President Dwight Eisenhower and Secretary of State John Foster Dulles in 1958 Here is the text of the Declassified State Department Document from Rome concerning the Papal Election to take place in October of 1958 --- the most critical month in the history of the Catholic Church other than the Crucifixion, Resurrection, and Pentecost. My commentary will follow in a following post. Please feel free to contribute your own valuation of this critical declassified document. First I have typed out the document itself. After this is the scan of the copy, which I have, of the declassified State Department document. For the friend who came up with this, much thanks for helping to clarify the ecclesiastical situation as this existed in 1958. From: Rome To: Secretary of State No: 1166, October 11, 2PM Limited Distribution. DURING CONVERSATION WITH EMBASSY OFFICER, VATICAN SOURCE EXPRESSED PERSONA...

The entire Falsification of the Third Secret depends for its plausibility on the identity of Sister Lucy. Lest we forget what is at stake, here is a "conversation" with "Sister Lucy"in which she endorses everything coming from the Vatican with regard to the Third Secret. In the "interview" below, "Sister Lucy" explicitly affirms the Vatican's "Third Secret." Surely the finding out the truth about Sister Lucy's identity is much more important than the endless speculation about the "Fourth Secret"?  From the Vatican, 19 April 2000.     CONVERSATION WITH SISTER MARIA LUCIA OF JESUS AND THE IMMACULATE HEART    The meeting between Sister Lucia, Archbishop Tarcisio Bertone, Secretary of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, sent by the Holy Father, and Bishop Serafim de Sousa Ferreira e Silva, Bishop of Leiria-Fatima, took place on Thursday, 27 April 2000, in the Carmel of Saint Teresa in Coi...

If any RadTrad has any more public information on this breaking scandal please send details. We know that NewChurch has totally undermined traditional Catholic morality over the past 50 years, why are we surprised. The student parties at Christendom were wild 35 years ago.  Here is the story from Christendom's own website: “WE WILL DO BETTER,” CHRISTENDOM COLLEGE EXTENDS SUPPORT TO VICTIMS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT AND HARASSMENT College Executive Vice President Offers to Meet with Victims Following recent alumni accounts of administrative mishandling of sexual assault reporting at Christendom College, the administration has ordered a thorough review of their policies and resources for cases of sexual assault and harassment. The College has issued an official apology to the victims and their families, and has reaffirmed its commitment to ensure the people from whom its students are seeking assistance are equipped with training, resources, and the capacity to respond to a vi...

I have finally gotten everything stamped and approved by the IRS, State of Washington, and Wells Fargo. Sister Lucy Truth Incorporated, a non-profit tax-exempt educational corporation dedicated to investigating the life and identity of Sister Lucy dos Santos of Fatima is in operation and able to receive donations into its own account. I have not yet set up the on-line payment system, but am able to receive donations by check written out to: SISTER LUCY TRUTH INCORPORATED Please send all tax-deductible donations to:  Sister Lucy Truth 4104 N. Murray Dr.  Otis Orchards, WA 99027 I need $10,000 to hire the investigator who has access to the most advanced facial recognition experts and biometrics specialists. He has also said that if he finds that the pre-1958 Lucy is not the same person as the post-1968 Lucy that he will track down what happened to the original one. If you want to do something to set things right, please consider donating. Every dime of ...

Update: Sorry dear readers I have been absolutely unable to get Salza and Siscoe to clarify their position and indicate how it is exactly applicable to the current situation in the Church. When I asked Atty. Salza to answer a few basic questions with a simple yes or no answer --- using their own terminology --- all that I received back were further questions DIRECTED TOWARDS ME! I could not get any where when attempting to clarify the situation. I have therefore decided to stop all personal communication with Siscoe and Salza. It is simply fruitless and just causes more adjectives to be added to the word "heretic" (e.g., notorious, public, private, according to private judgment, according to the Church's judgment, that which separates from the Body of the Church, that which separates from the Soul of the Church, by law, by fact.............). I am still very much interested in this question and will publish the interesting doctrinal articles that come my way.  ...

