Judas’ Counterfeit Coin: Francis’ Error, Modernism’s Trap, and the Call to True Worship
Judas sold Christ for 30 pieces of silver—counterfeit coins worth zip. Why did Pope Francis flaunt Judas’ image in his office, hyped by L’Osservatore Romano? This “spirit of Judas,” like his 2016-2017 Luther love-in, betrays lex orandi and Eucharistic reverence, fueling modernism’s trap of treating God as a vibe. Communion in the hand risks the same irreverence. Yet, saints like Augustine and Mary of Egypt show true repentance, not Judas’ despair. Reject the counterfeit faith—pray the Rosary daily, turn to Mary, “full of grace,” for true worship. Unmask the fraud with us! #CatholicTruth
BFP We Are Being Gamed by the Synod
The USCCB Synod Synthesis is a product of Game Theory, McKinsey and Co Communications, and a lot of Filtered Messaging designed to stuff you, faithful Catholic, into meaninglessness.
BFP – The Consecration is Nice But Not What Our Lady Asks of Us Today

BFP Cupich’s Padlock of Latin Mass Unity and the Motu Proprio Traditionis Custodes
Cardinal Cupich padlocked a Latin Mass church in 2002, calling it “unity.” In 2021, Traditionis Custodes echoes the same term. Coincidence? Join John B. Manos on The Bellarmine Forum Podcast to uncover this chilling pattern and question what “unity” means for the Traditional Latin Mass. Listen now!
Media-Created Hype and the Motu Proprio
The Press: “Yay! The Catholic Church has a chance to be modernized. Getting rid of the old Latin Mass is a sign of that modernization!” But wait a minute…
We Can All Breathe Easier Now that Fr. Weinandy resigned from the USCCB
Today, a dangerous force creeping into the Church was solidly quashed and quelled. After all, one must take firm and swift actions to keep the public order, right? After all, asking questions of the Holy Father is subversive and confusing to the laity. They might think the wrong thing. They might be encouraged to question his authority as…

The One Thing I Wonder About Pope Francis Meeting President Trump
I remember the buzz earlier this year when Pope Francis was sending a message to the United States for the Super bowl. I wondered what he would say. I had hoped it would not be a rehash of his statements about migrants. I thought it was an interesting idea that the Pope would think to send a message,…
Despite all the Angst, Maybe Pope Francis is Right… And the reactions were wrong for the wrong reasons
In the past week, Pope Francis said something that got everyone in an uproar (imagine that). Catholic blogs were immediately lambasting the statement. Many claimed that he was wrong to say what he said. A giant news network even got into the act and claimed it was time for him to resign. I wonder if maybe…
The Cosmic Battle, Two Pontiffs, and a Novena
Is it weird to have a favorite holy water font? Well, I do. I’m weird. In the Basilica of St. Paul Outside-the-Walls–not far from the place where the Apostle was buried after being decapitated for the crime of not losing his head–stands a very curious holy water font. The casual Roman parishioner at St. Paul’s has likely seen this…
