“The collusion of Leo and his bishops with the globalist elite is deliberate, intended, and a source of profit for Catholic institutions and organizations. This also occurs in civil governments, whose leaders are all emissaries of the Davos Forum, the Fabian Society, Soros’s Open Society, or other supranational entities conspiring against the people. And it is scandalous—to say the least—that progressive American bishops are fueling this artfully created controversy, exploiting it for political gain against President Trump, when they cowardly remained silent during the Biden presidency in the face of far more serious moral issues.

“Let us not forget that the USCCB allowed itself to be corrupted by the billions of dollars USAID gave it to promote ethnic substitution in the United States. This has also happened to other Episcopal Conferences and the Vatican, just as in the era of Covid. Even then, the Hierarchy openly supported the mainstream narrative, even to the point of endorsing, in a Note from the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, a gene serum produced from aborted fetuses, which continues to claim millions of victims.

“This subservience of the Catholic Church to the criminal plan of the Great Reset and Agenda 2030 will be judged by God and by history, and will remain as an indelible stain on the already severely compromised reputation of this renegade and apostate Hierarchy.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States is sending about 200 troops to Israel to help support and monitor the ceasefire deal in Gaza as part of a team that includes partner nations, nongovernmental organizations and private-sector players, U.S. officials said Thursday.

The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss details that were not authorized for release, said U.S. Central Command is going to establish a “civil-military coordination center” in Israel that will help facilitate the flow of humanitarian aid as well as logistical and security assistance into the territory wracked by two years of war.

The remarks provide some of the first details on how the ceasefire deal would be monitored and that the U.S. military would have a role in that effort. After Israel and Hamas agreed to the first phase of a Trump administration plan to halt the fighting, a litany of questions remain on next steps, including Hamas disarmament, a withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza and a future government in the territory.

One of the officials said the new team will help monitor implementation of the ceasefire agreement and the transition to a civilian government in Gaza.

This is the WNBC finals, after a season of unheard-of hype, endless promotion by ESPN and a smothering blanket of public relations. A season that feels like it has taken two years, the coverage has been so over the top. In the fifth largest city in the country, the Phoenix Mercury cannot sell out their arena for a game in the finals. Not only not sold out, but you could have gotten in last night for $9, yet no one wanted to get in for $9. Bye.

A reminder that God loves His warriors and helps those who help themselves:

Be the bastard that sets sail.

Thats what the battle of Lepanto means for you, Western man.

There is much “The Church saved the West at the Battle of Lepanto” posting. This simply plays into the Catholic failing of waiting for our hierarchy and our institutions to win the battle. Nothing could be further from the truth. Lepanto is the story of how the least likely man risked everything for the sake of the Cross.

This is the lesson we need the men of Christendom to learn.

In 1571 as the Muslim fleet threatened Europe, Christendom was deeply divided. Protestants fought Catholics. France fought the Holy Roman Empire. Christian princes even allied WITH the Muslims against their Christian brothers.  They were all too self seeking to see the threat and and answer the call.

But one man—a bastard with no lands and barely even a title—takes weapons from the wall and rides to the sea.  Don John of Austria.

Who was Don John? He had no throne. He was the bastard son of Charles V and a burgher’s daughter from Regensburg. Raised in obscurity, not even told who his father was. When his half-brother Philip II finally acknowledged him, it wasn’t with lands or title, just a name and a small allowance. Among the princes of Christendom he was the last man you’d pick: No inheritance, no wealth, no claim to rule.

Yet when the Ottoman fleet gathered in the waters just beyond Italy, this forgotten son was the one who answered. Because no one else would.

Yes, the Pope called for the defense of Christendom, and that is more than we have today.  But no one sent Don John personally. No one gave him the wealth to outfit an army. The most likely outcome was that they’d all die.  Don John went because someone had to.

That’s the pattern of every important battle in Christian history. One man, alone, often betrayed by his Christian brothers, under resourced, with only a small band of bedragged warriors, standing in victory against the pagan hordes.

No Crusader victory was ever a triumph of Christian unity. Most of Christendom sat Lepanto out. France stayed home. Protestant Europe stayed home. Even most of Italy stayed home. The Holy League was a minority of the willing. A handful of ships and a handful of men who made the decision to go. And that’s the truth.

History turns on the ones who go. Not on the ones who wait for orders. Not on the ones who whine about the hierarchy. The ones who go. Western man today stands on another shore. The pagan fleets are at pur shores again.  Our clergy are cautious, our politicians are compromised, our institutions asleep.

