Church Militant’s $1.5 Million War on Tradition and the Chaos of Benedict IX

Restoring the Ancient Faith Amid Scandals and Spiritual Battles

“The devil hates the pure transubstantiation of the Eucharist and the forgiveness of sins in the traditional rite—it’s why he attacks the old world so viciously.”

Modernists—those who dilute the ancient faith with contemporary compromises—wage war on the “old world” of traditional Catholicism, where the Tridentine Mass preserves the unadulterated mysteries of transubstantiation and sacramental forgiveness. This assault isn’t new; it echoes historical chaos like the scandals of Pope Benedict IX, where the papacy was sold and fractured into three lineages. Today, it manifests in attacks on defenders of tradition, such as the $1.5 million lawsuit Church Militant launched against Mike Parrott, only to drop it after draining resources and exposing hypocrisies. As we fight for the Monads—the original divine unities—against lesser demiurges and their archonic rulers, we see parallels in Jewish history: the removal from temple sacrifice leading to rabbinic Judaism, and the Star of David, introduced later and linked by some to Lucifer or Saturn worship, not ancient Hebrew roots. Here, we outline the stories, histories, and spiritual stakes, drawing from research to reclaim the old world’s purity.

I. CHURCH MILITANT’S COSTLY ATTACK ON TRADITION: THE MIKE PARROTT DRAMA

Mike Parrott, a staunch defender of Catholic tradition and a traditionalist podcaster with Restoring the Faith Media, became a target of Church Militant under Michael Voris. In 2021, Church Militant sued Parrott for defamation after he accused Voris of living a homosexual lifestyle and mismanaging funds. This stemmed from Parrott’s fundraiser for investigating FSSP priest Fr. James Jackson’s child pornography charges, raising over $150,000—funds Church Militant claimed were mishandled.

The lawsuit dragged on for nearly two years, costing Church Militant an estimated $1.5 million in legal fees, as Parrott noted in interviews. Ultimately, they settled: Parrott admitted wrongdoing, apologized, and paid $5,000 in attorneys’ fees. But the damage was done—public backlash led donors to pull out, contributing to Church Militant’s eventual shutdown in 2024 after another $500,000 defamation settlement.

Who: Michael Voris (Church Militant founder, resigned in 2023 for morality clause breach) vs. Mike Parrott (traditionalist, former Marine, my best friend and roommate in Los Angeles in 2014).

What: Defamation suit over accusations of hypocrisy and fundraising fraud.

When: Filed 2021, settled ~2023.

Where: U.S. courts, centered in Detroit area.

Why: To silence criticism of Voris and Church Militant, destabilizing traditional voices. Parrott defended tradition against modernist dilutions, making him a threat.

This $1.5 million fiasco exemplifies modernist attacks: wasting resources to silence tradition’s guardians like Parrott, who defended the old world’s purity against scandals mirroring Benedict IX’s era.

II. THE HISTORY OF POPE BENEDICT IX: SCANDALS, THREE POPES, AND LINEAGES

Pope Benedict IX (born Theophylact of Tusculum, ~1012–1055/56) was pope three times: 1032–1044, April–May 1045, and 1047–1048. From the powerful Tusculani family, he was nephew to Popes Benedict VIII and John XIX, grandnephew to John XII, great-grandnephew to John XI, and cousin to Benedict VII.

Who: Benedict IX, a young layman (age ~20) thrust into papacy via family bribery.

What: Notorious for violence, licentiousness, murders, rapes, sodomy; sold papacy to godfather Gregory VI for a pension (~£1,500 gold, per some accounts).

When: Elected 1032; ousted 1045 by Sylvester III; reclaimed briefly; sold to Gregory VI; reclaimed again 1047; deposed at Council of Sutri 1046.

Where: Rome and Papal States.

Why: Family power grab led to chaos; three popes claimed legitimacy: Benedict IX (Tusculani lineage), Sylvester III (Crescentii family), Gregory VI (reformer, but accused of simony). This “sede vacante” (vacant seat) crisis fractured the Church into lineages—each claiming apostolic succession from Peter (“whatever you bind on earth…”). Only validly ordained priests from these lines could confect sacraments, but modernism dilutes this purity.

This era’s devilish hatred targeted the traditional priesthood’s power—pure sacraments that modernists seek to undermine.

III. JEWISH HISTORY AND SYMBOLISM: FROM TEMPLE TO RABINIC, AND THE STAR’S ORIGINS

After the Second Temple’s destruction (AD 70), Jews lost sacrificial worship, shifting to rabbinic Judaism focused on prayer and study. This mirrors attacks on Catholic tradition—removing the altar’s power.

The Star of David (hexagram) isn’t ancient Jewish; adopted in 19th-century Zionism. Some theories link it to Saturn/Remphan (Acts 7:43), a pagan star-god, or Lucifer in occult contexts—not original Hebrew but introduced via Kabbalah/magic.

IV. FIGHTING FOR THE OLD WORLD: MONADS VS. DEMIURGES AND ARCHONS

We restore the old world against modernist attacks, fighting for Monads (primal divine unities in Gnosticism) over demiurges (false creators) who spawn archons (oppressive rulers). The Lord turns from idolaters worshiping lesser gods—not because they’re evil, but misguided. Traditional priests preserve this purity, hated by the devil for their sacramental power.
