The Euthanasia Bill in Britain is defeated, for now. The House of Commons has rejected the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, defeating the latest attempt to legalize assisted suicide in England and Wales. MPs voted 286 to 270 against the legislation at its second reading. This is a decisive reversal that ends the bill’s progress through Parliament. Had it passed, the law would have allowed terminally ill adults with a life expectancy of less than six months to receive “assistance” in ending their lives under “specified conditions.” Opposition came from far beyond religious and pro-life circles. Doctors, disability advocates, legal experts, and others warned that vulnerable people could face subtle pressure or coercion, while serious concerns remained about safeguards and the state of Britain’s palliative and hospice care. Archbishop John Sherrington of Liverpool welcomed the result and thanked MPs, healthcare professionals, lawyers, disability organizations, people of different …Meira
Lovforslaget om eutanasi i Storbritannien er foreløbig blevet forkastet. Underhuset har forkastet lovforslaget om uhelbredeligt syge voksne (livets afslutning), hvilket har sat en stopper for det seneste forsøg på at legalisere assisteret selvmord i England og Wales. Ved andenbehandlingen stemte parlamentsmedlemmerne 286 mod 270 imod lovforslaget. Dette er et afgørende tilbageslag, der sætter en stopper for lovforslagets videre vej gennem parlamentet. Hvis lovforslaget var blevet vedtaget, ville loven have givet uhelbredeligt syge voksne med en forventet levetid på under seks måneder ret til at modtage »hjælp« til at afslutte deres liv under »bestemte betingelser«. Modstanden kom langt ud over religiøse og pro-life-kredse. Læger, handicapforkæmpere, juridiske eksperter og andre advarede om, at sårbare mennesker kunne blive udsat for subtilt pres eller tvang, mens der fortsat var alvorlige bekymringer om sikkerhedsforanstaltninger og tilstanden i Storbritanniens palliative pleje og …Meira
Lagförslaget om eutanasi i Storbritannien har för tillfället röstats ned. Underhuset har avvisat lagförslaget om döende vuxna (livets slutskede), vilket innebär att det senaste försöket att legalisera assisterat självmord i England och Wales har misslyckats. Ledamöterna röstade med 286 mot 270 mot lagförslaget vid den andra behandlingen. Detta är ett avgörande bakslag som sätter stopp för lagförslagets väg genom parlamentet. Hade den antagits skulle lagen ha gjort det möjligt för terminalt sjuka vuxna med en förväntad livslängd på mindre än sex månader att få ”hjälp” att avsluta sina liv under ”specifika villkor”. Motståndet kom långt utanför religiösa och pro-life-kretsar. Läkare, företrädare för personer med funktionsnedsättning, juridiska experter och andra varnade för att utsatta personer kunde utsättas för subtilt tryck eller tvång, samtidigt som allvarliga farhågor kvarstod kring skyddsåtgärderna och tillståndet för Storbritanniens palliativa vård och hospicevård.

Brasiliansk biskop tror på en «gudinne» og omfavner «all seksuell mangfoldighet»: Biskop José Valdeci Santos Mendes (64) fra Brejo i Maranhão ledet en nattverdsgudstjeneste i katedralen «Vår Frue av Unnfangelsen» den 7. september, på Brasils uavhengighetsdag. Etter nattverden og før den avsluttende velsignelsen resiterte to unge menn «Trosbekjennelsen til ungdommen i de kirkelige basismiljøene». Teksten, som ble utarbeidet i 2016, snakker om en «Gud/Gudinne», beskrevet som «befriende og revolusjonerende». Denne trosbekjennelsen avviser uttrykkelig troen på en «hierarkisk kirke», samtidig som den «omfavner all seksuell mangfoldighet». Før opplesningen presenterte biskop Mendes trosbekjennelsen som en «bønn fra ungdommen i Latin-Amerika, som står foran Gud og ber ham om å komme og møte oss».
