A Call to Defend and JOIN WITH the SSPX in the Weeks Ahead. To Consolidate the True Church vs. the "Ape of the Church." Open Letter to Pope Leo, Cardinal Fernandez, Also My Bishop, Bishop Konderla of the Diocese of Tulsa





July 1st

Incoming SSPX Excommunication



May 1, 2026 A.D.

61 Days Until the SSPX Episcopal Consecrations

JMJ


Dear Holy Father Pope Leo,,Cardinal Fernandez, Your Excellency Bishop Konderla of the Diocese of Tulsa, 


INTRODUCTION


I address you in the title and office the universal Church recognizes.  This is distinct from the question if Francis was a formal heretic and therefore an anti-pope, and therefore any potential canonical consequences to your title and office (see Footnote).


In the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Holy Mother of God, and St. Michael the Archangel, I, Chris Kennedy, of Broken Arrow, OK, and all those joining me in spirit reading this letter and committing with me to this act, re-posting this across the Catholic blogosphere, this posted to my blog The Okie Traditionalist, calling upon all readers to join me, do hereby publicly  STAND BETWEEN YOU and the Devil, and the Society of St. Pius X and the wider Remnant Church. 





On one side of the spiritual battle field—which you created—is us in the position of defender and victim. On the other side is you in the position of aggressor and perpetrator.  What is at stake is the true Faith and Church, and the salvation of our souls. 


I call upon all readers to join me at this hour in defending the SSPX, the entire traditional Remnant, and therefore practically the true, traditional Church and Faith. Especially my fellow bloggers and podcasters.   To do so by confronting in the next 8 weeks the leaders of the modernist “Ape of the Church,” as foretold in the Book of the Apocalypse, the Constant Teaching of the Fathers and Doctors, and by Venerable Fulton Sheen who foretold that Satan: 



“Will set up a counterchurch 
which will be the ape of the [Catholic] Church. . . . 
It will have all the notes and characteristics of the Church, 
but in reverse and emptied of its divine content.”

- Venerable Archbishop Fulton Sheen


(Indianapolis, IN: Bobbs-Merril Company, 1948), pp. 22-25


In so far as Bishop Konderla has already complied with Francis’ motu proprio from hell, Traditionis Custodes, by removing last summer the only Latin Mass community in a parochial parish in the city of Tulsa, of 13 years, mainly because of the papal mandate, which I showed (LINKLINK LINK  LINK   LINK ), while also insisting that all Catholics who want their birthright of the ancient Mass, must first accept the doctrinal errors of Vatican II and the Novus Ordo, then he stands with those modernists representing the “Ape of the Church.”  


Until he changes those positions. 


That Regime of Modernist Novelty, is ready and prepared to drop a gravely unjust spiritual NUCLEAR BOMB not only on the entire SSPX, on July 1st, and likely on ALL 500,000 of the lay faithful attached to the Society (LINK), but through its shockwaves, in unforeseen ways across the universal Church.  


On every faithful Catholic by extension. 






Every bishop, including you Bishop Konderla, should call on Leo to STOP this, and instead show friendship and mercy in this hour, as the Society is begging for (LINK), and call out this impending grave injustice, following the holy example and recent interventions of Bishop Athanasius Schneider. 



LINK



Specifically, I call upon all Catholics in the Tulsa Diocese, many who read this blog these last 10 years, especially those attending the ancient Mass, whether at Most Precious Blood in the Tulsa suburb of Berryhill, Holy Cross in Wagoner, or at Clear Creek monastery in Hulbert, and in all parishes, to once and for all publicly study (LINK) and reject the doctrinal errors of the Council and Novus Ordo, the Protestantization of the Novus Ordo, and the false New Religion of modernism, that is the mocking “Ape of the Church.”


If Leo does this on July 1st, then I call upon all of you, and all Catholics faithful to Tradition, to JOIN WITH the SSPX, attach yourself to it, even from a distance, OR if unable, back away from your bishop and diocese, and establish  independent traditional Catholic chapels as was widely done in the 1970’s and 1980’s.  Make them oases of hope and catechesis, each with a YouTube podcast.  






Including in the Tulsa Diocese!  Even if the Society or another doctrinally un-compromised traditional priest can only come once a year, but stay in contact remotely.  Let us resist and stand up to the "Ape of the Church." 


