"One does not care for life by giving death," Father François Yambressinga, parish priest of La Madeleine in Châteaudun, said during his July 5 homily, before the French National Assembly's final vote on legalizing euthanasia tomorrow. He urged the faithful to "pray for life" and to "pray for parliamentarians so that they do not do just anything." Among the congregation was Philippe Vigier, the bill's general rapporteur. He is also the mayor of Châteaudun and a member of the National Assembly for Les Démocrates. Vigier attended the Mass because it was part of the town's annual Foire aux Laines medieval festival. Civic officials appear in costume. He sat in the front row dressed as the fifteenth-century military commander Jean de Dunois. Afterward, Vigier told L'Écho Républicain that he felt personally targeted and "deeply hurt" by the homily. "The priest appealed to the congregation while I had no opportunity to respond. That is unacceptable," he said. According to witnesses cited by …Lebih
Uskup Eichstätt, Jerman, yang baru saja dilantik, Christian Würtz, memperkirakan akan ada perdebatan lebih lanjut mengenai selibat imam, demikian ia sampaikan kepada Br.de pada 12 Juli. Pada hari Selasa, Paus Leo XIV menunjuknya dari jabatan uskup pembantu Freiburg menjadi uskup keuskupan Eichstätt. Selama "Jalan Sinodal" Jerman pada tahun 2022, ia memberikan suara mendukung "berkat" bagi pasangan sesama jenis dan "penahbisan" pendeta perempuan. Ketika ditanya mengenai pendahulunya, Monsinyur Gregor Maria Hanke, yang memberikan suara menentang dokumen-dokumen "Jalan Sinodal" tersebut, Uskup Würtz mengatakan: "Saya pikir terlalu berlebihan untuk menyimpulkan dari hal itu bahwa terdapat perbedaan mendasar antara dia dan saya." Ia menggambarkan perbedaan keyakinan tersebut sebagai “perselisihan antar-faksi.” Sebaliknya, katanya, fokus seharusnya ditujukan pada “apa yang mempersatukan kita”: “Itu juga merupakan aspek penting dari sinodalitas—mendengarkan satu sama lain, berjalan bersama, …Lebih
Swiss Pop Singer Films Lesbian Video in Historic Church: A 22-year-old Swiss pop singer filmed a music video with her girlfriend inside St. Emmeram Church in Regensburg, Germany. The video was intended to promote her song 'You Believe in Jesus, I Believe in Pussy', which celebrates her lesbian relationship. According to the parish, no filming permit had been granted. The matter has been referred to lawyers, and the video has since been removed from the internet.
„Ich bin aus allen Wolken gefallen, als ich das Video am Freitag gesehen habe“, sagte Roman Gerl, Pfarrer von Sankt Emmeram in Regensburg, am Montag. Es habe keine Dreherlaubnis gegeben, und für ein solches Projekt hätte er auch nie eine erteilt."

A decline in religious vocations has prompted the Jesuits in the United States and Canada to restructure the way they train future members of the pro-homosexual order. The Jesuit Conference of Canada and the United States has announced that it will reduce the number of its novitiates from five to two by 2028. This decision was communicated in a letter dated 9 July and signed by the superiors of the conference's five provinces. Under the new arrangement, one novitiate will be located in Detroit, Michigan, serving the USA Midwest, USA East and Canada provinces, while the second will remain in Culver City, California, serving the USA West and USA Central and Southern provinces. Each facility is expected to accommodate up to 30 novices. "Running five novitiates takes an awful lot of high-quality Jesuit personnel," Fr. Joseph Daoust, SJ, superior of the Detroit Jesuit community, told DetroitCatholic.com on July 10. "Each novitiate requires three to four experienced Jesuits dedicated to …Lebih

The corruption of the best - is the worst! May the great gifts given to the Church by St. Ignatius of Loyola be planted in Catholic souls once again - and come up and bear much fruit once again! St. Ignatius of Loyola, pray for us!

The Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X is formally challenging the Vatican decree issued on 2 July by the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith that excommunicated its six bishops. On 11 July, it filed the required preliminary appeal under canon law. According to the Society, this filing temporarily suspends the enforcement of the decree while the appeal process is underway. Communiqué of 13 July The Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X announces that, in response to the decree issued on 2 July 2026 by the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, it submitted on 11 July a preliminary recourse to the same Dicastery, in accordance with canons 1734 and following of the Code of Canon Law. This request, which constitutes the mandatory preliminary step before the possible introduction of a hierarchical recourse, has the effect of suspending the execution of the decree, in accordance with canon 1353 of the Code of Canon Law. By this recourse, the Society intends to exercise the right which …Lebih
The outcome of the purported excommunication of the six bishops today will be far different from the outcome of the 1988 excommunications. In 1988, there was no visible reason for Catholics to doubt Pope John Paul II’s sincerity as a faithful Catholic. In the minds of most of the laity at the time, he at least appeared to be faithfully following the authentic teachings of the Church, at the same time. The SSPX was completely unknown to the world and was easily labeled as a breakaway religion. Yet, they survived and grew unimaginably. That is not the case today, as many Novus Ordo Catholics, whether they follow them or not, recognize that the SSPX strictly adheres to the authentic teachings of the Catholic Church, and that it is the leaders in Rome who are following the teachings of Vatican II. I would be greatly surprised not to learn that Rome is looking (praying?) for a lifeline at this time.
Traditionis Custodes (2021) deepened wounds and, contrary to what Pope Francis intended, contributed to growing interest in the Roman rite, Archbishop Emeritus Héctor Aguer, 83, of La Plata, Argentina, wrote in a July 13 statement. He notes that the Roman rite is especially popular among the young and contributes to “a good portion of conversions.” “The transmission of the faith,” he adds, “is no longer passed, to a significant degree, from parents to children but from young people to young people.” Monsignor Aguer says that “persecution or the extreme measures of progressivism” will not stop this growing movement. It goes “far beyond mere fashion” - whereas the fashion over the past sixty years has been to turn the Novus Ordo into an anything-goes vehicle of liturgical devastation. He writes that the four Eucharistic Prayers of the Novus Ordo have effectively been displaced by “Eucharistic Prayer Zero” - whatever happens to occur to the celebrant at the moment. In Argentina, the proportion …Lebih
Archbishop Aguer, Argentina, on the Traditional Mass: “Traditionis Custodes, issued five years ago, far from healing the wounds, only deepened them. And contrary to what its promoter sought, it contributed to a growing interest in Tradition and Orthodoxy, especially among young people. Today, a good portion of conversions occur among those who prefer the ancient rite (of the Mass). And the transmission of the faith, to a great extent, is no longer passed from parents to children, but from young people to young people”

The newly appointed Bishop Christian Würtz of Eichstätt, Germany, expects further debate over priestly celibacy, he told Br.de on July 12. On Tuesday, Pope Leo XIV appointed him from auxiliary bishop of Freiburg to the diocesan bishop of Eichstätt. During Germany's Synodal Way in 2022, he voted in favour of "blessings" for homosexual concubines and the "ordination" of women-clergy. When asked about his predecessor, Msgr. Gregor Maria Hanke, who voted against those Synodal Way documents, Bishop Würtz said: "I think it goes too far to conclude from that that there are fundamental differences between him and me." He described the different beliefs as "factional disputes." Instead, he said, the focus should be on "what unites us": "That is also an important aspect of synodality - listening to one another, walking together, and learning from one another." When it came to the topic of priestly celibacy, Bishop Würtz said: "This will certainly be a question that continues to occupy us in the …Lebih
