The episcopal consecrations in Ecône, Switzerland, today should lead the Church to reconsider the restrictions on the Mass in the Roman rite, Cardinal Gerhard Müller told IlGiornale.it on July 1. The restrictions imposed by Traditionis Custodes (2021) have only strengthened the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) by giving them "a symbol of dissent against Rome". They have "almost served as propaganda" for them. According to Cardinal Müller, Traditionis Custodes "has not had a positive effect": "Using an authoritarian approach to demand blind obedience is not our way." He praised Benedict XVI's Summorum Pontificum (2007) for bringing "a great deal of peace" to the Church, adding: "One cannot prohibit the rite in its ancient form." The ancient Mass cannot be harmful when "the saints and the Fathers of the Church celebrated in this form." Cardinal Müller rejected the claim that those attached to the ancient rite reject the Second Vatican Council, arguing instead that the …More
The Greek Ministry of Migration and Asylum is pressing ahead with plans to establish a temporary migrant detention center at a former factory in Iraklio, Crete, despite an official urban planning report concluding that the proposed site violates zoning regulations and growing opposition from local residents. The urban planning report was commissioned after residents from nearby villages objected to the facility. The center is intended to house migrants arriving on Crete from North Africa. If completed, it would become the island’s second migrant reception center, alongside an existing one outside Hania. Greek officials argue that the new facility is needed to house migrants in an organized reception center, ensure legal procedures are followed, and ease pressure on Crete’s tourism industry. Residents say the planning report vindicates their concerns and have urged the ministry to abandon the project, warning they are prepared to seek court injunctions if construction goes ahead. The …
Weather Deteriorated During Episcoapal Consecration: As the consecration began in Écône, a downpour doused the faithful in the field outside the tent. Meanwhile, the organ played Handel's "Lascia ch'io pianga": "Let me weep over my cruel fate, and sigh for freedom."
Au moment de la consécration, un déluge s'abat sur Écone. L'orgue entonne « Lascia ch'io pianga » tandis que les fidèles se mettent à l'abri. (Laisse-moi pleurer mon sort cruel et soupirer après la liberté ; que la douleur brise ces chaînes de mes tourments, ne serait-ce que par pitié.) Un moment d'un symbolisme tonitruant.
Aaron the High Priest | The First High Priest of Israel | Feast Day July 1st Today we remember Aaron, whose feast day is observed on July 1 in the Roman Martyrology. Aaron was the older brother of Moses and played a vital role in God's plan to free the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. When Moses felt unable to speak before Pharaoh, Aaron became his spokesman. Later, God appointed Aaron as the first High Priest of Israel, giving him the responsibility of leading the people in worship and offering sacrifices on their behalf. Aaron's ministry included: Leading Israel's worship Offering sacrifices to God Teaching God's law Serving God's people as High Priest Although Aaron was chosen by God, Scripture also shows that he was not without faults. He failed during the incident of the golden calf, yet he repented and continued serving faithfully. His life reminds us that God can work through imperfect people who return to Him with humble hearts. Aaron's priesthood ultimately …More
Aaron - Gedenktag katholisch: 1. Juli erster Priester * um 1529 v. Chr. in Ägypten † um 1452 v. Chr. Aaron war der älteste Sohn von Amram und Jochabed, der Bruder von Mose und Mirjam aus dem Stamm Levi. Seine Frau hieß Elisabeth, seine Söhne waren Nadab, Abtu, Eleazar und Ithamar (2. Mose 6, 23). Als Mose das Volk Israel aus Ägypten herausführen sollte, sich aber die für die Begegnung mit dem Pharao nötige Redegabe nicht zutraute, verwies Gott ihn auf den beredsamen Aaron, der den Pharao bewegen sollte, das Volk ziehen zu lassen (2. Mose 4, 14). Nach dem Auszug wurde Aaron mit seinen Söhnen zum Priestertum berufen (2. Mose 29, 4); Gott bestätigte dies durch das Wunder, dass sein erstes Opfer vom himmlischen Feuer verzehrt wurde und sein Stab ergrünte, blühte und Mandeln trug (4. Mose 17). Als Mose länger auf dem Berg Sinai blieb als erwartet, zweifelte das Volk an seiner Rückkehr und Aaron ließ ein goldenes Kalb, einen Stiergott, anfertigen, den das Volk nun verehrte (2. Mose …More
Official Trailer - Free Reiner - The Film Uncovering the Hidden Story Behind the “Pandemic”. In 2020, as the world grappled with what seemed like an unprecedented health crisis, many of us felt a shift—something bigger than just a virus. But what if the story we were told wasn’t the full truth? What if, beneath the headlines and official reports, there was something far more complex, even darker? This is where Dr. Reiner Fuellmich enters the picture. A respected international lawyer, he refused to accept the narrative at face value. Alongside other experts and legal minds, he launched the Corona Investigative Committee, determined to dig deeper. Their investigations gathered testimonies that challenged the fundamental truths behind the „pandemic“. Fuellmich's conclusion shook many: the COVID crisis, as painted by governments and media, might…
Yesterday, Leo XIV wrote to the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X. He acknowledged the FSSPX's devotion to Tradition, the liturgy, and priestly formation. He begs them to "turn back" from a prospective "schismatic act", warning of its grave consequences while reaffirming the Church's openness to dialogue and reconciliation. The letter. To the Reverend Father Davide Pagliarani Superior General of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X With a paternal heart, and aware of the responsibility entrusted to me by the Lord as the Successor of the Apostle Peter, I address you and, through you, the bishops, priests, seminarians and faithful connected to the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X. The Church recognizes the devotion to liturgical life, commitment to priestly formation, apostolic zeal and desire for fidelity to Tradition that characterize many people and communities connected to your Fraternity. This has motivated the attentive and generous attitude that my Predecessors have consistently …More
This is the same apostate, impostor, and gay activist who reinforces Muslims in their idolatry of the false god Allah and in their rejection of the Holy Trinity—deceiving them by telling them that their idolatrous mosque is a "holy place"—and who confirms in heresy, schism, and apostasy the heretical, apostate Lutheran woman and gay activist who poses as a bishop.
