María Montserrat Alvarado's appointment to lead the Vatican's Dicastery for Communication raises questions about the relationship between ecclesiastical governance and Holy Orders. Writing on X.com on June 2, Spanish diocesan priest and theology professor Jaime Mercant Simó argued that, at a theological level, it is not appropriate for even a theologically less importat dicastery, such as the Dicastery for Communication, to be headed by a layperson. Rev. Mercant noted that the Roman Curia is not merely an administrative structure. Every prefect of a dicastery acts with “vicarious power” in the name of the pope. “Mrs. Alvarado will exercise effective administrative jurisdiction and will have, albeit in an internal manner, real power over the bishops, priests, and religious who work in that dicastery,” he wrote. He argued that the appointment represents a separation between the power of governance and Holy Orders, from which the Church's munus regendi (“office of governance”), …مزید
A woman head of Communications, I could care less. It's a secular office, and Jurisdiction* is not necessary. Being the prefect of Institutes of Religious Life is another matter. On the other hand, she doesn't have to be much to be better than Braz de Aviz,. who was a disaster. * I don't like the word Governance because it ignores ( or eliminates) the link between Holy Orders and Jurisdiciton.
“Francis Made Moral Questions Accessible to Young People”: Leo XIV's new Prefect of the Dicastery for Communication, Montse Alvarado, praised Francis' controversial legacy talking to CTSA in June 2025. At Francis' funeral, she reported about young people who told her: "I'm not Catholic, but Pope Francis was my shepherd," and, "I left the faith a long time ago, but I'm here for him." According to Alvarado, they saw Francis as a guide on "the big, difficult questions," including moral questions, and as someone who "espouses church teaching in an accessible way."
Francis made moral teachings understandable and accessible to young people. This is how Montse Alvarado, the new prefect of the Dicastery for Communication, spoke of Francis' legacy following his death.

Montse Alvarado: Francis Beautifully Stuffed Vatican with Laypeople: During an interview for EWTN in January 2024, the next Prefect of the Vatican Dicastery for Communication, Montse Alvarado, called it a “beautiful story” that Pope Francis “has really started to bring laypeople in”: “He has appointed laypeople to different dicasteries to really give us a sense of what the Church on the ground feels like.”
It is beautiful that Pope Franics stuffed the Vatican Curia with laypeople - said Montse Alvarado, the new prefect of the Dicastery for Communication, in EWTN News in January 2024.
लगातार दूसरी बार, वेटिकन ने पूर्ववर्ती वर्ष के दौरान आये आगंतुकों की संख्या का खुलासा करने से इनकार कर दिया। इससे पहले यह दिसंबर में यह घोषणा किया करता था। पोप फ्रांसिस के चुनाव के बाद से इस संख्या में निरंतर गिरावट आ रही है। 2 जनवरी को मैथ्यू शमित्ज़ ट्विटर पर लिखते हैं कि फ्रांसिस के स्पिन डॉक्टर हमें बताते हैं कि "फ्रांसिस" कितने लोकप्रिय हैं और "फ्रांसिस का प्रभाव" कैसे लोगों को चर्च में वापस ला रहा है। लेकिन यह स्पष्ट है कि इसके विपरीत हो रहा है। रविवार के एपिफेनी मास के दौरान सेंट पीटर की बेसिलिका कहीं से भी नहीं भरी थी। #newsSsrmasteeq
Bill C-9 has passed Canada's Senate and could soon become law. This legislation would remove key protections for religious speech and could criminalize Bible-based teachings such as the evilness of homosexuality. However, a separate amendment that would have criminalised the denial of propaganda concerning residential schools was ultimately rejected by the Senate.
There was an amendment before Canada's Senate to make residential school denialism a crime. The legislation is Bill C-9, An Act to amend the Criminal Code (hate propaganda, hate crime and access to religious or cultural places). One of our readers said the change is "childish. This is his message to Canada's senators: Bill C-9 reminds me of the mean games and petulant accusations that children in school yard playgrounds use to manipulate each other: "I'm changing the rules!" "You can't say that! You hate me!" Bill C-9 seems to want to regulate people's thoughts, their speech, and their emotions, not their physical actions. But who will determine what constitutes "detestation" or "vilification"? A person who doesn't like what you or I believe or say? Who will determine how to interpret words that are subjective and sometimes self-serving? With this in mind, I urge you to defeat Bill C-9 when voting time comes in the Senate. God bless. The senators must have listened. The good news is …
Today, Bishop Athanasius Schneider published a statement on dianemontagna.substack.com about the SSPX. His text. The questions and problems relating to the Priestly Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) have been the subject of a largely fruitless debate for over fifty years and have now culminated in the announced episcopal consecrations, which have not yet been approved by the Holy See. The discussion has been fueled by emotion—often quite literally cum ira et studio—and is frequently conducted by individuals who lack direct familiarity with the relevant documents or personal experience of the SSPX. In many cases, their knowledge is superficial and shaped by preconceived judgments. As a result, the debate often resembles a dialogue of the deaf, in which the same arguments are endlessly repeated without any meaningful progress. Moreover, the debate largely bypasses the central issue raised by the SSPX. This failure stems from a fundamental methodological error and a lack of fact-based …مزید

Has anybody EVER seen a more strange/deranged/disconnected look than the one of PPP (Pseudo Pope Prevost)? "He" (or better: it) seems like an artificial, demon animated ALIEN.
On 3 June, Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re (92), Dean of the College of Cardinals, sent a lengthy preparatory letter to all cardinals ahead of the consistory convened by Leo XIV from 26 to 29 June. The letter was published by TribuneChretienne.com. Notably absent from the agenda is the Church’s core business: the liturgy. Leo XIV makes the Vatican all about politics Leo XIV organised the consistory around four main themes, focusing on reconciliation in a world characterised by armed conflict, cultural divisions, and power politics. The first session focuses on the international situation. Cardinals are invited to reflect on the suffering and tensions experienced by peoples and ecclesial communities. The second and third sessions focus on 'Magnifica Humanitas', Leo XIV’s first encyclical. One passage is particularly noteworthy. Participants are invited to consider how the Church can reaffirm the idea of overcoming the theory of the just war today. The third session will address the reception …مزید

04.05.2026 MARIA MONTSE ALVARADO IS IRRATIONAL AND NON TRADITIONAL ON THE CREEDS, COUNCILS AND CATECHISMS LIKE MICHARL WARSAW AT EWTN. . The issue is that Pope Leo, the cardinals and the bishop conferences, do not affirm:- 1. The Nicene Creed with Lumen Gentium 16 being invisible.i.e invisible cases of non Catholics saved in invincible ignorance outside the Church in for example 2026. 2. They do not affirm the Athanasius Creed with LG 16 invisible. 3. They do not affirm an ecumenism of return to the Catholic Church of the Syllabus of Pius IX, with no known exceptions in the present times.LG 16 is invisible. 4. They do not affirm a Vatican Council II with LG 8, 14, 16, UR 3, NA2 ,Gs 22 etc being implicit and not explicit cases. They are hypothetical and invisible. 5. They do not affirm the Catechism of the Catholic Church with CCC 847-848 not being an explicit exception for CCC 845-846. Instead they wrongly project the following:- 1. Invisible cases of LG 8, 14, 16 etc are seen as …مزید
