Pope Leo XIV has "decided to follow the '1988 jurisprudence'" with regard to the episcopal consecrations of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) on 1 July, reports Rorate-Caeli.Blogspot.com on 25 April, referring to anonymous Roman sources. This means: "He is said to have already had a decree prepared that is similar in tone and content to the one promulgated by Pope John Paul II through Cardinal Bernardin Gantin, Prefect of the Congregation for Bishops, on 1 July 1988." The decree would declare the excommunication of the bishops involved, denouncing these episcopal consecrations as a "schismatic act". Excommunication of entire FSSPX ? Other Vaticanists have confirmed the core of the rumour. Niwa Limbu (Catholic Herald) reported on X.com that the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith is "preparing for the possibility of excommunicating the entire FSSPX, not just the bishops". Nico Spuntoni (Il Giornale) wrote that the Dicastery is "preparing for the possibility of a schism …More
Frankly, it is imperative for the Church to excommunicate the SSPX, to put the fear of God into the Crazy Ass Germans who want to create female Clergy. If the Germans get excommunicated, they will lose their big fat salary that no other organization enjoys........... About 200,000 Euro for a Cardinal to live on. However, if the German Government thumbs their nose to the Vatican, you can have a Completely Separate German Government run non-lutheran Church. Along with a German Pope. As far as the SSPX, they probably welcome the idea, just so they call stand VERY tall and say, " We did not leave the Church like other Schismatics...... We were kicked out by those who cannot tolerate us" Whether it happens or not, the Church is going through Great Turmoil. The Vatican and Francis has been kicking this can down the road, and now under Pope Leo the can is in a hole...... everything has to be addressed now. My humble advice: Pope Leo needs to create a parallel Catholic Church, Old and Modern
[Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich – XVIII-XIX Century AD; Flamschen, Holy Roman Empire/Dulmen, German Confederation; Mystic; Stigmatist, Writer] “II. THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION “2. SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE CONCEPTION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN. [Here follow various visions which Catherine Emmerich communicated at different times in the course of her yearly meditations during the octave of the feast of the Immaculate Conception. Though they do not directly continue the story of the Blessed Virgin’s life, yet they throw a remarkable light on the mystery of her election, preparation, and veneration as the vessel of grace. As these visions were related by Catherine Emmerich in the midst of much suffering and many interruptions, it is not surprising if they are somewhat fragmentary in character.] 2.1 THE ANGELS ARE SHOWN THE RESTORATION OF MANKIND.

"2.1 THE ANGELS ARE SHOWN THE RESTORATION OF MANKIND. I saw in a wonderful picture that God showed the angels how it was His will to restore mankind after the Fall. At first sight I did not understand this picture, but soon it became quite clear to me. I saw the Throne of God and the Holy Trinity, and at the same time a movement within that Trinity. I saw the nine choirs of angels, and how God announced to them in what manner it was His will to restore the fallen human race. I saw an inexpressible joy among the angels over this. I was now shown in a number of symbolic pictures the unfolding of God’s designs for the salvation of mankind. I saw these pictures appearing among the nine choirs of angels and following each other in a kind of historical sequence. I saw the angels helping to make these pictures, protecting and defending them. I cannot now remember for certain the order in which they appeared, but will tell in God’s name what I can still recollect. I saw a mountain as of precious …More
"Love it or hate it**, ‘prepping’ is becoming a way of life for many Catholics and with World War III brewing – or, some may say, already begun – our thoughts naturally turn to things both eschatological and practical. Damian Keller leads this article with a short reminder of our spiritual obligations and focus at this time. "Below that, you will find links to some helpful videos concerning practical considerations. These are not created by Catholics and are merely representational – there is a vast amount of information available for those who want to dive deeper into how and why we should make physical preparations. "(**If you are not convinced that prepping is compatible with relying on Divine Providence, then you may like to watch this documentary about the Siege of Sarajevo – a modern day case study in the realities of war and suffering. It reveals that in times of great hardship, people are grateful for the least bit of comfort; we can ensure even a little of this for our …More
I can confirm that story about Sarajevo firsthand. I can also say that during those years, God blessed us with an abundance of food from nature. The soil was very fertile—potatoes grew better than ever (almost twentyfold), and other vegetables were just as plentiful. The same was true for fruits like apples, pears, plums, and others, which we used to make delicious jams and get plenty of vitamins from.
