Bishop Schneider promotes and celebrates the Mass in the Roman Rite, yet it is rarely celeberated in Kazakhstan, he told Adrian Milag in an online interview. Main points, video sequence below. - We have no altar girls in all Kazakhstan. It is banned. No women, no altar girls. - We have no Eucharistic ministers at all. - The only ordinary form to receive Holy Communion is kneeling and on the tongue, with the paten. There is no other possibility except for the sick. - Thanks be to God, our liturgies are very worthy… even in the Novus Ordo. - The people are pious and devoted. They don’t know the Latin Mass and some don’t even feel the necessity. If there would be a greater movement, it would be possible also. But until now we have not these considerable groups. - I celebrate in my private episcopal chapel the traditional Latin Mass and when I am teaching in the seminary, I also celebrate for the seminarians. - True ecumenism is that non-Catholics come back to the Church and embrace all …More
The way to interpret this is that Bishop Schneider believes that a reverent novus ordo is good enough for the faithful. Not good for his traditionalist credentials.
Bishop Schneider and Archbishop Vigano are among the few truly Catholic members of the hierarchy left in the Catholic Church. May Our Lady, Mediatrix of All Graces and Co-Redemptrix, continue to protect and keep them under Her Sacred Mantle.
Here's the architect of 'Traditionis Custodes.' In this video, Andrea Grillo launches into a delirious speech in support of the ordination of women. Just look at how impeccably “measured” he is, professionally speaking, and how reliable his argument sounds. He, the great champion of the fight against Summorum Pontificum and Benedict XVI.
He's making a logical argument. If it is acceptable for women to lead men in the private and public sphere, logically they can lead men in the ecclesial realm. The problem is that that it is unnatural for women to govern men in any sphere, domestic, public or ecclesial. 1 Cor 11:1-3.

Voice of "The Baroness" “A priest is a lover of God, a priest is a lover of men, a priest is a holy man because he walks before the face of the All-Holy. A priest understands all things, a priest forgives all things, a priest encompasses all things. The heart of a priest is pierced, like Christ’s, with the lance of love. The heart of a priest is open, like Christ’s, for the whole world to walk through. The heart of a priest is a vessel of compassion, the heart of a priest is a chalice of love, the heart of a priest is a trusting place of human and divine love. A priest is a man whose goal is to be another Christ; a priest is a man who lives to serve. A priest is a man who has crucified himself so that he too may be lifted up and draw all things to Christ. A priest is a man in love with God. A priest is a gift of God to man and of man to God. A priest is a symbol of the Word made flesh, a priest is the naked sword of God’s justice, a priest is the hand of God’s mercy, a priest is the …More
[The title is our and not of ONE PETER FIVE} Part IV The Brazilians: Bishop Geraldo de Proença Sigaud and Bishop Antonio de Castro Mayer Jerome Stridon April 5, 2025 Bishop Geraldo de Proença Sigaud Note from our PCOI website: We have only used a few excerpts from this publication. To read the full text, click here. The two Brazilian (and only non-European) members of the five-man steering committee of Coetus Intertionalis Patrum – the group of doctrinally conservative Council Fathers who sought to save what could be saved at Vatican II – were similar men in both their cursus and in their theological and political outlooks on the eve of Vatican II. Their responses to Rome’s letter soliciting their vota (wishes and suggestions) for Pope John XXIII’s ecumenical council mostly overlap. These were Archbishop Geraldo de Proença Sigaud of Diamantina and Bishop Antonio de Castro Mayer of Campos. While the latter became better known after the Council for being the only Latin-rite bishop …More
"Intermittent fasting" is just modern lingo for "not eating between meals. Our gluttonous culture demands food all the time. In the past, most people "fasted" from supper in the evening until breakfast {literally Break fast} in the morning. Some other thoughts: dieting is NOT fasting - something I tell my vegan friends at Lent. Plus it's ironic that people who have NO PROBLEM abstaining from food & drink under doctor's orders prior to a surgery balk at the easy Eucharistic fast prior to receiving Communion.
Not a priest whose view I particularly trust, as being perceived by me as being part of the perceived problem; however, is active on the blogosphere a long time, and I present his views here as an alternative take or critique regarding the supposed election of a new supposed pope..
There are so many insane, irrational, invalid and illegal happenings that have occurred in the last 100 years that only God knows what is really going on in the Catholic Church.
Pope Leo XIV published today an Apostolic Letter on archaeology. Marking 100 years since the founding of the Pontifical Institute of Christian Archaeology, he described the discipline as “indispensable for understanding Christianity”: “Revelation is always history. If this is so, then understanding Revelation requires an adequate knowledge of the historical, cultural and material contexts in which it took place,” he wrote. The Pontifical Institute, founded in 1925, is led by German priest Stefan Heid. He is world-famous for his research showing that the early Church celebrated Holy Mass ad orientem.
Pope to Pontifical Institute of Archaeology: “By concentrating on the physical traces of faith, archeology educates us in a theology of the senses: a theology that knows how to see, touch, smell and listen. Christian archeology is a school of the senses. By examining stones, ruins and other artifacts, it teaches us that nothing touched by faith is insignificant.
On this episode of The John Henry Westen Show is Father Michael Mary Sim, the founder and superior of the Sons of the Most Holy Redeemer (Transalpine Redemptorists) religious congregation. We discussed the community’s recent letter denouncing the “Synodal Church,” their bishop’s attempt to expel them, and more. First we briefly discussed the history of the Transalpine Redemptorists, who were founded under the auspices of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre and the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX), as well as their 2024 expulsion from their diocese in New Zealand. Then I asked Fr. Michael Mary about the congregation’s October open letter repudiating the “Synodal Church” and why they decided to write it now after suffering through Francis without making similar statements. The priest emphasized that what really led to that letter was Francis’ stunning remarks last year that “every religion is a way to arrive at God,” delivered to an ecumenical group of young people in Singapore. After that, the …More
