Football Fan Mass in Argentina. Worse than Germany: On 16 July, football fan signs, including altar decorations, flags, hats and shirts, were incorporated into a Mass at the Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria parish in Córdoba's Villa Argentina neighbourhood. The service was led by Rev. Luis Luján. He explained that the idea was to stay close to people and use the excitement around the national team to communicate Gospel values.

Christ said, My house is a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of thieves. Ecclesiastics says there is a time and a place for everything, but a church is not a place of revelry.
Humpback Whale Crucified among Priests, Altar Servers and an Altar: The blasphemous play Timmy: Hope Dies Last, which premiered on 11 July at the Ernst Deutsch Theater in Hamburg, Germany, portrays the stranded humpback whale Timmy as a Christ-like figure. Directed by Alexander Klessinger, the production features a 'Mass for Timmy', a crucifixion. The production was inspired by Timmy, whose stranding in the Baltic Sea this spring prompted a nationwide rescue effort. The whale was found dead off the coast of Denmark approximately two weeks after being freed. The operation reportedly cost around €2 million.
Es macht traurig und entsetzt zugleich, mit welcher Selbstverständlichkeit das Heilige für Millionen von Christen verspottet wird. Jesus Christus – er, der die Liebe, die Vergebung und die Hoffnung ist – wird erneut zum Gegenstand von Provokation und Lächerlichmachung gemacht. Wo bleibt der viel beschworene Respekt vor Religionen, wenn es um den christlichen Glauben geht? Von Toleranz und Rücksicht wird gesprochen – doch immer wieder scheint das Christentum ein einfaches Ziel für Angriffe zu sein. Andere Religionen werden häufig mit größerer Vorsicht behandelt, während der Name Jesu öffentlich verspottet wird. Doch wir wissen als Christen: Das Wort war schon immer ein Dorn im Auge der Widersacher. „Denn es kommt die Zeit, da sie die gesunde Lehre nicht ertragen werden; sondern nach ihren eigenen Begierden werden sie sich selbst Lehrer aufladen, nach denen ihnen die Ohren jucken.“ (2. Timotheus 4,3) Jesus selbst sagte: „Wenn die Welt euch hasst, so wisst, dass sie mich vor euch gehasst hat.“ …Më shumë
26 Years Later: Why Jeanette Hall Is Still Grateful to Be Alive: In Oregon, USA, on July 17, 2000, Jeanette Hall was diagnosed with colorectal cancer. Believing she had no future, she asked her doctor for assisted suicide under Oregon's newly enacted law. Instead of writing the prescription, Dr. Kenneth Stevens took the time to understand her fears and encouraged her to consider treatment. One question changed everything: "Wouldn't you like to see your son graduate from the police academy?" Jeanette chose treatment. She survived, attended her son's graduation, and years later told Dr. Stevens: "You saved my life. If I had gone to a doctor that believed in assisted suicide, I would not be here."
Three scheduled Masses in the Roman rite in August at Saint-Germain-en-Laye, France, are likely to be cancelled unless the Diocese of Versailles authorizes a priest to celebrate them. Earlier this year, after months of dialogue, the diocese reached an agreement with representatives of the faithful to ensure that the Latin Mass would be celebrated every Sunday and holy day throughout the year. According to Paix Liturgique (15 July), the Diocese of Versailles acknowledged that it might be unable to provide priests for several summer dates and invited the faithful to propose canonically regular priests to fill the gaps. Most of the missing celebrations have since been covered, but the Masses scheduled for 2, 9, and 23 August remain without an approved celebrant. The faithful say that Rev. Jacques-Pascal Bosi, a priest in good standing of the Diocese of Gap-Embrun who is currently serving on mission in Paris, is available to celebrate the remaining Masses. They state that the Diocese of …Më shumë

" She saw him transpierced by iron pins. Her angel told her that it was the deceased brother of that woman who had asked her prayers. "If you wish," he added, "to ask any grace in his favour, it will not be refused to you." "I ask, then," she replied, "that he may be delivered from those horrible irons that transpierce him." Immediately she saw them drawn from the poor sufferer, who was then taken from this special prison and placed in the one occupied by those souls that had not incurred any particular torment."
Chapter XX ~ Diversity of the Pains — King Sancho and Queen Guda — St. Lidwina and the Soul Transpierced — Blessed Margaret Mary and the Bed of Fire. According to the saints, there is great diversity in the corporal pains of Purgatory. Although fire is the principal instrument of torture, there is also the torment of cold, the torture of the members, and the torture applied to the different senses of the human body. This diversity of suffering seems to correspond to the nature of the sins, each one of which demands its own punishment, according to these words : Quia per quce peccat quis, per hac et torquetur — " By what things a man sinneth, by the same also is he tormented."1 It is just that it should be so with regard to the chastisement, since the same diversity exists in the distribution of the reward. In Heaven each one receives according to his works, and, as Venerable Bede says, each one receives his crown, his robe of glory. For the martyr this robe is of a rich purple colour, …Më shumë
DOUBTS ABOUT THE VALIDITY OF THE SACRAMENTS AT THE SSPX - "ARCHBISHOP LEFEBVRE" KNEW IT! THE HERESY OF THE PROBABLE SACRAMENTS UTTERED BY "BISHOP FELLAY" Is Marcel Lefebvre a doubtful bishop ?Words of Wisdom, THE SERAPH, Vol XIX No5, January 1999 1/DOUBTS ABOUT THE CONSECRATION AND ORDINATION OF MARCEL LEFEBVRE BY THE FREEMASON AND LUCIFERIAN ACHILLE LIÉNART: PROOF OF "BISHOP" LEFEBVRE’S SPIRIT OF DISSIMULATION "Bishop" Lefebvre had known of Liénart's membership in Freemasonry for many years, he knew that his orders would be questioned. In March 1976, the Italian magazine Chiesa Viva revealed Cardinal Achille Liénart's membership in the highest degrees of Freemasonry. "Bishop" Lefebvre understood that his connection with Liénart would soon become public, prompting him to make the following statement at a conference in Montreal, Canada, in May 1976, feigning surprise at learning of his mentor's membership: "This news has filled me with bitterness".

In a statement published on July 16, the Society of Saint Pius X asserted that “Pope Francis’s grants of confessional faculties and for the ability of the SSPX priests to obtain marriage delegation remain in force”—two weeks after the Vatican stated they were no longer in force.
We'd have to hear the whole speech, but I wonder why he says that being a Synodal Church means recognizing that we don't possess the truth but must seek it together. What truth is he referring to? Isn't the Church the pillar and foundation of truth?
Jhon 14,6 Jesus replied, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” What is he talking about? What are we talking about? The successors of the apostles and the Catholic Church are the sole holders of the truth and the way (well, okay: up until the Second Vatican Council) ----- Jn 14,6 Jézus azt felelte neki: „Én vagyok az út, az igazság és az élet. Senki sem jut az Atyához, csak általam." Miről beszél, miről beszélünk? Az apostol utódok és a katolikus egyház az egyetlen igazság birtokosa, útja (na jó: a II. Vatikáni Zsinatig)
