Italian MP Defends Former Papal Master of Ceremonies

Public support for Monsignor Marco Agostini, the former Master of Papal Ceremonies, has emerged in Italy. He was dismissed after an audio recording was circulated in which he was allegedly heard using offensive language about members of the Roman Curia. While a microphone was unintentionally left on ahead of a Christmas greeting, he reportedly said that they are all "assholes" and "faggots".
On 4 January, VeronaNews.net reported that Vito Comencini (Popolo Veneto), a member of the Italian Chamber of Deputies, had issued a public letter expressing solidarity with the prelate.
Comencini considers the dismissal 'unjust and foolish', adding that it represents a 'worrying sign of persecution'.
Neither the audio nor the dismissal has been accompanied by an official explanation from Vatican authorities.
The Italian politician is aware that Monsignor Agostini had been 'targeted for some time' and claims that the alleged interception merely served as justification for his removal.

CONSERVATIVE CARDINALS AT THE CONSISTORY SUPPORT THE LIBERAL AND SCHISMATIC VATICAN COUNCIL II APPROVED BY THE LEFT

CONSERVATIVE CARDINALS AT THE CONSISTORY SUPPORT THE LIBERAL AND SCHISMATIC VATICAN COUNCIL II APPROVED BY THE LEFT
Cardinals today are in a similar situation as when King Henry VIII wanted to marry Anne Boleyn and threathened to take away the property of the English cardinals who did not support him. So Protestantism was born.
Cardinals Sarah, Burke, Muller and Napier at the Consistory were supporting an irrational interpretation of Vatican Council II which is politically correct and is used to rationalize LGBT ideology.
The conservative cardinals did not issue a statement saying ‘LG 8, 14, 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc in Vatican Council II refer to hypothetical cases only. They are not physically visible examples of salvation outside the Catholic Church. They are not explicit exceptions for Ad Gentes 7 (all need faith and baptism for salvation) and neither are objective exceptions for the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus of the Council of Florence 1442, which did not mention …More

Cardinals Received a Document Opposing the Roman Rite at the Consistory - Report

Although the subject of the Mass in the Roman rite was not raised openly during the consistory on January 7-8, it was nevertheless referenced in writing.
“While the liturgy was put aside,” an anonymous cardinal told TheCatholicHerald.com, “we were given a paper at the end written by Cardinal Arthur Roche, which was pretty negative concerning the Tridentine Latin Mass.”
Cardinal Roche, Prefect of the Dicastery for Liturgy, has been one of the key figures in implementing Pope Francis's 2021 apostolic letter Traditionis custodes, which restricts the celebration of the Mass.

Deo gratias! Understanding that there's no way the Mass of the ages could ever be changed is how I finally came to realize these clerical imposters are NOT legitimate. It gets more clear by the day!

Massachusetts father wins injunction against school that pushed LGBT books on 5-year-old son - LifeSite

Fri Jan 9, 2026 - 5:27 pm ESTFri Jan 9, 2026 - 8:36 pm EST
LEXINGTON, Massachusetts (
LifeSiteNews) — A Massachusetts father has won a preliminary injunction against a local school district that had insisted on exposing his five-year-old son to pro-LGBTQ books.
The case pitted a devout Christian father – cited as Alan L., father of J.L. in court documents – against the Lexington Public School District (LPSD) and Joseph Estabrook Elementary School (JEES).
The father objected to the content of certain books concerning sexual themes and contended that his child has been compelled “to participate in classroom instruction that promote[s] sexualized and ideological messages directly contrary to his family’s faith.”
He also contended that as a parent, he had the right to be notified before his son is exposed to objectionable sexual material and to be able to opt his child out of lessons and other classroom activities involving those materials.
Before bringing a civil suit before the court, …

13% of a U.S. Diocese Try "Ad Orientem" Eucharists

Throughout 2025, Bishop Daniel Felton of Duluth, Minnesota, has "permitted" nine parishes in the diocese to celebrate the Eucharist ad orientem, with the priest and congregation facing the same direction.
The "permissions" were granted following requests from parish priests and on a trial basis.
Bishop Felton began with an instruction issued in 2024. He wrote that celebrating the Eucharist facing the pews has been widely adopted in the Church since the Second Vatican Council. He added that some Catholics believe this posture has resulted in a loss of 'a sense of transcendence'. Bishop Felton required that both liturgical postures be treated with mutual respect. Priests had to explain their motivations for celebrating ad orientem to him personally and consult their parishioners beforehand.
The frequency of the posture varied by parish. Some communities celebrated ad orientem every Sunday, while others did so once a month.
The Diocese of Duluth comprises 69 parishes. The nine parishes …More

