Bishop Olson Threatens SSPX Supporters with Excommunication: On August 14, Bishop Michael F. Olson of Fort Worth, Texas, issued a “pastoral” letter concerning the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) — using sharp and decidedly unsynodal language. He warns that knowingly providing public, organizational, material, or financial support to FSSPX communities is "objectively sinful" and "can result in excommunication." Bishop Olson even described the FSSPX as a “self-formed and schismatic sect.” He specifically mentioned two FSSPX churches within his diocese — Our Lady of Mount Carmel in North Richland Hills and Our Lady of Fatima in Sanger — as well as the former Carmelite Monastery of the Most Holy Trinity in Arlington, whose nuns have been in open conflict with Bishop Olson for years.

Bishop Olson Threatens SSPX Supporters With Excommunication

PASTORAL LETTER OF BISHOP MICHAEL F. OLSON TO THE FAITHFUL OF THE DIOCESE OF FORT WORTH CONCERNING THE HOLY SEE’S DECLARATIONS ON THE SOCIETY OF SAINT PIUS X (SSPX), THE SCHISMATIC STATUS AND EXCOMMUNICATION OF SSPX SACRED MINISTERS, AND THE CANONICAL AND SPIRITUAL RISKS OF ALL FAITHFUL PARTICIPATING IN SSPX CELEBRATIONS AND ACTIVITIES August 14, 2026 Dear Friends in Christ, As many of you are aware, the leadership of the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) illicitly consecrated four new bishops on July 1, 2026, in a liturgical ceremony in Écȏne, Switzerland. They did so in open defiance of the pastoral authority and pleas of Pope Leo XIV and in violation of communion with the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. Because of these actions of the SSPX, the Dicastery of the Doctrine for the Faith (DDF) clarified that the sacred ministers of the SSPX “are in schism and must therefore be considered schismatics” and are subject to the penalty of excommunication established by the Church’s Code …

We all know young people who are very mature and old people who are immature hippies. True maturity comes from the contemplation of God, sin and its effects, the passion of Our Lord and the three last things.

Leo XIV’s Appointee Honored as “Masonic Brother” in 2022: On August 13, Leo XIV appointed Rome Professor Umberto Longo to the Vatican’s Pontifical Committee for Historical Sciences. In December 2022, Longo gave a lecture in Venice on the Italian Freemason and comic artist Hugo Pratt (1927–1995). At the end, Gian-Paolo Barbi, Sovereign Grand Commander of the masonic lodge 'Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite', took the floor. He tapped Longo on the shoulder and addressed him as 'il fratello professor Longo' - 'Brother Professor Longo'. The phrase is noteworthy because older Masonic publications from 2013 and 2014 also identify an “Umberto Longo” as a Masonic “Brother” and Scottish Rite officer.

«il fratello professor Longo»: Questa settimana Leone XIV ha nominato il professor Umberto Longo membro del Pontificio Comitato di Scienze Storiche. Nel dicembre 2022, Longo tenne a Venezia una conferenza su Hugo Pratt. Al termine della relazione, Gian-Paolo Barbi, presentatosi come Sovrano Gran Commendatore del Rito Scozzese Antico ed Accettato, ringraziò il relatore con queste parole: «questa intensa emozione che il fratello professor Longo ci ha voluto donare con questa bellissima disquisizione». L’espressione «il fratello professor Longo», pronunciata dal vertice del Rito Scozzese, è significativa.

Dominican Sister Throws First Pitch at White Sox Pope Night | Shalom World News
Dominican Sister Mary Jo Sobieck threw the ceremonial first pitch Tuesday at the Chicago White Sox’s “Pope Hat” night honoring Pope Leo. Sister Mary Jo became a viral sensation in 2018 when she bounced the ball off her arm before throwing a strike at a White Sox game. She returned to the mound seven years later as the team celebrated its Chicago-born fan who became pope. The pregame ceremony also included a $14,000 donation from White Sox Charities to the Midwest Province of the Order of St. Augustine, the religious order Pope Leo once led.

Poland Unveils Europe’s Tallest Statue of Our Lady:
On today’s feast of the Assumption, Bishop Krzysztof Wętkowski of Włocławek consecrated Europe’s tallest statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the small Polish village of Konotopie. Standing 55.6 metres high, the monument was blessed during a solemn Mass attended by hundreds, with former Polish president Lech Wałęsa among the guests. Bishop Emeritus Wiesław Mering, who attended the ceremony, told AP: “The history of Christianity has ups and downs but this place is a reminder that Mary won’t give up on Poland.”

Arte Cristiana - La statua della Madre di Dio a Konotopie (Polonia)

La statua della Madre di Dio a Konotopie (Polonia) inaugurazione il 15 agosto 2026 La statua della Madonna a Konotopie (Polonia) La statua della Madre di Dio a Konotopie (Polonia) Fino a poco tempo fa, poche persone al di fuori della regione conoscevano Konotopie pod Kikołem. Oggi, la gente viene in questa piccola città per ammirare di persona l'enorme statua della Vergine Maria che domina la zona. La statua è alta 55,6 metri e la sua consacrazione ufficiale non avrà luogo prima del 15 agosto 2026. L'interesse è quindi alle stelle ancor prima della cerimonia più importante. E questo interesse non si limita al santuario: anche il turismo locale sta iniziando a sfruttare la presenza del monumento. A Konotopie, vicino a Kikół, non si vedono più i cantieri e la struttura che cresce di settimana in settimana. L'enorme Madonna Addolorata è già in piedi. Domenica mancheranno solo cinque giorni alla sua consacrazione. Il monumento attira l'attenzione non solo dei pellegrini: le sue dimensioni …

Original Sin, Man’s Greatest Vulnerability, and Divine Order
The Fall of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden reveals enduring truths about human nature, divine order, and spiritual vulnerability. Man’s greatest moral weakness is the voice of women, a vulnerability Satan immediately recognized and exploited. Scripture and the Church Fathers also teach that God established a natural order: men are to lead, and women are to submit and follow. When this order is inverted, sin, disorder, and suffering follow—a principle visible from Eden to biblical history and the New Testament.

@Jeffrey Ade Why is Russia our enemy? They are on the other side of the planet, they have never attacked the United States, they were our ally during WWII. Have they done anything that we have not done in the past? It is true that Russia has spread its errors throughout the world but so have we. We have exported abortion and contraception throughout the world, we have exported our "woke" ideology around the world, we pushed our COVID vaccine on the rest of the world ect. I have never understood why we have been told they are our enemy other then we were competing with them during the cold war to be the worlds superpower.

Celebrating Our Lady of Glory on the Assumption

Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira
An informal lecture gave on August 13, 1965 (*)
The Assumption (Taddeo di Bartolo)
In ancient times, people referred to the feast of the Assumption of Our Lady as the feast of Our Lady of Glory. They understood that the Assumption of Our Lady was not merely the physical event of her leaving this earth after resurrecting by virtue of her Divine Son and being taken to Heaven: it was also her glorification.
After her humble and unknown life on this earth, Our Lady had a greater role after the death of Our Lord as Queen and Mother of the Catholic Church. Our Lady went through all kinds of suffering, anguish and humiliations on earth. It is fitting that Our Lord glorified her in the eyes of men through her assumption.
She was glorified with this unique privilege whereby a merely human creature is taken to material heaven by the angels. From there, she certainly was taken in a mysterious way to the physical and immaterial heights of the heavenly Paradise, where she …More