(Disclaimer: I am not a sedevacantist, not saying to create a “parallel diocese,” to rebel against the bishop, to never attend approved TLM’s, nor to entirely cut yourself off from participating in spiritual activities within the canonical structure [ex: Eucharistic Adoration])



RE-ADDRESSING LEO


Leo, before you wipe out, as Bishop Fellay is predicting, 500,000 Catholics, you’re going to first have to go through me.  Chris Kennedy of the Tulsa Diocese, The Okie Traditionalist!  If you are going to scourge and crucify them, then please START WITH ME. 


Before you spiritually DESTROY these good and faithful servants, priests, brothers, sisters, oblates, third order members, and so many families, you’ll have to go through me first.  Even if you are the pope, you’ll first have to do your spiritual and psychological violence to me, and all readers who join me in this act.  


IF (?) Francis didn’t somehow automatically excommunicate himself for his countless heretical statements, or satanic, sacrilegious  abuse of Catholics and the Church, or illicit plans with the “St. Gallen Mafia” to be elected pope, yet still validly appointed Cardinals (?), and therefore IF you are a validly elected pope, you still have ZERO authority to banish Catholics for essentially maintaining the Faith.   For simply and SINCERELY making sure they have reliable bishops to ordain and confirm. 






Christ did not give authority to St. Peter and his successors to persecute those faithful to Christ and His Church.  Even without all the canonical, academic analysis, that obviously would therefore be utterly “null and void.”  



THE GLARING DOUBLE STANDARD


The contradiction and double standard is apparent to all more than ever, that you and yours favor false churches and religions in rebellion against Christ and the Church, like the Church of England and its female Archbishop you met with recently.  Without precedent, you essentially let her “bless” a group of people including a Cardinal who made the sign of the cross, in front of the very tomb of St.. Peter (!!!!!!!!).   ON THE OTHER HAND, SIMULTANEOUSLY, you are refusing to meet with the Society Superior General to discuss face to face a solution, but rather showing your disdain for those faithful to Christ and His Church, in comparison to you.  That hypocrisy alone undermines the credibility that your forthcoming “excommunications” should be taken seriously by anyone.


This is classic narcissism, cognitive dissonance, projection, and scapegoating.  I can hear the message loud and clear “Rules for thee, but not for me.”





An Abomination of Desolation 

Right Up There with the 

Vatican Pachamama Scandal

JULY 1ST.  THE FINAL SHOWDOWN


This final Showdown, which YOU now initiate, between you/the Ape of the Church, and the SSPX and the wider true Church, is straight from hell.   You will not be acting as a pope, bishop, or priest, but as Bob Prevost the 1970’s style modernist and liberal revolutionary, committing the severest of narcissistic abuse, scapegoating Catholics faithful to Tradition. 


You will ONLY be acting as Bob persecuting true Catholics. Likely HALF A MILLION people because their two auxiliary bishops are simply needing help.   So I am not standing up to you as the supreme pontiff, but to you Bob Prevost. 


Get behind me Satan.  In the name of Jesus Christ, I, Chris Kennedy, and all who would join me, tell you Bob Prevost, abuser of the Petrine Office, to stop this persecution immediately, to stop your plan for July 1st.  If you still go ahead and drop your Nuclear Bomb on the SSPX and therefore the wider universal Church, then me and the rest of the Traditional Catholic Blogosphere will engage YOUR World War against the true Faith and true Church, INDEFINITELY, to defend her even if you “excommunicate” all of us.  






Mark my words, if you do this, THAT is an Act of War, and we will RISE UP LIKE NEVER BEFORE, to defend the Faith, and ourselves, in new and unfolding ways you can’t even imagine, against your tyranny and persecution.  You have no idea how much resistance and counter-revolution will come after this.


IF you do this, unless God intervenes with a miracle, for which we must pray!  That God’s Will be done!!


You will be causing a kind of internal schism throughout the whole Church, on one side faithful Catholics, on the other side you and all the Vatican modernists and sodomites, the ones who during the day write your documents, but by night literally engage in homosexual orgies and cocaine INSIDE Vatican apartments.  


If you do this, there will be an “equal and opposite” reaction.  You have no idea the righteous anger and righteous spiritual holy war you will unleash if you do this.  You all were annoyed by all the “angry rad trad” bloggers especially since 2013, on the Internet, reacting to the emergence of “Francis-Church”??   Well, as we say here in the South, “you ain’t seen nothin’ yet.”





