Early Resignation of Moscow Archbishop Paolo Pezzi

Pope Leo XIV has accepted the resignation of Archbishop Paolo Pezzi from the Archdiocese of the Mother of God in Moscow - an unusual move given that Archbishop Pezzi is only 65 years old and the Vatican offered no explanation for his departure.
InfoVaticana.com writes that the departure is "primarily due to accumulated personal burnout/exhaustion after years in an especially demanding post."
Leo XIV appointed Bishop Nikolai Dubinin, O.F.M. Conv., auxiliary bishop of Moscow, as Apostolic Administrator of the archdiocese.
Monsignor Pezzi has led the Moscow archdiocese since 2007. He has been a Russian citizen since 2011.
In January 2026, he declined to sign a statement by Christian and Protestant leaders in Russia concerning the alleged oppression of Christians in several countries, including Ukraine. A spokesman stated that Archbishop Pezzi did not sign because he had no authority to comment officially on foreign states.
Archbishop Pezzi’s ecclesial background is in the Priestly Fraternity …More

12 Ways to Overcome a Scrupulous Conscience

DIFFICULT MORAL QUESTIONS: The good news is that scrupulosity is not incompatible with holiness. More good news is that the malady can be overcome. Here are 12 points of advice for doing so.
Most of us have experienced scruples in our spiritual life and some of us have found them spiritually crippling. St. Ignatius of Loyola
defines scruple as “when I freely decide that that is sin which is not sin.” The scrupulous conscience sees sin where there is none.
We should distinguish this from a sensitive or tender conscience. A tender conscience is a true conscience. It is sensitive to occasions of venial sin. For example, it avoids ever speaking contrary to what one believes to be true, even in small matters, so-called “white lies.” It avoids watching television shows that disrespect the Lord, his commandments or the Church, because one doesn’t want the images and blasphemies in one’s mind. It refrains from negativity, especially when speaking about others who are not present.
A scrupulous …

Prevost replaces the Gospel of Christ—which calls for the repentance and conversion of sinners—with a secular, Marxist liberation pseudo-theology

Caution: Prevost spreads his heresies.
Prevost exploits the Catholic faith by injecting Marxist liberation theology in the guise of a prayer intention
"You who sent us your beloved Son Jesus,
broken bread for the life of the world,
give us a new heart, hungry for justice and thirsty for fraternity.
May no one be excluded from the common table,
and may your Spirit teach us to see bread
not as an object of consumption,

but as a sign of communion and care."
St. Ambrose:
"Even heretics appear to possess Christ, for none of them denies the name of Christ. Still, anyone who does not confess everything that pertains to Christ does in fact deny Christ."

Remember, Catholic brothers, that the Church has decreed the specific prayer intentions for which we must—and are obliged to—pray whenever we pray for the intentions of the Roman Pontiff.
We are not to pray for the personal whims of the apostate Robert Prevost, which evidently contradict the immutable intentions stipulated by Holy Mother Church.
1. The exaltation of the Church
2. The propagation of the faith.
3. The extirpation of heresy
4. The conversion of sinners
5. Concord among Christian rulers and leaders
6. All other goods of the Christian people.

Transalpine Redemptorists declare 'sede vacante'

The Sons of the Most Holy Redeemer – commonly known as the “Transalpine Redemptorists” – have issued a declaration stating that “we cannot accept the current pretenders to the papacy from the time of the Second Vatican Council.”
The Transalpine Redemptorists were founded in 1987 with the blessing of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre. The founder, Fr Michael Mary, derives his holy orders from Lefebvre. The community operated on good terms with the SSPX for many years, until the majority of the community reconciled with the Vatican in 2008.
A community of nearly 30 members, “The Sons” have had operations in Scotland, USA and New Zealand. In recent years, they have experienced acrimonious relations with the bishop of Christchurch Diocese, NZ, who evicted them from the diocese in 2024.
In October 2025, the community issued a forceful open letter repudiating “the Synodal Church” and the reforms of Vatican II. While aspects of the October letter pointed towards the conclusion of a vacant See, …More

Once one decares sede vacante, there seems no way back. By what means does the sede become repletus? Does Rome have to return to 2008 when the Transalpine Redemptorists reconciled with it? Maybe Rome has to go back to 1965, or 33.
Through inspiration, wisdom or simple practicality, Abp Lefebvre canonically formed the SSPX to hold the charism of the Vetus Ordo and Vetus faith. They do not declare the sede vacant. They include the Pope and Local Ordinary in the Cannon, and obey every declaration of Rome to the extent it does not violate that previously approved charism.
When Rome returns to the Apostolic Faith, which it will with God's Grace, the SSPX does not have to change a thing. They can even help train the Synodal Priests in the Apostolic Faith they never knew.
Pope Leo holds the office of the Pope. To say otherwise is mere fancy. Leo does things which are not within the competence of the Pope. His role is the preservation and proclamation of the Apostolic Faith and Morals. When Leo …More

Denied Rumour: Mass in Saint Peter’s Basilica in the Roman Rite in October

The Ad Petri Sedem pilgrimage in the Roman Rite will take place from October 23 to 25 in Rome.
There is conflicting reporting about whether a Mass will be celebrated on Saturday, October 24, in Saint Peter’s Basilica, similar to the one in 2025 celebrated by Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke.
The official program on Summorum-Pontificum.org for the 2026 pilgrimage lists a Pontifical Mass at the Altar of the Chair in Saint Peter’s Basilica.
However, the president of Foederatio Internationalis Una Voce, Joseph Shaw, denied the report on X on May 2, writing: “I am told by the organisers that this is not true. Please pray that it will become true.”

