Leo XIV appoints a Jesuit - who defended homosexual "marriage" already in 2008 (!). Today, Pope Leo XIV has appointed Jesuit Fr. Giacomo Costa and Salesian Sr. Elena Massimi as undersecretaries of the General Secretariat of the Synod for five-year terms. Costa replaces Spanish Augustinian Archbishop Luis Marín de San Martín, appointed Prefect of the Dicastery for the Service of Charity in March. Sister Massimi succeeds French Sr. Nathalie Becquart, who had served as undersecretary since February 2021. Cardinal Mario Grech remains Secretary General. Costa defended homosexual “marriages” Fr. Giacomo Costa SJ's involvement in debates over the homosexual civil unions dates back to at least 2008. He was one of seven members of the bioethics study group credited with a June 2008 article in the Jesuit journal Aggiornamenti Sociali, titled “Recognizing Same-Sex Unions? A Contribution to the Discussion”. Costa was then managing editor of the journal. The study argued that legal recognition of …Magis
Latin Mass pilgrimage requested for months for Leo XIV's permission to celebrate Mass in St. Peter's Basilica. The request was eventually formally denied in August, before another request for prayer inside the basilica was also refused.
Leo XIV's Vatican makes false claims about the Latin Mass pilgrimage last weekend. Today, the Italian website 'Messa in Latino' has published three letters about the 15th annual Summorum Pontificum pilgrimage. They show that the Vatican Press Office gave a false explanation for the decision to deny Catholics permission to enter St. Peter’s Basilica. The organizers had asked for permission several times. In December 2025, Bishop Athanasius Schneider personally gave a request to Pope Leo XIV. He received no answer. On June 12, Rev. Claude Barthe again asked for permission to celebrate the traditional Latin Mass in St. Peter’s Basilica. On August 7, Archbishop Paolo Rudelli refused the second request. On September 8, Rev. Barthe made a third request. He asked for permission to enter the Basilica in a procession on October 24 at 1 p.m. Furthermore, the pilgrims wanted to pray for the Pope at the altar and adore the Blessed Sacrament. The Basilica’s Sacristy had already confirmed that the …Magis
Algerian Cardinal doubles down: "We have better things to do than to convert". Cardinal Jean-Paul Vesco of Algiers has responded to Bishop Robert Barron’s correction of his statement that the Catholic Church is “not there to convert” people. Instead of withdrawing his statement, Cardinal Vesco reaffirmed his position. In a Facebook post on October 30, Vesco admitted that “the Church that gives life to me is the Church of Saint John Paul II and the interreligious declaration of Assisi (1986)". The Cardinal believes in "the Church of Pope Francis, with the Abu Dhabi Declaration on Human Fraternity, signed with the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar on February 4, 2019; and the Church of Pope Leo, with his visit to Algeria and his silent prayer at the Great Mosque of Algiers, shoulder to shoulder with the rector." Furthermore, Cardinal Vesco repeated his position on conversion: “Yes, I believe that the believers of the three monotheistic religions have better things to do than to seek to convert one …Magis

