Rampolla: Worse than a Freemason - Pax Orbis
The figure of Cardinal Mariano Rampolla is well known among those who take an interest in the inner workings of the Roman Curia, especially in events surrounding papal conclaves. He was famously very close to being elected Pope after the death of Pope Leo XIII in 1903, when he was vetoed on behalf of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. At that time, only three nations retained that ancient power of veto: Austria, Germany and Italy. Even so, Emperor Franz Joseph had been reluctant to intervene in such a solemn matter. He had no choice, however, once presented with evidence that Rampolla was at least associated with Masonry, if not a fully-fledged Freemason himself. The evidence came from Monsignor Jouin, founder of the International Review of Secret Societies; a priest who dedicated his life to exposing Masonry and its associated ideology. It is said he went first to the Cardinals, but was ignored and so he took his evidence instead to the Emperor.This led to the saintly Pius X being elected …
Bishop Schneider: FSSPX Consecrations Do Not Necessarily Constitute "Schism"
Bishop Athanasius Schneider has issued his first public statement since Leo XIV declared six FSSPX bishops excommunicated on July 2, published on Diane Montagna's Substack. Schneider had previously appealed for liturgical peace, meeting with Pope Leo XIV in December 2025 and Cardinal Parolin a little over a week before the July 1 episcopal consecration.
Bishop Schneider's central claim: in an extraordinary Church crisis, fidelity to unambiguous doctrine and traditional liturgy can outweigh obedience to ecclesiastical law.
He opens with St. Athanasius, excommunicated by Pope Liberius in 357 for refusing communion with Arian bishops the Pope himself had recognized under imperial pressure. Athanasius was later canonized as a Doctor of the Church; Liberius was never canonized. Schneider treats Écône as a modern parallel — a forced choice between canonical obedience and doctrinal integrity.
Bishop Schneider blames two distortions for narrowing this question: "legalism" (treating Church law …More
Did Leo XIV Appoint a Freemason to the Vatican?
On August 13, Leo XIV appointed Umberto Longo, Director of the Italian Historical Institute for the Middle Ages in Rome and Professor of Medieval History at the secular Sapienza University of Rome, as a member of the Pontifical Committee for Historical Sciences.
The online footprint of Umberto Longo repeatedly places that name - and, in later cases, an identifiable Professor Longo - within the institutional environment of Italian Freemasonry and the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite. The examples span a decade.
2013 - Scottish Rite, Lazio: The Masonic publication LOGOS identifies a certain “Fr. Oratore Umberto Longo 4°” as an officer of the Loggia di Perfezione Maestri Segreti “Giano” in Rome.
The publication introduces a series of texts under the heading: “Le Tavole del Fr. Oratore Umberto Longo 4°.” The abbreviation Fr. is used throughout for Fratello - “Brother” - while the number identifies the Scottish Rite degree. More importantly, the issue contains the official 2013 officers …More

By Marc J de Castella In my recent article, “A Life Changing Blessing,” I recounted some details concerning the Catholic settlement at “St Benedict’s” in the Upper Yarra Valley, Victoria, Australia. I described the polemics arising from the post-conciliar “reforms,” most notably, the polarising impact of the radical liturgical changes imposed upon the Melbourne Archdiocese in the early to mid 1970’s. Eager to avoid the unpleasant atmosphere at Rev. Heffey’s community chapel, which was fraught with tension, some families, (including mine), began attending the Novus Ordo at St Joseph’s Catholic Parish in the nearby town of Yarra Junction.

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 …

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.

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.

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

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 …