The TRUTH about why Pope Francis and Pope Leo XIV are courting Muslims and have welcomed them into the Vatican to worship “their crescent moon,” while cardinals faithful to the Gospel are sent away.

1) The Muslim doctrine denies that Jesus was crucified on the cross. They teach that another person died in His place.
a) John 19:17–18, 23, 30: Carrying His own cross, He went out to the place called Calvary, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha, and there they crucified Him and two others, one on either side, with Jesus in the middle. After they had crucified Jesus, the soldiers took his garments,
dividing them into four parts, one for each soldier, and the tunic. The tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom.
b) John 19:30 When After Jesus had taken the vinegar, He said, “It is accomplished.” And bowing His head, He gave up His Spirit.
c) John 20:19-20; On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, while the doors of the place where the disciples were gathered were locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” After saying this, He showed them His HANDS and his SIDE. The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. …More

Becciu's lawyers accuse the Promoter of Justice of failing to comply with court orders

The lawyers of Cardinal Giovanni Angelo Becciu have denounced a “serious breach” by the Promoter of Justice of the Vatican for not fully delivering the documentation of the London property case, despite the express order of the Court of Appeal on March 17, in a statement sent directly to the French media Tribune Chrétienne.

The defense argues that the prosecution has omitted documents alleging their supposed irrelevance, which would constitute a direct violation of the right to defense and the principle of equality between the parties. According to lawyers Fabio Viglione and Maria Concetta Marzo, “nothing can be examined by the judge that has not been previously made available to the parties,” so any filtering of evidence compromises the validity of the process.
The complaint comes after the Court of Appeal of the State of the Vatican City decreed the total nullity of the trial and …

Gomez was vicar general in Tyler under Strickland, but was nevertheless the one who arranged clergy from the diocese to meet with Vatican investigators sent to assess Strickland’s leadership.

Leo XIV Appoints Bishop Who Assisted During Strickland’s Removal

Today, Leo XIV has appointed Monsignor John Gomez as Bishop of Diocese of Laredo, USA.
Born in Colombia in 1975, Monsignor Gomez is a priest of the Diocese of Tyler, a canon lawyer trained at the Gregorian in Rome.
He has little discernible public media footprint: no notable interviews, personal social-media presence, podcasts, or published ideological essays appear readily available online.
Bishop Joseph Strickland appointed him in 2015 as vicar general of Tyler, Texas.
The interesting wrinkle is that Monsignor Gomez remained after Bishop Strickland was removed: He served as delegate of the apostolic administrator from 2023–2025, then vicar general again under Bishop Gregory Kelly from 2025.
CatholicVote reported in June 2023 that Monsignor Gomez helped organize meetings between the Vatican visitators and diocesan clergy, religious, and laity during the Apostolic Visitation.
The Apostolic Visitation was requested by the new prefect of the Congregation for Bishops, then-Archbishop Robert …More

Ignorance or Bad Faith - on Leo XIV's Reception of Mrs Mullally

On 28 April, Don Nicola Bux, a liturgist close to Benedict XVI, commented on MessaInLatino.it regarding Leo XIV’s audience for Mrs Sarah Mullaly, who holds the title and costume of Archbishop of Canterbury. His text:
"There is a contradiction between the many Anglican pastors who have become Catholic priests and been incardinated into the ordinariates established by Benedict XVI, and the Pope’s message of good wishes delivered by Cardinal Koch to Sarah Mullaly, who is not a bishop because she is a woman and is not the Primate of Canterbury, as two-thirds of the Anglican Communion does not recognise her as such.'
What about the secretary of the Dicastery for Promoting Christian Unity, Monsignor Flavio Pace, who makes the sign of the cross while the Anglican bishop' imparts a blessing in the Clementine Chapel at the tomb of St Peter?
Did Koch and Pace not realise the falsity of their actions?
Whether out of ignorance or bad faith, they scandalise and confuse many Catholics and require …More

Robert Prevost maliciously trampled upon the male priesthood and the papacy—instituted by Christ—while wearing the mask of so-called "ecumenical dialogue." Saint Alphonsus Liguori teaches that when a priest sins, he does so out of malice, and his sin is equivalent to that of the apostate angels. Furthermore, this approach is unbiblical; for, while Jesus commanded us to go forth and preach the Good News of the Gospel, He did not instruct us to persist in pleading with obstinate heretics. Regarding the heretic, Scripture tells us that, after two admonitions, we must turn away from him, for he is perverted and stands condemned by his own rejection of the Gospel. He has rejected the Holy Spirit.
What Jesus taught us is that if someone does not receive the Gospel of Christ, we must shake the dust from our feet; for obstinacy is a sin of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit—it is a rejection of the Grace that God offers to those willing to repent and amend their ways, not to those who defy God. …More

A title like that fits practically any topic that might come to mind. The carbon tax, the fight against the economic decline caused by the authorities’ “rescue measures” in the area of migration, global warming, which is currently heading in a direction that threatens the planet with apocalyptic cold waves. One could go on and on with this list. This whole circus boils down to one thing: governments are serving us, on a silver platter, a solution to problems that would never have arisen in the first place without the active involvement of these very governments. It’s as simple as building a flail.
A flail is an agricultural hand tool used for threshing, the process of separating grains from their husks. It can also be used for military purposes being made in the same way as a threshing-flail but much stronger and furnished with iron spikes.
