The Mass in the Roman rite touches on the very idea of tradition in the Church, Cardinal Jean-Marc Aveline of Marseille, president of the French bishops, told KTO on April 5. Bishops are called to show “pastoral solicitude” toward those Catholics: “First, to welcome them. It is not about judging them.” He added that this welcome should not begin by trying to redirect them and “not to say: 'they should go elsewhere or do it differently'.” At the same time, Cardinal Aveline emphasized that this welcome must remain within the framework of official Church structures: “Tradition goes all the way to the last council, including the Second Vatican Council.” Cardinal Aveline added that the liturgy and Vatican II “is not necessarily irreconcilable” as there is “a hermeneutic of continuity”. Councils “do not abolish previous ones.” On the announcement of episcopal consecrations by the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X., Cardinal Aveline spoke of “a cause of sadness.” He believes: “It is …More
A heretical, non-dogmatic megacouncil that eliminated the Tradition of the Church and opened the doors to the current apostasy. No, thank you; we will never accept the apostate ecumenical heresy that violates the First Commandment.
Catholic Traditionalists elaborate still more by giving Putin a messianic role. Here are some of the incoherencies we have heard:"Putin is a good Christian who goes to Church and kisses the Gospel in the hands of the Moscow patriarch."
Bird’s Eye View of the News RUSSIA'S PSY-WAR AGAINST THE WEST - The theater of military operations is changing quickly with the Ukrainian resistance killing about 1,000 Russian soldiers per day and destroying a considerable part of the latter's lethal equipment, according to data released by the Ukrainian Minister of Defense. Although contradictory data are being spread, so far it seems that the Russian troops have not been able to gain and hold control of any important city in the invaded territory, as reported by American experts on Russian strategy. Bordyanka, Ukraine, bombarded on March 3, 2022 - Reuters/Epoch Times While the first blow of the red onslaught has met with a partial failure, thus obliging the invader to change its strategy and resort to airstrikes and heavy artillery missile fire over the cities to force their surrender, let me analyze the psychological assault made by the communists. The Russian psychological warfare (psy-war) has been far more efficient than their …
Bishop Athanasius Schneider published an article on DianeMontagna.substack.com about the Co-Redemptrix. Reprinted with permission. They Could Not Have Been Mistaken: The Voice of the Saints, Doctors, and the Ordinary Magisterium of the Church in Affirming Mary as “Co-Redemptrix” and “Mediatrix of All Graces”. By Bishop Athanasius Schneider Over the course of time, the Ordinary Magisterium, together with numerous Saints and Doctors of the Church, have taught the Marian doctrines of Coredemption and Mediation, employing among other expressions the specific titles “Co-Redemptrix” and “Mediatrix of All Graces.” Consequently, it cannot be maintained that the Ordinary Magisterium, along with Saints and Doctors of the Church over so many centuries, could have led the faithful astray through a consistently inappropriate use of these Marian titles. Moreover, throughout the ages, this Marian doctrine and the use of these titles have also expressed the sensus fidei—the sense of faith of the …More

Leo XIV received Cardinal Gianfranco Ghirlanda, S.J., Patron of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, and Grand Master Fra’ John Timothy Dunlap on April 10 to address ongoing issues related to the Order’s constitutional reform. According to CatholicHerald.com, the meeting focused on the Order’s revised Constitutional Charter, drafted under Ghirlanda’s supervision. The reform remains controversial as it reshapes the balance between the Order’s sovereignty and Vatican oversight. Leo XIV first met both men together before holding separate discussions. Previous reports had suggested that Cardinal Ghirlanda - appointed by Pope Francis in June 2023 with broad reform powers - could be replaced, possibly by Cardinal Arthur Roche or Cardinal Timothy Dolan. Nico Spuntoni wrote that the audience aimed to review specific constitutional articles and update related regulations. He added that a leadership change may become likely once Ghirlanda’s mandate ends. The Order remains unique as both a …More

These are not direct talks, as the U.S. has the unpleasant habit of simply assassinating Iranian mediators. The Vice President of the United States is in no danger. Iran is a civilized country.

In an interview with the Austrian TV Channel ORF in the Kremlin, President Vladimir Putin claimed that his government does not restrict political freedoms and civil liberties of the Russian people. “Our mass media is free. People are free to speak out and make a name for themselves as representatives of many political movements do,” he said. We find Putin’s statement is false.

