While previous popes usually avoided accepting secular awards, Leo XIV today received the 2026 Liberty Medal from the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia. The Centre said it was honouring the Pope for his support of religious liberty, freedom of conscience and human dignity — all of which are ideological frameworks that are not specifically Catholic. The National Constitution Center describes itself as a nonpartisan institution dedicated to constitutional education. In practice, it is a prominent institution within the U.S. civic establishment, regularly hosting former presidents, senior government officials, judges, military leaders, and foreign-policy figures. In a video address from the Vatican, Leo XIV praised the United States for having “opened its own doors to successive waves of immigrants, enabling them and their children to contribute to shaping the nation's future.” #newsGognnhkfug

Some clarifications about a principle which seems ‘too good to be true’ – but is true, nonetheless. Introduction On the 30th June, the day before the SSPX’s episcopal consecrations, I published an explanation of why heretics are unable to excommunicate – along with a translation of CausaXXIV,Quest.I, from Gratian’s Decretum, which deals with this topic. Some of the texts which state this are as follows: C. IV. [Audivimus] An excommunicated person cannot excommunicate another. [Pope Alexander II writing to Bishop Valerius the Martyr] We have heard that Henry, called Archbishop of Ravenna, has attempted to excommunicate you. But since, being excommunicated, he could not excommunicate you …More
I ask the same question. No one can answer or prove it. RT has vehemently condemned the restrictions and rejected the EU’s accusations, stressing that the bloc has consistently failed to point to a “a single example, a single grain of evidence” of false reporting.
That's why RT is blocked by these people. They fear the people will get the truth. They call it Russian propaganda or fake news. When it's they who write propaganda and who write fake news pieces. They can't show proof. Because there is none. Just ask any propagandist and they won't be able to show you one time. They will just repeat, fake news, Russian propaganda. Just like how the EU spread that Russia caused 10 wars. When asked to show proof. they have none to show. Just like Georgia they accused Russia of starting, which was debunked over and over and over again. RT is famous for telling the truth and revealing what others suppress and delete. They are more famous than several fake news outlets combined!
Superior General of the FSSPX to Leo XIV following the excommunications: “these condemnations compel us to love the Holy Church even more and to meet its needs with all our strength, now more than ever. For this very reason, the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X voluntarily offers the suffering caused by these new sanctions for the good of the universal Church and of His Holiness”
This is what true Catholic combat looks like SSPX is a counter Winnipeg Statement of 1968. SSPX conscience is informed by traditional catholic teaching of the ages . Where's SSPX religious freedom to follow their conscience ? Humanae vitae battle you used follow your conscience what about SSPX conscience???? Error has no rights we are not free to choose .Now who is in error?
On July 2, Leo XIV appointed a rather orthodox and Catholic priest to an important English see. Rev. Stephen Wang, 59, currently rector of the Venerable English College in Rome, was named Bishop of Arundel and Brighton. Rev. Wang is the founder of Sycamore, one of the most widely used Catholic evangelization programmes in the English-speaking world. He is believed to be the first English Catholic bishop with Chinese ancestry. His father is Chinese, with family roots in Guangdong Province in southern China. Wang himself was born in London and grew up in Harpenden, Hertfordshire. PhD on Happiness He was ordained a priest of the Archdiocese of Westminster in 1998 and has a PhD from Cambridge on human happiness. His later published book developed this research into Aquinas and Sartre: On Freedom, Personal Identity, and the Possibility of Happiness. He also earned a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from the University of Reading. Early Years: Defender of Catholic Morals In 2007, he …More
Frank Wright Jul 03, 2026 Why the SSPX and their faithful are excommunicated for being Catholic. Fr Pagliarani, SSPX Superior General, gives his homily during the consecrations. I went to Econe in Switzerland this week with my son to witness the consecration of four bishops by the SSPX, a traditional Catholic fraternity which exists to ensure that traditional Catholicism is preserved. The Vatican has now excommunicated all the priests, religious, bishops and everyone who adheres to the SSPX - that means, people like me who go to mass and receive the sacraments in SSPX parishes. Reports are already emerging raising issues with the excommunications, as they are said to theologically questionable and inconsistent with canon law. The Society of St Pius X and its faithful have been excommunicated by the Vatican for being too Catholic. Some of the 16000 faithful arriving for the consecrations at the SSPX Seminary in Econe, Switzerland. Why has this happened? This has happened because the …More