Vice President J.D. Vance on whether Church teaching on migration/immigration is vague: "You can welcome the stranger, but you also have to ask them difficult questions about who the stranger is...I think the Church should be and could be a lot more specific..."
A new video has emerged from the devastating earthquake in La Guaira, Venezuela. The footage shows the collapse of several residential buildings, with people desperately trying to find a safe place.
And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the river that the dragon cast out of his mouth. Women is the Church . River of sin and rebellion . Earthquakes sign rebellion coming to end get on the Ark of salvation .You never know the time of your judgement
So many earthquakes and disasters. One after the other. We are getting closer everyday. It is growing more and more. Yet still in the beginning. So much more is yet to happen. Will there be a time when everything will hit us all at once? War, famine, disease etc.
Tucho Fernández on FSSPX: "In Future, Dialogue Will Be Possible" The Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) "didn't consider useful the dialogue we've proposed", Cardinal Tucho Fernández, soft porn author and Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, told @Michael Haynes on X.com. Tucho added: "But we hope in future, thanks to the action of the Holy Spirit, it'll be possible. I'm sure, but we'll need time." #newsXnfaezetpr
Riots have broken out in A Coruña, Spain after far-left militants tried attacking a rally held by the anti-immigration Vox Party. The far-left is attacking the police.
For Vatican justice, already under severe scrutiny for the way the major trial was conducted, a new front is opening: that of the transparency of investigations and the guarantees afforded to the defendants. This is a matter likely to weigh on the pontificate of Leo XIV, who is called to deal with the judicial legacy of one of the most controversial proceedings in recent years.
AI slop? Tucho’s Easter candle is placed “on the altar”. In §140 of his new document 'Venite ad Me', Cardinal Víctor "Tucho" Fernández, soft-porn author and Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, describes the paschal candle being placed “on the altar” during the Easter Vigil. This is not an English translation error. The Italian text says “collocazione sull’altare” - “placement on the altar.” The passage uses the Easter Vigil as an image of hope of how the faith is transmitted: “It is the image of the lighting of the paschal candle and its placement on the altar, following the procession through the nave of the church, during the solemn Easter Vigil in the Latin Rite.” As is well known, during the Easter Vigil, the paschal candle is placed on a stand beside the ambo or in the middle of the sanctuary - not on the altar itself. The discrepancy comes down to a preposition: “on” rather than “beside.” It may simply reflect very imprecise wording in a passage that is not …Magis

Cardinal McElroy has banned the installation of new Altar rails and discourages temporary kneelers, citing "a disruption of the flow of the Communion line". As you can see here, there is no disruption. Just another garbage excuse to attack the Latin Mass.
I would argue that kneeling and on the tongue is faster and more fluid than standing with Eucharistic minister placing the Eucharist in their dirty hands, stepping to the site, and then placing the host in your own mouth. Two operations as opposed to one so what is he even talking about.
Oslo Bishop Responds to FSSPX Consecrations: "I Will Expand the Roman Rite in the Diocese" Bishop Fredrik Hansen of Oslo, Norway, issued a July 3 statement following the episcopal consecrations by the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX). He said the two consecrating bishops and the four newly consecrated bishops had removed themselves from ecclesial communion and unity with the Pope: “This is sad, painful, and calls us to prayer and penance.” He urged Catholics to pray the Rosary for the unity of the Church on the Feast of Saint Sunniva, July 8. Monsignor Hansen repeated Cardinal Tucho Fernández’s explanation that the consecrations were a schismatic act and that the priests “can no longer validly grant absolution in the sacrament of confession.” He also urged Catholics to refrain from attending FSSPX Masses and other activities. Addressing FSSPX faithful directly, he wrote: “I understand that these are difficult and distressing days for you. You may find yourselves pulled in …Magis
Priest from excommunicated sect says future pope will reverse Vatican move This whole excommunication things is appearing more and more to be one huge joke, I know no one taking this matter seriously. Where is Pope St Pius X when you need him?
Did the 12 Apostles have to put up with this Vatican bureaucracy tit a tat? No. Why? Because Christ our Savior was their be all and end all. I doubt there are 4 priests today who could believe and declare Jesus Christ as their be all and end. They are too fretted with their standing and how they appear to others instead of Christ. It is sickening.
"It was a very unscientific and harmful report." HJA Ruissen condemns the Forbidden Colours "Hate Review" — a report riddled with lies and inaccuracies about hundreds of Christian organisations.

Pepe Escobar October 19, 2026 Exclusive: What’s really happening at the Iran-Pakistan border There’s no way to fight the Empire without bypassing its control of the international financial system. All hell is already breaking loose when it comes to probing what is exactly taking place related to the latest, definitely murky U.S.-linked movements in Pakistani land and sea. After an initial assessment at Transition Protocol – which avowedly did not provide all the necessary answers – we dug deeper into a way more comprehensive examination supported by several sources. What we are watching across several nodes of extremely sensitive Iran-Pakistan overland connectivity is not a blanket border shutdown; but a surgical, two-track balancing act by Islamabad between Washington’s tremendous financial vise and Tehran’s strategic lifeline. So here’s where it all stands – compounding the verified record with our latest consultations. The key point: the regulatory trigger was a banking sanctions …Magis
