The Vatican’s decision to award the Grand Cross of the Order of Pius IX to Mohammad Hossein Mokhtari - Iran’s ambassador to the Holy See - has sparked controversy. Mokhtari has served as ambassador since 2023 and received the decoration on Tuesday together with twelve other diplomats. Iranian state-linked media portrayed the award as a personal recognition by Leo XIV and linked it to the Pope’s criticism of military escalation against Iran. The Vatican, however, stressed that the decoration was part of a routine diplomatic custom. Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni said that the Order of Pius IX is traditionally granted to all ambassadors accredited to the Holy See after roughly two years of service. The medal was not personally handed over by Leo XIV, but by Archbishop Paolo Rudelli of the Secretariat of State. The diploma was signed by Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Parolin. #newsRriwyrpvvv
15.05.2026 Why did they choose Cardinal Burke to lead the prayers at the Chartres Pilgrimage ? Cardinal Burke has generally been politically correct with the Left, on the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus with no known exceptions. He does not affirm it in public. He also interprets Vatican Council II irrationally and not rationally and so is politically correct on this point too. The Athanasius Creed has exception for him even though it did not have exceptions for the Magisterium over the centuries. The young people participating in the Chartres pilgrimage do not know the Catholic faith and the cardinal prudently is not going to tell them about it.- Lionel Andrades 14.05.2026 (Updated) SSPX LAITY CARD.FERNANDEZ IS IN PUBLIC SCHISM: YOU HAVE TO PROVE IT BEFORE JULY 1 VATICAN COUNCIL II IS RATIONAL Pro-SSPX families must interpret Vatican Council II rationally i.e. LG 8,LG 14,LG 16,UR 3,NA 2, GS 22 etc in Vatican Council II refer to hypothetical and invisible cases only in 2026.

Via Remix News, Amidst continued fears regarding Putin attacking beyond Ukraine and economic uncertainty caused by the continued closure of the Strait of Hormuz, Brussels is reportedly beginning to grumble, i.e., look for someone to blame and remove. Now, according to a report by Finnish public service media Yle, cited by Világgazdaság, voices are growing to remove the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen. Several European leaders, as well as NATO officials, have long warned that Moscow may potentially attack NATO states, which is why there has been a continued push for support for Ukraine to prevail in its war with Russia. In the event of such a scenario, where Putin looks to further his ambitions and attack inside NATO, rapid and effective cooperation between European countries will be crucial, which is why, according to this recent report, some are wondering if von der Leyen is the right person for the job. One name that has been put forth for “European war …
We see here a glimpse of the savagery that was Before Christ (B.C.). An era with subhuman values that could conceive of crucifixion as a form of capital punishment. The exception in the era B.C. were the people of Israel who can be best understood the apostolic church B.C with sacramental analogues (see 2 Samuel 12:13 for confession, Elisha’s miracle in 2 Kings 4:42–44 for communion) without the universal aspect (the meaning of Catholic). In the Anno Domini era (A.D.) the Universal/Catholic Church took hold.

Let us remember that the rebellion against the cassock by these modernist heretics represents a rebellion against the Sacrament of the Priesthood—against Christ and against His Church. When Pope Leo Took His Altar Servers to a Rock … The modernist Robert Prevost taught his altar boys a love for the world. Galatians 1:10 If I wanted to please men, I would no longer be a servant of Christ!
In Peru, Prevost Took His Altar Servers to a Rock Concert Christ rebukes worldly, secularized priests in the revelations to Saint Bridget: “They do not speak of my marvelous works, nor do they teach my doctrine; on the contrary, they teach love for the world” (4.132).
The German Catholic Congress (Katholikentag), taking place May 13–17 in Würzburg, will include a workshop on May 14 entitled: “Planning Blessing Services with Trans* Individuals.” The Congress is one of Germany’s largest Catholic gatherings and includes more than 900 events. There is a strong presence of politicians, including Protestant President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Markus Söder, Ricarda Lang, Andrea Nahles, and climate activist Luisa Neubauer.

