James Martin SJ Wants the Church to Ordain [More] Homosexual Priests: Homosexual activist Fr James Martin SJ has called on Pope Leo XIV to remove the – largely unenforced – restrictions against "celibate homosexuals" to become priests. Fr Martin believes that "sexual orientation" alone should not stop a man from being ordained. He points to Pope Francis, who said there are already many "holy, healthy and celibate" homosexual priests. However, in 2005 Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger concluded that men with deep-seated homosexual temptations should not enter the seminary because they lack the emotional maturity needed for lifelong celibacy.
Leo's Synodal Train Wreck. ~ The health of the Church prior to Vat.11 was clearly illustrated by the record number of Church Marriages, Baptisms, Confirmations, Vocations, as well as high attendance of Sunday Mass and Holy Days of obligation. ~ All that quickly eroded following the closure of Vat.11. ~ The subsequent 'train wreck' of the so-called 'Renewal' of the Church which was also couched with the enthusiastic embracement of 'The Holy Spirit' at work, a notion first muted by Pope John XX111, was a clear example of stupidity, suggesting that for two thousand years, 'The Holy Spirit' had been asleep. ~ With the demise of Pope John XX111, followed by the election of Pope Paul V1, we witnessed the dismantling of the Holy Mass, which became the impetuous, seemingly, for the never ending changes to all things traditional. ~ Personally speaking, this writer will continue to hold fast to that which the Apostles taught and was ratified by subsequent early Church councils. ~ God Bless Archbishop …ಇನ್ನಷ್ಟು
Cotignac Shrines Survive Devastating Wildfire: A major wildfire in southeastern France burned more than 2,500 hectares, destroyed around 60 homes, forced the evacuation of 500 people, and injured four people. Although the flames came within meters of the pilgrimage sites of Our Lady of Graces and Saint Joseph of Cotignac, both sanctuaries were left undamaged, thanks in part to firefighters and vegetation-clearing efforts.
This post offers another clear instance of the place where faithful Catholics meet the political apparatus of the United States, a constitutional republic ordered toward the common good. The intersection is not optional. It arises from the duty to protect the innocent and to order society according to truth. There remain those who claim one can be fully pro-life and authentically Catholic while remaining entirely detached from the political sphere. That position cannot be sustained. The defense of human life from conception is a public responsibility as well as a private conviction. When the law and the culture fail to safeguard the weakest, Catholics are not free to withdraw. Engagement with the temporal order is required by the very faith that declares every human life sacred. Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) on X
Leo XIV Promoted This Hopping, Dancing Bishop in Mexico: In January 2026, Pope Leo XIV appointed Monsignor Trinidad Antonio Márquez Guerrero, 60, as auxiliary bishop of San Juan de los Lagos, Mexico. He was consecrated a bishop on May 8. On Sunday, July 19, he celebrated a Eucharist during the diocesan Youth Day in the bullring in Yahualica, attended by some 1,300 young people. Still wearing his mitre and liturgical vestments, he started hopping and dancing around like an overexcited young person.

