Cardinal Matteo Zuppi of Bologna and president of the Italian Bishops’ Conference attended the private funeral of Italian singer-songwriter Francesco Guccini in Pavana on Saturday. He delivered an address, published on Avvenire.it (August 8), in which he practically canonized the self-described agnostic. Guccini, 86, had described himself as an “agnostic possibilist.” Zuppi, who was his friend, recalled that the singer had once told him he wanted the cardinal present at his funeral. Addressing Guccini directly, Cardinal Zuppi imagined what the deceased might now be seeing: “We do not know precisely … what you see: the fullness of that light which, in reality, you had already sensed from here and which you were able to glimpse in the poignant and infinite beauty of life.” Cardinal Zuppi portrayed Guccini’s agnostic doubt positively, as an honest search for truth. “Doubt was your way of standing before things without cheating, with integrity,” he said. “You never stopped asking and listening.” …Ọzọ
Popes certainly have more important things to do than pay for their hotel room out of their own wallet, as Francis did at the beginning of his pontificate. Do they even have enough time for that?

This is for Real and True Catholics. Not those who make up their own religion. The prots have more than enough. Why not one more like you?

♰ A Shower of Rose Petals for Saint Philomena ♰ Saint Philomena, Powerful with God, pray for us August 2026 Procession in Honor of Saint Philomena in Mugnano del Cardinale, Italy Mugnano del Cardinale houses the Sanctuary which has been the home of the Sacred Body of Saint Philomena since 1805. Saint Philomena is carried from the side of the Sanctuary and up the historic original main street of Mugnano — the very route along which Saint Philomena first entered this little town more than two centuries ago. Each year, a family whose home stands along this historic route waits for the moment when Saint Philomena passes beneath their windows. As their own expression of love and devotion, they shower her statue with a magnificent cascade of rose petals. Video Universal Archconfraternity of Saint Philomena
Taybeh must not vanish into silence. Taybeh, the last fully Christian town in Palestine, is suffering months of attacks by Israeli settlers. On August 5, settlers entered the property of a Christian family belonging to the local parish, cut through the fence and brought a flock of sheep onto the family’s land. The incident follows reports of fires, damage to farmland and repeated incursions onto private property. Around 1,200 Christians remain in Taybeh, a West Bank town traditionally identified with the biblical Ephraim. Parish priest Bashar Fawadleh has appealed for international attention: “Do not forget Taybeh! Taybeh must not vanish into silence.”
Tajbeh, the last fully Christian town in Palestine, has been subjected to attacks and intimidation by Israeli settlers for months. Residents fear that the pressure will force more families to leave their homes and land. The village, located east of Ramallah in the West Bank, is identified with the biblical Ephraim. According to tradition, Jesus and his disciples found refuge there. Recently, there have been repeated incursions onto private properties and farmland. On August 5, settlers entered the property of a family belonging to the parish, destroyed the fence, and brought a flock of sheep onto the land. Such actions are systematic in nature and are intended to instill fear and force Palestinians to leave their land. There have also been instances of arson, destruction of fields, roadblocks, and restrictions on freedom of movement. “We feel forgotten; we feel alone,” he emphasizes, appealing to the international community for concrete protection of the civilian population and political …Ọzọ
Bishop Fredrik Hansen of Oslo plans the first diocesan synod in Oslo before the 2030 jubilee of St. Olaf. “A diocesan synod is not a democratic assembly,” Bishop Hansen wrote on August 6 on Katolsk.no, the website of the Catholic Church in Norway. “As bishop, I am also obliged to exclude from the synod anything that contradicts or calls into question the doctrine of the Church,” he added. “It is not for us to decide on matters of faith and morals.” The synod will arrive at plans and documents that are “presented to me as bishop and brought to a decision by me.” Bishop Hansen indicated that participation in the assemblies would probably resemble “a considerably expanded pastoral council.” He compared his diocesan synod with the synods held by St Archbishop Charles Borromeo of Milan “in accordance with the provisions of the Council of Trent.” However, his working method “will resemble that of the Second Vatican Council,” he threatened. Bishop Hansen recently extended permission for the …Ọzọ
A clever but meaningless pronouncement. Pope Leo XIV would feel quite comfortable in offering similar assurances. The problem with Conciliarism is that the teachings of the Second Vatican Council have allowed the Modernist leaders to determine what "contradicts or calls into question the doctrine of the Church." They call it a "living" Magisterium.
The Peruvian naturalization file of Robert Prevost preserves a handwritten letter in which he expressed his desire to remain in Peru “for the rest of my life.” The documentation, held by Peru’s National Superintendency of Migration, records the process through which the American-born Prevost obtained Peruvian citizenship in 2015 after years of pastoral work in the country. According to TVPerú Noticias, Prevost submitted his application in 2015 and addressed a handwritten letter to then-President Ollanta Humala explaining his ties to Peru and formally requesting nationality. As part of the naturalization process, Prevost also underwent an examination on Peruvian history, geography and culture. Héctor Pérez, head of Migraciones’ General Archive, said the future pope achieved an exceptionally high result. The essential details of Prevost’s naturalization are confirmed by official Peruvian records. Supreme Resolution No. 157-2015-IN, dated August 17, 2015, states that Prevost applied for …Ọzọ

