They think you are a cry baby who whines too much. Someone who can never prove a thing. Someone who is hateful and prejudice and can't stop lying who is full of pride. To attack a good Catholic like In Principio is a sick thing to do all because of your agenda and hatred. You never can stop. No talking or reasoning has helped you.
POPE LEO ELEVATES SIX SERVANTS OF GOD | SG News Pope Leo XIV has advanced the sainthood causes of six Servants of God, recognizing that they lived the Christian virtues to a heroic degree. During an audience with Cardinal Marcello Semeraro, prefect of the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints, on October 24, the Pope authorized the promulgation of six decrees of heroic virtue. The six may now be known as Venerable Servants of God. Among them are two remarkable missionary bishops. Venerable Friedrich Kaiser Depel, born in Germany, was sent as a missionary to Peru in 1939. He later became the first Territorial Prelate of Caravelí and worked to spread Sacred Scripture, strengthen isolated Catholic communities and respond to the shortage of priests. He also founded the Missionary Sisters of Jesus, Word and Victim, a congregation dedicated especially to serving communities where priests were scarce. The second missionary bishop is Venerable Oreste Marengo, an Italian Salesian who travelled to …More

Er gründete außerdem die Missionsschwestern Jesu, des Wortes und des Opfers, eine Kongregation, die sich insbesondere der …More
FROM SWISS GUARD TO DEACON: A CALL TO SERVE CHRIST | SG News For eight years, Didier Grandjean stood guard at the Vatican, serving two Popes and protecting the heart of the Catholic Church. Now, the former Pontifical Swiss Guard has taken another kind of oath — one that brings him a major step closer to the Catholic priesthood. Didier Grandjean was ordained a deacon on October 24, 2026, at the Church of Notre-Dame de l’Assomption in Albeuve, Switzerland. Bishop Charles Morerod of Lausanne, Geneva and Fribourg presided over the celebration in Grandjean’s native Gruyère region. But his road to the altar began long before seminary. Before joining the Swiss Guard, Grandjean trained as a landscaper. At 21, he entered the Pontifical Swiss Guard in 2011. He would spend eight years serving at the Vatican — first under Pope Benedict XVI and then under Pope Francis. During his years of service, Grandjean rose to the rank of vice-corporal and worked in communications for the Guard. But something …More
VON DER SCHWEIZERGARDE ZUM DIAKON: EIN RUF ZUM DIENST AN CHRISTUS | SG News Acht Jahre lang versah Didier Grandjean Wache im Vatikan, diente zwei Päpsten und schützte das Herz der katholischen Kirche. Nun hat der ehemalige Schweizergardist einen anderen Eid abgelegt – einen, der ihn dem katholischen Priestertum einen großen Schritt näher bringt. Didier Grandjean wurde am 24. Oktober 2026 in der Kirche Notre-Dame de l’Assomption in Albeuve, Schweiz, zum Diakon geweiht. Bischof Charles Morerod von Lausanne, Genf und Freiburg leitete die Feier in Grandjeans Heimatregion Gruyère. Doch sein Weg zum Altar begann lange vor dem Priesterseminar. Bevor er der Schweizergarde beitrat, absolvierte Grandjean eine Ausbildung zum Landschaftsgärtner. Mit 21 Jahren trat er 2011 in die Schweizergarde ein. Acht Jahre lang diente er im Vatikan – zunächst unter Papst Benedikt XVI. und dann unter Papst Franziskus. Während seiner Dienstzeit stieg Grandjean zum Vizekorporal auf und arbeitete in der Kommunikati…More
From the text: drawing on the numerous documents and resources prepared by the Dicastery for Evangelization, it is now more urgent than ever to examine wisely and with discernment the current ways of organizing catechesis, so that the transmission of the faith is not confined to language that can be labeled as ‘scholastic,’ ‘dogmatic,’ or ‘moralistic.’
‘Legends of the Blessed Virgin’ by J. Collin de Plancy; 1852; Chapter 6 – ‘Our Lady's Knight.’; ~ ‘Mater purissima...’; part II; pages 34-35 [Collin de Plancy – XVIII-XIX Century AD; Demonologist – Converted to the Catholic Faith] Our Lady's Knight. ~ Saint Ignatius of Loyola If the disorders, of what is called youthful folly, are made light of by worldly consciences, how differently does the soul, which enters seriously into herself, and examines her state by the help of God's light, regard them. Faults which men scarcely perceive, because they offend not their sense of propriety, are presented to the soul in their true light. Judged by the code of the saints, they are crimes, for they have outraged the majesty of God. They required expiation. Happy was he in having been born a member of that holy Church in which penance restores and raises the soul to God's affection. Repentance urged austerities ; he willingly embraced them, feeling so inflamed with the love of God, as ready to under …More
"...and set out alone for Montserrat. Upon this steep mountain, whence such charming views of Catalonia are presented to the traveller's sight, there had long been venerated a celebrated image of the Blessed Virgin. Wondrous legends were attached to this famous pilgrimage. We fear to record them here, lest they should shock the sickly faith of this age. According to the historians of the image of our Lady of Montserrat, it was brought into Spain in the first age of the Christian era, if not by the apostle St. James, at least by some of his disciples. It was in great honour during the Roman domination at Barcelona. When the Moors invaded the country, it was concealed in a cavern at Montserrat, where it was discovered in the ninth century."
