The newly appointed Bishop Christian Würtz of Eichstätt, Germany, expects further debate over priestly celibacy, he told Br.de on July 12. On Tuesday, Pope Leo XIV appointed him from auxiliary bishop of Freiburg to the diocesan bishop of Eichstätt. During Germany's Synodal Way in 2022, he voted in favour of "blessings" for homosexual concubines and the "ordination" of women-clergy. When asked about his predecessor, Msgr. Gregor Maria Hanke, who voted against those Synodal Way documents, Bishop Würtz said: "I think it goes too far to conclude from that that there are fundamental differences between him and me." He described the different beliefs as "factional disputes." Instead, he said, the focus should be on "what unites us": "That is also an important aspect of synodality - listening to one another, walking together, and learning from one another." When it came to the topic of priestly celibacy, Bishop Würtz said: "This will certainly be a question that continues to occupy us in the …Ավելին

On 28 June, the closing day of Munich "Pride" weekend, the Cathedral of Munich, Germany, hosted its first Christopher Street Day (CSD) Youth Liturgy. The liturgy included scripture readings, prayers, music and personal blessings. The event was organised jointly by the Cathedral Parish, the Catholic youth organisation BDKJ, and the Queer Pastoral Ministry of the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising. The organisers of the 'Catholic' cathedral service also participated in the Munich homosex march. BDKJ members marched carrying a large rainbow banner bearing the words 'Love is no sin'. They also carried a large orange banner depicting Jesus Christ with the slogan 'Jesus would dance with us at CSD!'. Both banners displayed the BDKJ logo to identify them as part of the organisation's official participation in the homosex march. Picture: AI, #newsXyryhufnmj

In March 1976, the Italian magazine Chiesa Viva revealed Cardinal Achille Liénart's membership in the highest degrees of Freemasonry.

This admission was …Ավելին
Spanish Archbishop Rejects Opposition to Mosque: Archbishop José Ángel Saiz Meneses of Seville addressed the proposed mosque in the city at a press conference on Friday. He cited Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 16 of the Spanish Constitution, and Vatican II's Dignitatis Humanae, emphasizing that religious freedom is both a universal and constitutional right. He added that these rights must be exercised in accordance with state, regional, local, and municipal law. His remarks come as Seville City Council has postponed a decision on the mosque's building permit while seeking additional technical and legal reports following objections from the political party Vox.
Los obispos que hace no mucho hablaban de la ‘Prioridad del Evangelio’ contra posiciones políticas, ahora hablan de “constitución” y “libertad religiosa” frente a la construcción de macromezquitas y centros médicos que hablan de ‘Prioridad musulmana’.
What do you think of that? Archbishop Lenga just said: SSPX excommunications mean nothing before God. He called the real schismatics "cardinals and bishops inside the Vatican" – and said Pope Leo no longer represents the Church that leads souls to salvation.
Lombardy's Bishops on Their Phones: All ten bishops of Lombardy gathered from July 5–10 at the Hermitage of Montecastello in Tignale del Garda for their annual Spiritual Exercises, led by Bishop Massimiliano Palinuro, Apostolic Administrator of Istanbul.

Vescovi della Chiesa cattolica (in questo caso della Lombardia) intenti a compulsare i telefonini, evidentemente alla ricerca di nuove vie per la Chiesa in uscita (Diocesi Cremona)
Above all: that's not "Let it be, it's summertime". While they are there for their Spiritual Exercises. .......... Not to excuse them: fear of being reported as "old-minded" may also act
It is so asinine to ask “why did they do that” as if any there could be any reason sufficient to justify it. It’s a disgusting error that never should have seen the light of day. Ever!

What We Have Lost ...and the Road to Restoration What We Have Lost ...and the Road to Restoration: A critical look at the changes in the Catholic Church The opening commentary of this video, delivered by the late and faithful Catholic gentleman Dr. David Allen White, extends to approximately the 7:14 mark. Dr. White—a close friend of our beloved Bishop Richard Williamson and a trusted companion to many traditional Catholic priests—speaks with clarity, conviction, and a deep love for the Church. His words provide essential context for understanding the grave crisis we face in the wake of the Second Vatican Council. I urge you: do not merely watch the introduction—watch the entire video. To grasp the full extent of the confusion and betrayal afflicting the Church in this era of Vatican II, one must listen carefully, prayerfully, and in full. Only then can we begin to see the truth and reclaim the faith handed down to us by the saints. This video offers an intimate, up-close look at the …Ավելին

He took the paten with the pieces of bread (I do not know whether he had placed it on the chalice) and said: ‘Take and eat; this is my Body which is given for you.’ He stretched forth his right hand as if to bless, and, whilst he did so, a brilliant light came from him, his words were luminous, the bread entered the mouths of the Apostles as a brilliant substance, and light seemed to penetrate and surround them all, Judas alone remaining dark.

The Mastermind Behind the Synod’s Two Testimonies on Homosexuality Se sabe quién escribió el testimonio portugués During the time of the World Youth Day held in Portugal (August 2023), Father James Martin, SJ — a leading figure in the Catholic gay lobby — traveled to Lisbon to give talks before secondary-school and university students at the order’s educational institutions (“Poor kids and poor parents!”). Under those circumstances, he also made time to travel to the shrine of Fátima, in the company of João and Lourenço, as he himself recounts in an article for Outreach. They had been introduced to him because João, who carried out a ministry in the basilica providing sign-language interpretation for deaf pilgrims, was an expert connoisseur of the Sanctuary. But there was another matter that would put them in tune with one another: João and Lourenço — the latter “a leader in a Christian Life Community in Lisbon” — were going to contract a civil marriage one month later and, having read …Ավելին

'We have been taught that only they may aim at immortality who have lived a holy and virtuous life near to God. We believe that they who live wickedly and do not repent will be punished in everlasting fire.' St. Justin Marytr TIA: Saint Peter Damian refers to the homosexual lifestyle as "the queen of sodomy," which enslaves and degrades its victims, strips them of their peace, and instills in them a frenzied obsession with pleasure. He also notes that those who engage in this type of behavior feel driven to drag others into the same misery, becoming homosexual "militants." Remig Catena Aurea: Sodom and Gomorrah are especially mentioned, to shew that those sins which are against nature are particularly hateful to God, for which the world was drowned with the waters of the deluge, four towns were overthrown, and the world is daily afflicted with manifold evils.
