Today, Cardinal Robert Sarah delivered an address at the European Parliament in Brussels. He noted that the European Union uses development aid and international agreements to export abortion and gender ideology to African nations. He spoke of "ideological colonization", arguing that modern Europe increasingly seeks to influence African legislation through trade agreements, development assistance, and diplomatic pressure. Words Have a Meaning Opening his address, Sarah questioned whether Europe and Africa still share a common understanding of the language that dominates international diplomacy. "Can we still understand each other? Do the words we use - human rights, dignity, development, freedom, health, gender, family - still mean the same thing to those who pronounce them in Brussels, Strasbourg, Kampala, or Conakry?" Inconsistency Is Deliberate One of his examples is the expression “sexual and reproductive health” that often means abortion. Another example is the term “gender equality …Lebih
Uskup Hieronymus Emusugut Joya dari Maralal, Kenya, telah menangguhkan tugas enam imam keuskupan sebagai bagian dari serangkaian langkah-langkah besar-besaran. Langkah-langkah tersebut bertujuan untuk memperkuat disiplin dan akuntabilitas keuangan. Penangguhan tersebut dilakukan menyusul tuduhan penyalahgunaan wewenang gerejawi, kelalaian administratif, dan pengelolaan aset Gereja yang tidak tepat. Saat mengumumkan keputusan tersebut dalam Misa pada 12 Juli, Uskup Joya menyatakan bahwa ia baru bertindak setelah menerima bukti yang dapat dipercaya. Penangguhan ini berdampak pada sebagian besar klerus keuskupan tersebut. Didirikan oleh Santo Yohanes Paulus II pada tahun 2001, keuskupan ini memiliki 15 paroki yang dilayani oleh 30 imam keuskupan. Seiring dengan penangguhan tersebut, Uskup Joya memperkenalkan serangkaian arahan disiplin dan administratif bagi para imam, termasuk: - Para imam wajib kembali ke tempat tinggal mereka paling lambat pukul 19.00 untuk doa malam. - Para imam wajib …Lebih

Today, Leo XIV accepted the resignation of Italian born Bishop Antonio Santarsiero Rosa, 75, of Huacho, Peru. No successor was appointed. The resignation follows allegations of homosexual misconduct. In April 2026, InfoVaticana.com had reported that complaints had been submitted to the Apostolic Nunciature in Lima and to the Vatican, accusing Santarsiero of homosexually abusing a former minor seminarian and a priest who had served as his secretary. As usual, Santarsiero has categorically denied all allegations. The seminarian claimed Santarsiero subjected him to unwanted sexual contact and used promises of scholarships, employment, and opportunities within the diocese to exercise influence over him. The former secretary to Santarsiero alleges that the bishop subjected him to unwanted physical contact and psychological manipulation. According to the dossier, the priest also claims Santarsiero attempted to discredit him by spreading claims about his sexual orientation after he rejected …Lebih
Hari ini, Leo XIV menerima pengunduran diri Uskup Antonio Santarsiero Rosa (75), kelahiran Italia, dari Keuskupan Huacho, Peru. Belum ada penggantinya yang ditunjuk. Pengunduran diri ini terjadi menyusul tuduhan perilaku tidak pantas terkait homoseksual. Pada April 2026, InfoVaticana.com melaporkan bahwa pengaduan telah diajukan ke Nunsiatur Apostolik di Lima dan ke Vatikan, yang menuduh Santarsiero melakukan pelecehan seksual terhadap seorang mantan seminaris muda dan seorang imam yang pernah menjabat sebagai sekretarisnya. Seperti biasa, Santarsiero dengan tegas membantah semua tuduhan tersebut. Siswa seminari tersebut mengklaim bahwa Santarsiero telah melakukan kontak seksual yang tidak diinginkan terhadapnya dan menggunakan janji beasiswa, pekerjaan, serta peluang di dalam keuskupan untuk memengaruhi dirinya. Mantan sekretaris Santarsiero menuduh bahwa uskup tersebut telah melakukan kontak fisik yang tidak diinginkan dan manipulasi psikologis terhadapnya. Menurut berkas tersebut, …Lebih
"It is obviously possible to be fully Catholic while living the sacramental life according to the books of 1962. It is absolutely unacceptable to affirm the contrary", Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke told the organisers of the Chartres pilgrimage ‘Notre-Dame de Chrétienté’ in a July 14 YouTube.com video. And: "The liturgy according to the usus antiquior of the Roman Rite is an inestimable treasure of the Church which must be preserved and cherished because it is intimately linked to the very identity of the Roman Catholic Church." Cardinal Burke argued that the Roman rite has proven to be a powerful instrument of evangelization: “It is evident that this liturgy is missionary," he said. "This is seen by its fruits today as in centuries past, because it attracts through its sense of the sacred and transcendence." He added that this is "particularly evident with the younger generation," which he said has "a profound hunger for the spiritual in an increasingly horizontal world." Vatican II …Lebih
He speaks with forked tongue. Because it's not just about the Liturgy. It's also about VCII and the gross apostasy and heresies running rampant throughout the Church; and the abandonment of the Deposit of Faith by her leadership.
