Radical Fidelity – SSPX Consecrations to Continue, but Herd of Elephants Remains in the Room

>A few hours ago, the latest instalment in the SSPX Episcopal Consecration soap opera dropped when the SSPX published the response of the Superior General, Fr. Davide Pagliarani, to “Cardinal” Victor Manuel Fernandez.>In early February 2026, tensions between Rome and the SSPX intensified when the Society announced its intention to proceed with episcopal consecrations on 1 July 2026 without pontifical mandate, invoking a state of necessity to ensure the continuation of its apostolate. The Holy See responded swiftly. Through the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith under Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández, and with the approval of “Pope” Leo XIV, Rome warned that such consecrations would constitute a decisive rupture of ecclesial communion and carry grave canonical consequences. At the same time, the Vatican offered a renewed doctrinal dialogue aimed at clarifying the “minimum requirements for full communion,” particularly regarding adherence to the Second Vatican Council and the post-conciliar Magisterium, on condition that the planned consecrations be suspended. It is to this proposal that Father Davide Pagliarani, Superior General of the Society, responds in his letter of 18 February 2026.

The Importance of Lent

(WM Round-Up) – Pope Benedict XIV wrote in 1741:>

“The observance of Lent is the very badge of the Christian warfare. By it we prove ourselves not to be enemies of the cross of Christ. By it we avert the scourges of divine justice. By it we gain strength against the princes of darkness, for it shields us with heavenly help.

Last year, Traditionalists like myself were denounced by establishment influencers for committing the grave sin of defending the Catholic faith while Leo waged war upon it daily.>On a Crisis Magazine podcast, Kennedy Hall, Eric Sammons, and Timothy Flanders warned of “Trad doomerism.”>Taylor Marshall, who just days before the conclave said a Prevost election would be the “worst case scenario,” encouraged his listeners to be hopeful about him while at the same time rebuking Trads who were “disrespectful” of Leo by “dogging” him on the internet all the time.

Radical Fidelity – More False Faith, Filth, and Fiends from the Synodal Church

I have an honest and sincere question. Literally not a day goes by when you consult any Catholic news platform without encountering a whole barrage of dispatches from the synodal wasteland about the latest scandals. It is daily, if not hourly, by now.>For a Catholic commentator, and more importantly, as a watchman and my brother’s keeper, the garbage born from the false religion nesting in Rome comes like an overwhelming deluge. Some days I hardly know what to report on and what to leave out. >So here is my question. Or rather, my questions. If you are a follower of this new religion—or worse, one of its promoters—how do you explain it all away? How do you defend it? How do you sleep at night? How do you keep telling yourself it is Catholicism? How do you convince yourself, and those in your care, that Christ is pleased by it?

Ecumenical Carnival Madness in German ‘Catholic’ Church

>
It’s carnival season, and in Germany, that means it’s time for the annual “Fools’ Masses” or at least “Fools’ Liturgies”. Oftentimes these absurdities come in an ecumenical package, meaning it’s Novus Ordo adherents (‘Catholics’) and Lutherans celebrating together.
