The Church's nearly 2,000-year history of condemning homosexuality is utterly irreconcilable with the Bergoglio/Prevost blessings and hospitality for this irredeemable perversion. The man is shouting from the rooftops that he is not a valid pope. But what good are ears if they cannot hear?
There's also a nearly 2000 year tradition of not allowing homosexuals into the prieshood or religious life. These days, if it's even asked, it's usually, "Are you able to live a chaste life?" "Yes." "OK - but if you happen to slip, be careful." ("Si non caste, saltem caute.")
3: Finally, as regards those who have already received ordination in this illicit manner, or who will perhaps receive ordination from them, whatever about the validity of the orders, the Church does not nor shall it recognize their ordination, and as regards all juridical effects, it considers them in the state which each one had previously, and the above-mentioned penal sanctions remain in force until repentance.
Too many Catholics, even many traditionalists don't know that Paul VI also shouted from the rooftops - more than Leo even - that he was not a valid pope.
I cannot share the view that Leo is an invalid pope, sadly. The man is pope who the cardinals say is pope. Is he a weak pope? That, at least at present. Is he an anti-pope? Perhaps. Is he upholding the deposit of faith as he has been sworn to do? Not in total, not in essence.
True..these are 'installed' popes by the enemy of The Church..funny how sedes do R&R to justify their abandoning The Church and creating their own 'protest' church..
Apparently, You do not understand the sade vacante position, Jack. They, in fact reject, the R & R position held by among others the Pius X group. While what group you call “The Church” is actually a new 60 year old religion.
I was a sede for 2 1/2 yrs.. sedeWatch dotcom what sedes do is falsely proclaim that the infiltrators are successful over-takers of the See of Rome, hence the entire RCC.. this flies in the face of Christs' promise..60yrs is no biggie..arian crisis lasted for 100s of yrs.. wimps leave the fight..
U can read my story at traditionalCatholicLies.com ..long story short..I asked for the document from CMRI showing the proof that Thuc was given the powers of the Seat to ordain without papal consent.. the 'document' they sent me was clownworld rediculous..turns out all they did was take a pic of a fake 'papal' letter from a marrano Fr. Paul Lesourde' book[around 1929].. claiming it was a letter from Pope Pius XI.. its not..u can even see the print from the back side of the his book page bleeding thru..so then later 'someone' inverted the pic color and had full black background to hide the bleeding text..these people are fraudsters..u can see the whole disection of their proof document on sedewatch.com ..exposing CMRI..
Thank you for this information. Up until this year I was ambivalent about sedevacantism, seeing it as a conscience matter. I learnt a lot a few months ago, from 'accidental' personal involvement with it (online) which had unwittingly gone on for 10 years in my financial support of 'sede' nuns, followed up by a Priest who wanted to visit and remarry me to settle my conscience (which wasn't disturbed), despite the canonical law about marriage having the presumption of validity until a COMPETENT authority says otherwise. Whilst I dare say not all sedes act like this, it's a highly dangerous mess. I did a fair amount of research whilst dealing with this situation and am not at all surprised about your post contents. I'll be reading up your links.
nobody protested.. it was the result of infiltration from the boleshevik plot to destroy the Church.. Bella Dodd..the Church is constantly being attacked by Her enemies..nothing new, really.Might as well stay in Peter's Barque.. there's no place to go..
nobody protested..the laity never protested.. it was infiltration into the magesterium..an organized assault on the Church..V2 was the ultimate result of their bolshevic effort starting from the 1920s..if u havent watched Bella Dodd before congress, please do..
the ape of the Church are all the imposter fake 'catholic' sede churches.. they take advantage of the assault on the RCC and promote their own church..pretending to provide sacraments when they were never sent by Christ..the readily admit they are OUTSIDE the Jurisdiction of See of Rome.. buyer beware..
The church may have condemned homosexuality theoretically, but let’s face facts. Saint Peter Damien wrote “Liber Gommorahianus” for a reason, and he wrote it in the middle of the 11th century. That’s a millennium ago.
When push comes to shove, the Catholic Church doesn’t give a rip about homosexuality, especially for its clerics. That is why God is going to punish and destroy this abomination of a church.
Let me put it another way: if God doesn’t judge Rome, then he owes Sodom and Gomorrah an apology.
