A Secretariat of State letter dated September 30, signed by Archbishop Paolo Rudelli and published by Diane Montagna, confirms that the Vatican rejected a request by organizers of the Ad Petri Sedem pilgrimage. Having already been denied permission to celebrate a traditional Latin Mass in St. Peter’s Basilica, the organizers instead requested permission to enter in procession, pray above the tomb of St. Peter, and adore the Blessed Sacrament. The Basilica’s sacristy had indicated that 1 p.m. would be possible, subject to approval by the Secretariat of State. The Vatican’s response: “Reverend Father, In response to your letter of 8 September concerning the international Ad Petri Sedem pilgrimage, I inform you that it is not possible to grant your request. Please accept, Reverend Father, the expression of my religious and devoted regards. † Paolo Rudelli” #newsPnguweoskc
LiveLeak Huge clashes in Tirana, #Albania. Protesters attack police with fireworks. The situation in Tirana has completely spiraled out of control. Mass student protests have been ongoing for 12 days. —— In solidarity with the students, the Democratic Party (DP) held its own march, led by deputies Flamur Noka and Agron Gjekmarkaj. Demonstrators began their action in front of the government building, where they burned wooden chairs that Prime Minister Edi Rama had placed earlier as an invitation to "dialogue." This time Rama went further and set up a stone table on the street with the inscription "dialogue," but protesters destroyed this installation as well.

No alternatives dates were offered to the Summorum Pontificum Mass and the previously granted permission was withdrawn. Edward Pentin reports on X.com that organisers of the annual Summorum Pontificum pilgrimage were not offered an alternative date to celebrate Mass in St Peter’s Basilica. He added that the Vatican’s August 7 letter simply stated that the basilica was unavailable, without mentioning any conflicting events. In recent days, it has been argued that the Franciscan anniversary celebrations in St Peter's basilica had been planned for years. @Michael Haynes wrote that the specific event at the Altar of the Chair was announced only in September, after the pilgrimage’s request for Mass had been refused in August. As for the prohibited procession, customary security restrictions have been cited as an excuse. Yet Haynes reports that permission to process into the Vatican had already been granted in April, only to be withdrawn the day before the pilgrimage. #newsUhvemzsmjm
Archbishop Jeffrey Grob of Milwaukee apologized on Sunday for praying over President Trump in the Oval Office last week, and he accused the White House of posting video of the prayer without the bishops’ consent.
Leo XIV will reportedly receive three years of cancer immunotherapy despite an earlier Vatican statement to the contrary. Pope Leo XIV will receive preventive immunotherapy with pembrolizumab for at least three years to reduce the risk of cancer returning, journalist Mirticeli Medeiros of GloboNews reported on October 23. He referred to sources at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital. The Pope will not undergo chemotherapy or radiotherapy. The report contradicts an official statement issued just two days earlier. On October 21, the Holy See Press Office announced that the Pope’s doctors had concluded that no further treatment was necessary following his lung cancer surgery. Surgeons removed the lower lobe of the Pope’s right lung during an operation on October 13. According to Medeiros, the tumour measured 2.5 centimetres and tested positive for PD-L1, a protein that can help cancer cells evade the immune system. Pembrolizumab works by helping the immune system recognise and attack cancer cells. The …ਹੋਰ

Poor beautiful Italy. Did the people actually vote for this? Or was it forced on them? Was there a vote? Was it fixed? I don't believe the Italian people wanted this.
European political elites are deliberately organizing Muslim immigration: “These are generally not refugees, but deliberately orchestrated and organized measures by European political elites to bring a Muslim population into Europe.”
Bishops have been promoting the Islamization of Europe for decades under the pretext of charity, Bishop Athanasius Schneider told Gloria.tv (German video below). He accused these bishops of “cowardice” for failing to profess their Christian and Catholic identity. According to Schneider, European political elites are deliberately organizing Muslim immigration: “These are generally not refugees, but deliberately orchestrated and organized measures by European political elites to bring a Muslim population into Europe.” Schneider described Islam as “totalitarian” and “anti-Christian.” Building large mosques amounts to propaganda for a religion that is not willed by God. Bishop Schneider also condemned interreligious dialogue, as exemplified by the 2019 Abu Dhabi Document, as “a betrayal of the mission of the Gospel, which God Himself, Jesus Christ, entrusted to us.” Schneider criticized the practice of placing all religions on an equal footing, even visually, as though one could “choose a …ਹੋਰ
FSSPX to Continue Lourdes Pilgrimage Despite Bishop’s Restrictions The Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (SSPX) has announced that it will continue its annual pilgrimage to Lourdes. Following the episcopal consecrations on July 1 in Ecône, Bishop Jean-Marc Micas of Tarbes and Lourdes withdrew permission for the SSPX to celebrate public Masses, administer sacraments, or organize public prayers at Lourdes. In an August 22 statement, Fr. Gonzague Peignot, superior of the FSSPX in France, announced that the Fraternity intends to continue coming to Lourdes every year, “Our Lady does not deserve to be abandoned despite the obstacles,” he said. The FSSPX expressed 'sorrow and incomprehension', questioning the bishop's decision and pointing to the interreligious Christian-Muslim pilgrimage that was welcomed at the sanctuary in October 2025. For now, the FSSPX faithful intend to remain present at Lourdes, but their pilgrimage will no longer be able to take the same public form as in previous …ਹੋਰ
