Worshippers at a Mass organised by the Society of Saint Pius X in Switzerland on Wednesday

Vatican: Followers of Global Catholic Sect [Society of St Pius X] Excommunicated! (3.7.2026)

More recently, efforts had been made to reconcile with the SSPX, but the Vatican’s response to this week’s events was more aggressive than before, and more severe than predicted.

It was widely expected that Wednesday’s event in Geneva would lead to excommunication of the bishops involved.

But the excommunication of all those lay people who continue to be a part of SSPX was a surprise to many, with the traditionalist group now as far from the centre of power of the Roman Catholic Church as it has ever been.

Excommunication is one of the harshest punishments that can be given by the Church, effectively expelling the offender from the religion and excluding them from Catholic life.

It means a baptised follower is “out of communion” with the Church – meaning they cannot receive the sacraments, for example going to confession, or get married within the Roman Catholic Church.

The Vatican said on Thursday: “The sacred ministers of the Society of St Pius X administer the sacraments illicitly, while the sacrament of penance they administer and the marriages they witness are invalid.”

It means SSPX members now have to choose whether to stay part of a group that is in “schism”, or leave behind the things they believe are right in order to stay part of the Catholic Church.

However it is clear that many SSPX members believe it is the Vatican that has moved away from true doctrine, not them.

The UK Government Has Moved Recently Against the Far-Right!

Why Corbyn Cannot Accept Galloway as an Ally! (30.9.2025)

The jury is still out regarding what drove Galloway from the warm embrace of Lenin to that of Trotsky – but many assume it has something to do with Islamic theology and ideology (both inherently anti-gay). Of course, Galloway denies this – claiming he is a practicing Catholic – whilst ignoring the fact that the Catholic Church has supported the right-wing for decades, if not centuries. So, take your pick – which deluded Judeo-Christian ideology is it? Others point-out that Galloway was 31-years old when his current partner was born (there is a 31-year gap between them). Many observe that Galloway’s viewpoints shifted to the right when he married his latest partner. His Stone Wall Award flew out the window when an Indonesian perspective made itself known. At one-point, Galloway kept falsely stating that his MOATS podcast (a name taking the piss out of Saddam Hussein) had its biggest audience in China – but whilst telling this lie – he did not realise that the Western internet is “banned” in China and that no one would have an interest in an English bigot espousing Trotskyism.

Old Ch'an Dao Gongfu

Ch’an Dao: Confucian Lineage! (8.11.2024)

Of course, the modern world is a very different place to the ancient (feudal) world from which Confucius lived, but nevertheless, so much of modern Chinese culture is premised on just this type of social organisation and spiritual coordination. This is true even when gongfu Styles are accessed through “money” – rather than through “virtue”. This attitude of “Respect” and “Harmony” has permeated the culture of Korea, Japan, and Okinawa – with the latter once being a distant part of the Chinese Empire. By issuing his “Hamon” – Sensei Higaonna is proving that his Style of Goju Ryu Karate-Do is “Chinese” in origination – as indeed it is (premised upon the White Crane gongfu of Fujian province).

China: Mainland Harshly Criticises Tory Attempt to “Palm” Liz Truss Off Onto Taiwan! (18.5.2023)

“Taiwan independence” activities and support from foreign forces are the greatest threat to peace across the Taiwan Strait, the embassy said, adding Truss and the like are colluding with secessionist forces to provoke confrontation and escalate tensions across the Taiwan Strait.

The Taiwan question is at the core of China’s core interests. Any violation of the one-China principle will have serious consequences for China-UK relations, it said, urging Truss to stop making political shows out of the Taiwan question.

Wang Wenbin, spokesman of the Foreign Ministry, said on Wednesday afternoon China’s position on the Taiwan question is consistent and clear. Wang said he also noticed there has been a flurry of criticism in the UK about Truss’s move, calling the trip showmanship and a disservice to her country.

China: PLA Coast Guard Explains Diaoyu Islands Expulsion of Intruding Japanese Vessels! (16.3.2023)

It was the sheer material and psychological might of the Soviet Red Army that ‘liberated’ China from the malicious grip of the Kwantung Army of Imperial Japan during a few weeks of fighting in late 1945! The Soviet Red Army also took various islands North of Mainland Japan (areas often ‘disputed’ as to ownership during Czarist days). From 1945-1991 – entire generations of ethnic Japanese people were brought up within the warm embrace of Soviet ‘Internationalist’ Socialism – and yet very little is heard about this in the West today – primarily upon the grounds that the US does not want the outside world to know of its success! Instead, after pointlessly dropping to atomic bombs on an already supine Japan during late 1945 – and invading Mainland Japan thereafter – Japan’s loss of self-determining ‘freedom’ is now evident as Japan now pursues a US anti-China foreign policy in the region as if it were its own! The objective is clear – through this ‘racist’ activity the US seeks to prevent Japan, China and North Korea from ‘uniting’ around a common anti-US racism policy – whilst exposing this US neo-imperialist strategy for what it is and expelling from the region for good!
