You’re a tease, you turn ’em on Leave ’em burning and then you’re gone Looking out for another, anyone will do You’re in the mood for a dance And when you get the chance
You are the dancing queen young and sweet, only 17 Dancing queen Feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah You can dance, you can jive Having the time of your life Ooh-ooh, ooh, see that girl, watch that scene Digging the dancing queen
Clip from the ARSH 2019 film “The Two Popes”. This scene depicts then-Cardinals Ratzinger and Bergoglio. Bergoglio is whistling “Dancing Queen” and Ratzinger asks what tune it is. The scene is ridiculous in the sense that they’re speaking in Latin. Bergoglio couldn’t speak Latin. Italian is the language spoken in the Vatican.
Hey, we know that Justin Trudeau is Fidel Castro’s son. If these two creepy people were siblings, would any of us swoon from the shock? After everything that has happened, has been revealed, and continues to be revealed?
Good grief, if multiple FSSP priests, even, tell you to get a conditional laicisation, you probably should get on that. It’s almost as if he doesn’t actually believe that it matters.
Like whether or not he is an ordained priest is just… trivial.
He married his wife four years before his fake Anglican ordination, so his marriage, being antecedent, is valid even if he was actually ordained, but still. He’s got his wife entangled in the possibility of grave sin.
Meh. To make an omelette you gotta break some eggs, amirite?
Anglican orders are invalid, BUT Marshall claims that the man who attempted to ordain him claimed to have Apostolic Succession, so it’s extremely murky.
The main point here, however, is Marshall’s flippant, shrugging, devil-may-care attitude about whether he is or is not a priest forever after the Order of Melchizedek. He clearly doesn’t care. I wonder if he would care if his donation revenue stream were to be cut off tomorrow.
I think we all know that he’d be up in arms and beating down every door. Because, you know, THAT’S actually important. The Sacrament of Holy Orders? Meh. Whatevs. Amirite?
It’s almost as if this prayer were pre-ordained by the Divine Providence for us, now, on May 5th, ARSH 2026, as most believing Catholics have already arrived at or are coming to the sick conclusion that we are living through a second consecutive Antipapacy, and thus we beg God for a True Pope who will restore the Church and crush her enemies.
O, God, Who graciously chose blessed Pius as Supreme Pontiff, to crush the enemies of Your Church and to restore divine worship, grant that we may be guarded by his help and remain so steadfast in Your service that, having overcome the snares of all enemies, we may enjoy a lasting peace.
Remember, not only did Pope St. Pius V Ghislieri, our father in God, assemble the Holy League which defended Europe from musloid invasion and miraculously defeated the Ottoman Fleet at the Battle of Lepanto; not only did he formally consolidate and codify the Venerable Rite of Gregory the Great, the Roman Rite, in the Papal Bull “Quo Primum”, declaring in the final paragraph that anyone who dared alter the universal permission to say the Tridentine Mass would incur the wrath of Almighty God and Saints Peter and Paul; he also promulgated guidance in his first Apostolic Constitution “Cum Primum” for laicizing and handing over to secular authorities for trial and EXECUTION any cleric or religious caught engaging in sodomy.
Look at that list, folks.
1.) Defending Europe from musloid invasion, 2.) giving universal permission for celebration of the Roman Rite (what we now call the Traditional Latin Mass) and forbidding any withdrawal of that permission EVER, and 3.) laicizing and handing over for execution SODOMITES.
Anything strike you?
Antipope Bergoglio attempted to do EXACTLY the opposite on each count, and his hand-picked successor, Antipope Robert “FtR” PERVost is carrying on the satanic agenda with gusto and wool gabardine. Total, perfect inversion. Antipope Bergoglio was instrumental in the ongoing invasion of Europe, attempted to crush the Mass of Pius V, and himself being a sodomite, protected and advanced sodomites and transvestites at every turn, and issued a document detailing “blessings” for sodomite couples. 1,2,3. Antipope PERVost continues apace.
This is why I’m convinced that Antipope Bergoglio had his fetid corpse entombed in St. Mary Major not only to spit in the face of the Blessed Virgin Mary whom he never missed a chance to denigrate and blaspheme, but also to spit in the face of Pope St. Pius V Ghislieri, whom Antipope Bergoglio clearly hated, and is entombed in St. Mary Major.
I’m a bit embarrassed how long it’s taken me to get where I am spiritually and theologically. After several years in evangelical/charismatic Protestant ministry, I was received into the Catholic Church in 2004 at the age of (redacted).
Amoris Laetitia and the summer of shame woke me up out of my Conciliar slumbers and I began to transition into traditional Catholicism. There was also a Novus Ordo dumpster fire in (city redacted) that was an epiphany.
Just recently I moved to be closer to my SSPX chapel and pursue a contemplative lifestyle. Praying for others is my new day job.
Jesus often rebuked the disciples for being slow to learn and hard of heart. I cop to both of those.
