On October 18, 2026, a Newchurch presbyter who was blasphemously, sacrilegiously, and idolatrously "presiding" over a Novus Ordo Mess was killed by a crucifix falling on him. And all was caught on livestream in Guayaquil, Ecuador.
What caused the cross to fall? No human cause has yet been found. Did the Lord finally tire of being invoked in a blasphemous, sacrilegious, and idolatrous counterfeit Novus Ordo Mess, which is most certainly NOT the valid Traditional Latin Mass? [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the New York Post.]
Traditional Catholics, ironically, the incident occurred during the heretical Offertory Bidding Prayers of the counterfeit Novus Ordo Mess. These prayers were taken directly from heretical Protestantism and woven into the Novus Ordo Mess from its first introduction in 1969. The Bidding Prayers have been used to introduce immoral and apostate notions, to which the congregation mindlessly responds: "Oremus ad Dominum," in whatever vulgar tongue is being used in that particular "liturgy."
The U.S. Conference of Catholic [Sic] (New)bishops is a proven corrupt organization. Even the Mafia has better morals. So bad is it that ALL the Newbishops of the United States are being prosecuted in federal court in a class action suit for fraud, in that the Newbishops have been for years ginning up a special collection for the Peter's Pence scam. The USCCB tried to get off by claiming that its fraud was protected under the First Amendment, but the federal court didn't buy that phony argument.
The U.S. Newbishops have been telling their clueless congregations that the money is going to help the desperately needy and the victims of natural disasters. In fact, the money has been diverted to shore up the Newvatican administration, which is almost bankrupt. The USCCB is also being investigated for diverting federal grants to suborn illegal aliens -- another fraud -- instead of assisting the qualified needy.
On October 16, 2026, the USCCB was caught in yet a third fraud. Its so-called Catholic Campaign for Human Development, a Leftist political arm of the USCCB, gave half a million dollars to an LGBTQXXX group, Common Good Montana. So-called Common Good is using the money for outright Leftist political causes through its sister organization Common Good Missoula. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the Lepanto Institute.]
Traditional Catholics, when will the clueless Novus Ordo Neocons wake up to what is going on? Their Synodal Newchurch of the New Order is most certainly NOT the Catholic Church. They themselves are pawns in the counterfeit Synodal Newchurch or, what is worse, are actively colluding in the fraud, by which apostasy and sodomy are being introduced ever increasingly into the Synodal Newchurch.
On October 2, 2026, the U.S. Newchurch elected a new 2027 President of the Catholic [Sic] Biblical Association of America. There was immediate pushback from Newchurchers. Yet Michael Martin, Newbishop of Charlotte, North Carolina, who himself is himself under fire for heresies, was quick to badmouth his own Newchurchers, defaming them as "hateful and antisemitic" and to express his "delight" in the new President.
Amy-Jill Levine proudly proclaims: "I am not a believer in Jesus as God," will be the association’s president for 2027. Newvatican already recognized her as a teacher of -- ironically, NEW Testament at Newrome's (New)pontifical Biblical Institute since 2019. The apostate Newpope Bergoglio-Francis gave her three audiences, when Neocons in Newchurch get none. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by LS News.]
Traditional Catholics, this case demonstrates that the Synodal Newchurch of the New Order is most certainly NOT the Catholic Church. Just think: the teacher and leader in its most distinguished Biblical institute, teaching not even OLD Testament, but NEW Testament, is not a Christian, but a Jewess, who openly rejects Jesus Christ as God. Such insolent and errant individuals are now peppered throughout Newchurch organizations, thanks to the counterfeit, apostate Newpopes since the Vatican II Anti-council.
Newchurch broke even its own rules to rush through the Novus Ordo con-anization of Teresa of Calcutta in just 19 years after her death. Normally, true canonization before the Vatican II Anti-council (1962-1965) took a century at a minimum, in many cases many centuries. That way, a true Saint could be confirmed by many investigations over many generations.
Yet under Newchurch's corrupted and invalid con-anization process, there was insufficient investigation of her character and morality, rushing her through in record time, a "Subita Sancta," as it were. The TRADITIO Network warned about this flaw at the time. Yet Newchurch, sinking under the revelation of its Great Sex & Embezzlement Holocaust, had quickly to trump up a poster girl to counter the scandal.
