Theologian Tück demands a clear stance against the Society of St. Pius X
"The Vatican must finally take a stand"
As long as the Society of St. Pius X does not clearly distance itself from anti-Judaism, there can be no reconciliation with the Catholic Church. The Vatican must finally take a clear stance on this, demands the dogmatic theologian Jan-Heiner Tück.
Prof. Dr. Jan-Heiner Tück (Professor of Dogmatics and the History of Dogma at the Faculty of Catholic Theology, University of Vienna): The debates or discussions have been ongoing for some time. The goal is to bring the traditionalist Society of St. Pius X back into full communion with the Catholic Church, thus averting a schism. So far, however, no real agreement has been reached because there have always been voices within the traditionalist …
He's a German in Vienna. That should be "enough said" when it comes to promoting progressivism. But he specializes in promoting all things Vatican II.

Archdiocese of Sassari - Official Website
The happy occasion of the 83rd Anniversary of the Feast of the Vow to the Blessed Virgin of Grace, coinciding with the celebration of the Diocesan Day of Prayer for Peace, is an opportunity to join spiritually with the Archdiocese of Sassari, which wishes to raise its praise to her who, in the hour of trial, never failed to turn her loving and caring gaze toward her children. My respectful thoughts go to the authorities, and I affectionately greet the priests, men and women religious, members of lay movements, and all who are participating in this most significant event for the entire local Church.
The war events that sadly marked the history of the 20th century have been a source of enormous suffering for humanity. Marian tradition reminds us of the devotion of the Catholic people who, in life's difficult moments, have not hesitated to entrust themselves to the Virgin Mary as …
So Tucho is against Francis...

Berlin female Protestant Pastor Celebrates "Poly Wedding" of Four Men.
Polygamy is illegal in Germany. A Berlin pastor claims to have blessed four men before God nonetheless. The Protestant church distances itself.
Berlin pastor Lena Müller has publicly revealed that she married four men in a "poly wedding"—sparking controversy. The church is distancing itself from the pastor's actions, stating that it was not a church wedding.
Müller, who has nearly 8,000 followers on her Instagram account, posted about her "first poly wedding" last weekend. She included pictures and a video of the ceremony, showing the four men. “Four young men said ‘I do’ to each other,” writes Müller. They placed themselves under God’s “colorful blessing” and chose the Bible verse “Love never fails.” “That they firmly believe in it was already clear in the preliminary discussions, when they spoke of the warmth, generosity, and openness in their polycule,” writes Müller.
The small church service took place as …
Berlinska protestantska pastorka Lena Müller je "blagoslovila" štiri moške in to poimenovala kot svojo "prvo poli poroko". Povedala je, da so se štirje homoseksualci podvrgli "pisanemu Božjemu blagoslovu" in izbrali verz "Ljubezen nikoli ne odpove". Cathcon komentira: "Logika blagoslavljanja česar koli, kadar se to zahteva, se ne razlikuje preveč od 'Fiducia Supplicans'."
Berlínska protestantská pastorka Lena Müllerová "požehnala" štyroch mužov a nazvala to svojou "prvou poly svadbou". Povedala, že štyria homosexuáli sa dali pod "farebné Božie požehnanie" a vybrali si verš "Láska nikdy nezlyhá". Cathcon to komentuje: "V tomto prípade sa jedná o manželstvo, ktoré sa uskutočnilo v roku 2015: "Logika požehnania čohokoľvek na požiadanie sa príliš nelíši od "Fiducia Supplicans".

Investigation of sexual abuse in Pope's old Diocese was severely deficient, superficial, and riddled with procedural errors
The Church admitted Prevost's negligence in the Lute case: “The preliminary investigation was a farce. Very poorly conducted. Many errors. Very superficial.”
In a meeting with the victims of the abusive priest Eleuterio Vásquez Gonzáles, Giampiero Gambaro, the Church's official representative in the case of the pedophile priest from Chiclayo, acknowledged on April 23, 2025, the serious irregularities in the ecclesiastical investigation conducted under the responsibility of the then Bishop of Chiclayo, Robert Prevost, now Pope Leo XIV, in 2022.
Gambaro, a canon lawyer appointed by the current Bishop of Chiclayo, Edison Farfán, as delegate to oversee the administrative penal process against Vásquez Gonzáles, openly admitted that the initial investigation was severely deficient, superficial, and riddled with procedural errors. This constitutes the first official …

This constitutes the first official confirmation of negligence in the Church's handling of the controversial Lute case.
“The preliminary investigation was a farce. Formally, it was more or less well done, with some formal errors, but oh well. And then the content of the investigation was... very... practically nonexistent, right? They practically asked similar questions to the complaints you filed, and the priest received practically no response. He didn't answer anything.”
Ecumenism at any cost

