Italian Secular Press Features Roman Mass: Today's front page of Il Giornale gives prominence to the Mass in the Roman rite. Nico Spuntoni reports on growing concern within the Consistory over the situation of the FSSPX, with the headline: "The Lefebvrist Rift That Alarms the Consistory." Alongside it, editor-in-chief Tommaso Cerno devotes his editorial to the place of Latin in the Church, arguing under the title "Why the Future Speaks Latin" that the long-held assumption that Latin belongs only to the past deserves to be reconsidered.
Il direttore de Il Giornale, Tommaso Cerno, ha dedicato grande risalto in prima pagina alla Messa tradizionale in latino e all'articolo del corrispondente vaticano Nico Spuntoni sulle crescenti preoccupazioni interne nei concistori riguardo alla situazione della Fraternità Sacerdotale San Pio X (SSPX).
"FSSPX Are Schismatic Priests": Cardinal Gerhard Müller told EWTN that Catholics “cannot go” to Masses offered by the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (SSPX): “They shouldn't go and cannot go, participate in the masses of the schismatic priests.” He added that Catholics must accept not only dogmas such as the Trinity and the Incarnation, but also that “the Church is the visible presence of the Body of Jesus Christ.” Regarding the FSSPX's planned episcopal consecrations, he said: “Consecrations without the Pope are absolutely impossible against the will of God, and who is working against God will be excommunicated.” The Vatican has so far never used the word "schism" or "schismatic" in context with the FSSPX.
Cardinal Müller's remarks to EWTN (June 26) were strikingly uncompromising: "Catholics cannot go to these schismatic priests."
Has there ever been a time like this? The FSSPX is not doing something new, as throughout history of the Church there has been consecrations without papal aproval and nothing happened, because the salvation of souls is #1 and above everything else, BUT we are living in such dangerous times that we no longer distinguish good from bad and light with dark, this is why the FSSPX is doing what's best for their sheep and I (even though im not one of them), stands with them.
Cardinal Gerhard Müller spoke at the June 26 consistory about the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX), IlGiornale.it reports. He addressed the FSSPX's allegations that the Vatican has deviated from the Church's magisterium. Cardinal Müller proposed preparing a response to the Fraternity that would affirm that Rome has never abandoned the path of Catholicism, contrary to their claims. He also said that, following Wednesday's episcopal consecrations, many Lefebvrists would seek to enter into full canonical communion with the Church. The Vatican should prepare to welcome them back by proposing a structure modelled on the Pontifical Commission Ecclesia Dei, which was established by Pope John Paul II in 1988. Cardinal Müller's intervention was received without comment during the session. Picture: Vatican Media, #newsVrgqbzlram
Cardinal Müller on lay homilies: “One cannot arbitrarily divide up priestly powers and outsource them in a functionalist manner unless one denies the sacramental priesthood altogether in a Protestant manner, subsumes it entirely under the common priesthood of all the faithful, and leaves it merely as a function carried out on behalf of the community”
26 neoconservative theology professors from Franciscan University of Steubenville - including Scott Hahn, John Bergsma, Michael Waldstein, Mark Miravalle, and university president Fr. Dave Pivonka - has published an open letter urging the FSSPX not to proceed with episcopal consecrations without a pontifical mandate. They represent a substantial portion of Steubenville's influential Theology Department (about 30 faculty members). Their argument is that no crisis in the Church justifies an act that would further damage the Church's visible unity with the Pope.
Open letter addressed to the SSPX leadership by nearly all the theologians of Franciscan University of Steubenville. «We write not as adversaries, but as fellow Christians who love the Church, which is built on Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition, and who, like you, long for the salvation of souls. Your love for the beauty of the traditional liturgy and your reverence in worship witness your earnest desire to serve the Lord. We share this love and desire.... The treasures of Catholic Tradition do not belong outside communion with Peter; they belong at the heart of the Church.»
Please attend to the nearly 50 "I reject" proclamations of the PoF, address them and stop the duck and hide, escape and evasion sophistry. It didn't work before and ain't gonna work now. M O D E R N I S M: the synthesis of all heresies.
