    The irony to all this is humorous. For years, Pope Francis’ advisors warned him about those “dangerous American conservative Catholics,” and how those conservative Americans might break away from Rome because of Francis. They so brainwashed him that he even stated publicly that he was not afraid of an American-led schism. What a joke! It was never the American conservatives he had to worry about. It was the German-led heretics who had his ear.

    Pope Francis must now learn his lesson the hard way, as he discovers the people he surrounded himself with were the very ones undermining him and preparing the way for the coming German schism. They gave him a Judas kiss, and Francis is left wondering what happened. If Francis ever reads this, I have just one thing to say to him. They fooled you old man! They took you for a fool, and now they’re walking all over you. You gave them an inch, and they took ten miles! Wise up! You can’t negotiate with Modernists. The only thing they understand is a firm hand, and even that not so well.

    This is what happens with heretics of all types, and Modernists are no exception. The only thing I’ll give to the Modernists is that they’re smarter than the heretics of ages past. Heretics of ages past played a short game, confronting Rome right away, and getting themselves excommunicated early before their heresies had time to fester in the Church. The Modernists, on the other hand, played the long game, waiting for their moment for over a century, and now it’s paid off. The Catholic Church is now on the precipice of the greatest schism in history. The best Pope Francis can hope for is to contain it to just one continent. Can he do it? The odds are stacked against him now.

    So how do we faithful and orthodox Catholics deal with this?

    The first thing we need to do is make sure we’re in a reverent Catholic parish. In this respect, I can only help the people in the United States, because the only information available is on the Reverent Catholic Mass website. Outside the United States, the only thing I can tell you to do is seek out the Ordinariates of English Patrimony in North America, the UK and Oceania. Then there are the Latin Mass fraternities of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter, and the Institute of Christ the King. Then, of course there are the Eastern Catholic churches. Maybe the Society of Saint Pius X will finally get their canonical status with Rome settled, but until then, I can’t recommend them. Beyond that, I don’t know what else to tell you. You’ve got to get into a religiously conservative (orthodox) parish, or else you’re rolling the dice. Maybe your bishop will be faithful to the historic Catholic Church, or maybe he won’t be. Maybe your priest will be faithful, or maybe he won’t be. Your guess is as good as mine. I’m just telling you how to hedge your bet, and how to stay one step ahead of the schismatics. Or you can just take your chances in your local diocesan parish. Good luck!

    The second thing we need to do is make sure we are properly catechized. For years now I’ve been recommending the Baltimore Catechism Series, which can be obtained through TAN Books in paperback, or in hardcover from Baronious Press. That’s not to say there aren’t other good catechisms. There are. The Catechism of Trent is amazing, and even the Catechism of the Catholic Church, by Pope St. John Paul II, is pretty good. The reason why I recommend the Baltimore Catechism Series is because it’s arranged to catechize entire families — the parents alongside the children — at the same time. The children read the lower books, numbers 1, 2 and 3 depending upon age, while the adults read book 4. Then the family can have a discussion about each lesson after reading it. The system is really quite good, and it kills two birds with one stone, catechizing the parents alongside the children at the same time.

    The third thing we need to do is pray the Rosary, and study the New Testament. I put these two together because the Rosary is a review of the New Testament on a string of beads. Catholics need to be thoroughly familiar with both. Pray the Rosary, and read the New Testament, together as a family. Familiarity with both will help any Catholic, in any situation, especially this one.

    The fourth and final thing we need to do is repent of our sins. I don’t need to give you any details about this. You know what your sins are, just as I know what mine are. Go to confession repeatedly, over and over again if necessary, and work on getting rid of those bad habits. It’s a process. Sometimes we don’t abandon our sins overnight. Sometimes it takes a process of weeks, months and even years. But if we will just faithfully go to confession, and keep trying, we will eventually have victory. People who die in their sins are only the people who give up. So don’t give up. Keep trying to change. Those who keep trying, and never give up, eventually accomplish their goals, even if it takes a lifetime. Sometimes God doesn’t look at how successful we are. Sometimes he just looks at how hard we try, and kept trying, and never gave up trying. That’s because he sees our hearts.

    Beyond this, I don’t know what to tell you, except to wait, watch and pray. The schism is coming, and it’s going to be large. What we don’t know yet is how large. It will definitely encompass all of Northern Europe, just as the last great schism did in the sixteenth century. The real danger is it leaving the continent. If the schism spreads to North America, containment will be impossible. The entire Catholic Church will be ripped to shreds in a very short amount of time. The only thing we can do is protect ourselves and our own families from the heresies that will envelope us all. Follow the four points I cited above, and you can avoid being carried away in this nightmare. All of my ancestors were swallowed up by the schism of the sixteenth century. I believe God led me to convert to Catholicism in 2000 for a reason. Perhaps it was to prevent as many American Catholics as possible from being swallowed up in this coming schism. I can only hope and pray people actually listen.

    Do you think it has occurred to the author of that article that the Vatican is not backed into a corner? That the Modernist Germans are proceeding as planned in St. Gallen, Switzerland when they chose their candidate for pope? That the Pope's enthusiasm for synodality was always part of the plan? That the same people crying about Germany being on the verge of schism will be applauding the brilliance of Pope Francis for saving the Church from schism when he appears to rein in the Germans through some kind of give and take but ultimately synodality will give the Germans and other modernist Bishops everything they want?

    Do you think it has occurred to him that Amoris Laetitia was the test to see how much push-back there would be from the world's Bishops and it turned out that only four Bishops saw or cared that the writing was on the wall for an erosion of the unity of the Faith? Amorous Laetitia opened the door for adultery to be sinful or acceptable depending on the diocese where the adulterer resided. It was only a matter of time before every other article of faith (including papal authority) would vary from diocese to diocese.

    How close the author is to living in a schismatic diocese probably depends on his Bishop, but the diocese won't be formally schismatic. More than likely, the schism will be one of pastoral practice contradicting what the Church holds to be true. That's what's happening now. All it needs is official papal approval. They already have the approval on a wink and nod basis.

    a fundamental point is whether the German church will create some kind of sacrilegious liturgy of intercommunication with other religions.

    MATTHEW 24:15

    15 “So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’ spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand— 16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let no one on the housetop go down to take anything out of the house. 18 Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. 19 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! 20 Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again."
