Francis, who praised and honored enemy of God, Martin Luther, a heresiarch and schismatic, now prosecutes Vigano for "Schism" .. nonfeasance, misfeasonce, and drama on the way.
Discover the dangers of modernism and its subversion of the priesthood in this thought-provoking sermon by Father Vincent Micelli, S.J. delivered on the Feast of the Sacred Heart at the 1977 Thirteenth Annual National Wanderer Forum. Learn how modernism attacks the high priesthood of Jesus Christ and undermines the teachings of the Catholic Church. Gain insights into the false concepts of moral permissiveness, uncritical dialogue, and irrational ecumenism that are plaguing the Church today.
If you’ve ever wondered why the Miracle of the Sun was what Our Lady chose for the finale to Fatima, then this podcast is for you — from the Errors of Russia and the symbols of the enemies of God, she was sending a message, Old Testament style. Even down to the Egyptian and like…
It is the 90s all over again – but despite the smoke of prophecy-mania afflicting us today, there are some curious prophecies from Anne Catherine Emmerich and commentary by Yves DuPont, as well as some quotes from Masonic sources in 1955 conspire to make strange explanations of the Lutheran Synodality we see making democratic “collegiality”…
The USCCB Synod Synthesis is a product of Game Theory, McKinsey and Co Communications, and a lot of Filtered Messaging designed to stuff you, faithful Catholic, into meaninglessness.
Let’s sit down and chat about this mess today, and how we’ve come to the end of the modernist climb and marxist normalization of the Church. The “listening church” of synodality appears to be nothing more than an enactment of Richard McBrien’s Catholicism. How the shock cycle of media today seems to feed the balkanization of…
Pope Francis said that we Traditional Catholics should not make a battlefield of the liturgy. Because he complains of Catholics hanging on to outdated things and old ideas, it is like he is saying that people who want a united and sacred liturgy (traditionalists or trads) disrupt the purpose of liturgy... who are the real combatants? why is this deja vu? and what did Father Hardon say we can do about it?
Nicodemus supported Jesus, but had to hide lest the compromised clergy then make him disappear. Just as Fatima secret said of today - two popes?
Was Friday's consecration what Our Lady Asks of us today? The 2d secret of Fatima, history, and Akita, imply that we are not doing what she wants...
Cincinnati’s past ignoring heterodoxy and heresy - allowing error to fester - have caught up to it as Archbishop Schnurr rolls out a PR consultant led “Beacons of Light” crisis communications program designed to steer public opinion, but there is a much better (and far cheaper) way he could be fixing the problem instead of papering it over.
Continuing the discussion on informed consent, Catholic morality, and medical "mandates" in the midst of media mayhem sowing fear and misinformation.
Part 2 of the discussion on Catholic moral teaching on medical treatments, your strict duty to avoid harmful/deadly activity, and Title VII protections of your religious beliefs. How to express your religious exemption.
Can a Bishop Mandate you to undergo a health procedure that has a risk of death, and against what you'd decide for yourself? Why are bishops playing doctor anyway?
Learn about what Mary's Assumption can tell you about your own assumption some day, the need to do penance and keep your body as God wants, following her example. It can even influence your thinking about COVID and whether anyone should be "Forced" to charity,
We'll explore the uncanny use of the word "unity" in the motu proprio, the letter, Cardinal Cupich's statement on the Motu Proprio, and how he used in 2002 when he padlocked the Latin Mass parish out of their church for Easter Triduum, "as an invitation to be in unity with him."
News about the Motu Proprio issued by Pope Francis and how it was important to vanquish this greatest threat to the Church today! (tongue in cheek interviews included)
At this last USCCB meeting, the Spring 2021 meeting, setting the agenda resulted in a parliamentary question when a retired Bishop wished to add something to the agenda. The parliamentarian is Archbishop Schnurr, the Archbishop of Cincinnati. It was the spring meeting of the NCCB/USCCB in 1977 where the agenda discussion resulted in a parliamentary…
You will be surprised at this one thing that happened at the USCCB meeting — and we have Archbishop Sample to thank for it. Is this what Bishops are supposed to be doing? Naturally, there was something dumb done right after Archbishop Sample spoke — now some bishops want “They/them” inclusive language in sacramental texts.…
On June 13, at Fatima, in 1917, Our Lady spoke to the children and introduced the Fatima Prayer said after each mystery of the Rosary. She also told Sr. Lucy that she would spread devotion to her Immaculate Heart (yesterday’s feast on the new calendar). We take a stroll through history to see that Moscow…
The Sacred Heart is one of two weapons left for us in these times. Here's why a new statement on Communion from the Bishops won't matter.

