Are Now Being Treated Worse than Jews, Muslims, and Pagans for Their Sycophancy

Again Neo-SSPX members, excommunicated from the Synodal Newchurch of the New Order by counterfeit Newpope Prevost-Leo, have been barred from entering a traditional shrine, now under the control of Newchurch. The Neo-SSPX clergy and laity trying to enter the Shrine of the Canadian Martyrs in Midland, Ontario, Canada, on September 27, 2026, were forcibly barred from entering to venerate the relics on their annual pilgrimage there. Instead, the 200 members were relegated to throwing together a New Latin Mess of 1962, which isn't even the Traditional Latin Mass, sharing a nearby field with the cows.

Newcardinal Gerald Lacroix, of Quebec, Canada, has withdrawn all "allowances" formerly granted to the Neo-SSPX. The Society is barred from all Newchurches. Newbishop Daniele Salera, of Turin, Italy, barred Neo-SSPX members from the Shrine of Our Lady of Sorrows. Newbishop Jean-Marc Micas, of Lourdes, France, banned Neo-SSPX members from the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes. Neo-SSPX members were prohibited from entering the Newbasilica of St. Francis in Assisi, Italy. Newbishop Wilhelm Krautwaschl, of Graz, Austria, expelled Neo-SSPX members from saying the Rosary in the Newbasilica of Mariazell, Austria. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by LS News.]

Traditional Catholics, the Neo-SSPX has been hoisted by its own petard. After over two decades of playing the sycophants to the counterfeit Newchurch since the death of their founder, Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, they have gained nothing of the power that Bernie Fellay, former Superior General, had hankered for. Is the theological formation perpetrated at their Econe, Switzerland, seminary so bad that they cannot see what is obvious to the simplest of their faithful? The time is long past for them to cut the cord with the counterfeit Newchurch and rejoin the Catholic Church, which still remains in tens of thousands of churches, chapels, and oratories throughout the world who have remained independent of the counterfeit and apostate Newchurch.

A Perfect Ploy
For Counterfeit Newpope Prevost-Leo
Program to Push the Apostasy
Of the Vatican II Anti-council

Counterfeit Newpope Prevost-Leo and his Synodal Newchurch of the New Order have initiated a full-court press to Novus Ordo-beatify Fulton Sheen, former Newchurch bishop of Rochester, New York, from 1966-1969, after serving as auxiliary bishop of New York and a television career. The fiasco took place on September 24, 2026, in St. Louis, Missouri, with Modernist-Leftist Newcardinal Luis Tagle, of the Philippines, giving the "homily."

The best we can say is that Tagle did utter the formula of pseudo-Novus Ordo-beatification in perfectly-pronounced Latin. The crowd was astonished when the supposedly Modernist Synodal Newchurch displayed a relic of the pseudo-beatus, his mandibulum (jawbone), apparently wrenched from his cadaver.

Although before the Vatican II Anti-council (1962-1965) Sheen was generally traditional, about average for the time, after he drank the polluted water of Tiber River during the Anti-council, Sheen flipped and became one of the worst Modernists and Oecumenists. When he became Newarchbishop of Rochester, New York, he raced to put into effect the most radical changes of the Anti-council almost overnight, a task in which Providence thwarted him at every turn, to the point that he had to abdicate after not even three years in the position, hated by large numbers of his congregations.

Reports have it that Prevost poured Newvatican money into the pseudo-beatification because Sheen totally flipped after the Anti-council to turn traitor to the traditional Catholicism that he had represented before the Anti-council and to associate closely with the Anti-council and the counterfeit (invalid) Protestant-Masonic-Pagan New Mess. Prevost cited Sheen's enthusiastic endorsement of the Anti-council and the Novus Ordo Mess to bolster his own Novus Ordo agenda against more conservative elements in his own apostate Newchurch and against the Neo-Society of Pius X.

Up to now there has been almost no pushback against this folderol, because it has taken a few days to overcome the hordes of propaganda money flooded out in a torrent by Prevost and Neocon Newchurch supporters of the "Modernized" Vatican II Sheen. Before the Vatican II Anti-council. But God's truth is bound to come out eventually. Here are just some incidents in the life of the "Modernized" Sheen:

  1. Supposedly a Roman Catholic bishop, Sheen dressed up as an Eastern-rite bishop and simulated a Byzantine liturgy in the vernacular. Sheen hypocritically became a full-throated supporter of the counterfeit Novus Ordo Mess, even though in 1958 he had written his popular book This Is the Mass, describing the 1958 almost-traditional Mass.
  2. As Newarchbishop of Rochester (1966-1969), Sheen was a full-blown Modernist, ceaselessly pushing the heresies and aberrations of the Vatican II revolution to their very boundaries.
  3. He appointed as his Vicar General in Rochester a presbyter who was associated with the Communist Saul Alinksy. Shortly thereafter, the presbyter abandoned the presbyterate.
  4. Sheen set up Rochester "oecumenical Newparishes" in Rochester that had both Newchurchers and Protestants as members.
  5. Sheen associated himself with Robert Schuller, the Dutch Reform Calvinist Protestant minister at the Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove, California, and gave for his "Hour of Power" program a one-hour oecumenical "homily," which was widely telecast.
  6. Sheen personally associated with Judaism, participating in Shabat services and giving "homilies" from the synagogue pulpit.
  7. Sheen started a program of Novus Ordo "home Messes," held on dining-room tables, even though the even the Newvatican at the time condemned this practice.
  8. The "Oecumenist" Sheen readily associated with Protestants and Jews in their temples, but denounced the Neo-SSPX. He warned Catholics to stay away from the Traditional Latin Mass.
  9. Sheen enthusiastically embraced Teilhard de Chardin's anti-theology, a souped-up version of "evolutionary theology" and extreme Darwinism, which was condemned by the Holy Office. Sheen said that Teilhard should be put on the same level as Catholic mystics St. John of the Cross and St. Theresa of Avila, but, to the contrary, the Holy Office silenced Teilhard in 1925 and banned him from publishing on religious matters on account of his promoting the Modernist heresy. Teilhard was thereafter condemned by Pius XII and John XXIII.

Traditional Catholics, the story of Fulton Sheen is truly sad. Before the Vatican II Anti-council he was an important voice for Catholicism and against atheistic Communism. For whatever reason -- some say that it was his inherently prideful nature -- the diabolical nature of the Anti-council tempted him to flip to the Dark Side. He certainly wasn't the only one to do so, and he certainly won't be the last.
