"A Madman Can Separate the Gospel from Cultural Husks"

In his May 2026 lecture at the Pontifical Urbaniana University, Cardinal Víctor "Tucho" Fernández said: "Sometimes it takes a madman, desperately in love with his land and his people, capable of separating the Gospel from certain cultural husks that have become attached to it but are not an essential part of its message, and of rereading it in the light of what his people are living today."
Tucho added: "Ultimately, it is the Gospel, written within an ancient culture, that now acquires another 'flesh' in popular rites, venerated images, aphorisms and customs, reflections, ways of living the faith, and in music."
On 25 June, Carlos Daniel Lasa wrote on ElWanderer.com that Tucho's contextual theology displaces Revelation and makes the lived experience of each people the decisive point for theology. Tucho relativises immutable doctrine and reduces theology to historical interpretation.
Lasa's central thesis is even more far-reaching: Pope Francis sought to "refound" the Church, appointed …More

Cardinal Müller on lay homilies: “One cannot arbitrarily divide up priestly powers and outsource them in a functionalist manner unless one denies the sacramental priesthood altogether in a Protestant manner, subsumes it entirely under the common priesthood of all the faithful, and leaves it merely as a function carried out on behalf of the community”

Cardinal Muller: Push for lay homilies stems from denial of ‘sacramental priesthood’

VATICAN CITY (PerMariam) — Cardinal Gerhard Müller has added his voice to the Vatican’s in opposing a move by the German bishops to have lay people delivering homilies during Mass.
“One cannot arbitrarily divide up priestly powers and outsource them in a functionalist manner,” he warned, “unless one denies the sacramental priesthood altogether in a Protestant manner, subsumes it entirely under the common priesthood of all the faithful, and leaves it merely as a function carried out on behalf of the community.”

Catholic theologians have taken the unprecedented step of asking Pope Leo XIV to break the Church’s silence on the theological legitimacy of the State of Israel, arguing that influential antisemitic Catholics are leveraging this silence to demonize the Jewish nation.
In an
open letter to Leo, dated June 22, 2026, theologians Fr. Antoine Lévy and Prof. André Villeneuve from Catholics for Israel note that the Holy See “has never issued a magisterial statement that could be read as even a minimal theological acknowledgment of [Israel’s] legitimacy.”
The theologians warn Leo that the magisterium’s “theological silence” is “being weaponized” by high-profile Catholic influencers like Matt Fradd, Candace Owens, and Carrie Prejean Boller, who rely “on a systematic vilification of the State of Israel” and strive to sever the Catholic Church’s rapproachment with the Jewish people …

At least 12 injured in Ukrainian strike on Russian WWII monument – governor

A museum complex in Russia’s Rostov Region has been hit in a drone attack, Governor Yury Slyusar has said
At least 12 people have been injured in a Ukrainian drone attack on Russia’s Rostov Region, Governor Yury Slyusar has said. The strike targeted a museum and a monument dedicated to the Soviet soldiers who liberated the area from the Nazis during World War II in 1943, according to the official.
A Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) hit the main exhibition hall and the information center of the Sambek Heights museum complex, Slyusar said in a statement on Telegram on Saturday, calling the incident a “great tragedy.” Ten of the people injured were subsequently hospitalized, he added.
The Sambek Heights monument was initially created in 1980 to honor the deeds of the Soviet troops who fought in the area. In 2013, the regional government approved a public initiative to establish a museum complex near the monument, which eventually opened in 2020.
The complex is also commonly known …

Slaughter of a nation: EU plans to exclude Ukrainians of military age from EU asylum protection

The European Union famously accepted millions of refugees from other countries at war, the majority of which were military-aged males. Now, those protections will be ending for Ukrainian males who are fleeing conscription in Ukraine.
Magnus Brunner, EU commissioner for internal affairs and migration, announced that the European Commission proposes to extend temporary protection for Ukrainians until March 4, 2028, with the
exception of people fleeing military service in Ukraine.
“To ensure this, temporary protection is not to be granted as a rule to newly arriving persons, who are not authorized by the Ukrainian authorities to leave Ukraine in view of their military obligations,” said Brunner. “This is what Ukraine has asked us to do, and this is what we are doing.”
He added that the European Commission’s proposal “takes into account Ukraine’s changing defense and reconstruction needs.”
Already, hundreds of thousands of young Ukrainian males have died at the front or been seriously …

"FSSPX Are Schismatic Priests": Cardinal Gerhard Müller told EWTN that Catholics “cannot go” to Masses offered by the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (SSPX): “They shouldn't go and cannot go, participate in the masses of the schismatic priests.” He added that Catholics must accept not only dogmas such as the Trinity and the Incarnation, but also that “the Church is the visible presence of the Body of Jesus Christ.” Regarding the FSSPX's planned episcopal consecrations, he said: “Consecrations without the Pope are absolutely impossible against the will of God, and who is working against God will be excommunicated.” The Vatican has so far never used the word "schism" or "schismatic" in context with the FSSPX.

