Leo XIV-Appointed Archbishop at the UN wants to get rid of free speech. The new Permanent Observer of the Holy See to the United Nations, Archbishop Christophe El-Kassis, delivered his first address at the UN on September 17. The Archbishop rejected “every form of intolerance, discrimination, and hate speech”. And: “Any hate speech - directed at either individuals or communities because of their religion, race, nationality, or any other characteristic - goes against the commandment to love one’s neighbor.” He believes, it “poisons public discourse, inflames division, and too often prepares the ground for violence and persecution.” Words that intentionally provoke hatred “cannot claim the protection of liberty.” Leo XIV appointed Monsignor El-Kassis to the United Nations in July.
Archbishop Christophe El-Kassis: Speech that intentionally provokes hatred cannot claim the protection of liberty.
How absolutely disgusting! Who determines the 'intentionality' here?!! The sender, or, as has become more common nowadays, those who would look for offense and hatred especially where none has been given. Under such a glaringly absurd 'rule' our Lord's denunciation of the Pharisees and scribes as being "like white sepulchres..." as well as numerous other justifiable condemnations merited His 'silencing'. God help us!
The home of Cardinal Ernest Simoni, 97, in Florence was burgled while he was in Britain. The Albanian cardinal was received by King Charles III at Balmoral Castle on September 15. According to Corriere.it, thieves targeted the Curia-owned apartment in Piazza Duomo where Simoni lives with his nephew Tonin and his family. When his nephew called with the news, the cardinal’s first concern was not the money: “Did they leave the statue of Our Lady of Medjugorje? And Padre Pio?” Told both were untouched, Simoni replied simply: “Allora poco male” - “Then, little harm done.” The burglars smashed through a wall with chisels, forced open an armoured door and ransacked wardrobes, boxes and luggage, leaving their tools on the landing. The haul, estimated at €30,000, included cash, gold, jewellery, medals and a gold seal. Strangely, Simoni’s residence permit was also taken. Tonin and his wife had left around 1 p.m. and returned at 11 p.m. to find the apartment ransacked. Tonin believes the family …More

The Mystery of the Blood of Saint Januarius September 19 – Memorial of Saint Januarius, Bishop and Martyr Dear brothers and sisters, as you already know, regarding matters not directly concerning the *depositum fidei* (the deposit of faith), the Church has never officially pronounced judgment on the "miraculous" or "supernatural" nature of the events surrounding the blood of Saint Januarius in Naples. Scientific examinations have thus far been prevented by the fact that the two ampoules are sealed with an extremely hard mastic that makes it impossible to open them without breaking the glass. However, spectrographic analysis conducted by professors from the University of Naples has demonstrated that the contents are undoubtedly blood. In any case, the very existence of this blood defies explanation: were the laws of nature to apply, the blood would have long since putrefied and turned to dust. Indeed, as the scholar Professor Gastone Lambertini summarized after years of research: "One …More
Bishop Mutsaerts attacks “angry” Catholic blogs. Dutch Auxiliary Bishop Rob Mutsaerts — one of the better bishops, who survived a car accident in June — has launched a polemical attack on Catholics who dominate online discourse. “One can eventually spend so much time fighting modernism that Christ becomes almost incidental,” Mutsaerts writes in a lengthy article on his blog on September 16. “One can read every day about everything going wrong in Rome and barely open the Gospel. One can receive news of the latest disaster in a dicastery on Facebook within ten minutes and have no idea which saint is commemorated that day.” “That is not a victory for tradition. It is spiritual distraction.” Mutsaerts continues: “Read more Augustine than ecclesiastical Twitter. Read more Benedict XVI than angry blogs. Spend longer praying for your bishop than complaining about him.” Elsewhere, he alleges that Catholics preoccupied with Church politics may not even know the Catechism: “A Catholic who does …More

Theo Bishop Barron Interview youtube.com/watch?v=tSlDMz2ZrnY We can sense Theo is seeking support for his calling out the genocide, artificial intelligence, and pornography. The Bishop has slightly underplayed responses to these in contrast to his more solid solid knowledge of Church teachings in other matters. I sense also the Bishop has some vulnerabilities he has to look out for. This is not a post to mud sling another VII bishop although that seems to be a happy playground for GTV. Some of us have had intense conversions since VII. Visitors may also be wanting of the Sacramental Life.
( LifeSiteNews ) — Dans la première partie de cet entretien, l'archevêque Carlo Maria Viganò affirmait que les réformes liées au concile Vatican II avaient affaibli le rôle de l'Église en tant que katéchon , cette force qui freine la propagation de l'esprit de l'Antéchrist dans l'histoire. Il y abordait la nature de l'autorité papale, la distinction entre la papauté en tant qu'institution divine et les papes, tout en critiquant les évolutions post-conciliaires, la montée en puissance de la synodalité et la place des femmes au sein de la direction du Vatican. Cette seconde partie de l'entretien est consacrée à la critique de Viganò à l'égard de l'Église post-conciliaire, et plus particulièrement à la réforme liturgique et à Traditionis Custodes, considérés comme des instruments d'une transformation théologique plus vaste. Il évoque également le pontificat de Léon XIV, notamment les allégations de réseaux de protection au sein des élites ecclésiastiques, ainsi que l'influence des forces …More
