The Impeded Papacy The Katechon, the Obstacle to the Legitimate Holder, and the Eclipse of the Petrine Function Introduction — A question more precise than that of the “pope in contradiction with the Papacy” The present crisis compels us to ask a question that goes beyond the simple alternative between “a legitimate but bad pope” and “an empty see.” The problem can be formulated as follows: What if the Papacy, as a perpetual divine institution, remained intact, while its legitimate occupation were prevented by a power that had seized the visible structures of the Church and presented itself to the world as the Church itself? An ecclesiological hypothesis This hypothesis makes it possible to understand the contemporary paradox differently. On the one hand, Catholicism teaches that the Church is a visible, hierarchical society, founded by Our Lord and visibly governed by a head who holds the place of Peter. Pius XII recalled in 1943 that Christ willed a visible Church and that, after His …More
The Saint Who Refused To Hearken to the Voice of Women On this solemn day of August 29th, as the Church commemorates the Beheading of Saint John the Baptist, the echoes from the dungeon of Machaerus ring louder than ever. We do not honor a man who died for a vague, comfortable ideal; we honor a martyr who shed his blood because he dared to declare a specific, offensive truth to a culture drunk on self-indulgence: It is not lawful for you to have her. The Passion of Saint John is the ultimate warning for our present hour. It lays bare the eternal spiritual battle between the unyielding voice of divine truth and the corrupting spirit of compromise—a spirit fully alive today in the ideology of modern secular feminism. The Tyranny of the Unchecked Will The tragic scene in Herod’s palace is not merely ancient history; it is a masterclass in how Satan operates to subvert God’s order.

Silicon Valley “Neighborhood Masses” Fuse Eucharist and Community Organizing. Worse than Germany: One Saturday a month, Rev. Rick Rodoni, pastor of St. Lucy Parish in the heart of Silicon Valley, celebrates pop-up “Neighborhood Masses.” Posters declare that “everyone is welcome!” The Eucharist is celebrated in a parking area, with a makeshift altar and folding chairs. The liturgy is combined with “community listening sessions.” After the Liturgy of the Word, tables are available for neighbors to express their concerns “during the Mass.”

Worse than Germany: A memorial ceremony for Buddhist woman Marta Pezzati, 59, was held on August 20 in the Catholic Church of San Martino in Rebbio, Como, Italy. Pezzati was president of the volunteer association Como Accoglie and was well known locally for her work assisting migrants and refugees. The ceremony was hosted by the parish priest Giusto Della Valle, who had worked with Pezzati on initiatives involving migrants. Two Buddhist monks participated in the ceremony. One of the monks later told LaNuovaBq.it that the event was “not a Mass and not even a funeral, but a remembrance of Marta's generosity.” He said there had been no Catholic liturgy or Catholic prayer. Priest: “She Found God in Budddha” Video recordings show Father Della Valle and another Catholic priest present wearing an alb and stole. During the ceremony, the two Buddhist monks chanted a Buddhist mantra from the ambo. Father Della Valle also spoke about Pezzati's Buddhist faith. He described her as a “woman of …More
Here is the main document describing the events of 26 October 1958, a document from which all media outlets drew their information, as it was issued by the leading news agency, the Associated Press. Taken from the Northern Virginia Daily, Monday 27 October 1958, pp. 1 and 2. ‘Cardinals vote four [three] times without electing a Pope A mix-up in the smoke signals causes confusion VATICAN CITY (Associated Press) – The cardinals voted four [three] times on Sunday without electing a Pope. Confusion over the smoke signals led people to believe for about half an hour that Pius XII’s successor had been chosen. For a time, the 200,000 [to 300,000] Romans and tourists gathered in the vast St Peter’s Square were convinced that the Roman Catholic Church had a new Pontiff. Millions of others listening to the radio throughout Italy and Europe were equally convinced. They heard the Vatican Radio presenter [Father Pellegrino] exclaim jubilantly: ‘A Pope has been elected. ” The scene around the Vatican …More
Video >>youtube.com/watch?v=-2CO4CUW-bI Massimo Introvigne is an Italian sociologist of religion and one of the world's leading scholars of new religious movements. He has written extensively on Catholic traditionalism, religious liberty, and the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX), and has spent decades studying the movement, including interviewing Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, its founder. Following the SSPX's recent episcopal consecrations and the Vatican's declaration that they constituted a schismatic act, Introvigne offers a sociological perspective on what the future may hold for the movement. In this conversation, Introvigne argues that the SSPX's deepest disagreement with the Catholic Church is not the Latin Mass but its rejection of the Church's teaching on religious liberty and relations with other religions. He explains why he believes the Society has likely passed its period of strongest growth, how Pope Leo XIV has changed the religious landscape that once benefited the movement, …More
Wednesday, 27th August 1913 Frank Sentenced On Murder Charge To Hang October 10, The Atlanta Constitution The Atlanta Constitution, Wednesday, 27th August 1913. Page 1. Motion for New Trial Made and Hearing Set for October 4, 1913, Thus Making It Certain Prisoner Will Get Delay. NEWT LEE IS RELEASED BY ORDER OF THE COURT Leo Frank Tells Judge That He Is Innocent, but That His Case Is in the Hands of Counsel. Leo M. Frank is sentenced to be hanged on Friday, October 10, 1913. This was the date set yesterday morning by Judge Leonard Strickland Roan, when the man convicted of the murder of little Mary Phagan was brought before him to be sentenced on Tuesday, August 26. The fact that the man's attorneys immediately made motion for a new trial and that Judge Roan set this hearing for October 4 makes it certain that Frank will not hang on the date set. Should Judge Roan, after a hearing, grant a new trial, the execution would be postponed; should he refuse it, the execution would be postponed …More
by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira There is a universal crisis inside society today that seeks to overturn all things Christian. Catholic thinker Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira called this universal crisis the Revolution - with a capital R. He held that the two driving forces of this Revolution are the vices of pride and sensuality. The following commentaries show how Saint John the Baptists is a model for all those who wish to oppose this Revolution today, especially in fighting its two central vices. Leveling the mountains of pride and filling the valleys of impurity, Saint John the Baptist is a model of those who say no to the present Revolution against Christianity. * Saint John the Baptist said to Herod back then that which no one today dares to say to the Revolution now: It is not lawful for you to do what you are doing. You cannot do it. He told Herod to his face: it is not lawful for you to take your brother’s wife as a wife. Thus, Herod lived in adultery with this woman. By denouncing him …More
