Cardinal Burke Sees "No State of Emergency": Ordaining bishops without a papal mandate will have to be punished, Cardinal Raymond Burke told PerMariam.com. He hopes Leo XIV will appoint cardinals to continue talks with the FSSPX, saying reconciliation remains possible. Cardinal Burke, a canon lawyer, rejected rumours that all FSSPX members could be declared excommunicated: "I don’t think that can be sustained". Furthermore, he dismissed the FSSPX's claim of a "state of emergency" to justify episcopal consecrations. While acknowledging serious difficulties in the Church, he insisted that Catholics must remain faithful within the Church: "No situation justifies doing something that is intrinsically evil."
VATICAN CITY (PerMariam) — Cardinal Raymond Burke has given his assessment of the recent Extraordinary Consistory along with the upcoming episcopal consecrations of the Society of Saint Pius X, noting some remaining concerns about the consistory format, while lamenting the planed consecrations. Speaking with Per Mariam following the recent consistory, Cdl. Burke offered a summary of the event which drew just under 180 cardinals to Rome for the second such meeting of Leo XIV’s pontificate. As many have similarly done, Burke welcomed the return of consistory’s to the Vatican’s regular life, since it offers a chance to “discuss important questions with regard to the Church.” But he also raised his concerns about the small table “synodal” group method which has largely replaced the traditional open discussion. As for synodality itself, on which the cardinals were briefed during Saturday’s meeting, the American prelate said that it “remains unresolved.” “There really needs to be a …
Vatican Responded "Good Luck" to the Catholic State Idea: Today, Bishop Bernard Fellay FSSPX ordained five priests and three deacons in Écône. During his homily, he claimed "a small incident" witnessed by all the leading figures of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, including the Prefect, the Secretary and the Undersecretary. The FSSPX said that they want to win over individuals but also societies for Christ. The alleged response from the Congregation: "Good luck." Monsignor Fellay comments: "They no longer believe it."
Mgr Fellay reports this highly revealing anecdote about the mindset of the Roman authorities. When the FSSPX tells them that it wants to work to bring souls and societies back to God, these same authorities say to it, "Good luck!" They no longer believe in it!
Canada Day is a statutory holiday to mark the anniversary of the Canadian Confederation which occurred on July 1, 1867. So on July 1 it's Canada's birthday. For the occasion, Toronto's Cardinal Frank Leo has released a good message. He rightly reflects on the meaning of being human, of freedom and truth. What kind of nation are we building? What are we celebrating? Here's what he says: My Dear Brothers and Sisters, May Jesus and Mary be in your hearts. In the coming days we will celebrate Canada Day, a time when we rightly commemorate what Canada is: a land of peace, opportunity, and security. Gratitude matters, and it is important to recognize our blessings and give thanks. Yet this year, I would invite the faithful of the Archdiocese of Toronto to consider a deeper, more searching question undergirding our celebrations: “Who are we becoming?” not only as individuals, but as a nation. Many of the tensions we experience today—our debates, divisions, polarization and uncertainties—…
Whenever Prevost (and, sadly, Bergoglio, his predecessor and mentor) makes an appointment it reminds one of the quote "a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds."
Leo XIV About to Appoint Another Female Prefect: According to today's report on MessaInLatino.it, Sister Alessandra Smerilli, the current Secretary of the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development, is set to become the Prefect of the same Dicastery. The decree has reportedly already been signed, but there has been considerable upheaval in the Vatican. Cardinal Fabio Baggio, the current Undersecretary, is expected to be appointed Pro-Prefect or Secretary. Sister Smerilli was one of Francis's most trusted lay religious advisers and a promoter of synodality, women's leadership in church governance and integral ecology. She is also a frequent participant in UN, G20 and interfaith initiatives.

