Zac Davis, associate editor of the Jesuits' America magazine, criticized the Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel after Eucharists on X.com: "I cannot express how much I dislike the St. Michael Prayer after Mass." He argued its language "breeds a sense of paranoia and cynicism" and that it "does not belong in the liturgy." Composed by Pope Leo XIII in 1884, the prayer was recited after Low Masses until the post-Vatican II reforms and has recently been reintroduced after Eucharists in many U.S. dioceses.
Thu Jun 25, 2026 - 2:28 pm EDTThu Jun 25, 2026 - 8:18 pm EDT (LifeSiteNews) — The associate editor of the heterodox Jesuit-run America magazine expressed his revulsion toward the recitation of the Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel after Mass in a Wednesday social media post. Zac Davis, who is also co-host of the “Jesuitical” podcast, wrote on X, “I cannot express how much I dislike the St. Michael Prayer after Mass. It is so, so jarring to me every time.” “To say nothing of the intent/content of the prayer, the language, and repetition and prominence given to it breed a sense of paranoia and cynicism. Instead of going out to evangelize the world, everyone is ready to go to war with it,” he wrote, replying to a Jesuit praising the recitation of the prayer after Mass. Against Davis’ last point, John Monaco pointed out that evangelization of the world and going to war with it “aren’t mutually exclusive.” Davis went on to share his belief that the St. Michael Prayer is acceptable …
It's no wonder the progressive wing of the modern Jesuits is eaten up with apostasy and their schools and universities lead so many young people down the slippery path to hell, via the acceptance of immoral sexual behavior as the norm and not mortally sinful --
Any attack from the side of the post-conciliar sect on the Catholic Faith or piety should be answered. With prayer, denouncement and Catholic truth. Enough is enough. Let all those Fernandezes, Davises and other Judases know - time of lukewarmness tolerating sacrilege and desecration in the name of human respect or wordly-ungodly peace has ended. Holy indignation should replace it. The Church of Laodicea must become the Church of Philadelphia to face the Church of Sardes.
In this post, the errors of the Opus are thoroughly and carefully exposed. This is not about former members complaining. It is a philosophical and theological expose. I have previously shared this information in a post by the user jamacor, but it was censored. Having grown up inside the Opus cult, I am familiar with their operations. They are often ignorant in matters of faith and religion (which is part of their tactic) and are discouraged from engaging in any debate.
Yes, and I think people underestimate the role they had in the VII Council. As Father Hesse used to say, they are the brains and muscles of the VII Church.
26 neoconservative theology professors from Franciscan University of Steubenville - including Scott Hahn, John Bergsma, Michael Waldstein, Mark Miravalle, and university president Fr. Dave Pivonka - has published an open letter urging the FSSPX not to proceed with episcopal consecrations without a pontifical mandate. They represent a substantial portion of Steubenville's influential Theology Department (about 30 faculty members). Their argument is that no crisis in the Church justifies an act that would further damage the Church's visible unity with the Pope.
Open letter addressed to the SSPX leadership by nearly all the theologians of Franciscan University of Steubenville. «We write not as adversaries, but as fellow Christians who love the Church, which is built on Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition, and who, like you, long for the salvation of souls. Your love for the beauty of the traditional liturgy and your reverence in worship witness your earnest desire to serve the Lord. We share this love and desire.... The treasures of Catholic Tradition do not belong outside communion with Peter; they belong at the heart of the Church.»
Please attend to the nearly 50 "I reject" proclamations of the PoF, address them and stop the duck and hide, escape and evasion sophistry. It didn't work before and ain't gonna work now. M O D E R N I S M: the synthesis of all heresies.
Our Lady Statue Found Intact After Caracas Earthquakes: Following the twin earthquakes that struck Venezuela on June 24, an undamaged statue of Our Lady holding the Child Jesus was discovered amid the destruction in Caracas. As recovery efforts continued, local residents and workers carefully carried the statue away from the damaged area.
