For Bishop Schneider, any acceptance of the Second Vatican Council as a whole is a compromises the integrity of the Faith : “These are two key points that the FSSPX cannot accept, because they would compromise the integrity of the faith.”
Humanly speaking, Bishop Schneider doesn't see Leo XIV reversing Francis' course. The celebration of the Pontifical Mass at the end of October in the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore - instead of St. Peter’s Basilica - can be described as a “consolation prize,” Bishop Athanasius Schneider told Gloria.tv (video below). It is “sad,” he said, that these Catholics are not allowed to celebrate Mass in St. Peter’s. At the same time, Santa Maria Maggiore is the most important Marian church in Christendom. Both Pius V - who codified the traditional Mass for all time - and Francis - who restricted it - are buried there. Bishop Schneider intends to pray with the faithful for liturgical peace and for the traditional Mass to be celebrated again without restrictions. Asked whether Leo XIV might reverse Francis’ course, Schneider replied: “Humanly speaking, I don’t think so. But there is still God.” The pilgrimage will pray for Leo XIV, asking God to grant him many graces. Schneider calls the suppression …Ētahi atu
I have quite a few people I can name. But they will find out that there is no getting away from the evil deeds they have done and still plotting and planning to do.
Leo XIV “largely continues the post-conciliar revolution,” Edward Pentin said October 3 at the Catholic Identity Conference in Pittsburgh. “Pope Leo… is very much a continuity figure, continuing the post-conciliar course mapped out by Pope Francis,” Pentin said. While Leo has “changed the tone for the better,” his improvements remain “largely symbolic and small scale.” Pentin said he has “often heard in recent months in Rome” that many around Leo “helped him get elected precisely so he might continue the revolution.” On Leo XIV’s emphasis on unity, Pentin said the pontificate has avoided many “neuralgic issues” by “essentially not talking about them.” He added that “what is unacceptable among the Church’s leadership is fidelity to the Church’s doctrine and tradition”. Pentin said some call Leo XIV’s priority a “false peace and false unity,” and cited two anonymous Roman priests warning against unity through silence about error.

Monsignor Gilles Wach, founder and prior general of the traditionalist Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest (ICRSP), has been an honorary member of the Rotary Club Firenze Valdisieve for years. Medias-Presse.info highlights Rotary publications from both 2014 and 2024 describing Monsignor Wach as an honorary member, including on occasions when the club was received at the ICRSP seminary in Gricigliano. In 1950, the Holy Office issued a decision, approved by Pope Pius XII, forbidding Catholic clergy from joining Rotary Clubs or attending their meetings. Catholic authorities at the time cited concerns including religious indifferentism and Masonic or anticlerical influences. Medias-Presse.info asks: how does Monsignor Wach reconcile his Rotary affiliation with the tradition his Institute professes to uphold?
Diabolical disorientation. Saint Lucia of Fatima says it: Diabolical disorientation. Saint Matthew 24:24 says it: ...insomuch as to deceive (if possible) even the elect.
Bishop Corrado Sanguineti of Pavia is the frontrunner to become the next Archpriest of St Peter’s Basilica - succeeding Cardinal Mauro Gambetti. Writing for IlGiornale.it, Nico Spuntoni says Bishop Sanguineti is now in “pole position” for the post following Gambetti’s departure. Other names floated in recent weeks include former papal master of ceremonies Archbishop Guido Marini, Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin, and Cardinal Rolandas Makrickas, Archpriest of the Basilica of St Mary Major. Leo XIV knew Sanguineti before his election to the papacy through Pavia, home to the tomb of St Augustine. The two celebrated a Eucharist together there in February 2024. Sanguineti was also received by Leo XIV in a private audience at the Vatican in early September.

