Today, Pope Leo XIV issued a new Fundamental Law for Vatican City State, replacing the 2023 constitution and codifying recent governance reforms in a 25-article text. The new law enshrines Francis' reforms in the constitution, notably allowing a non-cardinal — including a woman — to serve as President of the Vatican City State's Pontifical Commission and Governorship. Separation of Vatican City State and the Holy See The Pope remains constitutionally supreme. Article 1 states that he holds the full legislative, executive and judicial authority, meaning there is no separation of powers at the highest level. Article 2 explains that Vatican City State exists to guarantee the independence of the Holy See but is legally distinct from the Roman Curia and the institutions of the Holy See. Although this distinction has long existed in practice, it is now stated more explicitly. The clarification has implications for diplomacy, finances and legal responsibility.

Conservative Archbishop Alexander K. Sample of Portland, Oregon attacked in an in-house interview on Youtube.com on July 28 the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX). Main quotes. • "The FSSPX's recent consecration of bishops without a papal mandate takes the situation to a whole new level. They are now the second time bishops have been consecrated." • "They see themselves as the faithful remnant, as though the rest of the Church is wrong and they alone are right. Folks, please don't be in that position." • "I don't attribute any ill will to these folks. They're sincere in wanting to preserve tradition and be faithful Catholics. But they have in fact become something else now, especially in light of these recent consecrations." • "They still mention the Pope in the Eucharistic Prayer, but it's just words. It's not a real communion. They give lip service." Summorum Pontificum Not About FSSPX • "Everybody thinks that Pope Benedict issued Summorum Pontificum... to bring them back …بیہ
Benedict himself: he said he issued Summorum Pontificum in order to reconcile the Church with her past." That statement has implications. The Catholic Church has no need what so ever of reconciling herself with her past. If she did she would not be Catholic by definition. If the church is in a state of unreconciliation she is estranged. Pope Benedict knew this. For this reason he issued the Summorum pontificum freeing up the Mass. He gave it three years. Having received feedback on its implementation he issued a set of clarifications and gave it another 3 years. Our Lord has provided us with a parable that appears to describe Benedict’s action. The tree that gave no fruit and the husband man who besought his master not to cut it down until he tried to resuscitate it.
When Wildfire Could Not Touch Christ | Shalom World News When a fierce wildfire swept through Gironde, France, it reduced forests to ashes, destroyed homes, and forced countless families to flee. Yet amid the blackened landscape, one image has touched hearts around the world—Jesus’ figure carved out of stone, titled "The Saved Savior,” standing untouched while the wooden cross on which he was hanging was completely consumed by the flames. Captured by photographer Patrick Bernard, the striking scene has become a powerful reminder of hope during devastation. While nature unleashed its fury, the image of Christ remained standing, silently proclaiming a truth that has comforted believers for centuries: even in humanity's darkest moments, God's presence endures. For many, this image of Jesus is more than a surviving monument. It is an invitation to trust that faith, hope, and the love of Christ can never be consumed by fire.
Als das Waldfeuer Christus nicht berühren konnte | Shalom World News Als ein verheerender Waldbrand durch die Gironde in Frankreich fegte, legte er Wälder in Schutt und Asche, zerstörte Häuser und zwang unzählige Familien zur Flucht. Doch inmitten der geschwärzten Landschaft berührte ein Bild die Herzen der Menschen weltweit: die aus Stein gehauene Jesusfigur mit dem Titel „Der erlöste Erlöser“, unversehrt, während das Holzkreuz, an dem er hing, vollständig von den Flammen verzehrt wurde. Die eindrucksvolle Szene, festgehalten vom Fotografen Patrick Bernard, ist zu einer kraftvollen Erinnerung an die Hoffnung in Zeiten der Verwüstung geworden. Während die Natur ihre Wut entfesselte, blieb das Bildnis Christi bestehen und verkündete stumm eine Wahrheit, die Gläubige seit Jahrhunderten tröstet: Selbst in den dunkelsten Stunden der Menschheit bleibt Gottes Gegenwart bestehen. Für viele ist dieses Bildnis Jesu mehr als nur ein erhaltenes Denkmal. Es ist eine Einladung, darauf zu vertrauen,…بیہ
The Diocese of Providence in Rhode Island is holding a series of “Listening Sessions” for homosexuals and their friends at four parishes. According to the diocesan website, Bishop Bruce Lewandowski, 59, is presiding at each gathering, which includes the celebration of the Eucharist, small-group sharing, and a community dinner. The diocesan announcement opens with Pope Francis' notorious words, “Todos, Todos, Todos” (“Everyone, Everyone, Everyone”). LepantoIn.org asked the diocese whether confession would be available and whether participants would be invited to repentance and conversion in accordance with Catholic teaching. Instead of answering those questions, the diocesan communications director replied only: “As the diocesan bishop, Bishop Lewandowski has the pastoral responsibility to know and understand the spiritual needs of all the souls entrusted to his care.” Picture: LepantoIn.org, #newsVedmnhuvak
If the 'bishop' in question thinks he's responsible for the "care of souls" of all groups in his diocese does he warn them of the consequences of SIN? Does he have special Masses with dinners for Traditional Catholics who are only striving to live a devout life in accord with Catholic spirituality? Well?

