The Children of Mary, a relatively new and tradition-friendly women's religious order based in Columbus, Ohio, has been suppressed. Columbus Bishop Earl Fernandez (himself a tradition-friendly bishop) took the step after the Vatican declared it would never approve Children of Mary's erection as an institute of diocesan right. The Children of Mary accepted the decision "in a spirit of faith, humility, and filial obedience to the Church we love."

Highlights - Republic of San Marino: Meeting with Clergy, 22 August 2026, Pope Leo XIV During his visit to San Marino on August 22, Pope Leo XIV highlighted the legacy of Saints Marinus and Leo, the founders of the Republic. As laymen and stonemasons—who were only later called to ordained ministry—“they knew how to translate the Gospel message into a new communal and political model strongly characterized by the Christian principles of freedom, mutual respect, and communion.” Pope to youth: Open your hearts to the infinite The Holy Father began his address to the ecclesial community of San Marino with an invitation to young people to open their hearts to the infinite, rather than being satisfied with “partial, immediate answers.” This, he said, can lead them to an encounter with God, who can help them leave their mark on history. Pope Leo went on to invite all those present to enthusiastically embrace the mission given them by God, and to have the courage to make demanding choices, such …More
Pope in San Marino: Respond to conflict by … Responding to conflict by following the Gospel with greater conviction Pope Leo insisted that Jesus is the definitive answer to the questions of the meaning of life, and that the Gospel is the “path of freedom” for all men and women. As such, it is a gift we can give to all those we meet. And it is why Christians practice charity in all its diverse forms, but always aimed at “the ultimate and integral good of the people to whom we offer our support.” In a world marked by conflict, he said, “our response can only be to walk with even greater conviction on the path of the Gospel”. Pope Leo XIV concluded his address by once again recalling the importance of communion in order to overcome individualism and “distrustful and divisive parochialism,” and “to breathe new life into our hopes for fraternity and peace.” This, he said, is a part both of the legacy of Saints Marinus and Leo, and of “our mission to continue with perseverance and dedication …More
Seeking the approval of those who, objectively speaking, are heresiarchs cannot be the supreme or even secondary goal. Riaan Van Zyl August 20, 2026 One of the strange phenomena among mainstream traditionalists is that, while they publicly pay lip service to recognizing Leo as the pope, they actually adhere to a carefully crafted “magisterium” consisting of the pronouncements of fellow prelates and influencers. Three clergy form the backbone of this pseudo-magisterium: Bishop Athanasius Schneider, Cardinal Raymond Burke, and Cardinal Robert Sarah. What usually happens is that when any of these men offer an opinion on a podcast or written interview, or issue a new pastoral letter, Trad Inc. acts like they have just received a brand new encyclical letter. This past week, said influencers were likely in a state of ecstasy, as not only did Cardinal Burke speak with Michael Knowles, but shortly thereafter Bishop Schneider issued a public statement. As is the case with Burke and Sarah, Bishop …More

After a Scholar’s Awful Death, Mistaken Calls for Censorship - A Rush to Pin a Sad Death on the Media Aug. 17, 2026 nytimes.com/…pinion/jason-arday-cambridge-plagiar… By Michelle Goldberg Opinion Columnist Last year, Jack Grove, a reporter for Times Higher Education, a British magazine, was preparing an article about plagiarism allegations against the star academic Jason Arday. It would have been a big story because Arday, who in 2023 became Cambridge’s youngest-ever Black professor, was a minor celebrity, thanks in part to his seemingly extraordinary biography. Among other things, Arday said that he’d gotten his Ph.D. despite severe autism that left him nonverbal until he was 11 and unable to read until he was 18. He’d claimed to have run 600 miles in six days, which would have made him one of the world’s most accomplished ultramarathoners. Grove sent Arday three emails with questions about both his work and his history. Arday responded by hiring one of Britain’s leading defamation …More
Andy @andreas_nigbur THE LIBRARIES THEY BURNED. You've been taught that the Library of Alexandria was the greatest loss of knowledge in human history. A library. A fire. A tragedy. You've never been told about the OTHER libraries. Between 1850 and 1910, over 600 major libraries, archives, and government buildings worldwide were destroyed by fire. Not by chance. Not by war. But by FIRE. The pattern is unmistakable: 1851 – Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. Burned down. 35,000 volumes destroyed. 1871– The Great Chicago Fire. All of the city's public records, land registry documents, and historical records – destroyed. 1871 – In the same week as Chicago: Peshtigo, Wisconsin. The most devastating fire in American history. All records destroyed. 1872– The Great Boston Fire. Financial district and archives – destroyed. 1873– Portland, Oregon. City center and all municipal records – destroyed. 1891 – University of Toronto Library. 33,000 volumes – destroyed. 1904 – The Great Baltimore Fire …More
Slovak pro-LGBT Catholic priest Adam Štefanec, 29, of the Diocese of Žilina said in an August 12 video that he does not like the word “God.” Rev. Štefanec believes that the term had accumulated so many associations that it no longer speaks to people today. “I try to find words that are universal,” he said, naming “humanity” as a universal value. Asked what Christ wants from people, Rev. Štefanec said the answer is “different for everyone,” different in every age, and “constantly changing.” Previously, Rev. Štefanec has supported homosex civil partnerships and said that homosexuality is not a sin.