Modernist delight at rejection of Marian titles. They are all in favour of development but not if it means honour for Our Lady.
A new Vatican document on "Marian titles" clarifies Mary's role in the work of salvation. The document makes it clear: Mary is not venerated "alongside" Christ. This is an important ecumenical signal.
The "Doctrinal Note on Certain Marian Titles Relating to Mary's Participation in the Path to Salvation" has just been published. The Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, Cardinal Victor Fernández, signed the document. Pope Leo XIV approved it. It addresses the question of how to maintain a balance between Christ's unique mediation and Mary's participation in the work of salvation. And it rejects maximalist notions that ascribe to Mary a significance in salvation history that undermines or relativizes the position of Christ.
This is important for ecumenical reasons. Protestants repeatedly express the suspicion that the Catholic Church ascribes …
I'll add another comment here; take heart people, he who has written this 'rejection of Mary Co-redemptrix, is none other than dubious cardinal Tucho Fernandez, elected by anti-pope Bergoglio, therefore he's NOT a real CARDINAL -he's not even an ArcBishop - he does not have the 'assistance of the Holy Spirit'. This might well mean that all is NULL & VOID! Until the Curia in Vatican City clarifies the "Impeded See" and (false) abdication of (real) Pope Benedict XVI and the election of Leo XIV...it's all a .. river of words. Tucho, based on his known history, has a tendency to... not like WOMEN, (like many rainbowed clerics usurping and invading Vatican City). Is his natural mother alive? He must not have had a great relationship with her either....being what he shows to be publicly! Just observations... on Tucho's following the footsteps of Jorge B.
The real Holy Inquisition, and not that shitty office headed by Tucho, would have condemned him long ago.
For tomorrow.

Saint Odilo of Cluny and the origin of All Souls' Day
In the Catholic liturgy, November 2nd is dedicated to the commemoration of the faithful departed, one of the most profound expressions of Christian charity. But few remember that this date, now universal in the Church, has its origin in the monastic reform of the 11th century and in a man of faith: Saint Odilo of Cluny.
Saint Odilo, the Fifth Abbot of Cluny, lived between 962 and 1049, in an era marked by wars, famines, and superstitions. In the midst of a turbulent world, the Cluniac monasteries became beacons of prayer and Christian culture. Odilo understood that the monk's mission was not limited to divine praise, but also extended to the souls suffering in purgatory.
In 998, the holy abbot instituted a special day of prayer, fasting, and Mass for the dead in all monasteries dependent on Cluny. He decreed that it be celebrated on November 2nd, immediately after the Feast of All Saints, to unite the triumph of the blessed with the …

Artwork featuring Trump on the Cross will now be on display starting All Saints' Day
After being initially canceled, the artwork will now be shown for All Saints' Day in Basel, Switzerland, which redefines the boundaries between holiness and sin. "Saint or Sinner" by Mason Storm depicts Donald Trump on the Cross.
An artwork depicting US President Donald Trump on the cross will be shown in Basel, Switzerland, despite ongoing criticism. The responsible gallery, Gleis 4 from Zug, announced this on Friday. The internationally discussed work, "Saint or Sinner," by Mason Storm, will be on display behind glass for two weeks starting November 1st in Basel's art district.
The sculpture by the British artist depicts Trump in an orange prison jumpsuit. He is strapped to a white cross, reminiscent of a gurney used in the US for lethal injection executions. The work was originally scheduled to be shown in September in the hall of the former brasserie in the west wing of the train station. After fierce …
Seems as if the artist cares more about offending Trump & his supporters than the offense to God. gee isn't that the whole point of so-called "modern art"? To shock with ugliness instead of uplifting with beauty.
I’d prefer that those who post comments about this blasphemy would be concerned with the abuse of Christ’s cross, rather than than bang on about a politician.

Controversy surrounds a "Black Mass" on October 31 in a deconsecrated Church
An artistic event is causing a stir in Montpellier, as it is described as nothing less than a "Black Mass of Emotions" in the former chapel of the Saint Charles General Hospital (17th-18th centuries), which was deconsecrated and became the Maison des Choeurs (House of Choirs) in 2006. It is scheduled for October 31 at 7 p.m. While there is no desecration because the building is deconsecrated, and this event falls under the umbrella of artistic freedom (or even freedom of enterprise), the question of respect for the dead arises (Articles 16 et seq. of the Civil Code) since the building still contains graves – even if, ostensibly, the organizers do not intend to desecrate them (Article 225-17 of the Penal Code).
The event description announces, in no particular order: “A (de)secrated but repurposed space for a black mass of emotions, sounds, bodies, and lights; incantatory concerts with the eccentric Schlaasss,…

Archbishop Gänswein in new interview on why Benedict XVI resigned
He "never" considered the Papacy, emphasizes Georg Gänswein. In an interview, the nuncio to the Baltics talks about Benedict XVI, the pope's resignation on Rose Monday, and his work in Vilnius.
Georg Gänswein has denied any ambitions for the papacy. "I never considered that," the nuncio to the Baltics explained in an interview with the Catholic television station "K-TV." In the video released on Monday, the archbishop from the Black Forest explains: "That would be way too big."
Asked whether, as the Pope's private secretary, he hadn't sometimes thought he himself would have preferred to make a different decision, Gänswein explained that he couldn't recall any internal conflict with Pope Benedict XVI over his decisions. Only on the subject of sports did there appear to be a "friendly conflict": "He didn't like sports," Gänswein recalls. He, however, played sports as best he could. Benedict XVI always found it "a bit strange …

A premiere in the Vatican: Pope Leo XIV plans to meet on Friday for an in-depth discussion with around 2,000 Catholics who are committed to greater active participation of all believers within the Church. The event is part of the Holy Year event for so-called synodal teams and, according to the Vatican, the first joint step in the implementation phase of the World Synod.
This global Catholic reform project, initiated by Pope Francis (2013-2025), provisionally concluded last October with a final document. The guidelines contained therein are to be gradually integrated into the universal Church under the new Pope. Phases are planned at the local, national, and international levels. The final event will be a "general ecclesial assembly …
