WATCH: Why Was Pope Francis’ Pontificate So Disastrous?

In this episode of Catholic Unscripted, Katherine Bennett and Mark Lambert are joined by Dr Peter Kwasniewski for a serious conversation examining the theological and pastoral questions raised by the pontificate of Pope Francis which have been written about in ‘The Disastrous Pontificate: Pope Francis’ Rupture from the Magisterium‘ by Dominic Grigio. available at https://osjustipress.com/products/dis%E2%80%A6 but also at Amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/Disastrous-P%E2%80%A6
As many Catholics experience uncertainty, confusion, and even distress in response to recent developments in Church governance and teaching, Dr Kwasniewski reflects on how these realities should be understood within the broader framework of Catholic tradition. The discussion explores the distinction between the office of the papacy and the manner in which it is exercised, the enduring indefectibility of the Church, and the role of tradition as a stabilising principle in times of apparent rupture.

Brazilian Archbishop Declares Excommunication for Attending Latin Mass Outside Approved Site

Archbishop Carlos Alberto Breis Pereira, 60, of Maceió, Brazil, has warned that celebrating or attending the Mass in the Roman rite outside of his one authorized location will result in excommunication.
The diocesan note was issued on February 11 on FaceBook.com (below). It reads:
“The Archdiocese of Maceió informs the faithful who reside within its jurisdiction that, if they wish to participate in the so-called ‘Tridentine Masses’ or in those celebrated according to the Roman Missal of Saint Pius V, promulgated by Pope Saint Pius V in 1570, in the Latin language, the only authorized place is the Chapel of Saint Vincent de Paul, at the Santa Casa de Misericórdia of Maceió.
We emphasize that this liturgy is always celebrated on Sundays at 10:00 a.m. by the Reverend Father Cícero Lenisvaldo Miranda da Silva, of the Archdiocesan clergy.
Such permission was authorized by the Archbishop of Maceió, Dom Carlos Alberto Breis Pereira, OFM, with the approval of the Holy See. This liturgy is …More

Gospel of Saint Matthew 7:13-16 [uncorrupted Douay Rheims BIBLE]
13 Enter ye in at the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there are who enter by it.

14 How narrow is the gate, and strait is the way, which leadeth to life: and few there are who find it!

Catholic University Reverses Pro-Abortion Professor’s Appointment

Militant pro-abortion Professor Susan Ostermann has declined the appointment as director of the Liu Institute for Asia and Asian Studies at the “Catholic” University of Notre Dame, Indiana, USA. Ostermann had been set to assume the post July 1.
In a statement, Ostermann said she stepped aside because the controversy risked “overshadowing the vital work the Institute performs.”
Three days before her decision, Notre Dame President Father Robert Dowd addressed 32 US bishops gathered on campus and indicated the situation was still being worked through. This message differed from earlier university communications describing the appointment as final.
The appointment had been publicly criticized by Bishop Kevin Rhoades of Fort Wayne-South Bend, who called it a “scandal” and urged the university to reverse course.
Several other bishops voiced similar concerns, and student groups organized a march protest.
Two scholars affiliated with the institute resigned, and donors reportedly expressed …More

Baptism by Sedevacantist Bishop in Catholic Church

Archbishop Paulo Jackson Nóbrega de Sousa of Olinda and Recife, Brazil, has warned the faithful about an “alleged baptism” celebrated at the Chapel of Our Lady of Sorrows in Recife’s Graças neighborhood.
In a February 22 statement, the archdiocese said the rite was presided over by a man who presents himself as a bishop but has no canonical bond with the Catholic Church. Although not named in the note, the celebrant was Rodrigo Henrique Ribeiro da Silva, who identifies as a sedevacantist bishop.
“The public administration of Baptism by someone not in communion with the Church, especially in a Catholic church, constitutes a gravely illicit act,” the statement said.
The archdiocese acknowledged shortcomings in the authorization process, noting that greater prior verification should have taken place at the parish level.

Illicit - but valid, and the Church knows it!
also:
Emergency Cases: In Catholic teaching, while ordained ministers are the ordinary ministers of baptism, anyone—including a non-baptized person—can perform a valid baptism in a case of necessity (emergency) using water and the Trinitarian formula.

Note: Baptism by a person not in communion with the conciliar church. This is an important distinction.

Bishop Schneider says some bishops are afraid to oppose Francis' moral magisterium

In the interview, Bishop Athanasius Schneider also enumerates several teachings of Pope Francis to which he himself says he cannot assent.
(LifeSiteNews) — In a live interview Thursday with longtime Vatican journalist Robert Moynihan, Bishop Athanasius Schneider revealed that he has spoken off the record with several bishops who have said that they do not submit in “mind and will” to the authentic magisterium of Pope Francis. Bishop Schneider added that the bishops he has spoken to “do not dare to say this” publicly but only in private.

“When I ask them personally, off the record, could you accept the switching of your mind on Amoris Laetitia, and the Communion for the divorced and so on, and they say ‘no,’ but publicly they don’t dare to say this,” Schneider told Moynihan.
The revelation is very significant because the Code of Canon Law (833.3) requires bishops to make the 1989 Profession of Faith, wherein they promise to “adhere with religious submission of will and intellect …More

Interesting usage of the term weeds. 'And at the harvest, the weeds will be gathered into bundles (loose collections, sorta Synodal) and burned while the wheat will be gathered into barns (protected within the solid walls of Apostolic Tradition).'

Is Leo XIV About to Demote Archbishop Peña Parra?

