OU institutdubonpasteur.org/donations/soutenir-l-ibp… pour faire un don défiscalisé ! Un grand merci à tous nos donateurs sans qui l'aventure CREDO s'arrêterait ! ______________________________ Don Camillo, le curé bagarreur qui discute avec Jésus et se dispute avec le maire communiste du village : une comédie culte, mais que dit-elle vraiment de l'Église catholique ? L'Abbé Cottard réagit à quelques scènes du film : le secret de confession, le droit d'asile, le pardon des offenses, le baptême du fils de Pépon, la coopération au mal. Avec humour et sans détour, il démêle ce qui est juste, ce qui est exagéré, et ce que le film révèle malgré lui sur la doctrine catholique.
“Roman Mass Can Never Be Suppressed”: Masses in the traditional Roman rite are full of “young people, young married couples, and families with many children,” Cardinal Raymond Burke told Michael Knowles on August 15. Returning young Catholics “want the traditional liturgy,” he said. While there is no question that the Novus Ordo is valid, the older rite “communicates more fully and more richly the divine action.” Burke expects “an ever greater number of Catholics” to worship as Catholics did “for over 15 centuries”. Looking to Leo XIV, Cardinal Burke urges Catholics to make their wishes known “to their bishops and to the Holy Father most of all,” while making clear they are not questioning Vatican II. He insists the Mass “was never suppressed and never could be.” Burke recalls a bishop with “no attraction” to the Roman rite nevertheless describing its adherents as “some of our most devout Catholics” and asking: “Why would I deny that to them?”
Cardinal Burke to Michael Knowles on traditional Roman Mass: “The most important thing for those who love the traditional Latin Mass is to make known to their bishops - and to the Holy Father most of all - their desire to worship according to this form and that they’re not calling into question the validity of the Second Vatican Council”
@brhenry But first we have the anathemas of Trent against changing the Catholic rites to new ones and against Masses in the vulgar language. So, if the Bugnini-Montini rites were/are anathema why should we - as Catholics, not neo-modernists - care about them?
U.S. sailors are freaking out off the coast of Iran—literally: “I hope I don’t wake up tomorrow,” write the terrified sailors as they lose their minds. What happened? A nine-month voyage to the shores of Iran. ---- Well, we’ve actually finished fighting. The crew of the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln is freaking out. “I hope I don’t wake up tomorrow,” say the terrified sailors; some are trying to jump overboard. So what happened, you ask? It’s just a mission off the coast of Iran that’s already been dragging on for nine months. ---- The sailors’ wives have panicked. “I hope I don’t wake up tomorrow,” a sailor from the aircraft carrier messaged his wife via instant messaging. So many such messages from the crew have come in that the information has already leaked to the press. The situation aboard the Abraham Lincoln was reported not only by specialized military publications such as *Navy Times* and *Stars and Stripes*, but also by the British newspaper *The Guardian* ---- “*Navy …More
On August 15, InfoVaticana.com noted a pattern in Leo XIV’s 2026 liturgies: the Roman Canon has been absent from nearly all the year’s major solemnities. At the Assumption Mass, Eucharistic Prayer III was used instead, as it was at Easter, Pentecost, Corpus Christi, and Saints Peter and Paul. The Canon has not disappeared entirely: Leo XIV used it on Holy Thursday and at a Sacred Heart Mass in Tenerife on June 12. For more than fourteen centuries, the Roman Canon stood at the heart of the Roman rite, its roots reaching deep into the earliest centuries of Christian worship in Rome. #newsQwvjswksfd
These father and son, Fr. Peter and Fr. Andrew Infanger, are both Catholic priests in the United States. After his wife’s death, Fr. Peter discerned a vocation to the priesthood and was ordained for the Diocese of Joliet, while his son, Fr. Andrew, serves as a priest in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee.
Catholics shouldn't be cross posting Russian propaganda. Isn't that a sin against the Faith?
The KGB’s “active measures” didn’t die with the Soviet Union—they evolved. When Russia abandoned communist ideology publicly, it freed Kremlin propagandists to become “much more ecumenical in devising propaganda and disinformation themes,” using diverse tactics and language patterns to target both left and right.
