Pope Leo’s Pachamama Mass

On July 9th, Pope Leo offered his first Mass “for the Care of Creation”. The Mass contained many clues that show his agenda is no different from the human-centred goal of his predecessor, Pope Francis. Significantly, the press conference announcing the Mass featured Cardinal Michael Czerny, the man who promotes the Integral Ecology of Liberation Theologian, Leonardo Boff and Archbishop Francesco Viola, the man who wears Annibale Bugnini’s ring.

Firstly, I’d like to present an alternative view to mine, that is, a traditional Catholic’s interpretation of this Mass as being entirely orthodox and in line with the correct Catholic approach to creation. It seems solid, ending with the comment: “The keystone of the entire homily lies in the final sentence: ‘Only a contemplative gaze can change our relationship with created things’,” then providing a thoughtful explanation of what this means for faithful Catholics.

The only problem is, Pope Leo’s ‘contemplative gaze’ quote is taken from Laudato Si – that is, straight from the mouth of Papa Bergoglio. When one reads the entire sermon, it becomes obvious that Pope Leo is not, in fact, as the author suggests, referencing the traditional teaching on creation. Rather, he is continuing Francis’ mission which is none other than that of the subversive forces who gave us the Pact of the Catacombs. Clues such as ‘cry of the earth and cry of the poor’ abound, as do multiple references to Pope Francis and his pantheistic encyclical, Laudato Si. (For a complete analysis, see this article at Novus Ordo Watch.)

Apart from the obvious display of devotion to Pope Francis, there may be even more to this Mass than first appears. For this, it must be viewed through the lens of occult symbolism and so some speculation is in order.

Pachamama Mass

Borgo Laudato Si Gardens

The Mass for Creation took place at the Borgo Laudato Si (The “Praised be” Village) – the immense gardens of the Pope’s holiday residence, Castel Gandolfo. Pope Francis had this turned into a tourist attraction, meant to provide some income for the cash-strapped Vatican whilst educating the public about ‘integral ecology’ (worshipping the environment). Remember, this is the vision that would have us believe that “justice and peace will only dwell on the Earth” when everyone has access to clean water.

The gardens made the perfect setting for a pagan ritual: that is, outdoors, in a grove. Groves were condemned by God throughout the Old Testament for their relationship to paganism and the prophets were often instructed to destroy these places where adulterous Israelites would gather to worship false gods.

The Dicastery for Integral Human development posted this to social media with the following caption: ‘Only a contemplative gaze can change our relationship with #Creation and bring us out of the ecological crisis’.
But, it must be asked, where is Christ in this scenario?

Groves and the Divine Feminine

Is the statue behind the altar Our Lady? It’s certainly possible and at least she is dressed more modestly than Papa Bergoglio’s false Mary, undoer of knots. But in the current context, I’d like to explore another possibility: that this female figure represents a pagan goddess: Pachamama or perhaps Isis.

The Hebrew word for ‘grove’ is ‘Asherah’ which can also mean a sacred tree or wooden pole or totem which was worshipped as an idol. The name ‘Asherah’ (or ‘Ašratu’ in Akkadian), can also denote the pagan goddess of groves who was worshipped by the Phoenicians, the Akkaddians, the Hittites, and the Canaanites. Ashrerah was considered to be the ‘Queen of Heaven’ and is sometimes identified with the ‘Divine Feminine’.

The Queen of Heaven archetype appears often in pagan belief systems. For example, in Egyptian mythology the Queen of Heaven was Isis, the sister-wife of Osiris, sometimes known as the ‘World Virgin’. Isis is the personification of Nature and like other types of this goddess is associated with fertility.

As a mother-goddess who was and is blasphemously believed by some to be the consort of God, Asherah can be equated with the Pachamama of South America. Pachamama, as we know, is identified with Mother Earth and with the Divine Feminine. A common offering to Pachamama is the gift of flowers, especially yellow ones, and these can be seen on the altar at the Pope’s Mass of Creation – in violation of the GIRM (General Instruction on the Roman Missal).

Yellow flowers, a common offering for Pachamama, were placed on the altar, in violation of the GIRM.

Asherah/Isis was goddess of motherhood, and wisdom and as such may also be identified with ‘Sophia’ – the personification of wisdom. In Gnosticism, Sophia plays a fundament role, as she is an aspect of god and an agent of chaos and confusion which can only be countered by the ‘gnosis’ of ‘Jesus Christ’ which humans require to escape the physical world and return to the spiritual one.

