26.08.2026 POPE LEO INTERPRETED VATICAN COUNCIL II WITH CUSHINGISM AND NOT FEENEYISM AND THEN EXCOMMUNICATED THE SSPX BISHOPS. POPE FRANCIS DID THE SAME WITH ABP. CARLO MARIA VIGANO : NON CHRISTIANS DID NOT PROTEST Non Christians in Britain must interpret Lumen Gentium 16 (saved in invincible ignorance) as being physically invisible cases in 2026. This is common sense. It is important for them to interpret Vatican Council II (LG 8, 14 16 etc) rationally i.e. LG 16 refers to an invisible case. So the conclusion is traditional. Vatican Council II says outside the Catholic Church there is no salvation (AG 7/ CCC 846). Since LG 8, 14, 16 are hypothetical and invisible cases only, they are not practical exceptions for Ad Gentes 7 which says all need faith and baptism for salvation. So AG 7 is aligned with the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus of the Council of Florence 1442 and LG 8, 14, 16 etc are not practical exceptions for AG 7 or EENS. Invisible people cannot be objective examples of …More
Preliminary Recourse of FSSPX Rejected: The Vatican’s deadline to respond to the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X (FSSPX) regarding its preliminary recourse against the July 2 decree declaring six bishops automatically excommunicated has now passed, notes @Michael Haynes The FSSPX submitted its recourse to the Holy See on July 11. Under canon law, the competent authority had 30 days to respond. With that period now expired without a decision, the FSSPX can proceed to the next stage of its canonical challenge. Canon 1735 provides that when no decision is issued within the prescribed 30 days, the time limit for presenting hierarchical recourse begins to run from the 30th day.
Lord Bebo & Friends A TASTE OF THEIR OWN MEDICINE Ukrainians in Ternopil turned the tables and ganged up on military recruiters. They stopped their car, pulled out the recruiters, beat them up and freed the guy they snatched off the streets. The situation escalated so much that riot police had to come to disperse the crowd. -> Have Ukrainians had enough of living like lobsters in a restaurant fish tank, waiting for the next one to be taken for good?

A sailor had been receiving letters from a woman he had never met. Her name was Rose. They had been writing to each other for three years. Somewhere between the long months at sea, the lonely evenings, and the letters he read over and over, he realized he had come to depend on her words. She became part of his life, and without ever planning it, they fell in love. When his service finally ended, they agreed to meet at the city’s main train station at five o’clock. Rose told him she would be wearing a red rose pinned to her coat so he could recognize her. On the way there, the sailor couldn’t stop wondering what she looked like. He had never seen a photograph of her. He didn’t know her age. He had no idea whether she was beautiful or plain, tall or short, slim or heavy. At exactly five, he saw a woman approaching with a red rose pinned to her coat. She looked to be around sixty. For a moment, the sailor hesitated. He could have turned around and walked away. Rose would never have known. …More
Chris Jackson Aug 26, 2026 A Vatican doctrinal official offered coca leaves to Mother Earth in Cusco. Francis defended her idols. Robert Prevost once knelt inside her rite. Vatican media buried the evidence. Watch the footage before reading another word. A woman stands over an arrangement on the floor in Cusco. Coca leaves have been passed around. The participants close their eyes and breathe as instructed. August, she tells them, is the special month of Mother Earth, who loves them, feeds them, and must be thanked. Each person is to breathe three times over the leaves and place them in the offering. Later, “Grandmother Fire” will carry their messages and return wisdom. Hiraeth In Exile is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a paid subscriber. Then the clergy take their turns. Bishop Lizardo Estrada Herrera, auxiliary bishop of Cusco and secretary general of CELAM, walks forward with the leaves cupped in his hands and deposits them …More
July 1 Blessed Junípero Serra Ferrer, O.F.M. (November 24, 1713 – August 28, 1784) Junípero Serra Ferrer, O.F.M. was a Spanish Franciscan friar who founded a mission in Baja California and the first nine of 21 Spanish missions in California from San Diego to San Francisco, which at the time were in Alta California in the Province of Las Californias in New Spain. He began in San Diego on July 16, 1769, and established his headquarters near Monterey, California, at Mission San Carlos Borromeo de Carmelo. The missions were primarily designed to convert the natives. Other aims were to integrate the neophytes into Spanish society, and to train them to take over ownership and management of the land. As head of the order in California, Serra not only dealt with church officials, but also with Spanish officials in Mexico City and with the local military officers who commanded the nearby presidios (garrisons). Serra was beatified by Pope John Paul II on September 25, 1988 and Pope Francis expects …More
"Well, I guess I am also jealous of the TLM promoters. They are so well organized that, even though they are few in numbers, they get a huge amount of attention from the bishops and the media."

These migrants look like they are armed for a Medieval battlefield. Among the weapons are pickaxes, knives, axes, and various tools. It is not clear whether the migrants brought these items from Morocco or obtained them in Spanish territory. Follow main channel -> LiveLeak Follow private channel -> LiveLeak Private
Rev. Michael Pfleger, 77, was reinstated effective August 24 after the Archdiocese of Chicago's Independent Review Board completed its investigation. He is known nationally for his progressive activism. Cardinal Blase Cupich, 77, said the board, assisted by the Office of Child Protection and outside investigators, concluded there was “no reason to believe” Pfleger was guilty of the allegation. Cupich accepted the recommendation and returned him to ministry at St. Sabina. According to the Chicago Sun-Times reporting, a woman alleged that Pfleger sexually abused her when she was a girl attending St. Sabina's school sometime between 1993 and 1995. The allegation surfaced this July, and Pfleger was removed from ministry on July 11 while it was investigated. Rev. Pfleger denied it emphatically from the outset, calling it an “absolute lie.” Under archdiocesan policy, the allegation was reported to police, and the accuser was offered assistance through the church's Victim Assistance Ministry. …More
Ben-Gvir claims removing UNRWA compound from East Jerusalem Israel seizes UNRWA training center in occupied East Jerusalem Israel seized the Qalandia Training Center from UNRWA to build a new educational complex, claiming historical ownership by the Jewish National Fund and prompting Palestinian calls for UN intervention. 'Israeli' police forces took control of a United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) facility in Kafr 'Aqab, located in East Jerusalem, and evicted its staff on Tuesday, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir claimed. Speaking on behalf of the police force, Ben-Gvir confirmed that a large detachment of police personnel carried out the operation to remove the UN agency from the site. "This morning, large forces of the 'Israeli' police removed UNRWA from the location," Ben-Gvir stated.

"It must be considered, however, that if there is a determined way of arriving at some end, those who proceed by a contrary way, or who turn aside from the right way, cannot attain that end. For a sick person is not cured if he uses the contrary things which the physician forbids, except perhaps by accident. Now there is a determined way of arriving at happiness, namely through virtue. For nothing attains its own end except by performing well what is proper to it: neither would a plant produce fruit if the mode of its natural operation were not preserved in it; nor would a runner reach the prize, or a soldier the palm, unless each operated according to his proper office. But for a man to operate rightly his proper operation is for him to operate according to virtue: for the virtue of each thing is that which makes its possessor good and renders his work good, as is said in Book II of the Ethics. Therefore, since the ultimate end of man is eternal life, of which it has been spoken, not …More
