First Canadian Town Grants Trees a 'Right to Life': On 9 June, the town of Terrasse-Vaudreuil in Quebec, home to around 2,000 people, became the first place in Canada to adopt a resolution enshrining the 'rights' of trees. The resolution includes rights such as the right to life, natural growth, integrity and regeneration. Mayor Michel Bourdeau said the initiative was inspired by filmmaker André Desrochers and his film 'Des arbres et des arts'. Meanwhile, around 30,000 human beings are aborted in Quebec each year, and more than 100,000 in Canada as a whole. Since its legalisation in 2016, more than 100,000 Canadians have died through euthanasia (MAID).
Spanish Priest Sentenced to 52 Years for Sexually Assaulting Four Women: A court in Málaga, Spain, has sentenced Catholic priest "Father Fran" to 52 years in prison for drugging and sexually assaulting four women between 2014 and 2018, including three rapes. He was found to have rendered the victims unconscious with an unidentified substance and recorded parts of the abuse. The Diocese of Málaga was held civilly liable for over €403,000 in compensation, with the court ruling the crimes were linked to his pastoral role. Under Spanish law, his effective prison term is expected to be capped at 20 years.

Cardinal Robert McElroy of Washington now says he removed Msgr. Stephen Rossetti as a Washington exorcist not because of his demons-and-UFOs comments, but because exorcism should be a private ministry. In a June 29 interview released July 8, McElroy said his objection was that exorcists should stick to quietly helping people in serious cases, not operate publicly: "It wasn't touching on the question of UFOs... my major objection is that I think the traditional role of an exorcist is a very private one." That explanation contradicts the archdiocese's own June statement announcing the removal. It said Rossetti's UFO comments "gravely undermine the Church's very precise teaching on the devil, demons and exorcism." Monsignor Rossetti had said in a video that he thinks many UFO sightings are demons capable of feats beyond human ability, such as impossible high-speed maneuvers. #newsYvdpsotlwj
Kardinali Baltazar Enrique Porras Cardozo, kardinal emeritus i Karakasit, u ndalua të largohej nga Venezuela më 10 dhjetor. Autoritetet në Aeroportin Ndërkombëtar Simón Bolívar anuluan pasaportën e tij ndërsa ai po përgatitej të hipte në një fluturim për në Madrid. Zyrtarët e informuan se ai ishte nën një ndalim udhëtimi, i konfiskuan pasaportën dhe e mbajtën të ndaluar për rreth dy orë para se ta kthenin në rezidencën e tij. Ai u shoqërua madje edhe për të shkuar në tualet. Autoritetet pretenduan "mosrespektim të rregulloreve të udhëtimit" dhe i kërkuan kardinalit Porras të nënshkruante një dokument që konfirmonte se ai nuk mund të udhëtonte. Kardinali raportoi se kur u përpoq të fotografonte dokumentin, u kërcënua me arrestim. Ai gjithashtu tha se një oficer i tha se ai shfaqej si "i vdekur" në sistemin qeveritar, gjë që u përdor për të justifikuar anulimin e pasaportës. Ngjarja vjen pas rritjes së tensionit midis qeverisë venezueliane dhe Kishës. Javë më parë, kardinali Porras e kishte …Më shumë
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. A meeting took place on 28 February 2018 at the Congregation between Cardinal Luis Ladaria, then Prefect, Monsignor Guido Pozzo, and Bishop Bernard Fellay. Bishop Fellay said he would submit the Declaration to the FSSPX General Chapter, scheduled for July 2018. At that Chapter, on 11 July 2018, Father Davide Pagliarani was elected Superior General. In the autumn of 2018, Cardinal Ladaria and Monsignor Pozzo met with Father Pagliarani. Monsignor Pozzo on Fr Pagliarani: "He informed us that he would not sign the Declaration, as he considered it insufficient and inadequate to address the difficulties and critical issues raised by the FSSPX, and that Rome would have to acknowledge its errors."

Pagliarani Blocked Fellay's 2018 Deal: "Rome Has to Acknowledge Its Errors" 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. __________________…Më shumë
Archbishop Georg Gänswein hopes the restrictions on the Mass in the Roman rite will be lifted, he told Il Giornale on July 7. Looking back to Benedict XVI's 2007 Motu Proprio Summorum Pontificum, Monsignor Gänswein said the Pope wanted to restore “full rights to a rite that had never been abolished”: “His goal was to give it its rightful place again within the Church and to restore peace in the Church's liturgical life.” According to Archbishop Gänswein, Summorum Pontificum was not conceived as a step toward reconciliation with the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X. Rather, “it was directed toward the Church itself.” Benedict XVI was pleased with the results of this reform. “It was beginning to bear fruit. It worked especially well among young people, and this is evident above all in the steadily growing numbers participating each year in the Paris-to-Chartres pilgrimage.” Monsignor Gänswein added that these young people are not opposed to the Second Vatican Council: “Anyone who …Më shumë
Benedict XVI's former secretary Georg Ganswein has spoken out on the restrictions imposed on the Latin Mass under Traditionis Custodes, saying that the time has come 'to lift those restrictions and move beyond the setback represented by that text'
" The document of Benedict XVI, Summorum Pontificum, does not create a new liturgical rite..." --- No, it was Montini with Bugnini who created it. Ratzinger just tried to save it by imposing a legal fiction of two forms of the same rite for ontologically and historically different rites.
Bishop of Liège Wishes New FSSPX Priest Well: Bishop Jean-Pierre Delville of Liège, Belgium, wished Fr. Vincent Richter, ordained for the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X at Écône on 29 June, well in his future mission in Brazil and urged him to serve Christ "as an authentic disciple of the Gospel." His tone was firmer after the FSSPX's four episcopal consecrations on 1 July without a papal mandate, describing them as deepening the Society's separation from Rome while still calling for continued dialogue.
International Media Report on Diocese's Sponsorship of Villach Pride US and French media are reporting on the local news that the Diocese of Gurk-Klagenfurt in Austria served as one of the official sponsors (!) of the first homosexual parade (Pride) in Villach. The march included people wearing dog masks, a communist flag, and a sign reading, “Jesus had two fathers — why not us?”
On June 26, the Archdiocese of Chicago, ruined by Cardinal Blase Cupich, dedicated a memorial for suiciders. The memorial, titled "At Peace," is located at Queen of Heaven Cemetery in Hillside, Illinois. According to the Archdiocese, it is the first memorial established by a Catholic archdiocese in the United States specifically for suiciders. The Vicar General, auxiliary Bishop Lawrence Sullivan, said in a June 24 statement that the memorial was created to "honor the lives lost to suicide". And: "Historically, the Catholic Church denied Catholic funerals in churches and burials in consecrated ground for individuals who died by suicide. The Church has undergone a significant transformation in its understanding of suicide and mental illness and now recognizes that many who die by suicide suffer from mental illness and unbearable pain. The Church now embraces these individuals and affirms that they are with God, not condemned." #newsBdkpdqzsck
