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
Something puzzling , Why isn't this meeting with the Horses Mouth? I'd walk into the meeting and ask, Where's Leo? Then stand up and walk out. Pope Leo can always weasel out of what was discussed, by saying, " I was never apart of that agreement" First and foremost - Speak only with Leo, then get the agreement in writing. Having this meeting with Kaptain Kissy makes Leo appear to be an imbecile, who is being steered by the Vatican No-Goods.
02/04/2026 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. While the media worldwide reports on the juicy details of the published files on the Epstein scandal and tries to shift all responsibility onto Trump, whom they hate, I have not yet said a word about this extremely brutal criminal case, which serves to control politicians and people who have influence on world politics. If it turns out that there is evidence of criminal activity by the current US president, I will be the first to call for his impeachment. China’s Supreme People’s Court declares that sexual abuse of children is a “particularly heinous” crime and is punishable by death without mercy under the law. In domestic politics, China relies on totalitarian, technocratic control of its own population. In international relations, however, it shows neither ideological expansion, as the USSR once did, nor does it introduce “true democracy” with bombs, as the US constantly does. China’s war against the Western world is more calculated and …
Mathematical infinity can be perceived as a description or metaphor of the immutable, transcendent nature of God. It is not something that mathematics “confirms,” but rather something that harmonizes well with such an image. Enemies of the Church for many years, even centuries, have analyzed how to destroy the Church. They tried to add heresies to doctrine; they tried to subtract truth from teaching. According to the laws of mathematics, infinity does not change, and therefore God also remains unchanged. These are logical statements that cannot be refuted. The worst part is that Freemasonry and other organizations associated with the fight against Christianity noticed this centuries ago and began externally adding various heresies and deviations from the faith, or subtracting obvious truths. It is known that external actions have the property of diverting attention from internal actions. They began a substitution of faith and the Church.
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
"Hear what the wise man thinks of the hope of the wicked: "The hope of the wicked is as dust, which is blown away with the wind, and as a thin froth which is dispersed by the storm: and a smoke that is scattered abroad by the wind; and as the remembrance of a guest of one day that passeth by."(Wisdom v. 15.)."
[St. Robert Bellarmine – XVI-XVII Century A.D.; Montepulciano, Grand Duchy of Tuscany/Rome, Papal States; (Aged 78); Cardinal; Rector; Professor; Doctor of the Church; Role in Giordano Bruno & Galileo cases] “CHAPTER III ~ THE THIRD PRECEPT, WHICH IS CONCERNING THE THREE THEOLOGICAL VIRTUES. IN the last chapter we showed, that no one can die a good death, without first dying to the world. Now we shall point out what he must do who is dead to the world, in order that he may live to God; for in the first chapter we proved, that no man can die well, without having lived well. The essence of a good life is laid down by St. Paul, in his first Epistle to Timothy, in these words: " Now the end of the commandment is charity from a pure heart, and a good conscience, and an unfeigned faith." (chap, i.) The apostle was not ignorant of the answer our Lord gave to one who had asked Him: " What shall I do to possess eternal life ? " He answered, “If thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments …More
The Peter’s Pence class action lawsuit against the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) was originally filed in January 2020. The lawsuit alleges that USCCB routinely asks Catholics throughout the country to donate money to the annual Peter’s Pence collection to “help victims of war, oppression, natural disaster, or disease,” but the money actually goes into funds which invest in such ventures as luxury condominium developments and Hollywood movies. The Plaintiff claims the USCCB is liable under theories of common law fraud, unjust enrichment, and breach of fiduciary duty. After 6 years of failed attempts to get the lawsuit dismissed, the USCCB and now filed a petition with the U.S. Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari. A writ of certiorari is a legal remedy used to review the decisions of a lower court. A writ would allow the Supreme Court to examine the records of the case and determine whether the lower court’s decision was correct. In their 52-page petition,…
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 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).
Bringing you political, military and social analysis of the real world, as well as engaging and interesting interviews via: In the Eyes of Truth podcast. I have to post a comment below the video. It's funny. I have it on good authority that Russia convinced Cain that he should kill Abel. He was an innocent man from a good family and ended up killing his brother. Sadly. Stanislav Krapivnik is a former US Army officer, supply chain exec and military-political expert, now based in Russia. He was born in Lugansk during the Soviet times, migrated to the US as a child, served in the US army, did not like what it was doing in former Yugoslavia, quit, and returned to Russia. Mr. Krapivnik is an independent contractor and consults and appears in the international media in his areas of expertise in military matters, NATO, America, history, economics and supply chains. He has been becoming one of my favorite people to listen to. Out of all the people I use to listen to and starting to listen to, …More
If people would notice when Putin said for (or over?) 500 years they have been stuffing their bellies with human flesh goes back to the protestant uprising. It was the first thing that popped into my head as I listened to him saying that.

It was a spectacle of justice, in displaying the Eternal Father, in order that his justice might be satisfied; punishing the sins of men in the person of his only-begotten Son, loved by him as himself. It was a spectacle of mercy, displaying his innocent Son dying a death so shameful and so bitter, in order to save his creatures from the punishment that was due to them. Especially was it a sight of love, in displaying a God who offered and gave his life to redeem from death his slaves …More
"In a word, the cross, that is, the Passion of Jesus Christ, is that which will gain for us the victory over all our passions and all the temptations that hell will hold out to us, in order to separate us from God. The cross is the road and ladder by which we mount to heaven. Happy he who embraces it during his life, and does not put it off till the hour of death. He that dies embracing the cross has a sure pledge of eternal life, which is promised to all those who follow Jesus Christ with their cross."
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..."
