APOSTASY FROM THE TOP: SATAN RULES A FALSE CHURCH


To comment please open your gmail account or use my email address, FB Messenger or X.





Leo XIV wearing the 'creepy' pectoral cross of the satanist Cardinal Joseph Bernardin




The new church



 

Oh joy! It's exhilarating! Yes, sarcasm is the lowest form of wit but - Cardinal Mario Grech (who claims the heterodox German ‘Synodal Way’ was inspired by the ‘Holy Spirit’ ) has issued a document on the “path of implementation of the Synod on Synodality”. And Leo XIV will personally present his 1st encyclical, "Magnifica Humanitas, on the protection of the human person in the age of artificial intelligence,”on May 25.


"Magnificent Man". Doesn't that just epitomise the ethos of Vatican II and its innovative New Mass: the unbloody re-presentation of the Sacrifice of the Son of God on Calvary, morphed into a mutual admiration society of priest and people? Christ, Who until the Consecration (which may not be valid), is often not even really and substantially present in a Novus Ordo church.


"It is Satan who has been introduced into the bosom of the Church," said St Padre Pio to the famed exorcist Fr Gabriele Amorth in the '60s, "and within a very short time he will come to rule a false church.”

The chief tools now at Satan's disposal as he puts the finishing touches to that false church are the Trojan horse of the 'New Mass', and the Synod, which opens up that beast to release mass apostasy into the Body of Christ. “In the Third Secret it is foretold, among other things, that the great apostasy in the Church will begin at the top.” Those are the words of Cardinal Mario Luigi Ciappi, personal theologian to five successive popes, in 1995. 


As St Thomas Aquinas observed, the apostate “seems to turn away from God altogether: and consequently, apostasy, simply and absolutely that whereby a man withdraws from the faith, is called ‘apostasy of perfidy.’” 'Perfidy’ because it's a betrayal of Christ Himself. 


By publicly declaring they now belong to this 'new church', most of the hierarchy have declared themselves to be Judases - as also are the bishops, priests and people who have held their false peace or worse, slandered the few who point to the lace and Latin that are the Emperor's new clothes. 


Father Albert Jacquemin, a doctor of legal history and canon law, is one of those who defected from the Society of St Pius X (SSPX) when Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre consecrated the new bishops necessary for the preservation of the Faith and salvation of souls (the lex suprema of the Church). Rorate Caeli, a site sympathetic to the conciliar church, has published +Jacquemin's "The Choice of Rupture: Archbishop Lefebvre, Rome, the Consecrations, 1974–2026." 


In view of the widely acknowledged heterodoxy of Leo XIV (cited in the article below), +Jacquemin's statement that "while a "state of necessity" does exist, it can never be invoked against the explicit will of the Pope" begs the question, "but how can Leo be a Pope?"RORATE CÆLI: Fr. Albert Jacquemin, formerly of the SSPX: "The SSPX Is Explicitly Developing an Ecclesiology of Substitution Foreign to Catholic Tradition"


"When a man can be accurately described as a:

  • 'James Martin-welcoming,
  • Viganò-alienating,
  • Blessed Virgin Mary-demoting,
  • homosexual-couple-blessing,
  • pedophile-promoting,
  • SSPX-excommunicating,
  • China-faithful-ignoring,
  • communist-endorsing,
  • Pachamama-adorer' ... how does one square that with recognizing Leo as the Vicar of Christ? The cognitive dissonance is crushing." (John-Henry Westen, Lifesitenews.)


"Six decades of non-infallible statements, disciplinary changes, public actions, catechetical norms, sacramental 'updates,' and encyclical letters that when taken together just so happen to contradict not just the magisterium of the Church prior to Vatican II, but radically change how the faith is understood, taught, and lived for the faithful and clergy across the world." (Stephen Kokx, Kokx News.)

 


The faithful who accept heresy and heterodoxy and slander those who don't








A guest post from a reader, Michael:



Fr. Albert Jacquemin misses the elephant in the room. We are now in the final stages of an "Apostasy from the top." Most - not all, but most - of the (former) hierarchy of the Church now publicly declare that they belong to a new church. Many of the rest consent to the Apostasy by their silence.

