Does a Vatican Dicastery doubts that FSSPX Marriage faculties have been revoked? The Vatican’s Dicastery for Legislative Texts issued a clarification on August 7, concerning marriages within the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X (FSSPX), according to Guy Lapierre writing on RenaissanceCatholique.fr on October 15. Lapierre writes about a response from the Dicastery for Legislative Texts without naming the addressee or context. The texts states: “The Explanatory Note published on July 2, 2026, by the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith states that marriages witnessed by sacred ministers of the Priestly Society of St. Pius X are invalid. However, it does not appear from the published text that such a declaration was approved by the Roman Pontiff with the intention of revoking or derogating from the provisions contained in the Letter of the Pontifical Commission Ecclesia Dei of March 27, 2017.” The mentioned letter of 2017 refers to Franics’ permissions for marriages celebrated by FSSPX …მეტი
Rubio on West Bank settler violence: 'Not a good look' Secretary of State Marco Rubio has addressed the attack on an American photojournalist in the West Bank, calling the images disturbing while defending the administration's earlier decision to lift sanctions on Israeli settlers. "There was video of that. The whole thing was just disturbing. Not a good look." Earlier, the US has refused to demand an investigation into the deaths of 9 of its own citizens, and it lifted the very sanctions that were meant to restrain the groups involved. geopolitics_prime

Gänswein avoids answering question about the traditional Latin Mass. During an October 17 interview on Twitch.tv, Archbishop Georg Gänswein was asked whether the more liberal German Church could learn from growing interest in Catholicism among young people in France and the US. The interviewer specifically mentioned the “Mass according to old rites” as a possible reason for success there. Gänswein did not directly address the old Mass. Instead, he said young people are “searching for answers” and finding “nourishment” in the Gospel and the Church’s message. He stressed that faith is not merely “something I have intellectually in my head.” What matters, he said, is a relationship with “the person who is essential to Christianity, namely Jesus Christ.”
Frage an Gänswein: Bewegt die jüngere Generation so etwas wie die Messe in alten Riten? Wäre das – nach dem Vorbild von Frankreich und den USA – ein Erfolgsmodell für Deutschland?
We have a prime minister here in the CZ named Babiś who never ever answered any question, but always considered a question just a occasion to say something he wants to say.
Seat of Wisdom has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts; And Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord, 47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, 48 for he has looked on the humble estate of his servant. For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed; 49 for he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name. 50 And his mercy is for those who fear him from generation to generation. 51 He has shown strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts; 52 he has brought down the mighty from their thrones and exalted those of humble estate; 53 he has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty. 54 He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy, 55 as he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his offspring forever.”
US Bishop bans St. Michael prayer after Mass. Bishop Mark Beckman of Knoxville, Tennessee, has directed priests to discontinue the communal recitation of the Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel immediately before or after Mass. In his October 16 article, he claims that in order to celebrate the liturgy “in accordance with the mind of the Church” priests need to “catechize the people of God as we move away from additional prayers recited together immediately before, during, and immediately after Mass.” Additional prayers - including those to St. Michael, St. Francis, and the Holy Spirit - should not become regular additions to the celebration of Mass. He cited the Second Vatican Council's call for a liturgy marked by “noble simplicity.” #newsIisjgbwbuz
But at that time shall Michael rise up, the great prince, who standeth for the children of thy people: and a time shall come such as never was from the time that nations began even until that time. And at that time shall thy people be saved, every one that shall be found written in the book. 2And many of those that sleep in the dust of the earth, shall awake: some unto life everlasting, and others unto reproach, to see it always. 3But they that are learned shall shine as the brightness of the firmament: and they that instruct many to justice, as stars for all eternity. 4But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time appointed: many shall pass over, and knowledge shall be manifold.
Single women are often the ones who once loved the hardest. They gave everything they had—their time, tenderness, energy, emotions, and trust. Sometimes they gave all of that to someone who never truly appreciated it, someone who accepted everything they offered and eventually left them with an emptiness they had to learn how to fill on their own. Maybe that is why some of them choose to be single now. Not because they are incapable of love. Quite the opposite. They simply learned that love without respect can come at an incredibly high price. Difficult experiences gave them something they may not have had before: peace, stronger boundaries, a clearer sense of their own worth, and the courage to stop accepting relationships that require them to settle for less than they deserve. Now they can take a weekend trip to the coast, sit alone with coffee in a little café, go to a concert, see a movie, spend a day hiking, or enjoy a quiet evening at home without feeling that something is missing …მეტი
Dutch Cardinal Wim Eijk condemned the euthanasia of a severely disabled Dutch child, nearly two years old, as a violation of human dignity. “Is it merciful to violate the fundamental dignity of the human person by ending their life?” he asked. Speaking to CruxNow.com in an interview on September 25, Eijk warned that “merciful” is often used to justify “ethically questionable actions.” He said ending the body is a “fundamental violation” of a person’s inherent dignity.