The Vatican (Cardinal Tucho Fernández) has removed from the priesthood a San Antonio priest for publicly referring to Francis and Leo XIV as "usurpers". Fr. John Mary Foster founded the Mission of Divine Mercy in 2001, a small Catholic community in the Texas Hill Country. He was incardinated into the Archdiocese of San Antonio in November 2009. In April 2026, a canonical tribunal found Foster guilty of schism, meaning refusal of submission to the Roman Pontiff. The archdiocesan notice specifically describes this as “a crime against the faith.” The tribunal held that Foster had incurred latae sententiae excommunication and dismissed him from the clerical state. The sentence was publicly announced by Archbishop Gustavo García-Siller, 69, of San Antonio on August 14, 2026. The trial The judicial process was authorized by the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith. The tribunal consisted of three judges, a notary, a promoter of justice, and an advocate for Foster. The three judges were …More
The Words of Jesus: All sins, in the Eyes of God, will be deemed acceptable by this new inclusive-Church. Any one who dares to challenge him will be sought out and punished. Those priests, bishops and cardinals who oppose him will be excommunicated and stripped of their titles. Others will be bullied and persecuted with many priests having to go into hiding. To those poor sacred servants of Mine who recognise My Voice now, please hear Me as I reach out to you to bring you comfort. You have been given the responsibility to testify on My behalf in order to save the souls of those whom you instruct and guide. All you can do is trust in Me and continue to serve Me. What you must not do is to accept any doctrine presented to you and which you will know, instantly, is not in accordance with My Teachings. You must do what your heart tells you, but know this. This period is going to cause you deep pain and the raw grief you will experience when you see how My Church will be desecrated will …More
I must commend the coherency not only of the messages but also of his disposition. The earnest witness is endearing. Please God all will be well. They are plainly not schismatic.
In fact, he say: Do not "proselitize"! Just be expert in listening to all other heretics, who are outside of the Church (as he is, and his, oh so beloved teacher Bergoglio was). Th only difference between those two is that this one bravely reads all de scripts which are written for him, by we can guess who.
Cardinal Cobo Turns the Consecration into a Theatrical Display: On 15 August, Cardinal José Cobo of Madrid delivered a liturgically abusive, theatrical presentation of the consecration at the Eucharist for the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the Parish Church of the Virgen de la Paloma in Madrid. While saying the words of consecration - “Take this, all of you, and eat of it, for this is my Body” - Cardinal Cobo looked towards the congregation and extended the bread towards them. He made a similar gesture with the chalice while saying, “Take this, all of you, and drink from it.” The Eucharist was broadcast live on Telemadrid.
¿Qué clase de consagración es esta? Las rúbricas son claras: El sacerdote, además, se inclina un poco cuando, en la consagración, pronuncia las palabras del Señor.
[advaticanum] Massimiliano Menichetti, Deputy Director of the Editorial Directorate of the Dicastery for Communication and head of Vatican Radio–Vatican News, has reacted to the new Massachusetts law that legalises abortion up until birth. Menichetti made the comments in an article for Vatican News entitled Abortion is never a real choice. He opened the editorial by commenting on a mother who had protected the life of her newborn son with her own body after the recent earthquake in Cali, Colombia. He described the images appearing online of the woman and child being brought out alive as “stories that underscore truth, beauty, communion”. He contrasted this “fraternal, supportive society, intent on saving, taking care of, taking responsibility for the other” with recent events in Massachusetts, where abortion has been legalised for any reason up until birth. Menichetti said: “About 4,300 kilometers away, in Massachusetts in the United States, the scene is completely different: it is …More

[Blaise Pascal – XVII Century AD; born: Clermont-Ferrand, France/died: Paris, France; Mathematics/Physics/Theology] 73. But perhaps this subject goes beyond the capacity of reason. Let us therefore examine her solutions to problems within her powers. If there be anything to which her own interest must have made her apply herself most seriously, it is the inquiry into her own sovereign good. Let us see, then, wherein these strong and clear-sighted souls have placed it and whether they agree. One says that the sovereign good consists in virtue, another in pleasure, another in the knowledge of nature, another in truth, Felix qui potuit rerum cognoscere causas, another in total ignorance, another in indolence, others in disregarding appearances, another in wondering at nothing, nihil admirari prope res una quae possit facere et servare beatum, and the true sceptics in their indifference, doubt, and perpetual suspense, and others, wiser, think to find a better definition. We are well satisfied. …More
"76. To write against those who made too profound a study of science: Descartes. 77. I cannot forgive Descartes. In all his philosophy he would have been quite willing to dispense with God. But he had to make Him give a fillip to set the world in motion; beyond this, he has no further need of God. 78. Descartes useless and uncertain. 79. Descartes.—We must say summarily: "This is made by figure and motion," for it is true. But to say what these are, and to compose the machine, is ridiculous. For it is useless, uncertain, and painful. And were it true, we do not think all Philosophy is worth one hour of pain."
– Folha de S. Paulo, January 16, 1978 by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira Once upon a time, intelligent and strong people lived in a beautiful region. Everything would have made their lives easy, leading them toward a glorious future, had it not been for the countless centuries of barbarism that weighed upon them. With barbarism came primitive and crude beliefs, pagan customs, and the vice of living at the expense of their neighbors through wars of plunder. All this was around the year 1000. Astonished by its age, the civilized world imagined itself old. Some extravagant people even thought it was coming to an end. However, the world — and more precisely, the West — was being born into all the glories of civilization that soon shone upon it. Almost everywhere, men of valor began leading their peoples along paths toward prosperity and greatness. Among these men were many saints. The prominent men of that era agreed that, in essence, a man’s highest value lies in being a saint. A warrior, a sage …More