To see a statue of a woman placed prominently behind the altar during the outdoor Mass of Creation, hands crossed over her chest in the gesture of Osiris and surmounted by a triangle (an important occult/Masonic symbol ) makes one wonder if this is not meant to represent Our Lady, but rather the anti-Mary World Virgin who is known as Ashrerah, Isis, Sophia or Pachamama.

Wisdom Between Two Pillars

The placement of the figure of Isis/Pachamama between two pillars provides further material for discussion as this is a specific arrangement in the occult with its own meaning:

The World Virgin is sometimes shown standing between two great pillars–the Jachin and Boaz of Freemasonry–symbolizing the fact that Nature attains productivity by means of polarity. As wisdom personified, Isis stands between the pillars of opposites, demonstrating that understanding is always found at the point of equilibrium and that truth is often crucified between the two thieves of apparent contradiction.

Manly P. Hall, The Secret Teachings of all Ages

Another interpretation of the setting of a female icon of Wisdom between two pillars comes from the Tarot. In this system, the woman is associated with the mythical ‘Pope Joan’ – a false female Pope! Surely, that’s not the message being conveyed here!?!

Opposing Forces

As has been repeated often among these pages, the Great Work of the occultist is to access gnosis in order to reconcile opposing forces. The placement of the female goddess figure between the two pillars echoes that principle. It is repeated in the elegant reflective pool which appears in front of the altar, a perfect embodiment of the principle of ‘as above, so below‘.

The reflective pool expresses the principle of ‘as above, so below’

The occult pectoral cross

For the occasion of the Mass of Creation, Pope Leo wore a pectoral cross decorated with an image of the Good Shepherd. While this appears at first to be the same cross was worn by the infamous Cardinal Bernadin (see article here) on closer inspection, this doesn’t seem to be the case. A separate article studies these crosses and may be found here.

Despite any differences in the crosses, it’s worth noting for our purposes that in the original version of this cross – the one worn by Cardinal Bernadin and Pope Francis – the ‘Good Shepherd’ was modelled on the Egyptian god, Osiris and that as mentioned above, the wife of Osiris was the goddess, Isis.

Conclusion

Rather than merely hijacking the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass to promote the prevailing, disordered, emphasis on the environment, there were enough red flags here to indicate an occult ritual took place under the guise of, or in conjunction with, the liturgy.

Although we may never know the truth, it is educational to decode the hierarchy’s clues which were hiding in plain site in what at first appears to be a tranquil and thoroughly Catholic scene.

To see Mass offered outdoors in a lush grove, near twin pillars that are surmounted by a triangle, close to a reflective pool with all being overseen by the divine feminine should fill us with horror, rather than delight. It is yet another sign of the new papacy’s agenda: to present Modernism with a smile and to lure Catholics into nature worship using the tantalising bait of aesthetics.

An associate of Father Isaac Mary Relyea, made an interesting point on their Youtube channel : he said the name, Mass for the “Care of Creation” immediately reminded him of the “Cremation of Care” ritual performed at Bohemian Grove. Hmmm. Another ritual in an infamous grove. That certainly is food for thought.

Pope Leo & Bergoglio’s occult-inspired pectoral cross

In my recent article about Cardinal Bernadin, I referenced a pectoral cross he often wore which showed his allegiance to the occult and to other nefarious characters in the hierarchy. That article cited information from Rosicrucians which explained that their esoteric version of the ‘Good Shepherd’ was indicated by arms crossed over the chest.

Cardinal Fernandez and Pope Francis have also worn this same cross: in Bergoglio’s case, he wore it first as Archbishop and Cardinal of Argentina. 

Crossed arms are also found in Masonry and in its offshoot, the OTO (Ordo Templi Orientis), and were inspired by the Egyptian god, Osiris.

As an aside, celebrities seem to be as fond of being photographed making this gesture as they are of making the Illuminati ‘one-eye’ sign and devils’ horns.

Another shot of the cross showing the shepherd’s face looking straight ahead.

Pope Leo, as Robert Prevost, was apparently apparently photographed wearing the occult-version. I say ‘apparently’, because the photograph on the left is so outrageous that I had waited to see solid proof that it was not photoshopped. That is, proof was wanting until the photograph on the right was sent to me. It came from a Spanish website called Religion the Free Voice and shows Prevost againt wearing the occult-inspired pectoral cross.

