- [The akaCatholic Podcast: Episode 3](https://akacatholic.com/the-akacatholic-podcast-episode-3/) - In this episode of the podcast, I offer a review - through Catholic eyes - of the film, The Great Awakening, third in the Plandemic series of documentaries by filmmaker Mikki Willis. Here, I provide a handful of excerpts while discussing what the documentary does well, what it gets right, as well as where it
- [USCCB Tackles Gender Affirming Care: Satan wins again](https://akacatholic.com/usccb-tackles-gender-affirming-care/) - At its annual Spring Assembly to be held this week in Orlando, FL (June 14-16, 2023), the hirelings that comprise the USCCB will vote on whether or not to amend the “Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services” to include commentary aimed at regulating Catholic institutions’ participation in what godless leftists call “gender
- [Full Communion: Conciliar poison inescapable](https://akacatholic.com/full-communion-conciliar-poison-inescapable/) - On March 30, 1959, Jewish Telegraph Agency (JTA) published an article titled: Jews in Italy Hail Pope’s Elimination of Slur from “Good Friday” Prayer The “slur” in question refers to the prayer, Oremus pro Judaeis perfidis (“Let us pray for the perfidious Jews”). The wording of this ancient prayer predates the 1570 Roman Missal by nearly a thousand
- [Masterpiece Theatre: SSPX Love Letter to Leo](https://akacatholic.com/masterpiece-theatre-sspx-love-letter-to-leo/) - The repartee between the Society of St. Pius X and the Conciliar Church has blossomed into a tragicomic caricature of churchmanship, an ecclesial version of Saturday Night Live, an ever more tiresome spoof put on by actors who effortlessly drift between parody and absurdity. Don’t get me wrong, as numerous posts on this blog indicate,
- [SSPX: Excommunication with Explanation](https://akacatholic.com/sspx-excommunication-with-explanation/) - From the time of Saint Paul VI until the most recent talks… So begins the Explanatory Note published today by the Dicastery for the Destruction of the Faith regarding the (conciliar) excommunications resulting from the SSPX episcopal consecrations of July 1, 2026. [Translation of the Italian provided by Info Vaticana] How entirely fitting to begin the Note thus!
- [Pro-Thesis Citations: A closer look](https://akacatholic.com/pro-thesis-citations-a-closer-look/) - “If indeed jurisdiction is supplied, Catholic common sense would seem to insist that it is supplied only to those sacred ministers (like Bishop Roy and others, including Bishop Sanborn) who are committed to laboring with the Church in the work of sanctification, as opposed to those who labor in total opposition to her.” So concluded the previous post. Picking up
- [Jurisdiction Supplied: OK, but to whom?](https://akacatholic.com/jurisdiction-supplied-ok-but-to-whom/) - Posts discussing the Thesis, meaning those that point to its deficiencies, always elicit an unusually large response from readers. My most recent one is no exception. One of the respondents is a dear priest friend whose opinions I genuinely value. Rather than reply to his comments in private, the way they were offered, I decided
- [USCCB, et al. Issue Statement to the G7:](https://akacatholic.com/usccb-et-al-issue-statement-to-the-g7/) - The USCCB released a joint statement today from the “Presidents of the Catholic Bishops’ Conferences of Canada, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, and the United States, with the support of the President of the Commission of the Bishops’ Conferences of the European Union, on the Occasion of the G7 Summit.” Read in its fullness, this statement
- [Thesis: If you know, you know...](https://akacatholic.com/thesis-if-you-know-you-know/) - As regular readers of this space can attest, rarely do I offer quotes from the (sometimes many) messages I receive in response to my articles. Even more rarely do I feel moved (if ever, I really don't recall) to post entire reader emails. That trend isn't likely to change in any meaningful way moving forward,
- [What is Bishop Sanborn so afraid of?](https://akacatholic.com/what-is-bishop-sanborn-so-afraid-of/) - By now, most readers of this space have heard about the Unam Sanctam initiative that was established by Bishop Pierre Roy. (See post dated April 22 HERE for more, including a link to an extensive interview with His Excellency.) The following, taken from a statement on the homepage of the Unam Sactam website, summarizes its purpose: It is the
- [Logical Catholic Consistency: RCI or SSPX? ](https://akacatholic.com/logical-catholic-consistency-rci-or-sspx/) - In a recent post on X, Rev. Fr. Nicolás E. Despósito voiced his criticism of the SSPX, writing: Is the SSPX just controlled opposition? They claim to defend Tradition but destroy faith in an infallible Church. Recognizing a Pope only to treat his Mass and Sacraments as poison makes popes out to be Vicars of Satan. They
- [AI Fraud in Catholic Media: Say it ain’t so! ](https://akacatholic.com/ai-fraud-in-catholic-media-say-it-aint-so/) - AI is all the talk in Catholic circles these days thanks to Leo’s 42,000-word tome, Magnifica Humanitas. At present, I’m still attempting to digest that voluminous text and will have more to say about it soon enough. For now, however, I’d like to address an issue that isn’t getting nearly the attention it deserves, namely, the
