Declaration of Catholic Faith to the Holy Father

Edit: this is from the Society’s main page. Just thought it was important to have it available here.


Declaration of Catholic Faith


May 14th, 2026

**addressed to His Holiness Pope Leo XIV by Fr. Davide Pagliarani, Superior General of the Priestly Society of Saint Pius X**

Most Holy Father,

For more than fifty years, the Society of Saint Pius X has endeavoured to set before the Holy See a matter of conscience in the face of the errors that are destroying Catholic faith and morals. Regrettably, all the discussions entered into have remained without result, and none of the concerns expressed have received any truly satisfactory response.

For more than fifty years, the only solution truly considered by the Holy See has appeared to be that of canonical sanctions. To our great regret, it seems to us that canon law is thus being used, not to confirm in the Faith, but to lead away from it.

In the text that follows, the Society of Saint Pius X is glad to express to You, filially and sincerely, its devotion to the Catholic Faith, concealing nothing, either from Your Holiness or from the Universal Church.

The Society places this simple Declaration of Faith in Your hands. It seems to us to correspond to the minimum indispensable to be in communion with the Church, and to truly call ourselves Catholics and, consequently, your sons.

We have no other desire than that of living and being confirmed in the Roman Catholic Faith.

“Thus, remaining firmly rooted and established in the true Catholic Faith, strive always to be worthy ministers of the divine Sacrifice and of the Church of God, which is the Body of Christ. For, as the Apostle says: ‘all that is not of faith is sin’, ^1 schismatic and outside the unity of the Church.” ^2

### DECLARATION OF CATHOLIC FAITH

In the Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ, divine Wisdom, the Word Incarnate, Who willed one sole religion, Who rendered the Old Covenant definitively null and void, Who founded one sole Church, Who triumphed over Satan, Who conquered the world, Who remains with us until the end of time and Who shall come again to judge the living and the dead.

He, the perfect Image of the Father, the Son of God made man, was appointed the sole Redeemer and Saviour of the world through the Incarnation and the voluntary offering of the Sacrifice of the Cross. Our Lord satisfied divine justice by shedding His Most Precious Blood, and it is in that Blood that He established the New and Eternal Covenant, abolishing the Old. He is therefore the sole Mediator between God and men and the sole way to come to the Father. Only he who knows Him knows the Father.

By divine decree, the Most Holy Virgin Mary has been directly and intimately associated with the entire work of Redemption; to deny this association — in the terms received from Tradition — is therefore to alter the very notion of Redemption as willed by divine Providence.

There is only one Faith and one Church by which we may be saved. Outside the Roman Catholic Church, and without the profession of Faith that she has always taught, there is neither salvation nor remission of sins.

Consequently, every man must be a member of the Catholic Church in order to save his soul, and there is but one baptism as the means of being incorporated into her. This necessity concerns the whole of humanity without exception and embraces without distinction Christians, Jews, Muslims, pagans, and atheists.

The mandate received by the Apostles, to preach the Gospel to every man and to convert every man to the Catholic Faith, remains binding until the end of time and responds to the most absolute and most pressing necessity in the world. “He that believeth and is baptized, shall be saved: but he that believeth not shall be condemned.” ^3 Therefore, to renounce the fulfilment of this mandate constitutes the gravest of crimes against humanity.

The Roman Church alone possesses simultaneously the four marks that characterize the Church founded by Jesus Christ: Unity, Holiness, Catholicity, and Apostolicity.

Her unity flows essentially from the adherence of all her members to the one true Faith, faithfully preserved, taught, and handed down by the Catholic hierarchy throughout the centuries.

The denial of even a single truth of the Faith destroys faith itself and renders radically impossible all communion with the Catholic Church.

The only possible path to restoring unity among Christians of different confessions consists in the urgent and charitable appeal addressed to non-Catholics to profess the one true Faith within the one true Church.

The Catholic Church can in no way be regarded or treated on an equal footing with a false form of worship or a false church.

The Roman Pontiff, the Vicar of Christ, is the sole possessor of supreme authority over the whole Church. He alone directly confers on the other members of the Catholic hierarchy jurisdiction over souls.

“The Holy Ghost was not promised to the successors of Peter that they might make known, by His revelation, a new doctrine, but that, by His assistance, they might inviolably keep and faithfully expound the revelation transmitted by the Apostles, that is, the Deposit of the Faith.” ^4

To a unique Faith there corresponds a unique form of worship, the supreme, authentic, and perfect expression of that same Faith.