 

Who do the SSPX ask this time for approval to consecrate Bishops? In order to hold office inside the Catholic Church a person must be IN the Catholic Church. The Papacy is an Office of the Catholic Church.

 

With regard to Prevost/Leo, he has:

1.  Publicly worshipped a demon idol (in 1995), and remains silent about Francis doing the same back in October 2019 in the Vatican, during the Amazon Synod.

 




2.  Marched with Communists (1983), and tells Communist groups (in a prepared speech, October 2025) that he is "with them".


 

That's Robert Prevost (Leo XIV) on the right, marching with the Italian Communist Party

https://www.lepantoin.org/wp/pope-leo-to-october-meeting-of-marxist-revolutionaries-i-am-here-i-am-with-you/#comment-171999

 

3.   Has worn the same (or similar) pectoral cross as that worn by the satanist Joseph Cardinal Bernardin of Chicago.


 

https://abyssum.org/2021/02/11/beware-of-this-creepy-pectoral-cross-worn-on-the-chest-of-a-bishop/

 

4.  Approved the Mass for LGBTQ++ in Rome (in the Church of the Gesu), and said nothing when they marched through the Jubilee Holy Doors.

 


And Leo said nothing



5.     He continues Francis' work to build the "new Synodal Church".

 

 


 


So is there currently a Pope? There have been gaps between Popes before. How many cardinals have spoken out against the Synodal 'Church', or warned that it denies the Apostolic Mark of the Church, thereby also denying the other three Marks? None of the cardinals as far as I'm aware.

 

The process to create a new church did not start in 2014 nor even in the 1960s. It goes back to the French Revolution. Vatican 2 just accelerated the process: it prepared the faithful to accept what is now called the "synodal process" (i.e. democracy) and the "new Synodal Church." The Modernist Heresy was well established inside the Church before Pius X wrote his encyclical, Pascendi Dominic Gregis.

 

The Apostasy from the top is the reason for scenes like this (below) at a LBGTQ++ funeral held in St Patrick's Catholic Cathedral, New York, for the Synodal Study Group Report #9.

 


 

 

They have declared a new church.  A new church that does not have the Apostolic Mark but instead has a democratic mark (Synodal).

    https://lizyore.substack.com/p/the-obscene-reality-of-the-sin-nod

 

"Here’s the money quote in all its subtlety: “The synodal process, in reality, calls for a conversion of heart and mind as well as a transformation of practices so that we may walk with fidelity and renewed vigor.”

 

Read that again! Make no mistake - the entire synodal process is a psychological exercise to exorcise doctrine from the faith and install a new modern church comprised of the dogma of listening and dialoguing. This report, as well as the entire synodal project, is a concerted psychological operation to impose a one world religion by 2030. Change attitudes first, then dogma will follow."

 

Christ will always remain with His Church. The Church's Head does not separate from the Church's Body. The Church is in Heaven, and in Purgatory, as well as here on earth.

 

But the Church on earth is now getting very small. It is not necessarily made up only of the people who are called "Trads," but still very small.

 

 

 

Pentecost approaches 


 

"If Thou take Thy grace away, nothing pure in man will stay, All his good is turn’d to ill."

    The claim of an ‘apostasy from the top’ contradicts Catholic doctrine on the indefectibility of the Church and the visibility of the Apostolic See. The Church teaches that the hierarchy can sin, act imprudently, or even scandalize — but it cannot collectively defect from the faith, because Christ Himself guarantees the perpetual continuity of the Apostolic office (cf. Lumen Gentium 18; Vatican I, Pastor Aeternus).

    Furthermore, none of the actions listed — attending events, giving speeches, failing to comment on others’ actions — constitute formal heresy or apostasy as defined by canon law (can. 751). Apostasy requires the total repudiation of the Christian faith, not imprudence, silence, or association.

    The visibility of the Church and the continuity of the Petrine office do not depend on the personal holiness or political judgments of individual bishops. Even widespread confusion or error does not erase the juridical reality of the papacy. Vatican I explicitly teaches that the See of Peter ‘remains immune from any defect of faith’ in its official capacity, not that every pope or bishop is immune from sin or poor judgment.

    To claim that the hierarchy has ‘created a new church’ is to assert a rupture that the Church herself says is impossible. No magisterial act, no papal decree, and no ecumenical council has abolished the Catholic Church or replaced it with a ‘synodal church.’ The indefectibility of the Church is a divine guarantee, not a sociological observation.

