Gänswein: FSSPX "More Hardline Than Ever"; Leo XIV Should Ease Latin Mass Restrictions

On 2 July, Archbishop Georg Gänswein, the Nuncio to the Baltic States, spoke to Corriere.it about the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X and the Mass in the Roman rite. Key quotes, slightly shortened
- The FSSPX has become even more hardline. It's unbelievable - truly sad.
- Their understanding of tradition is not tradition. They freeze Catholic tradition at Pius XII. After that, they see nothing but errors.
- Benedict XVI lifted the excommunications of the four bishops as a father seeking peace. It was an outstretched hand they refused. The radical faction prevailed—they rejected reconciliation then and still do.
- They are like the Protestants of five centuries ago. Cardinal Müller is right.
- I am very disappointed. Grace can do anything over time, but for now I see even greater distance and deeper hardening than before.

- There are faithful who celebrate the Latin rite—for example, the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter—and they do …barrachd

"An Explanatory Note Cannot Excommunicate"

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 …barrachd

A Fraternal Correction of a Flawed Argument: On Heresy, Jurisdiction, and the Limits of Private Judgment

This article is a response to S.D. Wright’s piece, “Church teaching says you can’t be excommunicated by a heretic,” published at LifeSiteNews. The article can be read here: https://www.lifesitenews.com/analysis/leo-xiv-cant-excommunicate-the-sspx-or-its-bishops-heres-why/ A Surprising Publication I will confess that I did a double take when I saw this piece published at LifeSiteNews. I have followed that outlet for some years, and I hold a genuine respect for much of the work they do in defense of the Faith and of authentic Catholic life. That is precisely why I write this response — not in a spirit of antagonism, but out of a sincere concern for theological clarity at a moment when clarity matters enormously. The article in question, written by S.D. Wright, carries a bold and arresting title: “Church teaching says you can’t be excommunicated by a heretic.” Bold titles are fine — I am not averse to them myself. The problem is when the argument beneath the title fails to deliver what the …

I think it's a difficult argument to make definitively and decisively. Therefore, it is much more correct to say the so-called "excommunications" are completely without effect since the troubling state of the Church--awash in heterdoxy and a hierarchy sympathetic to it, a Church that rubber stamps the Consecration of Communist Chinese Bishops without a second thought and under the guidelines of a secret agreement with them, a Church that smiles upon sexual deviancy, receives such deviants in audience, writes books about Our Lord (Tucho) that are shamefully immoral, issues encyclicals that cause moral confusion in the universal Church, and more-- such so-called "excommunications' are without effect since a state of necessity and emergency are absolutely clear....far more so today than they were in 1988.

New English Bishop: Orthodox on Morals, Silence Since Francis-Controversies

On July 2, Leo XIV appointed a rather orthodox and Catholic priest to an important English see. Rev. Stephen Wang, 59, currently rector of the Venerable English College in Rome, was named Bishop of Arundel and Brighton.
Rev. Wang is the founder of Sycamore, one of the most widely used Catholic evangelization programmes in the English-speaking world.
He is believed to be the first English Catholic bishop with Chinese ancestry. His father is Chinese, with family roots in Guangdong Province in southern China. Wang himself was born in London and grew up in Harpenden, Hertfordshire.
PhD on Happiness
He was ordained a priest of the Archdiocese of Westminster in 1998 and has a PhD from Cambridge on human happiness. His later published book developed this research into Aquinas and Sartre: On Freedom, Personal Identity, and the Possibility of Happiness.
He also earned a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from the University of Reading.

Bishop Crowned As "Protector of the Buddha's Teaching"

On June 13, Bishop Olivier Schmitthaeusler, Apostolic Vicar of Phnom Penh, accepted the title Akka Mahā Upāsaka Buddha Sāsanūpatthambhakr ("Elder Great Lay Supporter and Upholder of the Buddha's Dispensation") at the temple Wat Botum Vatey in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
The title was conferred by Supreme Patriarch Nun Nget of Cambodia's Mohanikaya Buddhist order. It recognized more than twenty years of cooperation with Buddhist institutions, educational work, and social projects.
Bishop Schmitthaeusler stated at the ceremony: "When religions journey together, the world will witness true peace."
Already in 2022, Bishop Schmitthaeusler had received the title "Maha Upasaka" ("Great Lay Benefactor") from Cambodia's Buddhist authorities.
Several days after the June 2026 ceremony, Cambodia's King awarded Bishop Schmitthaeusler the Grand Cross of the Royal Order of Cambodia.