Thus, Teresa was made an Unsaint of Newchurch in 2016 by the counterfeit Newpope Bergoglio-Francis. Of course, Newchurch's con-anization process is not valid. It was corrupted after the Vatican II Anti-council and was managed by its counterfeit Newpopes, who, being apostates from the Catholic Faith, have no authority.
More evidence has been coming forth in recent years as to what may be the truth of the matter. It was known already that Teresa engaged in condemned syncretism, in this case the merging of heretical Novus Ordo with pagan Hindu rites. She was even personally involved in Newchurch's Great Sex & Embezzlement Holocaust. When the confessor that she appointed for her Missionaries of Charity "nuns" was publicly exposed as a paedophile who had been raping young boys that he took with him on his travels, Teresa attempted to cover up the fact and continued to give her stamp of approval to her paedophile presbyter.
On October 15, 2026, a new charge was aired, that Teresa housed dying patients in deplorable conditions, depriving them of adequate medical treatment, while funneling donations not toward care for the dying, but to Newvatican to shore up the bankrupted finances of the Newchurch organization. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by LS News.]
Traditional Catholics, now counterfeit Newpope Prevost-Leo is in a pickle. Will he be the first to have to "un-con-anize" a Newchurch Unsaint? Will he even order a thorough outside investigation of the charges against Teresa of Calcutta? Newchurch itself has been caught numerous times in scams, so it most certainly cannot be trusted to search for the truth.
October 23-25, 2026, was to have been the occasion of the annual Ad Petri Sedem Pontifical New Latin Mess of 1962, for which the Neocon group Coetus Internationis had requested permission in February 2026. After nine months Newvatican on September 28, 2026, denied permission for the Mass.
The request was personally delivered in December 2025 by Athanasius Schneider, a prominent Neocon Newbishop. The denial was considered a snub to Schneider and his Neocon associates. The New Latin Mess Ad Petri Sedem was simulated in 2025 by Newcardinal Ray "Bully" Burke. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the Vatican Press Office.]
Traditional Catholics, the picture has by now become clear that Prevost-Leo intends to suppress the New Latin Mess, which is most certainly NOT the Traditional Latin Mass, even more vigorously than his predecessor and mentor. Counterfeit Newpope Bergoglio-Francis issued the original 2021 decree, which extensively suppressed the New Latin Mess.
It used to be said that the Newchurch of the New Order was a Protestant Church. While that is true as far as it goes, the Synodal Newchurch of the New Age engineered by apostate Newpope Francis-Bergoglio and his disciple, apostate Newpope Prevost-Leo, have taken it a giant step further. The Synodal Newchurch has become increasingly pagan.
Bergoglio-Francis officially approved the worship of the murderous pagan fertility goddess Pachamama. Thus, her worship is spreading in Newchurch across the Americas, including the United States. Bergoglio also allowed the worship of the pagan sun god Acatama. Now Prevost-Leo has confirmed and enlarged the scope of these pagan rites. He himself has been photographed worshipping the pagan goddess. More recently, he sent a Newvatican representative to participate in a Pachamama rite in Peru. These examples were covered in previous Daily Commentaries from the TRADITIO Fathers.
Now Luis Rafael Zarama, the Newbishop of Raleigh, North Carolina, has officially allowed a pagan Indian "smudging" rite, featuring a shaman (warlock) to recognize Catherine (aka Kateri) Tekakwitha (1656-1780), made a Novus Ordo "saint" by the apostate Newpope Benedict-Ratzinger in 2012. Ironically, Tekakwitha specifically renounced her pagan Indian religion. The pagan rite was conducted in July 2026 at Holy Cross Newchurch. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by LS News.]
Traditional Catholics, the pagan shamanic rite consists of burning herbs and resins to "cleanse" a space from negative energy and evil spirits and to invoke the pagan spirits of the four cardinal directions. After all, maybe Newbishop Zarama did get it right. Newchurch certainly does need to be cleansed from the top to the very bottom of schism, heresy, and apostasy!
