The Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith published today the procedure for the “reconciliation” with the Vatican of former clergy of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX), together with a separate procedure for lay faithful. (Full Italian document below). The procedure, effective July 1, 2026, provides that a priest who has decided to leave the FSSPX must be willing to accept the Second Vatican Council and the “legitimacy of the Novus Ordo Missae,” while remaining attached to the usus antiquior (traditional Roman rite). The priest must: - Find an Ordinary (a diocesan bishop, a major superior of a clerical pontifical institute of consecrated life, a clerical pontifical society of apostolic life, etc.) who is willing to receive him ad experimentum. - Write, in his own hand, a letter to the Holy Father introducing himself and requesting the remission of the censures incurred either because he received priestly ordination from an excommunicated or otherwise canonically irregular …níos mó
On 2 July, the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, led by Cardinal Víctor Fernández, issued a decree and an accompanying explanatory note on the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX). InfoVaticana.com notes the two documents carry very different legal weight. The decree declares that the six bishops directly involved in the 1 July illicit episcopal consecrations have incurred latae sententiae excommunication. Canon law permits only a declaratory decree or judicial sentence to declare such penalties, limiting the decree's legal effect to those six bishops. The explanatory note goes further, stating that FSSPX priests are in schism, and that lay faithful who formally adhere to the schism incur excommunication. However, the note has no penal force because it is neither a law, a penal precept, nor a declaratory decree or judicial sentence, but simply a doctrinal explanation. Furthermore, latae sententiae excommunication requires an individual assessment of culpability and cannot …níos mó
The explanatory note said "The Church, as a loving mother, will receive with sincere affection and pastoral solicitude all those who desire to return to full communion." Has yet to happen for SSPX. Let's hope the Modernists will allow full communion with real Catholics!
This is the side the trump administration supports. We are on the side of Ukraine. Then admitting they were playing with Putin when he also admitted, we are not intermediators! Their talks were as empty as their heads. Like the donkey with Balaam, GOD opened their mouth and made them reveal their true intentions and what they were really doing and how they thought. GOD sure is awesome! Waited a long time for them to reveal who and what they were. And now I thank GOD for what he made them reveal of themselves and their true intentions. Can't kill Putin. Tried many times as well with coups in Russia. Now they are all planning a big one. Forgetting this only brings people closer together.
The Catholic Church in the Central African Republic is mourning the loss of Father Crépin Martial Monga-Hadassi, 35, who was killed on June 29 while serving one of the country's most conflict-ridden regions. His funeral was celebrated on July 1 at Saint Peter Claver Cathedral in Bangassou. Just one day before his death, on June 28, Father Crépin baptized 175 people in one of his final pastoral acts. On the morning of June 29, he accompanied the newly baptized to the Mbomou River before returning to St. John the Baptist Parish in Zémio, where he served as vicar. Later that evening, at around 6:43 p.m., the priest was ambushed while returning to the parish rectory. The attack reportedly took place on the road between a Central African Armed Forces (FACA) checkpoint and the parish residence. He was fatally shot, while a female parishioner traveling with him was seriously wounded. The identity of the attackers remains unknown, and no group has claimed responsibility. Bishop Aurelio Gazzera …níos mó
Why has the Vatican said so little about the persecution and murder of Christians in Africa? Why so much attention to the orchestrated “schism” with the SPPX? May Fr. Crepin through the mercy of God rest in peace.
“Great sorrow for this schismatic act that wounds the Church. My hope is that dialogue can be resumed”
From Delia Gallagher: Vatican Secretary of State, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, says he is “deeply pained” by the SSPX ordinations today. “It is a schismatic act” he does not know when or how the excommunications will take place. “Despite this serious wound I hope that we can find ways to resolve this problem”
The Vatican's Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith on July 2 issued a decree excommunicating the six bishops of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX). The decree also warns clergy and faithful not to adhere to the Fraternity's schism, stating that doing so incurs automatic excommunication. An accompanying explanatory note says that all attempts since Pope Paul VI to reconcile the movement founded by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre with the Catholic Church have failed. The recent episcopal consecrations against the will of Pope Leo XIV, it says, "constituted the offense of schism, with the resulting canonical consequences for the sacred ministers and lay faithful involved." "The sacred ministers belonging to the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X are in schism and must therefore be considered schismatics." Lay faithful who formally adhere to the Fraternity are likewise to be considered schismatics and excommunicated. The FSSPX clergy administer "the sacraments illicitly": "The …níos mó
Very old argument but stands the test. If St. Paul were here which Mass would he attend? Another old argument but immutable, if you defect from any de fide teachings or deny dogma, you are excommunicated. Mr. Fernandez, Mr. Prevost, Mr. Matteo, Mr. Kennedy your table is ready in the smoking section.
Monday June 29, no change. Today July 2, Mainstream Media is talking schism. Who caused the schism? The pope could easily consent to the consecrations. He did not. His globalist predecessor, removed the automatic excommunication from Marko Rupnik (and gave him a parish) after Rupnik abused nuns. Will the globalist Leo bring the SSPX back into communion or will Leo XIV push his globalist-inspired schism?
The Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X. (FSSPX) “sincerely regrets that, due to exceptional circumstances, these consecrations had to be conferred without the authorization of the Holy Father”, the general house said in a communiqué after the episcopal consecrations today in Ecône, Switzerland. “It particularly regrets that the Society’s Superior General did not have the opportunity to meet personally with His Holiness Pope Leo XIV to explain, in a spirit of filial devotion, the grave reasons that made this ceremony necessary.” At the same time, the statement speaks of a profound joy inspired by these episcopal consecrations. #newsVluwxevdyp

