A Modernist in Trad Clothing

Beware of false prophets, who come to you in the clothing of sheep, but inwardly they are ravening wolves – Matthew 7:15.

Some may think that the election of yet another unworthy Cardinal to the Papacy causes perverse delight for writers who routinely expose wrongdoing in the Church. Nothing could be further from the truth! It is actually a source of pain to be counted among the minority who disregards popular opinion in order to defend the rights of God.

It was Christ Himself who warned us to be on the watch for dangerous men who like to appear as one thing, while having intentions that are altogether different. Our Lord even specifically warned that such men will dress the part in order to lead His unsuspecting sheep astray.

This profile of a ravenous wolf perfectly fits the latest Pontiff, Leo XIV, who has chosen to adopt the outward persona of a traditionalist, all the way from his heavily embroidered pallium down to his relic-embedded pectoral cross.

He is gaining favour with Trads, as stories of him offering private Latin Masses are doing the rounds of social media. Those posts are often accompanied by a photograph, shown below, of then-Cardinal Prevost wearing traditional vestments. However, the liturgical event was not a traditional Mass; rather Prevost was simply incensing an image of Our Lady, possibly the miraculous icon at Gennazzo.  [We know it wasn’t a Mass because the altar is covered, and there are no altar cards, vessels or missal.]

Prevost NOT offering a TLM.

So what is underneath the lovely vestments and fluent Latin that should have us so concerned? It is that Prevost is a Modernist, through and through, and that he a stated goal of picking up where Francis left off, steering the Barque of Peter firmly along a course of Synodality.

The Catholic Esquire has done a great job of explaining succinctly the programme of this papacy and how it is in perfect continuity with that of Francis – and of the entire Revolution. [His short (17min) video can be found here.]

In short, Synodality is the name of the game: decentralising the Church in an attempt to obliterate the foundation of Her unchanging doctrinal authority. Now, obviously, this plan can never ultimately succeed, as Christ is that foundation, but the Synodalists have and will continue to inflict great damage on the Church in their attempt.

We should expect to see national bishops’ conferences implementing their own local brand of Catholicism whilst tolerating all manner of error. We can also expect some tinkering with the Novus Ordo liturgy, as Synodalists move along in their efforts to further delegitimise, and one day completely invalidate that form.

The persecution of Traditional Catholics could perhaps appear to soften, but in no way should a return to the widespread traditional practice of the Faith be expected. Should Traditiones Custodes be revoked, then Traditional Catholics must not let down their guard. If a convincing wolf is in charge, then we must not stand near him saying “what big teeth you have!”

As explained in my last article, we also should not expect to see a cleansing of sodomites from the ranks of the hierarchy under this pontificate. The moral chaos and errors are very likely to increase, rather than diminish. And that means an increase of moral chaos in the wider society as well.

What about Ecclesiastical Freemasonry? Will Pope Leo denounce Masonry in the strongest terms, like his namesake, Leo XIII? That is most unlikely. The best that can be hoped for is the reiteration – on paper, at least – of the Church’s longstanding condemnation as was produced by Tucho Fernandez under Bergoglio in November 2023. That ostensible condemnation was more likely aimed at disempowering the Masonic Old Guard in the Curia, led by then-papabile Cardinal Parolin, than at actually dissuading Catholics from becoming Masons. Francis’ Masonic credentials certainly suggest that this was the case.

Speaking of Masons, an intriguing image was posted on a Masonic Instagram account a few days after the death of Bergoglio. There’s no way of knowing what it meant, but the timing was most interesting. It was accompanied by a snippet of Masonic poetry, without any additional commentary. Note the red cuff on the figure of the Pope, as well as the (Rosicrucian-inspired?) equilateral crosses on his vestments.

From a Masonic Instagram account, posted April 26th, 2025. Pope Francis died April 21st and Leo XIV was elected on May 8th.

As with the election of other Popes since the Council, Freemasons have expressed their congratulations to the newest Pontiff. This was the only example that was easily found, but it is early days yet.

