Any faithful Catholic must -- must!! -- be aghast at this attempt to form a new "church" that directly contradicts the constant teachings and Tradition of the true Catholic Church!
The errors, heresies, scandal and confusion of the papacy of Bergoglio has never stopped since his installation by the St. Gallen Mafia in 2013...
Any faithful Catholic must absolutely reject this madness, this conspiracy to re-make the novus ordo, synodal "church" in the image and likeness of man, devoid of the Holy Ghost and sanctifying grace, totally ignoring Our Lord and His Commandments to worship Him (and the Blessed Trinity) as the only true God, and Our Lord as the only way to the Father!
Let us see what bishops and priests have the testosterone to resist -- to the face -- this non-Catholic lunacy, fulfill the charism of their office, and pray for the conversion of Bergoglio to the Catholic faith and orthodoxy!

"(LifeSiteNews) – Pope Francis wants the Synod’s final document to be accepted as part of the Magisterium of the Church
This morning Pope Francis released a formal “Note” to accompany his “Final Document of the 16th Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops,” that is, the final document for the Synod on Synodality, which included a significant number of non-bishops.
In his “Note,” the Pope asked that the content of this “Final Document” be accepted as part of his Magisterium, that is, his authoritative teaching as the Successor of Peter, the earthly head of the Christian Church—or, as Pope Francis described himself, the “Bishop of Rome.”
In the Italian original, Pope Francis praised the years of meetings that took place before the Synod, saying that they included “listening to the People of God and the discernment of the Pastors.” He also stated that the Church was “illuminated by the Holy Spirit” during the process.
“Recognizing the value of the synodal journey completed, I now hand over to the whole Church the directions contained in the Final Document, as a return of what has matured over these years, through listening and discernment, and as authoritative guidance for its life and mission,” he added.
“The Final Document participates in the ordinary Magisterium of the Successor of Peter (cf. EC 18 § 1; CCC 892) and as such I ask that it be accepted. It represents a form of exercising the authentic teaching of the Bishop of Rome that has novel features but in fact corresponds to what I had occasion to point out on October 17, 2015, when I stated that synodality is the proper interpretive framework for understanding hierarchical ministry.”
While saying that the document would need “several mediations,” Francis stipulated that “[l]ocal Churches and groupings of Churches are now called upon to implement, in their different contexts, the authoritative instructions contained in the Document, through the processes of discernment and decision-making envisaged by law and by the Document itself.”

Let me ask a question; is there someone reading this article who believes that President Putin of Russia will not use nuclear weapons to defend his country?
Here's another question; is there anyone reading this article who does not believe that this planned operation by the treasonous rats still holding the White House hostage was meant to stifle President Trump from initiating peace deals and tone down the potential for all-out nuclear war?
Please read the following article from breitbart.com and written by Jim Hoft ...
"Joe Biden and his handlers are moving quickly to ignite World War III before Christmas and before President Trump can be inaugurated and bring peace to the region.
LastSunday, Joe Biden’s regime approved Ukraine’s use of US-made long-range missiles to strike deep inside Russia.
The Washington Post reported that Biden will allow Ukraine to use a powerful American long-range weapon for strikes inside Russia, supposedly in response to North Korea’s recent aid to Russia in the form of thousands of troops. Ukraine will be specifically allowed to use the Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) to hit targets inside Russia.
As The Post noted, ATACMS is a supersonic-guided missile system that can be used with either cluster munitions or conventional warheads. It has a maximum range of about 190 miles.
The Post elaborates that Ukraine is expected to focus on and around the Kursk region at first but could expand its targets.
On Tuesday, Ukraine fired six US-made long-range missiles inside Russia. The first Ukrainian strike targeted the border region of Bryansk in Russia.
According to BRICS News – Five missiles were shot down by S-400 & Pantsir AA systems last week, one was damaged, its fragments fell in the technical zone of a military facility, causing a fire, Russian Defense Ministry says.
Putin, following reports of Biden’s decision to give Ukraine permission to “long-range” missiles, approved the updated nuclear doctrine of the Russian Federation. As part of the new doctrine Russia spelled out that aggression against Russia and its allies by a non-nuclear country with the support of a nuclear state will be considered a joint attack.
On Wednesday morning Joe Biden approved antipersonnel land mines for Ukraine – undoing his previous policy.
On Thursday Russia unleashed the Oreshnik hypersonic missile on Ukraine.
Russian leader Putin told reporters after the strike, “No air system can intercept Russia’s new Oreshnik hypersonic ballistic missile.”
