Cardinal Burke Sees "No State of Emergency": Ordaining bishops without a papal mandate will have to be punished, Cardinal Raymond Burke told PerMariam.com. He hopes Leo XIV will appoint cardinals to continue talks with the FSSPX, saying reconciliation remains possible. Cardinal Burke, a canon lawyer, rejected rumours that all FSSPX members could be declared excommunicated: "I don’t think that can be sustained". Furthermore, he dismissed the FSSPX's claim of a "state of emergency" to justify episcopal consecrations. While acknowledging serious difficulties in the Church, he insisted that Catholics must remain faithful within the Church: "No situation justifies doing something that is intrinsically evil."
VATICAN CITY (PerMariam) — Cardinal Raymond Burke has given his assessment of the recent Extraordinary Consistory along with the upcoming episcopal consecrations of the Society of Saint Pius X, noting some remaining concerns about the consistory format, while lamenting the planed consecrations. Speaking with Per Mariam following the recent consistory, Cdl. Burke offered a summary of the event which drew just under 180 cardinals to Rome for the second such meeting of Leo XIV’s pontificate. As many have similarly done, Burke welcomed the return of consistory’s to the Vatican’s regular life, since it offers a chance to “discuss important questions with regard to the Church.” But he also raised his concerns about the small table “synodal” group method which has largely replaced the traditional open discussion. As for synodality itself, on which the cardinals were briefed during Saturday’s meeting, the American prelate said that it “remains unresolved.” “There really needs to be a …

The State of Affairs at L'Osservatore Romano: During today's Angelus, Pope Leo XIV greeted homeless people present in St Peter's Square who were distributing L'Osservatore di strada, a supplement of L'Osservatore Romano. According to Silere non possum, Andrea Monda, editor-in-chief of L'Osservatore Romano, requested that a greeting to the distributors be included in the Pope's prepared text. Monda attended the Angelus in St Peter's Square. SilereNonPossum.com adds that Monda does not usually go to the office even on days when he is expected to be there, that public interest in L'Osservatore di strada is "non-existent," and that Monda is personally responsible for the costly project out of an "obsession."
Angelus: Pope Leo Reads, Andrea Monda Gets the … Among the greetings drafted by the Prefecture of the Papal Household for the Pope was one addressed to the homeless people present in St Peter’s Square to distribute L’Osservatore di strada, a supplement to L’Osservatore Romano. Naturally, the request came from Andrea Monda himself. A man who does not usually go to the office even on the days when he is expected to be there was hardly likely to spend a Sunday in St Peter’s Square beneath the scorching Roman sun of recent days. But having secured confirmation from the Prefecture that the short passage had been inserted into the text prepared for the Pope, Monda could not miss the occasion. He had to be there, he had to be seen, he had to make his presence visible at the very moment Leo XIV spoke about the costly paper. And so there he was in St Peter’s Square, beside a banner that had cost hundreds of euros, waving his arms about in his embarrassing braces to greet the Pope, who, puzzled …More

This article was published by the National Review online on June 26, 2026 Wesley Smith By Wesley J Smith The Anglican Church of Canada has authorized clergy to bless people being euthanized just before, during, and after being lethally jabbed (when permitted by the bishop). From “Pastoral Liturgies at the Time of Death in Contexts of Medically Assisted Dying”: It is not our intent to enter into the ethical arguments regarding MAiD, nor to provide a moral argument for or against MAiD. . . . No matter where people are in their life journey, we as a Christian community and Christian leaders in particular are called to respond pastorally to the needs and concerns of the people before us. Wherever the church serves, we are the Body of Christ reaching out to the suffering, the sick, and the dying. When someone reaches out for pastoral care, the church responds: there is a duty of pastoral care. If the Anglican Church can’t enter into an ethical argument about euthanasia what is the point …
I’m sure that a number of priests have quietly celebrated a funeral Mass for someone who has chosen euthanasia? If you know this to be true, care to comment?
