On August 6, Pope Leo XIV appointed 15 new consultors to the Dicastery for Religious, headed by Prefect Sr Simona Brambilla. The new consultors comprise two bishops (Alfonso Vincenzo Amarante and Kevin Otieno Mwandha), five priests, including one abbot (Ignasi Fossas, Damián Astigueta, Maurizio Bevilacqua, Benjamin Earl and Flavien Mambueni), two religious brothers (Antoine Kazindu and Emili Turú), and six religious sisters (Chiara Lorenzato, Maria Nirmalini, María Rosaura González Casas, Mary Lembo, Patricia Murray and Maria do Disterro Rocha Santos). Leo XIV has again appointed liberal, synodal figures, illustrated by these four personnel choices. Less Uniformity in Liturgy, More Creativity Indian Sister Maria Nirmalini, A.C. was a member of the Synod on Synodality (2023) and hoped for “liturgical reform, particularly of the Mass with less emphasis on uniformity and more on creativity.” In the same VaticanNews.va interview she demanded “inclusion of women in all leadership/decision …વધારે
Feast day of St. Philomena - August 11th. ~ Feast day of The Assumption - August 15th; declared an infallible dogma by Pope Pius X11 in 1950 through 'Munificentissimus.Deus'. ~ (The most bountiful God.)
Sadly, most Catholics are now "Conciliar Catholics." And since Conciliarism is an ever-evolving religion its tenets are constantly being updated. But make no mistake, Conciliarism is Satanically driven and Satan's ultimate goal is to destroy the Catholic Church. Faithful Catholics know that will never happen, but the authentic Catholic Church will suffer greatly as Rome moves further away from the truth through Synodality. And while the role of the SSPX is still unclear to many, all should recognize that it is the only priestly organization celebrating the TLM that adheres exclusively to the authentic teachings that pre-dated Vatican II. The most revealing clue as to its legitimacy, however, is that the SSPX is the only priestly organization that the Conciliarists in Rome regularly attack and work to destroy. There are relatively few Catholics who assist at the SSPX Masses, but as Jesus told us, when He returns He expects to find very few who have not loss their faith.
Mexican Bishop Hops Left and Right Before the Altar: Bishop José Leopoldo González González, 71, of San Juan de los Lagos, Jalisco, Mexico, hopped and danced in liturgical vestments, including his mitre, during Emaús 2026. The diocesan gathering brought together more than 5,000 young Catholics on 23–24 May in San Miguel el Alto, Jalisco. González explained that a young man had told him the dance was simple—“one step to the right and another to the left” - and joked that he had “fallen into the trap.”
During Emaús 2026 in San Miguel el Alto, Bishop José Leopoldo González González drew attention for his energetic participation with young people during the activities and Mass.
Called By Name: Fr. Patrick Suh on Mobilizing Parishes for Priestly Vocations "If vocations depend just on me, we're never going to get any." Fr. Patrick Suh joins CatholicTV to share how the Archdiocese of Newark invited parishioners to actively call forth future priests. How do we cultivate a culture of vocations in our local parishes? Fr. Patrick Suh, Vocation Director for the Archdiocese of Newark, sits down with CatholicTV's Jimmy Reynolds to discuss the success of the Called By Name campaign. Fr. Suh shares the providential origins of the initiative—prompted by Cardinal Joseph Tobin—and explains how it launched on Good Shepherd Sunday. Rather than leaving vocation efforts solely to the diocesan office, the campaign empowered families, friends, and fellow parishioners to identify young men in their pews who possess the qualities of a good shepherd. With over 500 unique nominations submitted, Fr. Suh details the next steps: personal invitation letters from the Cardinal, St. Andrew's …વધારે
Cardinal Baldassarre Reina, Vicar General for the Diocese of Rome, refused permission for the Catholic funeral of Bruno Battisti D’Amario, a guitarist and senior figure in Italian freemasonry. D’Amario, who died on August 5 aged 88, was known for his collaboration with Ennio Morricone and played guitar on famous soundtracks including A Fistful of Dollars, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, and Once Upon a Time in the West. His funeral had initially been approved at Santa Maria in Montesanto, Rome’s “Church of the Artists.” After his death, however, the Grand Orient of Italy revealed that D’Amario had held significant roles within freemasonry. He had founded a Roman lodge, composed the organization’s official anthem, and held several senior positions. Church officials had allegedly been unaware of his Masonic involvement when approving the funeral. After the information emerged, the basilica’s rector, Archbishop Antonio Staglianò, referred the matter to Cardinal Reina. Following consultation …વધારે
This should not be news. It’s news because of the new normal in the Church. Everyone gets a funeral, everyone is saved. That’s not what Christ taught and died for.
Fr Marek Balawendar gives a reflection on how the Incarnation became the Cross at the Annunciation, though came instant by the communication of God’s message to Mary by Angel Gabriel. Not by power or force rather by humility and love The "Stable" (Wood) where the Magi saw the Baby Jesus points to the Wooden Cross at Calvary where Jesus was Crucified. The ’’FIAT’’ of Mary at Annunciation includes suffering which she did not know until revealed by Simeon’s prophecy and manifested at Calvary. The Annunciation is the fulfilment of the Cross At the Annunciation Mary gives Flesh to Jesus which in turn gives humanity Salvation on the Cross. The Cross helps us to say yes, to understand others, ourselves, etc The Cross and Annunciation teach us hope. The cross is not the end, after the cross comes Resurrection. Uniting our doubts, sufferings and worries with Christ, we begin to trust It is difficult to find Love without a Cross and one will not be able to carry a Cross without Love #stationofthecross …વધારે
An unusual controversy has erupted in the Church in Angola after an anonymous letter sent to the Apostolic Nunciature in Luanda called for the next bishop of Mbanza Kongo to be white, reports the Substack.com-account The Pillar (August 7). The authors argue that the historic diocese has not developed sufficiently under its three Angolan bishops, while insisting the request is not racially motivated. The Diocese of Mbanza Kongo has rejected the suggestion that the letter represents its faithful. Angolan Catholic commentator Paulo Viana believes the dispute may actually be about dissatisfaction with Bishop Vicente Carlos Kiaziku, whose health problems have kept him away for extended periods, and the battle over his eventual successor. Viana suggests the letter could be intended to derail the possible appointment of Bishop António Lungieki Bengui, auxiliary bishop of Luanda. The controversy is especially striking in Mbanza Kongo, the cradle of Christianity in Angola and home of Henrique of …વધારે

