'The nuncio was reminded of what had happened to the papacy during the Avignon “captivity”.' What is that supposed to mean? Is Trump going to kidnap the pope like he did the Venezuelan president?
A perfect meditation for Holy Week, especially when so many of us are tempted to comment on every crisis, every issue. For that was not Our Lady's approach: The Virtue of Silence - Pax Orbis
The beautiful meditation is from Divine Intimacy1 explains some aspects of Our Lady’s role as Co-Redemptrix, particularly Her silence and humility, as well as Her deep love for souls. These virtues provide a blueprint for those consecrated to Our Lady and are a poignant theme for contemplation during Holy Week. The meditation also expresses a fundamental principle of apostolic work, particularly of pro-life work: the prioritising of prayer over activity. Presence of God O Mary, Queen of Apostles, obtain for me the heart of an Apostle. Meditation 1. Mary is, at the same time, the model of both contemplative and apostolic souls. Furthermore, by combining in herself the highest contemplative life with the highest apostolic life, she teaches us that contemplation and the apostolate, far from being opposed to other, complement, support, and maintain each other. When the contemplative life – considered as an assiduous seeking after union with God-is really fervent, it cannot fail to enkindle …
Ten days ago, LifeSiteNews broke a story about then-Father Robert Prevost taking part in a Pachamama ritual in 1995. There seems little doubt that this unfortunate event did, in fact, take place and so, in honour of the occasion and in remembrance of the late Pope Francis, I offer the following article from 2019. It describes the culture of the indigenous Amazon tribes who worshipped, among a bloodthirsty pantheon, the goddess Pachamama. For all the gods of the Gentiles are devils – Psalm 95:5 The real ‘face of the Amazon’: a culture of …

For all the gods of the Gentiles are devils – Psalm 95:5 Infanticide and suicide have traditionally been part of the culture in many parts of the Amazon region. So why does the working document for October’s Pan-Amazon Synod suggest that the Catholic Church ‘puts on an Amazon face’? by Kathy Clubb The synod will focus on a group of countries that surround Latin America’s Amazon Basin; that is Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guyana, Guyana, Perú, Venezuela and Surinam. When announcing the synod, Pope Francis called on the Church to “find …
Last week’s death of a young Spanish woman by euthanasia shocked the world. Although her father fought for eighteen months to have to procedure stopped, he was overruled by the Spanish courts. At the eleventh hour, Noelia’s best friend – someone who may have been able to talk Noelia out of going ahead with her death – was denied access. When there was question of yet another legal intervention, authorities stated that was not possible: Noelia’s organs had been targeted for harvesting, earning millions for their sale. This case speaks to a cascade of tragedies which ended in a young woman being failed at every turn, and paying the ultimate price to a society which unashamedly exploits the vulnerable. Noelia Castillo Ramos was a 25-year-old woman from Barcelona, Spain, who will end her life through euthanasia on 26 March, after a long legal battle. Her controversial case has attracted widespread media attention in Spain. Noelia Castillo Ramos shortly before her death The last few …
With so much going on, many of us feel like hunkering down and trying to shut out the world. Yet Vinicius reminds us that there is always work for us to do, in order to bring about the Social Reign of Christ. Viva Christo Rey! At a time when it is tempting for Catholics to “circle the wagons” by forming insular communities, the obligations remains for us to create tangible expressions of the Christian West. Making the Christian West visible again - Pax …

A well written piece. It explains a lot. The communism was never alone, indeed. Dragon has two wingss as usual. I've heard before that in a certain time there were a bunch of people who wished to be a rulers of the world, who sat in one room somewhere in London making a plan how to establish those very tools, the two wings of Dragon, making them working together but seemingly against each other. ..
In this extract from the book, ‘Unholy Craft’ by Arnaud de Lassus, the author relates the method used by an infiltrator to convince a Catholic priest to become involved with Freemasonry. In Italy, in 1999, a book was published anonymously entitled Via col vento in Vaticano and, according to the editor the French version, “would have come from a group of high-ranking Vatican dignitaries who chose to break the law of silence.” It is a collective work describing various disorders affecting the Holy See. The chapters are not all of equal value and some call for serious reservations. Chapter 18, The Smoke of Satan in the Vatican, deals with Freemasonry and, in four very interesting pages, explains the process used to entice prelates to affiliate to the craft. There is a real novitiate for recruiting ecclesiastics to the Masonic order. Among ecclesiastics, there is a certain category of men in which Masonry seeks possible collaborators; these must combine certain gifts: keen intelligence …
Damian Keller argues that, for the good of the Church, and in obedience to Our Lady’s warnings, the Society of St. Pius X must go ahead with consecrations of new bishops – with or without the permission of Rome. by Damian Keller As one who is a volunteer within the SSPX and given the duties of caring for the Society’s priests at a Priory, I know very well the circumstances and why the SSPX is acting out of necessity in these tumultuous times befalling the world. I have also listened CLOSELY to what Our Lord and Blessed Mother have had to say in the past as well as other prophesies by the Saints and Blesseds concerning what is swiftly approaching. Malachi Martin, who read the Third Secret, and advised to “keep your eyes on the sky”. had also foretold of what would happen to the hierarchy. I’m watching the sky and I don’t like what the sun has been doing in response to what is being done to the Church. The Miracle of The Sun was also a warning. Bishops Gallarata and Bemard Fellay are …
@V.R.S. well stated! Some of the conservative bishops were the worst wreckovators in the aftermath of the Council b/c even though they were appalled with the deconstruction i.e. adding the people's table, stripping the sacred art, and ripping out kneelers, they did it in the name of, well Peter speaks and we must follow!
