Disconcerting! by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira – Folha de S. Paulo, April 30, 1969 – Two news stories in the same newspaper caught my attention nearly simultaneously. Initial reports suggest that Paraguay’s episcopate is in open conflict with the government. It appears that a clash between spiritual and secular authorities is looming, potentially the most significant in the country’s history. A key cause of the crisis seems to be the unbearable mistreatment of political prisoners. The clergy have already expressed their protests. Archbishop Aníbal Porta issued an open letter to the head of state, condemning “the inhumane conditions prevailing in prisons.” The news naturally sparks sympathy, aligning with the Church’s role of defending the underprivileged. This noble act has nothing to do with leftism, and its nobility soothes the heart, which is often hurt by the many disappointments of our troubled religious life. However, a doubt crossed my mind as I remembered that the Paraguayan …More
Meeting for the first time with Anglican Dame Sarah Mullally, who holds the title Archbishop of Canterbury, Leo XIV encourages Catholics and Anglicans to proclaim Christ together. They prayed together in the Urban VIII Chapel in the Apostolic Palace. Leo XIV spoke about a fake archbishop who was an Anglican layman, and a pope who was far from saintly. “When archbishop Michael Ramsey and Saint Pope Paul VI announced the first theological dialogue between Anglicans and Catholics [in 1966], they spoke of seeking the ‘restoration of complete communion in faith and sacramental life’. Certainly this ecumenical journey has been complex. While much progress has been made on some historically divisive issues, new problems have arisen in recent decades, rendering the pathway to full communion more difficult to discern. I know that the Anglican Communion is also facing many of these same questions at this time. Nevertheless, we must not allow these continuing challenges to prevent us from using …More
How he can sit there and affirm and, with his presence and sacred office, validate that heretic in her delusion, and at the same time, refuse to receive in Private Audience or even meet with the FSSPX Superior General, who is a faithful and holy bulwark of the Faith, is a great travesty and injustice.
"78. ‘I desire also that the holy doctors acquire for themselves much grace, light and glory by their earnest, laudable and sacred study, and that the truth be more and more clearly detected and purified, and be traced to its source. By humbly investigating the mysteries and the admirable works of my right hand, they come to be partakers of them and of the bread of the understanding, the holy Scriptures (Eccli. 15, 3). I have especially shown my Providence in regard to doctors and teachers, although their opinions and doubts have been so diverse and for such different ends. Sometimes, for my greater glory and honor, sometimes for earthly purposes, they are permitted to dispute, and to contradict each other; and there is a great inequality in the manner in which they have proceeded and do proceed to show their emulation and earnestness."
[Mary of Agreda – XVII Century AD; Agreda, Spain/ Agreda, Spain; ‘Lady in Blue’; Abess; Writer; Mystic] “Chapter VI, part II ~ CONCERNING A DOUBT, WHICH I PROPOSED REGARDING THE DOCTRINE CONTAINED IN THESE CHAPTERS, AND THE ANSWER TO IT. 75. ‘The existence of different opinions regarding these sacraments and other mysteries in the Church, arises from the fact that I manifest and give light concerning one set of mysteries to some teachers, and illumine others concerning other mysteries; for mortals are not capable of receiving all the light. It is not expedient, that the knowledge of all things be given to one man, as long as men are viators. For also in the state of comprehensors, they obtain them in parts and according to the state and the merits of each. But the plenitude of all gifts is due only to the humanity of my Only-begotten and to his Mother in proper proportion. The other mortals receive it neither entirely, nor is it always given so clearly, as to assure them altogether.…More
Talking to Gloria.tv, Bishop Athanasius Schneider asks Pope Leo XIV to permit the episcopal consecrations of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X. Since Leo XIV continually calls for peace in the world, the bishop argues that he should also foster peace within the Church. If he cannot make peace with the faithful and clergy of the FSSPX — Catholics who love and pray for the Pope — then his appeals for peace will lose credibility. Bishop Schneider therefore recommends that the Pope allow the consecrations as a gesture of reconciliation and to build bridges with the FSSPX, with whom he should continue discussions towards a lasting solution.
Ausschnitt aus diesem Video: "Wenn der Papst in der Welt zum Frieden aufruft, sollte er auch innerhalb der Kirche Frieden stiften. Eine Erlaubnis der Bischofsweihen wäre ein seelsorgliches Zeichen des Dialogs und der Versöhnung mit der Piusbruderschaft – als Brücke zu weiterer Klärung und Einheit."

The rules are simple: they lie to us, we know they’re lying, they know we know they’re lying, but they keep lying to us, and we keep pretending to believe them. Elena Gorochowa, The Mountain of Crumbs Some attribute this sentence to Alexander Solzhenitsyn. It is difficult to arrive at the truth through it, especially when one wants to describe that truth. We know they’re lying. They know they’re lying. We know that they know we know they’re lying. And yet they keep on lying. Alexander Solzhenitsyn. Who is moved by the “truth” that the President of the United States proclaims on TruthSocial or during exchanges with journalists? The Donald Trump Bridge, which the U.S. president just unveiled on truthsocial.com. The disconnect between reality and narrative clearly made an impression on Orwell, who worried that “the very concept of objective truth is fading out of the world.” The theme of falsified history and the destruction of truth would …

Pope Leo XIV has "decided to follow the '1988 jurisprudence'" with regard to the episcopal consecrations of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) on 1 July, reports Rorate-Caeli.Blogspot.com on 25 April, referring to anonymous Roman sources. This means: "He is said to have already had a decree prepared that is similar in tone and content to the one promulgated by Pope John Paul II through Cardinal Bernardin Gantin, Prefect of the Congregation for Bishops, on 1 July 1988." The decree would declare the excommunication of the bishops involved, denouncing these episcopal consecrations as a "schismatic act". Excommunication of entire FSSPX ? Other Vaticanists have confirmed the core of the rumour. Niwa Limbu (Catholic Herald) reported on X.com that the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith is "preparing for the possibility of excommunicating the entire FSSPX, not just the bishops". Nico Spuntoni (Il Giornale) wrote that the Dicastery is "preparing for the possibility of a schism …More
'Olive branches' and 'synodality' for heretics and apostates but excommunication for those who have 'gone astray' by following the orthodox teachings of the Church for nearly 2 millennia?! Something looks awry. Pray for the Holy Father that he may need the Holy Spirit more fruitfully.
