MOTHER TERESA COMMUNITY PRIEST EXPELLED FROM ROME BY THE POLICE : MY STATEMENT ON VATICAN COUNCIL II AN ISSUE.
Father Stephen Yaw Manu, the Superior of the Missionaries of Charity Contemplative Brothers of Mother Teresa, Largo Prenestina, Rome has been expelled because on August 15, this year, during the Prayers of the Faithful, at the Italian Mass, I remarked, that the Catholic Church teaches that outside the Church there is no salvation. This is the teaching of Vatican Council II etc.
Fr. Stephen did not know about this.
He is the Superior at Casa Serena, a Home for the Aged, where there are some 50 residents.
Outside the Catholic Church there is no salvation, I said, is the teaching of Vatican Council II. I know that this is also the teaching of the Church at the Mass Readings, from the Bible (John 3:5, Mark 16:16 etc).The Mass was a Catholic religious event.
Fr. Stephen m.c a hardworking priest from Ghana, has been asked to leave Rome by the secular authorities and this …More

Leo XIV’s Argentina Visit to Carry Forward Francis’s Legacy

Argentine newspaper La Nación reports that Pope Leo XIV’s planned visit to Argentina is shaping up as a strong continuation of Pope Francis’s pastoral priorities and style, with a particular emphasis on the poor, workers, prisoners and marginalized communities.
The likely agenda includes a meeting with grassroots and social movements, a visit to Villa Devoto prison, and a large gathering with young people at San Lorenzo’s football stadium in Buenos Aires.
All three have strong symbolic connections to Francis.
As Archbishop Jorge Bergoglio, Francis maintained close relationships with poor neighborhoods, prisoners and grassroots movements. San Lorenzo was also famously his football club. The stadium is located near the Padre Ricciardelli neighborhood, where Bergoglio frequently carried out pastoral work.
According to the provisional schedule, Leo XIV would arrive in Buenos Aires from Uruguay on Sunday, November 8, spend several days in Argentina, potentially travel to Córdoba on November …More

VaticanNews.va has profiled Anna Medeossi, the first woman to serve as rector of a Catholic shrine. The Italian architect and consecrated virgin has served for nearly a year as rector of the Shrine of Notre-Dame de Santa Cruz in Oran, Algeria. She initially became involved with the shrine as an architect, working on its renovation. The shrine is visited primarily by Muslims.

First woman rector of a shrine: Witnessing to the Gospel through listening

[vaticannews] At the Rimini Meeting, we spoke with Anna Medeossi, who has been entrusted with the care of Notre-Dame de Santa Cruz in Oran, Algeria, about her story of encounter, faith, and listening.
By Eugenio Murrali and Andrea Tornielli - Rimini
Anna Medeossi has a lively and determined gaze, gentleness in her voice and gestures, and a wisdom that is both humble and profound.
An architect originally from the Italian city of Gorizia, she might never have imagined what life would call her to do nearly a year ago: become the first woman in the world to serve as rector of a shrine.
That distinction takes on even greater significance because of where the shrine is located: Notre-Dame de Santa Cruz in Oran, Algeria, an overwhelmingly Muslim country.
Images of the shrine she oversees were seen around the world on the occasion of the beatification of the Martyrs of Algeria.
From architecture to caring for the shrine
Her arrival at Santa Cruz—where she now also lives as a consecrated virgin …More

Mother of Mercy Chapel in Columbus, Ohio, was already a beautiful Romanesque-style church, but later 20th-century alterations had diminished the coherence of its sanctuary. In 2025, William Heyer Architect replaced the small modern forward altar with a hand-carved wooden freestanding altar better suited to the character of the historic interior. The main intervention was the expansion of Rudolph Scheffler’s 1950s Christ the King apse mural. New saints and sacred symbols now occupy previously bare areas around the original composition.

Liturgical Arts Journal: Before and After: Mother of Mercy Chapel at St. Charles Preparatory School in Columbus, Ohio

Home » Architecture , Painting » Before and After: Mother of Mercy Chapel at St. Charles Preparatory School in Columbus, Ohio The firm of William Heyer Architect is located in Columbus, Ohio and in 2025 they were involved in a beautification project at the (already quite beautiful) Mother of Mercy Chapel located at the St. Charles Preparatory School in Columbus, Ohio. The chapel was already built around the substantial architectural bones of a Romanesque style architecture, with stone walls, columns with decorative capitals, an open-trussed timber ceiling, and an impressive apse featuring and image of Christ the King enthroned. Let's jump right into things with the 'before.' BEFORE Many of our 'before and afters' feature a parish that had either been stripped of its liturgical appointments and ornaments at some point, or some which never had them in the first place. In this instance, while we can certainly see some evidence of the later twentieth century modifications, the chapel …

"Citizens Want Political Turnaround": AfD Now …

‼️👉 AfD liegt in ganz Ostdeutschland bei 43 Prozent
"Bürger fordern politischen Wandel nach Jahren gescheiterter progressiver Experimente, die eine Masseneinwanderung aus der Dritten Welt und eine die Nation schädigende Deindustrialisierung begünstigt hätten. AfD-Co-Chefin Alice Weidel schrieb auf "X": „Laut aktueller Forsa-Umfrage liegt die AfD im gesamten Osten bei 43 Prozent, die CDU nur noch bei 13 Prozent. Die Bürger wollen die politische Wende!“
❗Die zentrale Aussage der Umfrage: Die AfD liegt mehr als dreimal so hoch wie die unionsgeführte CDU/CSU und höher als CDU/CSU, SPD und Grüne zusammen. (...)

