To Hell With The FIRST COMMANDMENT! The Pachamama Church Prepares For Leo XIV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 I have been holding off on posting this article, but not only this article, there are many others, pointing to idolatry -- in this case, earth worship -- and the explicit violation of the FIRST COMMANDMENT.

But it is time to "face the music," then get on with what practicing Catholics must conclude about just who -- or what? -- is occupying the Chair of St. Peter!

The Church teaches that we must all be submissive to the Roman Pontiff, and I agree, but there comes a time for critical thinking and the use of God-given common sense that tells us that something is very amiss about the person holding that office.

The word scandal doesn't do justice to what practicing Catholics are faced with: massive scandal that seems to emanate from the Vatican, almost on a daily basis, in the person of Prevost -- and his regime (known to the world as Leo).

What can we do???

Resist and pray for the conversion of Prevost and his cabal of non-believing, anti-Christ office holders?

Is that really enough to sooth our rightly formed consciences??

I don't know, you tell me...

I, and others contend, that what we are experiencing is far worse than the Arian heresy, and the sacrifice of the great Saint Athanasius "against the world," and being "excommunicated" numerous times by the heretics!  Which, by the way, meant nothing, just in the same way as we are seeing those sanctions being used today!

Again, isn't that what we see happening to those who hold to Sacred Tradition and the perennial teachings of the true Catholic Church: being laicized, declared in schism, and excommunicated?

The world of the Catholic religion is being turned upside-down: evil is good, and good becomes evil!

Dogma is out, and the modernist revolution is now the norm for these false shepherds hell-bent on destroying the Church from within, not to mention attacks from without, e.g., church burnings and other forms of vandalism, an almost endless list of blasphemies and sacrileges, including the placement of the Holy Eucharist by un-consecrated hands into the unconsecrated hands of those receiving the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Our Blessed Lord... 

This is part of the new "religion," built not on the Faith of our Fathers, but on man, "dignity," earth worship, etc., all devoid of the Holy Ghost and Sanctifying Grace!

I repeat: What can we do???

Resist and pray for the conversion of Prevost and his cabal of non-believing, anti-Christ office holders?

Is that really enough to sooth our rightly formed consciences??

I don't know, you tell me...

And through all of this, it is the SSPX that has been declared "excommunicated and in "schism"!!

Can you believe it?????

I strongly suggest you all read the article on Hiraeth In Exile | Chris Jackson | Substack and click on The Pachamama Church Prepares for Leo XIV...

If that doesn't make you sick -- and righteously angry, then something is very wrong...

We must all pray for the defeat of these modernist monsters -- and for their conversion to the Catholic Faith.

Remember, we can never offer incense to Caesar -- the Martyrs didn't, and neither can we!!

Viva Cristo Rey!  Bl. Fr. Miguel Pro, Fr. Emil Kapaun and Fr. Vincent Capodanno, pray for us...

St. Michael defend us in the coming battle!!

St. Joseph, pray and strengthen us!!

Remarkable Story Of A Martyred Seminarian Who Evangelized His Muslim Kidnappers!

 Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah of Nigeria recalls how seminarian Michael Nnadi was martyred after boldly preaching repentance and the Gospel to his Muslim kidnappers.

From lifesitenews.com and written by Patrick Delaney Fri Aug 21, 2026 - 4:02 pm EDT: Remarkable story of a martyred seminarian who evangelized his Muslim kidnappers - LifeSite

"(LifeSiteNews) — In a wide-ranging August 10 interview with Catholic World Report (CWR), Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah of Sokoto, Nigeria, reflected on the vibrant faith of African Catholics even as he warned that the continent is not immune to the secular forces that hollowed out the Church in Europe.

Amid discussions of the Church’s enormous growth in Africa, the looming influence of materialism and ongoing insecurity for the faithful in his nation, the bishop returned to a personal story that illustrated how the strength of the Church is paradoxically forged in persecution: the martyrdom of an 18-year-old seminarian who boldly evangelized his Muslim kidnappers and, for this reason, was murdered.