I'm sorry but I don't' want to hear the whining from Dr. Kwasniewski, Matt and the other " wait before we judge Leo" appeasers. Start acting like men! Defend and support the SSPX, denounce the infiltrators or keep straddling the fence.

Fr. Josh Johnson on Equipping Parents to Teach Scripture with the Bible in a Year: Family Edition "Parents are the primary educators of their children, but so many feel unequipped to walk through Scripture together." Father Josh Johnson joins CatholicTV to introduce Ascension’s Bible in a Year: Family Edition. Following the supernatural impact of Fr. Mike Schmitz’s landmark Bible in a Year, how can families experience the transformative power of Sacred Scripture together? Father Josh Johnson (Ask Father Josh, Director of Vocations and House of Formation) joins Bishop Robert Reed on This Is the Day to reveal the story and vision behind the Bible in a Year: Family Edition. Fr. Josh opens up about his personal discernment—from his initial reluctance due to parish and seminary responsibilities to spending three hours in tears before the Blessed Sacrament and receiving an unexpected confirming phone call from across the country. He explains how this new initiative marks Ascension’s first …More
Quello che i modernisti non tollerano è la visibilità della messa cattolica. QUAS PRIMAS, L’enciclica con cui Pio XI istituisce la festa della regalità di Nostro Signore (l’ultima domenica di ottobre), insiste sul fatto che nulla più del culto pubblico e solenne, la Messa appunto, sia il mezzo più adatto a riaffermare i diritti sovrani, anche sociali, che Cristo esercita per diritto di natura (divina) e per conquista (la redenzione operata dalla passione e morte in croce). Papa Ratti afferma, ancora, che il primo luogo dell’esercizio di questa regalità risieda nell’intelletto degli uomini (aristotelicamente, la facoltà dell’anima che distingue l’uomo da qualsiasi altra creatura), per poi scendere nella volontà, nel cuore e dunque dare forma ad ogni aspetto della società: la famiglia, la scuola, il tribunale, la sanità, lo Stato intero. Ecco perché, per un cattolico, è necessario anche lo studio, l’approfondimento: il culto del Dio uno e Trino, per citare San Paolo ai romani, è un culto …More
Una Voce clarifies why traditional Latin Mass pilgrims were denied access to St. Peter’s Basilica. The International Federation Una Voce (FIUV) has issued today a statement correcting misunderstandings surrounding this year’s Summorum Pontificum Pilgrimage to Rome. According to FIUV, the Vatican Secretariat of State rejected the organizers’ request to celebrate the traditional Latin Mass in St. Peter’s Basilica in August. The organizers then sought permission for a collective devotion inside the Basilica, as had been permitted in 2023 and 2024 despite the refusal of Mass. That request was also rejected in a letter dated September 30, which reached the organizers only in October. Thus, pilgrims were denied not only Mass in St. Peter’s, but also permission for organized communal prayer inside the Basilica. Meanwhile, permission was granted for a Pontifical Low Mass at the Basilica of St. Mary Major. Una Voce thanked the Cardinal Archpriest, sacristans, security personnel, and Dominican …More
Full statement “Many members and supporters take part in the pilgrimage and we as an organisation are a member of the Caetus Internationalis Summorum Pontificum; we regard the annual pilgrimage as having great significance for the movement for the Traditional Mass. We would like to correct some misunderstandings which have arisen over the organisation of the pilgrimage this year. The authorities (through the Secretariat of State) declined the Coetus’ request for the celebration of Mass in St Peter’s, in August. At that point it was hoped and assumed that it would nevertheless be possible to have a collective devotion of some kind for the pilgrims, in St Peter’s, as happened in 2023 and 2024 when permission for Mass was refused. The August letter did not rule this out, so the Coetus requested it. This request was refused in a letter dated 30th September, which was however not received by the organisers until well into October. In the meantime permission was sought and gained for a Prelatial …More
The Letter from the Secretary of State shows the Ad Petri Sedem procession was refused entry to St Peter’s on 30 September, weeks before the event, yet pilgrims were only told the day before. However the Saint Peter's Sacristy had indicated 1 pm was feasible; Secretariat of State still blocked it.
