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.
The 7 Joys of Mary. HolyFamilyAcademy Seven is a mystical number. Our Lady’s Sorrows are seven and are celebrated twice during the year — on the Friday before Good Friday and on September 15. Our Lady’s joys are also seven and are celebrated within the octave of the feast of her Immaculate Heart. The Seven Joys of Our Lady are: (1) The Annunciation; (2) the Visitation; (3) the Birth of Our Lord; (4) the Adoration of Jesus by the Magi; (5) the Finding of the Child Jesus in the Temple; (6) the Resurrection of Our Lord; (7) the Assumption of Mary in body and in soul into Heaven. The feast of The Seven Joys of Our Lady is a very special feast of the Franciscan Order and they recite in its honor the Franciscan Crown, which consists of a seven-decade rosary — seven Our Fathers and seventy Hail Marys, to which are added two Hail Marys because Our Lady was seventy-two when she died and was assumed into Heaven. catholicism.org/the-seven-joys-of-mary.html
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

And now, a crucial question arises: Could the cardinals of the 1958 conclave have known whether the new Pope was resigning under duress? The answer is yes! What's more, they knew it because they were all canonists, of course. But how could this be recognised? It's quite simple! We don't see a new Pope accepting his office only to renounce it half an hour later, and what's more, only in front of the cardinals, the people having been notified of his election only by the white smoke. The cardinals should therefore have informed the new Pope that his resignation was invalid under canon 185, and that the conclave was already over because of his acceptance.

Bishop Fredrik Hansen of Oslo, Norway, issued a July 3 statement following the episcopal consecrations by the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX). He said the two consecrating bishops and the four newly consecrated bishops had removed themselves from ecclesial communion and unity with the Pope: “This is sad, painful, and calls us to prayer and penance.” He urged Catholics to pray the Rosary for the unity of the Church on the Feast of Saint Sunniva, July 8. Monsignor Hansen repeated Cardinal Tucho Fernández’s explanation that the consecrations were a schismatic act and that the priests “can no longer validly grant absolution in the sacrament of confession.” He also urged Catholics to refrain from attending FSSPX Masses and other activities. Addressing FSSPX faithful directly, he wrote: “I understand that these are difficult and distressing days for you. You may find yourselves pulled in different directions, and perhaps stand bewildered before all that has now come to pass.” He …okunengi
Priest from excommunicated sect says future pope will reverse Vatican move This whole excommunication things is appearing more and more to be one huge joke, I know no one taking this matter seriously. Where is Pope St Pius X when you need him?
Did the 12 Apostles have to put up with this Vatican bureaucracy tit a tat? No. Why? Because Christ our Savior was their be all and end all. I doubt there are 4 priests today who could believe and declare Jesus Christ as their be all and end. They are too fretted with their standing and how they appear to others instead of Christ. It is sickening.
Rev. Gerald Murray, a New York canon lawyer, called the excommunication of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X "a canonical mess" in an interview with Raymond Arroyo (video below). Two Canonical Mechanisms Rev. Murray distinguishes automatic (latae sententiae) penalties from imposed (ferendae sententiae) penalties requiring a judicial or administrative process. Cardinal Victor "Tucho" Fernández did not impose excommunication but declared that an automatic penalty had already been incurred, since consecrating bishops without papal mandate triggers excommunication under canon law. Decree Excommunicates Only Six Bishops Rev. Murray's central criticism: the decree names only six bishops, while the explanatory note refers to priests and laity. But a note cannot legally expand a decree's scope. The note calls priests "schismatics," yet the decree itself never declares them excommunicated. Since a penal decree must specify who committed which offense and when, and this was omitted, Rev. …okunengi
In other words, it's invalid. Church teaching says you can't be excommunicated by a heretic - LifeSite St. Thomas Aquinas: "The power of jurisdiction is not indelibly attached, nor is it connected with the power of orders. Consequently, it can be lost and suspended by heretical or schismatical persons, and therefore they neither absolve nor excommunicate, nor grant indulgences, nor do anything of the kind; and if they do, it is invalid."
– Folha de S. Paulo, December 10, 1972 – by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira The contradiction could not be more glaring. On the one hand, signs of the deterioration of communist regimes around the world are accumulating on the horizon. Just a few months ago, for example, Russia aspired to conquer the entire old continent. The strategy to achieve this had already been chosen: establishing a pan-European federation from the Urals to the Tagus, with its seat of power in Moscow. This ambitious plan would not be so difficult to carry out. Most European governments are short-sighted and weak. Thus, they lack the capacity to discern what is fallacious in the European Federation project and to resist the thousand propaganda pressures that favor it. Once the Federation was formed, the real difficulty would lie in creating habits of submission, poverty, and irreligion among Western European populations, over which communism would gradually spread like a cloak of insecurity, hunger, and crass materialism. …okunengi
Vatican Newspaper Denies Devil: Biblical scholar and feminist Marinella Perroni, 78, wrote for the July issue of L'Osservatore Romano's monthly supplement Donne Chiesa Mondo. She claims that "in the Genesis account there is no devil"; rather, "the serpent is simply the most cunning animal in the eyes of the desert nomads." She argues - that belief in evil spirits entered Jewish theology only at a relatively late stage through contact with other ancient religions, - that the devil as a distinct figure appears only in the late and strongly Hellenized Book of Wisdom, and - that St. Paul and the First Letter to Timothy linked "the serpent, the woman, and the fruit" to "the devil, women, and sin," thereby reinforcing a patriarchal understanding of sexual difference.

AN EXTRACT FROM THE LIFE OF SAINT HYPATIUS1 by Callinicus, his disciple (n. 105, l. 22-n. 107, l. 26) […] Nestorius came from Antioch to become bishop of the illustrious and ruling city of Constantinople (Dionysius, who had been named military commander of the East, brought him), as he was drawing nigh to the city, Saint Hypatius saw, in the holy Church of this capital city, that some worldly men installed him on the throne, and at once a voice saying, “Three times and a half a time and you (pl.) root up the cockle.” 106. So Hypatius began to say to certain persons and to the brothers, “I am anxious, children, about the man who is to become [bishop], for I have learned about him that he is to go astray in the faith and he governs three and a half years.” […] Nestorius thought otherwise than ought to be thought, Hypatius immediately, in the church of the Apostle, removed his name, so that it should not be exalted in the oblation. The most circumspect Bishop Eulalius having learned this …okunengi
essica Rojas @VoicesUnheard Old History Channel clip that still hits hard. 1983: Just 30 Watts of radio waves accurately mapped oil wells across 9 states by vibrating the Earth’s layers like piano strings. 1987: Researcher says turning on similar ELF tech near a fault line accidentally triggered a 4-4.5 quake. HAARP: Massive power beamed into the ionosphere, waves that reflect back through ground and ocean. “If you do this with a billion Watts, the vibrations could be so severe underground that could even cause an earthquake.” If this was possible in the 80s... What are they capable of in 2026? I’m just asking questions. Resonance physics is real. The tech has advanced dramatically. What do you think
