Cardinal Robert McElroy of Washington now says he removed Msgr. Stephen Rossetti as a Washington exorcist not because of his demons-and-UFOs comments, but because exorcism should be a private ministry. In a June 29 interview released July 8, McElroy said his objection was that exorcists should stick to quietly helping people in serious cases, not operate publicly: "It wasn't touching on the question of UFOs... my major objection is that I think the traditional role of an exorcist is a very private one." That explanation contradicts the archdiocese's own June statement announcing the removal. It said Rossetti's UFO comments "gravely undermine the Church's very precise teaching on the devil, demons and exorcism." Monsignor Rossetti had said in a video that he thinks many UFO sightings are demons capable of feats beyond human ability, such as impossible high-speed maneuvers. #newsYvdpsotlwj
Leo XIV Is the New Caiaphas Leo XIV succeeded Francis as the new Caiaphas. Caiaphas was a man of power, the highest authority in the hierarchy of the Temple in Jerusalem. Leo XIV is also a man of power, and almost every Catholic submits to him. Imagine if God, Our Lord Jesus Christ, had submitted to Caiaphas. Who is foolish enough to think that, if Christ were here today, He would submit to Leo XIV and his "Lavender Mafia," the leaders of the homosexual Synodal Church? I am so disappointed with "Trad Inc." that I might have to write a special article about them, naming them and denouncing them. I know it is going to happen sooner or later, and when it does, they will squeal like rats.
Archbishop Georg Gänswein hopes the restrictions on the Mass in the Roman rite will be lifted, he told Il Giornale on July 7. Looking back to Benedict XVI's 2007 Motu Proprio Summorum Pontificum, Monsignor Gänswein said the Pope wanted to restore “full rights to a rite that had never been abolished”: “His goal was to give it its rightful place again within the Church and to restore peace in the Church's liturgical life.” According to Archbishop Gänswein, Summorum Pontificum was not conceived as a step toward reconciliation with the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X. Rather, “it was directed toward the Church itself.” Benedict XVI was pleased with the results of this reform. “It was beginning to bear fruit. It worked especially well among young people, and this is evident above all in the steadily growing numbers participating each year in the Paris-to-Chartres pilgrimage.” Monsignor Gänswein added that these young people are not opposed to the Second Vatican Council: “Anyone who …ပိုမို
On July 6, Cardinal Gerhard Müller told K-TV.org that FSSPX confessions are illicit but valid. Now he has repeated his disagreement with the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith. Its explanatory note from July 2 had claimed that confessions heard by FSSPX priests are "invalid." "The note from the Dicastery, which appears only as explanatory notes, is unclear," Cardinal Müller told Andreas Wailzer on X.com on July 8. He added: "The authority to forgive sins is conferred by Christ Himself in the sacrament of Holy Orders. It is not conferred by the Pope through his primacy of jurisdiction. Orthodox priests, too, validly grant absolution." Müller continued: "The Pope can only prohibit the exercise of this authority. He can also reserve certain sins for his own absolution. One example is the sin against the unity of the Church, committed through an unauthorized episcopal consecration." #newsMpjletlqsm
A Roman intelligence investigation has led to the arrest of two former Italian intelligence agents, Gavino Raoul Piras and Vincenzo Di Pasquale, who are accused of selling classified information to the Russian GRU (military intelligence). The investigation, which began in 2025, was initiated after the Italian AISI (Internal Security Agency) detected the Russians had recruited an ex-agent. The Russian agent, Mikhail Astakhov, operated under a diplomatic cover in Italy, allowing him to avoid arrest.
U.S. Ambassador to the Holy See Brian Burch has described an informal Independence Day dinner he hosted for Pope Leo XIV at his residence in Rome. Speaking with Italian media, Burch said the pope arrived at 7:30 p.m. on July 4, prayed with the ambassador's family, and shared a meal featuring American charcuterie, watermelon salad, Chicago-style hot dogs, apple pie, and gelato. Burch said Leo XIV approved of the menu. The pope arrived without aides or secretaries, accompanied only by two Vatican gendarmes. Burch said he invited Leo XIV to mark the 250th anniversary of the United States by hosting the first U.S.-born pope. The invitation was sent about two months before the dinner, and confirmation came about a month later. The ambassador also said Leo XIV still carries a Peruvian credit card, uses a cellphone, follows the Chicago White Sox, and sometimes wakes during the night to check soccer scores. The dinner took place the same day Leo XIV visited Lampedusa. Burch said the pope rejected …ပိုမို
But no time to meet with SSPX Bishops who have 700,000 Catholics, 700 Priests and 300 Seminaries in their care, who have been repeatedly been asking for an audience to discuss their very valid concerns about the spiritual needs of their flock.
" The document of Benedict XVI, Summorum Pontificum, does not create a new liturgical rite..." --- No, it was Montini with Bugnini who created it. Ratzinger just tried to save it by imposing a legal fiction of two forms of the same rite for ontologically and historically different rites.
The Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) rejected a Doctrinal Declaration proposed by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF), which would have been followed by the granting of a canonical status, Monsignor Guido Pozzo told LaNuovaBq.it on July 7. A meeting took place on 28 February 2018 at the Congregation between Cardinal Luis Ladaria, then Prefect, Monsignor Guido Pozzo, and Bishop Bernard Fellay. Bishop Fellay said he would submit the Declaration to the FSSPX General Chapter, scheduled for July 2018. At that Chapter, on 11 July 2018, Father Davide Pagliarani was elected Superior General. In the autumn of 2018, Cardinal Ladaria and Monsignor Pozzo met with Father Pagliarani. Monsignor Pozzo on Fr Pagliarani: "He informed us that he would not sign the Declaration, as he considered it insufficient and inadequate to address the difficulties and critical issues raised by the FSSPX, and that Rome would have to acknowledge its errors."

