Pro-homosexual Archbishop John C. Wester of Santa Fe, New Mexico, defended "our Muslim neighbors' right to worship" in a July 27 statement. He had heard in recent weeks concerns from some residents regarding the proposal to build a mosque and community center in Albuquerque's North Valley. "Our Muslim neighbors have the same God-given and constitutionally protected right to worship freely as every other faith community, including our own. Defending that right is not only a civic duty but a core element of Catholic teaching", the Archbishop wrote. According to Monsignor Wester, supporting the construction of a mosque is entirely consistent with Catholic tradition and moral commitments. He urged Catholics to "choose respect, dialogue, and peaceful coexistence." In 2025, it emerged that, Archbishop Wester promoted and lived with a priest who had spent ten years in a registered homosexual relationship. Picture: AI, #newsXofkbkkgnx
The US used to have a Bill of Rights (abrogated in Oct 2001). I think the Archbishop is talking politics. He should stick to his profession and focus on saving souls.

Pilgrims Celebrate Outdoor Dawn Mass Instead of Basilica Liturgy at Covadonga: At dawn today, pilgrims of the sixth Our Lady of Christendom Pilgrimage in Spain celebrated a traditional outdoor Mass at their campsite in Sevares, Asturias. The Mass was not allowed in the Basilica of Covadonga. After Mass, the pilgrims continued on foot to Covadonga, where they concluded with prayer and the singing of the Te Deum before the Blessed Sacrament.

