Having accepted in 2025 bishops appointed unilaterally by China, Leo XIV should not threaten the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) with excommunication for similar actions, writes Rev Matthew Dimock, a diocesan priest of the Diocese of Charlotte on OnePeterFive.com on June 25. Rev. Dimock is NOT a defender of the FSSPX. His argument is that justice requires the Church to enforce its laws consistently, rather than making exceptions based on diplomatic or political considerations. In late April 2025, during the period between the death of Francis and the election of a new pope, the Chinese Communist Party announced the election of two bishops, an Auxiliary Bishop of Shanghai and the Bishop of Xinxiang. Shanghai already had two bishops and one auxiliary bishop. Xinxiang already had a bishop. Normally, the Vatican publicly announces bishops before their episcopal consecrations, but in these cases the announcements came only on the day of the consecration. Rev. Dimock argues that …තව
Rev Dimock, do you actually believe Bobby Prevost reads your missives? He is right now almost as worthless as colon compromised Bergoglio was. He will soon be worse if the Deity allows him years of abuse against the faithful the same sort of abuse Bergoglio heaped upon the people of Christ...
– Folha de S. Paulo, January 29, 1969 – by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira I cannot simply continue with my previous explanation to satisfy the public’s interest or desire for information on the TFP. I would be forced to discuss facts the average reader is unfamiliar with. Therefore, I must start by outlining the scope of the topics and events I will address. To do this, it is best to demonstrate that these topics and events are central to the major issues facing Brazilians who genuinely love their country. ________________ * * * ________________ It’s common to say that a country’s main institutions are its driving forces. Brazil’s key forces include the Church, the Armed Forces, professional associations, and universities. With some goodwill, we might also add political parties. The press often covers these institutions, but it does not always give them the prominence they deserve. Main news usually focuses on politics — the conflicts between parties and the actions of official bodies …තව

On June 25, Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller commented on the Vatican's rejection of the German bishops' proposal to allow lay preaching during the Eucharist. Key excerpts: - "One must not separate the Liturgy of the Word from the Eucharistic liturgy by having a layperson preach the first part and an ordained priest celebrate the second." - "Luther already condemned this as an abuse, accusing priests and bishops of no longer being servants of the Word but mere ritualists." - "The Council of Trent taught that sacramentally ordained priests were instituted by Christ as ministers of both the Word and the Sacraments." - "One cannot arbitrarily divide priestly ministry and outsource parts of it without effectively denying the sacramental priesthood in a Protestant sense." - "Ironically, those who most eagerly invoke Vatican II contradict it on the question of lay preaching during Mass." - "Germany's perpetual protesters should study the foundations of Catholic theology instead of driving the …තව

The consistory that began today "feels like it was organized by a Human Resources department," one curial cardinal told the Substack.com-Account 'The Pillar' on June 26. The report relies entirely on anonymous sources. "It's all too tightly controlled. It doesn't feel like there's freedom to discuss the issues we need to discuss. Instead, we're being led by very specific questions on very specific issues in very small groups, without space for open discussion," the cardinal said. A second cardinal expressed uncertainty about the consistory's agenda: "These are surely very important societal issues and challenges, but I am not sure what we are supposed to add to the discussion beyond talking about personal experiences." He added: "I don't know what the Holy Father expects of this consistory, if I'm being honest." "There's too much control over the topics, and too much dispersion. Consistories usually focused on a single topic. How are you supposed to have a substantive discussion in a …තව

Ex-U.S. attorney on report WH admin ended DOJ probe into fraudster's clemency David Gentile, a private equity executive convicted of a massive scheme to defraud thousands of people, had his sentence wiped out. Now, The New York Times reports DOJ prosecutors had opened an investigation into how Gentile got the clemency deal but were told to abandon it. Reporter for The New York Times Ken Vogel and former U.S. attorney Joyce Vance join Katy Tur to discuss the details of the case. MS NOW: My Source for News, Opinion, and the World.
“Our prosecutors always work within the bounds of our enforcement priorities to hold bad actors accountable and ensure the efficient use of taxpayer resources,” she said in a statement. It is not clear how far along the investigation was, or who was being targeted. While prosecutors had explored potential crimes like wire fraud, according to four people with knowledge of the situation, it is also not clear whether the investigation would have resulted in charges had it been allowed to continue, or if a crime was committed at all. There is no indication that Mr. Trump himself was a target of the investigation. Nonetheless, it had the potential to embarrass the president by highlighting how his pardons and commutations have often benefited wealthy or well-connected people, or his supporters. Mr. Trump’s unorthodox approach to clemency has spawned a seamy cottage industry in which lawyers, lobbyists and others with ties to the president have collected millions of dollars from pardon …තව

