On July 8. 2026, two Springfield, Massachusetts, Newbishops were fingered in a paedophile sex-crimes lawsuit, which is set to cost Newbishops Christopher Weldon and Joseph Maguire 10,000,000 USD.
The child victim charges the two with forcing numerous sex acts upon him in the Newdiocesan orphanage when he was 4-5 years old. Newbishop Weldon had already settled a similar case in 2023 brought by an "altar boy." Even the Springfield Newdiocese had to admit that the charges were credible. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by WWLP News.]
Traditional Catholics, the two Newbishops are said to have been so vile as to tell the little boy that he'd better not tell on them because "God will not forgive you." Such blasphemy on the part of the Newbishops is not the first time that this ploy has been used on children by Newcardinals, Newbishops, and presbyters to scare assaulted children out of their wits. The children are thus completely traumatized, and their lives are ruined.
Does counterfeit Newpope Prevost-Leo even know he's supposed to be Catholic? No, it seems that he has contracted Oecumenical Fever worse even than his mentor, Bergoglio-Francis. Prevost is all over the map with Protestants, Jews, Infidels, and Pagans, while he despises true Catholicism.
On July 29, 2026, Prevost put on a so-called "Canticle of Peace" concert at his Castel Gandolfo castle featuring Protestantism's No. 1 hymn, "Amazing Grace." Tenor Andrea Bocelli, a Newchurcher, blasted out the Protestant hymn with full choir. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by MT Times.]
Traditional Catholics, this event was held in the gardens at the castle, now called Borgo Laudato si', named after apostate Newpope Bergoglio-Francis's encyclical letter that made the green environmental movement into a god and even included a Latin poem praising the goddess of nature. You see, the Vatican II Anti-council's Oecumenical Heresy (we all worship the same gods; all religions are true), pushed particularly by Bergoglio and Prevost, includes paganism, pantheism, and even atheism.
A Newcardinal appointed by counterfeit Newpope Bergoglio-Francis has been accused by five women of assaulting them and abuse of authority. He subsequently withdrew from the exercise of his office on July 7, 2026. Newcardinal Cristobal Lopez Romero, Newarchbishop of Rabat, Morocco, was a radical Modernist apostate in Bergoglio's inner circle.
Romero actively participated in the Newconclave that elected Bergoglio's protege, counterfeit Newpope Prevost-Leo, an even more radical Modernist apostate. He has stated: "The far left is still too far to the right for me." [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Infovaticana.]
Traditional Catholics, In what could be considered a payoff for Romero's politicking for him at the Newconclave, Prevost appointed him to the powerful Dicastery for Institutes of Consecrated Life, which has control over the Fraternity St. Peter (FSSP), the Institute of Christ the King (ICRSS), the Institute of the Good Shepherd (IBP), and other pseudo-traditionalist organization reporting to the Prevost regime.
On July 30, 2026, scholars announced that they had found two previously-unknown Latin sermons of St. Augustine of Hippo, the Great Father and Doctor of the Church, who with St. Paul of Tarsus and St. Thomas Aquinas of Rocca Seca, constitute the Sacred Trinity of Catholic Theologians. It is rare that such a finding is made after so many centuries.
This discovery of immense importance was made in the Cistercian Monastery of Pelplin, Poland. These Latin sermons were discovered within a 12th-century codex written in a Gothic hand from original 5th-century works of St. Augustine. They include a new take on the problem of evil, what is known in theology as theodicy, the justice of God. The subject is one that is still challenging theologians to this day: why the All-Good God permits evil.
St. Augustine examines the case of Saul, Israel's first king, who consulted with the Witch of Endor, as recounted in the 28th chapter of the First Book of Kings. Saul consults the necromancer to summon the prophet Samuel for a prophecy. St. Augustine suggests a new explanation for this episode, that Saul may ultimately have repented and been redeemed. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the National Catholic Register.]
Traditional Catholics, the Great Father and Doctor of the Church, St. Augustine of Hippo, never ceases to amaze!
By now the counterfeit "hierarchy" of Newchurch has been thoroughly infected with apostasy. A case in point: Newcardinal Timothy Radcliffe, who is also Master General of the Newdominicans, on July 2, 2026, openly simulated a Mess to celebrate the "gay" marriage of two males. Sodomy is one of the Four Biblical Sins that Cry out to God for Retribution. A herd of Newbishops and presbyters couldn't wait to crowd around the Novus Ordo eucharistic dinner table.
This blasphemy took place at Holy Apostles Church in London, England. Radcliffe was, of course, not excommunicated. The two males feted had engineered the founding of Westminster's "homosexual pastoral ministry." The counterfeit Newcardinal himself delivered the "homily," after which all of the apostate Newclergy, each in turn, sacrilegiously asked for the blessing by the Most Blessed Trinity on the two.
Traditional Catholics, all this was in accordance with the execrable 2023 decree "Fiducia supplicans." And, to top it off, Newcardinal Radcliffe is Prevost's official preacher to the Synod of his Synodal Newchurch of the New Age. He is the one filling all the Synodal lemmings with Prevost's apostasies.
