And On And On It Goes... Pope Leo Appoints New Calcutta Archbishop Known For ‘Interreligious,’ Ecological Focus!!

 So, you were hoping that under the new pope, Leo, things just might have the slightest chance of bringing back some sense of "normalcy" to the papacy and real Catholic Church teachings?

You were willing to "give him a chance" and see in what direction he would take the church?

You also realize that right after he was "elected," he said that he would continue the "synodal" "reforms" in the church under his predecessor, Bergoglio...

Well, his many appointments to date have crushed any hope of a return to sanity and authentic church teachings, I'm sorry to report.  But don't take my word for it, just do a simple search and see for yourselves the anti-tradition, TLM-hating "bishops" now in control and suppressing and canceling the Mass of the ages, forcing the faithful to travel outrageous number of miles to attend the sublime Mass of the Saints and Martyrs.

Not only that, but the support of some of the most heinous sins that cry to Heaven for vengeance seems to be of great interest to some of these appointments!

In addition, we see good priests who preach the unchangeable truths get cancelled or thrown out of the priesthood, while known heretics and perverts remain in good standing?! 

Why??

As an example of this nonsense, here is another horrific appointment Leo just made in India...

Friends, we are in very deep trouble unless and until there is some Divine intervention to right these crazy wrongs!

Buckle up!

From lifesitenews.com and written by Robert Jones Mon Sep 22, 2025 - 5:14 pm EDT: Pope Leo appoints new Calcutta archbishop known for 'interreligious,' ecological focus - LifeSite

You will notice that the usual, "mandatory" make-nice-with-the-world baloney is emphasized, but not one mention of the need to bring in those non-Catholics into the one, true church.  In other words, the salvation of souls has taken a back seat to the zeitgeist -- spirit of the age, and not to the last four things! 

"(LifeSiteNews) — Pope Leo XIV appointed Bishop Elias Frank as Archbishop of Calcutta, one of India’s most prominent Catholic sees, after serving just two years in the Diocese of Asansol.

Frank, 63, was appointed to the post of coadjutor in June. He now formally succeeds Archbishop Thomas D’Souza this month in a jurisdiction with 180,000 Catholics and 55 parishes.

A canon lawyer by training, Frank studied in Rome and served as a professor at the Pontifical Urbaniana University and visiting professor at the Pontifical Alphonsian Academy. He was also a consultor to the Dicastery for Divine Worship and worked on marriage cases at the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith. He is the author of a short book titled The Dissolution of Marriage Bond in the Discipline of the Church and Its Application.

Pope Francis had appointed him bishop of Asansol in 2023, a small diocese established in 1997 with about 30,000 Catholics and 17 parishes.

Frank’s public statements have already drawn attention. In his November 2023 address at St. Joseph’s Convent Higher Secondary School in Chittaranjan, published on the school’s website, Frank spoke to the students about the three “important celebrations” of All Saints (and All Souls), the Hindu feasts Deepavali and Kali Puja, and the Sikh festival of Guru Nanak Jayanti.

Quoting Vatican interreligious messages, he prayed for Hindu students and their families to be “filled with peace and happiness” and for the Sikhs to grow in “unity and solidarity.”

Focusing on the school as a place of learning, he said:

I wish to draw your attention to one thing that is fundamental to achieve success in life: it is about peace. We must promote peace, not hatred, not division.

To promote peace we must respect others, no matter what their religion is, what their social status is, no matter what their skin tone or complexion is, no matter what they eat at home. Respecting others means considering them as our brothers and sisters in the human family.

Peace is not possible without protecting our mother earth, he concluded.

He then turned to environmental themes, urging students to recycle, conserve water and electricity, and “protect our mother earth.”

Frank’s language reflects broader Vatican priorities in interreligious dialogue and ecology, highlighted by Francis in documents such as Laudato Si’ and Leo XIV’s address to the U.N.’s COP30 climate conference.

Leo XIV and episcopal appointments

While the address was centered on themes of fraternity, peace, and ecological responsibility, it did not contain a single mention of Jesus Christ.

Even though Catholics are a small minority in India, this omission contrasts sharply with the traditional role of a bishop as a teacher of the Catholic faith.

Frank’s promotion marks the latest in a line of concerning episcopal appointments by Leo that represent some of the longest-lasting effects of a pontificate.

One of his first appointments was Bishop Michael Pham to the Diocese of San Diego. In July, Pham’s auxiliary, Bishop Ramón Bejarano, offered an “LGBT Pride Mass” in the diocese with his backing.