Saint Thomas Aquinas commenting on Romans 1 pointed out that $odomit3s are idol@t3rs: «(Rm 6,23): The wages of sin is death. All their idols will be burned in the fire ((Micah 1,7). And it is noteworthy that the Apostle very reasonably assigns to vices against nature, which are very serious among carnal sins, the punishment of idolatry (...) ». In Romans 1:32 St. Paul also points out that homos3xual 4ctivists are $odomit3s themselves
Saint Germanus of Auxerre | From Roman Governor to Holy Bishop | Feast Day July 31 Today, the Church honours Germanus of Auxerre, whose feast day is celebrated on July 31. Born around AD 378 in Gaul, Germanus enjoyed a successful career as a Roman lawyer, military commander, and governor. He was respected for his leadership and influence, and few would have imagined that God had prepared a very different mission for his life. After the death of the Bishop of Auxerre, the local people chose Germanus to become their new bishop. Although he had not sought the position, he accepted God's call with humility. His life changed dramatically. He gave away much of his wealth to the poor, embraced a life of simplicity, prayer, fasting, and penance, and dedicated himself completely to serving Christ and His Church. Saint Germanus is especially remembered for travelling twice to Britain to defend the Catholic faith against the Pelagianism. Through his preaching, teaching, and holy example, many …بیہ
Saint Germain d'Auxerre - le 31 juillet Évêque d'Auxerre (+ 448) Il était marié et remplissait de hautes fonctions officielles quand il devint évêque d'Auxerre en 418. C'est l'une des plus grandes figures épiscopales de son époque. Son influence s'étendit à la Gaule toute entière tant il était estimé aussi bien des chefs barbares que des empereurs. La mort vint le chercher à Ravenne, alors capitale impériale de l'Occident où il était venu plaider la cause des Bretons maltraités par les gouverneurs impériaux.

Society has a thirst for transcendence, but “the old instruments have already fulfilled their purpose and no longer meet the needs of today's people". This claims Bishop Tomáš Holub, 58, of Plzeň, Czech Republic, in a lengthy article about "Synodality and the Novus Ordo Missae" on 21 July on the blog Come se non, run by the Italian theologian Andrea Grillo. Grillo is an opponent of the Roman rite and is considered an influencer of Traditionis Custodes. According to Bishop Holub, a missionary outlook must be rooted in synodality: "Synodality is not merely a technique of communication, but a way of living the faith... The point is not to hold a synod, but to become a synod." The Czech bishop goes on that the Novus Ordo provides the appropriate expression of the Church's synodal identity: "The Novus Ordo makes it possible for this synodality to be applied in the liturgical sphere. Otherwise, this would be very difficult, since the Vetus Ordo is the expression of a Tridentine vision of the …بیہ
Pope Leo XIV talked on July 29 with Tom Llamas (NBC) about his heritage and what it means to be the first pope from the US. “First of all, just to clarify, I think of myself more as the pope who happens to be American, not to belittle what it means to be American”, Leo XIV said. Leo XIV loves about America “the sense of freedom, the sense of opportunity, the sense of having invited for generations people from around the world to be part of America.” Discussing his family's heritage, he said, “I come from a family where my grandparents were immigrants. On my mother’s side, we have people who were both slaves and slave owners.” Llamas also asked when the pope will visit the United States. “In the next couple of years,” Leo answered. The interview was Leo XIV's first interview with a US television journalist, and it aired alongside the Concert for Peace, marking the 800th anniversary of St. Francis of Assisi's death, featuring Andrea Bocelli and a 200-child interfaith choir from conflict-…بیہ
Poland's Constitutional Tribunal has ruled that homosex “marriages” performed abroad cannot be entered into the country's civil registry. Doing so would violate Article 18 of the Polish Constitution, which defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman. The July 28 ruling comes after a series of conflicting legal decisions. In November 2025, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) held that Poland must recognize homosex marriages performed in other EU member states where necessary to protect EU free movement rights. In March, Poland's Supreme Administrative Court applied that judgment, and the government began preparing regulations to implement it. The Constitutional Tribunal has now reached the opposite conclusion, holding that foreign marriage certificates may only be transcribed if they meet the constitutional definition of marriage. The court said any change would require an amendment to the Constitution and legislation passed by Parliament - not administrative action. …بیہ
