Bishop Fredrik Hansen of Oslo, Norway, issued a July 3 statement following the episcopal consecrations by the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX). He said the two consecrating bishops and the four newly consecrated bishops had removed themselves from ecclesial communion and unity with the Pope: “This is sad, painful, and calls us to prayer and penance.” He urged Catholics to pray the Rosary for the unity of the Church on the Feast of Saint Sunniva, July 8. Monsignor Hansen repeated Cardinal Tucho Fernández’s explanation that the consecrations were a schismatic act and that the priests “can no longer validly grant absolution in the sacrament of confession.” He also urged Catholics to refrain from attending FSSPX Masses and other activities. Addressing FSSPX faithful directly, he wrote: “I understand that these are difficult and distressing days for you. You may find yourselves pulled in different directions, and perhaps stand bewildered before all that has now come to pass.” He …More
Priest from excommunicated sect says future pope will reverse Vatican move This whole excommunication things is appearing more and more to be one huge joke, I know no one taking this matter seriously. Where is Pope St Pius X when you need him?
Did the 12 Apostles have to put up with this Vatican bureaucracy tit a tat? No. Why? Because Christ our Savior was their be all and end all. I doubt there are 4 priests today who could believe and declare Jesus Christ as their be all and end. They are too fretted with their standing and how they appear to others instead of Christ. It is sickening.

Protocol numbers are how Vatican departments organize their filing; a letter or submission is assigned a protocol number so that all the relevant documents are kept together in the right file. “Prot. No. 99/2009” is not a new file from 2026, but a file from 2009, specifically from Pope Benedict XVI’s lifting of the excommunications incurred in 1988.
[EN/DE] | "There are moments in history that cannot be measured by numbers alone. Cameras capture the crowds, broadcasters show endless streams of mourners, and social media fills with images from every angle, yet none of them can truly convey what is taking place within the hearts of the people. Millions may gather, but every tear carries its own story. People travel from different cities and countries, crossing borders and leaving behind comfort simply to offer a final farewell. They do not come because they are compelled. They come because they believe that some lives leave a mark too profound to let pass in silence. What makes a man unite millions is not power alone. Power can command obedience, but it cannot command love. Fear can fill a square for a day, but it cannot fill hearts for decades. Wealth can buy influence, but it cannot purchase loyalty that survives death. For millions, Sayyid Ali Khamenei represented something greater than political authority. He embodied the union …More
On Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano's X account I posted these links from Gloria TV in the AI section. These are the comments from AI ( Grok). Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò shared a photo of Italian street graffiti reading "siamo tutti lefebvrani" ("we are all Lefebvrists"), referencing the traditionalist movement of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre. Viganò, the former Apostolic Nuncio to the US who has been excommunicated and publicly criticized Vatican leadership including under Pope Leo XIV, frequently highlights resistance to post-Vatican II reforms. The post ignited discussion in traditionalist circles, with supporters viewing it as solidarity against perceived Church corruption and critics warning it risks creating a sectarian focus on Lefebvre rather than core Catholic doctrine.Investigate SSPX current status ARCHBISHOP VIGANO MUST APPEAL AGAINST ERRORS IN HIS SCHISM- TRIAL : VATICAN COUNCIL II RATIONAL IS NO MORE AN ISSUE FOR THE TRADITIONALISTS.

"Bank secrecy no longer exists at the Vatican": SilereNonPossum.com writes that banking confidentiality at the Vatican's Institute for Works of Religion (IOR) has effectively been undermined. Confidential account information can be shared with Roman Curia dicasteries and the pope without a court order or a request from the Vatican's financial watchdog, ASIF. Pope Francis told Cardinal Angelo Comastri (Archpriest of St. Peter's Basilica from 2006-2021) the exact amount held in his IOR account, implying access to banking information.
Remix News & Views @RMXnews German feminist Verena Brunschweiger promotes the slogan “My lineage ends with me.” She calls for people, especially White people, to stop having children. She claims that Western pro-natalists only want to “control women, and keep refugees out." Brunschweiger said that Europeans are to blame for the poor quality of life in Africa, and she would invite the entire world to Europe. "So I would take all immigrants and refugees in because we ruined the world, so to speak." "We produce the climate change which makes the life in Africa, for instance, miserable and horrible. So of course, why not invite [them] if they want to come?”
It almost beggars belief one would have add that proviso but clearly the person who made the Commemorative Address, (I believe it was the Hon. Chauncey M. Depew) was prescient in needing to do so.
Bishop Czesław Kozon of Copenhagen, Denmark celebrates Mass according to the Roman Rite whenever he is asked to do so, he told de.CatholicNewsAgency.com on 4 July. He favours a pastoral approach: "People who want this should have the opportunity to do so." At the same time, he believes that 'Traditionis Custodes' "does not harm the Church": "One must recognise that the post-conciliar liturgy is the Church's liturgy, and that it can also be celebrated beautifully. That is the ideal we should strive for." He described the episcopal consecrations performed by the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) as "tragic and completely pointless". Monsignor Kozon continued: "It also shows that this is about more than just the old Mass. Those who once praised the Church’s Magisterium, emphasised obedience and promoted unity are now acting in a way that is clearly disobedient and harms unity. That is why it is truly sad, and there is no excuse for it." #newsXjweykrbek
