Leo XIV-appointed, divorced Prefetessa for Media calls her appointment “bizarre”. Montserrat Alvarado, 39, is the first American, the first woman and the youngest prefect of the Vatican Dicastery for Communication, she told EWTN in an interview broadcast on October 23. She added, unprompted: “I'm annulled in the church too, so that's also bizarre.” Alvarado spoke about annulment almost as if it were a Church-sanctioned divorce: “I think more people have spoken to me about that than anything else, their desire to pursue an annulment, to consider that reunification with the church after divorce, not that you need it if you don't want to marry again, but if you do.” A bizarre remark from her: “I don't think that's why I was chosen.”
Vatican Media Prefect "Montse" admits herself: "I'm annulled in the church too, so that's also bizarre. And I think more people have spoken to me about that than anything else, their desire to pursue an annulment, to consider that reunification with the church after divorce, not that you need it if you don't want to marry again, but if you do. There's a lot of confusion around that, and I think that's, for whatever reason, I don't think that's why I was chosen, but there's providence in everything, right? All of our mistakes and all of our flaws, our Lord uses everything for good."
At a webinar earlier this week, representatives of the WHO discussed the “Fides” influencer group, which was launched in 2020 to spread content on social media platforms to oppose “anti-vax” narratives during the COVID-19 pandemic. WHO has an official partnership with TikTok to make sure this content is widely seen.
Islam is a “magnificent faith” for Italian bishops. During the presentation of 11 teaching materials for Catholic religion classes in Italian schools, Rev. Valentino Cottini, former rector of the Pontifical Institute for Arabic and Islamic Studies (PISAI), praised Islam. The presentation was attended by the presiding Italian Cardinal, Matteo Zuppi. Rev. Cottini said that the school materials provide "an objective and empathetic presentation of Islam that does not shy away from difficulties, but illustrates this magnificent faith and splendid culture". The materials were developed jointly by Christian and Muslim scholars with the backing of the Italian Bishops' Conference.
"Insomma, credo sia uscita una presentazione dell'Islam oggettiva ed empatica che non rifugge dalle difficoltà, ma illustra questa magnifica fede e questa splendida cultura nei suoi nuclei fondanti e anche in alcune delle sue più attuali forme espressive." Padre Valentino Cottini, già rettore del Pontificio Istituto di Studi Arabi e d’Islamistica (PISAI), durante la presentazione delle «Schede per conoscere l’Islam», Palazzo Borromeo, Roma, 21 ottobre 2026.
Letter from the Secretariat of State blocking entry of Traditional Pilgrims to Saint Peter’s Basilica The Lepers: Letter from the Secretariat of State blocking entry of Traditional Pilgrims to Saint Peter’s Basilica Three weeks before the Summorum Pontificum pilgrimage, which is in its 15th year and has always ended on the last Sunday in October, Father Claude Barthe, chaplain of the pilgrimage, received the denial. Diane Montagna reports (main excerpt): A letter from the Vatican Secretariat of State to the organizers of the annual Ad Petri Sedem pilgrimage, obtained by this journalist, confirms reports that the pilgrims were barred from entering St. Peter’s Basilica in procession to pray at the tomb of the Apostle. The letter, dated 30 September 2026, is signed by... Continue : >> The Lepers: Letter from the Secretariat of State …
No alternatives dates were offered to the Summorum Pontificum Mass and the previously granted permission was withdrawn. Edward Pentin reports on X.com that organisers of the annual Summorum Pontificum pilgrimage were not offered an alternative date to celebrate Mass in St Peter’s Basilica. He added that the Vatican’s August 7 letter simply stated that the basilica was unavailable, without mentioning any conflicting events. In recent days, it has been argued that the Franciscan anniversary celebrations in St Peter's basilica had been planned for years. @Michael Haynes wrote that the specific event at the Altar of the Chair was announced only in September, after the pilgrimage’s request for Mass had been refused in August. As for the prohibited procession, customary security restrictions have been cited as an excuse. Yet Haynes reports that permission to process into the Vatican had already been granted in April, only to be withdrawn the day before the pilgrimage. #newsUhvemzsmjm
After nearly 30 years of priesthood, Father David Mary Engo, founder of the Franciscan Brothers Minor, has drawn closer to the FSSPX. A decision that earned him the withdrawal of his priestly faculties by the Diocese of Knoxville, in Tennessee (United States). In this interview, he looks back on his journey, his refusal to celebrate the new Mass, and his project to develop a traditional apostolate in the region.
