August 3, 2026 - Finding of the Body of St. Stephen, Proto-martyr
Semidouble Feast

Newcardinal Lopez Romero, Appointed by Newpope Prevost-Leo to Be Head
Of Pseudo-traditional Groups, Is under Investigation for Assaulting Five Women

From: The TRADITIO Fathers
Cristobal Lopez Romero

The Newcardinals Have Turned
Their Backs on Their Colleague
Cristobal Lopez Romero
Who Now Faces an Investigation
For the Assault of Five Women
Romero Had Been a Radical Modernist
Player under Newpope Bergoglio-Francis
And Had then Been a Kingpin
In the Newconclave that Elected
Bergoglio's Protege, Newpope Prevost-Leo

A Newcardinal appointed by counterfeit Newpope Bergoglio-Francis has been accused by five women of assaulting them and abuse of authority. He subsequently withdrew from the exercise of his office on July 7, 2026. Newcardinal Cristobal Lopez Romero, Newarchbishop of Rabat, Morocco, was a radical Modernist apostate in Bergoglio's inner circle.

Romero actively participated in the Newconclave that elected Bergoglio's protege, counterfeit Newpope Prevost-Leo, an even more radical Modernist apostate. He has stated: "The far left is still too far to the right for me." [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Infovaticana.]

Traditional Catholics, In what could be considered a payoff for Romero's politicking for him at the Newconclave, Prevost appointed him to the powerful Dicastery for Institutes of Consecrated Life, which has control over the Fraternity St. Peter (FSSP), the Institute of Christ the King (ICRSS), the Institute of the Good Shepherd (IBP), and other pseudo-traditionalist organization reporting to the Prevost regime.

Semidouble Sunday

The Catholic World Rejoices at the Finding of Two Previously-unknown Latin Texts
Of Sermons by the Great Father and Doctor of the Church, St. Augustine of Hippo

From: The TRADITIO Fathers
Newly-discovered St. Augustine Sermon

A Page from One of the Newly-discovered
Sermons of St. Augustine of Hippo
These Latin Texts from a 12th-century Codex
Were Written in This Beautiful Gothic Hand
Presenting a New Take on the Problem of Evil
Which Perplexes Theologians to This Day
The Great Father and Doctor of the Church
Never Ceases to Amaze!

On July 30, 2026, scholars announced that they had found two previously-unknown Latin sermons of St. Augustine of Hippo, the Great Father and Doctor of the Church, who with St. Paul of Tarsus and St. Thomas Aquinas of Rocca Seca, constitute the Sacred Trinity of Catholic Theologians. It is rare that such a finding is made after so many centuries.

This discovery of immense importance was made in the Cistercian Monastery of Pelplin, Poland. These Latin sermons were discovered within a 12th-century codex written in a Gothic hand from original 5th-century works of St. Augustine. They include a new take on the problem of evil, what is known in theology as theodicy, the justice of God. The subject is one that is still challenging theologians to this day: why the All-Good God permits evil.

St. Augustine examines the case of Saul, Israel's first king, who consulted with the Witch of Endor, as recounted in the 28th chapter of the First Book of Kings. Saul consults the necromancer to summon the prophet Samuel for a prophecy. St. Augustine suggests a new explanation for this episode, that Saul may ultimately have repented and been redeemed. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the National Catholic Register.]

Traditional Catholics, the Great Father and Doctor of the Church, St. Augustine of Hippo, never ceases to amaze!

Double Major Feast

Newcardinal Celebrates Fifty Years of the "Gay" Marriage of Two Males
With a Herd of Novus Ordo Newbishops and Presbyters "Concelebrating"

From: The TRADITIO Fathers
Timothy Radcliff

Newcardinal Timothy Radcliffe
Here Pictured at the Newvatican
In His Sunday Best
Simulated a Mess to Celebrate
The "Marriage" of Two "Gay" Males
Radcliffe Was Surrounded
At the "eucharistic" Dinner Table
By a Herd of Newbishops
And Presbyters "Celebrating" the Blasphemy

By now the counterfeit "hierarchy" of Newchurch has been thoroughly infected with apostasy. A case in point: Newcardinal Timothy Radcliffe, who is also Master General of the Newdominicans, on July 2, 2026, openly simulated a Mess to celebrate the "gay" marriage of two males. Sodomy is one of the Four Biblical Sins that Cry out to God for Retribution. A herd of Newbishops and presbyters couldn't wait to crowd around the Novus Ordo eucharistic dinner table.

This blasphemy took place at Holy Apostles Church in London, England. Radcliffe was, of course, not excommunicated. The two males feted had engineered the founding of Westminster's "homosexual pastoral ministry." The counterfeit Newcardinal himself delivered the "homily," after which all of the apostate Newclergy, each in turn, sacrilegiously asked for the blessing by the Most Blessed Trinity on the two.

Traditional Catholics, all this was in accordance with the execrable 2023 decree "Fiducia supplicans." And, to top it off, Newcardinal Radcliffe is Prevost's official preacher to the Synod of his Synodal Newchurch of the New Age. He is the one filling all the Synodal lemmings with Prevost's apostasies.
