Leo XIV appoints enemy of Roman Mass, Archbishop Viola, as archpriest of St. Peter’s – “More to the left than Andrea Grillo”, wears Bugnini’s ring. Today, Pope Leo XIV appointed Archbishop Vittorio Francesco Viola, 61, O.F.M., as Archpriest of St. Peter’s Basilica, Vicar General for Vatican City, and President of the Fabric of St. Peter. He succeeds Cardinal Mauro Gambetti. Monsignor Viola will likely be created a cardinal, as every listed Archpriest of St. Peter’s for hundreds of years has been a cardinal. In 2021, when he was Bishop of Tortona, Francis appointed him Secretary of the Dicastery for Divine Worship. Viola’s career was strongly supported by Archbishop Domenico Sorrentino, who served as Prelate of Pompeii, Secretary of the Congregation for Divine Worship, and later Bishop of Assisi. In Assisi, he worked closely with Viola, who was active in Franciscan, liturgical, and charitable work. Archbishop Viola is part of the circle inspired by Archbishop Annibale Bugnini, the architect …Көбірек
Leo XIV has appointed Vittorio Francesco Viola OFM, the current secretary of the Dicastery for Divine Worship, and prime enforcer of Traditionis custodes, who famously wears the episcopal ring of Annibale Bugnini, as Vicar General of Vatican City State, Archpriest of St. Peter's Basilica and President of the Fabric of St. Peter.
Archbishop Cordileone: "It is very clear to me that there was more unity in the Church when we were living under Summorum Pontificum than we are now under Traditionis Custodes."

Why Modern Marriage Crumbles Beneath the Rebellion of Decades of Lawlessness You sit in your houses, weeping over the wreckage of your broken vows, pointing your soft, therapeutic fingers at "poor communication" and "unmet emotional needs." You treat marriage like a marketplace for mutual self-admiration, a perpetual indulgence of the passions, and a playground for unrestrained desire. Repent. You are looking at the smoke while ignoring the fire. What you call a "modern marriage" is no marriage at all. It is nothing more than a glorified shack-up between two so-called equals—the terrible, rotten fruit of the 1960s sexual revolution, which tore down the moral fences of Christendom and baptized lawlessness as liberty. If you stripped away the cowardice of this age and listened to the unyielding voice of the ancient Fathers—confirmed and systematically sealed by the angelic doctor Thomas Aquinas—you would see why your dwellings are falling into the dust. You have committed a double rebellion …Көбірек
Concubinages may contain “authentic love” - Leo XIV-appointed Bishop at the 'Amoris Laetitia' meeting. At the Vatican meeting marking ten years of Amoris Laetitia, Bishop Stephen Fernandes, 65, spoke on October 9 about accompanying unmarried couples. Leo XIV had apointed him as auxiliary bishop of Bombay, India, in October 2025. Discussing differences between countries, Bishop Fernandes said: “The Gospel remains one, but pastoral pathways cannot be identical everywhere.” Addressing cohabitation, he said that “we should resist both indifference and condemnation.” He proposed asking: “What is already good in their relationship? Where can we discern signs of generosity, fidelity, responsibility and grace?” Fernandes also questioned whether moving such couples toward marriage should be the sole objective: “The question is not simply: How can we move this couple towards a wedding? It is also: Are these two people truly called to marriage, and are they ready to enter into a lifelong marital …Көбірек
Homily October 11, 2026 Isaiah 25:6-10a “The Lord will provide for all peoples a feast.” He is ready. Let us receive all of God’s grace. Philippians 4:12-14, 19-20 “I know how to live in humble circumstances.” Joy, peace, and the love of God cost nothing. Matthew 22:1-14 “Come to the feast.” Let’s stay with God, in God. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.
This… is not great news. For years, Viola has been identified as the éminence grise (no pun intended) behind Cardinal Roche’s maneuvers against the Traditional Latin Rite. Now, he is elevated to a central position in the Vatican, and as a probable future Cardinal.
We all know why... Robert Kennedy Jr: “We’re seeing an explosion in all cancers in young people and particularly soft tissue cancers. But more than that, most alarming probably, is this giant increase in colorectal cancers... We are in the process of developing very, very rigid screening recommendations for young people with colorectal cancers. We’re also looking at causation.”
The funny thing about this man is that he pretends he is against vaccines. On the other hand he is working with Dr. Oz and phizer to come up with more vaccines and just as fast as the last batch Trump loves to claim as the vax Daddy.
