The Polish Institute for Market and Social Research Foundation in its September 18, 2025, annual survey found that only 35 per cent of Poles say that they trust Newchurch. In 1989, 90 per cent trusted Newchurch. Poland has been hit hard by Newchurch's paedophile clergy, which was exposed for its rampant crimes against children in a 2019 film, "Tell No One," which it is said that virtually every Pole has viewed. Distrust in Newchurch has doubled in just the last eight years.
Embezzlement of Newchurch funds is another significant factor, as Newchurch's Great Sex & Embezzlement Holocaust continues unabated. Moreover, Poles don't like the Pseudo-Newpopes weighting into secular politics, as both the current Prevost-Leo and his predecessor, Bergoglio-Francis, have done.

Traditional Catholics, like Newchurchers in other countries around the world, Poles think that the Newbishops are, to put it mildly, the pits, who merely engage in do-nothing, empty talk. Since 2019 Polish Newchurchers have been promised an independent commission to investigate rampant sex crimes by Poland's Newchurch prelates and presbyters, but the Polish Newbishops have completely failed on making good on that promise.
Pseudo-Newpope Prevost-Leo's administration has gone on a rampage shutting down more New Latin Masses of 1962 in accordance with the 2021 decree "Traditionis cusodes." This is not the Traditional Latin Mass, as often erroneously stated, but a corrupted knockoff fabricated in 1962 at the time of the Vatican II Anti-council. Yet a few clueless Neocon Newchurchers seem wedded to it.
As just one of these recent cases, on September 29, 2025, the Newdiocese of Charlotte, North Carolina, announced that, having already restricted the 1962 New Latin Mess, it would close down another four New Latin Messes at Newparishes and restrict them to one -- count it -- only one -- in a small side chapel, as "Traditionis custodes" forbids simulating the New Latin Mess in a Newparish.
Newbishop Michael Martin declared that the chapel is "not a parish, nor is it a parish-like community being formed" for 1962 Newchurchers. He further decreed that because "the chapel is too small to accommodate all the regular attendees," Newchurchers should consider the chapel as a limited resource "that you might visit for Mess on occasion," not on a regular basis and that the 1962 Newchurchers should show "faithfulness to the discipline of (New)church," which requires attendance at the Vatican II Anti-council's Protestant-Masonic-Pagan "New Mess" of the New Order. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the National Catholic Register.]
Traditional Catholics, these 1962 Newchurchers themselves let the cat out of the bag. They are not Traditional Catholics, but apostates from the Catholic Faith who, to quote one of them, "absolutely believe in the validity of the Novus Ordo Mess." That Mess is a fake (invalid) service fabricated by the infamous Newvatican Committee of Six Protestants in connection with the apostate Vatican II Anti-council (1962-1965) to replace the true Catholic Mass with an invalid (fake) Novus Ordo service. These 1962 Newchurchers are really Protestants in disguise, whether they know it or not.
Don't you wonder why Newchuchers even bother to attend the Novus Ordo Mess? The joke among the presbyters is that they come only for coffee and donuts afterward. Now a new large-scale study for the Catholic Social Science Review found that the vast majority of Newchurchers -- some seven out of ten -- have no belief in what Traditional Catholics call Holy Communion, but what Newchurchers call "eucharist" -- with no definite article, no "holy" preceding, no capital "e." Only "conservative" Newchurchers may have even a speck of belief in the Newchurch "eucharist," receive the Newchurch "cookie" (it is, of course invalid, just a cookie) or bother to attend the Novus Ordo Mess occasionally. Little deal-breakers that cause Newchurchers to leave the Newchurch "eucharist" is the cookie-in-the-hand and, mirabile dictu, failure to ring the Sanctus bell at "eucharist time."
As to the fake (invalid) "bread" being used in the Newchurch cookies being handed out in the fake (invalid) "eucharist," the topic is covered in detail in Michael Davies's book, The Liturgical RevolutionL Volume III, Pope Paul's New Mass, Appendix VI: "The American Scandal." Davies provides the documented "recipes" of invalid "bread" being used and the letter of Newvatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith admitting that it had received numerous reports of invalid "bread" already by 1979, and the problem of fake (invalid) matter, not to speak of fake (invalid) form and intention in the New Mass has gotten only worse in the interim.