Don't count on any more Half Novus Ordo New Latin Messes at St. Peter's Archbasilica. Most of them have already been canceled, and it is unlikely that any more will be approved, given Newpope Prevost-Leo's appointment on October 10, 2026, of Newarchbishop Vittorio Viola as Archpriest of the Archbasilica.
In reality, however, there is no loss, because the New Latin Mess of 1962 is not the Traditional Latin Mass, but a corruption of it, and such Messes are invalid because they are offered by Newchurch clergy, who are not even ordained priests, but merely "installed" as presbyters under the invalid Protestantized New Ordinal of 1968, introduced along with the invalid Novus Ordo Mess of 1969, still Newchurch's "Ordinary" Mess. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by LS News.]
Traditional Catholics, Newarchbishop Viola has served as Secretary of the Newchurch Dicastery of Divine Worship [sic] since 2021, and was instrumental in vigorously enforcing the suppression of the Half Novus Ordo New Latin Mess of 1962 in accordance with Newpope Bergoglio-Francis's 2021 decree "Traditionis custodes." Newpope Prevost-Leo's hostility to the New Latin Mess is made so obvious by this appointment that even the clueless Neocon Newchurchers cannot ignore his open hostility to the corrupted "1962 Mess," let alone the true Traditional Latin Mass.
There he goes again. Counterfeit Newpope Prevost-Leo again on October 12, 2026, proclaimed again his heresy against the moral teaching of the Catholic Church, as he has on several past occasions, that capital punishment is always immoral. This has been the teaching of the universal and ordinary magisterium of the Catholic Church literally from the Cross. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by LS News.]
For further information on this topic, click on FAQ10: How Do You Explain These Traditional Catholic Beliefs? in the TRADITIO Network's Library of Files (FAQs and Traditional Apologetics) department, in the section "Capital Punishment/Death Penalty.")Prevost's heresy is based in the Vatican II Anti-council's heretical obsession with the "dignity and inviolability of the human person," ignoring the supreme dignity of God. This concept was shoehorned into the apostate Newcatechism of Prevost's mentor, the counterfeit Newpope Bergoglio-Francis in 2018.
To the contrary, in addition to numerous citations in the Old Testament; the example of Christ and St. Dismas, the Good Thief, in the New Testament; the teaching of St. Thomas Aquinas, the Church's Universal Theologian, and the other Fathers and Doctors of the Church, the teaching of the Catholic Church is enshrined in the Catechismus ad Parochos, the Roman Catechism from the dogmatic Council of Trent, which shows that Prevost has it exactly backwards:
The power of life and death is permitted to certain civil magistrates because theirs is the responsibility under law to punish the guilty and protect the innocent. Far from being guilty of breaking this commandment, such an execution of justice is precisely an act of obedience to it. For the purpose of the law is to protect and foster human life. This purpose is fulfilled when the legitimate authority of the state is exercised by taking the guilty lives of those who have taken innocent lives [Pars III, 5, n. 4].
More recently, Pope Pius XII taught:
In the case of the death penalty the state does not dispose of the individual’s right to life. Rather, public authority limits itself to depriving the offender of the good of life in expiation for his guilt, after he, through his crime, deprived himself of his own right to life [Address on September 14, 1952].
Traditional Catholics, that the counterfeit Newpope Prevost-Leo is a public heretic is beyond dispute. His teaching on capital punishment is absolutely contrary to Catholic doctrine: "quod ubique, quod semper, quod ab omnibus creditum est; hoc est etenim vere proprieque catholicum" [what has been believed everywhere, always, and by all; for this is truly and properly catholic (St. Vincent of Lerins).]
No doubt the organization that calls itself the Synodal Newchurch of the New Age, which is most certainly NOT the Catholic Church, but a Modernist counterfeit of it, is hypocritical from top to bottom. The latest evidence of this fact is that in ghastly mediaeval fashion Newchurch "authorities" have dismembered the once-traditional bishop's corpse into pieces: a jawbone Peoria, Illinois; an index finger to New York; who knows what to Rochester, New York.
