When the Angelic Pontiff Speaks: Will You Recognize His Voice?

The Catholic☩Trumpet [slightly adapted] | November 22, 2024

How do you think the Angelic Pontiff will sound when he comes to restore the Church in her darkest hour? Will his voice tremble with uncertainty or resound with clarity and power, condemning the errors that have ravaged the Bride of Christ—Vatican II, the Novus Ordo, and the compromises with modernism?

At The Catholic Trumpet, in the most loving spirit and with fidelity to Tradition, we have decided to try. What follows is a reflection on what we believe he may say, drawn from the eternal truths of the Faith and the uncompromising witness of Tradition.

Apostolic Declaration of Condemnation Against the Errors of Our Time

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

We, Pius XIII, Servant of the Servants of God, by the divine authority of Our Lord Jesus Christ entrusted to the Papal Office, do solemnly and infallibly declare the following:

With the sorrow of a father witnessing the destruction of his household, We condemn the Second Vatican Council, which, through its ambiguities and novel doctrines, represents a rupture with the Sacred Tradition of the Holy Roman Church. Under the guise of "renewal," this Council introduced grave errors, including:

Religious Liberty, which falsely teaches that all religions possess a right to public expression, contrary to the perennial teaching of the Church, which proclaims that only the Catholic Faith is the true religion.

Ecumenism, which denies the uniqueness of the Catholic Church as the sole Ark of Salvation, placing her on equal footing with heretical sects and false religions.

Collegiality, which undermines the divinely instituted primacy of the Roman Pontiff, fostering confusion and division within the Church.

These errors, compounded by deliberate ambiguities, have led to an unprecedented crisis of faith, resulting in indifferentism, apostasy, and a rejection of the Church’s divine mission to convert all nations.

Let no faithful Catholic regard this Council as a legitimate expression of the magisterium. It is a counterfeit council, poisoned by modernism and condemned by its fruits. To remain silent or complicit in its errors is to betray Christ Himself.


II. On the Novus Ordo Missae: The Fabricated Rite

We solemnly and infallibly condemn the Novus Ordo Missae, which constitutes a rupture from the Roman Rite codified by the saints and preserved through the ages. Fabricated by a committee influenced by Protestant observers, it was imposed upon the faithful without precedent in the Church’s history.

This so-called “Ordinary Form” undermines the theology of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, obscuring its sacrificial and propitiatory nature. It has fostered irreverence, sacrilege, and a catastrophic decline in belief in the Real Presence of Our Lord in the Most Blessed Sacrament.

Such a liturgical innovation, alien to the sacred patrimony of the Church, stands as a counterfeit offering unworthy of the One True God. It must be rejected entirely by all who seek to remain faithful to the Catholic Faith handed down from the apostles.

Let no one be deceived: the Novus Ordo Missae is not a development of the Roman Rite but a rupture from it. It undermines the Catholic Faith and must be rejected in its entirety. To those faithful still clinging to this rite out of ignorance or misplaced obedience, We exhort you to return to the Mass of your forefathers—the Holy Sacrifice codified by St. Pius V—which nourished the saints and safeguarded the Faith.


III. On the Heresies of the Conciliar Popes

We condemn, with the fullness of Our Apostolic authority, the errors and heresies propagated by the Conciliar Popes:

John XXIII, who opened the Church to the destructive winds of modernism by calling the Second Vatican Council and promoting a false optimism detached from the reality of sin and error.

Paul VI, who inflicted the Novus Ordo Missae upon the Church, abrogated her sacred rites, and allowed heresies to flourish unchecked.

John Paul II, who scandalized the faithful with his pan-religious gatherings at Assisi, his veneration of false religions, and his ambiguous teachings that undermined the exclusivity of salvation in Christ.

Benedict XVI, who perpetuated the errors of Vatican II by promoting its "hermeneutic of continuity," thus binding the faithful to a false reconciliation with error.

