Bishop Mark A. Eckman, 67, of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, will bring an end to the traditional Latin Mass at St. Titus Church in Aliquippa after nearly 20-years. Bishop Eckman was appointed Auxiliary Bishop of Pittsburgh in 2021. In June 2025, Leo XIV promoted him to Bishop of Pittsburgh. In a letter dated 7 August (see below), Monsignor Eckman announced that the final Mass to be held at St. Titus using the 1962 Missal is scheduled for 4 September. The remaining two traditional Latin Masses in Pittsburgh are offered by the Institute Christ the King in Brighton Heights and by the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X in the West End. Bishop Eckman said his predecessor, Bishop David A. Zubik, received Vatican permission in 2022 to continue the Mass at St. Titus. The initial two-year authorization was extended in September 2024 for another two years. The Bishop didn't seek another extension, “The permission to celebrate according to the older ritual in a parish church was only ever meant to be …ଅଧିକ
He really does not think that the Novus Ordo Mass is better and more Catholic. He is afraid of competition. He thinks the NOM can't compete. If he really thought that the NOM was better and more adapted to the modern mentality he would want everybody to experience the TLM so they could see how inferior it is compared to the NOM. It seem that he thinks that the NOM is an inferior product that needs protection from competition. Having 60 years of almost complete Novus Ordo monopoly is not enough? Monopolies create weakness. Competition makes men and institutions strong.

Brigitte Stegemann was an 83-year-old great-grandmother and a Christian. On July 10, she died through Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) program in Ontario. Diagnosed with terminal Stage IV stomach cancer, Stegemann had wanted to die naturally. But while her granddaughter and longtime legal representative, Brigitte Kranendonk, was away on vacation, medical personnel discussed MAiD with Stegemann. She was subsequently deemed capable of choosing MAiD despite allegedly being unable to answer basic questions about her own family. Canadian Catholic News reported that Kranendonk said her grandmother had originally rejected MAiD but was persuaded to request it during her absence. When Kranendonk returned and asked her grandmother whether she really wanted to die, Stegemann’s reaction was heartbreaking. “I’m supposed to die on Friday? They want to kill me on Friday?”, she reportedly asked through tears. Her family says she later repeatedly expressed regret, telling them she had made a …ଅଧିକ

On 6 August, Italian journalist David Murgia published the results of a confidential 2016 consultation within the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith concerning the alleged apparitions at Medjugorje on IlSegnoDiGiona.com. Two Thirds of the Congregation said Medjugorje was NOT Supernatural According to Murgia, 33 participants were asked to provide written opinions, or 'vota', on the Medjugorje phenomenon. Murgia reports the following results (17 September 2016): 21 participants chose 'constat de non supernaturalitate' (not of supernatural origin). 9 participants chose 'constat de supernaturalitate' (supernatural origin). 3 chose 'non constat de supernaturalitate' (the supernatural character has not been established). This corresponds to approximately 63.6 per cent for 'not supernatural', while only nine voted in favour.

Mexican Bishop Hops Left and Right Before the Altar: Bishop José Leopoldo González González, 71, of San Juan de los Lagos, Jalisco, Mexico, hopped and danced in liturgical vestments, including his mitre, during Emaús 2026. The diocesan gathering brought together more than 5,000 young Catholics on 23–24 May in San Miguel el Alto, Jalisco. González explained that a young man had told him the dance was simple—“one step to the right and another to the left” - and joked that he had “fallen into the trap.”
During Emaús 2026 in San Miguel el Alto, Bishop José Leopoldo González González drew attention for his energetic participation with young people during the activities and Mass.
... So berichtet man in den USA über das Kanzlerdebakel in Deutschland ... Palast-Revolte: Plant die CDU einen Kanzlertausch ohne Neuwahlen? "Aus Verzweiflung plant die CDU Berichten zufolge ein Mittel, das in der Geschichte nur dreimal angewendet wurde: den Kanzlertausch – einen „Wechsel an der Spitze der Bundesregierung, ohne dass die Regierungskoalition aufgelöst oder Neuwahlen abgehalten werden“. (...) Politico berichtete:„Die Theorie hinter einem Kanzlertausch lautet, dass die Konservativen die Folgen der Wahlen im Osten abfedern und sich einen Schub verschaffen müssen, indem sie einen Führer ersetzen, der seine Tiefstwerte nicht abschütteln kann. (...) Einen Kanzler Jahre vor dem Ende seiner Amtszeit auszutauschen, würde bedeuten, weitgehend unerforschtes politisches Terrain zu betreten.“ Die Putschisten planen, ihn durch Hendrik Wüst zu ersetzen, den Ministerpräsidenten des westlichen Bundeslandes Nordrhein-Westfalen.