And Putin mentioned on Friday that Russia has supplies of the Oreshnik missiles for future strikes.
On Monday news broke that the US discussed giving Ukraine nuclear weapons in recent meetings.
It’s hard to believe you’re the good guys when you are passing out nukes to desperate regimes.
According to the New York Times, US and European officials have discussed a range of options they believe will deter Russia from taking more Ukrainian territory, including providing Kiev with nuclear weapons. The outlet reports that Western officials believe the Kremlin will not significantly escalate the war before Donald Trump is sworn in as President in January.
Following the election of Trump earlier this month, the US and its NATO allies began taking steps to rush weapons to Ukraine and give Kiev the ability to strike targets inside Russian territory with long-range weapons.
American officials who were briefed on the intelligence community’s assessments told the Times that weapons will not alter the challenging situation that Kiev is currently facing. “US spy agencies have assessed that speeding up the provisions of weapons, ammunition and matériel for Ukraine will do little to change the course of the war in the short term,” the Times reports.
Desperate to bolster Ukraine’s standing in the war before the transition of power on January 20, the Biden administration is looking at a range of serious escalations. “US and European officials are discussing deterrence as a possible security guarantee for Ukraine, such as stockpiling a conventional arsenal sufficient to strike a punishing blow if Russia violates a cease-fire.” The article continues, “Several officials even suggested that Mr. Biden could return nuclear weapons to Ukraine that were taken from it after the fall of the Soviet Union.”

Pure MADNESS!!!!!
All emphasis is mine...
Note: the demented Biden and his warmongering handlers are guilty of high treason and other high crimes and misdemeanors, they should all be arrested, tried, convicted and spend the rest of their miserable lives behind bars!

This lunacy is just one more piece of in-your-face evidence of the treason of the new, novus ordo, synodal "church" coming out of apostate Rome and the workers of iniquity occupying the highest offices under the current St. Gallen (Mafia) regime headed by Bergoglio...
While good and faithful priests and bishops get cancelled and "ex-communicated," Communists and perverts are not only accepted as legit, but also get promoted to the highest offices in the Vatican!
How can this be possible?
Simple: those in charge of the un-Catholic hierarchy work for Satan, their master, that's how.
Now comes even more evidence to convince the pope-splainers -- if that's even possible -- that the commies have infiltrated the novus ordo "church" a second time!

Joseph Shen Bin, a "bishop" appointed by the Chinese Communist Party, exhorted the Shanghainese clergy to study and preach CCP ideology, including General Secretary Xi Jinping’s thoughts on the sinicization of religion.
(My emphasis.)
Let that sink very deeply into your hearts and minds...
"(LifeSiteNews) — During a November seminar about the “Sinicization of Religion in Shanghai,” Joseph Shen Bin, a “bishop” controversially appointed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), exhorted the Shanghainese clergy to study and preach CCP ideology, namely, the documents of “the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CCP Central Committee” and “General Secretary Xi Jinping’s thoughts on the Sinicization of religion,” according to a report by news outlet Bitter Winter.
Catholic participants in the aforementioned seminar testified to Bitter Winter that Shen Bin encouraged members of the audience to concentrate on the “sinicization” of the Catholic religion, a process which Bitter Winter highlighted “does not mean adapting religion to Chinese customs but to the CCP’s ideology.”
Moreover, Shen Bin noted the significance of closer collaboration with the United Front Work Department, which oversees “official” religion in Communist China. The same Bitter Winter report added that “Yin Du, Director of the Ethnic and Religious Affairs Department of the Municipal United Front Work Department, and Gu Weidong, Director of the Catholic Affairs Department of the Municipal Ethnic and Religious Affairs Bureau, attended the whole event.”
“Bishop Shen Bin, until now Bishop of Haimen, was installed in the Diocese of Shanghai, China, this morning,” Vatican News reported.
“The Holy See had been informed a few days ago of the decision of the Chinese authorities,” Holy See spokesman Matteo Bruni said.
“I have nothing to say about the Holy See’s assessment of the matter for the time being,” Bruni added.
In other words, it was the CCP and not the Vatican that unilaterally appointed Shen Bin to head Shanghai.
During Shen Bin’s inauguration ceremony, he pledged to “adhere to the principle of independence and self-government” that forms the raison d’etre of China’s pro-CCP Patriotic Catholic Church.
In a statement dated April 4 last year, the Shanghai Diocese revealed that around 200 people were present at Shen Bin’s inauguration ceremony.