Pope Leo XIV welcomed by the Freemasons of Tanzania

The surest confirmation of Pope Leo’s agenda will be his selection of a new Curia, which won’t happen until after his official installation on May 18th. Some more Masonic well-wishing around that time is to also be expected.

So is there reason for us to be disoriented? Or disillusioned …. depressed? Well, no. All of this has to play out before the time of Our Lady’s Triumph.

Since the majority of Catholics, including a series of Popes, has refused to honour the requests of Our Lady at Fatima and elsewhere, another destructive papacy is simply part of the package.

However, we are not powerless in the face of adversity. In fact, there is much we can do to mitigate the effects of another ‘worm-ridden’ papacy. The following Rules of Engagement with the revolutionary forces – both natural and supernatural – may be of assistance:

  • A renewed commitment to daily prayer, especially the Holy Rosary
  • A commitment to a small form of daily penance for Pope Leo XIV, that God will work much good through his pontificate (and even a conversion can’t be ruled out)
  • A commitment to limiting online criticism to the actions of the new pope, while being careful not to demean his office
  • Similarly, great care should be taken always to distinguish between the human element of the Church and Her Divine origin. {For example, as clearly stated by Pope Gregory XVI in Mirari Vos: “To use the words of the fathers of Trent, it is certain that the Church “was instructed by Jesus Christ and His Apostles and that all truth was daily taught it by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.” Therefore, it is obviously absurd and injurious to propose a certain “restoration and regeneration” for her as though necessary for her safety and growth, as if she could be considered subject to defect or obscuration or other misfortune.“]
  • Asking heaven for the grace to remain on the Ark; to stay within His Church, no matter how bad things get.

PS. It is well-known that Hollywood and the celeb-world are in cahoots with the revolution everywhere – including within the Church.

Does anyone else think this costume worn by Whoopi Goldberg at the recent Met Gala refers to an ecclesiastical wolf in sheep”s clothing? The furry-looking overcoat seems to peel away, revealing a sombre, even militaristic suit beneath. The bottom of the suit is even more surprising, as it is buttoned all the way down, just like a cassock.

To top it off, the brooch on her lapel is in the shape of a key-hole. Food for thought….

A “hypothetical” papal resignation

Is good old Rome Reports providing some predictive programming?

Protocols surrounding papal resignations have been around since the time of John Paul II, and Pope Bergoglio has made no secret of the possibility that he could resign at some stage. Liberal Catholic media outlets love to throw the cat among the pigeons (usually on slow new weeks) by suggesting that such a resignation is imminent.

The eighty canon lawyers who have gotten together to discuss what a resignation protocol would look like, “theoretically” of course, might be enjoying their all-expense-paid confab, but it does raise the question how it was possible for Pope Benedict to do it all on his own. His resignation was not without controversy, but it was above board and not an eighty-lawyer-job.

Why on earth should anyone want to discuss resignations when it is obvious that an elderly and unwell Pope will not live forever? What DOES Francis have up his sleeve? Is he about to introduce fixed terms for the papacy, as with our political leaders? Is this another step closer to the One World Masonic Humanist religion?

Or is this just another distraction from the main event, like the “restructuring” or the Curia and “cleaning up” of the Vatican finances? Red herrings both, if you ask me.

Stay tuned for more apostasy. When whatever is about to happen happens, there will be no going back.

Marquis de la Franquerie on Synarchy: Part 1

taken from Pontifical Infallibility, the Syllabus, the Condemnation of Modernism and the Current Crisis of the Church

CHAPTER IV – THE PLOT OF THE COUNTER-CHURCH

“We will penetrate to the very heart of this Pontifical Court from which nothing in the world will be able to chase us, until we have destroyed the power of the Pope. ”

17th Session of the Zionist Congress in Basel, 1897

Thus, God had given to the world – in addition to His grace, which never fails – the light enabling it to ensure its salvation. Under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, successively Pius VI, in his Allocution on the Martyrdom of Louis XVI; Gregory XVI, in all his teachings; Pius IX, in the Encyclical, Quanta Cura, followed by the first Syllabus; Leo XIII, in his admirable Encyclicals and in particular in Humanum Genus; Saint Pius X, in the Encyclical Pascendi, followed by the second Syllabus and in the Condemnation of “Sillon”; Pius XI, in his Encyclicals Divini Redemptoris on the inherently perverse communism and in Mit Brennender Sorge on Nazism; Pius XII, of holy memory, in the Encyclical Humani Generis and in its luminous Instructions of 31 May and 2 November 1954 to all the bishops of the world, had shown the peril and indicated the remedies.

