Pope Leo XIV granted an Apostolic Blessing to Fr John Bourbeau FSSPX and the faithful of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) at Saint Anthony of Padua Chapel in Mount Holly, North Carolina. The blessing commemorates the 25th anniversary of the chapel’s founding. The Vatican document is dated November 18 and signed by Cardinal Konrad Krajewski. The chapel is in the Charlotte area. Many Catholics gather there for Mass because Bishop Michael Martin of Charlotte curtailed most celebrations of the Mass in the Roman rite in diocesan parishes. He now permits the Roman rite only in a single diocesan chapel with capacity for approximately 350 people. St. Anthony’s community was formed in the early 1980s and spent 19 years worshipping in various temporary locations, including a private residence, a rented floor of a bank building, and facilities of the Junior League of Charlotte. In 2000, community members identified a church building for sale. The first Mass in the new chapel took …More
In the name of the devil! Prevost, who denies the faith on matters of faith and morals, and who apostatizes by allowing himself to be bewitched by a shaman and who supports the false gods of false religions, cannot impart blessings in the name of Christ, this impostor who publicly denies the Holy Trinity.
This appears to be a Blessing of the Chapel, however, not by Pope Leo. It also does not mean the SSPX sacraments have been given full approval, as they are technically in schism with the RCC. Just like one cannot be “Just a little pregnant” , this partial schism equates to flat out schism with the RCC. Now, if you talk to the guys who just went to Scotland, they will agree that belonging to a heretic Church, far out trumps the order of sin. It is the greatest abomination that pollutes the Holy Eucharist. This was and still is the thought of the Eastern and Oriental Orthodox Church today. Remember, Pope Paul VI put in writing, with his very own signature, that the “Sacraments” of the Eastern Orthodox Church are VALID, because they have an Apostolic Line of Succession. Nice try SSPX
The "miracle of Empel" and the Immaculate Conception: "The Dutch shouted again and again 'God is Spanish!'" “The Tercios Do Not Surrender “ is a novel based on the chronicles of Captain Alonso Vázquez and the real-life exploits of the Tercios under the command of Francisco Arias de Bobadilla. An event that further solidified—if any were needed—Spain's devotion to the Immaculate Conception. What do we know about Captain Alonso Vázquez, and why did he write down his account? We know a great deal about him: he was a soldier who served the crown from 1575 until his death in 1615. He spent many years in Flanders and France and participated, among other feats, in the relief of Ireland in 1601. Throughout his life, he also cultivated his second vocation: writing. His work, sixteen books in total, in which he recounts his extensive military experience throughout Europe, was not published until after his death, during the reign of Philip IV. Bobadilla was a man of principle, deeply aware that …More

For many in the more traditional Protestant communities, believing Mary to be the Theotokos (Greek, “God-bearer“), or Mother of God, is an area of agreement with Catholics. If Jesus Christ is truly God, then Mary is truly the Mother of God. But millions of others in Fundamentalist and Evangelical communities would not join Catholics in celebrating the Mary as the Mother of God. The objections to this great dogma of the Faith are essentially three. The first objection states the obvious. Nowhere in Sacred Scripture are the words “Mother of God” used to describe Mary. “If this doctrine were as important as Roman Catholics claim, would not at least one of the inspired writers have used the term?” The second objection is rooted in Luke 1:43—a text used by Catholics to demonstrate a biblical foundation for the Theotokos—wherein Elizabeth “exclaimed [to Mary] with a loud cry, ‘Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! And why is this granted me, that the …
Leo XIV joined the audience at the Vatican’s 2025 “Concert with the Poor” in the Paul VI Hall featuring Michael Bublé, his band, the choir of the Diocese of Rome, conducted by Mons. Marco Frisina, and the Nova Opera Orchestra. The Pope expressed his pleasure to be able to partake in the joy of listening to music, which is “not a luxury for the few, but a divine gift accessible to everyone.”