Hiroshima must remain forever in humanity's memory as a warning, not a precedent. Behind that explosion lay lives, families, dreams, and generations scarred by a pain that should never be repeated. No conflict, ideology, or pursuit of power can justify such a tragedy. May the memory of Hiroshima help us understand that, given our capacity for self-destruction, peace, dialogue, and reason are not merely options—they are a responsibility we owe to humanity and to generations yet to come. Never again a nuclear war.
Hiroshima debe permanecer para siempre en la memoria de la humanidad como una advertencia, no como un precedente. Tras aquella explosión había vidas, familias, sueños y generaciones marcadas por un dolor que jamás debería repetirse. Ningún conflicto, ideología o afán de poder puede justificar semejante tragedia. Que el recuerdo de Hiroshima nos ayude a comprender que, dada nuestra capacidad de autodestrucción, la paz, el diálogo y la razón no son meras opciones: son una responsabilidad que tenemos con la humanidad y con las generaciones venideras. Nunca más una guerra nuclear.

The Trump administration is crafting a new nuclear strategy aimed at giving the president more “credible” options to use short-range tactical nuclear weapons in a regional conflict with Russia or China, NBC reports. The doctrine is being shaped by Pentagon policy chief Elbridge Colby, a long-time advocate of expanding the role of tactical nuclear weapons. His argument is that smaller, lower-yield warheads could be used against battlefield forces and military targets rather than cities. That distinction sounds reassuring until you get to the obvious problem: once nuclear weapons are treated as usable battlefield tools, the line separating conventional war from nuclear war gets much thinner. Critics warn that broadening their role could normalize nuclear weapons use and lower the threshold for escalation. China has accused Washington of "normalizing" nuclear use on the battlefield, warning that the US push for tactical nuclear weapons completely underestimates the risk of retaliation …ଅଧିକ
Oh! So much to say about this beast. So many things I warned about. They either happened, was confirmed by their own forked tongues or in the making now. But I will waste my time because they still defend the beast with the forked tongue. Most of us already know he is a beast with a forked tongue. The rest will have their little bubble burst in their face soon enough.
Auxiliary Bishop Ludger Schepers of Essen, the German Bishops' Conference's commissioner for homosexual propaganda, has urged Catholic parishes to become places where homosexuals can live "without fear". Writing on Kirche-und-Leben.de on August 2, Bishop Schepers commented on the recent deadly attack during Berlin's homosexual march. "Our parishes must be places where every person is welcome and experiences the inalienable dignity that God has given them. No one should ever have to fear prejudice, distrust, or rejection because of their sexual orientation or gender identity." He attacked the Church, claiming gratuitously that she "has not always been a safe place for queer people," adding that biblical passages had too often been taken "out of context" and used against them. Ludger Schepers contrasts what he calls "the Gospel's message of unconditional love" with "the experience of many queer people". This contradiction calls Catholics "to repent". Looking to the global Church, Bishop …ଅଧିକ
JMJ Sin is sin and no one gets a free pass. One venial sin denies a soul Heaven. Purgatory is God’s Mercy in action to clear that obstacle. Pope Francis’s focus on the poor people as in the monetary sense to the detriment of poor sinners. What is worse to be poor as in money or to die a poor sinner? Which one will deny you Heaven? Who’s job is it to get us to Heaven? The Government or the Church? There is two distinct roles the Church is specifically for poor sinners because there is NO other institution on earth for the forgiveness of sins. Here is where the Church denies Her Divine responsibility to administer Mercy to poor sinners. Obviously it is the poor sinner what the Church is equipped by Christ to help. As one gets closer to God through Confession the Church with no monetary incentive or assistance from the Government as a corporal work of mercy cares for the poor. Bishop Saunders was portrayed as a great Social Justice Warrior fighting for the marginalised, his focus should …ଅଧିକ

@Victor t J. I am glad to hear your dad made it through. What did he do to keep going? Did he pray the Rosary? I can see you do not care about innocent people being killed by weapons of mass destruction. I am celebrating their martyrdom not crying about about them. And exposing the US's immoral plan to destroy the center of Asian Catholicism. Was your dad on board with that?
Cardinal Zuppi Wants "a Mediation" on Euthanasia Legislation. Worse than Germany: Speaking on Luca Zaia's podcast Il Fienile in late July 2026, Cardinal Matteo Zuppi of Bologna, President of the Italian Bishops' Conference, said: "I know well that those who are ill don't wait for the law. There are also regions acting in a fragmented way. Politics should find a mediation. I've met sick people who wanted to leave. In these cases, respect is needed. The only choice you can make is to stay close to those who are suffering, which doesn't mean giving up your principles."
