Benedict XVI's Secretary Abp. Georg Gänswein: "The hardliners prevailed in the SSPX. But Rome should display flexibility on the Latin Mass: Francis made a mistake on Traditionis Custodes, a wrong decision that must be corrected"
On 2 July, Archbishop Georg Gänswein, the Nuncio to the Baltic States, spoke to Corriere.it about the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X and the Mass in the Roman rite. Key quotes, slightly shortened - The FSSPX has become even more hardline. It's unbelievable - truly sad. - Their understanding of tradition is not tradition. They freeze Catholic tradition at Pius XII. After that, they see nothing but errors. - Benedict XVI lifted the excommunications of the four bishops as a father seeking peace. It was an outstretched hand they refused. The radical faction prevailed—they rejected reconciliation then and still do. - They are like the Protestants of five centuries ago. Cardinal Müller is right. - I am very disappointed. Grace can do anything over time, but for now I see even greater distance and deeper hardening than before. "Leo XIV Should Allow the Traditional Roman Mass" - There are faithful who celebrate the Latin rite—for example, the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter—and they do …More

Protocol numbers are how Vatican departments organize their filing; a letter or submission is assigned a protocol number so that all the relevant documents are kept together in the right file. “Prot. No. 99/2009” is not a new file from 2026, but a file from 2009, specifically from Pope Benedict XVI’s lifting of the excommunications incurred in 1988.
Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes The Rio Grande River in Arizona is completely dry in many locations They don’t want you to know, the majority of this water has been sold off over the past 5 years - A huge amount goes to agriculture, about 87% - Mexico gets an enormous amount of the water because of the US-Mexico Water Treaty Mexico is supposed to send about 1/3 of the water from certain rivers that flow into the Rio Grande to the US, mainly for Texas farmers - Minimum: Average of 350,000 acre-feet per year or 1.75 million over 5 years. - Mexico keeps the other 2/3 of that water for its own farms and cities - The US sends Mexico a lot of water from the Colorado River about 1.5 million acre feet per year During 2020-2025 Mexico only delivered about 50% of the water it owed to the United States at the end of the 5 year period Mexico continues to keep way more than their agreed share
[EN/DE] | "There are moments in history that cannot be measured by numbers alone. Cameras capture the crowds, broadcasters show endless streams of mourners, and social media fills with images from every angle, yet none of them can truly convey what is taking place within the hearts of the people. Millions may gather, but every tear carries its own story. People travel from different cities and countries, crossing borders and leaving behind comfort simply to offer a final farewell. They do not come because they are compelled. They come because they believe that some lives leave a mark too profound to let pass in silence. What makes a man unite millions is not power alone. Power can command obedience, but it cannot command love. Fear can fill a square for a day, but it cannot fill hearts for decades. Wealth can buy influence, but it cannot purchase loyalty that survives death. For millions, Sayyid Ali Khamenei represented something greater than political authority. He embodied the union …More
FYI: I found this on a search of her website: Watch and spread aggressively. Abortion and transvestite mutilation, the satanic sacraments, both use the exact words of Our Lord: This is M(m)y body. It’s no coincidence.
Rita of Cascia, was an Italian Catholic widow and Augustinian nun. After Rita's husband died, she joined a small community of nuns who later became Augustinians. Therein, she was known both for practicing mortification of the flesh and for the efficacy of her prayers. So two Augustinians-- Prevost and St Rita. Who is the real Augustinian?

Shadow of Ezra @ShadowofEzra An Israeli flag was raised and elevated to the same level as the American flag at the Great American Fair for the 250th anniversary of America’s independence. Israel has nothing to do with the founding of America.
