Pope Leo XIV is willing to speak with Trump - but Trump has to make the call. In a July 3 interview with Piers Morgan, Louis Prevost, the pope’s older brother and an outspoken Trump supporter, said he had asked Leo XIV whether he’d speak to President Trump. Leo XIV replied: “Sure, if you want, but he has to call me.” Prevost explained: “That’s a Vatican rule. You have to request from the Pope. The Pope doesn’t go.”

Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke celebrated a Pontifical High Mass according to the traditional Roman rite at the Church of Our Lady (Onze Lieve Vrouwekerk) on the Keizersgracht in Amsterdam on September 5. Hundreds of Catholics attended and then processed through the Dutch capital to pray the Rosary publicly in Vondelpark. Cardinal Willem Eijk of Utrecht and Bishop Jan Hendriks of Haarlem-Amsterdam were also present.

Van Rijn described Cardinal Burke’s presence and the opportunity to attend the Mass as “a unique chance.” In Vondelpark, hundreds gathered around the statue of the Blessed Virgin carried in the procession.

Wars and rumors of wars... And Jesus answering, said to them: Take heed that no man seduce you: 5 For many will come in my name saying, I am Christ: and they will seduce many. 6 And you shall hear of wars and rumours of wars. See that ye be not troubled. For these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be pestilences, and famines, and earthquakes in places: 8 Now all these are the beginnings of sorrows. 9 THEN SHALL THEY DELIVER YOU UP TO BE AFFLICTED, AND SHALL PUT YOU TO DEATH: and you shall be HATED by all nations for my name's sake. 10 And then shall many be scandalized: and shall betray one another: and shall hate one another. 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall seduce many. 12 And because iniquity hath abounded, the charity of many shall grow cold. 13 But he that shall PERSEVERE to the end, he shall be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom, shall be preached …ਹੋਰ
Dominic Auricchio says he first felt called to the priesthood at age 4, after a dream in which he says God spoke to him. Five years later, doctors discovered a mass in his brain. In 2023, Dominic says he had a vision of a woman he believes was the Virgin Mary, who told him everything would be OK. A subsequent scan showed the mass had begun to shrink, and surgery was no longer considered necessary. His mother believes God healed him. Medication may have contributed to the improvement. Now 13, Dominic remains active in his Catholic parish and says he hopes to join the Marines before pursuing the priesthood.

The Crusader of the 20th Century - Chap. III, 6. Eucharistic Congress of 1942 A few months later the archbishop of São Paulo died. His successor, Archbishop José Gaspar de Afonseca e Silva,54 was a very different person. If Archbishop Leopoldo e Silva’s character was that of a man who was unflinching, who commanded respect and even fear, Archbishop José Gaspar’s nature was pleasant and attractive. It was not always easy to understand his real thoughts and interpret his choices, which were often inspired by a strong sense of politics and diplomacy. His first actions did not fail to arouse surprise. On 11 March 1940 he entrusted Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira with the most prestigious of roles: that of President of the Archdiocesan Council of Catholic Action of São Paulo. During the same period Father de Castro Mayer was nominated Assistant-General of Catholic Action of São Paulo, while Father de Proença Sigaud was appointed Archdiocesan Assistant of the male and female Student Youth.

Two pastors in South Korea have been fined 1 million won (about €620) each after loudly preaching on a domestic flight from Jeju to Seoul. They shouted that passengers would “go to hell” if they did not believe in Jesus, while one moved around the cabin. They continued despite instructions from the cabin crew to stop. A Seoul court found that their conduct constituted a disturbance under South Korea’s Aviation Security Act.
The court said the 64-year-old pastor stood in the aisle despite repeated attempts by crew members to stop him and shouted at passengers, “You will go to hell if you don’t believe in Jesus.”
Enzo Bianchi, founder of the Monastic Community of Bose, died at the Molinette Hospital in Turin at the age of 83 after kidney failure led to a metabolic coma. Bianchi was a monk but never became a priest. A prolific author, he wrote extensively on Scripture, spirituality and contemporary Christianity. He addressed Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox audiences and became a regular interlocutor of secular intellectuals and non-believers.

After the 2018 Sino-Vatican agreement “terrible things happen to Catholics” in the Fujian province, an anonymous Chinese bishop who is unaffiliated with the Chinese state church ‘Patriotic Association’, told Anthony Clark for CatholicWorldReport.com on August 23. The bishop speaks of a “state of emergency”. As government influence over the bishops increases, “the integrity of the Catholic faith will suffer.” To “assure the survival of China’s Church,” new bishops have been “secretly consecrated.” The bishop says the faithful question Rome’s genuine concern for their “spiritual well-being” when the Holy See approves government-selected bishops whom they regard as too reliable to the state. The number is unknown, but he suggested that “at least ten new bishops” were consecrated for the underground community in the Fujian province. #newsTzdkbhbakv

The Civil Constitution of the Clergy, a law of the French Revolution, established many things fervently promoted by progressivists, such as organizing the Church as a republic. Those 191 priests chose to die precisely not to compromise with the errors of the French Revolution in this matter. The Catholic Church canonized those 191 martyrs together.

On August 28, the U.S. Justice Department released a 231-page report on the FBI’s 2023 Richmond Catholic memo, including evidence of surveillance of traditionalist Catholic clergy. The FBI investigated two priests and conducted surveillance connected to them. One belonged to the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X (FSSPX); the other, his uncle, was associated with SSPX Resistance and had been ordained by Bishop Richard Williamson. Agents researched travel and credit-card records. FBI personnel in Boston surveilled the second priest at the airport, while Customs and Border Protection questioned him and searched his phone. Both investigations were subsequently closed after the FBI found no identified national-security threat and no alleged violation of federal law. Among the exhibits in the DOJ report is an FBI PowerPoint titled “Traditionalist Catholicism Overview” - essentially a rudimentary guide to the various traditionalist Catholic groups and sects. Remarkably, the presentation included …ਹੋਰ

The Universal Call to Christian Perfection A Patristic and Scholastic Essay Poverty, Chastity, and Obedience as the Means to Perfect Charity perfection_essay_v4 (1) (1) PREFACE: THE FALSE ASSUMPTION There is an error of comfort that has always threatened the Church from within — more dangerous in many respects than the errors that attack her from without, because it does not announce itself as error but settles quietly into the assumptions of ordinary Christian life and makes itself at home there, undisturbed and unexamined, generation after generation. It is the assumption that not every baptized soul is called to Christian Perfection. This error takes many forms. It presents itself as realism — an honest acknowledgment that most people are not monks or nuns and cannot be expected to live as though they were. It presents itself as pastoral charity — a merciful lowering of the bar for souls who are, after all, doing their best in difficult circumstances. It presents itself as theological …ਹੋਰ
When the generation of the ’68ers passes away, the unfounded, one-sided attitudes against Latin and Gregorian chant will pass away as well, Cardinal Robert Sarah told IlGiornale.it on August 27. Benedict XVI’s liberalization of the Traditional Latin Mass had a positive and even corrective influence on abuses in the celebration of the Novus Ordo, Cardinal Sarah said. “Many priests testify that discovering the Extraordinary Form helped them to celebrate better.” Furthermore, the faithful could choose which form corresponded more closely to the fostering of the faith. “But all of this was brought to an abrupt end by Traditionis Custodes while the Pope Emeritus was still alive.” Francis’ restrictions on the Latin Mass were “neither a wise nor a respectful choice.” Cardinal Sarah added that access to “ritual forms that have existed for centuries can never be artificially restricted by decrees.” Without referring explicitly to the Novus Ordo, Sarah noted that a rite that did not serve the …ਹੋਰ