As has been said by many, "Jesus Christ and the Catholic Church are one thing, one entity." There is salvation only in the Church Jesus established, under Peter's authority, under Mary's mantle of intercession and gathered around the altar of sacrifice at every Mass.
It was in the first edition of JPII's catechism that they claimed homosexuals were born that way. Evidently enough influential people caught that and in the next edition that statement was omitted.
Look at what the current catechism says about homosexuality and see how far removed from it the conciliar church has gone:
2357 Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex. It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in different cultures. Its psychological genesis remains largely unexplained. Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity,140 tradition has always declared that "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered."141 They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved.
2358 The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible. This inclination, which is objectively disordered, constitutes for most of them a trial. They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided. These persons are called to fulfill God's will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord's Cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition.
2359 Homosexual persons are called to chastity. By the virtues of self-mastery that teach them inner freedom, at times by the support of disinterested friendship, by prayer and sacramental grace, they can and should gradually and resolutely approach Christian perfection.
The sheer hypocrisy of this episode is disturbing. When Francis pulled these stunts people were all over him like a rash for causing confusion etc etc but not apparently Leo. Because he’s nice, because we like him he has to be given time - it’s his duty to hear all sides don’t ya know. This is the dictionary definition of hypocrisy.
He’s got a bit more sense of presence about him than Francis I think - spiritually speaking I would say Francis was too far gone especially by the end but I don’t think this guy is a lost cause yet though if he carries on this road he will be
I am still very curious about Leo IV - who he actually is, his history, and if he, too, is part of the lavender mafia. The signs certainly point to it. This is a reply I gave to Gene Thomas Gomulka's (himself a former priest who saw and knows a lot about that mafia) recent post, "Predator, Homosexual, or Both? "What I meant is circumstantial evidence he is a homosexual himself, although I do think the evidence is strong in support of that, especially the likelihood of his being targeted in high school and seminary, etc. He certainly looked the type that was targeted by predators when he was young, very sensitive, almost effeminate. I’m saying this without stating outright that he is homosexual. I don’t know but he’s definitely proving his allegiance to the lavender mafia." [Petite Fleur]
I can see why you’d say he has an effeminate energy and maybe that is part of my empathy. I don’t have that energy now but I certainly did in my lost years, it was why my journey with the Holy Spirit has been giving me a harder heart in many ways but not really just more masculine. Certainly the Adversary was hyper keen in my lost years in accentuating that side of me so I can certainly see that angle. For me though I was never homosexual and circumstantial evidence is not enough to convict Leo of this in my eyes - that mistake was often made with me in my past. What his effeminate nature will do though is make him prone to cuckolding and that maybe what we see here is that and I have to be honest if you look at the pictures he does look cucked - Martin looks like the dominant figure and an alien would probably assume Martin was the boss not Leo.
I quite agree that’s why I can’t say he is, nor would I say so. I’ve known very sensitive-looking guys in the past who were preyed upon simply because of their sensitive nature and being judged a certain way. As Mr. Gomulka points out in his article, though, the damning issue for Pope Leo IV is his protection of bishops and priests who are known predators and his promotion of them. As Gomulka says in his response to me, “The main point is not so much about his orientation or past behavior, as much as how that will affect his ministry. If you were raped by a priest like Father Rupnik who raped over 20 nuns, would you not want justice? Remember, only the pope can discipline a bishop and there are over 150 credibly accused bishops whom he has yet to discipline. How can Leo discipline them if they know he’s dirty like them? Francis lifted the sanctions Benedict imposed on McCarrick because Francis knew that McCarrick learned how Francis was abusing novices in Argentina like he was abusing seminarians in New Jersey. It’s called blackmail.”