Advocate General Laila Medina at the European Court of Justice has issued an opinion in a Belgian case that could have wider implications across the EU for how churches handle requests to erase baptismal records under the GDPR. She concluded that everyone has “in principle, the right to have his or her personal data erased from the baptismal register where the controller fails to demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject.”
Argentine bishop, a Synod Father, punished after canonical judicial process over allegations of abuse. Auxiliary Bishop Ricardo Seirutti, 70, of Córdoba, Argentina, has been punished by the Church following a canonical judicial process concerning complaints from two adults over conduct officially described as “improper to his episcopal ministry.” Monsignor Seirutti also served as vicar general of the Archdiocese of Córdoba. Pope Francis appointed him auxiliary bishop in 2015. In 2018, he participated as a voting Synod Father in the Synod of Bishops on Young People. He represented the Argentine episcopate. According to the Archdiocese of Córdoba, complaints from two adults led the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith to order a canonical judicial process before the Interdiocesan Tribunal of Buenos Aires. The proceedings concluded in recent weeks with sanctions against Bishop Seirutti. He has been deprived of his offices as auxiliary bishop and vicar general. For five years, he is …Ētahi atu
St. Catherine of Siena and the Reverence Due to Priests In this inspiring reflection, we explore the powerful messages God gave to Saint Catherine of Siena—a Doctor of the Church and one of the greatest mystics in Catholic history. Through her divine revelations, God reminded the faithful never to judge, criticize, or scorn His priests, no matter their human weaknesses. Saint Catherine’s writings in The Dialogue reveal a profound truth: the dignity of the priesthood comes not from the man himself, but from the sacred office he holds in Christ’s name. This video uncovers her heavenly conversations, where God speaks with tenderness yet firmness about the sacredness of His chosen servants, calling us to prayer, humility, and reverence for the priestly ministry. Join us as we reflect on Saint Catherine’s timeless message—a call to pray for priests, to trust in God’s justice, and to love His Church with purity of heart. @Boanerges Boanerges I am leaving a video or the dialogue of Saint …Ētahi atu
The part of the faithful, God tells St. Catherine, is to weep over the sins of clergy who do not follow God’s will, and to call upon His mercy for them.
At the same time, He laments the many sins of faithless clergy, including promiscuity, lying with prostitutes, selling graces, usury, gluttony, avarice toward the poor, vanity in seeking high offices, greed for worldly riches, and, as He tells St. Catherine, many more sins far worse than what He describes. He tells her how abominable these sins are in His sight, and how deeply these ministers offend Him. Yet He makes it clear to St. Catherine that His people must give reverence to His priests no matter how sinful the priests may be, and leave the judgment to God
Annibale Bugnini A more serious age sang the Dies Irae at Requiem Masses. Apparently, Annibale Bugnini—I believe his first name is an Italian version of the ancient Punic (Carthaginian / Phoenician) name Hanniba'al, which means „Baal is Gracious” or „Favoured by Baal”— said he had eliminated the sequence from funerals and other Masses for the Dead, because it: “smacked of a negative spirituality inherited from the Middle Ages.” Dies irae - Wikipedia Annibale or Hannibal wich means: “Baal is gracious” or “Favoured by Baal” / “The grace of Baal” — is a theophoric name (a name that contains the name of a god), which was very common in the ancient Phoenician and Carthaginian world. The most „famous“ bearer of this name, I would say, untill Bugnini, was the great Carthaginian general Hannibal Barca (3rd century BC), who crossed the Alps with elephants to fight against Rome. According to the well-known (and controversial) Pecorelli list and related traditionalist sources, the alleged …Ētahi atu

Reluctant Saint - Francis of Assisi. Andi on Jul 29, 2015 Saint Francis, the son of a merchant of Assisi, was born in the year 1182 in a poor stable, his birth already prophesying the Saint who would preach poverty to a world seduced by luxury. Though chosen by God to be for the world a living manifestation of Christ's poor and suffering life on earth, in his youth he was generous, always of equal humor, and much appreciated by his friends; he was fond of splendors, fine clothing, and good company, and easily won the affection of all who knew him. More than once various holy persons foretold for him a future of glory, but in veiled terms. Francis did not understand these predictions, and supposed he would become the leader of a large militia. The military life he had adopted ended when Jesus told him he was destined to fight another kind of combat, one against the demon and sin; that the grandeurs predicted were spiritual, not temporal — and to return home. He became inspired with a …Ētahi atu
Gambetti Steps Down as Archpriest of St. Peter's Basilica After Five Years and Several Controversies
Confirmed: Pope Leo XIV has appointed Cardinal Mauro Gambetti, 60, as Metropolitan Archbishop of Chieti-Vasto. The move brings Gambetti’s tenure as Archpriest of St Peter’s Basilica, Vicar General for Vatican City and President of the Fabric of St Peter to an end. His successor at the Vatican has not yet been announced. Cardinal Gambetti's years in the Vatican were marked by repeated controversies, many of which were brought to public attention primarily by SilereNonPossum.com. The investigation was based on documents, photographs, videos and testimony. Among other issues, SilereNonPossum reported favouritism in personnel appointments - including the hiring of people personally connected to Gambetti. Other scandals included controversial expenditure, costly events and projects, and concerns over the maintenance and management of the Basilica. Cardinal Gambetti succeeds Archbishop Bruno Forte, whose resignation Pope Leo XIV has accepted. The transfer comes after months of rumours that …Ētahi atu
