Transalpine Redemptorists issue new statement as case heads to Vatican
The Bishop of Aberdeen, Scotland, announced that he has been in touch with the Vatican to determine the group's canonical standing.
Nov 5, 2025
(LifeSiteNews) — A little over a week after the Sons of the Most Holy Redeemer issued a statement on October 16 repudiating “the Synodal Church as distinct from the Divinely constituted Catholic Church,” the Bishop of Aberdeen, Scotland, announced that he has been in touch with the Vatican to determine the group’s canonical standing.
“The Diocese deeply regrets the tone, direction and key elements of this Letter,” Bishop Hugh Gilbert, OSB said on October 24. “The competent Dicasteries of the Holy See are also studying the situation and will provide canonical and doctrinal guidance.”
The Sons of the Most Holy Redeemer is a traditionalist Catholic congregation with headquarters on the island of Papa Stronsay in northern Scotland, which is located in the Diocese of Aberdeen. The community was founded by Father Michael Mary Sim in 1987 under the auspices of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre and the Society of St. Pius X, and with the encouragement of Cardinal Édouard Gagnon.
Also known as the “Transalpine Redemptorists,” the group, which is still led by Fr. Michael Mary, as well as Fr. Anthony Mary, came to an agreement with the Vatican in 2012 under Benedict XVI. It has communities in the U.S. in Montana as well as Christchurch, New Zealand, though the group ran afoul of the Christchurch ordinary, Bishop Michael Gielen, who recently published a letter announcing that the Vatican supported his decision to expel them from the diocese.
On October 31, Fr. Mary issued a follow up statement on his community’s website. The post indirectly references Gilbert’s announcement but primarily focuses on Pope Leo XIV’s controversial claim made during a sermon at the Vatican where he said “no one possesses the whole truth.” It also rebuked the 6oth anniversary celebration of the Vatican II document Nostra Aetate held at Paul VI Hall.
Citing Scripture, the Council of Trent, papal documents issued by Pope Leo XIII and Gregory XVI, as well as other documents, Fr. Mary argued that we “consider there to be a new, modern Church” and that “the old Faith is not compatible with it.”
“During these gatherings, Catholicism was placed on the same level as all other world religions,” he said of the Nostra Aetate event. “There is a great need publicly to proclaim the True Faith and denounce error. The Mass of All Time is not enough on its own. Its inseparable companion is the Faith of All Time. The one without the other is senseless. They are two organs of the same body.”
READ: Traditionalist Redemptorists issue open letter to ‘repudiate the Synodal Church’
While commenting on Leo’s controversial sermon, Fr. Michael Mary stated plainly, “I’m sorry; if that is not complete denial of Catholicism as the only true Religion, the only means by which the One True God is worshipped, then I don’t know what is.”
“We can only read from this,” he continued, “that Leo XIV believes and teaches that the Catholic Church is not necessary for salvation. He has no desire to convert those whom he is addressing so that they may save their immortal souls, but instead insists that they should remain firmly within their false religion.”
Fr. Michael Mary added that: “It’s clear that Leo XIV’s teaching in these matters of Faith is not consistent with that which has gone before. It is equally clear from the silence of the Bishops, now and over the past 60 years, that they believe these things too.”
The priest also expressed shock over the inclusion of pro-LGBT Cardinal Matteo Zuppi at the Summorum Pontificum pilgrimage in Rome.
“The faithful fell at his feet to receive his blessing as he passed,” he noted. Yet “just days later, the same Cardinal Zuppi joined other non-Catholics lighting candles for peace at an interfaith prayer gathering, which seemed like a prelude to a One World Religion, its unity based not in the God of Truth, but human fraternity.”
“In such a religion there might be a place in a corner for the Traditional Latin Mass of All Time. But there will be no place at all for the Traditional Catholic Faith of All Time. The Truth of the past, and the truth of today cannot both exist at the same time in the one body,” he said.
Zuppi has repeatedly expressed pro-LGBT sentiments. He previously endorsed the book written by dissident Jesuit priest James Martin and heralded Fiducia Supplicans, which allows for clergy to bless same-sex “couples.” Zuppi, who was named cardinal in 2019 and appointed head of the Italian bishops’ conference by Pope Francis in 2022, also performed the wedding of the former Grand Master Mason of Rome in 2020.