In July, Leo appointed Father Thomas Hennen as bishop of Baker, Oregon. Hennen was involved in drafting pastoral guidelines for persons with same-sex attraction that made no mention of the necessity of chastity.

Before the conclave, Leo XIV was the Prefect for the Congregation of Bishops, where – according to The Pillar – he “saw his task as that of identifying men who embodied Pope Francis’ ideals for bishops.”'

One Last Shot Of Hate From ["]Bishop["] Daniel E. Garcia, He Has Canceled The Sole Traditional Mass In His Now Former Diocese Of Monterey.

 Another make-believe "bishop" destroys the last Latin Mass in the diocese of Monterey, California, as he leaves to destroy another diocese in Austin, Texas...

This novus ordo, "synodal" "bishop's" despicable act uses the non-binding, malicious document that the other hater of the traditional Lain Mass, the now-deceased, Bergoglio, set in motion to implement a different "church" made in the image and likeness of man, devoid of the graces of the Holy Ghost and filled, instead, with the wickedness of the ape of the real Catholic Church, Satan and his legions of evil spirits!

From lifesitenews.com and written by Michael Haynes, Snr. Vatican Correspondent Tue Sep 23, 2025 - 12:42 pm EDT: California bishop suppresses Latin Mass just before departing for new diocese - LifeSite

"(LifeSiteNews) — On his way to take over the Diocese of Austin, Bishop Daniel E. Garcia has canceled the sole traditional Mass in his now former diocese of Monterey.

Publicized via social media networks and traditional blog Rorate Caeli, Garcia’s letter implementing new liturgical rules was dated September 14. The decree came just five days before the U.S. Papal Nuncio announced Bishop Slawomir Szkredka as the apostolic administrator of the see, after Garcia was named the incoming bishop of the Diocese of Austin on July 2.

Citing Pope Francis’ 2021 Traditionis Custodes restrictions on the traditional Mass, Garcia wrote that “clearly the Church is moving us to greater unity in worship.”

Traditionis Custodes and the subsequent restrictions from Cardinal Arthur Roche prohibited the traditional Mass from being celebrated in parish churches, unless granted direct permission by the Vatican. The sole traditional Mass in the Diocese of Monterey is held at Sacred Heart Parish, which currently has a dispensation from the Vatican that is due to expire this fall.

After deliberating over its future, Garcia had decided to end the Mass and not seek a continuation of the dispensation:

I have come to a decision for the good of the Church of Monterey not to request a dispensation from the Dicastery for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments for the celebration of the pre-conciliar Mass at Sacred Heart Parish church.

In unity with the Holy Father’s motu proprio. I have directed Fr. Stephen Akers to cease celebration of the pre-conciliar Mass in Hollister as of October 13, 2025.

This decision, wrote Garcia, will “strengthen our unity with the Universal Church.”

“I invite you all,” the outgoing bishop added, “to join in unity with the parish of Sacred Heart and St. Benedict, and in cooperation with your pastor, as they gather around the Table of the Lord celebrating the rich Eucharistic Sacrifice, each Sunday, which has been a great fruit of the Council.”

He urged Monterey Catholics to have the Novus Ordo liturgy “charge your hearts with charity and trust, to build the unity Pope Leo spoke about in the Mass he celebrated early in his pontificate in St. Peter’s Square.”

The news has sparked backlash among Catholics and – further afield – in the online sphere, as critics have questioned why Garcia moved to quash the Latin Mass community.

READ: Vatican cardinal says he was told to ‘wait for the Holy Father to decide’ future of Latin Mass

“The cruelty is the point,” wrote theologian and liturgist Dr. Peter Kwasniewski.

Pope Francis famously declared in July 2021 that “the instrumental use of Missale Romanum of 1962 is often characterized by a rejection not only of the liturgical reform, but of the Vatican Council II itself, claiming, with unfounded and unsustainable assertions, that it betrayed the Tradition and the ‘true Church.’”

But vocal proponents of the traditional liturgy, such as Cardinal Raymond Burke, have decried this characterization of Catholics. Shortly after the motu proprio was published in 2021, Burke hailed it as a “severe and revolutionary action of the Holy Father.”

Speaking to this correspondent in an interview for PerMariam, Burke added that the document itself “is problematic from the point of view of canon law and also of the theological reality of the sacred liturgy.”

