"In the 3rd century BC, King Pyrrhus of Greece went to war against the Romans. Initially, his forces were victorious, but the casualties they sustained were so high that Pyrrhus was unable to win a more decisive later battle. From this historical failure is derived the term, Pyrrhic victory, which has come to mean a victory which is hollow: one which loses more than it gains. "Two thousand years later, Italy is again the scene of a Pyrrhic victory; mainstream traditionalist media is claiming a triumph while also sustaining great losses, both of credibility and of personal integrity."

Vinicius provides a fascinating insight into medieval Christendom - the model for the reign of Christ the King. "A glance at a map of the world in A.D. 1600 shows every Westernised territory outside Europe as ruled by Phillip III of Castile (Phillip II of Portugal and Aragon); the first “globalism” was Catholic. This was accompanied by economic and scientific expansion (the world eventually adopted Pope Gregory XIII’s 1582 reform of the calendar, for example), striking advances in government administration, and a military revolution that guaranteed Christian Western hegemony."

The Vatican hosted on October 28 an event to mark 60years of Vatican II's 'Nostra Aetate.' «Le origini [della Kandyan Dance] risalgono ai rituali legati al buddhismo, dove la danza veniva offerta come atto di devozione per portare benedizione, armonia e pace.» → “The origins [of the Kandyan Dance] go back to rituals tied to Buddhism, where the dance was offered as an act of devotion to bring blessing, harmony, and peace.”
"Doorly presents a lucid, incisive and compelling case for criticising various problematic aspects of Council documents and the vernacular liturgy. Aiden Nichols responds with the predictable ambivalent, evasive, neo-conservative and often unsubstantiated apologia for the Hermeneutic of Continuity Thesis. He argues both the controversial documents and the Novus Ordo liturgy are essentially in conformity with Catholic tradition because they are legitimate developments of that tradition." The Council in Question: A brief commentary
Another day, another anti-Catholic promoted in the hierarchy. Behold! This is the Synodal Church which tolerates pagan rituals, heretical and adulterous kings but also TLMs in St. Peter's, so everything is A-OK.
Pope Leo XIV appointed on October 25 Monsignor Jean-Nicolas Rakotojaona, 52, as Coadjutor Bishop of the Diocese of Fianarantsoa, Madagascar. He was ordained a priest for the Archdiocese of Antananarivo on 3 August 2002. Pope Francis appointed him as auxiliary bishop of the Diocese of Morondava in 2023. Theologian trained in Switzerland Between 2011 and 2017, he completed a doctorate in Theology at the University of Fribourg in Switzerland. His thesis is entitled Volonté de 'Fihavanana': Une Comparaison avec l’Observance de la 'Berît' dans le Livre du Deutéronome (Will of 'Fihavanana': A Comparison with the Observance of the 'Berît' in the Book of Deuteronomy). In it, he treats fihavanana (a Malagasy concept of harmony) as a parallel to the biblical covenant (berît), viewing it as a "way of expressing divine relationships". He suggests that biblical interpretation in Madagascar should move directly from the Hebrew text to the Malagasy worldview without mediation through Greco-Latin …More
Important for pro-life work or any other form of apostolate in which Catholics are involved: "Therefore, it is very important to recall frequently this great principle: the interior life is the soul of the apostolate. A deep interior life will generate intense love and intimate union with God, and, therefore, from it will spring a fruitful apostolate, a true sharing in Christ’s work of saving souls; on the other hand, a mediocre interior life can produce only a feeble love and union with God; hence, the resultant apostolate cannot have an efficacious influence on souls." The Soul of the Apostolate
On 16 October, the Italian Bishops’ Conference published their synthesis document for the national synodal journey, titled 'Leaven of Peace and Hope', on ChiesaCattolica.it. It will be voted on by the Third Synodal Assembly of the Churches in Italy on 25 October. The three most ideological quotes are: - Dioceses should commit to promoting the recognition and support of homosexual and transgender individuals, as well as their parents, who are already part of the Christian community, overcoming the discriminatory attitudes sometimes prevalent in ecclesial circles and society. - The Italian Episcopal Conference should support, through prayer and reflection, the 'days' promoted by civil society to oppose all forms of violence and show solidarity with those affected by discrimination (Days against gender violence, discrimination, paedophilia, bullying, femicide, homophobia, transphobia, etc.). - The dioceses should coordinate new programmes for forming relationships and educating people …More