Cardenal torturado bajo el comunismo, sube a la Colina de las Apariciones El cardenal Ernest Simoni, de 97 años, que fue torturado por el régimen comunista de Albania, subió el 23 de junio a la Colina de las Apariciones de Medjugorje, la víspera del 45.º aniversario del inicio de las presuntas apariciones. hmtv
Le cardinal Ernest Simoni, l’un des grands témoins de la persécution communiste contre l’Église en Europe, a gravi ce mardi la Colline des Apparitions de Medjugorje, la veille du 45ᵉ anniversaire du début des prétendues apparitions mariales. À 97 ans, et après avoir passé dix-huit ans en prison et aux travaux forcés sous la dictature communiste d’Albanie, le cardinal a voulu accomplir personnellement le pèlerinage au lieu où des milliers de fidèles prient chaque année le Rosaire. L’image du cardinal âgé parcourant le sentier escarpé de Podbrdo a été accueillie avec émotion par de nombreux pèlerins rassemblés à Medjugorje, qui célèbre ces jours-ci l’anniversaire d’événements commencés le 24 juin 1981 et qui ont fait de cette petite localité de Bosnie-Herzégovine l’une des principales destinations de pèlerinage marial au monde. Un témoin de la persécution communiste Ernest Simoni a survécu à l’une des persécutions religieuses les plus dures du XXᵉ siècle. Ordonné …'Besdal

What do you think? Mons Conley: "The faithful should not be forced to go to a community separate from Peter to find the Traditional Mass"
Bishop James Conley, Lincoln: "There is a resurgence of interest in all things traditional, especially among young people. I see it in my own diocese. They want reverence. They want transcendence. They want beauty in the liturgy." "Thanks be to God we have not only the Fraternity of Saint Peter, but I have a couple of priests who celebrate, with permission of the Holy See, a Sunday Mass in the Extraordinary Form... It's my hope that as they continue to ordain priests... they will be able to meet the needs of the people who desire this form of the Mass." "So don't give up and don't jump ship."
The Novus Ordo was a product of hell and has destroyed the faith of countless Catholics. The youth deserve the traditional Mass, not the protestant version of it.
Vatican Appeal Court Upholds Conviction of Becciu Accuser: The Vatican Court of Appeal has upheld the conviction of Nicola Giampaolo for slandering Cardinal Angelo Becciu over his role at the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints. The ruling confirms the Vatican Tribunal's October 2025 judgment, leaving Giampaolo's three-and-a-half-year prison sentence and damages in place. The case stemmed from Giampaolo's claims on the Italian TV program Report that money had been requested to advance the beatification cause of former Italian Prime Minister and personal friend of Pope Paul VI, Aldo Moro. The Vatican has now definitively ruled those allegations were criminal slander.
Condanna definitiva per calunnia del testimone di Report, Nicola Giampaolo. Altro crollo nel castello accusatorio contro il Cardinal Becciu
[http://korazym.org/Blog dell’Editore, 26.06.2026 – Vik van Brantegem] – La conferma della condanna per calunnia di Nicola Giampaolo chiude definitivamente uno dei filoni più controversi della campagna mediatica contro il Cardinale Angelo Becciu. Dopo la sentenza di primo grado e il comunicato del Dicastero delle Cause dei Santi, arriva ora anche il giudizio definitivo della Corte d’appello dello Stato della Città del Vaticano, mentre resta aperta la riflessione sul ruolo svolto da parte dell’informazione nella costruzione del “caso Becciu”. La notizia di oggi La Corte d’appello vaticana ha confermato integralmente la sentenza pronunciata il 29 ottobre 2025 dal Tribunale vaticano nei confronti di Nicola Giampaolo, riconosciuto colpevole del reato di calunnia nei confronti del Cardinale Angelo Becciu e di Padre Bogusław Stanisław Turek, C.S.M.A., Sottosegretario del Dicastero delle Cause dei Santi. È stata quindi confermata anche la pena di tre anni e sei mesi di reclusione e il …
Buy some raw peanuts. Place them a few inches into the ground. When the plant dies pull them out. It was a lot of fun when I introduced this to others on yt. Before you knew it. Everyone was growing them in all my gardening circles. It was fun and I enjoyed watching others having fun doing it. Peanuts are good for us anyhow. IF you aren't allergic to them that is.
