“Whether the Chinese Church can remain authentically Catholic in the face of Sinicization is an open question,” writes Francis X. Rocca in an essay appearing in The Atlantic. Rocca—who until recently covered the Vatican for the Wall Street Journal—takes a critical look at the secret Vatican agreement with China governing the appointment on new bishops. The results of that agreement have been disappointing to the Vatican. The goal was to ensure the appointment of enough bishops to serve the Chinese Church, but at least 40 dioceses remain leaderless. That situation does not trouble Beijing, Rocca observes, because the Communist Party finds it easier to control a leadership Church. In general, Rocca writes, the agreement: ... came at the expense of China’s second group of Catholics: the so-called underground Church, which previously ordained its own bishops with Rome’s approval and is now in effect being told by the Vatican to join the state-controlled Church.

Author: J. M. Editor: Mancipium Virginis Many traditional sedevacantist Catholics loudly condemn the SSPX (Society of St. Pius X, founded by Mgr Marcel Lefebvre) for “Pope sifting.” That is, the SSPX, while publicly proclaiming Francis I to be the Pope, “sifts” everything he teaches and then proceeds to declare it either orthodox or unorthodox. This of course makes the SSPX a doctrinal authority above the Pope, which is a heretical notion. While justifiably condemning such a heretical notion, many sedevacantists are guilty of the same practice when it comes to the liturgical reforms instituted by Pope Pius XII. They “sift” these laws and determine which ones they will accept and which ones they will reject. This is nothing more than a scaled-down version of the practice of the SSPX and condemnable as well. Pius XII’s Liturgical Reforms Between the years 1951 and 1958 Pope Pius XII enacted a number of liturgical reforms. The Commission he set up to advise him on these matters had two …More

Archbishop Julian Porteous of Hobart, Australia, has denounced a campaign to overturn Christian moral principles. As a result, the enemies of common sense have responded with intense hatred. In a May 2 pastoral letter ('We are salt to the earth'), Mgr Porteous made statements about human dignity and religious and parental freedom. For example, he said: "Believing in God as Creator, we see our identity as male and female as a gift. We therefore see efforts to separate gender from biological sex as a denial of the reality of who we are". And: "God created male and female as sexually complementary. This means that, sexually, we were literally made for the opposite sex". Mgr. Porteous criticises the radicalised transvestite lobby, child abortion, euthanasia suicide, homosexual pseudo-marriage and the "woke" propaganda that fights against common sense ("traditional values and beliefs"). Homosexual propaganda groups claimed that Mgr Porteous had "stigmatised" them, as if Porteous was responsible …More

The good Archbishop Julian is just about the only Archbishop in Australia who is willing to defend the truth. We must keep this faithful bishop in our prayers because Australia is governed by Neros and they are worshiped by a minority of woke communists in Australia who would be more than willing to drum up false sexual abuse cases against him, just they did with cardinal Pell. May his good friend Cardinal Pell intercede for Archbishop Julian.

Archbishop Lefebvre did very well when he refused the agreement. "For what participation hath justice with injustice? Or what fellowship hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? Or what part hath the faithful with the unbeliever?" (2 Cor. 6, 14-15).

The wonderful Novus Ordo Jesuits are up to it again. They will ensure that the changes made by Pope Francis remain cemented and not reversed by the next Pope. In five years the Ai technology will advance exponentially to allow the insertion of the DNA Genetics into an AI Robot. Hence, there will be no need for another Conclave – ever. The Robot will be created before he croaks so that his reign will be paralleled then separated. Never non-continuous. In addition, those buggers will make ten duplicate Holy Robots just incase there is a mutiny and someone pulls the plug. Just think, there could never be a Historical Papal Schism again. Why,…... the French will have a Holy Orb, the Germans will have a Holy Orb that speaks perfect German! Not to mention the Japanese and Koreans too! Every nation will have a Holy Orb speaking their own native language, ensuring that the directives of PAGAN Pope Francis continue.