How can you argue with Vatican II? It says that "Buddhism teaches a path by which men, in a devout and confident spirit, can either reach a state of absolute freedom or attain supreme enlightenment by their own efforts or by higher assistance." But the Council neglected to tell us that this path of Buddhism avails nothing as far as salvation is concerned. Oops!

Cardinal at "Mass and Blessing" of Golden Homosexual Jubilee

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."

African Priest Baptized 175 People the Day Before He Was Shot Dead

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.

"Reconciliation": FSSPX Priests Must Accept “Legitimacy of Novus Ordo”

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 …barrachd

Bishop Defends Football Screening in Church: Bishop Jean-Louis de Metz-Noblat of Verdun, France, defended in a July 1 video the decision to broadcast the France–Norway football match inside the church of Ligny-en-Barrois. "There were undoubtedly a few cheers, a song of celebration, and some applause, just as happens when a concert is held in a church or when an exhibition takes place in a church. Some people have said to me, 'But a church is a place for prayer.' I dare to hope that, because they were in the church, a number of people were able to pray for the success of their favorite team. I also dare to hope that, by entering a church, some of them discovered a place where perhaps they had never set foot before."

The recent excommunications of even the faithful who “formally adhere” to the SSPX are cruel and unnecessary — of course — but they are also a perfect reflection of what Rome actually believes. In other words, this is not the result of the simple failings of human nature to which we are all subject: this is the plan for the Synodal Church, which is designed to exclude those who insist on adhering to the immutable Catholic Faith. Thanks be to God for this clarifying moment afforded by the unjust punishments!
This fundamental reality of Rome’s opposition to the immutable Catholic Faith is now more evident than ever to the entire world, but it has been clear to the SSPX for decades. In this light, the SSPX’s “Apostolic Mandate” for the episcopal consecrations appears not only appropriate but entirely necessary:

Thanks Be to God: Why the SSPX Excommunications Bring New Clarity - The Remnant Newspaper

The headlines are about excommunications. Here's what those excommunications reveal. Robert Morrison argues that the Vatican's unprecedented treatment of the SSPX has unintentionally stripped away decades of ambiguity, exposing a Church that preaches "radical inclusion" while excluding those who refuse to abandon the immutable Catholic Faith. Far more than a reaction to episcopal consecrations, he contends, this is a defining moment of clarity for Catholics everywhere. “If we come to be declared excommunicated and schismatic, this would not mean that we seek such a sanction or rejoice in it, for it would be objectively unjust. It is one thing to rejoice in receiving a new humiliation to offer to God, and it is quite another to rejoice (in a spirit of defiance) in an evil and an objective injustice that causes scandal to the whole Church. Caritas non gaudet super iniquitatem — ‘charity rejoiceth not in iniquity.’” (Fr. Davide Pagliarani, March 7, 2026) Long before Cardinal Víctor Manuel …

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 20,24-29.
Thomas, called Didymus, one of the Twelve, was not with them when Jesus came.
So the other disciples said to him, "We have seen the Lord." But he said to them, "Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands and put my finger into the nailmarks and put my hand into his side, I will not believe."
Now a week later his disciples were again inside and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, although the doors were locked, and stood in their midst and said, "Peace be with you."
Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here and see my hands, and bring your hand and put it into my side, and do not be unbelieving, but believe."
Thomas answered and said to him, "My Lord and my God!"
Jesus said to him, "Have you come to believe because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed."

Aus dem Heiligen Evangelium nach Johannes - Joh 20,24-29.
Thomas, der Didymus – Zwilling – genannt wurde, einer der Zwölf, war nicht bei ihnen, als Jesus am Abend des ersten Tages der Woche kam.
Die anderen Jünger sagten zu ihm: Wir haben den Herrn gesehen. Er entgegnete ihnen: Wenn ich nicht das Mal der Nägel an seinen Händen sehe und wenn ich meinen Finger nicht in das Mal der Nägel und meine Hand nicht in seine Seite lege, glaube ich nicht.
Acht Tage darauf waren seine Jünger wieder drinnen versammelt und Thomas war dabei. Da kam Jesus bei verschlossenen Türen, trat in ihre Mitte und sagte: Friede sei mit euch!
Dann sagte er zu Thomas: Streck deinen Finger hierher aus und sieh meine Hände! Streck deine Hand aus und leg sie in meine Seite und sei nicht ungläubig, sondern gläubig!
Thomas antwortete und sagte zu ihm: Mein Herr und mein Gott!
Jesus sagte zu ihm: Weil du mich gesehen hast, glaubst du. Selig sind, die nicht sehen und doch glauben.
