Cardinal Sarah expressed “deep concern and profound sorrow upon learning of the announcement by the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X that it intends to proceed with episcopal ordinations without a pontifical mandate.” He wrote on LeJdD.fr that the decision would disobey the law of the Church. “We are told that this decision is motivated by the supreme law of the salvation of souls. But salvation is Christ, and He gives Himself only in the Church.” Cardinal Sarah warned that the ordinations could be “an irreversible rupture”: “How many souls risk being lost because of this new rupture?” “We are told that this act aims to defend Tradition and the faith. I know how much the deposit of faith is today sometimes despised by those who themselves have the mission to defend it.” His objection: “Faith can never lead us to renounce obedience to the Church.” “How can we continue to tear apart His Body under the pretext of saving souls?” Cardinal Sarah acknowledged that within the Church …More
They used to face suspension until Pius xii increased the penalty to excommunication. The reason being to protect Chinese Catholic faithful from the ravaging atheist CCP wolves. Now we have the law used to deny the Catholic faithful Catholic teaching and sacraments. While the atheists wolves are rubber stamped to tear the flock apart. We really are in a big mess. Cardinal Sarah is punching the wrong bag. Where is his disgust at the lack of charity for Catholic faithful so poorly treated. O Mother of God please intercede for us.
In 1988, I was saddened to learn that the archbishop consecrated new bishops. Today, I am joyful that the SSPX is consecrating new bishops. Why, because the Church has become worse and much more corrupt and heretical than She was almost 40 years ago.
Breaking News Turn off the TV – Neuro-linguistic programming has been used against populations in many countries and the UK could be in the driver’s seat There is a famous example of Derren Brown using neuro-linguistic programming (“NLP”) to influence Simon Pegg’s selection of a gift. Brown is a well-known British illusionist, mentalist, hypnotherapist and author. Based on the scenario – “Imagine instead of trying to work out what your complicated friend wants for her birthday, you could just go out, buy whatever you like and then convince her that’s what she wants, life would be much easier” – Brown demonstrates conversational hypnosis using techniques such as anchoring, visual cues, suggestion and replacement. As a technology, NLP has an amazing track record for instigating fast and efficient change in individuals and groups. If you ask 10 people, you’ll get 10 different answers but when you get to the crux: NLP is a covert form of direct hypnosis. As with all things, NLP …
Quintus Septimius Florens Tertullianus (c. 155–c. 220 AD), known as Tertullian, was a prolific North African author, lawyer, and early Christian theologian based in Carthage. As the "father of Latin theology," he was the first to write extensive Christian theology in Latin and coined key terms like Trinitas (Trinity).
Hegesippus (180?) and Irenaeus (180) introduce explicitly the idea of the bishop's succession in office as a guarantee of the truth of what he preached in that it could be traced back to the apostles,[36] and they produced succession lists to back this up.[37] That this succession depended on the fact of ordination to a vacant see and the status of those who administered the ordination is seldom commented on. Woollcombe also states that no one questioned the apostolicity of the see of Alexandria despite the fact that its popes were consecrated by the college of presbyters up till the time of the Council of Nicaea in 325. [36] On the contrary, other sources clearly state that Mark the Evangelist is the first bishop of Alexandria (pope of Alexandria);[38] then he ordained Annianus as his successor bishop (2nd pope)[39] as told by Eusebius.[40]
Tertullian (AD 200 ) Every sort of thing must necessarily revert to its original for its classification. Therefore the churches, although they are so many and so great, comprise but the one primitive Church, [founded] by the apostles, from which they all [spring]. In this way, all are primitive, and all are apostolic, while they are all proved to be one in unity” (Demurrer Against the Heretics 20 [A.D. 200]). “But if there be any [heresies] which are bold enough to plant [their origin] in the midst of the apostolic age, that they may thereby seem to have been handed down by the apostles, because they existed in the time of the apostles, we can say: Let them produce the original records of their churches; let them unfold the roll of their bishops, running down in due succession from the beginning in such a manner that [their first] bishop shall be able to show for his ordainer and predecessor some one of the apostles or of apostolic men—a man, moreover, who continued steadfast with …More

Denmark Rejects Trump’s Plan to Send Hospital Boat to Greenland Denmark’s defense minister said Greenland did not need health care assistance, a day after President Trump said he planned to send a “great hospital boat” to the island. nytimes.com/…/22/us/politics/trump-greenland- … Denmark’s defense minister on Sunday rejected a plan by President Trump to send a “great hospital boat” to Greenland, the Arctic island and semiautonomous territory of Denmark that Mr. Trump has long sought to acquire. The president said in a post on Truth Social on Saturday that the boat would “take care of the many people who are sick, and not being taken care of there,” adding that it was “on the way!!!” But Troels Lund Poulsen, the Danish defense minister, told Denmark’s public broadcaster, DR, that his government had not been made aware of the plan. He said that there was “no need for special health care efforts” in Greenland. It was not clear why Mr. Trump planned to assist Greenland with its …More
Italiener berichten: Trump kommt nicht zu Olympia! Die Gerüchteküche kochte in den vergangenen Tagen wegen eines Besuchs von US-Präsident Donald Trump zu den Olympischen Spielen in Italien über.

Reflection by Pope Leo XIV Dear friends, the historic and cultural differences in our Churches represent a wonderful mosaic of our shared Christian heritage, which is something we can all appreciate. At the same time, we should continue to support each other, so that we may grow in our shared faith in Christ, who is the ultimate source of our peace. This requires that we learn to “disarm ourselves.” (Address to the Participants in the Study Visit of Young Priests and Monks from the Eastern Orthodox Churches - February 5, 2026)
@myunkie, unlike you and that theologian from Rome, I agree more with Catherine of Siena who says; shout at the top of your voice, because of the silence I see how the world burns and perishes. What is also necessary to know is not to mix pears and apples, that is, not to mix the times in which it is necessary to do one thing and not to refer to the other... As the preacher teaches us, there is a time for everything; A time to be born and a time to die; a time to plant and a time to uproot what is planted. A time to kill and a time to heal; a time to tear down and a time to build. A time to cry and a time to laugh; a time to mourn and a time to dance. A time to throw stones and a time to gather stones; a time to embrace and a time to forsake embracing. A time to seek and a time to lose; a time to keep and a time to throw away. A time to shout and a time to sing; a time to keep silence and a time to speak. A time to kiss and a time to hate; a time to war and a time to peace. We see in …More
