Bishop Defends Football Screening in Church: Bishop Jean-Louis de Metz-Noblat of Verdun, France, defended in a July 1 video the decision to broadcast the France–Norway football match inside the church of Ligny-en-Barrois. "There were undoubtedly a few cheers, a song of celebration, and some applause, just as happens when a concert is held in a church or when an exhibition takes place in a church. Some people have said to me, 'But a church is a place for prayer.' I dare to hope that, because they were in the church, a number of people were able to pray for the success of their favorite team. I also dare to hope that, by entering a church, some of them discovered a place where perhaps they had never set foot before."
"Rien d'injurieux" : Après la diffusion de France-Norvège dans l’église de Ligny-en-Barrois, l'évéque de Verdun persiste et signe - Dans une vidéo de plus de trois minutes , Monseigneur de Metz-Noblat assume pleinement cette décision et entreprend d'en démontrer le bien-fondé, allant jusqu'à manier une certaine ironie à l'égard des fidèles scandalisés
The Catholic Church in the Central African Republic is mourning the loss of Father Crépin Martial Monga-Hadassi, 35, who was killed on June 29 while serving one of the country's most conflict-ridden regions. His funeral was celebrated on July 1 at Saint Peter Claver Cathedral in Bangassou. Just one day before his death, on June 28, Father Crépin baptized 175 people in one of his final pastoral acts. On the morning of June 29, he accompanied the newly baptized to the Mbomou River before returning to St. John the Baptist Parish in Zémio, where he served as vicar. Later that evening, at around 6:43 p.m., Father Crépin was ambushed while returning to the parish rectory. The attack reportedly took place on the road between a Central African Armed Forces (FACA) checkpoint and the parish residence. He was fatally shot, while a female parishioner traveling with him was seriously wounded. The identity of the attackers remains unknown, and no group has claimed responsibility. Bishop Aurelio Gazzera …Aktar
Why has the Vatican said so little about the persecution and murder of Christians in Africa? Why so much attention to the orchestrated “schism” with the SPPX? May Fr. Crepin through the mercy of God rest in peace.
On June 13, two homosexual men celebrated a “Mass of Thanksgiving for 50 Years of Friendship, Partnership, and Commitment in the Pursuit of Justice” at Holy Apostles Church in London, England. About 150 relatives and friends of the hardened sinners attended. The two homosexual men, Julian Filochowski and Martin Pendergast, established the Diocese of Westminster's "pastoral ministry" for homosexuals in 1999. The principal celebrant was Fr. Jim O'Keefe, a longtime "friend" of the homosexuals. The concelebrants were Bishop John Crowley, emeritus of the Diocese of Middlesbrough; Bishop John Rawsthorne, emeritus of the Diocese of Hallam; and Canon Chris Vipers, a priest of Holy Apostles Parish. Cardinal Timothy Radcliffe, OP, delivered the homily. While celebrating homosexuality, he also blasphemed against the Holy Trinity, declaring: "I would add that the Son is the friend and the Spirit is friendship. So every true, faithful, well-lived friendship is a sharing in the life of God." After …Aktar
Rome pronounces excommunication: the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X officially declared to be in a state of schism - The day after the episcopal ordinations celebrated at Écône, the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith published a decree declaring that the bishops who participated in the consecrations without a pontifical mandate have incurred excommunication latae sententiae
Le 2 juillet, le Dicastère pour la doctrine de la foi du Vatican a publié un décret excommuniant les six évêques de la Fraternité sacerdotale Saint-Pie X (FSSPX). Ce décret met également en garde le clergé et les fidèles contre toute adhésion au schisme de la Fraternité, précisant que cela entraîne une excommunication d’office. Une note explicative jointe précise que toutes les tentatives menées depuis le pape Paul VI pour réconcilier le mouvement fondé par Mgr Marcel Lefebvre avec l’Église catholique ont échoué. Les récentes consécrations épiscopales, effectuées contre la volonté du pape Léon XIV, « ont constitué un schisme, avec les conséquences canoniques qui en découlent pour les ministres sacrés et les fidèles laïcs impliqués », précise-t-elle. « Les ministres sacrés appartenant à la Fraternité sacerdotale Saint-Pie X sont en schisme et doivent donc être considérés comme schismatiques. » Les fidèles laïcs qui adhèrent formellement à la Fraternité doivent également être considérés …Aktar
The Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X. (FSSPX) “sincerely regrets that, due to exceptional circumstances, these consecrations had to be conferred without the authorization of the Holy Father”, the general house said in a communiqué after the episcopal consecrations today in Ecône, Switzerland. “It particularly regrets that the Society’s Superior General did not have the opportunity to meet personally with His Holiness Pope Leo XIV to explain, in a spirit of filial devotion, the grave reasons that made this ceremony necessary.” At the same time, the statement speaks of a profound joy inspired by these episcopal consecrations. #newsVluwxevdyp

Georges de Laire case is still pending and has not been closed said Brother Andre Marie micm.Also the Decree of Prohbitions against the St. Benedict Center in New Hampshire has not been lifted. Now we have new important facts about Vatican Council II which were developed over the last 15 years. They were unknown in the case filed by Fr. Georges de Laire against Michael Voris and Church Militant TV. 1.When Michael Voris was in New Hampshire Fr.Georges de Laire declined to give him an interview. He wanted to maintain the political Left interpretation of extra ecclesiam nulla salus (EENS) and Vatican Council II even though it is dishonest. He did not interpret Vatican Council II, the baptism of desire and the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus( EENS) rationally and so honesetly. He was unethical. 2.Judge Joseph A.

