S. D. Wright: Archbishop Viganò and the Seat of St. Peter: A respectful reply Sep 30, 2026 Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò recently made a number of criticisms of 'sedevacantism' – but do they stand up to scrutiny? Following the release of his recent essay The Capital Schism, Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò gave an exclusive three-part interview to LifeSiteNews. EXCLUSIVE: Archbishop Viganò says restraint on Antichrist loosened at Vatican II EXCLUSIVE: Abp. Viganò says Leo XIV has intensified Francis’s agenda, not slowed it EXCLUSIVE: Abp. Viganò: The Catholic Church ‘is alive’; the ‘synodal church is a corpse’ The interview covered a range of topics about the state of the Church. In the third part, he made a number of critical comments about “sedevacantism” and explained why he is not a “sedevacantist.” However, a number of these criticisms were “wide of the mark.” Whether one holds to the “sedevacantist” conclusion or not, it is necessary that such criticisms address what “sedevacantists …অধিক
Pope Leo XIV has appointed Bishop Pierre Goudreault - open to married priests - as the new bishop of Trois-Rivières, Quebec. Bishop Goudreault, 63, has governed Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pocatière since 2018 and has headed the Canadian bishops’ conference since September 2025. He said after his September 29 appointment that Catholics should discern how to become “a synodal Church” characterized by “mutual listening” and “communal discernment.” “The Church as a laboratory” Already before becoming a bishop, Goudreault told LePlacoteux.com in 2017 that he sees “the Church as a laboratory where we have to allow ourselves to try things” and that “we have to change our ways of doing things”. The remarks accompanied discussion of his book Faire Église autrement (“Being Church Differently”), in which he proposed the multiplication of small groups for reflection, faith-sharing and Christian formation as a path for the Church's future. Open to Married Priests In January 2024, LePlacoteux.com asked …অধিক

Dutch Cardinal Wim Eijk condemned the euthanasia of a severely disabled Dutch child, nearly two years old, as a violation of human dignity. “Is it merciful to violate the fundamental dignity of the human person by ending their life?” he asked. Speaking to CruxNow.com in an interview on September 25, Eijk warned that “merciful” is often used to justify “ethically questionable actions.” He said ending the body is a “fundamental violation” of a person’s inherent dignity.

Going Viral in the Worst Ways nytimes.com/…09/29/opinion/trump-mideast-diplomac… Sept. 29, 2026 By Thomas L. Friedman Opinion Columnist 阅读简体中文版閱讀繁體中文版 President Trump is such an awful human being that just writing about him feels degrading. What president would denigrate his predecessor in front of China’s leader the way Trump mocked Joe Biden, now suffering from cancer, by pointing out that a framed picture of an autopen was hanging in the White House instead of Biden’s portrait? Alas, though, when someone as morally warped as Trump — whose first secretary of state called him a “moron” — assumes this much unchecked power at the dawn of the Age of Artificial Intelligence, he can’t be ignored. Because right now Trump is leaving America exposed to dangerous viruses: digital, biological and diplomatic. Something bad is going to happen to us as a result. We and our children are going to pay for this, and not only at the gas pump. Let me start with the digital virus now on the loose. …অধিক
Vatican Synod commission proposes “complete revision” of canon law — including marriages without a priest. A 10-member Canonical Commission established as part of the Vatican’s Synod on Synodality has published today proposals to reshape canon law. The report says that in the long term there is an “obvious need for a complete revision” of the Codes. The goal is to reflect emerging “theological and ecclesiological issues.” Among the proposals: • Sensus fidei: Canon 749 would begin by stating that “the entire body of the Christian faithful… cannot err in matters of faith” when universal consent in faith and morals is manifested “from the bishops down to the last of the lay faithful.” • Duty to listen: Pastors would have a canonical “duty to listen to the opinion of the Christian faithful” through communal discernment. • Lay governance: Bishops could appoint lay “episcopal delegates” exercising delegated authority. Lay men and women could serve as diocesan judges and, in certain cases, as …অধিক
Conservative Dutch Auxiliary Bishop Rob Mutsaerts joins the media enthusiasm surrounding Leo XIV’s reception in France. His praise of Leo XIV becomes rather grandiloquent: “The guillotine is gone. Now a man in white appears, proudly raising the Cross.” His central point is more interesting: secular Europe may have lost much of its Christian memory without losing its religious hunger. Mutsaerts sees a generation rediscovering the Cross, the rosary, Gregorian chant, Augustine and Aquinas. And he lands on a memorable image: “The world has organized Christianity’s funeral many times. The remarkable thing is that the deceased keeps showing up.”
LA GHIGLIOTTINA, IL PAPA A PARIGI E IL RITORNO INASPETTATO DELLA FEDE Un’illuminante riflessione di mons. Rob Mutsaerts su Vitamin Exp commenta il trionfale viaggio di Papa Leone XIV in Francia, mettendo a confronto il fallimento delle ideologie laiciste con la permanente attrattiva della fede. I punti salienti dell’articolo: I paradossi della Rivoluzione: Nata con la promessa di libertà, la Rivoluzione francese sfociò nel Terrore, nella ghigliottina e nella creazione del grottesco “Culto della Ragione”. Il surrogato woke: L’uomo non può fare a meno della religione. Rifiutato Dio, la cultura laico-progressista ha inventato il woke: un sistema fondato su colpa e condanna, ma privo della grazia e del perdono cristiano. La smentita delle profezie laiciste: Voltaire ipotizzava la scomparsa della Chiesa, ma le centinaia di migliaia di fedeli a Parigi e l’aumento dei battesimi di adulti dimostrano che la secolarizzazione non è un destino ineluttabile. La vera ribellione: In un mondo …অধিক
Which cross, please? Prevost, the hater of tradition, is a syncretist who despises the holy martyrs of the French Revolution. Obsequious sycophant. Matusaerts wants to please Prevost.
A well-staged Papal event. Days of saturation coverage, politicians lining up, interfaith delegations, enormous crowds and journalists analysing every gesture: Leo XIV’s visit to France has become much more than a trip. Whatever one thinks of the motives behind it, secular French media and laicist public institutions have helped turn the visit into a national event — and staged the image of a Catholic revival in one of Europe’s most famously secular republics.
‘How the soul, after having mounted the first step…’ ~ 'The Dialogue' of Saint Catherine of Siena; 1907; A TREATISE OF DISCRETION; pp. 150-151 [Saint Catherine of Siena /Caterina di Benincasa/; XIV-XV Century AD; born: Siena, Republic of Siena/died: Rome, Papal States; aged 33; Spiritual Writer; Mystic; Virgin; Doctor of the Church] How the soul, after having mounted the first step of the Bridge, should proceed to mount the second. " Thou hast now seen how excellent is the state of him who has attained to the love of a friend ; climbing with the foot of affection, he has reached the secret of the Heart, which is the second of the three steps figured in the Body of My Son. I have told thee what was meant by the three powers of the soul, and now I will show thee how they signify the three states, through which the soul passes. Before treating of the third state, I wish to show thee how a man becomes a friend and how, from a friend, he grows into a son, attaining to filial love, and how a …অধিক
"Every perfection and every virtue proceeds from charity, and charity is nourished by humility, which results from the knowledge and holy hatred of self, that is, sensuality. To arrive thereat, a man must persevere, and remain in the cellar of self-knowledge in which he will learn My mercy, in the Blood of My only-begotten Son, drawing to Himself, with this love, My divine charity, exercising himself in the extirpation of his perverse self-will, both spiritual and temporal, hiding himself in his own house, as did Peter, who, after the sin of denying My Son, began to weep."
