Yesterday, the Vatican published the program for the Consistory of June 26–27, thus providing a picture of the themes, personalities, and processes that Leo XIV wants for the Church. The scheduling information had already been leaked on June 17. Francis' Personnel Remains The Vatican has entrusted the four principal sessions to Cardinals Grzegorz Ryś (Poland), Víctor Manuel Fernández (Curia), Stephen Brislin (South Africa), and Mario Grech (Curia). All four are prominent figures associated with Francis' "project". Cardinals Fernández and Grech are homosexual activists. Francis' Synodal Procedures Remain MessaInLatino immediately noted that the structure of the meeting is unmistakably similar to the synods of Francis: small groups, listening sessions, synthesis reports, and strictly timed interventions. Two of the four sessions are organized around Leo XIV's encyclical Magnifica humanitas. This means discussions about peace, reconciliation, social fragmentation, technology, and power. …Suli
Sinking Titanic Back at the Vatican: "We are human beings, not techno-robots," Leo XIV told the children of the Vatican summer camp today, encouraging them to limit screen time, pray, cultivate real friendships, and avoid becoming dependent on technology. The scene featured the Pope addressing hundreds of children beneath a giant inflatable sinking Titanic. The plastic 'bouncy castle' in the shape of the Titanic has been in use for several years.

Using a tragedy to entertain children, I find that immoral, imagine making a slide with the 2 gutted twin towers of the world trade center or a ride representing the atomic bombs of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

When you research nexiqa.com, which identifies itself as the “most critical AI,” presumably because it simply prioritizes information differently than mainstream AIs, Google labels it as “controversial.” It claims to have spread medical misinformation, deny the existence of viruses, and be vaccine-skeptical. This reminded me that such classifications have been made for centuries whenever someone makes a seemingly “outrageous” observation. The article published on Sunday on tkp.at began with this introduction: When one AI labels another as “unreliable.”Source. In the world of artificial intelligence, we could really use some real friends. Let’s play around a bit with this machine-generated pseudo-intelligence. I’m not highlighting the AI’s response with a citation color, since the source of this knowledge is a database. Question: Who defines disinformation?

Running Gloria.tv is not an easy task. Neither is reading it, contributing to it, discussing on it, accepting other users, or donating to keep it alive. Yet together we have built the only Catholic social media platform. It serves the Faith. It serves its users. And increasingly, it serves freedom. Gloria.tv is financed entirely by donations. Almost all of them are small; many are very small. They are given for God's sake. There are no tax deductions. There are no foundations. There are no wealthy sponsors with agendas. There is only the support of ordinary people, many of them retired, who believe that Gloria.tv should exist. Every summer brings the same challenge. Donations decline sharply, while the costs of operating Gloria.tv remain the same. That is why your donation is greatly appreciated - or rather, needed. If you can help, please donate.

The Church has “frequently wounded the LGBT community through judgmentalism and exclusion,” Washington Cardinal Robert McElroy claimed in a June 20 homily at the homosexual conference Outreach, held at the Jesuits’ Georgetown University. He pointed to "two developments during the pontificate of Leo XIV". The first was a remark Leo XIV made during his trip to Africa in April, when he said that “the unity or division in the church should not revolve around sexual matters.” Cardinal McElroy commented: “Too often both in magisterial statements and on the popular level, sexual sins have been condemned with an ardor that effectively places them in the eyes of many believers as the core moral obligation of Christians.” Leo XIV instead pointed “to the comparative importance of economic justice, war and peace, immigration and racism as key elements of the Christian moral life.” The second development cited by McElroy was the publication of the report of synod's Study Group 9 in May and …Suli
"[T]he unity or division in the church should not revolve around sexual matters.” . I agree with this completely, however it is the fruitcake community who insist upon showcasing their respective highly disordered natures. They are the source and cause of the division.
Louie Verrecchio, June 17, 2026 Posts discussing the Thesis (N.B. Cassiciacum), meaning those that point to its deficiencies, always elicit an unusually large response from readers. My most recent one is no exception. One of the respondents is a dear priest friend whose opinions I genuinely value. Rather than reply to his comments in private, the way they were offered, I decided (and he approved) to make a post of our exchange for the benefit (God willing) of all concerned. Initially, it seemed that the points he briefly raised could be addressed in an equally brief manner. I should have known better. The ideas expressed in the Thesis simply do not lend themselves to concise answers as each one invites even more commentary. Below, therefore, is a limited attempt to speak to my friend’s comments. I’ll return to this exercise in a future post soon. In any case, I hope readers will find this effort worthwhile. My friend began his message: Recently you wrote, “the Church possesses within …Suli

