Bishop Athanasius Schneider has criticised Pope Leo XIV’s August 26 presentation of the post-conciliar liturgical reform. He argued that the Novus Ordo does not correspond to what the Fathers of the Second Vatican Council intended. Speaking to AdVaticanum.com on September 2, Schneider also argued that non-definitive teachings of Vatican II can be amended or corrected. Conciliar Formulations Can Be Corrected Bishop Schneider referred to the Council of Florence (1431 to 1449), citing two doctrinal statements that were later discussed and corrected by the Church. One concerned Holy Orders. Florence identified the handing over of the sacred instruments as the matter of priestly ordination rather than the laying on of hands, despite the latter having been practiced during the first millennium. Schneider noted that Pope Pius XII later definitively taught that the matter of ordination is the laying on of hands, thereby formally correcting Florence. Schneider also pointed to Florence’s teaching …Bontsi
ElPais.com published on September 3 two private, handwritten letters from the late Pope Francis to Bishop Ángel Pérez Pueyo of Barbastro-Monzón, Spain, concerning his dispute with Opus Dei over the shrine Torreciudad. “Don’t give in!” Francis wrote to Pérez Pueyo on July 13, 2023. The dispute began in January 2020, when Opus Dei approached the bishop to propose changing the arrangements governing Torreciudad. Bishop Pérez Pueyo refused to sign anything. After three years of talks, on July 17, 2023, he removed the rector of Torreciudad and appointed a priest he trusted in his place. This was the first public confrontation between Opus Dei and the bishop - and came just four days after Francis wrote his letter. Talks continued until October 9, 2024, when Francis intervened in the shrine by appointing an extraordinary commissioner, Spanish Archbishop Alejandro Arellano, dean of the Tribunal of the Roman Rota. The move was understood as support for the bishop. Several days later, Francis …Bontsi
Whatever the merits of this case are, Jesuits and Opus Dei seem to be natural born enemies. Josemaria Escriva once said, "I would rather one of my daughters died without receiving the Last Rites than to receive them from a Jesuit."

Today, Leo XIV has appointed Bishop Ferenc Palánki, 62, as the new Metropolitan Archbishop of Kalocsa-Kecskemét, Hungary. Palánki has led the Diocese of Debrecen-Nyíregyháza since 2015. A canon lawyer, he was appointed auxiliary bishop of Eger in 2010 and ordained a bishop in 2011. 2015: Pro-Migration against Hungarian Cardinal During the migration crisis in 2015, Palánki was asked whether he sides with Cardinal Erdő and Bishop Kiss-Rigó (both took anti-migrant lines) or with the Pope's call to take migrants in. He chose Francis: "We say what the pope says: let's take in the refugees, regardless of their religion.” He invoked the Great Commission: “Go and make disciples of all nations... Now we don't have to go, because many people are coming here.” As Priest, Played Guitar at Eucharists In a 2020 interview, Palánki argued that contemporary music can belong inside the liturgy, not merely at youth meetings.

Why Mary Is the Shortest Path to Jesus: Fr. Matthias & Fr. Bernard on Graces Waiting for You "Mary is never an obstacle between us and Christ—she is the quickest, easiest, and surest route to His Sacred Heart." Father Matthias Sasko and Father Bernard Salter, FI, join CatholicTV to explain the life-changing gift of Marian consecration. What does it truly mean to give your entire life to Jesus through the hands of Mary? Stepping into the living room on This Is the Day from New Bedford, Massachusetts, Father Matthias Sasko and Father Bernard Salter of the Franciscans of the Immaculate unpack the spiritual charism of St. Maximilian Kolbe. The friars address common misconceptions about Marian devotion, showing that consecration is not Mary's or John's idea, but Christ’s direct command from the Cross: "Behold your mother." They explain what happens when we entrust ourselves to Mary as her personal "property and possession"—surrendering to her maternal authority so she can form us into the …Bontsi
Pope Leo XIV’s four-day visit to France, scheduled for September 25–28, will take place under exceptionally heavy security. Around 850 additional police officers are expected to be deployed just for the Lourdes and Metz portions of the trip. France’s elite RAID tactical unit, explosives-detection dogs, and plainclothes officers will also be involved. Authorities plan extensive drone surveillance and anti-drone measures. Preparations in Lourdes have already included authorization for police drones over the city and sanctuary. TribuneChretienne.com points out that Islamic elements ("Islamism") remain France’s principal terrorist threat. French counterterrorism prosecutor Olivier Christen said that jihadist cases accounted for 94% of new counterterrorism investigations opened by April 1, 2026.