On October 2, 2026, the Holy Guardian Angels, whose feastday it was, had abandoned the volte-face bishop, while the old saw no longer held true:
The leg bone is connected to the knee bone,
The knee bone is connected to the thigh bone,
The thigh bone is connected to the hip bone.
According to reports, Sheen's index finger was wrenched from his cadaver to satisfy the idle curiosity of the Newchurchers in St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York, the finger that he used to write on his TV chalkboard "JMJ" for "Jesus, Maria, (et) Joseph." All was sweetness and light in the cathedral that day, although the New York prelates treated Sheen in life like dirt. Even after he died, they continued to fight over his cadaver, pulling it between Peoria and New York. Newchurch's disgusting morals were once more on full public display, as it could not even meet the pagan standard of respect for the dead. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by LS News.]
Traditional Catholics, when it comes to money-making enterprises, the Synodal Newchurch of the New Age had no problem putting aside its Modernism and going "mediaeval." After the fakery of the Novus Ordo-beatification on September 24, 2026, Newchurch dismembered the corpse of the once-traditional Catholic turned Vatican II Modernist radical. As if to put the icing on the cake, counterfeit Newarchbishop Ronald Hicks of New York will literally "give the finger" to each Newdeanery in New York on his visits there this year.
Far from being over, Newchurch's Great Sex & Embezzlement Holocaust is experience an upsurge under Newpope Prevost-Leo. On September 14, 2026, the Newchurch Dicastery for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life found the founder of three Newchurch orders guilty of numerous violent rapes and sodomies against twenty young Newseminarians.
Fr. Carlos Miguel Buela's corrupt organizations have spread over 25 countries in 5 continents. The Newchurch organizations known as the Institute of the Incarnate Word (IVE) and the Servants of the Lord and the Virgin of Matara (SSVM) and its Third Order have all been placed into receivership. Prevost-Leo magnified the scandal by allowing the criminal presbyter Buela to remain in Newchurch "doing penance and prayer," while the twenty young men's lives have been destroyed. Buela should do his "penance in prayer" outside Newchurch and its corrupt clergy.
It is no surprise that Buela was associated with the notorious Newcardinal Theodore McCarrick, who had a "close relationship" with Buela and donated over 1,000,000 USD to his corruption. McCarrick himself was a conduit for "installing" several of the Newseminarians under the Newchurch aegis. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Vatican News.]
Traditional Catholics, is it any wonder that so few young men dare to enter the morally and doctrinally corrupted Newchurch seminaries and why Newchurches around the world are shutting down right and left because they cannot supply presbyters to staff them? Anyone who enters a Newseminary nowadays risks his life -- literally.
How will the counterfeit Synodal Newchurch of the New Age, which is most certainly NOT the Catholic Church, celebrate the 800th anniversary of the death of St. Francis of Assisi? The apostate Newpope Prevost-Leo has announced that he will stage another blasphemous Assisi Conference on October 25-27, 2026, forty years after the 1986 First Assisi Conference, which caused worldwide scandal when the pagan Buddha was placed on top of the pseudo-tabernacle and Wojtyla-JPII joined heretics, infidels, pagans, and animists in offering flowers to who-knows-what god.
Prevost's reprise will be much worse, a complete anti-Catholic blowout. Whereas Wojtyla stood "in unity" with eleven leaders of false sects, Prevost will stand with 384 leaders of false sects -- Protestants, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, and a passel of others -- with himself making up the 385th leader of a false sect, the Synodal Newchurch of the New Age. Idols from 53 countries will be represented.
Prevost wants to change "the vision that non-Christian religions have of Christianity" by showing that Christians are just as blasphemous, idolatrous, and sacrilegious as the anti-Catholic riffraff in his great fancy of "spiritual unification," but not in Jesus Christ. Yet this man tells the Big Lie that he is the pope of the Catholic Church. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by LS News.]
Traditional Catholics, the hypocrisy of Newpope Prevost's action can be cut with a knife. He had proclaimed on October 7, 2026, the Feast of the Most Holy Rosary: "It is certainly not by watering down the content or softening the demands that Christianity can be made attractive." Yet here he is himself placing Christianity on the same plain as worshippers of elephants, multi-armed goddesses, and a squatting fat man.