“Bishop Shen Bin said that he will continue to carry forward the fine tradition of patriotism and love of the Catholic Church in Shanghai, adhere to the principle of independence and self-government, adhere to the direction of Catholicism in China, and better promote the healthy tradition of Catholic evangelism in Shanghai,” the statement read.
Unsurprisingly, many critics regarded Shen Bin’s installation by the CCP as a violation of a contentious and clandestine Sino-Vatican agreement regarding the appointment of bishops signed in September 2018.
According to the 2018 Sino-Vatican agreement, Rome would acknowledge seven bishops appointed by the CCP, as well as admit the establishment of a new Catholic diocese in Chengde, in the northern province of Hebei. While the Vatican would officially appoint new Chinese bishops these men would nevertheless be chosen by the CCP.
Besides, a new report, authored by Nina Shea for the Hudson Institute, has disclosed details about the clampdown of 10 Catholic bishops in China who have resisted the CCP’s efforts to interfere in religious matters since the 2018 Sino-Vatican deal. This Hudson Institute report narrates the traumatic encounters of Vatican-approved bishops who have experienced “detention without due process, surveillance, police investigations, and banishments from their dioceses for refusal to submit to the Chinese Patriotic Catholic Association (CPCA), a state-managed group controlled by the CCP’s United Front Work Department,” Catholic News Agency (CNA) reported.
“This report shows that religious repression of the Catholic Church in China has intensified since the 2018 China-Vatican agreement on the appointment of bishops,” Shea stated.
“Beijing targeted these 10 bishops after they opposed the Chinese Patriotic Catholic Association, which requires its members to pledge independence from the Holy See,” she elaborated.
Bitter Winter pointed out that in light of several events following the 2018 Sino-Vatican deal, it was evident that the CCP regards the deal as applicable to the Vatican only, which is expected not to decry religious persecution in China. For its part, the CCP can still unilaterally nominate “bishops” as it sees fit."

Did you notice the arrogance and apostasy??
What we are dealing with here are COMMUNISTS! They and their allies in the new, novus ordo synodal "church" are having a field day by weakening and directly contradicting Catholic doctrine and dogma, in favor of the zeitgeist (the un-holy spirit of the age!).
We must pray for the absolute defeat of these mad modernists!
Pray too for strength and honor!

Here is the sub-heading of an article from lifesitenews.com and written by MichaelHichborn
The US bishops’ Catholic Campaign for Human Development has funneled millions of dollars to pro-abortion, pro-LGBT, and Marxist groups – and covered it up – for decades. Even now, the USCCB refuses to inform faithful Catholics of how its funds are being used.
"(The Lepanto Institute) — The Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD), the official “anti-poverty” program of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), formally states on the USCCB website that it “is committed to transparency and continues to publish a list of recent grantees online each year.” Despite this commitment, however, the CCHD has refused to publish its grants list for over two years.
The Lepanto Institute has tried for over a year to contact CCHD officials, requesting publication of all grants lists from 2022 to present, without any response, and this past weekend was the latest national collection for the CCHD. What this means is that – once again – the CCHD reneged on its claimed commitment to transparency and asked Catholics to blindly contribute without knowing where the money is going.
From all outward appearances, the CCHD does nothing but pay lip service to transparency and proper stewardship while deliberately hiding its list of grantees to avoid any scrutiny. Why? Because public criticism of CCHD grantees means fewer donations. Earlier this year, the CCHD’s long-time executive director, Ralph McCloud, suddenly and inexplicably resigned under a cloud of suspicion regarding financial mismanagement.
CCHD assets have fallen from a cash reserve of around $55 million to around $8 million by 2022, and it is believed that by April of this year, the coffers were just about empty. The annual collection has tumbled precipitously since 2016, when the Lepanto Institute began publishing annual reviews of CCHD grants. The collection in 2016 was nearly $20 million, and by 2020 the collection had sunk to about $4 million.
The Lepanto Institute has sustained constant public pressure on the CCHD for nearly 10 years, and through our efforts, we have helped Catholics all over the country see how CCHD funds are being used to promote abortion, contraception, LGBT ideologies, and Marxism. But we aren’t the first to expose the grave funding errors of the CCHD – stalwart and faithful Catholics have been sounding the alarm on CCHD for decades.
