Gänswein: FSSPX "More Hardline Than Ever"; Leo XIV Should Ease Latin Mass Restrictions

On 2 July, Archbishop Georg Gänswein, the Nuncio to the Baltic States, spoke to Corriere.it about the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X and the Mass in the Roman rite. Key quotes, slightly shortened
- The FSSPX has become even more hardline. It's unbelievable - truly sad.
- Their understanding of tradition is not tradition. They freeze Catholic tradition at Pius XII. After that, they see nothing but errors.
- Benedict XVI lifted the excommunications of the four bishops as a father seeking peace. It was an outstretched hand they refused. The radical faction prevailed—they rejected reconciliation then and still do.
- They are like the Protestants of five centuries ago. Cardinal Müller is right.
- I am very disappointed. Grace can do anything over time, but for now I see even greater distance and deeper hardening than before.
"Leo XIV Should Allow the Traditional Roman Mass"
- There are faithful who celebrate the Latin rite—for example, the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter—and they do …More

The Priest Who Swapped His Life For 70 Hostages 🇻🇳 | SG News
A historic milestone for the global Church! 🇻🇳 On July 2, 2026, thousands of faithful gathered at the Tắc Sậy pilgrimage center in Cà Mau Province for Vietnam’s first-ever beatification ceremony. Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle presided over the Holy Mass, joined by cardinals, bishops, and 2,000 priests from across Southeast Asia. The Ultimate Sacrifice In March 1946, during the aftermath of World War II, Japanese militiamen captured Fr. Diep and 70 of his parishioners. In a profound act of Christ-like love, Fr. Diep offered his life in exchange for his flock. The militia agreed. The 70 parishioners walked free, and Fr. Diep was brutally martyred. Eighty years later, the priest who gave everything for his people has been officially raised to the altars as "Blessed." His burial site at Tắc Sậy already draws hundreds of thousands of pilgrims annually, and his legacy of love continues to burn bright. 💬 Blessed Francis Xavier Truong …More

Trương Bửu Diệp - Wikipedia
Francis Xavier Truong Buu Diep (Vietnamese: Phanxicô Xaviê Trương Bửu Diệp; 1 January 1897 – 12 March 1946) was a Vietnamese Catholic priest who served the people of Bạc Liêu Province and was killed for the faith. Diệp was beatified in the Catholic Church on 2 July 2026 by Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle on behalf of Pope Leo XIV at Tắc Sậy Church in Cà Mau.

Anyone here the song John-Henry Weston wrote yet?

The Vatican declared excommunications. The bishops were consecrated anyway. And more than 16,000 faithful knelt in a thunderstorm and prayed the Rosary.
John-Henry Westen reflects on his week in Écône, Switzerland, covering the SSPX consecrations. He witnessed the beauty of the traditional liturgy, the sacrifice and joy of the Society's clergy, and the unwavering faith of pilgrims who traveled from across the world. The storm did not scatter them. It united them. It was, he says, a demonstration of vibrant Catholic life—centered on tradition, reverence, and fidelity to Christ.
But the experience raised deeper questions. How can Rome demand obedience from the SSPX while promoting blessings for same-sex couples, redefining the death penalty, and opening Holy Communion to the divorced and remarried? Westen argues that the Church is in a prolonged doctrinal crisis—one that has created a state of emergency justifying extraordinary measures.

The REAL Schismatics. The stages and events. How to recognise them and the harm they cause.

1) Any doctrine that does not originate in the Holy Scriptures and which claims to proclaim the Truth is a lie.
a) Saint John 7:18 “He who speaks on his own authority seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the Glory of the One who sent him is true, and there is no unrighteousness in him.”
b) The FAITHFUL Church will suffer and be persecuted for protecting the Holy Gospel (Bishop Strickland); on the other hand, the schismatics are attempting to reinvent the Church of Jesus, modernise His teachings and introduce obscene laws into the Church (Fiducia suplicans, Pachamama: Cardinal Fernández, Pope Francis and Pope Leo XIV).
2) Edson Glauber of Brazil received specific dates for events from the Blessed Mother of God:
a) During the seven years from 2005 to 2012: there will be fierce attacks against the Supreme Pontiff. (Benedict XVI resigned in February 2013).