Let me be quite clear - a member of the Clergy who partakes in such activity is an abomination because they have abused the innocent and abused the trust of their position- they have literally spat on the throne of Heaven and must be subject to the harshest penalties. Excommunication is what I would argue for with the possibility of a return following intensive and I mean intensive and proven repentance and only then to the laity, never again to the Clergy. So I am in no way going to defend a Pope or anyone covering the worthless backsides of these people. That being said our conversation is looking to take a deep dive into Pope Leo’s persona and what you say is kind of Satan being Satan in the sense that Satan will often take something good, a self sacrificing love of others, and twist it to his own ends. The problem with loving others without the Holy Spirit is that you become a people pleaser. Now God does not want people pleasers, it’s not going to get us through the narrow gate if we appease and seek to please people in their broken state we are gonna end up doing things we most definitely should not. I can’t help feeling that is a factor here as will be spiritual blindness - spiritual blindness is often the most visible of the unclean spirits and the most visible symptom of spiritual uncleanliness. I mean if we are honest Leo is still trying to please Pope Francis and he’s dead (current location unknown) which means the ghost of Francis still haunts the Vatican like well this rather grotesque zombie. This is the problem here, the self sacrificing love of others is a seed of Grace but Satan will try and grab hold of that and twist and pervert it into something else.
Boom! Excellent, thank you! Chris, you may want to write a piece on the insano UN Agenda 2030, and how it's completely tainted our hierarchy and how it serves as a perfect distraction, as I don't think most people know how thorough (and poisonous) it truly is. God speed -
To go along with watering down the faith, our Bishop here in Charlotte Diocese wishes us to call him Bishop Mike like he’s a bro and not the shepherd of his flock. To me that’s like Jesus being portrayed with Raybans and a peace symbol necklace leading his followers down the road to discipleship while smoking a joint.
This weekend is our annual Eucharistic Congress in Charlotte. I’ve read a lot are choosing to not attend b/c of our new Bishop. Chris Stefanick is the guest speaker this year.
ALSO living in residence in our diocese thanks to “Bishop Mike” is Casey Cole who’s meh about praying the rosary among other issues. The Bishop brought him in plus two other Friars as a way to appeal to the youth in Diocese hence the “Bishop Mike”.
“At his general audience, Leo XIV offered his meditation on Christ’s “I thirst.” Once again, the Crucifixion is reframed not as the Sacrifice of the Son to the Father, but as a parable of mutual dependency. Jesus is presented not as Redeemer offering satisfaction for sin, but as a man “not self-sufficient” who shows us that asking for help is the highest spirituality.”
The true explanation of Jesus’ last words from the Cross as given to Venerable Mary of Agreda in the 4-volume work, “The Mystical City of God.”
“[Jesus] grieved that his copious and superabundant Redemption, offered for the whole human race, should not be effcacious in the reprobate and that He should find Himself deprived of them in the eternal happiness, for which He had created and redeemed them. As this was to happen in consequence of the decree of his Father's eternal will, He lovingly and sorrowfully complained of it in the words: "My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?" that is, in so far as God deprived Him of the salvation of the reprobate.
In confirmation of this sorrow the Lord added:
"I thirst!" The sufferings of the Lord and his anguish could easily cause a natural thirst. But for Him this was not a time to complain of this thirst or to quench it; and therefore Jesus would not have spoken of it so near to its expiration, unless in order to give expression to a most exalted mystery. He was thirsting to see the captive children of Adam make use of the liberty, which He merited for them and offered to them, and which so many were abusing. He was athirst with the anxious desire that all should correspond with Him in the faith and love due to Him, that they profit by his merits and sufferings, accept his friendship and grace now acquired for them, and that they should not lose the eternal happiness which He was to leave as an inheritance to those that wished to merit and accept it. This was the thirst of our Savior and Master; and the most blessed Mary alone understood it perfectly and began, with ardent affection and charity, to invite and interiorly to call upon all the poor, the afflicted, the humble, the despised and downtrodden to approach their Savior and thus quench, at least in part, his thirst which they could not quench entirely. But the perfidious Jews and the executioners, evidencing their unhappy hard-heartedness, fastened a sponge soaked in gall and vinegar to a reed and mockingly raised it to his mouth, in order that He might drink of it. Thus was fulfilled the prophecy of David:
"In my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink" (John 16,
28; Ps. 68, 22). Our most patient Savior tasted of it, partaking of this drink in mysterious submission to the condemnation of the reprobate. But at the instance of his blessed Mother He immediately desisted; because the Mother of grace was to be the portal and Mediatrix of those who were to profit of the Passion and the Redemption of mankind.”
Myrtsie, thank you for this post. It is a beautiful reminder to us how much God loves us. My heart breaks for Him. Also, I’m attending a “catacomb” Mass this Sunday that you suggested in a prior reply to me. Ave Maria!
