When the generation of the ’68ers passes away, the unfounded, one-sided attitudes against Latin and Gregorian chant will pass away as well, Cardinal Robert Sarah told IlGiornale.it on August 27. Benedict XVI’s liberalization of the Traditional Latin Mass had a positive and even corrective influence on abuses in the celebration of the Novus Ordo, Cardinal Sarah said. “Many priests testify that discovering the Extraordinary Form helped them to celebrate better.” Furthermore, the faithful could choose which form corresponded more closely to the fostering of the faith. “But all of this was brought to an abrupt end by Traditionis Custodes while the Pope Emeritus was still alive.” Francis’ restrictions on the Latin Mass were “neither a wise nor a respectful choice.” Cardinal Sarah added that access to “ritual forms that have existed for centuries can never be artificially restricted by decrees.” Without referring explicitly to the Novus Ordo, Sarah noted that a rite that did not serve the …More
27.08.2026 Thursday NOVUS ORDO PRIEST EXPELLED FROM ITALY: CANNOT RETURN TO EUROPE A Novus Ordo Catholic priest in Rome has been expelled by the police and the issue is Vatican Council II. He belongs to a mainline Catholic religious congregation recognized by the Rome Vicariate. The Superior of a Men’s Religious community is expected to leave office on Sept 5 and will return home. This is the understanding with the police. On August 15, 2026 during Holy Mass in Italian on the feast of Our Lady of Immaculate Conception, a layman read the Prayers of the Faithful. Unknown to the priest offering Mass, he said, as part of a Prayer Intention, that the Catholic Church teaches in Vatican Council II that outside the Church there is no salvation. There was a complaint by migrants and other non Catholics. It may be mentioned that Vatican Council II says in Ad Gentes 7 that all need faith and baptism for salvation. AG 7 is inserted in the Catechism of the Catholic Church 846, under the title Outside …More

At today’s General Audience, Leo XIV praised the failed liturgical reform after Vatican II. He quoted extensively from a letter by the future Paul VI, Cardinal Montini, dated October 1962. He wrote that the faithful “cannot and must no longer remain silent and passive”. No Participation: Novus Ordo Churches Empty Leo XIV added that “the participation of the faithful cannot be passive”. The Conciliar reform “was intended to allow the liturgy to shine forth”. He believes there was “the need to make the richness of the biblical texts and prayers more accessible to all the faithful”. "Necessary" to Revise Liturgy Furthermore, Leo XIV claims that the liturgy “has always been subject to developments and changes”. “It is therefore not surprising that the Second Vatican Council too, with the utmost respect for the heritage of tradition, and precisely in order to make it more accessible, considered it necessary to revise the liturgical books.” According to Leo XIV, “the liturgical reform promoted …More
Leo XIV: “A radical reform of the liturgical rites was not in fact necessary in order to make the liturgy more accessible after the Second Vatican Council — a reality that the full, conscious, actual and extraordinarily fruitful participation in the unreformed rites today makes perfectly clear.”
It's an war on Christians, and as we don't loudly protest, nor do our pastors (except Cardinal Pizzabella), the carnage proceeds. No one seems to have hrard of anti-Catholicism.
It’s just another Catholic Church up in flames. Don’t look for a serious investigation. As the former narcissist PM Trudeau once said, it’s all understandable.
Lord Bebo & Friends A TASTE OF THEIR OWN MEDICINE Ukrainians in Ternopil turned the tables and ganged up on military recruiters. They stopped their car, pulled out the recruiters, beat them up and freed the guy they snatched off the streets. The situation escalated so much that riot police had to come to disperse the crowd. -> Have Ukrainians had enough of living like lobsters in a restaurant fish tank, waiting for the next one to be taken for good?

Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes Communities in multiple states could face federally mandated water cuts because the Colorado River is so low. It would affect Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico Prices for groceries will increase due to this, “Nearly half of the country's vegetables and most fruits and nuts come from California, and they rely on water from the Colorado River. So food prices could go up if they don't sort this out” Lake Mead and Lake Powell are the 2 largest reservoirs in the US and have fallen to their lowest combined storage levels on record: - Lake Powell is around 23% full - Lake Mead is around 27% full Agriculture already uses as much as 80% of the water from the Colorado river
Wars and rumors of wars... And Jesus answering, said to them: Take heed that no man seduce you: 5 For many will come in my name saying, I am Christ: and they will seduce many. 6 And you shall hear of wars and rumours of wars. See that ye be not troubled. For these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be pestilences, and famines, and earthquakes in places: 8 Now all these are the beginnings of sorrows. 9 THEN SHALL THEY DELIVER YOU UP TO BE AFFLICTED, AND SHALL PUT YOU TO DEATH: and you shall be HATED by all nations for my name's sake. 10 And then shall many be scandalized: and shall betray one another: and shall hate one another. 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall seduce many. 12 And because iniquity hath abounded, the charity of many shall grow cold. 13 But he that shall PERSEVERE to the end, he shall be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom, shall be preached …More
These natural disasters is what governments should be spending money to help others, not waste it to fight useless endless wars and internal corruption.
Today, Leo XIV welcomed the Lutheran State Bishops of Norway in audience. Referring to the fallen human condition, Leo XIV said it is “all too easy to adopt an attitude of hostility toward those with whom we disagree”. That is why he seeks – at least with Protestants – “concrete paths of reconciliation and of fraternity”. Leo XIV recalled Christ’s prayer for the unity of his disciples. Key phrase: “Grounded in our common Baptism and our shared mission in the world, I pray that we may always grow together in our service to the promotion of peace and justice.” Picture: Vatican Media, #newsVyggmwuakm
Ecumenism sounds nice, but it does not work. Much dialogue has produced hardly any converts to Catholicis, while there have been countless apostate Catholics who have become non-Catholic.
Perhaps the Superior General of the FSSPX should have declared himself a “Lutheran Bishop” from Norway, so he could have joined this delegation in Private Audience with Leo. Hmmm?