MY OFFICIAL STATEMENT OF FAITH AND ADHERENCE


I, Chris Kennedy, of the Diocese of Tulsa, do hereby officially and formally adhere, with complete support, with no reservation, to the forthcoming act of consecrating traditional Catholic bishops by the SSPX on July 1st, despite not achieving papal approval, to preserve the true Church and Faith, including the traditional priesthood, as being doctrinally, morally, and canonically  legitimate.  I will defend those consecrations, for those reasons, until either the Society one day needs another group of (merely auxiliary) bishops, or until I die.  If that “excommunicates” me, in your eyes, then so be it.  I do not want anything to do with the apostate “Ape of the Church.”


I, Chris Kennedy, of the Diocese of Tulsa, do hereby also completely adhere to the need of the Society operating in a state of supplied jurisdiction, because of an extraordinary state of necessity, due to the emergency state of doctrinal and liturgical crisis, which you and your conciliar predecessors ultimately caused. This is doctrinally and canonically legitimate, with past precedent, especially that of St. Athanasius during the Arian crisis. 


I, Chris Kennedy, of the Diocese of Tulsa, do hereby, also completely adhere to the rejection of the “Spirit of Vatican II” as expressed throughout its 16 documents and through it as a historical event, taken over and re-written by the modernists after the death of Pope John XXIII.  That spirit seeking to destroy the traditional Church and replace it with a Great Facade, to reduce the Faith of Christ down to a Masonic humanism which replaces the transcendent God with a man-centered, this-world-centered, nature-centered false religion.  


I, Chris Kennedy, of the Diocese of Tulsa, do hereby reject all doctrinal errors  in its documents which formally or materially contradict Catholic Tradition, higher level documents, and the Magisterium prior to the Council, in particular on religious liberty, collegiality, ecumenism, liturgical reform, Church-State relations, aggiornomento (adapting the Church to the evil spirit of the modem age), the hierarchy of purposes of marriage, the true nature of the Church in relation to Protestants and the Orthodox, whether or not Christians and Muslims worship the same God, etc.  I also reject the inversion of the nature of the Mass in the Novus Ordo missal, its heterodox obscuring of the sacrificial and therefore salvific nature of the Mass, and its Protestant spirit. 


It therefore cannot truthfully be called Catholic. 



I PLACE MYSELF LIKE A HUMAN SHIELD TO DEFEND CATHOLIC TRADITION AND THE SSPX


Therefore, I, Chris Kennedy, standing with Archbishop Lefebvre, am hereby willing to be the first person to accept the stigma and spiritual and psychological hardship of being FALSELY identified as a “schismatic, outside of communion with the Church, and excommunicated.”   That is, after the July 1st consecrations.  Or even now. The laity face excommunication as well, according to reports, but will still at least  be informally treated as “excommunicated schismatic” weirdo outliers after July 1st.  


Because of you.  


I can see you Leo, from a distance, approaching us on the horizon, dressed in the unholy garb of modernism and liberalism, armed with invalid and illicit abuse of papal power and the modernist errors of Vatican II, marching at us across the battle field, towards us who represent Catholic Tradition, especially official members of the SSPX, all SSPX Faithful, and all those who support the holy work of the great bishop-saint of our time Archbishop Lefebvre.   








YOUR PERSECUTION OF THE SOCIETY AND ALL TRADITIONAL CATHOLICS


You refuse to first meet with us?  To try and understand our grievances? To undo, even in part, the draconian Traditionis Custodes of Francis,  itself without just cause, taking away the ancient Mass from parochial parishes, and therefore from most Catholics worldwide who want/need the ancient Mass, otherwise unavailable in their diocese?  With no other Latin Mass nearby.  


So be it.  We will defend the Faith, standing with all the Popes prior to the Council.  We WILL NOT COMPROMISE on THE DOCTRINE OF THE FAITH.


We will defend our traditional parishes and families.  We will defend the Mass of the Saints.





From the Excellent Film "Catholics"

Starring Martin Sheen




The nearly 800 SSPX priests (plus sisters, brothers, oblates,seminarians, third order members), who you are about to hurl into the abyss, are not giving their lives for themselves, or as revolutionaries, to a cult, or to an NGO, but for the entire Church of 1.4 Billion Catholics, to reintroduce, or introduce to them for the first time, all the Church’s treasures, its patrimony, especially the ancient and venerable Roman rite of the Mass, which is their birthright.  They specifically give their lives to serve an estimated 500,000 SSPX Faithful, on all continents except  Antarctica (maybe one day, at a weather or science station),  including many, many large families.  


You are marching across the battle field toward us, on your evil black horse of narcissistic pride and vanity, to essentially, in a sense, spiritually decapitate and spiritually murder all of us, without just cause, even indirectly or materially if you choose to (technically) omit the laity from your motu proprio from hell, who in spirit would also still fall under its condemnation, and ostracization  from the diocese and groups like the FSSP. 