On October 2, 2026, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court slapped down a fourth sham plan by Michael Barber, Newbishop of Oakland, California, and the Oakland Newchurch diocese to get the lawsuits of 300 child victims of its criminal paedophile presbyters off its back. The Court found that Barber and the Newdiocese were in essence trying to cheat the children who were raped and sodomized by Oakland's paedophile presbyters by offering them a measly 73,000 USD apiece -- hardly enough to pay for their medical and psychiatric treatments, plus their lost education and lifelong disabilities.
The Court found that the Oakland Newdiocese had been cheating the child victims by undervaluing the Newdiocese's assets, including churches now sitting vacant on valuable properties, 13 such churches having been closed already in 2026. Barber had been arguing to the Court that his Newdiocese "should be granted special consideration because it was a religious institution." The child victims' attorney viewed the matter very differently: "For over three years, the (New)bishop and his … bankruptcy lawyers have deployed hardball tactics to further oppress and suppress justice, truth, and transparency that the survivors seek through the creditors committee."
The Court rejected Barber's argument and agreed with the child victims. It found that "the (New)diocese's status as a religious entity "did not entitle it to particular protections or to be treated differently or more leniently than any other nonprofit or business seeking bankruptcy status." The Court also rejected the Newdiocese's phony figures of its real-estate assets and its low assessment of its financial obligations to the child victims. The Court upbraided Barber for not producing "a single penny of recovery" for the child victims in over three years. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the San Francisco Chronicle.]
Traditional Catholics, yet all Newbishop Barber could do is mouth platitudes about "proclaim(ing) the Gospel of Jesus Christ," which the Newdiocese has completely violated. If the Oakland Newdiocese were truly contrite for the crimes that it has committed against the child victims of its criminal paedophile presbyters, it should sell off its monstrosity of a cathedral, built partially from funds highjacked from its Newparochial schools. The Newdiocese chose to build an unneeded 200,000,000 Newcathedral, but can't find the money to make reparations to the child victims. The Newcathedral property could usefully be razed and made into a downtown parking lot, with the proceeds going to the child victims.
The Neo-SSPX has more problems these days than its Novus Ordo "excommunication." It is facing accusations of paedophile crimes at its orphanages and schools around the world. Now a Neo-SSPX priest-presbyter has revealed himself as a sodomite and has left the Society. But he did not leave quietly. He took up the black art of tattooing, in which he defiles human bodies with tattoos, condemned in Sacred Scripture as a pagan practice. Some of the tattoos that he cuts into bodies are of the Virgin Mary and Saints, which is a double sin.
For further information on the immorality of tattoos, click on FAQ05: What Traditional Catholic Resources Do You Recommend? in the TRADITIO Network's Library of Files (FAQs and Traditional Apologetics) department, in the section "Tattoos and Body Piercing (Self-laceration)."
This Neo-SSPX priest-presbyter, who goes by the name of Francis Palmquist, once described as a "celebrity" within the Neo-SSPX, has now taken to shacking up with other sodomites, whom he meets at "gay" bars. He bears on his own body the same blasphemies that he cuts into the bodies of others. He himself has questioned, "Why the heck am I getting all these religious tattoos?," but he has not stopped his sinful practice. He calls himself the "Judas Project." [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the Religious News Service.]
Traditional Catholics, Palmquist said that during his sad downfall, his Neo-SSPX superiors were of no help to him. No serious religious counsel, no medical assistance, in spite of the fact that the Neo-SSPX is reputedly sitting on a horde of money stashed in over a dozen Swiss bank accounts. The same story has unfortunately been heard many times.
We hear a good number of references these days to "Canon Law." Most Catholics don't understand what it is. It is supposed to be based upon tried-and-true traditional principles of how the Church is to be administered, some of these principles going back to Roman Law that is the foundation of British, European, and even American law. Traditional Canon Law, originally based upon precedents, much like British law, was first compiled into digests of these precedents, and then into the 1917 Codex Iuris Canonici by Pope St. Pius X and promulgated by his successor, Benedict XV (not Newpope "Benedict XVI").
