The episcopal consecrations by the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X in Écône on July 1 have revived an old question: how many Catholics are attached to the FSSPX? The answer is surprisingly elusive. Depending on the source, estimates range from around 100,000 to as many as 600,000 faithful worldwide. The FSSPX itself continues to publish the figure of 600,000 faithful. However, the number of 600,000 comes from a speech delivered in 2007 by Cardinal Darío Castrillón Hoyos, then President of the Pontifical Commission Ecclesia Dei. Speaking to the Latin American bishops at Aparecida, he stated that the "Lefebvrian group" consisted of four bishops, 500 priests and 600,000 faithful. The number is difficult to reconcile with the FSSPX’s infrastructure. The FSSPX has approximately 730 priests, about 180 priories and houses, and 750 chapels and Mass centres. Many of these chapels are small mission stations where Mass is celebrated only once or twice a month with few faithful. In 2019, Fr Pascal …Zvimwe
Give him your exact age. Years, days, hours. He'll tell you how many seconds you have been alive — and he'll do it faster than you can write the question down. His name was Thomas Fuller. He could not read. He could not write. He never spent a single day in a classroom. And he may have been the fastest human calculator who ever lived. Fuller was born around 1710 in West Africa, in the region that today stretches between Liberia and Benin. He was about 14 years old when slave traders seized him, put him on a ship, and sold him across an ocean he had never seen. The year was 1724. He would spend the rest of his long life enslaved on a 232-acre plantation near Alexandria, Virginia, owned by Presley and Elizabeth Cox. He worked the fields. That was the whole of the world allowed to him. But something remarkable was happening inside that man's head. Fuller began measuring everything around him. How many grains in a bushel of wheat. How many hairs on a cow's tail — he once put the number at …Zvimwe
Today, the General Secretariat of the Synod issued the preparatory framework for the October 7–14 meeting on the implementation of Amoris Laetitia between Pope Leo XIV and the presidents of the bishops' conferences. The gathering marks the tenth anniversary of Amoris Laetitia. The format is described as "synodal," involving a process of listening, prayer, and discernment. The aim is "to discern the direction in which the Holy Spirit is leading us today." The five discussion themes are: • Families today: reality, beauty and challenges • Young people and the discovery of the vocation to marriage (including cohabiting couples) • Married life: the first years of marriage—a decisive time • In the difficulties of life: accompanying and supporting • Christian families as subjects of the Church's mission The fourth theme speaks of “failure” and the “gap between the ideal and reality.” It says those who “have experienced separation and divorce” should feel listened to, involved, and co-responsible …Zvimwe
French Church Vandalised, Nothing Stolen: On 5 July, Saint-Étienne Church in Mulhouse, eastern France, was vandalised. A man entered the church, went straight to the sanctuary, removed the cross from the altar and threw it to the floor. He then knocked over a vase and used the cross to force open the doors of three confessionals, some dating back to the early 19th century. Nothing was stolen; the damage was confined to religious furnishings and symbols.
Dimanche 5 juillet, vers 16 h 30, l’église Saint-Étienne de Mulhouse a été la cible d’un acte de vandalisme. Un homme est entré dans l’édifice vide, a jeté au sol la croix de l’autel, renversé un vase, puis utilisé la croix pour fracturer les portes de trois confessionnaux, dont certains datent du début du XIXᵉ siècle.
Sooner or later, children find out the truth about everything. Time has a remarkable way of revealing the truth. When children are young, they may not understand the sacrifices you made for them. They don't know how many nights you stayed awake. How many times you went without buying something for yourself just to make sure they had everything they needed. They don't remember the tears you hid, the silent worries, or the daily effort it took to keep the family going. But one day, they grow up. And they begin to put the pieces of their story together. They discover who was there when they needed someone the most. Who held them close when they were sick. Who celebrated their achievements. Who stood beside them after every fall. And who made love a constant choice, not just a word. They also come to understand who was absent, who made promises but never kept them, and who chose other priorities. There's no need to speak badly about anyone. The truth always finds its own way. Actions leave …Zvimwe

