A 'ritual concert' featuring shamanic elements was held inside a medieval Spanish church. On September 18, Barcelona’s Romanesque church of Sant Pau del Camp hosted a “ritual concert” by Kuyay Santosha. The event featured ancestral chants, improvisation and music presented as a bridge between the human and "the sacred". Santosha describes her work through healing music, ancient spiritual ritual, and uses instruments including a shamanic drum. Tickets cost €25. Sant Pau del Camp is being used for the Novus Ordo.
Luxembourg Cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich described (the Church’s two millennia of belief) the process of synodality initiated by Pope Francis as “irreversible.” At the same time, referring to the Church in Europe, Cardinal Hollerich told Kurier.at that this “process of decline is also a process of healing.”
Decline is destruction, which leads to death. Healing is growth, with strength and endurance, which produces good health, both spiritually and physically.

Leo XIV awards Ratzinger Prize to theologian who attacked Benedict XVI’s Summorum Pontificum. John C. Cavadini will be awarded with the 2026 Ratzinger Prize, announced today by the Joseph Ratzinger–Benedict XVI Vatican Foundation. Pope Leo XIV will present the prize on December 19 at the Apostolic Palace. Cavadini, a professor of theology at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana, has written extensively on Ratzinger. Benedict XVI. appointed him to the International Theological Commission in 2009. Cavadini is an explicit critic of Benedict's Motu Proprio Summorum Pontificum that liberalized the traditional Roman rite. In 2022, the three "conservatives" Cavadini, Mary Healy and Fr Thomas Weinandy published a series in Notre Dame’s Church Life Journal on the post-Vatican II liturgical reform. “In normalizing the Tridentine Mass, Benedict undermined the principle by which, as he himself insists, Vatican II must be interpreted: a hermeneutic of continuity,” they wrote. They went further …Magis
The Ratzinger-Frings attack on the Holy Office (1963) On 8 November 1963, Card. Frings declared in the Conciliar aula: “The Holy Office’s manner of conducting itself in many spheres is not in step with our times, is detrimental to the Church, and is a cause of scandal for many.” He was, of course, speaking from a script known to have been previously dictated by Ratzinger.2 Peter Seewald commented that “no one had ever dared before to criticize Ottaviani’s machinery so fiercely.” 3 It is a well recorded fact in the annals of the Council that Card. Ottaviani was several times publicly humiliated by progressivist reformers, especially from Germany, in a manner that defied both Christian charity and the gentlemanly code of ethics. The Frings/Ratzinger broadside, which constituted one of the Council’s most emotionally-charged and dramatic events, was no exception.

Church decline: Scottish bishops present plans to merge dioceses. The bishops of Scotland have presented on Monday seven options for a possible reduction in the number of dioceses. The Vatican had asked the bishops to review the diocesan structure in light of declining clergy numbers and diminishing resources. The bishops, however, say the process is “about how we can better proclaim the Gospel” and “strengthen our parishes and communities for evangelisation”. Six options envisage mergers: five would each merge two dioceses, while one would bring together three. The seventh option would retain Scotland’s current eight dioceses but provide for greater cooperation and mutual support. The eight dioceses are currently divided between the ecclesiastical provinces of Glasgow and St Andrews and Edinburgh. The proposed mergers are Argyll and the Isles with Paisley; Argyll and the Isles with Glasgow; Paisley with Galloway; Galloway with Motherwell; and St Andrews and Edinburgh with Dunkeld. A …Magis

PUTIN’S CONTRADICTORY POSITION ON WAR WITH EUROPE Putin made fresh threats against Europe this week, after several European countries committed to sending peacekeeping troops to Ukraine should an eventual peace deal be made... Even though his threat is a bluff, Putin is obviously against peacekeepers because he has no intention of abiding by any peace deal with Ukraine. He plans to just use any temporary peace deal to rebuild and attack again. And that is because there never was a true “fall” of Communism nor a “fall” of the Soviet Union. The Communists simply went underground, and created a massive deception to fool the West into letting down their guard, so they could be enticed into helping Russia rebuild its oil and military resources.

Vatican concludes “reflection process” with bi-ritual congregation SJM. The Vatican has formally concluded a multi-year reflection process involving the Servants of Jesus and Mary (SJM), a Catholic religious congregation in Austria, founded in 1988. The community celebrates both the Novus Ordo and the traditional Roman rite. It remains closely associated with the Catholic Scouts of Europe (KPE). The Vatican’s process began in late 2022, when it appointed former abbot Raimund Schreier as Apostolic Assistant. His task was to “accompany” the SJM for a period originally planned to last three years. The community examined its history, internal structures, self-understanding and its founder, former Jesuit Andreas Hönisch. In June, the community and the Apostolic Assistant submitted the relevant documents to the Vatican’s Dicastery for Religious. It has now declared the process concluded. According to the SJM, the dicastery encouraged the congregation to: - “continue promoting an open culture …Magis