The Holy Mass is the perpetuation in time of the Sacrifice of the Cross, offered for many and renewed upon the altar. Although offered in an unbloody manner, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is essentially expiatory and propitiatory. No other form of worship offers perfect adoration. No other form of worship that is not ordered to it is pleasing to God. No other means is sufficient for the sanctification of souls.

Consequently, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass can in no way be reduced to a mere commemoration, to a spiritual meal, to a sacred assembly celebrated by the people, to the celebration of the Paschal mystery without sacrifice, without satisfaction of divine justice, without expiation of sins, without propitiation, and without the Cross.

The help afforded to souls by the Sacraments of the Catholic Church is sufficient in every circumstance and in every age to enable the faithful to live in a state of grace.

The moral law contained in the Decalogue and perfected in the Sermon on the Mount is the only one practicable for obtaining the salvation of souls. Every other moral code — founded, for example, on respect for creation or on the rights of the human person — is radically insufficient to sanctify and save souls. In no way can it replace the one true moral law.

Following the example of St. John the Baptist, true charity obliges us to warn sinners and never to renounce the means necessary to save their souls.

He who eats the Body of Our Lord and drinks His Blood whilst in a state of sin eats and drinks his own condemnation, and no authority can alter this law contained in the teaching of St. Paul and in Tradition.

Sins of impurity that are against nature are of such gravity that they always and in every circumstance cry to God for vengeance, and are radically incompatible with every form of authentic Christian love. Such a ‘lifestyle’ can therefore in no way be recognized as a gift from God. A couple practising this vice must be helped to free themselves from it, and can in no way be blessed — formally or informally — by ministers of the Church.

The submission of institutions and nations, as such, to the authority of Our Lord Jesus Christ flows directly from the Incarnation and the Redemption. Therefore, secularism of institutions and nations constitutes an implicit denial of the divinity and universal kingship of Our Lord.

Christendom is not a mere historical phenomenon, but the only order willed by God among men.

It is not for the Church to conform herself to the world, but for the world to be transformed by the Church.

It is in this Faith and in these principles that we ask to be instructed and confirmed by Him Who has received the charism to do so. With the help of Our Lord, we would rather die than renounce them. It is in this immutable Faith that we desire to live and die, in the hope that it may give way to the direct vision of the immutable eternal Truth.

The Benedict Resignation is Being Talked About

 Edit: we cited /our/ Hilary back in the day about the Vatican payment portal, Stripe being shut down. This story isn’t dying like we thought it would, and now Podesta is implicated. Gänswein is even talking damage control at Info Vaticana.

Of course, lots of people you wouldn’t expect are lining up to discredit Liftesite and Henry Westen. I’ve always liked Lifesite over the years, because unlike commerce websites like 1p5, it wasn’t focused on an outlandish Steve Skojec or some other weirdo, but on information about things that were happening, you know, informative.

Formative Experiences for New Red Pope

Commie Prylest circled in Red at a protest organized by Italy’s Communist Party 

Edit: Chris used to be a contributor at Remnant along with the judaizing Joseph d’Hippolito. I guess his take on Pope Prylest was too hot to handle. 

 [Chris Jackson] This week’s image was the old photograph of young Robert Prevost in 1983, marching in Comiso, Sicily, in protest against the Cruise missiles installed under Ronald Reagan. That protest was organized by the Italian Communist Party. The old photograph fits the man now sitting in Rome with unnerving precision. It looks like an early disclosure.

Plenty of men did foolish things in youth. Plenty of old photos deserve to stay old. This one does not. This one matters because the instincts visible in the background of that march have never really left the stage. The moral vocabulary may be dressed up now in ecclesiastical language. The slogans may be softened into “peace,” “dialogue,” “encounter,” and “the Gospel.” The old left-wing reflex is still there all the same. Suspicion of the West. Suspicion of political realism. Suspicion of force even in the face of aggression. Moral preening in place of judgment. Humanitarian abstraction where Catholic order should stand.

Conservatives who spent the first weeks of this pontificate soothing themselves with the thought that Leo would somehow be a corrective to Francis now have to deal with a problem they cannot laugh away. The old photo has explanatory power. It helps make sense of the present.

