The Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X has sent an open letter to all the cardinals. It is our duty by virtue of our office, both individually and as a college, to reject the scandalous accusation that the Roman Church has departed from the Catholic faith. In the face of the schismatic act of episcopal consecration carried out without the prior grant of communio with the Pope, there must be no ambiguity. In pastoral and liturgical matters, one may proceed with pastoral sensitivity. I propose the establishment of a commission, along the lines of the former Ecclesia Dei, to enable those who have embraced this schismatic position to return to full communion with the Pope. But the boundary into schism is definitively crossed when the ministry of the Bishop of Rome, as the visible principle and enduring foundation of the Church’s unity in revealed truth, is violated. During the Council of Trent, the distinguished Polish Cardinal Stanislaus Hosius said to the Protestants of his own day—…More
ROME, 28 June 2026 — As reported yesterday, Cardinal Gerhard Müller used his intervention at the June 26-27 extraordinary consistory at the Vatican to call for a clear response to the Society of St. Pius X following its open letter to Pope Leo XIV and the College of Cardinals on the eve of the meeting. In his three-minute remarks, the former prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith also proposed establishing a commission along the lines of Ecclesia Dei to facilitate the return of those seeking “full communion with the Pope” following the SSPX episcopal consecrations scheduled for July 1 in Écône. It has now emerged that His Eminence also used his three minutes to push back on the new “synodal style” format of consistories, criticizing the prioritization of small-group exchanges over plenary debate and discussions between the Pope and members of the Sacred College. Below is the full text of Cardinal Müller’s intervention, translated into English from the original …
At an outdoor "Pride Mass" this week In New York, Fr Chris Lawton apologized to the attendees, claiming the Church doesn't "recognize the presence of God" in them, and is carrying out acts of injustice against "transgenders".
On June 25, skinny Paulist Father Chris Lawton celebrated an annual homosex Eucharist at the Stonewall National Monument in Christopher Park, New York City. Around 150 people attended, reports NcrOnline.org. The Eucharist was organized by the notorious homosexual parish St. Paul the Apostle in Manhattan. It took place at the start of 'New York Pride weekend'. The location was disfigured with dozens of rainbow flags. Fr Lawton apologized to homosexuals for times when the Church had failed to recognize God's presence in them. He believes that „transgender Catholics” continue to face unique injustice within the Church. He added that there is a movement toward inclusion of homosexuals underway in the Church: "The train has left the station. And we are going somewhere." Since February 6, the Archdiocese of New York has been led by Monsignor Ronald Hicks - another of Leo XIV's bad appointments. #newsBcfrbukhdr
Here's the "Great Conversion Story of Louise Sighouin" from the Magnificat and written by John Janaro. He's an associate professor emeritus of theology at Christendom College. His blog can be found here. Sadly, this kind of evangelizing story can no longer be publicly told. Conversion to Christianity has become something negative. It's now associated with white supremacy, colonization and oppression. In Canada, the early Jesuit martyrs have been pretty much forgotten. Their story of spreading the Gospel to the Indigneous peoples of Canada is politically incorrect and often edited if told. We must not commit the woke "sin" of cultural appropriation. Nevetheless, here's the inspiring story of Louise Sighouin. In this series, we have already heard something of the mid 19th century missionary journeys of Father Pierre-Jean de Smetand his Jesuit confreres, who came from Belgium and France to Missouri beginning in 1823. At that time, Missouri was the frontier of the rapidly expanding United …
His Beatitude Patriarch Theophilos III of Jerusalem and His Beatitude Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, conducted a pastoral visit to the Gaza Strip from 22–23 June 2026, accompanied by His Excellency Dr. Josef D. Blotz, Grand Hospitaller of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, and representatives of Malteser International. During the visit, the Patriarchs met with the local Christian community, visited families and institutions, celebrated the Eucharist at Holy Family Parish, and reaffirmed the Churches’ closeness to the people of Gaza. They also blessed a new healthcare clinic established through the collaboration of the Sovereign Order of Malta and the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem, as well as a newly renovated building for the Latin Patriarchate’s kindergarten. The visit concluded with the graduation of 24 preschool children, highlighting the Church’s commitment to education, hope, and the future of Gaza. “Gaza Is Not Only War—It Is a Desire for …More
35. It is the crime of LYING IN WAIT which is first degree murder. For days or weeks with malice aforethought for brutal murder. Ps 10:8 & 37:32, Prov 1:11 & 12:6, Deuteronomy 19:11, Jer 5:26 36. Women who die from abortion are guilty of suicide and child murder states St. Jerome 35. Some, when they learn that they are with child through sin, practice abortion by the use of drugs. Frequently they die themselves and are brought before the rulers of the lower world guilty of three crimes: suicide, adultery against Christ, and murder of an unborn child.” Saint Jerome 37. God will hate her tongue, hands, heart and feet Proverbs 6:16-18 38. They know that abortion is murder because God’s law is written on every human heart Romans 2:15 39. Abortion is the opposite of being saved women are saved by childbearing 1 Tim 2:15 40. She cannot repent unless God raises her from spiritual death. God grants forgiveness to the repentant but never guarantees to give the grace of repentance in the first …More
Venezuela: The Prophetic Spark? As global tensions rise and Venezuela once again draws international attention, many Catholics are asking a serious question: Is Venezuela simply a nation in crisis — or could it be a warning sign for the world? In this video, we explore the approved Marian apparitions of Betania, the life and mission of Servant of God Maria Esperanza de Bianchini, and the powerful call to reconciliation that Heaven delivered decades ago — a call that feels increasingly urgent today. We examine: • Official messages from Our Lady of Betania (1976 & 1989) • The reported remark “It will start here” discussed by Michael H. Brown • A balanced analysis of the Spirit Daily article “Will Venezuela Be a Prophetic ‘Spark’?” • Current global and regional tensions — presented responsibly and prayerfully • Parallels with Fatima and Akita, where Heaven warned of suffering if humanity failed to repent This video does not claim dates or predictions. It is offered for discernment …More

"Young People Want Traditional Mass": Bishop James Conley of Lincoln, Nebraska, told EWTN on June 26 that he sees "a resurgence of interest in all things traditional, especially among young people": "They want reverence. They want transcendence. They want beauty in the liturgy." He believes this desire is also influencing the Novus Ordo: "I believe that we're seeing a trend turning more traditional even in the Novus Ordo. And I think this is a good thing." Ordained in 1985, Bishop James Conley has celebrated the Mass in the Roman rite since 1988, though about 95% of the time he uses the Novus Ordo.