Today, Pope Leo XIV has appointed Jesuit priest Joseph Samedi, 54, as Coadjutor Archbishop of Bangui. The appointment places Fr Samedi alongside Cardinal Dieudonné Nzapalainga, 59, who is only five years his senior. Background to the Appointment Cardinal Nzapalainga has led the Archdiocese of Bangui since 2012 and was made cardinal by Pope Francis in 2016. He rose to international prominence for his interfaith work during the Central African Republic’s civil conflict, particularly through the 'Plateforme des Confessions Religieuses de Centrafrique', a coalition of Christian and Muslim leaders promoting reconciliation. In recent years, however, local and regional reporting has pointed to growing tensions between the Archdiocese of Bangui and the Nunciature in the Central African Republic. The most sweeping allegations have come from journalist Jean-Paul Naïba, who accuses the cardinal of greed, financial misconduct, nepotism, and misuse of church-affiliated NGOs. Regional outlets including …More
[Mary of Agreda – XVII Century AD; Agreda, Spain/ Agreda, Spain; ‘Lady in Blue’; Abess; Writer; Mystic] “Chapter VI, part II ~ CONCERNING A DOUBT, WHICH I PROPOSED REGARDING THE DOCTRINE CONTAINED IN THESE CHAPTERS, AND THE ANSWER TO IT. 75. ‘The existence of different opinions regarding these sacraments and other mysteries in the Church, arises from the fact that I manifest and give light concerning one set of mysteries to some teachers, and illumine others concerning other mysteries; for mortals are not capable of receiving all the light. It is not expedient, that the knowledge of all things be given to one man, as long as men are viators. For also in the state of comprehensors, they obtain them in parts and according to the state and the merits of each. But the plenitude of all gifts is due only to the humanity of my Only-begotten and to his Mother in proper proportion. The other mortals receive it neither entirely, nor is it always given so clearly, as to assure them altogether.…More
"77. ‘Take notice also, my spouse, that very often I permit and cause differences of opinions among the doctors and teachers. Thus some of them maintain what is true and others, according to their natural disposition, defend what is doubtful. Others still again are permitted to say even what is not true, though not in open contradiction to the veiled truths of faith, which all must hold. Some also teach, what is possible according to their supposition. By this varied light, truth is traced, and the mysteries of faith become more manifest. Doubt serves as a stimulus to the understanding for the investigation of truth. Therefore controversies of the teachers fulfill a proper and holy end.They are also permitted in order, to make it known, that real science dwells in my Church more than in the combined study of all the holy and perfect teachers, and that she can make them wise above the wisdom of the worldly wise; that there is above them One, who is the Prompter of the wise (Wis. 7, 15…More
Coliva (or Koliva) is a traditional Eastern Orthodox ritual food made of boiled wheat berries, sugar, nuts, and flavorings, primarily used to honor the dead. It is served at funerals and memorial services in countries like Romania, Greece, and Bulgaria to symbolize the resurrection, the cycle of life, and Christian hope, often garnished with a cross of candy or powder. Usage: It is brought to the church, blessed during the service, and then shared among family, friends, and sometimes the community in memory of the loved one. Not just at funerals, but also for the 40 day and yearly remembrance. Explained: youtube.com/watch?v=CAIjkDG21YE How to make it: youtube.com/watch?v=SEAFGfZs8Kk
Prevost contradicts the Most Holy Virgin Mary, who revealed at Fatima that more souls go to hell because of sins of sexual impurity than for any other reason.
