Cardinal López Romero Steps Back Amid Investigation: Spanish-born Cardinal Cristóbal López Romero, Archbishop of Rabat, has stepped back from public ministry after five adult women filed complaints against him.

The women accuse López Romero of unwanted physical contact, including prolonged hugs, attempted kisses, and other conduct they describe as sexually inappropriate.
At least five women have accused Cristobal Cardinal Lopez Romero, the Spanish-born Archbishop of Rabat, Morocco, of sexual violence, prompting the Vatican to open a formal investigation into the Pope Francis appointed Cardinal.
Upacara penahbisan uskup yang diselenggarakan oleh Persaudaraan Imam Santo Pius X di Écône pada tanggal 1 Juli telah menghidupkan kembali sebuah pertanyaan lama: berapa banyak umat Katolik yang tergabung dalam FSSPX? Jawabannya ternyata sulit dipastikan. Tergantung pada sumbernya, perkiraan jumlahnya berkisar antara sekitar 100.000 hingga sebanyak 600.000 umat di seluruh dunia. FSSPX sendiri terus mengemukakan angka 600.000 umat. Namun, angka 600.000 tersebut berasal dari pidato yang disampaikan pada tahun 2007 oleh Kardinal Darío Castrillón Hoyos, yang saat itu menjabat sebagai Ketua Komisi Kepausan Ecclesia Dei. Saat berbicara kepada para uskup Amerika Latin di Aparecida, ia menyatakan bahwa “kelompok Lefebvrian” terdiri dari empat uskup, 500 imam, dan 600.000 umat. Angka tersebut sulit untuk diselaraskan dengan infrastruktur FSSPX. FSSPX memiliki sekitar 730 imam, sekitar 180 biara dan rumah, serta 750 kapel dan pusat Misa. Banyak dari kapel-kapel ini merupakan pos misi kecil di mana …Lebih
"FSSPX Confessions Are Valid" - Müller Contradicts Tucho: On July 6, K-TV asked Cardinal Gerhard Müller whether confessions heard by priests of the Priestly Society of Saint Pius X are valid or invalid. Contrary to Cardinal Tucho Fernández, he replied: "The confessions are valid, but illicit. The power to forgive or retain sins is conferred through the sacrament of Holy Orders. Its exercise can only be restricted by the bishop or the Pope, as provided by canon law."
Kardinal Gerhard Müller zu Beichten bei den Priestern der Piusbruderschaft (K-TV, 6. Juli): "Die Beichen sind gültig, aber unerlaubt, denn die Vollmacht, Zünden zu vergeben und zu behalten, ist ja durch das Weihesakrament übertragen. Sie kann nur in der Ausübung durch den Bischof oder den Papst eingeschränkt werden, bis nach dem Kirchenrecht vorgegeben ist." (via @Klaus Elmar Müller)

Turin Parish Holds Funeral for Muslim. Worse than Germany: On 3 July, the body of an Iranian Muslim was brought to Sant'Anna parish in Turin for a ceremony led by the parish priest, Don Valter Danna. The service included Christian prayers and the use of incense. Don Danna said it was not a Catholic funeral but rather a "prayer of farewell," explaining that the family had close ties to the parish. He confirmed that the ceremony was intentionally distinguished from a Catholic funeral.
"Diciamo che si è persa la capacità di costruire un bel luogo dove ritrovarsi. La freddezza della struttura in cemento armato, l'assenza completa di qualcosa che assomigli ad un segno di vita nel luogo è tipico dei luoghi Religiosi; come privato della Sua parte migliore il luogo rende opprimente la sosta e forte la voglia di correre via. Ci si sente quasi allarmati a leggere tutti i divieti appesi alle inferriate: viviamo in un mondo che ci è Vietato?

