"It would serve the Pope very well if he laid out in just plain simple terms, yes or no: am I going to continue Pope Francis’s restrictive policies or am I going to return to what Pope Benedict and John Paul II before him did, and to give the reasons for it?", said New York priest Fr. Gerald Murray on October 2 about Leo XIV’s course on the traditional Latin Mass. The canon lawyer was also commenting on a proposal by a Vatican synodal commission to completely revise Canon Law. Murray argues that governance is a gift given by Christ to the apostles and passed to the bishops. Regarding the extension of governance to the laity, he issues a warning: "We’re heading towards Episcopalianism, where lay people actually exercise a governing role in the Anglican Church."
Leo XIV should disclose - yes or no - if he is following Francis' way or not.
In the traditional Latin Mass, the sacrificial character is “very strongly visible,” Eduard Habsburg said at the Catholic Identity Conference in Pittsburgh on October 3. He spent 54 years in the Novus Ordo before discovering the Latin Mass, which “gives you space to sink into prayer and to contemplate and to meditate.” He also contrasted the two forms of the Mass: In the Latin Mass, “the sacrifice is very strongly visible.” But “in today’s Mass it is present but not as much in the forefront as in the Latin Mass.”
Eduard Habsburg, former Hungary’s ambassador to the Holy See: “If you follow the Traditional Latin Mass every day, you will notice that the reality of sacrifice, dying for the sins of others, giving your blood for the others — just the sacrifice is very strongly visible.”

What We Learned About American Teenagers Supplying Guns to Cartels nytimes.com/…rld/americas/american-teenage-gun-tr… Our reporting revealed how Mexican criminal groups are relying on teenagers and young adults in border states like Arizona to help supply their weapons. By Paulina Villegas Reporting from Phoenix Oct. 3, 2026 Leer en español Earlier this year, I was in Phoenix watching three teenagers shoot high-caliber rifles into the desert. Each shot cracked through the air and echoed across the open expanse. These teenagers are part of a network of American high school students and young adults who serve as key conduits in transnational gun trafficking, buying military-style rifles and selling them directly to Mexican cartel operatives. According to law enforcement officials, trafficking experts and the American high schoolers I interviewed, the emerging network relies on American youths who are motivated not by cartel loyalty, but by profits and social status. The gun trade is often …More
246th Anniversary Since Agnes Mathieu Gained Her Freedom PBS program, History Detectives segment, “The Gálvez Papers“. In 1779 the Governor of Spanish colonial Louisiana signed a document that emancipated Agnes Mathieu from slavery. What was so special about Agnes that a Governor had to sign off on her release? Most freedom papers from the time bear only the signature of the former slaveholder notarized by a local clerk. But Governor Bernardo de Gálvez had a special interest in this case.

In the French Quarter, at Tulane University, and on the shelves of a local archive we discovers Governor Galvez’s pivotal role in America’s fight for freedom – both in the Revolutionary War and in a romantic story of our contributor’s past.

‘Life of Mary’ by Bl. Anne Catherine Emmerich; Part II; Chapter 2. IMMACULATE CONCEPTION…’; ‘4.5 AGITATION IN NATURE AND MANKIND.…‘pages 73-74; points 4.5 [Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich – XVIII-XIX Century AD; born: Flamschen, Holy Roman Empire/died: Dulmen, German Confederation; Mystic; Stigmatist, Writer] 4.5 AGITATION IN NATURE AND MANKIND AT MARY’S BIRTH. At the time of Mary’s birth I saw a great and joyful agitation in nature, in the animal world, in the hearts of all good men, and I heard the sound of sweet singing. Sinners, however, were overwhelmed by fear and sorrow. I saw, specially near Nazareth, but also in the rest of the Promised Land, many who were possessed break out at that time into violent ravings. They were hurled from side to side with loud cries, and the devils shrieked from within them, ‘We must surrender, we must go out!’ In Jerusalem I saw how the aged priest Simeon, who lived in the Temple, was startled at the moment of Mary’s birth by loud shrieks coming from …More
"We must all go out! A virgin has been born! There are so many angels on earth who torment us! We must now go out and may nevermore enter into men!’ I saw Simeon praying fervently; the wretched man was flung back and forth on the open space, and I saw the devil go out of him. It gave me great pleasure to see the aged Simeon."