But, in 1983, along with all its other heresies and anti-Catholic aberrations -- the New Mess, the New Bible, the New Catechism, etc. -- the apostate Newchurch of the New Order was given a "New" Code of Canon Law by the counterfeit Newpope JPII-Wojtyla, who enshrined in it the apostate religion of the Vatican II Anti-council. Now counterfeit Newpope Prevost-Leo is working to enshrine his Synodal Newchurch with yet another new Code/Constitution.
What Prevost & Co. are engineering is a wholesale conversion of their Synodal Newchurch into a Protestant sect, in which Christ's constitution for the Church is rejected. In the end, there are no clergy, and the laity, particularly women, will run the Newchurch "corporation." It is a model that has been disastrous for the Protestants and Evangelicals, who are losing congregations hand over fist. Newchurch, which is essentially already a Protestant sect, has suffered the same loss of congregations and churches, reduced down to a mere 5 per cent since 1958. That percentage consists of far fewer men, who have walked out of the often Lesbian-bent congregations.
Another area in which the Newcode will be perverted is that of paedophile crimes perpetrated by Newclergy in Newchurch's Great Sex & Embezzlement Holocaust. Newchurch courts already excuse the rape and sodomy of children, arguing that paedophilia is a mental illness that excuses the perpetrators. "The child made me do it," so the Newchurch argument goes. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by The Dispatch.]
Traditional Catholics, in Australia, for example, which keeps statistics of these crimes -- as opposed to Newdioceses in the United States, San Francisco, California, for example, which refuses to provide required statistics to its own U.S. Conference of Catholic [Sic] (New)bishops -- 75 per cent of paedophile presbyters were kept on in Newchurch, so that they can go on to committing their perverted crimes, rather than being expelled. Counterfeit Newpope Ratzinger-Benedict was one of the worst accomplices in these vile crimes, denounced in the Bible as One of Four Sins that Cry out for God's Vengeance. Bergoglio-Francis and Prevost-Leo are just as morally vile as Ratzinger.
The President of the Canadian Conference of Catholic [Sic] (New)bishops, Pierre Goudreault, who was publicly involved in a "liturgy" worshipping the murderous pagan fertility goddess Pachamama, has met with the favor of counterfeit Newpope Prevost-Leo, who has appointed him Newbishop of Trois-Rivieres, Quebec.
By his blasphemy and idolatry, Goudreault was openly trying to court the favor of Prevost, writing to Prevost that the pagan worship "furthered and strengthened the (New)church in Canada" through "synodality." [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Newchurch news sources.]
Traditional Catholics, the corruption of each apostate Newpope is worse than his predecessor: Wojtyla worse than Montini, Ratzinger worse than Wojtyla, Bergoglio worse than Ratzinger, and now Prevost worse than Bergoglio. "Synodality," like words such as Oecumenism, have become a tabula rasa for anything the Modernist heretics want to make of them, unlike Catholic theology, which uses (Latin) words in very specific meanings that have remained constant through the centuries. Indeed, the Newchurchers have learned much from the deceptive techniques of the Arch-heretic Martin Luther.
On his latest Newpapal junket, to France, counterfeit Newpope Prevost-Leo had practically to be dragged kicking and screaming to have a meeting with a handful of the child victims that his Newcardinals, Newbishops, and presbyters had raped and sodomized. Prevost has been -- if possible -- even more callous toward the children whose lives his Newclergy has ruined, many of them committing suicide as a result.
The parents of the French children have become more vocal and threatened to compromise Prevost's junket to France by forcing him to face the embarrassment of his glaring inaction. When it comes to the Newpopes, justice and charity are not persuasive, only embarrassment. At that, Prevost could scrape up only seven child victims who were willing to meet with him on September 27, 2026. Prevost was too embarrassed to meet with them publicly; this was a very private meeting. A 2021 report estimated that 330,000 children in France had been sexually assalted over seven decades by Newchurch bishops, presbyters, and even lay officials of Newchurch schools, parishes, and religious orders. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the Associated Press]
Traditional Catholics, one of the child victims involved was assaulted by a criminal Newchurch presbyter, Bernard Preynat, who admitted to sexually assaulting 75 boys. Another child victim claimed that he was assaulted by a Newchurch presbyter, a sexual pervert who rejected Catholic teaching on sexual morals. He posed as an advocate for the poor and homeless while he sexually assaulted the very people he claimed to be helping. This has been a typical pattern for perverted Newchurch clergy ever since the apostate Vatican II Anti-council: posing as being white as snow while acting black as filth.