Leo XIV is considering appointing Archbishop Edgar Peña Parra, the Substitute for General Affairs, as Nuncio to Italy, reports Nico Spuntoni on IlGiornale.it (26 February).
"The number two in the Secretariat of State has already declined two 'exit' solutions proposed by Leo XIV, but he might consider the post in Villa Giorgina, which would keep him in contention for a future cardinalate."
The current Nuncio to Italy, Monsignor Petar Rajic, could become prefect of the papal household. This post, previously held by Archbishop Georg Gänswein, has been vacant for three years.
Damian Thompson refers to Archbishop Peña Parra as "Francis’s Machiavellian chief of staff". He had admitted to operating with false invoices during the infamous London property deal and thus to misleading the court.

Indeed, all followers of the Apostolic Faith are one. There are many who use the title "church" who are not only not one but a bane on the true Church, e.g. the "church" of Satan. There are likely a few organizations using the title "church" which are one with us in the Apostolic Faith, but I don't think there are many.

BISHOP SCHNEIDER LIKE BISHOP FELLAY AND POPE LEO AVOIDS VC 2 WITH THE RATIONAL PREMISE : UNETHICAL
Bishop Athanasius Schneider is asking for concessions for the SSPX but is not demanding that the SSPX interpret Vatican Council II with the Rational Premise and affirm Feeneyite extra ecclesiam nulla salus (EENS) The SSPX will then meet the Vatican requirement to accept Vatican Council II. The Council will then be out of the way, in their present tension.
Bishop Schneider himself is not interpreting Vatican Council II with the Rational Premise as did the SSPX General Chapter Statement in 2012. The Vatican did not accept it.
The bishop has called for a change in the text of the Council. So he is implying that Vatican Council II is a rupture with Tradition and so he wants the text changed. This is being politically correct with the Left and the Vatican.
If he said that Vatican Council II is not a break with the EENS of the Magisterium and missionaries of the 16th century, may be …More

The Catholic and conservative position on war with Iran

americanthinker.com

The truly conservative position on Iran

On Tuesday night, President Trump made his case for attacking Iran. Over the past few weeks, the Pentagon has assembled more air and naval assets in the Middle East than have been deployed in the region at any time since the invasion of Iraq in 2003. An attack on Iran seems almost certain — indeed, the Times of Israel quoted officials as saying that a strike on Iran is probably “unavoidable.”
Perhaps we ought to ask ourselves if an attack on Iran is prudent or desirable.
The justifications proffered by the Trump administration seem pretextual, and the goalposts have been moving. Last year, when Trump ordered the bombing of Iran, his stated objective was to end Iran’s nuclear enrichment program. The president assured us that this was an overwhelming success. Apparently it was not enough, though. Since then, there has been talk about regime change, punishing Iran for killing anti-government protesters, and destroying Iran’s conventionally armed ballistic missiles.
In his address, …

Is it possible in thinking on this from the Times of Israel article stated here
"to move the president from a limited operation to a larger one" that the reason Trump is being hunted right now as a rapist pedophile is because Trump is so far unwilling to meet the demands of "our greatest ally" for an all out war against Iran;
and so, this is Trump's punishment until he bows down to the will of his masters who will start first with accusations and then with the evidence unless he does exactly what the Times of Israel are exposing is demanded of him?

brhenry

I am not convinced President Trump has the same "regime change" goal as the previous globalist US administrations ie: to change their culture. Iran has publicly declared its decisive goal as the destruction of Isreal and the USA. Decisive proactive measures to thwart this goal are reasonable and arguably necessary.

Archbishop Wester Implies Trump Is Another Hitler: Warns of ‘Bonhoeffer Moment’

Archbishop Wester Implies Trump Is Another Hitler: Warns of ‘Bonhoeffer Moment’

Two prominent U.S. Catholics agree that immigration remains a daunting challenge — but each has starkly different viewpoints about what their faith demands of them during this moment.
First there’s Archbishop John Wester of Santa Fe, who told me in a recent phone interview that he believes we’re living in “a Dietrich Bonhoeffer moment,” invoking the 20th-century Lutheran pastor killed for his anti-Nazi activism. Then there’s Tom Homan, the lifelong Catholic tapped by President Donald Trump to lead the administration’s immigration crackdown.
Wester
signed a recent statement along with 17 other bishops, from Arizona to Rhode Island, calling on Congress and the White House to change how federal agents undertake immigration raids. Among the suggestions: restore the right to seek asylum; end raids at sensitive places like churches, hospitals and schools; keep families intact; lose the masks; and only target bona fide criminals, not immigrants who contribute to the common good.

Hyperbole is worse than Hitler.
Is it ignorance of the actual rise and behavior of Hitler or ignorance of the number of times Trump has been constrained by Congress and the Courts which prompts such an exaggeration?

The strange pectoral cross of Bergoglio

LOOK well at this cross on ANTIPOPE bergoglio that he wore to the delight of the freemasons for their reasons that can be discerned regarding bergoglio and why he and the freemasons conveyed the propaganda inversions that bergoglio was so called a "simple humble man of the poor". ANTIPOPE bergoglio proved himself to be a Formal Heretic and so much more that any observable servant of satan would appreciate .
---
ANTIPOPE bergoglio did not choose a new cross, but kept the one he had as Archbishop, seems to reveal that he does not consider the dignity of a Pope to be essentially higher than that of a Bishop. This also is confirmed by his insistence on being called Bishop of Rome, instead of Pope.
---
In TRUTH bergoglio proved himself to be the opposite of a humble servant of JESUS CHRIST as bergoglio headed a counterfeit "synodal church" as he worked toward destroying the ONE, HOLY, CATHOLIC, and APOSTOLIC CHURCH instituted by our LORD and SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST. ANTIPOPE bergoglio revealed …