On 2 July, the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, led by Cardinal Víctor Fernández, issued a decree and an accompanying explanatory note on the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX). InfoVaticana.com notes the two documents carry very different legal weight. The decree declares that the six bishops directly involved in the 1 July illicit episcopal consecrations have incurred latae sententiae excommunication. Canon law permits only a declaratory decree or judicial sentence to declare such penalties, limiting the decree's legal effect to those six bishops. The explanatory note goes further, stating that FSSPX priests are in schism, and that lay faithful who formally adhere to the schism incur excommunication. However, the note has no penal force because it is neither a law, a penal precept, nor a declaratory decree or judicial sentence, but simply a doctrinal explanation. Furthermore, latae sententiae excommunication requires an individual assessment of culpability and cannot …More
Does that include: 1) Being in communion with Pachamama and similar deities? 2) Being in Communion with LGTB (Fiducia Suplicans)? 3) Being in Communion with those who call the Glorious Victory of The Cross "God's failure"? 4) Being in Communion with those who degrade The Blessed Mother of God by abolition of Mediatrix y Co-Redemptrix? 5) Being in Communion with Islam that proclaims that all that accept Jesus as God deserves hell and deny that Jesus was crucified on the Cross?
SSPX Consecrations: Valid, but deeply problematic This will probably be my last post about the SSPX unless they decide one day to fully return to the Church and enter into full communion with the Holy Father. I’ve said what I needed to say, and at this point the rest is in Rome’s hands. But after watching the consecrations yesterday, July 1, I think there are a few things that need to be pointed out because, while the episcopal consecrations themselves are valid, several things that happened during the liturgy were, in my opinion, deeply problematic. The first issue is the so-called papal mandate. Before the consecration even began, Bishop Alfonso de Galarreta, the principal consecrator, asked Bishop Bernard Fellay whether he had the papal mandate required for the consecration to proceed. That question isn’t just ceremonial. In the Catholic rite, it has real meaning because bishops are ordinarily consecrated with a mandate from the Roman Pontiff. The problem is that the SSPX did not …More
WHO Director Tedros Attacks Bishop Schneider: WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus responded on X.com after an older video of Bishop Athanasius Schneider resurfaced online. In the video, Bishop Schneider describes mass immigration into Europe as an invasion aimed at islamising the continent and argues it threatens Europe's Christian heritage. Tedros said calling immigrants "invaders" dehumanises them and argued many are families fleeing war, hunger, and hardship. He added that migration should be managed with order and fairness but distinguished that from "demonising" immigrants.

The Vatican has officially issued a decree of excommunication to the bishops of the SSPX; +Alfonso de Galarreta, +Bernard Fellay, +Pascal Schreiber, +Michael Goldade, +Michel Poinsinet de Sivry, and +Marc Hanappier. As regards the lay faithful, those who formally adhere to the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X are to be considered schismatic and excommunicated.
The Vatican's Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith on July 2 issued a decree excommunicating the six bishops of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX). The decree also warns clergy and faithful not to adhere to the Fraternity's schism, stating that doing so incurs automatic excommunication. An accompanying explanatory note says that all attempts since Pope Paul VI to reconcile the movement founded by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre with the Catholic Church have failed. The recent episcopal consecrations against the will of Pope Leo XIV, it says, "constituted the offense of schism, with the resulting canonical consequences for the sacred ministers and lay faithful involved." "The sacred ministers belonging to the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X are in schism and must therefore be considered schismatics." Lay faithful who formally adhere to the Fraternity are likewise to be considered schismatics and excommunicated. The FSSPX clergy administer "the sacraments illicitly": "The …More
Now more than ever, I will not only continue to attend the Masses celebrated by the Fraternity and receive the Sacraments it administers, but I will substantially increase my involvement.