For over 60 years Philistine Newchurchers have been so exposed to "trash" architecture initiated by the apostate Vatican II Anti-council that any Catholic sense they once had has now made them comfortable living with the trash. They don't know anything better, just as they are surrounded by the "trash" music of jangling electronic pianos and rock "worship" bands instead of the traditional organ. Thus, when the opportunity for beautification to improve their lot presents itself, many of them object because they want to continue to live in architectural squalor.
Christ the King Newchurch in Milwaukie, Oregon, built in 1980, is defined by its conical roof covering an octagonal nave, spurning two millennia of the Roman style. The structure has been described as "(Un)holy emptiness," inspired by the heretic Lutheran theologian and socialist Paul Tillich. The goal, it seems is to "destroy the many symbols which have given formal validity to the idea of a (traditional) church."
The proposed renovation and beautification would involve the replacement of the cold, simplistic Novus Ordo structure with a new marble sanctuary, including a real traditional altar in the classical Roman style, beneath a large crucifix and side panels depicting Angels and Saints. Unfortunately, there would still be a Novus Ordo table in front, but it would be of marble in a similar Roman style. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by "The Architect's Newspaper."]
Traditional Catholics, the beautification of Christ the King Newchurch is slated to start in the autumn of 2026, that is, if the Modernist heretics don't derail the project with their protests against a traditional Roman Catholic-style church. But perhaps there will be nothing to worry about. At the rate the Synodal Newchurch of the New Age is going now, the church may have to be sold off for its timber scrap when the small remaining Novus Ordo congregation disappears.
The Newchurch of the New order has learned absolutely nothing from its Great Sex & Embezzlement Holocaust, which continues unabated under counterfeit Newpope Prevost-Leo. On October 7, 2026, Australia's senior Newchurch cleric, Perth's Newbishop Christopher Saunders, will face his fate in a Western Australia court, which has released to the public a surveillance video taken of Saunders grooming an Aboriginal boy for rape. Saunders was convicted by cameras in his own rectory on 13 counts of sexual assault. He is currently in a maximum security prison awaiting the sentence of the court.
Saunders was fingered by prosecutors with "abusing his power by exploiting the significant authority and influence he held as a senior member" of the Newchurch of the New Order, of targeting and grooming Aboriginal boys 40 years younger than he. The Newbishop staged alcohol-fueled parties on Newchurch-owned property with Newchurch funds used to provide food, alcohol, and cigarettes.
Yet, in spite of being caught virtually in flagrante delicto,Saunders had the gall to ask for a light sentence because he has already "suffered a loss of standing in community and a fall from grace." The gall of the man! What Saunders suffered is not one iota of what the poor boys suffered. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by 7News.]
Traditional Catholics, instead of blithely gallivanting around the world on what seems to be never-ending Newpapal junkets. what an example he could for his paedophile Newcardinals, Newbishops, and presbyters, if Newpope Prevost-Leo instead flew to Western Australia and personally condemned before the world what his Newchurch bishop did and personally petitioned the court to exact the maximum sentence possible. Only that kind of action might jolt the Newchurch paedophile clergy into reality. But, of course, Prevost will never do that. He and his Newchurch predecessors from Montini-Paul VI, Wojtyla-JPII, Ratzinger-Benedict, and Bergoglio-Francis obviously do not want to stop the crimes. In fact, they are on record before the world as open facilitators of them.
