There is no ending of the shouts of “Allahu Akbar” in France
At around 9:30 p.m., a man in Rue Rabelais in Lyon repeatedly shouted “Allak Akbar” and other threatening slogans. According to our information, the man shouted from his flat in a hotel complex towards the street.
Numerous police officers intervened and initially set up a cordon. Several eyewitnesses reported that the police officers were heavily armed in order to be prepared for all eventualities. The fire brigade was also mobilised while a column of police officers gathered to arrest the person. The arrest reportedly went smoothly.
The suspect was then taken to a hospital where he was psychiatrically examined, among other things. He was then possibly taken into police custody.
The deployment was terminated again at around 11 pm. Lyon Mag
Pope Francis’ Unholy War on Traditionalist Carmelite Nuns
A decade ago I attended a Memorial Mass for a woman friend of mine who ran a Catholic Worker house in Philadelphia. Karen was involved in the Roman Catholic women priest movement. Her progressive views included support for ‘open’ liturgies (celebrated at the Catholic Worker house) which allowed celebrants other than priests to officiate. She was a radical, feminist Catholic, as were most of the people at her memorial service.
This fact became evident to me at the luncheon following the service when I was seated beside a well groomed fifty something woman in a plaid skirt and sweater who introduced herself as a Sister of Saint Joseph. The Sisters of St. Joseph were among the first orders of Catholic nuns to ditch their religious habit after Vatican II.
During the luncheon I explained to the well coiffed (and perfumed) Sister that I had fond memories of Saint Joe nuns in their unique box veils that made them resemble Orthodox patriarchs. I also told her that what I found most ironic was that in the days before Vatican II, Saint Joe nuns were noted for their strictness and cruelty (pinching the earlobes of students; using large wooden rulers as “swords” to discipline unruly boys), whereas after Vatican II almost all of them, sans their box veils and weighty crucifixes, had as their chrism social justice issues (Nuns on the Bus), etc.
I took things a step further with the Saint Joe nun when I said, “Today, it seems your Order is all about using your rulers on society.”
Fast forward to 2022 and to a Catholic landscape practically devoid of nuns in traditional habits except for cloistered women squirreled away in obscure convents. The sad fact is, contemplative orders of nuns were almost liquated after Vatican, but even the few “conservative” monasteries that survived became saddled with the new Mass and the revised, politically correct breviary, with its psalms that would bring joy to fans of the Southern Poverty Law Project.
In Philadelphia, one can visit the Convent of Divine Love where the cloistered Holy Adoration Sisters or ‘Pink Sisters’ reside. The nuns’ chapel with its grill work and rood screen is an impressive sight, as are the nuns themselves. These human relics of a lost era– nuns not in pant suits who blabber about voting rights– never fail to capture the imaginations of a fascinated public. The sight of a traditional nun in public always generates a buzz. In a supermarket near my home whenever an order of Eastern Rite Ukrainian nuns comes in to shop, shoppers look for any excuse to go up to them and say, “Finally, real nuns!”
Pope Francis, a liturgical modernist, has made no secret of his dislike for tradition in the Roman Rite despite his professed admiration for the (always traditional) Orthodox Divine Liturgy. Francis’ goal is the stripping down of the Roman Rite to a Bauhaus like austerity.
Francis, the iconoclast, is well on his way to relegating the Traditional Latin Mass to an archival footnote in Church history, and now it seems he has taken aim at a little congregation of traditionalist nuns in Fairfield, Pennsylvania.
The Discalced Carmelites Sisters of Fairfield were established in 2018, an outgrowth of a Carmel convent in Nebraska. The Carmelites were founded by Teresa of Avila (1515-82), the only woman to be declared a ‘Doctor of the Church.’ Carmelite convents are designed to be small (convents are not to exceed 30 nuns). The Fairfield convent currently has 25 nuns with two additional women scheduled to enter. Unlike the nearly empty Sisters of Saint Joseph convents throughout the nation (religious orders of nuns who wear secular dress are not gaining new members), the attraction of Fairfield Carmelites and other traditionalist communities continues to mystify—and anger– the defenders of modernism.
The Fairfield community is almost ‘Amish’ in its rigorous lifestyle. There is no indoor heating and plumbing, no air conditioning or electricity. The nuns, who wear traditional habits, pray 8 hours a day, sleep 5 ½ hours a night, attend the Traditional Latin Mass, eat no meat and practice intense fasting. The Carmelite tradition is one of autonomy, a 500 year old tradition established by St. Teresa of Avila.
