The conciliar-synodal revolution undermines the authority of the Roman Pontiff and the authority of the Bishops as Successors of the Apostles, dissolving both into spurious entities such as Episcopal Conferences, the Synod of Bishops, and Ecclesial Conferences (recently inaugurated for the Amazonian Church but to be extended to the entire Church according to well-known practice).
Synodality definitively subverts the divine constitution of the Catholic Church and the Roman Papacy: their destruction (through transformation into something else) is the necessary premise for the establishment of the reign of the Antichrist, who requires a State church with an "honorary" papacy presiding over the Religion of Humanity.
Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano |
Control will be in the hands of collegial bodies, in which a small elite will wield power - ostensibly democratic and synodal - without setting any limits: this is the ecclesial version of globalist technocracy.
The process is all too evident from the coherence of the steps that have been taken. Here are the key milestones: 1964 - Episcopal collegiality in Lumen Gentium 1964/65 - Establishment of Episcopal Conferences 1965 - Establishment of the Synod of Bishops (and related reforms of its regulations) 1966 - Retirement of Bishops at 75 1970 - Theorization of the collegial and emeritus papacy (Ratzinger and Rahner) 1995 - Reinterpretation of the papacy from an ecumenical perspective, Ut unum sint 2013 - Theorization of the emeritus papacy (Munus/Ministerium, Renunciation) 2015 - Theorization of Synodality 2020 - Creation of the Amazon Ecclesial Conference (church of the charisms versus ministerial church) 2024 - Theorization of the synodal papacy document “The Bishop of Rome” 2025 - Theorization of the "Church of Charisms"
What motivates the proponents of this "Church of Charisms," this multifaceted (polyhedric) and fluid entity, is the desire to overthrow the katechon, the only earthly (and at the same time divine) institution that can delay the coming of the Antichrist.
The Church must no longer be One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic, and Roman, because there are precisely these Notes that make the Church truly Christ's. She must not derive her authority from Christ the King and Pontiff, but from a people that false shepherds have ensnared in Faith and Morality. And this is Luciferian ὕβρις.

Cardinal Jose Cobo Cano of Spain where the Church is in a state of collapse |
Act I: Madrid’s Rainbow Synod Without a Synod
Madrid’s Cardinal José Cobo warmly welcomed the Global Network of Rainbow Catholics, a coalition of New Ways Ministry, DignityUSA, and assorted activist groups. Their message was unambiguous: “LGBTI rights are human rights and any Christian should defend that.”
In other words, the supernatural mission of the Church is subordinated to the United Nations’ anthropology of self-invention.
One of the featured stars, Fr. James Alison, is an openly homosexual priest laicized for refusing obedience. Francis personally encouraged him in 2017, telling him he had the “power of the keys.” That single phone call has done more damage than any CDF clarification could undo.
Now, under Leo, the rainbow lobby doesn’t even need papal phone calls, they get episcopal red carpets.
The Spanish hierarchy, long a laboratory for progressivism, has transformed dissent into a form of communion. Once you “build bridges,” apparently the only direction they lead is away from Catholic doctrine.
Act II: Denver Parish Rebels Against the Gospel
In Denver, Fr. Daniel Ciucci is under siege. His crime? Preaching about sin, hell, Sunday obligation, and removing “feminist art” from a parish school. Seven hundred and fifty disgruntled parishioners signed a petition accusing him of undermining their “psychological safety.”
Let’s pause here. We live in an age where laity cheer LGBT activists in Madrid but revolt against a priest who warns them about judgment. The Denver Post dutifully framed this as a battle between “fire and brimstone” pre-Vatican II clericalism and the Vatican II “welcoming spirit.”
In truth, it’s simply a priest who still believes that souls go to Hell colliding with parishioners who believe church is group therapy with stained glass.
The irony is that Archbishop Aquila, no model of Tradition himself, defended the priest, revealing how far the center has shifted. A homily called “Why Hell is Welcoming” is shocking today precisely because Hell has been banished from the modernist catechism. The Denver laity are scandalized not by sin, but by its mention.
