Theologian warns that the Vatican is rapidly following the German Synodal Path. German theologian Hubert Windisch, a priest of the Diocese of Regensburg who dresses in civilian clothes, argues in a September article that the Church’s dramatic loss of substance has been driven above all by the “Bergoglian magisterium.” He describes several decisions as prone to heresy and even apostasy—from Abu Dhabi and Pachamama to Amoris laetitia and Fiducia supplicans. In his view, doctrinal clarity has been replaced by endless “pastoral processes”. He sees the German Synodal Path as an attempt to institutionalize this relativistic contradiction and warns that Rome, rather than resisting the German experiment, is rushing to follow the same course at the level of the universal Church.
The USA’s Only Approved Marian Apparition: Fr. Tony Stephens on Adele Brice & Our Lady of Champion "You have received Holy Communion, and that is good, but you must do more." Father Tony Stephens, Rector of the National Shrine of Our Lady of Champion, joins CatholicTV to discuss the USA’s only approved Marian apparition. What did the Mother of God ask of an illiterate, blind-in-one-eye Belgian immigrant woman in the wilderness of 19th-century Wisconsin? Father Tony Stephens joins Bishop Robert Reed on This Is the Day to explore the urgent, prophetic message of Our Lady of Champion and celebrate the formal opening of the canonization cause for Servant of God Adele Brice. In October 1859, the Queen of Heaven appeared three times to young Adele Brice, giving her a vital mission: pray for the conversion of sinners, teach the children what they need to know for salvation, and rebuild the faith in a rugged frontier territory. Fr. Stephens breaks down why this simple Third Order Franciscan …Lahi ange
Confirmed: Pope Leo XIV has appointed Cardinal Mauro Gambetti, 60, as Metropolitan Archbishop of Chieti-Vasto. The move brings Gambetti’s tenure as Archpriest of St Peter’s Basilica, Vicar General for Vatican City and President of the Fabric of St Peter to an end. His successor at the Vatican has not yet been announced. Cardinal Gambetti's years in the Vatican were marked by repeated controversies, many of which were brought to public attention primarily by SilereNonPossum.com. The investigation was based on documents, photographs, videos and testimony. Among other issues, SilereNonPossum reported favouritism in personnel appointments - including the hiring of people personally connected to Gambetti. Other scandals included controversial expenditure, costly events and projects, and concerns over the maintenance and management of the Basilica. Cardinal Gambetti succeeds Archbishop Bruno Forte, whose resignation Pope Leo XIV has accepted. The transfer comes after months of rumours that …Lahi ange
Homily Sunday, October 4, 2026 Isaiah 5:1-7 He waited for judgment, but see, bloodshed! for justice, but hark, the outcry!” Let us share the peace of God that is in our hearts. Philippians 4:6-9 “The God of peace will be with you.” Thank you, Lord, for being with us. Matthew 21:33-43 “This is the heir. Come, let us kill him!” When one person, just one person, decides to exclude someone, it becomes impossible to stop the slander. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.

Monsignor Gilles Wach, founder and prior general of the traditionalist Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest (ICRSP), has been an honorary member of the Rotary Club Firenze Valdisieve for years. Medias-Presse.info highlights Rotary publications from both 2014 and 2024 describing Monsignor Wach as an honorary member, including on occasions when the club was received at the ICRSP seminary in Gricigliano. In 1950, the Holy Office issued a decision, approved by Pope Pius XII, forbidding Catholic clergy from joining Rotary Clubs or attending their meetings. Catholic authorities at the time cited concerns including religious indifferentism and Masonic or anticlerical influences. Medias-Presse.info asks: how does Monsignor Wach reconcile his Rotary affiliation with the tradition his Institute professes to uphold?
Annibale Bugnini A more serious age sang the Dies Irae at Requiem Masses. Apparently, Annibale Bugnini—I believe his first name is an Italian version of the ancient Punic (Carthaginian / Phoenician) name Hanniba'al, which means „Baal is Gracious” or „Favoured by Baal”— said he had eliminated the sequence from funerals and other Masses for the Dead, because it: “smacked of a negative spirituality inherited from the Middle Ages.” Dies irae - Wikipedia Annibale or Hannibal wich means: “Baal is gracious” or “Favoured by Baal” / “The grace of Baal” — is a theophoric name (a name that contains the name of a god), which was very common in the ancient Phoenician and Carthaginian world. The most „famous“ bearer of this name, I would say, untill Bugnini, was the great Carthaginian general Hannibal Barca (3rd century BC), who crossed the Alps with elephants to fight against Rome. According to the well-known (and controversial) Pecorelli list and related traditionalist sources, the alleged …Lahi ange
All Children of God, All Humanity, Come to the True Faith that is Founded by our Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God in the Holy Apostolic Roman Catholic Church.
The bishop of Raleigh, North Carolina participated over a shamanistic “smudging” ceremony to celebrate St. Catherine “Kateri” Tekakwitha, who rejected her native Mohawk religion. Pascua Taqui tribe member Richard Duran led the congregation of Holy Cross Catholic Church in Durham in a “smudging” ceremony in July. Smudging is a shamanic ritual that involves burning herbs and resins to “cleanse” a space of negative energy.

Bishops’ conferences may pursue “appropriate steps in different contexts” after the 'Amoris Laetitia' meeting. The Vatican today released details of Leo XIV’s meeting with 248 bishops marking ten years of 'Amoris Laetitia' (October 7–14). It will be conducted in a “synodal style.” Participants will work in 16 small groups before discussing their results in plenary. They will use the Synod on Synodality’s “Conversation in the Spirit”: three rounds consisting of sharing personal experience, “resonating” with what others have said, and jointly identifying what has emerged. Fr. Giacomo Costa SJ, responsible for the meeting’s methodology, described it as an “evaluation assembly.” Costa said a Church document “is not the end point” but must become part of the life of the Church and “allow itself to be tested by experience.” Local Churches are called to translate its orientations into different contexts, “experiment with paths,” and evaluate their fruits and difficulties. Costa also said the …Lahi ange
Asked whether Leo XIV might reverse Francis’ course, Schneider replied: “Humanly speaking, I don’t think so. But there is still God.”
Humanly speaking, Bishop Schneider doesn't see Leo XIV reversing Francis' course. The celebration of the Pontifical Mass at the end of October in the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore - instead of St. Peter’s Basilica - can be described as a “consolation prize,” Bishop Athanasius Schneider told Gloria.tv (video below). It is “sad,” he said, that these Catholics are not allowed to celebrate Mass in St. Peter’s. At the same time, Santa Maria Maggiore is the most important Marian church in Christendom. Both Pius V - who codified the traditional Mass for all time - and Francis - who restricted it - are buried there. Bishop Schneider intends to pray with the faithful for liturgical peace and for the traditional Mass to be celebrated again without restrictions. Asked whether Leo XIV might reverse Francis’ course, Schneider replied: “Humanly speaking, I don’t think so. But there is still God.” The pilgrimage will pray for Leo XIV, asking God to grant him many graces. Schneider calls the suppression …Lahi ange
