As we have written before, if you want to know what the Protestant-Masonic-Pagan Synodal Newchurch of the New Order will become, just look at the Protestant Anglicans of the Church of England. Historically, Newchurch has followed the apostasy and corruption of the Anglican sect in lockstep.
The appointment of Sarah Mullally as the first female Anglican Archbishopess of Canterbury and leader of the heretic Church of England, has caused public outcry and backlash. In 2025 the traditionalist GAFCON (Global Anglican Future Conference), said to represent some 80 per cent of Anglicans around the world, formally dissociated itself from the Church of England and rejected Mullally as an apostate from the Christian faith.
When Mullally was installed on January 28, 2026, according to the rite, the presiding bishop asked whether there was any objection to her being installed. Paul Williamson, a respected Anglican presbyter, exercised his right to object and peaceably stood up to proclaim, "I object." He then began to state the canonical reasons for his objection, that Mullally had covered up sex crimes in her position as bishop of London. Immediately security guards grabbed and manhandled Williamson, handcuffed him, and pushed him down the stairs.
The presiding bishop publicly proclaimed the lie that "no one had appeared in opposition" to Mullally’s appointment. Williamson, when he at that point stood up to object, stated that, to the contrary, he had indeed submitted a formal objection, which had been ignored by the Anglican hierarchy. The Church of England installation rite allows for a time at which objections can be presented.
The fact that a proper canonical objection from a member of the clergy was publicly precluded and occasioned a violent expulsion of the clergyman from the site simply shows how corrupt the Anglican sect is. The incident, broadcast live, was seen by millions. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by InfoVaticana.]
Traditional Catholics, like the Synodal Newchurch of the New Order, the Anglican sect is being ripped apart by internal divisions between conservatives and leftists. Mullally herself is an apostate from the Christian faith, supporting the installation of priestesses, liberalized sexual morality, and the blessing of "gay" and lesbian "marriages." Before the world the Anglicans, just as the Newchurchers, who profess "brotherly" love, have been exposed as hypocrites when they manhandled their own presbyter simply for peaceably exercising his rights. The corrupt Mullally has remained mute through the whole contretemps. Dux femina facti.
Dear TRADITIO Fathers:
I appreciate your recommendation of Carol Byrne's outstanding book, Born of Revolution: A Misconceived Liturgical Movement, Vol. 1: Active Participation (Holyrood Press, 318 pp., c. 2020), which documents all the modernizing changes that Pius XII, whom many traditional Catholics wrongly think was completely traditional, made to the Sacred Liturgy during his tenure. In the TRADITIO Network's Traditional Latin Mass, Divine Office & Sacraments department in the section "The Descent into the Black Hole of the Liturgical 'New Order,'" you note that in 1953 Pius XII modernized the Officium Parvum Beatae Mariae Virginis (Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary). Could you indicate what those modernizations were?
THE TRADITIO FATHERS REPLY.
In the 1950s, a decade in which he adopted many Modernistic changes, such as those gutting the ancient, traditional Holy Week, Pius XII approved a new version of the Officium Parvum Beatae Mariae Virginis with three additional seasons and with changed prayers, readings, and Saints' feasts. In that same decade, Pius XII also introduced, inter alia, the following corruptions of the Traditional Latin Mass, Traditional Divine Office, and traditional disciplines:
