Taylor Marshall Says He Prays To ‘Pope’ Francis:
“I Ask Him to Pray For Me”

What has happened to Taylor Marshall? That is a question not a few people are asking themselves these days.

Ever since the election of Robert Francis Prevost as ‘Pope Leo XIV’ — or, to be more precise, ever since the day after the election of Leo XIV — the philosophy professor, author, former Anglican priest, and now professional influencer, podcaster, and liver cleanser salesman Dr. Taylor Marshall has shifted away from his hardcore recognize-and-resist position that catapulted him to fame beginning around 2018.… READ MORE

German Diocese of Erfurt Hosts Ecumenical Prayer Service for Sexual Deviants

This past Saturday, Sep. 5, 2026, the German city of Erfurt hosted a so-called Christopher Street Day (CSD) event, which is basically the European version of what in the United States is a ‘gay pride’ parade.

The idea behind such an event is for sodomites and aberrosexuals of every kind, as well as their supporters, to walk through the streets while flaunting their attachment to unnatural vice, which they celebrate and glorify. In this manner they also reinforce their social presence and march for greater acceptance, equal rights, etc.,… READ MORE

New Vatican Eco-Document Calls Holy Eucharist ‘School of Ecology’

In the Counterfeit ‘Catholic’ Church of Vatican II, the month of September is all about the environment, the planet, ecology — what they affectionately refer to as our ‘common home’.

Certainly, creation is a good thing, a beautiful gift from God: “The heavens shew forth the glory of God, and the firmament declareth the work of his hands” (Ps 18:2). It is only right that we should appreciate and be good stewards of it. But it is likewise true that after God created Adam and Eve, He said to them: “Increase and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the air, and all living creatures that move upon the earth” (Gen 1:28).… READ MORE

Paul VI in 1965: Vatican II Contains ‘Numerous Doctrinal Points Proposed by the Extraordinary Magisterium’

There is a little-known document issued by the false pope Paul VI (Giovanni Battista Montini) during the last few days of the ill-fated Second Vatican Council (1962-1965). Dated Nov. 4, 1965, it is considered an ‘apostolic exhortation’ and bears the title Postrema Sessio. On Nov. 7, the official Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano released the Latin original text along with an Italian translation.

As no English translation appears to exist online, we have now made one available:

• Antipope Paul VI, Apostolic Exhortation Postrema Sessio (Nov.

Bergoglio Blacked Out: Russia Censors LGBTQ-Friendly Passages in ‘Pope’ Francis’ Autobiography

Hope is the name of the English version of Jorge Bergoglio’s autobiography, which was compiled and edited by Carlo Musso and translated by Richard Dixon. The book was published in several languages in January of 2025, a few months before the false pope’s death.

The title is not to be understood as a noun but as an imperative, an exhortation to get busy hoping. This is clear from the original Italian edition, which is entitled Spera, not Speranza. ‘Pope Francis’, as Bergoglio called himself, can be seen advertising the work in this informal clip.… READ MORE

Leo XIV Prays Before Horrid Crucifix Condemned by Pope Benedict XV

This past Saturday, on Aug. 22, 2026, the Rev. Robert Prevost — more commonly known by his stage name ‘Pope Leo XIV’ — went on a ‘pastoral visit’ to the Republic of San Marino and to the Italian city of Rimini. The occasion for the trip was the so-called ‘Meeting for Friendship Among Peoples’, a ‘Catholic’ event sponsored annually by the Communion and Liberation movement.

The official trip schedule released by the Vatican notes in between the two destinations: “The Holy Father will pay a strictly private visit to the community of the Monastery of Saint Anthony of Padua of the Augustinian Nuns at Pennabilli.”… READ MORE

Reports: Andorra Working with Vatican to Decriminalize Abortion

The Principality of Andorra is one of the smallest nations on earth, a micro-state situated in the Pyrenean Mountains between Spain and France. It is one of the few Western countries in which abortion is still illegal and punishable by law. Unfortunately, that is about to change.

Andorra is not a monarchy but a diarchy. This means that there are two heads of state, who exercise authority conjointly over the country. The two Andorran so-called “co-princes” are the president of France and the Roman Catholic bishop of the diocese of Urgell (Spain), ex officio.… READ MORE

Leo XIV Hopes Anglican Worship Services Will Return to English Church Damaged by Fire

“A fire greatly damaged an Anglican church in the English city of Leicester on July 28”, Crux is reporting today.