Leo XIV promotes Italian bishop who calls Ramadan “return to God” and “path toward holiness”. Today, Leo XIV appointed Archbishop Giorgio Ferretti of Foggia-Bovino, Italy, additionally as bishop of Lucera-Troia. Ferretti now leads both dioceses, united in persona episcopi, under the same bishop. Such arrangements between neighbouring dioceses sometimes precede a later merger. Born in Genoa in 1967 and ordained in 2004, Ferretti belongs to the Missionary Fraternity of Sant'Egidio, associated with social outreach, ecumenism and interreligious dialogue. Francis appointed him Archbishop of Foggia-Bovino in November 2023. Supports big mosque in his city In March 2024, Ferretti wrote to Muslims that Ramadan urges an interior “return to God”. He also described Ramada as a “holy way”. His message opened by greeting “brothers and sisters of the Islamic faith, al-salam alaykum”. As bishop, Ferretti has participated every year in diocesan Caritas meals celebrating the end of Ramadan (pictured). …Көбірек
Ukraine Isn’t a Charity Case, It’s the World’s Top Military School All of the military tacticians in the world are studying this modern war and Ukraine’s ability to innovate and produce (under the most austere, wartime conditions) new drone technology on the cheap. Ukraine’s success in blunting the entire conventional army of Russia with the use of drones has every military strategist reassessing tactics and equipment. While drones cannot win wars by themselves, they can deter even armored forces from invading a country with impunity.
Here is one of your buddies Jeff. You sound so much alike. But you do quote and support them. So no wonder. NATO chief says ‘almost sure’ is enough to blame Russia Mark Rutte expressed support for countries that try to pin almost any incident on Moscow NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte has urged member states to blame any incident they find suspicious on Russia even if they lack irrefutable evidence. He also hailed a recent accusation made by Estonia against its eastern neighbor and called on other nations to follow suit. And old saying goes, takes one to know one. Jeff and Rutte and his daddy Trump!
Gee @Instaurare Omnia in Christo I'd love to comment but you're a BLOCKER! Besides you believe everything Russia propaganda puts out and not the Catholic Church's teachings on this subject, so whatever!
The parish of St. Francis of Assisi in Raleigh, North Carolina, celebrating on social media its participation in the homosexual Pride march in Durham on October 3. The parish says its homosexual ministry was founded in 1999 and has participated in Durham Pride since the early 2000s. Bishop Luis Rafael Zarama of Raleigh has met this public activity with silence.
Not without Russia being rewarded for their aggression into Crimea and the Donbas. In essence, Trump is saying, "Ukraine could have capitulated at any time," but that would never have been just to the Ukrainians, and it would allow Putin to get away with his stealth invasion which began clear back in 2014. By the way, I repeat what Putin told Tucker Carlson in his Moscow interview, that Stalin put the two Russian speaking areas of the Donbas into the boundaries of Ukraine, but claimed not to know why. He's lying. The reason is obvious: it provided a pretext for a future invasion after Russia pulled off the long-planned phony fall of the Soviet Union.
Chinese Underground Church Consecrated 10 Bishops without Papal Mandate After the 2018 Sino-Vatican agreement “terrible things happen to Catholics” in the Fujian province, an anonymous Chinese bishop who is unaffiliated with the Chinese state church ‘Patriotic Association’, told Anthony Clark for CatholicWorldReport.com on August 23. The bishop speaks of a “state of emergency”. As government influence over the bishops increases, “the integrity of the Catholic faith will suffer.” To “assure the survival of China’s Church,” new bishops have been “secretly consecrated.” The bishop says the faithful question Rome’s genuine concern for their “spiritual well-being” when the Holy See approves government-selected bishops whom they regard as too reliable to the state. The number is unknown, but he suggested that “at least ten new bishops” were consecrated for the underground community in the Fujian province. #newsTzdkbhbakv
Many Australians know what's happening down under - including Australian Catholics! Let's keep Australia, the World and the Church, Catholic and Apostolic with our voices, example and living. Faithfulness and Fortitude are necessary.
Leo XIV praises foundational Lutheran document: The Augsburg Confession by Melanchthon. Today, Leo XIV received a delegation of the Lutheran World Federation. He said: “Renewed communion in the apostolic faith, in the sacraments [!], and in the ministries is the goal of our ecumenical journey of grace.” Leo XIV focused particularly on the year 2030, which will mark the 500th anniversary of the Augsburg Confession, presenting it as an opportunity to advance Catholic-Lutheran ecumenism and the pursuit of “full, visible unity.” He claimed: “The Augsburg Confession was originally intended as a document of reconciliation within the Church. Only later did it come to be understood as a text of divisive confessionalization.” He wants to “succeed in affirming together the pre-confessional ecumenical potential of the Confessio Augustana.” Main Objections to the Confessio Augustana The Augsburg Confession (Confessio Augustana) was presented to Emperor Charles V at the Diet of Augsburg on 25 June …Көбірек
Oops! John Paul II, June 25, 1982, called the Augsburg Confession one of the "great and common foundations of our Christian Faith." Leo is just following "St." John Paul "the Great."
