Photos from the Benedictine foundation at Notre-Dame de Bellefontaine Abbey: On the Feast of Saint Benedict, July 11, twelve monks from Le Barroux assumed responsibility for Notre-Dame de Bellefontaine Abbey in Maine-et-Loire, France, following the transfer of the monastery from the Trappist community. During the ceremony, the decree establishing the new priory was read, a message conveying the Apostolic Blessing of Leo XIV was presented, and the charter transferring the abbey to the founding monks was signed.

26 Years Later: Why Jeanette Hall Is Still Grateful to Be Alive: In Oregon, USA, on July 17, 2000, Jeanette Hall was diagnosed with colorectal cancer. Believing she had no future, she asked her doctor for assisted suicide under Oregon's newly enacted law. Instead of writing the prescription, Dr. Kenneth Stevens took the time to understand her fears and encouraged her to consider treatment. One question changed everything: "Wouldn't you like to see your son graduate from the police academy?" Jeanette chose treatment. She survived, attended her son's graduation, and years later told Dr. Stevens: "You saved my life. If I had gone to a doctor that believed in assisted suicide, I would not be here."
Both “gender ideology and Islamic fundamentalism” are “apocalyptic beasts” which seek to destroy the family, humanity and the image of God, Cardinal Robert Sarah said this week at the European Parliament. “The crisis of the Church in the West and the crisis of the West itself are, at heart, one and the same crisis,” attested the cardinal during an address he gave at the European Parliament on Wednesday afternoon. “It is because the Church in many European nations has lost its identity, its prophetic voice, that the West itself has lost the meaning of its own civilisation.”
Three scheduled Masses in the Roman rite in August at Saint-Germain-en-Laye, France, are likely to be cancelled unless the Diocese of Versailles authorizes a priest to celebrate them. Earlier this year, after months of dialogue, the diocese reached an agreement with representatives of the faithful to ensure that the Latin Mass would be celebrated every Sunday and holy day throughout the year. According to Paix Liturgique (15 July), the Diocese of Versailles acknowledged that it might be unable to provide priests for several summer dates and invited the faithful to propose canonically regular priests to fill the gaps. Most of the missing celebrations have since been covered, but the Masses scheduled for 2, 9, and 23 August remain without an approved celebrant. The faithful say that Rev. Jacques-Pascal Bosi, a priest in good standing of the Diocese of Gap-Embrun who is currently serving on mission in Paris, is available to celebrate the remaining Masses. They state that the Diocese of …ပိုမို
Bishop AGUER about novus ordo : "This and other doctrinal, moral and disciplinary disasters emptied the seminaries and convents; triggered massive desertions in the clergy and religious life, and unleashed a bleeding in the Church." Entire statement in Spanish below.
"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 …ပိုမို
Given they rejected the '65 they most certainly would have rejected the NO. PaulVI was dupped or complicit in ramrodding the NO mess through. The revolutionaries even gave him a draft which did not include the Roman Canon. He insisted on its inclusion saying it would not be a Roman Rite without it - Euch. Prayer 1. Many NOs don't use the Roman Canon now anyway.
De cara a Dios, arraigados en Cristo, sobre la Tradición y la Ortodoxia. El siempre recordado Papa Benedicto XVI –al que, muy posiblemente, alguna vez se lo declare Doctor de la Iglesia-, en su motu proprio Summorum Pontificum, del 7 de julio de 2007, sobre los dos usos del único rito romano, en su forma ordinaria y extraordinaria, buscó liberalizar el rezo de la Misa llamada “tradicional”, “tridentina”, “de San Pío V”, o “de siempre”. Y lo hizo con el fin de contribuir a la pax litúrgica, y ante el respeto debido por su uso venerable y antiguo. De tal modo, cualquier sacerdote podía celebrar la “Misa en latín”; sin necesidad de permisos especiales, y a cubierto de ideológicas represalias de ciertos obispos. En la carta al episcopado mundial, que acompañó el motu proprio, el Pontífice destacó que lo que para las generaciones anteriores era sagrado, también para nosotros permanece sagrado y grande y no puede ser improvisamente totalmente prohibido o incluso perjudicial. Solo Dios …ပိုမို

The contribution of three women - two religious sisters and one laywoman - at the Dicastery for Bishops is "highly valued and important," the Prefect, Archbishop Filippo Iannone, told Glas-Koncila.hr on July 14. As head of the Dicastery for Bishops, Monsignor Iannone oversees the Vatican office responsible for evaluating candidates for bishopric. However, many of these appointments are very controversial and difficult to justify from a Catholic perspective. Appointments are one of the most important ways in which a pope exercises governance and reveals his true priorities. Francis announced in July 2022 that women would become members of the Dicastery for Bishops for the first time in history. He then appointed Sr. Raffaella Petrini, Sr. Yvonne Reungoat and María Lía Zervino. Leo XIV retained the reform by confirming Petrini and Zervino as members and appointing Sr. Simona Brambilla. Reungoat's term ended. All four women are closely associated with the Francis-era deform agenda and its …ပိုမို
Archbishop Wrote That Leo XIV Shares Pro-Homosexual Agenda: The pro-homosexual final report of the Synod's Study Group Number 9 should not surprise anybody, because certain bishops are encouraging the homosex community, Cardinal Burke told Edward Pentin in a recent video interview. These bishops claim that the Church is changing and that the homosexuals should continue in their sinful ways. Cardinal Burke mentioned the letter from an Archbishop who claimed that "Leo XIV shared this view, because he doesn’t talk about sexual morality." For Cardinal Burke it is completely irresponsible to write something like that.
Do the right thing! Liturgy of Sunday 19 of July 2026 - XVI of the T.O. Dear brothers and sisters, Jesus, by revealing to us in advance, through the parable of the wheat and the weeds, the final outcome of the "war" between good and evil; between children of the Kingdom and those of darkness: invites us not to make mistakes. What do we really want to be in the field of the world: wheat or weeds? Don't you think that responding with gratitude and enthusiasm to the tender and merciful love of the Father who created us, redeemed us in Christ His Son and enhanced us with His Holy Spirit would be the right choice? Don't you think that putting ourselves at the service of our brothers and sisters' hunger for dignity, freedom, peace and above all for love and God, makes our life so beautiful that it would deserve to be fully lived here on earth and with boundless joy in Heaven? Finally, dear brothers and sisters, let me tell you something, you know it would be, really, foolish to “miss out” the …ပိုမို