Pope Leo Condemns Urban II


Edit: you’d think Leo would have something more nuanced to say about the situation, especially since he’s supposed to be so educated. In his current bromides, he attacks his predecessors of unhappy memory, namely Urban II and Julius II, among many others. I’m sure he’s have wagged his finger at Pius IX defending Rome against the Freemasons. Leo likes to attack Catholic teaching and cozy up to rainbow celebrity figures like James Martin, but he never condemned Iran for massacring its own civilians and exporting terror abroad. One wonders why he is striving so mightily to justify the murderous government of Algeria and Islam (pbui)…

Obviously, Christopher “fail” Hale loves Francis II and is complaining bitterly. How dare he criticize our Liberal Pontiff and the holy globohomisms!

Can we get our own Pope in there? This one is a far cry from Leo XIII who justly criticizing the military buildup leading up to the fratricidal Great War.

[Chrissy Hale] Vance walked onto a Turning Point USA stage in Phoenix this evening, defended the Trump administration’s bombing campaign as a Christian act, and got heckled by his own crowd. 

“How can you say that God was never on the side of those who wield the sword,” the vice president asked, mid-defense of American military strikes — and a young man in the audience shouted back the only correct answer a Christian could give: “Jesus doesn’t support genocide.”

The Real Cause of the War and the Only Condition for Peace


By Roberto de Mattei*

[Katholisches] Most Western analysts are convinced that the current war taking place in the Middle East is primarily due to economic interests in the oil and energy sectors. At the same time, the greatest concern of public opinion in Europe and the United States is that a prolongation of the conflict could disrupt daily life and significantly lower one's own standard of living. Given this interpretation of events, however, a question arises: Is there truly nothing beyond the economic dimension that could explain what is happening? Was Juan Donoso Cortés wrong when he claimed that there is no political question that does not ultimately involve a theological question, and urged us to turn our gaze toward the sphere of first principles upon which the universe rests? (*Ensayo sobre el catolicismo, el liberalismo y el socialismo*, BAC, 1946, Vol. II, p. 501)

And yet, there is no shortage of voices attributing an eschatological significance to the confused and dramatic events of our time. In the US, for example, Evangelical Protestantism exerts a strong influence on political life. Evangelicals make up about 20–25% of the American population and possess an extensive media network that makes them one of the best-organized religious groups in the country. This spectrum includes currents such as "Christian Zionists," who interpret the return of the Jewish people to the land of Israel as part of a divine plan. Accordingly, the political and military support of the USA for the State of Israel would correspond to a providential plan, and the reconstruction of the Temple in Jerusalem is seen as a necessary step for the fulfillment of biblical prophecies.

During a speech in Jerusalem in 2018, the American Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth openly expressed the hope for the reconstruction of the Third Temple. Today, however, the mount on which the First and Second Temples of Jerusalem once stood—destroyed by the Babylonians and the Romans—is occupied by the Dome of the Rock, one of Islam's most important sanctuaries. Rebuilding the Temple at this location would trigger a conflict with the entire Muslim world; for this reason, many Jews interpret the restoration more symbolically. Nevertheless, messianism remains a unifying element that permeates Judaism both within and outside Israel. For some, it is the expectation of a personal Messiah connected with the restoration of Jerusalem; for others, however, the personal figure of the Messiah is replaced by the concept of a "messianic age," understood as the historical redemption of humanity.

Messianism also plays a central role in Shia Islam, particularly in its most significant branch, Twelver Shiism. Believers are convinced that the twelfth Imam, Muhammad al-Mahdi, did not die but entered a state of "occultation" (*ghayba*) in 941 AD. According to this teaching, he is the "Hidden Imam" who will reappear at the end of time as the Mahdi—the "Rightly Guided One"—to restore justice and usher in an age of truth. The leaders of the Islamic Republic of Iran see themselves as temporary "representatives" of the Mahdi, tasked with ruling until his return. They view the liberation of Al-Quds (Jerusalem) and the holy sites of Islam as a sacred duty for all Muslims to enable the Mahdi's return. The conflict with the State of Israel is a necessary component of this eschatological perspective (Vali Nasr: *The Shia Revival*, W. W. Norton, 2006).

On the other hand, what is the Russian myth of the "Third Rome" if not also an eschatological vision, in which Moscow is presented as the last heir of the true Christian faith, called to preserve it until the end of time? For Putin's ideologue Alexander Dugin, the "Third Rome" represents the counter-pole to the West, which is described as a decadent civilization that has reached the end of its historical cycle. Dugin's critique of the West is taken up and further developed in Iran, Turkey, and the Arab world—particularly from an anti-Zionist perspective.