Kelompok aktivis homoseksual Madrid, Crismhom, baru-baru ini mempublikasikan foto-foto di media sosial terkait kehadiran mereka dalam pertemuan Leo XIV dengan “masyarakat sipil” selama kunjungannya ke Spanyol. Pada 7 Juni, kelompok tersebut menjadi organisasi LGBT pertama yang secara resmi diundang ke acara kepausan di Spanyol. Undangan tersebut datang dari Kardinal José Cobo dari Madrid yang mendukung hak-hak LGBT. Berbicara kepada Artículo14.es, presiden Crismhom Ramón Legaspi Yrimia mengatakan bahwa undangan tersebut menunjukkan "bahwa Gereja yang beragam itu ada dan memiliki suara" serta bahwa "kami, sebagai kaum LGBTI, adalah bagian dari Gereja, bukan sesuatu yang asing baginya." Pada hari yang sama, para anggota Crismhom menghadiri Misa umum Paus di Madrid, di mana mereka menyerukan pengakuan terhadap para aktivis homoseksual Katolik “sebagai umat Kristiani kelas satu” dan menuntut akses ke sakramen pernikahan (!) “tanpa pembedaan.” Terjemahan AI
Madrid's homosexual activist group Crismhom published recently photos on social media from its attendance at Leo XIV's meeting with "civil society" during his visit to Spain. On June 7, the group became the first homosexual organization officially invited to a papal event in Spain. The invitation came from pro-homosexual Cardinal José Cobo of Madrid. Speaking to Artículo14.es, Crismhom president Ramón Legaspi Yrimia said the invitation showed "that the diverse Church exists and has a voice" and that "we, as LGBTI people, are part of the Church, not something foreign to it." Later that day, Crismhom members attended the Pope's public Eucharist in Madrid, where they called for recognition of Catholic homosexual activists "as first-class Christians" and demanded access to the sacrament of marriage (!) "without distinction." #newsGpodwlxkei
Matthew 7:16-20 New Catholic Bible 16 By their fruits you will know them. Does one pick grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 In the same way, every good tree bears good fruit, but a rotten tree produces bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus, by their fruits you will know them.
French dioceses face a worsening vocation crisis, despite claims of improvement in seminary recruitment, Laurent Dastros writes on July 9 on Substack.com. Dastros notes that, as of 2026, three French dioceses - Aire-et-Dax, Le Puy-en-Velay, and Le Havre - have gone between 12 and 14 years without a diocesan priestly ordination. Carcassonne et Narbonne ended a 19-year gap in 2025 with the ordination of a 51-year-old candidate. Annecy and Rodez could join this list next year if they continue without new ordinations. Longer-Term Picture Dastros calculates that between 2011 and 2026, only three dioceses recorded a single diocesan priestly ordination: Carcassonne et Narbonne, Rodez et Vabres, and Pamiers, Couserans et Mirepoix. Based on the assumption that priests remain in active ministry for approximately 50 years, he estimates that, if current trends continue, each of these dioceses could eventually have only about three native diocesan priests. He further identifies seven dioceses that …Lebih
Keuskupan-keuskupan di Prancis menghadapi krisis panggilan imamat yang semakin parah, meskipun ada klaim bahwa perekrutan di seminari telah membaik, tulis Laurent Dastros pada 9 Juli di Substack.com. Dastros mencatat bahwa, hingga tahun 2026, tiga keuskupan di Prancis—Aire-et-Dax, Le Puy-en-Velay, dan Le Havre—telah melewati rentang waktu antara 12 hingga 14 tahun tanpa upacara penahbisan imam keuskupan. Carcassonne et Narbonne mengakhiri jeda selama 19 tahun pada tahun 2025 dengan penahbisan seorang calon berusia 51 tahun. Annecy dan Rodez berpotensi masuk dalam daftar ini tahun depan jika mereka terus tidak mengadakan penahbisan baru. Gambaran Jangka Panjang Dastros menghitung bahwa antara tahun 2011 dan 2026, hanya tiga keuskupan yang mencatat satu kali penahbisan imam keuskupan: Carcassonne et Narbonne, Rodez et Vabres, serta Pamiers, Couserans et Mirepoix. Berdasarkan asumsi bahwa para imam tetap aktif dalam pelayanan selama sekitar 50 tahun, ia memperkirakan bahwa, jika tren saat …Lebih
