I appreciate your Substack and I appreciate your reporting on these things. Many people, including religious who are way too trusting, and laity who are way too trusting, need to know the truth about this new pope! He is a Modernist in the same line as Francis and others , post Vatican 2.

‘By their fruits, you shall know them.’ He is making known exactly the way he feels about things by appointing who he is appointed, and by giving honors to these men who are no friends to our Lord Jesus Christ. 🙏🏻

May God have mercy on us who are trying to keep the Faith in this murky mess, and may our Lord guard and protect His Bride, the Catholic Church, against further infiltration, and restore her for His glory, and for the sake of souls!!

Yes, but with a suger coating smile & deceptive sprinkles of superficial traditional elements to con the semi-trads, R&Rs, & almost all the deluded V2ers in the pew.

All according to Satan's plan.

I don't think we'll see another valid pope unless God miraculously intervenes. There is no Catholic doctrine that there can't be a long papal interregnum. In fact Blessed Anna Maria Taigi prophesied that Sts Peter & Paul will appear in Rome to the astonishment of all & appoint a pope after a long period with the Chair of Peter held by false popes.

This is from MHFM but I think it worth watching: "Did The Bible Predict 70 Years Without A Pope?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2xYLg0M2LY&t=774s

My opinion: Bergoglio was a usurper and appointed many cardinals who then elected another usurper? Possibly….

RosaryKnight's avatar

Actually, the first modern usurper was John XXIII, the evidence being at whitesmoke1958.com

Siri was validly elected, accepted, took the name Gregory XVII, then was threatened into invalid abdication, John XXIII appearing 2 days later.

There are also theological reasons why John thru Leo cannot be valid popes, seen at novusordowatch.org.

We're in the time of the prophesied Great Apostasy & what Our Lady of La Salette foretold as the "eclipse" of the Church (but not its complete (destruction). See my other replies for more.

True. Hagan Lío XIV is Bergoglio on steroids. He's for sure "making a mess", isn't he?

He would have had the perfect opportunity to bring peace and unity to the Church if he were a saintly man but as soon as he said Francis was in heaven I at least knew he either wasn't very bright but meant well or he was purposefully sowing division, ambivalence, fear and more.

He does seem intelligent, modest, patient, calculated and thus the likelihood that he has a long plan.

I wonder how far he can push things without people like Patrick Coffin being shocked? I wonder what he wants to see the Church look like by the end of his papacy? I would imagine the enemies of the Church want coherence and a new creed eventually; Francis brought the mess, maybe now Leo's job is to clarify things and bring a "new order" out of the chaos of the post conciliar period.

The collective mind of most Catholics has been captured, abused, indoctrinated and now they will perhaps find relief and a "new peace" as things settle down into a new normal. Leo can be the bringer of peace and the unifier but limited to those who want to go along to get along.

Then maybe we get increasing restrictions to the point that growth becomes very difficult, Holy Mass being offered on sports ovals in the rain and so on because there's "no room" in the church buildings. Then maybe we just get ignored and cut off from all decision making, with the hope we fade away and can be forgotten, the Jimminy Crickets of Catholicism, annoying crickets that made an irritating racket.

However, I don't know what their plan is as far as the death of parishes, as we see all the old rebels increasingly talking about their peers who are sick or dying and as their numbers diminish ever more rapidly and seeing as there are basically no males between the ages of 13 and 45 in the NO parishes, unless they are effeminate, devout or if it's one of those churches where the majority are Indian, Vietnamese or Filipino but as we know it is more cultural and these people definitely go along to get along, jab rates and all...

So they know the revenue is disappearing as their supporters die off, they know the TLM parishes are thriving and the $ is pouring in. They know young people aren't brainwashed like the Silent and Boomer generations and they are tech savvy, curious and unhindered by the mental constraints of those who rely on mainstream news sites, tv and radio for their news.

Younger people have been subjected to intensive brain washing, it was just a different style to the Silent and Boomers. But the Church's base is changing and all projections have to be based on what it will look like demographically and culturally in 20 years. We know who will be gone and whose style of dissent will be absent.

We may see militant leftist catholics rise up with a socialist catholic ethos and if they yell loudest with Alinskyist tactics they may gain power.

I spoke with our SSPX priest after Mass today. I asked him if the Society had any priests lined up to be consecrated new bishops. He replied that the Society was letting Leo “settle-in” before asking for a papal mandate for new bishops. I wanted to puke on the spot. My inner thoughts were that the Society would officially petition Rome for more bishops. However, given Prevost’s proclivities, he will most likely deny the request. Besides, it’s obvious he hates tradition and the real Catholic Church. So, that will eventually leave the Society in the same predicament as Archbishop Lefebvre back in 1988. So, it will also mean that the Society will have to decide to consecrate without a “papal” mandate or continue in their heresy of Recognize & Resist modus operandi while moving forward against the wishes of the man they say is the pope. I wish the Sede bishops and priests had more locations to go for Mass. For most Catholics, they live too far away to attend a TLM Mass in person. All I know is that I am angry and frustrated at the bishops and priests of the Society for not going full Sede. It appears that they want to continue the heresy of R&R. Pride is the bi*ch of a mortal sin for the Society.