S.D. Wright Oct 10, 2026 ‘Positive doubt’ doesn’t mean ‘particular evidence’: More on conditional ordination and Novus Ordo priests It’s claimed that a bishop must be convinced there is positive doubt before proceeding to conditional repetition of a sacrament. This is true – but it can be significantly misunderstood. In the previous piece, we reported on the penalties inflicted on two priests – Fr Philip Conklin and Fr David Mary – for their association with the SSPX. Priests punished for associating with SSPX – PLUS A survey of SSPX views on the validity of Novus Ordo orders In light of this, we published an advance copy of the fourth and final part of our series on Archbishop Lefebvre and the reformed rites of the sacraments: Archbishop Lefebvre & Conditional Confirmations—His pastoral practice explained Archbishop Lefebvre & Conciliar Sacraments—Do they ‘come from the Church?’ Archbishop Lefebvre & Conciliar Ordinations—Practical Doubt The SSPX and Conciliar Ordinations – Survey of …More
He's right here ~ Archbp. Marcel Lefebvre ~ For it is a masterstroke of Satan to get Catholics to disobey the whole Tradition in the name of obedience.
I once brought a picture of him to my Priest to Bless. He turned his head and chuckled. But he did Bless it. Who can't see he was called by GOD and inspired by The Holy Ghost to actually do something about saving The Church, Faith and Holy Mass and the Priesthood. He was brave and determined and didn't back down. Persecuted and they lied about him. But he saw it through and didn't back down one bit.
Leo XIV will reportedly receive three years of cancer immunotherapy despite an earlier Vatican statement to the contrary. Pope Leo XIV will receive preventive immunotherapy with pembrolizumab for at least three years to reduce the risk of cancer returning, journalist Mirticeli Medeiros of GloboNews reported on October 23. He referred to sources at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital. The Pope will not undergo chemotherapy or radiotherapy. The report contradicts an official statement issued just two days earlier. On October 21, the Holy See Press Office announced that the Pope’s doctors had concluded that no further treatment was necessary following his lung cancer surgery. Surgeons removed the lower lobe of the Pope’s right lung during an operation on October 13. According to Medeiros, the tumour measured 2.5 centimetres and tested positive for PD-L1, a protein that can help cancer cells evade the immune system. Pembrolizumab works by helping the immune system recognise and attack cancer cells. The …More
‘The Sight of Hell’ by Rev. John Furniss, C.S.S.R.; 1882; Chapter XXXI; Pages 15-16; ‘Eternity’; XXXI. Eternity ~ Matt. xxv. These shall go into everlasting punishment. There is one thing which could change hell into heaven. An angel of God comes to the gates of hell and says: "Listen to me, all ye people in hell, for I bring you good news. You will still burn in hell for almost countless millions of years. But a day will come, and on that day the pains of hell will be no more! You will go out of hell." If such a message came, hell would no longer be hell. Hell would no longer be a house of blasphemy, but a house of prayer and thanksgiving and joy. But such a message will never come to hell, because God has said that the punishment of hell shall be everlasting! The Question You say what is meant by everlasting? It is both easy and difficult to answer this question. It is easy to say that the pains of hell will last for ever, and never have any and. It is difficult to answer the question …More

Poor beautiful Italy. Did the people actually vote for this? Or was it forced on them? Was there a vote? Was it fixed? I don't believe the Italian people wanted this.
