By remaining within the Church under false pretenses, the Modernists try to modify, and thus destroy, the Catholic Faith. In the wake of Vatican II, an unprecedented number of changes have been implemented in the Church. Not only was the ancient rite of Mass changed, but there was also a new canon law, a new catechism, new prayers/songs, a new liturgical calendar, a new Bible translation, new canonization procedures, new rites for ordination and baptism, new rosary, new stations of the cross, new exorcism procedures, indulgences were changed, etc.
One of the changes is the New Stations of the Cross. They replaced the traditional version with a new version more suitable to Protestants.

Pope Pius X, Pascendi Dominici Gregis,
September 8, 1907:
"It must be confessed that the number of the enemies of the cross of Christ has in these last days increased exceedingly, who are striving, by arts, entirely new and full of subtlety, to destroy the vital energy of the Church, and, if they can, to overthrow utterly Christ's kingdom itself. . .#3. Moreover the Modernists lay the axe not to the branches and shoots, but to the very root, that is, to the faith and its deepest fires. And having struck at this root of immortality, they proceed to disseminate poison through the whole tree, so that there is no part of Catholic truth which they do not strive to destroy. #18 Hence in their books you find some things which might well be expressed by a Catholic, but in the next page you find other things which might have been dictated by a rationalist. . .#26. First of all the Modernists lay down the general principle that in a living religion everything is subject to change, and must change, and in this way they pass to what may be said to be, among the chief of their doctrines, that of Evolution. To the laws of evolution everything is subject - dogma, Church, worship, the Books we revere as sacred, even faith itself, and the penalty of disobedience is death. . .#39. And now, can anybody who takes a survey of the whole system be surprised that We should define Modernism as the synthesis of all heresies?"

On Good Friday, 1991 the modernist John Paul II introduced a new set of Stations of the Cross
Everything is new in the Vatican II religion because Vatican II is a New Religion. Vatican II is not the Catholic Religion. In the New Stations of the Cross, the Last Supper is designated as the First Station, and the Resurrection as the fourteenth.
We pray the Stations Of The Cross as a Catholic devotion to meditate the Passion and Death of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The Resurrection of Jesus Christ is not the Passion and Death of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The Resurrection of Jesus Christ cannot be a part of the Catholic Stations of the Cross.
The New Stations of the Cross should be ignored. The reason this should be ignored is because it changes the very purpose of the Lenten "Way of the Cross" devotion, which is to focus on His Passion, it is not traditional, and it is an appeasement to Protestants who has destroyed the liturgy.
