Leo XIV met Costa Rica’s president, gloriously veiled - or, as some might say, "divisively" so. Pope Leo XIV received Costa Rica’s Catholic President Laura Fernández Delgado in an audience on October 29. She presented Pope Leo XIV with a replica of Our Lady of the Angels, Costa Rica’s patroness. Two days earlier, on October 27, Cardinal Roche’s dicastery had warned that women wearing veils at Mass risk creating division and confusion within the Church. Costa Rica's right-wing president began her presidency with a public profession of faith. On May 9, 2026, one day after taking office, she attended Mass at the Basilica of Our Lady of the Angels in Cartago. #newsHlivqetqqc

Did Cardinal Parolin act on orders from above? Luigi Casalini of MessaInLatino.it believes the Vatican Secretariat of State was following orders when it refused the Summorum Pontificum pilgrimage permission to enter St. Peter’s Basilica in procession. He finds it hard to believe the decision was made without agreement at the highest levels. When interviewer Giovanni Zenone suggested Pope Leo XIV was involved, Casalini replied: “I don't know that.” Casalini also raised the possibility that mainstream Vatican journalists had received telephone calls telling them to keep the controversy quiet, noting their relative silence despite widespread coverage in the English-speaking world.
Luigi Casalini: No, guarda, io non voglio difendere Parolin, ma secondo me, e arriviamo al terzo livello, secondo me la Segreteria di Stato sono stati molto maleducati, ma secondo me hanno fatto quello che gli è stato ordinato. Terzo, io mi rifiuterei di crederlo, ma come analista in questo momento e non come tifoso, cioè non come partecipante e, tra virgolette, organizzatore del pellegrinaggio, sarei... sono abbastanza incredulo che non ci fosse una concordanza nella decisione da parte delle più alte cariche, cioè... Giovanni Zenone (@Fede & Cultura): Cioè del Papa, dai, diciamolo chiaro, da parte del Papa. Luigi Casalini: No, io non lo so questo, però una decisione che poi è data... cioè soprattutto il mondo anglosassone... perché quello che anche lì è strano, è bizzarro, che stranamente in Italia questa cosa è stata tirata fuori dal Messaggero, dalla Bussola, da Messa in Latino, ovviamente, e anche da altri siti. Però stranamente, adesso non voglio essere malizioso, che i vaticanisti …Hafa
Historic first: Leo XIV requests ballot for U.S. midterm elections. Pope Leo XIV has requested a mail-in ballot for the November 3 U.S. midterm elections, becoming the first pontiff to vote in an American election. According to the Chicago Sun-Times, election officials in Will County, Illinois, confirmed that the American-born pope requested his ballot on October 3. Born Robert Prevost in Chicago, Leo XIV retains his American citizenship and voting rights despite becoming the sovereign of Vatican City. As of October 29, officials had not received his completed ballot, meaning it remains unclear whether he will actually cast a vote. Recent popes have maintained the Holy See's diplomatic neutrality. #newsPcejtcrzug
Milan Archbishop Mario Delpini has issued new funeral guidelines. He reaffimed that funerals must be free, with only voluntary donations permitted. Funeral agencies cannot include Church fees in their price lists or dictate religious arrangements. Delpini also calls for limiting lengthy farewell speeches, preferably holding them after the liturgy. Catholic funerals cannot take place in private farewell rooms. While cremation is permitted, Delpini reiterates the Church’s prohibition on keeping ashes at home and proposes designated spaces for urns inside churches.
A historic verdict in Poland. For the first time, a Catholic bishop has been convicted for failing to report clerical homosexual abuse. Bishop Andrzej Jeż has announced that he will appeal the verdict. Today, October 29, a court in Tarnów convicted Bishop Jeż, 63, of failing to promptly report allegations of child homosexual abuse involving two priests in his diocese. It is the first conviction of a serving Catholic bishop in Poland for such an offense. The court sentenced Bishop Jeż to two years of restricted liberty, requiring him to surrender 25% of his monthly salary to a foundation supporting abused children. He must also pay 20,000 złoty into a victims' assistance fund. The case concerns allegations against two priests, Stanisław P. and Tomasz K. One priest was implicated in the abuse of at least 95 boys between 1987 and 2008. Church authorities had investigated allegations against Stanisław P. in the 2000s and dismissed him from the clergy in 2013. In July 2017, Poland introduced …Hafa
Cardinal Müller: FSSPX crossed a doctrinal “red line”. Cardinal Gerhard Müller condemned unauthorized episcopal consecrations by the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X (FSSPX) as crossing a red line “not only in discipline, but also in doctrine.” Speaking with Jan Bentz on October 21, Cardinal Müller referred the FSSPX to St. Robert Bellarmine and St. Thomas Aquinas. The Pope is the visible principle of Church unity, he insisted, adding: “The ordination of a bishop against the pope is a schism. This is no question.”
Müller: SSPX episcopal consecrations cross a doctrinal “red line” He says unauthorized episcopal consecrations by the Society of St. Pius X cross a red line not merely in Church discipline but also in doctrine. He characterizes consecrating bishops against the pope as schismatic and insists that the SSPX must recognize the authority of the real, reigning pope, Leo XIV. Interviewer: Jan C. Bentz, 21. October 2026. Source: youtube.com/watch?v=6LX_BKINPgI
The devious actions in Rome are fairly transparent. The Vatican appears to have recruited more moderate Conciliar leaders like Müller, Barron, Burke and other prelates to first establish their “traditional-bona fides” among faithful Catholics by making surprisingly traditional statements, and then, a few days later, they come out with a strong anti-traditional statements like this nonsensical attack of Muller’s on the SSPX. If someone like Cupich, Tobin, or Roach had made such a statement it would be uniformly ignored by faithful Catholics. But when a cleric who has won them over with early “traditional-sounding” messages they become far more convincing. Make no mistake about it, Satan is as clever as a fox and he is the one leading the spiritual-confused Conciliarists in Rome.
Müller wants to please Prevost, and is promoting unity in syncretism. Prevost urges Catholics to give up the Catholic faith and submit to his Pachamama institution for the sake of unity.