CATHOLIC DOCTRINE TEACHES: CCC 1184 "Ecclesiastical funeral rites are to be denied, unless the deceased gave some signs of repentance before death: 1. to notorious apostates, heretics, or schismatics; 2. to those who requested the cremation of their bodies for reasons contrary to the Christian faith; 3. to other manifest sinners, to whom ecclesiastical funeral rites cannot be granted without public scandal to the faithful." Can. 1185 Any funeral Mass must also be denied to a person excluded from ecclesiastical funeral rites.
Lebih parah daripada di Jerman: Uskup Agung Erio Castellucci dari Modena-Nonantola telah mengusulkan bentuk “ko-presidensi” liturgi, di mana para perempuan akan memimpin Liturgi Sabda sementara para imam akan memimpin konsekrasi Ekaristi. Usulan tersebut termuat dalam pidato yang diterbitkan pada 24 Mei di buletin keuskupan, yang disampaikan dalam konferensi yang diselenggarakan oleh Centro Italiano Femminile di Carpi. Monsignor Castellucci adalah Wakil Presiden Konferensi Waligereja Italia dan Ketua Komite Nasional untuk Sinode Italia. Ia mengusulkan agar perempuan dapat bertanggung jawab atas bagian pertama Ekaristi, yaitu mengumumkan Kebangkitan "seperti yang dilakukan Maria Magdalena kepada para rasul." Hal ini akan menghindari "kebuntuan" seputar penahbisan perempuan sambil tetap menghormati ajaran Gereja bahwa hanya seorang imam yang dapat melakukan konsekrasi. Uskup Agung Castellucci juga menyerukan perluasan tata kelola bersama di dalam Gereja, mengusulkan agar rekomendasi dewan …Lebih
U.S. Ambassador to the Holy See Brian Burch has described an informal Independence Day dinner he hosted for Pope Leo XIV at his residence in Rome. Speaking with Italian media, Burch said the pope arrived at 7:30 p.m. on July 4, prayed with the ambassador's family, and shared a meal featuring American charcuterie, watermelon salad, Chicago-style hot dogs, apple pie, and gelato. Burch said Leo XIV approved of the menu. The pope arrived without aides or secretaries, accompanied only by two Vatican gendarmes. Burch said he invited Leo XIV to mark the 250th anniversary of the United States by hosting the first U.S.-born pope. The invitation was sent about two months before the dinner, and confirmation came about a month later. The ambassador also said Leo XIV still carries a Peruvian credit card, uses a cellphone, follows the Chicago White Sox, and sometimes wakes during the night to check soccer scores. The dinner took place the same day Leo XIV visited Lampedusa. Burch said the pope rejected …Lebih
Tibetan Rituals in a U.S. Church. Worse than Germany: On Monday, more than 60 Tibetans gathered at Most Holy Redeemer Church in Hadley, Massachusetts, to celebrate the Dalai Lama's 91st birthday and mark the conclusion of the "Year of Compassion," an initiative of the Central Tibetan Administration. The event opened with a ritual in which participants chanted "Om" three times and tossed tsampa (barley flour) into the air. Attendees also made mandala offerings by bowing and placing a white ceremonial scarf before a photo of the Dalai Lama. The celebration continued with speeches, traditional Tibetan songs and dances, and performances by students from a local Tibetan Sunday school.

Ahli Falsafah Austrian, Josef Seifert telah membuat kritikan tajam terhadap tuntutan bicara Pope Francis di Abu Dhabi berkenaan dengan pluralisme dan kepelbagaian agama yang "ditakdirkan oleh Tuhan". Dalam suatu artikel yang diterbitkan dalam Grave Concerns About Pope Francis’ Abu Dhabi Document - By Professor Josef Seifert (8 Februari), Seifert bertanya, "Bagaimanakah Tuhan boleh merestukan agama yang menafikan status Christ dan penyelamatan?" Bagi Seifert, kata-kata Francis "mengandungi semua heresi" dan menjadikan Tuhan kepada target relativisme yang "tidak kenal" bahawa hanya ada satu yang benar dan "tidak peduli " sama ada manusia percaya akan kebenaran atau kepalsuan. Dia menyimpulkan bahawa dokumen Abu Dhabi Francis telah "menafikan nilai Kristian" dan mengimplikasikan bahawa Tuhan mesti membencikan Gereja Katholik kerana ia menolak sebarang relativisasi agama Kristian yang akan mengubahkannya kepada banyak jenis agama yang kontradik. Seifert meminta Francis untuk menarik balik …Lebih
“We must put an end to liturgical abuses that contradict the teachings of the Second Vatican Council,” Cardinal Antonio María Rouco Varela, 89, Archbishop Emeritus of Madrid, told LaNuovaBq.it on July 7. Furthermore, he called for “understanding for those who wish to attend the older rite” and for “respect for the freedom of the faithful within the communion of the Church” - that is, “not by imposing excessive regulations.” He described Pope Benedict XVI’s Motu Proprio Summorum Pontificum (July 7, 2007) as “a very understanding and balanced measure, and I think it was a good one.” He added: “In Madrid there is still a church where the traditional rite is celebrated.” German Bishops Acting Against the Church On the German Synodal Way, Cardinal Rouco Varela said that “canon law has been stretched beyond its limits” and warned that the situation “affects the fundamental aspects of the faith.” If the planned synodal committee in Germany were to function as “a body exercising authority within …Lebih