On June 13, Bishop Olivier Schmitthaeusler, Apostolic Vicar of Phnom Penh, accepted the title Akka Mahā Upāsaka Buddha Sāsanūpatthambhakr ("Elder Great Lay Supporter and Upholder of the Buddha's Dispensation") at the temple Wat Botum Vatey in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. The title was conferred by Supreme Patriarch Nun Nget of Cambodia's Mohanikaya Buddhist order. It recognized more than twenty years of cooperation with Buddhist institutions, educational work, and social projects. Bishop Schmitthaeusler stated at the ceremony: "When religions journey together, the world will witness true peace." Already in 2022, Bishop Schmitthaeusler had received the title "Maha Upasaka" ("Great Lay Benefactor") from Cambodia's Buddhist authorities. Several days after the June 2026 ceremony, Cambodia's King awarded Bishop Schmitthaeusler the Grand Cross of the Royal Order of Cambodia. Funding Buddhist Monastic Life Since 2023, Schmitthaeusler has supported a Buddhist primary school, "Chomroen Olivier," at the …More
How can you argue with Vatican II? It says that "Buddhism teaches a path by which men, in a devout and confident spirit, can either reach a state of absolute freedom or attain supreme enlightenment by their own efforts or by higher assistance." But the Council neglected to tell us that this path of Buddhism avails nothing as far as salvation is concerned. Oops!
Akita Warning is fulfilled already, Pray for this Catholic Heirarchy, Playing Nice and Going along with this One World Order. Asch Conformity Experiment Asch Conformity Experiment … is A Great Distruction to the Souls of the Humanity.... Resist as always Guys, Ground in the Strong ROCK, our Lord Jesus Christ.
No response has yet come from the Society, and it appears that they were not informed of the Decree and Note prior to learning about the texts from members of the press.
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 20,24-29. Thomas, called Didymus, one of the Twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples said to him, "We have seen the Lord." But he said to them, "Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands and put my finger into the nailmarks and put my hand into his side, I will not believe." Now a week later his disciples were again inside and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, although the doors were locked, and stood in their midst and said, "Peace be with you." Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here and see my hands, and bring your hand and put it into my side, and do not be unbelieving, but believe." Thomas answered and said to him, "My Lord and my God!" Jesus said to him, "Have you come to believe because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed."
Aus dem Heiligen Evangelium nach Johannes - Joh 20,24-29. Thomas, der Didymus – Zwilling – genannt wurde, einer der Zwölf, war nicht bei ihnen, als Jesus am Abend des ersten Tages der Woche kam. Die anderen Jünger sagten zu ihm: Wir haben den Herrn gesehen. Er entgegnete ihnen: Wenn ich nicht das Mal der Nägel an seinen Händen sehe und wenn ich meinen Finger nicht in das Mal der Nägel und meine Hand nicht in seine Seite lege, glaube ich nicht. Acht Tage darauf waren seine Jünger wieder drinnen versammelt und Thomas war dabei. Da kam Jesus bei verschlossenen Türen, trat in ihre Mitte und sagte: Friede sei mit euch! Dann sagte er zu Thomas: Streck deinen Finger hierher aus und sieh meine Hände! Streck deine Hand aus und leg sie in meine Seite und sei nicht ungläubig, sondern gläubig! Thomas antwortete und sagte zu ihm: Mein Herr und mein Gott! Jesus sagte zu ihm: Weil du mich gesehen hast, glaubst du. Selig sind, die nicht sehen und doch glauben. angelyelina
Clash Report @clashreport Germany's Chancellor Merz: We can no longer accept the extraordinarily high levels of sick leave in our companies. We are abolishing sick leave by telephone and introducing the requirement to submit a medical certificate from the very first day of illness. We know this is a tough decision. But we can no longer afford this competitive disadvantage caused by prolonged absences from work.