"Leo XIV's Likely Next Female Prefect Is Manipulative Careerist": According to SilereNonPossum.com, Sr Alessandra Smerilli's rapid rise through the ranks of the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development — from Under-Secretary in 2021 to Secretary in 2022 — was driven by strategic networking and cultivating influential allies rather than competence. Her close ties to Monsignor Roberto Campisi, 47, opened doors to powerful Vatican circles. She repeatedly met privately with Pope Leo XIV, portraying those around him as untrustworthy and positioning herself as loyal protector.

The State of Affairs at L'Osservatore Romano: During today's Angelus, Pope Leo XIV greeted homeless people present in St Peter's Square who were distributing L'Osservatore di strada, a supplement of L'Osservatore Romano. According to Silere non possum, Andrea Monda, editor-in-chief of L'Osservatore Romano, requested that a greeting to the distributors be included in the Pope's prepared text. Monda attended the Angelus in St Peter's Square. SilereNonPossum.com adds that Monda does not usually go to the office even on days when he is expected to be there, that public interest in L'Osservatore di strada is "non-existent," and that Monda is personally responsible for the costly project out of an "obsession."
Angelus: Pope Leo Reads, Andrea Monda Gets the … Among the greetings drafted by the Prefecture of the Papal Household for the Pope was one addressed to the homeless people present in St Peter’s Square to distribute L’Osservatore di strada, a supplement to L’Osservatore Romano. Naturally, the request came from Andrea Monda himself. A man who does not usually go to the office even on the days when he is expected to be there was hardly likely to spend a Sunday in St Peter’s Square beneath the scorching Roman sun of recent days. But having secured confirmation from the Prefecture that the short passage had been inserted into the text prepared for the Pope, Monda could not miss the occasion. He had to be there, he had to be seen, he had to make his presence visible at the very moment Leo XIV spoke about the costly paper. And so there he was in St Peter’s Square, beside a banner that had cost hundreds of euros, waving his arms about in his embarrassing braces to greet the Pope, who, puzzled …'Besdal
Companies have been dialing back their LGBTQ+ Pride messaging since President Donald Trump took office last year, and analysts say that contributes to a less divisive marketplace. “This is both a market correction and a cultural correction,” Allen Mendenhall, a senior adviser for The Heritage Foundation’s Free Enterprise Initiative, told the Daily Signal. “After years of performative corporate activism, companies are rediscovering that their customers—particularly families—do not want firms serving as vehicles for ideological agendas.” “Businesses are increasingly rejecting pressure from activist investors and corporate bureaucracies in favor of listening to consumers and respecting longstanding moral and religious convictions,” he added. “Top-down cultural engineering is losing its grip.” Many companies have adopted Pride messaging as a result of the environmental, social, and governance investing movement. Investors used ESG standards to direct their dollars, and they often …
Armenian leaders from Nagorno-Karabakh have criticized the Vatican for remaining silent about the destruction of Armenian Christian heritage and the forced displacement of Armenians after Azerbaijan's takeover of the region in 2023. Beglaryan Artak, former human rights ombudsman of Artsakh, told the Substack.com-Account The Pillar (June 26) that the Vatican has failed to defend Armenian churches and monuments. He argued that Azerbaijan has successfully influenced the Holy See to avoid speaking out. He added many Armenians feel abandoned by the Church - although the Armenians split from the Church after the Council of Chalcedon (451). The criticism targets the Vatican's close relationship with Azerbaijan. Armenians point to major restoration projects in the Vatican funded by the government-linked Heydar Aliyev Foundation and to the 2020 papal honor awarded to Azerbaijan's First Lady, Mehriban Aliyeva. #newsNkkklkilwf

Liturgical Argument. The Catholic Church, directed by the Holy Spirit of God, is the pillar and base of truth and has ever held as divinely revealed and as contained in the deposit of heavenly revelation this doctrine concerning the original innocence of the august Virgin — a doctrine which is so perfectly in harmony with her wonderful sanctity and preeminent dignity as Mother of God — and thus has never ceased to explain, to teach and to foster this doctrine age after age in many ways and by solemn acts.
