26 neoconservative theology professors from Franciscan University of Steubenville - including Scott Hahn, John Bergsma, Michael Waldstein, Mark Miravalle, and university president Fr. Dave Pivonka - has published an open letter urging the FSSPX not to proceed with episcopal consecrations without a pontifical mandate. They represent a substantial portion of Steubenville's influential Theology Department (about 30 faculty members). Their argument is that no crisis in the Church justifies an act that would further damage the Church's visible unity with the Pope.
Open letter addressed to the SSPX leadership by nearly all the theologians of Franciscan University of Steubenville. «We write not as adversaries, but as fellow Christians who love the Church, which is built on Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition, and who, like you, long for the salvation of souls. Your love for the beauty of the traditional liturgy and your reverence in worship witness your earnest desire to serve the Lord. We share this love and desire.... The treasures of Catholic Tradition do not belong outside communion with Peter; they belong at the heart of the Church.»
Most of these people are converts from protestantism who have made careers off their conversion stories, which they think somehow merits them to be experts in all things Catholic. More humility and meekness is due from them, as a matter of justice, in reparation for the evils of protestantism.
The historian Dr. Hanael Bianchi’s new book on Vatican II, A Liberal Revolution, does something different and, in many ways, better, in its narrow focus on the impact of the reforms on the Archdiocese of Baltimore in particular. In fact, by focusing narrowly, providing more specific examples and a simpler narrative than other books on the same era, he’s actually reached some new insights hidden from those who’ve started with a wider net, about the tumultuous post-Conciliar era of the Church, specifically how the revolutions within the Church cannot be separated from the historical and political context of the era and how the impact of this period on the Church was a brief period of psychological libertinism that congealed into institutional centralization and ossiffication. The central claim of this book is that the implementation of Vatican II reflected an embrace of liberalism, not merely in the broad progressive sense of openness to new ideas, but more specifically in its affirmation …

During the event, the French national anthem, La Marseillaise, a symbol of the French Revolution, was played inside the church.

Übertragung eines Fußballspiels in einer Kirche. Noch extremer als in Deutschland: Ein Fußballspiel zwischen Frankreich und Norwegen, das Frankreich mit 4:1 gewann, wurde in einer Kirche in Ligny-en-Barrois (Frankreich) übertragen. Nach Angaben der Kirchengemeinde wurde die Kirche aufgrund der Hitzewelle genutzt, um den Zuschauern einen kühleren Veranstaltungsort zu bieten. Während der Veranstaltung erklang in der Kirche die französische Nationalhymne „La Marseillaise“, ein Symbol der Französischen Revolution.
[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, by exercising oneself in servile fear, which is the state of imperfection, by which is meant the first step of the holy Bridge, one arrives at the second step, which is the state of perfection. " I told thee that no one could go by the Bridge or come out of the river without climbing the three steps, which is the truth. There are some who climb imperfectly, and some perfectly, and some climb with the greatest perfection. The first are those who are moved by servile fear, and have climbed so far being imperfectly gathered together ; that is to say, the soul, having seen the punishment which follows her sin, climbs ; and gathers together her memory to recollect her vice, her intellect to see the punishment which she expects to receive for her fault, and her will to move her to hate that fault. …Gehiago
"But there are many who begin their course climbing so slowly, and render their debt to Me by such small degrees, and with such negligence and ignorance, that they suddenly faint, and every little breeze catches their sails, and turns their prow backwards. Wherefore, because they imperfectly climb to the first Step of the Bridge of Christ crucified, they do not arrive at the second step of His Heart."
"And let us consider this to be the first step and the first gathering together of the powers of the soul, which should be exercised by the light of the intellect with the pupil of the eye of holy faith, which looks, not only at the punishment of sin, but at the fruit of virtue, and the love which I bear to the soul, so that she may climb with love and affection, and stripped of servile fear."

