Kwasniewski’s Tombergian Church - Pax Orbis
Peter Kwasniewski’s espousal of a double persona, the orthodox Catholic one and the heterodox occultist one, is a worldview, not just a tactic. Valentin Tomberg, whose work Meditations on the Tarot initiated Kwasniewski, explains how this double life of ideas can be maintained without apparent self-harm. Peter Kwasniewski’s endorsement of Tomberg’s Meditations The book is seminal for him, a “spiritual reflection”: “I read it back in college and it drew me closer not only to Our Lord, but also to Catholic Tradition. I know many others for whom it has exercised a similar apostolic function.” Peter Kwasniewski, High Church Modernism and Occultism, Part I This endorsement of Tomberg continues. He recently published a work overtly centred entirely on Tomberg’s teachings – Mysticism, Magic and Monasteries, by Sebastian Morello. In an “exchange of letters”, Sebastian Morello asserts: “ … in the decades to come, the works of [occultists and esotericists] Jean Hani, Valentin Tomberg, Jean …

Latin Marian novena for August - Pax Orbis
August is traditionally the month dedicated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary , so it is the perfect time to pray Marian prayers like this novena. While there are many beautiful English prayers and acts of consecration to Our Lady under the title of the Immaculate Conception, their Latin counterparts are hard to come by. Instead, the following Latin novena prayer to Our Lady is offered. Novena to the Blessed Virgin Mary in English Novena ad Beatam Mariam Virginem Reparation to the Immaculate Heart Novena to the Blessed Virgin Mary in English In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

The consequences are evident. Click image to watch the video Fr. Somerville’s letter begins: Dear Fellow Catholics in the Roman Rite, I am a priest who for over ten years collaborated in a work that became a notable harm to the Catholic Faith. I wish now to apologize before God and the Church and to renounce decisively my personal sharing in that damaging project.

They presented him with a ticket to Europe. Whilst there he went to Lourdes where he met some of the priests from the Diocese of Campos in Brazil.

The Dicastery for Evangelisation is presided over directly by the Roman pontiff. The role of the dicastery, according to its constitution: ‘serves the work of evangelisation, so that Christ, the light of the nations, may be known and witnessed to by word and deed, and the Church, his mystical Body, may be built up.’ One problem becomes immediately obvious: Peter Comensoli has little idea of what constitutes the Catholic Church.

51 He has shown strength with his arm;
he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts;

A life-changing blessing - Pax Orbis
Sometimes God puts a desire deep into our heart as a means of increasing our faith, teaching us to wait patiently for the blessing He always had planned for us. Undoubtedly, financial struggles present the greatest challenge and difficulty for most people today. Families are particularly burdened with this trial. Nevertheless, these Divine words constitute a very consoling, beautiful invitation. If we prioritise God, striving to know, love and serve Him above everything, we will more readily dispose ourselves to His Merciful Goodness. By Marc J de Castella Cold grey clouds enveloped the bleak, late afternoon sun. The feeble light was distant, aloof and uninviting above the rain-sodden grasslands. Extending to the lush, undulating foothills in the far distance, they finally met the dark rugged mountain range.

Who is Rejecting Vatican II? - Pax Orbis
This extract from the book, Apologia Pro Marcel Lefebvre, by Michael Davies, is as true now as it was when it was written in 1979. It asks why Ecône was one of the few seminaries in the entire world (at the time, perhaps the only one) which adhered to directives of Vatican II regarding the formation of seminarians. From The Condemnation: Chapter 5 of Apologia Pro Marcel Lefebvre, Volume I. The injustice of the attack against Mgr. Lefebvre and Ecône is made very clear when some examination is made of precisely what is meant by a “rejection of the decisions of the Second Vatican Council.” I have provided considerable documentation in my book Pope John’s Council to prove that what are often passed off as decisions of the Council are, in fact, aberrations emanating from the post-conciliar commissions invested with the power to implement the conciliar documents. Only too often it will be found that not a single word can be quoted from any Council document authorizing these aberrations, …