    In short: the argument fails both factually and theologically. It misuses canonical terms, and contradicts the Church’s own teaching on her indefectibility and the permanence of the Petrine office.

    A reverse image search on Google of the top photo showing then Bishop Prevost raising his hand states the photo has been manipulated (which is pretty obvious and should have been obvious to the author):

    "Yes, the hand in the photo has been digitally manipulated. The original, unedited photograph features Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost (later elected Pope Leo XIV). The Manipulation Breakdown The Edit: In the modified viral photo, the middle and ring fingers have been digitally folded down into the palm to form the "sign of the horns" or devil horns gesture. The Original Gesture: In the authentic photo, his hand is completely open, raising his thumb, index finger, and middle finger in a three-finger gesture representing the Holy Trinity. Visual Artifacts: If you look closely at the edited hand, the knuckles of the middle and ring fingers are unnaturally duplicated and stretched to force the folded look. Origins and Context The picture was taken years prior to his papal election while he was serving as a bishop, posed in front of a framed image of Our Lady of Guadalupe. The manipulated version began heavily circulating online on platforms like Facebook and X (formerly Twitter) to spread conspiracy theories or joke memes shortly after his elevation to the papacy."

    Julia du Fresne appears not to have caught up with the falsity of the allegations she makes against Cardinal Bernardin. "The claim that Cardinal Joseph Bernardin was a satanist is based on allegations that were categorically denied and, in a high-profile legal case, recanted by the accuser. The primary source of these rumours was a 1993 lawsuit and separate accusations involving alleged "repressed memories".

    Recanted Lawsuit: In 1993, Steven Cook sued Bernardin, alleging sexual abuse in the 1970s based on memories retrieved through hypnosis. Cook later dropped the lawsuit and recanted, stating he no longer trusted his recollections and had made a mistake.

    Satanic Ritual Allegation: During the same period, an anonymous woman accused Bernardin of performing satanic rituals in South Carolina in the 1950s. The Archdiocese of Chicago investigated the claim and dismissed it as untrue.Outcome: Bernardin was exonerated of the sexual misconduct charges before his death in 1996. He even met and prayed with his former accuser, Steven Cook, who sought reconciliation before his own death in late 1994.

    While conspiracy theories or extreme critics sometimes repeat these claims in online forums, they are not supported by evidence and were officially cleared by church investigations and legal withdrawals. Most historians and biographers remember Bernardin for his Consistent Ethic of Life and efforts to address clergy sexual abuse." When accused Cardinal Bernadin stated that he had been chaste and celibate all his life. So this is another egregious claim by Julia du Fresne.

    The Latin term "Magnifica humanitas" actually translates to "Magnificant humanity", so Julia du Fresne once again twists the Holy Father's words.
    She claims that "Father Albert Jacquemin, a doctor of legal history and canon law, is one of those who defected from the Society of St Pius X". Fr Jacquemin in fact left the SSPX because he didn't want to incur excommunication latae sententiae (automatic excommunication) as a result of AB Lefebvre unlawful consecrations, which took place against the explicit orders of Pope John Paul II and without a papal mandate. The Vatican condemned the event as a schismatic act. Fr Jacquemin states" "The SSPX Is Explicitly Developing an Ecclesiology of Substitution Foreign to Catholic Tradition". He sets out how the SSPX is forming itself into a parallel magisterium, which is leading them into schism. Julia du Fresne and other rad trads attend the parallel church of SSPX.
    The only ones in a "new church" are, in fact, the Society of Pius X. With their escalating actions and doctrine the SSPX operate within what many theologians describe as a de facto parallel church structure and magisterium - as Fr Albert Jacquemin rightly points out.
    Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre and the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) are compared to Martin Luther by critics—and sometimes mutually by traditionalists—primarily due to their shared history of openly rebelling against papal authority and deliberately opposing the established hierarchy of the Catholic Church in the name of preserving what they consider "true" Christianity.
    Both Martin Luther and Lefebvre refused to submit to legitimate church authority. Luther challenged the Pope during the 16th-century Protestant Reformation. Lefebvre famously resisted the modernizing reforms of the Second Vatican Council (Vatican II), culminating in his unauthorized consecration of four bishops in 1988, an act the Vatican declared schismatic.
    Because they rejected the current trajectory and leadership of the Church, both Luther and Lefebvre established their own movements outside of the mainstream ecclesial structure. Luther sparked the Lutheran movement, while Lefebvre founded the SSPX to ordain traditional priests and maintain the Latin Mass apart from diocesan structures.