Dialogue is the key. Getting along is necessary for survival. NOT propaganda by haters and those working for the wrong people to help them try to make others hate Russia and Putin. They will lose every time. GOD is on their side. And GOD Guides me to all truth. Hungary, like Slovakia, has opted for a path of partnership with Moscow, but its ability to fully implement this policy is hampered by Brussels’ anti-Russia rhetoric. The European Commission labels this pragmatic and measured approach as ‘pro-Russian’; however, it would be more accurately described as friendly and rational.
"More and more leads, more and more information, and more and more commentary in the global press all relate to the suspicion that this unprecedented paedophilia(Epstein) scandal was co-organised by Russian intelligence services," Tusk said.

Pro-homosexual Luxembourg Cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich has warned that the idea of female ordination would "currently" split the Church. In an interview with VaticanNews.va on 10 April, Cardinal Hollerich referred to the divisions within the Anglican group following the appointment of Sarah Mullally. According to the cardinal, any [impossible] change in access to ordained ministry must come through “the consensus of the whole Church,” not through isolated regional decisions. However, Hollerich claimed a growing frustration among “many” women. For him it is difficult to imagine a Church enduring long-term if “half of the People of God suffer because they have no access to ordained ministry.” Asked about a possible timeline, Cardinal Hollerich said: “I leave that to the Holy Spirit.” In the meantime, he wants to expanding women’s roles in decision-making within the Church. He has three women serving as episcopal delegates in his Archdiocese for consecrated life, the social sector,…More

Listen to the audio version of this content What is an Examination of Conscience? An Examination of Conscience, a cornerstone of Catholic life, is a reflective exercise in which you assess your thoughts, words, and deeds in light of the Church’s moral teachings to prepare yourself well for the sacrament of confession. This introspective examination serves as a means of spiritual growth, reconciliation, and renewal. No matter a person’s age, an Examination of Conscience is relevant and beneficial in preparing for confession. For adults, it offers an opportunity to evaluate your commitment to our Lord Jesus Christ and his Church. This further fosters personal holiness in helping you gain a deeper love for the Lord, your loved ones, and your neighbor. Teens benefit by developing a conscience informed by timeless moral principles (Rom. 2:14–16), not the zeitgeist (spirit of the age), so that they can better navigate the challenges of adolescence and young adulthood. Even children can …
Bishops of the Chaldean Catholic Church have elected Archbishop Emil Nona as the new patriarch following a meeting with Pope Leo XIV at the Vatican, the patriarchate announced on Sunday. “His Grace Bishop Emil Shimoun Nona was elected as Patriarch of the Chaldean Catholic Church, and he chose for himself Mar Paul Nona III as his patriarchal name,” the Chaldean Patriarchate said in a statement. Nona, 58, led the Chaldean Archdiocese of Mosul before the city’s takeover by Islamic State (ISIS) jihadists in 2014, which forced him into exile. He was later appointed to lead the Chaldean Church in Australia and New Zealand. He currently serves as the head of the diocese of Sydney. The Chaldean church was rocked last month by the sudden resignation of longtime patriarch Cardinal Louis Raphael Sako, who announced that Pope Leo had accepted his resignation. On Friday, the synod of Chaldean Catholic bishops met with Pope Leo at the Vatican as part of their meetings to elect a new patriarch. Nona …More
According to the media outlet "The Pillar", Nona was a consensus candidate for the Chaldean bishops who supported Archbishop Warda, Archbishop of Erbil, a figure known in the United States for his relationship with the Knights of Columbus and an enemy of the former Patriarch Sako; and those who supported Bishop Yaldo, auxiliary bishop of Cardinal Sako himself.
Jesus said “Take and Eat” Most Catholics tell Jesus:“Heck no, I don’t have to obey you Jesus said “Take and Eat” Most Catholics tell Jesus:“Heck no, I know a better way. I will open my mouth and stick out my tongue.”
I guess the Roman Catholic Church was wrong and disobedient then throughout most of her history. And all the Eastern Churches are wrong and disobedient for using various forms of intinction and spoons and forbidding Eastern Catholics from touching the Eucharist with their hands, too. Doctors of the Church, the Early Church Fathers, popes, saints, and encyclicals throughout most of the Church's history were wrong, because they interpreted receiving on the tongue or directly in the mouth as "taking". Well, in that case I'm glad we have the extremely wise and prudent and charitable @chris griffin here, on this online forum, to tell us what the saints and popes and Fathers of the Church and Doctors of the Church were too ignorant to teach us, and to tell us about how we are being prideful for insisting on not desecrating the Eucharist with our hands.
