Bishop Schneider defies Traditionis Custodes: During his current stay in Brazil, Bishop Athanasius Schneider celebrated Mass in the Roman Rite at the Cathedral of Nossa Senhora das Dores in Caruaru, Pernambuco. Bishop José Ruy Gonçalves Lopes, 58, of Caruaru was present at the Mass. According to Traditionis Custodes (2021) a diocesan bishop cannot authorize the public celebration of the 1962 Missal in his cathedral without the Holy See, which is practically always denied.

I would be happy to applaud Bishop Schneider if I believed his celebration of the TLM in defiance of the Modernists’ TC was a step in the direction of rejecting the Novus Ordo Mass and the false teaching of Vatican II, but doubt very much that it is.

"There are three forms of the virtue of charity: the first is that of spouses, the second that of widows, and the third that of virgins. We do not praise any one of them to the exclusion of others...This is what makes for the richness of the discipline of the Church." St. Ambrose, De vidius "What is more pleasing than a psalm? David expresses it well: "Praise the Lord, for a psalm is good: let there be praise of our God with gladness and grace!"." St. Ambrose, Enarrationes in Psalmos "This Creed is the spiritual seal, our heart's meditation and an ever-present guardian; it is, unquestionably, the treasure of our soul." St. Ambrose, Explanatio symboli "For life is to be with Christ; where Christ is, there is life, there is the kingdom."

“There’s no budget for it anymore,” he said. “They’re closing parishes throughout the Northeast.” Haberski, who described Franciscan Media’s origins as “kind of pro-labor and pro-family,” with material that sought to reach the working class, said, “It’s a shame we are losing that legacy — but it still exists for people to read and to look at.”

7. December 2025 7. December 2025 12/07/2025 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. British TV personality Piers Morgan has sincerely apologized to Novak Djokovic. Because Djokovic refused to be vaccinated against Covid, Morgan called the tennis star a “liar” and a “cheater.” Three years later, he apologizes. At a time when tennis players and other athletes were buying vaccination certificates, the greatest active tennis player remained openly unvaccinated. Novak Djokovic faced media scrutiny and suspension from competition, but maintained his perfectly logical stance: he didn’t need a Covid vaccination. Quote from Friday’s article on tkp.at: Apology of the Year.Source. Novak Djokovic is not only the best tennis player in the world, he is also a man who did not give in to the pressure and preferred to forgo the championship rather than have an experimental gene-editing agent injected into him. Novak Djokovic is from Serbia. As a twelve-year-old, he experienced the full harshness of Western …

Everything of Friday’s announcement indicates that this is deal is the complete capitulation of the Holy See to the Chinese Communist Party: The Vatican announced the resignation of Bishop Joseph Zhang Weizhu at age 67 as a bihop selected by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) was consecrated as his successor. Although the Vatican now refers to Zhang as Bishop Emeritus and the CCP acknowledges this title, he remains under strict house arrest, isolated from his family and unable to attend the consecration ceremony. All of this, the Vatican says, occurred within the framework of its secret Provisional Agreement with China.
The Vatican announced the episcopal consecration of Monsignor Francesco Li Jianlin as the new bishop of the Prefecture of Xinxiang in Henan, China, on December 5. The liturgy was held at the church of Weihui and celebrated by Bishop Li Shan of Beijing. He heads the state-controlled Chinese Patriotic Catholic Association. Li Jianlin is the second bishop elected during the papal interregnum following the death of Pope Francis. The appointment was formally approved by Pope Leo XIV on August 11. It comes with the acceptance of the “resignation” of the underground bishop Giuseppe Zhang Weizhu of Xinxiang. Loyal Catholic Bishop Erased from Memory The official Chinese report made no mention of papal approval and omitted any reference to Bishop Zhang Weizhu. Appointed in 1991, he was never recognized by Beijing. For decades he faced arrests, restrictions, and suppression because he refused to join the Patriotic Association. One notable episode occurred in 2021, when police dismantled a clandestine …More