And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Matthew 10:38 Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding feast is ready, but those invited were not worthy. Matthew 22:8 I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, Ephesians 4:1 Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. Matthew 10:37 So as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God. Colossians 1:10 Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ Philippians 1:27 And if the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it, but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.

The Roman rite is "not an attack on the unity of the Church," Cardinal François-Xavier Bustillo, 57, of Ajaccio, France, told Italian daily Il Giornale on June 29. "The Church also has the Eastern rites, and even in the West we have many rites: I am thinking of the Ambrosian Rite, the Mozarabic Rite, or the Spanish Rite," the Spanish-born cardinal added. In his view, the difficulty arises only when "the search for greater radicality turns into rigidity". However, Cardinal Bustillo opposes the reversion of Traditionis Custodes. It would be "dangerous," he said, "to send the message that Francis was wrong and that Leo XIV is here to solve the problem." He believes Leo XIV "will give a response that is fair and well-calibrated." On the episcopal consecrations by the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X, he spoke of "a painful rupture for the Church." He lamented that any new break would come little more than a year into a pontificate centered on the words [!] "peace" and "unity." Picture: …More
The Pope seeks discernment, but revelation ended with the death of St. John. The Holy Spirit assists us in living that revelation. It is the demonic spirits who provide new inspiration.
Sat Jun 27, 2026 - 2:34 pm EDT VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) — Pope Leo XIV opened his second extraordinary consistory of cardinals on Friday in which he insisted that the Lord is leading the Church via “synodality” so that she can “grow in communion,” according to a report by Vatican journalist Edward Pentin. The Pontiff encouraged the 178 cardinals to “engage wholeheartedly” in a synodal, working group structure, adding that he was “well aware that, for many of us, this is not the usual way of conducting a consistory,” Pentin said in his EWTN News report. “I count on you to help me discern what the Spirit is saying to the Church today. I need your support: strong, explicit, and public,” Leo said in his opening remarks on Friday. “I need to feel sustained by you as brothers.” “The pope’s comments came after some cardinals had expressed apprehensions about the consistory using a ‘synodal’ round-table format for a second time — a structure they felt was ‘very controlled’ when …
Run of Saint Andrew: Amalfi's Centuries-Old Tradition. The spectacular 'Run of Saint Andrew' in Amalfi, Italy, is part of a centuries-old celebration honoring Saint Andrew, the city's patron saint. According to local tradition, on 27 June 1544, as the fleet of the Ottoman corsair Khayr al-Din Barbarossa threatened Amalfi, the townspeople prayed for Saint Andrew's intercession. A violent storm scattered the enemy ships, and the city was spared. Each year on 27 June, bearers carry the silver reliquary bust of Saint Andrew at a run up the 62 steps of Amalfi Cathedral, commemorating this traditional account of the city's deliverance.
La spettacolare "Corsa di Sant'Andrea": cinque secoli di fede e tradizione: Secondo la tradizione, il 27 giugno 1544, mentre la flotta del celebre corsaro ottomano Khayr ad-Din Barbarossa minacciava Amalfi, gli abitanti implorarono l'intercessione di Sant'Andrea.
Yes, Skipping Sunday Mass (Without a Good Reason) Is a Grave Sin: Mass isn’t just a nice thing to do if you’re particularly religious or “super Catholic”; rather, it’s the cornerstone of any authentic Catholic life.
