At this point, the lines are being drawn. The time now is for choosing. Faithful Catholics need to pull a rabbit out of the hat. There appear to be several options.
The super-modernists are unabashedly enthusiastic about how Pope Francis has systematically deconstructed the Church over the past decade. They promote sexual perversion while pushing for synodality—a program explicitly designed to destroy the Church's juridical authority and transfer it to a blob of individuals who are neither ordained nor actually believe in Catholicism.
At the same time, these virtual signaling sycophants shamelessly exploit 2,000 years of Catholic credibility to command undeserved respect from the Know-Nothing secular world, suck off the financial wealth built up, all while actively dismantling the Traditional Latin Mass in dioceses around the world. Typical for narcissist sodomites.
Then you have the conservative John Paul II types. They insist they are rejecting the super-modernists, yet capitulate to everything they want to do with a whimper because, at the end of the day, they know their hero, their idol, John Paul II was totally on board with all of it. But if they can distract everyone by making JP2 a 1980’s Soviet fighting, Jewish loving hero, then perhaps no one will remember that he kissed the Koran and appointed some of the worst, most perverted anti-Catholics in the history of the world to bishoprics, like Jorge Mario Bergoglio—oops, did I say that?
But I cannot let the John Paul II idolater off that easy. They also LOVE Vatican II. Why? Well, because John Paul II loved Vatican II. But if you press them, they will be forced to admit they think there really was something wrong, or at best missing, from pre-Vatican II Catholicism. They’ll come up with many cockamamie ideas, but the facts don’t really matter, because JPII loved Vatican II and so should you—because why? Because Saint John Paul II the Super-Great promoted and defended it. Regardless of whether Vatican II was Catholic or not. Oh—and we need our NFP.
Then you have the Trad Inc. types. Sometimes referred to as “Recognize and Resist.” They make a living off of criticizing certain Modernist aspects of the Church, promoting the TLM, and yet refuse to condemn what they should obviously be condemning: Vatican II, occultism, charismatic movements, Francis, Synodality, fake-saint making factories, and pretty much all the post-Vatican II magisterium, which has no connection whatsoever to what the Church actually taught for almost 2000 years, but uses fancy words that requires PhDs from Steubenville to decipher.
Then you have the typical Novus Ordo pew sitter. I used to be one. They receive their Baptisms (for the pictures), Confirmations (sometimes), and, of course, Holy Eucharist (without going to Confession). They participate in Theology of the Body weddings at their local Novus Ordo parish after receiving required instruction on Catholic birth control methods, like NFP, but still use artificial birth control anyway because they correctly perceive no real difference between hormonal pills and NFP. They show up to Mass only on Christmas and Easter and then beg the local bishop for an annulment five years later after the realize they never really loved their spouse, which is always granted.
Let us not forget the Sedevacantists. Perfectly fine Catholics trying to figure this all out, who correctly perceive there is a massive number of individuals who claim to be members of the Church’s hierarchy, who don’t even believe in Catholicism. The Sede says the hierarchy are obviously not Catholic and could not possibly have any authority whatsoever because—well—they don’t believe any of it. And therefore, pretty much no one has any juridical authority anymore, and we should just wait for God to figure this out for us.
Finally, you have the red-pilled Trad who isn’t quite willing to condemn everyone in the last 60 years who claims to have hierarchical, or even juridical authority. Nor are they willing to excommunicate millions of Catholics around the world on a dime. Yet, they see quite clearly see the corruption and evil that hijacked the Church by homosexuals, communists, Freemasons, Jews, protestants, and those who simply hate everything about Jesus Christ and what He stands for. Those poor souls sit on an island looking around at the landscape, scratching their heads, wondering what to do.
If I had to characterize myself right now, I probably fall into the last red-pilled Trad category. This last group is fairly branded as a break-off group of Trad Inc (Recognize and Resist). There was a mutual understanding while Francis claimed the Papacy based on the reality that almost everyone agreed Francis seemed to hate Catholicism and was implementing plans to destroy it. But the divide reared its ugly head once Leo XIV was elected and someone (maybe Cardinal Burke?) put out the memo to certain more connected and influential Trads to retreat from the Trad wars as part of some effort to convince Leo to restore the Traditional Latin Mass to its past 2007 glory under Summorum Pontificum.
The evil currently infecting the hierarchy of the Antichurch is so obvious, it really doesn’t warrant much discussion, beyond the question of how to deal with it. Hence, the crisis in the Church. Simple answers— such as servile obedience on one hand and condemning everything that happened after 1958 as if it never happened on the other—just seems to not quite cut it. Of course, selling out one’s soul for scraps off the Modernist Leonine table doesn’t work either.
Well, then, what to do? I propose a new group, the REVEAL AND RESIST group. You see, this is a little different from Recognize and Resist. Notice the Sedes don’t really oppose the Resist part; they don’t like the Recognize part. So, perhaps, the Sedes would consider some type of alliance?
Also, I don’t think anyone really knew what, exactly, we were supposed to “recognize” as part of the recognize and resist movement. Are we recognizing the man who claims to be the Pope as Pope? Are we recognizing Vatican II as a valid, general ecumenical council that demands we submit to all its anti-Catholic teachings? Are we recognizing the claimed Pope as Pope AND everything he asserts to be part of his official magisterial authority? You see—its all nebulous, undefined, and plays right into the hands of the evilest super-Modernists out there.
But REVEAL and Resist is different. Reveal what? Reveal the Truth, of course.
Now, a clever person will say, “that’s just begging the question! What is Truth?” Oh yes, Mr. Pontius Pilate, how you never seem to go away!
The Truth is what has been handed down to us, through Tradition (that’s what the word literally means), since the time of the Apostles. It is really that simple. What is important is that the revealing of the Truth, can at the same time, condemn those who do not hold to it.
This may involve showing, or revealing, what the Church always taught and how what men(?) like Kissy Fernandez, and even (gasp!) Leo are teaching is completely in direct conflict with the Divine Deposit of Faith. It will take some bravery and work there. But Truth convicts when spoken boldly, unapologetically, and without compromise.
Reveal and Resist, like everything else, will require those willing to stand up and sacrifice for the Truth. There also needs to be some brainstorming on how to effectively spread it—spread it into those bastions of Novus Ordoism, and the outside world. Opening the eyes of the Novus Ordo pew sitters, like I used to be, is key to this because they have the NUMBERS.
At the end of the day, it is a movement that can make waves and convict others, even the Novus Ordo pew sitters, to the fact that the current hierarchy of the Catholic Church appears, for all intents and purposes, not to be Catholic and therefore constitutes an Antichurch that must be rejected.
That is not schismatic—that is CATHOLIC. Because Catholics fight to defend our Lord Jesus Christ, His Church, and His Kingship.
So, are you willing to join me as part of the Reveal and Resist movement? Happy to change the name if you think of something better. But this current situation is simply not tenable.



This is what Tyconius said must happen in the end times.
The Church contains false brethren within her who wage war against her, and at a certain point they must be exposed by separation (discessio) from them in order to defeat them.
I don’t sense a strong group hug sentiment in the comment section.