- [SSPX v Conciliar Rome: A Family Feud](https://akacatholic.com/sspx-v-conciliar-rome-a-family-feud/) - On May 14, the SSPX made public a “Declaration of Faith” signed by its Superior General, Fr. Davide Pagliarani, addressed to the “Most Holy Father.” Its purpose? I suppose only the brain trust at SSPX headquarters in Metzingen can say for sure, but it looks to me a lot like a PR move designed to
- [Remember this Day in History: Even if it makes no sense](https://akacatholic.com/remember-this-day-in-history-even-if-it-makes-no-sense/) - Who among us could ever forget the significance of today’s date? For it was on this day in 1981 that Pope John Paul II passed through Rome, which at the time was a city half in ruins. As he made his way through the city, the Holy Father was accompanied by bishops, priests, and
- [Who are the 'messianic people' of Vatican II?](https://akacatholic.com/who-are-the-messianic-people-of-vatican-ii/) - In the episode of Conciliar Catechesis Watch for the General audience of March 11, we made note of a title for the Christian faithful that appears to have originated in Lumen Gentium, namely “the messianic people,” which is invoked twice in article 9. [NOTE: Before continuing, for those who have yet to do so, it
- [As went the Council, so goes the world](https://akacatholic.com/as-went-the-council-so-goes-the-world/) - In 2015, America Magazine published an article celebrating Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel’s influential role in shaping the Vatican II document Nostra Aetate. America reports: From the very beginning, Rabbi Heschel worked hard to remove from the teaching of the Catholic Church any anti-Semitic words and any reference to a mission of the church for the conversion of
- [The more you look, the worse it gets...](https://akacatholic.com/the-more-you-look-the-worse-it-gets/) - The more one examines the text of Vatican II, the more of a farce both it and the counterfeit church that it birthed appear to be. This can happen in one of two ways. The most common occurs when one uses the complete conciliar text as a glossary in order to define precisely what the Council
- [The 1968 Rite of Episcopal Consecration: Valid?](https://akacatholic.com/the-1968-rite-of-episcopal-consecration-valid/) - Among the thornier issues facing intrepid seekers of Catholic truth in our day concerns the 1968 Rite of Episcopal Consecration and whether or not it’s truly valid. Given that the rite was promulgated by the same scoundrel that gifted the world with the Novus Ordo Missae, it only makes sense that those drawn to tradition
- [Is the Church Militant paralyzed?](https://akacatholic.com/is-the-church-militant-paralyzed/) - For those who have yet to do so, I highly recommend watching the interview (available at the end of this post) of Bishop Pierre Roy on Catholic Family Podcast. Getting right to the point, while the long-held attitude among most so-called “traditionalists” and sedevacantists seems to be that the present ecclesial crisis can only be
- [EXPOSED: Vatican Evidence Tampering ](https://akacatholic.com/exposed-vatican-evidence-tampering/) - Here in the U.S., evidence tampering is a felony defined by statute as knowingly altering, destroying, mutilating, concealing, covering up, or making a false entry in any record, document, or tangible object with the intent to impede, obstruct, or influence... Those found guilty of evidence tampering face up to 20 years in federal prison. It’s treated
- [Popes, Presidents, and Partisanship](https://akacatholic.com/popes-presidents-and-partisanship/) - It is at once predictable, informative, and in some cases, disappointing to witness the way in which so many Catholics are reacting to the recent war-of-words between Robert Prevost (stage name: Leo) and Doanld J. Trump. The tension itself, however, is nothing new. Bergoglio, who died just three months into Trump’s second term, was also
- [Conciliar Catechesis Watch: Lumen Gentium – Part Four](https://akacatholic.com/conciliar-catechesis-watch-lumen-gentium-part-four/) - At his General Audience on March 18th, Leo’s continued his catechesis on Lumen Gentium by immediately mentioning “the messianic people.” As mentioned in our last episode of Conciliar Catechesis Watch, this is a title for the Christian faithful that appears to have originated at Vatican Council II. I’ll have more on that in an upcoming podcast. From
- [Fr. Ripperger: The 'ecumenical' exorcist](https://akacatholic.com/fr-ripperger-the-ecumenical-exorcist/) - On Good Friday, the day on which the Holy Catholic Church was born from the pierced side of our Blessed Savior, Tucker Carlson published a lengthy (one hour and forty-five minute) interview of Fr. Chad Ripperger. For those unfamiliar (and there aren’t many), Fr. Ripperger is an exorcist, but not just any exorcist. He also
- [Cardinal Pizzaballa: Victim of his own theology](https://akacatholic.com/cardinal-pizzaballa-victim-of-his-own-theology/) - As readers are by now well aware, on Palm Sunday, one of the holiest days of the liturgical year, Israeli authorities denied Cardinal Pizzaballa access to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. A statement issued by The Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem reported that “Israeli Police prevented” Cardinal Pizzaballa and Fr. Francesco Ielpo, OFM, “from entering
