S. Newchurch Seminaries
And Most of Them Will Drop Out
Long before They Ever Become Presbyters
(Newchurch Stopped Ordaining Catholic Priests
In 1968, when It Adopted a Fake Protestantized Ordinal)

The Newchurch clergy in the United States is sinking fast. The last decennial count of the number of Newchurchers in the United States was 61,900,000, not quite 19 per cent of the total population. Such numbers are totally unreliable as they are usually based on responses to questionnaires, in which the respondents, embarrassed to admit their irreligiosity, claim to be members of a sect when they haven't even set foot in the door of a church.

As of January 1, 2024, just 2,980 men were preparing for non-sacramental installation (Newchurch since 1968 has not ordained priests in the Sacrament of Holy Orders, but uses the invalid [fake] Protestantized New Ordinal merely to "install" presbyter-ministers) for Newparishes in the Synodal Newchurch of the New Order. Even on the assumption that all of these made it to installation, that would amount to one presbyter for each 20,771 Newchurchers.

Yet the statistics show that only a small number of those entering Novus Ordo seminaries remain to the end; most drop out long before. Putting it another way, there are just 16 Newseminarians on average for each of the 176 Newchurch dioceses. The statistics also show that any Newdiocese with more than 1,000,000 Newchurchers attracts a below-average ratio of New seminarians to Newchurchers.

The Newdioceses having the worst time attracting Newseminarians are some of the biggest: Rochester, New York; Las Vegas, Nevada; Chicago, Illinois; San Antonio, Texas; Los Angeles, California; San Jose, California; Buffalo, New York; Sacramento, California; San Bernardino, California; San Diego, California; Rockville Centre, New York; Monterey, California; Tucson, Arizona; Springfield, Massachusetts; Loredo, Texas; Brownsville, Texas; Fairbanks, Alaska. It is not happenstance that many of these Newdioceses are in bankruptcy or have been the focus of notorious paedophile crimes by Newchurch presbyters and Newbishops. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by The Catholic World Report.]

Traditional Catholics, there are two principal reasons why are there so few Newchurchers going into the Newseminaries. First of all, the young men are afraid of being sodomized by the higher and lower Newchurch clergy. They know that Newchurch's Great Sex & Embezzlement Holocaust continues unabated, supported by the apostate Newpopes. The case of the notorious paedophile Theodore McCarrick, Newcardinal of Washington, D.C., is just one of a multitude of such presbyters and Newbishops.

Secondly, as one Newchurch presbyter admitted: "No young man wants to give his life for something banal or mediocre." And that is certainly an apt definition of what the Synodal Newchurch of the New Order is.