During the Vatican celebration on Nostra Aetate, Cardinal Kurt Koch, prefect of the Dicastery for Promoting Christian Unity, shared that the document remarkably was in part prompted by the request of a Jewish historian.
“On the occasion of the meeting between Jules Isaac and Pope John XXIII on June 13, 1960, the Jewish historian presented the pope with a memorandum urgently calling for a new (way) of the Church relationship with today’s (man),” said Koch. “Pope John took up this request and commissioned the drafting of a declaration which … resulted in Nostra Aetate.”
Koch previously said that the Church does not have an official mission to preach conversion to the Jewish people.

How true these words still ring: “Well, we are not of this religion. We do not accept this new religion. We are of the religion of all time; we are of the Catholic religion. We are not of this 'universal religion' as they call it today-this is not the Catholic religion any more. We are not of this Liberal, Modernist religion which has its own worship, its own priests, its own faith, its own catechisms, its own Bible, the 'ecumenical Bible' - these things we do not accept.” (Archbishop Lefebvre Sermon, July 29, 1976)
Leo XIV Appoints Radical Left-Wing Bishop in Brazil: “For Liberation Theology - Against Ultra-Conservative Catholics!”

Pope Leo XIV appointed today Joaquim Giovani Mol Guimarães, 65, as Bishop of Santos in São Paulo, Brazil.
He was ordained a priest in July 1988 and appointed Auxiliary Bishop of Belo Horizonte in February 2006. On February 24, 2025, he was promoted to Coadjutor Bishop of Santos.
He served as Rector of the Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais (PUC-Minas) from 2007 until 2022. It is the largest Catholic university in the world.
Aligned with Marxist-inspired Revolutionary Ideas
In September 2016, Brazil's Marxist-inspired president, Dilma Rousseff, was impeached and removed from office due to fiscal accusations.
During this time, Auxiliary Bishop Mol spoke publicly in her defense.
He warned against political forces that he believed had harmed democratic life. He participated in a rally featuring union and social movement symbols (see video below). Without naming individuals, he criticized "traditional politicians."
2016: Introducing "Social Names" for Gender-Disordered Students
In 2016, as rector of PUC-Minas, Bishop Mol issued an administrative order introducing the concept of a "social name" at the university.
This name reflects a "gender identity" rather than the legal name.
In March 2017, Bishop Mol published a piece on Cimi.org.br titled "The Conservative Turn Threatens the Poor," in which he criticized social and economic policies perceived as conservative and neoliberal.
Supporting Abortion Activists, Against "Forced Heterosexuality"
In April 2016, Auxiliary Bishop Joaquim Mol, in his role as rector of the university, permitted a series of discussions that promoted radical gender ideology and abortion. The central theme was "decolonial feminism." No Catholic voices were invited.
The opening lecture was given by Rita Laura Segato. She is a prominent abortion activist who opposes "forced heterosexuality." She signed a manifesto in support of legalizing abortion in Brazil.
Other speakers included government officials who were implementing gender programs in public schools.
The traditional family was presented as a form of "oppression" and a tool of "colonial patriarchy."
Attacks Against John Paul II and Benedict XVI
According to BrasilDeFato.com.br, in September 2019, Bishop Mol recalled that, after "a period of reactive posture" during the pontificates of John Paul II and Benedict XVI, Francis had now vigorously resumed the Council's orientation, valuing "synodality."
Bishop Mol warned that synodality has not been well received by "some groups within the Church."
He saw great resistance among those who do not accept change and doubt the Pope's guidance. "These are people who react to the council with hurt, sadness, and resentment," he commented.
New Year Dream: "Away with Ultra-Conservative Catholics!"
In January 2022, Bishop Mor called for the “urgent and definitive change of the president [Jair Bolsonaro] and his cronies”.
In the same post, he longed for the "strengthening of progressive social movements", the "revitalization of liberation theology", "support for Pope Francis", and "the discrediting of fundamentalist, ultra-conservative Catholics".
