WhySpiritus principalis? The Genesis, Intentions, and Sacramental Problem of the New Rite of Episcopal Consecration of 1968 Introductory Note — Central Point of the Controversy The question examined in this article is precise: do the historical and theological sources invoked for the 1968 rite establish that Spiritus principalis means unambiguously the fullness of the Sacrament of Holy Orders conferred upon the bishop? If they show that this expression is associated with the Holy Spirit and with the function of episcopal governance, they are not, by themselves, sufficient to demonstrate that Spiritus principalis technically means the potestas Ordinis. It is precisely this transition from the Spirit of governance to the sacramental power of Holy Orders that constitutes the decisive theological point of the controversy.

For decades, legend claimed that the pilot who dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima became a Carthusian monk at Serra San Bruno in Calabria. The truth was different. Father Tony Lehmann, a former U.S. soldier, visited Hiroshima after the war and, deeply affected by its devastation, chose to become a “man of peace.” He later joined the Carthusians, living at Serra San Bruno, before becoming a Jesuit devoted to pastoral service. He was no “penitent pilot,” but a witness to Hiroshima who chose peace, prayer and service. Father Tony died of leukemia on March 8, 2002, aged 73.
Leo XIV announced that Honggang Liu, 55, was consecrated a Bishop for the Chinese Diocese of Datong on August 31. ChinaCatholic.cn admitted today that Liu was elected bishop-designate of Datong on 28 April 2026. Vatican.va wrote today that Leo XIV did not formally appoint him until 10 August. Thus, Liu was selected unilaterally through the Chinese process more than three months before the papal appointment. Career Cleric of State Church Liu has been since his seminary time a career cleric of the state-controlled apparatus “Patriotic association”. He became the state’s diocesan administrator of Datong in March 2005. He effectively administered the same diocese for two decades before becoming its bishop today. Chinese sources has called him for years the director of the Datong Municipal Catholic Patriotic Association and head of the diocese. Currently he is vice-director of the Shanxi Patriotic Association (provincial-level leadership post). Raising Chinese Flags in Churches In October …Mwy
Engineering Failure the Nepal-Tibet Floods A "Six Sigma" event just scoured the Himalayas, leaving a trail of destruction that defies modern engineering. As the waters recede, a disturbing reality is emerging, while rescue teams search hydroelectric tunnels for survivors, the Chinese military is already fast-tracking the reconstruction of border stations on the exact same "kill zone" plateaus that were just wiped clean. The scale of this disaster is a wake-up call for the entire planet.
On August 28, the U.S. Justice Department released a 231-page report on the FBI’s 2023 Richmond Catholic memo, including evidence of surveillance of traditionalist Catholic clergy. The FBI investigated two priests and conducted surveillance connected to them. One belonged to the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X (FSSPX); the other, his uncle, was associated with SSPX Resistance and had been ordained by Bishop Richard Williamson. Agents researched travel and credit-card records. FBI personnel in Boston surveilled the second priest at the airport, while Customs and Border Protection questioned him and searched his phone. Both investigations were subsequently closed after the FBI found no identified national-security threat and no alleged violation of federal law. Among the exhibits in the DOJ report is an FBI PowerPoint titled “Traditionalist Catholicism Overview” - essentially a rudimentary guide to the various traditionalist Catholic groups and sects. Remarkably, the presentation included …Mwy
A report from the U.S. Department of Justice, published on August 26, 2026, provides detailed insight into a case that began in 2023 and delivers a very harsh judgment on the FBI's actions
If you read the slides on "Radical Traditional Catholicism" you will see that for the FBI any Catholic who adheres to and professes all the Magisterial teaching, Encyclicals and Apostolic letters on Church and State, family and morality of previous Popes before Vatican II (and, indeed, the Ten Commandments) should be profiled as a terrorist. The FBI makes a complete caricature of what those teachings are and represent, claiming such nonsense as Traditional Catholics believe in a "totalitarian Catholic confessional State". They even portray the fundamental principle of “Error has no rights” as being problematic and indicative of "radical Traditionalism". Tell that to God, Who holds the same principles. So Hell is a terroristic construct?
On August 27, the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria called on the government and security agencies to step up efforts to combat killings and kidnappings following recent attacks in Benue and Niger states. In a statement titled “Stop the Slaughter in Borgu and Ukum, Stop the Killings in Nigeria,” the bishops said the country was experiencing an “unabated trail of blood and terror” that had reached an “intolerable crest.” The statement was signed by CBCN President Archbishop Matthew Man-Oso Ndagoso of Kaduna. The bishops cited the recent killing of 47 people in Ukum, Benue State, where another 17 people were critically wounded. They also condemned the abduction of more than 60 Muslim worshippers in Borgu, Niger State. They called for intelligence-led security operations. The aim is disrupting armed groups before they can carry out attacks. They also demanded the prosecution of the perpetrators and their sponsors, saying that “impunity fuels repetition.” Furthermore, the bishops …Mwy

Bishop Wilhelm Krautwaschl of Graz-Seckau, Austria, has prohibited the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) from holding its annual public Rosary prayer on October 4 inside the Basilica of Mariazell. It is one of the most important Marian shrines in Austria. The annual ceremony in the basilica included Rosary, Litany of Loreto, Marian hymns and a blessing - but no sacraments. Fsspx.at announced the decision on August 27, adding that a pilgrimage will take place with a modified program. The FSSPX’s rosary prayer in Mariazell has existed for half a century. On September 8, 1975, Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre led approximately 600 faithful to the Austrian shrine.

You can pray the rosary while walking around the Bishop's residence like Joshua and Jericho. Please God the walls in his heart will come tumbling down.

New crusade of the Vatican - the doctrine of lies: “Let us not retreat into our own convictions and religious certainties. This may ask us to follow unfamiliar paths and to make choices different from those we had imagined”. 1) Matthew 24:24; They will deceive, if posible, even the choosen. 2) There is no salvation in anyone else: a) John 14: 6; Jesus said to him, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. b) Acts 4:12; There is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” c) 1 Timothy 2:5; There is one God and one Mediator between God and mankind, Christ Jesus. 3) Hebrews 10:28-29; If anyone violates the Law of Moses, he is put to death without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. How much more severe a punishment do you think will be deserved by the one who has trampled underfoot the Son of God, treated as profane the Blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and insulted the Spirit of Grace? 4) Galatians …Mwy

Nikt nie przychodzi do Ojca inaczej jak tylko przeze Mnie”. b) Dzieje Apostolskie 4:12; Nie ma pod niebem żadnego innego imienia, danego ludziom, przez które moglibyśmy być zbawieni. c) 1 List do Tymoteusza 2:5; Jest jeden Bóg i jeden Pośrednik między Bogiem a ludźmi, Chrystus Jezus. 3) List do Hebrajczyków 10:28-29; Jeśli ktoś narusza Prawo Mojżeszowe, podlega karze śmierci bez litości na podstawie zeznań dwóch lub trzech świadków. Jak o wiele surowszej kary, jak sądzicie, zasłuży ten, kto zdeptał Syna Bożego, uznał za bezczelną Krew Przymierza, która go uświęciła, i znieważył Ducha Łaski? 4) List do Galatów 1:8; Ale nawet gdybyśmy my sami lub anioł z nieba głosił ewangelię inną niż ta, którą wam głosiliśmy, niech będzie przeklęty!
