Cardinal Víctor “Tucho” Fernández will receive Fr. Davide Pagliarani, the Superior General of the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X, at the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith next week. He announced this on the Substack.com account 'The Pillar' on 4 February. Just two days ago, the FSSPX published their plans to consecrate new bishops on July 1 without a papal mandate. Father Pagliarani said that this decision was made after he requested an audience with Pope Leo XIV in August 2025, and after he recently received a letter from the Vatican which did not respond to their requests in any way. Cardinal Fernández explained that the letter referred to by Fr Pagliarani was sent by the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith. It “merely responded negatively to the possibility of proceeding now with new episcopal ordinations.” “We have been exchanging letters in recent times. Next week I will meet with Fr. Pagliarani in the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith to try and find a fruitful …More
Remember, the royals are not angry over his crimes. But because he got caught. That's what this is all about. Getting caught for the same things they do.
The General Chapter of the Legionaries of Christ has elected Carlos Gutiérrez López, LC, as the Congregation’s new Director General for the six-year term 2026–2032. The order counts over 1,000 priests worldwide. Fr. Carlos Gutiérrez López, 51, is a native of Hermosillo, Mexico, and was ordained a priest in 2009. He has served in Chile, Italy, Colombia, Venezuela, and Mexico. The language surrounding his election reflects themes strongly associated with Pope Francis. The General Chapter entrusted him with continuing the Legionaries’ path of renewal, emphasizing transparency, care for persons, communion with the wider Church, and renewed outreach toward the “existential peripheries.” The election marks the conclusion of the service of Fr. John Connor, LC, who has served as Director General since 2020. The General Chapter will now continue with the election of the General Government and further discernment on the congregation’s future. Founded in 1941 by the sexual pervert Marcial …More
Brace yourself ! It's a Glorious Racket According to OOgle AI: Many Catholic priests and bishops in Germany receive a salary or, more accurately, compensation from the state (individual German states, or Länder), rather than solely from church collections. Salary Amount: The average salary for a priest in Germany is around €50,144 per year. High-ranking officials like cardinals can have salaries of approximately €16,000 a month (roughly $16,000-$17,000).
The Sacred Heart parish in Herne, in the Diocese of Essen in Germany, has announced an ecumenical “Harry Potter” service to be held inside the Catholic church on 28 February. According to the parish's promotional material, the gathering will use the entrance hall and the nave. The evening will begin with a 'magical prelude', followed by the service itself. The event is explicitly themed around the Harry Potter universe and invites “fans and Hogwarts newcomers” to enjoy references to candles, light and darkness, “hope taking shape”, butterbeer, Hogwarts house colours and the opening of the “Great Hall”. Attendees are encouraged to wear “magical attire”. Essen Diocese is headed by Bishop Josef Overbeck, who is a likely candidate for the position of President of the German Bishops’ Conference. #newsGpjivfspuu
@DrMariaIt appears that it is a matter of economics - Catholic priests and bishops in Germany receive a salary or, more accurately, compensation from the state (individual German states, or Länder), rather than solely from church collections. State Payments: The state directly pays the salaries of many bishops, high-ranking clergy, and some parish priests, often equivalent to the pay of civil servants. Salary Amount: The average salary for a priest in Germany is around €50,144 per year. High-ranking officials like cardinals can have salaries of approximately €16,000 a month (roughly $16,000-$17,000).
[Saint Alphonsus Maria de Liguori – XVII – XVIII Century AD: Marianella, Kingdom of Naples/Pagani, Kingdom of Naples; (aged 90); spiritual writer, composer, musician, artist, poet, lawyer, scholastic philosopher, and theologian, Founder, Bishop, Doctor of the Church] “13. In the country of Normandy a certain robber was beheaded, and his head was thrown into a trench; but afterwards it was heard crying: "Mary, give me confession." A priest went to him and heard his confession; and questioning him as to his practices of devotion, the robber answered that he had no other except that of fasting one day of the week in honor of the holy Virgin, and that for this our Lady had obtained for him the grace to be delivered from hell by that confession. 14. There were two young noblemen living in the city of Madrid who encouraged each other in their sinful life. One of them saw one night, in a dream, his companion seized by some Moors and carried to the shore of a stormy sea. They were about to do …More
"17. A devout servant of Mary always inculcated it upon her daughter that she should often recite the "Hail Mary," especially when she was in any danger. One day when this girl was resting after a ball, she was attacked by a demon, who in a visible form, bore her off with him. He had already seized her, but she began "Hail Mary," and the enemy disappeared.”
