Thousands of Canadians took part in the 36th annual Life Chain on October 4. Coordinated nationally by Campaign Life Coalition, the event brought participants to intersections and busy streets across Canada for an hour of quiet prayer and peaceful pro-life witness. Participants held signs including “Abortion Kills Children,” “Abortion Hurts Women,” and “Jesus Forgives and Heals.” Life Chain began in Canada in 1991.
A Hungarian priest has apologised after criticising Prime Minister Péter Magyar’s Tisza party and its supporters. Rev. Zoltán Osztie made the remarks during a Eucharist in Feldebrő on 26 September. He described Tisza as an “unbelieving, immoral and traitorous” political force. He added that Christians who vote for the party “understand nothing” of the Gospel. The Archdiocese of Esztergom-Budapest criticised the priest’s comments. It claimed insulting or labelling people because of their political views is not in line with Christian teaching. Church authorities formally warned Rev. Osztie and asked him to remove the video of the sermon from parish websites and social media. He was also told to avoid similar statements in the future. On 6 October, Rev. Osztie apologised to those who felt personally offended by his words. However, he did not withdraw his criticism of Tisza. He said he had intended to criticise a political worldview rather than individual people and maintained that, in his …More
German Bishops’ Conference president Bishop Heiner Wilmer says he will bring the “experiences” of homosexual couples to Rome for the Vatican’s Amoris Laetitia summit. Wilmer told katholisch.de that he prepared for the meeting, which begins tomorrow, by speaking with homosexuals and adulterers in a "second union". Pope Leo XIV has stacked the meeting’s additional invitees with several pro-homosexual cardinals, including Jean-Claude Hollerich, Blase Cupich, Robert McElroy, Joseph Tobin, Víctor Manuel Fernández, José Cobo Cano and Luis Antonio Tagle. Notably absent from Leo XIV’s 22 additional invitees are prominent critics of developments surrounding Amoris Laetitia, including Dubia Cardinal Raymond Burke and former Curia prefect Cardinal Gerhard Müller.

Now, let me get this clear, the Lord and Master, who these folks 'claim to serve', met with tax collectors, adulterers, and the like and he transformed them; he didn't meet them on the 'synodal path' and equivocate His teachings to meet 'their needs'. But these guys are showing the Master how He erred in His approach?!!!! Follow 'The Way', not the detours.
“Not to oppose error is to approve it; and not to defend truth is to suppress it, and, indeed, to neglect to confound evil men—when we can do it—is no less a sin than to encourage them.” Pope Saint Felix III
Who asked Pasquale Striano to seek information on some of the key figures in the future Becciu trial when that Vatican investigation, at least officially, did not yet exist? This is the question that resurfaces during the preliminary hearing on the so-called dossier case and opens a new chapter in the still unclear relationship between the former financier’s activities and the proceedings over the London property, which led, among others, to the first-degree conviction of Cardinal Angelo Becciu... ...The records show a series of database accesses by Striano in 2019 concerning people who would only later become involved in the Vatican investigation. Among them, in addition to Tirabassi, Mincione, Torzi, and Crasso, is also Cecilia Marogna. According to the defense, these checks date back to a period prior to the IOR’s complaint that formally initiated the investigation, which would later lead to searches in the Secretariat of State’s offices and, two years later, to the trial. This time …More
"Catholics today fall in two groups. There are those who think the Church is experiencing an unprecedented springtime and those who have actually looked at the statistics."
Dutch Auxiliary Bishop Rob Mutsaerts of ’s-Hertogenbosch: “I do not have to spend very much time convincing this audience that there is a crisis. And indeed, if I were beginning by saying, ‘My dear friends, everything is going splendidly,’ I suspect that you would immediately check whether I have been replaced by an employee of the communications department of the Vatican. And perhaps this is already the first difficulty. Catholics today fall in two groups. There are those who think the Church is experiencing an unprecedented springtime and those who have actually looked at the statistics.”