A heterodox creed invoking a “God/Goddess” and featuring left-wing political language was recited at the annual “Cry of the Excluded” Mass celebrated by Bishop José Valdeci Santos Mendes of Brejo, Brazil.
There are so few African-American bishops because of “racism,” Washington Auxiliary Bishop Robert Boxie said in a September 7 interview with Catholic News Service. He was appointed by Pope Leo XIV on May 1. The numbers: Of 268 active U.S. bishops, five (2%) are Black. Black Americans make up 2% of U.S. Catholics and, over the past 20 years, about 2% of U.S. priestly ordinations.
Why are there so few Black bishops in America? “The short answer is racism.” America’s youngest bishop, Robert Boxie, Auxiliary of Washington.

Lovforslaget om eutanasi i Storbritannia er foreløpig nedstemt. Underhuset har forkastet lovforslaget om terminalt syke voksne (livets slutt), og dermed blottlagt det siste forsøket på å legalisere assistert selvmord i England og Wales. Parlamentsmedlemmene stemte 286 mot 270 mot lovforslaget ved andre behandling. Dette er et avgjørende tilbakeslag som setter en stopper for lovforslagets videre behandling i parlamentet. Hadde den blitt vedtatt, ville loven ha tillatt uhelbredelig syke voksne med en forventet levetid på under seks måneder å motta «assistanse» til å avslutte livet sitt under «spesifiserte betingelser». Motstanden kom fra langt utover religiøse kretser og livsvernbevegelsen. Leger, talsmenn for funksjonshemmede, juridiske eksperter og andre advarte om at sårbare mennesker kunne bli utsatt for subtilt press eller tvang, samtidig som det fortsatt var alvorlig bekymring for sikkerhetstiltakene og tilstanden i Storbritannias palliativ- og hospiceomsorg.

Emma Bonino has died at 78. For decades, she was one of Italy’s most prominent Radical politicians. She was a leading campaigner for abortion, euthanasia, drug legalization, and more secular causes. Although she was not a medical professional, Bonino, according to her own testimony, performed over 10,000 illegal abortions. She is one of the most sinister figures in the history of Italy. Bonino nevertheless praised Francis, who maintained a warm personal relationship with her and personally visited her in 2024, bringing her flowers and chocolates.
The priest behind the infamous “Eucharist at sea” has been appointed head of University Pastoral Ministry for the Archdiocese of Milan for the next five years. In July 2022, Don Mattia Bernasconi celebrated a Novus Ordo Mass waist-deep in the sea off Crotone, using an inflatable mattress as an “altar.” Since September 1, he has overseen the Archdiocese’s pastoral work with university students, while continuing as chaplain at Humanitas University, a position he has held since 2023.
Il prete della Messa sul materassino “promosso”: don Mattia Bernasconi nuovo responsabile della Pastorale Universitaria
Czy ten włoski ksiądz Mattia Bernasconi który odprawiał Najświętszą Ofiarę na materacu unoszących się na falach morza ma świadomość, że czyni profanację z przyczyny własnej głupoty i braku wyobraźni? Co na to biskup lokalny? Kolejny duchowny pajac któremu się zachciało "unowocześniać" Kościół Święty.
Ett historiskt före detta kloster i Tyskland håller på att omvandlas till hyreslägenheter. Stiftet i Osnabrück har sålt Kommende Lage i Rieste, Niedersachsen, eftersom man inte längre hade råd med de renoveringar som krävdes för den flera hundra år gamla byggnaden. Kommende Lage är en före detta klosteranläggning som går tillbaka till 1200-talet. Köparen, som driver en plantskola i närliggande Bersenbrück, tar över ägandet den 15 januari och planerar att renovera anläggningen för bostadsändamål. Köpesumman har inte offentliggjorts. Platsens nästan 800 år gamla katolska pilgrimstradition kommer att fortsätta: pilgrimskyrkan och prästgården har inte sålts, och en präst kommer att stanna kvar för att sköta pilgrimsverksamheten.
