The Society of Jesus is continuing a major reorganization of its presence in Catalonia as declining numbers of Jesuits and an aging membership force the closure of houses. Working-Class Communities Close, Elite Schools Remain The first recent closure came in Bellvitge, where the Jesuit community founded in 1968 ended its presence at the close of 2025. It was one of the Jesuits' flagship social apostolates in post-war Spain. The Jesuits also handed over responsibility for the parish of Mare de Déu de Bellvitge. The Jesuïtes Bellvitge – Centre d'Estudis Joan XXIII school continues to operate within the Jesuit education network. The reorganization of Jesuit communities continued in El Clot, where the Jesuit residential community at the end of the academic year 2025-2026. The Society cited the same reasons: fewer active Jesuits, a lack of vocations, and the high average age of its members. Institutions Staffed by Lay Collaborators Jesuit educational and pastoral activities continue through …Suli

"The Church is, at least in the West, in a time of great difficulty, even of confusion, both at the doctrinal level and at the moral and disciplinary level", Cardinal Robert Sarah told IlFoglio.it on August 2. For Cardinal Sarah, it is "a tragedy, indeed a real and proper sin", that there is "a kind of war" and "fierce conflicts" over the liturgy. Main quote: "No one has authority over the rites, which arise from the centuries-long history of the Church. The rites cannot be arbitrarily abolished, and no one can say that a rite no longer exists from one day to the next." The Cardinal wants to return to Benedict XVI.'s Summorum Pontificum, which allows the Mass in the Roman rite alongside the Novus Ordo: "Over the decades, the holy people of God will be able to choose which form best corresponds to their need for faith, silence and spirituality." He added: "Some excesses on the part of those attached to the extraordinary form are, in part, justified by the dramatic and widespread abuses …Suli
Question: Based on all going issues since Benedict XVI resigned from ministerium and not from munus, how one can consider Bergoglio and Prevost were/are true popes? Canon 332 §2 of the 1983 Code states plainly: Si contingat ut Romanus Pontifex muneri suo renuntiet, ad validitatem requiritur ut renuntiatio libere fiat et rite manifestetur, non vero ut a quopiam acceptetur. "If it happens that the Roman Pontiff resigns his munus, it is required for validity that the resignation be freely made and properly manifested, but it is not necessary that it be accepted by anyone." The canon uses munus — not ministerium, not officium, not any other term. Munus in the canonical tradition carries the weight of the office itself: the ontological reality, the gift-and-burden of the Petrine charge, not merely its active exercise. On February 11, 2013, Benedict XVI declared in Latin: ...declaro me ministerio Episcopi Romae, Successoris Sancti Petri, mihi per manus Cardinalium die 19 aprilis MMV …Suli
Auxiliary Bishop Ludger Schepers of Essen, the German Bishops' Conference's commissioner for homosexual propaganda, has urged Catholic parishes to become places where homosexuals can live "without fear". Writing on Kirche-und-Leben.de on August 2, Bishop Schepers commented on the recent deadly attack during Berlin's homosexual march. "Our parishes must be places where every person is welcome and experiences the inalienable dignity that God has given them. No one should ever have to fear prejudice, distrust, or rejection because of their sexual orientation or gender identity." He attacked the Church, claiming gratuitously that she "has not always been a safe place for queer people," adding that biblical passages had too often been taken "out of context" and used against them. Ludger Schepers contrasts what he calls "the Gospel's message of unconditional love" with "the experience of many queer people". This contradiction calls Catholics "to repent". Looking to the global Church, Bishop …Suli
NEW from Bishop Schneider: “History has proved 1,000 times that nothing is more dangerous for a religion – nothing more likely to result in discontent, uncertainty, division & apostasy – than interference with the liturgy”
From Failure at EWTN to Vatican Communication Reform? This morning, Leo XIV received the new Prefect of the Dicastery for Communication, the divorced Zionist Maria Montserrat Alvarado, in audience. During his pontificate, Leo XIV has met the current Prefect, Paolo Ruffini, only rarely and has not held private audiences with other senior Vatican communications officials, including Matteo Bruni, Andrea Tornielli, and Andrea Monda, seeing them only at public events. Alvarado will officially take office in November. Last year, her effort to consolidate EWTN's international news operations under a single EwtnNews.com platform did not achieve its intended goal. The project remained English-only and failed to become the successful international news site originally envisioned.
