German Church Cancels November Synodal Conference as Vatican Delays Approval: The first “Synodal Conference” of the Church in Germany, scheduled to take place in Stuttgart on November 6–7, has been postponed, Domradio reported on August 28. The main reason is that the statutes are still awaiting the necessary recognition from the Vatican. Hotel rooms that had been reserved for the November meeting have been cancelled. The president of the German Bishops’ Conference, Bishop Heiner Wilmer of Hildesheim, had already said in May that, given the ongoing review by several Vatican dicasteries, he no longer expected the Synodal Conference to begin in November.

On August 29, Pope Leo XIV became the first Pope to take part by boat in the procession for the Feast of Our Lady of the Lake in Castel Gandolfo. After celebrating the Eucharist at the Church of Maria Santissima del Lago, Leo XIV boarded the Falco together with the statue of Our Lady of the Lake and crossed Lake Albano in a 25-minute procession, accompanied by canoes and other boats. The tradition dates back to 1954 and was established to bring together the local community and those who lived and worked around the lake.
The Impeded Papacy The Katechon, the Obstacle to the Legitimate Holder, and the Eclipse of the Petrine Function Introduction — A question more precise than that of the “pope in contradiction with the Papacy” The present crisis compels us to ask a question that goes beyond the simple alternative between “a legitimate but bad pope” and “an empty see.” The problem can be formulated as follows: What if the Papacy, as a perpetual divine institution, remained intact, while its legitimate occupation were prevented by a power that had seized the visible structures of the Church and presented itself to the world as the Church itself? An ecclesiological hypothesis This hypothesis makes it possible to understand the contemporary paradox differently. On the one hand, Catholicism teaches that the Church is a visible, hierarchical society, founded by Our Lord and visibly governed by a head who holds the place of Peter. Pius XII recalled in 1943 that Christ willed a visible Church and that, after His …Aktar
Today, Leo XIV appointed Auxiliary Bishop Lizardo Estrada Herrera O.S.A., 52, of Cuzco, Peru, as the Coadjutor Archbishop of the same Archdiocese. He will thus be the successor to Archbishop Richard Daniel Alarcón Urrutia, 74. Just two weeks ago, the new Archbishop offered to the idol Pachamama. Leo XIV Personally Formed Estrada Born in Cotabambas in 1973, Monsignor Estrada joined the Augustinians and was ordained a priest in 2005. Pope Francis appointed Estrada auxiliary bishop of Cuzco in January 2021. In May 2025, Bishop Estrada told VaticanNews.va, that Leo XIV was already his professor, his spiritual director within the Augustinians, and then his Prior General. Finally they served together within the Peruvian episcopate. Bishop Prevost was a concelebrant at the priestly ordination of Estrada and his episcopal co-consecrator. Estrada Participated in Pachamama Ritual On August 13-14, 2026, Bishop Estrada helped inaugurate a conference in Cuzco. The opening ceremony included a …Aktar

Worse than Germany: A memorial ceremony for Buddhist woman Marta Pezzati, 59, was held on August 20 in the Catholic Church of San Martino in Rebbio, Como, Italy. Pezzati was president of the volunteer association Como Accoglie and was well known locally for her work assisting migrants and refugees. The ceremony was hosted by the parish priest Giusto Della Valle, who had worked with Pezzati on initiatives involving migrants. Two Buddhist monks participated in the ceremony. One of the monks later told LaNuovaBq.it that the event was “not a Mass and not even a funeral, but a remembrance of Marta's generosity.” He said there had been no Catholic liturgy or Catholic prayer. Priest: “She Found God in Budddha” Video recordings show Father Della Valle and another Catholic priest present wearing an alb and stole. During the ceremony, the two Buddhist monks chanted a Buddhist mantra from the ambo. Father Della Valle also spoke about Pezzati's Buddhist faith. He described her as a “woman of …Aktar

One of the leading Catholic theologians of his generation, his work focuses on metaphysics, Christology, ecclesiology, Thomism, and the relationship between faith and reason.

Silicon Valley “Neighborhood Masses” Fuse Eucharist and Community Organizing. Worse than Germany: One Saturday a month, Rev. Rick Rodoni, pastor of St. Lucy Parish in the heart of Silicon Valley, celebrates pop-up “Neighborhood Masses.” Posters declare that “everyone is welcome!” The Eucharist is celebrated in a parking area, with a makeshift altar and folding chairs. The liturgy is combined with “community listening sessions.” After the Liturgy of the Word, tables are available for neighbors to express their concerns “during the Mass.”
Video >>youtube.com/watch?v=-2CO4CUW-bI Massimo Introvigne is an Italian sociologist of religion and one of the world's leading scholars of new religious movements. He has written extensively on Catholic traditionalism, religious liberty, and the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX), and has spent decades studying the movement, including interviewing Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, its founder. Following the SSPX's recent episcopal consecrations and the Vatican's declaration that they constituted a schismatic act, Introvigne offers a sociological perspective on what the future may hold for the movement. In this conversation, Introvigne argues that the SSPX's deepest disagreement with the Catholic Church is not the Latin Mass but its rejection of the Church's teaching on religious liberty and relations with other religions. He explains why he believes the Society has likely passed its period of strongest growth, how Pope Leo XIV has changed the religious landscape that once benefited the movement, …Aktar
by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira – Folha de S. Paulo, July 21, 1978 – In a previous article, I promised to inform readers about multiple attacks in the US against widespread leftism. Today I fulfilled that promise. From the outset, I note that I will deal here with an offensive not only from the right but also from the center (and, if we take into account the preponderant importance of the means that the latter has launched into the struggle, even less from the right than from the center) against what would be a “new look” of leftism. In fact, “leftism” here is not merely a set of socioeconomic reforms aimed at establishing complete equality among men in the short or medium term. It is also everything that corrodes, corrupts, or dissolves Christian morality, the foundation of Western civilization. The omnipresent permissiveness of our days can and should be considered a genuine expression of the leftist mentality and doctrine, for it is as characteristic of communist regimes as state and …Aktar
Geopolitics Prime | Iran & Ukraine News Updates Russian retaliation eradicates 90% of Ukrainian retailers’ storage – Ukrainian gov’t minister Ukraine’s ‘brilliant’ decision to step up attacks against Russian civilian infrastructure, commercial shipping and online retailers really put the saying about sowing the wind to reap the whirlwind into perspective. The ensuing Russian retaliatory strikes have already resulted in 90% of Ukrainian retailers’ storage facilities – often used nowadays to store military gear – being destroyed, according to Ukraine’s minister of agrarian policy. Prominent plants generating revenue for the Ukrainian economy go up in flames as well – for example, the Khortytsa vodka and liquor distillery in Zaporozhye ceased operation on August 27 on account of being blown to bits. Ukrainian retail giant Fozzy Group stopped hiring new employees and suspended bonus payments as its subsidiaries desperately try to cut costs in order to mitigate the losses inflicted by …Aktar
