TrapCast Express, it's Thursday, October 17th, 2019.
Right now it is hell on earth in the Eternal City
as the Amazon Senate is in full swing
and the stories coming out of Rome are nothing short of mind-boggling.

But be forewarned, the Vatican has degenerated into an utter madhouse.
In the last podcast episode,
we mentioned the idolatrous earth worship ceremony in the Vatican Gardens
that had occurred on October 4th,
but the evil didn't end there.
In fact,
get a barf bag ready because what you're going to hear now is bad.
Listen to what LifeSite reports in an article by Gene Smits,
published October 11th.
Quote,
At Santa Maria in Traspontina,
the multicolored blanket used in the Vatican Garden
was deployed at the foot of the altar,
which was itself covered by a handcrafted net.
Other rainbow nets were visible in the sanctuary.
A ritual,
a ritual to the Pachamama, Mother Earth,
was once more celebrated
after the objects that had been strewn in the Vatican Gardens
were brought in procession-wise
and reverently placed on the blanket
together with ritual dancing.
The objects included at least one of the two wooden figurines
of naked pregnant women crouching,
seen the day before in the Vatican Gardens,
either a pagan fertility symbol
or a nude Our Lady of the Amazon,
of which,
LifeSite News' John Henry Weston said in a video published Friday
that he, frankly, did not know which was worse
because either way it was totally outrageous.
A slender young woman dressed in tight pants
was then borne through the aisle toward the blanket
in a model wooden boat carried by native Amazonians.
The film of the event, published by Repam,
the Pan-Amazonian network presided over by Cardinal Claudio Hummes,
who is also a key organizer of the Synod,
then shows the group prostrated around the blanket
with what is probably the Blessed Sacrament in the background.
At any rate, the candles on the high altar were lit for the event
and the ceremony was presided over by Cardinal Pedro Barreto,
who proclaimed,
This evening, heaven is on earth.
It was the same young woman who danced in the aisle
with what appeared to be a woman,
In a side chapel of Santa Maria in Traspantina,
a poster had been placed to show that
everything is connected.
A quote from Laudato Si.
Here, it was a photo of a small mammal
connected to the breast of a naked indigenous woman
sucking it while she carried a child on her other arm.
The photo was explained in three parts linked by arrows,
starting from the left,
from yo, I,
and leading to otro yo, another I, the child.
Unquote.
This is evil.
There's nothing else to be said.
Meanwhile, while all of this is going on in and outside Vatican City,
the Vatican Publishing House is getting ready to publish a new book
written by Francis.
It's titled Our Mother Earth,
Nostra Madre,
Madre Terra.
It'll be released on October 24th,
just in time for the closing of the Amazon Senate.
The book contains 30 meditations by the apostate from Buenos Aires
on his own environmental encyclical, Laudato Si.
And of course, in it, he proselytizes plenty for his eco-religion,
demanding that people convert to an environmentally friendly lifestyle.
In other words, it's all stuff that no one,
needs a pope for.
As the German journalist Alexander Kistler once said,
Francis is basically a United Nations Secretary General
with a pectoral cross.
And even that pectoral cross leaves a lot to be desired,
if you've seen it.
I mean, it's got all the grace and style
of a bottle opener.
But anyway,
St. John the Apostle must have had Francis in mind
when he wrote these inspired words 2,000 years ago.
Quote,
They are of the world.
Therefore, of the world they speak,
and the world heareth them.
Unquote.
And that's the first letter of St. John,
chapter 4, verse 5.
Meanwhile, though, on YouTube,
Michael Matt of The Remnant assures himself and his viewers
that there is tremendous grounds for hope
that the earth-worshipping modernists in the Vatican
won't be able to pull off what they set out to do with the Senate,
at least not in the long term.
Why?
Because, well,
because Bishop Athanasius Schneider
just published a new book.
And a lot of people that Michael Matt thinks highly of
attended the book launch in Rome.
Here, take a listen to this clip from Matt's video
entitled,
Huge Sign of Hope,
Schneider, Berg, Speak in Rome.
Published on October 14th.
And we're seeing just the exact opposite of that,
I really want to bring this to you as sort of my final message from Rome.
As far as my reaction to this whole thing, I don't think they can pull it off.
