Monsignor Gilles Wach, founder and prior general of the traditionalist Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest (ICRSP), has been an honorary member of the Rotary Club Firenze Valdisieve for years. Medias-Presse.info highlights Rotary publications from both 2014 and 2024 describing Monsignor Wach as an honorary member, including on occasions when the club was received at the ICRSP seminary in Gricigliano. In 1950, the Holy Office issued a decision, approved by Pope Pius XII, forbidding Catholic clergy from joining Rotary Clubs or attending their meetings. Catholic authorities at the time cited concerns including religious indifferentism and Masonic or anticlerical influences. Medias-Presse.info asks: how does Monsignor Wach reconcile his Rotary affiliation with the tradition his Institute professes to uphold?
All Children of God, All Humanity, Come to the True Faith that is Founded by our Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God in the Holy Apostolic Roman Catholic Church.
Asked whether Leo XIV might reverse Francis’ course, Schneider replied: “Humanly speaking, I don’t think so. But there is still God.”
Humanly speaking, Bishop Schneider doesn't see Leo XIV reversing Francis' course. The celebration of the Pontifical Mass at the end of October in the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore - instead of St. Peter’s Basilica - can be described as a “consolation prize,” Bishop Athanasius Schneider told Gloria.tv (video below). It is “sad,” he said, that these Catholics are not allowed to celebrate Mass in St. Peter’s. At the same time, Santa Maria Maggiore is the most important Marian church in Christendom. Both Pius V - who codified the traditional Mass for all time - and Francis - who restricted it - are buried there. Bishop Schneider intends to pray with the faithful for liturgical peace and for the traditional Mass to be celebrated again without restrictions. Asked whether Leo XIV might reverse Francis’ course, Schneider replied: “Humanly speaking, I don’t think so. But there is still God.” The pilgrimage will pray for Leo XIV, asking God to grant him many graces. Schneider calls the suppression …More
The bishop of Raleigh, North Carolina participated over a shamanistic “smudging” ceremony to celebrate St. Catherine “Kateri” Tekakwitha, who rejected her native Mohawk religion. Pascua Taqui tribe member Richard Duran led the congregation of Holy Cross Catholic Church in Durham in a “smudging” ceremony in July. Smudging is a shamanic ritual that involves burning herbs and resins to “cleanse” a space of negative energy.
Leo XIV calls for the Church to be an ‘open house’ with no ‘judging’
Leo XIV wants the Church to be an "open house" where "everyone has a place". Today, Pope Leo XIV published his video message for October. The prayer intention, using the usual buzzwords, is about mental health ministry, calling on the Church to listen without judging and support those who are suffering. The key phrase is: "May your Church be an open house, a safe space where everyone has a place — a community that accompanies and never excludes; that listens without judging; and that draws near without fear." #newsKcoeptmmtq
Advocate General Laila Medina at the European Court of Justice has issued an opinion in a Belgian case that could have wider implications across the EU for how churches handle requests to erase baptismal records under the GDPR. She concluded that everyone has “in principle, the right to have his or her personal data erased from the baptismal register where the controller fails to demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject.”

Non-stop applause for Leo XIV. Vatican Media published this picture from Leo XIV’s audience with representatives of Gruppo Hera on October 1. It shows members of the delegation standing and applauding the Pope. Every day, Leo XIV receives such standing ovations in the Vatican. His speech called for stronger environmental responsibility, warning against the “uncontrolled consumption of resources” and the growing problem of managing and disposing of “enormous quantities of waste.” #newsJqizykucsc
Please, is there any real video recording of those 4 minutes long applause to him? Try to find it, because that would be revealing — what exactly uberhyperpapolatry means! Which, btw., does not have to mean that it necessarily has to do with the real papacy. Which actually if it had, it wouldn't be called - UBERHYPERPAPOLATRY!
Three of twelve NGOs against a Spanish government proposal to accelerate returns from Ceuta to Morocco have historical or institutional links to the Jesuits, reports InfoVaticana.com. - The Jesuit Migrant Service is part of the Jesuits’ social network. - Entreculturas was promoted by the order and is chaired by Enric Puiggròs, the Jesuit provincial in Spain. - Oxfam Intermón originated in 1956 as a Jesuit missionary organization. The proposed decree followed the large-scale arrival of migrants in Ceuta on July 30 and 31. The twelve NGOs opposed provisions that would impose a seven-day deadline for certain asylum applications, reduce the appeal period to five days and, in certain cases, remove the right to remain in Spain while proceedings were pending. The government later placed the proposal under legal review amid questions about its compatibility with constitutional and international law. #newsMigcosbltj
