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.

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.

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.

Actual situation of Saint Peter's Holy See through the guidance of Saint Alphonsus For my understanding of the actual situation of the Holy See of Saint Peter, I searched for guidance in Saint Alphonsus’ writings. There is a cardinal fragment in Alfonso Maria De Liguori: Verità della fede – Torino, Presso Giacinto Marietti Stampatore - 1826., – Volume secondo, Parte terza – Contra i settari che negano là Chiesa Cattolica esser l’unica vera, Capo Primo The English translation of most parts of this cardinal fragment is contained in a Doctoral Dissertation, with the author’s wise comments about our fragment is here: DAVID JOHN SHARROCK, C.SS.R., S.T.L. – The Theological Defense of Papal Power By St. Alphonsus de Liguori In my humble opinion, bonum animarum imposes that the Alphonsian quotation must be interpreted in the logic of his great moral development of equiprobabilism, defending the Church’s visibility, indefectibility and infallibility, used mostly as arguments against the …མང་བ།
La casa de Carlos de Foucauld en el Sáhara, restaurada y a la espera de religiosas. La casa en la que San Carlos de Foucauld quiso ser testigo de Cristo en pleno Sáhara está preparada para acoger de nuevo una comunidad religiosa, pero quienes desean habitarla no consiguen llegar. Noticias - HM Televisión
The house of the Little Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Charles de Foucauld has been restored in Tamanrasset, with the support of Aid to the Church in Need (ACN), but it currently houses only one religious sister. “The call for a female presence in Tamanrasset remains very much alive. The house, rebuilt with the support of ACN, is ready and waiting for those – religious or laywomen – who wish to inhabit it with a faithful, humble presence that is open to encounters in the heart of the desert. It is ready to become a place of fraternal, simple, and Gospel-centered life, at the service of communion,” says Bishop Diego Sarrió Cucarella of the Diocese of Laghouat-Ghardaïa. It is understandable that few people would want to leave everything to go and live in almost complete isolation in the Sahara, in a mostly Muslim country. But the bishop explains that there is no lack of willing women. The problem is exclusively bureaucratic, as those who have shown interest have been unable to obtain the …མང་བ།
Vatican II Church Permits Protestants and Orthodox to Receive Catholic Communion in Particular Cases - The recent beatification ceremony for Archbishop Fulton Sheen, a man whose popularity extended also to many non-Catholics on account of his nationwide radio and television prominence, has drawn renewed attention to a little-known law that has been on the books in the Vatican II Church since the 1980s. Over 43 years ago, Pope John Paul II enshrined in official church law a permission for Protestants and Eastern Orthodox to receive Holy Communion and two other sacraments under certain circumstances — but without renouncing their respective religions.
Honduran Bishop Teodoro Gómez Rivera has died at 63 while traveling to Rome to meet Pope Leo XIV during an ad limina visit. The bishop of Choluteca died Monday during a stopover in Madrid.

Vatican: late IVE founder Carlos Miguel Buela responsible for homosexual offences. The Vatican has publicly addressed the long-running case of Argentine priest Carlos Miguel Buela, founder of the Institute of the Incarnate Word (IVE). The case began formally in May 2020, when Cardinal Santos Abril y Castelló established a Special Penal Tribunal to examine allegations against Buela. After hearing the accused, his lawyer and numerous witnesses, the tribunal issued its judgment on 20 July 2021. It found that Buela had committed offences against the sixth commandment in relation to five male members of the Institute. Buela appealed. A Special Penal Tribunal of Appeal was subsequently constituted and conducted additional investigations, including further testimony from Buela and witnesses proposed by his defence. On 30 March 2023, the appellate judges deliberated and voted to confirm the first tribunal’s finding concerning the five cases. Before the appellate judgment could be formally drafted …མང་བ།

