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 Term "Martyr" Originally Meant to "Bear Objective Witness" - Not Die for an Ethereal Belief!

UK: Examining & Deconstructing the Greek Term “Martyr”! (29.6.2026)

In modern usage – there is the disturbing trend of an individual being blown into non-functioning pieces being described as a “Martyr” – or performing the function of a “Martyr” (this is a term claimed by political systems regardless of hue – and all three religions of the Abrahamic persuasion). I understand that it is a human-habit to try make it seem that a pointless death possessed some type of ethereal meaning – but does it really? Dying for a noble cause is certainly acceptable – but the cause – whatever that may be (as noble causes tend to be a relative matter) – does not in any way alter the demeaning process of hot pieces of metal being forcibly penetrated through the body. Surely, it would be a far more noble cause to “remove” the ignorance from human society – and the human-mind – that causes all forms of oppressive death, be it through weaponry, abuse, torture, injury, illness, or starvation. Why not permanently change the basis of the situation – rather than passively give-in to – and normalise the oppression? In that sense, the original Chinese-language concept of 烈士 (Lie Shi)  is much more preferable. 

Where Are the Zombies?

Biblical Studies: Who Wrote the Four Gospels? Not Who You Think! (27.5.2026)

If this actually had happened we would have incredible eye-witness accounts penned by Jews, Romans, and followers of Jesus (reformed Jews) – but no – there are no records of any of this occurring and many in the Church find such claims to be embarrassing for their faith. I suspect a group of non-Jewish Greeks wanted to be associated with the otherwise xenophobic and racist Jewish theology (which had evolved out of Babylonian philosophy and history) and concocted a miraculous story of a “magic-man” that no one outside the movement ever met or independently verified as existing. Jesus the “magic-man” made it acceptable for non-Jews to pretend to be Jews – and the Jews hated it just as much as the gentiles loved it! Whatever the case, no one knows who originally wrote the four gospels included in the received Bible (there are many more discovered in the 20th century which are now available for you to study).

Shroud of Turin: Latest “Science” Continues to Prove Cloth Not “Supernatural”! (2.4.2026)

Even the Catholic Church declared the Shroud of Turin “Fake” in the Middle Ages – but the modern Vatican likes to play the guessing-game in a dishonest attempt to convince rationally thinking people that the sky-spirit it a) generates and b) venerates – is objectively “real”. What else would you expect from an institution that openly and surreptitiously supports fascism and Nazism, etc? Indeed, the Catholic Church has spent far more of its resources on safely relocating Nazi German War Criminals “out of Europe” – than it has proving the Shroud to be literally real – this fact alone demonstrates the priorities of the Vatican. What does the latest “scientific” research tell us about Jesus? Fasten your seat-belts – it’s going to be an exhilarating ride. To date, the Church can confidently confirm the following about Jesus – the “Christ”.

UK: Weird News from England – Shakespeare Puts Kibosh on “Young Bible Revival” Claim! (27.3.2026)

Deary, deary me – as if there is not already enough problems in the world manufactured by the belief in non-existent “sky-spirits”! We already have (allegedly) George Galloway converting to Islam to marry a woman 30-years his junior (ge gas an effective set of lawyers in Northern Ireland – so we must tread carefully), and British academic David Miller posting that “Iran will save Western civilisation”! You can top this with disgruntled former Labour MP – Chris Williamson – who follows a similar line on Press TV (Galloway, his partner, Williamson, and many others -stood outside the US Embassy in London celebrating Trump’s victory in his second term – whilst now denying they did this – as they lament the US and Israeli missiles that are now raining-down on Iran). Where did “White” working-class men get this idea from that a) theistic religion will save the world (when historically it has started all the wars), and b) a foreign and alien religion (Islam) can be imported and used to replace the Christian theology our Secular Society has only just managed to throw-off after more than a thousand-years of intellectual and physical oppression (the “Closing of the Western Mind” as one British author termed this era)?

He Saint’s Body Will Be Publicly Displayed For The First Time Photo: Sala Stampa For the First Time in 800 Years, the Body of Saint Francis of Assisi Will Be Displayed. Dates, Location, and Details Here | ZENIT - English

Italy: Relics of St Francis of Asisi – Placed on Display! (23.2.2026)

The story of the tomb of St. Francis, hidden for centuries beneath the main altar, lends an almost mystical undertone to this new era. After his death in 1226, the body was carefully hidden to avoid theft or desecration. It was only discovered in 1818, after a long search, and since then, several verifications have been carried out — most recently in 2015 –, which confirmed the authenticity and good state of preservation of the relics. Those bones, marked by the suffering and wounds of the Crucified One, are the physical echo of a life spent for love. The Basilica of St. Francis will become, during that month, the spiritual heart of the world. A massive influx of pilgrims from all Continents is expected. To guarantee a serene and prayerful experience, a free and mandatory reservation system has been established through the website http://www.sanfrancescovive.org, which is available in several languages.