Bishop Hieronymus Emusugut Joya of Maralal, Kenya, has suspended six diocesan priests as part of a sweeping package of measures. They are aimed at strengthening discipline and financial accountability. The suspensions follow allegations of abuse of ecclesiastical authority, administrative negligence, and the mismanagement of Church property. Announcing the decision during Mass on 12 July, Bishop Joya said he had acted only after receiving credible evidence. The suspensions affect a significant proportion of the diocese's clergy. Established by St. John Paul II in 2001, the diocese has 15 parishes served by 30 diocesan priests. Alongside the suspensions, Bishop Joya introduced a series of disciplinary and administrative directives for clergy, including: - Priests must return to their residences by 7:00 p.m. for evening prayer. - Priests require the bishop's permission to spend the night away from their residence. - No lay person may stay overnight in a priest's residence without prior …Lebih

The controversial organisation Amnesty International UK published a report on 8 July listing the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales among 117 organizations it described as part of an “anti-rights movement” in the United Kingdom. The report, A Growing Threat: the Anti-Rights Movement in the UK, said the listed organizations formed an ecosystem seeking to undermine the rights of women and homosexuals. It also named the Catholic Medical Association, Premier Christian News, J.K. Rowling’s women-only support service Beira’s Place, and a number of Christian, pro-life, and gender-critical organizations. The report defined “anti-rights actors” as groups, individuals, and public or private bodies seeking to weaken human rights protections in law and practice. The publication drew criticism from a number of the organizations named. Two days after publication, Amnesty International UK withdrew the report. It said the document had been published without passing the organization's …Lebih
Kardinal Müller Salah Mengucapkan Kata dalam Bahasa Latin saat Upacara Penahbisan: Pada tanggal 4 Juli, saat upacara penahbisan tiga imam untuk Institut du Bon Pasteur di Courtalain, Prancis, Kardinal Müller mengucapkan "manus" ("tangan") alih-alih "munus" ("jabatan" atau "pelayanan"). Ungkapan yang benar seharusnya adalah: "...agar mereka dapat tetap teguh dalam jabatan ini."
Cardinal Müller said "manus" instead of "munus. Müller was supposed to say: “Da, quæsumus, omnipotens Pater, in hos famulos tuos Presbyterii dignitatem; innova in visceribus eorum Spiritum sanctitatis, ut acceptum a Te, Deus, secundi meriti munus obtineant, censuramque morum exemplo suæ conversationis insinuent.” (“Grant, we beseech Thee, Almighty Father, invest these Thy servants with the dignity of the Priesthood; do Thou renew in their hearts the spirit of holiness, so that they may persevere in this office, which is next to ours in dignity, since they have received it from Thee, O God. May the example of their lives lead others to moral uprightness.”) Instead, Müller actually said: “Da, quæsumus, omnipotens Pater, in hos famulos tuos Presbyterii dignitatem; innova in visceribus eorum Spiritum sanctitatis, ut acceptum a Te, Deus, secundi meriti manus obtineant, censuramque morum exemplo suæ conversationis insinuent.” (“Grant, we beseech Thee, Almighty Father, invest these Thy servants …Lebih
1) Revelation 16:13-14, 16; And I saw three unclean spirits that looked like frogs come out of the mouth of the Dragon, out of the mouth of the Beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. They are spirits of demons, performing signs, and they go out to the kings of the whole world to gather them for the great battle on the Great Day of God Almighty. They summoned them to the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon. 2) How did it all start? a) Ezekiel 28:14-15, 18; I had made you an anointed cherub, a protector with outstretched wings; you were on God’s holy mountain, walking among fiery stones. You were blameless in your conduct from the day you were created until the day iniquity was found in you. Your heart has grown swollen with pride on account of your beauty. You have corrupted your wisdom owing to your splendor. I have thrown you to the ground; b) Isaiah 14:13-15; You who said in your heart, “I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit on …Lebih
Conference during the Congress of the Third Order of Carmel, in Sao Paulo, November 15th 1958 (*) by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira The topic I was given to speak about at this brilliant congress of the Third Order of Carmel is “the scapular and profession in the Third Order of Carmel constitute principally an act of consecration to Our Lady. This truth must be spread with great zeal for a deeper and more perfect knowledge of the Carmelite spirituality.” The statement of thesis manifests the praiseworthy purpose of avoiding that the Third Order of Carmel remains just in externals. In effect, the scapular is a tangible object that symbolizes in a very sensitive way our connection to Our Lady. But it is precisely because this symbol represents those qualities that certain spirits easily fall into the idea that its mere ownership and use are enough to maintain a connection to Our Lady. Also the profession in the Third Order of Carmel, habitually done in such a solemn and festive way, speaks …Lebih