This is why mexican people always help other people no matter who they are, race, nationality or economic status, like the help they've provided many times to the U.S. and other parts of the world without interest, without asking to have all their expenses to travel or stay, or food covered. It's because it comes from childhood, as they learn to work out of necessity, and gladly and lovingly help their parents and people.
A 29-year-old monk from the independent Abbey of Notre-Dame de Bellaigue in central France, who had been missing since Tuesday evening, was found safe on Friday. The Benedictine-inspired community in Virlet, in the Puy-de-Dôme department, was formerly affiliated with the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX). It aligned in 2019 with the movement associated with Bishop Richard Williamson. French gendarmes launched a search operation on Wednesday morning, deploying ground teams and aerial resources to locate the missing religious. According to LaMontagne.fr, the monk was found alive and without apparent injuries near Limoges, approximately 170 kilometers (105 miles) west of the monastery. Authorities have not disclosed how the monk came to be so far from the monastery or the circumstances surrounding his disappearance. They have released no information suggesting criminal involvement, nor have they indicated whether he left voluntarily or experienced a medical or psychological …Gehiago
SACRAMENTALS for the time of chastisement: Moses interceded for the people, and Yahweh answered him, "Make a fiery serpent and put it on a standard. If anyone is bitten and looks at it, he shall live." (Numbers 21:8) 1) Some Sacramentales serve for Protection: a) Exodus 12:5, 7, 13; The animal shall be without blemish, a male, one year old. You shall choose it from among the lambs or the goats. Then they shall take the blood and apply it to the two doorposts and the lintel of the houses where they eat it. The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are staying. When I see the blood, I will pass over you, and there will be no plague to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt. b) Revelation 7:3; “Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees until we have marked the foreheads of the servants of our God with the Seal.” c) Revelation 9:4; They were told not to harm the grass of the earth, or anything green, or any tree; but only those people who did not have the Seal of …Gehiago
1) Niektóre sakramentalia służą ochronie: a) Księga Wyjścia 12:5, 7, 13; Zwierzę to ma być bez skazy, samcem, w wieku jednego roku. Wybierzecie je spośród baranków lub kozłów. Następnie wezmą krew i posmarują nią oba odrzwia oraz nadproże domów, w których będą je spożywać. Krew ta będzie dla was znakiem na domach, w których mieszkacie. Gdy ujrzę tę krew, ominę was i nie spadnie na was plaga, która ma zniszczyć was, gdy uderzę w ziemię egipską. b) Objawienie 7:3; „Nie wyrządzajcie szkody ziemi, morzu ani drzewom, dopóki nie oznaczymy pieczęcią czoła sług naszego Boga”. c) Objawienie 9:4; Powiedziano im, aby nie wyrządzali szkody trawie na ziemi, ani niczemu zielonemu, ani żadnemu drzewu, lecz tylko tym ludziom, którzy nie mieli pieczęci Boga na czołach. 2) Niektóre sakramentalia służą uzdrowieniu: a) Księga Liczb 21: 5-8; Po drodze lud stracił cierpliwość. Narzekali na Boga i na Mojżesza: „Dlaczego wyprowadziłeś nas z Egiptu, żebyśmy zginęli na tej pustyni? Nie ma tu bowiem ani …Gehiago
“Someone who lived practicing the vice of sodomy will suffer more pains in Hell than any one else, because this is the worst sin that there is.” (St. Bernardine of Siena 'There, the associates of his wretchedness, far from alleviating the lot of the damned soul, will make it more intolerable for him.'

Book of Lamentations 2,2.10-14.18-19. The Lord has consumed without pity all the dwellings of Jacob; He has torn down in his anger the fortresses of daughter Judah; He has brought to the ground in dishonor her king and her princes. On the ground in silence sit the old men of daughter Zion; They strew dust on their heads and gird themselves with sackcloth; The maidens of Jerusalem bow their heads to the ground. Worn out from weeping are my eyes, within me all is in ferment; My gall is poured out on the ground because of the downfall of the daughter of my people, As child and infant faint away in the open spaces of the town. They ask their mothers, "Where is the grain?"--in vain, As they faint away like the wounded in the streets of the city, And breathe their last in their mothers' arms. To what can I liken or compare you, O daughter Jerusalem? What example can I show you for your comfort, virgin daughter Zion? For great as the sea is your downfall; who can heal you? Your prophets had …Gehiago
Die Klagelieder 2,2.10-14.18-19. Schonungslos hat der Herr vernichtet alle Fluren Jakobs, niedergerissen in seinem Grimm die Bollwerke der Tochter Juda, zu Boden gestreckt, entweiht das Königtum und seine Fürsten. Am Boden sitzen, verstummt, die Ältesten der Tochter Zion, streuen sich Staub aufs Haupt, legen Trauerkleider an. Zu Boden senken den Kopf die Mädchen von Jerusalem. Meine Augen ermatten vor Tränen, mein Inneres glüht, meine Leber ist zu Boden geschüttet wegen des Zusammenbruches der Tochter, meines Volkes, da Kind und Säugling verschmachten auf den Plätzen der Stadt. Sie sagen zu ihren Müttern: Wo ist Brot und Wein?, da sie wie tödlich verwundet verschmachten auf den Plätzen der Stadt, da ihr Leben ausgeschüttet ist auf dem Schoß ihrer Mütter.

In his May 2026 lecture at the Pontifical Urbaniana University, Cardinal Víctor "Tucho" Fernández said: "Sometimes it takes a madman, desperately in love with his land and his people, capable of separating the Gospel from certain cultural husks that have become attached to it but are not an essential part of its message, and of rereading it in the light of what his people are living today." Tucho added: "Ultimately, it is the Gospel, written within an ancient culture, that now acquires another 'flesh' in popular rites, venerated images, aphorisms and customs, reflections, ways of living the faith, and in music." On 25 June, Carlos Daniel Lasa wrote on ElWanderer.com that Tucho's contextual theology displaces Revelation and makes the lived experience of each people the decisive point for theology. Tucho relativises immutable doctrine and reduces theology to historical interpretation. Lasa's central thesis is even more far-reaching: Pope Francis sought to "refound" the Church, appointed …Gehiago
The Apostolic faith speaks to the eternal essence of God and the unchanging struggle of humans which is resolved by the timeless sacrifice on Calvary. Tucho claims that what he doesn't like in the Apostolic faith are cultural accretions. He is wrong. Lace, the mitre, and even his red zucchetto are cultural accretions. The seven deadly sins and sins which cry out to Heaven for vengeance are as fundamental to salvation as DNA is to life. This may be painful for Tucho. My heart goes out to him. But salvation comes from taking up your cross and requires sacrifice of your own preferences for the sake of Christ.
