The episcopal consecrations by the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X in Écône on July 1 have revived an old question: how many Catholics are attached to the FSSPX? The answer is surprisingly elusive. Depending on the source, estimates range from around 100,000 to as many as 600,000 faithful worldwide. The FSSPX itself continues to publish the figure of 600,000 faithful. However, the number of 600,000 comes from a speech delivered in 2007 by Cardinal Darío Castrillón Hoyos, then President of the Pontifical Commission Ecclesia Dei. Speaking to the Latin American bishops at Aparecida, he stated that the "Lefebvrian group" consisted of four bishops, 500 priests and 600,000 faithful. The number is difficult to reconcile with the FSSPX’s infrastructure. The FSSPX has approximately 730 priests, about 180 priories and houses, and 750 chapels and Mass centres. Many of these chapels are small mission stations where Mass is celebrated only once or twice a month with few faithful. In 2019, Fr Pascal …Ossotina
Book of Hosea 8,4-7.11-13. Thus says the LORD: They made kings, but not by my authority; they established princes, but without my approval. With their silver and gold they made idols for themselves, to their own destruction. Cast away your calf, O Samaria! my wrath is kindled against them; How long will they be unable to attain innocence in Israel? The work of an artisan no god at all, Destined for the flames-- such is the calf of Samaria! When they sow the wind, they shall reap the whirlwind; The stalk of grain that forms no ear can yield no flour; Even if it could, strangers would swallow it. When Ephraim made many altars to expiate sin, his altars became occasions of sin. Though I write for him my many ordinances, they are considered as a stranger's. Though they offer sacrifice, immolate flesh and eat it, the LORD is not pleased with them. He shall still remember their guilt and punish their sins; they shall return to Egypt.
Buch Hosea 8,4-7.11-13. So spricht der Herr: Sie setzen in Israel Könige ein, aber gegen meinen Willen; sie wählen Regierende aus, doch ich erkenne sie nicht an. Sie machen sich Götzen aus ihrem Silber und Gold – damit es vernichtet wird. Samaria, dein Kalb ist verworfen. Mein Zorn ist entbrannt gegen sie; wie lange noch sind sie unfähig zur Reinheit? Denn von Israel kommt es: Ein Handwerker hat es gemacht – ein Gott ist es nicht. Ja, zu Splittern soll es werden, das Kalb von Samaria. Denn Wind säen sie und ernten Sturm. Ein Halm ohne Ähren bringt kein Mehl. Und wenn er es brächte – verschlingen würden es Fremde. Efraim hat viele Altäre gebaut, um zu sündigen, ja, Altäre zum Sündigen sind sie ihm geworden. Wieder und wieder schreibe ich meine Weisung auf für ihn – angesehen wird sie wie die eines Fremden. Schlachtopfer, die mir dargebracht werden sollen, schlachten sie und essen das Fleisch selbst. Der HERR hat kein Gefallen an ihnen. Jetzt wird er ihrer Schuld gedenken und sie heimsuchen …Ossotina
A Papal Handshake, a Cathedral Fire, and a Murder: On July 4 in Lampedusa, Leo XIV shook the hands of 20 illegal immigrants who had just arrived in Europe. He reminded everyone that all human life carries immeasurable worth. One of his predecessor’s handshakes later took on a dark meaning. In 2016, Pope Francis shook hands with Rwandan national Emmanuel Abayisenga. In 2020, Abayisenga set fire to the 15th-century Nantes cathedral in France. In 2021, he murdered the priest who had taken him in and sheltered him after the fire.
Papst Leo schüttelte bei seinem Besuch auf Lampedusa am 4. Juli jedem dieser 20 Migranten, die gerade in Europa angekommen waren, die Hand.

Seriously. Leo found time to meet with the Chinese Communists who picked their own bishops. He met with James Martin. He met with decorators for the apostolic palace. But couldn’t find time to meet with the SSPX. That is a fact JCS 77 (@musicthinker13) on X
Today, the General Secretariat of the Synod issued the preparatory framework for the October 7–14 meeting on the implementation of Amoris Laetitia between Pope Leo XIV and the presidents of the bishops' conferences. The gathering marks the tenth anniversary of Amoris Laetitia. The format is described as "synodal," involving a process of listening, prayer, and discernment. The aim is "to discern the direction in which the Holy Spirit is leading us today." The five discussion themes are: • Families today: reality, beauty and challenges • Young people and the discovery of the vocation to marriage (including cohabiting couples) • Married life: the first years of marriage—a decisive time • In the difficulties of life: accompanying and supporting • Christian families as subjects of the Church's mission The fourth theme speaks of “failure” and the “gap between the ideal and reality.” It says those who “have experienced separation and divorce” should feel listened to, involved, and co-responsible …Ossotina
Cardinal Timothy Radcliffe spoke to AdVaticanum.com on July 4 about his participation in a London Eucharist at Holy Apostles Church including a liturgical blessing for a homosexual couple. The interview is obvious gaslighting, not to say blatant lying, given that the livestream had been published on YouTube. The event was held on June 13 to mark the 50-year homosexual partnership of Julian Filochowski and Martin Pendergast, two longstanding figures in "pastoral outreach" to homosexual Catholics. The principal celebrant was Fr. Jim O'Keefe, with concelebrants including Bishop John Crowley, emeritus of Middlesbrough, and Bishop John Rawsthorne, emeritus of Hallam. "I gave no blessing to anyone" Cardinal Radcliffe claimed: "I gave no blessing to anyone and had not been aware that any blessings would be given." However, the picture above shows him making the sign of the cross during the blessing of the two homosexuals standing side by side like a married couple. The text was based on a …Ossotina
More than 150 people from Spain, Italy, the United States, South Africa, Guyana, and Taiwan attended the apostate and sacrilegious event. The principal celebrant was Father Jim O'Keefe, and the concelebrants included Radcliffe, two English bishops—John Crowley of Middlesbrough and John Rawsthorne of Hallam (both apostates)—as well as the apostate Canon Chris Vipers, from the parish.
Bull of Pope Boniface VIII promulgated November 18, 1302 We are informed by the texts of the gospels that in this Church and in its power are two swords; namely, the spiritual and the temporal. For when the Apostles say: ‘Behold, here are two swords‘ [Lk 22:38] that is to say, in the Church, since the Apostles were speaking, the Lord did not reply that there were too many, but sufficient. Certainly the one who denies that the temporal sword is in the power of Peter has not listened well to the word of the Lord commanding: ‘Put up thy sword into thy scabbard‘ [Mt 26:52]. Therefore, both are in the power of the Church, namely, the spiritual sword and the material. But indeed, the latter is to be exercised on behalf of the Church; and truly, the former is to be exercised by the Church. The former is of the priest; the latter is by the hand of kings and soldiers, but at the will and sufferance of the priest. However, one sword ought to be subordinated to the other and temporal authority,…Ossotina
On 5 July, the animal rights organisation PETA staged a blasphemous demonstration in Pamplona. The protest featured a man portraying Jesus Christ wearing a crown of thorns, surrounded by activists in bikinis covered in red paint, to oppose bullfighting and urge the Catholic Church to condemn the practice.