So what now?

The Churchians aren’t going to save the civilization they despise. The foreigners, immigrants, migrants, and refugees aren’t going to save the nations they hate. The governments aren’t going to defend the peoples they have betrayed. The priests and pastors aren’t going to defend the faith they subverted.

And yet, all we need are twelve.

Since this question has been asked by several readers, here is the quick answer: The “FtR” moniker was coined by Miss Barnhardt, in response to Prevost inviting the sodomites to parade through Rome, after the blasphemous sodo Mass at the Gesu, all the way to St. Peter’s, to carry the rainbow cross through the Holy Doors. Once inside, clad in shorts and t-shirts, the sodomites were photographed quite intentionally holding hands, while displaying backpacks emblazoned with “F*CK THE RULES”…

Said slogan is nothing less than the Credo of the church of Satan: “Do what thou wilt, shall be the whole of the law.”

There are no rules, except my own rules. Which means mercy without repentance, forgiveness without conversion, acceptance without any purpose of amendment. You be you. God made you do it.

FtR Prevost didn’t just allow this, he endorsed it. Starting with his disgusting audience with Jamesth Martin esthjay days prior, where the inglorious details of this event were no doubt discussed. Trad Inc will claim “there is no way he could have known.” Or, “there was nothing he could do.” Or, “nutt uh, zip it, there’s a TLM in that place in two weeks.”

If you have ever been to Rome, you know full well that no one steps foot in St. Peter’s without proper attire…you are stopped at the door if you don’t follow “the rules.” Even more so, when entering the Holy Door in a Jubilee Year, which is (supposed to be) a highly symbolic act of unity with the Bride of Christ. For sodomites to enter in shorts, with profane slogans, there would had to have been a direct order for the guards at the doors to stand down, and an alert issued to the “press” that a fantastic photo op was not to be missed. Nothing less than the celebration of the (seeming) triumph of sin over virtue, in living color. VISIBILITY. VISIBILITY. VISIBILITY.

“At the coming of the month of October, dedicated and consecrated as it is to the Blessed Virgin of the Rosary, we urge all the faithful to redouble their piety towards the most holy Mother of God, the mighty helper of Christians, and to pray to her throughout the month, invoking her by the most holy Rosary. We ask this out of love for the Church, whose sufferings, far from mitigating, increase daily in number and in gravity. Universal and well-known are the evils with which we contend: attacks upon the sacred dogmas which the Church holds and transmits; derision cast upon the integrity of the Christian morality which she teaches; even enmity declared against the very person of Jesus Christ.

“No new events are these in the life of the Church. Jesus foretold them to His disciples. That the Church may teach men and women the truth and may guide them to eternal salvation, she must enter upon a daily combat; and throughout the course of ages the Church has fought, even to martyrdom, rejoicing and glorying in nothing more than in signing her cause with her Founder’s blood, the sure and certain pledge of the victory whereof she holds the promise. 

“Nevertheless we must not conceal our profound sadness that so many should be deterred and led astray by error and enmity to God; that so many should be indifferent to all forms of religion, and should finally become estranged from the Faith; that so many Catholics should be such in name only, and should pay to God no honor or worship. Thus it is absolutely necessary that the Catholic voice should call to God with unwearied instance, “without ceasing;” that the Faithful should pray not only in their own homes, but in public, gathered together under the sacred roof; that they should beseech urgently the all-foreseeing God to deliver the Church from evil men and to bring back those who have gone astray to good sense and reason, by the light and love of Christ.

“We may well believe that the Queen of Heaven herself has granted a special efficacy to the Holy Rosary, for it was by her command and counsel that this devotion was begun and spread abroad by the holy Patriarch, St. Dominic, as a most potent weapon against the enemies of the faith at an epoch not, indeed, unlike our own, of great danger to our holy religion. … There seemed to be no human hope when timely help came from on high through the instrument of Mary’s Rosary. Thus under the favor of the powerful Virgin, the glorious vanquisher of all heresies, the forces of the wicked were destroyed and dispersed, and faith issued forth unharmed and more shining than before…

“Especially during this month, let the faithful assemble around the solemn altars of our eminent Queen and most benign Mother, and weave and offer to her, like devoted children, the mystic garland – so pleasing to her – of the Rosary. Let us all unite our praises and prayers with one voice and heart at every moment of the day, saluting Mary, invoking Mary, hoping everything through Mary.”

