In a Rescriptum ex Audientia Sanctissimi approved on March 25 and published on May 28, Leo XIV introduced a new procedural faculty concerning the governance of religious institutes and monasteries. The measure grants the Vatican Congregation for Religious the authority to permit a diocesan bishop to dismiss the superior of a monastery under canon 699 §2 of the Code of Canon Law. The Dicastery is led by Sister Simona Brambilla, Prefect, and Sister Tiziana Merletti, Secretary. The rescript is signed by Cardinal Pietro Parolin, Secretary of State. It also notes that Pope Francis had previously expressed support for this approach. #newsDxprffrcqu
The British ‘Marian Franciscans’, a break-away group from the Franciscans of the Immaculate, cease to exist on 31 May, they announced today. The leading public figure is Fr Serafino M. Lanzetta. The UK community consists of about 20 friars and 20 sisters and used both, the Novus Ordo and the Mass in the Roman rite. It had two priories, in Portsmouth and in Dundee. The original order, the Franciscans of the Immaculate, underwent a dramatic Vatican destruction beginning in 2013 (founder: Fr Stefano Manelli). In November 2014, some friars and seminarians gravitated toward the UK. On 31 May, 2018, the community was erected as a Public Association of the Faithful in the Diocese of Portsmouth by Bishop Philip Egan, who is among the better bishops in Europe. The friars voted on 27 April to petition for dissolution, and Bishop Egan issued the decree of dissolution on 24 May. Individual priests will continue ministry in three existing locations with appropriate diocesan permission. They are …More

1 Peter 4:7-13 "Be good stewards of God’s varied grace." Let us encourage the beauty of God in people. Grace overflows with graces (rays). Mark 11:11-25 "My house shall be called a house of prayer." May the Lord cleanse us of the useless burdens in our lives. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.
Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller spoke to kath.net on May 26 about the episcopal consecrations on July 1 by the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X. Main quotes.. No sympathy for the FSSPX “They understand themselves as an emergency community that will remain at a distance until the millions of Catholics who have fallen into Modernism, thousands of bishops and priests, and the current Pope return to the Church which the Society of St. Pius X preserves as the holy remnant of the one true Catholic Church.” Can the Entire Church Have Fallen Into Error? “From a purely human and theological perspective, it cannot be the case that the two thousand bishops and all the popes who have gathered at the Council have been mistaken on dogmatic issues or have deviated from the apostolic tradition, with the exception of a single bishop who, through illegal episcopal ordinations alone, ensures the Church’s continued existence” No one has a right to become a bishop “Nobody has a claim to episcopal …More
“The priests of the Lord must therefore, so far as reason and prudence suggest, impose salutary and suitable satisfactions, in keeping with the nature of the crimes and the ability of the penitents; otherwise, if they should connive at sins and deal too leniently with penitents, imposing certain very light works for very grave offenses, they might become partakers in the sins of others.” Council of Trent, Session XIV, CHAPTER VIII “connive in sins” various descriptions Connivance is the act of allowing wrongdoing to be covered up or overlooked, whether actively or passively; "Connivance" derives from the Latin coniveo: "to close the eyes, to overlook."; In theological terms, connivance is a useful term, especially for the passive allowance of immoral behavior; culpable indifference or criminal sympathy with the sin; Wink at his fault, and forbear to accuse and punish him; indifference to precise regulations of religion, indisposition of heart towards "perfect holiness"; a loose …More
Light penances for grave sins do more harm than good—they condemn the penitent to even greater torment in purgatory and make the priest complicit in the sins. Moreover, does a woman understand the full gravity of her sin after receiving three Lord's Prayer prayers as satisfaction for an abortion? Will she refrain from repeating the sin next time?
Abbé Michel Poinsinet de Sivry, who will be consecrated a bishop of the FSSPX on July 1, celebrated Mass at the altar of Saint Pius X in St. Peter’s Basilica on 9 August 2014. The Mass was authorized by the Papal Basilica, and he used vestments made available from the basilica sacristy.

Commissioner for Padre Pio's Hospital: Leo XIV has established a Steering and Supervisory Commission to address the long-running financial troubles of Casa Sollievo della Sofferenza, the southern Italian hospital founded by Padre Pio. The body, chaired by the Vatican's economy prefect Maximino Caballero Ledo, holds full operational powers and reports directly to the Pope. It will oversee efforts to stabilise the hospital, which carries debts of around €108 million to suppliers.
On 27 May, Leo XIV received the Spanish Socialist Pedro Sánchez for a 45-minute audience ahead of the Pope’s June visit to Spain. Afterward, Sánchez publicly said there was “sintonía” (“strong alignment”) between the Spanish government and the Pope on migration, poverty, and a “humanist” regulation of artificial intelligence. He also called Leo XIV “a moral compass.” The upcoming papal visit to Spain further reinforced the perception of alignment. Leo XIV is scheduled to address the Spanish Parliament, visit migrant arrival sites in the Canary Islands, and emphasize humanitarian themes closely associated with Sánchez’s political agenda. Spanish authorities held more than 80 coordination meetings in preparation for the visit. While Sánchez was meeting the Pope, Civil Guard officers were simultaneously searching Socialist Party headquarters in Madrid under a court warrant linked to alleged illegal financing. Several Spanish media outlets highlighted the striking contrast between …More
At today's General Audience, Pope Leo XIV urged priests - in words only - to respect the texts and norms of the Mass. The Holy Father reminded priests not to alter the liturgy “on their own initiative,” warning that such changes can create confusion among the faithful.
Retired Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia, 81, told SettimanaNews.it (May 21) that Pope Francis “felt the need to adapt doctrine to new times” regarding Humanae Vitae (1968). Francis had asked the pro-homosexual Archbishop to prepare the “necessary updates.” Monsignor Paglia wrote a text with a group of theologians, and Francis “appreciated it greatly”. The issues under discussion included homosexuality, marriage, “irregular” (sinful) situations, and Communion for the divorced and remarried. Throughout the interview, Paglia portrays Catholic moral theology - including the concept of “non-negotiable values” - as “moralistic,” based on “abstract principles,” “desk theology,” and detached from "real human experience". "Immutable vision of natural law" overturned Furthermore, Archbishop Paglia stated that the 2016 “reform” of the Pontifical John Paul II Institute for Marriage and Family involved “rethinking the concept of ‘nature’.” According to Paglia, the previous approach had rested …More