The building in question is St. Andrew’s Church on Jarrom Street, which is part of the conservative ‘High-Church Anglican’ or ‘Anglo-Catholic’ wing of the Church of England. It does not appear that any foul play was involved, as no evidence of arson has been found.

The reason why this fire at a Protestant church is news for a Novus Ordo publication like Crux is that ‘Pope’ Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) sent a message to the Anglican parish priest, Rev.… READ MORE

Gone to the Dogs: Canadian Novus Ordo Bishop Celebrates Mass with Furry Friend

The video we are featuring in the present post is a live specimen of a ‘Novus Ordo Mass’, also known as the ‘New Mass’, as it was celebrated the evening of Aug. 1, 2026, at St. Joseph’s Church in Tahsis, British Columbia. It was the so-called ‘Saturday Night Vigil Mass’, which uses the liturgy of the Sunday. Attendance at such a ‘Eucharistic celebration’ technically fulfills the Sunday obligation in the Vatican II Church.

The unusual thing about this particular Novus Ordo Mass was that there was a dog in attendance, making himself comfortable in and around the altar area (traditionally called the ‘sanctuary’).… READ MORE

“The magic of Tarot divination is not in the cards but in ourselves…. Can the Tarot predict the future? Perhaps!”

In PART ONE, we began examining the ongoing controversy surrounding the 2024 volume, Mysticism, Magic, and Monasteries: Recovering the Sacred Mystery at the Heart of Reality, specifically its promotion of occultism, which is a central theme.… READ MORE

The Sacred and the Profane: Vienna Cemetery Church Turned Into Venue for ‘Silent Disco’ Event

As far as New Church insanities go, you may think you’ve seen it all, but we suspect the present post will shatter that conviction.

The Central Cemetery (Zentralfriedhof) in Vienna is the main graveyard of the Austrian capital. At over 330,000 individual grave sites and a total of about 3 million people interred since its inception in 1874, it is one of the largest cemeteries in the world. Among those whose remains are located there we find such famous names as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ludwig van Beethoven, and Johannes Brahms.… READ MORE

Archdiocese Installs Cemetery Memorial for Those Who Committed Suicide to Aid Grieving Family Members

Chicago Vicar General ‘Bishop’ Larry Sullivan presided over the dedication ceremony on June 26, 2026

Just as the state of Illinois is getting ready to implement so-called ‘medical aid in dying’ — also known as physician-assisted suicide or, euphemistically, euthanasia — the Archdiocese of Chicago is basically assuring its flock that suicide is a ticket to Heaven.

Illinois’ suicide-enabling so-called ‘End of Life Options Act’ was signed by Gov. Jay Robert Pritzker on Dec. 12, 2025. It is scheduled to take legal effect on Sep.… READ MORE

Nothing sacred: Unholy water in Mexico

In Austria two Novus Ordo priests attempt to consecrate flatbread on the floor. Hey, for a Traditional Mass, they would have needed special authorization!

‘Despite’ or ‘because of’? Novus Ordo ‘Catholicism’ reportedly in decline in Argentina “despite having a Pope from that country”…. This might have something to do with it: “A new dossier documents how Pope Francis used episcopal appointments in Argentina to punish critics, reward Peronist allies, and elevate men with ‘skeletons in the closet.'”

If the Stations of the Cross are too pre-Vatican II for you, you can always try a ‘Creation Walk’ instead….… READ MORE

Podcast: The Synodal Church of Schism, Full Communion, and Total Insanity

(TRADCAST EXPRESS 228)

Our latest podcast episode, TRADCAST EXPRESS 228, has been published.

This 18-minute installment deals with several different topics, including the insane theology of ‘Fr.’ Bryan Massingale, who is in full communion with Leo XIV; the schism of the Society of St. Pius X, which is not in full communion with Leo; the bizarre view of retired Swiss auxiliary ‘Bp.’ Marian Eleganti that there is an “internal schism” in the Catholic Church; and the never-ending journey of the Synod on Synodality, the conclusion of which has now been pushed out to 2028.… READ MORE