Pope Leo XIII, OCTOBRI MENSE, 22 September 1891

Today is the Feast of Our Lady of Victory, of the Most Holy Rosary, the anniversary of her glorious triumph at Lepanto in 1571.

“The feast of the Holy Rosary was instituted to honor Mary for the Christian victory over the Turks at Lepanto on October 7, 1571. Pope St. Pius V and all Christians had prayed the Rosary for victory. The Rosary is a powerful means of uniting families, communities, and nations in the Mystical Body of Christ. In reciting the Rosary we say, “pray for us sinners,” not “pray for me.” The prayers of the Rosary take us out of ourselves by adoring and thanking God, and particularly by meditating on the doctrinal truths of the 15 Mysteries. Moreover, as Pope Leo XIII wrote, “. . . the Rosary is by far the best prayer by which to plead before her (Mary) the cause of our separated brethren.””

Pray the Rosary every day. Commit yourself to doing it for one week. You will see the fruits that quickly, and you will be hooked for life. The Rosary is a weapon, and Our Lady is a military helpmate.

This is war.

Virgin Most Powerful, pray for us!

Our Lady of Victory, of the Rosary, pray for us!

INTROIT
Let us all rejoice in the Lord as we celebrate the feast in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary, upon which the angels rejoice and praise the Son of God.
Ps. 44:2. My heart overflows with good tidings; I sing my song to the king.

COLLECT
O God, Your only-begotten Son has purchased for us the rewards of eternal salvation by His life, death, and resurrection. May we who meditate on those mysteries in the most holy rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary imitate the virtues they proclaim and obtain the promises they offer. Through the same Jesus Christ, our Lord, amen.

“Apart from the signal defeat of the Albigensian heretics at the battle of Muret in 1213 which legend has attributed to the recitation of the Rosary by St. Dominic, it is believed that Heaven has on many occasions rewarded the faith of those who had recourse to this devotion in times of special danger. More particularly, the naval victory of Lepanto gained by Don John of Austria over the Turkish fleet on the first Sunday of October in 1571 responded wonderfully to the processions made at Rome on that same day by the members of the Rosary confraternity. St. Pius V thereupon ordered that a commemoration of the Rosary should be made upon that day, and at the request of the Dominican Order Gregory XIII in 1573 allowed this feast to be kept in all churches which possessed an altar dedicated to the Holy Rosary. In 1671 the observance of this festival was extended by Clement X to the whole of Spain, and somewhat later Clement XI after the important victory over the Turks gained by Prince Eugene on 6 August, 1716 (the feast of our Lady of the Snows), at Peterwardein in Hungary, commanded the feast of the Rosary to be celebrated by the universal Church. A set of “proper” lessons in the second nocturn were conceded by Benedict XIII. Leo XIII has since raised the feast to the rank of a double of the second class and has added to the Litany of Loreto the invocation “Queen of the Most Holy Rosary”. On this feast, in every church in which the Rosary confraternity has been duly erected, a plenary indulgence toties quoties is granted upon certain conditions to all who visit therein the Rosary chapel or statue of Our Lady. This has been called the “Portiuncula” of the Rosary.“

Repost by David Martin

The saints and doctors of the Church teach that if a pope having sufficient knowledge and having made sufficient reflection denies an article of Faith and professes heresy, he falls to heresy and loses his papacy.

When it is taught that ‘a pope cannot profess heresy’ it simply means that this profession cannot be made and completed while he is pope, for upon attempting to profess heresy he loses his papacy and is reduced to a heretic, whereby the profession is made as a heretic and not as a pope.

Hence a pope as a private person can profess heresy but could never make this profession while occupying the papal office. Consider the words of St. Alphonsus Liguori (1696-1797), Doctor of the Church:

“If ever a pope, as a private person, should fall into heresy, he should at once fall from the Pontificate. If, however, God were to permit a pope to become a notorious and contumacious heretic, he would by such fact cease to be pope, and the apostolic chair would be vacant.”

St. Robert Bellarmine, Doctor of the Church, makes this very point.

“A Pope who is a manifest heretic automatically ceases to be a Pope and head, just as he ceases automatically to be a Christian and member of the Church. Wherefore, he can be judged and punished by the Church. This is the teaching of all the ancient Fathers who teach that manifest heretics immediately lose all jurisdiction.”

St. Francis de Sales echoes this point as well:

“Now when the Pope is explicitly a heretic, he falls ipso facto from his dignity and out of the Church…”

The 1913 Catholic Encyclopedia states:

“The Pope himself, if notoriously guilty of heresy, would cease to be pope because he would cease to be a member of the Church.”