Here is a picture of Pope Leo XIV, taken on the day of his ‘Mass for Creation’. As can be seen, he is wearing a pectoral cross bearing an image of the Good shepherd.

However, there is something very significant about his cross. As the closeups show, this doesn’t appear to be identical with similar crosses worn by Pope Francis, or Cardinals Bernadin and Fernandez: it has been changed slightly.

Here is Leo’s cross again, at even closer range.

What say you, friends? Is this the same cross? In all truth, it appears not to be. The shepherd appears to have only one arm crossed over his breast – his left arm – and his body is a little shorter than in the Bergoglio/Bernadin version. The robe is raised slightly on the right-hand-side (the shepherd’s left) as if he is walking. The Holy Ghost dove is in the same position but the vertical lines/ridges in the background have been removed, or are at least not so prominent. In contrast to the other cross, the shepherd’s head seems to be oriented downwards and slightly towards his right.

What does is all mean? Is Leo playing the players? Has he tapped in to the graces of his new state as Pontiff of the Holy Catholic Church? While I’d like to think this is the case, here is a different theory (as presented to me by my son.) If this ‘Good Shepherd’ is inspired by a god of Ancient Egypt, we must cast our minds back to that period.

We know that at times, ancient Egypt was governed by Pharaohs who demanded that they be worshipped as gods, but this wasn’t always the case. There was a time known as the First Intermediate Period during which the Pharaohs ruled in a more ‘synodal’ style. They shared power with the nomes, who were the rulers of a series of city-states called nomarchs. Most notably, this time came after the more authoritarian period of the Old Kingdom – and was later followed by another time of absolute rule by the Pharaohs.

Is it possible that the updated version of the pectoral cross indicates that the authoritarian rule of Bergoglio has given way to Leo’s ‘synodal’ path of cheerfully allowing bishops to implement whatever degree of orthodoxy or error they desire in their own dioceses? (For that is precisely what synodality entails.) Is this cross the symbol of the next phase of the revolution?

No matter what is the meaning of this strange development, please, PLEASE, dear Catholics, choose a simple daily penance to offer to Our Lady that this Pope will consecrate Russia to Her Immaculate Heart and end the confusion which reigns around us. As I’m fond of saying: he doesn’t have to believe, he just has to do it!

Virgo potens, ora pro nobis!

Is Rupnik finally about to receive justice?

Some good news, finally, from the Vatican on the Rupnik case: it was announced that the notorious abuser of 30 nuns and occult-artist will soon be subject to an independent investigation.

Cardinal Fernandez, unusually this time the bearer of good news, reported that the panel “is made up of judges who are all independent and external to our dicastery” in order “to dissolve the idea that the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith or the Holy See had any interest or were subject to pressure. People were chosen who would not give rise to any suspicion.”

It is certainly to be hoped that the individuals comprising the panel and will actually be independent and not secret minions of Rupnik’s – a man whose reach seems to be enormous.

Rupnik’s victims are pleased at the move, and their lawyer said “will certainly cooperate fully in reconstructing the facts and seeking the truth. We hope that this case will be concluded as soon as possible and that it will finally bring comfort to the victims.”

The news outlet responsible for bringing so much of the details of the Rupnik case to out attention is Silere non possum. This group interviewed victims and traced many appointments in the Dicastery for Communications back to the influence of Rupnik. This explains why Rupnik’s disturbing artwork continued to be promoted by the Vatican for years after his abuse was made public.

For reference, a timeline is given below to show how long the Vatican has known that Rupnik is an abuser and blaphemer: the first credible accusations were brought to the Jesuit’s attention back in 1995.

  • 2020: excommunication is lifted almost immediately.2
  • 2021: investigation by Vatican into Rupnik’s Aletti community
  • 2021, Dec: news of Rupnik’s investigation, latae sententiae excommunication and its subsequent lifting were published by Italian outlet Silere non possum.

  1. His alleged victim reported: “After my first complaint, nobody helped me, neither the Community, nor the Archbishop of Ljubljana then, nor the spiritual director of Fr. Rupnik with whom I spoke trying to explain what had happened. All of them, even the Jesuit superiors of Fr. Rupnik and those who became aware of the facts, decided to cover everything with a blanket of silence.” ↩︎
  2. According to Cardinal Fernandez, this practice happens “much more often than one might imagine.” ↩︎
  3. The Vatican said the decision was made after “the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors brought to the pope’s attention that there were serious problems in the handling of the Father Marko Rupnik case and lack of outreach to victims.” ↩︎

James Martin takes blasphemy to a new level

I didn’t watch the interview – why would any faithful Catholic want to put themself through that? Reading the summary article was bad enough.