- [Conciliar Catechesis Watch: Lumen Gentium - Part Three](https://akacatholic.com/conciliar-catechesis-watch-lumen-gentium-part-three/) - In this week's catechesis, Leo expounds upon the conciliar treatment of "the People of God." Sure, St. Peter used that expression (1 Peter 2:10), but rest assured, he meant something entirely different... NOTE: An article / transcript appears below the video for those who prefer to read. ARTICLE / TRANSCRIPT During his General Audience on
- [Leophoria: Still alive and most unwell](https://akacatholic.com/leophoria-still-alive-and-most-unwell/) - On March 25, Rorate Caeli published a post titled: Pope Sends Message to French Bishops Regarding the Traditional Mass The papal communique swiftly exploded on the Catholic social media scene, leaving a delusional wave of Leophoria reverberating in its wake. Stella Maris Media (Christine Niles of Church Militant fame) ran a headline that reads: Pope
- [FACT CHECK: "Pope" Leo's Pachamama Past](https://akacatholic.com/fact-check-pope-leos-pachamama-past/) - Recent reports allege that Fr. Robert Prevost, O.S.A. (current stage name: Leo) participated in a Pachamama ritual in 1995, openly breaking the First Commandment. This is a serious charge, especially since it concerns the man claiming to be the Roman Pontiff. Justice demands the closest scrutiny before drawing any conclusions. In this episode, Mario Derksen
- [Conciliar Catechesis Watch: Lumen Gentium - Part Two](https://akacatholic.com/conciliar-catechesis-watch-lumen-gentium-part-two/) - On March 4th, Leo continued his catechesis on Lumen Gentium wherein he managed to teach an important truth, but then quickly followed by offering a purely conciliar (and decidedly false) treatment of the Church and her members. The topics covered in this episode have far reaching consequences, most especially as it concerns the validity of
- [The Zionist Deception - Episode One](https://akacatholic.com/the-zionist-deception-episode-one/) - In this episode, we'll look more closely at what Zionist propagandists' are selling to naive souls as "Western values" that are common to both Christians and self-identified Jews. We'll also meet two of the "Founding Fathers" of the modern state of Israel in order to consider their religious arguments in favor of a Jewish state.
- [The Zionist Deception: A closer look](https://akacatholic.com/the-zionist-deception-closer-look/) - Nearly one year ago to the day, I published the introduction to an akaCatholic Podcast series entitled, The Zionist Deception. I had every intention of publishing the next episode within a few weeks, but several things - some of which were out of my control - managed to divert my attention, not the least of
- [Conciliar Catechesis Watch: Lumen Gentium - Part One](https://akacatholic.com/conciliar-catechesis-watch-lumen-gentium-part-one/) - The General Audience of February 18, is a two-for-one deal. Not only does Leo provide insight into the conciliar folly, it's also a coming out party of sorts wherein Leo waves the Modernist flag for all to see. As always, an article / transcript appears below the video. TRANSCRIPT As he continued his catechesis on
- [SSPX Marketing Dept. Sends Letter to Rome](https://akacatholic.com/sspx-marketing-dept-sends-letter-to-rome/) - The big news whirled through Catholic social media like a tornado: The General Council of the Society of Saint Pius X published its response to the Vatican’s resident mouth healer, Tucho Fernandez, Prefect of the Dicastery for the Destruction of the Faith. As everyone now knows, the big news is that the SSPX has declined Tucho’s
- [Conciliar Catechesis Watch: Dei Verbum - Part 5](https://akacatholic.com/conciliar-catechesis-watch-dei-verbum-part-5/) - In his General Audience of February 11, 2026, Leo engaged in a time honored conciliar pastime, setting the truth aside in order to express solidarity with the Protestants. I have little doubt that some of what Leo had to say about Sacred Scripture will disturb those who have never closely considered the Council's actual teaching.
- [Conciliar Catechesis Watch: Dei Verbum – Part 4](https://akacatholic.com/conciliar-catechesis-watch-dei-verbum-part-4/) - On February 4, 2026, Leo continued his so-called catechesis on the conciliar text with his fourth installment on the Constitution on Divine Revelation. This particular treatment was relatively brief, but even so, Leo was able to seize the opportunity to lend comfort to "Me and my Bible" heretics. We'll discuss this and more in this
- [An offer the SSPX better refuse](https://akacatholic.com/an-offer-the-sspx-better-refuse/) - Vatican correspondent, Diane Montagna posted (on X) “a working English translation” of a Statement issued by the Dicastery for the Destruction of the Faith following today’s meeting between its Prefect, Tucho “Mouth Healer” Fernández, and Fr. Davide Pagliarani, Superior General of the SSPX. The statement begins by characterizing the meeting as “cordial and sincere.” Already,