St. Antoninus says that such a pope who is cut off from the Mystical Body cannot be the head of that Body.

“In the case in which the Pope would become a heretic, he would find himself, by that very fact alone and without any other sentence, separated from the Church. A head separated from a body cannot, as long as it remains separated, be head of the same body from which it was cut off.”

The lus Canonicum on the 1917 Code of Canon Law by Wernz-Vidal makes this same point:

“A pope who falls into public heresy would cease ipso facto to be a member of the Church; therefore, he would also cease to be head of the Church.” It adds, “A doubtful pope is not pope.”

The Mass of the Saints deserves better than this!

Today is the first Sunday when Traditional Catholics in the geographically large Diocese of Charlotte find themselves evicted from the four Diocesan Churches where the Traditional Latin Mass was allowed up until now. If you’re not familiar with the area, look at a map of the state. Find Charlotte in the center of the state, near the border with South Carolina. Then find Greensboro to the northeast, approaching the Virginia border. Then go westward all the way over to the borders of Tennessee and Georgia. Once upon a time there were about nine or ten parish churches that held The Mass on Sunday. These locations were spread out so that people living in the mountains, foothills or the piedmont all had an option within an hour or two at the most. Now, they have what you see above. A 364-seat, former protestant place of worship, in the town of Mooresville, which is about 45 minutes due north of Charlotte. This for what were estimated to be 1,200 faithful across the entire Diocese.

Enter in the back door!

It’s very fitting that the entrance to this, the “Chapel of the Little Flower” is in the back of the building. Get to the back of the bus. Colored entrance in the back. Yep, those disgraceful directives from the Jim Crow days are back, this time directed against Traditional Catholics from their “synodal church” masters in occupied Rome and in this case, their shepherd in the chancery.

If it doesn’t look like a Catholic Church…

You can complete that sentence yourself but here are my observations after visiting this new ghetto – oops, I meant to say chapel – for the segregated Traditional Catholics in the Diocese of Charlotte. In his September 26th letter to the affected parishes that formerly said the Traditional Latin Mass, Bishop Michael Martin OFM Conv. said “This chapel is not a parish, nor is it a parish-like community being formed for those who desire to celebrate the TLM.” He wasn’t kidding because the chapel DOES NOT include the following:

• Stations of the Cross. Seriously? They couldn’t go to FedEx/Kinkos and at least print out some Stations to mount on foam board and tack on the sparse walls?
• Confessionals. Traditional Latin Mass Catholics by and large take the Sacrament of Reconciliation seriously – especially before assisting at Mass and receiving Communion. At minimum, an accordion-fold screen confessional in the back would suffice. But, back to his letter, Martin made it clear that this is not a place to get attached to. Nope, you must partake in the Sacraments at your (novus ordo) parish church.
• Devotionals. Even the poorest of Catholic Churches have either a side altar or a devotional statue somewhere of the Blessed Mother, the Sacred Heart, or another. Not here. Lay Catholics in possession of statues would happily donate one or more if requested.

To all the priests in the Charlotte Diocese who know how to say the Traditional Latin Mass…

…Say it. Publically. In your parish church.

Bishop Martin’s authority only goes so far. He does not have the right to allow or deny the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. None. If you’re not comfortable with re-establishing the public TLM you had, have private, unannounced TLMs – in your parish church – when there just happen to be people in the church, enjoying personal prayer or adoration.

Souls are at risk and if you think that Trads in the Charlotte Diocese are strong enough to wait this out, I invite you to ponder on what happened world-wide in 1969 when the novus ordo was thrust upon Catholicism. How many people have you run across – especially now – who say “I was raised Catholic but am now non-practicing”?

Trust in the Divine Providence! I can’t say that enough. God WILL PROVIDE and even if ignoring this increasingly obvious antichurch leads to your martyrdom, what’s more important? Dying a martyr for the Faith or having to (unsuccessfully) explain away effeminacy at your personal judgement because you were worried about earthly, monetary possessions or your good standing?

Why priests should continue to say the Traditional Latin Mass without apology:

Session 3 of the Council of Trent, Canon 13: If anyone says that the received and approved rites of the Catholic Church, accustomed to be used in the sacraments, may be despised or omitted by the ministers without sin and at their pleasure, or may be changed by any pastor of the churches to other new ones, let him be anathema.