Of the roughly 53 million adults who identify as Catholic in the United States, only about three in ten say they attend Mass weekly or more often. This is obviously a big problem! It’s a problem for several reasons, not least of which that Mass is a source of necessary grace for our souls. But there’s another serious reason that many self-identified Catholics may not fully understand: If a Catholic knows that Mass attendance is required on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation, has Mass nearby he can attend, does not have a “grave cause” to miss Mass, but still skips Mass, he commits a grave sin. Yes, you aren’t just a bad Catholic, you’re committing a sin you will need to confess in Reconciliation for the sake of your soul. Mass isn’t just a nice thing to do if you’re particularly religious or “super Catholic”; rather, it’s the cornerstone of any authentic Catholic life. In fact, of the five precepts of the Church (what the Catechism calls the “necessary minimum” for being a …

Cardenal torturado bajo el comunismo, sube a la Colina de las Apariciones El cardenal Ernest Simoni, de 97 años, que fue torturado por el régimen comunista de Albania, subió el 23 de junio a la Colina de las Apariciones de Medjugorje, la víspera del 45.º aniversario del inicio de las presuntas apariciones. hmtv
Le cardinal Ernest Simoni, l’un des grands témoins de la persécution communiste contre l’Église en Europe, a gravi ce mardi la Colline des Apparitions de Medjugorje, la veille du 45ᵉ anniversaire du début des prétendues apparitions mariales. À 97 ans, et après avoir passé dix-huit ans en prison et aux travaux forcés sous la dictature communiste d’Albanie, le cardinal a voulu accomplir personnellement le pèlerinage au lieu où des milliers de fidèles prient chaque année le Rosaire. L’image du cardinal âgé parcourant le sentier escarpé de Podbrdo a été accueillie avec émotion par de nombreux pèlerins rassemblés à Medjugorje, qui célèbre ces jours-ci l’anniversaire d’événements commencés le 24 juin 1981 et qui ont fait de cette petite localité de Bosnie-Herzégovine l’une des principales destinations de pèlerinage marial au monde. Un témoin de la persécution communiste Ernest Simoni a survécu à l’une des persécutions religieuses les plus dures du XXᵉ siècle. Ordonné …More
The Delivery of the Keys to Saint Peter (1481–1482), Pietro Vannucci, called Perugino (1448–1523). We can all see in our head the images of the cardinals’ entrance into the conclave on May 7, 2025, a little more than a year ago, to elect the new pope. In this way they perpetuated a centuries-old tradition: since the 1400s, this assembly has been held in the Sistine Chapel. One of the frescoes that watched over the election is particularly significant, since it depicts the appointment of Peter as the head of the nascent Church. Michelangelo outshone Pope Sixtus IV (1471–1484), who had commissioned the construction of the papal chapel that bears his name, as well as the other painters who decorated it. Perugino, Botticelli, and Ghirlandaio, among others, nevertheless labored on the middle tier. Producing parallel scenes from the lives of Moses and Jesus, they manifested the continuity of salvation, which was offered first to the chosen people, then to the whole world. For example, opposite …More
Canon Lawyer, Professor Michael J. Mazza: “Over 80% of the nation’s priests regularly fear being falsely accused, largely because of the lack of due process they encounter the instant an allegation is made against them. Nearly the same percentage of surveyed priests suggested that their bishop would be one of the LAST people they would ever go to for help if they encountered a problem in their ministry. That is a particularly worrisome attitude given the close bond that is supposed to link bishops and priests in the service of the people of God.”
29.06.2026 THE LIONEL ANDRADES INTERPRETATION OF VATICAN COUNCIL II IS DOGMATIC, MAGISTERIAL, APOSTOLIC, RATIONAL AND ETHICAL: POPE LEO MUST ADAPT The SSPX Profession of Faith can be read with the Lionel Andrades (L.A) interpretation. VC2 is traditional and ecclesiocnetric. The blue orthodox passages dominate. The red ones are not exceptions for the blue passages. The text of Vatican Council II read rationally supports the traditionalists but when read irrationally supports Pope Leo and the liberals. High Noon after July 1, 2026. Canon and secular petitions will target irrational and dishonest interpretations of Vatican Council II by cardinals and bishops. Reason and tradition support the conservative Catholics. When Vatican Council II is traditional and aligned with the conservatives how can the SSPX be excommunicated in the name of the Council? When Vatican Council II is traditional with ‘the blue passages’ not contradicted by ‘the red passages’ how can Pope Leo remain liberal and …More
