The Last Tribunal - A Sedevacantist at the pearly Gates

The Last Tribunal A Sedevacantist at the Pearly Gates The Kurgan died convinced he was right. That, unfortunately, was not considered a mitigating factor. He stood before the Pearly Gates in a posture he imagined was dignified—arms crossed, jaw set, already preparing his opening argument. He had rehearsed this moment for years. Heaven, after all, would surely recognize one of the last true Catholics. Saint Peter glanced down at the ledger. “Name?” “The Kurgan,” he said. “1958 Catholic. Totalist. I rejected the apostasy.” Peter sighed—not heavily, just wearily, like someone who had heard this exact speech far too many times. “Very well,” Peter said. “We’ll proceed in order. Ten Commandments first. Then the Precepts of the Church.” The Kurgan smiled. This would be easy. The Third Commandment: Keep Holy the Sabbath Peter flipped a page. “Mass attendance?” “I couldn’t attend,” The Kurgan replied confidently. “There were no valid priests. Vatican II invalidated them.” Peter raised an eyebr...

Unity, Communion, and the Danger of a “False Church” Framework

A pastoral response to recent claims about Vatican II, unity, and the Church Recent discussions surrounding a Substack article titled “Unity! – The False Church’s Passion Project” reveal a deeper problem than disagreement over Vatican II, liturgy, or ecumenism. What we are witnessing is a collapse of ecclesiological clarity , where legitimate critique gives way to language and assumptions that quietly erode communion itself. This response is not meant to silence questions. It is meant to slow the conversation down , return it to the sources, and expose where rhetoric has replaced theology. 1. The Problem Begins with the Frame The phrase “False Church” is not a casual expression. In Catholic theology, it is a technical claim . The Church does not recognize parallel “true” and “false” churches operating side by side within the same visible body. Christ founded one Church, visible and historical, guarded by apostolic succession. To frame the Catholic Church as a deceptive entity while s...

Sedevacantism Book review - pages 1-14

Reclaiming the Catholic Church — A Close Look at Pages 1–14 How the Foundations Collapse Before the Argument Even Begins** Before he ever reaches a document of Vatican II, the Kurgan's introduction quietly constructs the entire worldview that will govern his interpretation. Pages 1–14 are not mere preliminaries; they are the psychological and epistemological scaffolding on which the whole project rests. Once those foundations are exposed, the rest of the book becomes predictable — because the conclusions were predetermined long before any evidence was examined. Below is a summary of what emerges when we read his introduction with care. 1. A Disquieting Disclaimer: “Not responsible for injury or death.” Kurgan opens with a disclaimer that no theological book needs: “Neither the publisher nor the author shall be liable for any loss, damage, injury, death…” In normal publishing, this kind of language appears in extreme fitness manuals , occult texts , or survivalist guide...

A Critical Review of Ivan Dragičević’s April 2025 Talk: Doctrinal Reflections and Ecclesial Concerns

A Critical Review of Ivan Dragičević’s April 2025 Talk: Doctrinal Reflections and Ecclesial Concerns By George Hults (PadreGeo) In April 2025, Ivan Dragičević—one of the six alleged visionaries of Medjugorje—delivered a public talk recounting his original experience of the 1981 apparitions and sharing alleged ongoing messages from the Blessed Virgin Mary. As a Catholic deacon committed to both pastoral care and doctrinal clarity, I believe it is essential to examine such public events through the lens of Church teaching, especially when they involve unapproved private revelation. This review is not an attack on Ivan’s sincerity or the personal faith of those drawn to Medjugorje. Rather, it is an effort to illuminate what aligns with Catholic doctrine, what crosses theological and ecclesial boundaries, and why the Church exercises caution in these matters. The Good: Doctrinal Alignment and Spiritual Encouragement Let us begin by acknowledging what was praiseworthy and spiritually orthod...

The Warlord Without a Weed Whacker

When Fantasy Collides With Overgrowth and Incompletion There’s a certain tragic comedy in watching a man spend two thousand words telling you how busy he is—while producing nothing but more two thousand-word blog posts. The Kurgan’s latest lament, titled simply “Busy,” reads like a dispatch from a parallel universe where half-finished projects are medals of honor and unchecked brambles are proof that he was meant to lead a militia, not mow the lawn. His olive trees, he tells us, thrive. Everything else, from book drafts to children’s RPGs to the literal property he bought to play at rural nobility, lies in some state of abandonment or entropy. And why? Not because he failed. No, never that. But because he was destined for higher things. You see, he’s not a failed farmer. He’s a baron waiting for the apocalypse. “If only the damn weak pedovores would get to the apocalypse part already, I could fill in my nature role of warlord, protect my peasants, and they would be happy tilling ...

The Loneliest Man in the Kurganate

There was a strange chapter in The Kurgan’s online life — about two years ago — when he tried to reinvent himself yet again. This time, not as a spiritual warrior, Catholic inquisitor, or hypnotist-mage, but as a homesteader. He made thirty-seven YouTube videos. Fixing roofs. Cutting firewood. Doing chores around the property. And in all thirty-seven videos… he is utterly alone. No friends. No brothers. No helpers. Just a man performing for a camera in the woods, trying to look like a rugged pioneer — but revealing instead the tragic emptiness behind the mask. If The Kurgan truly embodied the strength, charisma, and leadership he constantly claims, he would not be alone. He would have real friends. Real community. Real brotherhood. That’s how it works with men who live in truth. People show up. They offer help. They stay. But no one is there. Because he’s built a life on division. On chasing enemies, building echo chambers, and shouting down every Catholic who doesn’t bow to his...

The Kurgan: Jack of All Trades, Master of… None?

You can’t be a world-class surgeon and a top-tier trial lawyer. You can’t train to be an Olympic swimmer and a Navy SEAL and a classical concert pianist… all at the same time. Why? Because mastery takes time. Because reality has constraints. And because no matter how much testosterone you inject into your rhetoric, you only get 24 hours in a day like the rest of us . But then there’s The Kurgan. According to his own words and bios over the years, he is: A hypnotist trained in trauma recovery and positive hallucinations An NLP practitioner A martial artist (in multiple disciplines, of course) A theologian and apologist who’s solved the sedevacantist puzzle A father of many, including one daughter allegedly abducted to Brazil A computer security expert A sci-fi author, book publisher, and prolific writer (20 books in 7 years!) A visionary scientist founding a globe-spanning research cult modeled after Hellboy A homesteading farmer with a side hustle in...