For those who aren’t aware, sodomite priest James Martin interviewed sodomite Democrat politician, Pete Buttigieg, for a new podcast series at the sodomite outlet, America Magazine. If the premise itself wasn’t bad enough, Martin took the opportunity to blaspheme in previously unheard of ways.

Well, occultists and sodomites blaspheme like this all the time. The difference is that pious ears normally aren’t aware of it.

According to the interview, Buttigieg is the son of an ex-Jesuit priest, so he didn’t receive the greatest start in life. Buttigieg, the former Secretary of Transportation, likes to think of himself as a “committed Christian”, and Martin does nothing to convince him otherwise. Rather, Martin confirms Buttigieg in his gravely sinful lifestyle: an active sodomite who lives with his gay “husband”. The men have adopted two little boys, deliberately depriving them of their mothers – those irreplaceable women who are most essential for the well-being of any child.

For Buttigieg, being a sodomite Christian is not incidental; it is his very identity. He says, “For There are two things I’m really sure about. One is that God loves me. And another is that I’m gay….

Then comes the blasphemy – and this really is a new low for Martin. He writes that when Buttigieg saw his little son hurt himself, he was struck by the love of God the Father for His Son. Buttigieg said:

“It just took over my entire psyche…. The central story of the New Testament involves the grisly execution of the son of God.… It just makes it so much more searing and visceral now that I’ve got kids.”

Well, for one thing, those aren’t your kids, but whatever, Buttigieg. According to Martin, this realisation “invited him to meditate more deeply on something Trinitarian: the Father’s love for the Son.”

Not only is he unable to count (only two Persons were mentioned, and not the three that constitute the Blessed Trinity) but the perverted mind of James Martin. SJ correlates the mystery of the Holy Trinity with the one sin that not even demons dare to witness! This is obscene blasphemy, friends.

Here is what Our Lord told St. Catherine of Siena about the sin of sodomy:

It is not only that this sin stinks before Me, Who am the Supreme and Eternal Truth, it does indeed displease Me so much and I hold it in such abomination that for it alone I buried five cities by a Divine judgment, My Divine justice being no longer able to endure it.

This sin not only displeases Me as I have said, but also the devils whom these wretches have made their masters. Not that the evil displeases them because they like anything good, but because their nature was originally angelic, and their angelic nature causes them to loathe the sight of the actual commission of this enormous sin.

They truly enough hurl the arrow poisoned with the venom of concupiscence, but when their victim proceeds to the actual commission of the sin, they depart for the reason and in the manner that I have said. 

Our Lord was particularly upset by priests who engaged in this grave perversion:

But they act in a contrary way, for they come full of impurity to this mystery, and not only of that impurity to which, through the fragility of your weak nature, you are all naturally inclined (although reason when free-will permits, can quiet the rebellion of nature), but these wretches not only do not bridle this fragility, but do worse, committing that accursed sin against nature, and as blind and fools with the light of their intellect darkened, they do not know the stench and misery in which they are.

So according to Our Lord, pro-gay priests like James Martin are “full of impurity”, “wretches” and “stench and misery.” Notoriously, Martin was appointed to the Vatican’s Dicastery for Communication in 2017 by Papa Bergoglio and at the time of writing, (June 27, 2025) his name still appears on the Dicastery’s official webpage as a Consulter.

Will Pope Leo XIV remove this dreadful man from his official position? Will Martin be chastised for his blasphemies? This seems very unlikely as Leo and James Martin appear to be on the same page. Recall that Martin was absolutely jubilant at the election of Leo XIV and that this was the first red flag indicating that Prevost would continue Bergoglio’s agenda.

Please make reparations for these blasphemies; the Golden Arrow prayer is ideal for this purpose:

May the most holy, most sacred, most adorable, most incomprehensible and unutterable Name of God be always praised, blessed, loved, adored, and glorified in heaven, on earth, and in the hells, by all the creatures of God and by the Sacred Heart of our Lord Jesus Christ in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. Amen.

Pagan Idol Bishop Gets Promoted?!

republished from The Remnant.