Enter Pope Francis, who in 2016 authored a document, Vultum Dei quaerere, a design plan to overhaul cloistered women’s communities. Francis’ revolutionary screed was followed by 2018 document released by the Vatican’s Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life, titled Cor Orans (‘praying heart’), which would give control of a monastery to a religious federation outside the community. Cor Orans grants Vatican henchmen generous oversight into the daily life of the Carmelites, which of course would spell doom for the 25 nuns (soon to be 27) and their Traditionalist lifestyle.
The ‘mainstreaming’ aspects of a federation conjures a Saint Joe nun mentality—social justice seminars, feminist haircuts in exchange for religious habits, minimal to zero fasts, no Latin Mass, 8 hours of prayer cut down to one hour in a rehabbed convent chapel (out with the grill and fancy altar; in with a butcher block table altar.)
“The global Church’s centuries of tradition are not akin to a container for preserved objects,” Francis has stated. As for traditionalist Catholics, he considers them mere pantywaists whose only purpose is to “safeguard the ashes of the past.”
Before the release of Cor Orans, The Remnant quoted one fully professed Carmelite nun and a senior member of the monastery’s council.
“The Cor Orans document is the death-knell of Carmel. It signals the end of the contemplative monastic life. Not only does it destroy the autonomy of the Monasteries, something Our Holy Mother St. Teresa was extremely insistent about, but it also removes the Superior, dissolves her authority and power…”
Last year the Fairfield convent became the object of an Apostolic Visitation from Rome. According to LifeSiteNews, a Visitation consists of interviews of each sister and a detailed scrutiny of the Nuns’ daily life. It includes an evaluation of their application of the Carmelite charism and their monastic customs.
Three “Apostolic” visitors spent a few days at the Fairfield convent, after which they assured the nuns that they were living a very good life, that all was in order and they had nothing to worry about.
How many lies are hidden beneath smiley faces, behind warm handshakes and a hug? The devil clothed as an angel!
In 2012, when the Vatican under Pope Benedict XVI announced that several orders of liberal activist nuns like the Sisters of Social Service (whose charism includes gender matters, poverty and the ordination of women) would be receiving an Apostolic Visitation because of “serious doctrinal problems,” the legacy media went berserk. People accused Benedict XVI of conducting an Inquisition and branded him a draconian medievalist and a Nazi. In the end, the American liberal nuns (in feminist haircuts) got a pass to continue their work.
Compare Benedict XVI’s graciousness towards these liberal nuns to the current Vatican ruling for the Fairfield Carmelites under Jorge of the Pachamamas.
The Fairfield convent was given one year to decide whether to join the federation of activist nuns or suffer the consequences. The consequences, of course, could mean the closure of the convent.
If the convent opts to join the federation, the Vatican will take control of the financial assets of the nuns and their properties. All of this is a form of persecution because many in Rome believe that contemplative orders serve no purpose in the Church anymore. Many prelates want to liquidate the convent’s assets and give the money to the poor.
Hilary White of One Peter asks,
Why the Fairfield Carmel? Obviously because they are successful. But most especially that they are successful as traditionalists. They have grown and prospered and are building their beautiful stone monastery. They are popular and have immense support from the laity. All this while very firmly rejecting the Modernist “reforms” of religious life and liturgy, that in Rome are considered the litmus test for acceptance by the contemporary Church. All of this put together is virtually a death sentence in the current Vatican.
The attack on the Fairfield convent has the support of the Archbishop of Philadelphia, Nelson Perez, who happens to be a friend of Pope Francis. Perez is a company man, an easy going modernist who banned kneeling at Mass in the Diocese of Cleveland when he was Bishop there. LifeSite News reported that Nelson J. Perez has been telling his brother bishops in the USCCB that “the nuns in Valparaiso, Nebraska and Fairfield are a cult.”
And there you have it: A cult. What was once normal Catholic life in the 1950s and for hundreds of years throughout history is now being categorized as disordered.
Archbishop Perez has kept a low profile in Philadelphia since his installation in 2020. He has proven to be a quiet presence in the city, practically a non-entity in terms of newsworthy comments although in April 2021, he arranged a virtual event called Journey of Hope in which he featured several nuns in feminist haircuts, the Handmaids of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and James Martin, editor of America Magazine. The event drew some protests outside the city’s Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul.
As for the Fairfield Carmelites, they were told that by no means will they receive a dispensation from the Cor Orans document, something they were hoping and praying for.
Cults must be squashed, after all, so that the New Order can be Triumphant.