“I have lost a seminarian, a young 18-year-old man who was kidnapped, along with three of his mates,” Bishop Kukah recounted. “After negotiations and payment of ransom, his three colleagues were freed, while he was murdered. As God would have it, the kidnappers were caught one year later, and they confessed that they killed him because, despite their guns and knowing they were Muslims, he insisted that they must repent of their crimes and return to God!”

That young man was Michael Ikechukwu Nnadi, a first-year philosophy student at Good Shepherd Major Seminary in Kakau, Kaduna State, Nigeria.

On the night of January 8, 2020, around 10:30 p.m., armed men in military camouflage breached the seminary fence, fired shots, stole phones and laptops, and abducted Nnadi along with three classmates — Pius Kanwai, 19; Peter Umenukor, 23; and Stephen Amos, 23. The other three were eventually released after ransom negotiations, though Nnadi was not.

Bishop Kukah, whose diocese Nnadi belonged to, announced the death on February 1, 2020, after the seminary rector identified the body.

“With a very heavy heart, I wish to inform you that our dear son, Michael was murdered by the bandits on a date we cannot confirm,” the bishop said at the time. “He and the wife of a doctor were arbitrarily separated from the group and killed.”

According to Kukah in a later interview, the doctor’s wife, Bolanle Ataga, was killed by the “leader of the gang because she refused to be raped by him.”

‘Who are we to mourn? Who are we to refuse this crown of honor and glory?’

Nnadi was buried on February 11, 2020, at the seminary after a funeral Mass celebrated by Bishop Kukah. In his homily, the bishop transformed grief into a proclamation of victory. He shared how Aid to the Church in Need had mobilized a global response.

“(The Aid to the Church in Need) sent me a message to say that when they asked people around the world to light a candle for Michael on the date of his burial, 2,436 persons from Afghanistan, Pakistan, United States of America, Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia, Madagascar, South Africa, Congo, Mali, France, Spain, Turkey, Saudi Arabia responded,” he said.

“In the light of this, I wondered, who are we to mourn? Who are we to refuse this crown of honor and glory? We ceased to mourn for Michael thereon,” he said, adding he had decided to recognize the martyrdom as a great honor and victory for the Christian community.

“For us Christians, it would seem safe to say that we are all marked men and women today. Yet, we must be ready to be washed in the blood of the lamb,” the bishop continued at the time.

“We feel as if our son has been chosen to represent us in the national team of martyrs. Without fear, we will complete the journey he started because his memory will give us strength,” the bishop encouraged.

“We know that Michael’s strength will inspire an army of young people to follow in his steps. We will march on with the cross of Christ entrusted to us, not in agony or pain, because our salvation lies in your cross. We have no vengeance or bitterness in our hearts. We have no drop of sorrow inside us. We are honored that our son has been summoned to receive the crown of martyrdom at the infancy of his journey to the priesthood,” he added.

“May the Lord place him beside His bosom and may he intercede for us. If his blood can bring healing to our nation, then his murderers will never have the final say. May God give him eternal peace,” Bishop Kukah concluded.

Michael Nnadi’s legacy endures

In late April 2020, police arrested members of the gang with the captors admitting they killed Nnadi precisely because he persistently preached repentance and the Gospel to them, even knowing their identity as Muslims. Bishop Kukah later described the young man as having “the courage of a martyr.”

In honor of the young martyr, the bishop’s house in Sokoto was renamed Michael Nnadi House, and the bishops of the Kaduna ecclesiastical province approved a shrine in his honor at Good Shepherd Seminary, where his grave stands near the entrance as a silent witness. Bishop Kukah has expressed hope that the Church will one day formally recognize Nnadi as a martyr.

In this month’s CWR interview, the bishop returned to this story as living proof of his stated conviction that “the history of our Church is a history of innocent blood and martyrdom … We cannot fear them because our faith is built on the blood of martyrs.”'

End of inspiring article...

Pray for -- and to -- Michael Nnadi!  May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen...

Pray too for the defeat of these jihadist monsters -- and for their conversion to the Catholic Faith!

Viva Cristo Rey!  Bl. Fr. Miguel Pro, Fr. Emil Kapaun, and Fr. Vincent Capodanno, pray for us...

Bishop Mutsaerts: ‘Missing Words’ In Synod On Synodality Are ‘Repentance And Conversion’!!

 Really?

No kidding?