by Pax Orbis contributor, Joseph Bevan. "The ‘problem’ of the Tridentine Mass is going to be solved, one way or another. It has to be, for the obvious reason that the current chaos resulting from Traditiones Custodes is unsatisfactory to everyone. There is no doubt that the ancient rite of Mass divides dioceses, religious orders and parishes. It even internally divides individual clergy as they seek to say both the Novus Ordo and the Old Rite on the same Sunday, causing a type of schizophrenia." Faith, not aesthetics: thoughts on the Latin …
From Pax Orbis contributor, Julia du Fresne: "Carpe diem! When millions around the world are confronted with that visceral choice between God and His ancient enemy, Satan, the Catholic Church must seize the moment and speak the truth, in the media and from pulpits everywhere: “outside the Church there is no salvation”. " Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus: outside the Church …
A few Kentish Martyrs For a little break from scandal and controversy, why not refresh your memory of those beautiful souls who inspire us to fight manfully for the reign of Christ the King? A few Kentish martyrs
Joseph Bevan reflects on three Kentish figures who fell victim to royal wrath for their faith and convictions — St Thomas Becket, Elizabeth Barton, and St John Fisher — arguing that their courage and defiance exemplify the stubborn integrity of Kentish Catholics through history. St Thomas Becket (murdered 1170): Archbishop of Canterbury who opposed King Henry II’s interference in Church affairs. After Henry’s infamous outburst (“Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?”), four knights brutally murdered Becket in Canterbury Cathedral. His death caused outrage across Europe and led to his canonisation. Though Henry performed penance, Bevan suggests his remorse was insincere, as Becket’s death resolved his problems. Becket’s lavish shrine became a major pilgrimage site until Henry VIII destroyed it. Elizabeth Barton (executed 1534): Known as the “Holy Maid of Kent,” Barton was a servant who began receiving prophetic visions. Initially approved by Church leaders, she later …More

Leo and the Legacy of the Seamless Garment The Seamless Garment ideology has pervaded the pro-life community over the past decades. It has accompanied the rise of the secular pro-life movement, eschewing religious arguments against abortion and belittling those who admit that humans are unable to defeat attacks on life without the help of God. The term, “Seamless Garment”, takes its cue for a passage in the Gospel of John, which mentions that the soldiers cast lots for Christ’s tunic as it was “without seam, woven from the top throughout.” (John 19:23-24). Its first use is credited to the Catholic pacifist, Eileen Egan and became part of the “consistent life ethic” philosophy that began to permeate the pro-life community during the 1970’s.
All rights stand on the foundation of the right to life. "Rights" that another (with impunity) can take away by a simple decision to kill you are no rights at all.
ANNOUNCEMENT Friends, I won't be posting any more at my site, Ecclesiastical Freemasonry, having taken on a role at the upcoming site, Pax Orbis. Pax Orbis is a group of traditional Catholics who are dedicated to writing on current affairs (as well as culture and history) in light of the Fatima message. Of your charity, please show this site the same support as you have shown mine over the years. And if you like the content, please subscribe! (Oh yes - they have lots of helpful downloads, too :) ) From now on, I'll be sharing posts from Pax Orbis and here is one example of the articles at this fledgling site: The Errors of Russia Part I
I'm on board and I look forward to your first article! As you know I have been warning Gloriatv readers about the errors of Russia for five years. Dr. Deep State on you tube does a good job breaking them down in terms that indicate both the reds and the blues are victims of these errors! I have firmly believed that out Catholic Faith today hinges upon the message of Our Lady of Fatima! God bless you!