In their essay *Eurasia and Eschatology: Dugin’s Antiliberal Resonances in the Muslim World*, Kamal Gasimov and Marlene Laruelle have demonstrated the affinity of Dugin’s positions with those of Shiite messianism (*Studies in East European Thought*, 78, 2026, pp. 377–399). Françoise Thom, meanwhile, shows in an article titled *États-Unis et Russie: les ravages de l’eschatologie* (USA and Russia: The Ravages of Eschatology) from March 22, 2026, how Dugin's eschatological syncretism arises from the use of theological themes that serve the Kremlin’s imperialism.

The fundamental error of all false eschatologies ultimately consists in interpreting the struggle between good and evil as a fight between worldly powers for world domination. This shows that even Silicon Valley is not a stranger to these eschatological perspectives. Elon Musk invokes the Russian Konstantin Eduard Tsiolkovsky, the founder of "Cosmism," a pantheistic worldview in which space exploration is considered a necessary step in the evolutionary process of man and his integration into the cosmos.

For his part, Peter Thiel, co-founder of PayPal, argued in a series of lectures he gave in Rome in March on the subject of the Antichrist that technology, depending on its use, can be both an instrument of salvation and a factor of destruction. According to Thiel, the USA embodies a double possibility: either being the *Katechon*—the force that holds back chaos—or becoming the Antichrist, that is, the power that could dominate the world by means of its surveillance instruments. Thiel, himself the creator of technological control systems like the company Palantir, seems to embrace this double and unsettling identity.

And the Catholic Church? Can she limit herself to calling for peace from a perspective as immanent as those who propagate war for worldly purposes? Does the Church not possess her own theology of history based on the Augustinian contrast of the two cities: one driven by the "love of self even to the contempt of God," the other by the "love of God even to the contempt of self" (*De Civitate Dei*, XIV, 28)? In his Easter sermon on April 9, 1939, six months before the outbreak of World War II, Pius XII reminded us that "the only and unshakable foundation upon which true peace rests is God: God known, God respected, God obeyed. To diminish or destroy this subordination to the Divine Creator is the same as disturbing or completely destroying peace in individuals as in families, in nations as in the whole world."

The departure from God is the cause of every war, just as the return to the natural and divine order preserved by the Catholic Church is the condition for the only true peace. "Then at length," Pius XI exclaims in his encyclical *Quas Primas* of December 11, 1925, "will many a wound be healed; then will all law regain its former authority; then will the blessings of peace be restored; and the swords will fall from the hands of all, when all men shall freely acknowledge and obey the dominion of Christ, and every tongue shall confess that the Lord Jesus Christ is in the glory of God the Father."

The message of Fatima from 1917, which prophesies the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary after a chastisement of the nations, seals this theology of history. Those who are able to raise their gaze beyond the immanent horizon of historical events trust in that ordered peace which the Redeemer will bring to earth before the end of time, and entrust its realization to His Divine Mother.

On the Death of Prof. Jean-Claude Lozac'hmeur

Here is the English translation of the text regarding Prof. Jean-Claude Lozac'hmeur.


**Catholic fighter, defender of Breton identity, linguist, historian, and critic of Freemasonry and its influence on the French state; pictured with his book: "The Occultist Origins of Freemasonry"**

On Maundy Thursday, April 2, 2026, the Breton scholar Prof. Jean-Claude Lozac’hmeur was called home by God at the age of 86 in Saint-Malo (Breton: *Sant-Maloù*). Lozac’hmeur was a passionate fighter for the faith, a linguist, medievalist, literary critic, and essayist whose work leaves a lasting mark on the French intellectual landscape.

A Life Anchored in the Church

Born in April 1940 in Toulon, Lozac’hmeur grew up on the Île de Molène (Breton: *Molenez*) and attended the Collège of the Frères de Lamennais in Saint-Renan (Breton: *Lokournan*). His deep connection to the Church and the Holy Mass shaped his entire life. Despite the painful and prolonged crisis within the Church, he remained steadfast. Without his tireless efforts, the Holy Mass in the traditional form of the Roman Rite would not have been established with such energy in Brittany. Religious instruction and ethical issues, such as *Humanae Vitae* and the right-to-life movement, were also particularly close to his heart.

