2 Chronicles 24:17-25
“Thus says God: Why are you transgressing the Lord’s commands?”
All the commandments can be summed up in this: Abide in God and turn away from evil.
Matthew 6:24-34
The birds of the air are light; they live in the present moment.
The bird's mind is not cluttered; it lives in spontaneity.

Cardinal Ruini's Testament: "Francis Reopened Wounds"

MessaInLatino.it published today the spiritual testament of Cardinal Camillo Ruini, signed on June 3, 2016. He died on June 16, 2026 at the age of 95.
Cardinal Ruini's testament is a personal reflection on his life, giving thanks to God for his family, vocation, and ministry in the Church.
More than 90% of the sentences are written in the first person singular, with verbs such as ringrazio ('I thank'), confesso ('I confess'), ho cercato ('I have tried'), and sono stato ('I have been') making Ruini the grammatical subject in nearly every sentence. The testament provides a detailed account of his family life, his work as a priest and bishop, his collaborations, and his public importance. A sympathetic reading of his frequent use of first-person pronouns (I, me, my, mine) might suggest that spiritual testaments traditionally belong to an autobiographical and introspective literary genre.
The paragraph that focuses least on himself is the best one, dealing with Pope Francis's pontificate: …More

Argentine Bishops Thank God for the 'Courage' of an Abortion Activist

The Argentine Bishops' Conference issued a tribute to the abortion activist Taty Almeida, 95, following her death on June 14.
In a June 15 statement signed by Archbishop Marcelo Colombo, president of the conference, and Bishop Raúl Pizarro, secretary general, the bishops sarcastically praised Almeida's "historic commitment to human rights". They even “thanked God for sustaining her courage”.
Almeida was one of Argentina's best-known “human-rights” activists. She was a longtime member of the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo movement about people who disappeared during Argentina's military dictatorship.
The bishops' statement ignored her support for abortion.
Almeida publicly supported Argentina's abortion movement. She frequently appeared wearing the green scarf that became the symbol of the campaign for legal abortion and backed the effort that led to abortion legalization in 2020.
Almeida was closely associated with sectors of the Argentine caviar left and often appeared alongside progressive …More

FELLAY AND GALARATTA WILL BE EXCOMMUNICATED A SECOND TIME WITH LG 16 VISIBLE: WITH LG 16 INVISIBLE FERNANDEZ IS IN SCHISM. NO CORRECTION YET FROM THE SSPX.

FELLAY AND GALARATTA WILL BE EXCOMMUNICATED A SECOND TIME WITH LG 16 VISIBLE: WITH LG 16 INVISIBLE FERNANDEZ IS IN SCHISM. NO CORRECTION YET FROM THE SSPX.
You make a mistake once. You do not repeat it again after being informed.The SSPX bishops Fellay and Galaretta were excommunicated with Vatican Council II interpreted irrationally i.e. with Lumen Gentium 16, allegedly physically visible and not invisible. So there were explicit exceptions for Tradition (EENS, Athanasius Creed, ecumenism of return of the Syllabus, traditional ecclesiocentric mission etc).
Cardinal Ratzinger chose LG 16 visible. So Tradition was made obsolete and the SSPX bishops excommunicated.
The same two bishops are now going to be excommunicated with Vatican Council II irrational, with LG 16 visible and not invisible. LG 8, 14, 16 refer to physically visible non Catholics saved outside the Church without faith and baptism, in the present times for Pope Leo.

The SSPX bishops did not protest the …More

Even setting aside the section about Pope Francis, this is a document worth reading. Take this line, for example: "Through my own fault, Lord, I sought to follow St. John Paul II's example in matters that aligned with my natural inclinations, but far less so in matters that would have addressed my most significant shortcomings."

Full testament of Cardinal Ruini: A key aide to Pope John Paul II

VATICAN CITY (PerMariam) — The full testament of Cardinal Camillo Ruini – a key aide of Pope John Paul II – has been published, containing reflections on his long career and the three popes he served under as a prelate.
On June 16, Cdl. Ruini died in Rome at the age of 95.
Ordained in 1954, he was consecrated bishop in 1983 and made cardinal by John Paul II in 1991. He swiftly became an influential figure for the Polish Pope, serving as secretary general of the Italian Bishops Conference from 1986 - 1991, and then president of that body from 1991 until 2007. He was also vicar general of the Diocese of Rome from 1991 until 2008.

