Cardinal Burke denies the pre-conclave dinners. Cardinal Raymond Burke had denied hosting the dinners at his Roman apartment that allegedly helped secure Leo XIV’s election, writes Phil Lawler on CatholicCulture.org on October 29. The sensational story of the dinner parties at Cardinal Burke’s Rome apartment was published by the homosexual journalist Francesco Capozza on IlTempo.it in August. It is circulating again because RorateCaeli.blogspot.com translated the article on October 25. Capozza does not identify a single source, relying instead on anonymous accounts attributed to participants and an unnamed cardinal. The article suggests that two dinners at Cardinal Burke’s apartment helped secure 20–25 votes for Cardinal Prevost. Lawler does not cite a source for the denial either. Multiple sources had said that Cardinal Raymond Burke denied hosting the meetings, “Cardinal Burke says that no such parties took place - at least not to his knowledge, and certainly not in his apartment.” …Àteru
Bishop Marian Eleganti: “The Vatican Cuts a Poor Figure”. Retired Swiss Bishop Marian Eleganti condemns the exclusion of Catholics from St. Peter’s Basilica on October 24: “This year’s ban on access to St. Peter’s Basilica for the tradition-minded pilgrims of ‘Ad Petri Sedem’ borders on hostility toward Catholics who are loyal to the Pope and orthodox in their faith. It has nothing to do with concern for unity in the Church or with operational difficulties in organizing liturgical celebrations in St. Peter’s Basilica.” “Synodal hypocrisy (inclusivity) has thereby revealed itself for what it is.” Bishop Eleganti notes that the “Ad Petri Sedem” pilgrims are not the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX): “We have known it for a long time: Certain people are inclusive only as long as it serves their own goals. They ruthlessly and cold-bloodedly exclude different ways of thinking and different approaches to pastoral care and spirituality. This has been my consistent experience.” “So-…Àteru

Milan Archbishop Mario Delpini has issued new funeral guidelines. He reaffimed that funerals must be free, with only voluntary donations permitted. Funeral agencies cannot include Church fees in their price lists or dictate religious arrangements. Delpini also calls for limiting lengthy farewell speeches, preferably holding them after the liturgy. Catholic funerals cannot take place in private farewell rooms. While cremation is permitted, Delpini reiterates the Church’s prohibition on keeping ashes at home and proposes designated spaces for urns inside churches.
I'm sorry but I don't' want to hear the whining from Dr. Kwasniewski, Matt and the other " wait before we judge Leo" appeasers. Start acting like men! Defend and support the SSPX, denounce the infiltrators or keep straddling the fence.
"It was a very unscientific and harmful report." HJA Ruissen condemns the Forbidden Colours "Hate Review" — a report riddled with lies and inaccuracies about hundreds of Christian organisations. He rightly asks: Why is the EU funding groups who vilify certain viewpoints simply because they are Christian? @Jugend für das Leben

For Vatican justice, already under severe scrutiny for the way the major trial was conducted, a new front is opening: that of the transparency of investigations and the guarantees afforded to the defendants. This is a matter likely to weigh on the pontificate of Leo XIV, who is called to deal with the judicial legacy of one of the most controversial proceedings in recent years.
A new video has emerged from the devastating earthquake in La Guaira, Venezuela. The footage shows the collapse of several residential buildings, with people desperately trying to find a safe place.
And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the river that the dragon cast out of his mouth. Women is the Church . River of sin and rebellion . Earthquakes sign rebellion coming to end get on the Ark of salvation .You never know the time of your judgement
So many earthquakes and disasters. One after the other. We are getting closer everyday. It is growing more and more. Yet still in the beginning. So much more is yet to happen. Will there be a time when everything will hit us all at once? War, famine, disease etc.
A historic verdict in Poland. For the first time, a Catholic bishop has been convicted for failing to report clerical homosexual abuse. Bishop Andrzej Jeż has announced that he will appeal the verdict. Today, October 29, a court in Tarnów convicted Bishop Jeż, 63, of failing to promptly report allegations of child homosexual abuse involving two priests in his diocese. It is the first conviction of a serving Catholic bishop in Poland for such an offense. The court sentenced Bishop Jeż to two years of restricted liberty, requiring him to surrender 25% of his monthly salary to a foundation supporting abused children. He must also pay 20,000 złoty into a victims' assistance fund. The case concerns allegations against two priests, Stanisław P. and Tomasz K. One priest was implicated in the abuse of at least 95 boys between 1987 and 2008. Church authorities had investigated allegations against Stanisław P. in the 2000s and dismissed him from the clergy in 2013. In July 2017, Poland introduced …Àteru
Bishop Barron rebukes Cardinal Vesco. In an October 28 post on X.com, Bishop Robert Barron of Winona-Rochester, Minnesota, attacked the Archbishop Jean-Paul Vesco of Algiers. He had claimed that “the Church is not there to convert” and that Christians should approach other religions “through fraternity rather than seeking conversions.” “Excuse me, but…what?” Barron responded. Citing Christ’s command to “make disciples of all nations,” the American bishop added: “Sure sounds like conversion to me.” Bishop Barron then invoked St. Paul, who preached in Corinth, Athens and Thessalonica. His purpose, Barron argued, “was not to listen or to form a discussion group but rather to declare an unnerving message”: that Jesus Christ is risen from the dead. He also criticized what he sees as a wider problem within the Church hierarchy, opening his post with the remark: “Well, another Cardinal has come out with a, shall we say, puzzling take on evangelization.” Monsignor Barron stressed that abandoning …Àteru

Vice President J.D. Vance on whether Church teaching on migration/immigration is vague: "You can welcome the stranger, but you also have to ask them difficult questions about who the stranger is...I think the Church should be and could be a lot more specific..."
The Summorum Pontificum pilgrimage has been kicked out of its conference venue for next year. The Augustinianum, a conference venue run by the Augustinian order near St. Peter’s Basilica, will reportedly no longer be available to the Summorum Pontificum pilgrimage from 2027. Luigi Casalini of MessaInLatino.it revealed this in an interview with @Fede & Cultura, citing information from the pilgrimage’s main organizer. Vatican pressure on Italian police? Casalini also said he had been told that the Vatican contacted Italian police to ask whether the procession had all the necessary permits and authorizations.
Luigi Casalini di Messa in Latino: "Non voglio credere, non voglio credere alle notizie che la Questura ha ricevuto una telefonata vaticana che ha chiesto se avevamo tutti i bolli e controbolli per la processione in territorio italiano. Non voglio crederlo, eh, come invece mi è stato detto. Non voglio credere, perché non c'è bisogno di credere a una cosa che ormai è... Come non voglio credere che è stato detto... Noi il convegno lo facciamo all'Augustinianum, che è un centro congressi prestigioso di fianco al Vaticano, di proprietà degli Agostiniani, che hanno la fortuna anche di avere il Papa oggi. E non voglio credere che ci è stato comunicato il venerdì pomeriggio che dal prossimo anno l'Augustinianum non ce lo danno più. Ma non voglio crederlo, non voglio, anche se me l'ha detto l'organizzatore primo, ma comunque non voglio crederlo."