The Bible teaches truth; it teaches us how to get to heaven AND how the heavens go. The two are one. Christ died and rose from the dead. The sun, the preserver of life, 'dies' and rises from the 'dead'. Nature reflects the divine.
But, to be honest Galileo was no scientist (he presented no proof on his theory) - only a polemist/publicist who mocked Urban VIII as Simplicio. And freemasons love the myth of eppur si muove.
Bishop Johan Bonny of Antwerp, Belgium, is pressing ahead with his plan to ordain married men in 2028. Several married candidates are already being prepared for possible ordination. “I trust that an appropriate regulation can be found by the end of the synodal process in autumn 2028,” Bishop Bonny told Herder Korrespondenz, according to katholisch.de (September 28). Bonny warned that it would be “a fatal blow to the credibility and implementation of the entire synodal process if no regulation were reached by then.” Bishop Bonny also expressed confidence in Pope Leo XIV and his approach to the needs of local Churches. “Like a good father, he knows what his children need, and that is not the same everywhere or for everyone,” Bonny added. He also mentioned that he went to Rome in June with the backing of the Belgian Bishops’ Conference. “Before my visit to the two dicasteries in Rome, the president of the Belgian Bishops’ Conference gave me a letter in which the Bishops’ Conference supports …མང་བ།
It aint gonna work. A priest is already totally occupied with his priestly duties as well as his prayer life. He does not have time to take care of a family. Being the son of a physician, my father was frequently called out at mealtime to deal with emergencies. A priest must sacrifice and devote all his energies in serving God.
WHY DOES THE CHURCH DEDICATE OCTOBER TO THE HOLY ROSARY? | SG News For Catholics around the world, October is traditionally dedicated to the Holy Rosary — a prayer that leads believers to contemplate the life of Jesus Christ through the eyes of His Mother, Mary. But why October? An important part of the story goes back to October 7, 1571, when Pope Saint Pius V called Christians to pray the Rosary as a major naval battle unfolded at Lepanto. After the Christian fleet’s victory, a feast in honour of Our Lady was established, eventually becoming the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, which the Church celebrates each year on October 7. Centuries later, Pope Leo XIII gave October’s Rosary devotion even greater prominence. Beginning in 1883, he repeatedly encouraged Catholics to dedicate the month of October to praying the Rosary, especially during difficult times for the Church and the world. Yet the Rosary is far more than a repetition of prayers. Through its mysteries, Catholics meditate on …མང་བ།
Gaetano Masciullo Sep 22, 2026 Part I. Priest excommunicated after defending Tradition speaks out Fr. Leonardo Maria Pompei tells LifeSiteNews how upholding traditional Catholic teaching through online preaching led to his suspension, a schism charge, and now excommunication. An Italian bishop has declared that Father Leonardo Maria Pompei, a priest in his diocese well known for his online preaching, has incurred automatic excommunication for schism. The decision, announced by Bishop Mariano Crociata of Latina-Terracina-Sezze-Priverno on September 11, came at the conclusion of a canonical investigation requested by the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith after Pompei announced he would resign as a parish priest and continue his ministry within the world of Catholic Tradition. According to statements released by the diocese and as reported by the Italian press, the charge of schism stems from public declarations in which Pompei allegedly stated that he “no longer recognizes himself …མང་བ།
A diocesan bishop has undergone a personal “conversion” toward the traditional Latin Mass. Bishop Donald Lippert of Mendi, Papua New Guinea, has come personally to see the beauty and power of the traditional Roman rite. He told AdVaticanum.com on September 29 that he had “over the last year or so, a bit of a conversion myself into the Traditional Latin Mass.” “I am, as many of us are, an amphibian. I exist mainly in the Novus Ordo, because that is the reality in which I live, and the Church that I have been called to serve at the moment.” He has “no problems with the Novus Ordo”, but sees the power of the traditional Mass particularly in its reverence: “The Traditional Latin Mass has a mysticism about it, and a reverence about it, that can touch the hearts of people and draw them closer to God in a world where there are so many distractions pulling them away.” He is still learning to celebrate the Mass. Mass not primarily for educated Western people When someone told him that the Mass …མང་བ།