A truth from a bishop?

When will this bishop be declared an enemy of Prevost; an enemy of synodality, and be excommunicated and/or be declared in schism?

From lifesitenews.com and written by Patrick Delaney Mon Aug 24, 2026 - 7:21 pm EDT: Bishop Mutsaerts: ‘Missing words’ in Synod on Synodality are ‘repentance and conversion’ - LifeSite

"(LifeSiteNews) — In an exclusive interview with Advaticanum published on Saturday, Auxiliary Bishop Rob Mutsaerts of the Diocese of ’s-Hertogenbosch (Den Bosch) in the Netherlands offered a candid assessment of the Synod on Synodality.

Drawing on his recent open letter to Pope Leo XIV, the Dutch prelate insisted that the Church’s ultimate measure of any process must be the salvation of souls, not institutional procedures or feelings of inclusion.

Bishop Mutsaerts, who has served as auxiliary bishop since 2010 and is known for his outspoken defense of traditional Catholic teaching, grounded his critique in the final canon of the Code of Canon Law.

“The final canon of the Code of Canon Law ends with the famous principle that ‘the salvation of souls … must always be the supreme law in the Church,’” he recalled.

If one evaluates the synodal process, the decisive question is not whether consultations were extensive, people felt heard, committees functioned well, or documents were produced. The question is: has all this made it more likely that men and women will believe in Jesus Christ, repent, receive the sacraments, persevere in grace, and attain eternal life? On that criterion, there are serious grounds for criticism.

This principle shaped the open letter Bishop Mutsaerts published on August 13. In it, he asked whether years of listening sessions, continental assemblies, and synodal documents had produced stronger faith, clearer proclamation of Christ, deeper Catholic identity, more conversions, higher Sunday Mass attendance, increased priestly vocations, or greater reverence for the Eucharist. When measured against these fruits, he concluded, the Synod could not be judged a success.

‘Christ did not found a discussion group. He called apostles. He gave them authority.’

For the bishop appointed by Pope Benedict XVI, the problem is not consultation itself, but an inversion of means and ends.

“‘Walking together’ is valuable only if the Church knows where she is walking,” he explained. “The destination is not increased participation but Christ; not ecclesiastical dialogue but holiness; not inclusion as an abstract principle but incorporation into Christ and, ultimately, eternal salvation.”

Consultation and synodal methods have their place, the bishop acknowledged, yet “once the means start occupying more attention than the end, something has become inverted.”

Bishop Mutsaerts returned repeatedly to a foundational biblical and historical claim. “Christ did not found a discussion group. He called Apostles. He gave them authority.”

The Catholic faith, he affirmed, does not arise from first taking an inventory of what people already believe and then distilling a common conviction from these perspectives, but instead, Divine Revelation is received by the Church, and thus is not invented by man, nor can it be rewritten:

A physician listens carefully to the patient, but listening is not the cure. And the Church possesses something unusual among institutions: she has received a Revelation which she did not invent and cannot rewrite. Consequently, there must always come a moment when listening gives way to proclamation of the Gospel. The missing words in the Synod are repentance and conversion.

And yet the absence of conversion language suggests a lack of conviction from Church leaders with regards to the dramatic fundamentals of what God has revealed, including the realities of sin, forgiveness, death, judgement, heaven and hell.

“A Church concerned with salvation inevitably wants to know whether more people are going to confession. A bureaucracy concerned with process wants to know whether more people participated in the consultation,” he naturally observed.

The Gospel’s first public words from Jesus were not an invitation to share feelings about structures but a command: “Repent and believe in the Good News.” Saints throughout history listened, yet listening was never the endpoint. “The endpoint was conversion to Christ.”

Bishop Mutsaerts applied the simple biblical test given by Jesus Christ the Son of God: “By their fruits you shall know them” (Mt 7:20).  “Apply it without malice and without ideological prejudice,” he urged. “Above all: are people willing to become saints?” That question, he maintained, “is considerably more important than asking whether people experienced the synodal process positively.”'

Nigeria Christian Massacre: Unarmed Watchman Shot, Family Murdered In Mangu LGA!!!

BEWARE!  BEWARE!  BEWARE!

WARNING!  WARNING!  WARNING!

THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE CONTAINS GRAPHIC DESCRIPTIONS OF THE MURDER OF CHRISTIANS!

BEWARE!  BEWARE!  BEWARE!

 When will the Marxist, mainstream media cover these horrific stories?

When will the U.N. (I know that's a bad joke) do something and get off their rear ends to help these Christians?

Another stupid question, I know that too...

From thegatewaypundit.com and written by Antonio Graceffo Aug. 22, 2026 7:00 pm: Nigeria Christian Massacre: Unarmed Watchman Shot, Family Murdered in Mangu LGA * The Gateway Pundit * by Antonio Graceffo

"Fulani herdsmen attacked Bin Per, a remote Christian village in Kumbun District, Mangu LGA, Plateau State, roughly 45 kilometers northeast of Jos, on the night of August 18, 2026. Attackers came on foot, breaking into homes and shooting villagers as they slept. At least 24 people were killed, most of them women and children. The Nigerian Army, when called, did not arrive until after the attackers had already left the area.

Shadrach Ayuba, a village watchman and member of the Cochin Church Binter Regional Church Council in Boi, was on vigilante duty between 11 p.m. and midnight when gunfire broke out. He said he heard the attackers speaking the Fulani language as he tried to flee.

Ayuba had little choice but to flee because the security forces defending Christian villages are armed with either homemade muskets or sticks. Although the Fulani came on foot in this particular attack, they often arrive on motorcycles in numbers as large as 200, armed with AK-47s, leaving village watchmen no match for them.

Currently, there is a bill in the Nigerian National Assembly that would allow state governments to create their own police forces to defend Christian villages. It has passed both the House of Representatives and the Senate and is awaiting ratification by state legislatures. But as of right now, the watchmen are unarmed. The best they can do is observe the attackers and then try to race back to the village to alert others to escape to the jungle and hide.

A bullet struck him in the leg as he ran, but he continued on foot, applying pressure to the wound as he made his way toward a bridge crossing a stream between Binter and Afer village. Hearing footsteps behind him, he hid in a cornfield and then in thick bush before swimming across the river to reach Afer, where residents put him on a motorcycle to a clinic.

During the attack, gunmen entered Ayuba’s house, where his wife and four children were sleeping. His daughter escaped, but his three sons, Pamret, 13; Fwanshak, 9; and Kespan, 1, were killed along with their mother, Nanbam, 30.

Ayuba said he could not get information by phone about his family’s condition from the hospital until the following morning, when he was told that his wife and three sons had been killed. “There was no any security all throughout the attack,” he said.

A second survivor, whose name was not given, said the attack began around 11:30 p.m. while he was off duty from the village’s rotating watchman system and had stepped outside. He saw a large group of armed men approaching, hid on a nearby farm, and heard rapid gunfire moments later as the attackers entered his compound and opened fire inside the room where his family slept.

After the gunfire subsided, he returned to his compound and found his daughter shot through the forehead in her sleeping position and his two sons shot in the back in the living room.

Of the six members of his household, three children were killed. His wife was wounded while shielding two of the children with her body. The survivor said this is what allowed his youngest son, Nathan, and another son, Gabriel, to survive. “If God had not intervened, it might have been all of us, six people, would be killed,” he said.

He and a neighbor who had also been on watchman duty went from house to house afterward, checking on residents. He said most of the dead were found inside their rooms, with one exception found on a nearby farm.

A village pastor, addressing the community the morning after the attack, said, “This morning we are mourning bitterly for the barbaric action that these people have taken on this community over the night.” He said 24 dead bodies lay before the community as he spoke and rejected characterizations of the violence as anything other than genocide: “As I’m speaking, people were denying that there’s no genocide, but see what is happening, see small children, innocent souls were being killed.”

He said the governor, the local government chairman, and ministers of the gospel had all condemned the attack, “yet there’s no any action and the issue is getting out of hand.”'

Why Are Women Defending Lindsay Clancy After She Killed Her Three Children?

 WARNING!  WARNING!  WARNING!

BEWARE!  BEWARE!  BEWARE!

THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE CONTAINS DESCRIPTIONS OF CHILD KILLINGS.  THIS SHOULD MAKE YOU SICK!