    Julia du Fresne Catch up, Julia. Cardinal Bernardin was cleared of any involvement in satanic rituals and declared, "I am 65 years old, and I can tell you all my life I have lived a chaste and celibate life." Where is your evidence that Cardinal Bernardin was a satanist? He was cleared of all charges and his accusers withdrew their claims, so you unjustly sully his reputation, but that is par for the course for you, Julia. In February 1994, Cook recanted the allegations entirely, stating he no longer trusted the repressed memories he had recovered under hypnosis. Cardinal Bernardin publicly forgave Cook and ultimately met to pray with him in late 1994, shortly before the former accuser died of AIDS. His biographer Eugene Kennedy who wrote two biographies of the Cardinal remains steadfast in his admiration, “As time goes by and we’re able to see better,” he says, “people will know he was a saint. “I pray to him all the time.” I shall pray to Cardinal Bernardin for you, Julia.

    Julia du Fresne The Good Shepherd cross was most famously worn by Pope Francis. Because of its simple, linear style and thePope's progressive views, it has occasionally been the target of conspiracy theories online. Critics of the Pope have sometimes circulated false claims that the cross is "satanic" or represents a "bent/broken cross." Zieglers, an ecclesiastical metalware manufacturer, has gone into detail about Pope Francis’ pectoral cross, visible (here). The inspiration for the design comes from the Gospel of Luke – the parable of the good shepherd and the lost sheep. https://www.zieglers.com/blog/the-original-pope-francis-papal-pectoral-cross-story-and-meaning/

      Janet Curran the child who was raped in the South Carolina black Mass, “Agnes”, corresponded with me in 2014 and confirmed that Bernardin co-presided over the South Carolina black Mass and raped her at the “consecration” equivalent. Agnes’ father was a satanist in South Carolina and provided her to the coven and was present when she was ritually raped.

      Bernardin has been recruited by satanists out of the gay bar scene in Charleston when he was a pre-med undergrad at USC. The satanists placed him into seminary and saw to it that he shot straight to the top of the American church. Bernardin was made a bishop at age 38, and at age 40 was the head of the US bishops’ conference, a position of power which he retained until his death, and his coven of protégées still control to this day.

      Bernardin was a key supporter of Saul Alinsky, and Bernardin paid for Barack Obama (Barry Soetoro) to be brought to Chicago and be trained in Alinskyism.

    Janet Curran 'Magnificant (sic) Humanity' or 'Magnificent Man': either and both indicate Leo XIV's emphasis on created humankind rather than its Creator.
    It's astonishing that after Leo's public and undenied heresies any Latin Massgoer can cite him - and a man such as 'Tucho' Fernandez - as 'legitimate church authority'.
    And it's utterly deplorable, and shows the unprecedented gravity of the crisis in the Church, that a 'pope' can tolerate a man like Fernandez, indicted by his own pornographic prose, as Prefect of the Dicastery for the Faith which is responsible for upholding doctrinal orthodoxy.
    However, every Catholic will ultimately be held responsible for their decision to align themselves either with Prevost and Fernandex and their new church, or with the Society of St Pius X, whose only concern is the preservation of the Catholic religion and the salvation of souls.

      Janet Curran so in her prediction of "an apostasy from the top", Our Lady of Fatima contradicted Catholic doctrine?
      Also in her prophecy at La Salette, that "the Church will be in eclipse, the world will be in dismay... Rome will lose the faith and become the seat of Antichrist"?
      You persist in your blindness to the very evident fact that the current hierarchy of the Church cannot be such, as no heretic can hold any office in Holy Mother Church.
      Please don't be deceived by wolves in sheep's clothing who won't or can't acknowledge the truth in front of their eyes because their 'careers', their income and their status depend on their support for the evil men in the Vatican.

