+Athanasius Schneider told Robert Moynihan that he disagrees with Víctor Manuel Fernández’s claim that the texts of Second Vatican Council cannot be modified. Schneider argued that only the Word of God—Scripture—cannot be changed. He said Vatican II was explicitly described by Pope John XXIII as pastoral and catechetical, not dogmatic or definitive. He added that Pope Paul VI also stated that the council did not intend to proclaim new dogma or definitive doctrine. According to Schneider, while dogmas cited from previous councils cannot be changed, pastoral formulations can be clarified, improved, or corrected. He pointed to the Fourth Lateran Council as an example, noting that one of its pastoral decrees required Jews in Christian cities to wear identifying signs—something he described as discriminatory and later rejected by the Church. Schneider said ambiguities in some Vatican II expressions should be honestly examined. He suggested that, like other councils’ pastoral statements,…More
In a February interview with Robert Moynihan, Bishop Athanasius Schneider addressed the SSPX and pushed back on Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández’s claim that Vatican II’s texts “cannot be modified.” Vatican II, as stated by Pope John XXIII and Pope Paul VI, was a pastoral council, not dogmatic. He cited the Fourth Lateran Council (1215) as an example of a council containing disciplinary statements the Church would not uphold today. On the SSPX, Schneider proposed bringing them into minimum canonical integration first, then continuing doctrinal dialogue. He warned that harshness risks creating long-term alienation and contrasted the Vatican’s strictness toward the SSPX with what he sees as a more accommodating approach toward China.
Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Parolin said today the Holy See “will not participate in the Board of Peace because of its particular nature, which is evidently not that of other States.” Added “at the international level it should above all be the UN that manages these crisis situations. This is one of the points on which we have insisted.”
On 16 February, author Philip Lawler wrote on CatholicCulture.com that Pope Leo XIV had made further decisions that consolidated the "reforms" introduced by Francis. Lawler notes that Cardinal Robert Prevost, as Prefect of the Congregation for Bishops, inherited the members of that dicastery who had been appointed by Francis. "If the new pontiff wanted to change the composition of the group and thereby alter the type of clerics chosen to become diocesan bishops, he could have done so last week when he appointed his own members to the dicastery. He didn’t." Leo XIV did not choose his own team, but instead confirmed thirty of the thirty-one dicastery members chosen by Pope Francis. The only exception was a religious sister who, at 81, was beyond the age of eligibility. Lawler adds that the only Americans on the panel are Cardinals Blase Cupich of Chicago and Joseph Tobin of Newark: "So American Catholics wondering whether the new Pope will appoint different bishops needn't wonder any …More
Pope Leo XIV confirmed 30 members of the Dicastery for Bishops on February 14 and added a 31st: Sister Simona Brambilla, prefect of the Dicastery for the Institutes of Consecrated Life and the Societies of Apostolic Life. The move signals his desire for continuity in episcopal appointments, unlike Pope Francis, who reshaped the then-Congregation for Bishops early in his pontificate.
Pope Leo XIV has named today Sr Simona Brambilla as a member to the Dicastery for Bishops. He also confirmed numerous previous members including the outrageously pro-homosexuals Cardinals Cupich, Tobin, Fernández, Grech, Tolentino de Mendonça, Cobo, or Heung-sik.

I fear Leo is worse than Francis. Leo is projecting a facade of cool, intellectual, honey-speak. He’s perpetuating Francis’ agenda, and since he’s from the USA, he has to be supported or you’re un-American, and it proves you are just a rigid hateful trad. Francis’s true image always came through with his perpetual scowl.
As part of that same process, the Parliament also voted on an amendment that would have stated “only biological women can become pregnant.” That amendment was rejected with 233 MEPs voting against it, 200 in favour and 107 abstentions.

