Zisterzienser nach Todesstrafen-Forderung von Lehre ausgeschlossen

Megabased priest. While he's of mixed national background, it's worth noting that one of those backgrounds is American.

On the other hand, Bishop Paprocki, originally a priest of the Archdiocese of Chicago, had been Chancellor under Cardinal Bernardin. 🤔

Bishop Paprocki on SSPX: "The Society of St. Pius X is now basically another Protestant sect that thinks they are right and the pope is wrong”

Such a looney take is uncharacteristic of Bishop Paprocki. The video on YouTube has 1100 comments, mostly negative. youtube.com/watch?v=qb-WvuKheCo

Pagliarani Blocked Fellay's 2018 Deal: "Rome Has to Acknowledge Its Errors"

If the FSSPX had signed that statement, it would have put the FSSP, ICKSP, et al. in a position to be forced to celebrate the Bugnini-Montini liturgy. "Even the SSPX affirms its validity" they would be told as the gun was held to their head.

Cardinal Müller at Consistory: "We Must Respond to the Lefebvrists"

Müller acts like many people who attend SSPX chapels don't want their children confirmed by an SSPX bishop. Does he even know what he's talking about?

Franciscan University Leaders and Theologians Issue Open Letter to the SSPX

Not only that, but they dishonestly imply the SSPX's concerns are all about the liturgy. (Their concerns, in fact, are principally about the perennial dogma of the Church, which the establishment unhappily departed from.) Then the faculty quotes Vatican II at the SSPX and all of us. How boneheaded can you be in such a statement? Why say anything at all?

Franciscan University Leaders and Theologians Issue Open Letter to the SSPX

It seems that this is signaling to the university's alumni and future students: "Don't worry. We're card-carrying members of the establishment in the Church. We continue to be a safe university."

Carmelite community of Campiègne martyrs to close

It won't surprise anybody to learn that these Carmelites went along with the novus ordo. "Move along. Nothing to see here."

Vatican.va Forges Scandalous Prayer of John Paul II

No. They'll have to be reconstituted from the remnants of them.

Alleged Abuse Victim: "I Could Not Understand How a Bishop Could Be Attracted to Men"

In a truly Catholic country, this would be a capital offense.

Cardinal Müller's Hard Line Against FSSPX and German Synodal Path

Interviewers need to begin pressing these waffling conservative cardinals by asking: Does not the Second Vatican Council have a relationship with the Protestant Reformation? If so--and it does--does not the solution for today have a relationship with the Counter-Reformation?

Bishop Schneider Explains Why the Traditional Latin Mass Is Rare in Kazakhstan

The way to interpret this is that Bishop Schneider believes that a reverent novus ordo is good enough for the faithful. Not good for his traditionalist credentials.

13% of U.S. Catholics Have Attended a Roman Rite Mass in the Past 5 Years

Even if Pew is understating the numbers, these percentages refute the constant claims of the Catholic establishment that those who attend the Roman Rite, that is, the TLM, are "miniscule."

Treu dem 2. Vatikanum: Heute besuchte Papst Leo das Kurzwellen-Radiozentrum von Radio Vatikan in Santa Maria di Galeria. Er dankte den Mitarbeitern und betonte, wie wertvoll es während seiner Missionstätigkeit in Lateinamerika und Afrika war, die Kurzwellensendungen von Radio Vatikan empfangen zu können, die Orte erreichen, die nur wenige Sender erreichen, und er bekräftigte den missionarischen Wert der Kommunikation.

Leo is making a reasonable statement. Catholics in the United States, for example, listen to Catholic radio stations on the AM dial while in their cars, even to this day. Catholic Answers Live, before it became anti-tradition by warning against 'rad-trads', was a valuable source of Catholic doctrinal education and apologetics, vis-a-vis Protestantism, for Americans listening on the AM dial. This is just the American experience, but good old fashion radio transmissions continue to be of value for the rest of the world on the go.