How Netanyahu's delusional 'protector of Christians' drivel fools no one Against the ongoing brazen Israeli invasion of southern Lebanon, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu just had the gall to tell pro-Zionist US media that some Christian villages in Lebanon, “have actually asked to be annexed to Israel because we protect them against Hezbollah." Netanyahu, wanted by the ICC for war crimes, and whose own security minister thirsts for all of Lebanon to “burn” — named no villages. Nor did he explain how Israeli “protection” squares with reducing churches to gravel. The Christian communities he purported to speak for publicly repudiated him. Fifteen towns in southern Lebanon’s Marjeyoun district issued a joint statement reaffirming their “loyalty to their national identity” and “attachment to their Lebanese flag.” The mayor of Rmeish, Hanna al‑Amil, told Lebanon’s National News Agency that even contemplating such a notion was “absolutely out of the question.” Netanyahu’s delusional …Ossotina

French Church Vandalised, Nothing Stolen: On 5 July, Saint-Étienne Church in Mulhouse, eastern France, was vandalised. A man entered the church, went straight to the sanctuary, removed the cross from the altar and threw it to the floor. He then knocked over a vase and used the cross to force open the doors of three confessionals, some dating back to the early 19th century. Nothing was stolen; the damage was confined to religious furnishings and symbols.
Dimanche 5 juillet, vers 16 h 30, l’église Saint-Étienne de Mulhouse a été la cible d’un acte de vandalisme. Un homme est entré dans l’édifice vide, a jeté au sol la croix de l’autel, renversé un vase, puis utilisé la croix pour fracturer les portes de trois confessionnaux, dont certains datent du début du XIXᵉ siècle.

Are there no true artists in the Church anymore? Must we be inundated always and forever with these garbage images that hold not a microcosm of the Church’s beauty and beliefs, nor the regal majesty of the Papal Office?
Archbishop Bernard Hebda of Saint Paul and Minneapolis wrote on July 2 about the episcopal consecrations by the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX): "In the ten years that I have led this local Church, I have met many sincere people who worship regularly or occasionally at the chapels of the SSPX within the territory of our Archdiocese. I have been impressed by the strength of their families and their commitment to traditional Catholic values." He acknowledges that the FSSPX bishops’ excommunication will affect them in a particular way and hopes they will not follow them “in separating themselves from Pope Leo XIV.” Monsignor Hebda also noted that the Traditional Latin Mass is celebrated at six locations in the Archdiocese, adding: “I am confident that those who prefer the Traditional Latin Mass could find a home here.” #newsEtakruhtwp

Society of St. Pius X’s Priest Stands Defiant Against Leo XIV’s Excommunication: ‘A Future Pope Will Welcome Us Back’ On this question of validity of episcopal succession, we do not even know if the outcome of the Great Schism of 1378 was canonically accurate. Speaking of which, how is it that Catherine of Siena (a woman Caterina di Jacopo di Benincasa, March 1347 – 29 April 1380) was instrumental in restoring order to a Church fractured into disunity as it is today?
1 Corinthians 5:13 God will judge those outside the church. So you must put that sinful person out of your church. Our Lady of Fatima: “More souls go to Hell because of the sins of the flesh than for any other reason.” Judgment on False Teachers Jude 7 just as Sodom and Gomor′rah and the surrounding cities, which likewise acted immorally and indulged in unnatural lust, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire. Hebrews 13:4 Let marriage be held in honor by all, and let the marriage bed be kept undefiled; for God will judge fornicators and adulterers. 1 Corinthians 5:11 But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother or sister[a] who is sexually immoral or greedy, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or robber. Do not even eat with such a one.

In the glory by which the Most Holy Trinity is usually represented in my visions I saw a movement like a great shining mountain, and yet also like a human figure; and I saw something rise out of the midst of this figure towards its mouth and go forth from it like a shining brightness. Then I saw this brightness standing separate before the Face of God, turning and shaping itself— or rather being shaped, for I saw that while this brightness took human form, yet it was by the Will of God that it received a form so unspeakably beautiful.
