Five women who allege abuse by former Jesuit Marko Rupnik have appealed directly to Pope Leo XIV over his trial, saying its lengthy and secretive handling is denying them justice. In an open letter, they say they have received no updates on the proceedings and have not been able to give testimony. This sends a devastating message, they argue: that reporting abuse to Church authorities is “useless” because “nothing happens anyway and no one will be held accountable.” They urge Leo XIV to ensure a fair trial so that its judgment and outcome, whatever they may be, remain “free of any shadow of doubt.”
Padre Pio and Maximilian Kolbe, Patron Saints behind Fr Gordon MacRae’s blog, have an obscure thread of connection that magnifies witness, sacrifice, and fatherhood.
Leo XIV claims that Christ founded a “religious movement” - in direct contradiction to Church teaching and the Gospel. The recently published document The Path of Hope was signed by the heads of three Vatican dicasteries and approved by Leo XIV on 22 June. It states in §10: “Early Christianity developed from the movement initiated by Jesus and his disciples, distinguishing itself from the various forms of Judaism over time.” That’s the liberal Protestant view associated with figures such as Albert Schweitzer.

23.09.2026 30 SUMMORUM PONTIFICUM GROUPS ABJURE THE CATHOLIC FAITH IN OCTOBER AT MARY MAJORS They are politically correct like Cardinals Cupich and Fernandez. Thirty organizations under the Summorum Pontificum banner interpret Vatican Council II and the Nicene Creed etc, irrationally and not rationally, and so avoid ‘the terrorist’ charge. They prudently avoid being being excommunicated by the Vatican. Among the Summorum Pontificum (SP) leaders are Fr. Claude Barthe. Roberto Mattei is associated with Coetus International. Diana Montagna is one of the speakers at the conference. ORIGINAL COETUS WAS CUSHINGITE AND HERETICAL The original Coetus group at Vatican Council II interpreted the Council irrationally by confusing what is implicit as being explicit. They then accepted the non traditional and liberal conclusion. It made the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus (EENS), obsolete, with alleged visible and known exceptions. Now in 2026 it is known that with LG 8, 14, 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 …More

A 2026 study found an interesting link between siblings and teen mental health. Researchers looked at data from 16,725 teenagers in rural China from 2010 to 2022. Teens with more siblings were less likely to show signs of depression, with an even stronger effect among younger teens. Each additional sibling was linked to a 1.7–1.8 percentage-point lower probability of depression.