Worse than Germany: On June 24, the Spanish Bishops' Conference appointed economist Luis Ayala Cañón as the new president of Caritas Spain, the Church's largest charitable organization. He previously served on the Spanish Government's Advisory Council for Health and Social Services, reports InfoVaticana.com. He was appointed by Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's administration in 2019. Ayala has also collaborated with left-leaning organizations, including Fundación Alternativas, a think tank widely associated with the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE). Spain's Socialist government under Sánchez enacted anti-Catholic policies, including legalizing euthanasia, expanding abortion, and advancing gender and homosex legislation. In its announcement, the Spanish Bishops' Conference made no reference to Ayala's previous government role or political collaborations, highlighting only his academic credentials and expertise in economics and social policy.

In December 1585, during the Eighty Years’ War, nearly 4,000 elite Spanish soldiers of the legendary Tercios found themselves in a desperate situation near Empel in the Netherlands. While digging defensive trenches, a soldier unearthed a beautifully preserved wooden panel depicting the Virgin Mary of the Immaculate Conception. The troops saw it as a heavenly sign. They carried the image in solemn procession, raised it high with their battle flags, and prayed fervently. That very night — December 7 to 8, the eve and feast of the Immaculate Conception — an extraordinary event occurred. A sudden, intense frost froze the floodwaters solid. The watery trap became a bridge of thick ice. At dawn on December 8, the Tercios marched across the frozen river in perfect formation. They launched a surprise attack on the Dutch fleet, setting ships ablaze and capturing others. The Dutch were caught completely off guard, with many vessels trapped in the ice. The Spanish achieved a total and stunning …තව

After the election of Leo XIV, Aldo Maria Valli wanted to believe in the new pope and in the possibility of a change of direction, he admitted on his blog on June 25. Valli was the longtime Vatican correspondent for Italy’s public broadcaster, RAI. But: “The cold shower (or rather, a whole series of cold showers) quickly woke me from that dream in the form of statements fully in line with the Bergoglian disaster and a succession of ‘peace & love’ initiatives, marked by a shallow humanitarianism completely devoid of references to transcendence, sin, conversion, and the salvation of the soul.” On the consistory on Friday and Saturday, he writes: “Under Leo XIV, the Church is not merely avoiding any reversal of course; it is enthusiastically reaffirming the synodal model, transforming it into a permanent method of ecclesial governance.” Valli points to the names of the cardinals (Ryś, Fernández, Brislin, and Grech) chosen to lead the principal sessions. It is, he says, a gathering of …තව
And the poisonous menu Prevost serves up in his rebellion against God—the worship of false gods and the paganism that violates the First Commandment, as well as disobedience and defiance of God’s NATURAL law and the rejection of the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit through the profanation of the body—by means of sodomy, adultery, and every kind of immorality and sexual perversion.

Leo XIV: "War Never Blessed By God": At today's extraordinary consistory, Leo XIV once again rejected the just war theory, declaring: "War is never worthy of man, and is never blessed by God."

Furthermore, Leo XIV described his exercise of the papal office as that of one who 'asks' rather than commands.
Federal Judge Bars ICE From Making Arrests in Immigration Courts The ruling in a class-action lawsuit filed in California applies to immigration courts nationwide.

The decision halts what had been one of the most aggressive aspects of President Trump’s mass deportation campaign. Judge P. Casey Pitts of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California said in his decision that federal officials had violated a key statute governing administrative procedures when they changed previous guidelines that restricted civil arrests inside immigration courthouses. The judge called officials’ decision-making processes “arbitrary and capricious,” saying they had failed to consider alternative options and had …තව
The proximity of the consistory (Friday and Saturday) to the FSSPX consecrations (Wednesday) has allegedly prompted Leo XIV to remove the liturgy from the consistory's agenda. This information was published by Nico Spuntoni on IlGiornale.it, who cited an anonymous cardinal as his source. Although "synodality" was already discussed in January, it has returned to the agenda. Spuntoni adds three more pieces of information. - Notable absences at the consistory due to ill health include conservative Cardinals Joseph Zen (Hong Kong), Péter Erdő (Budapest), and Willem Eijk (Utrecht). - There is unease among the professed members and religious sisters of the Priestly Fraternity of St Pius X, who do not wish to risk incurring a possible excommunication. - The consistory's agenda has not generally generated enthusiasm among cardinals. Some also dislike the Synod Secretariat's method of working in small groups. #newsSdvnwboncj
