15,000 People Attend the Episcopal Consecration: Around fifteen thousand laypeople and a thousand priests and religious currently attend the episcopal consecration in Ecône. During the consecration sermon, Father Davide Pagliarani advanced the strange argument that "we belong to the same Church because we have the same faith," even though the controversy concerns questions of ecclesiastical authority rather than the content of the faith.
Tausende (aber nicht hunderttausend) Gläubige bei den heutigen Bischofsweihen
June 30, 1988 Your Excellency, dear Bishop de Castro Mayer, my most dear friends, my dear brethren, Behold, here we are gathered for a ceremony, which is certainly historic. Let me, first of all, give you some information. The first might surprise you a little, as it did me. Yesterday evening, a visitor came, sent from the nunciature in Berne, with an envelope containing an appeal from our Holy Father the Pope, who was putting at my disposal a car which was supposed to take me to Rome yesterday evening, so that I would not be able to perform these consecrations today. I was told neither for what reason, nor where I had to go! I leave you to judge for yourselves the timeliness and wisdom of such a request. I went to Rome for many, many days during the past year, even for weeks; the Holy Father did not invite me to come and see him. I would certainly have been glad to see him if some agreement would have been finalized. So here you have the information. I give it to you simply, as I myself …More
Home » Architecture » Before and After: Holy Name Catholic Church in Sheridan, Colorado Partnering with Integration Design Group, Holy Name Catholic Church in Sheridan, Colorado recently underwent a noteworthy renovation. Now this particular parish church was originally built in the mid-1960's with some later interior renovations taking place in the late 1990's. Neither of these were, of course, decades particularly known for their time-tested, lasting beauty and in that regard, they had some challenges to overcome. Integration Design Group lays out the project as follows: A clear and simple structure constructed in 1966, the church building was in much need of renewal and beautification. The design team at Integration Design Group worked with the pastor to develop a fitting vision that would substantially increase the beauty and symbolism in support of the liturgical life of the parish. The sanctuary was completely renovated, with a new chancel arch, new brick masonry surfaces, side …
The Vatican’s financial intelligence and anti-money-laundering authority has been overhauled under a new 12-article statute that eliminates its president and board and places it under a new structure led by a director and deputy director appointed by the pope.
Jun 29, 2026 Si diligis me, pasce oves meas. Non enim pascit oves qui non diligit Christum. Mercenarius est qui non diligit, sed suum quærit, non quæ Jesu Christi. If you love me, feed my sheep. For he who does not love Christ does not feed the sheep. He is a hireling who does not love, but seeks his own interest, not that of Jesus Christ. Saint Augustine of Hippo On today’s Solemnity of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul, the Holy Church places before us the awesome mystery of the mandate entrusted by Our Lord to the Prince of the Apostles. To make amends for the threefold denial in the Praetorium, He asks Simon Peter for a threefold profession of love after appearing to the disciples on the Sea of Tiberias. Do you love me? Feed my lambs, feed my sheep (Jn 21:15–19). It is upon these words of the Master—together with those spoken at Caesarea Philippi, “You are Peter” (Mt 16:17–18)—that the Catholic Papacy is founded. The Lord builds His Church upon Peter, commanding him to tend …More
06/30/2026 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. The open provocations by European puppets, who are controlled by the globalist swamp, could lead to a war in Europe that, in the best-case scenario, will end just like the one with Iran. NATO strategists, who base their experience on the history of World War II, fail to recognize that even the most expensive weapon is powerless against simple and inexpensive means of countering it. I’ve always had a knack for business. This constant winning is giving the Americans a headache. The de-escalation framework that unfolded in the U.S.-Iran Lucerne talks largely stayed true to the original Iranian 10-point plan. Meanwhile, President Trump and Vice-President Vance deliberately muddy the waters, claiming that Iran has already agreed to IAEA inspections of Iran’s nuclear facilities (a claim repeatedly denied by Iran): Vance announced that the IAEA could have begun inspections this week. No – – the ‘Framework’ only refers to the possible IAEA supervision …
The incident occurred on Sunday at the Marzili lido’s ‘Paradiesli’ area, a female-only nudist section at the riverside complex in Bern |Freibad Marzili – Google Maps A European capital has apologised to a biological man who was removed from a women-only nude bathing section at a popular swimming spot. On Sunday, the trans bather was turfed out of the “Paradiesli”, a female-only nudist section at the Marzili lido in Bern, Switzerland. Fellow bathers questioned why the transgender swimmer was there, claiming she did not appear to be biologically female. Other swimmers came to her defence as tensions escalated at the site. The swimmer is said to have refused to leave the area. Lido staff were unable to defuse the confrontation and had to call the police. According to those supporting the trans woman, officers used “rough physical force” to push him to the ground before placing him in handcuffs. The swimmer was detained at a police station for around two hours and later spent the night …
FSSPX "Liturgical" Reply for Lacking an Apostolic Mandate: Asked about the Apostolic Mandate in the liturgical rite of the Episcopal Consecrations, a notary of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) read a declaration: “It is the Catholic and Roman Church, which has always been faithful to the traditions received from the Apostles, that, in entirely exceptional circumstances, demands that we uphold these traditions — the Deposit of Faith — and transmit them faithfully to all men for the salvation of their souls. From the Second Vatican Council to the present day, church authorities have been acting contrary to the faith and against holy tradition. They will no longer tolerate sound doctrine.”
When asked about the Apostolic Mandate for the Episcopal Consecrations, they justify why they will proceed without it.
S.D. Wright Jun 30, 2026 SSPX defenders would do well to read this explanation of the discussion in Gratian's Decretum. It's good news – if they're prepared to do what is necessary... SSPX defenders would do well to read this explanation of the discussion in Gratian’s Decretum. It’s good news – if they’re prepared to do what is necessary... Editor’s Notes If Leo XIV excommunicates the SSPX following 1st July’s episcopal consecrations – and extends this excommunication to the priests and the faithful – what will this mean? And what arguments might be cogent? Around 1140 AD, an Italian monk named Gratian collected and ordered the great mass of canonical legislation which had built up over the centuries before. Prior to the codification of Canon Law in 1917, the Church’s law was considerably less neat and tidy – but Gratian’s work marked the beginning of a new period of order. This work came to be known as Gratian’s Decree, or Decretum. In some ways similar to Denzinger’s work, …More
On June 27, an Asian cardinal criticized at the consistory the continuing restrictions on the Mass in the Roman rite, reports IlGiornale.it. The Cardinal argued that if they were lifted, it would be much easier to attract faithful prepared to leave the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X. There are three dozen Asian cardinals. The most outspoken in support of the ancient Roman rite are Cardinals Malcolm Ranjith of Colombo, Sri Lanka, and William Goh of Singapore. Picture: AI, #newsFeyawfwlyc

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.
