The National Catholic Register portal reports that the Buffalo diocese of the conciliar sect, under its “bishop” Michael Fisher, has belatedly cut financial support for “Fr.” Jeffrey Nowak and petitioned the Vatican’s Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith for his dismissal from the clerical state, following his federal arrest on charges of receipt and possession of child pornography. The “diocese” admits it continued sustaining Nowak for years despite a 2019 administrative leave for seminarian harassment, citing a putative canonical obligation to provide “some level of financial sustenance,” only reversing course when secular authorities exposed the “abhorrent criminal conduct.” This reactive, legalistic maneuver reveals the conciliar sect’s institutional priority: damage control for its crumbling credibility before the world, not the salvation of souls or the honor of God.
The Usurped See of Buffalo: A Vacant Chair Occupied by a Manifest Heretic
The very premise of the article—that “Bishop Michael Fisher” exercises legitimate authority in Buffalo—is a fiction condemned by the perennial Magisterium. Since the usurpation of the Holy See by the Modernist antipope John XXIII in 1958, the See of Peter has been vacant, and all subsequent “appointments” to residential sees are null and void ab initio. As St. Robert Bellarmine teaches, “a manifest heretic, by that very fact ceases to be Pope and head, just as he ceases to be a Christian and member of the body of the Church” (De Romano Pontifice, lib. 2, cap. 30). The “bishops” of the conciliar sect, by their public adhesion to the heresies of Vatican II—religious liberty, ecumenism, collegiality, the new ecclesiology—are manifest heretics who have ipso facto lost all jurisdiction. Canon 188 §4 of the 1917 Code, binding divine and ecclesiastical law, declares: “Every office becomes vacant by the mere fact and without any declaration… if the cleric publicly defects from the Catholic faith.” Fisher’s “appointment” by the antipope “Francis” (Bergoglio) and confirmed by the current antipope Leo XIV (Prevost) is a nullity; he is a layman masquerading as a successor of the Apostles, possessing no more authority to govern, judge, or petition Rome than any other baptized layman.
The “Canonical Obligation” Farce: Legalism Serving the Synagogue of Satan
The “diocese’s” statement that it was “required by canon law to provide some level of financial sustenance” to a suspended “priest” exposes the Pharisaical legalism of the conciliar sect. They invoke the 1983 Code—a product of the Modernist revolution that abolished the 1917 Code’s penalties against heresy and schism—to justify sustaining a predator, while ignoring the divine law that clamat ad caelum against such abominations. St. Pius X, in Lamentabili sane exitu (1907), condemned the Modernist error that “Ecclesiastical law… does not apply to authors engaged in scientific criticism or exegesis” (prop. 1), but the conciliar sect has made a religion of dispensing from divine law under color of canonical technicalities. The “financial sustenance” provided to Nowak for seven years after credible harassment allegations was not canonical obedience but complicity in the opera di Satana. As Pope Pius IX teaches in the Syllabus of Errors (1864), “The Church is not a true and perfect society… but it appertains to the civil power to define what are the rights of the Church” (Error 19)—the conciliar sect has inverted this, submitting to civil law (reporting to prosecutors only after arrest) while pretending canonical fidelity.
Petitioning the “Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith”: Appealing to the Seat of the Antichrist
Fisher’s instruction to petition the “Vatican’s Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith” for laicization is a grotesque pantomime. That dicastery, headed by “Cardinal” Víctor Manuel Fernández, is the engine of the Modernist destruction of doctrine, the very synagoga Satanae warned against by Pope Leo XIII. Pope Paul IV’s Bull Cum ex Apostolatus Officio (1559) declares that any promotion of a heretic to the cardinalate or papacy is “null, void, and of no effect”—and the entire Roman Curia since 1958 is staffed by such nullities. To petition them for a declaration of dismissal is to recognize their authority, thereby communicating in their schism and heresy. The true Church, as Bellarmine teaches, judges the heretic by his own judgment (ipso facto), not by a declaratory sentence from a usurped tribunal. Nowak’s crimes, if proven, manifest his separation from the Church; no “dicastery” decree is needed to make it so.
Naturalistic Language: “Abhorrent Criminal Conduct” Instead of Mortal Sin Crying to Heaven
The article’s vocabulary—”abhorrent criminal conduct,” “vulnerable populations,” “disgraceful behavior,” “held accountable”—is the lexicon of the Masonic secular order, not the Church. Nowhere is there mention of peccatum mortale, scandal (scandalum), the ruin of souls, the violation of the Sixth and Ninth Commandments, the desecration of the priestly character, or the eternal damnation awaiting unrepentant sinners. The “bishop” Fisher and the “diocese” speak as functionaries of a child-protection NGO, not as shepherds accountable to the Divine Judge. Pius XI in Quas Primas (1925) proclaims that “Peace is only possible in the kingdom of Christ” and that “When God and Jesus Christ were removed from laws and states… the foundations of that authority were destroyed.” The conciliar sect, having dethroned Christ the King in favor of “human rights” and “dialogue,” reaps the whirlwind: its “clergy” commit crimes worthy of Sodom, and its “bishops” manage the fallout with press releases.
The Systemic Rot: Not an Aberration but the Fruit of the Conciliar Revolution
The Nowak case is not an isolated failure but the necessary fruit of the conciliar “reforms.” The 1969 Novus Ordo Missae destroyed the theology of the propitiatory Sacrifice, reducing the priesthood to a “presidency” over a community meal. The 1983 Code gutted penal canon law. The “psychological screening” of seminarians, introduced by Modernists, filters for compliance with the new anthropology, not for virtue. The “Light-Life” movement (Blachnicki), the charismatic renewal, and the entire post-conciliar “formation” apparatus produce men devoid of the sacerdotium, formed in the heresy of religious liberty and the cult of man. As the Syllabus condemns: “The civil government… has a right to an indirect negative power over religious affairs” (Error 41)—the conciliar sect has internalized this, submitting to state prosecutors as the true arbiters of clerical fitness.
No Supernatural Remedy: The Silence on Grace, Penance, and the Last Things
The gravest accusation against the article and the “diocese” is their total silence on the supernatural order. No call to prayer, no mention of the Sacrament of Penance (invalid in the conciliar rite due to defective form and intention), no warning of the Particular Judgment, no invocation of the Blessed Virgin or St. Michael. The “diocese” acts as a purely human institution managing a liability. This is the abominatio desolationis foretold by Daniel and Our Lord: the sacred place occupied by a structure that has lost the sensus fidei entirely. St. Pius X in Pascendi Dominici Gregis (1907) identified Modernism as “the synthesis of all heresies”—and here is its bitter fruit: a “Church” that protects predators until the state kicks down the door, then issues statements crafted by lawyers.
The Only Catholic Response: Reject the Counterfeit, Cleave to Tradition
Faithful Catholics must recognize that the Buffalo “diocese,” the “Dicastery,” and the “pope” Leo XIV are not the Church but its ape, a paramasonic structure erected to displace the Kingdom of Christ. The true Church endures in the catacombs, in the chapels where validly ordained priests (consecrated before 1968 by bishops of the true apostolic succession) offer the Immemorial Mass of Trent, where the faithful keep the integral Faith without admixture. Nowak’s crimes cry out for divine justice; Fisher’s complicity cries out for divine vengeance. Non praevalebunt—the gates of hell shall not prevail against the true Church, but the conciliar sect, built on the sand of Modernism, is collapsing under the weight of its own iniquity. “You are Christ the King of glory!” (Pius XI, Quas Primas)—let us serve Him alone, in the Tradition that never changes.
