One of the most asinine remarks ever made from any prelate at the Vatican, and, given some other illogical, and heretical, comments made by others in this and the previous papcy, that is saying something. Orwellian.
Rev. Alfons Gea, a Catalan priest and cousin of Cardinal Cristóbal López Romero, has appeared to confirm the sexual nature of allegations against the 74-year-old Archbishop of Rabat, Morocco. Cardinal López, a Spanish-born Salesian, is a prominent supporter of Pope Francis’s agenda, was appointed Archbishop of Rabat in 2017 and a cardinal in 2019. On Monday, he announced that he would temporarily withdraw from public celebrations and pastoral ministry while the Vatican conducts a preliminary investigation into allegations involving at least five adult women. He has admitted to “inappropriate behaviour” but denies committing sexual assault, violence, or harassment. ElPaís.com has described the allegations as sexual abuse, rather than merely inappropriate hugs or gestures. Writing for Exaudi.org, Rev. Gea said his cousin had already begun privately accepting the possible consequences: “The image of a papabile, a figure who enjoyed such widespread affection, has come crashing down." And: …بیہ
Wide Awake Media @wideawake_media "Global warming saves lives." Geologist Gregory Wrightstone thoroughly debunks the "climate crisis" narrative, arguing that modest warming and increased carbon dioxide actually benefit humanity—by reducing cold-related deaths, boosting agricultural output and triggering widespread global greening. "Earth's ecosystems are thriving and prospering, and humanity is benefitting from this combination of modest warming and more CO₂."
" The document of Benedict XVI, Summorum Pontificum, does not create a new liturgical rite..." --- No, it was Montini with Bugnini who created it. Ratzinger just tried to save it by imposing a legal fiction of two forms of the same rite for ontologically and historically different rites.
International Media Report on Diocese's Sponsorship of Villach Pride US and French media are reporting on the local news that the Diocese of Gurk-Klagenfurt in Austria served as one of the official sponsors (!) of the first homosexual parade (Pride) in Villach. The march included people wearing dog masks, a communist flag, and a sign reading, “Jesus had two fathers — why not us?”
Cardinal Robert McElroy of Washington now says he removed Msgr. Stephen Rossetti as a Washington exorcist not because of his demons-and-UFOs comments, but because exorcism should be a private ministry. In a June 29 interview released July 8, McElroy said his objection was that exorcists should stick to quietly helping people in serious cases, not operate publicly: "It wasn't touching on the question of UFOs... my major objection is that I think the traditional role of an exorcist is a very private one." That explanation contradicts the archdiocese's own June statement announcing the removal. It said Rossetti's UFO comments "gravely undermine the Church's very precise teaching on the devil, demons and exorcism." Monsignor Rossetti had said in a video that he thinks many UFO sightings are demons capable of feats beyond human ability, such as impossible high-speed maneuvers. #newsYvdpsotlwj
First Canadian Town Grants Trees a 'Right to Life': On 9 June, the town of Terrasse-Vaudreuil in Quebec, home to around 2,000 people, became the first place in Canada to adopt a resolution enshrining the 'rights' of trees. The resolution includes rights such as the right to life, natural growth, integrity and regeneration. Mayor Michel Bourdeau said the initiative was inspired by filmmaker André Desrochers and his film 'Des arbres et des arts'. Meanwhile, around 30,000 human beings are aborted in Quebec each year, and more than 100,000 in Canada as a whole. Since its legalisation in 2016, more than 100,000 Canadians have died through euthanasia (MAID).
On July 9th 1572, nineteen Catholic priests were hanged in a peat shed in the Netherlands. They were offered their lives if they denied the Eucharist. All nineteen refused. The ropes were too long to break their necks. They strangled slowly. The men who killed them founded the Dutch Republic.

Post is from 2018. Eastern events of recent years. "In 2013", said the Russian Patriarch, "the heads of local Orthodox Churches came to Moscow to celebrate the 1025th anniversary of the Baptism of Rus, and when they met Vladimir Putin, one of the strongest messages was the request that Russia should accept to take part in the protection of Christians in the Middle East. I am pleased", Kirill added, "that this happened, and thanks to Russia's intervention, the genocide of Christians was stopped". The Head of the Russian Church confirmed the intention of the Patriarchate of Moscow to contribute to the humanitarian aid of Middle Eastern populations, and also to the reconstruction of "places of worship, monasteries, monuments, including Muslim monuments and historical monuments". I posted once on how Russia brought aid to a Catholic nursing home where Sisters took care of disabled and elderly. How both Catholics and Muslims ran to the Russian bases to escape the genocide in both Christian …بیہ
Archbishop Bernard Hebda of Saint Paul and Minneapolis wrote on July 2 about the episcopal consecrations by the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX): "In the ten years that I have led this local Church, I have met many sincere people who worship regularly or occasionally at the chapels of the SSPX within the territory of our Archdiocese. I have been impressed by the strength of their families and their commitment to traditional Catholic values." He acknowledges that the FSSPX bishops’ excommunication will affect them in a particular way and hopes they will not follow them “in separating themselves from Pope Leo XIV.” Monsignor Hebda also noted that the Traditional Latin Mass is celebrated at six locations in the Archdiocese, adding: “I am confident that those who prefer the Traditional Latin Mass could find a home here.” #newsEtakruhtwp