- [Has the Church Defected? The SSPX speaks](https://akacatholic.com/has-the-church-defected-the-sspx-speaks/) - In this episode of the akaCatholic podcast, we'll take a closer look at Bishop Fellay's sermon as given at St. Thomas Aquinas Seminary this past Sunday, February 8, 2026. The sermon provides more insight into the Society’s view of the present situation, but even more importantly, it gives the sincere seeker of truth – including
- [The SSPX Brand: Offering refuge from the Chuch](https://akacatholic.com/the-sspx-brand-offering-refuge-from-the-chuch/) - The SSPX recently announced its intent to consecrate more bishops, even apart from "papal" [sic] approval. This has invited a wave of additional scrutiny. God willing, as a result, more eyes will be opened to the truth in the process. Society leadership is at great pains to make the naïve believe that the putrid organization
- [Conciliar Catechesis Watch: Dei Verbum - Part 3](https://akacatholic.com/conciliar-catechesis-watch-dei-verbum-part-3/) - What gives the conciliar church the right to behave as if what the Church consistently taught in ages past is now up for discussion and possible revision? Why does it engage in "Synodality," inviting lay men and women to participate in roundtable discussions to share their religious experiences in order to "develop" Tradition? The answer
- [The Spirit of Truth: Both Teacher and Guide](https://akacatholic.com/the-spirit-of-truth-both-teacher-and-guide/) - What if I told you that one individual mistranslated word in Sacred Scripture opened wide the door for neo-modernism, directly undermining Catholic ecclesiology such as it was taught for nearly 2,000 years, specifically, as it concerns the inability of the Church to err in matters of faith and morals? Would you believe it? Obviously, these
- [Conciliar Catechesis Watch: Dei Verbum - Part 2](https://akacatholic.com/conciliar-catechesis-watch-dei-verbum-part-2/) - On Wednesday, January 21st, Leo continued his so-called “conciliar catechesis” on the Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation, Dei Verbum. In this Audience, Leo was hyper-focused on the humanity of Jesus Christ, almost as if a new version of the Monophysite heresy had recently exploded on the scene whereby the humanity of Our Lord is being
- [Vatican II Revisited: Gaudium et Spes - Part Two](https://akacatholic.com/vatican-ii-revisited-gaudium-et-spes-part-two/) - In this episode of Vatican II Revisited, Kevin and I complete our examination of Gaudium et Spes and its unbridled, almost giddy, treatment of the soaring dignity of man. Along the way, viewers will discover how the Council undermined the Church's perennial teaching on marriage, the unique role of the husband as head of household,
- [The Trad Movement: Protestantism in drag](https://akacatholic.com/the-trad-movement-protestantism-in-drag/) - On January 19, 2026, Timothy Flanders published an article at OnePeterFive, the website that he serves as Editor-in-Chief. In it, Flanders provides readers with a list of what he calls, “Non-Negotiables of the Trad Movement,” which he describes as “the common denominators which unite all those who call themselves ‘traditional Catholics.’” According to Flanders, the category
- [Conciliar Catechesis Watch: Dei Verbum](https://akacatholic.com/conciliar-catechesis-watch-dei-verbum/) - At his most recent General Audience, Leo began his catechesis on the Council documents in earnest with a look at the Constitution on Divine Revelation. Well, he looked at one sentence anyway, using it a springboard to launch into a deceptive blather session on divine friendship. And just you wait until you hear what he
- [Conciliar Catechesis Watch: Introduction](https://akacatholic.com/conciliar-catechesis-watch-introduction/) - On Wednesday, Leo launched a new initiative with an Introduction to his planned General Audience series consisting of catechesis on the documents of Vatican II. For how long this weekly series will go on is anyone's guess, but it seems likely to go on up to and perhaps beyond Lent. In any case, beginning today,
- [The Sudden Silence of Raymond Burke](https://akacatholic.com/the-sudden-silence-of-raymond-burke/) - At the Rome Life Forum that took place in early December, John-Henry Westen did his best Captain Obvious impersonation, remarking, “We are in strange times.” In a video excerpt posted on YouTube, Westen explained: Think about this: In the last pontificate, we had Dubia cardinals. Something very strange is that now we have an American pope who speaks
- [Taylor Marshall's Candidacy: Just one more thing...](https://akacatholic.com/taylor-marshalls-candidacy-just-one-more-thing/) - In response to my article on Taylor Marshall’s recently suspended, make-pretend, bid for the Office of President of the United States of America, a thoughtful reader raised a valid question: Had Marshall perhaps run afoul of Federal Election Commission regulations? Hoodwinking his naïve colleagues (at LifeSite News, for example), betraying his trusting friends (like his “good