On June 13, two homosexual men celebrated a “Mass of Thanksgiving for 50 Years of Friendship, Partnership, and Commitment in the Pursuit of Justice” at Holy Apostles Church in London, England. About 150 relatives and friends of the hardened sinners attended. The two homosexual men, Julian Filochowski and Martin Pendergast, established the Diocese of Westminster's "pastoral ministry" for homosexuals in 1999. The principal celebrant was Fr. Jim O'Keefe, a longtime "friend" of the homosexuals. The concelebrants were Bishop John Crowley, emeritus of the Diocese of Middlesbrough; Bishop John Rawsthorne, emeritus of the Diocese of Hallam; and Canon Chris Vipers, a priest of Holy Apostles Parish. Cardinal Timothy Radcliffe, OP, delivered the homily. While celebrating homosexuality, he also blasphemed against the Holy Trinity, declaring: "I would add that the Son is the friend and the Spirit is friendship. So every true, faithful, well-lived friendship is a sharing in the life of God." After …níos mó

Songs for Saint Rupert [According to the Life of Hildegard by Gottfried of Disibodenberg and Theoderich of Echternach, the call to Move from Disibodenberg came to Hildegard in a vision, accompanied by a bout of illness in which she remained until she consented to reveal what the vision had said to her. The place to which she felt called was the Rupertsberg, or Mount St Rupert, a site on a large hill overlooking what is now the modern town of Bingen in the Rhine Valley. At the time of Hildegard’s move in 1150, there was just an old ruined chapel dedicated to the eighth-century saint, while the rest of the area was cultivated as a vineyard. Rupert’s original monastery had been destroyed …níos mó

Vatican Responded "Good Luck" to the Catholic State Idea: Today, Bishop Bernard Fellay FSSPX ordained five priests and three deacons in Écône. During his homily, he claimed "a small incident" witnessed by all the leading figures of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, including the Prefect, the Secretary and the Undersecretary. The FSSPX said that they want to win over individuals but also societies for Christ. The alleged response from the Congregation: "Good luck." Monsignor Fellay comments: "They no longer believe it."
Mgr Fellay reports this highly revealing anecdote about the mindset of the Roman authorities. When the FSSPX tells them that it wants to work to bring souls and societies back to God, these same authorities say to it, "Good luck!" They no longer believe in it!
Run of Saint Andrew: Amalfi's Centuries-Old Tradition. The spectacular 'Run of Saint Andrew' in Amalfi, Italy, is part of a centuries-old celebration honoring Saint Andrew, the city's patron saint. According to local tradition, on 27 June 1544, as the fleet of the Ottoman corsair Khayr al-Din Barbarossa threatened Amalfi, the townspeople prayed for Saint Andrew's intercession. A violent storm scattered the enemy ships, and the city was spared. Each year on 27 June, bearers carry the silver reliquary bust of Saint Andrew at a run up the 62 steps of Amalfi Cathedral, commemorating this traditional account of the city's deliverance.
La spettacolare "Corsa di Sant'Andrea": cinque secoli di fede e tradizione: Secondo la tradizione, il 27 giugno 1544, mentre la flotta del celebre corsaro ottomano Khayr ad-Din Barbarossa minacciava Amalfi, gli abitanti implorarono l'intercessione di Sant'Andrea.
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.