Again Neo-SSPX members, excommunicated from the Synodal Newchurch of the New Order by counterfeit Newpope Prevost-Leo, have been barred from entering a traditional shrine, now under the control of Newchurch. The Neo-SSPX clergy and laity trying to enter the Shrine of the Canadian Martyrs in Midland, Ontario, Canada, on September 27, 2026, were forcibly barred from entering to venerate the relics on their annual pilgrimage there. Instead, the 200 members were relegated to throwing together a New Latin Mess of 1962, which isn't even the Traditional Latin Mass, sharing a nearby field with the cows.
Newcardinal Gerald Lacroix, of Quebec, Canada, has withdrawn all "allowances" formerly granted to the Neo-SSPX. The Society is barred from all Newchurches. Newbishop Daniele Salera, of Turin, Italy, barred Neo-SSPX members from the Shrine of Our Lady of Sorrows. Newbishop Jean-Marc Micas, of Lourdes, France, banned Neo-SSPX members from the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes. Neo-SSPX members were prohibited from entering the Newbasilica of St. Francis in Assisi, Italy. Newbishop Wilhelm Krautwaschl, of Graz, Austria, expelled Neo-SSPX members from saying the Rosary in the Newbasilica of Mariazell, Austria.

Traditional Catholics, the Neo-SSPX has been hoisted by its own petard. After over two decades of playing the sycophants to the counterfeit Newchurch since the death of their founder, Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, they have gained nothing of the power that Bernie Fellay, former Superior General, had hankered for. Is the theological formation perpetrated at their Econe, Switzerland, seminary so bad that they cannot see what is obvious to the simplest of their faithful? The time is long past for them to cut the cord with the counterfeit Newchurch and rejoin the Catholic Church, which still remains in tens of thousands of churches, chapels, and oratories throughout the world who have remained independent of the counterfeit and apostate Newchurch.
Counterfeit Newpope Prevost-Leo and his Synodal Newchurch of the New Order have really geared up their counterfeit "con-anization" engine to Novus Ordo-beatify Fulton Sheen, former Newchurch bishop of Rochester, New York, from 1966-1969, after serving as auxiliary bishop of New York and a television career. The fiasco took place on September 24, 2026, in St. Louis, Missouri, with Modernist-Leftist Newcardinal Luis Tagle, of the Philippines, giving the "homily."

The best we can say is that Tagle did utter the formula of pseudo-Novus Ordo-beatification in perfectly-pronounced Latin. The crowd was astonished when the supposedly Modernist Synodal Newchurch displayed a relic of the pseudo-beatus, his mandibulum (jawbone), apparently wrenched from his cadaver.
Although before the Vatican II Anti-council (1962-1965) Sheen was generally traditional, about average for the time, after he drank the polluted water of Tiber River during the Anti-council, Sheen flipped and became one of the worst Modernists and Oecumenists. When he became Newarchbishop of Rochester, New York, he raced to put into effect the most radical changes of the Anti-council almost overnight, a task in which Providence thwarted him at every turn, to the point that he had to abdicate after not even three years in the position, hated by large numbers of his congregations.
Reports have it that Prevost poured Newvatican money into the pseudo-beatification because Sheen totally flipped after the Anti-council to turn traitor to the traditional Catholicism that he had represented before the Anti-council and to associate closely with the Anti-council and the counterfeit (invalid) Protestant-Masonic-Pagan New Mess. Prevost cited Sheen's enthusiastic endorsement of the Anti-council and the Novus Ordo Mess to bolster his own Novus Ordo agenda against more conservative elements in his own apostate Newchurch and against the Neo-Society of Pius X.
Up to now there has been almost no pushback against this folderol, because it has taken a few days to overcome the hordes of propaganda money flooded out in a torrent by Prevost and Neocon Newchurch supporters of the "Modernized" Vatican II Sheen. Before the Vatican II Anti-council. But God's truth is bound to come out eventually. Here are just some incidents in the life of the "Modernized" Sheen:
Traditional Catholics, the story of Fulton Sheen is truly sad. Before the Vatican II Anti-council he was an important voice for Catholicism and against atheistic Communism. For whatever reason -- some say that it was his inherently prideful nature -- the diabolical nature of the Anti-council tempted him to flip to the Dark Side. He certainly wasn't the only one to do so, and he certainly won't be the last.