- [Vatican II Revisited: Gaudium et Spes - Part One](https://akacatholic.com/vatican-ii-revisited-gaudium-et-spes-part-one/) - In this episode of Vatican II Revisited, Kevin Davis and I take a look at Gaudium et Spes, the Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World. The importance of this document, by far the lengthiest of the sixteen produced at Vatican II, is widely under-appreciated. This is, in my observation, for two reasons,
- [Religious Deception: Are souls lost as a result?   ](https://akacatholic.com/religious-deception-are-souls-lost-as-a-result/) - I recently received a private message from a reader that probably reflects the views of many others. Why do you bother working so hard to convince people that the “conciliar church” isn’t really the Catholic Church? This seems like a waste of time. Even if you’re correct, you have to admit that the deception is
- [John Salza, Remnant convict "former traditional Catholics"](https://akacatholic.com/john-salza-remnant-convict-former-traditional-catholics/) - A number of readers have asked me to comment on a recent article written for the Remnant by John Salza concerning the status of the man known as Francis. More than one person has even suggested that Mr. Salza is referring directly to me when he writes: Unfortunately, those who are looking for a simple,
- [Church Bells for Life 2026](https://akacatholic.com/church-bells-for-life-2026/) - It is my great honor and pleasure to share the following from Randy Engel, a valued contributor, a dear friend, and a true pioneer in the fight against every assault against innocent human life. Randy's voice is, and always has been, that of a faithful Catholic first and foremost. She is a model that many
- [The One-Hundredth Anniversary of Quas Primas](https://akacatholic.com/the-one-hundredth-anniversary-of-quas-primas/) - A full century has passed since Pope Pius XI instituted the Feast of Christ the King with the Encyclical, Quas Primas. His reason for doing so was both supremely noble and eminently simple: So that the Kingship of our Savior would be recognized and understood as widely as possible. (cf Quas Primas 21) Nearly forty
- [Novus Ordo: Alcuin Reid's "definitive article"](https://akacatholic.com/novus-ordo-alcuin-reids-definitive-article/) - On December 9, The Catholic Herald published an article by Dom Alcuin Reid titled: Whither the Mass of Vatican II? The article swiftly received a most coveted endorsement, the imprimatur of Peter Kwasniewski, the de facto Pontifex Pelicanus, who described Reid’s dissertation as: …the definitive article to send to people whenever they say "the Novus Ordo is the
- [Vatican II Revisited: Dignitatis Humanae - Part 2](https://akacatholic.com/vatican-ii-revisited-dignitatis-humanae-part-2/) - In this episode of Vatican II Revisited, Kevin Davis and I wrap up our examination of the Declaration on Religious Freedom with a closer look at what the conciliar church considers the most desirable arrangement between the Church and the State in light of the Council's teaching. [SPOILER ALERT: It looks nothing like what the
- [Vatican II Revisited: Dignitatis Humanae - Part 1](https://akacatholic.com/vatican-ii-revisited-dignitatis-humanae-part-1/) - In this episode of Vatican II Revisited, Kevin Davis and I examine what is perhaps the most controversial of the sixteen Council documents, the Declaration on Religious Freedom. Why is this declaration so widely disparaged by so many Catholics, from the moderately "conservative" to the staunchest of so-called "traditionalists"? For two reasons: First, because it
- [Does Christ the King reign from the Cross?](https://akacatholic.com/does-christ-the-king-reign-from-the-cross/) - This upcoming Sunday, as the conciliar church celebrates the Judaized Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe, sincere but naïve persons, most of whom simply want to believe and live as Catholics, will be fed a series of aberrant ideas that obscure the Church’s true doctrine on the Kingship of Christ. Among
- [Where have all the heroes gone?](https://akacatholic.com/where-have-all-the-heroes-gone/) - The bar for what many Catholics consider episcopal heroism is so low right now that it would take a world class limbo dancer to slither beneath it. Case in point: Bishop Joseph Strickland and the 47-second-long comment that he made at the recent USCCB meeting in Baltimore. For those who wish to read his comments,
- [Peter Pelican and the Bright Red Line](https://akacatholic.com/peter-pelican-and-the-bright-red-line/) - Catholic social media is still abuzz over the recent Doctrinal Note on Some Marian Titles published by the Dicastery for the Destruction of the Faith, and few commenters, it seems, are receiving it with "an inner assent which is based on the high supernatural authority of the Holy See.” (See Ott, Fundamentals of Catholic Dogma) Trad, Inc.’s
- [DDF Note on Mary: An R&R dilemma](https://akacatholic.com/ddf-note-on-mary-an-rr-dilemma/) - The Doctrinal Note on Some Marian Titles published by the Dicastery for the Destruction of the Faith is being met, and for good reason, with indignation on the part of many tradition-minded Catholics (if you’ll pardon the redundancy). No doubt, the captains of the Resist the Pope movement will do likewise in the coming hours and days.
