Tibetan Rituals in a U.S. Church. Worse than Germany: On Monday, more than 60 Tibetans gathered at Most Holy Redeemer Church in Hadley, Massachusetts, to celebrate the Dalai Lama's 91st birthday and mark the conclusion of the "Year of Compassion," an initiative of the Central Tibetan Administration. The event opened with a ritual in which participants chanted "Om" three times and tossed tsampa (barley flour) into the air. Attendees also made mandala offerings by bowing and placing a white ceremonial scarf before a photo of the Dalai Lama. The celebration continued with speeches, traditional Tibetan songs and dances, and performances by students from a local Tibetan Sunday school.

On July 6, Cardinal Müller spoke with K-TV about the Traditional Latin Mass and the FSSPX episcopal consecrations. Key statements: - "The implementation of the liturgical reform was marked by many abuses because many failed to grasp the spirit of the renewed liturgy and neglected its essential elements: the worship of God, the communication of salvation, and reverence before God." - "The so-called old rite is not forbidden. Rather, it is permitted to a certain extent and under certain conditions, and it is, of course, valid." - "Pope Benedict XVI made the wise decision that the same Latin liturgy could be celebrated in both its ordinary and extraordinary forms." - "The faithful always have the opportunity to attend the Holy Mass celebrated according to the older form." - "Many people may have sympathies for the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X because they believe that the Catholic faith and the liturgy are being preserved there against many of the abuses found in modernist circles.…More

– Folha de S. Paulo, December 11, 1981 – by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira The TFPs in 13 countries of the New and Old Worlds have just published a Message to their respective nations on the topic of French self managing socialism. Appearing on the 9th of this month in the Washington Post and in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, the document was also scheduled for publication by the great newspapers of our country and others. I am writing on the 10th. As of this moment, those two initial publications have provoked a host of requests for television, radio and newspaper interviews in the most diverse countries. This makes one see the great degree of interest that the topic stirs up. I still do know any commentaries on the content of the Message in the foreign press. All I have are those of some Brazilian newspapers. The Brazilian TFP will publish the whole text of the Message, of which I am the author, as a paid advertisement in the Folha de São Paulo on the 17th of this month. Until then …More
Pope Leo XIV just appointed a German bishop who supported same-sex blessings, gender ideology, and LGBT initiatives. The same Vatican that celebrated that appointment has now imposed canonical sanctions on the Society of Saint Pius X, sanctions that require a more demanding process for lifting than the procedure for Catholics who have procured an abortion. The comparison is stark. The priorities are exposed. The inconsistencies that have left traditional Catholics reeling are now being seen. John-Henry Westen also investigates a widely circulated letter attributed to Bishop Fulton Sheen criticizing the SSPX. While the letter may be genuine, the host argues it likely does not reflect Sheen's own thinking, citing historical inaccuracies, Sheen's declining health, and the possibility that staff drafted much of his correspondence. The Vatican's treatment of the SSPX is not about discipline. It is about eliminating the Traditional Latin Mass and the communities that preserve it. The episcopal …More
Personally, I don't think Bishop Sheen wrote the letter. It doesn't sound like Bishop Sheen at all. This is someone's opinion. And it seems like they had something against the SSPX. Maybe someone who was part of the novus ordo mess or preferred it to the Latin Mass. But I don't believe Bishop Sheen had anything to do with writing it.

Defending Faith And Country Before It's Too Late Fr. Altier reflects on the 250th anniversary of the United States, highlighting the positive experiences of international visitors who were surprised by the kindness and patriotism of Americans. He emphasizes the importance of recognizing the country’s strengths, despite its flaws, and the deep meaning behind the American flag, which represents values worth fighting for. He also warns against the destructive influence of communism and the need to preserve the hope and opportunity that America embodies. The importance of both the American flag and the crucifix is emphasized, urging us to reflect on our faith and patriotism. The need to stand up for both the country and God is highlighted, especially as the church faces challenges and attempts to undermine its teachings. We are encouraged to examine our faith, seek inspiration from converts, and prepare spiritually for potential challenges. Fr. Altier is a Priest at Holy Trinity Parish in …More
What is deeply tragic is the case of priests unfaithful to Christ who prefer to remain in a cage—in full communion with the apostate Prevost and the homosexual Tucho, who defies God and the Church—while deluding themselves into believing they will be saved simply because they are united with an apostate masquerading as Pope.
Tommy Robinson @TRobinsonNewEra There are 1.5m households in the UK on waiting lists for a home. 382,000 Brits without a home at all. 83 people are to about to move into these £250k newly built homes in Stoke Heath, near Market Drayton. Can you guess who? The question is rhetorical, of course they've been handed to "asylum seekers".
Novus Ordo with Flatbread while Sitting on the Floor: On July 1, two priests of the Diocese of Gurk-Klagenfurt, Austria, celebrated their 30th anniversary of ordination at the Europagymnasium in Klagenfurt.

Worse than Germany: Archbishop Erio Castellucci of Modena-Nonantola has proposed a form of liturgical "co-presidency" in which women would lead the Liturgy of the Word while priests would preside over the Eucharistic consecration. The proposal appears in a speech published on May 24 in the diocesan bulletin, delivered at a conference organized by the Centro Italiano Femminile in Carpi. Monsignor Castellucci is the vice President of the Italian bishops and President of the National Committee for the Italian Synod. He suggested that women could take responsibility for the first part of the Eucharist, proclaiming the Resurrection "as Mary Magdalene did to the apostles." This would sidestep "the impasse" over women's ordination while still respecting Church teaching that only a priest can consecrate. Archbishop Castellucci also called for expanding shared governance in the Church, proposing that consultative councils' recommendations be made binding after a process of "consensus-building,"…More
– Folha de S. Paulo, August 7, 1968 – by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira “Aggiornamento” and “encounter with history” are expressions we run into all the time, but whose concept remains obscure more often than not. However, one core idea is always clear within this obscurity: being “up to date.” A self-respecting “up-to-date” person thinks they know present-day reality and are in sync with it. The “encounter with history” is an encounter with the present, particularly what the present offers that is different and contradictory to the past. For the fanatics of “aggiornamento” and “encounter with history,” the word “tradition” gets a bad rap. For conscious or unconscious evolutionists, nature has no fixed and immutable elements, nor does the natural order rest on perennial principles. The present’s position concerning the past is not one of dynamic and improving continuity, but complete negation, all-encompassing rupture, and integral and renewing demolition. So, it is understandable that for …More
