Feast of the Most Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ - July 1 Memorial 1 July formerly 1st Sunday in July Friday after the fourth Sunday of Lent on some calendars Article Celebrates the Blood of Our Saviour, shed for the redemption of mankind, mentioned repeatedly in the New Testament. Since the Council of Trenttheologians generally hold that it was an essential part of the Sacred Humanity and consequently hypostatically united to the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity and therefore an object of adoration. Although special honour was bestowed upon it by the Apostles and Fathers and many saints, yet a feast in its honour was not celebrated till the beginning of the 19th century, when SaintGaspare del Bufalo obtained permission to have it celebrated in the Missionary Society of the Precious Blood. PopeBlessedPius IX extended the feast to the entire Church in 1849. There has been an arch-confraternity of the Precious Blood since 1815.
July 1 - The Most Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ cybrotius Festum pretiosissimi Sanguinis Domini nostri Jesu Christi. From the 1945 Roman Missal.
Third possibility: How could the cardinals of the 1958 conclave accept without protest the resignation of Pius XII's successor half an hour after he had accepted the office? We can conjecture that the manoeuvres of a few traitors consisted of: 1- persuading the new Pope to resign for the good of the Church or for some other cause; 2- ensuring that the new Pope in turn persuaded the cardinals that it was legitimate for him to resign for the same reasons; 3- ensuring that no coercion was apparent so that everyone would believe that this resignation was made freely.

Yesterday, Leo XIV wrote to the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X. He acknowledged the FSSPX's devotion to Tradition, the liturgy, and priestly formation. He begs them to "turn back" from a prospective "schismatic act", warning of its grave consequences while reaffirming the Church's openness to dialogue and reconciliation. The letter. To the Reverend Father Davide Pagliarani Superior General of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X With a paternal heart, and aware of the responsibility entrusted to me by the Lord as the Successor of the Apostle Peter, I address you and, through you, the bishops, priests, seminarians and faithful connected to the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X. The Church recognizes the devotion to liturgical life, commitment to priestly formation, apostolic zeal and desire for fidelity to Tradition that characterize many people and communities connected to your Fraternity. This has motivated the attentive and generous attitude that my Predecessors have consistently …More
Tue Jun 30, 2026 - 8:05 am EDTTue Jun 30, 2026 - 1:03 pm EDT (LifeSiteNews) — Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò has responded vigorously to Pope Leo’s open letter to the superior general of the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX). In an X post published in Italian this morning, Viganò took issue with the Pontiff’s letter, recalling the “seamless garment” theology of other American prelates. He may have also invoked a principle of canon law regarding emergency provisions: “Omnia parata sunt ad nuptias,” that is, “everything is prepared for the wedding.” “In the imminence of the episcopal Consecrations of Écône, when ‘omnia parata sunt ad nuptias,’ comes the pathetic communication with which Leo reminds the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X that ‘to tear the seamless tunic of Christ is a sin of extreme gravity’ (one wonders if it is the same seamless tunic [Ed: garment] of Bernardin and Cupich – passed to the same Prevost – to downgrade and legitimize the abominable crime of abortion…)…
No thanks. The last time Archbishop Vigano ordained a priest he ordained that defrocked pedophile Kerry Moran that began doing the rounds on the Resistance circuit in England and Ireland.
"Whoever, then, has the grace of greater understanding should beware of the danger of a harsher judgment if he or she is negligent. Whoever lacks understanding and intellectual brilliance should take advantage of the little he has and do what he can - for he has been saved from many occasions of sin. In youth even Peter the Apostle was forgetful, and John unlearned. Yet they grasped true wisdom in old age, for they sought the source of wisdom. Solomon was quick to learn when young, and Aristotle had a subtle mind. However, they did not grasp the origin of wisdom, for they neither glorified the giver of wisdom, as they should have, nor put into practice what they knew and taught, nor studied in order to improve themselves but to improve others."
[Saint Bridget of Sweden – XIV Century AD; born: Uppland, Sweden/doed: Rome, Papal States; Patron Saint of Europe, Widow, Mystic, Spiritual Writer] Fourth question. ”Why is intelligence and an extremely quick mind given to some people, while others are like mindless asses?” Answer to the fourth question. ”As to why some people are more intelligent, I answer: With regard to eternal salvation, abundant wisdom does not benefit the soul, unless she also shines with goodness of life. It is in fact more useful to have less knowledge but a better way of life. Accordingly, reason is measured out to all persons in such a way that they can gain heaven, if they lead godly lives. Yet the reasoning faculty differs in many people according to their natural and spiritual dispositions. Just as one person succeeds through virtue and Godsent zeal in perfecting the virtues, another can likewise fall into vanities through bad will and nature's bad disposition as well as an immoral upbringing. One's nature …More

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 …
Saint Otto of Bamberg | The Apostle of Pomerania | Feast Day June 30th Today we remember Otto of Bamberg, whose feast day is celebrated on June 30. Born around 1060 in **Germany, Otto became Bishop of Bamberg in 1102. Although he was known as a capable bishop and trusted adviser to both the Church and civil leaders, Otto is most remembered for his missionary work. At the request of the Church, he travelled to Pomerania, where many people had not yet embraced Christianity. Rather than forcing conversions, Otto patiently shared the Gospel through: Charity and kindness Faithful preaching Respect for local communities Building churches and strengthening Christian life His gentle approach led thousands of people to embrace the Christian faith. Because of his extraordinary missionary success, he became known as the "Apostle of Pomerania." He also served as a papal legate, representing the Holy See in important missions, and remained Bishop of Bamberg until his death in 1139…More

July is traditionally the month of devotion to the Most Precious Blood of Jesus. In this article, you can read a short history of the devotion, read the prayer in Latin and watch a pronunciation video. History Prayer in Latin Latin pronunciation video Prayer in English The month of the Precious Blood of Jesus beautifully flows forth from the month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. As the side of Christ was pierced with a lance, out gushed blood and water, from which (as the early Fathers say) came the birth of the Church and the Holy Sacraments. Indeed, it is also by the shedding of the Spotless Lamb’s Blood that our sins are forgiven and our redemption purchased. Every single drop of the Precious Blood contains in It the entirety of the Life and Love of God; His very Self is fully contained in a single droplet from the Precious Chalice. (SOURCE) History of the devotion The devotion to the Precious Blood began in Spain, then spread to Italy and was celebrated as a feast day from the time …
The wicked apostate and gay activist Robert Prevost wants to "excommunicate" Catholics. His delusions of grandeur have reached a level of madness that blinds him to the fact that a heretic has no authority to excommunicate anyone.

Canada Day is a statutory holiday to mark the anniversary of the Canadian Confederation which occurred on July 1, 1867. So on July 1 it's Canada's birthday. For the occasion, Toronto's Cardinal Frank Leo has released a good message. He rightly reflects on the meaning of being human, of freedom and truth. What kind of nation are we building? What are we celebrating? Here's what he says: My Dear Brothers and Sisters, May Jesus and Mary be in your hearts. In the coming days we will celebrate Canada Day, a time when we rightly commemorate what Canada is: a land of peace, opportunity, and security. Gratitude matters, and it is important to recognize our blessings and give thanks. Yet this year, I would invite the faithful of the Archdiocese of Toronto to consider a deeper, more searching question undergirding our celebrations: “Who are we becoming?” not only as individuals, but as a nation. Many of the tensions we experience today—our debates, divisions, polarization and uncertainties—…