The episcopal consecrations by the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X in Écône on July 1 have revived an old question: how many Catholics are attached to the FSSPX? The answer is surprisingly elusive. Depending on the source, estimates range from around 100,000 to as many as 600,000 faithful worldwide. The FSSPX itself continues to publish the figure of 600,000 faithful. However, the number of 600,000 comes from a speech delivered in 2007 by Cardinal Darío Castrillón Hoyos, then President of the Pontifical Commission Ecclesia Dei. Speaking to the Latin American bishops at Aparecida, he stated that the "Lefebvrian group" consisted of four bishops, 500 priests and 600,000 faithful. The number is difficult to reconcile with the FSSPX’s infrastructure. The FSSPX has approximately 730 priests, about 180 priories and houses, and 750 chapels and Mass centres. Many of these chapels are small mission stations where Mass is celebrated only once or twice a month with few faithful. In 2019, Fr Pascal …Lebih
I know in my Church it's packed during the three Masses held in the morning. And then there is one at night. Usually about half full. You will see people standing during the day. There is a nursing room also with mothers and small children as well as in the Vestibule. And also sometimes in a side room. It holds about 1,000 people or so I believe. We have 7 SSPX Church's in Florida. I would say, and would like to believe that there is at least 600,000 SSPX supporters and attendees.
Worse than Germany: Archbishop Erio Castellucci of Modena-Nonantola has proposed a form of liturgical "co-presidency" in which women would lead the Liturgy of the Word while priests would preside over the Eucharistic consecration. The proposal appears in a speech published on May 24 in the diocesan bulletin, delivered at a conference organized by the Centro Italiano Femminile in Carpi. Monsignor Castellucci is the vice President of the Italian bishops and President of the National Committee for the Italian Synod. He suggested that women could take responsibility for the first part of the Eucharist, proclaiming the Resurrection "as Mary Magdalene did to the apostles." This would sidestep "the impasse" over women's ordination while still respecting Church teaching that only a priest can consecrate. Archbishop Castellucci also called for expanding shared governance in the Church, proposing that consultative councils' recommendations be made binding after a process of "consensus-building,"…Lebih
Jika Pope Francis pernah menipu mengenai pengetahuannya atas kes McCarrick maka dia perlu menjawab, kata Kardinal Raymond Burke kepada EWTN (30hb Mei). Burke telah lama menunggu jawapan yang berupa“ deklarasi yang ringkas, padat, langsung, dan jelas" mengenai perkara ini. Dia teruskan dengan katanya bahawa Islam merupakan suatu bentuk kerajaan yang akan diperkenalkan di negara-negara yang mengalu-alukan kemasukan Muslim tanpa sebarang had, jika suatu hari golongan ini menjadi majoriti. Burke turut berkomen dalam kalangan pengkaji dan menukar John Rist, 83 tahun, yang dilarang memasuki sebarang Universiti Pontifikal dalam dunia kerana dia menandatangani surat April yang menyenaraikan heresi Francis. Diperhatikan bahawa Rist telah dihukum oleh sekresi, Burke berkata, "kita telahpun terperangkap dalam mentaliti seumpama totalitarian di mana orang mengaplikasikan kuasa tanpa berkata dengan individu yang terlibat.” Untuk melayan Rist, seorang yang berprinsip, berilmu dan penganut Katholik …Lebih
Hari ini, Leo XIV menunjuk Monsinyur Christian Würtz, 55 tahun, sebagai Uskup Eichstätt, Jerman. Leo XIV kembali memilih seorang ahli hukum kanonik. Berasal dari Karlsruhe, ia awalnya menempuh studi hukum di Universitas Heidelberg sebelum masuk seminari. Ia memegang dua gelar doktor—satu dalam hukum sipil dan hukum kanonik (doctor iuris utriusque) serta satu lagi dalam teologi. Ia juga pernah menjabat sebagai rektor seminari Freiburg.

On July 6, Cardinal Müller spoke with K-TV about the Traditional Latin Mass and the FSSPX episcopal consecrations. Key statements: - "The implementation of the liturgical reform was marked by many abuses because many failed to grasp the spirit of the renewed liturgy and neglected its essential elements: the worship of God, the communication of salvation, and reverence before God." - "The so-called old rite is not forbidden. Rather, it is permitted to a certain extent and under certain conditions, and it is, of course, valid." - "Pope Benedict XVI made the wise decision that the same Latin liturgy could be celebrated in both its ordinary and extraordinary forms." - "The faithful always have the opportunity to attend the Holy Mass celebrated according to the older form." - "Many people may have sympathies for the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X because they believe that the Catholic faith and the liturgy are being preserved there against many of the abuses found in modernist circles.…Lebih
