Canada Day is a statutory holiday to mark the anniversary of the Canadian Confederation which occurred on July 1, 1867. So on July 1 it's Canada's birthday. For the occasion, Toronto's Cardinal Frank Leo has released a good message. He rightly reflects on the meaning of being human, of freedom and truth. What kind of nation are we building? What are we celebrating? Here's what he says: My Dear Brothers and Sisters, May Jesus and Mary be in your hearts. In the coming days we will celebrate Canada Day, a time when we rightly commemorate what Canada is: a land of peace, opportunity, and security. Gratitude matters, and it is important to recognize our blessings and give thanks. Yet this year, I would invite the faithful of the Archdiocese of Toronto to consider a deeper, more searching question undergirding our celebrations: “Who are we becoming?” not only as individuals, but as a nation. Many of the tensions we experience today—our debates, divisions, polarization and uncertainties—…
Cardinal Raymond Burke argued that ‘ordaining bishops without a papal mandate will incur’ an automatic ‘excommunication, and that will have to be published by the Holy See.’
VATICAN CITY (PerMariam) — Cardinal Raymond Burke has given his assessment of the recent Extraordinary Consistory along with the upcoming episcopal consecrations of the Society of Saint Pius X, noting some remaining concerns about the consistory format, while lamenting the planed consecrations. Speaking with Per Mariam following the recent consistory, Cdl. Burke offered a summary of the event which drew just under 180 cardinals to Rome for the second such meeting of Leo XIV’s pontificate. As many have similarly done, Burke welcomed the return of consistory’s to the Vatican’s regular life, since it offers a chance to “discuss important questions with regard to the Church.” But he also raised his concerns about the small table “synodal” group method which has largely replaced the traditional open discussion. As for synodality itself, on which the cardinals were briefed during Saturday’s meeting, the American prelate said that it “remains unresolved.” “There really needs to be a …

Cardinal Fabio Baggio, currently Under-Secretary of the Dicastery, has been appointed Pro-Prefect, with special responsibility for the Laudato si’ Higher Education Center. Monsignor Jozef Barlaš, currently Under-Secretary of the Dicastery, has been appointed Secretary of the Dicastery. The Personification of the Francis Agenda Sister Smerilli is a Francis-era appointee through and through. She uses all the Francis buzzwords new economy, integral ecology, climate justice, migrants, social justice, “Economy of Francesco”. Francis named her interim secretary of the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development in 2021, making her the highest ranking woman in the Roman Curia at the time. Before, she was in charge of the Vatican's COVID-19 economic recovery commission. "Change Rules That Only Priests Can Do Certain Things" …More
This is the full text of the letter sent by Pope Leo to the Superior General of the Society of Saint Pius X on the eve on the episcopal consecrations. To The Reverend 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. The Church recognizes the devotion to liturgical life, commitment to priestly formation, apostolic zeal and desire for fidelity to Tradition that characterize many people and communities connected to your Fraternity. This has motivated the attentive and generous attitude that my Predecessors have consistently shown to you. In this spirit, and filled with Christian affection, I plead with you and ask you with all my heart: please turn back! I urge you to consider carefully the spiritual good of …
The "disarming of language" applies to the faithful readers of *Magnifica Humanitas*, while Leo's "fatherly heart" arms itself with threats. He intends to withhold heavenly graces from the faithful of the FSSPX ("invalid sacraments"). Yet he could bypass excommunication, just as he did with the heretical, communist-appointed bishops of the Chinese National Church—a body that does not even acknowledge the papacy in principle. Alternatively, he could acknowledge canon law in its ENTIRETY: no penalty applies in cases of apprehended necessity (Canon 1323, No. 7 CIC).
Tue Jun 30, 2026 - 5:16 am EDT VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) — Pope Leo has made a public appeal to the head of the traditionalist Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) not to carry out the episcopal consecrations planned for tomorrow, July 1. This morning, June 30, Pope Leo released a letter to Father Davide Pagliarani, the current head of the SSPX, his bishops, priests and seminarians, as well as the lay faithful “connected” to the Society, warning that the consecrations would be a “schismatic act.” [Full letter printed below.] “I plead with you and ask you with all my heart: please turn back!” the Pontiff wrote. “I urge you to consider carefully the spiritual good of the faithful, because the schismatic act you are about to undertake would deprive them of the licit and, in some cases, even valid reception of the Sacraments, which they love and seek for their sanctification.” LETTER OF POPE LEO XIV TO THE REVEREND DAVIDE PAGLIARANI SUPERIOR GENERAL OF THE PRIESTLY FRATERNITY OF SAINT PIUS X …
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.

Prevost tore the union with Christ by persisting in Bergoglios errors, by promoting sodomy, universalism, masonry, paganism, by bowing down to the idols...and now HE pretends to beg for union. Gaslighting at the highest level! But guess what? It works, especially on poor seduced bishops and cardinals! God help them!

Run of Saint Andrew: Amalfi's Centuries-Old Tradition. The spectacular 'Run of Saint Andrew' in Amalfi, Italy, is part of a centuries-old celebration honoring Saint Andrew, the city's patron saint. According to local tradition, on 27 June 1544, as the fleet of the Ottoman corsair Khayr al-Din Barbarossa threatened Amalfi, the townspeople prayed for Saint Andrew's intercession. A violent storm scattered the enemy ships, and the city was spared. Each year on 27 June, bearers carry the silver reliquary bust of Saint Andrew at a run up the 62 steps of Amalfi Cathedral, commemorating this traditional account of the city's deliverance.
La spettacolare "Corsa di Sant'Andrea": cinque secoli di fede e tradizione: Secondo la tradizione, il 27 giugno 1544, mentre la flotta del celebre corsaro ottomano Khayr ad-Din Barbarossa minacciava Amalfi, gli abitanti implorarono l'intercessione di Sant'Andrea.

Cardinal Raymond Burke criticized at the consistory the pro-homosexual Final Report of the Synod’s Study Group No. 9. AdVaticanum.com reports (June 29) that he focused on its call to privilege the "experiences" of homosexuals. Cardinal Burke described the report as manifesting “the very grave difficulty with the current direction and functioning of the Synod” and stressed that it carries weight as official synodal material. He added that, by invoking a “paradigm shift,” the report takes a path divergent from the Church’s perennial moral teaching on the homosexual condition and corresponding acts. Furthermore, the Cardinal defended the Courage apostolate supporting chastity. He criticized the report for slandering such efforts and validating agendas “in open opposition to the traditional moral doctrine of the Church.” He concluded by invoking St John Paul II’s Veritatis Splendor in defence of immutable moral norms. #newsNxgddvhpmu
30.06.2026 Cardinal Ratzinger did not tell Lefebvre and Feeney that VC 2 was traditional when the orthodox blue passages were not contradicted by the hypothetical red passages. Pope Leo and cardinals Fernandez, Muller and Ladaria maintain the secret today Cardinal Ratzinger kept it a secret. He did not tell Archbishop Lefebvre or Fr. Leonard Feeney in 1965 that Ad Gentes 7 (placed in CCC 846-outside the Church no salvation) was aligned with the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus (EENS) of the Council of Florence 1442 (which did not mention any exceptions).Meanwhile LG 8, 14, 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc in Vatican Council II were not practical exceptions for EENS or AG 7. The Council was ecclesiocentric and traditional. Instead, Ratzinger allowed Feeney to remain excommunicated and he excommunicated Lefebvre and the SSPX bishops, including Fellay and Galaratta. Pope Leo and Cardinals Muller and Fernandez keep this information a secret. They prepare a second excommunication of the SSPX based …More