- [Six Glorious Decades](https://akacatholic.com/six-glorious-decades/) - On October 28, the Occupied Vatican hosted an event celebrating the 60th Anniversary of Nostra Aetate, the Second Vatican Council's ode to those religions of the world that reject its King. Chief among those false religions is Talmudism, the demonic cult of those to whom Our Lord refers as "the Synagogue of Satan, those who
- [Cardinal Burke's TLM: Let's make a deal?](https://akacatholic.com/cardinal-burkes-tlm-lets-make-a-deal/) - In mid-July, Cardinal Burke, speaking at a Latin Mass conference, said: It is my hope that he [Leo XVI] will put an end to the persecution of the faithful in the Church who desire to worship God according to the more ancient usage of the Roman Rite – this persecution from within the Church. He
- [King of the Universe: What's in a name?](https://akacatholic.com/king-of-the-universe-whats-in-a-name/) - This past Sunday, the Roman Rite of the Catholic Church celebrated the Feast of Christ the King. In his magnificent Encyclical, Quas Primas, by which Pope Pius XI instituted the Feast in 1925, the Holy Father explained his motives for doing so. Among them: - So that, by the public veneration of the Kingship of Christ,
- [Cardinal Burke's TLM: And the devil laughed](https://akacatholic.com/cardinal-burkes-tlm-and-the-devil-laughed/) - The TLM offered at St. Peter’s Basilica on Saturday by Cardinal Raymond Burke sent the captains, crew members, and passengers aboard the Good Ship Tradipop tap dancing for joy. All concerned evidently fail (or refuse) to recognize, however, that their vessel of choice has far more in common with the Titanic than the Barque of St.
- [Vatican II Revisited: Nostra Aetate](https://akacatholic.com/vatican-ii-revisited-nostra-aetate/) - As many readers have likely heard, on Tuesday, Oct. 28, Leo XIV, leader of the conciliar church, is planning to host representatives of Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Jainism, Sikhism, Buddhism and other such false religions in celebration of Nostra Aetate - the Declaration on the Church's Relationship with the Non-Christian Religions. This alone should motivate readers
- [Vatican II Revisited: Unitatis Redintegratio](https://akacatholic.com/vatican-ii-revisited-unitatis-redintegratio/) - In this episode of Vatican II Revisited, Kevin Davis and I examine the Decree on Ecumenism, a document that, although approved at the third of the Council's four sessions, serves very much as a key to understanding the thrust of certain other conciliar texts, such as Sacrosanctum Concilium (which we examined in the previous episode)
- [Trad, Inc. Confirms: St. Peter's is violated](https://akacatholic.com/trad-inc-confirms-st-peters-is-violated/) - Following the LGBTQ+ invasion of St. Peter’s Basilica on September 6, I posted portions of the 1917 Code of Canon Law that address such despicable acts. In short: A church is violated by impious and sordid use. A violated church is to undergo a rite of reconciliation as quickly as possible according to the Ceremonial of Bishops. It
- [Talmudic Atonement: "Our oaths are not oaths"](https://akacatholic.com/talmudic-atonement-our-oaths-are-not-oaths/) - As I write, Yom Kippur – the Day of Atonement - is being observed by self-identified Jews the world over, a growing number of whom have been critical of Israeli Prime Minister “Bibi” Netanyahu’s track record of committing to negotiations or other agreements aimed at establishing peace, only to then sabotage the entire process. In
- [Leo on Life: An unseemly garment indeed](https://akacatholic.com/leo-on-life-an-unseemly-garment-indeed/) - As readers are most certainly aware, a firestorm erupted in Catholic circles several weeks ago when news spread that Blazing Cardinal Cupich was planning to bestow a “Lifetime Achievement Award” on Senator Dick Dubin (D, Illinois). Durbin, who claims to be Catholic, is well known for his unwavering support of so-called abortion rights, which includes
- [Charlotte's TLM faithful being phased-in](https://akacatholic.com/charlottes-tlm-faithful-being-phased-in/) - Catholic social media is abuzz once again over the fate of the Traditional Latin Mass in the Diocese of Charlotte. In a letter dated September 26, 2025, Bishop Michael Martin formally announced that, beginning October 5, the TLM will only be offered in the Diocese of Charlotte at the Chapel of the Little Flower located
- [Vatican II Revisited: Sacrosanctum Concilium](https://akacatholic.com/vatican-ii-revisited-sacrosanctum-concilium/) - In this episode of Vatican II Revisited, Kevin Davis and I get into the weeds concerning the "principals and norms" that were set forth by the Second Vatican Council in its Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy. Tradservative commentators have long alleged that the new Mass that emerged after the Council would actually be sacred if
- [Free Speech American Style: Pope Leo speaks!](https://akacatholic.com/free-speech-american-style-pope-leo-speaks/) - In the aftermath of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, countless demonically influenced (if not fully possessed) individuals from all walks of life have been publicly expressing their joy over his demise, insisting that he had it coming to him thanks to his vocal opposition to such sacred tenets of leftist orthodoxy as abortion, transgenderism, and gun control.