It is by now common knowledge that Pope Leo XIV has made another highly inappropriate episcopal appointment in the person of Shane Mackinlay, currently Bishop of Sandhurst. To rub salt into the wounds of faithful Catholics, this new appointment will include Mackinlay’s promotion to the rank of Archbishop, as he takes over the Archdiocese of Brisbane, Queensland.

Bishop  Mackinlay has become prominent in recent months over his unrepentant installation of a demonic idol inside Sacred Heart Cathedral. Despite repeated calls for the removal of the infamous idol, and a petition singed by more than a thousand people, Bishop Mackinlay refused to back down. The idol had been part of a local art exhibition, and was openly linked by its creator with the occult, specifically with the condemned practices of Tarot card reading and witchcraft. Its placement in the Cathedral, as part of an esoteric ‘pilgrimage’ made a mockery of true Catholic pilgrimages and of Catholic belief itself.

Eventually, the laity stepped in and the idol was ‘relocated‘ by three anonymous men in broad daylight. No apology was ever provided by Bishop Mackinlay to deeply offended Catholics nor was a statement made by the diocese about the statue’s removal from the Cathedral.

The pagan idol display was only one of a series of incidents that point to Bishop Mackinlay’s failure to enforce the Catholic religion in his diocese, as ongoing scandals have been quite a feature of his tenure there. 

The pagan idol display was only one of a series of incidents that point to Bishop Mackinlay’s failure to enforce the Catholic religion in his diocese, as ongoing scandals have been quite a feature of his tenure there.  One recent incident highlights the diocese’s commitment to extreme ecumenism with its accompanying liturgical laxity. 

On that occasion, an Anglican priestess gave the appearance of concelebrating Mass. The woman, a known lesbian, remained near the altar during a Novus Ordo Mass and was administered Holy Communion. She even helped herself to a chalice containing the Precious Blood until it was retrieved by the hapless Catholic priest who has apparently suffered no consequences for his actions from the Bishop. While some good, orthodox priests do exist in Sandhurst diocese, these are few and far between, and they have been living with a constant fear of being targeted by their Bishop.

It is being argued that, along with other recent episcopal appointments made by Pope Leo, this one was in the pipeline long before he became Pope. That rings hollow, however, when one considers his position prior to becoming Pope, for the former Cardinal Robert Prevost was, in fact, Prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops. Having been in that position since January 2023, Cardinal Prevost was one of the churchmen best placed to evaluate the suitability or otherwise of our bishops.

According to the local Catholic grape-vine, Bishop Mackinlay had been earmarked for the Archdiocese of Brisbane for some time. This means that his name was already pencilled in for the position while Cardinal Prevost was still at the Dicastery for Bishops.

According to the local Catholic grape-vine, Bishop Mackinlay had been earmarked for the Archdiocese of Brisbane for some time. This means that his name was already pencilled in for the position while Cardinal Prevost was still at the Dicastery for Bishops. Thus there is little doubt that, due to his former position, Pope Leo is well aware that Bishop Mackinlay is in favour of ordained women deacons as well as Fiducia Supplicans, which the latter believes to be a “significant step forward.”

Bishop Mackinlay is also known internationally for his adherence to the Bergoglian theme of synodality and, just months ago, he released what can only be called a propaganda video extolling the virtues of this Modernist innovation. Note that in the video, pro-life activists are portrayed as antagonists who fail to ‘dialogue’ while, perhaps unsurprisingly, those of other faiths are portrayed as being respectful and therefore able to ‘enrich’ Catholics.

The inappropriateness of Bishop Mackinlay’s new appointment has not been lost on many in the Church. Bishop Strickland criticised the move on social media, drawing attention to Bishop Mackinlay’s stance on female deacons. Bishop Strickland stated that the appointment “raises serious pastoral and doctrinal questions”, saying that “appointing a bishop who holds such views to shepherd a major archdiocese is a source of scandal and division. The faithful deserve clarity, not ambiguity; fidelity, not experimentation.”

Yet, in one sense, the appointment of Archbishop-elect Shane Mackinlay could be seen as being entirely appropriate, as his future Archdiocese is even more notorious than his current one. The Archdiocese of Brisbane has been led by Mark Coleridge since 2012 and he is a man who is possibly even more dedicated to squashing tradition and promoting heterodoxy than is Bishop Mackinlay.

Drawing together all these threads, one can only wonder what criteria is being used by the Dicastery for Bishops when selecting our prelates. For it would be no surprise to learn that those with more than a passing interest in the occult are deliberately being sent to dioceses with a history of tolerating and even promoting New Age practices.

