The Vatican will bar priests, religious and lay faithful participating in the annual Ad Petri Sedem pilgrimage from entering St. Peter’s Basilica on Saturday, Oct. 24, extending restrictions beyond the celebration of the traditional Latin Mass to the pilgrims’ customary gathering for prayer at the tomb of St. Peter.
The Summorum Pontificum pilgrimage will tomorrow be barred from entering St. Peter’s Basilica, said Christian Marquant, president of the French organization Paix Liturgique, at today’s event at the Augustinianum in Rome. He added that Pope Leo XIV had described last year’s Mass at St. Peter’s as “instrumentalized,” reports MessaInLatino.it. This Papal remark was made during a December audience in which Bishop Athanasius Schneider raised the widespread desire for the Roman Rite with Leo XIV. “Perhaps he was annoyed by the large turnout or the extensive press coverage,” Marquant speculated. “And indeed, this year permission to celebrate Mass at St. Peter’s has been refused!” Marquant then announced breaking news: “Not only have we been denied permission to celebrate Mass, but we have even been barred from entering the basilica, without so much as a semblance of justification. We shall see what happens tomorrow.” The decision was communicated in recent days in a letter from the Vatican …Has köp
Here is Pope Leo XIII dissection of Americanism (that's 13 not 14 so don't freak out). Someone should dissect this out before it is too late. Catholics have a home in Constitutional America but the bishops were cautioned in 1899. Testem Benevolentiae Nostrae - Papal Encyclicals

20. Oktober 2026 Mit 13 zu 12 Stimmen hatte der Landtag am 2. September die Volksinitiative „Fristenlösung für Liechtenstein“ angenommen und darauf verzichtet, sie dem Volk vorzulegen. Schwangerschaftsabbrüche wären damit bis zur zwölften Woche erlaubt worden. In Kraft treten wird das Gesetz nun aber nicht: Erbprinz Alois von und zu Liechtenstein wird den Gesetzesbeschluss nicht sanktionieren. Das hat das Fürstenhaus am Dienstag mitgeteilt. Ohne die Sanktion des Landesfürsten kann kein Gesetz in Kraft treten. Der Erbprinz hält an seiner Haltung fest, die er bereits im Juni in den Medien vertreten hatte. Er habe sich in den vergangenen Monaten eingehend mit dem Initiativbegehren und mit Fragen des Schwangerschaftsabbruchs auseinandergesetzt und zahlreiche Gespräche zum Thema geführt, heisst es in der Mitteilung. Nach sorgfältiger Prüfung sei er nach wie vor überzeugt, dass eine Fristenregelung nicht geeignet sei, dem Schutz des ungeborenen Lebens als zentralem Rechtsgut gerecht zu werden …Has köp
23.10.2026 REUTERS AGREES WITH ME: VATICAN COUNCIL II SUPPORTS THE TRADITIONALISTS Catholics are obligated to interpret the Council rationally and honestly. The Council is traditional. The orthodox passages in Vatican Council II aligned with the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus, dominate, with no exceptions mentioned in the Council-text. The 1949 Letter of the Holy Office to the Archbishop of Boston can be read with the baptism of desire not being a practical exception for the dogma EENS of the Council of Florence 1442, which did not mention any exceptions. The baptism of desire never was a practical exception for Feeneyite EENS. LG 8, 14, 16 etc are always hypothetical cases and so they cannot be exceptions for the Athanasius Creed which says all need to be Catholic for eternal salvation. They are not exceptions for an ecumenism of return of the Syllabus of Pius IX. They are not known exceptions for the exclusivist ecclesiology of the Roman Missal at the Latin Mass. There is no denial …Has köp
Master Wenceslas of Bohemia - October in the Cycle of the Months of Torre Aquila - Trento The grape harvest: the activities of picking the grapes, pressing the grapes, and preparing the must, are the protagonists of the scene. The Bohemian master carefully describes every detail, including the imposing wine press. The grape harvest was one of the most anticipated moments in the agricultural calendar. Thus, even the noble lords, who in the other scenes carefully avoid mingling with the peasants, have abandoned their aristocratic pastimes to descend, all elegant, into the vineyard to taste the must. arseuropa

Quran is "Word of God" and Muhammad "chosen by God" - says Italian bishops’ school material. The publication, Schede per conoscere l’Islam (“Sheets for Understanding Islam”), was prepared by the CEI and the Pontifical Institute for Arabic and Islamic Studies (PISAI). It comprises 11 teaching sheets intended for use in Catholic religious instruction in Italian schools. They were presented at Palazzo Borromeo in Rome on October 21, at an event attended by Cardinal Matteo Zuppi.

Sheet 4 bears the title “The Quran: The Revealed Word of God.” Its text states: “The Word of God, unknowable in itself, becomes accessible to human beings through the oral recitation and written reading of the Quran.” It continues: “In time and space, God makes himself present through the attribute of the Word …Has köp

For Vatican justice, already under severe scrutiny for the way the major trial was conducted, a new front is opening: that of the transparency of investigations and the guarantees afforded to the defendants. This is a matter likely to weigh on the pontificate of Leo XIV, who is called to deal with the judicial legacy of one of the most controversial proceedings in recent years.
Leo XIV cancels his presence at next inter-religious Assisi meeting. Pope Leo XIV will not travel to Assisi on October 27 for the peace meeting with representatives of various religions. The meeting was intended to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the syncretistic Assisi gathering convened by John Paul II in 1986. It seems that Leo XIV wants to avoid another scandal. The official excuse is his health. Doctors have advised against the helicopter trip "as a precautionary measure." Leo XIV will send a video message instead. At the same time, the doctors announced that Leo XIV had undergone another X-ray. The results were excellent, and his postoperative recovery is progressing very well. #newsBooqnjbqpw
Leo XIV recently underwent surgery to remove a lung tumor. He has now canceled a visit to Assisi—according to the Vatican, so as not to jeopardize his recovery.
Cardinal Domenico Battaglia of Naples wrote the foreword to a new Catholic book on transgender people, writing that “no one is excluded from the heart of God.”
Cardinal Battaglia Wants to Accompany Transvestites Cardinal Domenico Battaglia, 63, of Naples, Italy, wrote the foreword to the book 'Transgender People'. He believes that the Church is called to "renew its gaze upon humanity". The book deals with “complex and sensitive issues,” he writes. His examples are “gender dysphoria, transgender identities, and life experiences that do not conform to traditional models.” This raises “profound questions - including for the Church.” Cardinal Battaglia proposes “a path not of condemnation, but of accompaniment”: “No one is excluded from God’s heart.” And: “No life is foreign to the mystery of salvation.” “Every person, every story - even those that seem distant or difficult to understand - carries within it the possibility of a revelation.” The book “reminds us that behind ideas there are people. People whom we must encounter, listen to, and accompany.” #newsUqdcmgjzfp
