It is normal and humanly understandable that more than a decade of open persecution of Catholics by the one who presented himself as their Pope would lead many of us to desire a truce, hoping that Our Lord would give His Church - if not a new Pius X - at least another Benedict XVI.
But this legitimate desire - certainly animated by good feelings and love for the Church - cannot transform itself into a virtual reality in which, even against all evidence, everything must necessarily be read as a confirmation of what we would like, and not of what is really happening. We cannot build for ourselves a "virtual church" with a "virtual papacy" that we love and serve in a consoling but unreal fiction.
The confirmation of a notorious heretic to the Cathedra of Saint Gallen in Switzerland; the appointment of a nun as Secretary of the Dicastery for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life, in line with the appointment of a Prefectess by Bergoglio; the repeated references to the heretical documents of his predecessor and to Vatican II; the declarations on ecumenism and synodality, and finally the acceptance of climate fraud; all place Robert Francis Prevost in evident and disturbing continuity with his predecessor, and it will certainly not be the stole and mozzetta that will change reality.
May looking at reality with supernatural eyes help us to recognize the deceptions of the Evil One and push us, today more than ever, to place all our hope in Christ the King and Pontiff, so that He may help and protect His Church. May He who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life be our guide in a rebellious world doomed to perdition, lies, and death.

Jesuits in Spain issue prayer to pagan god pachamama for ‘Mother Earth Day’
On March 31, Jesuits in a region of Spain issued a brochure in celebration of 'Mother Earth Day'
which featured a prayer to the pagan 'god' pachamama.

(LifeSiteNews) — In celebration of “Mother Earth Day,” a group of Jesuits in Spain issued a prayer to the pagan idol pachamama in direct violation of the First Commandment.
On March 31, the Jesuits of Cantabria, La Rioja, The Basque Country and Navarre, in Spain, issued a brochure in celebration of “Mother Earth Day” which featured a prayer to the pagan “god” pachamama. The Catholic Church infallibly teaches, as affirmed by Sacred Scripture, that prayer to any “god” except the one true God is, in fact, prayer to demonic forces, and thus constitutes a grave violation of the First Commandment.
Specifically, the brochure included the subheading “PRAYER TO MOTHER EARTH,” and featured the following text, which has been translated from Spanish to English:
Quote:Mother Earth, teach us to love each other as brothers and to care for you with love. Guide us to give light, to be radiant like the Sun. Pachamama, Pachamama, we come to thank you for all the riches you give us. Receive this offering so that the earth may be good. Thank you Pachamama and good mother.
The constant teaching of the Catholic Church, as affirmed by St. Thomas Aquinas in the Summa Theologiae, is that idolatry is carried out under the “influence of the demons” who offer themselves to the “worship of erring men, giving answers from idols or doing things which to men seemed marvelous.” In support of this teaching, Aquinas points to Sacred Scripture, “whence the Psalmist says (Psalm 95:5): ‘All the gods of the gentiles are devils.'”
This so-called prayer to pachamama follows years after Francis, also a Jesuit, allowed a pachamama idol to be used in ceremony in the Vatican Gardens, an act which caused great scandal among the faithful.

Pope Leo XIV Meets and Praises False Religions

The Catholic Trumpet [slightly reformatted and adapted] | May 21, 2025
On May 19th, 2025, Pope Leo XIV stood before leaders of Judaism, Islam, Protestantism, and Eastern Orthodoxy—not to call them to conversion, but to affirm them in their errors.
See Our Video Below:
He spoke of “shared prayer,” of “unity without division,” of “building bridges” and “walking together.” He invoked the ecumenical dreams of Francis and John XXIII. He praised Nostra Aetate, defended Fratelli Tutti, and called for new synodal structures to deepen interreligious fraternity.
But the Catholic Church has already spoken.
She has defined—once for all time—that there is no salvation outside her walls. That Christ is not one among many, but the only name under Heaven by which men are saved. That unity without truth is betrayal. That to affirm false religion is to deny the Gospel.
What took place in the Clementine Hall was not a witness to the Faith.
It was a contradiction of it.
We do not mock. We mourn.
And we beg all Catholics to see what is unfolding.
To pray for the Pope’s conversion.
To offer reparation to the Sacred Heart.
And to hold fast to the one true Faith—whole and entire—without compromise.

Not much to say here. Just watch the video.
Pray for the Neo-SSPX.
Pray for Kennedy Hall.
And pray that all negotiations with Modernist Rome cease—until Rome converts to the Catholic Faith of Tradition.
That’s the only unity Heaven will recognize.

‘No exceptions’: UK moves to crush sacred seal of confession in abuse cases
Cardinal Vincent Nichols, Archbishop of Westminster, told the IICSA that the seal is 'an essential part of the exercise of priesthood.'

(LifeSiteNews) — Under proposed new legislation, Catholic priests in England and Wales would be required to report child sexual abuse heard in confession under a new government policy—despite Church law imposing automatic excommunication for breaking the sacramental seal.
Jess Phillips, Labour’s safeguarding minister, confirmed the Crime and Policing Bill will include no religious exemptions.
In a May 13 letter to the National Secular Society (NSS), the Home Office said it was not considering “any kind of exception” and that “there are no exceptions on the basis of where disclosures are received, including confessionals.”
“The duty will apply to all individuals undertaking relevant activity with children, including within religious and faith-based settings,” Phillips wrote.
The NSS had urged the government to adopt the recommendations made by the 2022 Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) for mandatory reporting without exceptions for confidential or religious settings. “Safeguarding children must take precedence over religious interests,” said NSS spokesperson Alejandro Sanchez.
Catholic teaching holds the seal of confession to be absolute. Canon 983 of the 1983 Code of Canon Law states: “The sacramental seal is inviolable.” Canon 1388 imposes automatic excommunication on any priest who directly violates it.
Cardinal Vincent Nichols, Archbishop of Westminster, told the IICSA that the seal is “an essential part of the exercise of priesthood.”