One of the earliest criticisms of CHD (as it was called before the word “Catholic” was added to it in 1998) that I could find was a 1982 op-ed published in the El Paso Times. Roman Varoz – a retired Army Lt. Col. and local Catholic parishioner – wrote a scathing rebuke of a CHD-funded organization called EPISO, which was an affiliate of notorious left-wing activist Saul Alinsky’s Industrial Areas Foundation (IAF). Noting that the CHD had given EPISO two grants of $50,000 each, Varoz wrote:
“EPISO is a creation of a few radical clergy and nuns who espouse a ‘new gospel,’ facetiously claim that they are as Marxist as Jesus Christ, and claim that they are committed to a free and open society based on the principles of American democracy. They distort the gospel with political overtones, adhere to the Marxist ideas and methods and deceits of Alinsky and make a mockery of American democratic principles by denying the faithful their most basic rights and taking their donations for illicit purposes when they are given in good faith.”
What Varoz wrote strikes what would become a constant theme when it comes to CCHD-funded organizations. Alinsky was indeed a Marxist who preached a constant revolution between the “haves” and the “have-nots,” applying the ideology of the ends justifying the means for the acquisition of power. That this was being preached by both priests and nuns is appalling, but with the eyes of history on the CCHD, not altogether surprising.
In 1984, an article titled “Bishops Blast Reagan” appeared in the Lake Shore Visitor. According to the article, two Texas bishops sent letters to President Ronald Reagan demanding he repudiate a document that was alleged to have been circulated by Thomas Paukin, a Reagan administration staffer. According to the article, the 16-page document in question stated that:
“funding from the Campaign for Human Development went to ‘organizations of the left-wing persuasion who seek fundamental, radical change in the American political economic system.’ … CHD-sponsored groups are ‘using our free enterprise system and our charitable impulse as a people to destroy our economic system.’”
Again, the grave concern regarding the radicalization of the poor for the sake of political power is at the very heart of the problem. A year later, Paulkin would publish a lengthy article in The Wanderer addressing CHD grants to ACORN and the IAF, asserting that both were Marxist in nature.
In November of 1989, the Richmond Times-Dispatch published an editorial critical of CHD titled, “Charity or Political Activism?” The article focused on a report by the Capital Research Center – a secular investigative think tank – recording several CHD grants going to pro-abortion organizations like the “National Health Care Campaign” and Marxist, pro-homosexual organizations like “The Youth Project.”
Four days later, the Dispatch published a letter by Bishop Walter Sullivan, then-bishop of the Diocese of Richmond, defending the CHD against the editorial. In Bp. Sullivan’s letter, he claimed that the charges leveled by the Capital Research Center had been discredited and are “without merit,” while simultaneously conceding that members of a CHD-funded coalition were indeed pro-abortion. This sort of aggressive dismissal of concerns regarding CHD grantees would continue to be a theme for the years to come.
In 1996, The Wanderer published a 90-page booklet titled, “The Legacy of CHD,” which documented hundreds of millions of dollars from the CHD going to radical Leftist organizations. That same year, the Baltimore Sun published an article indicating that the CHD provided funding to groups called “JEDI Women” and “9 to 5 Working Women,” as well as the “National Health Care Campaign,” all of which promoted abortion and contraception. Incredibly, the CHD responded with a memo claiming that it “has never and will never fund a project not in accord with Catholic moral teachings.”
In 1998, the USCCB added the word “Catholic” to the name of the CHD, making it the “Catholic” Campaign for Human Development. The criticism of the CHD had grown so prominent that the USCCB saw a need to rebrand.
Despite the decades of published concerns and criticisms of the CCHD and its grantees, nothing ever seemed to change. The collection would continue unabated, bishops would continue to solicit funds from unsuspecting parishioners, and only those who subscribed to conservative and Tradition-minded publications would even have a clue that there was anything wrong with giving to the CCHD. But in 2009, that all changed.
With the advent of the internet and social media, information was suddenly much easier to acquire and share. No longer reliant upon print media to carry a story, my colleagues and I were able to reach far more Catholics than ever before. And what’s more, we came up with a new style of reporting the issues.
Up until our first investigations in 2009, the USCCB was able to dismiss concerns as “political” and allegations as “unsubstantiated.” But our methodology turned all of that on its head. Basing our research on moral issues like abortion, contraception, and LGBT ideologies, we were able to acquire direct links to the evidence. And when the evidence would suddenly disappear after we reported it, we began supplying screenshots of our findings, proving beyond all doubt that what we alleged was substantiated.