The Vatican's reasoning for the ban on lay preaching is "not entirely consistent," Bishop Peter Kohlgraf of Mainz told Katholisch.de on August 11. "The letter from the Prefect for Liturgy states that only the priest celebrating Mass may preach. But taken to its logical conclusion, that would mean a concelebrating priest or an assisting deacon shouldn't be allowed to preach either." Lay Preaching Is No Problem In the Diocese of Mainz, occasional lay preaching has become an established practice and Bishop Kohlgraf has no intention of changing that. In some parishes, "it is customary for laypeople to preach," he said. "If I hear about it, I won't take disciplinary action or impose canonical sanctions." "Denunciations" Are a Problem Bishop Kohlgraf is concerned that the directive from Rome could encourage "denunciations": "There are people who report liturgical violations straight to the bishop and write directly to me. That happened before too - individual people would complain to me - but …Ọzọ
"The letter from the Prefect for Liturgy states that only the priest celebrating Mass may preach. But taken to its logical conclusion, that would mean a concelebrating priest or an assisting deacon shouldn't be allowed to preach either." Even a blind squirrel will find a nut every once in a while. So the Prefect for Liturgy is careless to the point of being goofy. But what self-respecting Catholic, much less a bishop, can use this for an excuse?
Bishop Peter Kohlgraf of Mainz criticised the Vatican’s June 17 ruling upholding the ban on lay preaching at Mass as “not entirely coherent”. He noted that lay preaching has become common practice and said he would neither intervene nor impose canonical sanctions.
Faith Means Trusting God Without Understanding Living by faith, as emphasized by St. Paul, requires a deep trust in God and a life oriented towards Him. This involves acknowledging God in all aspects of life, seeking His guidance, and finding joy in His will, even amidst trials and tribulations. By living by faith, we can find strength and grace to endure hardships, knowing that God is preparing us for eternal life. Fr.

Auxiliary Bishop Emeritus Marian Eleganti criticizes on his blog Leo XIV’s July 31 audience with Patti Smith, 80 - a pro-abortion and pro-homosexual singer from Chicago: “The harmless encounter - which I imagine consisted mainly of an exchange of pleasantries, with hardly anything of great importance to the Church being discussed - raises questions for me.” His main argument concerning the 'decline of the Petrine office' is that the papal office has been overshadowed by the personalities of individual popes: Too much informality and media exposure. Bishop Eleganti criticizes spontaneous interviews, informal remarks, celebrity meetings, photo opportunities, travel, and highly publicized personal gestures. These can make the pope appear to be an international celebrity or a member of the establishment rather than a teacher of the faith. Private audiences send messages. Meetings and photo opportunities with people who publicly oppose Catholic teaching may be interpreted as approval or …Ọzọ
Little Audrey Santo: Fr. Peter Joyce on Her Life, Miracles, & Sainthood Cause "Surrounded by family love, she spent 20 years, 24/7, in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament." Fr.

Today, Pope Leo XIV received Cardinal Willem Jacobus Eijk, 73, of Utrecht, in audience. AdVaticanum.com reported that the audience comes amid renewed attention to the cardinal’s health. Cardinal Eijk was absent from both extraordinary consistories convened by Pope Leo XIV this year, in January and June, with his absence from the June gathering reported as health-related. His health problems stretch back more than two decades. In 2001, while serving as Bishop of Groningen, he suffered a brainstem infarction. One of its lasting consequences was severe facial pain. On March 2, 2020, the Archdiocese of Utrecht published excerpts from a letter Cardinal Eijk had sent that day to members of pastoral teams. The letter concerned treatment he had undergone abroad for the facial pain caused by his 2001 brainstem infarction. Cardinal Eijk wrote: “I never made public statements about this facial pain, because I wanted to prevent people from sparing me because of it and from being reluctant to call …Ọzọ
– Folha de S. Paulo, December 10, 1984 – by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira DIVERSE circumstances have thus far prevented me from writing about the Instruction on Certain Aspects of the “Theology of Liberation,” by Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, prefect of the Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. I am therefore taking advantage of the first opportunity to do so. Thus, it is with great pleasure that I fulfill a special duty that falls to me as a result of something that must be remembered here. Ten years ago, in 1974, the TFPs then in existence published a declaration on the Vatican’s “Ostpolitik” and Paul VI ‘s policy toward communism, so different from that of his predecessor Pius XII. This declaration carefully analyzed the subject and was significantly titled “The Vatican Policy of Détente Toward the Communist Governments — The Question for the TFP: To Take No Stand? Or to Resist?” It filled three quarters of a page in the Folha de S. Paulo (4/10/74). Its tone was respectful yet …Ọzọ
Israel is silent as Moscow seeks answers about a dual citizen of Russia and Israel. Missing since landing at Ben Gurion Airport last wee. Israeli authorities have remained silent on the fate of Russian-Israeli historian Artyom Kirpichenok, days after his reported detention and despite Moscow seeking answers about his whereabouts. Kirpichenok, 51, is a dual Russian-Israeli citizen, journalist, and Middle East expert known for his writings on Zionism and criticism of Israel’s policies toward Iran and Palestine. He reportedly disappeared on August 2 shortly after landing at Ben Gurion Airport on a flight from Yerevan. Kirpichenok reportedly sent his family a brief message saying “arrived” at 10:41 am, but his phone and social media activity ceased shortly afterward.

Colleagues said he had traveled to Israel for an academic conference and had a return ticket for August 8. International …Ọzọ
