The Vatican’s Dicastery for Divine Worship has acknowledged receipt of a “hierarchical recourse” filed against the apparent refusal of Bishop Michael Martin of Charlotte, North Carolina, to respond to requests concerning liturgical matters. The Vatican letter, dated February 16 and signed by Fr. Pierre Paul, confirms that the case has been assigned protocol number 369/25 and will be examined according to the applicable procedures. However, in the Vatican, such procedural formalities often lead nowhere; even the acceptance of an appeal does not guarantee any intervention or substantive action. Bishop Martin has aggressively curtailed Catholic liturgical practices in the Diocese of Charlotte. #newsAhximseszf
On April 27, Bishop Emeritus Joseph Strickland of Tyler, Texas, commented on PillarsOfFaith.net regarding the scandalous reception of Mrs. Sarah Mullally at the Vatican. The woman bears the title and attire of the Anglican “Archbishop” of Canterbury. Monsignor Strickland managed not to mention Pope Leo XIV, even though he had received the lady as an equal “bishop.” Rather, Bishop Strickland merely reaffirmed the Catholic teaching that the priesthood is divinely instituted and that the Church has no authority to ordain women. He argued that public gestures that give the appearance of honoring someone without valid ordination in an office could confuse the faithful about the nature of the Catholic priesthood and ordination. In conclusion, he called on Catholics to respond with prayer, Eucharistic adoration, penance, and reparation for the Church. #newsTwjnhxknic

“Pope Francis was like a second father to me, and I still miss him deeply,” said his nurse, Massimiliano Strappetti, 56, in an interview with Corriere.it on April 19. Francis hated hospital stays and joked whenever he had to go to Gemelli Hospital: “You’ll see—the cardinals are preparing the conclave now.” “Every morning when he woke up, he would ask me, ‘Hello, who died today?’ That was just how he was,” Strappetti recalled. One day, Strappetti told Francis that he was divorced and living with another woman. The pope replied: “And what’s the problem?” He then asked: “Do they let you receive Communion? If not, tell me the names of those priests who refuse - I’ll go speak to them myself!” For Strappetti, Francis was a “surprising” pope. #newsAzcbcontal

I knew a protestant woman who went to Mass, took a host, and after eating part of it, gave the rest to her grandchild. It grieves me to know to what extent the Holy Catholic Church is being betrayed by her priests and prelates.
I have witnessed people taking the HOST and breaking IT into smaller pieces. What happened after that I do not know. Several times I had to interrupt distributing Holy Communion, and tell the person to consume the Host immediately, and not parade around the Church with IT. Yes, things are becoming worse each day.

He warns that such people compensate for their "inner weakness" by becoming overly bossy. This also happens in the Industrial workforce. With an inexperienced person placed into a position of power and authority, power quickly goes to his head and leadership skills are lost. A "How to Become a Good Supervisor" seminar focuses on transitioning from individual contributor to leader by mastering communication, conflict resolution, and performance management. Key topics include active listening, setting clear expectations, delivering constructive feedback, and building team trust. These seminars, often available via SkillPath, AMA, or online modules, emphasize practical tools to boost team morale and productivity. The guy who really wants the job is the guy who should never be promoted, it'll go to his head.