I hope your anger is not immoderate. Jesus's words re- end times devastation & persecution should apply to us now: "When you see these things, look up and raise your heads, for your redemption is at hand."

If we can't get to a pre-V2 Mass we can use our missal at home or follow a live stream Mass, read or watch a traditional sermon (many are here: tradlatinmass.com/sermons), make a daily spiritual communion & pray the rosary often. We are extremely blessed to know the truth about where the true Chruch is. Let us be thankful, no matter what SSPX does.

My anger is justified towards the heresy of R&R, not towards the priest personally.

I don't understand the blindness of the SSPX. You would think enough of the SSPX priests would have such a fatherly concern for the flock as to keep them far away from the filth and fangs of V2 and its 'Roman' frauds; but no. Kyrie eleison. Some SSPX pundits would be happy for Novus Ordo bishops to be brought into the mix to kick off a new era of 'ordinations'. SSPX = a shepherd sits down with a wolf to discuss his sheep.

The main reason the Society does not “get it” is because they do not want to admit that the Sedevacantists are right.

I will never understand sedevacantists who attend SSPX Masses. Why assist at a Mass in which the priest will, publicly and liturgically, profess communion with a man sedevacantists do not hold to be pope? If the answer is, "It's still a valid Mass," then one is implicitly also justifying the schismatic act of attending valid but illicit Orthodox liturgies in the same breath.

Al's avatar

Yes, it’s still a valid Mass. Many SSPX priests are actual Sedes, but the leadership tells them not to go public with it. Archbishop Lefebvre said the same thing to the priests he wrongfully expelled from the Society.

Dorothea Ludwig-Wang, Th.M.'s avatar

I find it difficult to believe that there are that many secret sedevacantists among the ranks of the SSPX. The officially policy of the SSPX is to allow only the 1962 liturgy in public celebrations, which means that if someone is a sedevacantist, he is committing an act of deception by using (or attending) a liturgical rite promulgated by a pope he doesn't recognize.

Go back and read the history of Father Cekada and the other priests who begged Lefebvre to go full Sede. Then get back to me.

It's not 1983 anymore. You made the claim that there are a significant number of sedevacantist SSPX priests today, in 2025. The burden of proof isn't on me here, but if you don't want to continue this conversation, that's fine by me too.

The SSPX does not publish how many priests leave the Society over Sede issues. However, for your research purposes, contact the CMRI or the SSPV. They will most likely have a numbers answer to your question.

So, I would like to know who the other 52 Cardinals he gave the Pallium to! Are the also in the Masonic movement/Liberation Theology OR, are they God Fearing men of God?? If these 52 are Catholic, than hopefully the other 2 won't matter much..?? I don't know, just sayin...

One month before the conclave Survival Network for Abused priests published the list of cardinal electors who had protected pedophile priests and Prevost was on it. And the cardinals willingly went ahead and elected him!  So we can forget about the current claimant to the throne of St Peter doing anything about sex abuse in the Catholic Church.

https://www.snapnetwork.org/survivors_respond_to_pope_leo_xiv_s_election_with_grave_concern_about_his_record_managing_abuse_cases

So the best thing we can do is recognize that the papal election was invalid because the cardinals breached the papal law on elections and elected a heretic and support Catholics in the province of Rome to elect a true Catholic pope as was done in the first millenium. Imagine a pope who says and acts like a Catholic!!!

Or else pray that God will miraculously intervene during our time of the prophesied Great Apostasy & "eclipse" of the Church (Our Lady of La Salette) & provide a valid pope, as Blessed Anna Maria Taigi prophesied, mentioned in my other reply.

Folks, the honeymoon is over. Leo is just Francis 2.0 with a predecessor's name and more ornate vestments. He is actually more of a mocker than Francis, since he puts on the air of continuity with tradition yet his outward actions gesture to nothing but more unorthodoxy and modernism. Rome is a sinking boat with too many holes to plug at this point

1 John 4:3 '...every spirit that dissolveth Jesus...is Antichrist.' No Vicar of Christ is anti-Christ. Prevost, a V2 Ravening wolf, just lauded his brother-wolves.

Saint Augustine: “ ‘The mystery of iniquity worketh’, refer only to the wicked and hypocrites who are in the Church, until they reach a number so great as to furnish antichrist with a great people, and that this is the mystery of iniquity, because it seems hidden.” (City of God, Book XX, 19.)