Uskup Agung John C. Wester dari Santa Fe, New Mexico, yang mendukung kaum homoseksual, membela “hak tetangga-tetangga Muslim kita untuk beribadah” dalam sebuah pernyataan pada 27 Juli. Dalam beberapa pekan terakhir, ia telah mendengar kekhawatiran dari sejumlah warga terkait usulan pembangunan masjid dan pusat komunitas di kawasan North Valley, Albuquerque. "Tetangga-tetangga Muslim kita memiliki hak yang sama, yang diberikan oleh Tuhan dan dilindungi konstitusi, untuk beribadah secara bebas seperti komunitas agama lainnya, termasuk komunitas kita sendiri. Membela hak tersebut bukan hanya kewajiban sipil, tetapi juga merupakan unsur inti dari ajaran Katolik," tulis Uskup Agung tersebut. Menurut Monsignor Wester, mendukung pembangunan masjid sepenuhnya sejalan dengan tradisi Katolik dan komitmen moral. Ia mendesak umat Katolik untuk “memilih rasa hormat, dialog, dan hidup berdampingan secara damai.” Pada tahun 2025, terungkap bahwa Uskup Agung Wester mendukung dan tinggal bersama seorang …Lebih
A 31-year-old Polish man, identified by regional media as Bartłomiej Włodzimierz Krakowiak, has been arrested for vandalizing the Marian shrine of Medjugorje during the night of 27–28 July, just days before Mladifest, which is expected to attract around 50,000 young pilgrims. "Medjugorje Is a Deception" The suspect allegedly poured black paint over statues of the Virgin Mary on Apparition Hill and at the Blue Cross, wrote "Devil in a skirt" on one statue. He hung banners accusing the six visionaries of being "frauds - I have proof", spray-painted slogans including "Medjugorje is a deception," "Only Jesus," and "Mary = devil," and set fire to the recently renovated outdoor altar behind St. James Church. He was arrested hours later in Černo, near Ljubuški, heading toward the Croatian border. Former Pilgrim The case is particularly striking because the suspect had previously visited Medjugorje as a pilgrim. Regional media report that in 2017 he walked 1,300 km from Warsaw to the shrine, …Lebih
Thanks for the post. I wonder... (wild speculation) if the White House meeting discussion was leaked. (Most certainly China and possibly Russia can do this.) Iran may know Bibi's strategy and decided not to wait for the Israeli "Axis of Epstein" to rearm.
The Vatican has published new guidelines today, "Recollecting: Accompanying the Preparation of the Local Church's Evaluation Assembly," for the next stage of the Synod on Synodality. Every diocese is required to hold evaluation assemblies during the first half of 2027 to assess how the Synod's Final Document has been implemented. Bishops will lead the evaluation, establish or reactivate synodal teams, and approve a six- to eight-page narrative report to be submitted to Rome. They are also instructed to describe "transformations in decision-making processes, and reforms of structures" as part of their narrative report. Interreligious synodality Each diocese will also hold an evaluation assembly using the method of "conversation in the Spirit." The guidelines state that dioceses should consider inviting "representatives of other Christian Churches and communities or other religions as observers." Lay access to "leadership roles" The document repeatedly says synodality is not a temporary …Lebih
Fr. Fliss is not some random cleric. He is the PASTOR of Ss. Cyril and Methodius, home of the ICKSP in Wisconsin! According to him, the TLM "does not share equal status and dignity as the Mass of Paul VI" and is "a step backward in [the] faith and spiritual life." Tick tock!
@Lisi Sterndorfer I feel that Father Fliss took a "cheap shot" (made a disparaging remark) when he said, "for those who have not grown deep enough in faith"
"That there is an unparalleled crisis within the Church, that said crisis sees the genuine Catholic Tradition overwhelmed by heterodox doctrines (modernism and neo-modernism), that this crisis is a doctrinal crisis, liturgical and moral, that this crisis involves the ecclesial body (descent and teacher) up to the Roman See is not something to be demonstrated but only to be ascertained;" The Group of Nine (theologians) November 30, 2023
Around 500 nude volunteers gathered outside the Cathedral of Santa Ana in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain, on Sunday for a photographic installation by American artist Spencer Tunick as part of the Culture & Business Pride festival. Participants, painted in the rainbow colors, posed in front of the cathedral on the feast of St. Anne, the city's patron saint. The project was planned in advance as an official festival event, with backing from local tourism and government bodies. Organizers said the artwork celebrated diversity and homosexuality. According to El País, the local bishop, Monsignor José Mazuelos, said he did not object to the nude performance in front of his cathedral: "I have no problem. When we go to the beach, we see naked bodies, don't we?" His complaint was instead about access restrictions that temporarily delayed clergy and parishioners attending the 10 a.m. Eucharist. He also described the event as "marketing for the city," adding he supported it insofar as it promoted …Lebih
Pawai kaum homoseksual di Berlin, “Christopher Street Day”, merupakan “perayaan yang penuh kegembiraan dan mengharukan.” Demikian disampaikan Uskup Agung Berlin Heiner Koch, yang mendukung kaum homoseksual, kepada KNA pada hari Minggu. Pernyataan itu ia sampaikan setelah terjadi serangan terhadap pawai tersebut pada Sabtu malam. Seorang wanita tewas, dan setidaknya 31 orang lainnya terluka, beberapa di antaranya dalam kondisi serius. Pelaku serangan, Abdul B., 21 tahun, menabrakkan mobilnya ke kerumunan dan kemudian—secara kebetulan bagi sistem peradilan dan para politisi—ditembak mati selama operasi kepolisian. Konteks lengkap pernyataan Uskup Agung Koch adalah: “Betapa mengerikan! Menghancurkan perayaan yang begitu penuh kegembiraan dan mengharukan dengan cara yang brutal. Kami mendoakan semua korban, keluarga mereka, teman-teman, dan semua orang yang kegembiraannya telah dirampas oleh kebencian. Kebencian tidak boleh menang.” Abdul B. lahir di Berlin pada tahun 2005 dan dibesarkan di …Lebih
150-Page Dossier at the Heart of the Rupnik Case: PerMariam.com has published a timeline of the Marko Rupnik case. One detail stands out: the Jesuits compiled a 150-page dossier documenting alleged abuse by Fr. Marko Rupnik between 1985 and 2018. According to his former Jesuit superior, the credibility of these reported events is "very high."
Berlin’s homosex march 'Christopher Street Day' is a “joyful and moving celebration.” That is what pro-homosexual Archbishop Heiner Koch of Berlin told KNA on Sunday. He spoke after an attack on the march on Saturday evening. One woman was killed, and at least 31 others were injured, some of them seriously. The attacker, Abdul B., 21, drove a car into the crowd and was later - conveniently for the justice system and politicians - shot dead during a police operation. The full context of Archbishop Koch's statement is: "How terrible! To brutally destroy such a joyful and moving celebration. We keep all the victims, their families, friends, and everyone whose joy has been taken away by hatred in our prayers. Hatred must not prevail." Abdul B. was born in Berlin in 2005 and grew up there. His parents are from Lebanon, and he held German citizenship. His family belongs to a large extended clan. He had been known to the security authorities for years and was considered part of the Islamist …Lebih

When he was in the KGB he found that they were planning a coup to replace the President. He said, oh! no, that's not for me. He said, anyone that the people voted for he will not have a thing to do with replacing. He will accept the people's choice. He left and went into politics and he turned to Orthodoxy.
That under Pope Francis "certain difficulties and troubles became evident" is "undeniable." So said Archbishop Georg Gänswein, who turns 70 on Thursday, in an interview published by Katholisch.de on July 27. Monsignor Gänswein believes Leo XIV recognizes these problems and is addressing them. In Germany, the chief concern of Monsignor Gänswein remains the "Synodal Way": "The tensions surrounding the Synodal Way and various initiatives that break away from the Catholic faith continue to exist and await a final resolution. For many Catholics in Germany who simply want to live their faith, this is a millstone around their neck." Contradicting his own criticism, however, Archbishop Gänswein said he has "a good impression" of the new president of the German bishops' conference, Bishop Heiner Wilmer of Münster. He is a leading supporter of and affirmative voter for the German Synodal Way. #newsWbfhggjvyv
“My concern centres on that unwieldy term, the ‘Synodal Path’,” Archbishop Gänswein said. “Fruitless debates about structures and similar issues tie up vital energy in the wrong areas.”