Confirming the Pontifical Teachings, eminent prelates, such as Our Lords Delassus, Meurin and Jouin, of courageous and lucid historians like Léon de Poncins, Pierre Virion and Maurice Pinay, have proved the reality of the Luciferian Plan of domination of the Counter-Church over the world, that, for their part, the henchmen of Satan – because they considered themselves already as victorious – no longer feared to reveal little by little in their declarations and their writings1 – such as Stanislas de Guaïta, the ex-abbot Roca, Saint-Yves d’Alveydre, etc … and the Synarchy. All of this is confirmed by the “Protocols of the Sages of Zion ”, stolen at the end of the last century.2

Because we did not want to follow the Pontifical Teachings or believe the theologians and historians who denounced danger, the Church is currently going through the most serious crisis in its history.

To understand the causes, it is necessary to recall the plan of the Luciferian Occult Power and the Instructions and secrets of the Sects that fell into the hands of the Holy See and that Pius IX had published by Crétineau-Joly.3

Already, in the 18th Century, the chief of the Illuminati, the Jew Weishaup writes:

“Freemasons must exercise empire over men of all states, of all nations, of all religions, to dominate them without any external constraint, to keep them united by lasting bonds, to inspire them all with the same spirit, breathe the same spirit everywhere, in the greatest silence and with all possible activity, direct all men on earth for the same purpose. It is in the privacy of Secret Societies that you must know how to influence opinion.4

Maurice Talmeyr, in his pamphlet How we Form Opinion, describes the maneuver and its terrible effectiveness: 

“When men are ostensibly from a sect or from a school, when they recognize themselves to be one, “opinion” is warned against their esprit de corps, it is on guard. But men whom nothing shows are united between them, who do not themselves know if they are, but who think and judge the same about everything, these men achieve precisely what it is a question of achieving, that is, a consensus. An artificial consensus, a manufactured consensus, but which seems spontaneous and which impresses strongly.”

Weishaupt gives the slogan: make Christians believe that it is Our Lord Jesus Christ who was the great inventor of the Masonic trinomial: Freedom, Equality, Fraternity – that it was the very doctrine taught by Him, understood of course in the sense of the Sects.

“Our Doctrine,” he said, “is that divine doctrine as Jesus Christ taught His disciples, that which He gave them but developed the true meaning in his secret speeches5 … He taught all mankind how to come to the delivery … No one has opened up to freedom such sure paths as our Great Jesus of Nazareth … “

From Florence, on August 5, 1806, Simonini exposed to Abbé Barruel the Plan of the Occult Power, which one of his high dignitaries entrusted to him; the Abbot immediately communicated it to Pope Pius VII, who replied that he believed in its authenticity. Let us quote some main passages:

“ #4  That in our Italy alone, they had as supporters more than eight hundred ecclesiastics, both secular and regular, among whom many parish priests, public professors, prelates, a few bishops and a few cardinals, whom they did not did not despair of soon having a pope from their party;

“ #5  That similarly in Spain, they had a large number of partisans even among the clergy …

” #6 That the Bourbon Family was the greatest enemy, that in a few years they hoped to annihilate it …”

Shortly afterwards, the Heads of Haute-Vente (This appears to refer to the Alta Vendita) were to resume the fight with the same methods by inculcating in Christians that “Christianism is an essentially democratic doctrine” and by seducing them by equalitarianism and humanitarianism. A standing secret instruction, dated 1819, states:

“There is a thought that has always preoccupied men who aspire to universal regeneration: it is thought of the liberation (?) of Italy, from which must leave, on a determined day, the liberation (?) of the entire world: the fraternal republic and the harmony of humanity. But there is an obstacle, it is the Church, and this obstacle is formidable.”

