And who cares, Leo, since all religions are just swell, ours just a little dandier? If Leo wanted to hear the "cry of the poor," he would preach Christ and Him crucified and eternal life for those faithful to Him. But we almost never hear that from Rome.

Leo comments on the flood victims in Texas - pray for the dead. Fine. But in any such tragedy or mass shooting, have you ever heard a Churchman urge people to try to stay in the state of grace, because life is fleeting and judgment will come, perhaps when least expected? I can't recall of ever hearing that from the new Church.

And who said, Catholic Church is sole means of salvation, and it is very, very small. no residenet Priests in Texas. We are called a Mission here in Austin, tx!!! 11th biggest city in USA.

Prevost Inc. has no love of God, no love of neighbour, no supernatural faith.

"Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look down to the earth beneath : for the heavens shall vanish like smoke, and the earth shall be worn away like a garment, and the inhabitants thereof shall perish in like manner : but My salvation shall be forever, and My justice shall not fail." (Isaias 51:6)

The V2 occupation continues, the Church mourns, we have no pope.

When will Novus Ordo “Catholics” finally realize that they no longer belong to the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church?

most when Jesus tells them at their final judgement or when we get a true Pope- or when Virgin Mary mercifully takes them out of it.

It is such a dark, dark deceipt... people will not get it. I have tried and will continue, but I am batting 0%

I go to TLM at ICKSP to worship God. The ancient texts speak clear, timeless truth. The liturgy lifts the heart to God and gives us a glimpse of the Invisible World. When the TLM began to return, it was the north star I used to navigate back to the Church after decades outside it, after I fled the Novus Ordo.

I remember, as a teen in the 70s, how the new Novus Ordo Masses turned into civil rights struggle sessions where radical priests confronted us. Somehow the homilies always centered on "workers," "liberation movements" in Central America, and the Grape Pickers, who were over 2000 miles away. Not that I despise any of those things, but I questioned why I had to get up on Sunday and sit through that awful Mass for something exclusively man-centered, with content the same as on popular talk shows, etc. My heart craved God...so I fled. But I had no where to go...(Sadly, I had no way of knowing about The Remnant, the SSPX, etc.)

I remember the last Mass I bothered to go to - an Easter. The relatable priest lazily leaned on the podium , sneering at us, as usual, because we were backward working class Mill Hunkies, a demographic it was kosher to look down on, whose homily went something like, Everything is going on just fine in Heaven; we instead need to focus on improving the lives of Our Brother the Other. (That this guy was a real piece of work with a secret family for over a decade who ended up defrocked was not a shock later.)

After abandoning the New Church, I wandered in the desert for decades, but I guess I always had in my heart the knowledge of what worshipping God *really* was.

After returning to a superb Traditional parish 6 years ago, I asked myself, "Was it all as bad as I remember?" So, I started reading the Diocesan magazine from the time period, and yes, and it was even worse than I remembered it. I can't say I regret the decades away from the Church.

BergoLEO's Eco Mass is just the latest edition of the Struggle Session Liturgy with the current fashionable worldly cause.

No thanks.

If they crack down on ICKSP, I will not go to the Novus Ordo. I will go from skeptical Traditionalist to full Sede.

so, what if they don't get harder ? Is your pastor a Catholic Priest? do they teach the Catholic Faith in its entirety?

I view your groups as the 2nd wave of greaat apostasty/

The first led vast majority out of Catholic faith

2nd, you are in, here, you can be Catholic - jsut call these idolators "Pope" and just ignore them.

you go against Pope Paul IV, Saint Paul If I or an angel from Heaven...

Red flag after red flag after red flag. I pondered… is he simply misguided due to his malformed theology or does he serve the god of this world? Conclusion: It doesn’t really matter when you’re dragging souls to Hell.

he has had access to Catholic teaching. And I know this for a fact- sedes are everywhere, and very vocal. I am 100% sure he has been told many of his heresies. no doubt at all.

that pertinacity issue sspx bring up... Jesus will rebuke them harshly. the longer I am a sede, the dumber and in some cases of their hierarchy, the more evil they appear to be

You nailed it. The Church is worshipping itself like a narcissist looking in a mirror.

It is unfortunate that Leo and Fernandez's Vatican gave the seal of approval for apparitions in Litmanova (Slovakia) as it automatically casts doubt on them. Also, what they chose to present is not the real message. I grew up in the general (broader) geographical area where these apparitions took place so I have been familiar with them since 1990ies, although I never visited the site. Interestingly, both visionaries belong to the Byzantine Catholic Church. There is more to these apparitions than what is presented in the Vatican approval - there is a call to conversion, repentance, and prayer. It is not just "Jesus loves you let's be happy". The apparition there introduced herself as Immaculate Purity and the call to convert and pray is central to her messages. As an example, this is a part of her last message: "My beloved children! I wanted this to happen, to wake you up from the dream of emptiness, so you may understand the need for conversion. In this time, conversion is essential! Please, I beg you. I will remain on this mountain. Reflect on my messages! Stay in my heart during this time! Stay, for you must become more vigilant and simple... The time that is coming has already begun. Remain like children - completely free for God." More complete information about the apparitions in English is here: https://litmanova.net/1990.html

There are also some very interesting comments from one of the visionaries about these apparitions, but only some fragments of these remain online in Slovak (you can use Google translate): https://slovenskydohovorzarodinu.sk/clanky/litmanova-vyjadrenia-ivetky-korcakovej-k-posolstvam/ The gist of these is the urgent need to convert and grow in our prayer life. Because very difficult times are coming, times of purification. I do not claim to be able to judge authenticity of these messages, but I believe there is more substance there than what I have seen presented today in the various blog posts and media. Note that these apparitions have had the support of the local bishop essentially from the beginning.

So we now have the UN, NATO, WHO, WEF, UNESCO, EU, G7, BRICS, NAFTA ... and the CWS (Catholic World Synod). Gotta run and book my spot in the Catacomb!

secret societies use fake crises as way to consolidate power. which means their father, satan , is behind this.

Grow up! conspiracies happen ALL THE TIME, everywhere.

To other readers, this is not just another sedi situation. Events will escalate quickly. St Malachys papal list ended with Pope Benedict on 111th. View Bergoglio and Prevost as the same reign of what St Francis described as The Destroyer. Bergoglio’s reign hasn’t ended just yet… expect some more twists and turns. But certainly expect separation and persecution dead ahead. Only through direct divine intervention can the visible Church be torn down and rebuilt. 112th was St Peter, proven by the facts and events that occurred in Argentina on Bergoglio’s 2023 birthday. 113th is the Just Judge, Jesus Himself. All of Bergoglio’s intentions of usurping will come to pass. View the chaos in the Middle East, the financials woes and the gene therapy in humanities blood through mRNA as testimony to the prophetic times the Church now faces. The world can not exist without a faithful Catholic Church. So don’t expect pockets of faith just to continue on waiting for a faithful pope without major consequences to unfold. Much has been already primed.

It's been particulaly ugly since 2013,,, but Ratz, John Paul II , Paul VI etc were wicked apostates. This cannot be doubted. Sure Frances was a very crude person who did not try to hide his apostasy (except when he was talking to pius people) but the vides of these other apostates worshipping wih Jews, Muslims, pagans are very numerous... for those with eyes to see
