The Novelty That Wore Off and the Bureaucracy That Didn’t

The historian Dr. Hanael Bianchi’s new book on Vatican II, A Liberal Revolution, does something different and, in many ways, better, in its narrow focus on the impact of the reforms on the Archdiocese of Baltimore in particular. In fact, by focusing narrowly, providing more specific examples and a simpler narrative than other books on the same era, he’s actually reached some new insights hidden from those who’ve started with a wider net, about the tumultuous post-Conciliar era of the Church, specifically how the revolutions within the Church cannot be separated from the historical and political context of the era and how the impact of this period on the Church was a brief period of psychological libertinism that congealed into institutional centralization and ossiffication.
The central claim of this book is that the implementation of Vatican II reflected an embrace of liberalism, not merely in the broad progressive sense of openness to new ideas, but more specifically in its affirmation …

"Church Can Never Accept Homosexual Lifestyle": Following a pro-homosexual Eucharist presided over by Washington Cardinal Robert McElroy at Georgetown University on June 20, New York Father Gerald Murray noted that McElroy was attempting to “let the steamroller keep rolling down the street” in order to promote homosexual sins within the Church. “The propaganda continues,” said Father Murray. Cardinal McElroy holds the view that acceptance of the homosexual lifestyle is “inevitable.” “That will never happen; it can never happen,” Father Murray concluded.

Fr. Murray on Cardinal McElroy's decision to celebrate Mass at a recent LGBT gathering in Washington, DC: "McElroy is trying to roll this steamroller down the road further, saying that it's inevitable that the church is going to accept the homosexual lifestyle. It never will"

No industry, organization, or cause tasked with solving a problem will actually solve it, because the problem disappearing threatens their economic livelihood or political power
The pharmaceutical industry has perfected this model: drugs are designed to be taken perpetually rather than cure, side effects create demand for additional drugs, and the entire regulatory apparatus is structured to suppress affordable natural therapies that challenge it
SSRIs epitomize this dynamic — massively overprescribed, frequently life-ruining, and nearly impossible to withdraw from — yet for decades, the industry successfully kept all criticism of them out of mainstream discourse
Kennedy announced a multiagency federal effort to combat inappropriate SSRI prescribing, train providers in how to correctly taper patients off antidepressants, and provide non-pharmaceutical alternatives
This marks the first time in memory a federal health initiative has aimed to …

This is why mexican people always help other people no matter who they are, race, nationality or economic status, like the help they've provided many times to the U.S. and other parts of the world without interest, without asking to have all their expenses to travel or stay, or food covered. It's because it comes from childhood, as they learn to work out of necessity, and gladly and lovingly help their parents and people.

Ex-Spain PM Zapatero Faces Court in Corruption Hearing

Ex-Spain PM Zapatero Faces Court in Corruption Hearing

Reported by
Former Spanish Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero testified Wednesday before the country's highest criminal court, categorically denying allegations that he orchestrated an influence-peddling scheme tied to a multimillion-euro airline bailout.
The Spanish news outlet InfoLibre
reported that during a three-hour hearing at the Audiencia Nacional in Madrid, Zapatero formally faced four criminal charges: influence peddling, money laundering, tax fraud, and smuggling.
Investigating judge José Luis Calama alleges that Zapatero sat at the "apex" of a "stable and organized structure" that traded high-level institutional and business influence for payments.
The probe centers on a 53 million euros ($61.5 million) government bailout granted by the state holding company SEPI to Plus Ultra, an airline with ties to Venezuelan businessmen.
The judge’s suspicions are partly based on communications intercepted by the U.S. Homeland Security Investigations from Rodolfo Reyes Rojas …

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.»

Franciscan University Leaders and Theologians Issue Open Letter to the SSPX

“Do you also want to leave?” (John 6:67)
Open Letter to the Society of Saint Pius X (General House)

Dear Father Davide Pagliarani, Superior General
Dear Members of the General Council
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ!
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.
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 …

Most of these people are converts from protestantism who have made careers off their conversion stories, which they think somehow merits them to be experts in all things Catholic. More humility and meekness is due from them, as a matter of justice, in reparation for the evils of protestantism.

"Most People Are Choosing Hell" – Fr. Fasching on the Church's Silence on the Last Things

Someone who lived practicing the vice of sodomy will suffer more pains in Hell than any one else, because this is the worst sin that there is.” (St. Bernardine of Siena
'There, the associates of his wretchedness, far from alleviating the lot of the damned soul, will make it more intolerable for him.'

"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

The Apostolic faith speaks to the eternal essence of God and the unchanging struggle of humans which is resolved by the timeless sacrifice on Calvary. Tucho claims that what he doesn't like in the Apostolic faith are cultural accretions. He is wrong. Lace, the mitre, and even his red zucchetto are cultural accretions. The seven deadly sins and sins which cry out to Heaven for vengeance are as fundamental to salvation as DNA is to life. This may be painful for Tucho. My heart goes out to him. But salvation comes from taking up your cross and requires sacrifice of your own preferences for the sake of Christ.

June 24, 2026. Six strong earthquakes occurred within just under 24 hours.
Source.
Of course, other theories are already circulating: Online, the US is being accused of deliberately triggering the doublet using HAARP or a similar secret technology. The earthquake, it is claimed, was intended to create chaos and facilitate direct US intervention. Others question whether the US detonated an underground nuclear bomb to “explain” the proximity to the earthquake in Japan. There is no factual basis for these theories. They are speculations, often accompanied by AI-generated videos. However, these exceptionally rare events are a fact. From an article published yesterday on tkp.at: Millennium event… Source.
