Asked for an example of a condition that the SSPX could not accept in order to be in full Communion with Rome, the Superior General goes scorched earth: “The first example that comes to mind dates back to 2019, when Pope Francis, on the occasion of his visit to the Arabian Peninsula, signed, together with an imam, the well-known Abu Dhabi declaration. Together with the Muslim leader, he affirmed that the plurality of religions had been willed as such by divine Wisdom. It is evident that a communion founded upon the acceptance of such a statement, or which would include it, would simply not be Catholic, since it would constitute a sin against the First Commandment and the denial of the first article of the Creed. I consider such a statement to be more than a simple error. It is simply inconceivable. It cannot be the foundation of Catholic communion, but rather the cause of its dissolution. I believe that a Catholic should prefer martyrdom rather than accept such an affirmation.”
Starmer today: "I am sorry for believing Mandelson's lies" He knew the history of dishonesty. He knew the Epstein links. He appointed him anyway. Either Starmer thought he was untouchable or is dangerously gullible. Either way he's unfit to lead.
Jeffrey Epstein was offered a viewing of anti Catholic 'artwork' known as 'Piss Christ' 'Artist' Andres Serrano laughed about the fact that Catholics would be there to protest against the Crucifix soaked in urine
VATICAN: “Contacts between the Society of Saint Pius X and the Holy See continue, with the aim of avoiding disagreements or unilateral solutions to the problems that have arisen.”
Matteo Bruni, The Director of the Holy See Press Office, has told me that: "Contacts between the Society of Saint Pius X and the Holy See continue, with the aim of avoiding disagreements or unilateral solutions to the issues that have emerged."
Have they already forgotten that Prevost said he is one with heretics, schismatics, and apostates, or have they already forgotten the homosexual desecration and the Pachamama ritual in St. Peter's Basilica? Have they forgotten how Prevost defied God and the Church by supporting homosexuality with Fiducia Supplicans?
Good find, Wilma Lopez. I suspect the changes in the Vatican are related to pressure from the powers that shouldn't be, and that these donations are the tiny tip of a much bigger iceberg.

Lutheran church recites a re-mixed reading of the Beatitudes (video unblurs in 5 seconds) "Blessed are we when we dare to dream of a world without sexual violence, without white supremacy, without misogyny, without police brutality, without anti-trans and anti-queer violence." From Advent Lutheran (ELCA) of Madison Christian Community Madison, Wis.
Pure heresy! But scandalously MANY prelates in the Catholic Church ALSO see the customs & teachings of the Church as vehicles for woke, progressive causes!
Bishop Georg Bätzing, outgoing President of the German Bishops’ Conference, says that the German Synodal Assembly will not proceed without the green light from the Pope; “it would be a provocation to be avoided. However, I have no reason to doubt that timely approval will be forthcoming.”
At the close of its sixth assembly in Stuttgart on Saturday, the German Synodal Assembly narrowly approved, by the required two-thirds majority, a resolution authorizing the creation of a national Synodal Conference planned for the autumn. The central dispute concerned whether the new body should "monitor" the implementation of synodal resolutions in the dioceses. Even Cardinal Reinhard Marx of Munich warned against creating a superior authority that would supervise bishops or interfere in diocesan governance. “I do not want that,” Marx said. Similarly, Bishop Peter Kohlgraf of Mainz said that a control body overseeing bishops would contradict Catholic principles. Bishop Josef Overbeck of Essen expressed confidence. The Vatican has been informed about the planned body and he expects approval in the coming weeks. Asked about a possible rejection from Rome, Bishop Georg Bätzing of Limburg said he had no indication that approval was in doubt and ruled out proceeding without Vatican consent …More
Today, Pope Leo XIV appointed Monsignor Dominic Kimengich, 64, as Coadjutor Archbishop of Mombasa. He has the canonical right of succession to Archbishop Martin Kivuva Musonde, who will turn 74 on February 10. Monsignor Kimengich, born on April 23, 1961, was ordained a priest of Nakuru, Kenya, in 1986. He earned a licentiate and doctorate in canon law from the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross in Rome (Opus Dei). Over the course of his clerical career, he served as parish priest, seminary rector, and vicar general. He was appointed auxiliary bishop of Lodwar in 2010, became Bishop of Lodwar in 2011, and was transferred to Eldoret in 2019. Installed as a kind of shaman Kimengich has attracted attention for his public participation in a pagan ceremony during his tenure as Bishop of Eldoret. Photographs circulated 2020 show him being crowned/installed as a Talai elder. Talai elderhood has traditionally entailed religio-ritual functions, including mediation through rites believed to …More
“No person has appeared in opposition to the confirmation.” Untrue. The Rev’d Paul Williamson can be heard objecting. “Objections could be lawfully received and none having appeared as ordered.” Untrue. I have seen the paper trail. Woe to you, Pharisees!
“The answer to suffering is not death,” Cardinal Matteo Zuppi said this week. Italy’s bishops’ conference president delivered a sharp critique of a proposed euthanasia bill after it cleared a Senate committee. The bill, urged by the constitutional court in 2019, is backed by the ruling conservative coalition but opposed by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
Leo XIV invites Peruvian bishops to lunch. Peruvian bishops: "A gesture of closeness and communion..."!

Cardinal Blaise Cupich has again criticized the Traditional Mass, while in his own Archdiocese of Chicago he allows serious liturgical abuses and offenses against the Blessed Sacrament. In this video, Fr. Michael Pfleger of St. Sabina parish is shown during a Mass marked by repeated abuses. During the Sign of Peace, a layperson’s exuberant greeting causes a container holding many consecrated Hosts to be knocked over, and the incident is handled casually, as if they were ordinary crackers. The bishops who persecute the Traditional Mass in the name of “obedience” to the Pope often tolerate grave liturgical abuses in their dioceses without correction. It gives pause for thought.
That Pfleger character is a megalomaniac! The late Francis Cardinal George tried to remove him due to abuse, but this wayward priest's mostly black followers threatened to riot, so the Cardinal caved. Pfleger is untouchable - the "Chicago way"!
Cardinal Matteo Zuppi, as president of the Italian Bishops’ Conference (CEI), stepped too far into political territory with his recent remarks about the upcoming constitutional referendum on justice. According to the author, Zuppi did not simply encourage citizens to vote responsibly, but referred to specific and highly contested elements of the reform, such as the separation of careers between judges and prosecutors, the role of the High Council of the Judiciary, and the balance of powers. The article claims that these references closely mirror the arguments used by opponents of the reform and therefore amount to an implicit political position. It criticizes the subsequent CEI statement meant to downplay the controversy, calling it unconvincing and insufficient to neutralize the political impact of Zuppi’s words. The piece also expresses concern that such interventions risk dividing the Church internally and blurring the line between pastoral guidance and political advocacy, citing …More