Are there no true artists in the Church anymore? Must we be inundated always and forever with these garbage images that hold not a microcosm of the Church’s beauty and beliefs, nor the regal majesty of the Papal Office?
The EU in 2027 will spend $0.8 trillion on education and $1.26 trillion on health, while Net Zero will cost $3.3 trillion In his ARC 2026 keynote, Bjorn Lomborg explained the ways in which current climate policies are driving up energy prices and reducing the availability of energy, costing us huge amounts of money while having little to no impact on tackling climate change. He calls for a change in mindset, to pursue the energy abundance that leads to economic growth and technological innovation — which will ultimately help us solve the problem of climate change.
Archbishop Bernard Hebda of Saint Paul and Minneapolis wrote on July 2 about the episcopal consecrations by the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX): "In the ten years that I have led this local Church, I have met many sincere people who worship regularly or occasionally at the chapels of the SSPX within the territory of our Archdiocese. I have been impressed by the strength of their families and their commitment to traditional Catholic values." He acknowledges that the FSSPX bishops’ excommunication will affect them in a particular way and hopes they will not follow them “in separating themselves from Pope Leo XIV.” Monsignor Hebda also noted that the Traditional Latin Mass is celebrated at six locations in the Archdiocese, adding: “I am confident that those who prefer the Traditional Latin Mass could find a home here.” #newsEtakruhtwp
A Papal Handshake, a Cathedral Fire, and a Murder: On July 4 in Lampedusa, Leo XIV shook the hands of 20 illegal immigrants who had just arrived in Europe. He reminded everyone that all human life carries immeasurable worth. One of his predecessor’s handshakes later took on a dark meaning. In 2016, Pope Francis shook hands with Rwandan national Emmanuel Abayisenga. In 2020, Abayisenga set fire to the 15th-century Nantes cathedral in France. In 2021, he murdered the priest who had taken him in and sheltered him after the fire.

On 5 July, the animal rights organisation PETA staged a blasphemous demonstration in Pamplona. The protest featured a man portraying Jesus Christ wearing a crown of thorns, surrounded by activists in bikinis covered in red paint, to oppose bullfighting and urge the Catholic Church to condemn the practice.

[Venerable Mary of Agreda – XVII Century AD; born: Agreda, Spain/died: Agreda, Spain; ‘Lady in Blue’; Abess; Writer; Mystic] 101. ‘She cried travailing in birth.’ Although the dignity of this Queen and of that mystery was to be hidden in the beginning in order that God might be born humble, poor and unknown : yet afterwards the news of that Birth was proclaimed so loudly, that its first echo excited King Herod and filled him with uneasiness. It drew the Magi from their palaces and kingdoms in order to find Him (Matth. 2, 3). Some hearts were touched with fear, others moved to interior affection. The Fruit of this birth, growing until it was raised on the Cross, gave such loud voices, that It was heard from the rising to the setting sun (John 12, 32), and from farthest north to farthest south (Rom. 10, 18). So far then was heard the voice of that Woman who gave birth to the Word of the eternal Father. 102. ‘And was in pain to be delivered.’ He does not say this because She was to give …Zvimwe
"102. ‘And was in pain to be delivered.’ He does not say this because She was to give birth in bodily pain, for that is not possible in this divine Parturition. But because it was to be a great sorrow for that Mother to see that divine Infant come forth from the secrecy of her virginal womb in order to suffer and die as a victim for the satisfaction of the sins of the world. For this Queen could know and did know all this beforehand by her knowledge of the holy Scriptures."
Cardinal Timothy Radcliffe spoke to AdVaticanum.com on July 4 about his participation in a London Eucharist at Holy Apostles Church including a liturgical blessing for a homosexual couple. The interview is obvious gaslighting, not to say blatant lying, given that the livestream had been published on YouTube. The event was held on June 13 to mark the 50-year homosexual partnership of Julian Filochowski and Martin Pendergast, two longstanding figures in "pastoral outreach" to homosexual Catholics. The principal celebrant was Fr. Jim O'Keefe, with concelebrants including Bishop John Crowley, emeritus of Middlesbrough, and Bishop John Rawsthorne, emeritus of Hallam. "I gave no blessing to anyone" Cardinal Radcliffe claimed: "I gave no blessing to anyone and had not been aware that any blessings would be given." However, the picture above shows him making the sign of the cross during the blessing of the two homosexuals standing side by side like a married couple. The text was based on a …Zvimwe
More than 150 people from Spain, Italy, the United States, South Africa, Guyana, and Taiwan attended the apostate and sacrilegious event. The principal celebrant was Father Jim O'Keefe, and the concelebrants included Radcliffe, two English bishops—John Crowley of Middlesbrough and John Rawsthorne of Hallam (both apostates)—as well as the apostate Canon Chris Vipers, from the parish.
On March 5, 2023, in his cathedral of La Plata, Bishop Víctor Manuel Fernández denounced the "classifications" and "labels" canonical and moral developed by the Church. Three years later, having become prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, it is he who promulgates the decree of excommunication targeting the bishops, members, and faithful of the FSSPX following the episcopal ordinations of July 1, 2026.