Capuchin Fr Pedro Cesário Palma, +Leo's new bishop for Jardim, Brazil |
Act III: Leo’s Bishop for the Adulterers
Leo XIV just appointed Capuchin Fr. Pedro Cesário Palma as bishop of Jardim, Brazil. Palma’s claim to fame is not holiness, theological brilliance, or missionary zeal. It is his decade-long “second union ministry,” where adulterous couples are welcomed, integrated, and encouraged to remain exactly where they are.
Long before Amoris Laetitia, Palma was hanging banners inviting adulterers to Communion without repentance. By 2011 he was running retreats for divorced and remarried couples, letting them join choirs, catechism programs, and parish councils.
This is no accident. Leo is signaling his episcopal strategy: bishops will not be chosen for fidelity to doctrine, but for their creative application of the Francis-Bergoglio school of pastoral realism. Palma’s rise is proof that the “field hospital” is no longer treating wounds, it’s normalizing them.
Act IV: Stockholm’s Ecumenical Dreamworld
Leo’s message to the Ecumenical Week in Stockholm may sound pious, but beneath the rhetoric lies the true engine of the postconciliar revolution: ecumenism as an end in itself. He praises Nicaea (consubstantial with the Father), but in the same breath praises Söderblom’s 1925 Protestant conference, where doctrine was explicitly downplayed in favor of “practical Christianity.”
That line, “service unites,” has been the mantra of the ecumenical movement ever since. The Faith no longer unites; soup kitchens do. The Cross no longer unites; social activism does. What began at Vatican II with Unitatis Redintegratio has matured into a theology of horizontal fraternity in which truth is relativized.
Leo’s message tells Lutherans, Anglicans, and Orthodox that “what unites us is far greater than what divides us.” This is false on its face. If the Eucharist, papal primacy, Marian dogmas, and moral law are mere “divisions,” then unity is reduced to vague good feelings.
In historic first, Leo opens Vatican doors to LGBTQ Catholics |
The Thread That Binds: A Church Without a Center
Whether it is rainbow activists in Madrid, parishioners in Denver, adulterous couples in Brazil, or Protestants in Stockholm, the message is the same: the post-Vatican II Church no longer has the strength to say “no.” Every boundary is porous, every doctrine negotiable, every sin reframed as a “path of openness.”
The “loss of psychological safety” in Denver is just the mirror image of the “joy of building bridges” in Madrid. Both assume the Church exists to validate the feelings of the laity. Leo’s episcopal appointments and ecumenical diplomacy only confirm the pattern: the revolution has no brakes, because the brakes were dismantled long ago.
The tragedy is not that modern Catholics are divided. The tragedy is that so few can even imagine the Church as She was: a mother who teaches with authority, disciplines her children, and calls sinners to repentance, not to a committee meeting.https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/535900409437696304/170596982153260232?hl=en-GB
ReplyDeleteWell said. Leo is a Francis 2.0 wrapped in a nice smile, concerned voice, and traditional chasuble. Beware. He has already appointed a nun as the Secretary of the Dicastery for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life. Watch what happens.

ReplyDeleteJulia, did you order this AI picture yourself? Are we supposed to think it's real? Shame on you for tricking people into thinking it was real.
I am one of those people who are so far-flung from anywhere celebrating the Latin Mass I will probably never be able to attend one. I'm guessing there are far more of us in this country than those blessed with a parish who celebrate the Latin Mass.
ReplyDeleteI think the whole point of this post is to emphasize the gravity of the situation. Frankly, it is the new order that is the problem for a thousand plus years before the new order…the churches stewards had its problems but it was sorted out…nothing like today though… the new order modernists are the ones creating the division not the people who stand for Gods church the Tridentine mass. Cant you all see that? I’m assuming the person posting this would do whatever it took to Worship God as they are commanded to in a Treditine Mass church.  And if this person were traveling, I’m assuming, they would find a Tridentine mass to go and wouldn’t have to worry about nonsense that possibly could be presented or said in a homily at a novus ordo church… 
DeleteLon Saling Thank you, you get the point.