Other official program events include: - Bible workshop: “Reading the Bible queerly: Why God is a fan of diversity” - When queer believers encounter the Church - From murder mystery dinners to escape games: discovering queer traces in the Bible through playful methods - Queer in the climate crisis: vulnerability and empowerment — also in Europe …More
(PerMariam) — The Society of Saint Pius X has responded to the Holy See’s warning of excommunication by publishing an open declaration of Catholic Faith, writing to Pope Leo and expressing their desire “to truly call ourselves Catholics and, consequently, your sons.” For over fifty years the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) “has endeavoured to set before the Holy See a matter of conscience in the face of the errors that are destroying Catholic faith and morals,” according to the SSPX’s superior general Fr. Davide Pagliarani. “Regrettably,” he added, “all the discussions entered into have remained without result, and none of the concerns expressed have received any truly satisfactory response.” {The full statement can be read online, or at the bottom of this article. For Per Mariam’s full coverage of the ongoing SSPX consecrations, see here.} He lamented that in that same time period, “the only solution truly considered by the Holy See has appeared to be that of canonical sanctions …
Truly a scandal for Rome...the above list of their transgressions is the major reason the sspx wants to be set up differently....and they could be if the charity which should be the hallmark and driving principle of the Catholic Church really existed!
1) An Amazonian Rite is approved; 2) Pachamama is honored; 3) homosexual blessings go without censure; 4) the Holy See allows Gay Activist pilgrimages to enter Saint Peters without objection or moral correction; 5) an Anglican female "Archbishop" is received with honors and "blesses" Bishops who accept her "blessing" in a Roman Basilica; 6) Pope Leo even prays she "may be fruitful in the service to which the Holy Spirit has called you" (i.e. the Holy Spirit collaborates in the spreading of error?); 7) the Vatican collaborates with WEF and globalist agendas, etc. etc.. BUT.....SSPX -- faithful to the Church of the Ages, and the Mass of the Ages -- alone receives condemnation for wanting to provide for its over 600,000 truly Catholic faithful, its hundreds of truly Catholic chapels and schools, its five Catholic seminaries and 300+ seminarians, its religious and 700+ Priests. No State of Emergency.....?
The greatest pain of hell has not yet been told. You shall hear it now. XXIII. The Pain of Loss It is easy to understand the other pains of hell, because there are pains like them on earth. But it is difficult to understand the pain of loss, because there is nothing like it on earth. You must know that when a soul has been condemned to hell at the judgment-seat, God lets it see for a moment something of what it has lost. It sees the immense happiness it would have had in heaven with God and his angels and saints. And now it sees that all this blessed happiness is lost -- lost by its own fault, lost for ever, lost without hope! Listen to the painful cry of a child which has lost its mother! Listened to the wailings of the people in Ireland when their sister is leaving them to go to America, and perhaps they will never see her any more. Then you may think what a wailing there will be when a soul hears these words from God: "Depart from me for ever." Listen to the shriek of that mad man …More
"I will burn you in the fire of my wrath; you shall be melted in the midst thereof as silver is melted in the fire. You do not, perhaps, like a headache. Think what a headache that girl must have. But see more. She is wrapped up in flames, for her frock is fire. If she were on earth she would be burnt to a cinder in a moment. But she is in hell, where fire burns everything, but burns nothing away. There she stands burning and scorched; there she will stand for ever burning and scorched!"
Do you feel called to the priesthood? For those who might feel God is leading them in that direction, one Catholic priest explained three signs to look for in a viral reel published by Sydney Vocations on Instagram. In the video, Father Daniele Russo, the Director of Vocations for the Archdiocese of Sydney, quickly breaks down signs of a potential call to the priesthood and how to recognize them. The caption also encourages the viewer to bring these signs to prayer. Here are Father Daniele Russo’s three signs you might have a vocation to the priesthood: 1) The Holy Nag “Sign number one, the holy nag,” he says. “So those who are called might experience thoughts of the priesthood that don't seem to leave them. Thoughts of celebrating the sacraments that seem to persist through time.” 2) An Attraction to the Sacraments “Sign number two: an attraction to the sacraments,” Father Russo continues. “If we are at Mass or in confession and imagining ourselves as being the one to administer …

