The SSPX has acquired another Anglican (Church of England) building in the UK. This 1870s-era building in Bensham, Gateshead (very close to Newcastle upon Tyne), is now known as Catholic Church of The Holy Name of Jesus (formerly Christ Church).Images in stained glass windows of Catholic churches are traditionally for "scenes from Biblical history and the lives of the saints, and symbolic

Virgo Maria is a traditional Catholic site in France, run by a man who was ordained through the SSPX and left it after discovering the SSPX's many strange inconsistencies and connections. The site is a treasure cache of information (in French) that every Catholic and every SSPX supporter should know about. If even one fact on that site is true, the SSPX should be completely avoided by good

If you read the daily Commentaries of Traditio, you will see how that site's operators frequently rail against "presbyters," which are the clergy of the post-Vatican II Church -- they do not have the power to remit sins or consecrate a Host. Traditio frequently draws the distinction between these powerless presbyters and geniune Catholic priests, who have been sent from God by way of the

One of the most popular and high-profile publications for Traditional Catholics is the Catholic Family News. Most good-hearted Traditionalists, seeing articles on Pius XII, the Traditional Latin Mass, and Catholicism as it existed before 1958, assume that the Catholic Family News is both Catholic and traditional.We contend that it is neither, and offer these simple facts for the reader to

One of the most blatant and frequent errors that the Traditio site espouses concerns the Society of St. Pius X. Traditio paints a picture of the SSPX's founder, Marcel Lefebvre, as a "saintly" man who ceaselessly defended Catholic tradition against the New Order. When confronted with the SSPX's constant capitulations to the same New Order today, Traditio blames it on the SSPX's current Superior

TRADITIO, the "Traditional Roman Catholic Network," has been online since 1994 and claims over 7 million visitors. It has a Library of FAQ files containing useful Catholic information [and misinformation], hosts the major Traditional Latin Mass directory [whose bulk of listings are for various non-TLM services, such as the SSPX's Modernized Mass of 1962], but is most well known for its

This is the inauguration of THE CATHOLIC BODY, a new online publication dedicated to an inquisition of the state of the Universal Church today. There are many Traditionalists and groups who claim to be members of the Roman Catholic Church and even part of its Hierarchy.Which are Real and True? Which are False and outside the Church? And, if False, is it due to Error or are there other Motives?IF