Our final goal is that of Voltaire and that of the French Revolution, the annihilation of everything from Catholicism and even from the Christian idea…”

Then, the directives are given: to speak “without end on the dangers of fanaticism, on the happiness of social equality and on the great principles of religious freedom, against intolerance and persecution” and they conclude: “The law of social progress is here and all here; don’t bother to look elsewhere … “

And even :

What we must ask above all, what we must seek and expect, as the Jews await the Messiah, is a Pope according to our needs…and with this, to break the rock on which God built His Church, we have the little finger of the successor of Peter engaged in the plot, and this little finger is valid for this crusade all Urban IIs and all Saint Bernard of Christendom ”.

“We have no doubts about reaching this supreme end of our efforts, but how? The unknown does not emerge Again. Nevertheless, as nothing should differ us from the tracked plan, on the contrary, everything must tend toward it…, we want to give the Supreme Selling agents some advice … “

These tips are truly Luciferian:

“Crush the enemy whoever he may be; crush the powerful by means of lies and calumnies; but especially crush him in the egg. It is to the youth we must go, it is that which we must seduce; it is that which we must bring under the banner of the secret societies. In order to advance by steps, calculated but sure, in that perilous way, two things are of the first necessity. You ought have the air of being simple as doves, but you must be prudent as the serpent. Your fathers, your children, your wives themselves, ought always be ignorant of the secret which you carry in your bosoms. If it pleases you, in order the better to deceive the inquisitorial eye, to go often to confession, you are, as by right authorised, to preserve the most absolute silence regarding these things. You know that the least revelation, that the slightest indication escaped from you in the tribunal of penance, or elsewhere, can bring on great calamities, and that the sentence of death is already pronounced upon the revealer, whether voluntary or involuntary.

“Now then, in order to secure to us a Pope in the manner required, it is necessary to fashion for that Pope a generation worthy of the reign of which we dream. Leave on one side old age and middle life, go to the youth, and, if possible, even to infancy. Never speak in their presence a word of impiety or impurity, Maxima debetur puero reverentia. Never forget these words of the poet for they will preserve you from licences which it is absolutely essential to guard against for the good of the cause. In order to reap profit at the home of each family, in order to give yourself the right of asylum at the domestic hearth, you ought to present yourself with all the appearance of a man grave and moral. Once your reputation is established in the colleges, in the gymnasiums, in the universities, and in the seminaries-once that you shall have captivated the confidence of professors and students, so act that those who are principally engaged in the ecclesiastical state should love to seek your conversation…..

“That reputation will open the way for our doctrines to pass to the bosoms of the young clergy, and go even to the depths of convents. In a few years the young clergy will have, by the force of events, invaded all the functions. They will govern, administer, and judge. They will form the council of the Sovereign. They will be called upon to choose the Pontiff who will reign; and that Pontiff, like the greater part of his contemporaries, will be necessarily imbued with the Italian and humanitarian principles which we are about to put in circulation. It is a little grain of mustard which we place in the earth, but the sun of justice will develop it even to be a great power; and you will see one day what a rich harvest that little seed will produce …

“Seek out the Pope of whom we give the portrait. You wish to establish the reign of the elect upon the throne of the prostitute of Babylon? Let the clergy march under your banner in the belief always that they march under the banner of the Apostolic Keys. You wish to cause the last vestige of tyranny and of oppression to disappear? Lay your nets like Simon Barjona. Lay them in the depths of sacristies, seminaries, and convents, rather than in the depths of the sea, and if you will precipitate nothing you will give yourself a draught of fishes more miraculous than his. The fisher of fishes will become a fisher of men. You will bring your-selves as friends around the Apostolic Chair. You will have fished up a Revolution in Tiara and Cope, marching with Cross and banner-a Revolution which it will need but to be spurred on a little to put the four quarters of the world on fire.”