      The phrase “apostasy from the top” does not appear in any approved Fatima document, and the extreme apocalyptic lines attributed to La Salette (“Rome will lose the faith… seat of Antichrist”) come from the unapproved 1879 Melanie text, which the Church explicitly rejected as inauthentic, which was a later add on to the original prophecy of La Salette and has also been rejected by many Catholic writers as false.
      So these statements cannot be used to declare the hierarchy illegitimate or to claim that popes and bishops lose office.
      The Church also teaches that a heretic does not automatically lose office; that is a theological opinion, not doctrine, and the Church has never applied it to a reigning pope.
      Accusing the entire hierarchy of being “wolves in sheep’s clothing” goes far beyond anything taught by Fatima, La Salette, or Catholic theology. It replaces the Church’s teaching with private judgment, which the Church warns against.
      I prefer to follow what the Church actually teaches, not interpretations that go beyond approved revelation or deny the visibility and indefectibility of the Church.

      Janet Curran, each person no matter who they are, chooses to be in Christ’s Church.
      People don’t collectively defect from the Church. The apostasy is done by individuals, even when a large number of people; each chooses to leave at once or for the same reason, they individually leave the Church.
      The Church belongs to Jesus Christ. He is God, He made the Church and we belong to Him. The Church is indefectible, because it is His. People on the other hand can and have chosen heresy and apostasy. Luther chose to apostatize and make his own church.

      The Church will always be visible, and the Petrine office will continue. It is likely vacant now, but eventually will be filled. Christ created it to protect His Church. There have been extended times when the Papal office has been vacant before and this is likely another such period.
      Ref your comment from Vatican I:
      “The visibility of the Church and the continuity of the Petrine office do not depend on the personal holiness or political judgments of individual bishops. Even widespread confusion or error does not erase the juridical reality of the papacy. Vatican I explicitly teaches that the See of Peter ‘remains immune from any defect of faith’ in its official capacity, not that every pope or bishop is immune from sin or poor judgment.”
      Yes. The Petrine office, which is a juridical office, (but which can between Popes be vacant), cannot have its juridical reality erased by anything, as it was created directly by Christ.
      Yes, “Vatican I explicitly teaches that the See of Peter ‘remains immune from any defect of faith.” A valid Pope (as an aside: a person who is invalidly the “Pope” is an antipope, so is not the Pope), who had a defect of faith, does not affect the See of Peter in its official capacity. Jesus promised this to Peter. If a Pope does apostatize then that person leaves the Church. By their apostasy they resigned the Papacy, because a person must be in the Church to hold office in the Church.
      Ref your reply:
      “To claim that the hierarchy has ‘created a new church’ is to assert a rupture that the Church herself says is impossible. No magisterial act, no papal decree, and no ecumenical council has abolished the Catholic Church or replaced it with a ‘synodal church.’
      The indefectibility of the Church is a divine guarantee, not a sociological observation.
      There has been no rupture in the Church. The Church, which was created by Christ himself, cannot be “ruptured,” nor defeated. People have left the Church in the past and the Church did not rupture, because it can’t.
      A person (either a Pope, Cardinal, Bishop, Priest, Deacon, Religious, or lay person) cannot belong to both Christ’s Church and at the same time belong to another. A person’s “yes” to Christ, means yes, and their “no,” means no.
      We are either in the Church, and thus belong to Jesus Christ, or we are out of His Church and belong to the World (to Satan). There is no middle ground.
      When the “new Synodal Church” was created they created a new “thing.” The act of formally creating a new church, and then proclaiming to belong to it, is not done with the authority of a person who is inside Christ’s Church. When creating a new church they are not exercising the authority which belongs to Christ and His Church. By the act of creating the new thing (the Synodal church) those people leave the old.

      Note:
      Christ’s Church has four Marks to identify it. It is One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic. Truth comes from God. Truth does not come from man. The Church is not democratic. This new church, which they call synodal, has a Democratic Mark.

      You’re right that individuals can defect. But when you claim that the pope and the bishops in communion with him have all defected, you’re not describing apostasy, you’re inventing it. The Church teaches that people can fall away; the Church’s hierarchy cannot collectively vanish without destroying the very visibility Christ guaranteed.

      Vatican I says the papacy is a perpetual, visible office. Not “perpetual unless I personally decide the current pope must have secretly left the Church”. The idea that a pope automatically loses office by your private judgement is not Catholic teaching. It’s a homemade tribunal with you as judge, jury, and conclave.

