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

Toeing the Line in the Marxist Church? Texas Divine Mercy Situation Escalates

An observer expresses concern that priests in the Catholic Church are silenced and punished for critiquing corruption or hierarchal errors, akin to “toeing the line” under authoritarian regimes. With specific reference to Texas’ Mission of Divine Mercy, they lament actions taken against a member receiving alleged divine locutions critical of the Church’s integrity, noting the harsher treatment compared to clergy guilty of bigger transgressions like abuse. The writer argues for addressing real issues within the Church rather than suppressing dissent, fearing divine retribution for unchecked corruption.