Bishop James Conley, Lincoln: "There is a resurgence of interest in all things traditional, especially among young people. I see it in my own diocese. They want reverence. They want transcendence. They want beauty in the liturgy." "Thanks be to God we have not only the Fraternity of Saint Peter, but I have a couple of priests who celebrate, with permission of the Holy See, a Sunday Mass in the Extraordinary Form... It's my hope that as they continue to ordain priests... they will be able to meet the needs of the people who desire this form of the Mass." "So don't give up and don't jump ship."
"Thanks be to God we have not only the Fraternity of Saint Peter, but I have a couple of priests who celebrate, with permission of the Holy See," He is thanking God for Novus Ordo priests who accept V2 as promulgated by the synodal church right? And this is the synodal tradition they want to hand on to the next generation right?
The SSPX never entered the path of heresy, it was never schismatic, it did not create a separate jurisdiction” Cardinal Darío Castrillón, prefect of the Congregation for the Clergy from 1996 to 2006 and president of the Pontifical Commission Ecclesia Dei from 2000 until his retirement in 2009.
"How many civilians have actually been killed?! You don't know, do you?" Piers Morgan grills John Spencer on his claim that Israel's ratio of civilian deaths to combatants in Gaza is "the best ratio in modern warfare".
This is Part One of the interview for the British audience I gave a few days ago, where I answer questions not so much on the contemporary politics but on Russian Soviet History. Why did the Soviet Union collapse? Why did Putin come to power? Why is he so popular in Russia and so much detested in some West European ruling circles? Dr. Brovkin served as an Associate Professor of Soviet History at Harvard University, he is the author of numerous books on Russian History and politics. His latest book: From Vladimir Lenin to Vladimir Putin: Russia in Search of Its identity (Routledge, London 2024) is available from Amazon and Routledge.com. Yu can find: Russia under Yeltsin and Putin, Russia under the Communist Regime, War in Ukraine, European History and other playlists. THESE WERE CONVERTED TO PODCASTS on You Tube music. FOLLOW me ON X TWITTER Vladimir Brovkin (@BrovkinVla97791) on X. I HAVE JUST BEGUN AUDIO PODCASTS WITH RSS.COM Video Putin: Why is He Loved, or Feared?
I am corrected by Dr. Brovkin. It's not 83 -84% favorabilty but 86%! I thought it was higher. But I went by someone I watch. I use to see many interviews with many people and their happiness I knew he was off. But still a very high number for a man in office so long. And they will continue to vote for him as long as he runs. Which came from each interview. But I don't think there will be a next time to vote for anyone. I think Putin's time is over. He has done all he can and hopefully will see it till the end of his term. With GOD stepping in, or I should say, stepping back to let The Great Chastisement begin. As we are only in the very beginnings of it. The way I see it is, as well as others and from Putin himself, while he is going slowly in Ukraine to save lives of men on both sides. GOD is allowing things to go slow so He can call souls to Himself. Does anyone else see it that way? Or am I the only one to see this?

Small wonder why so many soccer fans are really impressed with the United States. We have ice cubes, lots of air conditioning, large soft drinks with refills, and free condiments for hamburgers and hot dogs.
Britische Behörden fordern Hausbesitzer auf, Klimaanlagen zu entfernen, während die Temperaturen auf 40 °C steigen „Ein außergewöhnlich hartes Vorgehen der britischen Behörden hat für Empörung gesorgt, nachdem Hausbesitzer angewiesen wurden, ihre Kühlsysteme zu demontieren – und das, obwohl die Temperaturen in Teilen des Landes auf bis zu 40 Grad Celsius zu klettern drohten. Vertreter der Planungsbehörden argumentierten, Klimaanlagen sollten nur als „letztes Mittel“ eingesetzt werden; Hausbesitzer müssten stattdessen zunächst auf Maßnahmen wie das Öffnen von Fenstern, das Zuziehen von Vorhängen und die Verwendung von Ventilatoren zurückgreifen. Der Streit fällt in eine Zeit, in der Millionen Menschen unter einer weiteren heftigen Hitzewelle leiden; Meteorologen warnen zudem, dass in einigen Regionen sogar Temperaturrekorde aus dem historischen britischen Sommer 2022 übertroffen werden könnten. In einem konkreten Fall wurde ein Hausbesitzer in London angewiesen …More