1) The Holy Scriptures teach about Purgatory as a Place of purification to attain the necessary holiness to see God. a) 2 Maccabees 12:39–46; The next day, they went in search of Judas to gather the bodies of those who had fallen and lay them to rest with their relatives in their fathers’ tombs. Then they found, under the tunics of each of the dead, objects consecrated to the idols of Jamnia, which the Law forbids to the Jews. It was then clear to all why those men had perished. They all blessed the works of the Lord, the just Judge who reveals hidden things, and they turned to supplication, praying that the sin committed might be completely erased. The valiant Judas urged the crowd to keep themselves free from sin, in light of what had happened because of the sin of those who had perished. After collecting nearly 2,000 drachmas from his men, he sent them to Jerusalem to offer a sin offering, acting in a most beautiful and noble way, with the resurrection in mind. For if he had not …ಇನ್ನಷ್ಟು
Anecdotes about Pope Leo XIV's student years at the International College of St. Monica in Rome, belonging to the Augustinian Fathers, are published in the new Vatican News documentary Leone a Roma. An Augustinian friar recalls that fellow students played "so many jokes" on him—"so many." One night he woke convinced an airplane was circling outside his window. The brothers had hidden a ringing radio on top of his wardrobe, leaving him searching for the mysterious noise in the middle of the night. On another occasion, someone offered this friar what he thought was a candy. "They said to me, 'Here, I would like to offer you a candy.' So I thought it was a candy, but instead it was a laxative tablet. As a result, while I was in the chapel I had to run to the bathroom." The documentary accompanies the story with the photo of a smiling young Robert Prevost, without suggesting who was responsible. Another friar recalls that the future pope would squeeze into his room every single evening to …ಇನ್ನಷ್ಟು
Aztec-Inspired Concert "Misa Azteca" at Los Angeles Cathedral: On 27 June, the Cathedral of Los Angeles hosted a performance of the concert 'Misa Azteca', a piece by the composer Joseph Julián González. The production incorporated pagan Mexican musical traditions and featured Nahua poetry and Aztec-inspired dance. The programme began with a ceremonial procession of dancers. Contrary to online claims, the event was not a Eucharist.
This happened on Saturday, June 27, 2026. Apparently Misa Azteca is a unique work that brings together the prayers of the Latin Mass with the rhythms and sounds of indigenous Mexican musical traditions.
EVERYTHING but the Traditional Mass of the Ages. But, of course, there's "no state of emergency, no necessity whatsoever".... "When therefore you shall see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place: he that readeth let him understand." Matthew 24:15
Peruvian priest Ricardo Yesquén Paiva has died at the age of 59 without ever facing a canonical or civil investigation into allegations that he sexually abused a 10-year-old girl in 2006. In September 2024, the Diocese of Chiclayo said Yesquén suffered from a "serious degenerative illness" that left him incapable of defending himself in canonical proceedings. The diocese never identified the illness. The complainants disputed the explanation, pointing to official diocesan records and photographs showing him at public liturgical events through at least early 2023, contradicting claims that he had long ceased exercising ministry. One image from January 2023 shows then-Bishop Robert Prevost - now Pope Leo XIV - celebrating a birthday alongside Yesquén, nearly three years after the first complaint. The case gained international attention because the first complaint against Yesquén reached Bishop Prevost as early as March 2020, while he led the Diocese of Chiclayo. Two Accused Priests, One …ಇನ್ನಷ್ಟು
Italian journalist Luigi Casalini of MessaInLatina.it is standing by his reporting on the Vatican's canonical trial of Rev. Marko Ivan Rupnik after the Holy See denied reports that the judges had reached a decision. Yesterday, Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni called claims of any judicial deliberation "absolutely unfounded." However, Casalini argues today that the Vatican refuted something his publication never claimed. His sources indicated that certain allegations had been removed from the proceedings because they lacked sufficient evidence or did not constitute offenses under Canon Law - not that a final verdict had been reached. "The question," Casalini writes, "is whether our report is unfounded, or whether the only unfounded claim - one we never made - is that a final judgment has already been reached." Casalini's most striking point concerns a recent conversation with Rupnik. He says a mutual acquaintance spoke with the former Jesuit about twenty days ago, during which Rupnik …ಇನ್ನಷ್ಟು
Here we see another example of the inverted schism of those who have separated themselves from God and rebel against God's law, and who—defying Christ—contradict Catholic morality while remaining in full communion with Prevost, just as they did with Bergoglio.
Leo XIV Visits Mountain Sanctuary: Today, Pope Leo XIV made another surprise pilgrimage, visiting the mountainside Sanctuary of the Most Holy Trinity in Vallepietra. He traveled there by car. The sanctuary, famous for its medieval fresco of the Holy Trinity, lies about 60 miles northeast of Castel Gandolfo in the Simbruini Mountains.

China has a new bishop. Giuseppe Chang Yanfeng, 42, was appointed by the Chinese authorities in March (!) and approved by Pope Leo XIV alledgely in June under the Vatican-China agreement before being ordained bishop of Chifeng today.

A patriotic bishop unilaterally selected by a communist regime is no problem whatsoever for the Holy See. Traditionalists are. Pope Leo approves without a word. The stones are crying out . It's a strange world. Poor Jesus; one crucifixion obviously isn't enough for some.
