Neo-Church Divisions Deepen with Proposed Liturgical Jurisdiction

The Catholic News Agency portal (January 7, 2026) reports on a memorandum by Fr. Louis-Marie de Blignières proposing a personal apostolic administration for adherents of the Traditional Latin Mass ahead of an extraordinary consistory convened by “Pope” Leo XIV. The article frames this as a solution to tensions following the 2021 motu proprio Traditionis Custodes, which restricted the pre-conciliar liturgy. De Blignières – founder of the Fraternity of St. Vincent Ferrier and participant in “St.” John Paul II’s post-1988 negotiations with Lefebvrians – suggests a non-territorial jurisdiction modeled on military ordinariates, claiming it would provide “stability, peace, and unity” while maintaining diocesan ties. The proposal has drawn mixed reactions from figures like Fr. Matthieu Raffray (Institute of the Good Shepherd) and Fr. Pierre Amar, revealing ongoing fractures within the conciliar sect’s liturgical landscape.

Catholic News Agency (January 6, 2026) reports on John Bishop’s lecture “God Made Men” at the SEEK 2026 conference in Fort Worth, Texas, where hundreds of young men received instruction on masculinity based on “John Paul II’s theology of the body.” Bishop criticized male passivity, urging attendees to “act” and become “men fully alive” through sacrificial action while invoking Adam’s encounter with Eve as a model of pure vision. The presentation exemplifies the neo-church’s systematic replacement of sacramental grace with anthropocentric self-help.

Leave a Comment / Pseudo-Trads / amdg

The VaticanNews portal (December 18, 2025) reports on a “Pilgrimage of Hope and Solidarity” organized by Kenya’s conciliar sect structure called the Pontifical Society of Missionary Childhood. Thirty children from the Kakamega Diocese delivered food, clothing, and “prayer materials” to Lodwar Diocese, accompanied by their invalidly ordained “priest” and religious collaborators. The event culminated in an illicit “Holy Mass” celebrated by “bishop” John Mbinda, who praised the initiative as strengthening “missionary identity” in times of declining resources.

Catholic News Agency reports Curtis Martin’s retirement as CEO of FOCUS after nearly three decades, highlighting the organization’s expansion to 1,000 missionaries across 250 locations reaching 60,000 individuals annually.

EWTN Spain’s Pseudo-Scientific Apologetics: A Trojan Horse of Modernist Subversion

Leave a Comment / Pseudo-Trads / amdg

The Catholic News Agency portal (November 20, 2025) reports on José Carlos González-Hurtado, “president” of EWTN Spain, promoting his book “The Scientific Evidence that Jesus Is God” – a work claiming to prove Christ’s divinity through scientific arguments. The article details González-Hurtado’s conversion narrative, his methodological approach analyzing Christ as “myth, manipulated figure, liar, maniac, or Messiah,” and his assertion that science constitutes God’s “path for humanity today.” This theatrical reconciliation of faith and reason epitomizes the conciliar sect’s capitulation to scientism.