While Bishop Mackinlay has allowed Latin Masses to continue in the Sandhurst Diocese – albeit with caveats – since the introduction of Traditiones Custodes, Archbishop Coleridge has been far less understanding. In 2023, he banished the well-attended Latin Masses offered by the Brisbane Oratory to the nearby parish hall. The Masses had formerly been held in a stunning heritage church which had been sympathetically renovated.

It was Archbishop Coleridge who, during the COVID hysteria, enforced government mandates to an extreme degree – even threatening his priests with removal of faculties if they did not comply with vaccination mandates. Prior to that, Archbishop Coleridge allowed a sacrilegious and indecent performance in one of his churches and possibly enlisted Cardinal Blase Cupich to cover up for him over sex abuse allegations. It was also on Coleridge’s watch as President of the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference that Freemasons were given permission to remain Catholics in good standing.

Archbishop Coleridge pictured with Fr. Marko Rupnik.

The Archdiocese of Brisbane has a history of heterodoxy and scandal, going all the way back to the 1980’s with then-Bishop Cuskelly and Archbishop Rush. Those two clerics, along with a bevy of priests, introduced into the Archdiocese of Brisbane revolutionary ideas such as a democratised Church and the potential for ordination of women. The wider acceptance of sodomy among Catholics can be traced back to this era.

After that came Archbishop Bathersby who infamously allowed a host of New Age practices to flourish within the Brisbane Archdiocese during the 1990’s. That included everything from nuns worshipping Gaia to alchemists lecturing seminarians.

There could only be one goal in such a grim scenario: that of further entrenching anti-Christianity in areas which are catechetical wastelands. Let us hope and pray for God to draw good from these disastrous appointments.

One highlight (or lowlight) during these decades, with particular relevance to Bishop Mackinlay, was a notorious shrine that appeared in Brisbane’s St. Stephen’s Cathedral. The shrine, entitled, The Human Search for God, was an anti-Christic collection of indigenous totems, fertility symbols and motifs related to pagan spirits and tribal ancestor worship. Some Catholics even discerned references to the magick rituals of Aleister Crowley in the designs.  Outrageously, the collection was in place for seven years.

Although the exhibition has now been removed, other disturbing artworks remain at St. Stephen’s including a bizarre crucifix over the main altar.

Who was Cardinal Bernadin?

Joseph Bernadin is remembered among traditionalists as one of the most notorious members of the American hierarchy, whose evil legacy is still being felt in the Catholic Church. This brief overview aims to explain why knowing the truth about Bernadin is particularly relevant to our times.

Background

Born in 1928, Joseph Bernadin was, according to the Chicago Tribune, the “son of an immigrant stonecutter.” He grew up in Charleston, South Carolina, which perhaps not coincidentally, was home of the Palladian Rite created by renowned Freemason, Albert Pike.

Ordained in the early 1950’s, Bernadin quickly rose through the ranks and was made a Monsignor by Pope John XXIII in 1959, at the age of only 31. He was Archbishop of Cinncinati from 1972 to 1982, then Archbishop of Chicago until his death in 1996. In 1983, Bernadin was raised to the Cardinalate by John Paul II.

As President of the USCCB, he exerted an enormous influence on the Church in the United States: during the 1970’s Bernadin promoted Communion in the hand, altar girls and toleration for homosexuals in the Church. He was a hero to the young Barack Obama and was viewed by the Church in the US as the progressive leader of a faction opposed to the relatively conservative “John Paul II Bishops.”

Charleston

Bernadin served as a priest in Charleston for fourteen years. The Charleston Diocese at this time was a hotbed of scandal due to the prevalence of homosexual clergy. Many of those were later charged with sexual abuse, including a former roommate of Bernardin, Monsignor Frederick Hopwood. In 1993, after Hopwood was accused of sexually abusing over 100 boys, then-Cardinal Bernadin acted to have the records of the case sealed and arranged for an out-of-court settlement for the victims.

Writer Richard Sipe documented evidence of Bernadin’s own penchant for young seminarians while the latter was Assistant Chancellor for the Diocese of Charleston.This included testimonies from priests who “partied” with Bernadin and the seminarians as well as at least one seminarian who said he had been “forced into a sexual relationship with Bernadin and other American prelates.”

Bernadin himself was officially charged with several counts of abuse. Although he denied the claims, one victim, who later died of AIDS, was compensated by the Chicago Archdiocese by around USD $3 million.

