Bishop Hugh Gilbert of Aberdeen, Scotland, issued a pastoral letter on Saturday ahead of the planned episcopal consecration of Fr. Michael Mary, F.SS.R., superior general and founder of the Transalpine Redemptorists. The "consecration" is scheduled to take place on July 25 on Papa Stronsay in Orkney. It is performed by three Sedevacantist "bishops" from the Americas. Bishop Gilbert said the consecration would constitute an act of schism. He compared it with the July 1 consecration of four bishops by the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X. The bishop noted that the planned consecration directly concerns the Diocese of Aberdeen because Papa Stronsay lies within its geographical boundaries. At the same time, Bishop Gilbert expanded the provision of the Mass in the Roman rite at the Church of Our Lady of the Garioch and St. John the Evangelist in Fetternear. The Mass, previously offered once a month, will now be celebrated every Sunday. After the Transalpine Redemptorists became Sedevacantist …More

Canonist Gerald V. McDevitt explains the concept of 'tacit resignation of office' showing there is a lower bar for 'public defection from the faith' and accompanying renunciation than some claim. Sep 13, 2024 Editor’s Notes Bishop Gerald Vincent McDevitt studied at the Pontifical Roman Seminary in Rome, and was ordained in 1942. Following ordination, he completed his doctorate in Canon Law in 1945. What follows in this article is an extract from his doctoral dissertation The Renunciation of an Ecclesiastical Office, published here with the kind permission of The Catholic University of America Press. The dissertation is on the concept of “tacit resignation” in Canon 188 of the 1917 Code of Canon law, the meaning of a “public defection of faith” in §4, and how this public defection results in the resignation mentioned. In 1952, McDevitt’s star began to rise, and he was appointed secretary at the Washington DC Apostolic Delegation. In 1962, John XXIII appointed him auxiliary bishop of the …More

27K views · 1.2K reactions | Beet kraut is an excellent first ferment to make at home. Beetroot brings natural sweetness and earthy flavour, and cabbage is a classic starting point for fermentation. To make it, finely shred cabbage and grate or julienne raw beetroot. Weigh everything, then add 2% salt by weight (20g of salt for every 1kg of vegetables). Massage the vegetables for 5 to 10 minutes until they release plenty of liquid. Pack them tightly into a clean jar, pressing firmly to remove air pockets and ensuring the vegetables stay completely submerged beneath their own brine. If needed, use a fermentation weight or a small clean jar to keep them below the surface. Leave it to ferment at room temperature for around 7 to 14 days, depending on how warm your kitchen is and how tangy you like it. Once you’re happy with the flavour, move it to the fridge, where it will continue to develop slowly over the following weeks. By the end, you’ll have a colourful kraut that’s delicious alongside …More
On 19 July, from Menzingen, Switzerland, Fr Davide Pagliarani, Superior General of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX), issued another pastoral letter published on LaPorteLatine.org justifying the illicit consecration of bishops against the will of Pope Leo XIV. Key phrases (full letter below). - "Until the very last day, I hoped for a gesture of goodwill—or at least of simple understanding—from the Holy See." - "This condemnation, wholly unjust, represents an immense humiliation for people whose only desire is to defend the true Faith and to labor for the salvation of souls." - " I want you to understand that this profound humiliation, which first affects the members of the Society, has a meaning in the eyes of God that must not escape you." - "The sanctions are also intended to strike you in a rather cruel way." - "If, in order to ensure for it the teaching of the true Faith and the administration of the true sacraments, it is necessary to pay the price of such humiliation …More
I disagree vehemently with the Superior General. The false, invalid condemnation is NOT a humiliation. No, not at all. For the FSSX Faithful it should be a badge of high and holy honor.
Leo XIV Visits Monte Cassino: Today, Pope Leo XIV made a private pilgrimage to the Benedictine Abbey of Monte Cassino, where he prayed at the tomb of St. Benedict, Patron Saint of Europe. Entrusting to the saint his plea for peace in regions torn by war and violence, the Pope joined the Benedictine community in prayer before sharing lunch with the monks.
Questa mattina Papa Leone ha visitato la comunità benedettina di Monte Cassino, dove ha pregato sulla tomba di San Benedetto, «affidandogli la sua supplica per la pace in quelle regioni del mondo segnate da spargimenti di sangue e conflitti». Monte Cassino è la casa madre dell’Ordine benedettino. Ufficio Stampa della Santa Sede
Who “rebelled” against the Vicar of Christ? Or “speaks openly and publicly” against the Holy Father? You must be thinking of gay couples-blessing Jim Martin or porn-writing Kissy.
Religious Sisters Calls Listening to Fetal Heartbeat "Torture": Chilean Dominican sister Licarayén Torres has called a proposed law requiring women to listen to a fetal heartbeat before an abortion “torture.” Speaking in a social media video on July 15, she criticized the Chilean “Listen to His Heart” bill, saying: “Is it Christian, is it evangelical to make women go through this obligation that some lawmakers want to impose?”
Una religiosa chilena calificó de «tortura» el proyecto de ley que obligaría a las mujeres a escuchar el latido fetal antes de abortar, reabriendo el debate sobre el aborto en Chile. La iniciativa, impulsada por partidos de derecha, exige informar sobre la actividad cardíaca embrionaria y permitir escucharla antes del procedimiento, medida que ha generado fuerte controversia política y social.
Unam Sanctam Catholic Infallible Dogma One God, One Faith, One Spiritual Authority Pope Boniface VIII - 1302 Bull of Pope Boniface VIII promulgated November 18, 1302 Urged by faith, we are obliged to believe and to maintain that the Church is one, holy, catholic, and also apostolic. We believe in her firmly and we confess with simplicity that outside of her there is neither salvation nor the remission of sins, as the Spouse in the Canticles [Sgs 6:8] proclaims: ‘One is my dove, my perfect one. She is the only one, the chosen of her who bore her,‘ and she represents one sole mystical body whose Head is Christ and the head of Christ is God [1 Cor 11:3]. In her then is one Lord, one faith, one baptism [Eph 4:5]. There had been at the time of the deluge only one ark of Noah, prefiguring the one Church, which ark, having been finished to a single cubit, had only one pilot and guide, i.e., Noah, and we read that, outside of this ark, all that subsisted on the earth was destroyed. We venerate …More

Leo XIV is about to ACQUIT Father Rupnik: MessaInLatino.it reports that the Vatican's canonical trial of Fr. Marko Ivan Rupnik - who was accused by around three dozen (!) female victims of sexual and psychological abuse - has concluded with a favourable outcome for him. If confirmed, this would be further evidence of the deeply flawed Vatican justice system and against the role of Cardinal Tucho Fernández, who managed the trial and its personnel. The case has also long fuelled online speculation that Rupnik possessed compromising information about senior Vatican figures.
"Apprendiamo da voci insistenti e molto autorevoli che il processo penale, in corso in Vaticano, a carico di don Marko Ivan Rupnik si sarebbe concluso con un esito a lui favorevole."
