– Folha de S. Paulo, November 26, 1981 – by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira Debts should be paid at the first opportunity. I mention this truism to apologize. In my second-to-last article, I said I would soon discuss a certain topic. Then, the issue of adverse possession and the obligations from my past — both distant and recent — regarding this subject compelled me to write about it right away. My nearly overwhelming current workload has kept me from writing for the Folha, so I now feel a bit guilty and want to make up for the delay by returning to the topic I mentioned. In my article “Modern, Forward-Thinking, in the Wind” (Folha de S. Paulo, 10/24/1981), I discussed the deep change occurring across significant sectors of American society. Truly profound, because it impacts a psychological realm that shapes language, clothing, manners, housing choices, as well as objects of utility and decoration, the way Americans confront internal and external issues, and how they choose candidates for …More
Cardinal Robert McElroy of Washington now says he removed Msgr. Stephen Rossetti as a Washington exorcist not because of his demons-and-UFOs comments, but because exorcism should be a private ministry. In a June 29 interview released July 8, McElroy said his objection was that exorcists should stick to quietly helping people in serious cases, not operate publicly: "It wasn't touching on the question of UFOs... my major objection is that I think the traditional role of an exorcist is a very private one." That explanation contradicts the archdiocese's own June statement announcing the removal. It said Rossetti's UFO comments "gravely undermine the Church's very precise teaching on the devil, demons and exorcism." Monsignor Rossetti had said in a video that he thinks many UFO sightings are demons capable of feats beyond human ability, such as impossible high-speed maneuvers. #newsYvdpsotlwj
"It often happened that they found themselves in want of necessaries, for they were very liberal to the poor, nor were they careful, like worldly people, to provide for their wants in advance. Now the Lord so ordered it, that the faith and patience of His holy Mother and St. Joseph should not be idle."
[Venerable Mary of Agreda – XVII Century AD; born/died: Agreda, Spain; Mystic; Writer; ‘Blue Nun’] They mingled these conversations, or readings from the Scriptures, sometimes with manual labor, when the saint was obliged to continue at his work. Our most amiable Lady added to them the consolations of the celestial doctrines ; and thus the happy husband made greater advancement in virtue than with the work of his hands. She showed to Him the great fruit that may be drawn from labor. Believing herself unworthy to be maintained by her spouse, she was humbled, in thinking how much she was indebted to him. She felt herself as much obliged as if she had been the most useless of creatures, and, being unable to assist our saint, she served him whenever it was possible. About this time St. Joseph saw, one day, a great number of birds come to recreate the queen of creatures. ‘They fluttered around her, as if to form a choir, and sang with a delicious melody. St. Joseph had not before witnessed …More

Bishop of Liège Wishes New FSSPX Priest Well: Bishop Jean-Pierre Delville of Liège, Belgium, wished Fr. Vincent Richter, ordained for the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X at Écône on 29 June, well in his future mission in Brazil and urged him to serve Christ "as an authentic disciple of the Gospel." His tone was firmer after the FSSPX's four episcopal consecrations on 1 July without a papal mandate, describing them as deepening the Society's separation from Rome while still calling for continued dialogue.
As the Scripture says: "Where your treasure is, there your heart is too." Matthew 6:21. Relatedly, what you champion and defend reveals your true nature!
Following the FSSPX episcopal consecrations, Philippe Darantière hopes "for great goodwill toward us on the part of the bishops," he told OsvNews.com on July 7. Since 2025, he has been president of the Notre-Dame de Chrétienté association, which organizes the annual Paris-to-Chartres pilgrimage, France. For Darantière, contact between the faithful attached to the traditional Roman rite and the bishops of France is "still tentative." It varies depending on the diocese and the specific circumstances there. "We do not communicate much with the bishops," he admitted. He also expressed his hope for "improvements in relations with the bishops, particularly in the summer, when there are many requests for weddings and baptisms in the traditional rite from the faithful who are attached to the traditional rite but who are far from their usual parish." Darantière is supporting Pope Leo XIV's visit to France in September. The association Notre-Dame de Chrétienté is providing volunteers and encouraging …More
On July 6, Cardinal Gerhard Müller told K-TV.org that FSSPX confessions are illicit but valid. Now he has repeated his disagreement with the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith. Its explanatory note from July 2 had claimed that confessions heard by FSSPX priests are "invalid." "The note from the Dicastery, which appears only as explanatory notes, is unclear," Cardinal Müller told Andreas Wailzer on X.com on July 8. He added: "The authority to forgive sins is conferred by Christ Himself in the sacrament of Holy Orders. It is not conferred by the Pope through his primacy of jurisdiction. Orthodox priests, too, validly grant absolution." Müller continued: "The Pope can only prohibit the exercise of this authority. He can also reserve certain sins for his own absolution. One example is the sin against the unity of the Church, committed through an unauthorized episcopal consecration." #newsMpjletlqsm
Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano publishes an article claiming Genesis does not contain a devil and original sin, arguing that tradition exegesis "is reduced to sex." This is an ATTACK on traditional Church teaching. lifesitenews.com/news/pope-leos…
This is how they do it; sowing little seeds of doubt here and there, nothing too outrageous until good Catholics are left scratching their heads about what the true teachings are...so much like Satan in the garden...
Wednesday, 16th July 1913, State to Fight Move to Indict Jim Conley Wednesday, July 16, 1913 Grand Jury Foreman Admits That Action Against the Negro Is Considered. The reported proposal by some of the members of the Grand Jury to meet for an investigation of Jim Conley's connection with the murder of Mary Phagan has precipitated a sharp struggle in which Solicitor Dorsey has declared himself bitterly opposed to any action looking toward the indictment of the negro as a principal in the crime or even as an accessory after the fact, as the negro admits himself to be. The fight has resolved itself into a contest to determine whether Conley shall go on the stand in the trial of Leo Frank as a reputable, trustworthy and free citizen, the status in which the Solicitor wishes to maintain him, or as a prisoner with the shadow of an indictment hanging over him. In the latter aspect, several of the members of the Grand Jury are said to contend that he should appear, inasmuch as he is a confessed …More
The July 2026 consecrations are portrayed not simply as another repeat of 1988. Instead, they are interpreted as demonstrating that the SSPX intends to perpetuate itself independently of Rome for the foreseeable future.