The “Boys Club”

Things were even more scandalous when Bernadin became Archbishop of Chicago. During his tenure there, Bernadin was implicated in a homosexual network known as the “Boys Club”. This group became known, not only for their homosexual activity but also for their involvement in occult rituals and sexual abuse of impoverished young boys.

A whistleblower who wanted to leave the group was murdered in 1984. Although the victim was apparently unknown to Cardinal Bernadin, the latter arrived unnannounced on the scene soon after the brutal murder to question police; the crime remains unsolved.

In 2014, it was revealed that Bernadin and another Cardinal, John Cody, had covered up thousands of abuse cases in the Archdiocese of Chicago during the 1990’s. They routinely moved abuser-priests from parish to parish, allowing them to maintain access to children.

Pectoral Cross

Bernadin is known to have worn the occult-inspired pectoral cross for which Bergoglio was infamous. Cardinal Fernandez has also been pictured wearing this cross.

[Note: Photographs of Cardinals Martini and Prevost (now Pope Leo XIV) wearing the same cross have circulated on social media but at the time of publication I wasn’t able to find these. I’ll update the article if I come across them again.]

The cross is thought to be representative of a Masonic gesture: the folding of arms across the chest.

Although the Masonic Encyclopedia claims that Christian icons of the Good Shepherd often have crossed arms, this seems not to be the case.

Rather, it is a gesture beloved of Rosicrucians: “The Good Shepherd Sign in Rosicrucian Knight´s masonic chapters consists of crossing arms over the chest, stretching hands with joined fingers and palms on the nipples, and opening eyes to heaven while bowing. This represents reason and immortality. This position can be reflected through the skull and crossed bones.

Seamless Garment & Common Ground

Cardinal Bernadin coined the phrase ‘seamless garment’ in the 1970’s and this ideology has been adopted by the Church at the highest levels since that time. The ‘seamless garment’ philosophy is that Catholics must hold a ‘consistent life ethic’ meaning that they must oppose war, poverty, inequality, environmental decline and a host of other problems as passionately as they oppose abortion.

Pope Francis famously promoted this ideology when, along with his condemnations of abortion, he also condemned the death penalty.

Not long before his death, Bernadin founded the Catholic Common Ground Initiative, a project dedicated to ‘Reconciliation and Peacemaking’, interreligious dialogue and the ‘consistent life ethic’. Bernadin’s Common Ground project, with its focus on dialogue and ecumenism, can be seen as a forerunner of Pope Francis’ destructive ideology of ‘synodality.’

Ritual Sexual Abuse

Like many of the worst of our 20th and 21st century abusers. Bernadin was also said to have been involved in sexual abuse rituals. The most famous case is that of the woman known by the pseudonym, ‘Agnes’.

In the 1990’s, ‘Agnes’ came forward with allegations that she had been raped by Cardinal Berndadin when she was 11 years old. Agnes repeated the claims to investigators and Church officials, as well as in a sworn deposition and affidavits.

According to Agnes, the rape was part of a satanic ritual which was attended by both Bernadin and Bishop Russell of Charleston. Agnes’ father was in attendance and he presented her to be abused along with her pet dog. This incident famously formed the basis for the depraved Black Mass scene in the Malachi Martin’s novel, Windswept House.

Bernadin received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from Bill Clinton in 1996

Death of Bernadin

Perhaps the most significant proof of Bernadin’s loyalties came at his funeral: the Windy City Gay Men’s Chorus sang at his wake in the Cathedral at his request. According to reports, “The chorus’s director said that they regarded the invitation as a sign of approval by the Church, and accepted enthusiastically.”

Not only that, Freemasons wearing their full regalia acted as guard s of honour, standing by Bernadin’s coffin. Bernardin was posthumously awarded the Fraternal Order of Masons’ Masonic Order of Galilei Award, which he had agreed to accept prior to his death.

A Disturbing Tribute

A concerning connection took place more recently, as Bernadin and his approach to ethics were lauded by then-Cardinal Prevost in 2023. Prervost gave an address given at the Catholic University of Santo Toribio de Mogrovejo, saying, “..a catholic cannot claim to be pro-life just to take a stance against abortion while at the same time saying they are in favour of the death penalty.”

This is merely further proof that Bernadin’s influence has not diminished over time and that his views remain highly regarded by Progressives both inside and outside the Church.
