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.

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 …കൂടുതൽ
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.

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 …കൂടുതൽ
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.

Controversy in 2025 under Previous Archbishop In 2025, when the Archdiocese of Morelia was led by Monsignor Carlos Garfias Merlos, 75, the group Otro Rebaño participated in a homosexual march in Morelia.

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).

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?
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 …കൂടുതൽ
Israel’s Widest Demolition Wave in Months: Israeli forces carried out demolitions across several West Bank communities, affecting homes, businesses, and farms. Near Anza, south of Jenin, owners of three buildings with 18 shops and two apartments were given 40 minutes to evacuate before demolition. Israel says the demolitions target unpermitted construction, while humanitarian groups say Palestinians in Area C are rarely granted building permits. Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yisrael Katz also announced more home demolitions, weapons confiscations, and work permit revocations. Palestinian officials say 341 demolition operations in the first half of 2026 destroyed about 740 structures and affected 923 Palestinians.

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,…കൂടുതൽ
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. …കൂടുതൽ
Environmental Propaganda in Paris Church. Worse than Germany: Since July 9, the nave of Saint-Eustache - one of Paris's largest historic churches - has housed Le Souffle, a 7-meter-tall laser-cut aluminum sculpture by contemporary artist Lydie Arickx. Suspended from the church's central vault, the work is presented as evoking deep-sea coral, the Tree of Life, and the human heart while promoting environmental awareness. The installation defaces the church through 29 September.

Today, Leo XIV appointed Bishop Gerard Nash, 67, as Bishop of Ossory while he remains also Bishop of Ferns. The pope united two neighboring Irish dioceses in persona episcopi. Under this arrangement, both dioceses retain for now their separate legal identities but are entrusted to the same bishop. Bishop Nash has led the Diocese of Ferns since 2021 and has served as Apostolic Administrator of Ossory since January 2026. Together, the two dioceses serve less than 200,000 Catholics. The appointment marks another step in the ongoing restructuring of the shrinking Church in Ireland. The policy of diocesan consolidation is clearly expanding beyond western Ireland While three previous in persona episcopi unions took place within the Ecclesiastical Province of Tuam in western Ireland, the union of Ferns and Ossory is the first outside that province.