With visual proof of our findings in hand, our detailed reports became shocking news in multiple Catholic news outlets. Catholic News Agency, National Catholic Register, EWTN, Our Sunday Visitor, Relevant Radio, and even the ultra-liberal America magazine, National Catholic Reporter, and U.S. Catholic carried our reports. Suddenly, there was no denying that the CCHD was indeed funding organizations pushing abortion, contraception, LGBT ideologies, and even Marxism.
Within a year of reporting, the CCHD was forced to undertake what it called a “Review and Renewal,” wherein the CCHD formally apologized “for the violations of CCHD policies by these groups and for the damage and confusion they have caused.” The Review and Renewal was to be a firming up of the CCHD’s standards and oversight, even adopting a new stipulation that CCHD will not provide funding to “groups which are part of coalitions which act in conflict with fundamental Catholic moral and social teaching.”
But this was all smoke and mirrors.
From 2010-2013, I was personally in regular communication with Ralph McCloud and met with him in-person several times to discuss our findings regarding CCHD grantees. Our concerns were always met with a promise to investigate what we discovered and provide answers, but neither promise was ever fulfilled. In fact, in 2012, we sent the details of our latest report on CCHD grantees to every bishop in the U.S., eliciting an internal memo from USCCB’s “Mission and Identity Outreach Manager,” Dylan Corbett, sent to all diocesan CCHD directors. The subject of the memo was “Recent allegations concerning CCHD funded groups.” The opening of the memo says:
“As a mark good stewardship, each year CCHD publishes a list of groups which have received a CCHD grant. In recent years, grantees have been subject to exceptional scrutiny by organized pressure groups operating in exploitative ways.”
What this indicates is that the CCHD sees its duty to publish the most recent list of grantees each year as a sign of “good stewardship.” And yet, the CCHD laments that there are organizations investigating its grantees, calling such organizations “pressure groups” engaging in “exploitation.” The purpose of sending this information to all bishops was to alert them to a problem the staff seemed to be hiding from them. Corbett called the report we sent “irresponsible criticism,” explaining that CCHD staff and diocesan directors are:
“investigating these claims responsibly, but prudence recommends considering them with reasonable skepticism based on a consistent track record of misreporting. As we work to adjudicate these claims, it has become evident that their near totality is based on false suppositions, tenuous connections and is repetitive of similar claims in the past.”
Note the tone of the memo. Our report is “irresponsible,” but CCHD investigations are “responsible.” Though we had produced these in-depth investigations for three years (forcing an apology from the CCHD and a commitment to improve their vetting process), Corbett called for “skepticism” due to our “consistent track record of misreporting.” And though he asserted that they were in the process of investigating our reports, he claimed that our conclusions are “based on false suppositions, tenuous connections and is repetitive of similar claims in the past.”
This is par for the course for the CCHD.
What is happening now is quite clear. The funds for the CCHD have nearly dried up, and the CCHD cannot continue if its collections fail to raise more funds. Our reports have awakened American Catholics to the horror of what is being done with CCHD funds, causing the collection baskets to come back empty. So, to avoid the scrutiny that would disrupt the collection, the USCCB feverishly rushed the national CCHD collection through this past weekend without informing faithful Catholics of how those funds have been used for the last two years, or how they are being used now.
This is a grossly dishonest practice at best! Imagine telling faithful Catholics that your operation is fully transparent, that you publish a list of grantees every year, and that critics of CCHD grants are all wrong – while refusing to publish the list of grantees you are asking faithful Catholics to subsidize.
Enough is enough! Call and email the grants specialist for your area (which you can find here) and your diocesan CCHD director/coordinator (which you can find here) and 1) ask why the CCHD grants list is two and a half years behind, and 2) demand that the CCHD grants list be published immediately. Remind them of the CCHD’s stated commitment to “transparency” and its promise to publish the most recent list every year. And when you receive a response, please let us know. If the CCHD can’t even uphold its promise to be transparent and publish its most up-to-date grants list, then what other promises is it breaking?"
These wolves in sheep's clothing have nothing to do with the Catholic faith, but rather serve their real master, Satan, the father of lies and murder...
Yet, any true shepherd of souls, e.g., Archbishop Vigano, or Bishop Strickland, or Fr. Altman, get slammed, cancelled or even "ex-communicated" for serving Our Lord and holding fast to Apostolic Tradition -- rather than going along to get along and compromising with the zeitgeist.
What we are dealing with here is the heavy influence of modernism (and Marxism!) and the infiltration and seating of the anti-Christs who are now in near complete control of the new, novus ordo, synodal "church"...
Pray for their defeat -- and for their conversion to orthodoxy and the Catholic faith!
