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
“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.
[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.

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.