      If the pope and the bishops have supposedly created a “new synodal church” then, according to your logic, the successors of the apostles have defected en masse. But if that were true, apostolic succession would be broken, the Church would lose her visibility, and Christ’s promise would have failed. That is exactly the conclusion Vatican I says is impossible.

      So the choice is simple:
      Either Christ kept His promise to preserve His Church through the visible hierarchy, or He didn’t. If you claim the hierarchy has defected, you’re not defending the Church you are placing yourself outside the very structure Christ established.

      In short: Individuals can leave; the Church’s hierarchy cannot collectively defect.

      The papacy doesn’t evaporate because private Catholics declare it vacant.

      The bishops in communion with the pope are the visible Church.

      Calling them apostates doesn’t prove fidelity — it proves you’ve stepped outside the Church’s own teaching on indefectibility.

Not whine about it and throw a fit like a spoiled child who’s not getting her way. Not spread disgusting false rumors about dad to the local papers. That’s twisted and against Gods will.
      Our fathers in the faith held greek agape liturgies in filthy caves whenever they could avoid being murdered in the streets or set on fire by the government. I doubt I would have preferred that liturgy either, but you accept what God allows you when He allows you.

      Julia du Fresne comments: "Greg Ryan In my neck of the woods it's (referring to the TLM) allowed in a funeral parlour once a month." It is held in a funeral parlour at the choosing of the new church of SSPX because the SSPX is not under the jurisdiction of the local bishop and therefore cannot use Catholic churches. The new church of SSPX could easily rectify that by reconciling with the Catholic Church.

The TLM is flourishing in New Zealand, Julia, no thanks to people yourself and this blog which is widely regarded as being used by Bishop Cullinane to shut down the TLM in Palmerston North. That is why it is important that TLM attendees disassociate themselves from your sick comments about Pope Leo, calling him an anti-Pope, etc, and your sedevacantist proclivities, which have no doubt been brought about by your attendance at the new church of the SSPX which regards attending a Novus Ordo Mass as a confessable sin.

      The Third Secret of Fatima says nothing about the great apostasy in the Church. The Third Secret of Fatima as revealed by Pope Benedict states: "I write in obedience to you, my God, who command me to do so through his Excellency the Bishop of Leiria and through your Most Holy Mother and mine.

      After the two parts which I have already explained, at the left of Our Lady and a little above, we saw an Angel with a flaming sword in his left hand; flashing, it gave out flames that looked as though they would set the world on fire; but they died out in contact with the splendour that Our Lady radiated towards him from her right hand: pointing to the earth with his right hand, the Angel cried out in a loud voice: ‘PENANCE, PENANCE, PENANCE!’

      And we saw in an immense light that is God: ‘something similar to how people appear in a mirror when they pass in front of it’ a Bishop dressed in white ‘we had the impression that it was the Holy Father’.

      Other bishops, priests, men and women religious going up a steep mountain, at the top of which there was a big Cross of rough‑hewn trunks as of a cork‑tree with the bark; before reaching there the Holy Father passed through a big city half in ruins and half trembling with halting step, afflicted with pain and sorrow, he prayed for the souls of the corpses he met on his way;

      having reached the top of the mountain, on his knees at the foot of the big Cross he was killed by a group of soldiers who fired bullets and arrows at him, and in the same way there died one after another the other bishops, priests, men and women religious, and various lay people of different ranks and positions."

      The quote attributed to Cardinal Mario Luigi Ciappi: “In the Third Secret it is foretold, among other things, that the great apostasy in the Church will begin at the top” cannot be verified from any primary source. It is not found in any published writing, interview, sermon, or correspondence of Ciappi. It appears only in traditionalist secondary literature beginning in the 1990s with Fr Paul Kramer and Fr Nicholas Gruner, without documentation and without dates. So, unless someone can show an actual primary source, it can’t be treated as something Ciappi genuinely said.

      You need to realise that the conciliar counterfeit Ape of the Church will continue to deny the truth of its mass apostasy in order to defend the status, incomes and false authority of the vast majority of its bishops and priests, most of them by their silent complicity.