The press conference, which was a presentation of the cardinal’s book on Amoris Laetitia, written at Francis'

Don't be fooled.](https://akacatholic.com/dubia-officially-answered-tomorrow-dont-be-fooled/) - According to a post at Rorate Caeli: We are told to watch for a press conference tomorrow focused on Amoris Laetitia.

Sandro Magister, the well-known Vaticanista, offers an overview of the article on his blog, L’Espresso [available in English], wherein he

I've made my thoughts on the matter rather clear in the past (e.g., HERE and HERE), but given the present state of affairs concerning Francis in light

From my perspective, the operative word is appears. Donnelly cited a report from Edward Pentin wherein it is alleged that Francis instructed Cardinal Burke to

Sandro Magister has just published excerpts of an interview that will appear today in the Italian magazine, Il Timone, wherein Müller offered statements so entirely at odds with reality that one wonders if he isn’t suffering dementia. For instance, asked to comment upon
- [Point / Counterpoint 3: Verrecchio](https://akacatholic.com/point-counterpoint-3-verrecchio/) - In his last installment, Robert did not address the point that I had raised concerning Canon 195 which begins: “If by a decree of the competent authority, and not by the law itself, someone is removed from an office…” Clearly, the law recognizes situations wherein one is “removed from an office by the law itself”
- [Francis and the Roman Missal Crisis](https://akacatholic.com/francis-and-the-roman-missal-crisis/) - It is being widely reported that Francis has ordered a review of the most recent translation of the Roman Missal for the Novus Ordo - the Third Edition, the official implementation of which took place in the United States on November 27, 2011. This translation was carried out according to guidelines set forth in a