Blessed Peter To Rot - July 7 Memorial 7 July Profile Son of Angelo To Puia, a village chief, and Maria la Tumul, an adult converts who were part of the region’s first generation of Catholics. Peter was a pious boy, and though somewhat drawn to religious life, he became a laycatechist and worked with missionaries in the area. An excellent teacher and organizer of classes, he constantly carried and taught from his Bible. Married to Paula la Varpit on 11 November1936. Father of three; one childdied in infancy, another soon after the War. In 1942 all the missionaries and their staff were arrested by the invading Japanesearmies, and were lodged in concentration camps. Peter continued to lead the faithful of his village as best he could, caring for the sick, Baptising and teaching the converts, helping the poor. When the War began to go against them, the Japanese began to repress the locals, forbidding Christianity, and pushing for a return to pre-Christian ways, …Zvimwe
Blessed Peter To Rot - July 7 Peter To Rot was born in what is today Papua New Guinea. He was the son of the village chief, and he and his parents were baptized as adults and were among the first Catholics in their country. From an early age, To Rot was interested in his faith. He became one of the youngest catechists in Papua New Guinea, and he always carried a Bible and knew Scriptures by heart. In 1936, he married Paula la Varpit, a Catholic woman from a nearby village. But World War II changed the lives of the people of Papua New Guinea. When Japanese forces occupied their island, all missionaries were imprisoned. That left Peter as the only spiritual leader in the area. He provided prayer services and instruction, and he helped the poor. In 1942, the Japanese forbade all Christian worship. But that only encouraged Peter to express his faith more publicly. He was known to hold Catholic prayer services in caves. By 1945, he was arrested and sentenced to prison. Japanese leaders thought …Zvimwe
How Netanyahu's delusional 'protector of Christians' drivel fools no one Against the ongoing brazen Israeli invasion of southern Lebanon, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu just had the gall to tell pro-Zionist US media that some Christian villages in Lebanon, “have actually asked to be annexed to Israel because we protect them against Hezbollah." Netanyahu, wanted by the ICC for war crimes, and whose own security minister thirsts for all of Lebanon to “burn” — named no villages. Nor did he explain how Israeli “protection” squares with reducing churches to gravel. The Christian communities he purported to speak for publicly repudiated him. Fifteen towns in southern Lebanon’s Marjeyoun district issued a joint statement reaffirming their “loyalty to their national identity” and “attachment to their Lebanese flag.” The mayor of Rmeish, Hanna al‑Amil, told Lebanon’s National News Agency that even contemplating such a notion was “absolutely out of the question.” Netanyahu’s delusional …Zvimwe

I had to edit this. I forgot to add melania's name in the fourth sentence. @Luke Nutley As a sede you focus on his fake marriages? He is a prot. They are not recognized in the eyes of GOD! Nor with Real Catholics. Some Catholics say, the marriage to melania valid because he was married in a Catholic Church. Some Catholics say that they weren't because he was married in a novus ordo mess. Some Catholics who believe they weren't valid suddenly recognizes his marriage as valid in a novus ordo. When before they were totally against it. Do I have to leave you a list of his crimes? I thought I already did many times before. As well as others on gtv. Focus on them. Not his fake marriages. And many presidents who were married also cheated on their wives. trump and melania were made for each other. Both morally bankrupt, sick and downright evil people. I always wonder if melania had abortions and if so, how many. The way she demands and fights for it you have to wonder about it.