They're going to pull off the Amazon Synod.
It's going to go that way.
But the awakening that we're seeing happening is so powerful.
So we're not at all ready to leave the church.
We don't even for a second think this is the end.
Christ is going to win, not only in the future at the end of the world, but now he's going to win.
They can't pull this thing off.
And tonight, which again is the reason why we extended our stay, gave us even more renewed hope.
I'm flying high right now.
There's a taxi over there blowing its horn.
Who did we have?
In this room tonight for the launching of this book, written by the most traditional Catholic bishop in the world,
interviewed by one of the most traditional Catholic Vaticanistas in this whole city, Diane Montagna.
And who do you think was sitting there listening to the launch, the kickoff of this book?
Cardinal Mueller, Raymond Cardinal Leo Burke, Cardinal of Rennes, many, many priests.
Professor Demetre gave a talk in here tonight.
There were journalists like Ed Pendon and Robert Royal.
And Father Gerald Murray from the Papal Posse, he emceed the event.
So imagine the people that were in that room.
And then there were a lot of just important journalists like Sandra Magistre was here.
A lot of people were listening and watching this event, which was the launch now of a very important traditional Catholic book.
This book covers everything from the traditional mass to the Second Vatican Council to the pontificate of Pope Francis
to Bishop Schneider's opinion on the Society of St. Pius.
Everything is in here.
And so to have these people be here for the launch is what it was, what I'm talking about.
People are waking up and you really could feel it tonight.
Cardinal Burke gave a beautiful talk on the need for the bishops, the role of the bishops to speak out against error when they see it and to bring the people, the faithful to Jesus Christ.
And then he was saying that people are starving for the old catechetical teachings of the church just to bring people to Christ, to bring them into the Catholic Church, to lovingly show them how to save their souls.
That's what they want from the bishops, he said.
Professor Demetre?
Professor Demetre, I can't even believe that I watched this man, this incredible first-rate historian, that he delivered words to people like Cardinal Mueller and Cardinal Burke.
All right, all right, I can't take this anymore.
Turn it off.
Michael Madd has no idea what he even believes.
We're constantly told that it's a new religion, it's not the Catholic Church anymore, we can have nothing to do with any of this, etc.
And then in the same breath, they, of course, don't want to leave that false church.
Because it really is the true church somehow.
And then people like Cardinal Gerhard Mueller, for example, get mentioned as examples of great fidelity to church teaching when Mueller is 100% a Vatican II man and is on record publicly denying the dogmas of transubstantiation, the perpetual virginity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and the bodily resurrection of Christ.
And you can verify that on our website.
It's novosortowatch.org.
But hey, Mueller opposes adultery, liturgical anarchy, women priests, and earth worship, so there.
There's your great hope for the future.
It's unbelievable.
By the way, a Novos Ordo permanent deacon from England, Nick Donnelly, tweeted a most appropriate response to this book launch with Schneider, Burke, Demetre, and all the rest.
Here's what he wrote, quote,
Instead of attending yet another book launch...
Cardinals Burke, Mueller, and Orenz would have done better to go to the Senate Hall and Santa Maria and Traspantina to destroy the idols and tear down the bestial poster.
Book launches and letters aren't an appropriate response to idolatry.
Unquote.
Bam!
Amen.
See, you didn't have to be a Sedevacanist to see that nice book presentations and conferences aren't going to stop Bergoglio.
Also, let me play you this clip from John Henry Weston, the editor of LifeSite.
This is from his video entitled,
The Amazon Synod is Setting Up a False Church of October 4th.
See if you notice any kind of contradiction in what he says.
Listen closely.
This is a little bit less than one minute in length.
But what is plainly obvious is that what is being set up is a false church.
And a false image of Christ.
A reasonable church that contravenes doctrine in hard cases.
A church that suggests that hell is empty.
A church that sows doubt about the true presence of Christ in the Eucharist.
A church that puts out political considerations such as immigration policy and environmentalism above non-negotiable teachings on abortion is a false church.
These are serious charges, yes.
But it doesn't take a theologian.
To recognize when the faith is being distorted.
We won't leave the church.
This is the one true church and there is no other.
We shall fight for Christ's truth in the church because we are ready to die for this faith.
All right.