BEWARE!  BEWARE!  BEWARE!

From lifesitenews.com and written by Jonathon Van Maren Fri Aug 21, 2026 - 4:58 pm EDT: Why are women defending Lindsay Clancy after she killed her three children? - LifeSite

"(LifeSiteNews) — On January 24, 2023, 32-year-old Lindsay Clancy, a former labor and delivery nurse, sent her husband Patrick to pick up takeout food and go to the pharmacy. Then, she strangled her three young children — five-year-old Cora, three-year-old Dawson, and eight-month-old Callan — with rubber exercise bands, slashed her own wrists and neck, and threw herself out of a second-story window. Patrick returned to find two of his children dead in the basement and his wife bleeding outside. Callan died in the hospital three days later.

Lindsay Clancy was charged with the first-degree murders of her three children, and her trial began last month in Plymouth, Massachusetts. Clancy is now divorced, paralyzed from the waist down due to her suicide attempt — and the subject of an outpouring of support that feels vaguely reminiscent of the cult following surrounding Charles Manson.

Her supporters have donated nearly a million dollars to her via GoFundMe; gathered outside the courthouse; and posted viral videos and social media posts insisting that Clancy, too, is a victim — of the pharmaceutical industry, of a society that callously ignores female struggles, of a medical system that trivializes female mental health.

Nobody denies that Clancy killed her children. The prosecution states that she “acted intentionally, rationally and swiftly” rather than in a moment of postpartum psychosis; she very deliberately planned the murders by researching them ahead of time and ensured her husband was out of the house. The defense insists that the killings were triggered by a lethal combination of psychiatric medications and her postpartum struggles.

Scores of TikTok videos of women sobbing and holding their babies with the phrase “Same, Lindsay” have gone viral; the disturbing implication that many mothers are on the verge of perpetrating similar horrors provoked equally viral responses. These, predictably, range from boorish minimization of postpartum depression to genuine and justified outrage that women are willing to invoke the name of a child-killer in videos featuring their own babies.

Other viral videos feature women shrieking and breaking things to vent their postpartum pain or melting down in other ways. The videos, of course, were very carefully filmed, edited, and posted, negating the idea that they feature uncontrollable psychosis or raw glimpses of involuntary moments. In fact, the critiques of the videos are almost identical to the prosecution’s case against Clancy herself: Both the moments in the videos and the murders (allegedly) are meticulously premediated rather than spontaneous and involuntary. The resulting “debate” has been a vicious doom loop.

These videos might as well be custom-made to serve as fodder in the culture war of attrition between the sexes. Those posting them are demanding from viewers recognition of their pain, affirmation of their experience, understanding of how difficult postpartum depression is. But the very act of creating this content appears to affirm the most misogynist possible responses to the reality of postpartum depression by cynically presenting crisis porn as spectacle and inviting the world to watch.

As Samuel D. James wrote in one of the best columns analyzing the “debate” that is currently roiling the digital world, the internet is making men and women hate each other.

Several things can be true at once. It is true that postpartum depression — and indeed, mental illness in general — is often woefully addressed and badly understood. As I’ve noted many times, that is precisely why legalizing euthanasia for mental illness would be such a social catastrophe. It is also true that women viewing Lindsay Clancy’s decision to destroy her own children as an opportunity to say “Same, Lindsay” is inviting people to view them as clearly unstable and obviously dangerous to their children. Lindsay Clancy killed her babies. What do you mean by “same”?

Commentator Peachy Keenan made a trenchant observation about the Clancy affair. “Why are so many women so angry?” she asked. “They won. They got everything they wanted. Men have never been doing this badly, and women have never been doing this well. They make more, they have the majority of jobs, they are the majority of college graduates … they make more money, have much lower rates of suicide, addiction, and alcoholism, and live longer … they took over all men-only spaces, they took over the Boy Scouts, they ended men’s bathrooms, they can fly fighter planes and be in combat.”

“Marriage is optional, divorce is no-fault, they win 99% of the custody battles, they can control fertility at will, and they can’t get drafted,” she added. “We are all living in the female future they promised.” Indeed. That was Hannah Rosin’s thesis in The End of Men and the Rise of Women, as well. As it turns out, the world we have created since the sexual revolution has been toxic, and the digital world has amplified and turbo-charged the war between the sexes, and it has now reached a fever pitch."'