I stayed with the NO for longer than I wished because my husband and son attended, and still do - which is a very serious concern for me, given that the PP is a thorough-going Modernist whose homilies are indeed nonsensical.
I drive over an hour to attend the TLM every Sunday except for once aa month when an SSPX priest says Mass for our local SSPX community, until recently in my daughter's garage but now in a funeral parlour (which is a great improvement) because our bishop- although he celebrates the TLM himself, - refuses us the use of a disused local church. He's afraid and rightly so, of an Apostolic Visitation which could likely result in him being cancelled, as has an FSSR community in New Zealand.
ReplyDeleteOne of the local parishes has an LGBTQ ministry for parents. Is this necessary, which only serves a few! So I say better have an ongoing Catechism ministry that will keep and help all parishioners know their faith. A rosary in Reparation will be prayed in front of the church for this exact behavior displayed. Whether this post is real or AI, it doesn't matter. The reality is that this heresy is true and all over our country. Too many bishops and pastors are going along with it. It's a grave sin to support this in TLM or the Novus Ordo. God have mercy on us. Amen.
DeleteMaria Hernandez do you mean to say a local TLM parish has an LGBtQ ministry? Really???
Maria Hernandez
DeleteNo, not a TLM parish. I commented on this post because of what I saw; the Priest, a rainbow flag and women honoring it. For me this is scandalous and very misleading for our kids and young Catholics and those that don't know their faith. It seems that the comments here are about TLM and the Novus Order Mass instead of the alphabet post.
Maria Hernandez I absolutely agree with you that a priest and women honouring a rainbow banner is scandalous and misleading for children. But that's what's occurring in the conciliar, counterfeit 'Church' and we must not pretend otherwise.
Delete
ReplyDeleteThis can't be true! Must be fake news! No Catholic Church I know would do that! Prove itl
DeleteLynn's Camino Frances Edwards I'm very sorry to say it's true. I suggest you google 'Complicit Clergy' and other traditional Catholic sites on line to discover the tragic reality of the situation in the conciliar Novus Ordo, Synodal, post-Bergoglian sect now running the Vatican.
ReplyDeleteThis ain’t it chief...while I prefer TLM and went to it while we had it the elitism puts a lot of people off. As I told my dad, I love TLM but can’t stand most that attend it.
DeleteKevin Frechou there's nothing elitist about the truth. I endured the NO for much longer than I wished, because my husband and son attended (and still do, which is a serious concern). I could not bear the irreverence accorded the Most Holy Eucharist, or the heretical homilies. I protested, I walked out, to no avail. So my husband and son are still assured of their eternal salvation, no matter what, on a weekly basis.
This is not elitism, it's the imperative of saving my soul and desire for saving the souls of my family and friends in the N O.
ReplyDeleteI do not speak or understand Latin. I am in a traditional Catholic choir and we frequently sing Latin songs and I complain about it. About ten people in the congregation understand Latin. If the job is evangelizing people where they are, then English is the correct language. Not Latin, not German, not Russian, not French.

ReplyDeleteGet off your soap box about the Novus Ordo Mass! You people who think you run the Church, and take tantrums when the Church doesnt do things your way! Jesus gave authority to the Catholic Church! Not to its members! The Novus Ordo is allowed, it is not forbidden, you have no right telling the faithful otherwise! You are causing dissent in Christs Church!
DeleteGram Slam it would be rather unrealistic for people who are not permitted to celebrate Mass or use Church property to think they 'run the Church'.
Yes, Jesus gave authority to the Catholic Church, which as Archbishop VIgano explains has been subverted by infiltrators to the point where those in authority in the Vatican have erected a counterfeit church. His Excellency, who opposes the underhand way in which the papacy is being demolished and authority granted to its members, would agree with you on that last point.
Did you actually click on the link and read VIgano's expose of the skulduggery that's gone on since Vatican II?