I armor myself with the Sacrament of Confession, the Sacrament of the Most Holy Eucharist, the holy rosary, and the traditional teachings of the Church, especially against the heresies of modernism and liberalism.  I, and all else who would join me, stand between your unholy army of Vatican modernists, and the SSPX and wider Remnant Church.  


Let us be a Human Shield to protect these holy priests, and the whole Traditional Movement!  Now!!


If you are going to invalidly and unjustly “excommunicate” the ENTIRE SSPX (Really???), THEN “excommunicate” me first from what Venerable Fulton Sheen foretold to be the “Ape of the Church” eclipsing the true Catholic Church!!!





"The Ape of the Church"



I walk out first onto the middle of  the battle field, holding high the Cross in one hand, and Our Lady’s rosary in the other!  I kneel and bow my head, holding it outward for you to chop it off with your unholy sword.  IF you choose.  I join the martyrs, in this period of spiritual martyrdom, in refusing to compromise even one little tiny bit of the true Faith.  To not burn one tiny grain of incense.  For nobody, not even for the Pope himself.  If adhering to the Society and its positions, including the need to consecrate more bishops, will result also in “excommunication,” then please, gladly if you must, chop my head off, put my name at the top of your list now, or order my bishop, Bishop Konderla to declare me “excommunicated” for this Open Letter. 


He has my email and home address.  There are two months before D-Day to first do your deed to me.  IF youwish.  You know where I live.



CALLING ALL LOCAL CATHOLICS AND BEYOND


Yes, in fact, I encourage all Catholics in the Diocese of Tulsa, including my local, fellow traditional Catholics attached to the ancient Mass, at Most Precious Blood, Holy Cross,,and Clear Creek, and all Catholics reading this, to also PUBLICLY make the same act of FAITHFUL RESISTANCE to the forthcoming motu proprio of “excommunication.”  To do this PUBLICLY online and offline directly to Leo himself, and to Bishop Konderla, between now and July 1st.  Even if we get “excommunicated.”







Respectfully Contact Bishop Konderla

To stand up and espouse these doctrinal positions, which are in truth  the traditional teachings of the Catholic Church, standing as a Human Shield, between Leo and the SSPX on July 1st.   


For as long as these invalid “excommunications” would exist on the books, that is your forthcoming Motu Proprio of Spiritual Murder, I gladly accept the stigmatization, any future social fallout, and any distress that might accompany all of that, that would likely follow.  I will celebrate being finally, officially, surgically removed once and for all from any link or connection to the “Ape of the Church.”  Out of love of these nearly 800 holy priests, that is for their holy work and MOVEMENT of Catholic Restoration, for all traditional Catholics, and for the whole Church.  


And mark my words, young people and young families especially, and young and old alike, will only continue to flock to Catholic Tradition, to the Traditional Latin Mass, including to the SSPX!  Your methods will backfire, a rebound effect resulting in an exponential increase of the very movement of restoration you and yours are trying to end!



CONCLUSION


Expect a Post-Consecration and Post-False-Excommunication blog post with photos showing how we celebrate.  I’m thinking maybe watch or re-watch the consecrations, print out the Motu Proprio of Spiritual Murder  and hang it in a picture frame near the family altar, as a Badge of Honor, some background folk music, cheese brats, sauerkraut, beer, and a cake with Archbishop Lefebvre’s image on it smiling, in icing.  







Expect that in spirit, if not explicitly, there are millions of Catholics already who in principle would take this position, as a Human Shield, willing to absorb and suffer the next forthcoming phase of persecution.  Who will be watching worldwide in support and solidarity with the Episcopal Consecrations of July 1st.  


To preserve the movement of Catholic Tradition.


Calling all Catholics.  Please share and spread this across all Catholic sectors of the internet. Post it to your social media feeds (links embedded below) showing support for this.  Join this Spiritual Human Shield around the Society of St. Pius X.  


A terrible, unprecedented act is about to be done. In just 8 weeks.  


Kyrie eleison.  Lord have mercy. 



Footnote from the Introduction:


This is distinct from the  question if the 2025 Conclave was valid (or the 2013 Conclave),  if Francis truly had papal authority to appoint new Cardinals who could therefore validly elect the next pope, or to validly confer jurisdiction on a new prefect of the traditional Holy Office (who is an Unrepentant Spiritual Child Porn Author), or to appoint in Tulsa the successor to His Excellency Bishop Slattery in 2016, who was appointed by His Holiness, Pope Benedict.