David Paton, a Catholic academic who submitted evidence to Parliament, said the policy could backfire. “There is no evidence that mandatory reporting by priests would reduce abuse,” he told The Pillar. “Priests will still be forbidden by canon law from breaking the seal, so there could be no practical benefit.”
He warned the policy would expose clergy to malicious accusations without any possibility of defence.
The Crime and Policing Bill, now at Report Stage in the House of Commons, does not include criminal penalties for failure to report. Instead, it allows for professional sanctions or disqualification from working with children—effectively ending the ministry of accused priests.
This move comes at the same time of similar attempts elsewhere, including the USA’s Washington state and Hong Kong.
The Church has long held that no earthly authority may compel a priest to violate the confessional seal.
The Roman Catechism teaches that priests must observe “a perpetual and religious silence concerning all the sins confessed to them” and that penitents should never fear that their sins will be revealed.
Catholic teaching insists the integrity of the sacrament depends entirely on its absolute and inviolable confidentiality. Meanwhile, Catholics in England and Wales were subject to at least some form of legal harassment and exclusion from public life from 1534 until the Roman Catholic Relief Act of 1829.

Kentucky archbishop issues new guidelines discouraging faithful from kneeling for Holy Communion
The archbishop of Louisville released a document stating that clergy must instruct parishioners that standing is ‘normative’ for receiving the Eucharist, based on the USCCB’s designation.

May 20, 2025
LOUISVILLE, Kentucky (LifeSiteNews) — Archbishop Shelton Fabre of the Archdiocese of Louisville, Kentucky, issued a document on the norms for receiving the Eucharist last week that notably discouraged communicants from kneeling as they receive the Blessed Sacrament.
The May 14 document entitled Norms for Posture and the Communion Rite emphasized that while the faithful cannot be denied Holy Communion if they choose to kneel, diocesan clergy will be required to instruct parishioners no later than June 22 that standing is the “normative” posture for receiving the sacrament in the United States. These guidelines are similar to other statements bishops have made that discourage kneeling while receiving the Eucharist.
“Standing is the norm for the reception for Holy Communion,” Archbishop Fabre wrote, citing the designation of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) in 2002.
“While communicants may not be denied Holy Communion because they kneel, catechesis of the faithful (such as sacramental preparation) should instruct that standing is the normative posture for reception of Holy Communion,” he added. “Deacons, servers, and other liturgical ministers are to observe the normative posture of standing to receive Holy Communion to appropriately model this norm for the faithful.”
The tradition of the Catholic Church, unbroken until after the Second Vatican Council, is that the lay faithful receive the Blessed Sacrament, administered by a priest, his hands having been consecrated for the handling of the sacred Eucharist, on the tongue while kneeling.
The Code of Canon Law, which binds all bishops and priests in the Roman Rite, legislates the following:- Sacred ministers cannot deny the sacraments to those who seek them at appropriate times, are properly disposed, and are not prohibited by law from receiving them. (Can. 843 §1.)
- Any baptized person not prohibited by law can and must be admitted to Holy Communion. (Can. 912)
Additionally, Cardinal Francis Arinze, the prefect of the Vatican’s Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments (CDWDS) under Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI, has underscored the importance of receiving the Blessed Sacrament while kneeling to show proper reverence while receiving the Lord.
San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone, too, citing Cardinal Arinze’s past comments, recently promoted kneeling for Holy Communion in a series of X posts.
It’s worth noting that Archbishop Fabre’s document also featured more traditional guidelines for communicants to follow as they approach to receive the sacrament, including kneeling from the Agnus Dei until they join the Communion procession. One of the guidelines also noted that the faithful can’t be denied the sacrament if they choose to receive the Host on the tongue.
READ: Italian priest scolds ‘disobedient,’ ‘prideful’ parishioners for receiving Communion on tongue
Archbishop Fabre’s guidelines about standing to receive the Eucharist echo those of other notable Catholic prelates such as Cardinal Blase Cupich, the heterodox archbishop of Chicago. Last year, Cupich all but forbade the faithful from kneeling to receive the Blessed Sacrament, claiming that doing so “disrupts the flow” of the Communion procession.

“(N)o one should engage in a gesture that calls attention to oneself or disrupts the flow of the procession (to and from Holy Communion),” he wrote, though he has allowed heterodoxy and liturgical abuses in Chicago parishes.

This morning, Pope Leo XIV received schismatic Christians, pagans, and Jews in audience in the Apostolic Palace. They had gathered in Rome for his inauguration.
In his address, he thanked them politely for their presence and prayers, which he said were "of great comfort and encouragement to me."
Pope Leo XIV believes that "one of the strong points of Pope Francis's pontificate has been universal brotherhood."
He claimed that synodality and ecumenism are closely related. "I intend to continue Pope Francis's commitment to promoting the synodal character of the Catholic Church and developing new, concrete forms of ever-more-intense synodality in the ecumenical field."
He continued: "Our common journey can and should also be understood in a broad sense, involving everyone, in the spirit of human brotherhood."
Leo XIV quoted Francis’s 2019 Abu Dhabi document, praising his predecessor for promoting a 'culture of dialogue'.