DeleteJulia du Fresne Wasnt Vigano excommunicated? My loyalty is to the Vicar of Christ, not to these rogue bishops who think they run the Church! The Church allows it! I happen to love the Novus Ordo! I love being able to understand everything that is being said and participating! It makes me feel like I am part of the Mass! The TLM on the other hand is like a floor show youre watching! Cant understand the language, cant participate, thats the altar boys job, cant see what the priest is doing because he has his back to you the entire time! If and when the Church says that we can only go to the Latin Mass, then I will obey! Until then, I go along with what the Church mandates!
Gram Slam yes Vigano was excommunicated. Because he spoke the truth. There have been many bad Vicars of Christ in the past; Bergoglio was so bad he binned that title.
DeleteI don't speak Latin but I certainly understand everything that's said in the TLM: it's right there in front of you in your missal. Unlike the NO (chiefly invented by a man Paul VI exiled because he was rightly convinced he was a Freemson - Annibale Bugnini ) where the priest can make it up as he goes along.
Participation does NOT mean getting up and doing things. Participation in Holy Mass means worshipping GOD,
Did you know that the TLM is more closely aligned than the NO with what Vatican II mandated?
Do you realise that while the priest is facing you in the NO he has his back to God???
ReplyDeletePlease, don’t lump all Catholics at the NO as being clueless idiots. I love being a part of the FB group, but if I see just one more post like this, then I will have to unfollow this page. I honestly thought that we as Catholics are supposed to be welcoming and charitable to others. I must be wrong.
I was a Catholic at the NO myself until a few short years ago and my husband and son still attend there. I don't see them or my friends at the NO as clueless idiots, but as having been misled by wolves masquerading as shepherds. Charity means I have to do what I can to expose this crisis of mass apostasy, in the fervent hope that their souls will be saved.

ReplyDeleteYou better take a hard look at the first commandment you're worshiping false gods because you're not faithful to the one true church and to Jesus Christ our Lord and savior you're making yourself out to be your own gods and doing what you want to do shame on you you have broken the law of God
ReplyDeleteI hope Fr. Chad Youngtrad there is gently prying Susan’s and Linda’s fingers off of that.
ReplyDelete·
leo hasn't indicated his direction for synodality at all lol. youre takes are always so warped its wild
DeleteMichael Thomas Kramer DC: "In a spirit of fraternity and warm cordiality, Pope Leo XIV, on Thursday, June 26, met members of the XIV General Secretariat of the Synod of Bishops and emphasized the significance of synodality in the Church, describing it as both a style and attitude essential to authentic Church participation.
“I am happy to take this opportunity to share an idea that I consider central, and then to listen to you in the time that I have available… Synodality is a style, an attitude that helps us to be Church, promoting authentic experiences of participation and communion,” Pope Leo XIV told members of the Secretariat."
ReplyDeleteIs there any Pope that you don't have problem with? Let's leave judgement to the Judge Himself who is Christ Jesus.
Virginia Nyambura since you ask, no problem with any of the canonised popes. Not until after Vat II, that is.
DeleteChrist Jesus expects us to judge deeds, to discern right from wrong. It's people we must not judge, because only He knows their hearts, their motivation. Do please point out any judgment I've made of people and I will retract and apologise.

ReplyDeleteDisgusting
ReplyDeleteWhat is our Catholic teaching on this?
DeleteRose Gaerlan Wascher Catholic teaching is that homosexual acts are seriously sinful.
ReplyDeleteEasy to that high minded positions when you have options. Many of us do not have access to the TLM.
Very Judgmental!!!!
DeleteThomas Landry I drive over an hour to the TLM rather than the N O seven minutes away which my husband and son still attend. The situation is difficult and painful. Rather than 'high minded' my position is simply that my first duty to God is to save my soul. And that it's simply wicked that Catholics like yourself don't have access to the TLM. We shouldn't submit to that injustice in silence.
