The Hermit of Antipolo

Here is my response to the Vatican’s saying Mary is not co-Redemptrix. This title has been accepted since time immemorial, and the Vatican has no authority from preventing anyone from using it. The modernist, heretical, protestantizing Vatican hierarchy may claim this, but we conservatives and traditionals claim otherwise. --- MARY IS CO-REDEMPTRIX Mary’s role as co-Redemptrix has long been recognized in the Church, since the 14 th century. Today the Vatican rejects this titl

Contrary to modernists’ claims, not all religions lead to the divine. There is only one true faith, and that is Christianity. There is only one true God, and that is Jesus, who established the Christian Church. While it is OK for religions to dialogue, especially with a view to peace in the world, our Church should in no way suggest that other religions are on the same level as Christianity. In fact, Jesus’ mandate is to convert pagans to the faith and to make disciples of al

I hoped the whole aspect of synodality would disappear with the demise of Pope Francis. But it seems Pope Leo XIV is picking up. Here’s my take on why synodality is not for the Catholic Church. ----- UNDER THE FIG TREE (#61) A hermit observing the world from his cave PATRIARCHY VERSUS SYNODALITY Since Pope Francis invented it, the big thing among liberals in the Church is synodality. It is supposed to be a new way, THE way, of being Church. We look on synodality as compared t

Jesus is the Truth, and the Church he established contains the full truth of the gospel and Christian living. Now indeed no one person possesses the whole truth, and through the centuries there have been lots of conflicting interpretations about matters of the faith. But the Church does have the elements that can assure the truth. There are the Bible (the very word of God), age-old tradition of the faith as practiced, and the Magisterium (teaching authority) of the Church. Un

Wow. An exorcism has been performed at St Peter’s Basilica by a heroic old Albanian Cardinal. Indeed, the Vatican has been infiltrated by the evil one. This situation has been spoken of many times by the Blessed Virgin Mary through various visionaries and mystics.  There is a spiritual fight for the very heart of the the Catholic Church, with heterodox prelates spreading heretical teachings and practices, overturning age-old Catholic tradition, and allowing the influx of evil

The Vatican supports the green agenda of the globalist elite. It also continues with useless synodality. It also appoints liberals including perverts to Vatican offices. It also provided King Charles, head of the Anglican Church, a permanent chair at the papal basilica (it is a good way of promoting the protestantizing of our Church). How about just focusing on the authentic gospel and preach that to a liberal immoral world? So many liberal causes but not enough of Christ. Do

Pope Leo XIV praises Don Lorenzo Milani, a priest who fantasized about pedophelia. He was cited as a role model by Pope Francis and regarded as a prophet by Pope Leo. Milani was actually a sexual predator and a pervert, and proud of it. Pope Leo defined Milani as a witness and interpreter of social and economic transformation, who had as his motto, “I care.” Ah, that explains it. He is a liberal and loves people (including young boys whom he abused). He is a nice and kind and

Opus Dei is a conservative Church group, and has done a lot of good. Its spirituality is solid. It promotes lay holiness. Its priests are not liberal (and not gay). Its schools provide a strong contrast to liberal Catholic universities. Pope Francis first intervened into the affairs of Opus Dei, interfering in what was a highly effective prelature, initiating structural reform to limit its autonomy, to suit his own liberal biases. Now Pope Leo is set to break up Opus Dei? It