"Citizens Want Political Turnaround": AfD Now Polls At 43% Across Eastern Germany

Building on Nomura analyst Andrzej Szczepaniak's note from earlier this week, which forecasts that right-wing parties are positioned to make electoral gains across Germany, France, Spain, Switzerland, and the UK over the next 18 months, new polling data from Germany further suggest that Alternative for Germany (AfD) is performing exceptionally well as citizens demand political change after years of failed progressive experiments that encouraged a Third World migrant invasion and nation-killing deindustrialization trends. AfD co-leader Alice Weidel cited new polling data on X from a Forsa survey showing that, if a federal election were held now, eastern German voters would choose: AfD: 43% The Left: 16% CDU/CSU: 13% Greens: 9% SPD: 9% FDP: 3% Other parties: 7% Weidel said, "According to a recent Forsa survey, the AfD is at 43% across the entire East, while the CDU is down to just 13%. The citizens want the political turnaround!" The key takeaway from the new survey is that the AfD …

10 or more underground bishops secretly consecrated since Vatican-China deal

Chinese Underground Church Consecrated 10 Bishops without Papal Mandate

After the 2018 Sino-Vatican agreement “terrible things happen to Catholics” in the Fujian province, an anonymous Chinese bishop who is unaffiliated with the Chinese state church ‘Patriotic Association’, told Anthony Clark for CatholicWorldReport.com on August 23.
The bishop speaks of a “state of emergency”.
As government influence over the bishops increases, “the integrity of the Catholic faith will suffer.” To “assure the survival of China’s Church,” new bishops have been “secretly consecrated.”
The bishop says the faithful question Rome’s genuine concern for their “spiritual well-being” when the Holy See approves government-selected bishops whom they regard as too reliable to the state.
The number is unknown, but he suggested that “at least ten new bishops” were consecrated for the underground community in the Fujian province.

Contemporary Dance Integrated into Assumption Liturgy in Mallorca

Worse than Germany: A contemporary dance and sound performance was incorporated into the celebration of the Solemnity of the Assumption at the Church of Sant Joan Baptista in Muro, Mallorca. It was entitled El Vol Màgic (“The Magic Flight”).
According to the Diocese of Mallorca, the work was “conceived specifically for the liturgical context of the celebration of the Assumption of the Mother of God.”
The project was directed by a musician and developed together with a dancer and choreographer, an organist, and a sound specialist.
According to the diocesan description, the project grew out of research into Mallorca’s traditional observances surrounding the Assumption and sought to explore the relationship between “sound, body, space and ritual.”

War Against the Ancient Mass Is Destructive for the Church - Cardinal Sarah

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

The Broken Statue

by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira
– Folha de S. Paulo, May 29, 1978 –
This is the fact in its brutality: Brazil has venerated Our Lady as its special patroness for more than two centuries, and this veneration is directed to her under the invocation of the Immaculate Conception of Aparecida.
Our Lady Aparecida!
This exclamation often comes to mind for Brazilians, especially on important occasions. It may be the cry of an afflicted soul addressing God through the intercession of the Mediatrix, who refuses nothing to men and to whom God, in turn, refuses nothing. It may also be the exclamation of a soul unable to contain its joy, pouring out its gratitude at the feet of the Mother, from whom all benefits come to us.
The story of the small, dark terracotta image, with its large blue mantle on which precious stones shine and the Queen of Brazil’s crown on her forehead, would fill books. If conceived as I would imagine them, these books should contain not only the distinguished historical facts …More

SAUDI and its allies led the genocide in Yemen.
Learn some facts, and stop blaming Ansar’Allah! The death toll of the US-UK-Saudi-Emirati war on Yemen is estimated to be at least 377,000 individuals, as of the end of 2021.
-More than two-thirds of these Yemenis killed were likely children.
-These statistics come from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), which reported in November that the number of deaths by direct and indirect causes in Yemen was projected to surpass 377,000 by the end of 2021.
-President Joe Biden claimed during his presidential campaign that he would end the war. In February 2021, the president announced that the United States would end support for “offensive” Saudi operations in Yemen – although by their very nature, all Saudi operations in Yemen are offensive, because the wealthy monarchy initiated the war by bombing its neighbor, the poorest country in West Asia.

Purity

"Free from all uncleanness, perfect and altogether without spot."
— Denis (Pseudo-Dionysius), On the Divine Names, Chapter 12
"In these words three degrees of cleanness are described which are requisite for sanctity. And the first is the freedom from all uncleanness. Now freedom is the opposite of slavery. But the slave of uncleanness is he who is completely conquered by uncleanness and subject to it. The first grade of purity then is that one should be delivered from the slavery of impurity. Now the second degree is that the purity should be perfect, for the perfect is that to which nothing is lacking. It happens at times that one is not subject to uncleanness, but there is wanting to him something of purity, in so far as he is troubled by passions of uncleanness; and when these are taken away there is perfect purity. The third degree of purity is that one should be altogether without spot. For that is said to be spotted which is not stained by anything intrinsic, but by something …More
