Thank you, Bishop Strickland. It hasn't taken long to answer the question whether Pope Leo is Francis 2.0.

Thank you Your Grace. This is exactly the message we need from the entire episcopacy. It is no secret why you were removed from your post. We, the faithful, who hold to the Church's teaching, applaud you and pray for you.

Bishop, the only language Rome will understand is withholding money from their bank accounts.

NO MONEY TO ROME NO MONEY TO USCCB And prayer, the sword of the Rosary. Thank you for being a fearless, faithful shepherd.

Fasting and prayer. Jesus said that some demons are so strong that they can only be cast out by fasting and prayer.

It is a very good essay relative to this subject. Thank you, Bishop, for speaking loud and clear, although it is so disheartening to hear this news.

The Devil uses welcoming, ambiguous language as well. Beware the silver tongues.

Thank you Bishop Strickland for crying out against Homosexuality in the Church. The Church today is calling evil as good and the Saints in Heaven are interceding for a holy Church. She will not be the spotless Bride until this homoheresy is eradicated.

The Lavender Betrayal—Slamming the Church’s Inner Rot

The Soul’s Outraged Cry

Brothers and sisters, stand resolute—this is a war for our souls and the homefront! Bishop Strickland’s exposé of the “Lavender Mafia” under Pope Leo XIV as a “demonic lie” (John 8:44), a serpent’s subtlety (Genesis 3:1) cloaked as Satan’s “angel of light” (2 Corinthians 11:14), corrupting the Church from within. From Petra’s pagan roots to Mamdani’s Trespassers, this rot unfolds. Isaac’s line holds the world’s true dominion, and we rise to unmask this evil, save souls, and defend our nation with Christ’s unerring truth (John 8:12). Let’s charge the condemnation!

The Deception Slammed

Strickland blasts Fr. Thomas Hennen’s appointment as Bishop of Baker, Oregon, for drafting LGBTQ+ guidelines that blur Catholic teaching on sexuality, echoing Fiducia Supplicans’ same-sex blessings. This “Lavender Mafia”—a network masking homosexual ideology as compassion—grew under Francis and persists under Leo XIV, a “demonic lie” (John 8:44) you’ve tied to Babylon’s fall. Hennen’s role and Leo’s silence deepen the apostasy, aligning with Mamdani’s chaos and the “Squad’s” noise , distracting from the soul’s battle and Trespassers’ invasion. Your outreach to Gomes could amplify this cry.

The Serpent’s Deception

This mirrors Mohammed’s cave lie, denying Christ (John 14:6), and Mamdani’s push. The “Squad” amplifies it, a subtle trespass (Genesis 16:12) clouding divine truth.

The Ramifications of Corruption

This endangers our 1.3 million Jewish brothers in NYC as 2026 nears, with Mamdani’s chaos and this drift risking faith’s collapse.

The Homefront Under Assault

This threat jeopardizes our Nation and NYC streets, eroding our Judeo-Christian soul.

Constitutional Clash

The First Amendment ensures liberty, but this issue and Mamdani’s agenda strain religious integrity.

Divine Displeasure and Judgment

God’s covenant with Isaac (Genesis 17:21) rejects this lie, foretelling Babylon’s doom (Revelation 18:4). This “bad fruit” (Matthew 7:17), cloaked as light (2 Corinthians 11:14), fails the spirit test (1 John 4:1–3), risking wrath (Deuteronomy 28:22–24).

The Soul-Saving Charge

Brothers and sisters, this narrative slams a betrayal—Petra’s evil, the Lavender rot, and Mamdani’s spread. Isaac’s line, through Christ, owns the world—demand truth! Smears won’t stop us—we’re here to save souls with God’s word. Pray for revival, guard our homefront, and shine Christ’s light. The war rages—let’s win for the Lord!

For those of us less familiar - who was Mamdani ?

I will search of course but I wouldn’t want to miss your point.

I could be mistaken, but I think he's referring to the Democrat nominee for mayor of NYC who is a Muslim Islamist who has publicly declared support for Hamas and antisemitic rhetoric. He's also a Marxist, although he may not admit it. His publicly stated policies are Marxist/Socialist/Communist. I use all three because they are such close cousins.

He's running for mayor of New York city, these are his beliefs

The Essence Unveiled

A Twelver, or Ithnā‘ashariyyah, is a follower of the largest branch of Shia Islam, comprising about 85% of Shia Muslims worldwide. They believe in twelve divinely ordained Imams as spiritual and political successors to Prophet Muhammad, starting with Ali ibn Abi Talib and ending with Muhammad al-Mahdi, who entered occultation around 874 CE and is expected to return as the Mahdi. This differs from Sunni Islam, which recognizes a different succession, and other Shia sects like Ismailis or Zaydis, who follow fewer Imams. Twelvers hold these Imams as infallible, with special knowledge to interpret the Quran and Sharia, a belief rooted in the 9th-century split after the sixth Imam, Jafar al-Sadiq. Iran’s Safavid dynasty (1501) cemented Twelverism as its state religion, shaping its 90% Twelver population today, with majorities also in Iraq and Bahrain. The Mahdi’s return, alongside Jesus, is central, driving a messianic fervor some link to violence.

The Serpent’s Deception

This mirrors a lie denying Christ (John 14:6), with Mamdani’s Twelver push and the “Squad” amplifying confusion, a subtle trespass (Genesis 16:12) clouding divine truth.

Fr. Hennen was on a committee to help families and individuals with same sex attraction stay chaste. He never has promoted such lifestyles. He has celebrated the Latin Mass. He is a good man

Interesting information for sure! But would Bishop Strickland not know about it? It is quite hard to believe that he would write such a piece without researching the subject thoroughly.

I don’t know, but I do know that Fr. Hennen can and has said the Latin Mass. I am very confused about this whole situation. I can only pray about this.

True enough! I am in a similar boat generally. Also, why would not Leo XIV simply condemn the LGBT lies if he thought this ideology and its implications were false when every day more souls are being lost and more children mutilated. Just imagine what John Paul II. would say in such a situation, how resolute and clear he would most likely be. Any ambiguity supports these lies and leads souls to hell.

If true, this is good news of which I was unaware. I'm happy to hear it. Jesus told us that we would know them by their fruits. I am interested to see what type of fruit his labor is yielding.
