يصف الكاتب ستيفن تاكر، المقيم في المملكة المتحدة، رئيس الوزراء البريطاني الكاثوليكي آندي بورنهام بأنه «شخص كاثوليكي غير كاثوليكي»، وذلك في مقال نُشر في 7 أغسطس على موقع CrisisMagazine.com. فقد استوعب بورنهام تيارًا يساريًّا محددًا من «التعاليم الاجتماعية الكاثوليكية» ينتمي إلى ليفربول، وهو في الحقيقة اشتراكية مقنعة. النقاط الرئيسية: كان للمطران ديريك وورلوك (1920–1996) من ليفربول تأثير كبير على بورنهام خلال شبابه. عندما كان بورنهام خادم مذبح، كان يشغل أشرطة تسجيل لخطب وورلوك التي كان ينتقد فيها الحكومة المركزية لإهمالها منطقة الشمال الغربي. كان بورنهام يعتبر أن «الغالبية العظمى» من الموظفين في مدارسه الكاثوليكية من أنصار حزب العمال، وقد شجعوه على السير في هذا الاتجاه. في عام 2012، قال بورنهام: «ما كنت أقرأه في كتاب التعليم المسيحي — وتجسيده على الأرض — كان حزب العمال». وقد شارك في الحملات الانتخابية وصوّت وتظاهر من أجل «زواج» المثليين، وتبني المثليين للأطفال، والسياسات المتعلقة بالجندر. بل إنه أيد دخول الرجال إلى المرافق المخصصة للنساء. وأثناء توليه منصب عمدة مانشستر، شارك في مسيرة في …المزيد
الشقاء في أن تكون مسلماً – 937 في الوقت الذي تتيح به العقيدة المسيحية للمؤمن بأن يكون مشاركاً في الطبيعة الإلهية (الرسالة الثانية لبطرس، الإصحاح الأول، الآية الرابعة) وبأن يصبح انتماؤه بالدرجة الأولى إلى الآب، الإبن والروح القدس – وهو سر يتجاوز العالم المادي إنما تجسده الكنيسة بشكل محسوس (إنجيل يوحنا، الإصحاح 17، الآية 21) – يبقى الفرد المسلم مستثنى من أي مشاركة في طبيعة الله، فهو لا ينتمي إلا لجماعة المسلمين، المتعارف على تسميتها بـ"الأمة". غير أن الأمة، التي لا تقرّ أساساً القانون الطبيعي، لا تشكل بدورها مجموعة مدنية أو سياسية: فالحق الأعلى للتشريع محصور بيد الله وحده دوناً عن جماعة المسلمين إذ هو أمر خارج عن صلاحية جماعة المؤمنين أو حتى عن العقلانية البشرية. إن التكليف الحصري للأمة هو إنفاذ تعاليم القرآن والأمر بالمعروف والنهي عن المنكر (سورة آل عمران – السورة الثالثة من القرآن بآياتها 110 و114) دوناً عن أي شكل من أشكال الإندماج في الإنسانية جمعاء، لا بل إن الأمة الإسلامية مأمورة بالقضاء على الإنسانية واستبدالها بإنسانية إسلامية (سورة التوبة بآياتها 33 و73). من هذا المنطلق الشرعي، …المزيد
Cardinal Matteo Zuppi of Bologna and president of the Italian Bishops’ Conference attended the private funeral of Italian singer-songwriter Francesco Guccini in Pavana on Saturday. He delivered an address, published on Avvenire.it (August 8), in which he practically canonized the self-described agnostic. Guccini, 86, had described himself as an “agnostic possibilist.” Zuppi, who was his friend, recalled that the singer had once told him he wanted the cardinal present at his funeral. Addressing Guccini directly, Cardinal Zuppi imagined what the deceased might now be seeing: “We do not know precisely … what you see: the fullness of that light which, in reality, you had already sensed from here and which you were able to glimpse in the poignant and infinite beauty of life.” Cardinal Zuppi portrayed Guccini’s agnostic doubt positively, as an honest search for truth. “Doubt was your way of standing before things without cheating, with integrity,” he said. “You never stopped asking and listening.” …المزيد

Today, Pope Leo XIV received Cardinal Willem Jacobus Eijk, 73, of Utrecht, in audience. AdVaticanum.com reported that the audience comes amid renewed attention to the cardinal’s health. Cardinal Eijk was absent from both extraordinary consistories convened by Pope Leo XIV this year, in January and June, with his absence from the June gathering reported as health-related. His health problems stretch back more than two decades. In 2001, while serving as Bishop of Groningen, he suffered a brainstem infarction. One of its lasting consequences was severe facial pain. On March 2, 2020, the Archdiocese of Utrecht published excerpts from a letter Cardinal Eijk had sent that day to members of pastoral teams. The letter concerned treatment he had undergone abroad for the facial pain caused by his 2001 brainstem infarction. Cardinal Eijk wrote: “I never made public statements about this facial pain, because I wanted to prevent people from sparing me because of it and from being reluctant to call …المزيد
