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
Die Exkommunikation wird nicht gültig sein! Prevost ist selber exkommuniziert. Er wurde installiert durch Bergoglio und Parolin, nicht gültig, nicht rechtmäßig gewählt. Er gibt sich als "Papst" aus, um das Amt für den Synkretismus, die linke UN-Politik, die Synodalität und die Agenda 2030 zu missbrauchen. Prevost, der Mutter Erde-Islamist, zeigt ständig welches Geistes er ist!
Exzellenz Bischof Fellay: "Es besteht eine hohe Wahrscheinlichkeit der Exkommunikation (...), weil sie das öffentlich sagten. Aber wie auch immer: Gott kann Wunder tun. Das (die Exkommunikation) ist nicht das Ende. Unsere Historie zeigt: Gott will von uns, dass wir ein Zeichen des Widerspruchs sind (...) 'Zeichen des Widerspruchs' meint: das Kreuz".
Three individuals shared portions of their consecrated Hosts with their dogs during a Eucharist on October 4, 2025, at Good Shepherd Parish in Zürich, Switzerland. The sacrilege occurred during an animal blessing that had been combined with a Eucharist. The Diocese of Chur investigated the incided and concluded on April 17 that the individuals did not act with sacrilegious intent. Despite imposing no canonical penalties, the diocese described the incident as “highly regrettable.” #newsXhlejkrule
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.
I withdrew my upvote after deciding that the quotation gives many people an excuse to stop their efforts to stop abortion and pretend that God will do it all.
Anglican Dame Leads Pope in Prayer at the Vatican: Today, Sarah Mullally, who holds the title and costume of the Archbishop of Canterbury, led Pope Leo XIV in prayer in the Vatican today. They were together in the Urban VIII Chapel inside the Apostolic Palace. Mullally’s office claimed that Leo presided, but that they both said a prayer of thanks together.
"Archbishop" Sarah Mullally today led Pope Leo XIV in public prayer in the Vatican.
@DrMaria "While Pope Leo says what he has in common with her " --- And it is what he has in common with her scandalizes, terrifies and raises suspicions of heresy.
“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
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.
This bearded transgender man is a lecturer at Oxford University. The University of Oxford is consistently ranked the #1 university in the world. This is who is ‘educating’ the next generation of leaders.
Meeting for the first time with Anglican Dame Sarah Mullally, who holds the title Archbishop of Canterbury, Leo XIV encourages Catholics and Anglicans to proclaim Christ together. They prayed together in the Urban VIII Chapel in the Apostolic Palace. Leo XIV spoke about a fake archbishop who was an Anglican layman, and a pope who was far from saintly. “When archbishop Michael Ramsey and Saint Pope Paul VI announced the first theological dialogue between Anglicans and Catholics [in 1966], they spoke of seeking the ‘restoration of complete communion in faith and sacramental life’. Certainly this ecumenical journey has been complex. While much progress has been made on some historically divisive issues, new problems have arisen in recent decades, rendering the pathway to full communion more difficult to discern. I know that the Anglican Communion is also facing many of these same questions at this time. Nevertheless, we must not allow these continuing challenges to prevent us from using …მეტი
Political Violence Is Reprehensible. That Doesn’t Make Trump Less Depraved. April 27, 2026 nytimes.com/…ion/white-house-correspondents-dinne… Credit... Cole Tomas Allen, who was arrested during an attempt to storm the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner on Saturday, may be America’s first normie liberal terrorist. The right, naturally, sees Allen as part of a pattern, lumping him in with figures like Thomas Matthew Crooks, who fired on Donald Trump in 2024, grazing his ear; Ryan Wesley Routh, who carried a semiautomatic rifle to one of Trump’s golf courses a few months later; or Tyler Robinson, charged in the killing of Charlie Kirk last year. But all those men had weird or heterogenous politics. Crooks was a nihilistic Republican misfit. Routh had a history of violence and a delusional fixation on Ukraine, where he reportedly tried to join the war effort. Robinson seems to have cooked his brain in online fetish subcultures. But Allen, who on Monday was charged with …მეტი
First Large-Scale Art Installation at Freiburg Cathedral: The Cathedral of Freiburg, Germany, is currently hosting a large-scale contemporary art installation. Beginning in the choir in front of the Marian High Altar, a female artist is creating a thread-based installation that extends through the church interior and will continue to grow over the four weeks leading up to Pentecost. The project budget is approximately €43,000.
Im Freiburger Münster entsteht erstmals eine großformatige zeitgenössische Kunstinstallation aus Fadengewebe von Elke Maier, die sich bis Pfingsten vom Chorraum durch den gesamten Kirchenraum ausbreitet; das Projektbudget beträgt rund 43.000 Euro.
**The Aleteia article is spot-on and a helpful guide.** Your quoted text about the **green cover** accurately describes it: it's the 1997 Latin *editio typica* (typical edition), which became the official reference text with the definitive English translation and minor refinements from the earlier 1992/1994 French-based version (often tan cover). ### Key Context on Editions by Cover Color - **Tan**: Early 1990s provisional English translation (French original). Good historically, but superseded. - **Green**: 1997 official Latin-based Second Edition. This was long considered *the* standard authoritative version. Many people (including traditional-leaning Catholics) still prefer it for its "classic" status and pre-2018 wording on certain topics. - **Blue** (and some newer hardcovers/white editions): Incorporates the 2018 change to paragraph 2267 on the death penalty (now called "inadmissible" rather than allowing for rare cases). This is the most current official text. ### Thoughts on Your …მეტი