Apostate Robert Prevost endorses Bergoglio’s heresies: Prevost once again confirms that he possesses the element of obstinacy which establishes him as a manifest, pertinacious, and formal heretic. The Magisterium of the Church has decreed in perpetuity that the elevation of a heretic as Pope is invalid and null. The Church also teaches that the sin of heresy, schism, and apostasy separates the heretic from the Mystical Body of Christ—which is His Church—and that he who is not a member of the Church cannot be the Head of the Church. Apostate Prevost is a formal manifest heretic, … The Magisterium of the Church has decreed that the elevation of a heretic to the papacy, even if he were elected by all the cardinals, is invalid and null. Catholic Encyclopedia 1914 (Vol. 11, p. 456): “It is very clear that the election [as Pope] of a heretic, schismatic or woman would be null and void.”
Violence is not the religion of peace.. Italy is suffering from too many migrants whose ethics don’t conform to morality accepted by all normal people. Do we have a morality we all share as civilized people or don’t we....Are we supposed to turn the other cheek whenever someone stabs us?
By far the worst PM in Canada's history is now lecturing the world on good governance. If it weren't real, this would be humorous. Yes, former PM Justin Trudeau recently spoke in Singapore claiming the old international ties are no longer useful for world trade. There is a need to change economic relationships because of the President of the United States Donald Trump. So, Canada is now forced to economically get closer to Europe and China for trade. Trudeau never tells the audience that he was responsible for the cold shoulder Trump has given Canada. Trudeau and now PM Marc Carney have failed miserably to work effectively with Trump. They both have put their personal hurt feelings and serving the WEF ahead of Canada's security and economic prosperity. This is a mark of failed and incompetent political leadership. Whatever feminist, blackface Trudeau charged to give the speech is too much. His inept ideas are not worth a penny. Yes, he talks lot, but in the end he says little of use.…
Prevost obstinately rejects the authority of God and defies the Holy Spirit. Leo Affirms Francis’ Blessing Of Gay Couples Saint Paul teaches us that anyone who rejects the instructions to live in holiness and disobeys the Will of God—which consists precisely in the requirement that we Christians live in holiness and abstain from all sexual immorality—is not rejecting a human authority; rather, on the contrary, such a person is rejecting the Supreme Authority, which is the authority of God. Such a person rejects and defies the Holy Spirit. In other words, Prevost is committing the sin of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8 New Catholic Bible God Wills Your Sanctification Chapter 4 Respect for the Body. 1 Finally, brethren, you learned from us how you ought to live so that you may be pleasing to God—and as you are indeed doing. Now we ask and exhort you in the Lord Jesus to do so even more. 2 For you know what instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord …More
Daniel 12:2 “Many of those shall awake who sleep in the dust of the earth. Some shall gain everlasting life; others will earn shame and everlasting disgrace.
by Andrea Widburg Earlier this month, I wrote that a leftist outlet openly stated that migrants sexually assaulting European women is a great way to help assimilate the migrants. This was not a joke. Now, in another “not a joke” moment, a major German insurance provider has released a commercial reminding German women and men to use contraception, especially when one of the two men in the bed is definitely not German. AOK is one of Germany’s largest health insurance providers. One of its approaches to healthcare is to provide free access to doctors for contraception counseling and consultations. To promote this service, it created a 17-second ad. The ad shows a stereotypically Germanic-looking young woman leaving the arms of her sleeping, equally Germanic-looking (male) lover. Then there’s an overlay with a sultry video of the woman looking at the camera as she walks out of the room, along with the caption, “Mit irh?” (“With her?”) The main camera then shifts to a picture of the …
"Kwasniewski’s program for a new Church constitution (after years of heavy hints) has finally seen the light of day as a Manifesto translated from German and heavily inspired by Georg Hegel. This turgid text might only be closely examined by those sympathetic or scandalised enough to be bothered (it’s a pity Luther is not around – he could have helped with the prose), but it leaves one thing clear: Kwasniewski is no traditional Catholic....It is also for the reader to fathom how Kwasniewski’s declaration of neutrality1concerning the SSPX consecrations can be reconciled with his total support for a Manifesto centred on condemning these consecrations and ridiculing their justification."