استقبل البابا ليو الرابع عشر اليوم الكاردينال ويليم جاكوبوس إيك، البالغ من العمر 73 عامًا، من أوتريخت، في جلسة استماع. وأفاد موقع AdVaticanum.com بأن هذه المقابلة تأتي في ظل تجدد الاهتمام بحالة الكاردينال الصحية. فقد غاب الكاردينال إيك عن كل من الاجتماعين الاستثنائيين لمجلس الكرادلة اللذين عقدهما البابا ليو الرابع عشر هذا العام، في يناير ويونيو، حيث أُفيد أن غيابه عن اجتماع يونيو كان لأسباب صحية. وتعود مشاكله الصحية إلى أكثر من عقدين من الزمن. ففي عام 2001، أثناء خدمته كأسقف لغرونينغن، أصيب باحتشاء في جذع الدماغ. وكانت إحدى العواقب المستمرة لذلك الألم الشديد في الوجه. في 2 مارس 2020، نشرت أبرشية أوتريخت مقتطفات من رسالة كان الكاردينال إيك قد أرسلها في ذلك اليوم إلى أعضاء الفرق الرعوية. وتناولت الرسالة العلاج الذي خضع له في الخارج لعلاج آلام الوجه الناجمة عن احتشاء جذع الدماغ الذي أصيب به عام 2001. كتب الكاردينال إيك: «لم أدلِ أبدًا بتصريحات علنية بشأن آلام الوجه هذه، لأنني أردتُ أن أمنع الناس من تجنبي بسببها ومن أن يترددوا في اللجوء إليّ. علاوة على ذلك، لم أرغب في إثارة الشفقة أو إثقال …المزيد

Auxiliary Bishop Emeritus Marian Eleganti criticizes on his blog Leo XIV’s July 31 audience with Patti Smith, 80 - a pro-abortion and pro-homosexual singer from Chicago: “The harmless encounter - which I imagine consisted mainly of an exchange of pleasantries, with hardly anything of great importance to the Church being discussed - raises questions for me.” His main argument concerning the 'decline of the Petrine office' is that the papal office has been overshadowed by the personalities of individual popes: Too much informality and media exposure. Bishop Eleganti criticizes spontaneous interviews, informal remarks, celebrity meetings, photo opportunities, travel, and highly publicized personal gestures. These can make the pope appear to be an international celebrity or a member of the establishment rather than a teacher of the faith. Private audiences send messages. Meetings and photo opportunities with people who publicly oppose Catholic teaching may be interpreted as approval or …المزيد
Clot shot murdered 82% of babies in the womb before 20 weeks. Clot shot was also made with aborted fetal cells. Last pope called taking the clot shot "an act of love". This pope fully supported the last guy in this. Sick. Sick. The church is infiltrated and sick beyond words. Jesus save us from this nightmare. Purify your Church.
Chapter XXI ~ Diversity of the Pains — Blasio Raised from the Dead by St. Bernardine — Venerable Prances of Pampeluna and the Pen of Pire — St. Corpreus and King Malachy. The celebrated Blasio Massei, who was raised from the dead by St. Bernardine of Sienna, saw that there was great diversity in the pains of Purgatory. The account of this miracle is given at length in the Acta Sanctorum (Appendix, May 20). A short time after the canonisation of St. Bernardine of Sienna, there died at Cascia, in the kingdom of Naples, a child aged eleven years, named Blasio Massei. His parents had inspired him with the same devotion which they them- selves had towards this new saint, and the latter was not slow to recompense it. The day after his death, when the body was being carried to the grave, Blasio awoke as from a profound slumber, and said that St. Bemardine had restored him to life, in order to relate the wonders which the saint had shown him in the other world. We can easily understand the …المزيد
"In Hell, Blasio saw indescribable horrors, and the divers tortures by which the proud, the avaricious, the impure, and other sinners are tormented. Amongst them he recognised several whom he had seen during life, and he even witnessed the arrival of two who had just died, Buccerelli and Frascha. The latter was damned for having kept ill-gotten goods in his possession. The son of Frascha, struck by this revelation as by a thunderbolt, and knowing well the truth of the statement, hastened to make complete restitution ; and not content with this act of justice, that he might not expose himself to share one day the sad lot of his father, he distributed the rest of his fortune to the poor and embraced the monastic life."
