Thursday, July 16 – Weekday – Commemoration of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel – Saint Mary Magdalene Postel, Virgin, Third Order of Saint Franciscans
Jeudi 16 juillet - De la férie - Commémoraison de la Bienheureuse Vierge Marie du Mont-Carmel - Sainte Marie Madeleine Postel, Vierge, Tiers-Ordre franciscain
De la férie : messe du septième dimanche après la Pentecôte Sanctoral Commémoraison de la Bienheureuse Vierge Marie du Mont-Carmel C’est aujourd’hui la grande fête de l’ordre des Carmes. Sur le mont Carmel vivait une communauté de solitaires qui, par les soins de saint Berthold, vers 1150, fut constituée en ordre religieux mieux adapté aux coutumes de l’Occident. Fuyant devant les persécutions des Sarrasins, les moines émigrèrent plus tard en Europe. Dans la nuit du 15 au 16 juillet 1225, la Très Sainte Vierge ordonna au pape Honorius III d’approuver leur ordre (leçon du bréviaire). Les persécutions ne cessant de s’abattre sur ces religieux, saint Simon Stock, leur sixième général, implora de Marie un signe particulier de sa protection. Le 16 juillet 1251, la Très Sainte Vierge lui désigna le scapulaire comme insigne spécial de son maternel amour. De là le nom de fête du scapulaire donné à la fête de ce jour. Le scapulaire est un vêtement commun à de nombreuses congrégations religieuses …
What is the link between Our Lady of Fatima and Our Lady of the Mount Carmel, since she appeared wearing the Carmelite habit in one of the apparitions?
Our Lady of Mount Carmel, feast day of July 16 July 16
What is the link between Our Lady of Fatima and Our Lady of the Mount Carmel, since she appeared wearing the Carmelite habit in one of the apparitions? You know that at the Fatima apparitions Our Lady normally wore a white habit with a gold trim and a gold belt at her waist. But during an apparition to the children when the miracle of the sun occurred, she appeared wearing the Carmelite habit representing the glorious mysteries of the Rosary. Our Lady of Mount Carmel as she appeared at Fatima Our Lady does not do anything by chance, so the first question leads to another: What is the relation among Our Lady of the Carmel, the glorious mysteries and Our Lady of Fatima? The invocation of Our Lady of the Carmel originates from Mount Carmel in the Holy Land, where hermits used to live at the time of the Old Covenant praying and waiting for a Virgin-Mother who would come and bring salvation for the whole human race. They were following the example of Elias, the Prophet, who was at Mount Carmel …
LDS and Catholic Mobilization Could Crush Idaho’s Abortion Ballot Measure
LDS and Catholic Mobilization Could Crush Idaho’s Abortion Ballot Measure
Two churches in Idaho have the raw power to crush the abortion initiative likely headed for the ballot this November: the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter‑day Saints and the Roman Catholic Church. Yes, Idaho has roughly 560,000 voting‑age Protestants, the largest religious block in the state, but they’re spread across hundreds of denominations. Mobilizing them as a single force is nearly impossible. The LDS Church, on the other hand, is unified. Roughly 260,000 voting‑age adults in Idaho identify as Latter‑day Saints. Not all are conservative, but the faith leans strongly toward traditional family values and pro‑life positions. When the LDS Church speaks, its members listen. Catholics add another 145,000 voting‑age adults statewide. Like the LDS community, most Catholics lean conservative, even if a minority will support the abortion initiative. Put these two churches together, and you’re looking at more than 400,000 Idahoans who could be mobilized by their religious leaders. In …
Let us hope and pray that this is a win for the pro-life movement.
"Jan Paweł Lenga was born in what is now Ukraine in 1950. He was secretly ordained in 1980 due to the persecution of the Catholic Church by the Soviets."
Pologne: l'archevêque Lenga interdit de parole
Mgr Jan Paweł Lenga, ancien archevêque de Karaganda au Kazakhstan, qui a accusé publiquement le pape François d'hérésie, a reçu l'ordre de cesser de célébrer la messe en public. Le prélat de 69 ans a également été interdit de prêcher ou de parler aux médias. Les sanctions ont été imposées par le diocèse de Włocławek, dans le centre de la Pologne, où l'archevêque a pris sa retraite après avoir servi au Kazakhstan. Mgr Lenga a immédiatement défié la décision en donnant une interview à une télévision, dans laquelle il a insisté sur le fait qu'il continuerait à s'exprimer. L'abbé Artur Niemira, chancelier du diocèse de Włocławek, a déclaré à l'agence de presse catholique polonaise KAI que l'évêque local Mgr Wiesław Mering avait décidé d'imposer les mesures disciplinaires afin d'empêcher la propagation du scandale parmi les fidèles. Il a notamment expliqué que l'archevêque avait refusé de mentionner le nom du pape François au memento de la messe. La suspension restera en vigueur jusqu'à ce …
Jewish Messianism as the undercurrent of the errors of Russia — this was the light I hoped to shed with my Pax Orbis article of March 23, 2026 and which I now continue to explore.