The cunning deceptions of the Magisterium and the decrees of Popes Francis and Leo XIV to degrade Jesus and Mary, to cause the collapse of the Church before welcoming the Beast. 1) John 8:44: You are of your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and he did not abide in the truth, because there is no truth in him; when he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies. 2) The heresy “God Wills All Religions”: This is Politeism, this is paganism. The statement that God wants the diversity of religions is FALSE and that the One Holy Catholic Apostolic Church is just one among many is an insult to the Redemption that Jesus carried out on the Cross for the salvation of all humanity, a reality that pope Francis obviously does not recognise and calls it God’s failure. a) John 14:6; Jesus said to him, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

On był mordercą od początku i nie trwał w prawdzie, bo nie ma w nim prawdy; kiedy mówi kłamstwo, mówi z własnej natury, bo jest kłamcą i ojcem kłamstwa. 2) Herezja „Bóg chce wszystkich religii”: To jest politeizm, to jest pogaństwo. Twierdzenie, że Bóg pragnie różnorodności religii, jest FAŁSZEM, a twierdzenie, że Jedyny, Święty, Katolicki i Apostolski Kościół jest tylko jednym spośród wielu, stanowi zniewagę wobec Odkupienia, którego Jezus dokonał na krzyżu dla zbawienia całej ludzkości – rzeczywistości, której papież Franciszek najwyraźniej nie uznaje i nazywa ją porażką Boga. a) J 14,6; Jezus rzekł do niego: „Ja jestem Drogą, Prawdą i Życiem.

Fr. Gerald Murray on Vatican's rejection of laypeople preaching the homily at Mass: "It's a good ruling...there's a sacred priesthood in the church, and the priesthood offers sacrifice and teaches the faithful."
The Vatican knows this is being done throughout the world. Yet no consequences. The document is nothing more than gaslighting - and this priest is smart enough to know it happens in his own Archdiocese.
James Martin SJ Wants the Church to Ordain [More] Homosexual Priests: Homosexual activist Fr James Martin SJ has called on Pope Leo XIV to remove the – largely unenforced – restrictions against "celibate homosexuals" to become priests. Fr Martin believes that "sexual orientation" alone should not stop a man from being ordained. He points to Pope Francis, who said there are already many "holy, healthy and celibate" homosexual priests. However, in 2005 Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger concluded that men with deep-seated homosexual temptations should not enter the seminary because they lack the emotional maturity needed for lifelong celibacy.
WHAT DOES CARDINAL BURKE SAY IS MOST NEEDED FOR MARRIAGES TO THRIVE? | SG News Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke has issued a powerful call for Catholics to courageously defend the sanctity of Holy Matrimony and the family, even when faced with ridicule, rejection, or cultural pressure. Preaching at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in La Crosse, Wisconsin, during the Feast of St. James the Greater, the cardinal urged the faithful to embrace what the Church has long described as "white martyrdom"—a life of faithful witness through sacrifice rather than bloodshed. Reflecting on the Christian vocation to holiness, Cardinal Burke emphasized that marriage is not merely a human institution but a sacred sacrament rooted in Christ's sacrificial love for His Church. Referencing the enduring teachings of St. John Paul II and the continuing discussions surrounding Amoris Laetitia, he encouraged Catholic families to remain steadfast in the Church's teaching on the permanence and dignity of marriage. …વધારે

The Prophetic Vision of Pope Pius X. In this video we share The Prophetic Vision of Pope Pius X. Saint Pius X can be considered a hero in the fight against modernism. Thus, his fight is relevant to our days since modernism is a remote version of progressivism. A complete description of progressivism can be found in the prophetic documents of Saint Pius X against modernism. Giuseppe Melchiorre Sarto, who became Pope Pius X on August 4, 1903 died on August 20, 1914. Pius X is known for vigorously opposing modernist interpretations of Catholic doctrine, promoting liturgical reforms and orthodox theology. He was beatified on February 17, 1952 by Pope Pius XII and canonised on May 29, 1954. During an audience for the general chapter of the Franciscan order in 1909, the Pontiff appeared to enter a trance. Those present remained motionless and silent. After a few moments, Pius opened his eyes, rose from his seat, and cried, "What I have seen is terrifying! Will I be the one, or will it be a …વધારે