Die Kommende Lage im niedersächsischen Rieste ist verkauft worden. Das Bistum Osnabrück gab den Verkauf am 10. September 2026 bekannt. Der neue Eigentümer will das historische Klostergebäude sanieren und darin Mietwohnungen einrichten.
Samme dag som Fulton Sheen skal saliggjøres i St. Louis, den 24. september, vil et trosoverskridende arrangement kalt «Women of Faith» samle foredragsholdere fra hinduismen, ahmadiyya-islam og bahá’í-religionen. Erkebispedømmet i St. Louis er oppført som en «profesjonell støttespiller» for organisasjonen. Arrangementet, som avholdes i et hinduistisk tempel, har som mål å fremme forståelse for andre religioners «tro, verdier og skikker». Det vil også bli servert en lett vegetarisk middag.
Am Tag der Seligsprechung von Erzbischof Fulton Sheen findet eine Bahá'í-muslimische Veranstaltung mit Unterstützung der Erzdiözese St. Louis statt.
Msgr. Roger Landry, 55, a prominent conservative U.S. priest, has been restricted from public ministry following non-sexual misconduct allegations by “multiple individuals.” The Diocese of Fall River said on September 11 that the allegations involve adults and possible violations of priestly codes of conduct in both Fall River and the Archdiocese of New York. After an initial investigation in New York, the diocese said there was “sufficient evidence” to impose restrictions while the case continues. Landry, who has also celebrated the traditional Roman Rite, denies wrongdoing. He says the accusations essentially concern alleged boundary violations between spiritual direction and friendship.
The Diocese of Fall River, Mass., announced Friday that Msgr. Roger Landry has been restricted from public ministry after allegations of misconduct were made against the priest by 'multiple individuals.'
The secret of “70 times 7”… Liturgy for September 13th – 24th Sunday in Ordinary Time Dear brothers and sisters, Jesus’s invitation to always forgive one another—just as His Father forgives—can help us understand how precious we are in the eyes of that Father who loved the world so much that He sent His only begotten Son to save us from eternal damnation and grant us eternal life. Jesus knows that the evil, frailties, and miseries of this life contribute to creating a sort of “invisible prison” around us—one that isolates us and prevents us from communicating with God, living in friendship with others, caring for creation, and knowing our true identity. In this wretched state, having fallen prey to despair, it seems to us that there is no way out. Nevertheless, Jesus knows that if, through the purity of His Love, He succeeds in overcoming the hardness of our pride and penetrate the prison of our hearts, then the desires for life, love, and happiness that God has hidden in the depths of …Meira
Bishop Schneider: Document Against Co-Redemptrix Will One Day Be Cancelled Synodality is a “very cunning code word to undermine Catholic doctrine”, Bishop Athanasius Schneider told AdVaticanum on September 10. He believes the vagueness of the word is deliberate, a means of gradually adapting Catholic doctrine, morality and ecclesial structures to Protestantism and contemporary attitudes toward sexuality. Monsignor Schneider calls synodality the height of the modernist movement, leading toward relativism. He adds that this openness has one notable exception: the traditional Latin Mass. “This document will be cancelled” Responding to the document Mater Populi Fidelis against the Marian titles Co-Redemptrix and Mediatrix of All Graces, Bishop Schneider argues that the Church cannot cancel language found in missals and used by popes, saints and Doctors of the Church. He believes the document, not the titles, will eventually disappear: “I think, in the future, this document will be cancelled.” …Meira
He's one of our very good and faithful shepherds! "Peter do you love me?" Pray for him especially now when he's making it clear new church is not Christ's Church.
Schneider isn't a heretic to you people, is he?! All the bishops are heretics except for Schneider, Strickland, Mutsaerts, and Viganò! You have no shame! Schneider is just another heretic; everyone is a heretic except for you lot at Gloria.tv, handing out Catholic credentials.