Macron is said to have benefited from the votes of 85% of Muslims – Terrorists also called for Macron to be elected
After a month-long campaign, Marine Le Pen was finally defeated in the second round of the presidential election with 41.5% of the vote against 58.5% for Emmanuel Macron. On Monday April 25, BFM TV reported on an IFOP poll for La Croix and Pèlerin Magazine that examines voters’ voting choices according to their religious beliefs. Muslims chose to give their vote to the candidate of the La République en Marche party by 85%. As a reminder, the head of state had been able to count on the support of the Grand Mosque of Paris (GMP) and the Rassemblement des musulmans de France (RMF). The Musulmans de France, formerly UOIF, which is linked to the Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamic organisation classified as terrorist by several countries in the world, had also called for Macron to be elected.
In the first round of voting on April 10, Muslims had voted massively for the radical left candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon, with 69%. Catholics, on the other hand, gave 55% of their votes to the incumbent president. In terms of turnout, 79% of Catholic voters went to the polls, while only 58% of Muslims cast their vote to elect the President of the Republic.
French TV station denounces sheep being stolen from pastures in the run-up to Ramadan – Muslims want to take legal action against the station
The Collective Against Islamophobia in Europe (CCIE) announced on Sunday April 24 a lawsuit against journalist Vincent Hervouët, presenter Pascal Praud and broadcaster CNews for “racial defamation and incitement to hatred” that, according to CCIE, took place in a television programme on March 30 dedicated to the possible victory of Marine Le Pen in the second round of the 2022 presidential elections.
On March 30, 2022, Vincent Hervouët spoke on the programme L’Heure des Pros 2 about Emmanuel Macron’s denial of the demands of some farmers, the CCIE reports. “In his account of the farmer who killed a burglar in Longré in the Charente department at the end of March, he lists the various problems faced by farmers, in particular the robberies and looting. Then he continues by accusing Muslims of stealing sheep during Ramadan and before the Aid festival,” it says. Apart from being wrong, Vincent Hervouët clearly targets the Muslim community, according to CCIE, and supports a racist view that has long been entrenched, especially since Sarkozy spoke of sheep being slaughtered in the bathtubs of Muslims.
In light of this accusation, the CCIE is filing a complaint against Vincent Hervouët, CNews and Pascal Praud for racial defamation and incitement to hatred. The responsibility of the media for creating the “Muslim problem” will not go unpunished, the NGO concludes.Maroc-Hebdo
France: A 21-year-old threatens to kill “the French and the police” “in the name of Allah” after pretending to target police officers in the street
A 21-year-old man threatened to kill “French people and police officers” in the street in Clermont-Ferrand (Puy-de-Dôme) on Wednesday April 20.
A police patrol was attacked on Wednesday April 20 by a pedestrian who used his hands to insinuate shooting at police as they stood on the Boulevard Gustave-Flaubert in Clermont-Ferrand.
After approaching him, the police officers discovered an agitated person who, “in the name of Allah” and making rather confused statements, threatened to attack “the French and the police officers”.
According to La Montagne, the 21-year-old man was then arrested and taken into police custody. He was released on Thursday and will stand trial in October.Actu.fr
Election fraud? 1.1 million votes for Le Pen disappeared
According to the latest election results, Emmanuel Macron won the run-off on Sunday against his challenger Marine Le Pen. Now, however, people are asking whether electoral fraud may have been involved. Like in 2017?
At around 9.10pm yesterday (2:50:50 in the linked video with the recording of the France TV election broadcast, which had started at 6.21pm and ended at 10:54pm), the state of the count was as follows:
Marine Le Pen 14,432,396 votes
Emmanuel Macron 14,214,825 votes
This, according to the TV presenter, was the current status of the votes actually counted and reported according to the French Ministry of the Interior.
The moderator pointed out that these figures only took into account the polling stations counted up to that point, which were mostly located in smaller municipalities where people tended to vote for Le Pen rather than in the big cities. Therefore, the (at that time current) status of the count did not allow any conclusions to be drawn about the final result.
However, the official final result was then:
Marine Le Pen 13,297,760 votes
Emmanuel Macron 18,779,641 votes
So between 9.10 p.m. and the announcement of the official final result, Marine Le Pen lost over 1.1 million votes that had already been counted for her?
Very similar “inconsistencies” already occurred in the last French presidential election in 2017. 4.07 million French people are said to have cast invalid votes in that run-off election – also between Macron and Le Pen. Reports that ballot papers with Marine Le Pen’s name had already been delivered damaged (=invalid) were striking. This happened in various regions of France. The ballot papers were torn or had cut corners. And it was always the ballot papers for the national conservative candidate.