Moreover, Newchurch has not ordained Catholic priests since 1968, when it adopted a Protestantized New Ordinal. Since then it has merely "installed" presbyter-ministers, like the heretical Protestants. There is nothing Catholic about Newchurch, its Mess and non-Sacraments. These are merely a charade to fool Newchurchers uneducated in the doctrines of the Roman Catholic Faith.
Traditional Catholics, it seems that Newchurchers can more quickly tell a fake Coca-Cola than a fake Mess and a fake Novus Ordo cookie. Given that Newchurch stopped ordaining Catholic priests in 1968 when it adopted an invalid Protestantized New Ordinal and stopped celebrating Catholic Mass in 1969 when it adopted a full-blown Vatican II Protestant-Masonic-Pagan New Mess, the Newchurchers might as well enjoy the coffee and donuts after Mess to get at least something out of their attendance. Unfortunately, these provide just as little corporal nutrition as the Newchurch Mess provides any spiritual nutrition.
Newchurch continues to roil in paedophile crimes committed by its Newclergy. Newcardinals, Newbishops, and presbyters around the world have all been caught in these vile crimes, with the corrupt Pseudo-Newpopes doing essentially nothing about them. Now the moral corruption has spread to Newchurch's Vatican II-sanctioned married lay deacons. So, Newchurch's paedophilia cannot be placed at the feet of traditional celibacy.
In its 1964 Constitution (Lumen gentium) constituting the apostate Newchurch of the New Order to take over in place of the Catholic Church, the Vatican II Anti-council created the anti-traditional rank of lay deacon. The apostate Newpope Montini-Paul VI couldn't wait to play the lackey to the Anti-council and fabricated the lay deacons two years after its end, in 1967. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the Catholic News Agency]
On September 16, 2025, Newvatican dismissed married lay deacon Alessandro Frateschi for sexually assaulting five children. Frateschi received notification of his dismissal in prison, where the Italian civil government had already beaten Newvatican to the punch by convicting and imprisoning Frateschi well before the foot-dragging Newvatican took any action.
Traditional Catholics, Newvatican's make-believe Zero Tolerance Policy is merely grist for press releases, not action. The Newpopes have scandalously done very little against paedophile crimes by their Newclergy. If they were faithful to their purported policy, they would be left with few clergy to service their apostate Synodal Newchurch of the New Order!
Newpope Bergoglio-Francis's 2021 decree "Traditionis custodes" is alive and well under his successor and disciple current Newpope Prevost-Leo in banning in Newdioceses around the world the Half New Order Vatican II New Latin Mess of 1962, which used to be called "Extraordinary." The New Latin Mess at Sacred Heart Newparish, in Hollister, California, which serves the area around Mission San Juan Bautista, founded by a representative of Padre Junipero Serra in 1797, was shut down on September 14, 2025, by Newbishop Daniel Garcia, of Monterey, who said that he was merely acting in accordance with Newrome's decree.
Newbishop Garcia said that the closure would "strengthen our unity with the universal [New]church" and support the goal of moving toward greater unity in the post-conciliar Roman rite." The post-conciliar rite referred to is the invalid (fake) New Order (Novus Ordo) Vatican II Protestant-Masonic-Pagan "Ordinary" Rite, simulated by unordained presbyters, not Roman at all. Newbishop Garcia censured the presbyter who had been simulating the New Latin Mess for "not giving his full attention to the entire [New]parish rather than taking his limited time spent with a small group of individuals who are not worshipping according to Ordinary (and one) rite of the Latin Church." The number of attendees at the Mess was described as "very small." [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the National Catholic Register.]
Traditional Catholics, Newbishop Daniel Garcia reminded the Newparish that the 2021 decree "Traditionis custodes" essentially banned the New Latin Mess of 1962 because Newchurch wanted only the one New Order Mess being used in the Synodal Newchurch of the New Order. He also censured attendees at the New Latin Mess as engaging in disunity and disharmony. He told the Newparish to get into line with the Newchurch or get out. The Newparish's presbyter was forced into silence on the matter. Naturally, the clueless Neocon Newchurchers in the area were thrown into disarray.