I remember reading, a while back, something by Bl. Anne Catherine Emmerich about a fake church being built, with none of its aspects from God. Sure likes like it's in our midst now.
I always respected Michael Matt’s passion. But he lost me permanently by cancelling Abp. Viganó at last year’s CIC. That incident foreshadowed Trad Inc.’s radio silence after Prevost. Because Prevost’s continuation of Bergoglio’s apostacies puts sedevacantism squarely on the table for legitimate discussion.
I'm not sure how much Merton violated his vow of chastity but it is known he had a relationship with a nurse who tended him when he was in the hospital and he fathered a child with her. There's also the report that when certain people would come visit him in his hermitage, he would have them bring a case of beer and a bottle of liquor, bourbon, I believe. And we know how intemperance in drink often leads to sins of the flesh.
Merton fathered a child back in his college days (before he was a monk or even a Catholic). And yes, he had a relationship with a nurse in his middle age, but he repented of that and chose to remain a monk. I’m talking about the “quote” though, not his personal life. I don’t recognize it from his work and am wondering if it’s sheer invention.
That’s actually not true - he died well in the Church, is buried at the monastery which he never left, and was every bit as critical of the destruction wrought by Vatican II as this Substack. His writings have brought many people to Christ who had previously closed the door on the Church - but you certainly don’t have to read him if he’s not your cup of tea, for sure.
John Cleese says humor is all about timing. You are the master of Traditional timing. You are at least as funny, if not more funny, than Mario Dirksen of Novus Ordo Watch. (Sp?) . Thank you .
I think the Trad,Inc knows that the persecution of the authentic catholics will be much worse under this new highly manipulative regime. They want a cushy life, writing books etc. GOOD LUCK! I chose truth!
You will find something every single day that is blasphemous, a sacrilege, a new evil to accept, another way to re-crucify Christ that those in this abominable counterfeit church say or do. What else can they do as they despise Christ and His Church?
The Doug and Dave Show is proud to present “Mass Confusion,” which explores the Catholic Faith within the context of the Mass. The show shares the beauty, history and mystery of the source and summit of our Faith — in an engaging manner that draws the attention of all ages and backgrounds.
Please never stop writing the Truth Chris!!! A million thank yous!
I came upon your writings because of the grace of God. And I do not feel alone anymore.
God bless you, Mary love you always and Joseph keep you safe!
Thanks!

The Church's nearly 2,000-year history of condemning homosexuality is utterly irreconcilable with the Bergoglio/Prevost blessings and hospitality for this irredeemable perversion. The man is shouting from the rooftops that he is not a valid pope. But what good are ears if they cannot hear?
There's also a nearly 2000 year tradition of not allowing homosexuals into the prieshood or religious life. These days, if it's even asked, it's usually, "Are you able to live a chaste life?" "Yes." "OK - but if you happen to slip, be careful." ("Si non caste, saltem caute.")
There may be such a 2,000-year tradition, but it has been violated for 2,000 years, Read "The Corrupter of Boys" by Dyan Elliott.
thats hilarious if only u would knew the history of Arbshp Thuc and how many homos he 'ordained'..lol..
What individual bishops do is different from what Catholic tradition, laws & disciplines state.
The Thuc line is accountable for a number of sedevacantist 'Bishops'. They are all suspect in validity.
Do you know what makes their validity suspect?
Vatican archive:
3: Finally, as regards those who have already received ordination in this illicit manner, or who will perhaps receive ordination from them, whatever about the validity of the orders, the Church does not nor shall it recognize their ordination, and as regards all juridical effects, it considers them in the state which each one had previously, and the above-mentioned penal sanctions remain in force until repentance.

Can you please tell us their names?

Sorry, Pope Leo XIV, not IV.
Since when is 'nice' a virtue? Our Lord was not seen as nice but He was kind.