The solution to women priests; Women Priests, Inclusive Language was from the US Bishops (ICEL); Selecting Pronouns; Nat. Cath Reporter is the epitome of all insanity; Fordham University advertising to women priests; announcements; China wants to stop the destruction of their young boys; and, China appears to have removed the role of the Pope in selecting bishops for China... "No Jesuit Source, please". and why AMDG?
What stands out in your mind from 2020? "baffling and reprehensible"? The chickens of the communion in the hand fraud and "follow your heart" modernism have come home to roost for the US Catholic Church. The bus to fantasyland has run off the cliff. Next year:Judgment.
When Our Lord was in the garden, He experienced what we call the agony. It was the agony in the Garden. In the last blog post on Bellarmine Forum, we learn that a chief point of St. Raphael’s speech is to tell us: “God tries those who love Him.” His Son Jesus was no…
Leo XIII was tied into Fatima and Akita and he saw that St. Michael would be the one to halt the destruction of the Church -- but this would need to happen first.
A shocking event happens at Mass and a statue of Our Lady begins bleeding from a wound on the statue's right hand. It is tied directly to Communion in the Hand. Mother Church validated the miraculous event as well.
What people say and what they really believe are often different. There was the famous English free-thinker, Hobbes. He used to stridently assert his whole life that there was neither God nor angel, still less was there a devil or hell. Despite all his strident insistence, however, he had the greatest dread of evil spirits; even in his…
Our Lord does not always think it is time for the sword, but when it is, His angels are fast to use it. The events at the Hagia Sophia seem to indicate time is up. Buckle up.
Father Rothrock was sent to Siberia - we look at Judases who balk at worship of God and suggest helping the poor instead - Gramsci's transformed Marxist Church
Think you can ignore Fatima and Akita? Maybe -- but be careful what you say about them (Fr. Miceli makes this surprising warning).
Akita - Bishops that compromise, riots, racism, utopia, Vigano's "deep church, the shame of the Passion, Apostles don't encourage utopia and riots, but Barrabas did - as do the Marxist Bishops seeking utopia by liberation theology
On this Memorial Day, we present Part 2 of our memorial of those priests who have been erased from memory of AmChurch through specious dismissals and events designed to impugn them with ignominy.
On this memorial day, in addition to remembering the soldiers who laid down their lives for love of us, let us also call to mind those priests who have been erased from memory of AmChurch through specious dismissals and events designed to impugn them with ignominy inferred by omissions in the public story.
Mark-up your Bible to fix Bishops-math and get ready for a discussion of "De Novo Catholics" - an adaptation of Fr. Miceli's "new catholics" for today
A quick update on the devotionals channel, China destroying churches again, Fatima, the two Fatima visionaries in the Spanish Flu pandemic, and what you can do about it!
The Vatican outlawed the Ministerial-Industrial Complex of Parallel Ordination otherwise known as busybodies waddling around the sanctuary at Mass... but your Bishop can't get rid of their dirty hands on your Communion, even over the coronavirus.
Put a spring back in your spiritual step! Devotion to the Rosary tells one thing about your future. Opposing it can bring peril and death.
I remember being in a parking lot, walking with a shopping bag in my hand one time. Right in front of me, a woman fell to the ground. I watched, and I didn’t know what to do. It’s like that sometimes, where no matter our training, seeing it happen in front of us can shock us, and…
Our Lady of Fatima gave us the blueprint we can see when she said, “if men don’t repent, Russia will spread her errors through the world… but in the end my Immaculate Heart will triumph” The Rhyme of Pagan Synod Openings and Ceiling Collapses Last year, we saw the Youth Synod open with Pope Francis…
God entrusts a special angel to each person, known as a guardian angel. They have 4 unique purposes, but we should do these easy things to avail ourselves of the help and friendship of this gift from God.