Francis, who has reached the zenith of apostasy by promoting religious relativism, idol worship, synodality, and moral ambiguity, thereby scandalizing the faithful and destroying the Church’s missionary mandate.

Though these men have occupied the throne of Peter, their errors and failures must not lead any faithful Catholic to question the divine institution of the papacy itself. We remind you that their authority, though abused, remains valid. It is not for individual Catholics to judge or declare the See of Peter vacant—a prerogative that belongs solely to the Church.


IV. On Sedevacantism: A Sympathetic Warning

To those who have fallen into the error of sedevacantism, We speak with both sympathy and clarity. We understand the sorrow and confusion that have led many to this position in these dark times. Yet, We must warn you: sedevacantism is a grievous error, denying the legitimacy of the papacy and undermining the visible unity of the Church.

The case of Pope Honorius I, who failed in his duty to defend the Faith, demonstrates that a pope can err in his personal actions without losing his office. Only the Church, through her divine authority, can judge a pope in matters of heresy, and this occurs only after his death.

Christ’s promise to Peter—that the gates of hell shall not prevail against His Church—remains true, even when the human occupants of the papal office fail in their duties. To deny this is to doubt the divine foundation of the Church.

We call upon all sedevacantists to return to the Church, acknowledging the authority of the papacy while continuing to resist the errors promoted by modernist popes.


V. On the Indult Mass: A Trojan Horse

We condemn the so-called "Indult Mass," which purports to preserve the Traditional Latin Mass while binding it to the errors of Vatican II and the Novus Ordo. This deceitful concession has ensnared many faithful into recognizing the legitimacy of a counterfeit Church and its false doctrines.

The Mass of All Time cannot coexist with the errors of the modernist revolution. To accept the "Indult Mass" is to compromise the Faith and betray the sacrifice of countless martyrs who died for the integrity of Catholic worship.


VI. On the Pre-1955 Missal and Holy Week

We solemnly decree the restoration of the Roman Missal and Holy Week as they were before the destructive reforms of 1955. These changes, introduced by modernist influences under the guise of "liturgical reform," paved the way for the liturgical revolution that culminated in the Novus Ordo Missae.

The pre-1955 liturgy reflects the unchanging theology of the Church and preserves the sacred symbolism of the Holy Sacrifice. We call upon all clergy to return to this venerable Missal and Holy Week, unaltered by modernist tampering.



VII. On the Condemnation of Masonic Influences

We condemn the [...]Masonic conspiracy, which has infiltrated the Church and the world, spreading the errors of liberalism, indifferentism, and secularism. This pernicious influence has sought to destroy Christendom by undermining the Catholic Church, the moral order, and the sovereignty of Christ the King.

These agents of subversion, operating through secret societies and revolutionary ideologies, were the architects of Vatican II and the Novus Ordo. Their goal is the dissolution of the Catholic Faith and the establishment of a godless, one-world religion.

Let every faithful Catholic reject the lies of this diabolical movement and remain steadfast in proclaiming the Social Kingship of Our Lord Jesus Christ.



VIII. An Apostolic Exhortation

We exhort all Catholics to reject the errors of Vatican II, the profane Novus Ordo Missae, the heresies of the Conciliar Popes, the traps of the "Indult Mass," the modernist reforms of 1955, and the lies of the Judeo-Masonic conspiracy.

Return to the faith of your fathers. Hold fast to the Sacred Tradition of the Church, the Mass codified by St. Pius V, the pre-1955 Holy Week, and the immutable teachings of the Popes before Vatican II. Let no modernist deception or compromise lead you astray.

May the Immaculate Heart of Mary, the Vanquisher of Heresies, intercede for the Church and guide the faithful remnant in this time of unparalleled crisis. Let all who remain faithful to Christ rise and proclaim with the Prophet: “Open your hearts to the Lord and serve Him only; and He will free you from the hands of your enemies.”

Given in Rome, at St. Peter’s Basilica, on this solemn day, in the year of Our Lord, __________.