A statue of Mary and Jesus remains intact after earthquakes in Venezuela. The statue survived double earthquakes in Caracas, the capital city of Venezuela.
Genuine democracies do not ban multiple opposition parties or close opposition media outlets. Nor do they rigorously censor (and put under strict government control) media outlets that they allow to remain open. Genuine democracies do not outlaw churches that advocate policies the government dislikes. They do not imprison regime opponents, let alone without meaningful due process, much less tolerate the torture of political prisoners. Genuine democracies do not publish “blacklists” of domestic and foreign critics, thereby putting a target on their backs. Yet the Ukrainian government has committed not just one or two, but all of those abuses.
Contra to what that the Russian propagandist posing an American says in that blog post linked, Ukraine dissolved certain parties with treasonable links to the despot Putin. Nothing more. Every political party in Russia in parliament are KGB puppets and minons.
Cardinal Gerhard Müller spoke at the June 26 consistory about the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX), IlGiornale.it reports. He addressed the FSSPX's allegations that the Vatican has deviated from the Church's magisterium. Cardinal Müller proposed preparing a response to the Fraternity that would affirm that Rome has never abandoned the path of Catholicism, contrary to their claims. He also said that, following Wednesday's episcopal consecrations, many Lefebvrists would seek to enter into full canonical communion with the Church. The Vatican should prepare to welcome them back by proposing a structure modelled on the Pontifical Commission Ecclesia Dei, which was established by Pope John Paul II in 1988. Cardinal Müller's intervention was received without comment during the session. Picture: Vatican Media, #newsVrgqbzlram
Knoxville Bishop Richard Stika, 62, USA, published on Twitter (December 20 and December 23) a Christmas card showing himself with Cardinal Justin Rigali, 84, and three dogs. The cardinal and the bishop are casually dressed. The card’s text says, “Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Cardinal Rigali, Bishop Stika, Stella, Rosie and Molly.” Stika is notorious for posting strange, contradicting and false Twitter statements. For decades, he has been Rigali's protégé and close friend. He served as a vicar general and chancellor of the Saint Louis Archdiocese when Cardinal Rigali was the archbishop there. After Rigali's retirement in 2011, Stika invited him to live in Knoxville diocese. Already in 2016, Stika and Rigali published a Christmas card with Rosie (picture below). #newsFvyihtijig
On June 25, skinny Paulist Father Chris Lawton celebrated an annual homosex Eucharist at the Stonewall National Monument in Christopher Park, New York City. Around 150 people attended, reports NcrOnline.org. The Eucharist was organized by the notorious homosexual parish St. Paul the Apostle in Manhattan. It took place at the start of 'New York Pride weekend'. The location was disfigured with dozens of rainbow flags. Fr Lawton apologized to homosexuals for times when the Church had failed to recognize God's presence in them. He believes that „transgender Catholics” continue to face unique injustice within the Church. He added that there is a movement toward inclusion of homosexuals underway in the Church: "The train has left the station. And we are going somewhere." Since February 6, the Archdiocese of New York has been led by Monsignor Ronald Hicks - another of Leo XIV's bad appointments. #newsBcfrbukhdr
The divine curse (Galatians 1:9) falls upon the apostate gay activists and unrepentant homosexuals—Chris Lawton, Gherardo Gambelli, Prevost, Tucho, James Martin, and other accomplices. Eternal death is decreed for them (Romans 1:32).

Leo XIV Wants Synodality - Cardinals more Clarity: Today, at the end of the Extraordinary Consistory, Pope Leo XIV asked the Cardinals to "support the implementation of the Synod with conviction" in their dioceses: "As Cardinal Grech said, synodality is not a set of meetings or a working method; it is a spiritual style." However, SilereNonPossum mentions that, following Cardinal Grech's presentation, several cardinals and prelates requested clarification.