In 1961, he married and became the father of five children. By the age of 23, he passed the examination for secondary school teaching and began teaching at the Collège of Combourg (Breton: *Komborn*). In parallel, he continued his university education, notably under the supervision of Prof. Charles Foulon at the University of Rennes-II, where he later taught as a lecturer, assistant professor, associate professor, and finally, a full professor.

Scientific Merits

Lozac’hmeur earned his doctorate in 1978 with the thesis *La Genèse de la légende d’Yvain: essai de synthèse* (The Genesis of the Legend of Yvain: A Synthetic Essay), supervised by Prof. Léon Fleuriot, the head of the Celtic department at Rennes II. Together, they published an anthology of Celtic poetry—alongside Léon Prat and with an introduction by Per Jakez-Elias—which remains a reference work to this day.

His further scholarly works include translations and studies of medieval texts, such as the *Chanson d’Aiquin* ("The Song of Aiquin," 1985, with Maud Ozzava) and numerous works on the Arthurian legend in cooperation with the Japanese medievalist Shigemi Sazaki. His research on King Arthur, the Holy Grail, and figures like Mabonagrain is cited in Philippe Walter's *Dictionnaire de mythologie arthurienne*.

Beyond research, Lozac’hmeur was committed to training students at Rennes II and other universities. He was a co-founder of the Faculty of Saint-Malo (Faclib), intended to offer an alternative to the ideological influence then prevailing in higher education. However, political intervention led to its closure—another point of pain in his life.

Brittany

Jean-Claude Lozac’hmeur campaigned intensively for his Breton homeland, particularly for the preservation and strengthening of Brittany's cultural identity. In his writings, he emphasized the historical independence of the region, its traditions, history, and the consciousness of a deep-rooted cultural continuity within France. He viewed Brittany not merely as a geographical space, but as a cultural community with its own distinct character, whose values and traditions should be preserved and passed on. His commitment thus went beyond simple local heritage care and was closely linked to the desire to assert regional identity against tendencies toward homogenization.

This was no easy undertaking in a France whose state doctrine since the French Revolution has been based on centralism and a uniform nation-state, which sought to erase linguistic and cultural diversity and fundamentally fought ethnic minorities, even though they are a part of France. He also recognized in this the "poisoned" Masonic influence, which he opposed.

Masonic Studies

Lozac’hmeur published numerous works on Freemasonry, which are considered carefully researched and documented. He argued that modern Freemasonry, though not directly, is based on ancient mystery cults and pursues an ideological goal: the establishment of a global state in which man becomes quasi-godlike through science and technology. His central works include:

 * **Actualité de l’Apocalypse** ("The Relevance of the Apocalypse," Éditions des Cîmes)

 * **De la Ré-volution – Essai sur la politique maçonnique** ("On the Re-volution – An Essay on Masonic Politics," Éditions Sainte Jeanne d’Arc)

 * **Fils de la veuve – Recherches sur l’ésotérisme maçonnique** ("Son of the Widow – Research on Masonic Esotericism," Éditions de Chiré)

 * **De la Gnose au Graal – Aperçu sur une tradition initiatique** ("From Gnosis to the Grail – Insights into an Initiatic Tradition," Éditions des Cîmes)

 * **Les origines occultistes de la franc-maçonnerie – Recherches sur une religion d’État** ("The Occultist Origins of Freemasonry – Studies on a State Religion," Éditions des Cîmes)

All works remain available through the Catholic publisher and distributor *Livres en Famille*.

His defense of the Catholic Church, Catholic moral teaching, the right to life for unborn children, and natural law—alongside his decisive fight against Freemasonry and its influence on the French state, state doctrine, and social life—earned him the bitter enmity of his opponents. They attempted to discredit him through massive campaigns, a tactic known in German-speaking countries as the summary "fight against the right" (*Kampf gegen rechts*).

Farewell and Legacy

Jean-Claude Lozac’hmeur passed away on a symbolically significant day, Maundy Thursday. An obituary for him states: For a man deeply connected to the faith, this is a sign of the constant spiritual struggle for the Eucharist, the great mystery of God giving Himself to the faithful.

The funeral services will take place during Easter week on Thursday, April 9, 2026, at 2:30 PM in his Breton home of Sant-Maloù, at the Chapel of Sainte-Anne de Saint-Servan (52 rue Jean XXIII, Saint-Malo 35400).

His work remains a testimony to a life of faith, scholarship, education, and the defense of Catholic tradition. He combined this life with the courage to contradict the official state and historical narrative and the dominant socio-political trends, pointing out suppressed aspects and offering different perspectives.

