July 3, 2025 - St. Leo II, Pope & Confessor of the Church
Semidouble Feast
Chaos in Newvatican: Prevost-Leo Is Pelted with Projectiles
The Honeymoon Is over for the Latest Pseudo-Newpope
From: The TRADITIO Fathers
Police Are Highly Concerned
After a Projectile Hurled
From the Crowd in St. Peter's Piazza
Hit Prevost-Leo in the Head
The Pseudo-Newpope Is Already Controversial
As a Protege of the Marxist-Modernist
He Has Deeply Involved Himself
More in Leftist Secular Politics
Than in Anything Catholic
It seems that the honeymoon is already over for the latest Pseudo-Newpope Prevost-Leo. The crowds in Newvatican are becoming increasingly unruly and are now pelting the apostate Newpope with objects. The latest incident occurred on June 26, 2025, when a projectile, which fortunately was not hard, gave Prevost a good bop on the head. The Newvatican gendarmerie are becoming more and more concerned that a more dangerous attack on Prevost may be in the offing.
It is Prevost himself who is stirring up this animus. What is he doing walking around unruly crowds? Real popes used the sedia gestatoria (portable throne), and then only in St. Peter's Basilica. Far from being the more "conservative" Newpope that the Neocon Newchurchers were hoping for, Prevost has turned out to be a flaming political Leftist and Modernist heretic worse than Bergoglio-Francis. Oh, sure, he might sing the Regina Caeli in Latin every once in a while, but that is only a part of the vaudeville show that he and his Newchurch predessors put on to deceive their clueless membership.
Traditional Catholics, every day Prevost-Leo spends much of his efforts not on affairs having to do with religion, but on Leftist greenie politics wading in on secular matters of relations between secular countries, and meeting with rock stars and movie celebrities -- activities that are totally outside the papal brief, even if the unordained, unconsecrated Prevost were a true pope.