Two Mexican Bishops Celebrate Homosexual Eucharist. Worse than Germany: On Pentecost Sunday, 24 May, Bishop Hilario González García, 61, of Saltillo, Mexico, celebrated a Eucharist with homosexual groups at San Esteban Parish as part of the city's 'Pride March'. Bishop Emeritus Raúl Vera concelebrated the Eucharist. Homosexuals participated in the readings, music and offertory. A rainbow flag was displayed near the lectern.

With compliance like this, they are both headed down the road to receive the Red Hat of the Cardinalate. They are exactly what Francis I, and now Francis II, deemed essential as Princes of the Church.
"Church Can Never Accept Homosexual Lifestyle": Following a pro-homosexual Eucharist presided over by Washington Cardinal Robert McElroy at Georgetown University on June 20, New York Father Gerald Murray noted that McElroy was attempting to “let the steamroller keep rolling down the street” in order to promote homosexual sins within the Church. “The propaganda continues,” said Father Murray. Cardinal McElroy holds the view that acceptance of the homosexual lifestyle is “inevitable.” “That will never happen; it can never happen,” Father Murray concluded.
Fr. Murray on Cardinal McElroy's decision to celebrate Mass at a recent LGBT gathering in Washington, DC: "McElroy is trying to roll this steamroller down the road further, saying that it's inevitable that the church is going to accept the homosexual lifestyle. It never will"
Historia herezji Arianizmu niechaj dodaje nam otuchy. Większość Kościoła wtedy zboczyła z kursu, ale jednostki uratowały Kościół. Święty Mikołaju módl się za nami, który publicznie dałeś w zęby Ariuszowi, aż nakrył się nogami, a ojcowie Soboru mieli jednocześnie sen, że się nie mylił.
SACRAMENTALS for the time of chastisement: Moses interceded for the people, and Yahweh answered him, "Make a fiery serpent and put it on a standard. If anyone is bitten and looks at it, he shall live." (Numbers 21:8) 1) Some Sacramentales serve for Protection: a) Exodus 12:5, 7, 13; The animal shall be without blemish, a male, one year old. You shall choose it from among the lambs or the goats. Then they shall take the blood and apply it to the two doorposts and the lintel of the houses where they eat it. The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are staying. When I see the blood, I will pass over you, and there will be no plague to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt. b) Revelation 7:3; “Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees until we have marked the foreheads of the servants of our God with the Seal.” c) Revelation 9:4; They were told not to harm the grass of the earth, or anything green, or any tree; but only those people who did not have the Seal of …Ossotina
1) Niektóre sakramentalia służą ochronie: a) Księga Wyjścia 12:5, 7, 13; Zwierzę to ma być bez skazy, samcem, w wieku jednego roku. Wybierzecie je spośród baranków lub kozłów. Następnie wezmą krew i posmarują nią oba odrzwia oraz nadproże domów, w których będą je spożywać. Krew ta będzie dla was znakiem na domach, w których mieszkacie. Gdy ujrzę tę krew, ominę was i nie spadnie na was plaga, która ma zniszczyć was, gdy uderzę w ziemię egipską. b) Objawienie 7:3; „Nie wyrządzajcie szkody ziemi, morzu ani drzewom, dopóki nie oznaczymy pieczęcią czoła sług naszego Boga”. c) Objawienie 9:4; Powiedziano im, aby nie wyrządzali szkody trawie na ziemi, ani niczemu zielonemu, ani żadnemu drzewu, lecz tylko tym ludziom, którzy nie mieli pieczęci Boga na czołach. 2) Niektóre sakramentalia służą uzdrowieniu: a) Księga Liczb 21: 5-8; Po drodze lud stracił cierpliwość. Narzekali na Boga i na Mojżesza: „Dlaczego wyprowadziłeś nas z Egiptu, żebyśmy zginęli na tej pustyni? Nie ma tu bowiem ani …Ossotina
In his May 2026 lecture at the Pontifical Urbaniana University, Cardinal Víctor "Tucho" Fernández said: "Sometimes it takes a madman, desperately in love with his land and his people, capable of separating the Gospel from certain cultural husks that have become attached to it but are not an essential part of its message, and of rereading it in the light of what his people are living today." Tucho added: "Ultimately, it is the Gospel, written within an ancient culture, that now acquires another 'flesh' in popular rites, venerated images, aphorisms and customs, reflections, ways of living the faith, and in music." On 25 June, Carlos Daniel Lasa wrote on ElWanderer.com that Tucho's contextual theology displaces Revelation and makes the lived experience of each people the decisive point for theology. Tucho relativises immutable doctrine and reduces theology to historical interpretation. Lasa's central thesis is even more far-reaching: Pope Francis sought to "refound" the Church, appointed …Ossotina
The Apostolic faith speaks to the eternal essence of God and the unchanging struggle of humans which is resolved by the timeless sacrifice on Calvary. Tucho claims that what he doesn't like in the Apostolic faith are cultural accretions. He is wrong. Lace, the mitre, and even his red zucchetto are cultural accretions. The seven deadly sins and sins which cry out to Heaven for vengeance are as fundamental to salvation as DNA is to life. This may be painful for Tucho. My heart goes out to him. But salvation comes from taking up your cross and requires sacrifice of your own preferences for the sake of Christ.