Cardinal' Gambetti leaves behind ‘eco-friendly’ St. Peter’s that has lost its sacredness During Gambetti’s tenure, the statutes governing the Chapter of St Peter’s were substantially revised. The article says this reduced the number and role of canons, imposed five-year terms and retirement at 80, capped salary/pension at €1,800, and put the Chapter under the authority of the Fabbrica di San Pietro. It reports significant liturgical/operational changes at St Peter’s: fewer Masses, abolition of private Masses in side chapels, removal of the canons’ choir stalls from the presbytery, and changes concerning Latin liturgy. A rooftop bistro at St Peter’s has apparently been completed but, according to this article, had not yet opened as of October 2026. St Peter’s has undertaken energy-efficiency and climate-neutrality measures, apparently connected with a goal of reaching climate neutrality by 2030.
Musealización irrespetuosa y.caótica Devolverle el carácter sagrado a San Pedro, una basílica que, bajo la administración de Gambetti, aspiraba a ser climáticamente neutra y altamente eficiente en energía, pero que ha sucumbido a una musealización e irrespetuosa.caótica Entre la profanación por parte de los turistas y las distracciones de los fieles. El reemplazo del cardenal Mauro Gambetti como arcipreste de la Basílica de San Pedro solo tendrá sentido si su sucesor no continúa por el mismo camino que él siguió durante sus cinco años de mandato. Cinco años bastaron para romper ese equilibrio, que hoy evidencia claramente su fracaso en la percepción de la Iglesia del Papa. Tan solo cinco años, especialmente si todo se remonta a la reforma de los estatutos del Capítulo de San Pedro, que contribuyó a la degradación de esta valiosa institución, indispensable para garantizar el decoro y la dignidad de la basílica más importante de la Iglesia. Por este motivo, si el nombre que tiene en mente …More
Bishop James Beckman of Knoxville, Tennessee, has revoked the faculties of Fr David Mary Engo who has associated himself with the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X (FSSPX), “He is not authorized to exercise public priestly ministry anywhere within the Diocese of Knoxville.” David Mary Engo was ordained a priest in 1997 by then-Bishop Seán P. O’Malley of Fall River, the future Cardinal of Boston. His religious and community status has a somewhat complicated history. He was incardinated into the Diocese of Fort Wayne–South Bend in 2010, while simultaneously being excardinated from the Diocese of Fall River, Massachusetts. Engo founded a Franciscan community in 2009, professed perpetual vows, and served as the community’s Minister General. In May 2017, he resigned as Minister General and withdrew to a hermitage. By 2021, Engo was described by the Diocese of Knoxville’s newspaper as a Franciscan hermit living in the Diocese of Helena, Montana. Engo subsequently ministered in the Diocese of …More
Pervert Jesuit finally laicised after decades of abuse. The Society of Jesus has expelled Spanish priest Francesc Peris, 84, from both the clerical state and the Jesuit order. A canonical penal process found him guilty of sexually abusing minors over several decades. However, Peris is cared for in a Jesuit residence. The punishment was announced on October 5. It comes more than two years after Peris himself admitted abusing minors. On May 7, 2024, the Jesuits publicly disclosed that Peris had “recently” acknowledged sexually abusing minors as far back as 1972. Yet when questioned by secular authorities in a Barcelona criminal investigation in October 2024, he denied the particular allegation being investigated. Peris was never convicted by a Spanish criminal court. Proceedings against him were ultimately closed because the alleged offences were considered time-barred. Spanish media have identified more than 20 victims, both boys and girls, with allegations spanning more than three decades. …More
Cardinal Müller: "Every human life – regardless of age, or whether someone is sick or healthy – has an unconditional value."
Ein Teil von Österreichs Regierung will das Beten vor Abtreibungskliniken unter Strafe stellen. Jetzt ruft Gerhard Ludwig Kardinal Müller alle Lebensschützer auf, am Samstag beim Wiener Marsch fürs Leben die Stimme gegen dieses Unrecht zu erheben. Corrigenda liegt seine Botschaft exklusiv vor.
Speaking at the Catholic Identity Conference in Pittsburgh on 3 October, Pentin said Leo “largely continues the post-conciliar revolution”, portraying the pontificate as one of continuity with Francis despite a noticeably different tone. “Pope Leo… is very much a continuity figure, continuing the post-conciliar course mapped out by Pope Francis,” Pentin said. Pentin acknowledged that Leo’s manner represented an improvement, but argued that the changes made so far were “largely symbolic and small scale”. Pentin also said he had “often heard in recent months in Rome” that people close to Leo “helped him get elected precisely so he might continue the revolution”.
Edward Pentin on Leo XIV at the CIC conference: Leo XIV continues Francis's work with a better style.