A mix of truth and nonsense. That "hyperpapalism" made easier for modernists to hijack the Church with Paul VI leading the "Council" and its revolution, and almost all the bishops blindly following it, is a historical fact.
This is the text of two letters written by Archbishop Lefebvre in 1988, just prior to the illicit consecrations. They show what was on his mind that that time - the salvation of souls and the good of the Church. Archbishop Lefebvre to his bishops-elect
Press release of February 2, 2026 – SOURCE: SSPX News On this February 2, 2026, feast of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin, Fr Davide Pagliarani, Superior General of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X, in Flavigny-sur-Ozerain, France, publicly announced its decision to entrust the bishops of the Fraternity with the task of carrying out new episcopal consecrations, on the 1st of July. Last August, he requested the favour of an audience with the Holy Father, letting him know his desire to filially explain to him the present situation of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X. In a second letter, he explicitly opened up about the particular need of the Fraternity to ensure the continuation of the ministry of its bishops, who have travelled the world for nearly forty years to respond to the numerous faithful attached to the Tradition of the Church and desiring that the sacraments of Orders and Confirmation be conferred, for the good of their souls. After having matured his …
The SSPX will do what they need to do to survive. Rome will either excommunicate them or they won’t. The end. The last time Rome excommunicated them for this sort of thing (1988) it backfired and the SSPX grew exponentially. Rome eventually had to revoke the excommunications (2009). If Rome does it again, it will only backfire again, bigger this time.
Paul Kramer 24 Jan 2026 WHAT THE HYSTERICAL MAGA CROWD AND THEIR FÜHRER WILL ACCOMPLISH -- GLOBAL COMMUNISM Today I was struck with the understanding of why a political grouplet of Americans (the MAGAtard Trump supporters) are rabidly in favour of being stripped of their basic, constitutionally guaranteed civil and religious rights -- and in blind enthusiasm, cheer on the tyrant who robs them of their most cherished birthright as Americans -- their LIBERTY. As with the rabid supporters of Hitler and Stalin, they believe the verse in the Psalms applies to them: "Though a thousand fall at your side, and 10,000 at your right side, you it will not touch." As long as they rabidly support their Leader or Führer, they enjoy the favour of the commanding heights. They don't need rights. They think they have something better -- immunity, impunity. The wrath of the State's punishing arm won't touch them, but will strike only the "others". But when the Supreme Leader's realm and power unravel, he …More
Some of the raddest Trads fail to reject the errors found in the Novus Ordo and the textual problems of Vatican II, proposing instead to rewrite the very constitution of the Church. A new offering from Vinicius.
"The abduction of Venezuela’s head of state (which cost eighty Venezuelan lives and was not preceded by a declaration of war) and his arraignment before a New York court epitomises how far secularist Western society has departed from the old Christian West. In more Christian times, regardless of the moral caliber of a society’s leader, he was treated with respect by other states because of his position, no matter the ferocity of their differences." Secularism, the new barbarism?
Please don't forget that Biden put a $20 million dollar bounty for the capture and arrest of Maduro. Maduro was lawfully arrested, and brought to stand trial for cocaine exportation and supporting drug cartel activities—in which he was the head. /St. George of Hyperlink ✞
There is plenty of evidence to show that Bishops and Cardinals who attended Vatican Council II were concerned from the start about its timing, its content and the serious omissions found in its documents. The Council Fathers on Vatican II
A 1987 interview with Archbishop Lefebvre, which reveals his mind prior to the 1988 consecrations. "Today however, it is the Faith itself which is at stake. I sense that the ‘conciliar’ Church changes and places the very centre of the Catholic Faith in danger. For this reason obedience is no longer possible; for even the Pope does not have the power to change the Faith, he is but a servant of the Faith. To accept Religious Liberty, Ecumenism, the Conciliar Reforms, would appear to me to be contributing to the ‘auto-demolition’ of the Church. In conscience, that is not possible for me. The Liberalism of the Pope is destroying the Catholic Faith from within." “If it is my duty, I will consecrate bishops”
@Agatha James Scary stuff! I got stuck at the demons part. " Resist the devil, and the devil will be your friend!" According to Venerable Mary of Agreda any demon would instantaneously destroy the whole human race if God allowed it to! Oh brother!
