The Bombshell Without a Bang.

By |2025-07-08T10:45:28+00:00July 8th, 2025|Theology|

This month of July 2025, Miss Diane Montagna, an American journalist based in Rome, released an article here titled "Official Vatican Report Exposes Major Cracks in Foundation of Traditiones Custodes (TC.)"  She writes: "The previously undisclosed text, which forms a crucial part of the official report by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith on its 2020 consultation of bishops concerning Summorum Pontificum, reveals that 'the majority of bishops who responded to the questionnaire stated that making legislative changes to Summorum Pontificum would cause more harm than good.'" But only 30% of the bishops had even responded in that 2020 questionnaire.  Miss Montagna asserts that a new report states [...]

US Bishops and Their Moneymaking Borders.

p/c PBS The USCCB continues to issue statements against Trump as they clamor for the billions back once received for illegal activity under the Biden Administration in facilitating open-borders in the United States. However, the Department for Homeland Security also takes the offensive. Homeland issued the following statement to Catholic Charities and the USCCB, among other NGOs: “The chairmen are examining whether these NGOs used taxpayer dollars to facilitate illegal activity, as the previous administration incentivized millions of inadmissible aliens to cross our borders—many of whom were subsequently aided by NGOs after being released at the border under the Biden-Harris administration’s mass catch-and-release policies.” Over the last 14 years, leftist [...]

Ignore the Demoralization and Fight for Christ

By |2025-06-24T12:48:26+00:00June 24th, 2025|Theology|

p/c vladtepesblog.com Mr. Yuri Bezmenov was a KGB-defector from the USSR who came to the Western Hemisphere in the 1970s.  Yuri once explained how ideological subversion always has to precede the Marxist physical revolution.  He insisted that America had already undergone a communist moral revolution by the early 1980s. In that speech, Yuri said the goal for Communists upon America (even before any physical invasion) was "to change the perception of reality, of every American to such an extent that, despite the the abundance of information, no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community and their country.  It's a [...]

A Blue-Collar Catholic Can Recognize a White-Collar Heretic.

By |2025-06-12T03:26:31+00:00June 12th, 2025|Theology|

Most American Catholics do not know the definition of a heretic.  However, a smaller percentage of mainstream Catholics who have studied a little theology might know that Catholics used to call Protestants "heretics," whereas they now prefer the term "separated brethren."  An even smaller percentage of Catholics, namely traditionalists, still prefer to label Protestants as "heretics" (as well they should.)  However, most traditional Catholics today are hesitant to grant the moniker "heretic" to anyone in the clergy without a formal canonical trial.  Why are they so free with the first group and hesitant with the second group? They are afraid that an obvious heretic in the hierarchy as such undermines [...]

Hero in a Vacuum of Hope

By |2025-06-10T12:44:13+00:00June 10th, 2025|Theology|

Between WWI and WWII, Germans proudly sang their patriotic anthem Die Wacht am Rhein translated as "The Watch on the Rhine." It contains the famous line, Lieb Vaterland, magst ruhig sein (seen in picture above) meaning "Dear Fatherland, be at peace."  That is, Germans believed that despite the loss of WWI, they could find the right captain to lead them to peace and victory. Everything was going to be fine... at all costs. Alhough there is much debate to this day on how many Germans actually believed Hitler's initial threats to the Jews, the fact is that it didn't matter to most German gentiles.  They were ready for a win, [...]

Rearranging the “Pontifical Academy For Life.”

By |2025-06-03T12:45:10+00:00June 3rd, 2025|Theology|

In 2016, Archbishop Paglia (top left) was named the "President of Pontifical Academy for Life" by Francis.  Despite the pious names, both were in favor of contraception and assisted suicide. Now in summer of 2025, real Catholics were thrilled to find out that Leo would replace Paglia with someone else.  However, the excitement was short-lived as he replaced him with Monsignor Renzo Pegoraro (top right) who also promotes these pro-death dogmas.  Ed Pentin at CNA even reports that Pegoraro "was the longtime deputy of its outgoing president." Chris Jackson wrote on his Substack about their similar view towards assisted-suicide: "In 2022, Pegoraro publicly justified assisted suicide as a 'lesser evil' [...]

Damage-Control for a Material Heretic

By |2025-05-27T20:46:11+00:00May 27th, 2025|Theology|

The traditional Magisterium of the Catholic Church listed nine ways to being an accessory to another’s sin: 1. By counsel 2. By command 3. By consent 4. By provocation 5. By praise or flattery 6. By concealment 7. By partaking 8. By silence 9. By defense of the ill done. In traditional Catholic morality, we usually apply the above to matters of sexuality, gossip or finances.  And we should. But have we ever thought of what it means to cover for another’s heresy under pretext of “giving the benefit of the doubt” to a "Catholic" teaching error?  St. Thomas Aquinas teaches that heresy is “any deviation from the rectitude of [...]

The Magical “Convert-Making” Chair-of-Peter

They refused to love the truth and so be saved. Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false.—2 Thess 2:10-11. Before the 2025 Conclave, Archbishop Viganó stated: "The Apostolic Constitution Universi Dominici Gregis that regulates the Conclave, confirmed by the Motu Proprio of Benedict XVI Normas Nonnullas, peremptorily establishes that the number of Cardinal electors must not exceed 120 individuals. But the Cardinal electors who make up the imminent 'conclave' are 136: we are therefore faced with a very serious violation that alone would be enough to undermine the legitimacy of any supposedly valid Conclave. Furthermore, a College of Cardinals composed of 108 [...]

The Pope of the Synodal Church

By |2025-05-13T10:11:22+00:00May 13th, 2025|Theology|

Despite the obvious differences in the outfits above, the two men hold the same ecclesiology.  In Leo XIV's very short opening speech on 8 May 2025, he favorably mentioned "Francis" twice, indicating he would continue all his reforms.  In that short speech, he also honored Peru, where he had been bishop.  (It should be noted that in Peru, Bishop Prevost had once promoted the sacramental-heresy of phone confessions being valid.  He also publicly stated that the abortion-tainted COVID-19 vaccine had to be “available for all.") But the most important thing he said from the loggia in his acceptance speech last week was: "To all you brothers and sisters of Rome, [...]