Jewish Messianism as the undercurrent of the errors of Russia — this was the light I hoped to shed with my Pax Orbis article of March 23, 2026 and which I now continue to explore. by Jakob Soefting It took its starting point in Dr. Douglas Haugen’s recent book Saints of the Apocalypse (2026) and then developed into a sort of wildly annotated, selective bibliography of various works which have approached this subject. If we were to expand on the topic of Jewish Messianism in general, i.e., to leave the specifics of Fatima temporarily aside, I would suggest an even more recent book, one published after my article: True Israel and False Judaism (DeReggio1, 2026, 216 pp). This important and interesting study is by the prominent French SSPX theologian, Fr. Jean-Michel Gleize, who was for many years professor of ecclesiology and dogma at Écône.

The Virtue of Meekness - Pax Orbis
The Virtue of Meekness - Pax Orbis
Meekness, also known as clemency, is related to the virtue of humility and provides the self-control necessary for us to master feelings of anger. In the course of our work, our apostolates, and of family life, there are many things that can make us angry, whether that be true injustices or merely the usual clashes, large and small, which we experience when dealing with other people. The virtue of meekness allows us to feel peace as we fulfil the duties of our state in life and ensures our judgement is not clouded by an excess of anger and emotion. This section on meekness is taken from Chapter 8 of The School of Christian Perfection by Saint Alphonsus de Liguori. (Click here to find meditations on the other moral virtues.) ‘Meekness’ by Eustache Le Sueur. SOURCE The Virtue of Meekness Humility and meekness were the favorite virtues of Jesus Christ, and He recommended them in a particular manner to His disciples when He said: “Learn of me, because I am meek, and humble of heart.” (…
Fatima and Russia - Pax Orbis
The war in Ukraine confronts Russia with the dilemma of its schism from the Church (and therefore from the Christian West to which it was once united – it did not definitively split from Rome until the fourteenth century) in a way it has never experienced in its history. This schism now runs through the middle of “Russian” society itself; Kiev, which is still considered to be Russian’s original cultural heartland by Russian nationalism, has committed itself to the West forever. The only way of avoiding Russia’s permanent schism from its Kievan origins is that predicted in Fatima’s message: conversion. Russia at the edge of the abyss The recent attack by several Russian drones on the Cathedral of the Dormition in Kiev – starting a fire that almost destroyed the building – is one more sign that Moscow does not expect to succeed in its invasion of Ukraine.

Points of references here ("West" that abandoned Christianity and today Ukraine as corresponding to "Kievan origins") are false.
Moreover, even if we assume the first (false) point - it is not true that today Ukraine has committed itself to the West forever.
Demons of the past that were, to some extent, chased out from Germany, are alive in Ukraine (cult of Bandera, Shukhevych and their monstrous, satanic, neo-pagan heritage).
The West again (as Hitler's Germany during WWII) is tolerating this monstrosity, even enkindling (as they hold them useful for present moment i.e. Ukraine war with Russia, just as they were feeding the Soviets during WWII). …More
This is opium.
"Russian foreign policy is also committed to cultivating factions in the West."
This is an example of a vacant conscience projecting what they are doing to their enemy. Like when the Democrats accused their enemies of what they are doing. The zionists have been doing this for decades. Now Trump has incorporated it.
LISTEN: SSPX Priest’s Excellent Homily After The Excommunication
LISTEN: SSPX Priest’s Excellent Homily After The Excommunication
In response to the consecrations of four SSPX bishops last Wednesday, Pope Leo XIV has taken exceedingly strong measures. He has declared that bishops, priests, and all formal adherents of the SSPX are excommunicated. That means those who “participate habitually in the celebrations of the Society of St. Pius X and formally share formally their doctrinal positions.” These measures are extremely harsh because the Vatican has refused to use the penalty of excommunication for many very serious situations in the Church in the past 60 years. You can deny the Catholic faith publicly, you can offer very scandalous Masses, you can show approval for same sex couples, for divorce and other forms of immorality.But these actions have not resulted in excommunication by those who have done them, in the Church, since the Second Vatican Council. And, certainly, it is extreme and novel for the Vatican to not only excommunicate the bishops of the SSPX, but to excommunicate hundreds of thousands of Catholic …

