Leo XIV Accepts an American Establishment Award

While previous popes usually avoided accepting secular awards, Leo XIV today received the 2026 Liberty Medal from the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia.
The Centre said it was honouring the Pope for his support of religious liberty, freedom of conscience and human dignity — all of which are ideological frameworks that are not specifically Catholic.
The National Constitution Center describes itself as a nonpartisan institution dedicated to constitutional education. In practice, it is a prominent institution within the U.S. civic establishment, regularly hosting former presidents, senior government officials, judges, military leaders, and foreign-policy figures.
In a video address from the Vatican, Leo XIV praised the United States for having “opened its own doors to successive waves of immigrants, enabling them and their children to contribute to shaping the nation's future.”

Nothing to but kill with the conscience of so much evil in their minds, including the killing of more than 2000 Americans on 9/11. The conscience that all they are and believed in is a hoax.

Michi Gini shares this

"Gaza è un disastro. Le città sono state rase al suolo, livellate, spazzate via. Rafah non esiste più. Quello che mi colpisce di più è viaggiare su strade improvvisate, tra tende e fognature. Ecco dove vive la gente di Gaza".

Superior General of the FSSPX to Leo XIV following the excommunications: “these condemnations compel us to love the Holy Church even more and to meet its needs with all our strength, now more than ever. For this very reason, the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X voluntarily offers the suffering caused by these new sanctions for the good of the universal Church and of His Holiness”

This is what true Catholic combat looks like SSPX is a counter Winnipeg Statement of 1968. SSPX conscience is informed by traditional catholic teaching of the ages . Where's SSPX religious freedom to follow their conscience ?
Humanae vitae battle you used follow your conscience what about SSPX conscience???? Error has no rights we are not free to choose .Now who is in error?

I ask the same question. No one can answer or prove it. RT has vehemently condemned the restrictions and rejected the EU’s accusations, stressing that the bloc has consistently failed to point to a “a single example, a single grain of evidence” of false reporting.

EU court backs criminal prosecution for sharing RT videos

Private individuals can face criminal prosecution and even prison for sharing the broadcaster’s content online, according to a new ruling The EU’s top court has ruled that private individuals can face criminal prosecution for posting RT videos on public websites, widening the bloc’s crackdown on Russian media. The Court of Justice of the European Union issued the ruling on Thursday in a case from Germany, where three people are being prosecuted for publishing RT DE videos on a freely accessible website. The site did not charge readers and was financed only through voluntary donations. The CJEU, however, said that made no difference and ruled that all persons who are “directly or indirectly” responsible for making banned content available to the public can be treated as “operators” under EU sanctions rules. The judges argued it was irrelevant if the individuals were running a business, how long the content was available, or how widely it was spread. Under the German law cited in the …

That's why RT is blocked by these people. They fear the people will get the truth. They call it Russian propaganda or fake news. When it's they who write propaganda and who write fake news pieces. They can't show proof. Because there is none. Just ask any propagandist and they won't be able to show you one time. They will just repeat, fake news, Russian propaganda. Just like how the EU spread that Russia caused 10 wars. When asked to show proof. they have none to show. Just like Georgia they accused Russia of starting, which was debunked over and over and over again. RT is famous for telling the truth and revealing what others suppress and delete. They are more famous than several fake news outlets combined!

Heretics REALLY can't excommunicate: More clarifications in light of SSPX excommunications

Some clarifications about a principle which seems 'too good to be true' – but is true, nonetheless.

Some clarifications about a principle which seems ‘too good to be true’ – but is true, nonetheless.
Introduction
On the 30th June, the day before the SSPX’s episcopal consecrations, I published an explanation of why heretics are unable to excommunicate – along with a translation of Causa XXIV, Quest. I, from Gratian’s Decretum, which deals with this topic.
Some of the texts which state this are as follows:
C. IV. [Audivimus] An excommunicated person cannot excommunicate another.
[Pope Alexander II writing to Bishop Valerius the Martyr]
We have heard that Henry, called Archbishop of Ravenna, has attempted to excommunicate you. But since, being excommunicated, he could not excommunicate you …More

FSSPX Responds: Excommunications "Unjust and Invalid"

Today, Don Davide Pagliarani, Superior of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX), responded to the 2 July decree of excommunication. It "once again highlights the deeply tragic situation facing the universal Church."
He claims that the FSSPX's actions are motivated solely by the desire to save souls and insists that the Fraternity does not seek to replace the Church, but to remain faithful to her.
Using the biblical imagery of asking for bread, fish, and an egg (cf. Luke 11:11–13), he says the Fraternity's requests were met with rejection, symbolised by receiving a stone, serpent, and scorpion.
According to Pagliarani, the FSSPX had asked to be instructed and confirmed in "the faith of all time", yet was instead declared schismatic for a second time.
His central statement is this: "The FSSPX promises You today that it will not receive these new sanctions - objectively unjust and invalid - with bitterness or revolt."
Don Pagliarani concludes by expressing confidence that one …More

Rome and the pope represent the New Church which is a Synodal Church. This is a contradiction to the true Church as founded by Apostolic tradition. Synodalism started by Bergoglio and being implemented by Prevost is NOT the Catholic Church therefore any order ie SSPX which adheres to the true Church cannot be excommunicated by this group.

All those lukewarm Catholics better start choosing whom they serve.

No response has yet come from the Society, and it appears that they were not informed of the Decree and Note prior to learning about the texts from members of the press.

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. Fellay as having …

That what I say to a Judge Law is evolving there for that speeding ticket should be thrown out .
Cat muse Zealous adherence to salvation of souls ?

