The 2025 Pew Research Religious Landscape Study has found that Newchurchers routinely lie by up to 13 per cent when asked by an interviewer their frequency of attending the Newchurch Mess. And Newchurchers are bigger liars than Evangelical Protestants. The number of Newchurchers in the United States is often given as 50,000,000. Now, it seems that number may be more like 43,500,000.
Accounting for the percentage of lying, the study would indicate that only about 25 per cent of Newchurchers attend the Newchurch Mess. 28 per cent never attend the Novus Ordo service at all But even that number may be grossly overstated. Even the Gallup Poll's numbers are challenged as high. When a statistician and research team counted cars in Newchurch parking lots, they found that Newchuchers over-reported their actual Mess by twice as much as actual, or more. That would bring the number to about 10 per cent, much like the mainline Protestants. By way of comparison 66 per cent of Mormons attend services weekly.

Traditional Catholics, in 1958, at the death of Pope Pius XII, the Gallup Poll reported that 74 per cent of Catholics attended the Traditional Latin Mass weekly. In the last two decades, the number of U.S. adults identifying as Catholic declined from 25 per cent to 20 per cent. No wonder that in the last two decades, the number of U.S. adults identifying as Catholic has declined from 25 per cent to 20 per cent -- and falling.
Pseudo-Newpope Prevost-Leo's former colleague in the Peruvian Newepiscopate, Newbishop Reinhold Nann. claimed on July 1, 2024, that he was in ill health and resigned as Newbishop of Carvaveli, Peru. He was known as a Modernist/Leftist, who ran a "blog" that chastised Newclerics who objected to the "synodal path" of Newchurch.
But then he revealed that on October 17, 2024, he had contracted a civil marriage with his Peruvian concubine. Nann said that he had told the Newvatican about his situation, but Newchurch took no action against him for breaking his vow of celibacy. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by German News Service KNA.]
Traditional Catholics, Newbishop Nann said that he was depressed by "the abysses, tragedies, abuse, mediocrity, and lies” that he constantly faced as a member of the Newchurch clergy, the higher, the worse. He claimed that there were "tens of thousands" of Newchurch presbyters breaking their vows. With 5,340 Newbishops in the Synodal Newchurch of the New Order, the problem is just getting worse, rising among the Newclergy to infect Newbishops, Newcardinals, and even Newpopes.
On October 18, 2025, Newvatican released new statistics on the state of the Synodal Newchurch of the New Order, and it is again not good. The number of presbyters and Newseminarians has sunk again. But, not to worry, the number of paedophiliac Newbishops being appointed has markedly increased once again. At the time of the Vatican II Anti-council (1962-1965), there were 2,625 Catholic bishops. Now there are now 5,340 Newbishops a whopping 203 per cent increase!
Newchurch is all chiefs, no Indians. The Pseudo-Newpopes appoint more and more Newbishops so that they can play Leftist politics for the Newpopes in the secular world. If Newchurch were a corporation (which it is), it would be implementing massive layoffs in management. Moreover, Newchurch is now bloated to the point of bankruptcy, as two of its Chief Auditors have told the press. Because the number of Newchurch presbyters is markedly decreasing, there is no need for such a bloated number of Newbishops. Although the population of the world has reached almost 8 billion, the number of presbyters is only 2/5 of a million. The greatest losses occurred in Europe and the Americas. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the Catholic News Agency.]
Traditional Catholics, add to those statistics the fact that the number of men in religious orders is continuing to decrease, particularly in Europe and the Americas. The number of women in religious orders is also continuing to decrease, again particularly in Europe and the Americas. Newchurch's future continues to be bleak, as particularly revealed by the fact that the number of Newseminarians is also continuing to decrease, so that the outlook for replacing the enormous number of presbyters resigning, retiring, and dying is far from being replaced.
Increasingly showing that he is an Ultra-leftist and Modernist apostate, Pseudo-Newpope Prevost-Leo on October 17, 2025, appointed a comrade Ultra-Leftist and Modernist "activist," a presbyter Josef Grundwidl to replace outgoing Newcardinal Christoph Schonborn, Newarchbishop of Vienna, Austria. Schonborn was also a Leftist-Modernist apostate, the author of the heretical Catechismus Ecclesiae Catholicae (Catechism of the Catholic [Sic] Church) of 1997, so often quoted by Neocon Newchurchers in ignorance of its heresies. So desperate was Prevost to appoint Grundwidl that he appointed a presbyter instead of a Newbishop, who couldn't take office until he was "installed" as a Newbishop (Newchurch stopped ordaining priests in 1968 when it adopted a Protestantized New Ordinal).
Grunwidl is known as a supporter of the "installation" of deaconesses, priestesses, and bishopesses. He also wants to dismantle the current structure to make the Newchurch of the New Order into the "Synodal Newchurch of the New Age." He also wants women appointed to the College of Newcardinals. He wants to break celibacy for presbyters and hand out the conterfeit Novus Ordo "cookie" to divorced and "remarried" Newchurchers, as well as Protestants, Jews, Muslims, and Pagans.

Traditional Catholics, Pseudo-Newpope Prevost-Leo has shown himself to be nothing more than an apostate from the Catholic Faith, a Modernist heretic, whose interest is not religion, but world politics. He should have run for Secretary-General of the United Nations. He has no business pretending to be a "pope." He is far more dangerous than Bergoglio-Francis, who had a dyscholic personality and was widely hated. Prevost, to the contrary, conceals his apostasy under a twisted smile and upgraded haberdashery. Thereby he is far more dangerous than the transparent bumbler, Bergoglio.