Bishop of Liège Wishes New FSSPX Priest Well: Bishop Jean-Pierre Delville of Liège, Belgium, wished Fr. Vincent Richter, ordained for the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X at Écône on 29 June, well in his future mission in Brazil and urged him to serve Christ "as an authentic disciple of the Gospel." His tone was firmer after the FSSPX's four episcopal consecrations on 1 July without a papal mandate, describing them as deepening the Society's separation from Rome while still calling for continued dialogue.
Apostate Jorge Bergoglio: No Catholic Mass available? Just go to the Anglicans! It is not licit for the faithful by any manner to assist actively or to have a part in the sacred [rites] of non-Catholics. (Canon 1258 §1) Whoever in any manner willingly and knowingly helps in the promulgation of heresy, or who communicates in things divine [=assists at sacred rites] with heretics against the prescription of Canon 1258, is suspected of heresy. (Canon 2316) It is unlawful for Catholics in any way to assist actively at or take part in the worship of non-Catholics (Canon 1258). Such assistance is intrinsically and gravely evil; for (a) if the worship is non-Catholic in its form (e.g., Mohammedan ablutions, the Jewish paschal meal, revivalistic “hitting the trail,” the right hand of fellowship, etc.), it expresses a belief in the false creed symbolized; (b) if the worship is Catholic in form, but is under the auspices of a non-Catholic body (e.g., Baptism as administered by a Protestant minister …ပိုမို
Cardinal López Romero Steps Back Amid Investigation: Spanish-born Cardinal Cristóbal López Romero, Archbishop of Rabat, has stepped back from public ministry after five adult women filed complaints against him. The Vatican has opened a preliminary investigation, while the cardinal denies all allegations. The women accuse López Romero of unwanted physical contact, including prolonged hugs, attempted kisses, and other conduct they describe as sexually inappropriate.
At least five women have accused Cristobal Cardinal Lopez Romero, the Spanish-born Archbishop of Rabat, Morocco, of sexual violence, prompting the Vatican to open a formal investigation into the Pope Francis appointed Cardinal.

In a July 6 InfoVaticana.com opinion piece ("Tribune"), Pedro Gómez Carrizo argues that decades of doctrinal and disciplinary drift have hollowed out the Church's authority. He writes that Leo XIV demands obedience from the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X. after years of treating other disputes as negotiable, contextual, or exempt. Leo XIV' Priorities Exposed Rome has tolerated what Carrizo considers far more serious ruptures than the episcopal consecration of the FSSPX: - Germany's Synodal Way, which has drifted toward schism without consequence. - Episcopal appointments negotiated with China's Communist Party. - Blessings of homosexual couples. - Liturgical experimentation. - Synodality, which has repackaged old heresies as "innovation". The willingness to make exceptions in many controversial areas while drawing an absolute line at Écône, Carrizo contends, exposes the pope’s priorities rather than his strength. "The Signature Is Tucho's; the Failure Is Leo XIV's" Carrizo portrays …ပိုမို
Prevost did not inherit a "crisis"; rather, he is part of the apostasy of his infamous mentor Bergoglio—part of the anti-Christian army waging war against God—which is something very different. Refusing to see reality means being under a diabolical spell. Let us begin with the irrefutable fact that Benedict did not resign from the papacy; there was a flaw in the resignation—whether involuntary or voluntary—that rendered it invalid. Consequently, there was no apostolic succession, and we are facing yet another false pope who openly defies God and the Church—one who acts against the faith and against morality. Against the faith: he promotes the heresy of religious indifferentism under the guise of "ecumenism"; he profanes the priesthood and the papacy by recognizing the elevation of a female Lutheran heretic as legitimate; he calls a mosque—where the false god Allah is worshipped—a "sacred place"; and from the very beginning of his sacrilegious, apostate priesthood, he has offered worship …ပိုမို

Catholics may not knowingly take part in the liturgical celebrations, apostolates, or other activities of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X, Archbishop Shawn McKnight of Kansas City, Kansas, wrote in a July 2 statement following the episcopal consecrations. McKnight noted that the SSPX's ministry "is not legitimate in the life of the Church" and that "the sacraments of Penance and Matrimony administered by them are now invalid." Participation in the worship of the "schismatic" community fosters separation from the Church's communion, he added: "Such participation is not merely discouraged but is gravely contrary to the unity of the Church and, when undertaken with full knowledge and deliberate consent, is sinful." #newsAetnoekkoi
He's undoing his predecessor's [Archbishop Naumann - a "foe" of Francis] wise, pastoral advice who decreed that anyone could attend services at the Immaculata (the huge, new SSPX church in St. Mary's KS See: The Immaculata Church Project) if they did so "for reasons of personal piety" not rebellion. I traveled there and received the sacraments. It's truly a wonder!!!
