Viganò’s Third Testimony Responds to Ouellet, Appeals to Judgment Before God

It is striking the way in which Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò has become, in many ways, the kind of hero the Church is so desperately looking for. Today, on the occasion of the Feast of the North American Martyrs — Jesuits who, unlike many of the modern-day variety, gave their lives for the salvation of souls…

On the Ropes

“I don’t know how much more I can take of this. Internally screaming isn’t doing it for me anymore.” This comment, shared with me yesterday on social media, summed up the way so many Catholics – myself included – are feeling these days. Day after day, headline after headline, accusation after accusation from Christ’s own…

Two More High-Ranking Papal Appointees Implicated in Alleged Misconduct

Pope Francis has once again found him at the center of scandal after two of his most high-ranking appointees have been implicated in misconduct allegations. Monsignor Edgar Peña Parra, who has been tapped to take on the number two role at the Vatican Secretariat of State, has become the subject of a dossier compiled by laity…

Phil Lawler’s Scorching Response to Cardinal Ouellet

Cardinal Ouellet is going to need a burn unit. Catholic author and journalist Phil Lawler unleashed an absolutely scorching response to the Canadian cardinal’s indignant demand to know how Archbishop Viganò can “celebrate Mass and mention his [the pope’s] name in the Eucharistic Prayer?” “An excellent question,” writes Lawler. “It forces us to ask whether we…

Et Tu, Ouellet? Cardinal Answers Viganò with a Blade, but Provides Confirmation

Earlier today, we published a piece by Italian journalist, Vaticanista, and author Marco Tosatti about the Vatican’s response to Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò. Originally published on October 6 (and translated into English for 1P5), that piece was written too soon to take into account the second phase in the Vatican’s communications assault on Viganò. This…

“That’s Not Who We Are Anymore”: Pre- and Post-Conciliar Catholicism Are Not the Same Religion

When I Google “it’s not the same religion” – in quotes – the first result I get is a tweet from Hilary White about Archbishop Gómez of Los Angeles giving communion to the pro-abortion mayor. When I Google “Novusordoism isn’t Catholicism” – in quotes – I get an entire category of posts from Hilary at…

DC Archdiocese Reveals McCarrick Is Living on Doorstep of Elementary School

In a statement issued today, the D.C. Archdiocese has given an update on the status of former cardinal Theodore McCarrick: In late July 2018, our Holy Father Pope Francis requested that Archbishop Theodore McCarrick withdraw from all public ministry and events. To that end, Archbishop McCarrick now resides at St. Fidelis Friary in Victoria, Kansas…

Viganò in New Statement: “Has Christ Perhaps Become Invisible to His Vicar?”

Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, whose 11-page testimony in August shook the Church all the way to the Apostolic See, has released a new statement today, challenging Pope Francis for his silence in the face of accusations that he was complicit in covering up for perpetrators of clerical sex abuse. In his new statement, Viganò says his decision…

The Big Ugly

If you’re a Catholic and you have a pulse, you feel it: we’ve entered into a moment in Church history that is wholly unique. Some will seek historical parallels in this or that heresy, this or that crisis, and mostly fail to do so. In large part, they fail because they’re wrong, but also because…