Horrific. The LGBTQ+ movement is now advocating for pedophilia to be considered a new sexual orientation. “Pedophilia is simply just another sexuaI orientation. We need to overcome our negative feelings we have towards them and treat them with respect..” Being sexually attracted to children isn’t about inclusion; it’s necessitates essential therapy, treatment and strong boundaries to ensure no child is harmed.
This explains how they’ve killed the Church in one, short clip!
Catholic priest referred to administration of Holy Communion as "like feeding animals". The priest is Fr. Pat Fitzgerald at St. Paul of the Cross Church (Mount Argus) in Harold's Cross, Dublin, Ireland, given on February 11, 2026
According to the statement: “After clarifying certain points presented by the FSSPX in various letters, particularly those sent between 2017 and 2019 — including, among other topics, the question of the divine will concerning the plurality of religions,” Cardinal Fernández proposed a structured theological dialogue to clarify unresolved issues. However, the Cardinal emphasized that ordaining bishops without the Pope’s mandate “would constitute a decisive rupture of ecclesial communion (schism), with serious consequences for the Fraternity as a whole.” Consequently, the proposed dialogue requires the Fraternity to suspend any planned episcopal ordinations. The Superior General of the FSSPX will present the proposal to his Council and will provide his response to the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith.
Wed Feb 11, 2026 - 6:32 am ESTWed Feb 11, 2026 - 6:44 am EST (LifeSiteNews) — The Canadian shooter who yesterday killed nine people and wounded 25 others before committing suicide has been identified as a ‘transgender’ man. While initial reports described the suspect in yesterday’s shootings in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, as a “female in a dress with brown hair,” and details about the shooter from official sources remain sparse, multiplelocals have identified the perpetrator as Jesse Strang, a young male who identified as ‘transgender.’ Strang is believed to have killed two family members before proceeding to Tumbler Ridge Secondary School, which has fewer than 200 students enrolled in Grades 7 through 12. The town itself reported a population of only 2399 in 2021. So far, law enforcement officials are identifying the suspect as a “gun person,” avoiding the use of pronouns. Juno News has reported that Russell G. Strang, Jesse Strang’s uncle, confirmed Jesse was transgender …
Great comment. The only problem is that it makes sense, instead of legislatively empowering the delusion and letting them pretty much run (destroy) society. Thanks for sharing that.
I'm just going to riff here. You guys keep the beat... #1) round 'em all up, put 'em in the looney bin until they can figure out they’re not who they've been twisted into thinking they are. Many of them are victims, not perverts... though admittedly, perversion is the end game. Could take a while but it's worth it. #2) round up all the media personnel, not just electronic like tv, radio [PBS, et al], youtube, etc. but medical journalists as well, librarians, who've promoted this stuff, used pronouns because 'good manners', bla bla bla. Seize company assets, including investments. Sell at discount. Seize infrastructure company assets like Verizon, ATT, Cable this and that, nationalize them, eliminate porn yesterday, even the suggestion of porn. seize assets of pornographers, advertisers and agencies using porn as an influence operation. All advertising will fit this influence definition. Try them for crimes against humanity, the family... Undo free speech laws making porn, trafficking …More

Protestants.... For Ash Wednesday, one progressive church is offering "glitter ashes," which is ash mixed with purple glitter, and which "straight Christians" can don as a sign of "remorse...to our LGBTQ siblings."
French priest Father Matthieu Salenave was detained for 36 hours after blessing an 11th-century church reportedly facing demolition in western France. Salenave, a former member of the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) and now reportedly linked to the traditionalist “Resistance” movement Salenave said he was sprinkling holy water on St. Gault Church in Quelaines-Saint-Gault, Mayenne, when the mayor ordered him to leave. Police later arrested him at his priory, accusing him of violence against an elected official — a charge he denies. The church is among thousands of historic sites at risk of destruction. A petition with more than 32,000 signatures is urging the government to preserve abandoned churches under President Emmanuel Macron’s 2023 “Church Plan,” though critics say some municipalities continue demolitions without consequence.

China’s state-controlled Three-Self Patriotic Movement has pledged full support for the Communist Party’s new “Regulations on Ideological and Political Work,” which require all institutions to promote Xi Jinping Thought. In a January 21 interview, vice-chairman Shan Weixiang confirmed that Party ideology is now the top priority in church meetings and seminaries. Theological education must combine Christian teaching with political training, and some seminaries have created their own ideological textbooks. Churches are being reshaped into patriotic education spaces, required to display national symbols, promote socialist core values, and host Party-approved cultural activities. Clergy must attend regular political and legal study sessions and guard against “foreign infiltration.” The interview makes clear that the Three-Self Church operates as a propaganda arm of the Chinese Communist Party, enforcing ideological conformity while suppressing independent religious expression.
When you appoint sodomy friendly bishops and cardinals and send verbal and non-verbal signs you support sodomy - you became worse then Protestants. By the way, was this a prep for fiducia supplicans?