The Redemption of Man and the Rejection of “Holy Sex” A Patristic and Scholastic Disputation Against the Modern Exaltation of Carnal Pleasure “The first man Adam was made into a living soul; the last Adam into a quickening spirit.” —1 Corinthians 15:45 Prologue: The Question Before Us There is a fundamental question which must be asked before we speak of the holiness of sexual pleasure: What is man? And immediately after that: What became of man through the Fall? For if we begin with fallen man as though his present condition were the standard of human nature, we shall inevitably mistake the wounds of the Fall for the original design of God. This is precisely the danger in the modern exaltation of sexuality. The question is no longer merely: "Is marital intercourse lawful?" The Catholic tradition already answers that question. The more profound question is: "What ought the Christian to desire within the marital act?" And here a profound difference appears between the ascetical tradition …Bontsi
The University of Notre Dame's McGrath Institute for Church Life has published on July 17 a report containing twelve proposals for assessing candidates for the priesthood. Entitled, "Do You Know Them to Be Worthy?", the file was written by Father Thomas V. Berg and psychologist Timothy G. Lock. The report draws on research commissioned from the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate (CARA) and a consultation held at Notre Dame in September 2025. The proposals concern psychological assessment, candidates with particular psychological or developmental conditions, and formation for chastity and celibacy. It addresses candidates with conditions including ADHD, obsessive-compulsive disorder and autism spectrum disorder. On homosexual attraction, the Notre Dame authors note that a pause in formation may "more often than not" lead to a decision not to advance a candidate toward ordination. The authors think the pause is needed to assess four things: - how the man understands his identity; …Bontsi

The Russian Orthodox Church has revoked its June decision assigning its former foreign affairs chief to two Russian Orthodox parishes in southern Brazil. Instead, Patriarch Kirill has assigned Hilarion, 60, to the Exaltation of the Cross Monastery near Moscow. The latest reassignment comes after a series of controversies involving the once-powerful church diplomat. In May, Czech police detained Hilarion in Karlovy Vary after searching his car and finding four containers containing a white powder. Czech authorities later identified the substance as cocaine. Hilarion was released without charges after two days, while the investigation remains ongoing. He denies any involvement and says he was the victim of a provocation. Hilarion had already been removed as Metropolitan of Budapest and Hungary in 2024 after a former male assistant accused him of homosexual misconduct and financial impropriety. The allegations were accompanied by claims that Hilarion lived a lavish lifestyle and accumulated …Bontsi

Today, Pope Leo XIV has approved the election of Sharbel Ghattas Maroun as the new Maronite Catholic archbishop of Damascus. A Lebanese-born priest, he has spent much of his ministry in the United States. Archbishop Maroun, 64, was elected by the Synod of Bishops of the Maronite Church. He succeeds Archbishop Samir Nassar, 76, whose resignation was accepted by the synod. Since 2020, Maroun has served as protosyncellus, a senior position comparable to vicar general, of the Maronite Eparchy of Our Lady of Lebanon of Los Angeles.

HustleBitch @HustleBitch_ A NEUROLOGIST SHOWED A 10-SECOND DEMENTIA TEST — AND PEOPLE ARE PANICKING AFTER TRYING IT AT HOME A neurologist just demonstrated one of the simplest brain checks you can do without a hospital visit. Fist. Edge. Palm. Repeat it in a smooth sequence. That’s the Luria test. It measures motor control, executive function, and whether your brain can keep a pattern going. For most people it’s easy. For others, the movement falls apart. They get stuck repeating the same motion or lose the order completely. The doctor said studies show only about 2% of people with normal cognition struggle with it. In Alzheimer’s patients, that jumps to more than 50%. In frontotemporal dementia, almost 70%. Then he made the part everyone skipped: this is not a diagnosis. It’s a quick screening test. That has not stopped the comments from filling with people who just failed it on their couch and immediately spiraled. Would you try this at home ?
German Priest Steps Down to Marry His Longtime Secret Partner: German priest Andreas Unfried, 63, is stepping down after revealing he has been secretly in a relationship with a woman for many years. He has served as a priest for 37 years near Frankfurt. In an open letter, he announced plans to marry his longtime partner. The Diocese of Limburg, led by Bishop Georg Bätzing, said it respects his decision and thanked the priest for decades of "service". Unfried, in turn, thanked Bishop Bätzing for treating him with "respect".

Monsignor Stephen Rossetti, removed in June as an exorcist by Washington Cardinal Robert McElroy, is continuing his deliverance ministry. In an August 3 email to subscribers, Monsignor Rossetti said he remains a priest in good standing in his home Diocese of Syracuse, New York, and will continue his work through the St. Michael Center, which operates within the territory of the Washington archdiocese. On June 3, Cardinal McElroy removed Rossetti as an archdiocesan exorcist and ended all affiliation between the Archdiocese of Washington and Rossetti's St. Michael Center. Monsignor Rossetti argues that he retains priestly faculties in several dioceses and exorcist faculties in two others. He also says his own bishop has encouraged him to continue the ministry. The June controversy followed Rossetti's eccentric claim that UFOs "are, in fact, demons." Cardinal McElroy - who had removed him for this claim - later said the decision was not about UFOs but reflected his view that the role of an …Bontsi
Read this garbage: Msgr Rossetti says " sexual abuse of minors by mothers could more easily be disguised as ordinary acts of cleaning, grooming or dressing children." If it is true that he said this, such a thought could only come from a rotten, corrupt mind. Our mothers -our blessed, beloved mothers- could never do such a thing!

Fides Et Ratio That's is all true. So many women (mostly) are involved in Occult. It doesn't matter who they are and what age. It's an 'epidemics'.