True Messiah and false Messianism - Pax Orbis
Jewish Messianism as the undercurrent of the errors of Russia — this was the light I hoped to shed with my Pax Orbis article of March 23, 2026 and which I now continue to explore. by Jakob Soefting It took its starting point in Dr. Douglas Haugen’s recent book Saints of the Apocalypse (2026) and then developed into a sort of wildly annotated, selective bibliography of various works which have approached this subject. If we were to expand on the topic of Jewish Messianism in general, i.e., to leave the specifics of Fatima temporarily aside, I would suggest an even more recent book, one published after my article: True Israel and False Judaism (DeReggio1, 2026, 216 pp). This important and interesting study is by the prominent French SSPX theologian, Fr. Jean-Michel Gleize, who was for many years professor of ecclesiology and dogma at Écône. It is new only to the English-reading world. The original French edition was published in 2018 by a small publishing house, Éditions Iris. In 2022…
“Continue to pray the Rosary every day in honor of Our Lady of the Rosary, to obtain peace for the world and the end of the war; for only She can help you.” (Our Lady of Fatima, July 13, 1917)
The Third Apparition of Our Lady of Fatima | The Fatima Center
From time to time it is good to remind readers of the Secret of Fatima. Thus, we take the opportunity to provide the known text on this 109th anniversary of the third apparition of Our Lady of Fatima and the revelation of the Great Secret to the three shepherd children, The Great Secret of Fatima[1] The Great Secret given by Our Lady to the three shepherd children consists of three parts. 1. The First Secret The first part was fully revealed in Sister Lucia’s Third and Fourth Memoirs, written at the command of her bishop, in 1941. This first part of the Secret of Fatima describes what Lucia, Jacinta and Francisco saw on that day. From Sister Lucia’s memoirs: “She opened Her hands once more, as She had done during the two previous months. The rays of light seemed to penetrate the earth, and we saw as it were a sea of fire. Plunged in this fire were demons and souls [of the damned] in human form, like transparent burning embers, all blackened or burnished bronze, floating about in the …

« Voyez la confiance que l’Église accorde à Marie. Face à toutes les calamités publiques, elle invite invariablement les fidèles à solliciter sa protection par des neuvaines, des prières et des processions, ainsi que par des visites dans ses églises et ses sanctuaires. »

Great article!
The pope is Magisterial and Apostolic only when he interprets the Creeds, Councils and Catechisms rationally and not irrationally as at present.
Pagliarani Blocked Fellay's 2018 Deal: "Rome Has to Acknowledge Its Errors"
- from Gloria TV
Lionel : The General Chapter of the SSPX when Bishop Fellay was the Superior General of the SSPX in his Statement affirmed Feeneyite extra ecclesiam nulla salus, i.e EENS with no known exceptions. It was rejected by the Vatican. This was the end of dialogue at that time.

The Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) rejected a Doctrinal Declaration proposed by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF), which would have been followed by the granting of a canonical status, Monsignor Guido Pozzo told LaNuovaBq.it on July 7.
Lionel: The Vatican affirms Vatican Council II with a break; a schism with the Council of Florence 1442 on the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus(EENS), with no known exceptions. For the Vatican, theoretical possibilities are practical exceptions for EENS. This is irrational and not part of the deposit of the faith. It is political.

Wednesday, July 8 – Saint Elizabeth of Portugal, Queen and Widow, Franciscan Tertiary
Mercredi 8 juillet – Sainte Elisabeth de Portugal, Reine et Veuve, Tertiaire franciscaine
Sainte Elisabeth, veuve, reine de Portugal, tertiaire franciscaine. Sanctoral Sainte Elisabeth de Portugal, Reine et Veuve, Tertiaire franciscaine Élisabeth, de la famille royale d’Aragon, naquit l’an du Christ mil deux cent soixante et onze. En présage de sa future sainteté, ses parents, laissant de côté, contre l’usage, le nom de la mère et de l’aïeule, voulurent qu’on l’appelât au baptême du nom de sa grand’ tante maternelle, sainte Élisabeth, duchesse de Thuringe. Dès qu’elle vint au monde, on vit qu’elle serait l’heureuse pacificatrice des royaumes et des rois, car la joie causée par sa naissance réconcilia son père et son aïeul divisés jusque-là. Son père, admirant les heureuses dispositions qu’elle montrait en grandissant, disait que sa fille surpassait de beaucoup en vertu, à elle seule, toutes les femmes de la maison royale d’Aragon. Dédaignant la parure, fuyant le plaisir, adonnée au jeûne, aux prières continuelles, aux œuvres charitables, elle menait une vie si céleste que le …