So it's a false church, but it's the true church that we're not going to leave.
Got it.
And one more tidbit here.
The Reverend Paul Kramer, a Novosorto priest who subscribes to the recognize and resist position,
but,
has concluded that Francis is a public heretic and not a true Pope.
Instead, he believes that Benedict the 16th is the true Pope,
has now released a 676 page book entitled,
To Deceive the Elect, the Catholic Doctrine on the Question of a Heretical Pope.
It's available on Amazon, or you can order it at todeceivetheelect.com.
And it's available in both hard copy and,
uh,
electronically.
So it just came out.
And so,
no,
I haven't read it.
And I really just want to mention it because in this humongous book,
the author takes to task the anti-Sedevacanist duo,
John Salza and Robert Sisko,
blasting them for their false theology and erroneous claims.
So even a non-Sedevacanist priest can see what theological dilettantes at best,
or shysters at worst,
Salza,
and Sisko really are.
And although he doesn't agree with our position,
the Sedevacanist position,
he does agree that Salza and Sisko's book,
True or False Pope,
is a bunch of baloney.
Now,
this is really great because it shows that you don't have to be a Sedevacanist
to see that their book is not credible.
You may have heard the name of Paul Kramer as the editor of the book,
The Devil's Final Battle.
And,
uh,
also he used to be associated with,
uh,
the Reverend Nicholas Gruner at the Fatima Center,
and he used to speak at conferences for the Fatima Center,
uh,
or Catholic Family News,
The Remnant,
I'm not sure,
uh,
any,
any one of those or all of them.
Well,
guess what?
Matthew Gaspers,
the managing editor of Catholic Family News,
has already made clear on Twitter that he is not interested in promoting Kramer's book
because he thinks it is based on Sedevacanist principles.
Now,
never mind that there are no such,
such things as Sedevacanist principles.
There are Catholic principles,
and it just so happens that they lead to Sedevacantism,
meaning they lead to the conclusion that Francis,
in particular,
is not a valid Pope,
but,
of course,
also his other Novus Ordo predecessors.
And there you can see that these people like Gaspers and Michael Matt and all the rest
are not interested in what the evidence might be.
They're only interested in what supports,
what supports their position.
Now,
you would have thought that maybe the fact that this book was written by someone who
used to be their friend and associate and who is not a Sedevacanist,
who really hasn't changed anything he believes in,
as far as I know,
and simply applied it to Francis,
that maybe that would be worth informing their readers about,
so that they can decide for themselves whether they find the Salza-Cisco arguments or the Kramer arguments more convincing.
But,
nope,
can't do it.
Again,
the man is not a Sedevacanist.
He believes in all the papal claimants since Pius XII,
except for Francis.
He has academic degrees in theology.
And so,
he writes a scholarly refutation of Salza and Sisco's arguments,
and he doesn't even get a hearing at Catholic Family News?
Well,
you can bet your bottom dollar that he's not going to get a hearing at the Remnant either.
Kind of like,
that Sister Lucy imposter thing.
Somehow,
no one is touching that with a 10-foot pole either.
And you wonder why,
right?
I mean,
there's been a massive collection of scientific evidence published at sisterlucyimposter.org.
Scientific evidence,
I might add,
from disinterested third parties,
okay?
That's objective.
And yet,
practically no one in the Recognize and Resist camp has picked it up.
I mean,
what is going on?
Here?
Oh,
well,
let me say one final thing for those who are getting close to Sedevacantism,
but are still a bit hesitant,
because they're in doubt and they're,
you know,
they're afraid to do the wrong thing.
Well,
let me ask you this,
or rather,
ask yourselves this.
Which error is worse?
Is it worse to be wrong about who the Pope is,
or to be wrong about what the papacy is?
You see,
the Catholic,
the Catholic dogma doesn't change,
right?
But in confusing times,
people can make mistakes about who is and isn't the Pope.
Now,
which do you think you'll be judged more harshly for?
For making a good faith mistake about the status of Jorge Bergoglio in these very evil and confusing times,
when all the external evidence shows that the man is not a Catholic?
Or for distorting and thus rejecting the Catholic dogma on the papacy,
just,
just so you could fit Francis into it and thereby make it effectively meaningless?
Think about it.