The recent excommunications of even the faithful who “formally adhere” to the SSPX are cruel and unnecessary — of course — but they are also a perfect reflection of what Rome actually believes. In other words, this is not the result of the simple failings of human nature to which we are all subject: this is the plan for the Synodal Church, which is designed to exclude those who insist on adhering to the immutable Catholic Faith. Thanks be to God for this clarifying moment afforded by the unjust punishments!
This fundamental reality of Rome’s opposition to the immutable Catholic Faith is now more evident than ever to the entire world, but it has been clear to the SSPX for decades. In this light, the SSPX’s “Apostolic Mandate” for the episcopal consecrations appears not only appropriate but entirely necessary:
“It is the Catholic and Roman Church, always faithful to the holy traditions received from the Apostles, who, in entirely exceptional circumstances, demands that we provide for the …More

Thanks Be to God: Why the SSPX Excommunications Bring New Clarity - The Remnant Newspaper

The headlines are about excommunications. Here's what those excommunications reveal. Robert Morrison argues that the Vatican's unprecedented treatment of the SSPX has unintentionally stripped away decades of ambiguity, exposing a Church that preaches "radical inclusion" while excluding those who refuse to abandon the immutable Catholic Faith. Far more than a reaction to episcopal consecrations, he contends, this is a defining moment of clarity for Catholics everywhere. “If we come to be declared excommunicated and schismatic, this would not mean that we seek such a sanction or rejoice in it, for it would be objectively unjust. It is one thing to rejoice in receiving a new humiliation to offer to God, and it is quite another to rejoice (in a spirit of defiance) in an evil and an objective injustice that causes scandal to the whole Church. Caritas non gaudet super iniquitatem — ‘charity rejoiceth not in iniquity.’” (Fr. Davide Pagliarani, March 7, 2026) Long before Cardinal Víctor Manuel …

Thus says the LORD: On that day I will raise up the fallen hut of David; I will wall up its breaches, raise up its ruins, and rebuild it as in the days of old,
That they may conquer what is left of Edom and all the nations that shall bear my name, say I, the LORD, who will do this.
Yes, days are coming, says the LORD, When the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the vintager, him who sows the seed; The juice of grapes shall drip down the mountains, and all the hills shall run with it.
I will bring about the restoration of my people Israel; they shall rebuild and inhabit their ruined cities, Plant vineyards and drink the wine, set out gardens and eat the fruits.
I will plant them upon their own ground; never again shall they be plucked From the land I have given them, say I, the LORD, your God.

EVERY CATHOLIC IS CALLED TO DEFEND THE FAITH
"Always Be Ready to Give an Answer." (1 Peter 3:15)
Introduction
In a world where the Catholic faith is often misunderstood, misrepresented, or even attacked, many Catholics wonder:
"Should I defend my faith?"
The answer is yes—not because we seek arguments, but because we love the Truth.
To defend the Catholic faith is not to be quarrelsome or arrogant. It is an act of love for God, His Church, and for souls seeking the truth.
Every baptized Catholic has both the right and the responsibility to know, live, and defend the faith that Christ entrusted to His Church.
As St. Paul reminds us:
"Put on the whole armor of God..." (Ephesians 6:10–18)
And again:
"We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ." (2 Corinthians 10:5)
These passages are not a call to physical warfare, but to a spiritual battle—fought with truth, charity, prayer, and holiness.

The Dangerous Price Of Loving Sin
The gospel reading highlights the tragic choice people make to reject Jesus, preferring their sins and the devil’s offerings. This rejection is evident in society’s acceptance of sin and the need for a genuine commitment to God’s will.

Centrist Tricks Favoring the Left

– Folha de S. Paulo, July 2, 1969 –
by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira
A radical and cunning leftward-moving centrism is the left’s best “cheering squad.”
If Our Lord Jesus Christ appeared visibly in Brazil, our center-left critics would accuse Him of agitation.
They would naturally try to portray the Man-God using the Institutional Act and the National Security Law based on their own interpretation.
I came to this conclusion after considering two common and clearly center-left objections I’ve heard against the TFP’s most recent campaign.
Before analyzing these objections, I want to briefly point out a common contradiction among most of those who raise them. They are notably hostile to the Institutional Act and the National Security Law, arguing that by limiting the freedom of thought of communists, these laws inherently violate human freedom in its most fundamental form.
Yet, they conveniently ignore the liberal principles they claim to uphold when it comes to the TFP, and no legal restrictions …More

Holy See rules SSPX bishops excommunicated, strips faculties for two sacraments

VATICAN CITY (PerMariam) — Following the Society of Saint Pius X’s consecration of four new bishops, the Holy See has declared all six of the Society’s bishops are now excommunicated, and further warned of heavy penalties for the clergy and faithful attached to the Society. Following through with its prior warnings from May 13 and from June 30, the Vatican has now announced that the penalty of latae sententiae excommunication has been incurred by all six SSPX bishops: Alfonso de Galarreta and Bernard Fellay, Pascal Schreiber, Michael Goldade, Michel Poinsinet de Sivry, Marc Hanappier. The first two were consecrator and co-consecrator at the July 1 ceremony, while the other four were those in receipt of the order of bishop. All six SSPX bishops, July 1, 2026 The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith’s Decree cites the reasons as being “episcopal consecration of four presbyters, without a papal mandate and against the will of the Supreme Pontiff,” and then for Bp.