Read This Article Very, Very Carefully!! Leo XIV Adopts Francis’ Ecological Language In ‘Care Of Creation’ Message!!

 Can you point out to me the difference between Prevost and Bergoglio, if there is one?

Please read the following article very carefully then figure out if you are guilty of some type of ecological "sin" that needs to be "confessed"!

From lifesitenews.com and written by Gaetano Masciullo Fri Aug 21, 2026 - 7:09 am EDT: Leo XIV adopts Francis’ ecological language in ‘Care of Creation’ message - LifeSite

"(LifeSiteNews) — Pope Leo XIV has called the faithful to “an authentic ecological conversion” in his message for the 2026 World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation.

On Thursday, the Holy See Press Office released Leo XIV’s message for the 11th World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation, to be observed on September 1 under the theme, “They shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks,” from Isaiah 2:4.

In his message, dated August 15 and published August 20, the Pope links war, poverty, and “ecological degradation,” arguing that “where hearts are renewed, new possibilities begin to open.” This renewal, according to Leo, is “the path of an authentic ecological conversion” – echoing core “green” agenda themes of the Francis pontificate, particularly those articulated in his 2015 encyclical Laudato Si’.

READ: Venerating relics like St. Agatha’s skull isn’t ‘idolatry.’ Here’s why

“Let us imagine a world in which the energies currently invested in war are directed toward integral human development, to overcoming poverty, protecting human dignity and reconciling divided peoples. Such a vision reflects faith in the coming of God’s Kingdom,” Leo wrote.

The Pope’s message presents war and “social and ecological destruction” as interconnected manifestations of a deeper disorder. “Moreover, the interaction between armed conflicts and environmental degradation often creates a vicious cycle, which destroys ecosystems, contaminates essential resources, such as air and water, and undermines food security. This fuels poverty, inequality, and new social tensions that can contribute to the emergence of further conflicts,” the Pope wrote.

Leo locates the root of these problems within “the human heart.” Referring to Gaudium et spes, he describes “violence, injustice, and ecological degradation” as symptoms of “the deeper dichotomy that is rooted in humanity itself.”

“The wounds of war and the degradation of the earth, then, are profoundly linked to the condition of the human heart.… In order to build a peaceful society, therefore, we must not only reform structures but also renew our hearts. The deep-set causes of conflict and the exploitation of creation stem from an ethical and cultural crisis, including the loss of a sense of limits, the desire for domination, the pursuit of immediate profit, and the inability to recognize the God-given dignity of each human person,” the Pope stated.

According to Traditional Catholic teaching, true peace is not simply the result of political negotiation or social compromise but the fruit of conversion to the Social Kingship of Jesus Christ, that is, to the Catholic faith. “When once men recognize, both in private and in public life, that Christ is King, society will at last receive the great blessings of real liberty, well-ordered discipline, peace and harmony,” Pope Pius XI taught (Quas Primas, n. 19).

In Catholic theology, every human activity – political, economic, or spiritual – finds its meaning only when it acknowledges Christ’s sovereignty over individuals and nations. Without this conversion, all human projects, however noble, remain fragile and ultimately doomed to fail, because they attempt to build peace apart from the Prince of Peace Himself.

Additionally, Traditional social doctrine teaches that disorder within creation is not merely the result of human-driven pollution or capitalist economics, but of the deeper wound of original sin. As St. Paul writes, “the whole creation has been groaning in travail together until now” (Romans 8:22).

Leo XIV’s message explicitly adopts modern ecological terminology strongly associated with the pontificate of Francis, citing Laudato Si’ and describing several “ecosystems” that Christians are called to safeguard: creation, human relationships, and “the human heart itself.”

The World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation was first established in 1989 by Ecumenical Patriarch Dimitrios I of Constantinople, who invited Christians to dedicate September 1 to prayer and reflection on the environment. The initiative also draws on Jewish creation theology, as stated on the official page of the initiative.

Pope Francis extended the observance to the Catholic Church in 2015, framing it within the vision of the encyclical Laudato Si’ and calling believers to “ecological conversion.”'