Cardinal Müller's remarks to EWTN (June 26) were strikingly uncompromising: "Catholics cannot go to these schismatic priests."

Leo XIV: "War Never Blessed By God": At today's extraordinary consistory, Leo XIV once again rejected the just war theory, declaring: "War is never worthy of man, and is never blessed by God." He also announced that the extraordinary consistory would become an annual event, with meetings lasting approximately two days held around the Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul on 29 June. Furthermore, Leo XIV described his exercise of the papal office as that of one who 'asks' rather than commands.

Concistoro, Leone XIV indica ai cardinali il primato dell’ascolto

Alle 7.30 di questa mattina, nella Basilica Vaticana e sulla tomba dell’apostolo Pietro, Leone XIV ha presieduto la Santa Messa che ha aperto il secondo Concistoro straordinario del suo pontificato, in programma il 26 e il 27 giugno. È il secondo appuntamento di questo genere dopo quello del 7 e 8 gennaio scorso, ma non si tratta di un evento isolato. Per esplicita volontà del Papa, manifestata già a braccio al termine della prima riunione, il Concistoro straordinario è ormai configurato come un metodo di governo destinato a ripetersi con cadenza annuale, sempre a ridosso della solennità dei Santi Apostoli. La scelta della data, dunque, non è affatto casuale.
Nell’omelia, Prevost si è soffermato sull’immagine giovannea della vite vera. Da essa ha tratto la grammatica dell’intero appuntamento: «Rimanete in me e io in voi», con l’avvertimento che «senza di me non potete far nulla» e, insieme, l’attesa di «molto frutto». È una delle cifre di questo pontificato, che insiste sulla …

Leo urges unity, obedience opening a consistory stripped of key issues

Beginning the Extraordinary Consistory, Leo XIV urged his cardinals to be honest and frank with him, whilst also highlighting the need for unity born out of obedience to Christ.
The second part of January’s consistory was how this two-day meeting was originally billed, but in recent weeks it has taken on a nature of its own, thanks to the
publication of Magnifica Humanitas and the attention given to the 2028 Synodal Assembly.
Removed from the schedule was any discussion of the Just War Doctrine – which Leo wrote in his encyclical was out of date – along with discussion of the liturgy. The absence of this latter point appears to be directly due to the imminent episcopal consecrations planned by the SSPX for July 1, according to reliably sourced Vaticanist Nico Spuntoni.

Challenging Misconceptions: Defending the Gospel Sources

It is a frontal attack, conducted on the ground that the theologian considers decisive: that of the sources. Monsignor Antonio Staglianò, president of the Pontifical Theological Academy, intervenes in the debate opened by philosopher Umberto Galimberti after the publication of the book 'The Words of Jesus', in which the author argues that Christianity has betrayed the original message of Christ. Galimberti, presenting the volume, stated that 'Christianity is the radical negation of the words of Jesus', also claiming that 'Jesus absolutely did not want to found a religion, because it was founded by St. Paul', that 'he never defined himself as the Son of God, but always as the Son of Man', and that the expression 'Son of God' would appear in the Gospels only on Pilate's lips. For Staglianò, these are statements that do not withstand verification against the Gospel texts.

In saner times he would be unsuited and booted!

26 neoconservative theology professors from Franciscan University of Steubenville - including Scott Hahn, John Bergsma, Michael Waldstein, Mark Miravalle, and university president Fr. Dave Pivonka - has published an open letter urging the FSSPX not to proceed with episcopal consecrations without a pontifical mandate. They represent a substantial portion of Steubenville's influential Theology Department (about 30 faculty members). Their argument is that no crisis in the Church justifies an act that would further damage the Church's visible unity with the Pope.

Open letter addressed to the SSPX leadership by nearly all the theologians of Franciscan University of Steubenville. «We write not as adversaries, but as fellow Christians who love the Church, which is built on Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition, and who, like you, long for the salvation of souls. Your love for the beauty of the traditional liturgy and your reverence in worship witness your earnest desire to serve the Lord. We share this love and desire.... The treasures of Catholic Tradition do not belong outside communion with Peter; they belong at the heart of the Church.»

Your love for the beauty of the traditional liturgy and your reverence in worship witness your earnest desire to serve the Lord. We share this love and desire.
With humility we ask you to reconsider the announced consecration of bishops, scheduled for July 1st. It would cement and deepen the already existing separation between the Society and the See of Peter. Our Lord Jesus Christ prayed to the Father, “that all may be one” (John 17:21). Unity in the Church is not merely practical; it belongs to the very will of Christ. The Church is one because Christ is one. We are convinced that every …

Not only that, but they dishonestly imply the SSPX's concerns are all about the liturgy. (Their concerns, in fact, are principally about the perennial dogma of the Church, which the establishment unhappily departed from.) Then the faculty quotes Vatican II at the SSPX and all of us. How boneheaded can you be in such a statement? Why say anything at all?

It seems that this is signaling to the university's alumni and future students: "Don't worry. We're card-carrying members of the establishment in the Church. We continue to be a safe university."