Ruini’s response to many social moral crises was much in line with John Paul II and Benedict XVI, and his firm opposition to LGBT ideology made him an unpopular figure in the increasingly anti-family forces gaining ground in Italian society. {For a detailed obituary see Vaticanist Edward Pentin’s write-up} Though perhaps less …

That's pretty strident for Vatican speak from a cardinal. Among his many other serious failings, Francis was simply unpleasant.

2nd book of Kings 11,1-4.9-18.20.
When Athaliah, the mother of Ahaziah, saw that her son was dead, she began to kill off the whole royal family.
But Jehosheba, daughter of King Jehoram and sister of Ahaziah, took Joash, his son, and spirited him away, along with his nurse, from the bedroom where the princes were about to be slain. She concealed him from Athaliah, and so he did not die.
For six years he remained hidden in the temple of the LORD, while Athaliah ruled the land.
But in the seventh year, Jehoiada summoned the captains of the Carians and of the guards. He had them come to him in the temple of the LORD, exacted from them a sworn commitment, and then showed them the king's son.
The captains did just as Jehoiada the priest commanded. Each one with his men, both those going on duty for the sabbath and those going off duty that week, came to Jehoiada the priest.
He gave the captains King David's spears and shields, which were in the temple of the LORD.
And the guards, with drawn …More

Worse than Germany: Catholic University in Canada Displays Homosexual Features. On the campus of the University of Toronto's St. Michael's College, also known as the Catholic University, homosexual symbols are displayed. These include a large banner and a rainbow crosswalk on St. Joseph Street. In a letter dated 2024, the president and vice-chancellor of St. Michael’s College wrote to a Toronto councilor that the student union had requested the rainbow crosswalk and that the administration supported the proposal. St. Michael’s College was founded in 1852 by the Congregation of St. Basil.

St. Michael's College at the University of Toronto has gone full pride

St. Michael's College at the University of Toronto has gone totally pride. From flying the pride flag to rainbow sidewalks to the Drag Show. "Display your pride." It's all about pride in pride.
In 2024, in a letter to a Toronto city councillor the St. Michael's President David G. Sylvester writes:
The St. Michael’s College Student Union (SMCSU) has requested that a Pride crosswalk with rainbow colours be painted between the John M. Kelly Library and Elmsley Place on St. Joseph Street. The University of St. Michael’s College administration and I enthusiastically support this proposal and commit to the costs associated with the project, as outlined to us, on the University’s behalf.
St. Michael’s is a place that welcomes and celebrates the infinite God-given dignity of those who identify as part of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. From its Inclusiveness Policy, to its Strategic Plan, to the installation of the Progress Pride Flag on the John M. Kelly Library last summer, St. Michael’s …

Worse than Germany: Argentine Priest Celebrates World Cup at Eucharist: On June 15, parish priest Carlos Costale of Río Cuarto, Argentina, posted a video showing World Cup fan props used during an Eucharist celebration. One of the props was a paper bus labeled “La Scaloneta,” the popular nickname for Argentina’s national football team under Lionel Scaloni. The parish priest is known for his theatrical liturgical experiments, including mixing a fruit salad during a Pentecost Eucharist.

Me parece que tienen razón los que opinan que el Novus Ordo, al ponerlos de frente al los fieles y en el centro, convierte a los curas en showman. Esto pasó en la parroquia Nuestra Señora de la Merced, en la diócesis de Río Cuarto, Provincia de Córdoba, Argentina. El cura se llama Carlos Costale.

A Social Media Ban For Minors Requires Data From Everyone

Authored by Luke Nelson and Mike Campbell via The Epoch Times,
In debating a social media ban for minors, it appears we face a choice between two perceived harms.
One is the reported damage that social media is doing to the mental health of children and adolescents.
The other is the normalization of mass age verification systems—most likely involving biometrics—that would apply to everyone, not just minors.

This carries real risks of privacy invasion, data breaches, and future mission creep.
There is little dispute that many Western countries have experienced a rise in youth mental health problems beginning around 2010–2012 (when Smartphones and social media exploded). Anxiety, depression, self-harm, and suicide rates among adolescents, particularly girls, have increased dramatically since this period. There is disagreement, however, not over whether these spikes exist, but whether they can be attributed specifically to social media. The lingering effects of the pandemic and …
