Leo XIV will wear liturgical vestments by his homosexual tailor Filippo Sorcinelli, 51, during the celebrations today in Assisi and on 22 August in Rimini. Sorcinelli said this in an interview with Corriere.it on 2 August. The Assisi vestments draw inspiration from 13th- and 14th-century paintings of the Porziuncola, while the Rimini vestments, created for a Eucharist by the sea, feature porthole motifs symbolizing water as the source of life. Sorcinelli says every papal vestment is designed specifically for the place and liturgy in which it will be used. He first met the future pope when he was still a cardinal, fitting him with a mitre presented by Augustinian confreres from Vienna. Sorcinelli says he later saw the same mitre reappear after Prevost's election as pope. Leo XIV's election helped Sorcinelli overcome a deep existential crisis. After more than a decade designing vestments for Pope Francis, Sorcinelli had considered leaving liturgical design to focus on organ music and his …More
Vladimir Putin took part in the plenary session of the IX St. Petersburg International Cultural Forum – the Forum of United Cultures. Italian Publisher complaining to Putin about his country and how things are suppressed, how he no longer is invited by publishers as a political scientist. That we have the most severe censorship anywhere of speaking as a patriot. Then pleads with Putin later on about helping to save and publish literature.

The Winnipeg Statement was an influential and controversial pastoral letter issued by the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB) on September 27, 1968. Released during a plenary assembly in St. Boniface, Winnipeg, Manitoba, the document served as the Canadian hierarchy's official response to Pope Paul VI’s papal encyclical, Humanae vitae, which reaffirmed the Catholic Church's absolute prohibition on artificial birth control. [1] The statement became a historical milestone due to its unique stance on individual conscience, which many interpreted as a departure or dissent from official Vatican teaching.
From the hearts of the Romanian people. And may this be a lesson for the European Union.

Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke has called on Catholics to defend the sacrament of marriage and the Christian family even at the cost of suffering. Preaching on July 25 at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Wisconsin, the cardinal encouraged married couples to embrace their vocation as a path to holiness. "The grace of Holy Matrimony is not an ideal to which only a few can aspire," he said, "but an objective reality, a supernatural gift, which leads husband and wife to seek each other's eternal salvation along the path of divine love." The cardinal concluded: "Let us be ready for martyrdom, if not the red martyrdom of blood, certainly the white martyrdom of faithful witness to Our Lord in the face of indifference, ridicule, and persecution." Cardinal Burke's appeal comes just two months before the Vatican's October meeting convened by Pope Leo XIV to celebrate the tenth anniversary of Amoris laetitia. In this exhortation, Pope Francis repeatedly uses the language of the "ideal" of marriage …More
The Archdiocese of Pamplona and Tudela, Spain, has distanced itself on August 5 from comments by one of its priests after he called for the "reconquest of Morocco and its conversion to Christianity" following the invasion into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta. In a statement, the archdiocese said Rev. Javier Aizpún's remarks were "strictly personal opinions" that "neither represent nor are shared in any way by this diocesan Church." The controversy stemmed from a post on X.com in which Aizpún, parish priest of San Juan Evangelista in Huarte and a canon of Pamplona Cathedral, wrote: "May Our Lady of Africa, patron saint of Ceuta, inspire the reconquest of Morocco and its conversion to Christianity. May we finish what Queen Isabella the Catholic left undone." In subsequent posts, he also called for Spain to "bombard Rabat" and "open fire if necessary" in response to the mass crossing of invaders into Ceuta. Archbishop Florencio Roselló sought an explanation from Rev. Aizpún, describing the …More
This priest should really have known how offensive his remarks were. Apparently he was under the impression that he was a priest in the Catholic Church where Jesus Christ ordered His followers to “go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father the Son and the Holy Ghost. No. He’s a Conciliarist! What is absolutely amazing, though, is that Conciliarists who call themselves Catholic, are so indoctrinated they believe the SSPX is schismatic.
1) Wisdom 14:12; The invention of idols was the beginning of fornication; their discovery, the corruption of life. a) Ezekiel 8:6; He said to me, “Son of man, do you see what these people are doing—the great abominations that the house of Israel is committing here to drive me away from my Sanctuary? You will yet see other great abominations.” b) Revelation 2:14; I have this against you: you tolerate some there who hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel so that they might eat food sacrificed to idols and commit fornication. c) After leading the flock into the sin of idolatry, in the next step they introduce Fiducia Supplicans, which paves the way for fornication. d) As a result, many Altars, Churches, and Liturgical Ornaments of the Catholic Church around the world are being decorated with LGBTQ colors. 2) Obedience as an instrument to obtain adherence to iniquity: a) The only excuse the Church authorities have to impose …More

[Saint Catherine of Genoa ~ XV-XVI Century; born: Genoa, Republic of Genoa/ died: Genoa, Republic of Genoa; (aged 62-63); Mystic; Spiritual Writer] Chapter XIII ~ HOW THE SOULS IN PURGATORY ARE NO LONGER IN A STATE TO MERIT, AND HOW THEY REGARD THE CHARITY EXERCISED IN THE WORLD FOR THEM. IF the souls in purgatory could purge themselves of their stains by contrition, they would in a single instant discharge all their debt, so ardent and so impetuous an act would they make, seeing in so clear a light the effects of the impediment which hinders them from attaining to their end, which is God, the object of their love. And be assured that the souls have to pay what they owe even to the uttermost farthing : this is God's decree, to satisfy the demands of justice. As to the souls themselves, they have no choice of their own in the matter ; they see nothing but God's will ; nor do they wish otherwise, because they have been so determined. They would not care for alms contributed by the living …More
"THESE souls are so closely united, so transformed into the will of God, that in all things they are satisfied with His most holy decree ; and were a soul presented before God with ever so little to purge away, it would suffer grievous hurt and a torment worse than ten purgatories."