Trad Inc & The Art of War It seems ironic that the same voices that condemn collegiality among the bishops are insisting traditionalist Catholics unite under a milquetoast banner of love, in an effort to secure their Latin Masses. This tactic is flawed and will lead, in some cases, to the most tragic of consequences that can befall a Christian: the loss of his eternal soul. ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/2025/09/30/trad- …
Zipping It for the Greater Good. "Whereas the Common Good must take the needs of everyone into account, the Greater Good always involves the sacrifice of some for the sake of the whole. This principle is never more consequential than in the matter of salvation, where every individual’s soul needs to be considered. For to remain silent when Pope Leo unashamedly continues the agenda of Bergoglio and his conciliar and post-conciliar predecessors does put souls at risk – of despair, of error and of deception." Zipping it – for the Greater Good
The article contrasts the “Greater Good”—where powerful figures decide what is “good” for their own interests—with the Catholic idea of the Common Good, which considers the salvation of every soul. It argues that some traditional Catholic commentators, once vocal critics of Pope Francis (Bergoglio), have gone silent under Pope Leo (Prevost), likely in exchange for securing access to the Latin Mass. This “zip-it” strategy, allegedly encouraged by Cardinal Burke and backed by wealthy traditionalist Catholics, is framed as a deal: financial support for Rome in return for a papacy more palatable to the traditionalist elite. Recently, however, cracks have appeared: some commentators have begun cautiously criticizing Leo, often coinciding with personal projects like book releases. The piece suggests that financial motives and prestige—not doctrine—were at play, and that Trad Inc. (the network of prominent traditionalist media voices) compromised their duty to truth.
The International Pedophile Ring with ties to Queensland A previousarticlelooked at the persecution of a Queensland man who has tried to expose systematic sex abuse at an Anglican boys’ school, The Southport School, from the 1970’s. Robert Johnston claims that Anglican clergy covered up the abuse with the help of a network of Freemasons in the Church of England, the Queensland government, the judiciary and the police force. This article expands on the last, examining the international child sex ring of which The Southport School was only one part. It looks specifically at the heinous pedophile, Clarence Osborne, for whom students at The Southport School were groomed and procured. Osborne played a prominent part in the sex-ring which extended to all the way to the highest levels of the British government. An international pedophile ring with ties to QLD
Pope Leo urges prayer, fasting on August 22 for peace in the world 'I invite all the faithful to live the day of August 22 in fasting and prayer,' Pope Leo said at the close of his Wednesday audience. VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) — Pope Leo called for Catholics to join in prayer and fasting on August 22, a feast of Our Lady, for the intention of peace. Closing his general audience today at the Vatican, Leo XIV urged all the Catholic faithful to join in a spiritual campaign this Friday for peace in the world. August 22 is the feast of the Queenship of Mary, according to the Novus Ordo liturgical calendar, and the Immaculate Heart of Mary in the traditional calendar of the Roman Rite of the Catholic Church. Addressing the crowd, Leo said: Mary is the Mother of believers here on earth and is also invoked as Queen of Peace. As our earth continues to be wounded by wars in the Holy Land, in Ukraine, and in many other regions of the world, I invite all the faithful to live the day of August 22…More
He can’t consecrate Russia without Putin’s permission. One cannot consecrate what one does not have authority over. Putin went to Bergoglio and according to some sources was asking him to consecrate Russia. Bergoglio, if I remember correctly dismissed him. By that I mean just a short cordial meeting that went no where.
Prevost: Making Modernism Palatable As Pope Leo’s papacy progresses, his role in advancing the Revolution is becoming clearer: make Modernism more palatable by gently “developing” his predecessor’s radical and destructive anti-Catholic doctrine.

The World's Most Prominent Ecclesiastical Freemason Last month, Fr. Michael Weninger gave an address at the French National Grand Lodge at which he again attempted to affirm a compatibility between Freemasonry and Catholicism .... Fr. Weninger, said that the “Great Architect of the Universe” is synonymous with the God of the Bible, and that this is the same God “to the Yahweh of the Jews, to the Allah of the Muslims and to the Trinity of the Christians.” This is perfectly consistent with the heresy of indifferentism which is a hallmark of Freemasonry. The World’s Most Prominent Ecclesiastical …
Father Michael Weninger, the former Austrian ambassador who, after becoming a widower, became a priest and served for some time at the Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue. Close to or even fully involved with Freemasonry—he is described on official websites as a lodge chaplain—he made it clear in a conference that being Catholic and a Freemason is no longer incompatible.
Weninger: «Un católico masón ya no está excomulgado» Pero el discurso no se quedó en lo simbólico. El sacerdote austríaco llegó a afirmar que «un católico masón ya no está excomulgado por el mero hecho de su pertenencia a la masonería», y lo celebró con entusiasmo: «¡Es sensacional, ¿verdad?!». Según Weninger, las logias masónicas de tradición anglosajona ya no serían incompatibles con la fe católica. Sin embargo, estas declaraciones no solo ignoran siglos de condenas eclesiásticas, sino que desinforman gravemente a los fieles.