Vinicius returns to the theme of High Church Modernism (see previous articles here and here) – that incoherent ideology found among many influential ‘traditionalist’ commentators but which is in fact a blend of occult mysticism, Vatican II ecclesiology and the rejection of the decrees of the dogmatic First Vatican Council. by Vinicius For Gallican “reformers” the Catholic Church has been all wrong for most of the last thousand years. Their unoriginal solution (in view of Lutheranism, Gallicanism, Anglicanism etc) is to go back to the “early Church”. Writers like Peter Kwasniewski, Sebastian Morello, and Tim Flanders can’t be sure exactly what period has to be dusted off or what this means; the only dogma seems to be anti-papalism and open-ended radical change to the constitution and even doctrine of the Church. Traditional rite Catholics who endorse the unorthodox novelties and equivocations in Vatican II texts have been thrown completely off-balance by the Society of Saint Pius …
100 Years of the Cristero War in Mexico: Bishop Invites Catholics to Learn About the Faith in Order to Defend It. (Note: we translated this article from Spanish. Any mistakes are ours.) During the commemoration of the centennial of the Cristero War in Mexico, the Bishop of Zacatecas, Monsignor Sigifredo Noriega Barceló, urged the faithful to deepen their understanding of the Catholic faith in order to know how to defend it today. The Cristero War, also known as the Cristiada, was an armed conflict that erupted in 1926 after President Plutarco Elías Calles intensified the enforcement of anti-clerical articles contained in the 1917 Constitution. This occurred through the so-called Calles Law, which imposed severe restrictions on religious life. In response, on July 31, 1926, the Mexican bishops suspended public worship throughout the country. Subsequently, the federal government responded with intensified persecution of Catholics. According to the Mexican Episcopal Conference (CEM), 'more …
Oradea, Romania // Armed Romanian gendarmes and police entered a Catholic Church during the celebration of Mass on Tuesday morning, April 14, in Oradea, initiating an eviction enforcement against Abbot Anzelm Fejes, superior of the 900-year-old Norbertine Abbey of Oradea, and seizing parts of the monastic enclosure. The unconstitutional intrusion and criminal seizure of the monastery took place despite the fact that the case remains under judicial appeal and has generated statements of formal legal protection from Romania’s highest state authorities and those of the Norbertine Order in Rome. According to Krónika, the enforcement began shortly after 9:00 a.m., when a judicial bailiff, accompanied by nearly 100 gendarmes and police, entered the Church of Our Lady of Sorrows while Mass was underway, during the time of Holy Communion. The Catholic faithful had formed a line at the entrance. The bailiff proceeded inside despite their presence. The liturgy continued uninterrupted. The …More
Adoremus will offer a series of courses dedicated to the newest translations of the Church’s liturgical texts, taking place in the oldest Catholic city in the United States. In partnership with St. Mary’s Seminary & University in Baltimore, MD—the cradle of Catholicism in the U.S.—Adoremus will be offering a series of non-degree, non-credit courses for the ongoing liturgical formation of priests, religious, and laity at the seminary’s Center for Continuing Formation.

April 21, 1923 Volume 15 The darkest point of the present society. This morning my always lovable Jesus transported me outside of myself, to a place in which one could see flags being waved, and parades in which all classes of people were participating, including priests. As though offended by all this, Jesus wanted to clasp the creatures in His hand to crush them; and I, taking His hand in mine, clasped Him to myself, saying to Him: “My Jesus, what are You doing? After all, they don’t seem to be doing evil things, but rather, good things. It seems that the Church is uniting with your enemies of before, and these no longer show that aversion for dealing with people from the Church; on the contrary, they call them to bless their flags. Is this not a good sign? And You, instead of being pleased with it, seem to get offended.” And Jesus, sighing and highly afflicted, told me: “My daughter, how you are deceiving yourself. This is the darkest point of the present society, and their union …More