    Greg Ryan in addition to the published testimony of Father Fuentes, Father Alonso, Sister Lucy, Cardinal Ratzinger, etc ,please read the testimony of Msgr. Eugenio Pacelli (the future Pope Pius XII) :
    "Suppose that Communism [one of “the errors of Russia” mentioned in the Message of Fatima] was only the most visible of the instruments of subversion to be used against the Church and the traditions of Divine Revelation…
    I am worried by the Blessed Virgin�s messages to Lucy of Fatima. This persistence of Mary about the dangers which menace the Church is a divine warning against the suicide of altering the Faith, in Her liturgy, Her theology and Her soul. …I hear all around me innovators who wish to dismantle the Sacred Chapel, destroy the universal flame of the Church, reject Her ornaments and make Her feel remorse for Her historical past.
    A day will come when the civilized world will deny its God, when the Church will doubt as Peter doubted. She will be tempted to believe that man has become God."

      The Pacelli quotation is widely circulated, but it doesn’t come from any official document or verifiable primary source. Its only appearance is in a 1972 book by Roche & Saint Germain, which reports private conversations without documentation. Because of that, historians treat it as an anecdotal attribution, not confirmed papal teaching.

      By contrast, the statements of Sr Lucia, Fr Fuentes, and Fr Alonso are at least documented in identifiable publications or archival work, although even these have their own questions and debates surrounding interpretation and accuracy.

      So while the Pacelli text is interesting, it doesn’t have the same evidentiary weight as sources whose authenticity can be independently verified, and it can’t be used as authoritative proof of a Fatima interpretation.

      Private revelations, including Fatima and La Salette, cannot contradict Catholic doctrine, and the Church teaches that they do not add to or alter the deposit of faith.

    A title like Magnificent Humanity is not heresy. Long before Vatican II, popes consistently spoke of the dignity and greatness of the human person created in God’s image.

    Leo XIII in Rerum Novarum, Pius XI in Quadragesimo Anno, and Pius XII in Mystici Corporis and his Christmas radio messages all emphasised the nobility and dignity of human nature elevated by Christ. Even Pius X speaks of the dignity of the human soul redeemed by grace. So the idea that highlighting human dignity is “modernist” or “heretical” simply does not match the pre‑Vatican II Magisterium.

    The Church judges doctrine by what a pope actually teaches, not by assumptions based on a title. No individual Catholic has the authority to declare a pope deposed or the hierarchy illegitimate. That is private judgment, not Catholic ecclesiology.

    The new church of SSPX is not the arbiter of who is or is not the true hierarchy of the Church.

    In the photo in the post Prevost is wearing the Antichrist pectoral cross of the Satanist Cardinal Archbishop Joseph Bernardin of Chicago, which was also a favorite pectoral cross of Bergoglio. Read the first chapter of Windswept House by Malichi Martin to understand who Bernardin really was. Bernardin is the character Cardinal Leonardine, the Cardinal of Century City and Archpriest in South Carolina who assisted in the Satanic "Enthronment of the Fallen Angel Lucifer" ceremony in the U.S. referred to in the book which was a mirror of the same black mass ceremony which took place in the St. Paul chapel in the Vatican in this work of nonfiction written as a novel to obscure the real names of the characters in the book.

      David FitzJames Cardinal Bernardin was cleared of any involvement in satanic rituals and declared, "I am 65 years old, and I can tell you all my life I have lived a chaste and celibate life." Where is your evidence that Cardinal Bernardin was a satanist? Relying on a book of fiction like Windswept House is no basis for fact. Fr Malachi Martin was also accused of liaisons with at least four different women and a man - also based on hearsay and innuendo. So I don't accept the claims about Fr Malachi Martin and neither do I accept the claims about Cardinal Bernardin.

      From the moment that Fr. Malachi Martin, who was a former Jesuit himself who was released from his vows of obedience to the Society of Jesus and his vow of poverty by Pope Paul VI, wrote his book "The Jesuits" which exposed how corrupted and infiltrated the Jesuits had become by Marxist idealogy they began to slander and attack him in any way they could. You have just repeated those same lies that they told about Fr. Malachi Martin who was never laicised as has also been falsely claimed. The book Windswept House was called a novel so it could be published, but it was not fiction Fr. Martin called it "Faction" fact disguised as fiction.