This week we learned that the Archdiocese of New York was being OPPOSED BY ITS OWN INSURANCE COMPANY because of its ongoing cover-up of the sexual abuse of minors. Later this week, Bishop Ronald Hicks of the diocese of Joliet will be installed as Archbishop of New York, replacing Timothy Dolan. Hicks is a protegee of Cardinal Blase Cupich, having acted as Vicar General of the Archdiocese of Chicago before being elevated to Bishop of Joliet. A recent column highlights the influence Cupich has had in U.S. bishop appointments. Several weeks ago, we exposed a huge scandal in the diocese of Joliet. Bishop Hicks’ diocesan Chancellor quietly left his post to be ‘married’ to another man and Hicks’ Vicar General actually attended the ‘wedding’. We explained to our readers why this was a serious scandal and why Bishop Hicks needed to fire his Vicar General. A quick poll on social media showed that 92% of respondents said Hicks needed to come clean and make a public statement regarding …
Una Voce International - the largest international association of lay Catholics associated with the Mass of the Roman rite - published a February 3 statement regarding the announced consecrations of bishops for the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X without a papal mandate. The statement was signed by Joseph Shaw (President, England), Monika Rheinschmitt (Vice President, Germany), and Andris Amolins (Secretary, Latvia). They write about the announcement: "Our ardent wish, shared by many Catholics of goodwill, is for the canonical regularisation of the FSSPX, which would enable its many good works to bear the greatest possible fruit. This announcement indicates that this outcome is a more distant prospect than it has seemed for many years." The group shares the FSSPX's goal of making the Church's ancient liturgy available as widely as possible. Their main claim: "We know many Catholics able to attend the Traditional Mass with all the necessary permissions from the Church’s hierarchy,…More
"The group shares the FSSPX's goal of making the Church's ancient liturgy available as wide as possible." WRONG! "The SSPX's main goal is the formation of HOLY PRIESTS. These priests are given to the Church for the sanctification of souls by employing the means that the Church has always used: 1- The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, specifically the 'Mass of all Time'. 2- The preaching of..."
The real chastisement has already happened. God has allowed His Church to be decimated and infiltrated by wicked men. When the time is right, he will intervene and the triumph of the Immaculate will occur.
This is the text of two letters written by Archbishop Lefebvre in 1988, just prior to the illicit consecrations. They show what was on his mind that that time - the salvation of souls and the good of the Church. Archbishop Lefebvre to his bishops-elect
GOD'S WILL BE DONE. --- Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre was a saintly man. The hierarchy of the SSPX would have been more prescient if they had followed His Excellency Archbishop Lefebvre as he left them with the full understanding of the exact state of Rome regarding its disastrous state of apostasy. However, they did not do so when they sidestepped to involve the SSPX in a compromised position by their 2012 Declarational Agreement with Rome. --- GOD'S WILL BE DONE.
A Moldovan man, 35, was arrested on February 3 in Vatican City after attempting to enter St. Peter’s Basilica carrying gas lighters and flammable materials. Authorities believe he was planning an arson attack. He has been linked to recent fires at churches in central Rome and to a previous arson attempt at a hospital in 2024.
Prophecies about the destruction of Rome are unfolding due to the Apostasy happening from the very top of the Church, as Our Lady warned about in the 3rd Secret of Fatima --
The recent release of emails and documents linked to Jeffrey Epstein by the U.S. Department of Justice includes speculation about the Vatican Bank IOR and Pope Benedict XVI’s resignation. In a February 21, 2013 email to economist Larry Summers, Epstein suggested in his distorted view that the most significant change in the Vatican was not Benedict XVI’s resignation, but a leadership shift at the IOR. He claimed the Vatican’s sovereign status exempted the bank from Italian and European Union transparency rules. The email referred to the removal of IOR president Ettore Gotti Tedeschi in May 2012 amid Italian investigations into alleged financial misconduct. Epstein wrote that 47 dossiers were found at Tedeschi’s home and that intercepted calls showed he feared for his safety due to his knowledge of Vatican financial matters. Epstein wrote that by late 2012, Tedeschi was cooperating with Italian authorities. Epstein also noted that German lawyer Ernst von Freyberg was appointed president …More
From memory- --- 1. Podesta emails revealed by wiki leaks discussed the "Catholic spring" which was basically that the neutering of the Catholic Church had already been accomplished? --- 2. Cardinal Pell was placed in charge of investigating the Vatican bank, and was falsely accused, he had to stand trial and found not guilty, and then his death was surrounded by unsolved anomalies? --- 3. Pope Benedict appointed a small group to investigate the "lavender lobby" in the Catholic Church who handed him a completed 300 page report which has gone missing as soon as Bergoglio entered the picture with his stage name Pope Francis ?
The Freemasonic revolution within the Church that I've been warning readers about for almost four decades ( see here for example) is now in full bloom. Heresies are being promulgated to prepare the world for the entrance of the Man of Sin ( see here), he who comes in his own name (John 5:43). The confusion deepens. See here. "Before Christ's second coming the Church must pass through a final trial that will shake the faith of many believers. The persecution that accompanies her pilgrimage on earth will unveil the "mystery of iniquity" in the form of a religious deception offering men an apparent solution to their problems at the price of apostasy from the truth. The supreme religious deception is that of the Antichrist, a pseudo-messianism by which man glorifies himself in place of God and of his Messiah come in the flesh. The Antichrist's deception already begins to take shape in the world every time the claim is made to realize within history that messianic hope which can only be …