May God grant you a joyful and blessed Feast of the Immaculate Conception! Related: Paying the Price for the Immaculate Conception by Father Daniel Couture, from the series ‘KNow Mary, KNow Jesus’ [Video] [Audio Only] Although the Church’s faith in the Immaculate Conception is of apostolic origin, the dogma was explicitly defined with infallible petrine authority (ex cathedra) on December 8, 1854. In his apostolic constitution, Ineffabilis Deus, Pope Pius IX teaches: “We declare, pronounce, and define that the doctrine which holds that the most Blessed Virgin Mary, in the first instance of Her conception, by a singular grace and privilege granted by Almighty God, in view of the merits of Jesus Christ, the Savior of the human race, was preserved free from all stain of original sin, is a doctrine revealed by God and therefore to be believed firmly and constantly by all the faithful.” Hence, if anyone shall dare — which God forbid! — to think otherwise than as has been defined by us …
The wicked anti-Catholic and homosexual activist Jorge Bergoglio has bequeathed money to the apostate Argentinian nun Lucía Caram, who promotes homosexuality, rebels against God's natural laws, and denies all Catholic doctrine. 2 Corinthians 11:13-16 Such people are false apostles, dishonest workers who masquerade as apostles of Christ. And no wonder! Even Satan masquerades as an angel of light. Therefore, it should not be considered unusual that his servants also disguise themselves as ministers of righteousness. Their end will be appropriate to their deeds.
Pope Francis, who died in April 2025, set aside funds in his will for a humanitarian project run by Dominican sister Lucía Caram, she said in remarks reported by Spanish media. According to Sister Caram, the funds were explicitly intended to support medical care in war-affected areas of Ukraine, in particular the purchase of ambulances. The exact amount designated in the pope’s will has not been disclosed. Sister Caram said that Francis had expressed support for her work on several occasions: “I never imagined it would come in this form.” Born in Argentina, Sister Caram has lived in Spain for about thirty years. She became widely known for her homosexual activism. She stated that Our Lady was “not a virgin”, supported homosexual "marriages" and said that homosexual sins are “love.” In 2023, she acknowledged that Francis is a friend of active homosexuals and transvestites, and claimed that he had recently “appointed a homosexual as prefect of a very important Vatican dicastery,” …More
Bishop Athanasius Schneider urged the faithful during a talk on Saturday not to bow to the modern idols that have crept into the Catholic Church such as LGBT ideology or the climate change agenda.
Mon Oct 6, 2025 - 8:54 pm EDTTue Oct 7, 2025 - 6:08 am EDT PITTSBURGH (LifeSiteNews) — Bishop Athanasius Schneider urged the faithful during a talk on Saturday not to bow to the modern idols that have crept into the Catholic Church such as LGBT ideology or the climate change agenda. Speaking at the Catholic Identity Conference (CIC) in Pittsburgh on October 4, the auxiliary bishop of Astana, Kazakhstan, emphasized that in a period when the First Commandment is often rejected even by the Church hierarchy, Catholics must cling to Our Lord Jesus Christ and not offer incense to modern idols such as political correctness, “Mother Earth,” icebergs, and the LGBT ideology. Schneider’s bold statement comes just over a month after the sacrilegious LGBT pilgrimage at the Vatican in early September that saw thousands of so-called “LGBT Catholics,” many with their same-sex “partners,” processing into St. Peter’s Basilica, and about a week after Pope Leo’s blessing of an iceberg during a Vatican …

From enemy of the people to gossipmonger: this … The measure of intolerance is not seen in slogans about freedom, but in the way we react when someone dares to think differently from our group, whether small or large. It is there that, beneath the surface of good intentions, an ancient temptation emerges: turning an opponent into an enemy, not refuting him but eliminating him from the public space, demanding that “someone” silence him on our behalf. And this is exactly what Andrea Grillo has done in these hours, publishing against Silere non possum a delirious text in which he claims that we attacked Sister Linda Pocher, when in reality the two authors – a priest and a religious sister – simply offered an analysis of her interview with La Repubblica. In that interview the sister made statements that had nothing to do with the Summary of the Study Commission on the Female Diaconate, signed by Cardinal Giuseppe Petrocchi. It is a precise analysis, read by millions of readers, …More
Dal nemico del popolo al pettegolo: così si … La misura dell’intolleranza non si vede negli slogan sulla libertà, ma nel modo in cui reagiamo quando qualcuno osa pensarla diversamente dal nostro gruppo, piccolo o grande che sia. È lì che, sotto la superficie delle buone intenzioni, affiora una tentazione antica: trasformare l’avversario in nemico, non confutarlo ma eliminarlo dallo spazio pubblico, chiedere che “qualcuno” lo zittisca al posto nostro. Ed è esattamente ciò che, in queste ore, ha fatto Andrea Grillo, pubblicando contro Silere non possum un testo delirante in cui sostiene che avremmo attaccato suor Linda Pocher, quando in realtà i due articolisti - un presbitero e una religiosa - hanno offerto semplicemente una analisi della sua intervista a La Repubblica. In quella intervista la suora affermava cose che nulla avevano a che vedere con il testo Sintesi della Commissione di Studio sul Diaconato Femminile, firmato dal cardinale Giuseppe Petrocchi. Si tratta …More