Just a few days ago I finally acknowledged that the last two “popes” are antipopes. I fought it for years using the same defense you’ve heard many times:
“An assertion like that is above my pay-grade. I’m just a layman. It’s something to be decided by a consistory of Cardinals after the ‘pope’ has died. It’s a very complex and nuanced issue requiring special training. As they say, ‘Don’t try this at home.’“
I was also struck by the fact that two clerics I really respect, Fr. Ripperger and Bishop A. Schneider, did not see Francis and Leo as antipopes. Once again I felt that they must be privy to profound theological knowledge and insights from Church history that I wasn’t. It seemed best to defer to my betters.
However, I was haunted by certain gut-level realities and a kind of inescapable logic:
(1) The Holy Spirit is supposed to safeguard the Pope when he is holding forth on issues related to the Extraordinary and Ordinary Magisterium.
(2) Francis and Leo promote heresy.
(3) Either I’m not understanding them (here’s where the popesplainers come in with their gaslighting) or they are antipopes.
A thought process I fought that complements this: “If Francis and Leo promulgate heresy and don’t defer to the Magisterium, then they’re not Catholic, and, if they’re not Catholic, then they can’t be the pope.”
Many factors helped me finally see that they are antipopes and at the top of the list were Ed Mazza’s book and your podcast. Thanks so much for your labors!
BTW…your podcast is hands-down better than anything that shows up from Catholic content-creators on You Tube. I’m late to the game so I am working backwards.
I’m definitely planning to give to you financially in the future. The Tombstone Four will also be in my prayers.
I’m not good at many things but God has given me the grace to intercede for others. Intercessors are needed as the Mystical Body of Christ endures her Passion.
In 2026 many Rosaries, other prayers, days of fasting, my willingness to suffer, etc. will be offered up from time to time and united to Masses given at the SSPX for the Tombstone Four. I believe in your mission.
I was originally inspired to post this visual metaphor by the big “Letter” posted and signed by 19 people accusing Antipope Bergoglio of being a heretic years back. Well, duh, of course he was. But he wasn’t then nor ever had been the Pope, so the whole exercise was built on a false premise. The Venn Diagram of the raging psycho heretic Jorge Bergoglio and the Papacy have zero overlap. Zero.
We love action. There’s no doubt about that. But here’s the problem. The BASE PREMISE from which any action proceeds MUST BE TRUE. Truth is the foundation, and out of Truth proceeds Charity. Out of Charity proceeds works. In order for these actions or works to be effective, they MUST proceed out of the TRUTH. If acts proceed out of a charity built upon a false base premise, the acts will not only never get any real traction, but they will generally lead to more chaos, which yields despair after a while, as we are seeing.
You all have noticed that all of these initiatives never accomplish anything, right? It isn’t because there is “nothing we can do”. The problem is that these actions are like a two wheel drive 1981 Isuzu pickup stuck in the mud. No matter how much you mash the throttle, you’re never getting any traction. In fact, the wheel-spinning just digs the wheels into the mud deeper. You can even get 19 of your friends to push, but they can’t get any traction in the slick mud of error, so it just turns into a big, muddy cluster-bungle. Pretty soon the 19 friends either start fighting with each other in their frustration over their inability to accomplish anything, or they just walk off in despair calling the whole thing futile.
But the man whose works proceed out of a charity built upon the TRUTH is like the driver of a D8 Caterpillar. The mud doesn’t even faze the D8. Its tracks move over mud with complete security. The D8 is the master of the mud. The mud is moved away by the D8, and the mud has nothing to say about it. And while the 1981 2WD Isuzu is being pushed to no effect by 19 men, one man alone, let’s call him ATHANASIUS, can sit in the cab of the D8 and maneuver the big yellow behemoth literally with his fingertips. Alone. The TRUTH gives him that power, because the Truth is Our Lord Himself.
Pope Benedict XVI’s attempted partial abdication and “fundamental transformation” of the Papacy, something he and the entire German theological academy had been discussing AD NAUSEUM since the 1960s (you HAVE READ J. Michael Miller’s ARSH 1979 dissertation, “The Divine Right of the Papacy in Recent Ecumenical Theology”, RIIIIGHT?), into a “collegial, synodal ministry/function” along the lines of “active governance of the Church” and “prayerful contemplative” lines was SUBSTANTIALLY ERRONEOUS, and thus per Canon 188 backed up by Canon 332.2 was INVALID BY THE LAW ITSELF, and thus Pope Benedict XVI, despite his attempt to kinda-sorta-but-not-completely quit, never stopped being the one and only Pope, and remained so until his death on 31 December, ARSH 2022.
