Welcome to Traditional Catholics of Cebu

Welcome to Traditional Catholics of Cebu, in which it discusses everything related to Pre-Vatican II Catholicism in Cebu and the Philippines. I am very grateful that a priest of CMRI, Father Alexander Kryssov is visiting Cebu for the first time and for the first sedevacantist mass in Cebu to take place. Cebu is the cradle of Christianity in the Philippines, in which the first baptism took place, and is home to the miraculous image of the Santo Nino, an image given by Ferdinand Magellan to our ancestors.

Pray much for the future Traditionalist mission in Cebu.

                     During the liberation of Catholic Philippines, Our Lady, (right) gave a terrible blow to the Japanese sun goddess or demon, Amaterasu (left) who victimized many Catholics during the WW2 and during the persecution of Catholics in Tokugawa Japan from the 1500s to the 1600s.  ''For all the gods of the Gentiles are devils: but the Lord made the heavens.''

Douglas MacArthur landed in Leyte thus beginning the liberation of the Philippines, and weeks earlier, the Battle of Manila ended which destroyed many religious icons and churches dating back to the Spanish era.