CatMuse

Canon law is an evolving aspect of Church life. New situations not envisaged at the time of definition are not always well served by it. Unlike Catholic dogmatic teachings and the natural law, it needs to be refined to cater for the emerging situations. Here we have a zealous adherence to the changeable on the one hand but the tyrannical imposition of the rejection of the unchangeable. A rigid legalistic imposition to serve the flux of dissolution.

CRISIS IN THE CHURCH - A BRIEF GUIDE

Frank Wright
Jul 03, 2026
Why the SSPX and their faithful are excommunicated for being Catholic.
Fr Pagliarani, SSPX Superior General, gives his homily during the consecrations.
I went to Econe in Switzerland this week with my son to witness the consecration of four bishops by the SSPX, a traditional Catholic fraternity which exists to ensure that traditional Catholicism is preserved.
The Vatican has now excommunicated all the priests, religious, bishops and everyone who adheres to the SSPX - that means, people like me who go to mass and receive the sacraments in SSPX parishes.
Reports are already emerging raising issues with the excommunications, as they are said to theologically questionable and inconsistent with canon law.
The Society of St Pius X and its faithful have been excommunicated by the Vatican for being too Catholic.

It Begins: First U.S. Bishop Declares FSSPX in "Formal Schism"

Bishop Terry R. LaValley of Ogdensburg, New York State, has issued a pastoral letter declaring that the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X (FSSPX) is . following the unauthorized ordination of four bishops - in "formal schism" with the Church.
In a letter dated July 1, Bishop LaValley instructed Catholics in the Diocese of Ogdensburg not to participate in FSSPX liturgies or receive sacraments from FSSPX clergy.
He directed Catholics to avoid activities at St. Therese Chapel in Nicholville, New York, as well as any schools operated by the FSSPX.
Instead, Catholics seeking the Mass in the Roman rite should attend liturgies celebrated in "full communion" with the Church at St. Mary's Church in Potsdam or St. Mary's Church in Evans Mills.
The letter also extends an invitation to FSSPX priests who may not wish to participate in what the bishop described as a break with the See of Peter, stating that the Diocese would assist those seeking to remain within the Catholic Church.

Interesting that Bishop LaValley recommended avoiding schools run by FSSPX. What is his recommendation for public schools?!

myunkie

There is a schism between the SSPX and the Synodal Church. This is not news, the whole purpose of the SSPX was to preserve the faith from which the Synodal Church (formally the "Conciliar Church") was moving away from, trying to suffocate. The question is not if there is a schism, but which side is continuing the faith of the Apostles. (Spoiler Alert: It isn't the side saying all religions are ordained by God.)

A Fraternal Correction of a Flawed Argument: On Heresy, Jurisdiction, and the Limits of Private Judgment

This article is a response to S.D. Wright’s piece, “Church teaching says you can’t be excommunicated by a heretic,” published at LifeSiteNews. The article can be read here: https://www.lifesitenews.com/analysis/leo-xiv-cant-excommunicate-the-sspx-or-its-bishops-heres-why/ A Surprising Publication I will confess that I did a double take when I saw this piece published at LifeSiteNews. I have followed that outlet for some years, and I hold a genuine respect for much of the work they do in defense of the Faith and of authentic Catholic life. That is precisely why I write this response — not in a spirit of antagonism, but out of a sincere concern for theological clarity at a moment when clarity matters enormously. The article in question, written by S.D. Wright, carries a bold and arresting title: “Church teaching says you can’t be excommunicated by a heretic.” Bold titles are fine — I am not averse to them myself. The problem is when the argument beneath the title fails to deliver what the …

I think it's a difficult argument to make definitively and decisively. Therefore, it is much more correct to say the so-called "excommunications" are completely without effect since the troubling state of the Church--awash in heterdoxy and a hierarchy sympathetic to it, a Church that rubber stamps the Consecration of Communist Chinese Bishops without a second thought and under the guidelines of a secret agreement with them, a Church that smiles upon sexual deviancy, receives such deviants in audience, writes books about Our Lord (Tucho) that are shamefully immoral, issues encyclicals that cause moral confusion in the universal Church, and more-- such so-called "excommunications' are without effect since a state of necessity and emergency are absolutely clear....far more so today than they were in 1988.

Excommunicated for schism: Vatican declares Écône bishops schismatics

Vatican City - Just over twenty-four hours after the episcopal consecrations at Écône, the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith today, 2 July 2026, published an Explanatory Note and a Decree formally declaring the schismatic status of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X and the latae sententiae excommunication of those responsible for yesterday’s act on the grounds of the seminary in Valais. The two documents, signed by the Prefect, Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández, Mgr Armando Matteo, Secretary of the Doctrinal Section, and Archbishop John J. Kennedy, Secretary of the Disciplinary Section, bring to a close a process which the Dicastery says has been marked by unsuccessful efforts at reconciliation, “from the time of Saint Paul VI” through to the most recent talks. This refers to the meetings held in recent months between the Fraternity’s Superior General, Fr Davide Pagliarani, and Cardinal Fernández himself, culminating in the personal appeal addressed by Pope Leo XIV to Pagliarani …

That's what you call a follower. Always wants to be part of the crowd and fit in. With a weak mind who can't think, for themselves and to avoid problems with them. That's a real pity. The only time you would ever see me following anyone was when I couldn't talk my friends out of something. So I would go to watch over them to try and stop any problems or protecting them. A friend of over 60 years just mentioned that to me last night in an email.