Some Catholics have expressed hope that Pope Leo will be more open to the old Mass than his predecessor, and though Leo has shown himself to be more attuned to the liturgy than Francis, he has refrained from wading too deeply into the issue so far.

Last week, the text of a July interview was released in which Leo commented that the question and future of the traditional Mass was unclear:

Obviously, between the Tridentine Mass and the Vatican II Mass, the Mass of Paul VI, I’m not sure where that’s going to go. It’s obviously very complicated.

I do know that part of that issue, unfortunately, has become – again, part of a process of polarization – people have used the liturgy as an excuse for advancing other topics. It’s become a political tool, and that’s very unfortunate.

Since then, Leo has met with both Cardinals Burke and Robert Sarah, two members of the College of Cardinals known for their advocacy of the traditional liturgy. The details of their meeting will remain private, but in his July interview Leo expressed hope of meeting with advocates of the traditional Mass to learn more about the topic.

When asked by the Catholic Herald about the future of the traditional rite, the cardinal archpriest of St. Peter’s Basilica – no warm friend of the traditional liturgy – replied: “Better not answer that. I have been told that we will wait for the Holy Father to decide.”

Though Leo has so far given no specific comment on the old rite’s future, it appears that those around him expect some change in the near future."

Tiring Of God! Synodality Has As Much To Do With Religion As Astrology Has To Do With Astronomy.

 From crisismagazine.com comes this excellent take of the lunacy (and errors!) of "synodality," that continues to be pushed by Leo -- following the horrible legacy of Bergoglio...

Tiring of God - Crisis Magazine

Written by Fr. John A. Perricone...

"It refuses to end. Synoding, that is. That clever term is George Weigel’s and captures the whimsical inanity of the Bergoglian invention of synodality. In a recent essay of Mr. Weigel’s in that estimable journal First Things, he was rather irenic about the past aims of synodality. To me, he was straining a bit too far for my theological tastes. But bending over backward seems to have become a signature métier for Mr. Weigel. But a man of his intellectual stature should know that the problem with bending over backward is that you soon find yourself unable to stand straight again.

O yes, synoding. Restrain your laughter (or fear) as I present an enticing morsel from the official Pathways for the Implementation of the Present Phase of the Synod 2025-2028:

We recall that the purpose of the Synod is not to produce documents, but to plant dreams, draw forth prophecies and visions, allow hope to flourish, inspire trust, bind up wounds, weave together relationships, awaken a dawn of hope, learn from one another and create a bright resourcefulness that will enlighten minds, warm hearts, give strength to our hands.

This bears as much resemblance to Catholicism as a seven-year-old’s birthday party. More woefully, it has as much to do with religion as astrology has to do with astronomy.

But synodality is the most recent in a long line of embarrassing experiments of the past half century. It seems as though the Church’s leaders have one rule: if an experiment has failed because of its absurdity, the next one must be made more absurd. 

An older generation of Catholics can bear this out. They must admit an embarrassing familiarity with such lovelies as: Call to Action, Nuns on the Bus, The Archdiocese of Los Angeles Religious Education Congress (still enduring with all the risibility of an octogenarian wheelchair race), Confessional Rooms, Lenten Rice Bowls, The St. Louis Jesuits, Liberation Theology, Seamless Garment and multi-colored clerical shirts. But that is only a sampling. Others have mercifully been forgotten or should be.

The net effect of these experiments is empty pews, shuttered churches, desolate seminaries, and the almost entire collapse of religious orders. A more dramatic case in point is the decades-old détente the European bishops conducted with Islam. It has resulted in wrenching violence, the burning of churches, and the near disappearance of any Catholic presence. 

Only yesterday the once papabile Cardinal Parolin warned Catholics to not tip over into intolerance due to the murder of Charlie Kirk. Imagine him preaching that about blacks garroted by the Ku Klux Klan, or homosexuals thrown from the tops of buildings by Muslim jihadists. In reality’s piercing light, the benighted cardinal’s words are shown for the oratorical litter they are.

To this failed cardinal we have the words of venerable Fulton Sheen:

America, it is said, is suffering from intolerance—it is not. It is suffering from tolerance. Tolerance of right and wrong, truth and error, virtue and evil, Christ and chaos. Our country is not nearly so overrun with the bigoted as it is overrun with the broad minded.

Imagine, most Catholic priests spoke with that kind of crystalline Catholic logic 70 years ago. Now they babble in the accommodating Parolin patois.