"Bishops’ Consecration" at Papa Stronsay Fr Michael Mary of the Transalpine Redemptorist group at Papa Stronsay, Scotland, will receive an unauthorized “episcopal consecration” on July 25. The community announced this on June 18 on the monastery's blog. The candidate is the founder and superior of the group. He is rumoured to foster a personality cult around himself. In 2025, the group rejected the post-Vatican II hierarchy and adopted a sedevacantist delusion. The episcopal consecration is scheduled to be performed by Bishop Pierre Roy, a Canadian sedevacantist bishop. He will be assisted by Bishops Rodrigo Ribeiro da Silva of Brazil and Fernando Altamira of Argentina. All three "bishops" had previous ties to the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X (FSSPX). Two were ordained priests within the Fraternity, while the third was ordained by Bishop Williamson. Ordinations in the Thục Lineage Considered Null in Practice All three consecrating "bishops" derive their “episcopal orders” from the …მეტი

But Trump administration is picking up where they left off. Nothing has changed at all. New Year's Eve 2016, twenty days before the incoming Trump admin, Senators Kelly Ayotte (R-NH), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), John McCain and Lindsey Graham visited the Donbas civil war frontlines, pledging to #Ukraine president Poroshenko, "We have your back... your war is our war." This is called a Russian warning. No one was injured. Only Russia can be so precise. Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha: "Russia has struck two bridges in Kyiv six times. The world cannot just stand by and wait.” And the NY Times reported: "Russia's attack on the South Bridge in Kiev happened as a metro train was crossing over it. No one was injured..." US State Department stateman George Kennan, who was fluent in German and Russian, “who knew Russia best,” testified against Bill Clinton’s proposed NATO expansion into Eastern Europe, stating it would be “the most fateful error of U.S. foreign policy in the post-Cold War era.”

The surgeon who operated on Leo XIV, Prof. Stefano Margaritora, sees no medical reason to cancel the November trip to South America. He explained that the lung cancer was discovered “entirely by chance” during routine abdominal examinations. A small spot appeared at the base of the lung. Had it been slightly higher, he said, it would have gone unnoticed. The Pope had no symptoms. Margaritora also recounted finding Leo XIV rearranging chairs in the hospital chapel just two days after surgery. When staff offered to do it for him, the Pope reportedly replied: “It doesn't matter. I can do it, so I do it.” The surgeon expects a rapid recovery.
I see that he doesn't make the Sign of the Cross as a blessing, but just waves to everyone and now and then touches his breast. He acts as though he's just a public figure, a celebrity.

Yes, she murdered her children. It's the why she murdered them that has many women opening their hearts to her. I'm a mother of a large family. I am fiercely pro-life. And yes, I feel for her. By all accounts she was a good mother who loved her children very much. What makes such a mother kill her own? What makes such a mother attempt to kill herself? Something incredibly abnormal occurred. I remember during one of my pregnancies, I was absolutely convinced there were giant spiders crawling all over the ceiling. I saw them. And I was terrified. Thankfully I had a cousin staying with me who helped dispel my fears and calm me down. And I was not on any medication. I was simply delirious from morning sickness and dehydration. Can you imagine if the doctors had of put me on a cocktail of drugs at that point? Regardless of the outcome, Mrs. Clancy is going to be locked away for life. She is going to be punished for what she did. But, in union with many other women supporting her case, it …მეტი