AUGUST 2026 - Pope Leo reminds all catholics and non-catholics the teachings and stand of the Catholic Church in regards to same sex and irregular unities (people divorced but married by the church and married again by civil law) and clearly states that the Catholic Church will always follow the teachings of our Lord Jesus which does not allow the sin of sodomy, fornication or adultery. Not said this way but he is very clear that this is simply not catholic teachings and indirectly mentions that Pope Francis made mistakes and said things that should not be misinterpreted to justify sin.
Leo XIV approved Cardinal Arthur Roche's text against the Traditional Latin Mass, reaffirming Francis' Traditionis Custodes, reports LaRazon.es on August 2. The text was distributed to about 170 cardinals at the January 7 consistory. Key phrase: "This newspaper has been able to confirm that the cardinal distributed the text at the request of Leo XIV and therefore with the Pope's approval of its contents." According to the newspaper, Cardinal Roche and officials from his dicastery drafted the document at the Pope's request. Leo XIV then personally reviewed it. "He did not change a single comma," Vatican sources said, adding that "the distribution of the document to the cardinals was intended to make the new Pope's position on this issue visible." The one-and-a-half-page document defended Traditionis Custodes, describing Tradition as a "living river" rather than a static preservation of past forms. It claimed that the Novus Ordo is fully consistent with authentic Tradition. Picture: Arthur …Suli

by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira Le Curé d'Ars offrant la nouvelle église à sainte Philomène The book The Spirit of the Cure of Ars by Fr. Alfred Monnin contains the catechism classes, homilies and conversations of Saint John Vianney. One passage speaks about how to see suffering as a privilege. The Cure of Ars says: “Some people do not love God or pray to Him, and yet they prosper. When this happens, it is a bad sign. It means these people did a few good things amid many bad things. God rewards these small good deeds in this life. Sometimes, we say that God punishes those He loves. However, this statement is not always true. For those whom God loves, trials are not punishments; they are graces.” Suffering as a Means of Approaching God This passage summarizes the great principle of Catholic doctrine that suffering is an indispensable means of approaching God. It is indispensable for two reasons. The first is because God wants us, for the good of our souls, to complete that small bit of …Suli
Trump: Die USA können "was immer wir wollen" von der Ukraine nehmen Die USA können von den Vorkommen an Seltenen Erden der Ukraine "so viel nehmen, wie wir wollen", sagte Präsident Donald Trump mit Blick auf ein Abkommen aus dem Jahr 2025. Er fügte hinzu, dass die Gewinne aus dem Abkommen die gesamte amerikanische Hilfe für Kiew seit 2022 letztendlich sogar übersteigen könnten. Trump äußerte diese Bemerkungen in einem Interview mit Real America's Voice, das am Freitag ausgestrahlt wurde. Darin kritisierte er seinen Vorgänger Joe Biden dafür, dass er der Ukraine angeblich 300 Milliarden US-Dollar an militärischer Unterstützung gegeben habe, ohne die Rückzahlung zu sichern. "Er hätte Europa dafür bezahlen lassen können. Doch alles, was sie tun mussten, war zu fragen", sagte Trump und fügte hinzu, dass die europäischen Nationen erst unter seiner Regierung zahlen müssen. Trump sagte nun, die Ukraine habe "sehr reichen, sehr fruchtbaren Boden in Bezug auf seltene Erden. Wir haben einen Vertrag …Suli
Well, NATO which is the US at the front of this war will pay dearly. As I warned since last year. It will take trump to cause WW lll. And here we are. They can't win on the battlefield so they go inside to kill many, many children and civilians. That's what NATO wants. Just like in Iran. Palestine, Lebanon and other countries. I will never forget how they bombed nearly 200 little girls in school. Or chose young boys and girls playing soccer to test out their new weapon. Look what the forked tongue beast is doing in Cuba. Killing many children and starving them. How can the babies survive who need special care to keep machines going without electricity? They don't care. they only care about their greed, pride and deceptions to lead others into hell with them. That's all they care about. GOD has shown us enough signs that man is a beast. But still many defend him. What a shame on them.
David Icke @davidicke Exactly the plan. Force the masses into poverty and dependency (control) and then roll out a pittance 'universal guaranteed income' which you would ultimately only get if you conform and obey. Most people have no idea of the transformation of their lives, so long in the planning, that is about to be unleashed in the run up to 2030 and beyond.