The implementation phase of the synod “will mark a new stage in the reception of the Second Vatican Council,” Cardinal Mario Grech warned the consistory on Saturday. He is a Cardinal and the Vatican's Secretary of the Synod. His lengthy speech, which was around 3,000 words long, was published on Zenit.org. Much of it was frankly repetitive, focusing on buzzwords such as listening, discernment, communion, participation, the 'exchange of gifts', implementation, and 'conversation in the Spirit'. In terms of density of ideas, the speech was pretty low. The essential message was • the Synod is not over. • implementation is the real work. • synodality should become part of the Church's ordinary life. • this is the next stage of Vatican II. Two key sentences were: "The discernment of the signs of the times, ecumenical and interreligious dialogue, and the commitment to justice and peace become measures of the Church's diakonia." "In this way, the implementation phase becomes a new stage …Ossotina

"Young People Want Traditional Mass": Bishop James Conley of Lincoln, Nebraska, told EWTN on June 26 that he sees "a resurgence of interest in all things traditional, especially among young people": "They want reverence. They want transcendence. They want beauty in the liturgy." He believes this desire is also influencing the Novus Ordo: "I believe that we're seeing a trend turning more traditional even in the Novus Ordo. And I think this is a good thing." Ordained in 1985, Bishop James Conley has celebrated the Mass in the Roman rite since 1988, though about 95% of the time he uses the Novus Ordo.
Bishop James Conley, Lincoln: "There is a resurgence of interest in all things traditional, especially among young people. I see it in my own diocese. They want reverence. They want transcendence. They want beauty in the liturgy." "Thanks be to God we have not only the Fraternity of Saint Peter, but I have a couple of priests who celebrate, with permission of the Holy See, a Sunday Mass in the Extraordinary Form... It's my hope that as they continue to ordain priests... they will be able to meet the needs of the people who desire this form of the Mass." "So don't give up and don't jump ship."
"Thanks be to God we have not only the Fraternity of Saint Peter, but I have a couple of priests who celebrate, with permission of the Holy See," He is thanking God for Novus Ordo priests who accept V2 as promulgated by the synodal church right? And this is the synodal tradition they want to hand on to the next generation right?
'We have all heard it before: Divine Mercy is not authentic. It was banned. The Image of Divine Mercy is not correct. John Paul II only approved it because it was Polish. It is of Satan! Now, Fr. Chris Alar begins a new series of talks answering every one of these attacks and explains in detail why they are not correct.'
A 29-year-old monk from the independent Abbey of Notre-Dame de Bellaigue in central France, who had been missing since Tuesday evening, was found safe on Friday. The Benedictine-inspired community in Virlet, in the Puy-de-Dôme department, was formerly affiliated with the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX). It aligned in 2019 with the movement associated with Bishop Richard Williamson. French gendarmes launched a search operation on Wednesday morning, deploying ground teams and aerial resources to locate the missing religious. According to LaMontagne.fr, the monk was found alive and without apparent injuries near Limoges, approximately 170 kilometers (105 miles) west of the monastery. Authorities have not disclosed how the monk came to be so far from the monastery or the circumstances surrounding his disappearance. They have released no information suggesting criminal involvement, nor have they indicated whether he left voluntarily or experienced a medical or psychological …Ossotina