15,000 People Attend the Episcopal Consecration: Around fifteen thousand laypeople and a thousand priests and religious currently attend the episcopal consecration in Ecône, Switzerland. During the consecration sermon, Father Davide Pagliarani advanced the strange argument that "we belong to the same Church because we have the same faith," even though the controversy concerns questions of ecclesiastical authority rather than the content of the faith.

The Vatican's Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith on July 2 issued a decree excommunicating the six bishops of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX). The decree also warns clergy and faithful not to adhere to the Fraternity's schism, stating that doing so incurs automatic excommunication. An accompanying explanatory note says that all attempts since Pope Paul VI to reconcile the movement founded by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre with the Catholic Church have failed. The recent episcopal consecrations against the will of Pope Leo XIV, it says, "constituted the offense of schism, with the resulting canonical consequences for the sacred ministers and lay faithful involved." "The sacred ministers belonging to the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X are in schism and must therefore be considered schismatics." Lay faithful who formally adhere to the Fraternity are likewise to be considered schismatics and excommunicated. The FSSPX clergy administer "the sacraments illicitly": "The …Aktar
Monday June 29, no change. Today July 2, Mainstream Media is talking schism. Who caused the schism? The pope could easily consent to the consecrations. He did not. His globalist predecessor, removed the automatic excommunication from Marko Rupnik (and gave him a parish) after Rupnik abused nuns. Will the globalist Leo bring the SSPX back into communion or will Leo XIV push his globalist-inspired schism?
The Vatican drops the hammer: • The four new SSPX bishops, along with the two SSPX bishops who consecrated them, are excommunicated. • All SSPX priests are declared "in schism and must therefore be considered schismatics." • All lay faithful "who formally adhere to the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X are to be considered schismatics and excommunicated." • SSPX confessions and marriages are declared invalid.
Archbishop BANS Catholics From Praying On His Own Cathedral Steps Christ The King Archbishop Robert Casey, Archbishop of Cincinnati, told a Catholic men’s group that they were forbidden to pray the Rosary on the steps of the Cathedral during Cincinnati’s annual Pride Parade. The Archbishop said he wanted to remain “neutral” toward the Pride Parade. Scripture, the Fathers of the Church and the Catechism state that a bishop can’t be neutral toward sin.

Leo XIV has overhauled the Vatican's financial watchdog, replacing its long-standing board-led structure with a director appointed directly by the pope. The reform, contained in a chirograph published June 30, introduces a new statute for the Authority for Financial Supervision and Information (ASIF). This body is responsible for combating money laundering and supervising the Vatican's financial system. The biggest change is institutional. Until now, ASIF was governed by a president and board - a model resembling those used by many central banks and independent financial regulators. The new statute abolishes that structure. Instead, ASIF will be headed by a director, assisted by a deputy director, both appointed by the pope for five-year terms. The authority's annual report and budget will also be submitted directly to the Council for the Economy. The statute replaces the previous board with a single papally appointed leadership, a governance model that more closely resembles that of …Aktar
The episcopal consecrations in Ecône, Switzerland, today should lead the Church to reconsider the restrictions on the Mass in the Roman rite, Cardinal Gerhard Müller told IlGiornale.it on July 1. The restrictions imposed by Traditionis Custodes (2021) have only strengthened the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) by giving them "a symbol of dissent against Rome". They have "almost served as propaganda" for them. According to Cardinal Müller, Traditionis Custodes "has not had a positive effect": "Using an authoritarian approach to demand blind obedience is not our way." He praised Benedict XVI's Summorum Pontificum (2007) for bringing "a great deal of peace" to the Church, adding: "One cannot prohibit the rite in its ancient form." The ancient Mass cannot be harmful when "the saints and the Fathers of the Church celebrated in this form." Cardinal Müller rejected the claim that those attached to the ancient rite reject the Second Vatican Council, arguing instead that the …Aktar
Cardinal Pietro Parolin told journalists in Rome today that he does not know when or how the excommunications of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) will take place. “Despite this serious wound I hope that we can find ways to resolve this problem.” He also said that he was "deeply pained" by today's episcopal ordinations: "It is a schismatic act."

Weather Deteriorated During Episcoapal Consecration: As the consecration began in Écône, a downpour doused the faithful in the field outside the tent. Meanwhile, the organ played Handel's "Lascia ch'io pianga": "Let me weep over my cruel fate, and sigh for freedom."
Au moment de la consécration, un déluge s'abat sur Écone. L'orgue entonne « Lascia ch'io pianga » tandis que les fidèles se mettent à l'abri. (Laisse-moi pleurer mon sort cruel et soupirer après la liberté ; que la douleur brise ces chaînes de mes tourments, ne serait-ce que par pitié.) Un moment d'un symbolisme tonitruant.

In two theological papers of the International Theological Commission, Vatican, Vatican Council II is interpreted irrationally by Cardinal Fernandez and Cardinal Luiz Ladaria sj.They are Christianity and the World Religions and The Hope of Salvation for Infants who die without being baptised. With the rational interpretation of Vatican Council II the Council has no explicit exceptions for the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus, of the Council of Florence 1442.But with the irrational interpretation of the cardinals there are exceptions for EENS.So Tradition is made obsolete for the cardinals with Vatican Council II interpreted irrationally.
