Dom Alcuin Reid on: "the Novus Ordo is the Mass of Vatican II". His conclusion: « The Mass and other liturgical rites that masquerade under the Council’s name are simply not that which the Second Vatican Council called for or authorised. They are products created afterwards according to a different set of principles. All of this begs the question of whether today, or in the future, it is or shall be possible to find what the Council Fathers actually desired. Without a full-scale reform of the reform it seems unlikely in the usus recentior – the modern use of the Roman rite. But that the full, conscious, actual and fruitful participation in the Ordo Missæ which has grown up in the course of the centuries, and the other liturgical rites, can be found in the usus antiquior – the older use of the Roman rite – as they are celebrated today, is unquestionable. It may well be that many of the Council Fathers present in St Peter’s Square sixty years ago today would more than understand those …More

More pornographic texts of pro-homosexual Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernández, 63, have emerged. ElWanderer.com published today new quotes from different books. The disgusting texts are more of the same soft-porn style as published by Tucho in Heal Me with Your Mouth: The Art of Kissing, 1995, and in The Mystical Passion: Spirituality and Sensuality, 1998. The latter is about male and female orgasms. The newly discovered books show that the first two were not a youthful mistake, but that this erotic mindset was constant. KISS: Your mouth sings / without using words. Aged 39, Tucho wrote in his 2002 book ¿Por qué no termino de sanarme? (“Why can’t I finish healing myself?”), on page 10: “A body can make an impact if it wears the right clothes, clothes that awaken sensuality by accentuating interesting shapes, depending on the body type. The sensuality of tanned shoulders and arms is accentuated by wearing a T-shirt. Elegance is highlighted by concealing fat with a black vest and white …More
Troubling to say the least. Shouldn't this fellow's carnal obsessiveness been a 'flag' to his superiors about his suitability for holy orders? (The question is both rhetorical and ironic.)
Cardinal José Cobo Is an Active Homosexual, a Spanish TV host claims publicly: On 20 November, Federico Jiménez Losantos, a well-known Spanish radio host and political commentator, said on his show: "If you see a bishop, examine him. Some of them have boyfriends who are involved in all kinds of trouble, yet they go around preaching the gospel. My goodness, I don't even want to think about it. I'm referring to Cobo, the bishop of Madrid." Jiménez Losantos didn't present factual information. He made this insinuation after spending several minutes explaining that the Catholic hierarchy is cowardly, treacherous, and aligned with the government.
En su programa de este 20 de noviembre, Federico Jiménez Losantos dejó caer una frase que, en cualquier época mínimamente sana de la Iglesia, habría desatado un escándalo de proporciones sísmicas: «Hay alguno que tiene al novio también metido en toda clase de líos… Me refiero a Cobo, el obispo de Madrid»
Pope Leo says Christians and Muslims can “be friends" and there’s “nothing to fear." Tell that to the Christians being erased and persecuted in places like Nigeria and Iraq

Environment Environment A 2000 study that concluded the well-known herbicide glyphosate was safe, widely cited since then, has just been officially disavowed by the journal that published it. The scientists are suspected of having signed a text actually prepared by Monsanto. Lire en français Subscribers only A quarter-century after its publication, one of the most influential research articles on the potential carcinogenicity of glyphosate has been retracted for "several critical issues that are considered to undermine the academic integrity of this article and its conclusions." In a retraction notice dated Friday, November 28, the journal Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology announced that the study, published in April 2000 and concluding the herbicide was safe, has been removed from its archives. The disavowal comes 25 years after publication and eight years after thousands of internal Monsanto documents were made public during US court proceedings (the "Monsanto Papers"), revealing …

President Donald Trump became the first U.S. President to issue a statement to Catholics on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception: Today, I recognize every American celebrating December 8 as a Holy Day honoring the faith, humility, and love of Mary, mother of Jesus and one of the greatest figures in the Bible. On the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, Catholics celebrate what they believe to be Mary’s freedom from original sin as the mother of God. She first entered recorded history as a young woman when, according to Holy Scripture, the Angel Gabriel greeted her in the village of Nazareth with news of a miracle: “Hail, favored one! The Lord is with you,” announcing that “you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus.” In one of the most profound and consequential acts of history, Mary heroically accepted God’s will with trust and humility: “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word.” Mary’s decision forever …
More theatrics. Trump is the king of useless gestures when it is regarding the American Catholic Conservative movement. And like their poster boy Raymond Arroyo they eat it up while Trump is slowly but surely surrounding us with his thugs.
The condemnation of abortion is an infallible doctrine of the Catholic Church equal in authority to all the Marian dogmas and the founding of the Catholic Church by Christ.
John 7:18 “He who speaks on his own authority seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the Glory of the One who sent him is true, and there is no unrighteousness in him.”
@chris griffin Do you NOT realize the astounding hypocrisy in that you refuse to believe these very words you quoted as follows: " or by its ordinary and universal Magisterium, which in fact is manifested by the common adherence of Christ’s faithful under the guidance of the sacred Magisterium." "These doctrines are contained in the word of God, written or handed down, and defined with a solemn judgement as divinely revealed truths either by the Roman Pontiff when he speaks 'ex cathedra,' or by the College of Bishops gathered in council, or infallibly proposed for belief by the ordinary and universal Magisterium." Read what the popes state which you need to understand about your own hypocrisy regarding the Ordinary Magisterium which you attempt to oblige on others and yet do not oblige on yourself - Mary, the Mother of ALMIGHTY GOD is The … Ordinary Magisterium: The teaching office of the hierarchy under the Pope, exercised normally, that is, through the regular means of instructing …More
When leaving Castel Gandolfo yesterday, Pope Leo XIV was asked by journalists why, unlike his predecessors, he had not prayed inside the Blue Mosque in Istanbul on 29 November. "Who said I didn't pray?" Leo XIV replied. “They said I didn’t, but I already explained on the plane – I mentioned a book – and perhaps I am praying even now.” The book in question was 'The Practice of the Presence of God' by Brother Lawrence. Leo XIV added that it is a matter of style and place of prayer, and that his favorite place to pray is a Catholic church in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament. He called it "curious" that this moment had attracted so much attention. When asked when he will move into the Apostolic Palace, Pope Leo XIV said: "There is no date yet. I am comfortable where I am, in the Holy Office." Regarding US President Donald Trump, Pope Leo XIV believes that he is trying to break the "alliance" between the United States and Europe. He said: "The recent remarks made in interviews about …More
