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 …More
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.

Audience générale : la reconstruction de Notre-Dame, symbole de « renaissance » exprime Léon XIV A l'Audience Générale, #LéonXIV revient sur les étapes de son voyage en France. La cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris illumine symboliquement ce voyage apostolique et en offre une clé de lecture : la « renaissance ». En intégralité sur KTO & ktotv.com
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 …More
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 …More

He's been warning those crazy lunatics for too long. They won't listen as usual. 56+ countries think if they ganged up on one country they will succeed in destroying Russia and breaking her up into several sections. But it's guaranteed by GOD that "RUSSIA" WILL BE SAVED"!
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. Gómez Rivera had led the diocese since 2023 and was vice president of the Honduran Bishops’ Conference. ACI Prensa, citing an unnamed Church source in Honduras, reported that he died from respiratory arrest and had diabetes. Spanish authorities are conducting an autopsy following his sudden death.

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.

Sunday, 28th September 1913 Judge Hill May Hear Frank Case, The Atlanta Georgian The Atlanta Georgian, Sunday, 28th September 1913, PAGE 7, COLUMN 5. Notice of Judge Roan Compels Solicitor Dorsey to Prepare Answer By October 11. Who will sit as judge on the appeal of Leo Frank's lawyers for a new trial? Judge L. S. Roan, eager to dispose of all his Superior Court cases before he takes the seat on the Court of Appeals bench to which he was appointed. Saturday requested Solicitor General Dorsey to have all pending motions set for October 4 and October 11. He expressed at the same time the hope that the Frank motion be decided, so far as the Superior Court is concerned, by that time. However, the amended motion for a new trial has not been served on the Solicitor by Frank's attorneys. It is considered likely that Mr. Dorsey will require a longer time than the two weeks before October 11 in which to study the case the defense sets forth, and to prepare his answer. It is likely, also, Judge …More

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 …More
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 …More
