"The Fatima Center’s own Fr. Nicholas Gruner (1942—2015) said in the interview-article The new Pope, the Church, and the Consecration (Fatima Crusader, Issue 105, Spring 2013) that Communism is “not the only error of Russia. Zionism is an error of Russia”.
– Folha de S. Paulo, November 20, 1968 – by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira During my visit to Rome in 1962, I sensed a mood of open optimism among influential and high-ranking circles about events beyond the Iron Curtain. The main reasons for this optimism were the start of the “softening” of the communist regime taking hold in Russia and Wladislaw Gomulka’s actions in Poland, which were seen as original, astute, and patriotic. In my previous article, I discussed the key features of Russia’s communist “softening” (political disintegration of the bloc of nations under Russian control, decentralization of large administrative structures within Russia, “restoration” of capitalism and property, etc.), which was widely promoted by Soviet propaganda. I also outlined the significant — if not monstrous — benefits that communists have gained from this on the international stage. This week’s telegraphic news prompts me to comment on Władysław Gomulka. To understand this communist leader’s …More
Pope Leo XIV has appointed Monsignor Lucio Adrián Ruiz, 61, as Secretary of the Dicastery for the Service of Charity. Until now, Ruiz has served as Secretary of the Dicastery for Communication and will assume his new office on 1 September 2026. Leo XIV also appointed Massimo Ralli as Under-Secretary of the Dicastery for the Service of Charity. The transfer of Msgr. Ruiz to “Charity” clears the number-two post at the Dicastery for Communication ahead of the newly appointed female prefect - the divorced and annulled - Montse Alvarado (“It is wrong to Christianise Jews”). Arm in Arm with Pro-LGBT Male Singer Monsignor Ruiz is a priest of the Diocese of Sante Fe, Argentina. He earned a PhD in telecom engineering at the Polytechnic University of Madrid and built his career as a technician for the [failed] Vatican Internet reform at the Dicastery for Communication.

The infiltration of the Catholic Church by the errors of Russia as a direct consequence of the hierarchy's failure to Consecrate Russia to the Immaculate is the darkest turning point of this age! It lead to V2. And soon to the annihilation of nations!
"This is the rotten comedy of the age." Occult mockery at its finest! And to say," They refuse certain fundamental elements of the Church, beginning with several points of the Second Vatican Council." Is an outright lie! And also the writer says, " The SSPX profession says exactly that." I didn't read that in the profession so I think the writer is way off base making that assertion. V2 isn't the problem or nexus. It is the errors of Russia, and Archbishop Lefebvre knew that!
The Roman rite is "not an attack on the unity of the Church," Cardinal François-Xavier Bustillo, 57, of Ajaccio, France, told Italian daily Il Giornale on June 29. "The Church also has the Eastern rites, and even in the West we have many rites: I am thinking of the Ambrosian Rite, the Mozarabic Rite, or the Spanish Rite," the Spanish-born cardinal added. In his view, the difficulty arises only when "the search for greater radicality turns into rigidity". However, Cardinal Bustillo opposes the reversion of Traditionis Custodes. It would be "dangerous," he said, "to send the message that Francis was wrong and that Leo XIV is here to solve the problem." He believes Leo XIV "will give a response that is fair and well-calibrated." On the episcopal consecrations by the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X, he spoke of "a painful rupture for the Church." He lamented that any new break would come little more than a year into a pontificate centered on the words [!] "peace" and "unity." Picture: …More
Never heard of this anywhere in America. Does anyone do this in any place you live in the US. I would like to know. Because I never heard of it nor seen it. Each video under a minute.

You don't have to look at all. Just first two. Both under a minute. I am very curious if any city you are living in does anything like this. Education is extremely important in Russia. Even the Orphanages have top education with children inventing all sorts of things.
Cardinal Burke Sees "No State of Emergency": Ordaining bishops without a papal mandate will have to be punished, Cardinal Raymond Burke told PerMariam.com. He hopes Leo XIV will appoint cardinals to continue talks with the FSSPX, saying reconciliation remains possible. Cardinal Burke, a canon lawyer, rejected rumours that all FSSPX members could be declared excommunicated: "I don’t think that can be sustained". Furthermore, he dismissed the FSSPX's claim of a "state of emergency" to justify episcopal consecrations. While acknowledging serious difficulties in the Church, he insisted that Catholics must remain faithful within the Church: "No situation justifies doing something that is intrinsically evil."
VATICAN CITY (PerMariam) — Cardinal Raymond Burke has given his assessment of the recent Extraordinary Consistory along with the upcoming episcopal consecrations of the Society of Saint Pius X, noting some remaining concerns about the consistory format, while lamenting the planed consecrations. Speaking with Per Mariam following the recent consistory, Cdl. Burke offered a summary of the event which drew just under 180 cardinals to Rome for the second such meeting of Leo XIV’s pontificate. As many have similarly done, Burke welcomed the return of consistory’s to the Vatican’s regular life, since it offers a chance to “discuss important questions with regard to the Church.” But he also raised his concerns about the small table “synodal” group method which has largely replaced the traditional open discussion. As for synodality itself, on which the cardinals were briefed during Saturday’s meeting, the American prelate said that it “remains unresolved.” “There really needs to be a …