Faithful Family Leaves Eucharist during Folk Dance: Yesterday, Bree Solstad shared a video on social media showing a man performing what appears to be an Irish or Scottish folk dance in front of the altar during the Eucharistic liturgy. During the dance, one family can be seen genuflecting and leaving the church. According to Solstad, the video was recorded on June 21, though she does not disclose the name of the parish. Solstad is a former pornography producer who announced in 2024 that she had left the adult industry and converted to the Church.
Bree Solstad on X: "This happened during the Mass yesterday. Note the one family that bent the knee to Christ and got the heck out of there. "
Mon Jun 22, 2026 - 2:51 pm EDTMon Jun 22, 2026 - 4:47 pm EDT (LifeSiteNews) — The Islamic Community Center of Illinois (ICCI) is raising money to purchase the former Our Lady of Victory Church from the Archdiocese of Chicago. The Muslim group’s plans to purchase the former church, if successful, would take on added significance and darkly ironic symbolism, given the former church’s name. Our Lady of Victory is a title that comes from the Battle of Lepanto, when Catholic forces defeated the Islamic Ottoman Empire through the power of the Holy Rosary. The Islamic community center, which is already located inside a former church, plans on purchasing Our Lady of Victory to set up a high school. The ICCI anticipates the opening of the “the first Islamic High School on the North Side of Chicago” as “a long-awaited milestone for our community,” it stated on its fundraising page. Our Lady of Victory, which was founded in 1906, held its last Mass and was shuttered in 2021 under Cardinal …
Vatican Case Against SilereNonPossum Closed: The case against SilereNonPossum.com has reportedly ended, with the Vatican courts ruling they lacked jurisdiction. The complaint was filed by politician and businessman Angelo Chiorazzo over a 2023 Facebook post that described him as having “more criminal proceedings than hairs on his head.” The Vatican courts dismissed the case on jurisdictional grounds, without ruling on the defamation claim itself.
Louie Verrecchio, June 9, 2026 It is the aim of the Unam Sanctam organisation to work for the convocation of an Imperfect General Council to discuss this matter and to consider how the present crisis that affects the head of the Church might be resolved. As of this writing, 12 bishops, 53 priests, and 84 religious have registered their approval of the effort. At present, Bishop Sanborn has taken a hardline stance against the Unam Sanctam initiative, saying that it “will go down in flames as a total absurdity.” This is coming from someone who insists that a man who is determined to propagate “a dogma-less humanism which is in total opposition to the Catholic religion” – total opposition! – somehow enjoys material possession of the Church’s highest office. From its inception, Bishop Roy has repeatedly insisted that the first order of business for Unam Sanctam is not the immediate convocation of an Imperfect Council, but rather for all bishops (and others of note) who recognize that …Suli
One message for Muslims, another for Catholics: While Pope Leo XIV described the Great Mosque of Algiers in April as "a divine, sacred space" where "God is present", Cardinal George Jacob Koovakad, Prefect of the Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue, told AdVaticanum.com on June 22 that "Catholics should understand papal gestures in non-Christian spaces as symbolic acts of encounter and dialogue" and "not as approval of all religious beliefs equally."
After Leo XIV told moslems that mosques are "sacred space", Cardinal Koovad says that "Catholics should understand papal gestures in non-Christian spaces (Mosques) as symbolic acts of encounter and dialogue, not as a denial of the uniqueness of Christ or as approval of all religious beliefs equally."
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 7,6.12-14. Jesus said to his disciples: "Do not give what is holy to dogs, or throw your pearls before swine, lest they trample them underfoot, and turn and tear you to pieces. Do to others whatever you would have them do to you. This is the law and the prophets." "Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the road broad that leads to destruction, and those who enter through it are many. How narrow the gate and constricted the road that leads to life. And those who find it are few." angelyelina
