On July 30, 2025, the respected Pew Research Center reported that France, Australia, the United Kingdom, and Uruguay are now no longer majority Christian countries. The decline is ascribed to "religious disaffiliation," a movement away from religion to "nones." Younger people in particularly are religiously adrift, looking in vain for some vague notion of "spirituality." Atheism is growing, and infidel and pagan sects like Islam are seeing a revival in countries like Indonesia, Nigeria, and Tanzania.
Other contributing factors are the decline in Christian birthrates, the failure of Christian parents to instill religious values in their children, and the Red China Virus retreat into cell phones in lieu of person-to-person contact. In addition, Newchurch's continuing Great Sex & Embezzlement Holocaust have driven Newchurchers out of churches in France, Ireland, and the United States.

Traditional Catholics, the Pew Research Study predicts that in the next decade, Canada, Estonia, Belgium, Germany, Chile, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and even Spain are expected to lose their Christian majorities. And more of those Christians will be CINOs, Christians in name only, people who call themselves Christian, but never attend church, never read the Scriptures, and don't know Christian doctrine.
In just the two months since his election on May 8, 2025, as the Pseudo-Newpope of the Newchurch of the New Order, Prevost-Leo has confirmed that he is no true pope. In fact, he is acting as if he considers himself to be a rock star than anyone religious.
On July 29, 2025, he had summoned a horde of youthful "influencers" on antisocial media to a shivaree in Newvatican and played the rock star to the clueless youth, who gyrated in pagan dance moves like heretic Pentecostalist snake-dancers as he was driven around St. Peter's piazza in his "popemobile -- no sedia gestatoria for this Modernist! The press declared it a "rock star's welcome" and a veritable "woodstock," referring to the 1989 drug- and sex-besotted youth rally in New York. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the Associated Press.]
Traditional Catholics, Prevost addressed the youth and didn't even mention Jesus Christ or Catholicism, but spouted only the mantra of secular "world peace." He emphasized "humanism," not Catholicism. If he had put on a business suit, he could have been mistaken for the secular head of the United Nations.
Canada, which has been the site of some of the worst sex crimes against children by Newchurch presbyters and Newbishops, is plunging in attendance at the Protestant-Masonic-Pagan "Ordinary" New Mess of 1969 and in the collections that it used to bring in. Thus, Newchurch has become desperate to replace the lost funds, so it has taken to selling off many of its Newchurches to become bars and restaurants, gymnasia ("nudity places"), and theaters. The same sacrilege has been occurring in the United States and elsewhere.
The latest example of this sacrilege was the sale of Notre-Dame-du-Perpetuel-Secours (Our Lady of Perpetual Help) Newchurch in Montreal. Before Newchurch took over the "institutional" Catholic Church in 1964 at the Vatican II Anti-council, attendance at the church was in the thousands for the Traditional Latin Mass. Just before the sellout that number had sunk to just a few. The traditional church, built in 1906 in the Neo-Romanesque style, boasts stained-glass windows depicting Biblical scenes in vivid detail. Newchurch has sold off the church to become "repurposed" into sacrilegious purposes. The nave was transformed into a venue for degenerate rock concerts, and the confessionals and pews were turned into bars.
Newchurchers and other pagans now gyrate to pink and purple neon laser lights, while a pagan African band blasts its vulgar "music" in the space where the heretic eucharistic dinner table used to be. The former Newchurch has become the site of "fetish parties," which organizers touted as "Montreal’s most kinky, freaky, and sexy Halloween events." No surprise there, Newchurch itself is run by degenerate presbyters, Newbishops, and Newpopes, who have not a gram of Catholicism in them. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the Associated Press, July 27, 2025.]
Traditional Catholics, to sacrilege, Newchurch has added blasphemy. It calls the "repurposed" Newchurch part of a "sacred mission." Even the new owners of the former church admitted: "There is less faith." That's putting it mildly. The Newchurch of the New Order is and has never been Catholic, but a paganized apostate sect, worse even than the Lutherans or Presbyterians, who have at least some shred of Christianity left.
Since 476 France has been called la fille aînée de l’Église (the eldest daughter of the Church) because the Frankish King Clovis I first embraced Catholicism in that year. No longer. Now the French, paganized by 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, are burning down their historical traditional Catholic churches. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the National Catholic Register.]
Traditional Catholics, the latest example of such an arson attack on a traditional Catholic Church, this a very famous one designed by the famous Gustav Eiffel, was perpetrated on July 24, 2025, against Notre-Dame-des Champs-Church (Our Lady of the Fields) in Paris, built 149 years ago. It is now shuttered "for an indefinite period" after being torched by a fire in a side chapel dedicated to St. Joseph. There have been 50 cases of arson against French churches in 2024, a one-third increase over the previous year.
Now Pseudo-Newpope Prevost-Leo is sending out Joel Osteen clones to trying to lure young people into the apostate Synodal Newchurch of the New Order. Osteen poses as the leading (heretic) Evangelical preacher, who is disavowed by most Evangelical ministers, as he teaches a modern corruption of the anti-Christian Calvinist "Prosperity Gospel." In fact, he talks a great deal about prosperity, but not much about the Gospel. He prances around on a concert stage always Bible-less.
But the late Pseudo-Newpope Bergoglio-Francis deeply loved him. In fact, he invited Osteen to his table in the Newpapal dining room while snubbing the Neo-SSPX's Superior Bernie Fellay at a lower table. Prevost, being a disciple of Bergoglio, also loves Osteen or his type. So on July 28, 2025, Prevost engaged 1,000 antisocial-media "influencers" to lure the clueless into the newly-reminted Protestant-Masonic-Pagan Synodal Newchurch of the New Age. These influencers are dubbed "hot," i.e., good-looking. Newchurch under Prevost has become a slick Madison-avenue deceit. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by MSN News.]
Among these Novus Ordo "deceivers" are:
Traditional Catholics, although Bergoglio-Francis presented himself as a bit of a slouch, Prevost-Leo presents himself with a well-manicured haberdasherie, perhaps provided by the elite Chicago clothiers he once knew. Horribile dictu, Newvatican has issued a calendar titled "The Gorgeous Men of God," featuring such a disgusting depictions of men whom the clueless Newchurchers think to be "priests." The press blurb didn't indicate, but it would not shock us if the calendar included presbyters in various states of disrobing. But that is par for the anti-Catholic Newchurch.