Such a waste of time and financial resources. Nothing of real substance as regards the crisis of the loss of the substance of the Catholic Faith and the consequential effects on the salvation of souls was even mentioned. Simply, temporal concerns. The Synodal Church is like all other secular associations. Concern is for the affairs of this world only. Pray the Rosary, fast as much as you can, remain in a state of Sanctifying Grace at all costs. We are on the verge of a major correction/chastisement - as promised by Our Lady!
"FSSPX Are Schismatic Priests": Cardinal Gerhard Müller told EWTN that Catholics “cannot go” to Masses offered by the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (SSPX): “They shouldn't go and cannot go, participate in the masses of the schismatic priests.” He added that Catholics must accept not only dogmas such as the Trinity and the Incarnation, but also that “the Church is the visible presence of the Body of Jesus Christ.” Regarding the FSSPX's planned episcopal consecrations, he said: “Consecrations without the Pope are absolutely impossible against the will of God, and who is working against God will be excommunicated.” The Vatican has so far never used the word "schism" or "schismatic" in context with the FSSPX.
Cardinal Müller's remarks to EWTN (June 26) were strikingly uncompromising: "Catholics cannot go to these schismatic priests."
Has there ever been a time like this? The FSSPX is not doing something new, as throughout history of the Church there has been consecrations without papal aproval and nothing happened, because the salvation of souls is #1 and above everything else, BUT we are living in such dangerous times that we no longer distinguish good from bad and light with dark, this is why the FSSPX is doing what's best for their sheep and I (even though im not one of them), stands with them.
The Society of PiusX is not schismatic, Bishop Athanasius Schneider told the Confraternity of Our Lady of Fatima (January 13, video below). He explains that the Vatican stated several times that PiusX is not schismatic but only in an "irregular canonical situation" - as if the Vatican would care about Canon Law. Cardinal Ladaria, Prefect of the Congregation of the Doctrine of Faith, said in a recent interview that PiusX “is not outside of the Church.” Schneider calls this an “affirmation of a high official of the Vatican.” A visible sign of communion is for him that PiusX names Francis and the local bishop during Mass. It is only due to the “extreme, extraordinary crisis” that PiusX cannot submit itself under the Vatican’s full control, “They had not the guarantee to live fully, integrally the Catholic Faith and Liturgy” as the Ecclesia Communities have now “no full guarantee how to continue.” The crisis expresses itself in the ambiguous texts of Vatican II, in practices of the …Ve

St. Cyril of Alexandria (376?-444) - June 27 Saints are not born with halos around their heads. Cyril, recognized as a great teacher of the Church, began his career as archbishop of Alexandria, Egypt, with impulsive, often violent, actions. He pillaged and closed the churches of the Novatian heretics (who required those who denied the faith to be rebaptized), participated in the deposing of St. John Chrysostom (September 13) and confiscated Jewish property, expelling the Jews from Alexandria in retaliation for their attacks on Christians. Cyril’s importance for theology and Church history lies in his championing the cause of orthodoxy against the heresy of Nestorius, who taught that in Christ there were two persons, one human and one divine. The controversy centered around the two natures in Christ. Nestorius would not agree to the title “God-bearer” for Mary (January 1). He preferred “Christ-bearer,” saying there are two distinct persons in Christ (divine and human) joined only by …Ve

According to the Substack-Account The Pillar (27 May), Bishop Michael Martin, 63, of Charlotte, North Carolina, is currently working on an anti-liturgical instruction. It would: - restrict the use of Latin in the Novus Ordo - seemingly prohibit the ad orientem celebration of the Eucharist - eliminate the use of altar benches for receiving Communion while kneeling. Bishop Martin has recently become infamous worldwide for abolishing the Roman Mass in four parishes by July, while allowing it to continue at only one site: a former Protestant temple. In January, he removed the altar benches from a parish where they had been used for over a decade. Until Bishop Martin's appointment in April 2024, the Diocese of Charlotte was one of the most thriving in the United States. #newsWlfuhmpaoa