These unjust documents refer to the July 1st, 2026 episcopal consecrations of the Society of Saint Pius X and impose the penalty of excommunication on the two consecrating bishops as well as the four new bishops. Further, the Note explains that the faithful who ‘formally adhere’ to the SSPX are also excommunicated and to be considered schismatics.

The "disarming of language" applies to the faithful readers of *Magnifica Humanitas*, while Leo's "fatherly heart" arms itself with threats. He intends to withhold heavenly graces from the faithful of the FSSPX ("invalid sacraments"). Yet he could bypass excommunication, just as he did with the heretical, communist-appointed bishops of the Chinese National Church—a body that does not even acknowledge the papacy in principle. Alternatively, he could acknowledge canon law in its ENTIRETY: no penalty applies in cases of apprehended necessity (Canon 1323, No. 7 CIC).

As the episcopal consecrations draw near, we are reminded of another, even more urgent and vital Consecration, the absence of which could be said to necessitate these extraordinary actions of the Society of Saint Pius X.

In an interview with Joe McClane, Eric Sammons of Crisis Magazine made the outrageous claim that he would prefer to have Fr. James Martin SJ1 hear his confession over a priest of the SSPX, should the latter be excommunicated after the upcoming Consecrations. Mr Sammons, referred to by some as the ‘godfather’ of traditional Catholicism, gives his reasons in the short video below. In it, he digs a hole for himself and displays his bitter prejudice against the Society. For the benefit of Eric Sammons and those who may be confused by his comments, here are some excerpts from Credo, the catechism by Bishop Athanasius Schneider. [This contemporary but traditional catechism has been chosen for its accessibility.] The references begin with what is known to be the approach taken by James Martin to the sacraments, then move onto how those errors alone would render his confessions invalid. Finally we look at some points regarding schism and excommunication. All of this assumes that Martin’s own …

Why the SSPX is necessary - Pax Orbis
. Any measures taken against the SSPX and its ministry of the sacraments would be null and void. Not because nobody else has the faith, but because it is the main force in the Church today that embodies every aspect of Catholic doctrine without dissimulation: preventing that is the intention behind potential censures (and confirming latae sententiae penalties), and one that invalidates them. The crisis is the Church is not an episode of Pope Francis’ papacy. Instead, as Bishop Athanasius Schneider said recently, “ … since Vatican II, the popes up to Leo have unfortunately made certain affirmations, thanks be to God, not definitive, but ambiguous and difficult to reconcile with the clarity of the entire two thousand year tradition of the Church”. 1 The SSPXX exists because it cannot accept the conciliar orientation that is at odds with the magisterium of all time.

By now, most will have heard Pope Leo’s short, but direct, comments on the decision by the SSPX to consecrate new bishops without his approval. A video from the official Vatican media outlet, Rome Reports, includes those comments and can be viewed here. The Pope’s words were as follows: “I am still considering making another appeal to say, don’t do this, let’s try to live in communion within the Church. But it’s their choice. One must understand what it means for them. For the Church, certainly, division among Christians is always a painful matter, but they refuse to accept certain fundamental elements of the Church and starting with several points of the Vatican Council. If they make those choices, I’m sorry but we must move forward.” “Fundamental elements of the Church” What are those ‘fundamental elements of the Church’ that the Pope claims are rejected by the Society? Dom Alcuin Reid, Prior of the Monastère Saint-Benoît in Brignoles, France, explains this succinctly: “The “fundamental …