I mean this is a completely fair point but the words can be used pretty interchangeably

He was thirsting to see the captive children of Adam make use of the liberty, which He merited for them and offered to them, and which so many were abusing. He was athirst with the anxious desire that all should correspond with Him in the faith and love due to Him, that they profit by his merits and sufferings, accept his friendship and grace now acquired for them, and that they should not lose the eternal happiness which He was to leave as an inheritance to those that wished to merit and accept it. This was the thirst of our Savior and Master; and the most blessed Mary alone understood it perfectly and began, with ardent affection and charity, to invite and interiorly to call upon all the poor, the afflicted, the humble, the despised and downtrodden to approach their Savior and thus quench, at least in part, his thirst which they could not quench entirely. But the perfidious Jews and the executioners, evidencing their unhappy hard-heartedness, fastened a sponge soaked in gall and vinegar to a reed and mockingly raised it to his mouth, in order that He might drink of it. Thus was fulfilled the prophecy of David:
"In my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink" (John 16,
28; Ps. 68, 22). Our most patient Savior tasted of it, partaking of this drink in mysterious submission to the condemnation of the reprobate. But at the instance of his blessed Mother He immediately desisted; because the Mother of grace was to be the portal and Mediatrix of those who were to profit of the Passion and the Redemption of mankind.”

Myrtsie, thank you for this post. It is a beautiful reminder to us how much God loves us. My heart breaks for Him. Also, I’m attending a “catacomb” Mass this Sunday that you suggested in a prior reply to me. Ave Maria!
Meg this is an answer to prayer! May God be praised!!! BTW I just discovered Louis Verrechio and he can be found at akacatholic.com.
He is doing a series on catholic family podcast on Youtube about the errors of the 16 documents of Vatican II.

Glory to Jesus Christ!
I remember reading, a while back, something by Bl. Anne Catherine Emmerich about a fake church being built, with none of its aspects from God. Sure likes like it's in our midst now.
Our Mother of Perpetual Succour, aid us!
Yes, and Venerable Fulton Sheen also spoke of the "ape of the church': there will be outside trappings but no substance inside.
Glory to Jesus Christ, Magdalene!
True.
Amen.
This is just more & more disturbing!!!!
Has Michael Matt retracted his 'Zip it' yet?
I always respected Michael Matt’s passion. But he lost me permanently by cancelling Abp. Viganó at last year’s CIC. That incident foreshadowed Trad Inc.’s radio silence after Prevost. Because Prevost’s continuation of Bergoglio’s apostacies puts sedevacantism squarely on the table for legitimate discussion.
I’m wondering where on earth that “quote” from Merton came from. Without any context, it makes no sense.
I'm not sure how much Merton violated his vow of chastity but it is known he had a relationship with a nurse who tended him when he was in the hospital and he fathered a child with her. There's also the report that when certain people would come visit him in his hermitage, he would have them bring a case of beer and a bottle of liquor, bourbon, I believe. And we know how intemperance in drink often leads to sins of the flesh.
Merton fathered a child back in his college days (before he was a monk or even a Catholic). And yes, he had a relationship with a nurse in his middle age, but he repented of that and chose to remain a monk. I’m talking about the “quote” though, not his personal life. I don’t recognize it from his work and am wondering if it’s sheer invention.
He died outside of the church and his monastery. I never recommend any of his writings.
That’s actually not true - he died well in the Church, is buried at the monastery which he never left, and was every bit as critical of the destruction wrought by Vatican II as this Substack. His writings have brought many people to Christ who had previously closed the door on the Church - but you certainly don’t have to read him if he’s not your cup of tea, for sure.
That absolutely not true. He died in an asian land giving himself over to pagan religions.
Not sure whether escaping to a monastery after “fathering” a child with an unstable “priest chaser” reflects piety or self preservation.
Valid point.
He was in college and neither Catholic nor a priest when he fathered a child.
Oh dear …,so many opinions.
I wonder myself. I've read 7 Story Mountain and No Man is an Island and I don't remember such a quote.
Mr. Jackson’s acuity is surpassed only by its unassailability.
John Cleese says humor is all about timing. You are the master of Traditional timing. You are at least as funny, if not more funny, than Mario Dirksen of Novus Ordo Watch. (Sp?) . Thank you .
I think the Trad,Inc knows that the persecution of the authentic catholics will be much worse under this new highly manipulative regime. They want a cushy life, writing books etc. GOOD LUCK! I chose truth!
You will find something every single day that is blasphemous, a sacrilege, a new evil to accept, another way to re-crucify Christ that those in this abominable counterfeit church say or do. What else can they do as they despise Christ and His Church?
No Latin Mass but instead we have this: https://douganddaveshow.com/mass-confusion/