In the language of the Church and in his mother tongue:

*Requiescat in pace.*

*Ra vo e ene e peoc’h.

Catholicism Catching a Bid in UK



Edit: I’ll bet Gaybrielle is mad that more fervant youthful Catholics are going to show up at Mass and confessional to offer helpful suggestions about his room temperature catholicity.

Our very own (not really) Andrew Cusack opines!


[Catholic Herald] within the Union, Scotland likes to do its own thing. For centuries a different legal system and state religion have marked its distinction from its southern neighbour – differences only augmented once the Scottish Parliament was reconvened in 1999. That same year, the composer James MacMillan ruffled the feathers of Scotland’s presiding liberal elite by calling out the ongoing anti-Catholic bigotry he argued was still pervasive in parts of Scottish society. The reaction to his remarks showed the Catholic Church has occupied an uneasy position within Scottish society.

As anecdotal and statistical reports from across the western world are showing a ‘quiet revival’ in interest in Christianity more broadly and Catholicism specifically, I spoke with Monsignor Patrick Burke, the parish priest of St James Church and Catholic chaplain to the University of St Andrews, to discuss how – or even whether – this revival is happening in Scotland and how the Church is responding.

“It’s definitely happening, but it’s got nothing to do with us,” Monsignor Burke reported. “God knows we – priests, laity – have done everything we can to destroy the Church but nonetheless there is a perceptible interest, a turning towards Catholic Christianity.”

Catholic Charities Gave us Somali Pirates and Engages in Human Trafficking


Edit: found this from @operationobvious on Instagram and TickTock. It took awhile to locate the provenance of the video. It’s interesting that the video doesn’t cover all the highlights dealing with Catholic Charities involvement with importing Somalia into the United States, but what he also maintains, something we’ve said for more than a decade, that Catholic Charities is a human trafficking organization.

Steve Robinson highlights several key points regarding their involvement: 

• (1:17:05) He describes how Catholic Charities makes significant amounts of money by relocating migrants to various parts of the country.

 • (1:17:17) He characterizes their operations as a form of "human trafficking," stating that they are paid to distribute people who have crossed the border illegally throughout the United States. 

• (1:17:34) He clarifies that while they have an affiliation with the Catholic Church, the organization functions primarily as a non-profit migrant resettlement business.

 • (1:25:07 - 1:25:12) Robinson mentions that officials from Catholic Charities have been directly involved in state government offices, such as the Office of New Americans in Maine.

De Bonald Contra Jewish Emancipation



[From @BThiong1885] Did you know?

Louis de Bonald (1754-1840), the great French counter-revolutionary thinker, monarchist and traditionalist Catholic, published a virulent text in 1806 against the emancipation of the Jews, denouncing Judaism as a foreign, parasitic force incompatible with French Christian society?

Louis de Bonald embodies the lucid reaction against the Revolution: he sees the Jewish emancipation of 1791 not as progress, but as an existential threat that dissolves the traditional order, Christian morality and national cohesion.

In his article “On the Jews” (Mercure de France, 8 February 1806), he asserts that the Jews form an “imperium in imperio” (a state within a state), that they are at war with Christian morality, that they live as parasites and remain a perpetually foreign people, even on French soil.
He compares their situation to that of freed Blacks and accuses the Enlightenment philosophers of having intellectually armed this senseless emancipation. He even goes so far as to write that if a Jewish Sanhedrin became the legislator, it could not produce laws more atrocious than those of the revolutionary Convention.

For Bonald, Judaism is not merely a different religion: it is a parallel society that refuses assimilation, practises usury and undermines the Catholic foundations of France. He calls for the return of discriminatory measures (distinctive markings, professional restrictions) to protect the nation.

SSPX Sends Book to Italian Bishops to Justify Upcoming Episcopal Consecrations


[katholisches.info] The Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) has launched a targeted information campaign ahead of its announced episcopal consecrations on July 1, 2026. According to reports, the traditionalist community sent a specially published book to every Italian diocesan bishop outlining its motives.

The volume, titled Al servizio della Chiesa ("In the Service of the Church") with the subtitle "The Episcopal Consecrations of the Society of St. Pius X," was published by the society's own press, Edizioni Piane. It aims to explain the theological and canonical arguments used by the SSPX to justify the planned consecrations. The content follows the line of reasoning established by its founder, Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, in 1988, which he termed "Operation Survival" for Tradition.

