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

Monsignor Bandas called it “religious vandalism” in ’66, and he wasn’t wrong. While today’s prelates play Francis fanboys, their kin defied popes to sow chaos. Pass the tartar sauce and dive into the real story of a Church divided by liturgy, not politics.

The writer argues for addressing real issues within the Church rather than suppressing dissent, fearing divine retribution for unchecked corruption.
Uncanonically Elected? St. Francis of Assisi’s Quips Raise Eyebrows
Optical illusions such as the vase or faces demonstrate how perception can be selective, akin to prophecy interpretation. St. Francis’ cryptic end-times prophecies exemplify this, with possible modern reflections and the ominous foreshadowing of Church division and tribulation.

Sickly (Sinful) Servility is Not Obedience, Fr. Micelli and Fr. Hardon on the Limits of Obedience
