"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 …ଅଧିକ
The FSPPX chess game that recognizes the 1983 Code of Canon Law just to get a suspension of the sentence. The Lefebvre precedent in 1975 and the moods at the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith (with a doubt about the legitimacy of the appeal's presentation).
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 …ଅଧିକ

French Prime Minister, Sébastien Lecornu, has announced that the government's assisted dying bill will be referred to the Constitutional Council following its expected final approval in the National Assembly on 15 July. This will not prevent the law from being adopted, but it will delay its implementation until the highest constitutional authority in France has ruled on its compliance with the Constitution. Three issues may receive particular scrutiny: - The waiting period until death: Whether a minimum waiting period of two days between approval and confirmation is adequate for such an irreversible decision. - Protected adults: Whether people under guardianship or curatorship are sufficiently protected and capable of giving genuine informed consent. - Conscience clause: Doctors, nurses and healthcare institutions should have sufficient rights to refuse participation. As prime minister, Lecornu should have stopped this project, as he has done with many others. President Emmanuel Macron …ଅଧିକ
Cardinal Müller Misrecites Latin during Ordination: On 4 July, during the ordination of three priests for the Institut du Bon Pasteur in Courtalain, France, Cardinal Müller said "manus" ("hand") instead of "munus" ("office" or "ministry"). The correct wording would have been: "...so that they may persevere in this office."
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 …ଅଧିକ
A few days ago, in a KTV interview regarding the FSSPX, he stated that it was a "liturgical impossibility" for the Superior General, as a priest, to preach before bishops during an episcopal ordination. And yet, he himself utters an incorrect term during the Consecration. Well, as long as no priest preached there, it certainly isn't a "liturgical impossibility" according to the Cardinal's definition....
"One does not care for life by giving death," Father François Yambressinga, parish priest of La Madeleine in Châteaudun, said during his July 5 homily, before the French National Assembly's final vote on legalizing euthanasia tomorrow. He urged the faithful to "pray for life" and to "pray for parliamentarians so that they do not do just anything." Among the congregation was Philippe Vigier, the bill's general rapporteur. He is also the mayor of Châteaudun and a member of the National Assembly for Les Démocrates. Vigier attended the Mass because it was part of the town's annual Foire aux Laines medieval festival. Civic officials appear in costume. He sat in the front row dressed as the fifteenth-century military commander Jean de Dunois. Afterward, Vigier told L'Écho Républicain that he felt personally targeted and "deeply hurt" by the homily. "The priest appealed to the congregation while I had no opportunity to respond. That is unacceptable," he said. According to witnesses cited by …ଅଧିକ
During the Mass on July 5, at the Church of the Madeleine in Châteaudun, Father François Yambressinga condemned the proposed law on assistance in dying in his homily, while Deputy-Mayor Philippe Vigier, co-general rapporteur of the bill, was seated in the front row. The elected official, who said he felt "personally attacked," then spoke with the priest after the celebration. The latter is supported by the Bishop of Chartres.

Traditionis Custodes (2021) deepened wounds and, contrary to what Pope Francis intended, contributed to growing interest in the Roman rite, Archbishop Emeritus Héctor Aguer, 83, of La Plata, Argentina, wrote in a July 13 statement. He notes that the Roman rite is especially popular among the young and contributes to “a good portion of conversions.” “The transmission of the faith,” he adds, “is no longer passed, to a significant degree, from parents to children but from young people to young people.” Monsignor Aguer says that “persecution or the extreme measures of progressivism” will not stop this growing movement. It goes “far beyond mere fashion” - whereas the fashion over the past sixty years has been to turn the Novus Ordo into an anything-goes vehicle of liturgical devastation. He writes that the four Eucharistic Prayers of the Novus Ordo have effectively been displaced by “Eucharistic Prayer Zero” - whatever happens to occur to the celebrant at the moment. In Argentina, the proportion …ଅଧିକ
Archbishop Aguer, Argentina, on the Traditional Mass: “Traditionis Custodes, issued five years ago, far from healing the wounds, only deepened them. And contrary to what its promoter sought, it contributed to a growing interest in Tradition and Orthodoxy, especially among young people. Today, a good portion of conversions occur among those who prefer the ancient rite (of the Mass). And the transmission of the faith, to a great extent, is no longer passed from parents to children, but from young people to young people”
Reports stated that Luni had collided with another vessel several days prior to the sinking. Local officials believe the damage suffered by her hull from that earlier incident ultimately caused her to take on water and break apart. Local media reports stated that the incident occurred at around the same time that explosions were heard around Bandar Abbas and nearby Qeshm Island. However, it has not yet been determined whether these were connected to the sinking. Planes colliding, ships colliding. Who needs to bomb? They do a great job on their own.
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 …ଅଧିକ
Jesus Mosaic from Plastic Bottle Caps: Students from Instituto Nuestra Señora de Lourdes in Buenos Aires, Argentina, have created a mosaic of the face of Jesus using thousands of plastic bottle caps. The face is inspired by Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper. The project was shared by their art teacher, Sebastián Ramírez. He included the phrase "Soli Deo Gloria" ("Glory to God alone") in the post. The students have previously created mosaics honoring Pope Francis, Salvador Dalí, and Lionel Messi.

Bishop Charles Morerod of the Diocese of Lausanne, Geneva and Fribourg, Switzerland, said he no longer sees how a request to use a diocesan church for an FSSPX event could be granted today. He was asked about October 5, 2019, when the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X celebrated its 50th anniversary at St. Maurice Church in Fribourg. Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre opened its first house of formation for seminarians in Fribourg in October 1969 before moving the seminary to Ecône in 1970. Speaking to Cath.ch on July 12, Bishop Morerod explained that his 2019 decision reflected a different moment in the relationship between the Priestly Fraternity and Rome: "When I approved the use of a diocesan church back then, it was done in a spirit of goodwill, at a time when a rapprochement between the FSSPX and Rome was still possible." He added that the FSSPX has "no intention whatsoever of entering into any process of reconciliation." Bishop Morerod said future dialogue would be on different terms:…ଅଧିକ
" Bishop Charles Morerod of the Diocese of Lausanne, Geneva and Fribourg, Switzerland, said he no longer sees how a request to use a diocesan church for an FSSPX event could be granted today." " It will certainly be necessary to begin an ecumenically oriented dialogue with the FSSPX, similar to the one we maintain with other communities that are not in communion with Rome."" --- Bishop Morerod is completely illogical: today - if SSPX is deemed by Post-Conciliar Church in the same position as "ecumenical" "separated brothers" in "imperfect communion" then even basilicas in Rome or even the Lateran cathedral should be granted to them today (cf. Mrs. Sarah last visit in Rome and Anglican "Mass" at Lateran in 2023 as examples).