"In the Service of the Church: The Episcopal Consecrations"

The work portrays a deep crisis within the Church where—according to the Society's position—even ecclesiastical authorities are contributing to the spread of a "falsified faith." From this, the SSPX derives a "right to resistance" against the hierarchy. A quote from St. Paul’s Epistle to the Galatians, warning against the preaching of a "different gospel," serves as a programmatic opening.

The book was accompanied by a letter from the Italian District Superior, Father Gabriele D’Avino. In it, the action is described as an invitation to diocesan bishops to engage with the current state of the Church and enter into a process of "joint reflection."

Parallel Efforts in German-Speaking Regions

Simultaneously, the Society published its own brochure in the German-speaking world, compiling essential information regarding the upcoming consecrations. This publication is explicitly intended as a contribution to transparency and aims to provide supporting arguments for priests, the faithful, and interested parties.

Whether this initiative will resonate with the recipients remains to be seen. Observers note that even fundamental texts on recent church history are often little known. Nevertheless, the SSPX's approach shows that it is making an effort not only to justify its controversial steps internally but also to represent them proactively to the Catholic public, seeking contact with other parts of the Church.

Iron and Fire: Breaking the Rogue States of 1816 and 2026

British Ships of the Line at Algiers, August 26th 1816


Military history is often sanitized (and weaponized, no pun intended) for the purposes of propaganda, and demoralization of Western peoples and our story, it can be a mercy and a salvation to delve  into maps and maneuvers, where they can reveal and spell out the sinuous, harmonious connections underlying the story of our people, of Christendom, which is sometimes sorrowful, often triumphant, one of these connections is between the Bombardment of Algiers (1816) and Operation Epic Fury (2026) which were righteous, powerful responses to regimes that had pushed the international community to a breaking point. To understand these conflicts, one must look at the predatory nature of the targeted states and the devastating "super weapons" deployed to dismantle them.

The Butcher’s Bill: Regimes of Terror

The history of the West’s conflict with Islam is ancient, and it is incredible that the same personalities and physiognomies play themselves out over the centuries, just as Alexander the Great turned east and struck down Persian power, establishing a lasting connection and hegemony of the West over the Orient, and the latest conflict, involving the murderous and brutal Iranian regime and yet another righteously vengeful Western power. Such was the case in the way Western states dealt with Islamic pirate states in the 19th century, a continuation of centuries of war and piracy directed against European people by these brutal people which continues even to this day!

The Deylik of Algiers in 1816 was not a standard diplomatic partner; it was a state built on the economy of human suffering. For three centuries, the Barbary pirates had enslaved over a million Europeans, snatching victims from as far away as Iceland. By 1816, the "white slave trade" had reached a fever pitch of cruelty. The Dey, Omar Agha, famously treated diplomats with contempt, once even detaining the British Consul in irons. The bombardment was sparked by a horrific massacre of 200 Sicilian and Corsican fishermen under British protection—men who were slaughtered or dragged into chains while they slept.

The Iranian Regime in 2026 mirror-imaged this domestic and regional brutality. Leading up to the strikes, the Islamic Republic had engaged in what Amnesty International called the "deadliest period of repression in decades." In January 2026 alone, security forces carried out mass killings of thousands of protesters, using heavy machine guns on civilians in cities like Bandar Abbas and Neyshabur. Combined with their "nuclear breakout" and the constant threat to global energy through the mining of the Strait of Hormuz, the regime had become an existential "rogue actor" that the Trump administration viewed as beyond the reach of traditional sanctions. Iran has long leveled its murderous intent against European peoples, including the US Marines in Beruit bombing in 1983, an operation by the way, which the Mossad was aware of and didn’t forewarn us. Our greatest ally. 

The Hammer: British Ships of the Line

When diplomacy failed in 1816, the British sent the "super weapons" of the 19th century: the First-Rate Ship of the Line.

 * HMS Queen Charlotte: Admiral Pellew’s flagship was a floating fortress carrying over 100 guns. During the battle, it anchored just 80 yards from the Algerian mole—literally within spitting distance of the enemy batteries.

 * The Firepower: The Allied fleet fired over 50,000 round shots using 118 tons of gunpowder in a single afternoon.

 * Congreve Rockets: These were the "smart bombs" of the era—early incendiary missiles that arched over the city’s walls, turning the Algerian navy into a bonfire within their own harbor.