Bishop Fredrik Hansen of Oslo plans the first diocesan synod in Oslo before the 2030 jubilee of St. Olaf. “A diocesan synod is not a democratic assembly,” Bishop Hansen wrote on August 6 on Katolsk.no, the website of the Catholic Church in Norway. “As bishop, I am also obliged to exclude from the synod anything that contradicts or calls into question the doctrine of the Church,” he added. “It is not for us to decide on matters of faith and morals.” The synod will arrive at plans and documents that are “presented to me as bishop and brought to a decision by me.” Bishop Hansen indicated that participation in the assemblies would probably resemble “a considerably expanded pastoral council.” He compared his diocesan synod with the synods held by St Archbishop Charles Borromeo of Milan “in accordance with the provisions of the Council of Trent.” However, his working method “will resemble that of the Second Vatican Council,” he threatened. Bishop Hansen recently extended permission for the …المزيد
A clever but meaningless pronouncement. Pope Leo XIV would feel quite comfortable in offering similar assurances. The problem with Conciliarism is that the teachings of the Second Vatican Council have allowed the Modernist leaders to determine what "contradicts or calls into question the doctrine of the Church." They call it a "living" Magisterium.
Taybeh must not vanish into silence. Taybeh, the last fully Christian town in Palestine, is suffering months of attacks by Israeli settlers. On August 5, settlers entered the property of a Christian family belonging to the local parish, cut through the fence and brought a flock of sheep onto the family’s land. The incident follows reports of fires, damage to farmland and repeated incursions onto private property. Around 1,200 Christians remain in Taybeh, a West Bank town traditionally identified with the biblical Ephraim. Parish priest Bashar Fawadleh has appealed for international attention: “Do not forget Taybeh! Taybeh must not vanish into silence.”
Tajbeh, the last fully Christian town in Palestine, has been subjected to attacks and intimidation by Israeli settlers for months. Residents fear that the pressure will force more families to leave their homes and land. The village, located east of Ramallah in the West Bank, is identified with the biblical Ephraim. According to tradition, Jesus and his disciples found refuge there. Recently, there have been repeated incursions onto private properties and farmland. On August 5, settlers entered the property of a family belonging to the parish, destroyed the fence, and brought a flock of sheep onto the land. Such actions are systematic in nature and are intended to instill fear and force Palestinians to leave their land. There have also been instances of arson, destruction of fields, roadblocks, and restrictions on freedom of movement. “We feel forgotten; we feel alone,” he emphasizes, appealing to the international community for concrete protection of the civilian population and political …المزيد
Israel is silent as Moscow seeks answers about a dual citizen of Russia and Israel. Missing since landing at Ben Gurion Airport last wee. Israeli authorities have remained silent on the fate of Russian-Israeli historian Artyom Kirpichenok, days after his reported detention and despite Moscow seeking answers about his whereabouts. Kirpichenok, 51, is a dual Russian-Israeli citizen, journalist, and Middle East expert known for his writings on Zionism and criticism of Israel’s policies toward Iran and Palestine. He reportedly disappeared on August 2 shortly after landing at Ben Gurion Airport on a flight from Yerevan. Kirpichenok reportedly sent his family a brief message saying “arrived” at 10:41 am, but his phone and social media activity ceased shortly afterward. Reports citing Israeli police say he passed through passport control at Ben Gurion before disappearing. Colleagues said he had traveled to Israel for an academic conference and had a return ticket for August 8. International …المزيد
The Vatican's reasoning for the ban on lay preaching is "not entirely consistent," Bishop Peter Kohlgraf of Mainz told Katholisch.de on August 11. "The letter from the Prefect for Liturgy states that only the priest celebrating Mass may preach. But taken to its logical conclusion, that would mean a concelebrating priest or an assisting deacon shouldn't be allowed to preach either." Lay Preaching Is No Problem In the Diocese of Mainz, occasional lay preaching has become an established practice and Bishop Kohlgraf has no intention of changing that. In some parishes, "it is customary for laypeople to preach," he said. "If I hear about it, I won't take disciplinary action or impose canonical sanctions." "Denunciations" Are a Problem Bishop Kohlgraf is concerned that the directive from Rome could encourage "denunciations": "There are people who report liturgical violations straight to the bishop and write directly to me. That happened before too - individual people would complain to me - but …المزيد
"The letter from the Prefect for Liturgy states that only the priest celebrating Mass may preach. But taken to its logical conclusion, that would mean a concelebrating priest or an assisting deacon shouldn't be allowed to preach either." Even a blind squirrel will find a nut every once in a while. So the Prefect for Liturgy is careless to the point of being goofy. But what self-respecting Catholic, much less a bishop, can use this for an excuse?