In the Diocese of Austin, I was instrumental in helping them develop a Latin ad orientem Novus Ordo (I knew that was the beginning of the end). I did it because they begged me, being the resident liturgical expert and having the ability to read and competently speak Latin. I made it a point to teach myself those rubrics (not really rubrics) so that I could have a knowledge of the false dichotomy.
The Latin Novus Ordo ad orientem is not the TLM. No way, no how. Lipstick on a pig (I speak of the liturgy, not the miracle of transubstantiation). That’s what this city has now. Good for them. They forced me out of the Church by making me overly bitter and frustrated.
It is still the same humanist liturgy it always is. Some slap on more makeup and have two deacons (one for the Word, one for the Eucharist) to simulate having an actual subdeacon. Utterly laughable and pathetic, nay synthetic.

sp2 . .

What this fine Bishop should have said was: that if any priest can take out a compass and face East, he is very free to say liturgy in that direction.
If you are going to return to true tradition, do it right, and not repeat past mistakes.

Every January 9, the Fiesta of the Poong Hesus Nazareno of Quiapo draws millions of Filipino devotees to Manila for the annual Traslacion. People flock to Quiapo to commemorate the traditional transfer of the image, originally from Mexico, from Intramuros to the Quiapo Church. What is supposed to be remembered is a solemn act of devotion, a penitential procession reenacting a historical moment of faith. The modern Traslacion follows the route from Quirino Grandstand to Quiapo Church, and by nature this devotion is good. No question about that. Filipinos have a deep love for Christ crucified, suffering, carrying the cross. That instinct is Catholic and it is beautiful.
But let us be honest and blunt. As the years go by, what used to be a solemn and organized procession has turned into chaos. People get injured. People get trampled. People even die. And yet every year we repeat the same thing and pretend nothing is wrong. If you ask the elderly, those who witnessed the Traslacion decades …More

Bishop Eleganti: "Papal Teaching Has Become Incoherent"

Documents such as Fiducia Supplicans on homosexual "blessings" or Mater Populi Fidelis on Our Lady need to be corrected and given a “true interpretation in the sense of the traditional doctrine” in order to remain coherent with tradition, retired Swiss Auxiliary Bishop Marian Eleganti told Michael Haynes on 8 January for PelicanPlus.com (Blogger software Ghost.org):
"The biggest problem is that we have never had a situation like this before, where the Dicastery or the Magisterium of the Church has become inconsistent and incoherent. That’s the great problem. We have to correct that."
The Bishop added: "As we have seen with Fiducia Supplicans, there has been resistance to the document, and good theological arguments have been put forward against it. The document is not well founded. So, resistance is arising, and you can observe that, in a second note, Cardinal Fernández downplays it a little."
Regarding Islam, Bishop Eleganti said that he is not "so naive as to think that water and …More

2 Timothy 4:3-4
"For the time will come when they will not listen to the sound doctrine, but having itching ears, will heap up for themselves teachers after their own lusts, and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn away to fables."

Hound of Heaven

If the Papal 'teaching' is "inconsistent and incoherent", it does not follow or draw upon Christ's teachings which are the essence of consistency and coherency. Inconsistent and incoherent 'teachings' are nothing short of heresy. Any Pope worthy of the Seat would point that out and act accordingly.

HILDEBRAND, LEFEBVRE, MATTEI, GRUNER, FERRARA AND MARSHALL USED THE FALSE PREMISE TO INTERPRET VATICAN COUNCIL II IN IGNORANCE.

HILDEBRAND, LEFEBVRE, MATTEI, GRUNER, FERRARA AND MARSHALL USED THE FALSE PREMISE TO INTERPRET VATICAN COUNCIL II IN IGNORANCE.
Dietrich and Alice von Hildebrand, Paolo Pascualucci, Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, Roberto dei Mattei, Fr. Nicholas Gruner, Christopher Ferrara, Mons. Ignacio Barreiro and others were all interpreting Vatican Council II with Cushingism. So this line of traditionalist writers had it wrong on the Council. Their premise was wrong and so their conclusion was wrong.
Roberto dei Mattei will not announce that he made a mistake on Vatican Council II all these years
Taylor Marshall interprets St. Thomas Aquinas with Cushingism and not Feeneyism and so there is a rupture with Tradition for him.
Michael Davies, Atila Sinke Guimares, John Vennari interpreted Vatican Council II with a false premise. So there was an artificial rupture with extra ecclesiam nulla salus (Feeneyite), the Syllabus of Errors, Athanasius Creed etc.
The SSPX bishops too made their original …