The carnage was "sanguinary" (bloody). The British casualty rate was 16%, nearly double that of the Battle of Trafalgar. It wasn't a tactical dance; it was a grueling, industrial-scale demolition of a city.

The Lightning: Trump’s "Epic Fury"

In 2026, the weaponry shifted from massed cannon fire to "invisible" precision. Operation Epic Fury showcased a suite of high-tech assets designed to strike without warning:

 * B-21 Raider & B-2 Spirit: Stealth bombers flew directly into the most "impenetrable" Iranian air defenses, dropping 30,000-pound Massive Ordnance Penetrators (MOP) to collapse nuclear bunkers buried deep under mountains.

 * The PrSM (Precision Strike Missile): Fired from HIMARS units, these missiles reached speeds and accuracies that rendered Iranian "S-400" defense systems obsolete.

 * Decapitation Tech: Unlike 1816, where the goal was to hit the city, 2026 focused on the individual. The use of "R9X" kinetic missiles—the so-called "flying ginsu" with blades instead of explosives—allowed for the targeted elimination of IRGC leadership while they were in moving vehicles, a level of terrifying precision that the British of 1816 could only have dreamed of.

Conclusion: The Price of Defiance

Despite the differences in the weapons, many things are the same, the antagonists are the same, the same Oriental cruelty and arrogance is the present. For now, we have the technological superiority Christian nations have lacked in the past, but we still fight on.

Both Algiers and Tehran underestimated the "breaking point" of a global power. In 1816, the British proved that wooden ships could survive a shore battery long enough to level a city. In 2026, the U.S. proved that geographic isolation and deep bunkers offer no protection against fifth-generation warfare.

In both cases, the "super weapons" achieved their immediate goal: the Dey of Algiers surrendered and freed 3,000 slaves the next day, and the Iranian command structure was shattered in 100 hours.

At this point, we stand at a brief pause as the world waits for the pause. Like the English King Henry V at Harfleuer, or Admiral Exner in Algeria, a successful bluff decided the day. Is the Don making a similar bluff, or is he stalling while he waits for ground forces and additional carriers arrive to steel the resolve of his diplomacy?

Exorcist Fr. Chad Ripperger appears on The Shawn Ryan Show and the Snowflakes have a conniption

If you've never heard of the well-fed Mike Lewis, think of someone like Mark Shea who can use a fork.  For several years he has run the Where Peter Is website, a website we dismissed for years as satire like Eye of the Tiber and Liturgical Road Apples.   Those satirical sites just couldn't compete with real news for laughs any longer.   Now Fr. Ripperger has lived rent free in Lewis' brain for some time so it was no surprise that when it was announced he'd be appearing on one of the most popular podcasts in the world, Mike would be all over it like stink on shit.   In anticipation of the show, he set out to slander the good exorcist

His article was then followed by an appearance on Eternal Life Plan with another papolotrist, a well fed former Church Militant employee who is tormented by demons from a troubled past.  Both admit that they didn't watch the whole show before going live but who could blame them?   Does anyone  think they ever went four hours without eating?

Communiqué of the General House: Answer of the Society to Rome



[katholisches.info] The response of the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) to Rome is now available. Here is the full text:

Communiqué regarding the response of the General Council of the Priestly Society of St. Pius X to the proposal of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith.

During the meeting on February 12 between Father Pagliarani, Superior General of the Society of St. Pius X, and His Eminence Víctor Manuel Cardinal Fernández, Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith—which was organized following the announcement of future episcopal consecrations for the Society—the latter proposed a "specifically theological path of dialogue following a very precise methodology, [...] in order to work out the necessary minimum requirements for full communion with the Catholic Church," and tied this dialogue to the suspension of the announced episcopal consecrations.

At the request of the Prefect of the Dicastery, the Superior General presented this proposal to the members of his Council and took the necessary time to evaluate it.

On February 18, Father Pagliarani transmitted his written response to the Cardinal, accompanied by several appendices and signed by the five members of the General Council.

Since the matter is now public knowledge due to the Holy See's communication on February 12, it seems appropriate to also publish the content of this letter and its appendices, to give interested faithful the opportunity to know the exact response given.

The Superior General entrusts this situation to the prayers of the members of the Society and all the faithful. He asks that the Rosary, as well as the sacrifices of the Lenten season now beginning, be offered especially for the Holy Father, for the good of the Holy Church, and for the worthy preparation of souls for the ceremony on July 1.