Eva Vlaardingerbroek Eva Vlaardingerbroek on X Campaigners behind the ‘Save Europe Act’ say the European Commission is preparing to reject their European Citizens’ Initiative after receiving a letter warning that its proposals appear to violate the European Union’s fundamental rights and values. In a video published on Tuesday, June 30th, the initiators of the act—Dutch conservative commentator Eva Vlaardingerbroek and Austrian identitarian activist Martin Sellner—said they had received a letter from the European Commission, warning them that the Save Europe Act appears to be “manifestly contrary” to the Charter of Fundamental Rights and the EU’s “values.” The Commission also stated that the initiative’s proposed moratorium on “non-Western” immigration and its stated objective of protecting the “ethnic and cultural continuity” of Europe’s native peoples would amount to discrimination on the grounds of race or ethnic origin. According to Eva Vlaardingerbroek, the letter is “the …
Almost as if the goal is to destroy Europe as well as destroying those countries from which the migrants are escaping....after all the big corporations can then steal all the minerals in those countries without any opposition from the native population ...good plan!
Cardinal Raymond Burke criticized at the consistory the pro-homosexual Final Report of the Synod’s Study Group No. 9. AdVaticanum.com reports (June 29) that he focused on its call to privilege the "experiences" of homosexuals. Cardinal Burke described the report as manifesting “the very grave difficulty with the current direction and functioning of the Synod” and stressed that it carries weight as official synodal material. He added that, by invoking a “paradigm shift,” the report takes a path divergent from the Church’s perennial moral teaching on the homosexual condition and corresponding acts. Furthermore, the Cardinal defended the Courage apostolate supporting chastity. He criticized the report for slandering such efforts and validating agendas “in open opposition to the traditional moral doctrine of the Church.” He concluded by invoking St John Paul II’s Veritatis Splendor in defence of immutable moral norms. #newsNxgddvhpmu
July is traditionally the month of devotion to the Most Precious Blood of Jesus. In this article, you can read a short history of the devotion, read the prayer in Latin and watch a pronunciation video. History Prayer in Latin Latin pronunciation video Prayer in English The month of the Precious Blood of Jesus beautifully flows forth from the month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. As the side of Christ was pierced with a lance, out gushed blood and water, from which (as the early Fathers say) came the birth of the Church and the Holy Sacraments. Indeed, it is also by the shedding of the Spotless Lamb’s Blood that our sins are forgiven and our redemption purchased. Every single drop of the Precious Blood contains in It the entirety of the Life and Love of God; His very Self is fully contained in a single droplet from the Precious Chalice. (SOURCE) History of the devotion The devotion to the Precious Blood began in Spain, then spread to Italy and was celebrated as a feast day from the time …
Yesterday, Leo XIV wrote to the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X. He acknowledged the FSSPX's devotion to Tradition, the liturgy, and priestly formation. He begs them to "turn back" from a prospective "schismatic act", warning of its grave consequences while reaffirming the Church's openness to dialogue and reconciliation. The letter. To the Reverend Father Davide Pagliarani Superior General of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X With a paternal heart, and aware of the responsibility entrusted to me by the Lord as the Successor of the Apostle Peter, I address you and, through you, the bishops, priests, seminarians and faithful connected to the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X. The Church recognizes the devotion to liturgical life, commitment to priestly formation, apostolic zeal and desire for fidelity to Tradition that characterize many people and communities connected to your Fraternity. This has motivated the attentive and generous attitude that my Predecessors have consistently …More
Tue Jun 30, 2026 - 8:05 am EDTTue Jun 30, 2026 - 1:03 pm EDT (LifeSiteNews) — Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò has responded vigorously to Pope Leo’s open letter to the superior general of the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX). In an X post published in Italian this morning, Viganò took issue with the Pontiff’s letter, recalling the “seamless garment” theology of other American prelates. He may have also invoked a principle of canon law regarding emergency provisions: “Omnia parata sunt ad nuptias,” that is, “everything is prepared for the wedding.” “In the imminence of the episcopal Consecrations of Écône, when ‘omnia parata sunt ad nuptias,’ comes the pathetic communication with which Leo reminds the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X that ‘to tear the seamless tunic of Christ is a sin of extreme gravity’ (one wonders if it is the same seamless tunic [Ed: garment] of Bernardin and Cupich – passed to the same Prevost – to downgrade and legitimize the abominable crime of abortion…)…
No thanks. The last time Archbishop Vigano ordained a priest he ordained that defrocked pedophile Kerry Moran that began doing the rounds on the Resistance circuit in England and Ireland.
