2 Kings 25:1-12 War is not from God. Evil is a separation from God's love. Matthew 8:1-4 Jesus reached out his hand and touched him, saying, “I will do it. Be made clean.” He who is pure, through his love, purifies the person. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.
The superiors of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X published today another Open Letter to Leo XIV and to the Cardinals. The letter is no call to action nor a negotiating proposal but rather another public reaffirmation of the Fraternity's long-standing position. Attached is a 28-page document (English below) with the Catholic faith. This document repeatedly affirms strong papal authority adding that the pope possesses "supreme, full, immediate, and universal jurisdiction". The letter. Most Holy Father, Most Reverend Eminences, On the eve of the Consistory at the end of this month, and just days before the episcopal consecrations scheduled for 1 July in Écône, it seems to us that the time has come for the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X to make a full profession of Catholic Faith, which we wish to place in the hands of Your Holiness and each one of the Cardinals. Today the Church suffers under the pressure of new forces, coming both from within and without, which push her in …More
Italian historian Roberto de Mattei reflected on the announced episcopal consecrations by the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) in an article published on CorrispondenzaRomana.it on June 24. "State of Necessity" Cannot Be Self-Judged For De Mattei, the state of necessity argument is simultaneously "the weakest and the strongest argument". His question is: "Who has the authority to verify the existence of such a state and determine its beginning and end?" He argues that if the FSSPX can independently determine when a state of necessity exists, then it also implicitly claims the authority to determine when that state ends. That would place the FSSPX in a position of judging the Holy See rather than being judged by it. De Mattei acknowledges that Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre was not a speculative theologian or canonist, but a pastor of souls: "The decisive criterion for him was not the assertion of a right proper to the FSSPX, but the spiritual need of the faithful." Can Any Bishop …More
After the election of Leo XIV, Aldo Maria Valli wanted to believe in the new pope and in the possibility of a change of direction, he admitted on his blog on June 25. Valli was the longtime Vatican correspondent for Italy’s public broadcaster, RAI. But: “The cold shower (or rather, a whole series of cold showers) quickly woke me from that dream in the form of statements fully in line with the Bergoglian disaster and a succession of ‘peace & love’ initiatives, marked by a shallow humanitarianism completely devoid of references to transcendence, sin, conversion, and the salvation of the soul.” On the consistory on Friday and Saturday, he writes: “Under Leo XIV, the Church is not merely avoiding any reversal of course; it is enthusiastically reaffirming the synodal model, transforming it into a permanent method of ecclesial governance.” Valli points to the names of the cardinals (Ryś, Fernández, Brislin, and Grech) chosen to lead the principal sessions. It is, he says, a gathering of …More
On June 24, Leo XIV has appointed Rev. Anand David Xalxo, 50, Vicar General and Rector of St. Mary's Cathedral in Ranchi, as Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Ranchi, India. The Archdiocese of Ranchi comprises about 180k Catholics, 35 parishes, more than 300 priests and over 1,000 religious sisters. Born in Mandar on 20 November 1975, Monsignor Xalxo was ordained a priest in 2006. Over the past two decades he has served in a variety of pastoral and administrative roles. On July 5, 2019, Rev. Xalxo spoke with UcaNews.com about the Eastern meditation method yoga. He said that most Catholic schools in the Archdiocese practice yoga daily “to build up positive energy, good health, and mental stability.” “There is no opposition to yoga in our schools. There are instances of our priests and nuns practicing it and teaching others,” he said. Cardinal Ratzinger wrote in 1989 that Eastern methods including yoga are "not free from dangers and errors" harmful to Catholic spirituality. A Product …More
Miserere Mei Deus. www.senusfidelius.us The Latin text runs thus: 1. Miserere mei, Deus: secundum magnam misericordiam tuam. 2. Et secundum multitudinem miserationum tuarum, dele iniquitatem meam. 3. Amplius lava me ab iniquitate mea: et a peccato meo munda me. 4. Quoniam iniquitatem meam ego cognosco: et peccatum meum contra me est semper. 5. Tibi soli peccavi, et malum coram te feci: ut iustificeris in sermonibus tuis, et vincas cum iudicaris. 6. Ecce enim in inquitatibus conceptus sum: et in peccatis concepit me mater mea. 7. Ecce enim veritatem dilexisti: incerta et occulta sapientiae tuae manifestasti mihi. 8. Asperges me, Domine, hyssopo, et mundabor: lavabis me, et super nivem dealbabor. 9. Auditui meo dabis gaudium et laetitiam: et exsultabunt ossa humiliata. 10. Averte faciem tuam a peccatis meis: et omnes iniquitates meas dele. 11. Cor mundum crea in me, Deus: et spiritum rectum innova in visceribus meis. 12. Ne proiicias me a facie tua: et spiritum sanctum tuum ne auferas a me. …More

It's not about an unofficial mascot that won the world's attention, but it is the family he follows. a hardworking Mexican family, Mother and children. A son with psychological problems and works to make a living to help his mother, and a young kid who follows his mother on the streets to sell water bottles along with his duck that has now become a symbol of resilience, unity, family values and love, and the unofficial mascot of the World Cup 2026 hosted in 3 countries, Canada, Mexico and the U.S. where the finals will be played.

One returns over and over to the question as to whether the current Vatican 'establishment', and its enablers, are committed to a 'Christ-centred' Church or an 'ideologically perverted' church?

2nd book of Kings 24,8-17. Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Nehushta, daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem. He did evil in the sight of the LORD, just as his forebears had done. At that time the officials of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, attacked Jerusalem, and the city came under siege. Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, himself arrived at the city while his servants were besieging it. Then Jehoiachin, king of Judah, together with his mother, his ministers, officers, and functionaries, surrendered to the king of Babylon, who, in the eighth year of his reign, took him captive. He carried off all the treasures of the temple of the LORD and those of the palace, and broke up all the gold utensils that Solomon, king of Israel, had provided in the temple of the LORD, as the LORD had foretold. He deported all Jerusalem: all the officers and men of the army, ten thousand in number, and all the craftsmen and …More
Zweites Buch der Könige 24,8-17. Jojachin war achtzehn Jahre alt, als er König wurde, und regierte drei Monate in Jerusalem. Seine Mutter hieß Nehuschta und war eine Tochter Elnatans aus Jerusalem. Wie sein Vater tat er, was böse war in den Augen des HERRN. In jener Zeit zogen die Truppen Nebukadnezzars, des Königs von Babel, gegen Jerusalem und belagerten die Stadt. Als dann König Nebukadnezzar von Babel selbst vor der Stadt erschien, während seine Krieger sie belagerten, ging Jojachin, der König von Juda, mit seiner Mutter, seinen Dienern, Fürsten und Kämmerern zum König von Babel hinaus und dieser nahm ihn im achten Jahr seiner Regierung fest. Nebukadnezzar nahm auch alle Schätze des Hauses des HERRN und die Schätze des königlichen Palastes weg und zerbrach alle goldenen Geräte, die Salomo, der König von Israel, im Haus des HERRN hatte anfertigen lassen, so wie es der HERR gesagt hatte. Von ganz Jerusalem verschleppte er alle Vornehmen und alle wehrfähigen Männer, insgesamt zehntausend …More