The See of Rome never had administrative or jurisdictional authority over the Coptic Orthodox Church. While Rome held a place of "primacy of honor" in the early, undivided Church as the capital of the empire, the Coptic Church has always been autocephalous (self-governing), led by its own Pope of Alexandria. Early Church (Pre-451 AD): In the early centuries, the Church of Alexandria (Coptic) and the Church of Rome were sister churches. Rome was respected as the first among equals, but it did not dictate the internal governance, theology, or daily affairs of the Alexandrian patriarchate. The Schism of 451 AD: The Coptic Church split from Rome and Constantinople at the Council of Chalcedon in 451 AD over Christological disputes. Following this council, the Coptic Church operated entirely independently of Rome's sphere of influence. The Papal Title: Both the Bishop of Rome and the Bishop of Alexandria hold the title "Pope". In the Coptic Church, the term derives from the Greek pappas…More
From a former undocumented immigrant to the nation's youngest prelate, Pope Leo XIV's recent bishop appointments reflect a diverse Catholic Church in his homeland. Since his election on May 8 last year, Pope Leo XIV has named numerous bishops to fill posts around the world, also in the USA. Before becoming pope, Cardinal Robert Prevost was himself in charge of proposing new bishops for established Latin Rite dioceses around the world. So, while such decisions are never taken lightly, Leo XIV is particularly keyed in to the needs and criteria involved. As of May 6, 2026, he has made 26 appointments of bishops for his homeland. This includes raising priests to the bishopric, elevating auxiliary bishops to new dioceses, and transferring ordinary bishops to new sees. Eleven of these bishops — 42% — were born outside the United States. Sixteen of them are under 60 years old, and the youngest is 45. Only three come from religious communities: a Jesuit, a Benedictine, and an Oratorian. They …
Abp. Vigano: Müller, Sarah, and Burke constitute a controlled opposition. Their role is to contain the hemorrhage of Catholics caused by the conciliar revolution, deluding the faithful into thinking that it is possible for two opposing entities to coexist. Obedience to the Hierarchy becomes misleading when it deviates from the Truth of Dogma and Tradition. Unity is not primarily institutional but doctrinal, rooted in the immutable Deposit of Faith. Prevost promotes the demon of lust—Asmodeus with the 'blessing' of sodomy, adultery and cohabitation

Thou receivedst after this white raiment for a sign that thou hast put off the covering of sins, thou hast put on the chaste garments of innocence, whereof the Prophet said, Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be clean : thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow.

Doubting Angels ~ "Who is the King of Glory?" "36. The angels also doubted when Christ rose, the powers of the heavens doubted seeing that flesh ascended into heaven. So they said, Who is the King of glory ? And when some said, Lift up the gates of your Prince, and be ye lift up, ye everlasting gates, and the King of glory shall come in; then others doubted saying, Who is this King of glory ? In Isaiah too thou readest that the powers of the heavens doubting said, Who is this that cometh up from Edom, the crimson of his garments is from Bozrah, beauteous in white apparel ?"
The Church in white garments: "37. But Christ seeing his Church in white garments—the Church for whom he had put on filthy garments, as thou readest in the book of the prophet Zechariah—or seeing, it may be, the soul clean and washed by the laver of regeneration, saith, Behold, thou art fair, my neighbour ; behold, thou art fair; thine eyes are as a dove's—in whose likeness the Holy Spirit descended from heaven. Beautiful eyes as of a dove—because in the likeness thereof the Holy Spirit descended from heaven."