This is political strategy. It has nothing to do with being a "Shepherd." Enough dialogue. We've been dialoguing for 60 years. "By their fruits you will know them." Who would have guessed Our Lord was prophesying with a double entendre.
Tue Jun 30, 2026 - 8:05 am EDTTue Jun 30, 2026 - 1:03 pm EDT (LifeSiteNews) — Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò has responded vigorously to Pope Leo’s open letter to the superior general of the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX). In an X post published in Italian this morning, Viganò took issue with the Pontiff’s letter, recalling the “seamless garment” theology of other American prelates. He may have also invoked a principle of canon law regarding emergency provisions: “Omnia parata sunt ad nuptias,” that is, “everything is prepared for the wedding.” “In the imminence of the episcopal Consecrations of Écône, when ‘omnia parata sunt ad nuptias,’ comes the pathetic communication with which Leo reminds the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X that ‘to tear the seamless tunic of Christ is a sin of extreme gravity’ (one wonders if it is the same seamless tunic [Ed: garment] of Bernardin and Cupich – passed to the same Prevost – to downgrade and legitimize the abominable crime of abortion…)…
No thanks. The last time Archbishop Vigano ordained a priest he ordained that defrocked pedophile Kerry Moran that began doing the rounds on the Resistance circuit in England and Ireland.
July 1st - Saint of the Day: Saint Oliver Plunkett, Bishop & Martyr In 1681, a Catholic Archbishop was dragged into an English courtroom and convicted of high treason. The judge announced his actual crime out loud from the bench. "The bottom of your treason was your setting up your false religion." In other words, he was sentenced to be hanged, drawn, and quartered for being Catholic and doing his job. His name was Saint Oliver Plunkett, Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of All Ireland, and his story is one of the most dramatic, courageous, and deeply moving in the history of the Catholic Church. Here is what makes his story truly extraordinary. He confirmed over 48,000 Catholics in four years, traveling on foot through Irish mountains and rain with barely any food. He founded the very first integrated school in Irish history, where Catholic and Protestant children were educated together, in the middle of violent religious persecution. He personally sought …More
Archbishop BANS Catholics From Praying On His Own Cathedral Steps Christ The King Archbishop Robert Casey, Archbishop of Cincinnati, told a Catholic men’s group that they were forbidden to pray the Rosary on the steps of the Cathedral during Cincinnati’s annual Pride Parade. The Archbishop said he wanted to remain “neutral” toward the Pride Parade. Scripture, the Fathers of the Church and the Catechism state that a bishop can’t be neutral toward sin. TAKE ACTION: Contact Archbishop Casey at archbishop@catholicaoc.org or 513.263.6612. Let him know what you think.
The Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) "didn't consider useful the dialogue we've proposed", Cardinal Tucho Fernández, soft porn author and Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, told @Michael Haynes on X.com. Tucho added: "But we hope in future, thanks to the action of the Holy Spirit, it'll be possible. I'm sure, but we'll need time." #newsXnfaezetpr
On June 27, an Asian cardinal criticized at the consistory the continuing restrictions on the Mass in the Roman rite, reports IlGiornale.it. The Cardinal argued that if they were lifted, it would be much easier to attract faithful prepared to leave the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X. There are three dozen Asian cardinals. The most outspoken in support of the ancient Roman rite are Cardinals Malcolm Ranjith of Colombo, Sri Lanka, and William Goh of Singapore. Picture: AI, #newsFeyawfwlyc
"Our work is not about creating a parallel institution in which everything is the way we want it, but improving what is going on in the mainstream, above all making the Traditional Mass available to as many Catholics as possible. I note this because of the very different attitude of Fr Davide Pagliarani, the Superior General of the Society of St Pius X."
Cardinal Raymond Burke criticized at the consistory the pro-homosexual Final Report of the Synod’s Study Group No. 9. AdVaticanum.com reports (June 29) that he focused on its call to privilege the "experiences" of homosexuals. Cardinal Burke described the report as manifesting “the very grave difficulty with the current direction and functioning of the Synod” and stressed that it carries weight as official synodal material. He added that, by invoking a “paradigm shift,” the report takes a path divergent from the Church’s perennial moral teaching on the homosexual condition and corresponding acts. Furthermore, the Cardinal defended the Courage apostolate supporting chastity. He criticized the report for slandering such efforts and validating agendas “in open opposition to the traditional moral doctrine of the Church.” He concluded by invoking St John Paul II’s Veritatis Splendor in defence of immutable moral norms. #newsNxgddvhpmu
