It is all one choreography: the velvet glove and the hidden knife. The ancient liturgy is allowed just long enough to reassure the flock that nothing essential has changed, while the machinery that forbids it everywhere else hums quietly in the sacristy.

Zip It Or Zip It, That Is The Question?

A Church that claims zero tolerance keeps finding exceptions for its friends. While Rome trumpeted “independent judges” for Marko Ivan Rupnik, the Centro Aletti rolled on like an extraterritorial duchy. Bishops lodged there as if on spiritual holiday. Clergy cycled through for exercises. Then the center paywalled his summer meditation, monetizing the scandal like a museum gift shop at the exit. No precautionary measures. No meaningful restrictions. Only the little people get laicized. The networked get microphones.

"Everyone can recognize masculine conquistadors or racist SS guards as evil because the evil is out in the open. (I don’t even buy the notion that all the Portuguese colonialists 500 years ago were racist since many married Brazilian Indians and Indonesian islanders.) But today, the evils of leftism and feminism kill more people than either of those (do the math) and they keep recruiting people all over the globe because its evil is not only hidden, but occasionally attractive.
Think about it: Even Bishop Franceseco Savino (Vice-President of the Italian Bishops’ Conference) admitted that Leo approved of the recent blasphemous LGBT pilgrimage in the Vatican (above) and prior sacrilegious Mass at the Gesú. A few weeks later, Islamic prayer rugs were unfurled for Muslims’ use in the Vatican library. Think Muslims and leftists are strange bedfellows now? They’re not. They’re just both anti-christ and pro-death. That’s their overlap. That’s it."More

There is wisdom in refusing the doom-scroll. There is danger in pretending that the wolf disappears when you close your eyes. The laity are not saved by knowing every phrase of the latest encyclical, but they are certainly imperiled when those phrases are used to bulldoze doctrine, suppress the ancient Mass, and re-engineer moral theology at scale. Pray the Rosary. Then keep your sword unsheathed.

The regime just confirmed Josef Grünwidl as archbishop of Vienna: an ecclesiastic publicly sympathetic to the women-“ordination” project, communion for non-Catholics, and the soft demolition of celibacy. Years before this promotion, he was already curating “polyhedral” spirituality: thousands of paper doves strung through a parish nave as an “ecumenical community work,” an airy symbol system where sentiment replaces dogma and aesthetic spectacle papers over doctrinal rupture.

"My earlier article on Dilexi Te offered an immediate assessment of Leo XIV’s first exhortation: the tone, the trajectory, the unmistakable spirit animating it. What follows is the necessary sequel: a closer examination of the document itself and of the theology that underlies it.
This essay traces the ways Dilexi Te diverges from the pre-Vatican II Magisterium, and, at points, even from prior post-conciliar theology. The differences reveal how Dilexi Te twists the Catholic understanding of the poor, recasting what was once a supernatural truth about charity and detachment into a new, horizontal ideology built on envy, activism, and social theory."

Wait and see. This will happen more often.
But I need to say something.
Thank you, our shepherds!
Thank you, Burke, Schneider, Muller & Co!
And a whole bunch of Trad.inc, thank you too!
Thank you for your persistent denial of the main problems, for your silence when you should have thundered, for your great caution when courage is required. Thank you very much that we, who are the flock of God entrusted to you, with the help of your active silence and above all cowardly lukewarmness, have to flee to the hills, scattered everywhere.
But not weakened in Faith. On the contrary!
The more we are persecuted, the more we are strengthened by the Spirit in Faith. But remember well; who is with God, who can be against Him?
And who are you afraid of? What are you afraid of losing? Reputation and comfort? Security and peace? Don't you know that all this is worth nothing to someone who does not truly follow Christ? Christ crucified! So each of you with your own personal cross. You cannot cast off …More

Church attendance of Orphan Girls - Nicolaas van der Waay (1900-1930)

More than 54,000 women in England have been admitted to NHS hospitals for treatment following complications linked to abortion pills since the government introduced pills-by-post in 2020.
Analysis of official data from NHS England and the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID) shows that one in 17 women who manage their abortion at home require hospital care for incomplete abortions or other serious side-effects.

On 11 October 2025, in Saint Peter’s Square, Leo XIV addressed pilgrims from Tuscany:
“Don Lorenzo Milani, prophet of the Tuscan and Italian Church… had as his motto ‘I care’. I urge you not to be passive, and to do your part to shape the face of a Church that cares about people’s lives.”
Those words, spoken before thousands, were deliberate. They echoed Francis’s earlier praise of the same man. Leo knew exactly what he was saying. He was canonizing corruption.
Don Lorenzo Milani (1923 – 1967) was no prophet. He was a priest who wrote letters so vile that even his admirers blush to cite them...More

October 13, 2025—one hundred and eight years to the day since the sun spun and plunged toward the earth before seventy thousand terrified witnesses at Fatima and Leo XIV did not utter a single word about it. Not one.

Was Satan Defeated by his Ignorance of Jesus' Incarnation, Mary's "Marvelellous Conception" & Joseph's Name according to a Disciple of the Apostle John? & Will St. Joseph Save the Church from the "Enemies on every Side"?

Fr. Villa, writing as a lone voice of fidelity in the wake of the Council, documents what few dared to say aloud: that John XXIII’s pontificate marked the conscious opening of the Church to her ancient enemies: Freemasonry, Communism, and modernism itself. His “virtues,” praised by John Paul II as “ecumenical” and “dialogical,” were not the supernatural graces of the saints, but political categories repackaged as holiness. The Church [or better to say- Bergoglio "canonized"] canonized a man precisely for rejecting the theology of every pope before him.

7 VIRTUES and 7 VICES

The Church that once prayed for England’s conversion now congratulates England’s schism. Nichols’s “may we all be one” no longer refers to unity in the Catholic faith but to a bureaucratic ecumenism in which truth itself is impolite. When the shepherd of Westminster kneels before Canterbury, it is not Christ’s prayer he fulfills but Pilate’s question: What is truth?
