Fatima and the Simple Explanation of the Crisis in the Catholic ChurchIt is very simple: we are facing the spiritual disorientation foretold by Our Lady of Fatima because “Vatican II demolished piece by piece the scaffolding constructed by our Lord, and what remained standing [was] bulldozed during the subsequent pontificates.” By rejecting the warnings of the pre-Vatican II popes, John XXIII and the Council’s architects brought about the “suicide of altering the Faith” foretold by Pius XII.A few years before his election to the papacy, Cardinal Eugenio Pacelli (the future Pius XII) sounded a grave warning based on his understanding...

From Constantine’s Cross to the Evil Eye: Rome’s Festival of False GodsAt Constantine’s Arch, Leo XIV lit a candle beside leaders of every creed; at the Vatican, screens glowed with the image of a woman holding the “evil eye.” The symbolism wrote its own commentary.

[Catholic Caucus] Swiss Bishop: All of Francis' Synods Failed - "We Are Going Round in Circles"Ideological activists like Timothy Radcliffe are looking for every semantic loophole in the final document of the ex-synod in order to continue with their homosexual and feminist agendas, Swiss Auxiliary Bishop Marian Eleganti comments in his blog on 2 November."The synodal harvest of the previous synods is meagre," he writes.

When the...

Six cardinals and bishops who condemned pagan ‘Pachamama’ rituals at Vatican October 30, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – Three cardinals and three bishops have separately voiced opposition to paganism in Church ceremonies in the Vatican surrounding the Amazon Synod, including the Oct. 4 pagan ceremony in the Vatican Gardens where people bowed down and worshiped the Pachamama idol as Pope Francis and other top-ranking prelates looked on.  Catholics around the world were indignant to not only see the pagan statues present in various ceremonies, but to see Pope Francis actually bless one of them during the Vatican Gardens ceremony. He was...