Among those present at the march was a large contingent of Catholics; including, of course, Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life. Without question, the voice of Fr.

Wade and a woman’s right to choose,” Clinton declared to the

Surely, the persecution began quite some time ago (just ask Cardinal Raymond Burke whose marginalization began shortly after making disparaging comments about Evangelii Gaudium in late 2013), but what the Rorate report does suggest is that the persecution has perhaps entered a new

- [Cardinal Caffara lends credence to AL's basic error; fires warning shot at Francis](https://akacatholic.com/cardinal-caffara-fires-warning-shot/) - I must admit that the process of parsing and commenting upon the public statements that have been made by the authors of the dubia (most recently, Cardinal Caffara) is growing somewhat tiresome; likely as much for readers as anyone. Even so, I do believe that the exercise has merit inasmuch as it provides an opportunity

Tofari A reader writes: So many traditionalists seem to think that no NO Mass can be an actual sacrifice or deliver the true Eucharist. It's the TLM or nothing for them. While I much prefer the TLM, I'm thinking the first Masses must have been much simpler. Question: What were the first

As I wrote in the previous post, the documents of the Council – by turning on its head the constant teaching

No, not six months from now, but rather six months ago - in June of 2016. You see, on May 25, 2016, the Italian

Tofari A reader writes: In my parish they use a liturgical gong at the consecration (I don't know if that is the correct term. I've included a picture.)

With respect to Cardinal Burke’s recent statement concerning a possible timeline for issuing the “formal act of

Spadaro) are so obviously fond. This strikes me as similar to what, in sports, is called

Sure, it is, just as we should expect, along the same lines as the others; backhanded, indirect, and “full of subtlety,” (cf Pascendi – 1) but make no mistake, it was

As of this writing, he has offered no “official” response to this request, and yet one is hard pressed

The punchline to the 22,000 word text is as simple as it is predictable; “the magisterium needs means by which to consult the faithful who can be an important factor in the development of doctrine.”

In a June 2014 interview, Bishop Athanasius Schneider described it as the “deepest crisis” in Church history: This was a tremendous crisis, all the episcopacy, almost