As we all know well, ERROR HAS NO RIGHTS, including substantial errors made by a Pope in the context of an attempted resignation. Rights are a claim given ultimately by God, and God has no error in Him, nor ever can have error in Him. Therefore, to say that the Pope, or even more laughably the College of Cardinals, or College of Bishops in toto, can give RIGHTS to ERROR, even a Papal error, is to put both the Pope himself and – wait for it – the College of Cardinals ABOVE GOD (never mind Canon Law!). We have the word Papolatry, now we’re going to have to coin “Episcopalatry” and “Cardinalatry”.
Well, folks. The D8’s idling, and there’s mud to push, and I’ve got a spring in my step, a bee in my bonnet, and a bat in my belfry, and an axe to grind with the Pachabitch and her worshippers, so keep a close eye on this space.
Keep your chin up, go to Mass as often as you possibly can, pray the Rosary, and if the priests where you are STILL commemorate “Leo” at the Te Igitur, consider asking Our Lord to give you any temporal punishment, if any, that your priest might be incurring by commemorating an Antipope, as I started doing years ago during the previous Antipapacy, in imitation of Our Lord in the Garden. “Oddly”, doing this makes assisting at a Mass at which Antipope PERVost might still be erroneously commemorated even more awesome and profitable, and enflames tremendous compassion toward priests today, so many of whom are frightened, confused and internally conflicted by the Bergoglian and now Prevostian Antipapacies.
And thanks to one and all, truly, for the incredible continuing support, both financial (which never ceases to gobsmack me) and with your truly kind emails of edification and encouragement, and assurances of prayer. Folks, if I make it to the Beatific Vision, we’re going to have one HECK of a party in whatever room I get in the Celestial Mansion. I’m talking the super-fancy truffle baloney and ALL the smelly cheeses – classy. I hope it has a mini-fridge! And I’m going to let Our Lord bring the wine. Word is He has excellent taste.
St. Athanasius, contra mundum, pray for us!
Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on us, and on Your Holy Catholic Church, in terrifyingly visible eclipse, outside of which there is no salvation.
You might appreciate this photograph today especially, the day of +Bp Gracida’s death. This photograph came to me from an old monk at Saint Vincent Archabbey in Latrobe, PA. The future bishop is on the far left, first row, on the day of his priestly ordination, May 23, 1959 at Blessed Sacrament Cathedral in Greensburg, PA. He was ordained by Bishop Hugh Louis Lamb, the first bishop of the diocese of Greensburg. Gracida was a monk from Saint Vincent Monastery for 10 years (1951-1961) and the Archabbot Denis Strittmayer is on Bishop Lamb’s left.
Today’s Epistle for the Feast of Sts. Philip and James immediately brought to mind the old axiomatic truism:
“First they laugh at you. Then they fear you. Then you win.”
Hang in there, folks. Keep praying, and GO. TO. MASS.
Lesson from the book of Wisdom
Wis. 5:1-5
The just shall stand with great assurance before their oppressors who set at nought their labors. Seeing this, these shall be shaken with dreadful fear, and amazed at the suddenness of the unlooked-for salvation. They shall say among themselves, rueful and groaning through anguish of spirit: These are they whom once we held as a laughingstock and as a type for mockery, fools that we were! Their life we deemed madness, and their death dishonored. See how they are accounted among the sons of God; how their lot is with the Saints!
In this Episode, the Tombstone Four reunite at The Everything’s-Not-OK Corral for the first time since Holy Week to try to parse events – and a LOT has happened, including a third assassination attempt (should that be in scare quotes?) that once again couldn’t seem to outlast the 36 hour news cycle. The witch in drag getting the red-carpet treatment in occupied Rome and how it relates to the upcoming SSPX episcopal consecrations is discussed, and Dr. Mazza lends fascinating historical insight into the investiture of bishops not historically being the exclusive domain of the Papacy, which is good to know considering that there is no living Pope, and no one seems the least bit interested in doing anything about it. Finally, don’t miss Ann’s digression on Chernobyl and the near-total extermination of “serious men” from the Post-Christian West. We’re the physicists screaming that the Core is split open, while Trad Inc keeps repeating, “3.6 Roentgen; not great, not terrible. I’ve seen worse.” (If you haven’t watched the Chernobyl miniseries from a few years ago, you should. It is some of the best TV content ever produced.)
The Infant Jesus of Prague handles Ann’s financial stuff. Click image for details. [If you have a recurring donation set up and need to cancel for any reason – don’t hesitate to do so!]
From Letter 16, St. Catherine of Siena. It hits extra hard this year.
I beg you to make it so, so that hard word will not be said to you as a reprimand from the First Truth, saying, “Cursed be you who were silent.” Oh, be silent no more! Cry out with a hundred thousand tongues. I see that, through being silent, the world is spoiled, the Bride of Christ has paled, her color taken from her …Don’t sleep in negligence any longer. Act at the present time, however you can. I believe that there will come a time when you can no longer act; but now, at the present time, I invite you to strip your soul of all self-love, and dress it in hunger and real, true virtue, to the honor of God and the health of your soul.