All this endless assembly line of synodal novelties betrays nothing less than a tiring of God. He is a consuming fire, and this crowd has turned Him into an afterglow of fading embers. The Church’s mission is entirely supernatural, and the language of the supernatural is uttered with the crackling tongues of fire given to her at Pentecost. She also wields the supernatural tools in her sacred traditions as she has for millennia. These tried-and-true weapons have been successful in bringing the liberating Gospel of Our Lord to every continent.

Now, she trades that divine proclamation for the junk language of synodality.

The synodalist eschews those weapons given to us by a triumphant conquering Christ, in exchange for the shiny new baubles of the zeitgeist.

The cringeworthy march of synodality epitomizes a parlous weariness with God. The incongruities could not be more conspicuous.

How does “planting dreams” accord with, “But God forbid that I should glory save in the Cross of Our Lord Jesus Christ; by whom the world is crucified to me, and I to the world” (Galatians 6:14). Or can anyone explain how “planting dreams, and drawing forth prophecies and visions” is consonant with, “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself” (John 12:32). 

How will the hyper-psychologized purring of “inspire trust, bind up wounds, weave together relationships, awaken a dawn of hope” possibly accord with the summoning words of Christ: “All power is given me unto heaven and on earth.  Go ye therefore and teach all nations…. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you” (Matthew 28:18-20). How does the synodolist reconcile himself to Christ’s jolting words, “Think not that I am come to bring peace on earth; I came not to send peace, but a sword” (Matthew 10:34).How does the synodolist reconcile himself to Christ’s jolting words, “Think not that I am come to bring peace on earth; I came not to send peace, but a sword” (Matthew 10:34).Tweet This

Dear reader, this is nothing less than becoming tired of God.

The Medieval Schoolmen identified this malady of the soul as acedia or sloth. The term has been drained of its original meaning by modernity to mean mere laziness. That is comparable to calling leprosy a rash. Its original denotation was chilling, so it warranted being in the company of the seven capital sins. 

St. Thomas defines it as “sadness in the face of some spiritual good which one has to achieve (tristitia de bono spirituali) (ST II-II, Q. 35).

The treachery of sloth is expressed precisely by Josef Pieper in his tour de force On Hope: “Acedia is a kind of sadness—more specifically, a sadness in view of the divine good in man. This sadness because of the God-given and ennobling of human nature, causes inactivity, depression, discouragement.”

This sin of acedia results in a fleeing from God, with the manifestation of conducting business with anything save the things of God. Nothing expresses more accurately the malady of synodality. It flees from the climb to Calvary with any and every activity that bears resemblance to that salvific Hill. It stands in company with a half century of almost total erasure of that ensemble of devotions, prayers, practices, and piety that characterized the life of the Church for millennia. That universe of Catholic depths becomes toxic for the synodolist. 

Synodality is the denouement of the Modernist project.

But Dr. Pieper diagnoses the poison of sloth as sorrow for divine things in even more graphic terms:

This sorrow is a lack of magnanimity: it lacks courage for the great things that are proper to the nature of the Christian. It is a kind of anxious vertigo that befalls the human individual when he becomes aware of the height to which God has raised him. One who is trapped in acedia has neither the courage nor the will to be as great as he really is. He would prefer to be less great in order thus to avoid the obligation of greatness. Acedia is a perverted humility: it will not accept supernatural goods because they are, by their very nature, linked to a claim on him who receives them.

The great Thomist concludes with quaking warnings:

The more I see the advances from the region of emotion into that of intellectual decision, the more it becomes a deliberate turning away from, and actual fleeing from God. Man flees from God because God has exalted human nature to a higher, a divine, state of being and has thereby enjoined on man a higher standard of obligation. In the last analysis, it has the monstrous result of men expressly wishing that God had not ennobled him but “had left him in peace.”

Synodality is not merely a comical interstice before a new flowering of the Faith. Some of the more orthodox, albeit too cautious, lights in the Church may treat it so. Synodality is far more serious. 

It deepens in the Church an already dangerous superficiality, or silliness, that has come to replace the grave obligation of saving one’s soul. One need only view the recent video of seminarians dancing outside their school in the Philippines. Be prepared to quickly look away at a performance of cheap burlesque parading as Catholicism.

Synodality is the picture of a Brave New Catholic World. One as unnerving as Huxley’s.

Synodality gives an unsettling confirmation to the words of Our Lord, “But yet the Son of man, when he cometh, shall he find, think you, faith on earth? (Luke 18:8).

Synodality must not be allowed the final word. 

Sitting back is not an option."