Bishop Peter Kohlgraf of Mainz criticised the Vatican’s June 17 ruling upholding the ban on lay preaching at Mass as “not entirely coherent”. He noted that lay preaching has become common practice and said he would neither intervene nor impose canonical sanctions.
Today, Leo XIV has appointed eight new members to the Vatican’s Council for the Economy. It is responsible for supervising the Holy See’s financial and administrative structures. He confirmed Munich Cardinal Reinhard Marx as coordinator of the body. Furthermore, Leo XIV confirmed German law professor Charlotte Kreuter-Kirchhof as vice-coordinator. She participated in the German Synodal Way, personally advocating the involvement of the faithful in episcopal selection. She urged delegates that implementation could begin without waiting for Rome: “You don't have to wait for anything or anyone.” The new members include four cardinals: Cardinal Grzegorz Ryś, Archbishop of Kraków, Poland; Cardinal Ladislav Nemet, S.V.D., Archbishop of Belgrade, Serbia; Cardinal Jean-Paul Vesco, O.P., Archbishop of Algiers, Algeria; and Cardinal Roberto Repole, Archbishop of Turin and Bishop of Susa, Italy. Leo XIV also appointed four lay members: Denis Duverne, president of the Supervisory Board of the …المزيد
حضر الكاردينال ماتيو زوبي، أسقف بولونيا ورئيس مجلس الأساقفة الإيطاليين، يوم السبت، جنازة المغني والملحن الإيطالي فرانشيسكو غوتشيني التي أُقيمت في بافانا في جو خاص. وألقى كلمة، نُشرت على موقع Avvenire.it (8 أغسطس)، قام فيها عمليًا بتقديس هذا الشخص الذي كان يصف نفسه بأنه «لاأدري». وكان غوتشيني، البالغ من العمر 86 عامًا، قد وصف نفسه بأنه «لاأدري محتمل». وتذكر زوبي، الذي كان صديقًا له، أن المغني أخبره ذات مرة أنه يريد حضور الكاردينال جنازته. وخاطب الكاردينال زوبي غوتشيني مباشرةً، متخيلًا ما قد يراه الراحل الآن: «لا نعرف بالضبط… ما تراه: ملء ذلك النور الذي، في الواقع، كنت قد استشعرته بالفعل من هنا، والذي تمكنت من إلقاء نظرة خاطفة عليه في جمال الحياة المؤثر واللامتناهي». وصف الكاردينال زوبي شك غوتشيني اللاأدري بشكل إيجابي، باعتباره بحثًا صادقًا عن الحقيقة. وقال: «كان الشك طريقتك في مواجهة الأمور دون خداع، وبنزاهة. لم تتوقف أبدًا عن السؤال والاستماع». ثم قال للمغفور له: «اليوم ستجد الإجابة». «ستجد مكانًا خاصًا بك، وقصتك الخاصة، وكتبك، وأصدقاءك القدامى، وأخيرًا، اللانهاية». وأضاف الكاردينال: «…المزيد
The Peruvian naturalization file of Robert Prevost preserves a handwritten letter in which he expressed his desire to remain in Peru “for the rest of my life.” The documentation, held by Peru’s National Superintendency of Migration, records the process through which the American-born Prevost obtained Peruvian citizenship in 2015 after years of pastoral work in the country. According to TVPerú Noticias, Prevost submitted his application in 2015 and addressed a handwritten letter to then-President Ollanta Humala explaining his ties to Peru and formally requesting nationality. As part of the naturalization process, Prevost also underwent an examination on Peruvian history, geography and culture. Héctor Pérez, head of Migraciones’ General Archive, said the future pope achieved an exceptionally high result. The essential details of Prevost’s naturalization are confirmed by official Peruvian records. Supreme Resolution No. 157-2015-IN, dated August 17, 2015, states that Prevost applied for …المزيد