Here is Robert Siscoe's Warning to Me and My blunt Response: Warning to Peter Chojnowski Mr. Chojnowski, You need to retract the following false statement that you just posted on your website: " If what Salza and Siscoe say is true concerning the need for specific ecclesiastical judgment in order [to] have someone ACTUALLY DEFECT FROM THE Catholic Church…" We have never said that "a specific ecclesiastical judgment" is require for someone to "actually defect from the Catholic Church."    This is one more lie Fr.Kramer has been spreading online.  Did you read Part I of our reply?  Fr. Kramer's entire argument against us is full of lies.        In the future, if you think we hold an erroneous position, ask us  directly  before posting it online. And if you are wise, you won't believe  anything   Fr. Kramer says.   Robert Siscoe My response: Dearest Bob, I can pa...

                                         King Louis XIV, Proponent of Gallicanism BEFORE                                           it was known to be a heresy, receiving  ambassadors                                                                          from Siam. Dear Readers: Publishing the controversy between Fr. Kramer and John Salza and his co-writer Robert Siscoe is not meant for entertainment or useless controversy. Here is treated one of the most fundamental questions which a real Catholic must ask him or herself in the year 2018. Why the solid doctrinal presentation of the qu...

Here is the description of the Australian "Catholic" Youth Festival 2017 from the Tradition in Action site. The Pictures Follow. Question: Does it  really  matter that they ALLOW the "Latin Mass" for those with "sentimental attachment to past liturgical forms"? If Pope Pius XII saw this, would it be to far-fetched to imagine that he would think it is the time of the Great Apostasy or would he even think "post-Antichrist"? As for Australia, good thing the Brits came, convicts and all! Tribalism at Australian ‘Catholic’ Festival  Under the pretext of honoring their local aborigines, nudism and tribalism were strongly promoted at the 2017 Australian Catholic Youth Festival. Above , we see half-naked, grimacing young men crawling on the floor, their torsos painted.   Below, rows one to four , other men wearing leather strips that barely cover their genitals glorify the fetishist practices of Australians natives. Youth of both sexes pose in...

Just in....A Translation of an Italian article coming from information circulating at the Vatican. Francis will demand Oath of Fidelity to Himself and His "Magisterium" from all Clerics in the "Church." All who do not take this Oath will be Suspended from their duties. My question is who amongst the traditionalists will continue the theological game of Twister and find a way to take the oath by cosmic acts of "mental reservation."  Here is the Breaking News.....Be ready for a very intense 2018! The Article whose translation Fr. Kramer says is 99% accurate: "Drrafts part LVII: the danger of the schism. Oath of fidelity to the magisterium of Bergoglio "of Fra Cristoforo I state that what is reported in the drafts comes from a source very much in the Vatican circles. And he tells me how important he feels about what he succeeds in "capturing" all the entourage that hangs out daily in Santa Marta. So I report exclusive...

CONCLUSION      In view of what has been stated and elaborated above, the observation of Fr. Gleize can be seen to be entirely correct on this point: « The opinion of the medieval theologians (cf. no. 3), which acknowledges that the Church has a power to depose the pope if necessary, contradicts the divine constitution of the Church: Cajetan recognizes that this thesis mentioned in an objection was (at least in his era) the common opinion. But it does not hold up, because since the pope is above the Church by divine right, if there is an exceptional case in which the Church has power over him, this case must be explicitly foreseen and stated as such in the sources of revelation. Now, “when we consider the exceptional case of heresy, divine law does not foresee that the pope should be subject to the Church” (see  De comparatione , chapter 20, §280). This is why the explanation set forth by these theologians should be rejected: it contradicts the explicit tea...

Depositus» vs. «Deponendus»      St. Robert Bellarmine, in his doctrine on the question of the deposition of a manifestly heretical pope, with a tightly woven logic, gives systematic expression to the teaching of Pope Innocent III set forth in his Sermons ; 1) on the point that the Roman Pontiff may be judged by no one, except for heresy, in which case he cannot be tried as pope and judged ( deponendus) , but, 2) he can only be shown to have already been judged – to have fallen from the Pontificate ( depositus ). Thus, the Church would exercise no power over the pope if it were to judge that the man occupying the cathedra had actually fallen from the pontificate by his heresy, but then the Church would only determine that the occupant of the throne, being a heretic, and thereby having fallen from the pontificate, is no longer the pope; and would therefore declare the See to be vacant, and proceed to the election of a new pope. It is in this broad sense that Bel...