Truth is stranger than fiction and I’m going to make you question what is really happening in the Amazon Synod, just 5 days away. The Amazons Were a Warring Tribe of Women We need to go back to ancient history and the origin of the Amazon. The daughter of Aries, the Greek god of war,…
St. Francis de Sales in Introduction to the devout Life: Make yourself familiar with the angels, and behold them frequently in spirit; for, without being seen, they are present with you. Today, on the feast of the archangels, Pope Francis unveiled a new Sculpture titled “Angels Unawares”…. it is for the “World Day for Migrants and refugees”. The…
Symbolic Realities of Revolution vs. #UnitetheClans Real Presence. The Unite the Clans movement from the Remnant’s Michael Matt is a good thing, but it won’t win so long as it is focused on Vatican II. The Revolution afoot, those aligned with the devil in the Church, fight us with “symbolic realities” and “symbols of community.”…
Two Jesuit-educated alums consider whether the Society of Jesus is marching under "the other standard", secularization, how to find refuge and thrive in the devil's world we find ourselves in today.
Corpus Christi is a prefigurement of that parade we'll be part of in Heaven. Topics include: "Clinging to the ashes of the past" -- You can have you latin, but just not in the Mass -- the "eucharist" is a verb (!) -- Priest on Twitter who wonders if people make an idol of the Blessed Sacrament
A short update episode with a great passage on St. Joseph, for his feast day today. What to do if you are in an area with no good option for Mass and the Sacraments.
Your host, John B. Manos, discusses how the fear of causing schism, offending people, or driving people out of the Church has caused us to become comfortable with error in the Church. This is the detent with the Devil at the table. In this stagnation, he covers some of the things that are upside-down today……
Ever wondered why purgatory is so messy? And why do Protestants think it is wrong? Join in the discussion with Landon DePasquale and John Manos on Purgatory, Luther, and the Fr. Weinandy departure from the USCCB. St. Ambrose of Milan described it: “Before the resurrected lies a fire, which all of them must cross. This…
In today’s “prepper” society, we are often told to prepare for calamity by purchasing survival rations, and exchanging our cash for gold. That’s because they want us to be ready for the calamities they believe are inevitable. The Church has always had a “prepper” society, though. With November, when harvests are in and the season’s…
Chances are you know many lapsed Catholics in your life. The statistics would suggest we each know at least four. I bet you know many more. So how do we get them back into the pews? How do we get them reconciled with God and living a life of grace again? How can we reconnect…
There’s only 125 of these priests in the United States. And there’s only a few over a 1000 worldwide. Father John Paul Zeller MFVA joins John Manos on today’s episode to discuss confession, God’s mercy, and the special graces given to him by a Papal mandate. Father John Paul is a missionary of mercy. He…
On the eve of the 100th anniversary of the last Fatima apparition, Sr. Rita Marie, a Sister Servant of the Eternal Word, joins us to discuss whether we are done with Fatima. She details many things about Portugal in 1917 that you never hear anyone discuss. These give a backdrop into the strategy of Our…
In episode 6, Landon DePasquale and John B. Manos talk about the drag that depressing Church news can have on one’s spiritual life and how to avoid it. You may not even realize how this problem creeps into your life… Spiritual vampires and how they suck all the energy out of you by dragging you…

In this episode of the Bellarmine Forum podcast, John B. Manos discusses with you the two standards in today’s context: On one side, God is a Person (the Triune Person) – a living person who has thoughts, loves you, and became man. On the other side, God is a mere idea, a concept. Manos applies…
Landon DePasquale and Manos sit down to talk about his trip to the Catholic church from low church evangelical roots. Manos discovers that he stammers in these podcasts, but gets awestruck as they discuss how the Blessed Mother has a military plan that involves flanking the Turkic belt (by which he means the Hunnic expanse).…
In this second episode of our re-launched Bellarmine Forum podcast, Manos sits down with Friar Anthony Mary, a conventual Franciscan in Chicago. They talk about St. Maximilian Kolbe in 1917, and events in Italy where Masons marched onto the Vatican singing hymns that Lucifer will reign and make the Pope their slave. Inspired by the…