I don't judge anyone. Not even the acknowledged Freemason Bugnini who was chiefly responsible for the N O. But Catholic doctrine teaches me to judge deeds as right or wrong and avoid complicity in whatever is wrong.

ReplyDeleteMASS IS VALID
“Do not lose faith in My Mass. It is valid.
Man may distort, but it is valid, I say! When a
legally ordained priest of the Roman Catholic
Church conducts this Mass, it is valid, I say!”
Jesus, December 7, 1976
DeleteMario M. Juan I don't deny the N O is valid, but it is distorted. Vatican II's Sacrosanctum Concilium is honoured in the Latin Mass far more than in the Novus Ordo which was supposed to meet SC's requirements.
ReplyDeleteLook up spiritual pride. You have it in spades.
ReplyDeleteAnd trying to divide the Church into 2 camps is a sin in itself. Division come from one place and it is not the Holy Spirit. Your comments are just like the ones from progressives Catholics who think they have all the answers to why the Church is shrinking…perhaps it is because people have stopped praying and sin has blinded many. It is a much deeper problem than what mass a person attends. I know good faithful people in both…please stop causing division between the two.
ReplyDeleteShowing everyone what being rigid is.
Pope Francis was right.
ReplyDeleteBest to stay at home and pray the Rosary if you don’t have the TLM. NO is just for one to go and witness so much desecration and like you said be slowly fried and desensitized to the sacred.
Laetitia Marie whenever I can't manage the one-hour drive to the TLM I pray the Mass texts and readings of the day from my hand missal.
Delete
DeleteLaetitia Marie stop. You are being a heretic by saying such things. You are mocking Jesus at Calvary yourself.
Examine yourself.
DeleteDiane Ramos Kratochvil I recommend to you the writings of Michael Davies, especially his trilogy "Pope Paul's New Mass Liturgical Revolution". I hope and pray these holy works by a saintly layman will open your eyes.

“Receiving Jesus every day in a state of Grace is the best thing we can do for our Soul. The Ordimary Form of the Mass is a valid Mass according to the Church founded by Jesus. That’s good enough for me and that’s why I can attend both the TLM or a properly and reverently celebrated Ordinary Form Mass. Only Satan wants us to avoid a valid Mass.”
Diane Ramos Kratochvil the VERY BEST thing we can do for our Soul is .Receiving Jesus every day in a state of Grace in the Extraordinary Form.

ReplyDeleteRepent!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm bewildered. I love the TLM - it is the true Mass of Ages and embodies such reverence and beauty that I often find tears in my eyes when I am able to attend such a Mass. And no, it's not the incense! It's the overwhelming realization of what the Mass truly is. And whenever I've attended an NO Mass there have been dreadful, dreary songs, a liturgy purged of much true teaching, and consequently a sort of Catholicism Lite impression that lingers even after taking Communion. What to do? I'm 80 years old, in a wheelchair. These days I can hardly ever get to a TLM. I miss it terribly, but Eucharistic Ministers from our local church bring us Communion every Sunday, and although this is not the most reverent way of receiving Christ, it is the best I can do right now. With all the terrible shut-downs of the TLM under the late Frankie, will we ever be able to find one in our area again? What should we do? Genuine advice wanted, please, not sarcasm or insults. I am truly at a loss what to do.
Julia du Fresne
DeleteLiz AndColin I entirely agree with you re the N O, and I deeply empathise with you in your sad plight. It took me longer than I'd have liked to leave the 'New Mass', as it meant leaving my husband and son behind me in the local parish I now drive over an hour to the nearest TLM, only on Sundays not weekdays as you'll understand with the distance involved.
It's only rarely that I can't make it, and then I pray all the texts and readings of the Mass of the day from my hand missal alone at home, while husband and son are at the N O.
The other option available to me is to 'attend' Mass on line. Many TLM parishes offer this. I also make spiritual Communions, usually twice a day at least. It's no substitute for kneeling to receive at the altar rail but our dear Lord knows our hearts and rewards us for worshipping Him in the best way we can.
God bless you!
